You draw your own conclusions. 19 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: Just please do your research. Coming up at the fifty 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: five CARC Morning Show seven oh five with Congressman Warren 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: David said, yes, the government is still shut down. Senate 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: went through the whole motion again yesterday, and of course 23 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats sticking to their guns saying no to reopening 24 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: the government. Is it breaking your heart? And a little 25 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: alarm alarm bell ringing for me. I saw this headline 26 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. I read the article Republicans 27 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: cautioned White House on inflicting shutdown pain. You know, Donald 28 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: Trump had said the other day that within four or 29 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: five days, the Office of Management and Budget would provide 30 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: him with the list of all those extra agencies and 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: employees in government that really aren't necessary and probably should 32 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: have been fired a long time ago, being unnecessary, and 33 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: of course responsible for part of the bloat in federal government. 34 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, hey, hey, you might not want to 35 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: go down that road because it might give the Democrats 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: a leg up in the argument over who is responsible 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: for the shutdown. The suggestion being if Donald Trump goes 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: through and fudge a bunch of people, then they're going 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: to point to that and say, see, here's the reason 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: the government was shut down. Donald Trump just wanted to 41 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: be in a position where he could shut and fire 42 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: and close down various departments. Look, he's at it. There's 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: the revelation right there. They can try. I mean, you'd 44 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: have to throw that argument out in the face of 45 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: the repeated arguments from Democrats that they want to continue 46 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen era gift, which was no premium for Obamacare. 47 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: How can you get away from the fact that it 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: was a COVID nineteen related thing. Was it necessary at 49 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: the time? Right, Well, with hindsight we might say no. 50 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Was it necessary to shut the entire economy down during 51 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Well, with hindsight you might say no. Do 52 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: we learn a lot of lessons for the future about 53 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: what we need to keep open and shut down? Yeah? 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: I think we did. As there been a lot of 55 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: litigation over the unconstitutional closing of businesses, churches, free exercise 56 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: of religion, right to free assembly, et cetera, et cetera. 57 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: Firing people for not getting COVID nineteen. Yeah, a lot 58 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: of them, and most of them went the favor of 59 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: the people who were subject to the abuse, The people 60 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 1: who lost their jobs because they wouldn't get a COVID 61 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine. You got your job back and you got 62 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: some back pay. So yeah, we learned a lot. So 63 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: all that was going on and all these abuses of 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: our rights were taking place, they thought it was appropriate 65 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: to give us relief on COVID night or on Obamacare. 66 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: Those days are over. The predicate doesn't exist anymore. So 67 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: who wins that argument? Well, if people out in the 68 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: world are actually paying attention and they walked through the motions, 69 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: they realize that, yes, it's the Democrats again. We're looking 70 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: at a cr that they rejected yesterday that keeps the 71 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: government funding at Biden era funding level. Schumer's got nothing 72 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: to complain about other than the far left of his 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: party who are insisting that you and I be well 74 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: permanently held hostage under a one size fits all, which 75 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: never fits everybody form of medical care from the government. Golly, 76 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, I rail against the idea of, you know, 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: your life being dependent upon the government. I've always looked 78 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: at like, for example, moving over to pharmaceuticals, do you 79 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: want your life to be contingent on getting a drug 80 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: from a pharmaceutical company? I wouldn't. Nobody wants to be 81 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: in that position. But once you're there, you're kind of 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: on shaky ground. Is that company always going to be 83 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: there is regulation going to take the drug away from me. 84 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Is some FDA going to say, oh my god, that 85 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: drug's no longer approved and you no longer have it. 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: Your life's inm pariled. Somebody is responsible for your life. 87 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: That would be you under a government medical program. Can 88 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: you sue the government for denying medical care? Probably not. 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: They're usually immune from liability. Can you sue an insurance 90 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: company for refusal to pay a claim that should be 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: covered under your policy. You're damn right you can, and 92 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: you can sue them for bad faith. That kind of 93 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: litigation goes on all the time. The rights are in 94 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: your corner. You have a contract, you're paying your premium. 95 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: They have obligations that they owe to you. It's a 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: sort of a free market concept out here in the 97 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: real world of medical care. You can just take that 98 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: and flush it down the toilet. I'm sorry, due to 99 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: limitations on government. We have a massive debt, we have 100 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: debt service, we have all these obligations. We're cutting back 101 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: on your medical program. That's the future and an a 102 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: one size fits all approach where government is that one 103 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: size That is not something I view positively at all. 104 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: You draw your own conclusions Senator Ran Paul seven thirty 105 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: with the Senator shut down Senates and uh well peace 106 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: in Israel. We do have a glimmer of hope and 107 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: it's a really beautiful thing that happened yesterday. Get to 108 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: that minute.

However, of the forty five or 174 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: so hostages that are within the control of Hamas, apparently 175 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: only about twenty are alive. Hamas has reported that locating 176 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: the bodies of the dead hostages may prove to be 177 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: a bit of a challenge because they're not located in 178 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: areas under its control, or at least all of them are, 179 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: and they've got bodies strewn all over the place. I 180 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: guess they lost track or where they park them. The 181 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: hostage families released a statement say the hostage families wish 182 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: to express deep gratitude too. Oh there's another reference, US 183 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and his team for the leadership and 184 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: determination that led to this historic breakthrough, an end of 185 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: the war, and a comprehensive agreement to return all the hostages. Well, 186 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: now there are certain terms of the agreement remaining unclear. 187 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: Now the hostage part seems to be locked in. Israel's 188 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: going to give up the hostages it's holding and those 189 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: that they have sentenced to prison. AMASA is giving up 190 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: the ones that are alive, as well as returning the 191 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: dead bodies. But what else is going to happen now? 192 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: Under the original agreement, AMAS would have to completely disarm 193 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: in exchange for the operation to end the war. More 194 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: humanitarian aid for the Palestines would have to be pushed 195 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: into the area, and planning for the reconstruction of Gaza 196 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: that is still to be determined how and who's going 197 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: to manage all of that? But can you imagine the 198 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: reconstruction of Gaza? Think of like post World War II 199 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: Europe bombed out, Yes, but what emerged from the other side, 200 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: with great assistance from the United States, who perceived, hmm, 201 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: the opportunity to build a great block of trading partners 202 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: and lo and behold, welcome to the NATO Alliance and 203 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: Western Europe join forces with the rest of the Western 204 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: world and bringing about massive success, only to be undermined 205 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: by the radical shift to the left toward socialism. See 206 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: the economies of Germany and France right now. Anyway, Sorry 207 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: to interject that Hamas under the original terms also to 208 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: have been granted amnesty for willingly giving up their arms, 209 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: So no ramifications for those who engage in hostilities against Israel. 210 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: Specifics on various aspects of the deal are ambiguous according 211 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: to the reporting, including the international quote Board of Peace 212 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: close quote that apparently is going to be headed by 213 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump as well as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. 214 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: Board of Peace. The question is what troops are going 215 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: to be supporting, you know, by way of the muscle 216 00:12:54,520 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: that this Board of Peace, you know, insofar as the terms, conditions, 217 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: the how things unfold in Gaza in the aftermath of 218 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: the ceasefire, so you're going to have to have something 219 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: there to provide this strength to move forward with this 220 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: board of pieces proposals, and so far as Palestinian statehood, 221 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: there's no indication of how that could be accomplished. There's 222 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: a big looming question mark out there, because of course 223 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: we all know that's one of the big demands, most 224 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: notably the protesters out looting and ransacking various cities in 225 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: our country included. Trump warned that if mass did not 226 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: agree to the deal, Israel would have had the full 227 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: backing of the United States to unleash a world of hurt. 228 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: So there's that piece through strength that Trump's been harping on. 229 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: Oh he's evil, he'd get us in the middle of 230 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: all these wars and conflict. He sometimes you got to 231 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: flex your muscle. Donald Trump, well, basically gave free reign 232 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: to the Israelis to unleash a world of hurt. We're 233 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: no longer going to be holding back. I guess we're 234 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: going to give them arms. And you know it's going 235 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: to get worse than Gaza if you don't sign this deal. 236 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: You think that may have helped bring them us to 237 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: the table. Something suggests to me. Yeah, But in the 238 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: final analysis, this is a good thing. It's a positive thing. 239 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: No more bloody death and Gaza. Hopefully Jay's on the phone. 240 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: You I'll take your card just a minute, got to run. 241 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: It's five nineteen. This is fifty five KRC and iHeart 242 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: oh because Jay's on the line. Decided to hold over 243 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: the break. Welcome back, Jay, good to hear from you 244 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: this morning. 245 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Brian, Hey, welcome to Day nine of freedom. 246 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 2: I did the math. I did the math, and it's 247 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,239 Speaker 2: we are now up to forty eight billion dollars of savings, 248 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: which is, to put that into context, that is twenty 249 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: percent of the total DOGE savings. I think DOGE is 250 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: up to two hundred billion. And in nine short days 251 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: of having twenty percent of the government shut down, we're 252 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: up to forty billions, and which is fantastic. But what 253 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: kills me as I listened to Americans for Prosperity and 254 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: I love those guys, and listen to your segment earlier 255 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: this morning here that they're Republicans and the Conservatives are 256 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: freaking out where we got We have Americans for Prosperity 257 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: and Senator Lankford trying to pass Stop Government shut Down Act. Yeah, 258 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: how about we start bonusing them? How about we go 259 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: the other way, we start like million dollar bonuses for everybody. 260 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: We we know everybody and works in Washington, DC as 261 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: a politician is just a horror. 262 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: They pay them extra to fulfill a core function of 263 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: their job, which is the past twelve appropriations bills annually. 264 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's get that done. When they can shut 265 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: government down. 266 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: We're paying young people to not commit crimes. That's a 267 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: theory launched by the left. 268 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, they're just a bunch of horrors of 269 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: money talks, and just like corporate bonuses. If they can 270 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: shut the government down for fifty percent of the year 271 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: and put in save that money for the American people 272 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: and they go home, let's give them millions of dollars 273 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 2: to do it. It's the only thing that's going to 274 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: drive the behavior is money. And but for crying out loud, Republicans, 275 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 2: quit acting like it's a crisis. When the government is 276 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: shut down, what they should be doing is sitting down 277 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: keeping their mouths shut, instead of trying to tell government. 278 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: To tell President Trump, this sounds like something right out 279 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: of Central Committee. The Central Committee is trying to tell Trump, 280 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: you better be careful, don't cut the size and cost 281 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: of government. We don't want to take the advantage of 282 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: cutting the bloat. The first time we've had this opportunity. 283 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 3: In a lifetime. 284 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 4: You better not do that. 285 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: Because we'd rather we're we're more concerned about the optics 286 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: than about what the American people were paying for all 287 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: this crowd Republican Party. 288 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: The concern about the optics of who's going to be 289 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: blamed for the what will ultimately be temporary shutdown. So 290 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: you said, I get it. 291 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: They're more concerned about that than cutting the size of 292 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: government and saving us money as we're looking at a 293 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: thirty seven trillion dollar deficit. That's where their priorities are. 294 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: It is where they're focusing, Isn't that. 295 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: Isn't that a badge of honor? Jay? Yeah, okay, I'll 296 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: take the blavor and shut of the government down because 297 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: I got to accomplish what we were wanting to do 298 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: for blanket ever we reduced jo There you go. I 299 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: like that message. 300 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: That's what That's what I'm sharing. I want trying to 301 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: cheer this on, but I'm hearing American for Prosperity saying 302 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: we're behind this, Uh, you know, don't shut government down Act. 303 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 4: It's like, are you kidding? 304 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: Me. 305 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: Were any conservatives left out? 306 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: No, no, no. That that I think is a good thing. 307 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: It takes all of the wind out of the whole 308 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: concept of government shutdowns. There's no harm with the government shutdown. 309 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: Things remain kind of status quo. 310 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: This this contract, Yeah, we contain, we continue to fund 311 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 2: it at Biden's level. 312 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 4: That's the that's the a little bit. 313 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: There's no more hostage taking with this shutdown. 314 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 3: I'll take it. 315 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: Take the hostages, you know, I hear about I hear about, Well, 316 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: these poor people in the federal government. I mean, they 317 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: have some uncertainty with their job. Now, isn't that true 318 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: for all of us? 319 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: But the shutdown one. 320 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: Of us out here in the rural world, we could 321 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: be fired today and we'd have to go figure it out. 322 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: These people in the federal government are coddled adult children 323 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: who don't work that hard. Usually federal union employees figure 324 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: it out. 325 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 1: I'll concede that point.

We got a 339 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: particularly interesting and comical topic with Jay coming up an 340 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: eight thirty the mean time. Over the phones, Tom, thanks 341 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: for calling this morning as always. Welcome back. 342 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, good morning, and uh yeah love listening to Jay's 343 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 3: phone call. Yeah, he needs he needs to be a 344 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: little more passionate though, I mean, I know you can't. 345 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 3: You can't really tell how he feels about that. I 346 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 3: appreciate Jay, keep up the good word, buddy. 347 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. 348 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 3: I'm looking at these two different stories. You got the 349 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: government shut down and then you got the craft going 350 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 3: on in the Middle East, and they have some similarities 351 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 3: and some distinct differences. Obviously, you got two sides lobbing 352 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 3: stuff at each other. And over in the Middle East 353 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 3: actual literally people are dying. 354 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: Literally, I mean people are. 355 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 3: Getting killed literally, and over here you got the Democrats 356 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: saying people are going to die. So that's a bit 357 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 3: of a difference. But there's still things going back and 358 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: forth and all that, and we want it we I mean, 359 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 3: we generally want both of them to stop. And so 360 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: it's good thing that the fighting at least the fighting 361 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: is sot to stop. So if the if you know, 362 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 3: in over in the Middle East, if if nobody's firing 363 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: and bullets at each other, that's a good thing. We 364 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: we applaud that. Yes, thank you very much everyone involved 365 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: in that. But just like what the government shut down, 366 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: though even when the government gets back together, it is 367 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 3: fully functioning again, what's really changed, What what's really gonna 368 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: be different? And I think that's the part that that 369 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 3: people get scared about and causes them to make a 370 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: decision to do something they didn't want to do because 371 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 3: they know if they don't like you brought up Trump's threat, Look, 372 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 3: you guys are gonna accept this plan. We're just gonna 373 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 3: start giving Israel more more weapons and they're just gonna 374 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 3: demolish it and and so maybe that's what moved them 375 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 3: the masta finally go okay, okay, all right, all right, 376 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 3: let's talk let's talk serious here, and something like that 377 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 3: is probably going to make the left, the Democrats go, 378 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 3: you know what, Okay, enough's enough, because this is actually 379 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: now we're to the point where it's gonna hurt. I 380 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: don't know what that is. Because right now, if the 381 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: government were to go back to get and start functioning, 382 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: a lot of these people, if not most of them, 383 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 3: are gonna get back pay. And so you know, Jay's 384 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 3: got figures that he's keep a track of how much 385 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: of those figures will still be in place once everybody 386 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: gets their back pay. I don't know if how much 387 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: of a savings it'll be we actually paid people. We're 388 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: gonna pay people to not do anything. But seems to 389 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: be like a government way of the handling thing, not 390 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: just Democrats but Republicans. Do you know, like here, here's 391 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 3: some money to go do nothing? Like what what what 392 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: are we talking about here? I don't understand. This doesn't 393 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: make any sense. I know that's not true in my 394 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 3: world and for for most of us who are out 395 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 3: there going to work every day. If I don't do anything. 396 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: I don't function and produce something. At least show up 397 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: for work and be there and try. I'm not getting paid. Well, 398 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 3: I think that's a great incentive for people to have. 399 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 3: We should make sure that that's always there so that 400 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: keeps people motivated. It'd be nice if people were self motivated, 401 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: but they're not. I mean, we just just be honest. 402 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 3: It takes something to drive us to do things. That's 403 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: that's how we are. So that's okay. 404 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: The paper, Well, we. 405 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: Gotta have adults. We gotta have adults. Keep that there. 406 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 3: You gotta have parents to teach the children. There's consequences. Oh, 407 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: here's some good things you'll get if you do this. 408 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 3: You got to hold them to it. People got to 409 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: be held accountable, period. It's it's the only way to 410 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: do it. And there's too many people who don't want 411 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: to be held accountable. They want whatever they want, They 412 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 3: want it for nothing. They want their way and they're 413 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: going to stump their feet and thrash on the floor 414 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 3: until they get it like a five year old. That's said, 415 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 3: and that's on both sides of the aisle. Don't vote Rhino, 416 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 3: don't vote Democrat. Have a great game, Brian. 417 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, I appreciate your through talk station and a 418 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: very happy Friday Eve. Stack is stupid calls are welcome, 419 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: but in the absence there, oh, we can dive into 420 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: the stack of stupid. It's been a while since we've 421 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: really gotten through a stack of stupid, but I ferk 422 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: phone calls anyway. Five fifty two three talk. Let's start 423 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: with a typical Friday story showing up on Friday Eve, 424 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: Florida well being booked. While being booked into a Florida 425 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: lock up on drug and trespassing charges, man named Walter 426 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: Freimeyer had to go through the X ray machine the 427 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: jailers used to well prevent attempts to smuggle contraband into 428 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: the jail. Fifty one year old Fremeyer not found to 429 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: established weapons or narcotics on his person, but they say, 430 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: according to the Smoking Gun Funny website, he was still 431 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: packing and there's an X ray image. I guess it 432 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: was from him during the going through the X ray machine. 433 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: As senior the adjacent image when Fremeer went through the 434 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: body scammer corrections, workers spotted what they described as a 435 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: full size thermos inside the detainee's body. You hit the 436 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: nail on the head there, Joseph, I love the commentary 437 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 1: from the smoking gun. Sadly, police records did not include 438 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: the manufacturer or dimensions of the thermos, which entered Fremeyer's 439 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: body a day earlier. What Via, according to the pol 440 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: County Sheriff Grady Judd, quote the exit ramp close quote phrasing. Farmar, 441 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: described as having a lengthy criminal record, busted Saturday evening 442 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: by for trespassing on an Amtrak property in winter Haven. 443 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: Frisk turned to a glass pipe with burned residue consisting 444 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: of methan fhetamine it.

What they 449 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: reminded him was illegal to make such a thread. He 450 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: then said, good, I'm going to kill you, so charge 451 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: meaning charge. Fri Meyer locked up in lieu of a 452 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars bona two felony and two misdemeanor counts. 453 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: The thermos was removed from fremeer's ractum at a local hospital, 454 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: although he has not been charged with trying to smuggle 455 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: prohibited items into the jail. Is there reminded that South 456 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: Park episode Joe a couple of them. Ye okay, now 457 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: you draw your own conclusions on this. Does bad taste 458 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: allow people to allow police to prosecute you? We go 459 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: to Kentucky, Stanton, Kentucky, particularly where a guy's facing charges 460 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: over his Halloween decorations. Stanton, just outside of Lexington, where 461 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: they say please say. Fifty year old Stephen Markham displayed 462 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: fake hanging body bags that were labeled quote district judge 463 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: close quote and another one labeled simply mayor some had 464 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: ropes around the next Markham charged with intimidation and terroristic threatening. 465 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: I got a kick out of this. His arraignment postponed 466 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: after the judge recused himself, and I wonder who the 467 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: district judge was that he was depicting in his front 468 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: yard anyway. According to Eddie Barnes, Powell County Judge, execative, 469 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: if you're going to express yourself, don't do it in 470 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: a way that could be harmful to others or threatening 471 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: to others seeing by seeing those hanging up and the 472 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: representatives marked on them. It's somewhat alarming, but is it 473 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: ticket worthy. I'm not saying this is done in good taste. 474 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: But Markham, apparently in dispute with the city over some 475 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: zoning violations, found to hook up legal utilities, creating what 476 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: the city called potential fire hasards, sanitations, and health risk 477 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: at his property, and last month a judge find him 478 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty bucks and gave him thirty days 479 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: to comply. Shortly after that is when he put up 480 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: the threatening Halloween decorations. I think, while it is in 481 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: bad taste, I wouldn't recommend anyone doing something like that. 482 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: I think it's protected. And I made all this swirling 483 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: anger against political parties back and forth again going back 484 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: to while it is a bad idea, there may be repercussions. 485 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: People might judge him based upon the content of his 486 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: speech and draw conclusions about the content of his character 487 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: because of what he did. He may suffer as a 488 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: consequence of what he did. The public at large may 489 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: reject him. But I don't think what he did is criminal. 490 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: Five forty five fifty five KR see the talk station 491 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carey Fireplace KRC the talk station five fifty fifty 492 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: five kr CD talk station.

Yes, sir, he 500 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 6: was mentioning that a lot of important court cases have 501 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 6: been removed from the Clerk of Court's. 502 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: Website, specifically felony murder cases, not all of them, just 503 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: some of them, leading him to question how some got 504 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: removed from the docket, therefore not available for folks like 505 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: you and I to see, but some didn't. So he's 506 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: still investigating that. He's issued some directives to find out 507 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: and uncover the reasons behind that. 508 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 6: Yes, well, I performed my own independent investigation yesterday. I 509 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 6: went down to the courthouse and I sat in on 510 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 6: three cases, and none of the cases were listed in 511 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 6: the court index newspaper. And let me explain what the 512 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 6: court Index newspaper is to your listeners, that is a 513 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 6: newspaper that gets printed daily down there that has all 514 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 6: of the activities, all of the cases that are being 515 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 6: heard in the courthouse, and there were some pretty interesting cases. 516 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 6: I would like to follow up on the cases at 517 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 6: some point and find out what the resolutions to these 518 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 6: cases are. The one case, Judge Peck had a failure 519 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 6: to stop after an accident and the defendant was found 520 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 6: not guilty in that case. Judge laid dank Locker had 521 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 6: a case where a pizza delivery driver was involved in 522 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 6: a fatal car accident. There were eight lawyers in the 523 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 6: room for that case. They are seeking a fairly high settlement. 524 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 6: Judge Virginia Talent, who happened to be the former assistant 525 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 6: city manager, was charging the jury in a felonious assault case. Now, 526 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 6: if there are any members of the media who are 527 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 6: listening to this this morning, they may want to start 528 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 6: covering the courthouse because there's a lot of interesting cases 529 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 6: that are occurring. 530 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, down at the courthouse. 531 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: That was the judge's point. There are some really interesting 532 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: cases the public might want to know about. But how 533 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: would the media know about it if it's not in 534 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: the court docket. That's the boiled down point. I'm with you. 535 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: I'd like to know, But you know what, he just 536 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: revealed a story that mainstream media should or local media 537 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: should be reporting on. How in the hell is it 538 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: that cases are not listed on the docket, which is 539 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: the public record we're entitled to have. Let's start there 540 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: and then maybe we'll get some reporting on the actual 541 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: underlying cases themselves. Carl, appreciate it, Thanks for the call, 542 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: Becker of the stack is stupid. Apparently, minutes after vandalizing 543 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: seventeen cars in Missouri college parking lot, a nineteen year 544 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: old sophomore engaged in what they describe as a lengthy 545 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: chat GPT conversation during which he had confessed to the 546 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: crime and asked about the possibility of getting caught and wondered, quote, 547 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: is there any way they could know it was me? 548 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: He asked out of chat GPT. This according to the 549 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: probable cause statement issue by the police. The guy, Ryan Schaeffer, arrested, 550 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: charged with felony property damage and for a rampage Sunday 551 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: at the Missouri State University parking lot. They led Schaeffer 552 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: shattered car windows, ripped off side meares Dennenhoods broke windshields 553 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: all around three am. When confronted with surveillance footage, Yeah yeah, 554 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: they have that as well as other evidence, Shaffer said 555 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: that he could see the resemblance between the suspect and himself. 556 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: Will thank you, And at that point Schaeffer reportedly consented 557 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: to a search of his phone. That review of the 558 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: device revealed the location data putting him at or near 559 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: this scene of the crime, as well as quote troubling 560 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: dialogue exchanged. This defendant seems to have had with artificial 561 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: intelligence software installed on the phone. Idiots doing idiot things 562 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: because they're idiots, aymen, brother. The chat gept conversation filled 563 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: with typos they acknowledge open with Schaeffer asking howfforded am 564 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: I separately asking will I go to jail? He actually 565 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: spelled a quill I go to jail without the you, 566 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: but will I think is what he intended and after 567 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: the AI program quote gave tips about the potential outcome 568 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: of getting caught or being involved in this kind of behavior. 569 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: Shaffer type quote what if I smashed the S word 570 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: out of multiple cars? This is of course all on 571 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: his cell phone that he gave to police cops, says Shaeffer, 572 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: began to become aggressive towards chat GP thing, saying I 573 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: will kill all u f orders. Upon return to the 574 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: Springfield apartment, Shaffer began to quote wind down a bit, 575 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: declaring I got away with it last year, and I 576 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: don't think there's any way they could know my face, 577 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: adding it felt really nice to f their s word up. 578 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: This guy should have been a playwright. His eloquence with 579 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: the English language and grammatical accuracy is just really mind numbing, 580 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: acknowledging that he warded up all those useless f warders cars, 581 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 1: writing also that the victims all deserve to get raped 582 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: and murdered. Class act. You dumbass, thank you bus out 583 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: of nowhere, Joe. I appreciate that when fivety six efty 584 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: five cares to the talk station Plenty to talk about 585 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: the six o'clock hour, calls are welcome. Then we get 586 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: the Congress from Ward David sid at seven oh five, 587 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: followed by Senator Ran Paul at seven thirty. I'm sure 588 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: who we can stick around for that Today's tough headlines 589 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: got you're involved in all sides, rather of the Ledger 590 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: that were involved all the countries that help with negotiations 591 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: Amas Israel, all specifically mentioning and giving credit to Donald Trump, 592 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: as much as that really angers the left, and I'm 593 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: sure they are pulling their hair out success for Donald 594 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: Trump in so far as the Middle East piece is concerned, 595 00:33:54,120 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: continuing a tradition see the Abraham Accords. You know, I 596 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: don't put much value on a Nobel Peace Prize anymore, 597 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: considering Barack Obama got one for doing literally nothing, and 598 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's not the only one. But can you 599 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: imagine how angry the Nobel Peace Prize committee would be 600 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: to have to consider even consider Donald Trump as worthy 601 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: as he might be for that. Anyway, two years of 602 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: war in Gazam may very well be coming to a halt. 603 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: We're going to find out. And you know, I, recognizing 604 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: who the parties in this agreement are, Hamas terrorist organization 605 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: in Israel, I can certainly envision this thing falling apart. 606 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: But a huge positive step in the right direction yesterday 607 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: with the announcement of well both sides signing off on 608 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: phase one of this peace plans. Critical to that and 609 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: I didn't mention in the last hour, but I got 610 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: to get this in here. Because where the Palestinians were 611 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: going to go? Where are the residents of Gaza going 612 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: to go? They're all starving, They're in a war zone. 613 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to open their borders. No one wanted the 614 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: flood of refugees coming in. But apparently the crossing at 615 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: Rafa Rafa crossing with Egypt will be open for the 616 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: purpose of facilitating aid deliveries and allowing for the entry 617 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: and exit of Palestinians. So that pretty significant hurdle right there, 618 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: I think probably helped a long way to get this 619 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: UH Phase one process going Phase two. Question mark Phase 620 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: three is profit though? Right? Joe five one, three, seven, four, 621 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to 622 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones 623 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: real quick here. We want to let you know Congressman 624 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: Warren Davidson's coming up at seven oh five talk about 625 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: the government shutdown. Yes, they voted again to keep the 626 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: government shut down. Thank you Democrats in the Senate. Peace 627 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: in Israel. We'll talk about Congress with that with Congressman Davidson, 628 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: followed by Senator Ran Paul on the shutdown, the spying 629 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: going on in the Senate, talked about that yesterday with 630 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: Judge Ednapolitano, as well as peace in Israel with Senator 631 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: Ran Paul. At seven thirty, Hunter Oswald he's runing Power 632 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: You Seminar. He's going to be talking about the future 633 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: of jen Z servatism at class I believe take place 634 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: to ninth. That's tonight at the Empower You Seminars showroom. 635 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: There are studios there a three hundred Great Oaks Drive 636 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: in the Great Oaks campus or stream it online. It 637 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: should be a really good conversation with Hunter. We'll learn 638 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: about that at eight oh five, and of course Thursdays. 639 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: Last Friday, Eve I Heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. 640 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 1: Some of that else talked about with Judgennen of Poltano 641 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: and Congressman Thomas Massey. If I think we did talk 642 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: about with MASSI the subject has come up before, and 643 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: it's the subject that I agree completely with Napolitano about 644 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: this whole eminent threat thing about blowing up boats in 645 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: the Caribbean, thousands of miles away from the US border. 646 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: We have the authority to launch in wage war indiscriminately, 647 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: I would argue, the answer apparently is yes, at least 648 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: as far as the Senate was concerned, yesterday they shot 649 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: down a measure that would have required President Trump to 650 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: seek Congressional approval before authorizing military action in the Caribbean. 651 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: I would argue, as well as elsewhere. See your United 652 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: States Constitution forty eight in favor fifty one against obviously 653 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: party lines, with Lisa Murkowski and yes, Senator Ran Paul 654 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: voting with the Democrats in favor of the measure. Fetterman, 655 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: Democrat from Pennsylvania. He just sided with the Republicans, which 656 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 1: he's been doing a lot of late. Senator Ted Cruz 657 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: didn't vote, took a pass on it. So we've been 658 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: launching the tax on boats. Have been four of them 659 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: so far. You've seen the video footage, I presume of it. 660 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: Out of nowhere, rocket blows a boat up. They're all dead. 661 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: And Donald Trump goes on television and the screen and 662 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: just praises the idea that our military blew people up 663 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: and claiming why he did designate them as a terrorist organization. 664 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: It's not an imminent threat under any circumstance, I would 665 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: argue anyway. The White House described the strikes as part 666 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 1: of its campaign against these Latin American groups for smuggling 667 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: fentanyl and cocaine to the US, which of course is deadly. 668 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: They designated the drug cartels and other groups as foreign 669 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: terrorist organizations and claiming that by labeling them as such, 670 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: they can use lethal force. Now take it out of 671 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: the context of the United States government and put in 672 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: the context to some other government. They label us a 673 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: terrorist organization and justify military force against the United States 674 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: of America or at least some of its people, the 675 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: ones that they identified. That's a dangerous road to go down, 676 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: particularly given modern military technology, which is readily available to 677 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: anybody who has an Amazon account. Anyway, the measure was 678 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: introduced by a couple of Democrats. Anyway, They cited the 679 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three War Powers Resolution that requires presidents to 680 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 1: obtain congressional authorization for hostilities abroad. Now, I would argue 681 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: that the War Powers Resolution itself is unconstitutional. If you're 682 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: going to wage war, you must declare war. There's no 683 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: authorizations for use of military force packed in our constitution. 684 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: That's sort of a now overlooked over the years. But 685 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, I tend to be a literalist and a 686 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: traditionalist when it comes to my views of the Constitution anyway, 687 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 1: there is the War Powers Resolution Act. It does require 688 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 1: presidents to obtain congressional authorization. That's the point I made yesterday. 689 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: At least go to Congress and get an authorization for 690 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: you some military force, because it legitimizes that. It doesn't 691 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: appear as if you're going it alone. You've got this 692 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: support of elected officials, which represent the will of the 693 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: American people. Seems like a reasonable step to go through anyway. 694 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: This shot down proposal in the Senate would have barred 695 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,919 Speaker 1: the United States forces from engaging in combat against non 696 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: state actors like drug smugglers unless formally approved by Congress. 697 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: Republicans in the debate yesterday said the measure would limit 698 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: the president's authority as commander of chief, wouldn't allow him 699 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: to take swift action if America was attacked by a 700 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: foreign enemy. I'm throwing a giant Barbara streisand flag on that. 701 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 1: He does have the power if we are under threat, 702 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: if someone is attacking us, the president does not have 703 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: to go to Congress and had a War Powers Resolution 704 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: authorization or a declaration of war. He's a commander in chief. 705 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: It requires immediate action. That's that concept of eminent threat. 706 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: What immediate threat do we face from the cartel boats 707 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: floating around two thousand or one thousand miles away from 708 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: US zero? Where is the boat going? I don't think 709 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: we really know. We can assume it's coming here. United 710 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: States is where the profits come from. But there's a 711 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: whole lot of islands and other opportunities for that boat 712 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: to pull over before they reach our international or our waters, 713 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: subject subjecting them to YES Coastguard law enforcement, and prosecution 714 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: in American court systems where they would not be eligible 715 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: for the death penalty, I might quickly interject. Democrats made 716 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: a point. The Constitution clearly and intentionally places the power 717 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: to declare war in the hands of this body Congress. Yeah, 718 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: you know, I hate to have to I agree with 719 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: shift on anything. But Senator Tom Cotton, Republican said, quote 720 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: the resolution prevents the president from taking offensive action, claiming 721 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 1: that Trump wouldn't be able to act quickly to protect 722 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: the US allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia. Is 723 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: that what this is about? Act quickly to protect Israel 724 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: and Saudi Arabia. Now, I don't know how that came 725 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: up in conversation. I guess they were considering the scope 726 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: and breadth of how this, if passed, piece of legislation, 727 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: would impact the President. But I'm wondering about this defense 728 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: obligation with Israel and Saudi Arabia, neither of a while 729 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: both of whom are considered I guess, on some level 730 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: allies in the United States, what would prevent us from 731 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: engaging militarily in those regions? And do we really have 732 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: an obligation to do that. More fundamentally, would an attack 733 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: on Israel or Saudi Arabia represent an eminent threat to 734 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: the United States of America? And there are many who 735 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: would argue no, those countries are thousands and thousands of 736 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: miles away from US, even though we're friends with them. 737 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: It isn't an eminent attack on the United States of America. 738 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: And I honestly do not understand or know whether we 739 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: have a mandatory defense obligation likely do with NATO countries 740 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: for Israel in Saudi Arabia. I tend to think not. 741 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 5: So. 742 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: Senator Paul I'm sure we'll chi chime in on this 743 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: since he's one of the ones that voted know on it, 744 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: But he is, like Congressman Thomas Massey, a believer in 745 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: what the language of the Constitution says, and go back 746 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: to the fact that Donald Trump's not going to be 747 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: president forever. You've got to find that amount of time. 748 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: Will a Democrat ever get elected again? Will someone that 749 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: you disagree with get elected again? Will someone you disagree 750 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: with enter office with amazing and seemingly unlimited powers of 751 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: launching and waging war down the road, you may feel 752 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: differently about it.

Welcome back, sir. 760 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: It's good to hear from you. 761 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 7: Good morning, Brian. I just would like to comment on 762 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 7: the President doing his preemptive actions with these drug boats. 763 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 7: I can see his points. I think a lot of 764 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 7: what's going on here is pretty much gorilla warfare with 765 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 7: a non shooting war We're looking at one hundred thousand 766 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 7: citizens being killed by the drugs every year. So it 767 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 7: may not be an imminent threat these boats, but it 768 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 7: will result in many, many deaths. If they'd make it 769 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 7: to the United States. 770 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: It would and deliver their Well was that boat? Was 771 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: that boat headed to the United States? Or there's four boats? 772 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: Were they headed to the United States? 773 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 7: I think ultimately the drugs are going to make it. 774 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 5: To the United States. You think where another They. 775 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 7: May be going to the Bahamas. 776 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 1: And but you don't know. 777 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't know for sure. 778 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: There you go. That's the point. And no, that's the point. 779 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is at gerrilla warfare though well. 780 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: No, I mean, you know, you can call it what 781 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: you want. You can call them narco terrorists, you can 782 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: call them, I don't know, people trying to make a 783 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: living whatever. They're a thousand miles away from us. This 784 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: is not something we should be able to just go 785 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: ahead and unilaterally decide to blow up. We don't know 786 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 1: where those people were going. And what if they got 787 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: it wrong. What if the boxes that are on that 788 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: boat were just like food supplies and they were headed 789 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 1: to some island nation of delivered aid or something whoops, Sorry, 790 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,479 Speaker 1: I mean that's what the whole concept to do process about. 791 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: That's why we have a coastguard. If they get near 792 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: our waters and have drugs in the boat, it's illegal 793 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: to be ferrying narcotics in US waters. Arrest them for that, 794 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: lock them up, and throw away the key. I don't 795 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: even problem with being harsh on drug dealers. They're not 796 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: subjected to the death penalty in the United States of America. 797 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: And I hate the idea of governments being able to 798 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: unilaterally decide who gets to live and who doesn't, because 799 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: there but for the grace of God go I. 800 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 7: Absolutely well, I understand. And so that's what debate's all about. 801 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 7: Amens as always, don't vote Democrat or Rhino. 802 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: Wonderful, thanks al See, that's the idea of the exchange. 803 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to agree with me. I don't want 804 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: to defend drug dealers. I hate them. But every time 805 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,439 Speaker 1: we talk about drug dealers, I want to turn back 806 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: and say, who's creating the demand? You are? Drugs are 807 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: bad for you. They will kill you, They'll ruin your life. 808 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,720 Speaker 1: They'll turn you against family members, They'll turn family members 809 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 1: against you. You'll end up homeless out on the street. 810 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: You'll die a painful death. Look at the faces of myth. 811 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: You're guaranteed to look like one of those images in 812 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: about a couple of years. Maybe if you're continuing to 813 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: use math, it will kill you. Isn't that enough of 814 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: a deterrent. I'm not saying, you know, I used to 815 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: be let people do what they want. I'm against criminalization 816 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: of self abuse, but you know what, I kind of 817 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: turned around the corner on that a little while back, 818 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,959 Speaker 1: because this self abuse ends up rippling over and impacting 819 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: you and me. We end up paying the price. Homeless 820 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: encampments filled with just chronic drug abusers, defecating everywhere, throwing 821 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: garbage around. They don't care about keeping their space clean 822 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: and free to be and nice looking. It detracts from 823 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: property values. It ruins cities that closes business, It increases crime. 824 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: The ripple effect is the problem. If this boiled down 825 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: to someone abusing themselves and then dying in a corner 826 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,359 Speaker 1: on their own, yes we can have some sympathy for them. 827 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: Yes we can hopefully can find some resources they can 828 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,839 Speaker 1: get into rehab. But because you and I end up 829 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: shouldering the burden for all the downside that goes along 830 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 1: with just letting people do whatever the hell they want. No, 831 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm kind of against the concept anymore. But this is 832 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 1: bigger than that. This is activity that could end up 833 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 1: getting us into a literal shooting war. I know. Venezuela 834 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: doesn't pose any existential threat to America. Their military couldn't 835 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,800 Speaker 1: last five minutes against the American military. We would bomb 836 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: the living crap out of them if they declare war 837 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: on us, because we're declaring war on their people. They 838 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: want to go down that road knock themselves out, But 839 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,439 Speaker 1: that's the risk you run. Do you want to jeopardize 840 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 1: your son or daughter serving the American military because some 841 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 1: president at some future point in time decides he's going 842 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: to unilaterally drop a bomb on a country that I 843 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: don't know, may very well too, if not unilaterally, with 844 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: the help of their supporters, engage in a coordinated effort 845 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: to go back after us because of something we did. Militarily. 846 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: Venezuela is CosIng up with the Russians. Venezuela is coosing 847 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,320 Speaker 1: up with the Chinese indirectly. China's coosing up of the 848 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: Russians and all other quote unquote adversaries in the world. 849 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: What if they joined forces and said, you know what, 850 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: we're not going to stand for that kind of thing anymore. 851 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: Just a thought. That's why the use of military forces 852 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: should come after serious contemplation and approval of at least 853 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 1: so some of our elected officials in Congress by way 854 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: of a seventy three War Powers Act Authorization for use 855 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: of Military Force, despite how I feel about that particular Act. 856 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: Six twenty six to fifty five ker CD talk station 857 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: Peter Sherik caller Williams seven Hills Outstand talk station at 858 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 1: six thirty Here fifty five kr CD talk station Friday 859 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 1: Eve time for some local stories, although you can still 860 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: feel free to call.

First come, 876 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: first served, as far as seating is concerned. Debate moderated 877 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: by Enquire Opinion and Engagement Editor Kevin Aldridge. The questions 878 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: will be asked by panelists Karl Weisser and Enquire Politics 879 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 1: editor rather Charles mc claire excuse me, Claire Claire McKinney, 880 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: and Xavier Newswire editor in chief. So there's your panelists, 881 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 1: and you know who the people answering the questions are. 882 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: So here's the rules. No backpacks, purses, bags larger than 883 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: six inch clutch style will be permitted.

Different story. 888 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 1: I suspect no political flyers, campaign materials, or other signage 889 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: may be distributed or displayed outside. See the next sentence 890 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: answered my question. I was wrong on my presumption on that. 891 00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 1: So you can't display anything outside Cintas Center or on 892 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 1: Xavier University property. Hmm. My constitutional free speech brain is 893 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: trying to contemplate that debate rules emphasizing mutual respect for 894 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: the candidates and the moderator. We'll wait and see how 895 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: that unfolds. Now, how to watch it? You have several options. 896 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: You can live stream at the Enquirer website, Cincinnati dot 897 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: com or City Cable website. I guess they have a 898 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: link there on the Enquirer's reporting against Cincinnati for the details. 899 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: Local twelve is also going to simulcast it, but we 900 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 1: believe Joe and I believe since it's not currently on 901 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 1: the live television schedule that that's probably the Local twelve 902 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: website will be streaming it, which is Local twelve dot com. 903 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: So check out the debate tonight one hour time and 904 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: I wish Corey Bowman all the best I got to 905 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: see him last night at the Smithaman fundraiser. He made 906 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: a brief appearance because he had to head off to 907 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 1: do debate prep. So he is prepping for it. Okay, 908 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,800 Speaker 1: you can saygabye, who THHC gummies and drinks? Mike Dewines 909 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: imposed a ninety day ban on what they describe as 910 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 1: intoxicating hemp, including THC infused gummies and beverages. Decision after 911 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: months of waiting around for lawmakers to impose their own restrictions. 912 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: So he went and went it alone. Executive order bands 913 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: of sales consumer products containing intoxicating hemp, including THHC infuse 914 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: beverages and gummies. Now my understanding of intoxicating hemp. Hemp's legal. 915 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,800 Speaker 1: It's got like point three percent or or outher point 916 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: zero three percent of THC in it. It's some really 917 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: low amount. Well, they figured a way to concentrate that 918 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 1: and turning into a concentrated amount, so it's not under 919 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 1: the current law, it's sort of outside of it. So this, 920 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: I guess, is going to deal with that. We go 921 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 1: back to twenty eighteen. The Farm Bill legalized ham nationwide 922 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,839 Speaker 1: as long as it has no more than point three 923 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: percent of delta nine THHC, which is what produces the high. 924 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 1: So we are allowed to have industrial hemp in CB 925 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: and have CBD oil which is derived from this hemp. 926 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: CBD oil and CBD products are not subject to this ban. 927 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: And I think the way it worked and someone smarter 928 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: than me, I kind of drew a parallel to the 929 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: poppy plant. You know, from poppies, you got opium. From opium, 930 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,880 Speaker 1: you got morphine from morphine, you got heroin. You know 931 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,360 Speaker 1: you need a bigger high. So I think they boil 932 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: down that. What's the minimal amount of that DHC you 933 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 1: can find in them, concentrate that, and whila you have 934 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,439 Speaker 1: intixicating hemp, which is different than apparently THC hemp from 935 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 1: regular marijuana plants with a higher concentration. Bottom line, as 936 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: we have you this, they're continuing to work it out 937 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio six thirty five, and 938 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: apparently a lot of people are getting high and crashing cars. 939 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: Is a new study out finding that more than forty 940 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: percent of drivers who died in car accidents over the 941 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 1: past six years had elevated risks of well thh elevated 942 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: levels of THHC in their blood right it gets you high, 943 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: it impairs you. You're more likely to wreck. Not rocket 944 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: science folks. Six thirty six fifty five k se de 945 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,919 Speaker 1: talk station. Uh, plumb type plumbing. It's always plumbing done right. 946 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: You are in wonderfully capable hands. When it comes to 947 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 1: forty year fifty five car se detalk station five three 948 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 1: seven eight hundred and eighty two to three talk five 949 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,839 Speaker 1: five fifty on H and T phone after the top 950 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: of the air news Congressman Warren Davidson, Oh, Joe Strucker 951 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 1: had a brilliant idea. I want to elaborate on it 952 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: for tonight's Bowman Purvole debate a drinking game. So every 953 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: time someone says the word it was Trump, correct a 954 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 1: shot when Trump's name or the maga word, that's one shot. Now, 955 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,399 Speaker 1: Joe did not specify what type of beverages Joe's gonna 956 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 1: go with Shlivovitz. You may choose something that's a little 957 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:32,800 Speaker 1: milder in terms of alcohol content. Now, if anyone says 958 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,720 Speaker 1: the word he utters jd Vance's name, or says jd 959 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 1: Vance's half brother or brother or words to that effect, 960 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: that is a chug moment. So whatever's left in your glass, 961 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 1: you must consume completely. Is there a requirement for the 962 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: size of glass we're talking about, Joe, your discretion? All right, Well, 963 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 1: shot glass would be no different than I mean, under 964 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 1: the rules of the game, chugging or taking a shot 965 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: will be the same. So I reckon at least a 966 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: six sounds class that would be drunk by eight ten. Well, 967 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: I rarely stay awake after eight o'clock since I get 968 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 1: up at two thirty, Joe, so I'm not quite sure 969 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,879 Speaker 1: I could make it. But if I did watch through 970 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 1: the whole debate, I would probably be a physical wreck 971 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. Anyway, if you've got other rules of the game, 972 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,240 Speaker 1: feel free to chime in give me a call without 973 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 1: further ado, though, I found this to be extraordinarily troubling, 974 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,800 Speaker 1: related to really not much of anything we're talking about, 975 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,360 Speaker 1: unless you want to consider the concept that Donald Trump 976 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 1: has labeled Antifah antifa. If you prefer a domestic terrorist organization, 977 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: going back to my conversation earlier, if you label someone 978 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 1: in a domestic terrorist organization, that's domestic. If you're able 979 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,400 Speaker 1: to an international terrorist organization, you can blow them up 980 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 1: anywhere in the four corners of the world. Now you're 981 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: going to be blowing up Antifa folks here in the 982 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 1: United States. What is the prerequisite for use of deadly force? 983 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 1: If you're on American soil and you're a citizen, you 984 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,359 Speaker 1: have to have eminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm or death, 985 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 1: and it must be reasonable. I thought I was going 986 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: to die. This guy's lunging at it from me with 987 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: a deadly weapon. You can shoot them. Now. If Antifa 988 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 1: is not engaged in eminent apprehension of bodily harm, they're 989 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: just throwing molotov cocktails. That's a crime. If it's organized. 990 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 1: It could be a reco charge if they're organizing amongst themselves, 991 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: and go after them and throw them in federal prisons 992 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 1: for a very long time. But you couldn't kill them. 993 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the outrage if your favorite group was protesting. 994 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,320 Speaker 1: Maybe they got a little out of control, maybe they 995 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: engaged in violent behavior, but they didn't threaten anybody's life 996 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: and the authorities responded with deadly force. Say, oh, I 997 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 1: don't know, Kent State University. Maybe that's not something we 998 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 1: embrace conceptually here in the United States. But this, in 999 00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 1: spite of that reality, is extraordinarily troubling. You might want 1000 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: to consider where you're sending your young people to college. 1001 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 1: City University of New York Graduate Center is offering a course. 1002 00:57:55,160 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 1: It's described as an English course. It's titled Global Antifa. 1003 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 1: Accord to Washington Times reporting, the required coursework includes completion of, 1004 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 1: in the words of the syllabus, research projects that contribute 1005 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: to the work of global movements fighting fascism. A director 1006 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 1: of an outfit called Defending Education, which is an organization 1007 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 1: fighting for to avoid indoctrination and classrooms, Ryan Staley I, 1008 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: said courses such as this have no place in American institutions. 1009 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 1: A higher education putting up in similar militant co research 1010 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: is actually showing up in k th K through twelve 1011 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: education as well. But the course offered by the City 1012 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 1: University apparently has learning goals that include familiarizing and again 1013 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: going back to the syllabus, students with contemporary theories of 1014 00:58:54,320 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 1: fascism and anti fascism. Pause on that contemporary theory of 1015 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: fascism and anti fascism. You know what that means. That 1016 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: means a rewarding the definition of what fascism is, because 1017 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: these idiots don't know what it is since they go 1018 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: around accusing Donald Trump but being a fascist. B Ah, yes, 1019 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 1: I set it out loud again anyway, familiarizing students with 1020 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: contemporary theorist of fascism and anti fashion, as well as 1021 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 1: related critical theories concerning racial capitalism, gender and sexuality, imperialism, 1022 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 1: et cetera. That's core to the report from Defending Education. 1023 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 1: Given the topic of the seminar to this class will 1024 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: explicitly interdisciplinary will also oriented is also oriented towards militant 1025 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: co research, and students will be encouraged to develop research 1026 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 1: projects that contribute to the work of global movements fighting fascism. 1027 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna pay for this course. I'm sure there's some 1028 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,439 Speaker 1: young militant that will say out loud, yes, I will. 1029 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 1: The course explore quote ways in which the realm of 1030 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 1: esthetics in general and more specifically particular domains such as 1031 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,440 Speaker 1: literature and visual culture relate to fascism and anti fashion fascism. 1032 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Discussions of various research methodologies with a focus on histories 1033 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 1: and examples of militant co research. Close quote. I have 1034 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 1: no idea what that is. Psychobabble. You love this? The 1035 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 1: professor teaching the class Global antifall got a PhD from 1036 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: Chlobing University works in the fields of ready environmental humanities 1037 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 1: and post colonial eco criticism. I swear they're making this 1038 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 1: stuff up as they go along. Postcolonial echo criticism. That's 1039 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 1: a field. That's a bunch of people sitting around a 1040 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 1: table in a drum circle, getting high and contemplating their 1041 01:00:55,600 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 1: nabels and making up stuff. Now, can Trump launch a 1042 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: drones strike into that classroom since they're anti file folks 1043 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 1: and they're engaging in domestic terrorism by preaching their anti 1044 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:15,479 Speaker 1: file like like theories and ideology. Part of me wants 1045 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 1: to say yeah, But practicularly speaking, the answer is no. 1046 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 1: Six forty seven right now, Mike, hang on, I'm gonna 1047 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: take your call.

Welcome to the program. 1055 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 4: Hi, Ryan, about your drinking game for tonight? 1056 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 3: Are in the debate? 1057 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 4: You get at ice a illegal alien to. 1058 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 1: That ol you know, and speaking of that, we did 1059 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 1: have some illegal alien problems here locally. Announcement of an 1060 01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 1: arrest of some organized criminals. Uh from gosh, where was 1061 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 1: it South America or something like that. I just saw 1062 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 1: that local story. Yeah, and if. 1063 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 4: They say illegally, then you gotta take a shot at 1064 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 4: Jose Corba. 1065 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Well, no, we can't paint with that kind of broad brush, Mike. 1066 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 1: Someone might think you're being racist because not all illegal 1067 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 1: immigrants come from areas that make tequila. Let's be firm 1068 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: on that game, and remember that you can qualify your 1069 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 1: comments along those lines. Don't you be painting with a 1070 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 1: broad brush or casting dispersions on my South American friends 1071 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 1: or Mexican friends. But tequila is the drink of course 1072 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: for the drink or the drink of choice for the 1073 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:40,880 Speaker 1: drinking game there in the interest of fairness, medello, then, Joe, 1074 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 1: does that make it better? Anybody? See the report on 1075 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: the guy that was arrested accusing of sparking the Palisades fire. 1076 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: One dude, twenty nine year old kid named Jonathan Rinderknick 1077 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 1: charged with destruction and property by means of fire. Mandatory 1078 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 1: minimum prison sentence five years if convicted. I you know, 1079 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 1: it's it's early in the reporting, and I'm going to 1080 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: acknowledge that up front, so I'm not going to draw conclusions, 1081 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 1: but i will say that the conspiracy theory flag sort 1082 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,360 Speaker 1: of waving in my head. How did they know where 1083 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 1: that fire started? They claimed they do know, and for 1084 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: such a long time they blamed it on the utility 1085 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,840 Speaker 1: companies fire to maintain and up keep the utility lines, 1086 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: and they sparked, and they dropped to the ground and 1087 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 1: they caused fires. And this particular case, they say they 1088 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: know it's an incendiary fire and that the subject was 1089 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: arrested started it. So what kind of evidentiary trail did 1090 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: they follow from the path where they say this guy 1091 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 1: had stopped his uber and got out and walked down 1092 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: the path to the fire starting, And how did they 1093 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: link him to it? I'm willing to just sort of 1094 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 1: assume that they got the right guy, and he was 1095 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: this apparently left wing nutcase. He has his own manifesto, 1096 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 1: I believe, as so many of these crazy people do, 1097 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 1: so at least he wasn't some crazy right winger providing 1098 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,560 Speaker 1: he left with a bunch of opportunities to say it's 1099 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 1: his evil right wingers. When we have one string or 1100 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 1: one crime after another and one horrific murder or active 1101 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: of violence after another that is well attributed to left 1102 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 1: wing nutcases, just food for thought. So keep your popcorn 1103 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 1: out on that one anyway. Uh, I'm sure to think 1104 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: it was anything else when we get oh real quick, 1105 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: that unrelated to anything. Uh. Doctor Marbres, a professor at 1106 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 1: the Hadasha Hebrew University Medical Center, lead author of a 1107 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: study saying, uh, you may end up with a significantly 1108 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: higher risk of mood disorders and suicidal thoughts and suicidal 1109 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:07,040 Speaker 1: ideation if you're using Propecia yep finesteride aka Propecia, the 1110 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 1: hair growing drug approved by the US Food and Drug 1111 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,280 Speaker 1: Administration back in the nineteen ninety. Studies now have linked 1112 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 1: this drug to long term brain inflammation and changes in 1113 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: the hippocampus. The Brain Center for Learning, Memory, and Emotions 1114 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,200 Speaker 1: FDA added depression as a potential side effect of this 1115 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 1: drug back in twenty eleven. Suicidal ideation and behavior added 1116 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. So this guy did some studies 1117 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 1: and finding out that, yeah, this comes with a significant risk, 1118 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: so you might want to factor that into the equation 1119 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 1: and just sort of let nature take his course. I 1120 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 1: suppose six fifty five at the five KCD talk station 1121 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 1: Warren Davidson after the top of the ur news and 1122 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,360 Speaker 1: then Senator Ran Paul at seven point thirty. I hope 1123 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: you can stick. 1124 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 8: Around today's tough headlines coming up the talk station. 1125 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 1: Seven oh five, the fifty five PARISD talk station, Happy Thursday, 1126 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 1: Slash Friday, Eve's looking forward to the return of irbdy 1127 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: aviation expert Jay Rally of eight thirty looking forward to 1128 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 1: talking about Senator Ran Paul at the bottom of this hour. 1129 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: And I am always excited and pleased to welcome with 1130 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 1: the fifty five KRSEY Morning Show, Congressman Warren Davidson, Welcome back, 1131 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: my friend.

Democrats are insisting that 1135 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:45,840 Speaker 1: we extend the COVID area era, basically premium supplements covering 1136 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 1: the American taxpayers covering the cost of the Obamacare premiums, 1137 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 1: which successfully expanded the program. They doubled the size of 1138 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 1: the Obamacare folks during COVID nineteen, but that was the 1139 01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 1: predicate for allowing these supplements. COVID nineteen. Oh my god, 1140 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,360 Speaker 1: We're all going to die. Businesses are shut down, people 1141 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 1: need relief. Let's give them free insurance, which isn't really free. Well, 1142 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: that period of time has gone he yet the Democrats 1143 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,120 Speaker 1: and an obvious effort to get everyone under one size 1144 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 1: fits all medically run government healthcare or government run medical care. 1145 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: They're fighting and that looks like they're going to die 1146 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,440 Speaker 1: on this hill? Or are they? Congressman Davidson, what's your 1147 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 1: assessment on this? I know you had some very strong 1148 01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:28,080 Speaker 1: words about the Continuing Resolution which kept the Biden era 1149 01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 1: funding levels to try to get this through. So where 1150 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 1: are we on this, Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean. 1151 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 8: That's basically it. Democrats could have chosen to just keep 1152 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 8: the funding level that they helped implement. I mean, this 1153 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 8: isn't like a partisan funding bill. This was the Republicans 1154 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 8: had the House, the Democrats had the Senate. Joe Biden 1155 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 8: was the president, and this is the same policy, same 1156 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 8: funding level, the pass at that we haven't passed a 1157 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 8: different funding bill. We've had lots of debates about it, 1158 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,120 Speaker 8: but that's the whole point is we could continue in 1159 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,520 Speaker 8: the debates and call the votes on other policy issues 1160 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 8: with a government that's open, or we could have this shutdown. 1161 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 8: And you know, Democrats decided that they were going to 1162 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 8: hold their votes and not supply the seven that you 1163 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:14,840 Speaker 8: need in the Senate. We hit pass it out of 1164 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 8: the House because we just need a majority, and a 1165 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,160 Speaker 8: majority of the Senate's passed it. You've got fifty six 1166 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 8: senators that say yeah, let's keep the government open, so 1167 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,600 Speaker 8: that's bipartisan, but you need four more Democrats frankly, to 1168 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 8: join and say let's keep it open. And realities, we 1169 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 8: know we need less government, we need a budget that balances. 1170 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 8: Democrats said, no, if you don't give us a one 1171 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 8: and a half train dollars that we can spend on 1172 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:40,360 Speaker 8: our priorities, which includes I'll care for illegals, includes you know, 1173 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,320 Speaker 8: COVID plucks ups for Obamacare, which what never worked in 1174 01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 8: the first place. It was failing in twenty twenty one, 1175 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,720 Speaker 8: and they used COVID as a pretext to flood it 1176 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:55,000 Speaker 8: with even more cash, and now it's expiring, and they're like, oh, well, 1177 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 8: maybe if we subsidy it more, it'll keep you know, 1178 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,240 Speaker 8: we'll reach this magic tipping point where somehow it'll be affordable. 1179 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 8: And it's like, no, you know, I'm almost timpted to say, 1180 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 8: you know what, you should triple them, because just to 1181 01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 8: prove the point, the subsidies aren't lowering the costs, not 1182 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 8: helping people get lower health insurance. Now it benefits to 1183 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 8: people who get the subsidy, for sure, but for the 1184 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 8: broader average consumer, it's raising the premiums and the quality 1185 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 8: of care. Since Obamacare hasn't done better. Health outcomes haven't 1186 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 8: done better since Obamacare was worked. So when are we 1187 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 8: going to finally concede that Obamacare didn't work? And Democrats 1188 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:35,720 Speaker 8: want to shut the government down over that and other 1189 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 8: priorities they've. 1190 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 1: Got, Yes they do. And you know it's funny because 1191 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,959 Speaker 1: the premiums going basically going directly to healthcare providers like hospitals. 1192 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the American people aren't seeing any of that. 1193 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 1: So it is it is continuing to support, but it's 1194 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: not they haven't gone away. I think that's a really 1195 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: critical point here. It's not it doesn't become free just 1196 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 1: because the government says, well, now it's free. They're not 1197 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 1: providing health care for nothing. The American taxpayer is covering 1198 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,680 Speaker 1: the nut of the premium. That's your one point five 1199 01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,879 Speaker 1: trillion dollars right there, basically, or maybe hundreds of millions 1200 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,479 Speaker 1: of dollars, billions of dollars anyway, Yeah. 1201 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 8: That portions hundreds of billions. They've got all kinds of 1202 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,839 Speaker 8: other stuff in there. They want to restore USAID funding, 1203 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 8: which we intentionally turned off. They want to restore our 1204 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 8: funding for NPR, which we intentionally told them to go 1205 01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 8: fund themselves. And you know, all these things they want 1206 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,680 Speaker 8: to relitigate that we've already had the votes on, and 1207 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,919 Speaker 8: they just want to use the government shutdown as extortion. 1208 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 8: So you know, I hope we put single things in there, 1209 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,799 Speaker 8: Like you know, right now, you know, we've got essential 1210 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 8: people working, and you know that begs the question why 1211 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,840 Speaker 8: do we have non essentially? But if you say, all right, well, 1212 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 8: these people are so important that they need to keep working, 1213 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 8: why isn't the payroll clerk that pays them so important 1214 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,680 Speaker 8: that the payroll clerk keeps working so we can put 1215 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 8: some line at them bills on there, so that it's like, Okay, 1216 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,639 Speaker 8: if you don't want to fund the government all the way, 1217 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 8: could we at least fund the payroll clerk so that 1218 01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:57,639 Speaker 8: our troops can get paid this month. 1219 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,680 Speaker 1: That's a good idea, Davidson. But now, what of the 1220 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 1: concern that I have that Republicans now seem to be 1221 01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,680 Speaker 1: maybe wavering a little bit headline Wall Street Journal, Republicans 1222 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:14,000 Speaker 1: cautioned White House on inflicting shut down pain, referring to 1223 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,799 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's comment earlier this week about the Officer Management 1224 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 1: and Budget compiling a list of folks that will be 1225 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,800 Speaker 1: fired or departments that will be permanently closed. He did 1226 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 1: suggest that was coming our way in a matter of 1227 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,680 Speaker 1: four or five days. Now we're down to maybe three 1228 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 1: or four days for that. But isn't that something that 1229 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,439 Speaker 1: we kind of want out of this shut down? An 1230 01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to reduce the size and scope of government, which 1231 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 1: some of these wavering Republicans are saying, well, wait a second, 1232 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 1: that'll give the Democrats a win in the who's responsible 1233 01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,439 Speaker 1: for this shutdown argument? Aha? See, the only pretext for 1234 01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:47,600 Speaker 1: this is Republicans want to cut out the government, and 1235 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, people are going to die or whatever, 1236 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 1: but I don't care. I would think you could wear 1237 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,679 Speaker 1: that as a badge of honor. Yes, I did shut 1238 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 1: the government down for the purposes of getting it smaller. 1239 01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,040 Speaker 1: We campaigned on doing exactly that. 1240 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 8: Well that's the thing. Look, I voted for the cr 1241 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,160 Speaker 8: so we could keep having this debate because frankly, I 1242 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:09,719 Speaker 8: want the outcome of a smaller government. So you know, okay, 1243 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 8: if we're going to have a revote, and I can 1244 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,639 Speaker 8: take credit for helping get Russ vote to power to 1245 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:19,080 Speaker 8: start aligning a budget with our priorities, well good, that's 1246 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,400 Speaker 8: exactly what we've been fighting to do. With the appropriations process, 1247 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 8: it's broken and so all you've really got left is 1248 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,519 Speaker 8: executive power. And you know, the administration put out a 1249 01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 8: budget earlier this year. I would be surprised if they 1250 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,000 Speaker 8: don't start doing basically what they said they believe the 1251 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,440 Speaker 8: budget should look like, and they send over, you know, ideas, 1252 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 8: and then Congress just well, yeah, but we can't do that, 1253 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,680 Speaker 8: and they never get around to doing it. So, you know, 1254 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,800 Speaker 8: Russ voted at office management and budgets got the task 1255 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 8: of saying, look, I have to follow the law. I 1256 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,680 Speaker 8: have to pay people that we're considering essential. You know, 1257 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 8: the prisons guards at the federal prisons, they're going to 1258 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 8: have to show up to work, keep the prisoners locked up. 1259 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 8: The FAA is going to have to work and keep 1260 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 8: the planes in the air, et cetera. But there are 1261 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 8: agencies that they said, for example, we don't think we 1262 01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 8: need as many IRS agents. So they're talking about for 1263 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,759 Speaker 8: a lowing or eliminating a substantial portion of the IRS. 1264 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,759 Speaker 8: I think forty six percent. I want the whole place closed. 1265 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 8: But you know, it's a good start to get rid 1266 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 8: of forty six percent of it. 1267 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,640 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. It seems to me that you know, 1268 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: a lot of jobs out in the world are threatened 1269 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 1: by artificial intelligence, Congressman Davidson, isn't that sort of a 1270 01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,679 Speaker 1: role that artificial intelligence may be able to fill quite nicely? 1271 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,760 Speaker 1: It is just dollars and cents and calculations based upon 1272 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 1: an obscenely thick and fat tax code. 1273 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, look, the tasticulously complex. That's why we 1274 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,040 Speaker 8: need a different way to tax people and get rid 1275 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 8: of the income tax, which also serves as a giant 1276 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 8: surveillance tool. Pretty nosy, all the things you have to 1277 01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 8: disclose in it. But anyway, it is one hundred percent right. 1278 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 8: For more automation and more tech and the innovation that 1279 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 8: can happen there is going to eliminate a lot of 1280 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,080 Speaker 8: jobs ters of compliance. But in the meantime, when we're 1281 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,080 Speaker 8: operating the government, look we've got tons of agencies. I mean, 1282 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,040 Speaker 8: if you look at HUD, for example, housing an urban development, 1283 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:15,000 Speaker 8: they had like forty four percent coming into the office period, 1284 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 8: not like every day of the week, but like coming 1285 01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 8: into the office period. There's still This is when I 1286 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 8: was talking with Secretary Fudge before the current administration. You know, 1287 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 8: Marcia Fudge, a former remember of Congress from Cleveland area 1288 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 8: here in Ohio, became Secretary of HUD and she's like, look, 1289 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 8: you can't get all these people to come in. COVID 1290 01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 8: is long since gone, and they still couldn't get people 1291 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,439 Speaker 8: to show up to work. You've got the same dynamic 1292 01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 8: and IRS, same dynamic and Social Security administration. So a 1293 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,720 Speaker 8: lot of these people that haven't come into work, the 1294 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 8: Trump administration has already tried dealing with them. They've offered buyouts, 1295 01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 8: they've done all kinds of things. There are lots of 1296 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 8: positions like that. We can say, you know, maybe we 1297 01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 8: just don't need all these people. 1298 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Congress and Warren Davids, one more question on this shutdown, 1299 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 1: will as before we take a break and bring it 1300 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: back and talk about an amazing development. Yesterday regarding peace 1301 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,839 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, there was a floated around proposal 1302 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:13,640 Speaker 1: which is widely described as bipartisan, extending these tax supplements, 1303 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:17,559 Speaker 1: these credits that were COVID nineteen era related for one year, 1304 01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 1: sort of as a way to kick the can down 1305 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,080 Speaker 1: the road, so we'd have a new expiration date for them. 1306 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,479 Speaker 1: But is that something that you would be willing to 1307 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: go along with, because I think it's a step in 1308 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. 1309 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:32,400 Speaker 8: Personally, No, the status quo is completely broken, and I 1310 01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 8: don't think it's a good idea to extend them for 1311 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,559 Speaker 8: one month. Personally, I think we should have already repealed 1312 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:40,559 Speaker 8: Obamacare and gone on to a more market oriented approach. 1313 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 8: But if we're going to do a dime for these 1314 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:47,479 Speaker 8: COVID era plus ups for Obamacare, I hope we triple 1315 01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 8: them ten x them. Whatever. Proof once and for all 1316 01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:54,519 Speaker 8: that subsidies don't work, and it proved that, Okay, we 1317 01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 8: can't arrive at a crash site. People act like money 1318 01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 8: is irrelevant and we can just print it. Well you don't. 1319 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,040 Speaker 8: Can you not connect the dots that the massive spending 1320 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 8: causes inflation? And they're like, oh no, it's corporate greed, 1321 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,599 Speaker 8: and you're like, then the companies always want to make money. 1322 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 8: But when you spend massively more money, it causes inflation. 1323 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,600 Speaker 8: And we're seeing that in the areas that you subsidize 1324 01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 8: the most, like education and healthcare, you get the most inflation. 1325 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,760 Speaker 8: And in the economy when you spend massively more two 1326 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 8: trillion more then we generate in revenue. You're dumping two 1327 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,600 Speaker 8: trillion extra dollars into the economy every year. How do 1328 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,679 Speaker 8: you not have inflation? And for some reason people can't 1329 01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 8: do this cause effect relationship. 1330 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:40,040 Speaker 5: It's mind blowing. 1331 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:44,800 Speaker 1: That's a failure of the US education system. I would argue. Anyhow, 1332 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 1: we'll continue the Congressman War and Davidson peace in the 1333 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,080 Speaker 1: Middle East, the concept within our reach. Maybe seven to 1334 01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:54,240 Speaker 1: sixteen fifty five krc DE TALX station US five KRCD 1335 01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 1: talk Station Brian Thomas with Congressman Warren Davidson follow by 1336 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,280 Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul Bottom of the hour, Congressman Davidson a 1337 01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: wonderful revelation yesterday Hamas and Israel agreed to Phase well, 1338 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 1: I guess they're calling it Phase one. A lot of 1339 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 1: devil's devil in details, a lot of things to be 1340 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 1: ironed out, but a remarkable advancement toward peace between Israel 1341 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 1: and Hamas, the terrorist organization Israel's agreed to withdraw. There's 1342 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 1: some question marks about where the lines of withdraw are 1343 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,639 Speaker 1: going to be drawn and who's going to be providing 1344 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 1: sort of a peacekeeping force there. But I guess the 1345 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 1: Egyptian border at Rafa is now open, which allows Palestinians 1346 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,919 Speaker 1: to exit the area and allows for if food deliveries 1347 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:38,640 Speaker 1: to be brought in. This seems to be a huge accomplishment. 1348 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, what's your perception of where we are on 1349 01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:42,760 Speaker 1: this look? 1350 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,599 Speaker 8: I think Donald Trump has been very clear that his 1351 01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 8: goal is peace. He wants people to stop dying. He's 1352 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 8: been very active on the world stage, and what a 1353 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,559 Speaker 8: great use of America's influence around the world and Donald 1354 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:59,080 Speaker 8: Trump's personal role in it. And it's been amazing to watch. 1355 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:04,679 Speaker 8: He's been incredibly effective. No, I mean, no one really 1356 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 8: believes there's going to be peace in the Middle East. 1357 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 8: Whenever you starts working on it, you're like, well, okay, 1358 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 8: why don't you have tilted some other woodmill. This is 1359 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 8: a very entrenched conflict and it's amazing to see that 1360 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 8: he's brought the parties together to get to a point 1361 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,880 Speaker 8: where they're close to peace. They're agreed to do it. Now, 1362 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:24,799 Speaker 8: let's see if they actually do it, and you know, exchange, 1363 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,960 Speaker 8: you got to give up the hostages. Yeah, and you've 1364 01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 8: got to stop. You know, Hamas cannot govern Gaza. That's 1365 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 8: the base thing for Israel and then for you know, 1366 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,920 Speaker 8: the people of Gaza. All right, if those things are met, 1367 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 8: then Israel can start pulling troops out of the Gaza area. 1368 01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 8: And if it changes, well then okay, then it's all 1369 01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 8: back on. But hopefully peace we'll get there. I've spent 1370 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 8: a lot of time praying for this peace and it's 1371 01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 8: just terrible to see what's going on. War is a 1372 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:53,559 Speaker 8: horrible thing. 1373 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,280 Speaker 1: Well, in part of me wants to believe the Democrats 1374 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 1: are actually quite upset about this, inspite of the fact 1375 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 1: it's going to lead to maybe fewer and maybe even 1376 01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 1: a broader piece like the Abraham Accords we're bringing around. 1377 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that extending throughout the entire region. Hey, 1378 01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,720 Speaker 1: let's live together independently, but play together nicely for the 1379 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 1: purposes of everybody's economic benefit. And what an odd concept that. 1380 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 1: But I thought it was wonderful that all of the 1381 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,200 Speaker 1: parties to these negotiations, from Hamas to Israel to cutter 1382 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:25,040 Speaker 1: to Egypt to Turkey, all much to the chagrin of Democrats, 1383 01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,439 Speaker 1: giving Donald Trump specific praise for his efforts along these lines. 1384 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 1: I mean, as much as I have no value in 1385 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize ever since Barack Obama got one 1386 01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,719 Speaker 1: for doing literally nothing, but this makes Donald Trump really 1387 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:43,240 Speaker 1: quite eligible, if not well deserved, of a Nobel Peace Prize. 1388 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's what makes them lose their minds over it. 1389 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,040 Speaker 8: I mean, you've kept people trying to overdose on talent 1390 01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 8: OneD just because Donald Trump pointed out that talent all themselves, 1391 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 8: and Harvard did a study that said, hey, take in 1392 01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,120 Speaker 8: talent all while you're pregnant could be bad for you. 1393 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,439 Speaker 8: Talk to your doctor. And so there are people that 1394 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,599 Speaker 8: are literally going to the ICU because well, to own Trump, 1395 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 8: I have to do this. And so now you see, 1396 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 8: on the biggest world stage possible, Donald Trump getting a 1397 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 8: win which is, you know, win after win after win 1398 01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 8: in all kinds of areas. They just can't stand it. 1399 01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 8: And even if it meant more war, they would be like, well, 1400 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,879 Speaker 8: but Trump can't succeed. I think one of the funniest 1401 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:26,600 Speaker 8: things I saw was, you know, kind of one of 1402 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 8: those Babylon d type headlines, is Federal judge rules that 1403 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 8: Trump cannot does not have the authority to facilitate peace 1404 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 8: in the Middle East. You know, but this is the thing. 1405 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,800 Speaker 8: Anything to stop Trump is basically the only thing that 1406 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:40,800 Speaker 8: the Left stands. 1407 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 1: For these days, no question about it. Well, and the 1408 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,360 Speaker 1: other component of this that remains a mystery to me 1409 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 1: because as we see all these pro Palestinian pro Hamas 1410 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:53,840 Speaker 1: agitator agitators tearing up college campuses and overrunning cities, I 1411 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't see any reference to the question of a Palestinian state. 1412 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 1: Is this have any open sort of at least wiggle 1413 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 1: room for that to be brought about. Is that something 1414 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 1: that wasn't touch by this. I didn't hear any I 1415 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 1: didn't really quite read anything which definitively answers that question. 1416 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:14,320 Speaker 8: Congressman Davids, Yeah, that was very intentionally not included in 1417 01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 8: this because there's just no way that there's going to 1418 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,840 Speaker 8: be a discussion about that that involves Hamas, and so 1419 01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,679 Speaker 8: the condition is Hamas can't govern in Gaza, and then 1420 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,080 Speaker 8: there's a lot of rebuilding that needs to take place 1421 01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 8: before that's even ripe. And there are a lot of 1422 01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:32,680 Speaker 8: people that are pushing for it, including some of the 1423 01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 8: European Union, Democrats, radicals, campus folks in particular that you're 1424 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:42,240 Speaker 8: talking about, and you know the ten seven massacre when 1425 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 8: Hamas you know, went out and massacred innocent civilians in Israel. 1426 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,960 Speaker 8: A lot of what their demand was is a separate state. 1427 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 8: I mean, you can't reward that massacred, the ten seven 1428 01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,680 Speaker 8: massacre with talking about a separate Palconian state, but you 1429 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,720 Speaker 8: can restore peace. And so it looks like they're well 1430 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,080 Speaker 8: underway towards that and hopefully it continues. 1431 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,200 Speaker 1: Amen to that, Congressman Warren Davidson, I certainly appreciate your 1432 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,160 Speaker 1: willingness to join my listeners of me and have a 1433 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 1: discussion on these important issues. And I truly appreciate you 1434 01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,799 Speaker 1: and your standing on these matters as an elected official. 1435 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,960 Speaker 1: We need more people like Congressman Warren Davidson, and I 1436 01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,160 Speaker 1: want to thank all of your voters for putting you 1437 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 1: in office, and hopefully we'll have continued great relations with 1438 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 1: you here on the fifty five Carise Morning.

Thank you to the 1449 01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 1: residents of the Commonwealth can Ucky for both of those men. 1450 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: Welcome back, Senator Paul. It's a pleasure having you on 1451 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:03,679 Speaker 1: the show today. 1452 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:06,760 Speaker 9: Good morning, Brian, thanks for having me. 1453 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,719 Speaker 1: Another bite at the apple. Another resolution shot down. Senate 1454 01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,200 Speaker 1: said fifty four to forty five no, rejecting the proposal 1455 01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: to continuing resolution and funding levels at Biden Era level, 1456 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,599 Speaker 1: which passed in the House. You were one I think 1457 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,880 Speaker 1: you were the only the lone Republican to vote against 1458 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: yesterday's measure. My listeners are aware that this is all 1459 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:30,599 Speaker 1: revolving around the Democrats desire to continue COVID era tax credits, 1460 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 1: which covids over. This comes at a very expensive cost 1461 01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 1: of the American taxpayer and also allows illegal immigrants to 1462 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 1: get hooked up to Obamacare. Now, with that in mind, 1463 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 1: explain to my listeners your rationale for saying no yesterday 1464 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 1: and previously. 1465 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 9: You know I'm against the Obamacare subsidies. I've voted against 1466 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 9: every addition to Obamacare since the very beginning, and we'll 1467 01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 9: continue to oppose that. What we had before us, though, 1468 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 9: is two different spending proposals. One is a Democrat proposal. 1469 01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 9: It has the obamacareb these in it, and it also 1470 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,400 Speaker 9: has about a trillion dollars more in spending for a 1471 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,439 Speaker 9: three trillion dollar deficit. So I'm imposed of that package 1472 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 9: as well. Now. The Republican alternative, though, isn't a lot better. 1473 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:15,480 Speaker 9: The Republican alternative continues the Biden spending levels from last December, 1474 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,240 Speaker 9: and it will lead to about a two trillion dollar deficit. 1475 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:22,120 Speaker 9: So basically, the Republicans we have this two trillion in deficit, 1476 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,639 Speaker 9: the Democrats three, and I'm not for either of those, 1477 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,760 Speaker 9: but I've put forward an alternative. My alternative is called 1478 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,599 Speaker 9: the Penny Plan, and they voted on it about two 1479 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,120 Speaker 9: weeks ago, and we had thirty six Republicans, which is 1480 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:38,639 Speaker 9: the most we've ever had before. Thirty six Republicans supported 1481 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 9: the Penny Plan, which balances the budget within five years, 1482 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,800 Speaker 9: dramatically reduces the deficit in the first year, and we 1483 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:49,679 Speaker 9: lost sixteen big government Republicans you can probably guess who 1484 01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,640 Speaker 9: they are, and then we lost all the Democrats. So 1485 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:54,639 Speaker 9: there aren't the numbers yet to do the right thing, 1486 01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 9: but there still has to be somebody up here we 1487 01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 9: as trying to do the right thing and votes against deficits, 1488 01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 9: whether they were Publican or Democrat. 1489 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,280 Speaker 1: How do you see this playing out? Because Wall Street 1490 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:08,280 Speaker 1: Journal reported that some Republicans are saying, Eh, you might 1491 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,519 Speaker 1: want to watch what you're doing, Donald Trump, because you're 1492 01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,960 Speaker 1: talking about laying off chunks of employees permanently and closing 1493 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:19,800 Speaker 1: certain offices of the government through the omb reduction thing 1494 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: that he's mentioned before. I guess I'm wondering what's your 1495 01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 1: take on that. Do you see Republicans capitulating it all. 1496 01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,080 Speaker 1: I know there's one proposal out there that you would 1497 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,719 Speaker 1: never vote for which extends these supplements for one year, 1498 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,280 Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road. But what of moving 1499 01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 1: forward with this quote unquote pain Donald Trump is planning 1500 01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,240 Speaker 1: on inflicting via the OMB and the layoffs and firings. 1501 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1502 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,760 Speaker 9: Well, when you look at this and you look at 1503 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 9: the logic of how people are voting on this, get 1504 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,800 Speaker 9: every Democrat vote in December of last year for these 1505 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,800 Speaker 9: same spending levels, that's when they first became known as 1506 01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 9: the Biden spending levels. Every Democrat supported him. This is 1507 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 9: the exact same bill. This is no different than what 1508 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,640 Speaker 9: they voted for, absolutely no difference. I think really the 1509 01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:08,960 Speaker 9: pain is going to be on Democrats to explain why 1510 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 9: they were for these spending levels before they were against 1511 01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,400 Speaker 9: these spending levels, and so I think Republicans should stay 1512 01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:19,840 Speaker 9: the course. I do think eventually the Republicans will capitulate, 1513 01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,560 Speaker 9: not me, but the rest of them will probably capitulate 1514 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 9: and give them the Obamacare subsidies. People have to realize though, 1515 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 9: also these are not the original subsidies from when Obamacare passed. 1516 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:33,879 Speaker 9: These were add on subsidies for richer people. So basically 1517 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,479 Speaker 9: a lot of people who don't live in poverty are 1518 01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 9: now getting Obamacare subsidies, significant subsidies only since twenty twenty three. 1519 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,560 Speaker 9: And the reason they're expiring now is not because Republicans 1520 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 9: are making them expire. The Democrats designed them to expire 1521 01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:51,680 Speaker 9: because of the way the rules are written. The Democrats 1522 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 9: were spending so much money they had to eventually let 1523 01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 9: these things expire. But now they're playing a game basically 1524 01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 9: trying to blame it on Republicans, when in fact, the 1525 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:03,719 Speaker 9: Democrats actually wrote the rules such that these subjecties would expire. 1526 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Now, it's such a clear concept. The idea that the 1527 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,880 Speaker 1: concern and about Donald Trump maybe moving forward with omb 1528 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 1: reductions is going to provide the Democrats with an argument that, aha, 1529 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 1: this is why the government shut down because Donald Trump 1530 01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,759 Speaker 1: merely wanted to use it as an opportunity to reduce 1531 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,680 Speaker 1: the size and the scope of government. I think that's 1532 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 1: kind of laughable. They're going to argue about who wins 1533 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:30,479 Speaker 1: the declaration of who's responsible for the government shutdown, something 1534 01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:33,519 Speaker 1: that really doesn't impact most Americans. I think that's kind 1535 01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: of childish to even focus on that one issue the 1536 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 1: winner loss. 1537 01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the Democrats have trouble overcoming the fact 1538 01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 9: that they've already voted for these spending levels and now 1539 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,879 Speaker 9: they're going to vote against the same spending levels. Essentially, 1540 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,360 Speaker 9: they've moved the goalpost. So these Obamacare subsidies are not 1541 01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:53,320 Speaker 9: part of the annual spending proposals. They're separate. So they're 1542 01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 9: trying to drag something in that's expiring. That's expiring because 1543 01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,680 Speaker 9: they wrote the legislation to expire, and they're trying to 1544 01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:02,799 Speaker 9: drag that into the spending debate. But the spending debate 1545 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:05,920 Speaker 9: is pretty clear cut. These are the Biden spending levels, 1546 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 9: and the Democrats have all voted for them. The rumor 1547 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 9: is that the Democrats are worried to death about their 1548 01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 9: left flank. They're worried about the socialist flank and the 1549 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,640 Speaker 9: party and the socialists are hot and heavy, you know, 1550 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,280 Speaker 9: for some of these incumbents. So like there's rumors that 1551 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,720 Speaker 9: AOC wants to run against Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is 1552 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,599 Speaker 9: afraid of his own shadow now and that he will 1553 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 9: basically do whatever it takes to show them how strong 1554 01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,959 Speaker 9: he is. And a lot of people think that there's 1555 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 9: a big rally with the Socialists on the mall this 1556 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 9: we can yeah, and they think that the Democrats have 1557 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:40,640 Speaker 9: to get through that rally, show the people all they 1558 01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 9: stood up to Republicans, and then they'll have to sort 1559 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 9: of put forward something saying, oh, Republicans have agreed to 1560 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,879 Speaker 9: negotiate on these Obamacare subsidies, and I think the Republicans 1561 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 9: are going to negotiate with them. I think they'll declare 1562 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 9: victory and then the Democrats allow the government to open. 1563 01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 1: Back up fair enough and pivoting over to you perhaps 1564 01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 1: being spied on. You among the senators who identified that. 1565 01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:06,439 Speaker 1: Jack Smith launched an inquiry a couple three years after 1566 01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:09,800 Speaker 1: the January first drunken fraternity parties I like to refer 1567 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 1: to it, but in twenty twenty three he subpoenaed phone 1568 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:18,240 Speaker 1: records from eight senators and one House member, with no 1569 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,879 Speaker 1: reason to believe any of them were involved in criminal activity. 1570 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a profound civil rights violation from 1571 01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,959 Speaker 1: my perspective. What's your reaction to this happening, Senator Paul. 1572 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,559 Speaker 9: Absolutely, and I think there's going to be repercussions in 1573 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,559 Speaker 9: the court system against who's doing this. So there's a 1574 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:40,840 Speaker 9: famous couple famous cases. Riley versus California and Carpenter versus 1575 01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:44,280 Speaker 9: the US, the Supreme Court decided, and in these cases, 1576 01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 9: they decided that certain of your records deserved for Amendment protections. 1577 01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,040 Speaker 9: So subpoenas have a lower standard. You can get a 1578 01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,599 Speaker 9: subpoena of people's banking records and phone records without saying 1579 01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,559 Speaker 9: probable cause. What the Supreme Court said was that some 1580 01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 9: of your records are so private that you should have 1581 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,719 Speaker 9: for the Amendment protections. And among those records that are private, 1582 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:10,960 Speaker 9: or your geolocation. So if I call the phone company 1583 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 9: and I want to where's Brian Thomas every moment of 1584 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,599 Speaker 9: the last week, I can tell a lot about your 1585 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:17,800 Speaker 9: life that's really none of my business or none of 1586 01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:20,240 Speaker 9: the government's business. And I shouldn't be allowed to do 1587 01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,040 Speaker 9: that unless I say, you're committing a crime. And that's 1588 01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:25,280 Speaker 9: why we you know, we present evidence that you're committing 1589 01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,520 Speaker 9: a crime. And so I think that he did this illegally. 1590 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:30,600 Speaker 9: I think he did it through a grand jury subpoena. 1591 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:36,439 Speaker 9: But the Carpenter case, Supreme Court Justice Roberts actually wrote 1592 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,519 Speaker 9: that the subpoenas will still be able to get records, 1593 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 9: but there will be certain records that have privacy interests 1594 01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,000 Speaker 9: where they'll have to have probable calls and a Fourth 1595 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,160 Speaker 9: Amendment warrant to do it. And so I think that 1596 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:51,240 Speaker 9: absolutely he did something that the court's going to rule against. 1597 01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,960 Speaker 9: And I think these representatives actually have standing against the 1598 01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:00,000 Speaker 9: phone company because the phone company basically, unfortunately, the phone 1599 01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,840 Speaker 9: company doesn't do a very good job at defending your 1600 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,920 Speaker 9: liberty for your records they want, and they just give 1601 01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:07,559 Speaker 9: them to the government. In fact, the government can wink 1602 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,759 Speaker 9: at the phone company and they'll give you all your records. 1603 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:13,240 Speaker 9: I mean, it's just disgusting. So I hope they do 1604 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:17,280 Speaker 9: sue their phone companies. I love business. I love successful business. 1605 01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:19,799 Speaker 9: I don't like a business it's turning over my private 1606 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,280 Speaker 9: records to the government without a fight. 1607 01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,080 Speaker 1: No, And they can fight. I mean they've got lawyers 1608 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 1: in their massive companies and legal teams that could you say, no, 1609 01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:29,800 Speaker 1: we can't give you this because of the aforementioned case, 1610 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,439 Speaker 1: and we're not going to do it because we used 1611 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 1: to have the battles when I was in house over 1612 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 1: at Anthem, Blue Cross and Blue Shield all the time. 1613 01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:38,599 Speaker 1: You get subpoenas, so you have an obligation I think 1614 01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,840 Speaker 1: to perfect protect the interests of those individuals who are 1615 01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,519 Speaker 1: working with your company, in this case to get phone service. 1616 01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:47,760 Speaker 1: Senator Rampaul in the late remaining moments of our time together, 1617 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,280 Speaker 1: and I sure appreciate our time together. Your reaction to 1618 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 1: the phase one of the Gaza deal. It looks like 1619 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:57,479 Speaker 1: Amasa has agreed to release the prisoners. Israel has agreed 1620 01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,479 Speaker 1: to pull back its forces. It looks like we might 1621 01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 1: have some cease fire unfolding here. Devil's in the details 1622 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 1: that need to be ironed out. But I viewed this 1623 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:06,479 Speaker 1: as a really positive step. 1624 01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 9: Your reaction, absolutely, And if it's true and the hostages 1625 01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:13,839 Speaker 9: are free in the next few days or a few hours, 1626 01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:17,360 Speaker 9: I think everybody will rejoice. If the killing can be 1627 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:20,840 Speaker 9: discontinued in guzz that people will rejoice. And I think 1628 01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,599 Speaker 9: this is something that Donald Trump deserves, if it's successful, 1629 01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,680 Speaker 9: deserves a lot of credit for because the one thing 1630 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,560 Speaker 9: you can't discount about Donald Trump is he has this 1631 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:34,800 Speaker 9: force of presence, this this ability to be you know 1632 01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:38,599 Speaker 9: this sometimes at bully and a China shop, but sometimes 1633 01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,559 Speaker 9: one that will stand up even into our allies like 1634 01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 9: Israel and say it's time to make a deal. And 1635 01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:45,080 Speaker 9: I think he has gotten his room to make a deal, 1636 01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,519 Speaker 9: whereas I think that Yahoo Uh struggles to make a 1637 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,920 Speaker 9: deal because he struggles against criticism at home for being 1638 01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,679 Speaker 9: too soft, which I can't imagine how they can describe 1639 01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:56,800 Speaker 9: him as to solve. But the thing is, I think 1640 01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 9: Trump inserting himself in this, I think has hopefully pushed 1641 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,759 Speaker 9: it on. And you got to wonder why, Howmas wouldn't 1642 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 9: you know, settle? I mean, they've been decimated, most of 1643 01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 9: their leaders have been killed, probably three fourths of their 1644 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:14,320 Speaker 9: soldiers or not soldiers, terrorists have been killed. And my 1645 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:18,760 Speaker 9: goodness is they could give up the hostages. You know, they're, 1646 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,120 Speaker 9: like I say, will rejoice and hopefully they will work 1647 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:22,479 Speaker 9: and end well. 1648 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?

The Enquirer sponsoring this along with Xavier 1680 01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:02,600 Speaker 1: at the Ohio Debate Commission and Cincinnati City Cable. You 1681 01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,760 Speaker 1: can watch it wherever City Cable is I've never even 1682 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:10,840 Speaker 1: heard of it, but also stream it on Local twelve's website, 1683 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,080 Speaker 1: so there's opportunities for you to watch it from the 1684 01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:14,840 Speaker 1: comfort of your own home if you can't make it there, 1685 01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:17,000 Speaker 1: and there's a whole bunch of rules on it, and 1686 01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:19,960 Speaker 1: I will go. Cincinnati dot Com is the Enquirer's website. 1687 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,320 Speaker 1: All the details about what you can and can't bring. 1688 01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,639 Speaker 1: You're not allowed to bring any signs or norse makers 1689 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,600 Speaker 1: inside the center, but you also can't bring political flyers, 1690 01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:33,880 Speaker 1: campaign materials, or signage to distribute or display outside of 1691 01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:37,559 Speaker 1: Cintas Center or on Xavier University property.

Along those lines. There's decorum 1694 01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,479 Speaker 1: rules play nice together as bottom line on that, which 1695 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 1: I think is wholly appropriate in so far as the 1696 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 1: drinking game is concerned. Anytime the word trump or maga, 1697 01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 1: this is Joe Strecker's rules and you can feel free 1698 01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,559 Speaker 1: to elaborate and make your own rules at home. One 1699 01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,960 Speaker 1: shot for trump or maga reference. And if he mentioned 1700 01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:05,519 Speaker 1: if anybody mentions JD. Vance that he is Jdvens's Vance's 1701 01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,519 Speaker 1: half brother, you have to chug whatever is remaining in 1702 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:12,679 Speaker 1: your glass. How about sanctuary cities? Will that get mentioned? 1703 01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:14,240 Speaker 1: Cities a sanctuary city? 1704 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:14,479 Speaker 5: Right? 1705 01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:19,640 Speaker 1: You have to have purval declared it. So as I 1706 01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:22,320 Speaker 1: see that, oh, we have a problem with illegal immigrant 1707 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:25,639 Speaker 1: gangs in our areah.

Perhaps just sending them back 1740 01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:51,400 Speaker 1: to their country of origin will solve the problem. Just 1741 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:54,120 Speaker 1: food for thought.

Yes, 1795 01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,000 Speaker 4: but when twenty twenty four Halt twenty four, we saw 1796 01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:37,320 Speaker 4: Trump game six percent of that vote compared to twenty twenty. 1797 01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:40,200 Speaker 4: So we are definitely seeing gen Z as having a 1798 01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:43,320 Speaker 4: major hold in American politics as of now. 1799 01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,720 Speaker 1: Well, you're following this quite closely. What do you hear 1800 01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:49,760 Speaker 1: from the I'll call them converts. You know, he who 1801 01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:51,679 Speaker 1: is not from the left as a youth has no heart, 1802 01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:53,320 Speaker 1: He who is not from the right as an adult 1803 01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:55,760 Speaker 1: has no brain. Obviously they're waking up at a much 1804 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 1: younger age. What's driving this more conservative shift? 1805 01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:04,080 Speaker 4: Hunter, Yeah, So what is basically driving this shift is 1806 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 4: the combination of stuff, and one of them is what 1807 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:10,400 Speaker 4: we are definitely seeing is somewhat of a religious revival 1808 01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:15,479 Speaker 4: in America that is taking more a traditional approach to issues, 1809 01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:20,200 Speaker 4: whether that's on abortion, transgenderism, all the more social issues 1810 01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,240 Speaker 4: we are definitely seeing amongst gen Z. But also I 1811 01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,559 Speaker 4: would say one of the things as a gen Z 1812 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:31,120 Speaker 4: individual myself, is just the major skepticism of our institutions, 1813 01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:35,360 Speaker 4: and people are like, okay, Hunter or gen Z, why 1814 01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:38,519 Speaker 4: you say skeptical, Well, basically since the day we're born, 1815 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 4: if you want to really get like you said nineteen 1816 01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:42,640 Speaker 4: ninety seven and for me like two thousand and one, 1817 01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:46,679 Speaker 4: gpticism is kind of part of our nature where you've 1818 01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:50,759 Speaker 4: had politicians from say right and left or really Democrat 1819 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:53,400 Speaker 4: Republican that have told us, hey, if you do certain things, 1820 01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,559 Speaker 4: we'll give you this and that, and we haven't seen anything. 1821 01:42:56,720 --> 01:43:00,160 Speaker 4: We've been told everything, we've been promised to everything, and 1822 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:03,200 Speaker 4: none of that's happened. So there is certainly a skepticism 1823 01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:09,600 Speaker 4: within gen Z towards intutions like Congress, the presidency, and 1824 01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 4: even the Spring Court. And that has translated into an 1825 01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,439 Speaker 4: approach that seeks, hey, why do we want to give 1826 01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 4: more power over to these institutions that have lied to us? Yes, 1827 01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:24,479 Speaker 4: and that's also been a major driver towards conservative and 1828 01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 4: also just the simple desire for truth. We've been told 1829 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,799 Speaker 4: to think a certain way, you know, not to question 1830 01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,360 Speaker 4: our folks in the classroom, and then when we try 1831 01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,679 Speaker 4: to actually have a discussion about issues, we are actually 1832 01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:40,840 Speaker 4: diving in these issues way more than people anticipated. We 1833 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,720 Speaker 4: want the truth and we don't want these institutions to 1834 01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:45,960 Speaker 4: say you're going to think a certain way or else. 1835 01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:49,360 Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting, and I suspect that, I know one 1836 01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:50,680 Speaker 1: of the things you're going to be talking about, and 1837 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,840 Speaker 1: in addition to the meaning of conservatism, talking about what 1838 01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 1: issues are really critical to this movement, but the role 1839 01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:01,240 Speaker 1: of technology. I mean, I'm in that that that generation 1840 01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:04,480 Speaker 1: hunter that if you really wanted to pay attention to politics, 1841 01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:07,439 Speaker 1: you had to subscribe to magazines, you know, like The 1842 01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:11,240 Speaker 1: New Republic or Atlantic, or you know, subscribe to major newspapers. 1843 01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:12,960 Speaker 1: You had to get a copy of the Wall Street Journal, 1844 01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:15,400 Speaker 1: you had to watch the McNeil LAIRIR News Hour on 1845 01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:19,320 Speaker 1: Sundays if you wanted any substantive conversation. So it was 1846 01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:22,719 Speaker 1: easy to gloss over it. We have the Internet, welcome 1847 01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,160 Speaker 1: to reality in this modern day and age. And I 1848 01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,719 Speaker 1: suspect because kids spend young people, I would argue, spend 1849 01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,680 Speaker 1: a lot of time on social media, they're actually engaging 1850 01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:36,240 Speaker 1: in political discourse and following the issues that are impacting them. 1851 01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:38,960 Speaker 1: It's created a wonderful opportunity for them to educate themselves. 1852 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,240 Speaker 1: In spite of what the left wants to how they 1853 01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:44,600 Speaker 1: want to control them precisely. 1854 01:44:44,680 --> 01:44:44,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1855 01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,439 Speaker 4: I mean one of the jokes we say about gen 1856 01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:51,520 Speaker 4: Z as Generation Zoomer because we are the digital kids. 1857 01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:53,920 Speaker 4: You know, you had your millennials prior that were like, Okay, 1858 01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:56,720 Speaker 4: we're finally getting the Internet. But then now the gen 1859 01:44:56,840 --> 01:45:00,280 Speaker 4: Z my group is now signed, we have social media. 1860 01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:03,960 Speaker 4: We have way more platforms to engage people in ways 1861 01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,200 Speaker 4: that I don't think many of us original thought could 1862 01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:08,880 Speaker 4: be even possible. And that's why you're seeing a lot 1863 01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:14,920 Speaker 4: of people on social media, whether that's X, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, 1864 01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,839 Speaker 4: all those platforms right now are being used to spread 1865 01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:22,960 Speaker 4: more information than I think anybody could imagine. I think 1866 01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,240 Speaker 4: that's also where the rise of conservatives is just the 1867 01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:30,879 Speaker 4: fact that social media is offering an alternative to the mainstream. Indeed, 1868 01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:34,360 Speaker 4: you can actually have you can actually have discourse without 1869 01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:38,200 Speaker 4: major networks studying it down overnight and saying well, if 1870 01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:41,120 Speaker 4: you have the wrong opinion, you can't say this. Well, no, 1871 01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:45,679 Speaker 4: we want a platform, and these alternative media is providing 1872 01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:46,720 Speaker 4: that platform for gen Z. 1873 01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:49,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, unlimited amount of material, and we get to be 1874 01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,840 Speaker 1: our own editor in terms of what material we choose 1875 01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,519 Speaker 1: to consume and digest. We're not being dictated to by 1876 01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,759 Speaker 1: some behind the scenes person and some probably left leaning 1877 01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:00,840 Speaker 1: network who's picking and choosing what informa to feed us. 1878 01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:02,960 Speaker 1: It's all out there for anybody who chooses to want 1879 01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,439 Speaker 1: to go after it. I gotta hit on something, Hunter, 1880 01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:08,519 Speaker 1: as I want to ask you this directly because I 1881 01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:11,360 Speaker 1: think it is probably, if not the one of the 1882 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:16,439 Speaker 1: primary mechanisms for this awakening young people are having, and 1883 01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:19,400 Speaker 1: this rejection of leftist ideology. And you mentioned it before, 1884 01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:23,000 Speaker 1: this idea that we need to accept someone's personal choice 1885 01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,240 Speaker 1: on what gender they are. Now, I don't care personally 1886 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:27,880 Speaker 1: that there are transgenders in the world. 1887 01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:28,160 Speaker 5: You know. 1888 01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,479 Speaker 1: I can live under that umbrella as long as you're 1889 01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:33,599 Speaker 1: not forcing me to say out loud that yes, they 1890 01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:35,960 Speaker 1: are indeed a sex that they're not born with. I'm 1891 01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 1: a purist when it comes to medicine X and y 1892 01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:40,439 Speaker 1: X and a X determined your sex period, end of story. 1893 01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:42,320 Speaker 1: You want to believe you're somebody else, hey, go ahead, 1894 01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:45,920 Speaker 1: But you can't force me to say you're a woman 1895 01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:48,519 Speaker 1: if you're a guy, and you shouldn't be allowed in 1896 01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:50,600 Speaker 1: a female locker room if you're a guy. There's a 1897 01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:52,840 Speaker 1: whole lot of risk that goes along with that. Is 1898 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:56,559 Speaker 1: that as prominent a reason for this conservative shift as 1899 01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,439 Speaker 1: I'm kind of perceiving it to be, because it's like 1900 01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,960 Speaker 1: the biggest batcrap in scene element out there, almost on 1901 01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:03,439 Speaker 1: the left hand side of the ledger. 1902 01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:07,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think you're even wrong about that, because 1903 01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:11,000 Speaker 4: even I I would essentually I would actually agree with that, 1904 01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:15,960 Speaker 4: because what you're seeing is the left, especially in our institutions, 1905 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:19,920 Speaker 4: has hit so hard with these radical ideologies. You know, 1906 01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:22,559 Speaker 4: like you said, you know, somehow a man can become 1907 01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:25,280 Speaker 4: a woman and vice versa, or if you use the 1908 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:28,559 Speaker 4: wrong pronoun or mischigender, somebody like you see in Colorado, 1909 01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:33,320 Speaker 4: you can actually be arrested or be denied service from 1910 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,559 Speaker 4: senior kids in corn You know, you have all these 1911 01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:41,840 Speaker 4: radical proposals, and it's like, look, we don't care if 1912 01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:46,160 Speaker 4: you're gay or lesbian or a transition. We really don't care. 1913 01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:51,120 Speaker 4: Just don't impose your ideology on somebody and force them 1914 01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:54,400 Speaker 4: into something they don't simply agree with. Right, Nobody, I 1915 01:47:54,439 --> 01:47:56,800 Speaker 4: would say gen Z in some ways is kind of 1916 01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:00,160 Speaker 4: mix of conservatives but also libertarians. 1917 01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,840 Speaker 1: There libertarians, that's me. I'm a little el litertarian hunter 1918 01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:05,160 Speaker 1: with Oswald I. I I think we can all play 1919 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,839 Speaker 1: nicely under the under the under the banner of freedom, 1920 01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, the right to control our own individual destinies 1921 01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:15,360 Speaker 1: without intruding into someone else's life. Hell, yes, I'll go 1922 01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:16,519 Speaker 1: for that all day, man. 1923 01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:19,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, but yeah, I mean it's kind of 1924 01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:21,439 Speaker 4: and that's where I would describe gen Z in some 1925 01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:24,800 Speaker 4: way as a fusion Like we've heard this, you know, 1926 01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:30,800 Speaker 4: amongst conservative fusionism between conservative ideas and groups with libertarians, 1927 01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:32,280 Speaker 4: and that's been there for a long time, but I 1928 01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:35,680 Speaker 4: think it's certainly growing again, and especially you're seeing that 1929 01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,639 Speaker 4: in gen Z because like I've said and others have said, 1930 01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:42,479 Speaker 4: is we don't care if you or this or that, 1931 01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,679 Speaker 4: just don't impose your will or use the state for government. 1932 01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:49,080 Speaker 4: How do you want to call them to put your 1933 01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:51,120 Speaker 4: ideas on us and then say if you don't follow 1934 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:53,320 Speaker 4: our rules, if you don't like what we you have 1935 01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:56,320 Speaker 4: we have for you to say, then we're going to 1936 01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:58,519 Speaker 4: shut you out. We're not going to give you these privileges. 1937 01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:00,760 Speaker 4: We're not going to allow you to practice your fundamental 1938 01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,479 Speaker 4: rights as a human being. Because I think at the 1939 01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:07,120 Speaker 4: end of the day, what conservatism offers that the progressives 1940 01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:11,599 Speaker 4: they don't is given an idea of what is human dignity, 1941 01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:14,920 Speaker 4: what is being able to be free to do what 1942 01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:17,599 Speaker 4: you'd want to do, so long as you're not infringing 1943 01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:21,320 Speaker 4: on other people's right to do the same. And I 1944 01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:25,600 Speaker 4: think that's where gen Z is finally realizing conservatism. Libertarianism 1945 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,080 Speaker 4: is offering that alternative, and it's always been there, it's 1946 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,800 Speaker 4: just our institutions haven't been willing to say, oh, yeah, 1947 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:37,680 Speaker 4: they got a point, because progressism is a fundamentally denial 1948 01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:41,960 Speaker 4: of what those ideals, those universal truths. 1949 01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:44,880 Speaker 1: Are indeed, and of course when you're a Marxist, you 1950 01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,400 Speaker 1: hate religion, the concept of something higher power than the government. 1951 01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:50,920 Speaker 1: Of course, the Founding fathers were well aware of that. 1952 01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:53,599 Speaker 1: That's why we have inalienable rights in the Bill of Rights. 1953 01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:55,679 Speaker 1: They are God given rights. And if you don't believe 1954 01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:57,799 Speaker 1: in God, you can still believe in that concept. Consider 1955 01:49:57,840 --> 01:49:59,519 Speaker 1: the state of nature, as I point out all the time, 1956 01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:01,679 Speaker 1: if you're play down in the middle of field magically 1957 01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,720 Speaker 1: by the flying spaghetti monster and born in as where 1958 01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:06,880 Speaker 1: there is no one around you, you can literally do 1959 01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,240 Speaker 1: anything you want as soon as another human being lands 1960 01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:11,479 Speaker 1: next to you. Then you have to observe their rights 1961 01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,160 Speaker 1: and freedoms. You can't harm them, they can't harm you. 1962 01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,880 Speaker 1: But can you defend yourself? Yes, in natural law you can. 1963 01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,559 Speaker 1: Can you go out and feed yourself, Yes you can. 1964 01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:25,040 Speaker 1: It's that whole idea of natural law, and that's you know, 1965 01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:28,680 Speaker 1: it springs from sometimes a religious ideology. I guess I'm 1966 01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:32,599 Speaker 1: just wondering. Like turning point, Usa, Charlie Kirk very religious guy. 1967 01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:36,559 Speaker 1: His political message was cloaked in faith, but he wasn't 1968 01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:38,360 Speaker 1: trying to force you to be a Christian. He was 1969 01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:42,120 Speaker 1: trying to explain the value of it for you as 1970 01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:44,920 Speaker 1: an individual. It's uplifting, It gives you hope, it gives 1971 01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:46,880 Speaker 1: you freedom, it gives you I mean, there's a lot 1972 01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:50,280 Speaker 1: of reasons that he encouraged Christianity, but he wasn't going 1973 01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:53,439 Speaker 1: to force you to become Christian. Just say out loud, 1974 01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:58,799 Speaker 1: Hunter that you're a Christian immediately results in this venomous 1975 01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,880 Speaker 1: attack by the left. Is stupid. What do you believe in? 1976 01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:04,880 Speaker 1: The in the philag Spagheti monster too and they just 1977 01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,719 Speaker 1: immediately attack you merely because you're a person of faith. 1978 01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,599 Speaker 1: Is is it a reaction from young people to now 1979 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:16,200 Speaker 1: start turning to faith because of that response. I mean, 1980 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:18,639 Speaker 1: you know what, that's ridiculous, and I'm gonna look into 1981 01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:20,880 Speaker 1: this concept of faith and religion. 1982 01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:23,200 Speaker 4: Precisely. 1983 01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:23,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1984 01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:27,519 Speaker 4: No, gen Z is definitely being a revival in faith, 1985 01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:31,879 Speaker 4: especially towards Christianity. So me personally, I'm a Roman Catholic. 1986 01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:33,800 Speaker 4: I've been a Roman Catholic since the day i was born. 1987 01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:37,280 Speaker 4: I'm proud to be Roman Catholic. Now people would say, Hunter, 1988 01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:40,080 Speaker 4: what about you know, the Catholic Church and stuff, because 1989 01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,240 Speaker 4: that's one of the argument today before young people who 1990 01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:49,040 Speaker 4: are going towards say more traditional Masses or traditional Christianity 1991 01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:52,880 Speaker 4: amongst gen Z and they like you said, all you're superstitious. 1992 01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:53,439 Speaker 5: What do you believe in? 1993 01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:57,000 Speaker 4: It's like, look what the Blessed has done for the 1994 01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:01,280 Speaker 4: past few decades is promote this idea of pure secularism 1995 01:52:01,320 --> 01:52:06,240 Speaker 4: that somehow faith should be entirely separate from political, even 1996 01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:10,760 Speaker 4: at more or less even cultural life. And they've been 1997 01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:13,600 Speaker 4: promoted in this new idea called new atheism, which you 1998 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,799 Speaker 4: hear people would say like you're rich your Dawkins, you're 1999 01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,680 Speaker 4: Christopher Higginson's who are saying that you know, faith is 2000 01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:24,960 Speaker 4: not just useless, it's fundamentally dangerous to society because it 2001 01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:29,080 Speaker 4: promotes quote, these superstitions that bring us backwards and away 2002 01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:33,920 Speaker 4: from science. Well, it's like, look, if you look at Christianity, 2003 01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:37,560 Speaker 4: it has been immensely impassible for human dignity. It is 2004 01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:40,240 Speaker 4: promoted those universal truths that have allowed us to enjoy 2005 01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:42,639 Speaker 4: the very freedoms we have today. I mean, we see 2006 01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:46,439 Speaker 4: this as you know Thomas Aquinas who argues that you know, 2007 01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:50,240 Speaker 4: reason and faith are one and the same. The ability 2008 01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:52,960 Speaker 4: to reason is a gift from God. So when you 2009 01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:57,679 Speaker 4: have young people today being told that being religious or 2010 01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:02,759 Speaker 4: being a person of faith is backward, they fundamentally deny 2011 01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:06,120 Speaker 4: the fruits of what and the very wisdom of Western civilization. 2012 01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:10,160 Speaker 4: They deny the very principles that allow us to get 2013 01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:13,240 Speaker 4: to this very own place. What's and that's the best 2014 01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,920 Speaker 4: part about being a person of face is you see 2015 01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:19,240 Speaker 4: all this once you open your eyes. Because another important 2016 01:53:19,240 --> 01:53:23,439 Speaker 4: thing is what new atheism failed, that is driving gen 2017 01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:27,800 Speaker 4: z towards faiths. It's failed to give us purpose. Why 2018 01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:29,720 Speaker 4: are we here on this earth? Why are we doing 2019 01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:32,639 Speaker 4: the things we're doing? What is our ultimate goal in life? 2020 01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:37,920 Speaker 4: And religion? Has offers those answers. New atheism failed to 2021 01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:42,640 Speaker 4: funamlity address that question, which is what purpose do we 2022 01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:45,439 Speaker 4: have in our lives under Oswald? 2023 01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:48,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be an amazing conversation.

And 2029 01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:04,720 Speaker 1: maybe you just now stumbled upon the reality of why 2030 01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:09,000 Speaker 1: they hate religion because that Christian faith through Judeo Christian 2031 01:54:09,040 --> 01:54:12,439 Speaker 1: ethic built Western civilization. What are the Marxists and leftists 2032 01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:16,000 Speaker 1: hate more than anything in the world Western civilization period? 2033 01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,160 Speaker 1: End of story. So we got to attack the root 2034 01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,240 Speaker 1: cause of it. Maybe that's one of the reasons. 2035 01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:25,000 Speaker 4: Why absolutely yeah, no, and and I hope to see 2036 01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,759 Speaker 4: everybody there, and we'll be having even more discussions about 2037 01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,960 Speaker 4: what conservatives that means means today for gen Z, the 2038 01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,080 Speaker 4: future of gen Z conservative as such, and what can 2039 01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:37,240 Speaker 4: we learn especially to bridge the gap between order conservatives, 2040 01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:40,960 Speaker 4: younger since conservatives and hopefully bring about even brighter future 2041 01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:42,320 Speaker 4: for everybody. 2042 01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,480 Speaker 1: From boomers to millennials to the gen zers.

Enjoy the seminar tonight. It's eight 2050 01:54:58,960 --> 01:55:01,800 Speaker 1: twenty one right now, folks. Jay Rattler C Detalk Station. 2051 01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,200 Speaker 1: It is a very happy Thursday, as it always is 2052 01:55:04,240 --> 01:55:05,880 Speaker 1: at this time because we get to talk to unless 2053 01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:08,840 Speaker 1: he's on vacation like last week or out. I heart 2054 01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:12,120 Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay Roratliff. Welcome back, my friend. You 2055 01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:13,160 Speaker 1: know I love talking with you. 2056 01:55:14,080 --> 01:55:14,280 Speaker 2: Man. 2057 01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:19,160 Speaker 10: You take one vacation in a blue moon, somebody smacking 2058 01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:21,400 Speaker 10: your chops could be back. 2059 01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:23,440 Speaker 1: I can't wreck. I don't think we had anybody filling 2060 01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:25,720 Speaker 1: in for this segment in the last week's show, so 2061 01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:27,600 Speaker 1: you sort of leave me to my own devices, and 2062 01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:30,440 Speaker 1: I'd much rather have a guest on. And I love 2063 01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:33,680 Speaker 1: our conversations because again they typically are light. But let's 2064 01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:35,680 Speaker 1: start with one that's not so light. Oh my god, 2065 01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:41,560 Speaker 1: We're all gonna die. According to the US Travel Association president, 2066 01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:45,160 Speaker 1: a guy named Joff Freeman. He said US Travel Association, 2067 01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:49,040 Speaker 1: this is costing US one billion dollars in a counter week. 2068 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:52,839 Speaker 1: Travel is inovation longer, tsa line, flight delays, airports reducing flights, 2069 01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:55,920 Speaker 1: entire controlled covers going dark longer. This drags on the 2070 01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:58,360 Speaker 1: worst cascade. The damage will be for local communities, for 2071 01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:01,320 Speaker 1: small businesses, and for the country. His group claims US 2072 01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:04,960 Speaker 1: economy lost one or losing one billion dollars per week 2073 01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:08,840 Speaker 1: because of those issues. Yet Willie Wallace, a director and 2074 01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:13,720 Speaker 1: general airline lobby group the International Air Transportations Association, said no, 2075 01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:17,440 Speaker 1: there's been no significant disruption. There has been no stop 2076 01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:19,600 Speaker 1: in the recruitment of new air traffic controllers. There were 2077 01:56:19,640 --> 01:56:23,080 Speaker 1: no significant impacts to date. So who's right on this one? Jay? 2078 01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:26,800 Speaker 10: I'm assuming the former did not vote for Donald Trump. 2079 01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:30,960 Speaker 10: That's just going out there on a limb. But the 2080 01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:35,040 Speaker 10: last few days I've had several TV and radio interviews 2081 01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:37,880 Speaker 10: where people are freaking out over the fact that the 2082 01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:42,040 Speaker 10: Burbank Airport had no air traffic controllers and we had 2083 01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:45,120 Speaker 10: to pivot and have another air traffic control center. Take 2084 01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:47,480 Speaker 10: care of the arrivals and departures at that airport. It's 2085 01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:50,760 Speaker 10: as though this guy is falling. It happened in Nashville 2086 01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:53,400 Speaker 10: where we had a shortage, so and of course I've 2087 01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:55,760 Speaker 10: got my referee shirt on the whistle and I'm blowing 2088 01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:58,360 Speaker 10: a time out trying to get these people to stop, 2089 01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,640 Speaker 10: so I can tell them that in the last nine months, Brian, 2090 01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:03,960 Speaker 10: that's happened a thousand times, right. 2091 01:57:04,120 --> 01:57:06,240 Speaker 1: Well, and didn't Bourbon close a bunch of times in 2092 01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:07,800 Speaker 1: events of this as well, because. 2093 01:57:07,560 --> 01:57:10,280 Speaker 10: It does, it does, and we've got we've got redundancies, 2094 01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:13,960 Speaker 10: we've got sistems in place, procedures in place, and it's like, 2095 01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:16,800 Speaker 10: wait a minute, if this is such a big time issue, 2096 01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:21,120 Speaker 10: now where were you the other thousand times it happened 2097 01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:25,120 Speaker 10: in just the last nine months. So it's it's an 2098 01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:30,560 Speaker 10: obvious to me and not surprisingly moved by people that 2099 01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:34,000 Speaker 10: are trying to push back on the administration saying that 2100 01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:37,320 Speaker 10: you know, this is endangering the lives of everybody who flies, 2101 01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:39,360 Speaker 10: and it's it's it's a horrific time to fly, and 2102 01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,200 Speaker 10: all this is taking place, and I'm saying, no, it's 2103 01:57:42,240 --> 01:57:44,840 Speaker 10: being brought upon because we have a shortage of bear 2104 01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:48,240 Speaker 10: traffic controllers, period, and that's why all of those thousand 2105 01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:50,920 Speaker 10: occurrences took place, and that's why it's happening now. 2106 01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:51,320 Speaker 5: Now. 2107 01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,040 Speaker 10: It's a little bit different now, And Brian, I can 2108 01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:55,840 Speaker 10: certainly understand. You have a lot of men and women 2109 01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:58,040 Speaker 10: who are going to get a partial paycheck on Tuesday 2110 01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:00,440 Speaker 10: the fourteenth, and then two weeks at after that, on 2111 01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:02,360 Speaker 10: the twenty eight they're going to get hit no paycheck. 2112 01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:05,480 Speaker 10: And these air traffic controllers are being asked to show 2113 01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:08,720 Speaker 10: up to work and their pay is to be delayed. 2114 01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:12,200 Speaker 10: And some of them are saying, and I know this 2115 01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,640 Speaker 10: to be the case. I've got bills to pay, I've 2116 01:58:14,640 --> 01:58:16,440 Speaker 10: got to put food on the table, and I don't 2117 01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:19,800 Speaker 10: have six weeks of income saved up. I do have 2118 01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:21,960 Speaker 10: a secondary job. I can go do that. I'll get 2119 01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:24,360 Speaker 10: paid right now. For so I'm going to call in 2120 01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:26,840 Speaker 10: sick even though I don't want to, and I'm going 2121 01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:28,640 Speaker 10: to go work where I know I'm gonna get paid. 2122 01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:32,200 Speaker 10: So I've got the money to survive on because that's 2123 01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:35,600 Speaker 10: what I'm forced to do. So I'm certainly not going 2124 01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:38,040 Speaker 10: to fault the men and women if that's the route 2125 01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:40,560 Speaker 10: they've got to go. To the air traffic controllers. They're 2126 01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:45,320 Speaker 10: already overworked, they're being forced into overtime, they're morale is down, 2127 01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:49,160 Speaker 10: they're using equipment that is just beyond archaic. So there's 2128 01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:51,240 Speaker 10: a lot of things right there that I do understand. 2129 01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:51,480 Speaker 5: Now. 2130 01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:54,160 Speaker 10: I wish they wouldn't do it because that puts a 2131 01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,880 Speaker 10: strain on the people that they're working with. But when 2132 01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:59,160 Speaker 10: it comes down to should I be there for my 2133 01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,560 Speaker 10: teammates that I'm working with, or do I need to 2134 01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:03,560 Speaker 10: make sure I've got food on the table for my kids, 2135 01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:06,200 Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I know which way that's going to go 2136 01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:09,920 Speaker 10: each and every time. So the bottom line is we're 2137 01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:12,200 Speaker 10: six weeks away from the busiest travel week of the year. 2138 01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:16,080 Speaker 10: We've got to get this resolved now so that we 2139 01:59:16,200 --> 01:59:19,480 Speaker 10: don't get into November and start having an issue with 2140 01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:22,440 Speaker 10: uh oh, having this type of a scenario take place 2141 01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,520 Speaker 10: when it's the busiest travel time, that's when we will 2142 01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:26,160 Speaker 10: have a problem. 2143 01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:30,040 Speaker 1: We'll continue with iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff, including a 2144 01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:33,440 Speaker 1: common or two on West Jet figuring out yet another 2145 01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:36,840 Speaker 1: way to anger its passengers eight thirty five Right now 2146 01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:39,960 Speaker 1: fifty five k c DE talk station see a thirty 2147 01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:43,040 Speaker 1: seven fifty five car CD talk station. iHeart meat. Aviation 2148 01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:45,960 Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratliff definitely has. We are fortunate to have 2149 01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:48,040 Speaker 1: them every week on the fifty five CARSCEN Morning Show 2150 01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:50,080 Speaker 1: beginning at eight thirty through the end of the program. 2151 01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:54,040 Speaker 1: And let's pivot over to cigarettes buggling. Oh my god, 2152 01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:56,879 Speaker 1: the Russians are shutting down airspace. It's the Chinese Communist 2153 01:59:56,960 --> 02:00:00,360 Speaker 1: Party with a drone strike. Uh, maybe it isn't. Maybe 2154 02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:03,120 Speaker 1: it's people who don't want to pay taxes on cigarettes. 2155 02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:04,160 Speaker 1: This is kind of crazy. 2156 02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:04,440 Speaker 5: Jay. 2157 02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:06,680 Speaker 1: I saw the reporting on this when it first came out, 2158 02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:08,879 Speaker 1: a cigarette delay. 2159 02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:11,200 Speaker 10: You know, I'm trying to figure out what delay code 2160 02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:13,240 Speaker 10: we could have used with this. But he had an 2161 02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:16,320 Speaker 10: airport Lithuania shut down because of the fact that it 2162 02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:19,840 Speaker 10: was unsafe for aircraft to approach the airport because they 2163 02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:22,840 Speaker 10: had I think it was twenty five balloons, large ones 2164 02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:27,280 Speaker 10: that had been lifted off that were in essence carrying 2165 02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:31,720 Speaker 10: cigarettes that were being smuggled, and it affected about thirty 2166 02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:33,840 Speaker 10: some flights that were coming in. They said thousands of 2167 02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:36,840 Speaker 10: passengers were impacted by this because the fact that they 2168 02:00:36,840 --> 02:00:40,080 Speaker 10: had so many balloons in that airspace that represented a 2169 02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:43,840 Speaker 10: problem for approaching aircraft, and it's you know, I think 2170 02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:46,320 Speaker 10: the only other bizarre kind of story would be like 2171 02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:48,840 Speaker 10: if you went back a gazillion years ago to the 2172 02:00:48,840 --> 02:00:54,040 Speaker 10: man that put a bunch of balloons, healing balloons onto 2173 02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:56,000 Speaker 10: his lunchair and lifted himself up. 2174 02:00:56,880 --> 02:00:59,440 Speaker 1: I remember that, and up and up, Brian. 2175 02:00:59,480 --> 02:01:02,080 Speaker 10: I think he he got up to like fifteen thousand feet. 2176 02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:04,000 Speaker 10: I'm crazy in a lawn chair. 2177 02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:06,000 Speaker 1: Did he have a big did he have an air 2178 02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:08,320 Speaker 1: rifle with him to shoot the balloon one of the time? 2179 02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:10,360 Speaker 5: That way he could come down. 2180 02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:12,280 Speaker 10: His wife's on the radio, tell him to come down. 2181 02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:13,320 Speaker 9: And look. 2182 02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:16,960 Speaker 10: I was a skydiver for a bunch of years, but 2183 02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:19,800 Speaker 10: I'm not a big fan of heights, So the thought 2184 02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:25,000 Speaker 10: is going up in a lawn chair to any altitude 2185 02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:28,480 Speaker 10: like that. I mean, I'm sorry, that's just crazy. But yes, 2186 02:01:29,040 --> 02:01:32,800 Speaker 10: the cigarette smuggling balloon situation that shut down an airport 2187 02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:35,360 Speaker 10: is certainly one of the reasons I'll never tell you 2188 02:01:35,400 --> 02:01:39,000 Speaker 10: that that you know, I've seen it all because you 2189 02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:42,000 Speaker 10: never underestimate people in what they're capable of doing. 2190 02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:44,760 Speaker 1: Ever, no doubt about it. And I guess it's kind 2191 02:01:44,760 --> 02:01:48,400 Speaker 1: of funny that was an extraordinarily low budget smuggling effort, 2192 02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:51,040 Speaker 1: considering they just used helium balloons. If they had gotten 2193 02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:53,400 Speaker 1: an actual drone, they probably would have been far more 2194 02:01:53,440 --> 02:01:56,879 Speaker 1: successful getting the cigarettes to the location they wanted to 2195 02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:57,480 Speaker 1: send them to. 2196 02:01:58,440 --> 02:02:00,360 Speaker 10: That's kind of hard to control where a balloon goes 2197 02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:03,120 Speaker 10: to somebody, I know, yeah, and where they're going to 2198 02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:05,960 Speaker 10: land and such. So I guess it's a crapshoot which 2199 02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:06,880 Speaker 10: way things are going to go. 2200 02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:08,600 Speaker 5: But you know who knows. 2201 02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:11,640 Speaker 10: You probably laugh at the people that were doing it 2202 02:02:11,680 --> 02:02:13,880 Speaker 10: because they may not have had well, they had enough 2203 02:02:13,960 --> 02:02:16,240 Speaker 10: intelligence to get the thing's airborn, So I got to 2204 02:02:16,280 --> 02:02:17,200 Speaker 10: give them credit for that. 2205 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Okay, And you're how many? I hate to put you 2206 02:02:19,960 --> 02:02:21,200 Speaker 1: on the spot, but I know how would you are? 2207 02:02:21,240 --> 02:02:22,760 Speaker 1: You don't have to say it. Let me a cur 2208 02:02:23,120 --> 02:02:28,000 Speaker 1: How many decades have you been in the aviation business field? Expertise, 2209 02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:29,640 Speaker 1: knowledge and that kind of thing. How long have you 2210 02:02:29,680 --> 02:02:31,640 Speaker 1: been following closely aviation? 2211 02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:35,720 Speaker 10: Well, I started working in nineteen eighty. 2212 02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:37,680 Speaker 5: One, in October. Okay, so I've been associate. 2213 02:02:37,720 --> 02:02:40,240 Speaker 10: I've been associated with the airline industry going back to 2214 02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:43,520 Speaker 10: just after deregulation took place in nineteen seventy eight. 2215 02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:47,320 Speaker 1: On planes, in planes, in management, and variety of different roles. 2216 02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:49,360 Speaker 1: You've seen it all, so I guess that's the predicate 2217 02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:55,080 Speaker 1: for my question. Not all, but yeah, Well, like cigarette smuggling, balloons, 2218 02:02:55,120 --> 02:02:57,520 Speaker 1: say down airports, every day is a new day with 2219 02:02:57,640 --> 02:03:03,200 Speaker 1: that caveat. I see another article headline drunk New Jersey's 2220 02:03:03,240 --> 02:03:06,640 Speaker 1: sisters arrested after meltdown for being kicked off Frontier Airline's 2221 02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:08,840 Speaker 1: flight and attacking a worker. And this is all on 2222 02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:14,200 Speaker 1: body camera footage. Now, this is one among a seemingly 2223 02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,240 Speaker 1: endless number of incidents like this where people get out 2224 02:03:17,240 --> 02:03:20,400 Speaker 1: of hand, they start getting all punching and fighty and belligerent, 2225 02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:23,280 Speaker 1: and they get chucked off of an airline. Is it 2226 02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:28,880 Speaker 1: just the internet and pervasive, ubiquitous nature of cell phone 2227 02:03:28,920 --> 02:03:32,040 Speaker 1: cameras that we are aware of this, or has this 2228 02:03:32,960 --> 02:03:36,360 Speaker 1: a newer phenomenon? Is this becoming far more frequent because 2229 02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:40,600 Speaker 1: people getting kind of disrespectful of authority figures and really 2230 02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:43,560 Speaker 1: not have any sense of ethics and morality. That is 2231 02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:45,520 Speaker 1: a common problem across the board that appears to be growing. 2232 02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, in so far as airline incidents, is 2233 02:03:47,920 --> 02:03:49,680 Speaker 1: it a growing phenomenon? 2234 02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:54,400 Speaker 10: I think to a certain degree, it is, but it's not. 2235 02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:57,280 Speaker 10: I mean, we were dealing with it back in the eighties, 2236 02:03:57,360 --> 02:04:00,880 Speaker 10: rights in the nineties, because we would always have individuals 2237 02:04:00,920 --> 02:04:03,640 Speaker 10: that had a disrespect for authority, didn't want to be 2238 02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:06,320 Speaker 10: told what to do, and different types of things where 2239 02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:11,000 Speaker 10: they were just absolute, very difficult people to work with. 2240 02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:14,800 Speaker 10: And sadly, sometimes that took place when the aircraft was airborne. 2241 02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:17,680 Speaker 10: A lot of times it was alcohol involved, and you 2242 02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:21,320 Speaker 10: had a lot of situations that required us to kind of, 2243 02:04:21,400 --> 02:04:23,440 Speaker 10: you know, pivot with regards to what was going on 2244 02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:25,520 Speaker 10: with the aircraft, the operations, or. 2245 02:04:25,480 --> 02:04:26,360 Speaker 5: Things of this nature. 2246 02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:29,480 Speaker 10: It becomes much more of an issue now because with 2247 02:04:29,680 --> 02:04:33,959 Speaker 10: the advent of everybody having the ability or to record 2248 02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:38,480 Speaker 10: what's happening and then post it immediately, where a situation 2249 02:04:38,600 --> 02:04:41,760 Speaker 10: goes viral, not once it hits the mainstream press, but 2250 02:04:41,840 --> 02:04:44,360 Speaker 10: once it hits social media and it's shared around the world, 2251 02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:46,920 Speaker 10: it becomes much more of an issue that people are 2252 02:04:46,920 --> 02:04:49,880 Speaker 10: aware of, and sadly, we're seeing, you know, more and 2253 02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:52,760 Speaker 10: more examples of this front and center, where you've got 2254 02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:56,720 Speaker 10: these individuals that are telling uniform flight attendant they're not 2255 02:04:56,760 --> 02:04:58,440 Speaker 10: going to do what they're being told to do, which 2256 02:04:58,480 --> 02:05:01,520 Speaker 10: is a federal offense. Are causing a situation where an 2257 02:05:01,560 --> 02:05:05,320 Speaker 10: aircraft is delayed in departing, or creates a diversion, or 2258 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:07,960 Speaker 10: any of these other things. And Brian, it's when you 2259 02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:14,240 Speaker 10: have individuals that attack passengers, shove flight attendants, rush the cockpit, 2260 02:05:14,320 --> 02:05:17,120 Speaker 10: whatever it might happen to be. These people are clearly 2261 02:05:17,240 --> 02:05:19,640 Speaker 10: in individuals that should not be flying on any US 2262 02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:23,560 Speaker 10: carrier in the country. Sadly, these two individuals from Frontier 2263 02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:26,400 Speaker 10: will be banned for life from flying Frontier, thank you. 2264 02:05:26,440 --> 02:05:29,120 Speaker 10: They should be, but they're free to fly any other carrier. 2265 02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:31,080 Speaker 10: And you and I've talked about this so many tis 2266 02:05:32,240 --> 02:05:36,080 Speaker 10: why are we going to allow knowingly these individuals to 2267 02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:39,320 Speaker 10: fly on other carriers? And there needs to be some 2268 02:05:39,320 --> 02:05:42,960 Speaker 10: sort of consequence if you act up, if it's an argument, 2269 02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:44,720 Speaker 10: you're having a bad day. Believe now, I don't want 2270 02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:47,280 Speaker 10: to ban you from flying, but if I shove a 2271 02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:50,360 Speaker 10: flight attendant or I attack a passenger, I should be 2272 02:05:50,480 --> 02:05:52,920 Speaker 10: you know, putting time out fly wise for like three 2273 02:05:52,920 --> 02:05:56,560 Speaker 10: to five years. I don't think that's anything that's outside 2274 02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,480 Speaker 10: the the you know, it would be considered extreme here, 2275 02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,520 Speaker 10: but airlines won't do it because it costs them money 2276 02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:05,560 Speaker 10: to track it, and that's why they say that they 2277 02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:06,440 Speaker 10: refuse to do it. 2278 02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:08,320 Speaker 1: We got a no fly list, jay ry love. If 2279 02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,600 Speaker 1: if they can track no fly lists, which obviously are 2280 02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:12,640 Speaker 1: bigger and contain people who don't deserve to be on 2281 02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,840 Speaker 1: the no fly list because of errors in government, they 2282 02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:17,280 Speaker 1: can have a list like this. Is this something the 2283 02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:19,960 Speaker 1: FAA could mandate if they chose to do so. 2284 02:06:20,440 --> 02:06:22,640 Speaker 10: Oh they could, they could. The problem is the airlines 2285 02:06:22,680 --> 02:06:24,840 Speaker 10: tell their government what they're going to do instead of 2286 02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:29,520 Speaker 10: the other way around. And we're in a very residential 2287 02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:35,040 Speaker 10: administration friendly environment here where everybody gets along and everybody 2288 02:06:35,480 --> 02:06:38,640 Speaker 10: kind of can push things. And this is not the administration, 2289 02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:41,400 Speaker 10: even though I'm a big fantom of the Trump administration 2290 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:44,760 Speaker 10: what he's doing. They're not going to be held accountable 2291 02:06:44,920 --> 02:06:46,960 Speaker 10: and to be forced to do this type of thing, 2292 02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:49,440 Speaker 10: even though they should. And that's why when I see 2293 02:06:49,480 --> 02:06:52,360 Speaker 10: all these CEOs from airlines talking about how much they 2294 02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:54,920 Speaker 10: care about their passengers and employees, I just want to 2295 02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:58,720 Speaker 10: throw up because I'm thinking, stop it, because you're saying 2296 02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:01,560 Speaker 10: one thing and then doing something completely different. If you 2297 02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:03,800 Speaker 10: really cared about your employees and you really wanted to 2298 02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:06,240 Speaker 10: protect them. You would spend whatever money it took to 2299 02:07:06,360 --> 02:07:10,760 Speaker 10: keep these individuals that have been convicted of these types 2300 02:07:10,800 --> 02:07:13,880 Speaker 10: of actions off of your flight, and if it happened 2301 02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:16,280 Speaker 10: on a Southwest flight, you're making sure they don't fly 2302 02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:19,520 Speaker 10: you on American or Delta or United or South South 2303 02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:22,320 Speaker 10: trus whatever it is. But we're not doing it. During 2304 02:07:22,320 --> 02:07:26,000 Speaker 10: the pandemic. The airlines were asked early on to provide 2305 02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:28,800 Speaker 10: and track information and give it to the government, and 2306 02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:30,640 Speaker 10: they said, well, we don't have the main power to 2307 02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:32,920 Speaker 10: do it. And they said, well, this could help us 2308 02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:35,600 Speaker 10: actually prevent the spread of COVID if we could have 2309 02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:39,000 Speaker 10: this information. I'm sorry, we're not going to be able 2310 02:07:39,040 --> 02:07:42,640 Speaker 10: to do it. Again, the airlines telling the government what they're. 2311 02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:44,360 Speaker 5: Going to do instead of the other way around. 2312 02:07:44,520 --> 02:07:47,840 Speaker 1: That's amazing. And to your point earlier, I don't care 2313 02:07:47,880 --> 02:07:51,040 Speaker 1: how bad a day you're having. Nothing can justify you 2314 02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:54,480 Speaker 1: assaulting or battering another human being that has no connection 2315 02:07:54,600 --> 02:07:57,040 Speaker 1: with your bad day. Well and more with, we're going 2316 02:07:57,080 --> 02:07:59,760 Speaker 1: to find out how many ways you can anger a 2317 02:07:59,760 --> 02:08:02,680 Speaker 1: c We're West Jet creating a new way to anger 2318 02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:05,840 Speaker 1: its air traffic passengers plus hub delays are going to 2319 02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:07,360 Speaker 1: find out how good it is to travel today more 2320 02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:10,400 Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliff. After this brief word these brief words 2321 02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:14,040 Speaker 1: from plan if any five t c DE talk station 2322 02:08:14,560 --> 02:08:17,720 Speaker 1: one more time, I heart me. The aviation expert Jay 2323 02:08:17,760 --> 02:08:21,360 Speaker 1: Ryloff intentionally held on the the goofiest and the dumbest 2324 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:23,120 Speaker 1: for the last. Jay, you gave me a heads up 2325 02:08:23,120 --> 02:08:25,560 Speaker 1: on this one yesterday. My reactions is like, you've got 2326 02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:28,760 Speaker 1: to be kidding me. Tell them what west Jet's doing. 2327 02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:30,800 Speaker 5: Now, Well, they have. 2328 02:08:33,120 --> 02:08:38,560 Speaker 10: They've decided to give passengers the opportunity to take advantage 2329 02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:41,080 Speaker 10: of a premium seating option on their flights. 2330 02:08:41,120 --> 02:08:44,080 Speaker 1: Of course that's first class, right, that's first class premium 2331 02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:47,000 Speaker 1: seating they kind. 2332 02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:51,200 Speaker 10: Of I think read find the word premium Brian. In essence, 2333 02:08:51,360 --> 02:08:53,560 Speaker 10: if you want to seat the reclines, they're going to 2334 02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:57,520 Speaker 10: charge you more. Now, I mean, we we've talked about, 2335 02:08:57,600 --> 02:09:00,000 Speaker 10: oh my gosh, what are we being charges for oxygen? 2336 02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:02,600 Speaker 10: It used to be you could take any seat you wanted, 2337 02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:04,680 Speaker 10: and then they said, you know, people will actually pay 2338 02:09:04,760 --> 02:09:07,960 Speaker 10: money to get their seats assigned in advance, okay, and 2339 02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:10,160 Speaker 10: then they said, you know some people prefer window seats 2340 02:09:10,200 --> 02:09:12,280 Speaker 10: over middle seats, so we can start charging them more 2341 02:09:12,360 --> 02:09:14,600 Speaker 10: for that you know, some people prefer aisle seats, and 2342 02:09:14,600 --> 02:09:16,920 Speaker 10: then they decided let's give them a little bit more 2343 02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:19,040 Speaker 10: leg room, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now here's 2344 02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:21,000 Speaker 10: how this is going to be sold to the American 2345 02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:24,840 Speaker 10: traveling public. So many people, the airlines will say, are 2346 02:09:24,880 --> 02:09:28,720 Speaker 10: having fights over reclining seats and it's really creating a 2347 02:09:28,760 --> 02:09:32,720 Speaker 10: customer service problem. So us as the airline, we're going 2348 02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:35,600 Speaker 10: to make sure that we can alleviate those problems. So 2349 02:09:35,640 --> 02:09:40,080 Speaker 10: we will make every seat on the airplane incapable of reclining. 2350 02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:43,680 Speaker 10: We'll have them all this flight angle and everyone will 2351 02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:45,680 Speaker 10: have the same and nobody can recline it. So that's 2352 02:09:45,680 --> 02:09:47,760 Speaker 10: how we're going to take better care of our customer. 2353 02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:51,240 Speaker 10: Of course, ps in behind closed doors, they can now 2354 02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:54,120 Speaker 10: put an extra two rows on every aircraft so they 2355 02:09:54,120 --> 02:09:57,160 Speaker 10: can make more revenue. Okay, that's the reason they do it. 2356 02:09:57,440 --> 02:09:59,000 Speaker 10: So now they're going to say, we're going to give 2357 02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:01,120 Speaker 10: you some premium seat in west Jet I think it's 2358 02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:03,880 Speaker 10: twelve seats per seven thirty seven that they're going to 2359 02:10:03,960 --> 02:10:07,520 Speaker 10: have this on. You can actually pay for these seats 2360 02:10:07,520 --> 02:10:10,400 Speaker 10: for the ability to recline, and that's going to be 2361 02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:15,120 Speaker 10: an additional service, and it just you know, and you know, 2362 02:10:15,280 --> 02:10:19,400 Speaker 10: congratulations to them for finding another way to squeeze more 2363 02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:22,640 Speaker 10: money out of us. Because from a business standpoint, it's like, 2364 02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:25,320 Speaker 10: you know, we used to check bags and it didn't 2365 02:10:25,320 --> 02:10:27,760 Speaker 10: cost us a penny. Now we have to pay for it. 2366 02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:29,760 Speaker 10: We used to actually be able to carry bags on 2367 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:32,640 Speaker 10: an airplane, Now we got to pay for it. We 2368 02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:34,160 Speaker 10: actually used to be able to sit in the seat 2369 02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:36,120 Speaker 10: that had a little button that could push us let 2370 02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:39,160 Speaker 10: our seat recline for free. No, now we're gonna have 2371 02:10:39,240 --> 02:10:39,920 Speaker 10: to pay for it. 2372 02:10:40,040 --> 02:10:40,240 Speaker 5: Now. 2373 02:10:40,240 --> 02:10:42,640 Speaker 10: You watch what's going to happen here. West Jet is 2374 02:10:43,200 --> 02:10:48,760 Speaker 10: the first airline yep, the leader brother, buckle up and 2375 02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:49,959 Speaker 10: brace for impact. 2376 02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:54,360 Speaker 1: This reminded me of the I think BMWEN the first 2377 02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:57,120 Speaker 1: automat auto manufacturer. But it's kind of become a popular 2378 02:10:57,160 --> 02:11:00,840 Speaker 1: thing to equip the cars with all the technology but 2379 02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:03,360 Speaker 1: then charge you to actually activate it. 2380 02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:04,800 Speaker 5: So doubt. Yeah. 2381 02:11:04,880 --> 02:11:06,960 Speaker 1: So like a heated seat, it's in there, but you 2382 02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:09,200 Speaker 1: got to pay fifty bucks a month or whatever under 2383 02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:12,360 Speaker 1: some performance package to make it work. So my question, 2384 02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:14,800 Speaker 1: insofar as the seats are concerned, you mentioned the button, 2385 02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:18,840 Speaker 1: are they just going to disable the reclined mechanism, so 2386 02:11:18,920 --> 02:11:21,320 Speaker 1: that saves them having to replace the seats. So the 2387 02:11:21,360 --> 02:11:24,840 Speaker 1: technologies in there, it's just been blocked out. Or are 2388 02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:27,240 Speaker 1: they actually going to change the seats out to be fixed. 2389 02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:29,480 Speaker 5: I don't think they change the seats out. 2390 02:11:29,520 --> 02:11:31,960 Speaker 10: I think that would make it because it would be 2391 02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:35,400 Speaker 10: too expensive. But I'll tell you this, as future airplanes 2392 02:11:35,440 --> 02:11:39,240 Speaker 10: are ordered, you will have airplanes with these seats with 2393 02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:42,360 Speaker 10: the slight recline that there's no way they can be reclined. 2394 02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:44,880 Speaker 10: And of course, some people have these knee blocker type 2395 02:11:44,880 --> 02:11:47,840 Speaker 10: devices that you can buy and I'm not advocating you 2396 02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:50,480 Speaker 10: do this, and you can actually put it in the 2397 02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:53,320 Speaker 10: seat in front of you that prevents the seat from reclining. 2398 02:11:54,480 --> 02:11:58,320 Speaker 10: And yeah, the knee blockers or whatever they're called, if 2399 02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:00,800 Speaker 10: flight attendants really get upset us when we use them, 2400 02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:02,760 Speaker 10: because when somebody tries to reclient a seat and can't 2401 02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:05,880 Speaker 10: and has found out what happened, you know, probably the 2402 02:12:05,880 --> 02:12:07,280 Speaker 10: person before you put them on. 2403 02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,800 Speaker 1: They're not you, but right it becomes. 2404 02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:12,680 Speaker 10: It becomes I'm not suggesting you do this, but it's 2405 02:12:12,720 --> 02:12:15,880 Speaker 10: it's airlines are getting tired of, you know, some of 2406 02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:17,760 Speaker 10: the stuff that flight attendants have to deal with, and 2407 02:12:17,800 --> 02:12:20,920 Speaker 10: certainly flight attendants are getting tired of being the referee 2408 02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:23,680 Speaker 10: between people that reclient seats, don't reclined seats, and all 2409 02:12:23,720 --> 02:12:25,800 Speaker 10: this and that, because there's a lot of arguments and 2410 02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:29,600 Speaker 10: a lot of the low cost carriers have aircraft that again, 2411 02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:32,200 Speaker 10: the seats don't recline, They've got a slight recline to them, 2412 02:12:32,600 --> 02:12:35,360 Speaker 10: and they're not super comfortable seats, but you're not in 2413 02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:38,600 Speaker 10: them for an extended period of time, and they're lightweight, 2414 02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:40,840 Speaker 10: and they can also put more seats on the airplane. 2415 02:12:40,880 --> 02:12:42,240 Speaker 5: So that's the case. 2416 02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:45,600 Speaker 10: But when I when I saw that, I thought, oh, 2417 02:12:45,680 --> 02:12:48,040 Speaker 10: you gotta be kidding me. One I thought, why didn't 2418 02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:51,920 Speaker 10: I think of that? Because you know it's something, because 2419 02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:54,200 Speaker 10: it's so ridiculous, Sure we're going to do it. 2420 02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:57,520 Speaker 1: There's a lot of experts I could use on that 2421 02:12:57,720 --> 02:13:01,320 Speaker 1: was because you're not, say, a jerk, you didn't think 2422 02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:04,440 Speaker 1: of that because you would find the concept to be 2423 02:13:04,520 --> 02:13:07,160 Speaker 1: offensive to the consumer. Anyway. 2424 02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:08,680 Speaker 5: You and I are not wired dead way, brothers. 2425 02:13:08,800 --> 02:13:11,960 Speaker 1: No we are not. No, we are not, as we 2426 02:13:12,080 --> 02:13:14,560 Speaker 1: always Let's talk about hub delays. What's it looking like 2427 02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:18,160 Speaker 1: out there today for travel? Jay Ratlift, This entire. 2428 02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:21,120 Speaker 10: Week has been a mess because especially with some weather 2429 02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:24,080 Speaker 10: that's been coming in off the Northeast. But today is difference, 2430 02:13:24,240 --> 02:13:27,160 Speaker 10: and I'm thrilled to say the mess in the northeast 2431 02:13:27,160 --> 02:13:30,760 Speaker 10: has gone. Really if if I was getting paid for delays, 2432 02:13:30,800 --> 02:13:33,440 Speaker 10: it would be it'd be a light day because Seattle 2433 02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:36,080 Speaker 10: is about the only airport hub that's going to be 2434 02:13:36,120 --> 02:13:38,720 Speaker 10: impacted because of weather. Everything else has been pretty well 2435 02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:41,400 Speaker 10: cleared out. Even I think some of the turbulent areas 2436 02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:44,280 Speaker 10: where we could be experienced turbulence have really subsided. So 2437 02:13:44,320 --> 02:13:46,040 Speaker 10: if you pick the day, you get like a triple 2438 02:13:46,080 --> 02:13:48,800 Speaker 10: gold star because it's just gonna be an incredible day 2439 02:13:48,840 --> 02:13:51,600 Speaker 10: to fly. You pick the perfect perfect day to take 2440 02:13:51,600 --> 02:13:51,760 Speaker 10: to this. 2441 02:13:51,840 --> 02:13:52,520 Speaker 5: Guys love it. 2442 02:13:52,600 --> 02:13:54,640 Speaker 1: We can end on a positive note and typically the 2443 02:13:54,760 --> 02:13:57,560 Speaker 1: entire conversation is positive. Jay Ratlift, love having you on 2444 02:13:57,600 --> 02:13:59,960 Speaker 1: the show Man. Look forward to next Thursday with an 2445 02:14:00,040 --> 02:14:05,400 Speaker 1: other air traffic or a airline report or aviation report, 2446 02:14:05,440 --> 02:14:08,360 Speaker 1: and as always, I hope you and your better half 2447 02:14:08,360 --> 02:14:10,800 Speaker 1: have a wonderful day and week.
