WEBVTT - Brian Thomas 10/6/26 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:03.160 Should I start talking like I'm on the air? Yeah, 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.380 go ahead. It's 5.06 this morning. I started having technical difficulties. 0:00:07.700 --> 0:00:09.879 Brian Thomas right here, host of the 55KRC Morning Show, 0:00:09.940 --> 0:00:13.980 and Russ Jackson endeavoring to fix the difficulties we're facing 0:00:14.020 --> 0:00:14.460 this morning. 0:00:14.500 --> 0:00:14.960 Am I on? 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:22.459 I'm on, apparently. Okay. Well, I still hear nothing. Anyway, 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.459 try to have a happy Tuesday. Off to a rough 0:00:24.540 --> 0:00:26.840 start this morning, which is not exactly what I was 0:00:26.860 --> 0:00:29.040 looking forward to. What I am looking forward to later 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.470 in the 55KRC Morning Show... The lineup. Today we get Dr. 0:00:32.510 --> 0:00:34.129 Jay Riss over. Of course, we're going to go through 0:00:34.150 --> 0:00:40.940 the empoweryouamerica.org website and find out what seminars are coming 0:00:40.979 --> 0:00:43.080 up this week. Sorry, I am a bit flustered right now. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.360 Don't like to get off on the wrong foot. 0:00:45.860 --> 0:00:46.360 Anyway, Dr. 0:00:46.380 --> 0:00:49.010 Jay, it's 7.05. Followed by, it is Tuesday, 7.30 with 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.430 Tom Zalastowski, We the People Convention. Tom Zalastowski, wethepeopleconvention.org is 0:00:53.470 --> 0:00:56.170 where you find Tom. I presume he's going to echo 0:00:56.230 --> 0:00:58.290 the sentiment that he's been echoing now for what seems 0:00:58.330 --> 0:01:00.090 like forever, which is get out and vote. Hey, it's 0:01:00.110 --> 0:01:02.490 early voting day. You can start today. Head on over 0:01:02.510 --> 0:01:04.390 to the Board of Elections. Cast your vote. Get it 0:01:04.430 --> 0:01:07.450 done and stop the mailing in your mailbox. I just 0:01:07.470 --> 0:01:09.870 parenthetically have to note, is there any point to the U.S. 0:01:09.890 --> 0:01:12.310 postal system anymore? I know that's a broad brush statement, 0:01:12.330 --> 0:01:14.350 but for the last couple of weeks, I go to 0:01:14.370 --> 0:01:18.540 the mailbox. There is nothing in there but junk. Nothing 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.120 of importance is mailed to the House anymore. you know, 0:01:21.140 --> 0:01:24.280 get all our bills electronically and just, can we just 0:01:24.300 --> 0:01:25.919 go down like a couple of days a week and 0:01:25.980 --> 0:01:27.680 just call it a day on that and maybe solve 0:01:27.700 --> 0:01:30.220 the problem of billions and billions of dollars of money 0:01:30.340 --> 0:01:33.320 lost every year by the postal system? Sorry, had to 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.690 do that. Anyway, Tom Zawistowski at 7.30, followed by the 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.630 inside scoop of Breitbart News, the return of Frances Martel, 0:01:40.650 --> 0:01:43.030 the international expert, which is really a great thing. I'm 0:01:43.290 --> 0:01:54.620 glad that she's coming on because Flavio Balasnaro, conservative, Flavio Balasnaro, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:02.340 beat socialist president Luiz Lula da Silva. This is in Brazil. Now, 0:02:02.380 --> 0:02:07.890 what makes this important is Brazil, full-on left-wing socialist, along 0:02:07.910 --> 0:02:11.250 with a lot of other former South American countries. Guess 0:02:11.290 --> 0:02:11.990 what's happening? 0:02:12.790 --> 0:02:13.070 Right. 0:02:13.790 --> 0:02:18.790 They're moving over to more conservatives. Brazil, the next one 0:02:19.030 --> 0:02:23.930 in line. Encouraging, if largely, unsung story of the last 0:02:23.970 --> 0:02:25.549 three years and the turn of the right by voters 0:02:25.590 --> 0:02:27.650 in Latin America. Brazil looks like it's going to be 0:02:27.690 --> 0:02:33.110 joining the march to conservatism and rejecting socialism. Wake up, America. 0:02:33.500 --> 0:02:35.700 Everybody else who's tried it is saying, you know what? 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:41.100 It sucks. Now, it wasn't an all-out victory. There's going 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.520 to be a runoff because he didn't get 50% of 0:02:42.540 --> 0:02:47.880 the vote. 47% compared to the leftist da Silva. Trailing 0:02:47.910 --> 0:02:50.090 with 45. Kind of close, but still, you've got to 0:02:50.110 --> 0:02:52.810 get 50%. So out go all the other candidates, and 0:02:52.850 --> 0:02:55.270 then you get a runoff between the two. And it looks, 0:02:55.330 --> 0:03:00.270 based upon the outcome of the election, that we're going 0:03:00.290 --> 0:03:04.690 to have one more country. The Senate also performed really 0:03:04.710 --> 0:03:07.510 well in terms of the right wing in Brazil. They 0:03:07.530 --> 0:03:11.350 call it the best electoral performance in 40 years. And 0:03:11.370 --> 0:03:12.810 guess what their voter turnout was? 0:03:12.810 --> 0:03:12.850 79%. 0:03:12.850 --> 0:03:14.929 I guess.... 0:03:16.610 --> 0:03:18.870 People are concerned in Brazil, the direction of the country, 0:03:18.930 --> 0:03:20.609 bringing out a lot of people to go ahead and run. 0:03:20.630 --> 0:03:25.060 So socialism failed in Latin America. And after this multiple races, 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:32.580 race after race of the last several years, since October, 2023, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.340 and Columbia have all thrown off the shackles of socialism 0:03:36.430 --> 0:03:40.390 and moved over to the more conservative right-wing folks. So 0:03:40.410 --> 0:03:42.790 it looks like Brazilians are looking like they want to 0:03:42.830 --> 0:03:45.770 have some fun too and freedom sells from the shackle 0:03:45.810 --> 0:03:48.970 of stupidity socialism is stupidity if you follow it you 0:03:48.990 --> 0:03:51.190 think it's good and right you have not studied the 0:03:51.230 --> 0:03:53.470 history you've not studied history and apparently you're not looking 0:03:53.510 --> 0:03:55.930 around you but the rest of the world is feeling 0:03:55.970 --> 0:04:00.870 about it it doesn't work people become miserable every talented 0:04:01.010 --> 0:04:04.750 person flees the country look what happened in venezuela of 0:04:04.810 --> 0:04:08.010 course donald trump is responsible for decapitating the leftist uh 0:04:08.070 --> 0:04:11.490 leader of venezuela but we'll see what happens, but the 0:04:11.530 --> 0:04:14.290 reality of what happened after the leftists took over is 0:04:14.330 --> 0:04:19.390 the intellectual genius of the country fled and went elsewhere. Gee, 0:04:19.430 --> 0:04:23.290 it's kind of like California. Kind of like Illinois. Kind 0:04:23.310 --> 0:04:26.110 of like New York. Why don't you step back from 0:04:26.170 --> 0:04:28.740 it and appreciate the fact that anybody who's worth a 0:04:28.860 --> 0:04:33.080 damn runs as far away from socialism as they possibly can. 0:04:33.260 --> 0:04:34.020 It's misery. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.020 Ugh. 0:04:35.890 --> 0:04:38.250 Anyhow sorry about that but francis martel is going to 0:04:38.270 --> 0:04:40.029 be diving on into that a little more detail and 0:04:40.070 --> 0:04:42.990 probably far more effective than i just did daniel davis 0:04:43.029 --> 0:04:46.690 deep dive after francis martel at 8 30 we'll hear 0:04:46.730 --> 0:04:50.180 from the retired colonel daniel davis the latest on iran 0:04:51.060 --> 0:04:53.839 and of course the houthis going after the saudi arabians 0:04:53.860 --> 0:04:57.400 we'll find out if that has um well uh if 0:04:57.420 --> 0:04:59.260 the saudis who are not starting to fight back and 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.460 looking for the united states assistance in that regard although 0:05:01.500 --> 0:05:04.000 so far it appears that we haven't provided it uh 0:05:04.020 --> 0:05:07.029 they do have a decent amount of planes the Saudis 0:05:07.070 --> 0:05:09.510 do so whether or not they can handle the challenge 0:05:10.110 --> 0:05:13.870 their petroleum production facilities are being targeted which is a 0:05:13.890 --> 0:05:16.380 real global problem you have the Ukrainians blowing up the 0:05:16.420 --> 0:05:19.779 diesel facilities in Russia you've got of course the Saudi 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.800 Arabian facilities being attacked by the Houthis and of course 0:05:22.860 --> 0:05:25.380 we have a huge problem globally with the cost of 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.400 everything including diesel but Donald Trump to the rescue yesterday 0:05:28.900 --> 0:05:30.870 ready now I don't know how this is going to 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.469 work oh I think we learned about red dye diesel 0:05:34.490 --> 0:05:37.680 and Some call it, I guess, heating oil, but it's 0:05:37.740 --> 0:05:40.140 also used in farm equipment. It is not subject to 0:05:40.180 --> 0:05:44.140 the federal tax. So semi-tractor trailer drivers, you're paying big 0:05:44.250 --> 0:05:46.750 fat tax when you pump in regular diesel. If you 0:05:46.830 --> 0:05:49.050 add a little bit of red dye to it, it's 0:05:49.190 --> 0:05:51.890 for farm use only. It's illegal to use that in 0:05:51.930 --> 0:05:56.490 a semi-tractor trailer because basically you're skirting the tax. But 0:05:56.550 --> 0:05:59.210 the stuff is the same as diesel from what I understand. 0:05:59.230 --> 0:06:01.530 If you know differently than that, please do inform me. 0:06:01.550 --> 0:06:01.770 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. 0:06:06.380 --> 0:06:09.640 So it's going to provide some immediate relief, and the 0:06:09.660 --> 0:06:14.730 administration claims that truckers could save more than $ 100 per refill. 0:06:14.810 --> 0:06:19.310 That is a sizable chunk of coin there. But if 0:06:19.390 --> 0:06:22.029 it's refined the same, and the only difference between diesel 0:06:22.070 --> 0:06:24.870 that you buy at a diesel fuel pump, which is 0:06:24.930 --> 0:06:28.000 subject to the tax up until a moment ago, and 0:06:28.070 --> 0:06:30.800 red dye diesel, which only differs because it's got that 0:06:30.900 --> 0:06:34.860 dye in it, thus freeing purchasers like the farmers who 0:06:34.900 --> 0:06:38.860 buy it for their tractors and whatever else runs on diesel. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.380 Isn't the supply problem the same? I mean, is there 0:06:45.500 --> 0:06:51.080 an abundance of red dye produced fuel versus regular diesel 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.940 that we're all clamoring for? I can't imagine there is. 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.500 My understanding, it's the same damn product with the exception 0:06:56.540 --> 0:07:00.200 of the dye addition, which one would think logically would 0:07:00.220 --> 0:07:02.490 make it cost more, at least in terms of production, 0:07:02.500 --> 0:07:04.770 because you're adding something to it that doesn't exist in 0:07:04.850 --> 0:07:07.409 regular diesel. But at least some relief. I mean, I 0:07:07.430 --> 0:07:11.470 can see that right away. And then sadly yesterday, and 0:07:11.510 --> 0:07:13.390 I say sadly because, you know what, if the Supreme 0:07:13.450 --> 0:07:20.020 Court goes 4-4 on this oil company liability decision out 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:25.520 of Colorado, we are screwed. Now, you recall ExxonMobil and 0:07:25.540 --> 0:07:28.710 Suncor Energy have been sued. Boulder claims the company's contributed 0:07:28.750 --> 0:07:33.300 to climate change, deceived customers about the risk of greenhouse gases, 0:07:33.340 --> 0:07:37.000 and just saying that out loud, it's just like, the 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.840 jury is still out on it. And nonetheless, they're being 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.920 sued for something that I don't think is even decided science. Nonetheless, 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.970 they were in front of the Supreme Court yesterday arguing 0:07:48.010 --> 0:07:52.550 about this. Sadly, the oil companies face some seriously skeptical questions. 0:07:53.590 --> 0:07:56.730 And because the leader recused himself, you're setting yourself up 0:07:56.750 --> 0:07:59.710 for a 4-4 split, at least ideologically. And then when 0:07:59.750 --> 0:08:01.690 you hear some of the questions of some of the justices, 0:08:01.710 --> 0:08:04.520 you're like, wait a minute. Conservative justices are asking questions 0:08:04.580 --> 0:08:09.300 which suggest the oil company's argument is not meritless, but 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:17.550 is on shaky ground. Multiple justices, including conservative and liberals, 0:08:17.710 --> 0:08:21.590 noted that state-based lawsuits are routinely used to target activities 0:08:21.610 --> 0:08:27.270 with widespread effects. They specifically outlawed mentioned tobacco litigation, asbestos litigation, 0:08:27.630 --> 0:08:32.890 opioid litigation, all of which went through and were prosecuted. 0:08:34.090 --> 0:08:37.560 So if that's their view of the litigation against the 0:08:37.620 --> 0:08:42.280 oil companies, and they side with the, well, Colorado in 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:47.500 this one, Boulder, the city of Boulder, Then, and it 0:08:47.540 --> 0:08:51.020 was noted during oral arguments yesterday, it's going to unleash, oh, something, 0:08:51.059 --> 0:08:59.689 I believe someone mentioned 90,000 separate lawsuits. You're never, ever 0:08:59.710 --> 0:09:02.910 going to survive that as a company. I know there 0:09:02.929 --> 0:09:05.430 are multi-billion dollar companies, but, you know, if the entire 0:09:05.510 --> 0:09:07.350 world comes down on them, and I mean that just 0:09:07.370 --> 0:09:09.790 within the United States because our tort liability is what 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.160 serves as the predicate for these lawsuits in the first place, 0:09:13.660 --> 0:09:16.200 but there's no way you can overcome that. I guess 0:09:16.220 --> 0:09:19.250 they'd have to declare bankruptcy. I really don't know, but 0:09:19.290 --> 0:09:24.130 some of the questions are really rather disturbing. Just as 0:09:24.170 --> 0:09:27.329 Neil Gorsuch among them, he seemed open to allowing at 0:09:27.370 --> 0:09:30.290 least some state-based claims for climate change to proceed. So 0:09:32.370 --> 0:09:34.740 we're going to have to wait a few months to 0:09:34.750 --> 0:09:37.480 get the answer to this one, but it was observed 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.000 yesterday only one member of the court, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, 0:09:40.020 --> 0:09:44.520 appeared clearly in the oil company's He said that prior 0:09:44.540 --> 0:09:47.069 Supreme Court cases have made clear that air and water 0:09:47.110 --> 0:09:50.229 pollution are exclusively federal, not state issues. This idea of 0:09:50.690 --> 0:09:55.670 federal preemption. As you might expect, the three liberal justices, 0:09:55.929 --> 0:10:00.929 uh sotomayor kagan and jackson brown jackson seem inclined to 0:10:00.970 --> 0:10:06.860 allow the lawsuits to move forward and kagan specifically expressing 0:10:06.910 --> 0:10:09.500 surprise about the oil company's argument that states should have 0:10:09.620 --> 0:10:13.120 no role in climate policy where's the support for that 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.339 where's the precedent for that where's anything for that so 0:10:17.490 --> 0:10:19.459 You can pretty much bet that three are going to 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.579 be squarely in the camp of Boulder, Colorado, which means 0:10:23.620 --> 0:10:25.420 we've got to sit patiently on our seats, on the 0:10:25.500 --> 0:10:27.819 edge of our seats, to find out which direction Gorsuch 0:10:27.860 --> 0:10:30.420 goes and maybe some of the other conservative justices who 0:10:30.540 --> 0:10:32.830 really aren't clear. I guess Thomas was maybe the only 0:10:32.950 --> 0:10:34.770 one who came out loud that sounded like he was 0:10:35.429 --> 0:10:39.609 convinced that the oil companies had no liability here or 0:10:39.630 --> 0:10:41.069 couldn't face state liability. 0:10:42.910 --> 0:10:43.290 I don't know. 0:10:43.390 --> 0:10:45.260 I'm a little worried about that one. I truly am. 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.790 I was hoping that it would... Oral arguments are oral arguments. 0:10:48.850 --> 0:10:51.190 You can't get a fully clear impression of which way 0:10:51.230 --> 0:10:54.120 the direction is or how the Supreme Court is going 0:10:54.140 --> 0:10:57.860 to ultimately rule. But it does allow you to draw 0:10:58.100 --> 0:11:01.239 some conclusions in terms of odds. And I don't like 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.000 the way the odds are, at least at this moment 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.589 in time. Patrick, you want to hold on just a second? 0:11:05.610 --> 0:11:07.090 I looked up and saw you're on the line. I'd 0:11:07.170 --> 0:11:08.429 love to hear from you. I've got to take a 0:11:08.450 --> 0:11:09.570 quick break, though. I'll be right back. 0:11:11.070 --> 0:11:11.250 Okay. 0:11:11.610 --> 0:11:14.130 Problems continue here on the 55KRC Morning Show. We'll see 0:11:14.150 --> 0:11:16.459 if we can't get things resolved. But apparently, without a 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.859 music bet, I can still do the weather. According to 0:11:18.900 --> 0:11:21.540 Channel 9, today's going to be a sunny day with 0:11:21.580 --> 0:11:23.920 a high of 71. Clear tonight, down to 48. Tomorrow, 0:11:23.940 --> 0:11:26.380 mostly sunny with a high of 80. Clear overnight, down 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:27.180 to 55. 0:11:27.179 --> 0:11:27.599 Thursday. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:36.870 Well, better late than never. Is that where we are, Russ? Thursday. 0:11:37.010 --> 0:11:40.980 Sunny and 78. Friday, sunny and 74. It's 43 degrees 0:11:41.020 --> 0:11:46.800 right now at 55 KRC Fox Station. I'm just going 0:11:46.820 --> 0:11:49.920 to go home. Listen to our lines tomorrow. Jim and 0:11:49.940 --> 0:11:54.020 Jack's on the river. Hope you can join us. Roughly 1130. 0:11:54.020 --> 0:11:55.939 Always a good time. Last one before the election. Jim 0:11:55.980 --> 0:11:57.679 and Jack's on the river. Did I mention today you 0:11:57.700 --> 0:12:00.360 can start voting early? Patrick was kind enough to hold 0:12:00.380 --> 0:12:02.420 over the break there. Thank you so much, Patrick. Give 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:03.840 me a hand here. Welcome to the show. 0:12:05.460 --> 0:12:07.660 Hey, good morning, Brian. Well, look at the bright side 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.230 of it. It can only get better from here. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.020 Yeah, I suppose. I will acknowledge I am not at 0:12:13.100 --> 0:12:15.120 rock bottom right now. I don't like to have my 0:12:15.179 --> 0:12:20.120 day disrupted, but you know what? A lot worse could happen. Exactly. 0:12:22.250 --> 0:12:25.829 If we didn't have bad times, it wouldn't make us appreciate. 0:12:25.350 --> 0:12:25.890 The good times. 0:12:25.970 --> 0:12:26.450 Amen, brother. 0:12:26.790 --> 0:12:27.709 I like that attitude. 0:12:29.330 --> 0:12:31.110 Yeah, the reason that I called is that you are 0:12:31.210 --> 0:12:35.040 correct on the off-road diesel. It is a reddish color. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.210 We have some yard meals that basically just transport trailers 0:12:39.270 --> 0:12:44.290 around our yard, and they use it, and they run 0:12:44.330 --> 0:12:47.690 just fine on it. But anything that's actually on the 0:12:47.730 --> 0:12:50.600 road has to have actual diesel, which then you're taxed, 0:12:50.650 --> 0:12:55.260 which obviously, you know, it impacts the shipping business, which 0:12:55.340 --> 0:12:57.000 impacts the cost of everything. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:57.480 Sure. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:02.160 Because, you know, as well as I do, that trucks transport. 0:13:03.020 --> 0:13:03.540 Everything, so. 0:13:04.940 --> 0:13:07.599 Well, believe me, Patrick, am I right that the only 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.380 difference between diesel on the road and the red dye 0:13:10.420 --> 0:13:12.920 diesel is the red dye? Now, I understand this stuff 0:13:12.970 --> 0:13:15.670 on the road. You must buy non-red dye because that's 0:13:15.690 --> 0:13:18.429 where the taxes are levied. I mean, that's the point. 0:13:18.450 --> 0:13:19.390 And you are correct on that. 0:13:19.470 --> 0:13:21.610 But it's the same thing. Okay, so moving over, if 0:13:21.650 --> 0:13:24.190 it's exactly the same thing except for the color and 0:13:24.210 --> 0:13:29.430 we've got a global diesel shortage, we still have effectively 0:13:29.570 --> 0:13:33.150 a global shortage of this particular product, whether it's red 0:13:33.290 --> 0:13:36.250 or the road. approved stuff right isn't the same isn't 0:13:36.270 --> 0:13:40.210 it coming from pretty much the same basket yes so 0:13:40.250 --> 0:13:43.250 does this change anything other than i guess yeah not 0:13:43.330 --> 0:13:46.109 charging the federal tax clearly but i you know in 0:13:46.150 --> 0:13:48.700 terms of supply it doesn't change the supply dynamic that's 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.939 really what i want to be clear on right no no. 0:13:52.140 --> 0:13:54.620 It's not going to change the supply but you know 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.600 as well as i do that the government likes to 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.700 cut their nose off to spite their face so the Anyway, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.220 you have a good day, and I hope everything gets 0:14:02.260 --> 0:14:02.760 better for you. 0:14:02.780 --> 0:14:07.740 Thanks, brother. I appreciate it. Okay, then that's fine. The 0:14:07.820 --> 0:14:12.210 supply of road-worthy or road-usable diesel is increased because you 0:14:12.250 --> 0:14:15.530 can use the red on the road now. But effectively, 0:14:15.590 --> 0:14:18.050 the entire quantity is limited by the amount of production. 0:14:18.090 --> 0:14:18.650 So, okay. 0:14:18.910 --> 0:14:21.970 Now, the other thing is this right here. You don't 0:14:22.010 --> 0:14:23.770 see it because I'm pointing at an article in front 0:14:23.790 --> 0:14:27.770 of me. And how have I been saying this? Don't 0:14:27.810 --> 0:14:30.130 blame Donald Trump for the high price of gasoline. Or rather, 0:14:30.190 --> 0:14:33.250 don't vote for Democrats because of the high price of gasoline. 0:14:33.270 --> 0:14:34.710 If you want to draw a straight line from Donald 0:14:34.730 --> 0:14:36.880 Trump and the war to the high price of diesel 0:14:36.900 --> 0:14:38.740 or gasoline, go ahead and draw that. I think it's 0:14:38.780 --> 0:14:42.060 a pretty clear line. There's a lot of other factors 0:14:42.100 --> 0:14:45.380 involved in it, like Democrats' green energy policies and reducing 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.200 the number of refineries and all that. So we can 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.250 blame them. But leading up to it, boom. The war 0:14:50.290 --> 0:14:52.510 goes and the Strait of Hormuz is shut down. We 0:14:52.610 --> 0:14:54.950 experience higher prices. And I've said, listen, if you get 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.380 angry at Trump and you want to go ahead and 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.440 blame him for that, don't vote Democrat because this is 0:14:58.500 --> 0:15:02.280 exactly what they wanted. The problem with the Democrats' argument 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.800 is in the name of carbon dioxide elimination or green 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.430 energy policies, we will make the price of gasoline go 0:15:09.510 --> 0:15:12.270 up through our regulation. You will necessarily pay more of 0:15:12.290 --> 0:15:14.510 the pump, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We've talked about 0:15:14.530 --> 0:15:18.910 this a million times. Donald Trump's war with the Iranians 0:15:19.030 --> 0:15:21.390 is a gift to these idiots who want us all 0:15:21.410 --> 0:15:23.720 to be behind the wheel of EVs because guess what? 0:15:23.750 --> 0:15:28.640 They share gasoline cars globally, fell below 50% for the 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:33.380 first time ever. Everybody's out buying EVs and hybrids. China 0:15:33.420 --> 0:15:35.800 was already over 50%. They've been there for a while. 0:15:35.940 --> 0:15:39.160 They're about 55% electric. The rest of the world, not 0:15:39.220 --> 0:15:41.860 so much. They weren't convinced. Guess what? Price of gasoline 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:48.640 goes through the roof by natural economic problems, realities. In 0:15:48.660 --> 0:15:50.780 other words, not brought about by legislation, but brought about 0:15:50.820 --> 0:15:53.720 by supply chain disruptions, which I kept saying and keep 0:15:53.740 --> 0:15:56.360 saying are going to be temporary. Whether temporary is a 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.910 year or five years, wherever long this situation takes to 0:15:58.930 --> 0:16:02.410 get ironed out, somebody's going to figure it out. Number 0:16:02.430 --> 0:16:04.010 of barrels of oil coming out of the Strait of 0:16:04.030 --> 0:16:06.990 Hormuz is increasing. They're using pipelines and rail and every 0:16:07.050 --> 0:16:09.090 other mechanism they can to get the stuff out of 0:16:09.130 --> 0:16:11.930 the area, and that will increase over time. So whether 0:16:11.980 --> 0:16:13.680 the full straight opens up or they come up with 0:16:13.700 --> 0:16:16.400 some alternative route, it's going to happen. You know it is. 0:16:16.700 --> 0:16:21.400 This is how they make money over there. Once that eases, 0:16:21.820 --> 0:16:24.760 then the supply disruptions are going to go away. I 0:16:25.580 --> 0:16:27.380 don't know if people who went out and bought EVs 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.070 during this disruption period are going to regret their purchases. 0:16:30.130 --> 0:16:32.250 Maybe they'll think it was a great idea. But this 0:16:32.390 --> 0:16:34.630 is the reality that the Democrats wanted to bring about 0:16:34.690 --> 0:16:39.600 here in the United States by virtue of legislation. The 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.720 throat cutting, the intentional harming of someone in order to 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.160 bring about a result, what they want down the road, 0:16:45.180 --> 0:16:48.040 which is full electrification. You can go ahead and ask 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.240 yourself why. I think it's because it's easy to flip 0:16:50.260 --> 0:16:54.160 the switch off whenever they damn well please. The first 0:16:54.180 --> 0:16:56.020 thing that went through my mind, I saw this article. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.570 Honda's planning a highway. This is a highway that can 0:16:59.620 --> 0:17:03.190 charge your automobile, your truck, just by driving over it. 0:17:03.270 --> 0:17:07.389 Now you got those wireless chargers. Well, Honda's working on 0:17:07.450 --> 0:17:10.370 a highway, a wireless highway. And as soon as I 0:17:10.410 --> 0:17:12.629 read that, I thought, you know, I imagine you can 0:17:12.690 --> 0:17:14.169 do that. I don't know what the cost is going 0:17:14.190 --> 0:17:17.270 to be, whether it's feasible from a cost-benefit analysis, but 0:17:17.290 --> 0:17:20.290 there it is. But what went through my mind? The switch. 0:17:22.570 --> 0:17:28.250 Flipping it off. And you can't drive. Can't do that 0:17:28.270 --> 0:17:30.690 with a gasoline-powered car. As long as you've got extra 0:17:30.710 --> 0:17:34.010 fuel around, you can fire that baby up. Ah, Wes, 0:17:34.030 --> 0:17:38.250 hang on, brother. It's 525 here on a technically challenged Tuesday. 0:17:38.270 --> 0:17:39.820 I'll take your call when you get back. Do some 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.940 local stories, too, if possible. I prefer the phone calls. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:43.720 I'll be right back. 0:17:44.180 --> 0:17:44.500 Apply. 0:17:46.060 --> 0:17:48.540 Here is your Channel 9 first morning weather forecast. Sunny 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.159 and 71 today. Clear tonight down to 48. Sunny and 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:55.160 80 tomorrow. Clear overnight 55. Sunny and 78 on Thursday. 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.260 Sunny on Friday as well with a high of 74. 0:17:58.260 --> 0:18:00.699 It's 43 degrees right now. Think about the KRCD talk station. 0:18:02.550 --> 0:18:06.430 528-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Thank you, Paulette. My wife is so nice. 0:18:06.490 --> 0:18:10.609 I married out of my league. Expressing out loud frustration 0:18:10.650 --> 0:18:13.570 this morning with some technical difficulties and some soothing texts 0:18:13.650 --> 0:18:15.530 from my wife. And yes, I love you, honey. I 0:18:15.530 --> 0:18:19.790 appreciate that. Hang in there, she says. You know the 0:18:19.810 --> 0:18:21.970 benefit of being the host of the 55-KRC Morning Show? 0:18:22.710 --> 0:18:26.650 No one dies. I mean, die of natural causes, but 0:18:26.770 --> 0:18:29.369 not as a consequence of what I do for a living, 0:18:29.390 --> 0:18:31.470 which is, you know, hey, listen, if you're a surgeon, 0:18:31.530 --> 0:18:32.470 you can't say that. 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:35.160 Right, Russ? 0:18:36.900 --> 0:18:40.040 Hang in there, brother. Everything's okay. Let's get to Wes. Wes, 0:18:40.060 --> 0:18:42.480 thank you for calling this morning, and a happy Tuesday. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.800 To you, sir. Hi, Brian. 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:46.090 Good talking to you. 0:18:46.619 --> 0:18:49.130 Hey, I just wanted to comment real quick about the 0:18:49.250 --> 0:18:49.930 diesel fuel. 0:18:50.150 --> 0:18:51.370 Yeah. 0:18:51.650 --> 0:18:52.450 You are correct. 0:18:52.510 --> 0:18:56.530 Number two diesel is the same thing. Same diesel that 0:18:56.570 --> 0:18:57.710 you would buy at the pump. 0:18:57.730 --> 0:18:59.090 It's actually called number two. 0:18:59.109 --> 0:19:04.419 Um, just like you said, the, uh, the stuff you 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.300 buy with the red dye just doesn't have the road 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:11.460 tech tax. So interesting here enough. I just, I drive 0:19:11.500 --> 0:19:15.510 a diesel pickup truck as my daily commute. And I 0:19:16.330 --> 0:19:19.750 just went on vacation to Southwest Florida and drove my 0:19:19.810 --> 0:19:24.409 truck down there. In fact, now I, I bought diesel 0:19:24.930 --> 0:19:25.990 on the way back in. 0:19:25.970 --> 0:19:28.370 South Georgia for $ 5. 0:19:27.930 --> 0:19:28.570 25, $ 5. 0:19:28.150 --> 0:19:31.020 20 a gallon. 0:19:31.180 --> 0:19:39.640 Uh-huh. Now, as of yesterday in Ohio, our governor. 0:19:39.260 --> 0:19:42.120 Suspended all the fuel tax. 0:19:41.830 --> 0:19:42.649 For 90 days. 0:19:43.250 --> 0:19:43.470 Right. 0:19:44.690 --> 0:19:47.650 So the tax on diesel, I think here, was like 0:19:47.650 --> 0:19:49.470 47 cents per gallon. 0:19:49.570 --> 0:19:50.290 I think you're right. 0:19:51.950 --> 0:19:58.320 But diesel here in the tri-state is trending at a 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.880 little over $ 6 a gallon, $ 6. 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:01.060 12. 0:20:01.060 --> 0:20:02.800 You might find it some places for about $ 5. 0:20:02.700 --> 0:20:02.960 80 a gallon. 0:20:07.260 --> 0:20:09.560 And I'm sure that, you know, the diesel fuel I 0:20:09.580 --> 0:20:13.240 was buying in South Georgia still had some kind of 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:14.670 significant amount of road. 0:20:14.530 --> 0:20:15.149 Tax on it. 0:20:15.270 --> 0:20:17.230 Well, you have to check on that because it seems 0:20:17.250 --> 0:20:19.230 to me, I recall the other day that it was 0:20:19.369 --> 0:20:22.850 maybe Texas Governor Abbott that said he was going to 0:20:22.910 --> 0:20:25.010 allow people within the state of Texas to buy the 0:20:25.050 --> 0:20:27.370 red dye diesel and run or the red dye fuel 0:20:27.410 --> 0:20:28.889 and run it in their truck. So apparently, you know, 0:20:28.910 --> 0:20:31.560 we got federal regulations and federal taxes and state issues. 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.260 So maybe Georgia did the same thing. You were, you 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.500 were able to, you were pumping red dye diesel in there, 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.270 or maybe the, I don't know how it works, honestly, 0:20:38.310 --> 0:20:40.430 but you have state and federal taxes. So what Donald 0:20:40.450 --> 0:20:42.609 Trump does is suspended the federal tax on it. States 0:20:42.630 --> 0:20:44.030 can do whatever the hell they damn well, please. 0:20:45.530 --> 0:20:45.810 Yeah. 0:20:46.350 --> 0:20:46.570 Right. 0:20:46.710 --> 0:20:49.450 And then supply issues impacted. Like, how is it that, 0:20:49.790 --> 0:20:52.490 you know, gasoline per gallon is cheaper, let's say in 0:20:52.740 --> 0:20:55.260 one state. And then right next to it, it's a 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.379 lot more expensive. Could be tax related. It could be 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.199 a supply thing. Uh, Like California got rid of all 0:21:00.220 --> 0:21:02.399 of its refineries, so it has to import a lot. 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.510 Over on the East Coast, different issues, different prices. There 0:21:05.550 --> 0:21:08.369 are so many variables in connection with what a gallon 0:21:08.390 --> 0:21:11.010 of anything costs that it's hard to say specifically. 0:21:12.369 --> 0:21:17.270 Well, that's true, but I just found it quite interesting that, 0:21:17.790 --> 0:21:22.750 you know, right now with no road tax in Ohio, 0:21:23.150 --> 0:21:26.470 diesel fuel is still a dollar cheaper in Georgia. 0:21:26.550 --> 0:21:26.730 Yeah. 0:21:28.010 --> 0:21:28.129 Well. 0:21:29.190 --> 0:21:34.020 Be thankful you're not in California, I guess, Wes. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:40.460 They talk about the shortage of diesel, but diesel is 0:21:40.540 --> 0:21:43.459 a byproduct of gasoline. 0:21:44.500 --> 0:21:49.880 The way I understand it, because there's limited refinery capacity, 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.280 each column where they do the refining produces all the 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:57.410 same products, whether it's heating oil, gasoline, or you know, kerosene. 0:21:57.590 --> 0:22:00.740 It's just in the heating process and where in that 0:22:00.859 --> 0:22:05.660 column the vapor accumulates or the liquid accumulates. So that's 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.180 how they divide it in types of products. So finite 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.230 amount of refining capacity. So whether you're making primarily gasoline or, 0:22:12.250 --> 0:22:18.130 you know, it's, again, the complications of the refining process 0:22:18.150 --> 0:22:20.430 kind of escape me. But if you only have, you know, 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.040 X number of refining plants, there's only a certain amount 0:22:24.100 --> 0:22:25.879 of whatever it is you can get out of them, 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.670 extract them. So, and also there's a big variable in 0:22:28.710 --> 0:22:31.810 terms of the type of oil that's being refined. You know, oh, 0:22:31.850 --> 0:22:34.310 that's the wrong kind of oil for making diesel. Well, 0:22:34.330 --> 0:22:37.330 you know, I'm no chemist. I don't know how this works. 0:22:37.970 --> 0:22:40.810 I know there are multiple different grades of crude. You know, 0:22:40.850 --> 0:22:44.600 you got Texas sweet and, you know, the stuff from Venezuela, 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:47.180 which apparently is not as good as what we produce 0:22:47.220 --> 0:22:49.159 here in the United States and different products go to 0:22:49.180 --> 0:22:52.800 different refineries. So it's just very complicated. 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:54.420 Right. 0:22:54.460 --> 0:22:55.700 There you go. 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.480 The only other thing, too, is now with wintertime coming, 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:05.580 they will switch to winter blend, which is a blend 0:23:05.660 --> 0:23:09.439 of number two and number one diesel, which keeps the 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.300 fuel and cold weather from gelling up and freezing. 0:23:13.619 --> 0:23:16.210 Okay. Of course, that's more expensive. 0:23:16.330 --> 0:23:18.879 Right. Okay, now let me ask you this. If they 0:23:18.910 --> 0:23:21.460 didn't have to change the blends, and this happens every 0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.520 spring and fall or whatever, they change the blends, there's 0:23:23.540 --> 0:23:25.420 always a shutdown for a period of time to change 0:23:25.460 --> 0:23:29.080 the blends. Is it possible, and this is me asking 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:30.560 a question I don't know the answer to, is it 0:23:30.580 --> 0:23:33.640 like daylight saving times or standard time? Could you just 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.540 pick one and use it all year long and not 0:23:36.580 --> 0:23:38.760 have to suffer the shutdowns with the different blends? 0:23:40.010 --> 0:23:40.889 I'm sure you could. 0:23:40.970 --> 0:23:43.750 I mean, the stuff you run in the winter would 0:23:43.790 --> 0:23:45.040 run just fine in the summer. 0:23:45.210 --> 0:23:47.200 That's kind of what I was thinking. If they didn't 0:23:47.220 --> 0:23:49.879 have the shutdowns associated with the changing of blends, maybe 0:23:49.900 --> 0:23:52.100 it wouldn't be that much more expensive or maybe a 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.960 wash in terms of just leaving it alone throughout the 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.699 entire year. I've always wondered about that one parenthetically, but 0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.740 I appreciate the opportunity to talk about. 0:23:59.580 --> 0:23:59.960 It, Wes. 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:04.139 Hang in there, man. Wait, real quick, Wes. Are you 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.370 planning on getting an EV? Are you planning on getting 0:24:06.390 --> 0:24:06.730 an EV? 0:24:06.750 --> 0:24:08.550 Heck no. 0:24:08.570 --> 0:24:09.030 There you go. 0:24:11.450 --> 0:24:15.340 I can't pull campers, trailers, and boats with an EV. 0:24:15.619 --> 0:24:18.600 Fair enough. Not yet. Anyway, yeah, they may answer that 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.140 challenge someday. But, yeah, I'm squarely in your camp on that. 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.570 I do appreciate the internal combustion engine still. Take care, Wes. 0:24:24.790 --> 0:24:27.149 Good luck out there. Pete, I promise to take your 0:24:27.190 --> 0:24:28.970 call in just a second. It is already 535, so 0:24:28.990 --> 0:24:32.470 I must pause. For these commercial messages, please support the 0:24:32.490 --> 0:24:34.070 sponsors here on the 55KRC Morning Show. 0:24:34.090 --> 0:24:34.490 Be right back. 0:24:35.050 --> 0:24:38.630 A mammogram takes 15 minutes and could save your life. 0:24:38.710 --> 0:24:45.180 Schedule yours with UCHealth breast imaging experts at 513-584-PINK. Highways 0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:49.060 are doing fine early on this Tuesday morning. Wrapping things up, 0:24:49.140 --> 0:24:54.230 westbound 74 from an overnight work crew near 128. Northbound 0:24:54.230 --> 0:24:59.030 71 broken down above Fields-Earnal right side. Chuck Ingram, 55KRC, 0:24:59.090 --> 0:25:00.110 the talk station. 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:06.010 539-55KRC, the talk station, 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, or pound 550 on 0:25:06.030 --> 0:25:10.250 AT & T phones. Thank you, Pete, for holding over 0:25:10.270 --> 0:25:12.330 the break. Welcome to the 55KRC Morning Show. 0:25:13.430 --> 0:25:15.030 Hey, thanks for taking my call, Brian. 0:25:15.530 --> 0:25:18.260 And this red dye stuff, the red dye diesel is 0:25:18.340 --> 0:25:21.179 not readily available to the general public. Most of it's 0:25:21.220 --> 0:25:24.359 delivered to, like, farmers and mining companies and people that 0:25:24.420 --> 0:25:28.860 have lots of off-road vehicles. If they really wanted to help, 0:25:28.940 --> 0:25:31.840 all they had to do is suspend the federal tax 0:25:32.020 --> 0:25:35.600 on it. And then everybody could get it if they need, 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:39.810 you know, I don't get it. It's like I drive 0:25:39.850 --> 0:25:42.189 truck every day and I don't even know where. 0:25:42.070 --> 0:25:43.650 To go get any red. 0:25:43.730 --> 0:25:46.570 That's a good point, man. I wouldn't know where to 0:25:46.609 --> 0:25:49.149 go buy it. Is that something you can find a 0:25:49.170 --> 0:25:49.950 tractor supply? 0:25:49.970 --> 0:25:54.490 No, they don't sell it. Most of it was delivered 0:25:54.530 --> 0:25:57.000 directly to big users of it. 0:25:57.030 --> 0:25:57.230 Yeah. 0:25:59.390 --> 0:26:02.689 And the other thing is, the poor people that use 0:26:02.730 --> 0:26:04.649 heating oil this winter are going to get hammered. 0:26:04.850 --> 0:26:07.330 Well, I know, and I read they said heating oil 0:26:07.350 --> 0:26:11.970 was up 47%. It was just basically electric bills or 0:26:12.050 --> 0:26:14.600 energy bills, generally speaking. People are going to have to 0:26:14.619 --> 0:26:17.280 gird their loins, but heating oil was definitely the worst 0:26:17.410 --> 0:26:20.260 one at 47% increase. I think that was locally reported 0:26:20.340 --> 0:26:22.040 or maybe Fox News. I don't know where I got 0:26:22.060 --> 0:26:24.040 the info. It was last week I saw that. But 0:26:24.220 --> 0:26:27.520 is heating oil the same thing as the diesel as well? 0:26:28.810 --> 0:26:29.590 It's close. 0:26:29.990 --> 0:26:33.020 It's a little bit less refined, but it comes from 0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:36.479 the same pool. So it used to be when they 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:40.840 were legitimate in the wintertime, diesel went up because heating 0:26:40.940 --> 0:26:43.080 oil took part of it. And then in the summertime, 0:26:43.100 --> 0:26:45.140 there was a glut of it, and diesel would be 0:26:45.850 --> 0:26:46.890 less than gas. 0:26:46.990 --> 0:26:49.210 Now they just rape us year-round. 0:26:49.690 --> 0:26:52.429 Well, I suppose you could put it that way. In 0:26:52.470 --> 0:26:54.250 the 5 o'clock hour, you get away with that kind 0:26:54.270 --> 0:26:57.629 of comment. Pete, I appreciate the info, brother. You have 0:26:57.670 --> 0:27:01.760 a great day. You do the same. 0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:02.120 Thanks. 0:27:02.140 --> 0:27:06.100 749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 on AT & T phones. Stack 0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:08.119 is stupid. Give me a call unless you'd rather hear 0:27:08.140 --> 0:27:09.810 the stack is stupid, which you're going to do right now. 0:27:10.130 --> 0:27:13.870 And from the category of play stupid games, win stupid prizes, 0:27:14.410 --> 0:27:16.389 if you're paying attention to what's going on in France, 0:27:16.410 --> 0:27:22.260 there's riots in the streets, mostly youths running amok. And 0:27:22.300 --> 0:27:25.040 as a consequence of that and the protests getting violence, 0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:28.080 we now have a teenager who had his hand blown off. 0:27:29.369 --> 0:27:33.330 as the high school protesters clash with French police during 0:27:33.350 --> 0:27:38.570 what are described as chaotic riots. Students allegedly protesting poor 0:27:38.650 --> 0:27:43.469 conditions and teacher shortages. Why do I sound like I'm 0:27:44.100 --> 0:27:47.320 jaded and cynical and skeptical of what's motivating them to 0:27:47.420 --> 0:27:52.320 protest in the streets? Many suggesting this has nothing to 0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:57.979 do with school conditions. Anyway, a 15-year-old picked up what 0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.240 is described as a police dispersal grenade, I'm guessing maybe 0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:05.580 like a flashbang. Yeah, don't do that. It detonated in 0:28:05.619 --> 0:28:08.220 his hand, causing him to lose his hand and part 0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:15.669 of his lower arm. Francois Xavier Lauch, the prefect of 0:28:15.710 --> 0:28:18.550 the police there, said roughly 200 to 250 protesters had 0:28:18.590 --> 0:28:24.320 been hurling objects at the police. Incident involving the teen 0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:26.399 happened on the eve of the national demonstration by the 0:28:26.540 --> 0:28:31.510 Pupils Union against underfunding, overcrowding, and dilapidation. Well, there you go. 0:28:31.530 --> 0:28:36.670 We're in France. They have a Pupils Union. Of course 0:28:36.730 --> 0:28:41.470 they do. Government officials have said the protests have evolved 0:28:41.490 --> 0:28:44.480 into violence, including some schools being ransacked. That's what you 0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:46.240 want to do. Why are we out in the street? 0:28:46.260 --> 0:28:50.180 We're focusing on poor conditions. Our schools suck. Let's go 0:28:50.260 --> 0:28:59.760 ransack them. Never understood that. Angry people basically tearing up 0:28:59.780 --> 0:29:02.540 their own neighborhood. Let's see what Corey's got this morning. Corey, 0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:04.770 welcome to the morning show and a happy Tuesday to you. 0:29:06.610 --> 0:29:10.130 Happy Tuesday, Brian. Hey, there's a quick comment the company 0:29:10.150 --> 0:29:13.210 I work for. We buy roughly 3 million gallons of 0:29:13.250 --> 0:29:16.390 diesel every year. And we lock that price in at 0:29:16.410 --> 0:29:19.840 the beginning of the year for the red dye. And 0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:21.220 we get it and still get it. 0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:25.420 We're paying like Something like $ 3. 28 a gallon. 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:26.160 Oh, my God. 0:29:26.660 --> 0:29:29.680 And as far as I know, there's no shortage of 0:29:29.700 --> 0:29:31.680 the red diesel like the other caller just said. 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.150 No kidding. Well, where do you buy it? Obviously, I 0:29:35.510 --> 0:29:37.670 don't know where I would go to buy red diesel. Obviously, 0:29:37.710 --> 0:29:39.430 it's out there because people use it every single day, 0:29:39.450 --> 0:29:41.620 most notably on the road. farms but is there a 0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:43.760 wholesale supplier that you get it from because you don't 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:45.340 buy that at a shell station. 0:29:46.340 --> 0:29:50.260 Yeah all these oil companies that's around yeah they also 0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:57.050 sell the red dye diesel specifically for uh equipment and 0:29:57.430 --> 0:29:59.470 farming equipment and that sort of stuff. 0:29:59.510 --> 0:30:01.830 So like propane, you can arrange for it to be delivered. 0:30:01.850 --> 0:30:03.230 Does that make sense? Is that right? 0:30:03.290 --> 0:30:03.570 Correct. 0:30:03.850 --> 0:30:04.170 Oh, okay. 0:30:04.490 --> 0:30:04.690 Yes. 0:30:05.510 --> 0:30:05.690 Yeah. 0:30:05.930 --> 0:30:08.210 We got a call a day or two ahead, schedule 0:30:08.230 --> 0:30:10.190 a time to meet and they bring their trucks up 0:30:11.150 --> 0:30:15.930 and they fill us up. You got like a 500 0:30:15.930 --> 0:30:17.830 gallon or 5,000. 0:30:17.830 --> 0:30:21.970 Locking it in at that price, you're saving like 50% 0:30:21.970 --> 0:30:23.910 off the going rate out in the world right now. 0:30:25.410 --> 0:30:25.570 Right. 0:30:25.860 --> 0:30:29.060 Well, Pat, whoever made that decision on the back, thank him. 0:30:29.340 --> 0:30:32.420 That's serious profit. I suppose you also have a commodity 0:30:32.460 --> 0:30:34.820 to the extent the business profits, whatever it is you do, 0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:37.140 go down. You guys are sitting on a gold mine 0:30:37.180 --> 0:30:39.150 in turn of resaleability. Just go out in the real 0:30:39.190 --> 0:30:40.969 world and sell it for $ 5. 0:30:40.870 --> 0:30:41.410 50 a gallon. 0:30:41.650 --> 0:30:44.090 That's your fat profit off the three you bought it for. 0:30:44.730 --> 0:30:47.970 Appreciate the call, Corey. You have a great day. Tony, 0:30:47.990 --> 0:30:48.330 hang on. 0:30:48.390 --> 0:30:48.810 You're next. 0:30:49.370 --> 0:30:51.660 Line them up, man. I like talking to people and 0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:55.220 feeling still a little bit flustered underneath. The kickoff this morning, 0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.810 so let's have some fun. 545, I'll be right back. 0:31:26.390 --> 0:31:30.630 550-55-KRCD Talk Station. Happy Tuesday. We're going to empower you. 0:31:30.650 --> 0:31:33.620 Line up at 705 with Dr. J. Tom Zalastowski at 730. 0:31:33.620 --> 0:31:38.260 Breitbart News on what's going on with the right-wing shift 0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:39.160 in South America. 0:31:39.580 --> 0:31:40.000 One more. 0:31:40.940 --> 0:31:42.880 Well, it looks like it's going to fall anyhow. Daniel Davis, 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:46.340 Deep Dive in Iran. And at 850, my good friend 0:31:46.380 --> 0:31:48.180 Jeff from 22.3 is going to join us for the 0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:50.550 Ask the Expert segment. We're going to talk about the, well, 0:31:52.710 --> 0:31:56.840 the law has changed. No taxes on suppressors and short 0:31:56.860 --> 0:32:00.020 barrel rifles means you no longer have to fill an 0:32:00.140 --> 0:32:02.820 FFL form out. Will that be that Fifth Circuit opinion? 0:32:02.860 --> 0:32:07.880 Will that now be the default opinion for all the 0:32:07.940 --> 0:32:11.110 courts now? Because the class that was identified in the opinion, 0:32:11.140 --> 0:32:13.410 which found that, well, no, you don't have to have 0:32:13.430 --> 0:32:15.610 an FFL form to get a suppressor short barrel rifle 0:32:15.650 --> 0:32:18.170 applies to just the class that was involved in the lawsuit. 0:32:18.590 --> 0:32:21.920 The Trump administration is not appealing that. So that will 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.620 stand in that particular circuit, but will it apply elsewhere? 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:27.070 We're going to find that out. We'll see if he 0:32:27.090 --> 0:32:28.700 has the answer to that. Jeff, looking forward to having 0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:30.650 you on the show, and thank you for holding. Tony, 0:32:30.690 --> 0:32:32.210 welcome to the 55 KRC Morning Show. 0:32:33.790 --> 0:32:37.070 Hey, I just wanted to share my story in juvenile court. 0:32:37.430 --> 0:32:42.070 It's been a while ago, but it exposes the weak 0:32:42.130 --> 0:32:44.810 link in the chain, why we have youth problems. But 0:32:45.270 --> 0:32:47.190 on this day, there was a really strong link in 0:32:47.210 --> 0:32:50.010 the room. So I'm sitting there with my neighbors, and 0:32:50.930 --> 0:32:54.650 actually there were a group of children who were breaking 0:32:54.690 --> 0:32:57.050 into cars. And by the time we got to court, 0:32:57.130 --> 0:33:02.060 there was only one youthful offender with his father. And 0:33:02.500 --> 0:33:09.900 then when the judge handed down what the cost of 0:33:10.030 --> 0:33:12.890 his debt to society would be, the father spoke up 0:33:12.970 --> 0:33:14.350 immediately and said. 0:33:14.510 --> 0:33:15.110 Is that all? 0:33:15.830 --> 0:33:18.930 He said, I didn't raise my son to be a thief. 0:33:19.710 --> 0:33:22.410 And he looked at us and he said, this will 0:33:22.430 --> 0:33:24.440 be taken care of when we get home. 0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:25.420 Oh, wow. 0:33:25.460 --> 0:33:29.700 Look in his eyes. I believed him. So I just 0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:31.740 I just wanted to tell you if we had more 0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:36.000 like that. I think we'd have less trouble with the youth. 0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:36.860 Amen. 0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:38.380 So I just wanted to share that with you. 0:33:39.860 --> 0:33:42.880 I just remembered several things my father told me as 0:33:42.940 --> 0:33:46.620 a child over the years. It's like flashback to my head. 0:33:46.740 --> 0:33:50.160 I was more concerned with incurring my dad's wrath than 0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.800 anything else that could happen to me out in the world. So, yes, 0:33:52.860 --> 0:33:53.940 that is a good father. 0:33:53.960 --> 0:33:58.090 You know, this happened a while ago. So, you know, 0:33:58.150 --> 0:34:00.350 I couldn't even tell you who the judge was. But 0:34:00.470 --> 0:34:03.110 to this day, I have not forgotten that father. 0:34:04.310 --> 0:34:06.970 How could you? Tony, I appreciate you relaying that story. 0:34:07.030 --> 0:34:08.450 They're out there. And one more thing. 0:34:08.510 --> 0:34:11.180 Yeah, go ahead. I want to thank all the good 0:34:11.219 --> 0:34:13.720 men who are fathers who do take care of things 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:14.500 when they get home. 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:17.580 God bless each and every one of them. And I 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.320 appreciate you saying that out loud, Tony. Well worth the 0:34:20.420 --> 0:34:22.839 extra moments and time here on the 55 Care to 0:34:22.860 --> 0:34:23.420 See Morning Show. 0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:23.840 Amen. 0:34:23.860 --> 0:34:27.370 Amen. Let us see here who's next. Tom's next. Tom, 0:34:27.390 --> 0:34:29.030 welcome to the morning show. Happy Tuesday. 0:34:30.210 --> 0:34:30.510 Morning. 0:34:30.910 --> 0:34:33.810 So back in the 1970s when we had the oil embargo, 0:34:33.830 --> 0:34:35.850 there was a shortage of gasoline and we had to 0:34:35.870 --> 0:34:39.089 wait in lines to get gas. I'm not sure about 0:34:39.150 --> 0:34:42.450 diesel then, but a lot of companies, like even it 0:34:43.370 --> 0:34:47.160 was called Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company, they converted all 0:34:47.180 --> 0:34:48.820 their trucks to run on propane. 0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.100 You don't want to do a total. 0:34:50.900 --> 0:34:55.380 Conversion nowadays, but you can put the conversion– a propane 0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:58.399 add-on kit onto your truck for between $ 1, 500 and $ 5, 000. 0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:04.640 And it gives you better horsepower, more miles per gallon, 0:35:05.570 --> 0:35:08.109 and there's no shortage of propane right now. So this 0:35:08.230 --> 0:35:11.450 could be a long-term thing. 0:35:11.810 --> 0:35:12.350 I believe you. 0:35:13.330 --> 0:35:16.650 I guess I want to know what the cost on 0:35:16.690 --> 0:35:19.730 a per-mile basis. You get X number of miles with 0:35:19.750 --> 0:35:21.430 a gallon of diesel. You get X number of miles 0:35:21.450 --> 0:35:23.290 with a gallon of gasoline. How many miles do you 0:35:23.330 --> 0:35:28.029 get with an equivalent cost on propane. You know what 0:35:28.090 --> 0:35:31.190 I'm saying? I don't know what the price of propane 0:35:31.250 --> 0:35:34.850 is relative in terms of mileage as compared to gas 0:35:34.890 --> 0:35:37.510 or diesel. I mean, if the math works out, great. 0:35:37.590 --> 0:35:39.210 And I don't know what a conversion kit costs, but 0:35:39.230 --> 0:35:41.210 you have to factor in the cost of conversion, the 0:35:41.250 --> 0:35:43.380 labor that's involved in that, and do the math and 0:35:43.390 --> 0:35:45.180 figure out whether over the long term to deal with 0:35:45.219 --> 0:35:49.000 this hopefully very temporary spike, it's worth it. But yeah, 0:35:49.020 --> 0:35:51.940 I know there are propane vehicles out there. They quite 0:35:51.980 --> 0:35:55.130 often have buses that run on propane. Well, you don't 0:35:55.170 --> 0:35:56.450 want to do a total conversion. 0:35:56.489 --> 0:35:59.989 This is an add-on to inject propane in with your 0:36:00.030 --> 0:36:00.970 diesel mixture. 0:36:01.670 --> 0:36:02.410 Oh. 0:36:04.469 --> 0:36:05.009 Yeah. 0:36:05.489 --> 0:36:05.709 Okay. 0:36:05.730 --> 0:36:07.589 You have to change the whole engine block if you 0:36:07.630 --> 0:36:10.870 want to do a propane total conversion. 0:36:11.030 --> 0:36:15.009 Yeah, I can't imagine that being cost-effective. So anyway, obviously 0:36:15.030 --> 0:36:17.239 there are options out there, and of course desperate times 0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:19.160 call for desperate measures, and if there's a way to 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:21.560 get around the cost of fuel, hopefully people will find it. 0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:25.239 Well, there's one good bright side. You've got the propane 0:36:26.260 --> 0:36:27.910 gas fireplace for this winter. 0:36:29.750 --> 0:36:32.169 Mine's LP or natural gas. 0:36:32.390 --> 0:36:33.600 Oh, yeah, natural gas. 0:36:33.610 --> 0:36:36.589 Natural gas. Yeah, but, you know, I guess when you 0:36:36.610 --> 0:36:38.390 talked about the conversion, I was thinking about my whole 0:36:38.410 --> 0:36:40.989 house generator, which runs on natural gas, but you can 0:36:41.140 --> 0:36:44.160 easily stick a propane tank or unit on it, and 0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:45.880 it will run on propane just the same as it 0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:49.620 runs with natural gas. So there's that option. Fortunately, didn't 0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:53.920 have to go down that road yet. Appreciate the call, man. CJ, 0:36:53.940 --> 0:36:55.390 if you don't mind waiting, we're already out of time 0:36:55.430 --> 0:36:57.069 in this hour. I would love to hear from you, 0:36:57.110 --> 0:36:58.989 but going to have to hold over the break, and 0:36:59.030 --> 0:37:00.450 I encourage you to do that. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, pound 550 0:37:00.450 --> 0:37:06.940 on AT & T phones. We'll continue the discussion after 0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:09.660 the top of the hour news. Announced yesterday that would 0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:13.910 make it a federal crime to develop artificial intelligence, human 0:37:14.010 --> 0:37:17.630 cognitive performance across a broad range of tasks. 0:37:17.870 --> 0:37:21.990 Weekdays at 9 on 55KRC, the talk station. 0:37:22.010 --> 0:37:29.689 It is 6.05 here at 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Tuesday. 0:37:29.790 --> 0:37:31.669 Brian Thomas looking for the phone calls. I got CJ 0:37:31.730 --> 0:37:33.669 on the line. He decided to hold. I appreciate that. 0:37:33.710 --> 0:37:35.549 You can also call in because I'd love to hear 0:37:35.570 --> 0:37:36.209 from you this morning. 0:37:36.230 --> 0:37:36.410 513-749-5500. 0:37:36.430 --> 0:37:41.910 800-823-TALK. Pound 550 on AT & T phones. Always remember, 0:37:41.969 --> 0:37:45.910 never forget, 55KRC. iheart. com. When you can't listen live, you get 0:37:45.930 --> 0:37:48.600 your podcast there. Podcast page has not been updated to 0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:51.320 include yesterday's segments because I guess Joe Strecker is the 0:37:51.380 --> 0:37:54.040 one that does that all the time. Russ Jackson covering 0:37:54.060 --> 0:37:56.960 for the vacationing Joe Strecker. I appreciate Russ doing what 0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:59.860 he's doing. And I'm not blaming Russ for the technical 0:37:59.880 --> 0:38:02.469 difficulties we encountered this morning. No, he is not to 0:38:02.489 --> 0:38:03.890 blame for that. It's the start of the show. A 0:38:03.989 --> 0:38:06.190 little bit rocky this morning. Still throwing me off the 0:38:06.430 --> 0:38:08.090 back of my heels a little bit. But CJ to 0:38:08.110 --> 0:38:10.529 the rescue. CJ, thanks for calling up. Good to hear 0:38:10.590 --> 0:38:11.770 from you, and happy Tuesday to you. 0:38:13.330 --> 0:38:14.700 Happy Tuesday to you as well. 0:38:14.739 --> 0:38:18.280 You know, it is complete campaign season, and it's also 0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:20.580 a Trump speech when you get the Rorschach test from 0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:26.219 last night in that speech. If you look at what 0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:29.919 people are saying, oh, he wanted Iran to attack L.A. 0:38:29.969 --> 0:38:31.950 Or San Diego, it's not what he said. 0:38:32.690 --> 0:38:34.730 And you're going to get all these people on both 0:38:34.790 --> 0:38:38.109 sides all upset and angry, regardless of what you think 0:38:38.170 --> 0:38:41.190 about the war in Iran. The president did not call 0:38:41.250 --> 0:38:44.410 for the destruction of San Diego and L.A. He clearly 0:38:44.510 --> 0:38:48.980 said the price of gas is a small price to pay, 0:38:49.620 --> 0:38:52.569 Let them take out San Diego and Los Angeles. I 0:38:52.590 --> 0:38:54.910 think you just forgot the next line. That would be 0:38:54.930 --> 0:38:58.969 a much higher price to pay. And this is the 0:38:59.010 --> 0:39:02.450 problem with social media today. Everybody gets the clip. They're 0:39:02.550 --> 0:39:06.780 little two seconds out of the full speech. And now 0:39:06.820 --> 0:39:12.080 you get this big controversy that's really dumb. And Republicans 0:39:12.180 --> 0:39:12.600 do it. 0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:13.860 Democrats do it. 0:39:13.980 --> 0:39:14.480 And all it. 0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:17.500 Does is create a bunch of hatred towards each other. 0:39:18.020 --> 0:39:20.800 And regardless of what you think about this war in Iran, 0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:24.310 I think it is very evident that if Iran did 0:39:24.370 --> 0:39:27.310 have a bomb or they aren't capable of doing it, 0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:30.720 they would clearly take out any city in the United 0:39:30.780 --> 0:39:32.799 States without hesitation. 0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:36.549 One may presume that. I don't know how they would 0:39:36.590 --> 0:39:39.190 deliver the bomb because I don't know that they have 0:39:39.250 --> 0:39:43.330 rocket technology that can reach from there to here. Not yet, anyway. 0:39:43.469 --> 0:39:45.109 I think the North Koreans have already gotten there, but 0:39:45.310 --> 0:39:47.129 we don't talk about that because, you know, I guess 0:39:47.170 --> 0:39:48.810 it's okay for the North Koreans to have a bomb, 0:39:48.830 --> 0:39:52.610 but the Iranians can't. But, you know, he's taken out 0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:55.779 of context all the time. I mean, his comments are 0:39:56.060 --> 0:40:02.900 extracted from much longer-winded, contextually-needed segments of his speeches. In 0:40:02.940 --> 0:40:04.859 order to understand what exactly he's saying, you could pull 0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:07.779 out one sentence from any one of trump's speech and 0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:10.000 come up with some negative conclusion about what he actually 0:40:10.060 --> 0:40:11.719 means the problem is that's i mean that's what the 0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:14.200 mainstream media does and in fact maureen if you're out 0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.299 there she sent me a montage the thing went on 0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:20.739 for about 15 minutes of exactly that what the mainstream 0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:23.580 media reported donald trump wants the iranians to blow up 0:40:23.620 --> 0:40:25.680 san francisco or whatever and then when you read it 0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.399 in the broader context you know it's not anything like 0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:31.010 what he said i mean that there are some good 0:40:31.050 --> 0:40:33.239 people on uh there were some good people was that 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:37.250 charlotte when they had the clan, the racist versus the 0:40:37.290 --> 0:40:41.090 Black Lives Matter, whatever. Well, those groups were not the 0:40:41.190 --> 0:40:43.069 only ones there, and that's what he was referring to. 0:40:43.090 --> 0:40:45.710 There were people out there that were actually interested in 0:40:45.730 --> 0:40:47.690 the political realities of what were going on that weren't 0:40:47.730 --> 0:40:49.810 interested in beating the crap out of each other or 0:40:50.530 --> 0:40:56.969 professing some leftist or far redneck-y ideology. No, he's in 0:40:57.050 --> 0:41:00.270 favor of the racists that were there, the Proud Boys 0:41:00.310 --> 0:41:01.770 or whatever. That's what he was talking about. 0:41:02.070 --> 0:41:02.830 No, it isn't. 0:41:02.870 --> 0:41:04.930 If you read everything That's not what he said. He 0:41:04.950 --> 0:41:08.370 didn't say attack the Capitol on January 6th, did he? No, 0:41:08.630 --> 0:41:11.069 he didn't say anything about using aggressive force or doing 0:41:11.090 --> 0:41:13.090 anything like that. And yet, if you pull out one line, 0:41:13.170 --> 0:41:15.050 that's what they quote all the time. It's what appears 0:41:15.110 --> 0:41:17.569 in memes. People believe that. They don't bother doing their 0:41:17.610 --> 0:41:20.140 own homework and finding out. But, you know, when you 0:41:20.180 --> 0:41:22.500 see this over and over and over again, you kind 0:41:22.540 --> 0:41:24.880 of come to a logical conclusion. You know, Trump is 0:41:25.100 --> 0:41:27.640 definitely speaking the truth when he talks about the bias 0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:30.970 in the media. I mean, you're angry because he randomly 0:41:31.010 --> 0:41:33.690 picked CNN to exclude, but CNN does it all the time. 0:41:33.710 --> 0:41:36.089 It's like, why would I reward CNN if I can 0:41:36.150 --> 0:41:41.049 take away their access to create fake news about me? 0:41:41.090 --> 0:41:44.070 Then I'm going to do it. It doesn't stop CNN 0:41:44.110 --> 0:41:46.290 from creating fake news about Trump. It just doesn't give 0:41:46.310 --> 0:41:48.569 them closer access to it. So I understand where his 0:41:48.670 --> 0:41:51.230 anger stems from, but You know, when you read this 0:41:51.390 --> 0:41:53.210 every single day and this is what you do for 0:41:53.230 --> 0:41:55.430 a living like me, you can see it and you 0:41:55.650 --> 0:41:57.910 look for context and you look for the broadest. There's 0:41:57.969 --> 0:42:00.450 no way, for example, if I see a meme like 0:42:00.489 --> 0:42:02.970 I have him sent to me all the time. Good morning, Andy. 0:42:02.989 --> 0:42:05.770 A lot of times I'm like, does he believe what 0:42:05.810 --> 0:42:08.850 he said to me? Even though it's the meme springs 0:42:08.890 --> 0:42:11.270 from sort of a conservative or in my case, little 0:42:11.469 --> 0:42:14.180 libertarian perspective. I look at something. I go, wait a minute. 0:42:14.489 --> 0:42:16.630 That can't be right. And so if you cut and 0:42:16.650 --> 0:42:18.810 paste the words and you go, that's a meme, and 0:42:18.870 --> 0:42:21.660 actually that was extracted from a broader statement, which really 0:42:22.060 --> 0:42:25.459 means nothing at all with what the meme suggests it means. 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.700 So we need to do our research and our homework collectively. 0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:31.160 But yeah, that he said something that was taken out 0:42:31.180 --> 0:42:34.380 of context by the mainstream media, no, that never happens. 0:42:34.780 --> 0:42:35.840 Right? Wrong. 0:42:36.570 --> 0:42:39.750 All the time. This is the problem with the echo 0:42:39.790 --> 0:42:42.969 chambers we find ourselves living in. We choose what we 0:42:43.090 --> 0:42:46.110 want to hear. We don't want to be– well, and, 0:42:46.250 --> 0:42:48.190 you know, there's a listener that calls every time Daniel 0:42:48.210 --> 0:42:50.150 Davis is on it. Since Daniel Davis is coming up 0:42:50.190 --> 0:42:52.050 at 830 here on the morning show, I'm going to 0:42:52.090 --> 0:42:55.029 say it. Every time Daniel Davis speaks words, this guy 0:42:55.070 --> 0:42:56.450 calls and he says, that guy doesn't know what he's 0:42:56.489 --> 0:42:58.130 talking about. It's like, really? 0:42:58.150 --> 0:42:58.970 Huh. 0:42:59.130 --> 0:43:01.730 He's got all the sources. He's got all the inside information. 0:43:01.810 --> 0:43:05.160 Just because he says something that you don't like hearing 0:43:05.540 --> 0:43:06.940 doesn't mean he's not right. 0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:08.140 Why? 0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:10.299 And, you know, last time I said, well, what would 0:43:10.380 --> 0:43:13.359 you do if you think he's wrong that we– We 0:43:13.390 --> 0:43:15.750 need to just go in there. That was pretty much 0:43:15.790 --> 0:43:18.850 what I got from this guy. He's always critical. We 0:43:18.890 --> 0:43:20.350 can kick the Iranians' butt. 0:43:21.110 --> 0:43:21.410 Really? 0:43:21.450 --> 0:43:23.430 Have you seen the size of Iran? It's two and 0:43:23.450 --> 0:43:25.530 a half times the size of Texas, for God's sake. 0:43:25.860 --> 0:43:27.719 Where do you start? How many troops do you need? 0:43:27.739 --> 0:43:29.540 How many troops do you need to take over one city, 0:43:29.580 --> 0:43:32.780 let alone an entire country? What about all the drone 0:43:32.820 --> 0:43:36.760 manufacturing facilities, which you can really literally have in somebody's basement? 0:43:37.100 --> 0:43:39.890 With all those square miles and all the buildings and infrastructure, 0:43:40.150 --> 0:43:42.750 how do you find them? It takes time. If you 0:43:42.770 --> 0:43:44.219 want to engage in that effort, it is going to 0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:47.859 be a long, long time before you can finally kick 0:43:48.000 --> 0:43:51.759 in every door and find every drone facility. Oh, just 0:43:51.820 --> 0:43:54.320 go in and look. That was what I got. See, 0:43:54.340 --> 0:43:56.720 that's the kind of response he had. That doesn't mean 0:43:56.739 --> 0:43:59.530 Daniel Davis, I mean, that's his response to Daniel Davis, 0:43:59.570 --> 0:44:03.029 but Daniel Davis is providing information, valuable, I think it is, 0:44:03.150 --> 0:44:05.670 and very factual. I mean, he's been right up to 0:44:05.710 --> 0:44:09.390 this point. It ain't over. It wasn't easy. We're still 0:44:09.570 --> 0:44:12.310 at it. The straits still closed. They still have drones. 0:44:12.370 --> 0:44:16.609 They are still funding terrorist organizations like the Houthis. Far 0:44:16.660 --> 0:44:19.219 more complicated than people want to give credit for, but 0:44:19.400 --> 0:44:21.100 there you have it. You've got to get outside of 0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.780 your echo chamber and look. You need to get rid 0:44:23.960 --> 0:44:26.640 of the echo chamber websites, or not get rid of them, 0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:28.710 but go over to the other ones. Go to sites 0:44:28.750 --> 0:44:31.629 that just conflict with your ideology. Read what they have 0:44:31.670 --> 0:44:34.290 to say and see if you can find fault with it. 0:44:34.780 --> 0:44:38.280 Or maybe you'll find that it isn't all lies over there, 0:44:38.340 --> 0:44:41.819 whatever there means from your political perspective, but at least 0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:44.460 it'll cause you to think about the other arguments that 0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:46.920 are being advanced. It'll cause you to think about the 0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:51.609 practical implications of, like, the conflict with Iran. The drone 0:44:51.650 --> 0:44:54.870 warfare is no longer missiles and airplanes and Navy vessels. Yeah, 0:44:54.890 --> 0:44:56.630 the Navy's on the bottom of the ocean. How is 0:44:56.670 --> 0:44:59.230 it that they're still able to wage war against us 0:44:59.330 --> 0:45:02.040 and lock up the Strait of Hormuz? Yes, they're being 0:45:02.160 --> 0:45:05.279 economically choked and challenged, but Daniel Davis pointed that. They're 0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:08.580 used to that. They've been living in misery for 50 years, 0:45:08.739 --> 0:45:11.500 on and off varying degrees of misery. This is what 0:45:11.540 --> 0:45:13.700 they're used to. Then you've got to factor in, like, 0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:18.089 for example, the religious ideology. This isn't a war over 0:45:18.170 --> 0:45:21.370 socialism or communism or capitalism. This is a war over 0:45:21.730 --> 0:45:25.190 the hearts and religious reality of the Iranian people and 0:45:25.270 --> 0:45:29.150 even the subset, the larger subset maybe, of the radicalized 0:45:29.270 --> 0:45:31.839 Muslim people that are there. You're not going to get 0:45:31.860 --> 0:45:34.880 them to say no to the religion. And they hate us. 0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:38.080 We are the Satan of the world. They're not going 0:45:38.100 --> 0:45:41.750 to capitulate very easily to this country. So, complicating factors, 0:45:42.130 --> 0:45:44.850 which all need to be discussed when you're thinking about 0:45:44.870 --> 0:45:48.109 the realities of that conflict. Is it easy to kick 0:45:48.170 --> 0:45:50.810 the butts and just drop bombs and kill them all 0:45:50.830 --> 0:45:53.489 and let God sort them out, boil down, easy to 0:45:53.570 --> 0:45:59.700 solve problem? Hell no, it's not. Not even close. Do 0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:00.580 I wish it was? 0:46:01.070 --> 0:46:01.550 Of course. 0:46:02.410 --> 0:46:04.380 Do I want the United States to finally end the 0:46:04.530 --> 0:46:08.260 evil Iranian regime? Well, you know, I really wish Congress 0:46:08.300 --> 0:46:11.279 had authorized it because I still believe in the Constitution. 0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:14.439 But here we find ourselves, like every conflict since World 0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:19.770 War II, unauthorized, sort of presidentially driven, do whatever you want, 0:46:20.290 --> 0:46:22.250 and get it over with. Now, are we going to 0:46:22.270 --> 0:46:23.710 end up with a Vietnam situation? 0:46:23.730 --> 0:46:25.350 Are we going. 0:46:25.270 --> 0:46:27.250 To end up with an Afghan situation? Or are we 0:46:27.270 --> 0:46:32.840 going to win? So, we're left with the challenges and 0:46:32.860 --> 0:46:36.590 we're left with the obligation to look through both sides 0:46:36.650 --> 0:46:40.509 or all sides to look at all information and then 0:46:40.550 --> 0:46:42.570 try to come up with some logical conclusion. If somebody 0:46:42.610 --> 0:46:46.270 has a military strategy to have us come out successful 0:46:46.370 --> 0:46:48.310 in a very short period of time, I'd love to 0:46:48.350 --> 0:46:50.379 hear what it is. And don't tell me to start 0:46:50.410 --> 0:46:56.140 dropping nukes. And you can't just say, let's just go in. 0:46:56.380 --> 0:47:00.259 I don't even know what that means. And if you 0:47:00.360 --> 0:47:04.420 say it, What about the broader complications that is sort 0:47:04.460 --> 0:47:11.130 of stream of consciousness rattled off there? It's not something 0:47:11.150 --> 0:47:14.969 that's easily resolved. That sort of concept goes out into 0:47:15.010 --> 0:47:17.630 the world in all types of other areas that we 0:47:17.670 --> 0:47:22.620 talk about. So just trying to be, you know, rational, 0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:28.219 perhaps logical. 615-35-KRC-D Talk Station. How did I get here? 0:47:31.390 --> 0:47:34.490 It's been quite an interesting morning for me. Prestige Interiors, 0:47:34.510 --> 0:47:37.930 how do you get a great kitchen remodeling project done? 0:47:38.070 --> 0:47:40.790 You call John Ryan at Prestige Interiors. You will love 0:47:41.070 --> 0:47:43.900 working with John. He's been doing kitchens north of 40 years, 0:47:43.980 --> 0:47:46.740 almost exclusively. He did our kitchen about a decade ago. 0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:50.040 So easy to work with. He's got brilliant ideas, having 0:47:50.060 --> 0:47:52.060 done so many kitchens over the years. Great ideas for 0:47:52.080 --> 0:47:55.219 your kitchen. And if it's a small project, that's A-OK. 0:47:55.260 --> 0:47:57.620 He can do cabinets and countertops, leave everything else pretty 0:47:57.640 --> 0:47:59.690 much the same in terms of the layout and the 0:47:59.730 --> 0:48:01.440 structure of the kitchen. If you want to do what 0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:03.980 we did, you take everything out and you start from scratch. 0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:07.200 He can find room where you think there is no room. 0:48:07.219 --> 0:48:09.620 You got a rectangular space. How do you make it bigger? 0:48:09.700 --> 0:48:12.720 John Ryan did that for us. We recessed our refrigerator, 0:48:12.739 --> 0:48:14.930 so you hardly even see it. It's all tied in 0:48:14.950 --> 0:48:18.230 with the cabinetry. Love that look. And thank you, John Ryan, 0:48:18.250 --> 0:48:20.810 for achieving that. And just a wonderful kitchen. We're so 0:48:20.830 --> 0:48:22.630 happy with what we have. And you will love what 0:48:22.650 --> 0:48:25.110 he can do for you, incorporating your design and your ideas, 0:48:25.510 --> 0:48:28.050 along with some of his excellent suggestions, like for storage 0:48:28.090 --> 0:48:31.130 and other ideas.

Anyway, New 0:49:34.350 --> 0:49:37.049 Hampshire Gary's on the line. Welcome, New Hampshire Gary. I'm 0:49:37.090 --> 0:49:39.190 reminded of the iHeartMedia app because you can stream the 0:49:39.250 --> 0:49:42.070 audio wherever you happen to be and like New Hampshire 0:49:42.110 --> 0:49:43.450 Gary does. Welcome back, man. 0:49:45.219 --> 0:49:50.360 Beautiful day up here. I was just talking about, we're 0:49:50.380 --> 0:49:54.120 going to have to call it Tuesday morning Brian's lean vet. 0:49:54.260 --> 0:49:54.919 Do you feel better? 0:49:55.680 --> 0:49:56.340 I'm trying. 0:49:57.460 --> 0:50:00.460 It's all going to be good, brother. 0:50:00.840 --> 0:50:01.600 I appreciate it. 0:50:02.080 --> 0:50:02.779 I apologize. 0:50:02.820 --> 0:50:05.950 You know, I, I, this is no, I'm not blaming 0:50:06.010 --> 0:50:07.870 Russ at all, but when, when, when the start of 0:50:07.890 --> 0:50:10.370 the show is, is just blown and I'm really kind 0:50:10.410 --> 0:50:12.410 of figuring out which direction I want to go anyway, 0:50:12.489 --> 0:50:14.210 cause I don't really figure that out until I get 0:50:14.250 --> 0:50:16.569 here and start preparing in the morning. So I was 0:50:16.750 --> 0:50:21.340 really not quite on center when the audio wasn't there 0:50:21.500 --> 0:50:23.640 and the microphone wasn't on. And it's like, now I 0:50:23.680 --> 0:50:26.370 become even more flustered. I'm like, ah, So, yeah, you 0:50:26.390 --> 0:50:28.489 get basically the last, oh, I don't know, hour and 0:50:28.489 --> 0:50:30.940 20 minutes of me to sort of stream of consciousness. 0:50:31.020 --> 0:50:34.240 So apologies for that. Hopefully things will work out better tomorrow. 0:50:34.260 --> 0:50:36.800 But I appreciate your helping me out this morning, New Hampshire. 0:50:36.820 --> 0:50:37.100 Gary? 0:50:38.180 --> 0:50:39.000 Absolutely, bud. 0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:43.970 Hey, by the way, I'm watching Agenda Free TV on YouTube, 0:50:44.030 --> 0:50:46.950 and you can actually watch the riots in real time. 0:50:47.230 --> 0:50:47.750 Which ones? 0:50:50.450 --> 0:50:53.620 They're burning the streets of Paris. 0:50:53.860 --> 0:50:54.660 Oh, yeah? Yeah. 0:50:55.630 --> 0:50:59.629 Day over there because now the teacher unions the ones 0:50:59.670 --> 0:51:03.370 who are getting their gasoline thrown at them they're joining 0:51:03.850 --> 0:51:06.669 the the riots this thing's turning into a big thing 0:51:07.070 --> 0:51:11.270 and from what i can tell it is antifa uh 0:51:11.410 --> 0:51:17.250 palestine and i i'm thinking all the black block people 0:51:17.430 --> 0:51:20.489 are are that are directing this. 0:51:20.550 --> 0:51:22.710 And you can see that the ones with the hoods 0:51:22.770 --> 0:51:23.750 are the directors. 0:51:24.250 --> 0:51:26.270 And then they have people with cameras. 0:51:26.330 --> 0:51:27.790 That way, when the. 0:51:27.739 --> 0:51:32.100 Police retaliate, then they can claim, oh, they're beating me 0:51:32.180 --> 0:51:35.080 and all this fun stuff. And they're just, they're putting 0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:39.370 the students out there, you know, Between the women, you know, 0:51:39.390 --> 0:51:44.400 they put the young girls, actually, in front so the 0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:50.250 police will actually retaliate on them. It's fascinating how this— it' s 0:51:49.210 --> 0:51:54.359 all communist flags. Yes. I'm telling the Russians— It's the Chinese. 0:51:54.840 --> 0:52:01.489 It's all these countries are funneling their money throughout the 0:52:01.550 --> 0:52:06.469 world for all these organizations to start riots. Because I 0:52:06.530 --> 0:52:09.270 do believe if we continue going the way we are, 0:52:09.570 --> 0:52:11.750 we're going to start World War III. 0:52:11.890 --> 0:52:12.670 It's going to happen. 0:52:14.170 --> 0:52:18.359 Well, OK, I agree with you that that. At least 0:52:18.400 --> 0:52:20.140 my perception of the riots that are going on in 0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:22.690 France are not really, that really don't have anything to 0:52:22.710 --> 0:52:26.270 do about public schools or education. I mean, it's like 0:52:26.430 --> 0:52:32.850 every other angry group. They have been co-opted by Russians, 0:52:32.930 --> 0:52:36.440 Chinese Communist Party, nefarious actors, generally speaking, the George Soros 0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:39.040 of the world, the people who want one global government 0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:42.100 and socialism for all. They're all linked together. You can 0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:45.720 throw in the green folks, the climate alarmists and activists, 0:52:45.910 --> 0:52:48.759 population control people. They're all, what do we call them? 0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:52.410 Idiots who are being manipulated. They're useful idiots because people 0:52:52.450 --> 0:52:55.290 don't engage in the process. It was just rambling on 0:52:55.670 --> 0:52:59.430 earlier in the program about thoughtful analysis. What is going 0:52:59.610 --> 0:53:01.670 on here? What am I doing out on the street 0:53:01.790 --> 0:53:05.890 burning stuff up? How does that help my agenda? No, 0:53:05.930 --> 0:53:11.120 it's a perception of chaos and disorder. It's designed to 0:53:11.219 --> 0:53:16.920 disrupt everyone's thinking about the society or the state or 0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.480 government they live under. And it looks like it's all 0:53:19.580 --> 0:53:22.800 falling apart, which provides a wonderful opportunity for these nefarious 0:53:22.900 --> 0:53:26.239 actors to sneak in and complete the job. 0:53:26.260 --> 0:53:33.350 Well, I think that if you have internal turmoil happening 0:53:33.390 --> 0:53:37.840 throughout all these countries, it prepares for it. United States, 0:53:38.700 --> 0:53:41.739 all this, if you're fighting within yourself, you can't be 0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:46.719 fighting these other countries like Russia, Ukraine, and you can't 0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:51.810 be sending weapons off to them, you know, Israel, Palestine, Iran, 0:53:51.830 --> 0:53:55.009 you know, you just name it. The world's one big 0:53:55.090 --> 0:53:55.709 trash heap. 0:53:56.310 --> 0:53:59.570 Well, I mean, you may want to reach that conclusion. 0:53:59.590 --> 0:54:02.029 I understand that. But see, this is the thing that 0:54:02.050 --> 0:54:03.700 I've been talking about the left here in the United 0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:05.800 States for such a long time. I mean, for years, 0:54:06.430 --> 0:54:11.880 We can't even rally together under the flag, the symbol 0:54:11.969 --> 0:54:14.359 of freedom. Whatever you perceive the United States to be, 0:54:14.500 --> 0:54:16.480 one thing you can say compared to all the other 0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:19.680 governments in the world, we are the freest nation out there, 0:54:19.700 --> 0:54:21.980 although those freedoms are being eroded every day. I get it. 0:54:22.040 --> 0:54:23.810 But I can say what I want here in the 0:54:23.850 --> 0:54:27.110 morning show with the exception of some FCC noncompliant words. 0:54:27.510 --> 0:54:29.270 I would get arrested for some of the comments I 0:54:29.310 --> 0:54:31.069 make if I was in the United Kingdom. I talked 0:54:31.110 --> 0:54:33.660 about that the other day. You attack someone or you 0:54:33.700 --> 0:54:37.640 make a biologically based argument about LGBTQ and whether a 0:54:37.680 --> 0:54:40.440 person can claim they're a different gender. I don't believe 0:54:40.460 --> 0:54:45.650 in that. X and Y, chromosomally defined, scientifically backed, Brian Thomas' conclusion, 0:54:45.690 --> 0:54:47.770 you can believe whatever you want, but that's me. I'd 0:54:47.790 --> 0:54:51.990 get arrested. So we can't even join in unity under 0:54:52.050 --> 0:54:54.930 the concept of freedom in this country, which allows the 0:54:54.989 --> 0:54:57.609 leftists to scream about what they want, allows conservative people 0:54:57.640 --> 0:55:01.759 to scream about what they want. That's gone. We can't 0:55:01.880 --> 0:55:05.379 have unity. This is the evil force that is undermining 0:55:05.500 --> 0:55:08.920 every government in the world. How do you destroy a 0:55:09.600 --> 0:55:13.310 country's value system? You flood it with people that have 0:55:13.610 --> 0:55:16.410 no connection whatsoever with your value system. This is a 0:55:16.410 --> 0:55:19.710 nefarious reality. What happened to the Biden administration? Open the borders. 0:55:20.070 --> 0:55:22.490 Bring in 10 or 20 million people who have lived 0:55:22.550 --> 0:55:26.830 under an evil dictatorship or terrible, might I argue, communist 0:55:26.910 --> 0:55:29.690 or socialist policies. They come here because we've got it better. 0:55:29.710 --> 0:55:31.779 They can hook themselves up to the umbilical cord of government, 0:55:32.050 --> 0:55:37.600 which will expedite the collapse of our fiat currency. It 0:55:37.640 --> 0:55:40.299 seems so obvious when you step back from it and 0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:44.860 you look at what's going on. What was that? What 0:55:45.760 --> 0:55:46.080 was that? 0:55:46.100 --> 0:55:48.460 I just said you're dead on. Yeah. 0:55:50.690 --> 0:55:55.920 Well, that's the goal. And then global government to the rescue? 0:55:56.160 --> 0:55:57.600 I don't know, but you may be on to something 0:55:57.620 --> 0:56:02.259 with that World War III comment. Martial law, perhaps? There's 0:56:02.300 --> 0:56:06.310 a nice vehicle for maintaining oppression of one's people. 626, 0:56:06.310 --> 0:56:09.520 55 care CD talk station.

They do everything for your traditionally 0:56:33.940 --> 0:56:36.660 imported car, a Tesla. You get a full warranty on 0:56:36.700 --> 0:56:39.580 parts and service. And, of course, the money savings is 0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:41.700 the primary reason you would go to foreign exchange and 0:56:41.739 --> 0:56:44.520 not a dealer.

Northbound 75, starting to get 0:57:32.120 --> 0:57:34.040 a little bit heavier into the cut. 0:57:34.700 --> 0:57:42.150 Chuck Ingram, 55KRC, the talk station. Just shy of 631 0:57:42.150 --> 0:57:45.670 here in the 55 KRC Morning Show. 0:57:45.690 --> 0:57:46.010 513-749-5500. 0:57:46.030 --> 0:57:48.910 800-823-TALK. Time 550 on AT & T. Phones over the phones. 0:57:48.950 --> 0:57:53.060 Forget the local stories. Bobby's on the phone. Bobby, something 0:57:53.340 --> 0:57:54.560 had in the back of my head you might be 0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:57.640 calling this morning concerning the subject matter going on. Welcome back. 0:57:59.020 --> 0:58:01.940 Well, thank you, my friend. Happy Tuesday to you. 0:58:02.300 --> 0:58:02.980 Try to make it so. 0:58:04.290 --> 0:58:07.290 I know. Well, it's two for Tuesday. I've got two 0:58:07.310 --> 0:58:10.550 different topics and two different words. One of them for 0:58:10.570 --> 0:58:13.980 the local is it's Parents Weekend at UC. 0:58:16.400 --> 0:58:18.060 Is that really a thing, Bobby, or are you just 0:58:18.080 --> 0:58:18.700 making that up? 0:58:19.620 --> 0:58:22.160 No, it is a thing, and I hope it turns 0:58:22.240 --> 0:58:22.700 out well. 0:58:22.820 --> 0:58:25.100 Oh, I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek comment about parents 0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:27.930 having to go to UC to help out their distraught 0:58:28.030 --> 0:58:30.870 children who've been victims of criminal activity around the campus. 0:58:32.470 --> 0:58:35.270 Well, you being the previous student, you know they have 0:58:35.310 --> 0:58:38.430 a parent weekend. I know. That's what's coming up. So 0:58:38.740 --> 0:58:42.860 hopefully everything turns out well. And the other topic is 0:58:43.640 --> 0:58:45.900 everybody has to understand we're in the midst of a 0:58:45.940 --> 0:58:47.120 cultural revolution. 0:58:47.200 --> 0:58:47.580 Clearly. 0:58:48.000 --> 0:58:51.680 They start slow. And if you always remember, it doesn't 0:58:51.720 --> 0:58:58.210 matter if you go back to the late 20s, DeGaulle's era, hey, 0:58:58.750 --> 0:59:02.280 it always starts in Europe. Then it trickles over here. 0:59:02.600 --> 0:59:02.800 Yeah. 0:59:02.820 --> 0:59:04.410 Well, Europe's need to be prepared. 0:59:04.690 --> 0:59:07.610 Europe has been dealing with the open borders problem, for 0:59:07.650 --> 0:59:09.240 a lot more years than we have, and look at 0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:10.660 the chaos that's unfolded there. 0:59:13.180 --> 0:59:14.440 France may collapse. 0:59:16.000 --> 0:59:21.200 Certainly possible. And let's face it, Germany's economic policies in 0:59:21.380 --> 0:59:23.720 and of themselves may cause their economy to collapse. There's 0:59:23.740 --> 0:59:26.340 such idiots pursuing or chasing their tail trying to rid 0:59:26.380 --> 0:59:28.959 the world of carbon dioxide. And who do you think's 0:59:29.020 --> 0:59:32.600 behind that nefarious campaign? Bobby, do you think the Chinese 0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:35.460 Communist Party has anything to do with Western Europe and 0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:38.960 the United States cutting their own respective throats in the 0:59:38.980 --> 0:59:42.750 name of trying to limit carbon dioxide? Maybe, just maybe, might. 0:59:44.110 --> 0:59:46.690 If you read their doctrine, that's exactly what they want 0:59:46.710 --> 0:59:47.050 to do. 0:59:47.110 --> 0:59:47.550 Of course. 0:59:48.650 --> 0:59:50.010 Salt belly. Of course. 0:59:50.490 --> 0:59:54.230 They've got bot farms producing propaganda using artificial intelligence to 0:59:54.250 --> 0:59:56.830 make it sound like a real human being. It carries 0:59:56.850 --> 0:59:59.030 the opinions that are being voiced far and wide on 0:59:59.050 --> 1:00:04.250 the Internet. In the echo chambers that people find themselves in, yeah, perfect. 1:00:04.270 --> 1:00:06.790 You've got a left-wing site that believes we're exhaling ourselves 1:00:06.830 --> 1:00:09.710 into oblivion. That's where the CCP goes in order to 1:00:09.770 --> 1:00:13.630 foment more rage and more memes and circulate more propaganda 1:00:13.670 --> 1:00:18.320 about why we need to, well, cut our collective throats legislatively. Yeah, 1:00:18.550 --> 1:00:20.070 while they build coal plants. 1:00:21.610 --> 1:00:25.750 Naive and complacent. That's what most people are. It's unfortunate 1:00:25.790 --> 1:00:28.470 because what will happen is they wait for it to 1:00:28.550 --> 1:00:32.170 be at their doorstep. You shouldn't do that. You need 1:00:32.190 --> 1:00:33.050 to be prepared. 1:00:33.300 --> 1:00:37.320 And look what our education is churning out. People who 1:00:37.380 --> 1:00:40.660 are incapable of, well, wading through the facts and the 1:00:40.700 --> 1:00:43.840 information and coming up with logical and reasonable conclusions. They 1:00:43.860 --> 1:00:47.380 just do what they are told, these young people. It's 1:00:47.400 --> 1:00:49.780 like being taught the test. All you were given is 1:00:49.820 --> 1:00:53.240 the answers, not how you arrive at the answer, just 1:00:53.280 --> 1:00:54.200 what the answer is. 1:00:56.060 --> 1:00:58.560 If you grab any young person and ask them just 1:00:58.620 --> 1:01:02.090 a simple question, what does cause and effect mean? Give 1:01:02.120 --> 1:01:09.930 me examples of cause and effect. They just look at you. Yeah. Cause. 1:01:10.470 --> 1:01:13.750 Open borders with floods of humanity that have no connection 1:01:13.770 --> 1:01:16.130 with the freedoms, liberties, and the foundations that made this 1:01:16.190 --> 1:01:20.490 country so great. If fact, right, it disappears. 1:01:20.510 --> 1:01:24.190 I agree with you, my friend. We're on the same page. 1:01:24.450 --> 1:01:24.730 I know. 1:01:25.330 --> 1:01:25.650 I know. 1:01:25.810 --> 1:01:27.840 And coupled with a whole bunch of useful idiots who 1:01:27.860 --> 1:01:31.320 can't care for themselves, all these puzzle pieces tend to 1:01:31.380 --> 1:01:35.800 fall into place. Plus, the other conferrious thing we don't 1:01:35.860 --> 1:01:39.610 often talk about is the reduction in disposable income. You know, 1:01:39.640 --> 1:01:41.400 this isn't, you know, I need a higher minimum wage. 1:01:41.420 --> 1:01:45.340 This is every area of your world has gotten so 1:01:45.360 --> 1:01:49.520 much more expensive. Insurance is more expensive. Price of electricity 1:01:49.560 --> 1:01:52.720 is more expensive. Price of energy is more expensive. Everything's 1:01:52.800 --> 1:01:55.240 whittling away what we used to have as disposable income. 1:01:55.340 --> 1:01:57.310 We all feel like we just can't make it. We 1:01:57.350 --> 1:01:59.410 aren't going to be able to save for our retirement. Oh, 1:01:59.430 --> 1:02:01.670 my God, what am I going to do? I need 1:02:01.750 --> 1:02:05.820 a big government program to help save me. The government programs, 1:02:05.840 --> 1:02:08.500 they probably are the ones responsible for whittling away all 1:02:08.540 --> 1:02:13.050 your disposable income. Appreciate it, Bobby. 635, maybe you got 1:02:13.070 --> 1:02:15.570 a different take on it. I'd love to hear from you. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. 1:02:15.770 --> 1:02:19.890 You know me, I'm always about saving money. Speaking of money, 1:02:19.950 --> 1:02:23.950 there's one of the ways you can reduce fairly substantially 1:02:23.990 --> 1:02:27.290 or maybe even very substantially subjective opinion, but you will 1:02:27.370 --> 1:02:30.190 reduce your energy bill with USA's premium foam in the 1:02:30.250 --> 1:02:32.410 exterior walls of your home if you need it. That's 1:02:32.470 --> 1:02:35.540 why USA offers a free inspection. Get in touch with USA. 1:02:35.580 --> 1:02:37.420 Have them come over and inspect your home. The exterior 1:02:37.440 --> 1:02:40.760 walls are supposed to have a good high R-value insulation 1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:42.500 in them, and you probably don't have it if your 1:02:42.520 --> 1:02:45.000 home was built, of course, before the mid-' 70s when they 1:02:45.020 --> 1:02:46.880 didn't put anything in the exterior walls. And then after, 1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:48.440 there was a long period of time where you had, 1:02:48.940 --> 1:02:53.510 comparatively to modern insulation, inferior insulation. I use my daughter's 1:02:53.530 --> 1:02:55.790 house as an example because we had their home foam. 1:02:55.830 --> 1:02:58.110 All they had was a little R-12 in there from 1:02:58.150 --> 1:03:01.000 late-' 70s when the home was built. and it had deteriorated 1:03:01.020 --> 1:03:02.940 to the point where you don't even get an R12. 1:03:03.020 --> 1:03:05.520 Put the foam from USA in with that. You've got 1:03:05.560 --> 1:03:08.840 a well-insulated home. You will have guaranteed comfort improvement day 1:03:08.980 --> 1:03:11.620 one and energy savings every month, at least if you're 1:03:11.680 --> 1:03:15.700 using the HVAC system. A lot of listeners say 50%. 1:03:15.700 --> 1:03:18.440 I think a lot of people can save $ 99 a 1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:20.700 month given the price of your Duke bill. $ 99 a 1:03:20.720 --> 1:03:23.510 month interest-free is all USA costs, and Steve is offering 1:03:23.550 --> 1:03:28.110 another dangling carrot, $ 500 discount. So call them up, get 1:03:28.130 --> 1:03:29.730 your home inspected, find out if you need it, and 1:03:29.750 --> 1:03:32.590 if you don't, they'll be honest with you and tell you. 1:03:32.610 --> 1:03:32.970 513-381-FOAM. 1:03:33.240 --> 1:03:36.400 It takes 15 minutes and can save your life. Schedule 1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:42.340 yours with UC Health Press Imaging Experts at 513-584-PINK. Northbound 1:03:42.340 --> 1:03:45.120 75 beginning to fill in just a bit between Dixie 1:03:45.160 --> 1:03:49.380 and Kyles. Southbound 75 still in good shape past Tyler'sville 1:03:49.420 --> 1:03:53.570 and Cincinnati-Dayton before getting to Union Center. Same for southbound 1:03:53.570 --> 1:03:55.710 71 through Blue Ash into Kenwood. 1:03:56.150 --> 1:04:02.550 Chuck Ingram, 55KRC, The Talk Station. 651 at 55KRC, The 1:04:02.570 --> 1:04:05.189 Talk Station. After the top of the hour news, Dr. 1:04:05.210 --> 1:04:11.590 Jay Rissa over with this week's Empower You seminars. EmpowerYouAmerica.org 1:04:11.610 --> 1:04:14.270 is where you find the entire semester lineup. Tom Zalastowski 1:04:14.310 --> 1:04:16.610 at 730. In the meantime, let's head on over to 1:04:16.630 --> 1:04:18.840 the phones and get Todd's call. Todd, thanks for calling 1:04:18.860 --> 1:04:20.220 this morning. Happy Tuesday to you. 1:04:21.990 --> 1:04:23.180 Hey, good morning, Brian. 1:04:24.390 --> 1:04:27.900 First off, I went to Listener Lunch at the Turf Club, 1:04:28.020 --> 1:04:32.540 and it was amazing. I shared a table with Submariner 1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:35.700 Mike and his bride, and that was a great time. 1:04:35.780 --> 1:04:36.460 He's a good man. 1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:38.420 Thank you for doing those. 1:04:38.540 --> 1:04:40.220 Oh, I love it. Can I ask you a question? 1:04:40.240 --> 1:04:43.820 Because I go way, way back with the Turf Club. 1:04:43.900 --> 1:04:45.820 Some people love it. Some people are like, man, whatever. 1:04:45.840 --> 1:04:47.700 I don't care. It's one of my favorite joints, if 1:04:47.740 --> 1:04:49.600 you know what I mean. Had you been there before? 1:04:51.100 --> 1:04:51.500 Oh, yeah. 1:04:51.700 --> 1:04:51.900 Okay. 1:04:51.920 --> 1:04:52.000 Yeah. 1:04:52.020 --> 1:04:52.500 All right. 1:04:52.660 --> 1:04:53.720 So you knew what you were doing. 1:04:53.740 --> 1:04:54.160 Back in the day. 1:04:55.180 --> 1:04:59.400 Yeah, I was back there back during its previous management. 1:04:59.520 --> 1:05:04.110 But it's always been a great place. 1:05:04.300 --> 1:05:07.210 Terry was, shall we say, a bit old school. I 1:05:07.230 --> 1:05:09.670 don't think he evolved from the Mad Men days of 1:05:09.710 --> 1:05:12.290 the 60s on some levels. But, yeah, he was quite 1:05:12.310 --> 1:05:15.350 a character. But, yeah, under new management for quite some time. 1:05:17.420 --> 1:05:17.600 Now. 1:05:17.980 --> 1:05:19.840 Yeah, he was different, that's for sure. 1:05:19.860 --> 1:05:21.180 Yeah, we'll say. That's a word. 1:05:21.900 --> 1:05:22.260 Anyway. 1:05:22.540 --> 1:05:22.680 Yeah. 1:05:23.450 --> 1:05:28.680 But anyway, about the violence in the UC area, now 1:05:28.720 --> 1:05:31.540 I've worked up in that area for about 14 years, 1:05:32.400 --> 1:05:37.479 and I myself haven't really experienced any. 1:05:37.400 --> 1:05:40.300 Of the violence, but as I've said before. 1:05:40.860 --> 1:05:43.460 People tend to leave me alone. I'm kind of bigger 1:05:43.500 --> 1:05:49.590 than most people wandering around, but... And I hear all 1:05:49.630 --> 1:05:52.350 the ideas about we're going to put some extra police here, 1:05:52.430 --> 1:05:56.640 some more lights there, close some streets down there. But 1:05:56.680 --> 1:06:00.420 what I don't hear, and it would be interesting to 1:06:00.480 --> 1:06:05.060 hear from, you know, maybe if Judge Bloom could weigh 1:06:05.140 --> 1:06:10.440 in on what she thinks could possibly curb some of this, 1:06:10.560 --> 1:06:15.100 or maybe Connie Pillage or any of those favorite targets 1:06:15.180 --> 1:06:19.370 of Signal 99, you know, who is highlighting where some 1:06:19.410 --> 1:06:23.180 of this problem stems from. And pretty much it's the 1:06:23.220 --> 1:06:24.990 lack of accountability. 1:06:26.520 --> 1:06:27.100 Well, it is. 1:06:27.140 --> 1:06:30.220 That's why I jokingly refer to one of the solutions 1:06:30.300 --> 1:06:34.340 offered by our elected officials downtown is to deploy caring, 1:06:35.100 --> 1:06:39.240 concerned parents who will teach their children discipline, respect, what 1:06:39.280 --> 1:06:41.820 it's like to live in a world with other people, 1:06:42.240 --> 1:06:43.840 that kind of thing, where they don't go out and 1:06:43.860 --> 1:06:45.180 want to engage in criminal activity. 1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:49.760 Yeah, I mean, that's. 1:06:50.100 --> 1:06:52.380 You know, the home is where a lot of it begins. 1:06:52.900 --> 1:06:54.200 Most of it. 1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:59.080 But when you face no repercussions for your actions, which 1:06:59.180 --> 1:07:03.870 is basically what's happening right now, it's kind of, it's 1:07:03.910 --> 1:07:07.230 not even a revolving door. It's just a flat-out open door. 1:07:08.310 --> 1:07:13.130 And I mentioned the Judge Blum in particular because that. 1:07:13.030 --> 1:07:13.630 Seems to be. 1:07:15.060 --> 1:07:18.990 one of Signal 99's favorite topics, and rightfully so. 1:07:19.150 --> 1:07:22.390 Justifiably so. She's the head of the juvenile department, and 1:07:22.990 --> 1:07:26.910 she's responsible for implementing policy. And her policy, apparently, whether 1:07:26.950 --> 1:07:29.530 it's formally written down or not, it's being followed, is 1:07:29.590 --> 1:07:32.670 to treat these juvenile offenders with the most kid of 1:07:32.750 --> 1:07:36.360 kid gloves you can. Let them out. No bond. Free 1:07:36.380 --> 1:07:39.620 them out. No true repercussions. I joke about it all 1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:42.420 the time. You get juice and a cookie. That's your sentence. 1:07:43.080 --> 1:07:46.060 Regardless of what you did, you're a juvenile and caught 1:07:46.080 --> 1:07:49.500 with a firearm in a city that screams out loud 1:07:49.620 --> 1:07:51.990 all day long about firearm crimes. Oh, my God, we've 1:07:52.010 --> 1:07:53.930 got to get the guns off the street. We've got 1:07:53.950 --> 1:07:57.390 an opportunity right there. Treat that juvenile very harshly. Lock 1:07:57.410 --> 1:07:59.230 them up to the extent of the law. Try them 1:07:59.250 --> 1:08:01.570 as an adult because they had a firearm, for God's sake. 1:08:01.870 --> 1:08:02.950 The word would get out. 1:08:05.430 --> 1:08:08.370 Oh, it would get out real quick. But the word 1:08:08.390 --> 1:08:12.010 that's getting out right now is you can downtown or 1:08:12.150 --> 1:08:16.679 uptown Do whatever you want and get you some street cred, 1:08:17.020 --> 1:08:21.320 and you're not going to face any time or any repercussions. 1:08:21.680 --> 1:08:21.860 Right. 1:08:22.060 --> 1:08:25.730 And then the problem grows. The word spreads. That's what 1:08:25.740 --> 1:08:28.650 social media is all about. I'm sure they all know. 1:08:29.170 --> 1:08:31.870 Just the decision of which juveniles are going to go 1:08:31.990 --> 1:08:34.769 out and actually break the law. And apparently there's a 1:08:34.790 --> 1:08:36.250 whole lot of them that are willing to do that. 1:08:37.140 --> 1:08:39.300 Knowing full well there won't be any consequences. See, that's 1:08:39.320 --> 1:08:41.700 where the criminal justice system is supposed to take over, 1:08:42.090 --> 1:08:48.189 where I believe the family has failed. Discipline then comes 1:08:48.430 --> 1:08:52.790 from involvement with the criminal justice system. And if you 1:08:52.810 --> 1:08:56.420 had discipline at home, like if you, well, were raised 1:08:56.460 --> 1:08:58.480 by a father like I was raised and a mom, 1:09:00.100 --> 1:09:03.040 you tended to steer clear of breaking the law 656 1:09:03.040 --> 1:09:06.060 thanks for the call todd 55 care cd talk station 1:09:06.080 --> 1:09:08.400 dr jay rissover on the empower you seminars going on 1:09:08.420 --> 1:09:11.880 this week and tom zalastowski at 7 30 we the 1:09:11.900 --> 1:09:31.950 people convention.org be right back 7.05 at 55K or CD 1:09:31.990 --> 1:09:35.070 Talk Station. Happy Tuesday. Listen to lunch tomorrow. Going to 1:09:35.090 --> 1:09:36.440 be at Jim and Jack's on the River for the 1:09:36.490 --> 1:09:39.080 last one before the election. Speaking of election, early voting 1:09:39.280 --> 1:09:42.760 starts today. Recommend folks get over the, for example, Hamilton 1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:46.620 County Board of Elections if you're in Hamilton County and registered. Yesterday, 1:09:46.680 --> 1:09:48.900 last day to register. I hope you are registered and pleased. 1:09:48.930 --> 1:09:50.970 Dear God, get out there, vote, and have your friends 1:09:51.010 --> 1:09:53.210 go vote. Talk to them about the importance of voting. 1:09:53.229 --> 1:09:55.370 Don't let them sit on their hands. Doing so will 1:09:55.390 --> 1:09:58.230 just be one more move towards socialism in this country, 1:09:58.270 --> 1:10:00.490 which has got me freaked out. Somebody might see a 1:10:00.510 --> 1:10:02.150 listener lunch tomorrow, and I hope he's there. He's been 1:10:02.250 --> 1:10:03.469 regularly showing up at listeners. 1:10:03.510 --> 1:10:03.830 Dr. 1:10:03.910 --> 1:10:08.640 Jay Risover, who has taken the helm at empoweryouamerica.org. Wonderful 1:10:08.680 --> 1:10:11.480 opportunity to learn some stuff about a wide variety of topics, 1:10:11.540 --> 1:10:13.679 and he's joining the program, as he'll start doing every week, 1:10:13.720 --> 1:10:16.350 to talk about what seminars are coming up. Welcome back, Dr. 1:10:16.390 --> 1:10:16.600 Jay. 1:10:16.930 --> 1:10:18.150 You going to be at lunch at Jim and Jack's 1:10:18.170 --> 1:10:18.729 on the River tomorrow? 1:10:18.750 --> 1:10:22.500 Yeah. I will definitely be there. Hope to see everyone there. 1:10:22.560 --> 1:10:24.850 Please come up. If you have any ideas for Empower 1:10:24.860 --> 1:10:27.330 You classes, let me know. I'm the guy in the hat. 1:10:27.390 --> 1:10:30.910 The guy in the hat. Yes, he's got a well-trimmed beard, 1:10:30.990 --> 1:10:34.070 and he's always wearing a hat. There you go. Humble 1:10:34.090 --> 1:10:35.130 before God, right, Jay? 1:10:37.010 --> 1:10:41.150 Indeed indeed so uh we have a great week ahead 1:10:41.170 --> 1:10:43.420 of us and a great week behind us but i 1:10:43.450 --> 1:10:45.180 want to say one thing in red letters at the 1:10:45.220 --> 1:10:48.500 beginning we are not having a class on thursday this 1:10:48.560 --> 1:10:51.680 week we have a class on tuesday and wednesday so 1:10:51.700 --> 1:10:54.160 that's tonight and tomorrow. 1:10:53.700 --> 1:10:56.000 Night what is the reason for the change jay because 1:10:56.060 --> 1:10:58.160 i think the norm is going to be and is 1:10:58.270 --> 1:11:02.170 tuesday thursday with the tuesday being uh streaming only online 1:11:02.290 --> 1:11:04.890 and the uh thursday optionally to show up in class 1:11:04.990 --> 1:11:07.200 or or or uh log in from home. 1:11:08.600 --> 1:11:12.700 That is correct. It was scheduling issues. We just had 1:11:12.760 --> 1:11:15.100 to do it on Wednesday this week. And rather than 1:11:15.150 --> 1:11:17.750 have a week with one class, we shifted to Wednesday. 1:11:18.229 --> 1:11:21.229 But we have a great Wednesday class. And tonight is 1:11:21.350 --> 1:11:23.510 even better, perhaps. It's hard to say. It'll be a 1:11:23.530 --> 1:11:26.910 virtual class, but it's well worth going to. We're going 1:11:26.939 --> 1:11:31.939 to have Stephen Tuck, who is a professor at Miami University, 1:11:31.979 --> 1:11:33.760 and I'm a Bearcat, so, you know, if he can't 1:11:33.800 --> 1:11:36.640 go to UC, I mean, Miami's okay, all right? 1:11:36.860 --> 1:11:37.979 But he is excellent. 1:11:38.060 --> 1:11:43.330 He is a world-class expert on Roman history and on Pompeii. 1:11:44.110 --> 1:11:45.880 And he is going to talk about what we've learned 1:11:45.920 --> 1:11:48.320 about the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. And he is 1:11:48.340 --> 1:11:51.420 an expert in this. In fact, he has been extensively 1:11:51.500 --> 1:11:55.840 quoted in part of a Disney Hulu series, a seven-part 1:11:56.120 --> 1:12:00.139 docu-series on Pompeii. He's also been in a different series 1:12:00.220 --> 1:12:05.429 on Pompeii in PBS. So this is the expert right 1:12:05.450 --> 1:12:09.130 here at Miami University, and we'll be treasured to listen 1:12:09.210 --> 1:12:11.510 and look at the slides and the things you're going 1:12:11.530 --> 1:12:14.130 to have to tell us about Pompeii. And there's new developments. 1:12:15.030 --> 1:12:17.450 They have been doing some new techniques to look at 1:12:18.390 --> 1:12:24.510 with MRI and CT scanning, and they're always finding new things. 1:12:24.610 --> 1:12:27.530 So please, that's tonight, 7 o'clock. 1:12:28.689 --> 1:12:30.450 Maybe you don't know, and this is certainly a question 1:12:30.470 --> 1:12:31.150 you can ask him. 1:12:31.810 --> 1:12:32.520 Yes. 1:12:33.530 --> 1:12:39.920 It seems like it's a truly unique city preserved beneath 1:12:40.020 --> 1:12:44.080 all the volcanic ash and lava and everything. It's been preserved. 1:12:44.120 --> 1:12:47.000 It's like it was a frozen moment in time. And 1:12:47.060 --> 1:12:50.189 had that volcano not erupted, I think like all Roman cities, 1:12:50.490 --> 1:12:52.550 Pompeii would have just fallen into ruin and we wouldn't 1:12:52.590 --> 1:12:57.010 have all of this perfectly preserved evidence of what life 1:12:57.050 --> 1:12:59.370 was like back then. I mean, there's some fascinating things 1:12:59.390 --> 1:13:00.690 that have been found in the Pompeii ruins. 1:13:02.020 --> 1:13:03.780 That is true. A lot of what we know about 1:13:03.820 --> 1:13:08.370 the Roman Empire is from this particular city. And you're 1:13:08.390 --> 1:13:12.050 exactly right. Mount Vesuvius erupted. It got covered with ash 1:13:12.110 --> 1:13:16.090 very quickly. People died from the clouds of smoke and ash. 1:13:16.510 --> 1:13:20.050 And then they got covered over and preserved. And they 1:13:20.090 --> 1:13:22.970 have papyrus scrolls that are rolled up and intact. And 1:13:23.390 --> 1:13:26.710 with new MRI technology or CAT scan technology, they're trying 1:13:26.750 --> 1:13:29.380 to look inside the roll. Because you can't unroll it. 1:13:29.430 --> 1:13:36.179 It will just crumble into ash. But it's clothing, textiles, mosaics, people. 1:13:37.300 --> 1:13:43.219 It's an amazing thing. So, yeah, Stephen Tuck tonight, 7 o'clock, 815. 1:13:43.220 --> 1:13:47.500 This is virtual, only online.

He is 1:14:40.090 --> 1:14:43.840 an aviator, ex-Air Force. And it's like the history of 1:14:43.860 --> 1:14:47.560 the Air Force and jet engines and military. He's talking 1:14:47.580 --> 1:14:52.020 about aviation pioneers and old planes and new planes. He's 1:14:52.100 --> 1:14:55.410 a great speaker and a really nice guy. I've talked 1:14:55.430 --> 1:14:57.550 to him a couple times. I wouldn't be surprised if 1:14:57.570 --> 1:15:00.910 he shows up tomorrow at Listener Lunch. I believe he 1:15:00.939 --> 1:15:01.250 was at. 1:15:01.189 --> 1:15:01.780 The last one. 1:15:02.460 --> 1:15:02.620 So. 1:15:03.510 --> 1:15:06.370 But before we have Jim Fass, we're going to have 1:15:06.390 --> 1:15:09.790 a guy talking about the Hamilton County GOP and upcoming elections. 1:15:09.830 --> 1:15:12.870 That's our Take 20, as we call our 20-minute sessions. 1:15:14.390 --> 1:15:16.870 And we're going to have Josh Gerth, who I believe 1:15:16.910 --> 1:15:17.330 has been on. 1:15:17.290 --> 1:15:18.070 Your show before. 1:15:18.150 --> 1:15:20.800 Yes, he has. He's a good guy. He's really taken 1:15:20.840 --> 1:15:23.820 the helm on the Hamilton County Republican Party as chairman. 1:15:23.860 --> 1:15:26.620 And by all accounts, he's doing a really good job, 1:15:26.860 --> 1:15:30.880 very enthused, energetic. And he's optimistic, too, which is a 1:15:30.900 --> 1:15:32.860 word a lot of Republicans can't find in their lexicon 1:15:32.900 --> 1:15:33.260 these days. 1:15:35.010 --> 1:15:37.719 Yes, he is so enthusiastic and so full of energy. 1:15:37.760 --> 1:15:39.820 I've heard him speak. I've seen him in a couple events. 1:15:40.260 --> 1:15:42.360 I can't wait to hear him speak at our place 1:15:42.800 --> 1:15:44.740 telling us about what's going on in Hampton County. But 1:15:45.120 --> 1:15:46.800 you listen to him for five minutes, and you do 1:15:46.820 --> 1:15:49.440 get energized. So as you were talking about the people 1:15:49.460 --> 1:15:51.440 who are sitting on their hands and wondering about voting, 1:15:51.900 --> 1:15:53.850 listen to Josh Gerth if you can't listen to Brian 1:15:53.890 --> 1:15:56.330 or me. It's very important, and he's a great guy. 1:15:56.729 --> 1:15:58.150 Come and get fired up. 1:15:58.450 --> 1:16:00.769 Brian delivers the message better than Brian Thomas can. He 1:16:00.850 --> 1:16:03.830 is really good at what he does. And let's see here. 1:16:03.890 --> 1:16:06.970 Can somebody ask me tomorrow evening, Jim Favre, because I 1:16:06.990 --> 1:16:09.050 don't think I can make the seminar, the U.S. Air 1:16:09.070 --> 1:16:12.590 Force guy. Will there be jets down the road? His 1:16:12.650 --> 1:16:15.380 book obviously sings the praises of jets, the sound of freedom. 1:16:15.410 --> 1:16:19.340 But with drones and how inexpensive they are, no obligation 1:16:19.360 --> 1:16:21.360 to save them, protect the pilot. And I can't imagine 1:16:21.400 --> 1:16:23.580 how many millions of dollars go into every single jet 1:16:23.620 --> 1:16:27.120 fighter solely because. designed to protect the pilot if you 1:16:27.140 --> 1:16:30.000 eliminate the pilot you go autonomous that's one problem that's 1:16:30.020 --> 1:16:31.860 solved no loss of life and of course a lot 1:16:31.880 --> 1:16:34.160 cheaper to make will we need jets down the road 1:16:34.360 --> 1:16:35.620 i guess that's the kind of a question that's been 1:16:35.640 --> 1:16:37.280 swirling in my mind for quite some time. 1:16:38.460 --> 1:16:41.280 That is a good question there's no doubt that manned 1:16:41.340 --> 1:16:43.660 pilots will go down as drones go up just from 1:16:43.680 --> 1:16:47.050 my armchair perspective i believe you think that also yes 1:16:47.689 --> 1:16:51.040 i do And so I want to look forward. That's 1:16:51.080 --> 1:16:53.060 a good question. We'll ask him that. Looking forward a 1:16:53.060 --> 1:16:55.860 little bit the following week, we're going to have assessing 1:16:55.880 --> 1:17:00.389 the midterm elections with Breitbart's Bradley Jay on Tuesday, the 13th, virtually. 1:17:01.080 --> 1:17:03.840 On October 15th next week, that'll be something fun and different. 1:17:04.220 --> 1:17:07.540 We're going to have Krav Maga, the Israeli self-defense martial 1:17:07.620 --> 1:17:10.849 art by our local expert, Aaron Binnick Thomas, who has 1:17:10.860 --> 1:17:13.650 a Krav Maga gym in Blue Ash. 1:17:13.850 --> 1:17:14.390 Does he really? 1:17:14.410 --> 1:17:16.830 He's going to explain it to us. Yeah, talk about 1:17:16.870 --> 1:17:19.750 it a bit and even give us some moves. and 1:17:19.790 --> 1:17:22.310 i told him our audience is not necessarily all young 1:17:22.330 --> 1:17:24.790 fit army people he says that's fine i have moves 1:17:24.850 --> 1:17:27.680 for people of any age you'll learn something that'll be 1:17:27.760 --> 1:17:30.080 useful to you no matter your age at this. 1:17:30.020 --> 1:17:33.720 Class well isn't krav maga the ultimate kick-ass kind of 1:17:33.740 --> 1:17:36.180 martial art i've heard that before you know of course 1:17:36.220 --> 1:17:40.370 you can pursue judo or taekwondo or karate there's a 1:17:40.410 --> 1:17:42.730 million different forms of you know martial arts out there 1:17:42.770 --> 1:17:45.790 but I have been led to believe, perhaps erroneously, that 1:17:45.810 --> 1:17:47.189 if you want to learn one and you want to 1:17:47.229 --> 1:17:49.589 be able to defend yourself and do some serious damage, 1:17:49.729 --> 1:17:50.590 it's Krav Maga. 1:17:52.410 --> 1:17:53.490 I've heard it's modern. 1:17:53.530 --> 1:17:55.510 It was developed, I think, in the 60s by the 1:17:55.550 --> 1:17:58.990 Israeli Defense Force. They created it from picking a bunch 1:17:59.030 --> 1:18:01.660 of different disciplines and putting stuff together that they've owned 1:18:01.700 --> 1:18:05.380 for a while. And, you know, they're pretty badass. It 1:18:05.420 --> 1:18:07.820 sounds good. You know, there's a guy in this radio 1:18:07.860 --> 1:18:09.140 station that sometimes talks. 1:18:09.240 --> 1:18:10.400 I think his name is Sean Hannity. 1:18:10.420 --> 1:18:11.020 I've heard him once. 1:18:12.610 --> 1:18:15.700 I think he talks about his doing Krav. 1:18:15.460 --> 1:18:16.300 Maga a lot. 1:18:16.500 --> 1:18:18.820 Yeah, he talks about that regularly. He also talks about 1:18:18.860 --> 1:18:22.780 carrying concealed and owning firearms and burning systems. And yeah, 1:18:22.820 --> 1:18:25.400 he's all about self-defense, and I applaud him in that regard. 1:18:26.540 --> 1:18:29.599 Yeah, so looking forward to hearing our local expert explain 1:18:29.640 --> 1:18:29.979 it to us. 1:18:30.080 --> 1:18:31.160 It should be good. No doubt. 1:18:31.180 --> 1:18:31.679 As long as I'm. 1:18:31.620 --> 1:18:34.340 Talking on that particular date, a guy also near and 1:18:34.360 --> 1:18:36.560 dear to your heart, Jack Atherton, will be telling us 1:18:36.660 --> 1:18:41.030 about why November's issues are identical to those 250 years ago. 1:18:41.210 --> 1:18:43.939 He's such a great speaker. He's a brilliant guy. And, 1:18:43.950 --> 1:18:45.849 of course, he'll be on the program tomorrow at 7.05 1:18:45.850 --> 1:18:48.460 for The Big Picture. Good morning, Jack out of him, 1:18:48.500 --> 1:18:50.460 if you're out there listening right now. Looking forward to 1:18:50.479 --> 1:18:54.260 the seminar. Again, go to empoweryouamerica.org. Check out the full 1:18:54.300 --> 1:18:57.460 lineup and mark your calendar down so you don't forget them. But, Jay, 1:18:57.620 --> 1:18:59.720 isn't it true that you can watch the prior classes 1:18:59.800 --> 1:19:00.860 right there from the website? 1:19:02.120 --> 1:19:02.920 You sure can. 1:19:02.960 --> 1:19:04.580 They're all up and loaded. In fact, I was just 1:19:04.640 --> 1:19:07.509 checking it out. It's so nice that technically things. 1:19:07.370 --> 1:19:08.010 Are working well. 1:19:08.070 --> 1:19:10.370 Again, I want to thank Mike and Joe and Jerry 1:19:10.430 --> 1:19:12.189 who have been working hard on this. 1:19:13.340 --> 1:19:14.140 It's working. 1:19:14.200 --> 1:19:15.400 You can look at classes. 1:19:15.500 --> 1:19:16.260 It's all there. 1:19:16.870 --> 1:19:19.330 So please come join us. You know, our latest technical 1:19:19.370 --> 1:19:21.229 problem was we had a cable that was bad. So 1:19:21.270 --> 1:19:23.810 that's getting replaced. It's amazing how just a bad cable 1:19:24.210 --> 1:19:25.430 can cause so many troubles. 1:19:25.850 --> 1:19:27.670 Oh, I don't know. We can ask Russ Jackson about 1:19:27.710 --> 1:19:30.310 technical difficulties starting off the show this morning. I'm on 1:19:30.350 --> 1:19:33.700 the long list and litany of technical difficulties plaguing us 1:19:34.320 --> 1:19:36.400 over the years. Yeah, I get it. The world's an 1:19:36.420 --> 1:19:37.120 imperfect place. 1:19:38.620 --> 1:19:40.480 I've never had technical difficulties. 1:19:40.560 --> 1:19:40.939 Wait a minute. 1:19:40.979 --> 1:19:42.259 I've listened to you for a long time. 1:19:43.160 --> 1:19:44.540 Pull your tongue out of your cheek. You're going to 1:19:44.560 --> 1:19:47.450 pop a hole in it, Jay. Watch out. Jay Rissover, 1:19:47.750 --> 1:19:49.870 thank you for helping out with Empower You. A wonderful 1:19:49.910 --> 1:19:53.050 opportunity to learn. Just go to empoweryouamerica.org and check it 1:19:53.090 --> 1:19:55.730 all out. I'll see you tomorrow at lunch, brother. It's 1:19:55.750 --> 1:19:59.450 great having you on the show, as always. 716-55-KRC, the 1:19:59.490 --> 1:20:01.760 talk station. Suzette Lozacamp would love to hear from you. 1:20:01.770 --> 1:20:04.940 And you want to call Suzette Lozacamp for anything related 1:20:04.960 --> 1:20:07.420 to mortgages. Buying a home, there's a real reason to 1:20:07.439 --> 1:20:09.540 need a mortgage, and she'll find one for you. Great 1:20:09.600 --> 1:20:12.040 rates at a low cost, no junk fees or application fees. 1:20:12.580 --> 1:20:14.740 I know rates are up, but she can find out 1:20:14.810 --> 1:20:16.790 great deals for you. And remember, there's more than one 1:20:16.950 --> 1:20:19.510 way to skin a cat. That will be my experience 1:20:19.570 --> 1:20:21.890 many years ago when interest rates were 9% or 10%. 1:20:21.890 --> 1:20:24.830 We were able to score 8 and an eighth by 1:20:24.870 --> 1:20:27.670 doing a balloon mortgage. So you buy yourself some time, 1:20:27.710 --> 1:20:30.310 you get a lower interest rate, and then a 723 balloon, 1:20:30.340 --> 1:20:32.500 you get seven years, and then you have to refinance 1:20:32.540 --> 1:20:34.920 it seven years. Well, we played the gamble game, and ultimately, 1:20:34.939 --> 1:20:38.189 we ended up moving before the thing ballooned. But The 1:20:38.250 --> 1:20:40.809 interest rates ultimately went down over that period of time. 1:20:40.850 --> 1:20:42.930 So if we had to refinance at that moment in time, 1:20:42.950 --> 1:20:45.430 that would have been fine. That's an option. It may 1:20:45.470 --> 1:20:47.770 not be for you, but let Suzette talk about all 1:20:47.930 --> 1:20:50.630 of the available options with you. And she will. You 1:20:50.650 --> 1:20:52.150 want to get some equity out of your home? She's 1:20:52.180 --> 1:20:54.260 the woman to call. You want to refinance into hopefully 1:20:54.280 --> 1:20:56.880 a lower rate? Yes, she can do that too. Again, 1:20:56.939 --> 1:20:58.820 great rates at a low cost with no junk fees 1:20:58.860 --> 1:21:01.860 or application fees and the best possible customer service in 1:21:01.900 --> 1:21:04.380 the business. She is great to talk to. 1:21:04.400 --> 1:21:04.460 513-313-5176. 1:21:04.460 --> 1:21:08.939 513- 313-5176. 1:21:09.080 --> 1:21:13.130 I'm sorry, not online, but send her an email. She'll 1:21:13.150 --> 1:21:14.630 get right back to you whether you call her or 1:21:14.670 --> 1:21:19.170 send her an email. Email is suzette.loskamp at ccm.com.

You can feel free to give me a call. 1:22:11.880 --> 1:22:15.770 Russ has been trying to update the blog page. Didn't 1:22:15.790 --> 1:22:18.350 have any success doing that. Yet one more technical difficulty 1:22:18.370 --> 1:22:22.269 we're struggling with here. Hang in there, Russ Jackson. This 1:22:22.310 --> 1:22:27.730 is your last day you have to do this. Oh, 1:22:28.010 --> 1:22:30.620 you're covering for Joe next Monday. I forgot. Yeah, he 1:22:30.700 --> 1:22:34.800 is taking next Monday off. Anyhow, that's all right. I 1:22:34.820 --> 1:22:38.500 appreciate your being there, but technical difficulties, problems here today. Anyway, 1:22:38.680 --> 1:22:40.680 we were talking early in the program. Oh, and by 1:22:40.720 --> 1:22:43.400 the way, Rebecca, no, Listener Lunch is at Jim and 1:22:43.439 --> 1:22:45.900 Jack's tomorrow. We were talking about Turf Club earlier in 1:22:45.930 --> 1:22:49.809 the program because the caller had attended the Turf Club, 1:22:49.870 --> 1:22:51.610 and so I had to ask him if he'd been 1:22:51.630 --> 1:22:54.429 there before and wax poetic a little bit about the 1:22:54.570 --> 1:22:56.750 history of Turf Club. So that was last month. We 1:22:56.770 --> 1:22:58.929 will be at Jim and Jack's on the river tomorrow 1:22:59.510 --> 1:23:01.610 for the last one before the election. Oh, and again, 1:23:02.160 --> 1:23:05.120 You can start voting today. Please do. We talked about 1:23:05.140 --> 1:23:08.040 immigration earlier as one of the more nefarious elements eroding 1:23:09.140 --> 1:23:18.010 our various long-established cultural connections with our country. You can 1:23:18.030 --> 1:23:19.810 see the riots in France, and I think it sprung 1:23:19.870 --> 1:23:22.550 from that. Kids in the street, they'll say they're rioting 1:23:22.610 --> 1:23:24.430 over the schools, when in fact we know this is 1:23:24.510 --> 1:23:26.190 far more than that. This is just one of the 1:23:26.350 --> 1:23:29.490 multitude of riots and anger and divisions that have been 1:23:29.570 --> 1:23:32.870 fomented by evil and nefarious actors all around the globe 1:23:32.890 --> 1:23:35.070 you can blame source you can blame the chinese communist 1:23:35.090 --> 1:23:38.150 party we're all connected to the internet and everyone who's 1:23:38.170 --> 1:23:40.740 got a vested interest in bringing us or any other 1:23:40.820 --> 1:23:44.440 culture down is busily at work every single day making 1:23:44.560 --> 1:23:47.939 inroads at people you know that are disenfranchised or angry 1:23:47.979 --> 1:23:50.020 about something oh my god i was born a girl 1:23:50.060 --> 1:23:52.820 and i'm really a guy and that person's pissed off 1:23:52.850 --> 1:23:54.729 so you get that group together along with the people 1:23:54.750 --> 1:23:57.500 who are pissed off about something else and the Trump 1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:00.460 derangement syndrome people over there and the racist over there. 1:24:00.500 --> 1:24:06.130 Anybody you can come up with. Foment division. Undermine what 1:24:06.170 --> 1:24:09.030 it is to be American. And I always default to 1:24:09.070 --> 1:24:11.629 my perception, and you may have a different one. Freedom 1:24:11.770 --> 1:24:15.290 is what we stand for. And if you don't get that, 1:24:15.370 --> 1:24:18.850 then you don't get how unique we are in the world. 1:24:20.990 --> 1:24:23.300 But one of the problems is we have an influx 1:24:23.340 --> 1:24:25.920 over the past, obviously, the Biden administration, but tens of 1:24:25.979 --> 1:24:28.940 millions of people almost instantly flooding into communities. And you 1:24:28.960 --> 1:24:31.740 can look around. I mean, I don't have anything against 1:24:31.920 --> 1:24:34.979 Muslim people generally. And I do have a problem with 1:24:35.090 --> 1:24:39.230 fundamentalist Muslims. But where in the United States 10, 20 1:24:39.229 --> 1:24:45.170 years ago were there enclaves of 100% Muslim communities? So 1:24:45.370 --> 1:24:47.950 this is a more recent development, but it's not recent 1:24:47.990 --> 1:24:50.330 in Europe. It's been happening for years and years and 1:24:50.390 --> 1:24:53.910 years with their experiment in open borders. It's as if 1:24:53.950 --> 1:24:56.990 the entire Middle East population just landed in Europe at 1:24:57.030 --> 1:24:59.670 some point. Now they're dealing with the realities of that. 1:25:00.030 --> 1:25:02.430 The degradation of culture. What does it mean to be 1:25:02.510 --> 1:25:05.689 a French person anymore? Used to be steeped in culture 1:25:05.729 --> 1:25:08.689 and history and liberty, equality, fraternity. I don't know what 1:25:08.720 --> 1:25:09.139 it is now. 1:25:10.610 --> 1:25:10.799 Yeah. 1:25:11.380 --> 1:25:18.890 Goal accomplished. But if you think of this as an 1:25:18.970 --> 1:25:22.530 intentional thing in the name of globalism or, well, maybe 1:25:22.590 --> 1:25:25.050 just trying to kneecap the United States of America, whose 1:25:25.290 --> 1:25:29.689 recipe for success has obviously worked out better than anywhere 1:25:29.790 --> 1:25:33.190 else in the world, that freedom concept has translated into 1:25:33.350 --> 1:25:36.570 opportunity for so many. I can't do what I want here. 1:25:37.030 --> 1:25:40.100 I'm going there to get it accomplished, whatever it happens 1:25:40.140 --> 1:25:42.360 to be. That's how we drew the best and brightest. 1:25:44.550 --> 1:25:47.930 No guarantees. When you talk about Ellis Island, a wax 1:25:47.970 --> 1:25:50.110 poetic about give me your tired and your poor and 1:25:50.130 --> 1:25:51.710 all that. Yeah, well, that was a time before we 1:25:51.729 --> 1:25:54.610 had a social welfare safety net. The entire world can't 1:25:54.630 --> 1:25:56.530 hook itself up to that. But if you're able to 1:25:56.610 --> 1:25:58.700 get out of your country and show up here and 1:25:58.720 --> 1:26:01.520 you want to work hard, nothing was standing in the way. 1:26:01.640 --> 1:26:04.120 That's how we ended up becoming so successful. The best 1:26:04.180 --> 1:26:07.180 and the brightest from around the globe came here and, well, 1:26:07.260 --> 1:26:13.450 started working. Now, when I look at what Donald Trump 1:26:13.490 --> 1:26:15.470 has done, much to the chagrin of the left, this 1:26:15.550 --> 1:26:17.850 is one of the reasons they've so wigged out. Donald 1:26:17.890 --> 1:26:21.490 Trump was a massive monkey wrench thrown into the left's 1:26:21.570 --> 1:26:24.889 long-term plans. First time he got elected, they could not 1:26:24.930 --> 1:26:27.850 believe what happened. Hillary Clinton was supposed to be elected. 1:26:27.930 --> 1:26:33.550 It was a given. He was a disrupting force to 1:26:33.570 --> 1:26:37.530 their global goals, I am convinced. Then we see the 1:26:37.560 --> 1:26:44.260 Inspector General, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under President Joe Biden and, 1:26:44.360 --> 1:26:48.270 of course, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. 1:26:49.350 --> 1:26:52.189 It's determined by the Inspector General report that they allowed 1:26:52.350 --> 1:26:55.250 millions of illegal aliens who overstayed their visas to stay 1:26:55.290 --> 1:26:56.570 in the country. From 21 to 24, ICE received more 1:26:56.610 --> 1:26:58.590 than 3.1 million leads on visa overstays. 1:26:58.590 --> 1:26:58.790 3.1 million. 1:27:07.420 --> 1:27:11.919 About 104,000 of them have been classified as potential national 1:27:11.960 --> 1:27:14.939 security or public safety threats. All right, so there's your 1:27:15.010 --> 1:27:18.830 legitimate concern right there. Okay, let's ignore the 3.1 million overstaged. 1:27:18.850 --> 1:27:23.810 Let's focus, shall we, on 104,000 classified as potential national 1:27:23.830 --> 1:27:27.990 security or public safety threats? No, they didn't. According to 1:27:28.010 --> 1:27:30.930 the Inspector General Report, fewer than 500 of the national 1:27:30.970 --> 1:27:36.110 security public safety threat leads were investigated. Of 104,000... fewer 1:27:36.150 --> 1:27:39.530 than 500. They had no interest in the Biden administration 1:27:39.570 --> 1:27:43.860 to deport anyone, even criminal types. Welcome to the disruptive 1:27:43.900 --> 1:27:49.479 force of Donald Trump 2.0. Borders immediately shut. Plans disrupted. 1:27:50.160 --> 1:27:54.660 No more, well, culturally dividing people, humanity, flood the humanity 1:27:54.700 --> 1:27:55.660 flowing into our country. 1:27:59.740 --> 1:27:59.860 And? 1:28:00.960 --> 1:28:03.280 Just the other day, the United States Supreme Court reversed 1:28:03.300 --> 1:28:06.880 the lower court restrictions and approved the Trump administration's plan 1:28:06.900 --> 1:28:10.990 to end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of 1:28:11.030 --> 1:28:17.090 Venezuelan migrants. Temporary means temporary. Supreme Court vacated the Ninth 1:28:17.130 --> 1:28:19.970 Circuit ruling that said you can't kick them out. Guess what? 1:28:20.010 --> 1:28:23.140 There's 300,000 more people eligible to be deported from our 1:28:23.180 --> 1:28:26.810 country and deported. We're just going to rely on the law. 1:28:26.850 --> 1:28:29.150 That's the Supreme Court. We said it was temporary. How 1:28:29.189 --> 1:28:31.070 else do you determine what the word temporary means? You 1:28:31.090 --> 1:28:36.229 look at the definition of it. Temporary. That is a 1:28:36.310 --> 1:28:40.480 disruptive force to what the far left is doing. wants 1:28:42.080 --> 1:28:44.560 maybe we can keep and cling to the reality that 1:28:44.600 --> 1:28:47.060 this is the unique country that it is and once 1:28:47.120 --> 1:28:53.720 again unify perhaps someday unify at least under the concept 1:28:53.960 --> 1:28:57.820 of freedom enjoy it while you got it 728 thomas 1:28:57.880 --> 1:28:59.430 i was asking we the people convention gonna be on 1:28:59.479 --> 1:29:02.260 next First, I want to mention great electricians, and that's 1:29:02.300 --> 1:29:06.850 what you get when you call Cullen Electric. CullenElectricCincinnati.com is 1:29:06.860 --> 1:29:09.110 where you can find Cullen online. Andrew Cullen's got a 1:29:09.150 --> 1:29:11.769 great team of electricians. They work hard for you, and 1:29:11.790 --> 1:29:14.910 they have a price that's always right. The service is wonderful. 1:29:14.970 --> 1:29:16.849 They treat your home with great respect. They will treat 1:29:16.870 --> 1:29:19.050 you with great respect. And what I like to call 1:29:19.070 --> 1:29:22.460 a well-oiled machine of qualified electricians doing the projects in 1:29:22.479 --> 1:29:25.490 your house, whether it's a simple outlet install, wiring up 1:29:25.530 --> 1:29:27.920 your surround sound, your media room, or maybe doing some 1:29:27.960 --> 1:29:30.620 can lights, which I think they installed like 20 of 1:29:30.720 --> 1:29:33.620 them in our house. Great work, and what a terrific 1:29:33.680 --> 1:29:35.580 development that was for our home. But they also wired 1:29:35.620 --> 1:29:38.290 up our whole house generator. You get great work from Cullen. 1:29:38.310 --> 1:29:39.750 You know what? Everything they do for you comes with 1:29:39.790 --> 1:29:42.050 a 10-year wiring warranty, and you, of course, can hang 1:29:42.090 --> 1:29:44.110 your hat on that.

I recommend checking it 1:30:35.970 --> 1:30:37.810 out each and every week. It is a podcast. Got 1:30:37.830 --> 1:30:39.950 some great posts over there. Welcome back, Tom Z. It's 1:30:39.970 --> 1:30:42.390 a pleasure to have you on the show. Oh, good 1:30:42.410 --> 1:30:45.490 to be back with you, Brian. And it's here. 1:30:45.590 --> 1:30:49.430 It's finally here, right? It's time to vote. And, boy, 1:30:49.490 --> 1:30:51.850 it's going to be an interesting month for sure. 1:30:52.070 --> 1:30:54.330 No question about it. And it's going to be a 1:30:54.350 --> 1:30:58.490 long time before we get the results. Well, anyway, have 1:30:58.510 --> 1:31:00.979 you got any recent polling information that we can count on, Tom? 1:31:03.130 --> 1:31:05.630 Yeah, I don't think there is any such thing. You know, 1:31:05.689 --> 1:31:07.769 that's my take on it. I mean, the thing that 1:31:07.810 --> 1:31:10.420 makes the most sense to me was I saw a 1:31:10.479 --> 1:31:14.380 CNN report where the guy was saying, you know, here's 1:31:14.640 --> 1:31:18.070 one thing that's true, that in, you know, 16, 20, 1:31:18.040 --> 1:31:22.740 and 24, the polls in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania 1:31:22.760 --> 1:31:27.730 and Michigan underestimated the Republican vote. by 6%, 8%, or 10%. 1:31:27.729 --> 1:31:33.830 And I think that's legitimate. They're over-polling Democrats. I don't 1:31:33.870 --> 1:31:37.570 think the people on our side, conservatives, even want to 1:31:37.610 --> 1:31:41.250 participate in a poll. So the best poll is, what 1:31:41.270 --> 1:31:43.479 are you hearing from the people around you? What are 1:31:43.490 --> 1:31:46.320 you hearing when you're talking to your friends, neighbors, the 1:31:46.340 --> 1:31:49.360 people at work, the people at church? That's your best poll. 1:31:49.820 --> 1:31:53.460 And we've got to just keep working to give people 1:31:53.479 --> 1:31:58.059 the binary choice. Brian, it's a binary choice. It's real simple. 1:31:58.360 --> 1:32:01.770 Do you want to continue with the progress we've made? Like, hey, 1:32:02.050 --> 1:32:04.990 let's keep the border closed. Do you want to continue with, 1:32:05.010 --> 1:32:07.550 you know, having energy? Do you want to continue with, 1:32:07.870 --> 1:32:11.849 you know, getting rid of DEI and stopping these trans surgeries? 1:32:12.330 --> 1:32:13.229 Or do you want to go back? 1:32:13.630 --> 1:32:15.190 Do you want to go back to where we were 1:32:15.270 --> 1:32:19.450 four years ago, where the government is ruling over you? And, 1:32:19.520 --> 1:32:23.740 you know, basically the democratic socialists do what they're doing 1:32:24.080 --> 1:32:25.400 in France to us here. 1:32:26.040 --> 1:32:29.019 That's the choice. It's not between Republicans and Democrats. 1:32:29.080 --> 1:32:32.620 And, you know, the email I put out yesterday statewide 1:32:33.160 --> 1:32:35.740 was really different than the ones I put out before. 1:32:36.200 --> 1:32:38.800 I said in the past 17 years, I sent these 1:32:38.920 --> 1:32:41.900 emails out before every election, encouraging you to vote for 1:32:41.939 --> 1:32:44.800 the candidates we endorse. I would send you their pictures, 1:32:45.260 --> 1:32:47.620 links to their websites, and explain why you should vote 1:32:47.640 --> 1:32:50.260 for them. But I'm not doing that this year. This 1:32:50.300 --> 1:32:52.519 year is different. This year, you and I are voting 1:32:53.229 --> 1:32:55.790 in our own personal best interest, you and I are 1:32:55.830 --> 1:32:58.950 voting to protect our nation from a very real and 1:32:59.010 --> 1:33:02.240 serious communist Islamist threat within our borders. 1:33:02.700 --> 1:33:04.439 And that's what the vote is about. 1:33:05.000 --> 1:33:06.800 And we're going to try to make that clear to 1:33:06.840 --> 1:33:08.060 everybody through our messaging. 1:33:08.080 --> 1:33:10.639 And you think it will be clear to everybody just 1:33:10.820 --> 1:33:13.140 as a matter of course, people looking around them and 1:33:13.180 --> 1:33:15.790 just observing what's happened to our country over just a 1:33:15.810 --> 1:33:18.860 very short window of time, Tom. I I mean, I 1:33:18.900 --> 1:33:21.320 can't believe that we're living in the United States of 1:33:21.380 --> 1:33:25.379 America where a socialist and admitted, I mean, almost Marxist 1:33:25.600 --> 1:33:28.330 can be elected. And yet here we have multiple people 1:33:28.370 --> 1:33:32.610 of that political mindset being elected to high office. I 1:33:34.370 --> 1:33:36.610 just worry, perhaps, Tom, that maybe a little too late 1:33:36.810 --> 1:33:37.469 here in America. 1:33:38.870 --> 1:33:42.920 Well, that's possible. Right, Brian? I mean, you know, we 1:33:42.960 --> 1:33:43.580 don't have any. 1:33:44.330 --> 1:33:47.670 You know, if you read history, right, what's that thing about, 1:33:47.930 --> 1:33:51.650 you know, democracies last 250 years? And that's pretty much 1:33:51.710 --> 1:33:54.710 throughout history. So are we the exception to that or 1:33:54.910 --> 1:33:57.849 are we going to be? subject to that same rule. 1:33:58.270 --> 1:34:02.860 And yeah, we've destroyed ourselves. The problem with being wealthy 1:34:02.880 --> 1:34:05.600 is you get lazy and you don't remember how you 1:34:05.680 --> 1:34:08.940 earned that wealth and you don't understand what you have 1:34:08.960 --> 1:34:11.450 to do to protect it. And we're paying the price 1:34:11.510 --> 1:34:11.929 for that. 1:34:12.350 --> 1:34:15.550 But is it too late? I don't think it's too late. 1:34:15.570 --> 1:34:18.669 I mean, well, I know it's not too late because. 1:34:18.470 --> 1:34:21.110 I know that if we stand up and we vote 1:34:21.150 --> 1:34:25.440 this November and we keep President Trump's agenda on track, 1:34:26.000 --> 1:34:28.780 We're going to destroy the left. We're going to stop 1:34:28.840 --> 1:34:31.490 what happened in France. And that's what I'm urging people 1:34:31.530 --> 1:34:33.950 to do. It's real simple. You don't have to go 1:34:34.010 --> 1:34:37.410 take a gun and fight like our grandfathers and fathers did, 1:34:37.430 --> 1:34:40.870 or fight like they had to in Iraq and Afghanistan. 1:34:41.229 --> 1:34:43.150 You just have to show up and vote. And if 1:34:43.189 --> 1:34:45.760 you do that, you'll do more to stop communism and 1:34:45.820 --> 1:34:50.040 socialism and Islamism in this world than anything you could 1:34:50.200 --> 1:34:50.620 ever have. 1:34:50.560 --> 1:34:52.840 Done in history. Just show up and vote. 1:34:53.180 --> 1:34:56.010 That's how you defeat communism. And, you know, I think 1:34:56.050 --> 1:34:57.950 our people are smart enough to figure that out. 1:34:58.260 --> 1:34:59.759 I hope so. And I hate to have to express 1:34:59.800 --> 1:35:03.139 it in such dreary existential terms, but I really think 1:35:03.180 --> 1:35:04.979 that's how we have to talk about it to make 1:35:05.420 --> 1:35:08.220 sure people are fully aware of how close we are 1:35:08.240 --> 1:35:13.180 to the precipice and falling into it. We'll continue. WeThePeopleConvention.org. 1:35:13.240 --> 1:35:17.120 Check out Tom's Liberty Requires Citizens Who Are Informed and 1:35:17.189 --> 1:35:19.930 Engaged podcast. Maybe a word or two on that when 1:35:19.970 --> 1:35:23.830 we get back. Tom Z, don't go away. It's 736, 1:35:23.830 --> 1:35:26.070 and it's time for me to mention the fantastic product 1:35:26.110 --> 1:35:29.970 that is RhinoShield. What an amazing product.

Northbound 75, slow 1:36:53.910 --> 1:36:56.570 out of Erlanger into the cut. And from before the 1:36:56.640 --> 1:37:00.679 lateral to an accident in the Lachlan split near Galbraith. 1:37:00.720 --> 1:37:04.979 Southbound 71, brake lights, fields, Ertl to Pfeiffer. Westbound 275, 1:37:04.979 --> 1:37:09.370 heavy between 5 Mile and the New Richmond ramp. Chuck Ingram, 55KRC, 1:37:09.590 --> 1:37:10.530 the talk station. 1:37:10.530 --> 1:37:16.349 741, 55KRC, the talk station. Brian Thomas with the Tom 1:37:16.370 --> 1:37:20.059 Zawistowski League of People Convention. Yeah, just going through all 1:37:20.120 --> 1:37:25.979 the nefarious actions the globalists, socialists are using to divide us, 1:37:26.040 --> 1:37:29.280 Tom Z. And I saw your podcast about liberty requires 1:37:29.320 --> 1:37:31.060 citizens to reform and engage. And I think one of 1:37:31.090 --> 1:37:34.390 the more nefarious underlying elements of this is our children 1:37:34.530 --> 1:37:39.370 in our public schools anyway are either not taught civics, 1:37:39.430 --> 1:37:43.170 the reason our founding fathers formed the country, fought the 1:37:43.210 --> 1:37:47.979 Revolutionary War, the purpose and principles behind the Constitution. There's 1:37:48.020 --> 1:37:50.980 no understanding of that, and so there's no connection with 1:37:51.020 --> 1:37:53.229 it from a cultural standpoint. You've got an influx of 1:37:53.430 --> 1:37:55.990 mass quantities of migrants who aren't connected with our culture, 1:37:56.070 --> 1:38:01.349 and nor are they required to assimilate into this American culture. 1:38:01.390 --> 1:38:05.590 And then you have the divisions on other cultural issues 1:38:05.630 --> 1:38:11.640 like sexuality of human beings, the erosion of religion. It's just, Tom, 1:38:11.780 --> 1:38:16.860 everywhere you turn, There's some eroding force that if people 1:38:16.900 --> 1:38:20.799 were smarter and paid closer attention or, for example, studied 1:38:20.860 --> 1:38:24.450 history and realized that even around us right now, socialist 1:38:24.490 --> 1:38:27.390 countries are falling like dominoes in South America. 1:38:27.729 --> 1:38:27.969 Why? 1:38:27.990 --> 1:38:31.090 Because people know and understand history. lived through it that 1:38:31.150 --> 1:38:33.850 it sucks you know what side of people did the 1:38:33.910 --> 1:38:36.479 humanity flow when the berlin wall fell down or east 1:38:36.660 --> 1:38:39.360 when the berlin wall was up people wanted to leave 1:38:39.479 --> 1:38:42.690 east berlin that's why they put the wall up It's just, 1:38:43.590 --> 1:38:46.110 how is it that it can have inroads in people 1:38:46.150 --> 1:38:50.120 who have a profoundly long and detailed history of failure? Tom, 1:38:50.180 --> 1:38:50.920 I'm frustrated. 1:38:52.200 --> 1:38:54.180 I know, and I hear the frustration. 1:38:54.500 --> 1:38:56.920 And so I want to give you some hope and 1:38:57.700 --> 1:39:00.979 just let people feel a little better. So you made 1:39:01.020 --> 1:39:05.240 a very important connection. What's going on in South America? 1:39:05.870 --> 1:39:09.550 The bottom line is, is that South America was almost 1:39:09.770 --> 1:39:14.060 totally communist in was being taken over by the Chinese 1:39:14.460 --> 1:39:16.660 under Obama, under Biden. 1:39:17.120 --> 1:39:21.200 Why? Because we were being ripped off. 1:39:21.520 --> 1:39:27.309 They were taking our tax dollars to fund USAID, which 1:39:27.510 --> 1:39:33.730 instead of promoting American values and democracy, was promoting communism. 1:39:34.310 --> 1:39:39.099 And so what's happened? Donald Trump Cuts off USAID, puts 1:39:39.140 --> 1:39:43.730 them out of business. Nearly every country in America has 1:39:44.430 --> 1:39:48.510 gotten their freedom back, has elected a democratic government. And 1:39:48.530 --> 1:39:52.270 the big one, the shocking one, was Brazil just yesterday. 1:39:52.910 --> 1:39:56.310 Now, how are those two things connected? Well, guess what? 1:39:56.890 --> 1:39:59.310 They were doing the same thing to your children and 1:39:59.330 --> 1:40:05.179 to our children. Our government was paying this teachers' union 1:40:05.479 --> 1:40:08.680 to indoctrinate our children into communism. 1:40:09.160 --> 1:40:15.200 A teachers' union that adopted a platform that said America sucks, right? 1:40:15.320 --> 1:40:18.439 Boiling it down to its finest term or finest points. 1:40:18.780 --> 1:40:22.160 America sucks. 1619 Project whatever. We're inherently racist. We were 1:40:22.189 --> 1:40:25.450 born of original sin. We are irredeemable in every way, shape, 1:40:25.490 --> 1:40:28.430 and form, not focusing all the great and good things 1:40:28.740 --> 1:40:30.760 And the fact that we prop up so many governments 1:40:30.820 --> 1:40:32.060 around the world in the name of freedom, or at 1:40:32.090 --> 1:40:35.150 least we used to, the lifeline to so many poor 1:40:35.210 --> 1:40:38.590 and starving nations, that's us and our wealth. Without our wealth, 1:40:38.650 --> 1:40:40.910 we wouldn't be doing that, but we are indeed a 1:40:40.970 --> 1:40:43.850 great nation in spite of our warts. But that is 1:40:43.910 --> 1:40:49.920 not a narrative that's taught in school. We're just bad. Well, 1:40:50.260 --> 1:40:52.560 and so what's Donald Trump doing? 1:40:53.380 --> 1:40:56.880 This is what people don't understand, that he's not just 1:40:56.920 --> 1:41:01.730 a politician anymore. If you watch our podcast every week, 1:41:02.090 --> 1:41:05.670 there are five or six things that Donald Trump is 1:41:05.689 --> 1:41:10.910 doing every week to take apart that apparatus that destroyed 1:41:10.950 --> 1:41:14.820 our country. Just this past week, they finally put Title 1:41:15.000 --> 1:41:19.460 IX back to its original wording after Obama gutted it. 1:41:19.580 --> 1:41:23.380 Protecting women. The genesis of Title IX was to help 1:41:23.420 --> 1:41:26.060 women out. And we ended up the left ends up 1:41:26.140 --> 1:41:29.340 putting men in there, which undermines the point of title nine. 1:41:29.360 --> 1:41:32.080 They're supposed to be separate, basically separate, but equal, but 1:41:32.120 --> 1:41:32.740 in a good way. 1:41:34.320 --> 1:41:36.189 And Trump is fixing it. 1:41:37.090 --> 1:41:40.430 This is a stupid example, but just a couple weeks ago, 1:41:40.850 --> 1:41:44.410 Trump issued an order to get rid of the rain tax. 1:41:44.939 --> 1:41:45.960 What's the rain tax? 1:41:46.380 --> 1:41:49.540 Oh, when I was living in the People's Republic of Kent, Ohio, 1:41:49.860 --> 1:41:51.380 a few years ago, they said. 1:41:51.820 --> 1:41:54.780 Oh, your driveway, when it rains. 1:41:55.180 --> 1:41:57.390 The water flows off into the sewers. 1:41:57.630 --> 1:42:00.270 So now we're going to tax you. It's a rain tax. 1:42:00.860 --> 1:42:03.520 On your driveway, or if you're a small business on 1:42:03.560 --> 1:42:07.979 your parking lot, that was totally bogus. There was no 1:42:08.280 --> 1:42:12.670 basis for that. And Donald Trump just canceled it. This 1:42:12.750 --> 1:42:15.530 is what I'm saying. It's not like he's just doing 1:42:15.550 --> 1:42:18.830 the big things. He's doing the smallest things. 1:42:18.850 --> 1:42:21.570 You can imagine. That's what we needed. 1:42:21.910 --> 1:42:24.450 That's how we restore our constitution. 1:42:24.850 --> 1:42:26.450 And that's why you got to vote. 1:42:26.410 --> 1:42:31.820 For every Republican on the ballot and against Every single Democrat. 1:42:32.000 --> 1:42:37.060 I don't care. City council, mayor, dog catcher, sheriff. I 1:42:37.080 --> 1:42:40.700 don't care. You must vote against every Democrat. 1:42:41.050 --> 1:42:41.390 Why? 1:42:41.990 --> 1:42:46.270 Because they're going to be coerced. The Democrat socialists are 1:42:46.330 --> 1:42:49.170 saying it. You can see them say it. Oh, if 1:42:49.229 --> 1:42:52.150 Sherrod Brown wins, you think Sherrod Brown's going to vote 1:42:52.170 --> 1:42:53.740 the way he thinks he should vote? 1:42:53.760 --> 1:42:55.580 He doesn't have an independent thought, Tom. 1:42:55.600 --> 1:42:55.680 Nope. 1:42:59.220 --> 1:43:02.100 And so understand, so if you're a Democrat listening to this, 1:43:02.500 --> 1:43:03.439 if you're listening to this right. 1:43:03.340 --> 1:43:05.189 Now, you're a Democrat, here's your problem. 1:43:05.729 --> 1:43:08.430 You can't vote for any Democrat because you don't know 1:43:08.470 --> 1:43:12.469 what you're getting. They may be the most moderate, quote-unquote, Democrat, 1:43:12.610 --> 1:43:15.130 you know, the old Hubert Humphrey Democrat. You've known this 1:43:15.210 --> 1:43:19.439 woman for 25 years, and she's a wonderful person, but 1:43:19.460 --> 1:43:20.320 you don't understand. 1:43:20.800 --> 1:43:22.340 Just like in Virginia. 1:43:21.900 --> 1:43:24.900 When they elected Spanberg, who said she's a moderate, and 1:43:24.939 --> 1:43:27.380 the day she took office, she turned into a commie. 1:43:27.990 --> 1:43:29.650 This is what's going to happen to. 1:43:29.790 --> 1:43:34.350 Every Democrat because communism is government at the point of 1:43:34.410 --> 1:43:35.020 a gun. 1:43:35.620 --> 1:43:40.300 You can't elect any Democrat. And that's the only way 1:43:40.360 --> 1:43:42.900 we can defeat this threat within our country. 1:43:43.060 --> 1:43:45.870 And if we do this, Donald Trump is going to 1:43:45.930 --> 1:43:46.950 destroy democracy. 1:43:47.340 --> 1:43:47.580 Them. 1:43:47.660 --> 1:43:50.260 They will never, I keep saying this, this is the 1:43:50.300 --> 1:43:53.639 year we win the war. In 30 days from now, Brian, 1:43:54.040 --> 1:43:57.100 we win the war against the left in the United States. 1:43:57.300 --> 1:44:01.889 The Democratic Party will cease to exist this November 3rd 1:44:02.170 --> 1:44:03.229 if you show up and vote. 1:44:04.189 --> 1:44:07.970 That is a bold, bold statement, Tom. 1:44:09.210 --> 1:44:09.270 Z. 1:44:09.330 --> 1:44:12.889 I can back it up. I can prove it. I'll 1:44:12.910 --> 1:44:14.650 let you do some concluding thoughts. We'll have a couple 1:44:14.689 --> 1:44:16.930 minutes when we come back at most, but Gather your 1:44:16.990 --> 1:44:20.870 concluding thoughts. It's wethepeopleconvention.org.

It's close to where 1:44:56.110 --> 1:44:58.290 the grill is. They got their picnic table out there 1:44:58.410 --> 1:45:00.820 on it. And, you know, it just looked terrible. Flaking 1:45:00.960 --> 1:45:03.580 old kind of a rusty red color of regular paint 1:45:03.600 --> 1:45:05.320 that had been put on it.

Communism, Islamism, it's right there. You're 1:46:33.720 --> 1:46:36.400 pointing it out all morning long. And so do you 1:46:36.439 --> 1:46:38.860 want to see President Trump impeached for the next two years? 1:46:39.300 --> 1:46:41.170 Do you want to see everything we've done stopped? 1:46:41.620 --> 1:46:44.390 Well, then stay home. Don't vote or vote for a Democrat. 1:46:44.770 --> 1:46:46.790 If you want to go forward, if you want us 1:46:46.830 --> 1:46:50.750 to continue to gut their ability to cheat in elections, 1:46:50.990 --> 1:46:53.660 if you want us to continue to improve our economy 1:46:53.720 --> 1:46:56.760 and get the government out of your life, well, then 1:46:56.840 --> 1:46:57.560 show up and vote. 1:46:57.900 --> 1:47:00.179 And so, you know, I guarantee you. 1:47:00.380 --> 1:47:02.930 This is, you know, everybody says it's the most important 1:47:02.970 --> 1:47:04.350 election in your lifetime. 1:47:04.729 --> 1:47:04.929 Right. 1:47:04.990 --> 1:47:08.150 Or most important. And this is. But that's not going 1:47:08.170 --> 1:47:10.070 to be the case going forward. Right. 1:47:10.170 --> 1:47:12.950 When you invaded Normandy, that was the most important battle 1:47:13.010 --> 1:47:15.110 in the war. And then if you after that, it 1:47:15.150 --> 1:47:17.189 was a battle of the bulge. And after that, it was, 1:47:17.350 --> 1:47:20.200 you know, gets overthrowing Berlin. And then it was defeating 1:47:20.220 --> 1:47:21.139 the Imperial Japanese. 1:47:21.439 --> 1:47:25.570 But at some point you win the war. This is 1:47:25.600 --> 1:47:27.299 the year we win the war. 1:47:27.900 --> 1:47:33.960 You vote this year against every Democrat, we win the war, 1:47:34.360 --> 1:47:36.780 and they will never be back in power in. 1:47:36.720 --> 1:47:37.660 This country again. 1:47:38.939 --> 1:47:41.900 You heard it from Tom Zawistowski, and I'm with him. 1:47:42.660 --> 1:47:45.340 This is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Speaking of what's 1:48:04.710 --> 1:48:09.590 going on in South America, Francis Martel, the international expert 1:48:09.670 --> 1:48:11.689 over at Breitbart News, going to do the inside scoop 1:48:11.720 --> 1:48:13.960 after the top of the hour news. Great development, plus 1:48:13.979 --> 1:48:16.120 the Daniel Davis deep dive. Not so much fun and 1:48:16.140 --> 1:48:18.040 games going on with the Iranians, but we'll get the 1:48:18.100 --> 1:48:21.719 deep dive from Daniel at 8.30, and we'll talk Second 1:48:21.760 --> 1:48:26.260 Amendment with Jeff from 22.3 Firearms at 8.50. We got 1:48:26.280 --> 1:48:30.640 some new developments in terms of suppressors, short-barreled rifles, more 1:48:30.920 --> 1:48:34.939 lawsuits being resolved in the Second Amendment's favor. It's good stuff. 1:48:34.970 --> 1:48:42.330 Don't go away. Every four years, the presidency. Every two years, everything. Yeah, 1:48:42.370 --> 1:48:43.070 this is not good. 1:48:43.530 --> 1:48:46.380 The midterms on 55KRC. 1:48:46.960 --> 1:48:48.380 This report is sponsored. 1:48:48.400 --> 1:48:49.980 Or you go to the doctor and the doctor says 1:48:50.060 --> 1:48:51.280 you need to really exercise. 1:48:51.560 --> 1:48:54.420 How long before that is put on your medical record? 1:48:54.520 --> 1:48:55.360 Glenn Beck. 1:48:55.500 --> 1:48:59.760 Weekdays at 9 on 55KRC, the talk station. 1:48:59.760 --> 1:49:06.980 8.05 at 55KRCD Talk Station. Brian Thomas here welcoming you 1:49:07.040 --> 1:49:12.390 back to the 55KRCD Morning Show. International expert Francis Martel 1:49:12.400 --> 1:49:17.290 doing the Breitbart Insights Group. As I always start, Breitbart, B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com. 1:49:17.330 --> 1:49:18.970 Bookmark it. You'll be glad you did. You can read 1:49:18.990 --> 1:49:22.310 what Francis Martel writes about. Most notably, some great news 1:49:23.030 --> 1:49:26.240 out of Brazil. Welcome back, Francis. Great to have you 1:49:26.260 --> 1:49:26.920 on the program again. 1:49:28.040 --> 1:49:29.220 Thanks so much for having me back. 1:49:29.479 --> 1:49:31.590 What an amazing thing going on in South America. As 1:49:31.650 --> 1:49:35.009 this crazy country of ours goes full on, it seems, 1:49:35.090 --> 1:49:37.630 although we can save us from ourselves here at the 1:49:37.650 --> 1:49:42.010 beginning of November, full-on socialists come communists. The rest of 1:49:42.030 --> 1:49:44.150 the world seems to have gotten the memo. It sucks 1:49:44.210 --> 1:49:46.550 to live under socialism and communism. We need to go 1:49:46.570 --> 1:49:49.030 a different direction. And Brazil, I guess, is the next one. 1:49:49.430 --> 1:49:50.910 It looks like it's going to go in that direction 1:49:50.950 --> 1:49:53.780 with the election the other day. It hasn't been definitively concluded, 1:49:53.840 --> 1:50:00.930 but Flavio Bolasnaro won by, what, 47 to 42 or 1:50:00.970 --> 1:50:02.070 something like that, Frances? 1:50:03.260 --> 1:50:05.280 Yes, much bigger than anticipated. 1:50:05.340 --> 1:50:08.200 I know that doesn't sound very big, but every poll 1:50:08.320 --> 1:50:11.580 before the election was a statistical tie with. 1:50:11.439 --> 1:50:13.559 Lula, the incumbent president, in the lead. 1:50:13.640 --> 1:50:18.020 And the incumbent president is a hardcore Marxist, former labor leader, 1:50:18.189 --> 1:50:22.870 a guy very much admired by the international Marxist coalition leaders. 1:50:23.560 --> 1:50:26.540 President Obama once called him the most popular politician on earth. 1:50:27.180 --> 1:50:29.960 So this is a real heavyweight in the international left, 1:50:30.200 --> 1:50:32.400 and he was expected to take a slight lead, and 1:50:32.420 --> 1:50:35.599 he actually lost by a couple percentage points, which was unexpected. 1:50:35.920 --> 1:50:38.040 Which takes him into a runoff. Now, I get the 1:50:38.080 --> 1:50:41.059 impression there were other candidates beyond these two, correct? 1:50:42.090 --> 1:50:43.340 Yes, there were 13. 1:50:43.340 --> 1:50:46.030 13. So all the other people who voted for those 1:50:46.110 --> 1:50:48.250 other candidates now are going to have to choose between 1:50:48.270 --> 1:50:51.460 the two, and given the the outsized win on the, 1:50:51.540 --> 1:50:53.830 at least what we call the conservative side from Harper's 1:50:53.850 --> 1:50:58.750 political perspective, by all accounts, he is forecasted to win. 1:51:00.210 --> 1:51:01.269 Yes, there were only. 1:51:01.130 --> 1:51:03.750 About three other candidates that made it on the board at. 1:51:03.810 --> 1:51:06.610 All that made more than 1% support. 1:51:07.220 --> 1:51:11.260 And those were center to right-leaning candidates. The left was very, 1:51:11.300 --> 1:51:14.680 very unified in this election. There were no other candidates 1:51:14.720 --> 1:51:17.360 taking away votes from Lula, which means if you take 1:51:17.400 --> 1:51:20.380 away the other candidates, The likelihood is that those voters 1:51:20.420 --> 1:51:21.540 are going to go for Bolsonaro. 1:51:21.580 --> 1:51:22.500 They're not going to go for Lula. 1:51:23.240 --> 1:51:25.960 Well, there's other indications, too, because I understand that the 1:51:26.439 --> 1:51:30.350 conservatives won a lot of victories in the Senate seats 1:51:30.400 --> 1:51:32.349 as well. So kind of like ours, you have, you know, 1:51:32.650 --> 1:51:35.230 the president and then you've got the other elected officials below. 1:51:35.270 --> 1:51:38.229 But described as the best electoral performance in 40 years, 1:51:38.310 --> 1:51:40.990 according to the Breitbart reporting I'm looking at, Francis. 1:51:42.470 --> 1:51:45.050 Yes, this was a historic win for the right in 1:51:45.070 --> 1:51:47.780 the Brazilian Congress. And by the way, Brazil is one 1:51:47.800 --> 1:51:51.120 of my favorite countries to cover politically because their system 1:51:51.180 --> 1:51:53.910 is so similar to ours. They have a federal government 1:51:54.010 --> 1:51:55.470 with separation of. 1:51:55.830 --> 1:51:57.689 Powers between the governors and the president. 1:51:58.010 --> 1:51:58.750 They have states. 1:51:59.560 --> 1:52:02.100 Separated, same as us, and then their Congress is a 1:52:02.140 --> 1:52:04.330 lower House and a Senate, same as us. 1:52:04.460 --> 1:52:06.240 So it's very easy to follow. 1:52:07.240 --> 1:52:10.320 And the right wing, and particularly the Liberal Party, which 1:52:10.390 --> 1:52:14.530 is actually the right wing party in Brazil, they doubled, 1:52:14.610 --> 1:52:16.470 almost doubled the number of seats in the Senate. They 1:52:16.490 --> 1:52:19.610 went from 15 seats to 28. And that's not even 1:52:19.670 --> 1:52:20.570 counting other. 1:52:20.370 --> 1:52:23.389 Right wing parties who also grooved. in this election. 1:52:23.430 --> 1:52:25.170 So it was just a massive win for the right 1:52:25.570 --> 1:52:27.990 in the legislature. And that's going to be a, if 1:52:28.090 --> 1:52:30.049 Lula does win, that's going to be a huge problem 1:52:30.090 --> 1:52:31.939 for him. And it's also going to be a huge 1:52:31.979 --> 1:52:35.400 problem for the Supreme court, which is completely dominated by 1:52:35.460 --> 1:52:39.400 the left and has been extremely dictatorial, um, in the past, 1:52:39.460 --> 1:52:41.650 I'd say eight years in politics. 1:52:43.189 --> 1:52:46.809 Many parallels can be drawn. Can't they Francis between us 1:52:46.910 --> 1:52:52.979 and Well, since they have been under this communist guy's 1:52:53.060 --> 1:52:56.280 rule for so long, elected he was, what has changed 1:52:56.340 --> 1:52:58.820 the tide? I have been told that part of it 1:52:58.860 --> 1:53:02.220 may be the fact that deficit spending has caused inflation 1:53:02.260 --> 1:53:04.090 to jump through the roof there. And, gee, couldn't we 1:53:04.100 --> 1:53:05.650 learn a lesson from that here as well? 1:53:07.250 --> 1:53:09.429 Yes, it's a little bit of everything. It's the fact 1:53:09.470 --> 1:53:13.100 that Lula is 80 years old. He's about to turn 81. 1:53:13.100 --> 1:53:16.360 He's running for a fourth term. He's been president for 1:53:16.360 --> 1:53:19.180 12 years. So, you know, all the promises he made 1:53:19.220 --> 1:53:21.280 that he was going to lift people out of poverty, that, 1:53:21.340 --> 1:53:22.960 you know, your life's going to be great. You're going 1:53:23.000 --> 1:53:24.980 to get a bunch of free stuff. It's been 12 1:53:24.979 --> 1:53:27.910 years and people are seeing that there's no major changes. 1:53:29.130 --> 1:53:32.330 And the other aspect to this is that the tide 1:53:32.370 --> 1:53:36.450 was already turning rightward in all of Latin America before 1:53:36.520 --> 1:53:37.070 COVID hit. 1:53:37.310 --> 1:53:39.400 We saw some major right wing victories there. 1:53:39.400 --> 1:53:41.150 2018, 2019, 2020 hits. 1:53:41.170 --> 1:53:46.910 And basically every country that had an incumbent right-wing leader 1:53:46.990 --> 1:53:50.130 kicked them out because they were sick of the response 1:53:50.189 --> 1:53:52.770 to COVID. And that happened with Brazil too. They kicked 1:53:52.810 --> 1:53:54.950 Bolsonaro out and brought Lula back. 1:53:55.630 --> 1:53:57.290 And a lot of people say that election is rigged, 1:53:57.330 --> 1:53:58.250 but I disagree. 1:53:58.270 --> 1:54:02.210 I think just COVID, everybody on the continent voted against 1:54:02.270 --> 1:54:03.570 whoever was in office. 1:54:03.330 --> 1:54:06.910 When COVID happened. And so now we're seeing course correction. 1:54:07.360 --> 1:54:07.700 With that. 1:54:07.770 --> 1:54:08.849 We saw it in Colombia. 1:54:09.010 --> 1:54:12.930 They had their first left-wing president ever in Colombia after COVID, 1:54:13.070 --> 1:54:14.630 and they immediately went. 1:54:14.510 --> 1:54:17.470 Back this year to the right. We're seeing it, we 1:54:17.750 --> 1:54:19.310 saw it in Peru, in Chile. 1:54:19.630 --> 1:54:22.530 So we had these four post-COVID years of a kind 1:54:22.570 --> 1:54:26.090 of an aberration where people voted left because the incumbents 1:54:26.110 --> 1:54:27.530 were already all right-wing. 1:54:27.970 --> 1:54:30.110 And so Brazil is the next one where we're seeing 1:54:30.150 --> 1:54:30.870 that pattern. 1:54:31.229 --> 1:54:35.210 Lula came back because Bolsonaro was the incumbent during COVID. 1:54:35.590 --> 1:54:37.950 Bolsonaro's father, the The first one. 1:54:38.750 --> 1:54:40.970 And now Flavio seems to be in a better position 1:54:41.010 --> 1:54:41.430 to win. 1:54:41.470 --> 1:54:44.560 And I think that's part of the return to the 1:54:44.600 --> 1:54:47.360 rightward shift that had already begun in 2017, 2018. 1:54:47.360 --> 1:54:51.960 So they dabbled for a while based upon a temporary 1:54:52.040 --> 1:54:55.560 situation like COVID in that particular case. And we are 1:54:55.590 --> 1:54:58.270 on the verge of perhaps doing the same stupid thing 1:54:58.310 --> 1:55:00.430 because the price of gasoline has gone up, which in 1:55:00.490 --> 1:55:03.170 fact will ultimately come down once the supply chain issues 1:55:03.230 --> 1:55:05.770 are resolved and the wars resolve, which will happen. And 1:55:05.780 --> 1:55:07.510 then people will live with regret for voting for a 1:55:07.510 --> 1:55:09.270 bunch of communists here in the United States. Can I 1:55:09.310 --> 1:55:11.570 draw that parallel, Francis Martel? 1:55:13.410 --> 1:55:15.530 I think, you know, I think you're onto something. 1:55:15.890 --> 1:55:18.410 And the difference is that luckily, you know, this election 1:55:18.430 --> 1:55:21.330 coming up for us is a midterm election. So if 1:55:21.390 --> 1:55:23.930 the left makes big wins in this midterm election, which 1:55:24.330 --> 1:55:26.170 I honestly think the wins are going to be much 1:55:26.230 --> 1:55:28.270 more modest for them than people anticipate. 1:55:28.870 --> 1:55:30.630 But they'll make some, you know, they'll make gains. 1:55:30.710 --> 1:55:33.910 People are annoyed by various things in the Trump administration. 1:55:34.390 --> 1:55:37.470 But there's still two years between that and the next 1:55:37.550 --> 1:55:40.850 presidential election. So I think, you know, if there is 1:55:40.890 --> 1:55:43.990 a major left wing gain in this midterm, the disaster 1:55:44.010 --> 1:55:46.930 that's going to follow that is going to affect the 1:55:46.950 --> 1:55:48.990 presidential race. And that's going to be, I think, a 1:55:49.010 --> 1:55:50.150 net benefit for the right. 1:55:50.730 --> 1:55:52.990 Well, I appreciate your optimism because not a whole lot 1:55:53.030 --> 1:55:55.290 of optimistic. These people on the conservative side of the 1:55:55.330 --> 1:55:57.690 ledger as we move forward to the election day in 1:55:57.730 --> 1:56:03.820 November can't. Anything else we can learn, Francis Martel, international 1:56:03.920 --> 1:56:07.620 expert from this Brazil race, or more broadly perhaps the 1:56:07.640 --> 1:56:10.890 fact that South America, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia 1:56:10.900 --> 1:56:13.610 have all done the same thing that Brazil seems to 1:56:13.630 --> 1:56:17.650 be doing now. It just looks to me like this 1:56:17.710 --> 1:56:20.830 is a great opportunity to show the crazies in this 1:56:20.890 --> 1:56:23.110 country who think moving to the left is the right 1:56:23.170 --> 1:56:25.890 thing to do, that disaster will befall. Look at the 1:56:25.970 --> 1:56:28.730 economic realities in these countries and look what the citizenry 1:56:28.770 --> 1:56:32.070 has done in response. Live under misery, you get a 1:56:32.110 --> 1:56:33.730 new direction and a better direction. 1:56:35.150 --> 1:56:38.170 Yes, I mean, I think the top reason why we 1:56:38.210 --> 1:56:41.900 saw this massive shift in Latin America is Venezuela. Venezuela 1:56:41.920 --> 1:56:47.060 went through periods of intense famine, starvation, extreme violence from 1:56:47.120 --> 1:56:52.280 about 2014 to 2018. And that period, during that period, 1:56:52.320 --> 1:56:55.580 we had mass migration of Venezuelans out of the country 1:56:55.600 --> 1:56:56.720 to the rest of Latin America. 1:56:57.330 --> 1:57:00.110 And those people told their stories and they really. 1:57:00.270 --> 1:57:02.600 You know, scared the rest of the continent. 1:57:02.760 --> 1:57:04.260 Nobody wants to be Venezuela. 1:57:04.920 --> 1:57:07.640 And so learning from other people's mistakes, I think is 1:57:07.660 --> 1:57:11.980 something that's extremely politically wise and important for a citizenry 1:57:12.020 --> 1:57:12.480 to do. 1:57:12.700 --> 1:57:14.400 And that's what a lot of Latin America has done. 1:57:14.420 --> 1:57:16.040 They said, we don't want to be Venezuela. We don't 1:57:16.060 --> 1:57:16.720 want to be Cuba. 1:57:17.430 --> 1:57:20.010 And the other part of this is the unity on 1:57:20.050 --> 1:57:22.110 the right in these countries. 1:57:22.470 --> 1:57:24.950 So the reason Flavio Bolsonaro is the candidate in. 1:57:24.890 --> 1:57:29.440 Brazil is because the Supreme Court banned Jair Bolsonaro from 1:57:29.500 --> 1:57:33.090 running for president. On these really dubious, he was accused 1:57:33.120 --> 1:57:36.750 of crimes against democracy for questioning the results. 1:57:36.510 --> 1:57:37.670 Of the 2022 election. 1:57:38.530 --> 1:57:40.070 More and more things that sound very. 1:57:39.950 --> 1:57:41.410 Familiar, right? 1:57:42.030 --> 1:57:44.110 You can't make this up, Frances. Go ahead. 1:57:44.170 --> 1:57:44.570 I know. 1:57:45.050 --> 1:57:48.450 So Jair can't run for any public office until he's 1:57:48.450 --> 1:57:50.110 105 years old, which is going to be in 2060. 1:57:50.100 --> 1:57:50.450 So his son ran. 1:57:52.710 --> 1:57:54.720 But this could have been a situation where you had 1:57:54.860 --> 1:57:58.420 eight different right-wing candidates all fighting for power, and they 1:57:58.480 --> 1:58:01.300 actually got it together. There's a very popular governor in 1:58:01.360 --> 1:58:02.740 Sao Paulo, Tarcisio. 1:58:03.190 --> 1:58:04.250 He could have been the candidate. 1:58:04.270 --> 1:58:06.570 He could have challenged Flavio, and he said, no, I'm 1:58:06.650 --> 1:58:10.820 going to back the one candidate because if we start spying, fracturing, 1:58:11.180 --> 1:58:12.300 then the left is going to win. 1:58:13.020 --> 1:58:14.760 And there were three or four candidates like that. 1:58:14.860 --> 1:58:19.100 Even Jair's wife, Michelle, who's Flavio's stepmom, she was considered 1:58:19.140 --> 1:58:19.620 a candidate. 1:58:19.980 --> 1:58:22.930 And they all lined up and they organized and they 1:58:22.970 --> 1:58:23.530 got a big. 1:58:23.410 --> 1:58:24.410 Win on Sunday. 1:58:24.490 --> 1:58:26.650 So I think that's a big lesson for us to 1:58:26.850 --> 1:58:29.670 learn on the right is that you have to organize. 1:58:29.990 --> 1:58:30.810 You have to have one. 1:58:30.730 --> 1:58:34.030 Candidate, not 15. 1:58:34.030 --> 1:58:37.650 And, you know, there has to be a full institutional. 1:58:36.970 --> 1:58:39.270 Support of that candidate because that's what the left does 1:58:39.310 --> 1:58:42.839 with their people. And sometimes, you know, we fracture. And 1:58:43.240 --> 1:58:45.780 that never ends up with positive election results. 1:58:45.860 --> 1:58:48.300 Well, drumbeat, this has been going on in the 55KRC 1:58:48.320 --> 1:58:50.260 morning show for a while, is, you know, don't throw 1:58:50.420 --> 1:58:53.100 out the good in search for the perfect. You're never 1:58:53.120 --> 1:58:55.120 going to get the latter. So hold your nose and 1:58:55.160 --> 1:58:58.380 vote for whichever right or conservative candidate you've got Because 1:58:58.400 --> 1:59:00.940 the other side is going to be full on socialism 1:59:00.980 --> 1:59:03.740 here because that's the dominant force in the Democratic Party. 1:59:05.500 --> 1:59:08.110 Yeah, these are not the Democrats from the 80s. 1:59:08.100 --> 1:59:12.500 You know, this is Tip O'Neill. So it makes a difference. 1:59:12.840 --> 1:59:15.220 And, you know, I'm in New Jersey, so we just 1:59:15.260 --> 1:59:17.540 have Democratic governance all the time, even though it's a 1:59:17.560 --> 1:59:21.320 purple state because of the political machines. And the political 1:59:21.360 --> 1:59:24.760 machines were essentially built on the back of voters not 1:59:24.840 --> 1:59:28.600 caring enough to build up an opposition, right? Just voters 1:59:28.640 --> 1:59:32.820 giving up on there being any viable opposition, being disenchanted 1:59:32.960 --> 1:59:34.920 with whatever opposition there is. They're never going to be 1:59:34.960 --> 1:59:37.300 good enough. And what you get from that is one 1:59:37.360 --> 1:59:38.080 party rule. 1:59:38.160 --> 1:59:40.700 And one party rule is always bad, even when it's conservative. 1:59:40.740 --> 1:59:41.720 I mean, Japan has had. 1:59:41.800 --> 1:59:45.690 Conservative prime ministers for like 20 years and that the 1:59:46.010 --> 1:59:48.570 conservative party is horrible because they have no competition. Um, 1:59:50.030 --> 1:59:54.610 So having competition and, you know, supporting an opposition is 1:59:54.750 --> 1:59:57.690 really important and really healthy for actually both sides of 1:59:57.730 --> 1:59:58.190 the spectrum. 1:59:58.480 --> 1:59:59.280 It's really important. 1:59:59.500 --> 2:00:02.400 I would agree. It fosters debate and discussion, which is 2:00:02.480 --> 2:00:07.420 good for everybody. Now, does this conservative rightward shift going 2:00:07.460 --> 2:00:10.320 on in South America, does this impact the Chinese Communist 2:00:10.340 --> 2:00:13.190 Party's influence as well? Because I know they were making 2:00:13.280 --> 2:00:15.830 inroads and they are everywhere. We're in this global competition 2:00:15.870 --> 2:00:18.760 for dominance with the Chinese Communist Party and their tentacles 2:00:18.800 --> 2:00:23.320 were far-reaching, but this suggests perhaps that this will put 2:00:23.360 --> 2:00:26.060 the brakes on it, maybe in Brazil, has it put 2:00:26.100 --> 2:00:27.620 the brakes on that kind of activity in the other 2:00:28.100 --> 2:00:30.200 countries that have gone more conservative, Frances? 2:00:31.480 --> 2:00:32.590 It absolutely has. 2:00:32.620 --> 2:00:35.990 I think the best example is Panama, where the Chinese 2:00:36.030 --> 2:00:39.670 had essentially taken over the Panama Canal by buying up 2:00:39.690 --> 2:00:43.590 the ports that were around the canal and controlling them, 2:00:44.050 --> 2:00:47.660 and they had, you know, sort of milk toast, corrupt 2:00:47.760 --> 2:00:51.380 lefty governments. I wouldn't say they had like Marxist communist governments, 2:00:51.400 --> 2:00:53.520 but they had left wing governments that were more than 2:00:53.560 --> 2:00:55.140 happy to take money from the Chinese. 2:00:55.960 --> 2:00:58.730 And then they finally voted for a conservative. 2:00:59.030 --> 2:01:01.850 President Molino, who's there now. They actually voted for him 2:01:01.890 --> 2:01:04.390 on immigration grounds. They wanted an end to the Darien 2:01:04.410 --> 2:01:07.490 gap disaster. They wanted someone to shut that down. Molino 2:01:07.510 --> 2:01:11.070 shut it down with Trump's help. But then also with 2:01:11.090 --> 2:01:15.050 the Trump administration's help, he, And through the Supreme Court, 2:01:15.390 --> 2:01:19.110 they basically voided the contract that gave these ports to China. 2:01:19.410 --> 2:01:21.830 So the Chinese got kicked out of the canal, and 2:01:21.870 --> 2:01:22.530 they're furious. 2:01:22.570 --> 2:01:25.250 They're suing the Panamanian government to get the canal back. 2:01:26.100 --> 2:01:29.570 And that's a major loss for China because controlling that 2:01:29.640 --> 2:01:33.240 trade route is massive for them. So that's probably their 2:01:33.260 --> 2:01:36.020 biggest loss, but they've lost a lot of traffic and 2:01:36.040 --> 2:01:36.580 business deals. 2:01:39.170 --> 2:01:39.930 Through the Belt and. 2:01:39.870 --> 2:01:42.890 Road, which is their infrastructure plan. I think Peru is 2:01:42.910 --> 2:01:43.850 a big problem for them. 2:01:43.930 --> 2:01:46.910 They're building a huge port on the Pacific coast there 2:01:46.930 --> 2:01:50.310 to bring in Chinese goods. And they just elected a 2:01:50.640 --> 2:01:53.220 hardline conservative Japanese president. 2:01:53.940 --> 2:01:55.340 So that's I don't think that's going to go well 2:01:55.360 --> 2:01:55.700 for them. 2:01:57.720 --> 2:02:01.060 You know, if they lose Brazil, you know, Brazil is 2:02:01.100 --> 2:02:01.300 one of. 2:02:01.280 --> 2:02:03.440 The few countries in the world that has a trade 2:02:03.540 --> 2:02:06.320 surplus with China because of agriculture. 2:02:06.720 --> 2:02:08.100 They grow a lot of soybeans. 2:02:08.140 --> 2:02:11.000 They grow a lot of stuff that Chinese markets need. 2:02:11.940 --> 2:02:14.680 So Brazil is really important to stay left-wing for the Chinese. 2:02:15.520 --> 2:02:15.760 All right. 2:02:15.800 --> 2:02:19.080 Now, do you draw any connection between the U.S. aid 2:02:19.180 --> 2:02:21.900 issues that we finally discovered when Doge got to work? 2:02:21.940 --> 2:02:26.260 Because many are suggesting that the Trump administration has shut 2:02:26.300 --> 2:02:30.260 off the funding, or at least we're not funding anti-American messages, 2:02:30.340 --> 2:02:33.260 which many suggest U.S. aid was actually doing in other countries. 2:02:33.300 --> 2:02:35.380 But what's your take on this whole connection with U.S. 2:02:35.480 --> 2:02:35.560 Aid? 2:02:36.110 --> 2:02:38.190 If you have one, I mean, I. 2:02:38.190 --> 2:02:39.700 Don't I don't buy this at all. 2:02:39.760 --> 2:02:40.880 I'm going to be honest with you. 2:02:40.920 --> 2:02:44.040 I think this is being that's being pushed by Twitter 2:02:44.340 --> 2:02:47.060 because Twitter is owned by Elon Musk, who is an 2:02:47.200 --> 2:02:50.200 ally of the Chinese Communist Party, who is, you know, 2:02:50.240 --> 2:02:52.920 his the one thing that he claims is an achievement 2:02:52.960 --> 2:02:55.580 during his time in the Trump years was shutting down USAID, 2:02:55.840 --> 2:02:57.620 which is actually Marco Rubio's achievement. 2:02:57.660 --> 2:02:59.200 But whatever. Right. 2:02:59.360 --> 2:03:02.320 So I think, you know, I think the Elon team 2:03:02.400 --> 2:03:06.140 really wants people to believe that. Shutting down USAID is 2:03:06.200 --> 2:03:09.260 what made the difference here. But the reason I challenge 2:03:09.280 --> 2:03:13.930 that is because it really disenfranchises Latin American voters. It 2:03:14.210 --> 2:03:16.610 makes it sound like, you know, we just determine what 2:03:16.650 --> 2:03:18.230 they think at any time. 2:03:19.310 --> 2:03:23.270 And I don't think that's fair. I think there's been significant. 2:03:22.630 --> 2:03:24.650 Shifts in the way people think in Latin America that 2:03:24.670 --> 2:03:25.670 have nothing to do with that. 2:03:25.970 --> 2:03:27.550 I think it's immigration, honestly. 2:03:27.650 --> 2:03:30.420 Like, if you look at the Brazil map, the state of. 2:03:30.420 --> 2:03:32.620 Roraima, which is the one that has the biggest border 2:03:32.640 --> 2:03:33.340 with Venezuela. 2:03:33.710 --> 2:03:35.310 was the only northern state to. 2:03:35.270 --> 2:03:38.690 Go bolsonaro that's because it has so many venezuelan immigrants 2:03:39.170 --> 2:03:42.070 that are now citizens that are voting um so it's 2:03:42.150 --> 2:03:45.070 kind of like the opposite the opposite of what we 2:03:45.110 --> 2:03:47.760 fear here oh there's a huge influx of immigrants that 2:03:47.780 --> 2:03:49.620 are going to vote left a lot. 2:03:49.480 --> 2:03:51.380 Of these countries chile too had a. 2:03:51.420 --> 2:03:55.160 Massive influx of venezuelan immigrants and the immigration is changing 2:03:55.220 --> 2:03:57.720 the demographics and it's actually pushing these countries to the. 2:03:57.680 --> 2:04:00.680 Right that you know so many parallels here francis i 2:04:00.720 --> 2:04:02.940 am so happy we had this conversation because you know 2:04:03.340 --> 2:04:05.180 It's hard enough for people to pay attention to what 2:04:05.200 --> 2:04:06.700 in the hell is going on in their own backyard. 2:04:06.720 --> 2:04:08.640 At least they don't dedicate enough time to that. To 2:04:08.680 --> 2:04:12.120 know what's happening politically in South America and specifically Brazil 2:04:12.140 --> 2:04:14.740 this morning, I think it's very insightful and helpful. And 2:04:14.760 --> 2:04:17.140 I appreciate you breaking it down, Frances Martel. This has 2:04:17.160 --> 2:04:18.060 been a great discussion. 2:04:19.090 --> 2:04:20.890 Thank you so much. It's always fun to share. 2:04:21.190 --> 2:04:23.020 I appreciate you joining the program from time to time. 2:04:23.050 --> 2:04:25.330 You are always welcome here on the 55KRC Morning Show, 2:04:25.350 --> 2:04:27.470 and I'll look forward to another conversation with you real soon. 2:04:27.630 --> 2:04:29.010 Keep up the great work there, please. 2:04:30.170 --> 2:04:32.410 Thank you so much. And back at you. This is 2:04:32.450 --> 2:04:32.930 a great show. 2:04:33.170 --> 2:04:37.330 Thank you very much. I appreciate that. 820-55-KRC-D Talk Station. 2:04:37.370 --> 2:04:39.190 Bottom of the hour with a Daniel Davis deep dive. 2:04:39.230 --> 2:04:41.810 Gird your loins. We'll see if he's got something positive 2:04:41.850 --> 2:04:45.160 to say about the unfolding situation with the war with 2:04:45.180 --> 2:04:48.060 the Iranians. And, of course, you've got the Houthis bombing 2:04:48.080 --> 2:04:49.860 the hell out of the Saudis. Let's check that out 2:04:49.880 --> 2:04:51.320 with Daniel Davis coming up at the bottom of the hour. 2:04:51.340 --> 2:04:54.400 In the meantime, let me mention CoverSensee because John Roman 2:04:54.420 --> 2:04:56.620 and the team at CoverSensee would welcome your phone call. 2:04:56.660 --> 2:04:59.380 You do not have to pay them a dime. The 2:04:59.420 --> 2:05:01.640 service they offer for you is free, and that's to 2:05:01.700 --> 2:05:04.880 analyze your medical insurance. And my friends are getting ready 2:05:04.900 --> 2:05:08.780 to sign up for Medicare again. Don't go automatic renewal. 2:05:08.900 --> 2:05:11.300 It is so important that you talk with John Ruhlman 2:05:11.600 --> 2:05:14.440 or any member of the team. Let me underscore that part. 2:05:15.320 --> 2:05:17.250 To find out what the changes are. The changes are 2:05:17.290 --> 2:05:19.590 rapidly approaching. I believe they are going to be released 2:05:19.710 --> 2:05:21.790 on the 15th of this month, at which point they're 2:05:21.810 --> 2:05:23.590 going to be able to properly inform you. So schedule 2:05:23.610 --> 2:05:25.590 an appointment to meet with them. Do not automatic renew 2:05:25.610 --> 2:05:29.340 because you could find yourself in a terrible place. down 2:05:29.360 --> 2:05:31.400 the road. And they can explain all the reasons why. 2:05:31.560 --> 2:05:33.200 And again, it doesn't cost you anything. So take them 2:05:33.260 --> 2:05:35.720 up on that free service. Now for everybody else with 2:05:35.800 --> 2:05:38.920 medical insurance, schedule an appointment with anybody over at cover 2:05:38.940 --> 2:05:40.860 since you can have them see what you've got, because 2:05:40.900 --> 2:05:43.340 there is a way to get you better medical insurance 2:05:43.380 --> 2:05:45.480 for less money. Matter of fact, there are a lot 2:05:45.500 --> 2:05:47.360 of different ways to achieve that. I talk with him 2:05:47.500 --> 2:05:50.440 every Sunday on the morning show or on the Sunday program, 2:05:50.860 --> 2:05:53.480 rethink healthcare together about this. And I've learned so much 2:05:53.540 --> 2:05:56.730 about the medical insurance industry and John and the team 2:05:56.940 --> 2:06:01.450 do it completely. different, saving you money at no cost 2:06:01.470 --> 2:06:03.730 to you, and then being there for you afterwards. Because 2:06:03.810 --> 2:06:08.260 once you're insured through CoverSense, any claims, disputes, any problems, 2:06:08.270 --> 2:06:10.880 you get an EOB, you don't understand, that claim wasn't paid, 2:06:10.940 --> 2:06:12.190 what in the hell? You don't have to spend any 2:06:12.220 --> 2:06:13.780 time on the phone with the insurance company. They got 2:06:13.820 --> 2:06:15.500 a team to hammer out all the problems or figure 2:06:15.520 --> 2:06:18.160 out all the problems for you. Again, at no cost. 2:06:18.840 --> 2:06:21.860 Would you like to save a lot of money? Would 2:06:21.880 --> 2:06:24.000 you like to be, maybe if you're a couple under 65, 2:06:24.000 --> 2:06:26.580 saving 50% off but having better medical coverage? If that 2:06:26.620 --> 2:06:29.130 sounds like a great concept, Why not spend some time, 2:06:29.290 --> 2:06:32.130 a little bit of time? There's two ways you can 2:06:32.190 --> 2:06:35.450 reach them to start the process. A phone call, 513-800-CALL, 513-800-2255, 2:06:35.450 --> 2:06:37.280 or the website where there's a form.

Northbound 71, 2:07:09.670 --> 2:07:12.930 the wrecks clear near Red Bank. Traffic's starting to move 2:07:12.990 --> 2:07:17.080 at a better pace from Smith Edwards. Chuck Ingram, 55KRC, 2:07:17.360 --> 2:07:20.520 the talk station. 2:07:20.520 --> 2:07:22.200 831, it's Tuesday. It's that time of the week. We 2:07:22.220 --> 2:07:25.440 do the alliterative Daniel Davis deep dive. Retired Colonel Daniel 2:07:25.480 --> 2:07:29.470 Davis with his analysis of all things warfare. And, of course, 2:07:29.870 --> 2:07:31.830 looks like we've got a proxy war going on. The 2:07:31.870 --> 2:07:35.370 Houthis attacking the Saudis. The Saudis responding with a massive, 2:07:35.450 --> 2:07:39.040 I guess, Welcome back, Daniel Davis. It's always a distinct 2:07:39.080 --> 2:07:40.900 pleasure to have you on the 55KRC Morning Show. 2:07:42.240 --> 2:07:44.540 As always, a pleasure to be here. 2:07:44.820 --> 2:07:48.810 I appreciate that, sir, and I certainly appreciate your analysis. Now, 2:07:49.050 --> 2:07:54.890 my friend, are the Houthis attacking the Saudis? Because apparently 2:07:54.910 --> 2:07:57.110 there was a four-year lull. They were playing nicely together, 2:07:57.130 --> 2:07:59.050 at least on some level, and then the Houthis started 2:07:59.090 --> 2:08:03.160 bombing the Saudi, uh, uh, refineries. I understand. They also 2:08:03.260 --> 2:08:06.820 started targeting the King Khalid airport, shutting down air travel 2:08:06.840 --> 2:08:09.020 the other day, air travel the other day. Are they 2:08:09.180 --> 2:08:12.460 operating under the instructions of the Iranians or is this 2:08:12.840 --> 2:08:14.580 a go it alone kind of thing? Because listen, I, 2:08:14.940 --> 2:08:18.160 I keep hearing that the Iranians don't have any money anymore. 2:08:18.260 --> 2:08:21.060 And how could a, uh, uh, a proxy war be 2:08:21.080 --> 2:08:23.450 waged if the Iranians don't have any money or ability 2:08:23.470 --> 2:08:25.430 to fund them? And I'm sure that's not the case, 2:08:25.470 --> 2:08:27.310 but that's why we have you, Daniel Davis. 2:08:28.580 --> 2:08:32.380 Yeah, Iranians do still have money. There's no doubt about that. 2:08:32.400 --> 2:08:34.900 They have the reserves because they have looked forward to 2:08:34.940 --> 2:08:37.900 seeing stuff. But there's a more fundamental issue at stake here. 2:08:37.940 --> 2:08:41.270 There's a belief in the West that everybody, Hamas, Hezbollah, 2:08:42.230 --> 2:08:45.610 and the Houthis are all proxies and extensions of Iran. 2:08:45.630 --> 2:08:48.430 That's never been the case. They have common cause. They 2:08:48.470 --> 2:08:52.370 consider themselves allies. But the Houthis in particular are their opponents. 2:08:54.940 --> 2:08:57.800 And they have their own independent issue with Saudi Arabia 2:08:57.820 --> 2:09:01.560 that goes back actually long before 2015. But from 2015 2:09:01.560 --> 2:09:04.460 for about eight years, they had a pretty sizable war 2:09:04.620 --> 2:09:13.330 with Saudi Arabia through the Saudi-backed Yemen forces. who have 2:09:13.370 --> 2:09:15.920 control over about 20% of the population. They kind of 2:09:15.940 --> 2:09:19.080 have a civil war, and it kind of moved into 2:09:19.120 --> 2:09:23.440 a stalemate in 2022, 2023. They had sort of an 2:09:23.460 --> 2:09:25.950 armistice where they kind of had an agreement, but they 2:09:25.970 --> 2:09:30.730 didn't solve it. And that held until Saudi Arabia decided 2:09:30.790 --> 2:09:36.250 to attack Yemen, the Houthi forces on Sarawak. On the 2:09:36.330 --> 2:09:40.430 day when they tried to land a plane in Sana'a 2:09:40.490 --> 2:09:45.270 to attend the assassinated senior leader for Iran. Now, what 2:09:45.550 --> 2:09:49.730 the Saudis said, well, that broke a blockade we have 2:09:49.810 --> 2:09:53.450 on you. They had a ceasefire in 2023, but Saudi 2:09:53.470 --> 2:09:56.300 Arabia still had a blockade on them. Well, they broke that. 2:09:56.930 --> 2:09:59.510 By sending somebody to this funeral, and Saudi Arabia decided 2:09:59.550 --> 2:10:04.940 to bomb the airport. And Ansar Allah said, okay, that's it. 2:10:05.030 --> 2:10:08.100 You broke the truce. Now it's game on. And they 2:10:08.150 --> 2:10:11.340 reacted in a much stronger way than Saudi Arabia expected. 2:10:12.200 --> 2:10:14.100 And so then that sparked the whole thing on. Now 2:10:14.140 --> 2:10:17.380 they go back and forth. But Ansar Allah surprised everybody 2:10:17.400 --> 2:10:20.680 by moving on the ground. not just attacking with their 2:10:20.690 --> 2:10:23.200 missile forces, which they had been doing. And so now 2:10:23.720 --> 2:10:26.400 Saudi Arabia is really panicking, they're like, all right, we 2:10:26.420 --> 2:10:28.780 better get this in the butt now. So now they're 2:10:28.800 --> 2:10:31.240 trying to start a counterattack. But I'm telling you, I 2:10:31.300 --> 2:10:34.160 think that's a big mistake because they don't have the 2:10:34.440 --> 2:10:38.040 forces to sustain. They've already tried this over multiple years 2:10:38.100 --> 2:10:39.460 with lots of air power. 2:10:40.000 --> 2:10:41.120 And it didn't succeed. 2:10:41.400 --> 2:10:46.140 The Biden administration didn't succeed. Trump didn't succeed in 2025, 2:10:46.140 --> 2:10:48.760 and Saudi Arabia isn't likely to succeed with air power now. 2:10:49.260 --> 2:10:52.260 So when I read an article that says Iran and 2:10:52.280 --> 2:10:56.820 Saudi Arabia are edging dangerously closer to direct conflict, do 2:10:56.860 --> 2:10:59.870 you think that is an accurate assessment suggesting this is 2:10:59.910 --> 2:11:02.010 a proxy war and the Iranians are directing this? You've 2:11:02.030 --> 2:11:03.490 already dismissed that suggestion. 2:11:04.270 --> 2:11:07.570 Yeah, no, I don't think that at all. In fact, 2:11:07.630 --> 2:11:11.140 Iran is focused on what President Trump is going to do, 2:11:11.200 --> 2:11:13.120 not on what Saudi Arabia is going to do. But 2:11:13.180 --> 2:11:15.340 they're happy to not mess with Saudi Arabia at all 2:11:15.380 --> 2:11:19.060 because Ansar Allah has been decisively engaged right now. So 2:11:19.090 --> 2:11:22.070 they're no threat whatsoever to Iran whatsoever. The only reason 2:11:22.090 --> 2:11:25.430 Iran is gonna get involved is gonna be if Trump 2:11:25.650 --> 2:11:31.690 restarts this war here somewhere around the midterm elections. And 2:11:31.770 --> 2:11:34.440 then Saudi Arabia allows their airspace to be used or 2:11:34.480 --> 2:11:37.880 their bases to be used, and then Iran would strike back. 2:11:37.900 --> 2:11:40.760 So they're pretty descriptive of what they would do. And 2:11:40.820 --> 2:11:43.700 if Saudi Arabia doesn't do those things, then Iran says, 2:11:43.740 --> 2:11:44.620 we're not gonna hit you. 2:11:46.070 --> 2:11:47.750 I think a lot of people have been of the 2:11:47.870 --> 2:11:49.970 open mind that maybe someday the rest of the Middle 2:11:49.990 --> 2:11:52.530 Eastern countries would join forces together and at least play 2:11:52.550 --> 2:11:55.190 nicely with the United States to defeat the Iranians. So 2:11:55.230 --> 2:11:58.410 you're saying this is not a step that will lead 2:11:58.470 --> 2:12:01.110 the Saudis to reach that conclusion. But also I hear 2:12:01.190 --> 2:12:03.110 in your words about the ability of the Saudis, they 2:12:03.190 --> 2:12:05.400 wouldn't bring much to the table by way of military 2:12:05.460 --> 2:12:08.500 might if they were to join us and start fighting 2:12:08.520 --> 2:12:09.140 with the Iranians. 2:12:09.900 --> 2:12:15.010 That is exactly the issue because they have basically just 2:12:15.570 --> 2:12:21.490 basically what we're looking for signed over. contracted out their 2:12:21.510 --> 2:12:23.960 security to the United States. They said, you guys got it, 2:12:24.330 --> 2:12:26.510 so we don't have to worry much about that. They 2:12:26.550 --> 2:12:28.910 had an air force, they have an air force, but 2:12:28.930 --> 2:12:30.910 they don't have much of a ground force at all, 2:12:31.270 --> 2:12:33.170 nor does anybody else in the Middle East. That's why 2:12:33.390 --> 2:12:35.410 you haven't seen them do much the whole war, not 2:12:35.450 --> 2:12:37.610 because they don't have incentives. So I mean, when they 2:12:37.650 --> 2:12:40.380 get bombed, everybody has an incentive to strike back, but 2:12:40.400 --> 2:12:43.190 they don't have the capacity. And so they realize they 2:12:43.230 --> 2:12:46.620 don't want to get into a direction fight with Iran, 2:12:46.640 --> 2:12:48.860 at least not very much, because they know that they 2:12:49.040 --> 2:12:52.100 would be vulnerable to all kinds of counterstructs that they 2:12:52.140 --> 2:12:54.860 can't defend against. So nobody wants to get into this war. 2:12:55.280 --> 2:12:59.470 Everybody wants it to be over. But nobody's willing to 2:12:59.510 --> 2:13:02.270 take the first step. So it's a real problem for everybody. 2:13:02.350 --> 2:13:03.790 So what I'm hearing in that in the morning where 2:13:03.810 --> 2:13:06.170 we've been drawing a lot of parallels with different things 2:13:06.190 --> 2:13:07.530 going on in the world here in the morning show, 2:13:08.240 --> 2:13:10.770 The situation in the Middle East, much like NATO, where 2:13:10.780 --> 2:13:12.790 they relied on the United States to provide all their 2:13:12.810 --> 2:13:15.330 military might and hardware and defense against the Soviet Union 2:13:15.370 --> 2:13:19.670 or any iteration thereafter and not funding their own military 2:13:19.690 --> 2:13:21.650 or building their own military strength. That's the same kind 2:13:21.690 --> 2:13:22.270 of thing, isn't it? 2:13:23.350 --> 2:13:26.050 You know, I would actually argue that in the Cold 2:13:26.110 --> 2:13:29.450 War with NATO, the European countries did provide quite a 2:13:29.470 --> 2:13:34.830 bit of security until 1992. And then they said, OK, cool. 2:13:34.910 --> 2:13:37.030 You guys can keep doing this, America. And then it 2:13:37.070 --> 2:13:37.490 went bad. 2:13:37.510 --> 2:13:37.650 Yeah. 2:13:38.750 --> 2:13:42.060 All right, that solves that. Now, insofar as whether or 2:13:42.100 --> 2:13:46.100 not we start kinetic activity with the Iranians maybe after 2:13:46.120 --> 2:13:47.820 the election, which is what Trump has said, I think 2:13:47.840 --> 2:13:52.370 that's sort of like a comment to Iran. Hey, listen, 2:13:52.410 --> 2:13:54.070 I don't care about the election. I'll bomb the hell 2:13:54.090 --> 2:13:55.670 out of you after the election even if I lose. 2:13:55.730 --> 2:13:58.920 But 9,000 troops and a new carrier group. Is that 2:13:58.960 --> 2:14:01.330 to sort of suggest he's going to make good on 2:14:01.370 --> 2:14:03.350 it with the idea that he's really not? I mean, 2:14:03.370 --> 2:14:05.310 I don't know what to make of the new carrier 2:14:05.330 --> 2:14:07.060 group going there. Are they going to relieve somebody, or 2:14:07.120 --> 2:14:09.160 is this just a bolstering of forces in advance of 2:14:09.200 --> 2:14:09.940 military action? 2:14:11.210 --> 2:14:14.669 They're not saying, they're not answering that very, very important question. 2:14:15.310 --> 2:14:19.770 But just the history of President Trump, he almost never, 2:14:19.800 --> 2:14:21.680 and in fact, I'm not sure that he ever does 2:14:22.040 --> 2:14:25.120 deploy combat power and then not use it. So historically, 2:14:25.140 --> 2:14:27.840 being what it is, at least in this term, that 2:14:28.020 --> 2:14:32.070 usually indicates something's coming. But my grave concern is that 2:14:32.250 --> 2:14:34.610 we would be trying to hit the same targets with 2:14:34.650 --> 2:14:37.730 the same ammunition that didn't work the first time. And 2:14:37.790 --> 2:14:40.170 it's very, I mean, it's impossible that it's going to 2:14:40.210 --> 2:14:43.240 work the second time either. And it will spawn an 2:14:43.300 --> 2:14:46.780 even more powerful counter-strike because Iran has been preparing for 2:14:46.820 --> 2:14:49.520 it in this intermediate time. Just like we've been restocking, 2:14:49.560 --> 2:14:52.230 they've been restocking. And we've already shown that we don't 2:14:52.250 --> 2:14:55.390 have the air defense capacity to stop the Iranian missiles. 2:14:55.510 --> 2:14:58.410 No matter what is actually being knocked down, it's not enough, 2:14:58.550 --> 2:15:00.810 and they have more than enough to defeat it. So 2:15:01.290 --> 2:15:03.300 it could get real ugly for us. And I'm just 2:15:03.320 --> 2:15:07.100 telling you, we cannot knock out Granite Mountains. We can't 2:15:07.120 --> 2:15:10.280 take the missile cities out from underneath, and we've tried everything. everything, 2:15:10.300 --> 2:15:13.680 even nuclear weapons wouldn't work if anybody's thinking that. So 2:15:14.580 --> 2:15:16.560 I have real worries that we may try to do 2:15:16.590 --> 2:15:18.990 it anyway, hit them one last time or something, but 2:15:19.030 --> 2:15:22.410 that could spark a counter-strike by Iran against the GCC 2:15:22.570 --> 2:15:25.070 oil industry in a way they haven't hit it so far, 2:15:25.650 --> 2:15:28.450 but have promised they will if it goes to another round. 2:15:28.490 --> 2:15:30.950 So I think it would be a bad idea, and 2:15:30.970 --> 2:15:32.130 I really hope it's a bluff. 2:15:32.230 --> 2:15:34.980 Well, it certainly seems it would exacerbate the already critical 2:15:34.990 --> 2:15:37.780 problem we've got with global fuel supplies right now. So 2:15:37.820 --> 2:15:41.220 I hear where you're coming from. And will you just briefly, sir, 2:15:41.340 --> 2:15:43.879 address the concept of boots on the ground? There are 2:15:43.920 --> 2:15:46.750 several listeners who wholly disagree with your assessment of it, 2:15:47.200 --> 2:15:48.680 and I've been talking to you for so long. I 2:15:48.800 --> 2:15:51.380 fully appreciate where you're coming from, Daniel Davis, but can 2:15:51.400 --> 2:15:55.140 you remind folks of the logistical realities of putting boots 2:15:55.260 --> 2:15:56.700 on the ground in Iran? 2:15:57.820 --> 2:16:02.010 Yeah, I mean, no disrespect for your listeners, but I'm 2:16:02.050 --> 2:16:02.890 just so puzzled. 2:16:04.290 --> 2:16:07.230 No, you're not disrespecting them, because this is the conversation 2:16:07.270 --> 2:16:09.850 I have to have with folks. I mentioned this guy... Well, 2:16:10.070 --> 2:16:12.940 I asked him specifically one guy always comments in a 2:16:12.980 --> 2:16:14.860 negative way. And I said, well, what would you do 2:16:14.920 --> 2:16:18.130 if you were general? I just go in and look. 2:16:18.760 --> 2:16:20.180 I don't even know what that means, sir, but this 2:16:20.220 --> 2:16:21.600 is the kind of reality that I've got to face 2:16:21.640 --> 2:16:22.480 as a morning show host. 2:16:22.660 --> 2:16:25.200 Yeah, so let me just kind of, as a real 2:16:25.220 --> 2:16:28.160 brief analogy, show you what happened when I deployed with 2:16:28.340 --> 2:16:31.510 a very large contingent in 1991, and we went in 2:16:31.560 --> 2:16:34.700 on the ground during Desert Storm, and we had about 2:16:34.910 --> 2:16:37.789 six or eight months of logistics buildup. 2:16:37.830 --> 2:16:38.710 We had an army that. 2:16:38.650 --> 2:16:39.950 Was 750,000 at the time instead of 400 and something 2:16:40.010 --> 2:16:44.510 we got right now. And we had all these allied 2:16:44.570 --> 2:16:47.010 countries that were willing to put in major combat power. 2:16:47.410 --> 2:16:50.640 And we had over 500,000 people to go in and 2:16:50.670 --> 2:16:54.280 take on Saddam Hussein on a flat ground with no 2:16:54.400 --> 2:16:59.529 air defense, no missiles, no air force. Now then we 2:16:59.570 --> 2:17:02.160 have to go into mountains in an area that is 2:17:02.320 --> 2:17:06.780 like four or five times bigger than Iraq. It is mountainous, 2:17:06.800 --> 2:17:08.720 so it's as big as Western Europe, but with these 2:17:08.820 --> 2:17:09.860 granite mountains that none of. 2:17:09.840 --> 2:17:10.740 Which existed before. 2:17:11.140 --> 2:17:14.100 And if you try to attack into a mountainous area, 2:17:14.340 --> 2:17:17.350 you have to go in down valleys and you're sitting ducks. 2:17:17.670 --> 2:17:20.590 to the enemy who can basically burrow into granite mountain. 2:17:20.610 --> 2:17:22.450 So it's nearly hard to pull them out and they 2:17:22.470 --> 2:17:24.170 can just pick you off one by one. As you 2:17:24.190 --> 2:17:27.619 go down these very limited paths, you just can't do it. 2:17:28.060 --> 2:17:29.440 Uh, and it would take us months. 2:17:29.480 --> 2:17:31.720 I mean, like a half year or more to assemble 2:17:31.740 --> 2:17:34.080 combat power from a smaller reserve than we. 2:17:34.000 --> 2:17:34.860 Had last time. 2:17:34.900 --> 2:17:38.700 So there's just no viable path of this 10,000 people is, 2:17:38.840 --> 2:17:41.300 is only enough to, to like, say, let's just go. 2:17:41.200 --> 2:17:42.699 Get a little dot on the map somewhere. 2:17:42.730 --> 2:17:46.390 Kashim island uh karg island and you can't sustain it. 2:17:46.370 --> 2:17:48.390 I mean you couldn't you what would you. 2:17:48.270 --> 2:17:50.370 Gain by having this tiny little spot in the country 2:17:50.390 --> 2:17:53.769 that's as big as western europe it's just practically impossible 2:17:53.800 --> 2:17:55.920 uh to do it's impossible. 2:17:55.920 --> 2:17:58.359 Gotta listen to the bad news and you know go 2:17:58.379 --> 2:18:01.400 ahead and draw your own conclusions but ultimately how could 2:18:01.440 --> 2:18:04.160 i find fault with what daniel davis is saying logistically 2:18:04.200 --> 2:18:06.539 speaking we're not talking about you know apples and apples 2:18:06.600 --> 2:18:09.680 relative to iraq and iran and obviously presents a completely 2:18:09.700 --> 2:18:12.300 different challenge from a terrain standpoint. Daniel Davis, I know 2:18:12.340 --> 2:18:13.940 it's not always good news, but you've got to hear 2:18:13.970 --> 2:18:16.810 it and factor it into the equation. We're making good decisions, right? 2:18:16.830 --> 2:18:18.310 That's why we have these conversations. 2:18:19.270 --> 2:18:19.790 Exactly. 2:18:20.050 --> 2:18:22.349 Find your podcast, Daniel Davis Deep Dive, is what you're 2:18:22.370 --> 2:18:24.709 looking for, and tune in every week here to the 2:18:24.730 --> 2:18:27.109 55KRC Morning Show at 830 and get another dose of 2:18:27.430 --> 2:18:29.780 truth from Daniel Davis. It's always a pleasure having you on, sir. 2:18:29.800 --> 2:18:30.459 I appreciate it. 2:18:31.540 --> 2:18:32.540 Always my pleasure, Brad. 2:18:32.580 --> 2:18:33.140 See you next week. 2:18:33.280 --> 2:18:35.880 Have a great week. 842, we're going to talk guns. 2:18:36.570 --> 2:18:38.590 Jeff Monroe from 22.3 Route 42 between Mesa and Lubbock. 2:18:38.610 --> 2:18:40.650 We've got some new developments in the law. If you're 2:18:40.670 --> 2:18:43.610 interested in getting a suppressor or short-barreled rifle, I think 2:18:43.629 --> 2:18:45.490 we've got some good news coming your way. We'll also 2:18:45.550 --> 2:18:47.970 find out what's hot and popular. Don't go away. We'll 2:18:48.010 --> 2:18:52.990 talk guns coming up next. First, I'll get to talk 2:18:53.030 --> 2:18:55.630 about USA Insulation. I really encourage you to make a 2:18:55.670 --> 2:18:57.730 phone call to USA to have them inspect the exterior 2:18:57.750 --> 2:19:00.000 walls of your home to find out if you're adequately insulated. 2:19:00.010 --> 2:19:02.619 You want to save money. The Duke Energy Bill is 2:19:02.680 --> 2:19:04.260 not going to go down. I keep pointing that out. 2:19:04.340 --> 2:19:06.430 You know it. You look at it every month. Can 2:19:06.450 --> 2:19:08.410 you imagine it being 50% of what it is? That 2:19:08.470 --> 2:19:12.340 is achievable with USA's premium foam. I'm sure out there 2:19:12.360 --> 2:19:14.519 somebody saved more than that, but lots and lots of 2:19:14.560 --> 2:19:17.240 folks are at least saving the $ 99 a month interest-free 2:19:17.320 --> 2:19:21.160 it costs to get USA's premium foam. $ 99 a month interest-free, 2:19:21.200 --> 2:19:22.730 and on top of that, Steve is now going to 2:19:22.760 --> 2:19:26.070 throw an additional $ 500 discount at you. So get the 2:19:26.110 --> 2:19:28.690 free quote, and if you don't need it, then they 2:19:28.730 --> 2:19:31.869 won't tell you you do. under-insulated like my daughter's home, 2:19:32.090 --> 2:19:34.930 un-insulated completely. That'll be a home built before the mid-70s. 2:19:35.170 --> 2:19:37.840 Put the foam in there, that USA foam, highest R-value 2:19:37.900 --> 2:19:40.240 on the market, and it's made in Ohio. And it 2:19:40.280 --> 2:19:42.779 isn't subject to tariff. Steve likes me to throw that 2:19:42.840 --> 2:19:45.890 in there. Regardless, it's a free inspection, so find out. 2:19:46.030 --> 2:19:47.830 And if you need it, get it. The only regret 2:19:47.850 --> 2:19:49.210 you're going to have is you didn't pull the trigger 2:19:49.250 --> 2:19:56.570 on that sooner. 381-3626-513-381-FOAM.

Second Amendment, let's talk about it. 2:20:32.990 --> 2:20:35.030 No better person on the planet to talk about the 2:20:35.070 --> 2:20:39.560 Second Amendment than Jeff Monroe. Owner of 22.3 Firearms on 2:20:39.580 --> 2:20:42.060 Route 42 between Mesa and Lebanon, along with his beautiful wife, Wendy. 2:20:42.080 --> 2:20:44.630 Got to give her props for being there every day. And, 2:20:44.650 --> 2:20:46.950 of course, the customer service at 22.3 couldn't be better, 2:20:46.990 --> 2:20:49.090 and I've been in there a lot. And lately, Jeff, 2:20:49.150 --> 2:20:50.590 welcome to the morning show. I've seen a lot of 2:20:50.629 --> 2:20:54.250 people walking out with suppressors. They're all the rage these days, 2:20:54.310 --> 2:20:57.470 and most notably because there's no longer a $ 200 payment 2:20:58.129 --> 2:21:01.609 that goes along with that. But there's still a registry, Jeff. 2:21:02.220 --> 2:21:03.939 It's a pleasure to have you on the program. Is 2:21:03.980 --> 2:21:06.080 that the case, or have we got a new legal 2:21:06.120 --> 2:21:10.379 development since the DOJ is not appealing the decision that 2:21:10.459 --> 2:21:14.020 threw out the whole idea of registering because the tax 2:21:14.080 --> 2:21:18.260 was thrown out? The only reason for registration was to 2:21:18.300 --> 2:21:22.100 facilitate the tax collection. No tax collection, no registration necessary, 2:21:22.120 --> 2:21:23.859 but that's not all the case. That's why we have 2:21:23.890 --> 2:21:25.750 you here, Jeff, to break it down for my audience 2:21:25.810 --> 2:21:26.000 and me. 2:21:27.640 --> 2:21:29.580 Yeah, well, thanks so much for having me, and thanks 2:21:29.600 --> 2:21:33.140 for the shout-out to Wendy. You're exactly right. The $ 200, 2:21:33.080 --> 2:21:36.980 you know, when Congress zeroed that out in January, we 2:21:37.020 --> 2:21:41.300 saw that the suppressor market went way up, and we 2:21:41.379 --> 2:21:44.920 know that the interest was there. And then in August, 2:21:45.280 --> 2:21:49.110 there was a judge in Texas that said exactly what 2:21:49.150 --> 2:21:51.270 you just said, and that is if there's no tax, 2:21:51.570 --> 2:21:54.970 then you can't actually force the registration under the tax code. 2:21:55.010 --> 2:21:58.080 So So now what we're waiting on is for the 2:21:58.680 --> 2:22:01.210 director of the ATF to come out with guidance on 2:22:01.490 --> 2:22:04.810 telling us how that's going to impact us. And realistically, 2:22:04.870 --> 2:22:07.650 he said over the weekend that he was going to 2:22:07.690 --> 2:22:10.190 do that later this week. So we're hoping it didn't 2:22:10.209 --> 2:22:12.529 happen yesterday. It hadn't happened this morning yet. But we're 2:22:12.550 --> 2:22:14.390 hoping later this week that we're going to get some guidance. 2:22:14.810 --> 2:22:19.330 Right now, we're in Ohio anyway. We're still processing suppressors 2:22:19.390 --> 2:22:21.470 the same way that we have since January, and that. 2:22:21.430 --> 2:22:22.810 Is no tax fees. 2:22:23.390 --> 2:22:25.580 However, you know, we'd still need to go through the 2:22:25.660 --> 2:22:27.520 NFA registry, which is a form for us. 2:22:27.540 --> 2:22:28.120 Pretty simple. 2:22:28.180 --> 2:22:29.860 We help you through that guide, you know, guide you 2:22:29.879 --> 2:22:32.430 through it. You do your fingerprints and we submit them 2:22:32.450 --> 2:22:35.250 for you. But the fact is, is that right now, 2:22:35.830 --> 2:22:37.240 that's where we stand in Ohio. 2:22:37.629 --> 2:22:39.970 Well, one of the reasons people are buying suppressors, I 2:22:39.990 --> 2:22:43.369 think crazy anti-gun folks think that it's all about assassinating 2:22:43.410 --> 2:22:46.450 people and shooting silently. But anybody who's ever used a 2:22:46.470 --> 2:22:49.220 suppressor and knows anything about them, they don't render the 2:22:49.379 --> 2:22:53.820 gun quiet or completely silent. They just suppress the volume 2:22:54.920 --> 2:22:57.000 so it doesn't hurt your ears. I mean, I bought 2:22:57.100 --> 2:22:58.780 one just the other day for that purpose alone. It's 2:22:58.800 --> 2:23:01.200 like you can shoot without hearing protection. It's wonderful. It's 2:23:01.220 --> 2:23:03.240 a nice break in the routine from having to have 2:23:03.310 --> 2:23:03.980 ears on. 2:23:05.350 --> 2:23:08.470 That's exactly right. People are buying them just for that reason. 2:23:08.530 --> 2:23:10.580 It's the same reason that, you know, when I'm looking 2:23:10.680 --> 2:23:13.959 at a new dishwasher, I want the lowest decibel rating 2:23:13.980 --> 2:23:14.660 that I can get. 2:23:14.680 --> 2:23:14.930 Yes, yes. 2:23:15.080 --> 2:23:17.910 I want that thing to be quiet. And same thing goes, 2:23:17.940 --> 2:23:19.310 you know, if you want to suppress like a. 22 2:23:19.310 --> 2:23:23.589 caliber dishwasher, It's going to be remarkably quiet and very comfortable. 2:23:23.610 --> 2:23:26.030 You know, hearing actually is one of those things that 2:23:26.070 --> 2:23:29.430 we know gets worse over time. And if you subject 2:23:29.450 --> 2:23:32.860 yourself to shooting, for example, over a lifetime, that's going 2:23:32.900 --> 2:23:35.120 to get worse over your lifetime. Well, if we can 2:23:35.160 --> 2:23:37.720 just put the earmuffs on the end of the gun, 2:23:38.220 --> 2:23:40.560 how awesome is that? Now we can actually, just like 2:23:40.660 --> 2:23:42.860 everything else in our life, We want it to be 2:23:42.879 --> 2:23:45.800 a little quieter. We want our mufflers to be quiet. 2:23:45.840 --> 2:23:48.560 We want our cars to be quiet. We want that 2:23:48.600 --> 2:23:51.060 in our lives. And in fact, the government regulates it 2:23:51.100 --> 2:23:52.980 and says, oh, you have to be quiet in so 2:23:53.020 --> 2:23:55.990 many ways. But in this particular way, the government itself 2:23:56.070 --> 2:23:59.010 is saying, oh, no, we can't let you be quiet 2:23:59.050 --> 2:23:59.490 on a gun. 2:23:59.570 --> 2:24:01.310 Well, that's just silly. We need to change that. 2:24:01.570 --> 2:24:04.330 Well, while we're waiting for official guidance from the administration, 2:24:04.390 --> 2:24:07.090 what is the scope of the court ruling? I mean, 2:24:07.129 --> 2:24:09.750 how broadly does it apply? Because If you're in the 2:24:09.810 --> 2:24:11.910 plaintiff class in that particular case, you don't have to 2:24:11.950 --> 2:24:13.570 fill out the paperwork either, do you? 2:24:14.750 --> 2:24:15.930 Well, you do in Ohio. 2:24:16.160 --> 2:24:19.740 I know. We're not part of the circuit where that 2:24:19.780 --> 2:24:24.220 decision applies, and nor are we, at least I am not, 2:24:24.280 --> 2:24:26.380 part of the plaintiff class who pursued the litigation in 2:24:26.420 --> 2:24:29.380 the first place, like the Gun Owners Association or whatever organization. 2:24:29.440 --> 2:24:32.380 They get the freedom from the FFL, but we out 2:24:32.420 --> 2:24:34.680 here in the unwashed masses of different circuits don't get 2:24:34.720 --> 2:24:35.440 that benefit yet. 2:24:36.740 --> 2:24:37.780 That's right. That's right. 2:24:37.820 --> 2:24:41.340 So right this minute, there are several different classes of 2:24:41.400 --> 2:24:45.420 people under this federal guidance. And we know if you 2:24:45.500 --> 2:24:49.090 happen to fit into a particular group of people in 2:24:49.110 --> 2:24:52.030 a particular state, You may be able to get a 2:24:52.070 --> 2:24:55.330 suppressor using the same form that you would get for 2:24:55.379 --> 2:24:57.640 any other firearm, and that's called the 4473 form. 2:24:57.959 --> 2:25:00.540 You fill it out just like anybody else would. 2:25:00.360 --> 2:25:01.980 For a gun, and then you could actually get it 2:25:02.060 --> 2:25:04.760 on the same day you could exit. That does not 2:25:04.820 --> 2:25:08.760 happen in Ohio. That is not happening in most places. However, 2:25:08.780 --> 2:25:11.620 it does happen in some places. What we really need 2:25:11.980 --> 2:25:15.660 is for this to be settled. We need one policy 2:25:15.680 --> 2:25:19.150 for American citizens to be able to do this. And 2:25:19.190 --> 2:25:23.580 if it's currently in, I guess, If they're saying, oh, well, 2:25:23.620 --> 2:25:25.920 you can't have this code the way that it's currently 2:25:25.990 --> 2:25:28.590 written or underneath the tax code, then we need to 2:25:28.629 --> 2:25:30.550 do away with that for everybody, not just. 2:25:30.410 --> 2:25:30.940 A few of us. 2:25:31.250 --> 2:25:33.510 No question about it. I always thought the short barrel 2:25:33.570 --> 2:25:37.150 rifle was a ban or obligation to fill a format 2:25:37.170 --> 2:25:39.150 was unconstitutional. It's on its face. What the hell is 2:25:39.190 --> 2:25:41.789 the difference between a barrel that's 10 inches versus 18 2:25:41.790 --> 2:25:46.230 or whatever? This rule or this, you are now allowed 2:25:46.270 --> 2:25:48.950 to purchase short-barreled rifles without having to pay the tax 2:25:49.010 --> 2:25:51.789 as well, correct? And what else falls under the umbrella 2:25:51.810 --> 2:25:53.279 of the no longer needing a tax? 2:25:54.800 --> 2:25:57.360 You've got things like short-barreled shotguns and any other weapons. 2:25:57.879 --> 2:26:00.720 And so there are several, but really the driving. 2:26:00.440 --> 2:26:05.170 Force is suppressors. Everybody, everybody is coming out for suppressors. 2:26:05.610 --> 2:26:08.490 For build rifles, we've seen a huge influx in those, 2:26:08.530 --> 2:26:12.050 and people like them, and there is no difference between 2:26:12.610 --> 2:26:15.590 whether something is a 16-inch barrel or whether it's an 2:26:15.610 --> 2:26:18.390 11-and-a-half-inch barrel. Come on, it does the exact same thing. 2:26:19.190 --> 2:26:22.660 But one thing that we know is that if there's 2:26:22.760 --> 2:26:25.280 no difference, then why do you regulate it differently? 2:26:25.340 --> 2:26:26.300 And we need to get rid of that. 2:26:26.820 --> 2:26:28.780 The $ 200 is gone, but we need. 2:26:28.600 --> 2:26:30.940 That to come off of the NFA registry as well. 2:26:31.160 --> 2:26:31.560 No doubt. 2:26:31.600 --> 2:26:33.540 And why should anybody have to fill out a form 2:26:33.600 --> 2:26:37.230 in order to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed rights? I know 2:26:37.250 --> 2:26:39.810 you're with me on that one.
