End of your wait. 0:00:33.090 --> 0:00:44.640 Some are predicting that. 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.060 Don't vote Democrat. 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.059 There's Tom. Miss Heaven, Tom, call in at 530.

Please get out and vote, please. 0:01:09.890 --> 0:01:12.050 Really worried about this. And looking at the campaign pledges 0:01:12.090 --> 0:01:16.590 and promises from both sides of the political ledger, this 0:01:16.610 --> 0:01:20.240 whole affordability thing is just driving me out of my mind. 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.140 The people I know, everybody's all upset about affordability. Who 0:01:23.220 --> 0:01:26.160 can deny it? But, you know, politicians standing up there saying, 0:01:26.220 --> 0:01:30.780 I'm going to solve the affordability problem. Can you tell 0:01:30.819 --> 0:01:33.560 me exactly how? Because Donald Trump said the same thing 0:01:33.580 --> 0:01:38.209 when he was campaigning for president. I don't think anything's changed. Anyway, 0:01:38.230 --> 0:01:41.559 coming up with the 55KRC. 0:01:41.569 --> 0:01:41.709 513-749-5500. 0:01:41.730 --> 0:01:46.490 800-823-TALK. Pound 550 on AT & T phones. 55KRC. iheart. com. The 0:01:47.069 --> 0:01:49.490 blog and podcast pages where you can listen to Eric 0:01:49.590 --> 0:01:52.270 Conroy's final plea for your vote yesterday here on the 0:01:52.290 --> 0:01:54.710 55KRC Morning Show. Monday, Monday with Brian James. Keith Faber 0:01:55.470 --> 0:01:57.210 also there on the podcast page. You can go back 0:01:57.250 --> 0:02:00.120 to Monday with the Smith event. And I'm sure, well, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.220 44 people were arrested over the weekend, although you didn't 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:04.920 know that when you woke up on Monday morning because 0:02:04.940 --> 0:02:06.920 there was no reporting on it. Finally, word got around 0:02:06.940 --> 0:02:09.500 to the local mainstream media that, oh, well, you know, 0:02:09.540 --> 0:02:13.030 there was a riot in downtown. Short Vine, yeah, and 0:02:13.130 --> 0:02:15.730 officers were in fact beaten up and 44 people were 0:02:15.770 --> 0:02:18.850 in fact arrested. Hey, how about that revelation? It's amazing 0:02:18.870 --> 0:02:21.130 what a day and a half at a time and 0:02:21.620 --> 0:02:24.480 Maybe bringing it to people's attention like Signal 99 did, 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.980 brought it to my attention. We've got video, police officers 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.660 being beaten up. Where are the references to that in 0:02:30.500 --> 0:02:36.010 the local media? Silence. Finally got it late yesterday afternoon. Dr. 0:02:36.030 --> 0:02:39.790 Jay Rissover, it is Tuesday, so we get the Empower 0:02:39.810 --> 0:02:42.329 You seminars for the week. There's one tonight, and I think, well, actually, 0:02:42.350 --> 0:02:44.650 there isn't one tonight, I believe. Thursday, and then we'll 0:02:44.669 --> 0:02:46.470 get the ones for next week. That'll be at 7.05, 0:02:46.470 --> 0:02:51.630 followed by Yes, Tom Zalastowski Returns. WeThePeopleConvention.org, Tom Zalastowski with 0:02:51.710 --> 0:02:54.530 a final message. Conservatives, you've got to get out and vote. 0:02:56.810 --> 0:02:58.929 You heard that message anymore? You know, since people in 0:02:58.950 --> 0:03:01.230 the audience are going, geez, Louise, I can't wait until 0:03:01.250 --> 0:03:04.250 the election's over. This is like political ad campaigning. Thomas 0:03:04.290 --> 0:03:07.310 keeps telling people to vote. Zalastowski keeps telling people to vote. 0:03:07.610 --> 0:03:10.230 Every politician that comes on this program telling people to vote. 0:03:10.310 --> 0:03:12.169 I guess the message is we need to get out 0:03:12.230 --> 0:03:19.570 and vote. What was that, Joe? Oh, yeah, well, if 0:03:19.590 --> 0:03:22.860 the turnout wasn't 20%, as history has documented, good point. 0:03:24.820 --> 0:03:27.320 It's supposed to be an off-cycle election. You know, Democrats 0:03:27.340 --> 0:03:29.320 are supposed to guarantee a blue wave because Donald Trump's 0:03:29.340 --> 0:03:31.940 the president, and this always happens. Does it? Does it 0:03:31.980 --> 0:03:35.070 have to? What are the Democrats offering you? I know 0:03:35.110 --> 0:03:37.550 what the El Sayeds of the world are offering you, 0:03:37.590 --> 0:03:41.130 and look at what the Democrats have done. I mean, 0:03:41.210 --> 0:03:48.090 Lord Almighty. You buck the Democrats in this left-wing craziness 0:03:48.110 --> 0:03:50.490 that's going on here, they'll just come and crucify you. 0:03:55.330 --> 0:03:59.690 Certainly going on with El-Sayed's campaign and Haley Stevens. Described 0:03:59.740 --> 0:04:02.800 as being in exile, the Democrats, they will not tolerate. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.000 You're not allowed to complain against a candidate like El-Sayed. 0:04:08.860 --> 0:04:20.700 If you do, you are politically ostracized. Anyway, I was 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.000 looking at the, and you can find these anywhere. What 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.480 can you vote on today? What is being voted on today? 0:04:26.500 --> 0:04:29.600 What's on the ballot? Of course, we've got 11 school 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.000 levies right here in the greater Cincinnati area. A lot 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.909 of them. Some are property tax levies. Some are operating levies, 0:04:36.010 --> 0:04:41.270 earned income tax levies. 11 different school districts. So in 0:04:41.330 --> 0:04:47.130 terms of earned income tax levy, Everybody who's working pays, Fairfield, Franklin, Lebanon, 0:04:47.190 --> 0:04:51.750 North College Hill, Northwest, and Southwest local schools. Property tax 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.220 levies coming at you from Cincinnati Public Schools. It's a 0:04:54.260 --> 0:05:00.880 big one. Sycamore Community Schools. Thanks, Dad. Wynwood City Schools. 0:05:02.140 --> 0:05:07.930 And then one unusual one, the Bethel-Tate local schools trying 0:05:07.970 --> 0:05:12.200 to extend their fixed sum operating levy. Lakota schools seeking 0:05:12.300 --> 0:05:15.560 a bond issue. So a variety of different levies. Does 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.940 your school district need the money? What's it going to 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.770 be spent on? What are they promising? Worthy considerations. Considering 0:05:22.830 --> 0:05:25.730 everybody's belt had to tighten up a notch or two, right? Because, 0:05:25.790 --> 0:05:28.510 oh my God, affordability. Can I afford another levy? And 0:05:28.550 --> 0:05:34.510 what is my school district doing with the money? Legitimate questions. 0:05:35.290 --> 0:05:39.260 But pivoting over and, you know, Swirling question marks about 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.120 John Husted not coming on the 55KRC Morning Show to 0:05:42.140 --> 0:05:45.740 spread the message about his campaign against Sherrod Brown. And, 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.460 you know, this is one of the ones I've practically 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.229 written off. Sherrod Brown, he's certainly got name recognition, but 0:05:51.250 --> 0:05:57.990 what the hell is he running on? Husted, domestic energy 0:05:58.130 --> 0:06:01.529 investment and production. You see, if you go that route, 0:06:01.589 --> 0:06:04.030 you can ultimately achieve some measure of affordability or at 0:06:04.089 --> 0:06:08.300 least control over the radically varying price of fossil fuels 0:06:08.380 --> 0:06:12.770 and other energy-producing items, right? Increasing it. Supply and demand. 0:06:12.810 --> 0:06:16.710 There's a good economic policy. Tax relief. Lower the cost 0:06:16.730 --> 0:06:20.770 of living by providing tax relief. Expanding child tax credit. Houston, 0:06:20.790 --> 0:06:24.530 these are his ideas. Of course, supporting and increasing funding 0:06:24.550 --> 0:06:29.890 for law enforcement. Technological innovation. Maintaining strong trade partnerships, but 0:06:29.930 --> 0:06:33.560 also blocking unfair importing practices. So that's a shot at tariffs. Fine, 0:06:33.580 --> 0:06:37.980 but what is Sherrod Brown offering? Hold health insurance companies 0:06:38.020 --> 0:06:41.750 accountable by fining them if they deny patients the care 0:06:41.790 --> 0:06:49.029 they need. Well, is or does, rather, your health insurance 0:06:49.089 --> 0:06:54.670 policy guarantee coverage? It's a contract. It's limited. Now, bad 0:06:54.750 --> 0:06:57.670 faith denial or just absolute refusal to denial as a 0:06:57.710 --> 0:07:00.320 default position. Talk to Eric Conroy about that. He's against it. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.159 I'm against it. I work for a health insurance company. 0:07:02.750 --> 0:07:05.000 But the contract is finite. If you're going to go 0:07:05.010 --> 0:07:08.580 out and get breast enlargement or butt enlargement surgery, it's 0:07:08.660 --> 0:07:12.780 not covered. It's cosmetic. So there are proper denials and 0:07:12.820 --> 0:07:15.550 just broad breath just saying, oh, we're going to hold 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.010 them accountable. We're going to fine them. I don't know 0:07:18.030 --> 0:07:20.730 that that's a recipe for lowering the cost of medicine. 0:07:20.750 --> 0:07:27.480 In any event, lowering prescription drug costs through legislation. Okay. Okay. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.980 requiring data centers to pay their own energy costs and 0:07:32.020 --> 0:07:36.000 cutting tax incentives. That is a position shared by Vivek Ramaswamy. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.610 I think Houston shares that. Pretty much everybody is embracing 0:07:39.620 --> 0:07:42.550 the concept of not saying no to data centers, but 0:07:42.790 --> 0:07:45.330 at least requiring them to cover the cost of their 0:07:45.350 --> 0:07:48.050 own business, which I have no problem with. And here 0:07:48.070 --> 0:07:52.290 we finally get to capping utility rate increases through legislation. 0:07:52.790 --> 0:07:57.050 Is this price fixing, Sherrod Brown? And wait a second. 0:07:57.710 --> 0:08:02.650 utility rate increases, what might have driven that? So I 0:08:02.670 --> 0:08:04.910 would argue, as so many others have, and I've been 0:08:04.950 --> 0:08:07.690 pointing this out for a long time, why are utility 0:08:07.810 --> 0:08:12.070 rates increasing? Perhaps because of these mandates, edicts of green 0:08:12.190 --> 0:08:19.970 energy policies and practices. Yeah, there's that. So your legislation, 0:08:20.030 --> 0:08:24.710 your desires by way of legislation, you're being wed, Mr. 0:08:24.750 --> 0:08:29.440 Sherrod Brown, to green energy policies. legislatively force the price 0:08:29.500 --> 0:08:31.860 of energy up, and it will continue to do so. 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.439 Your response? To respond with legislation to cap the rate increases, 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.650 which I don't know where that ends. The place is 0:08:39.670 --> 0:08:41.630 a utility company. I think it would be in an 0:08:42.170 --> 0:08:47.670 unenviable position from a business model perspective. But anyway, pivoting 0:08:47.750 --> 0:08:52.150 over to some observation by J.T. Young, climate change suffers 0:08:52.230 --> 0:08:56.470 rude collision with reality. Fast forward into the comments, Democrats' 0:08:56.530 --> 0:09:01.170 climate change agenda taking a step back more than it 0:09:01.220 --> 0:09:04.700 has in years as this year's increase in oil and 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:10.720 gas prices take hold. What happened to climate policy? Obviously, 0:09:10.980 --> 0:09:14.380 oil and gas increases have a broad economic impact. Every 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.960 time everybody fills their tank or pays their energy bill, 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.020 there is a reminder there how much more expensive it's gotten. 0:09:20.420 --> 0:09:22.930 Although short attention span theater, we forget that the price 0:09:22.950 --> 0:09:25.089 of gasoline and diesel fuel was a lot higher under 0:09:25.250 --> 0:09:31.640 Joe Biden, again, as a consequence of legislative actions. But 0:09:31.660 --> 0:09:33.699 the Democrats are running the opposite direction, are hoping you 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:40.460 forget this. It's natural, therefore, because it's all around all 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.530 of us, the Democrats would seize on these increases, these increases. 0:09:43.929 --> 0:09:48.620 dovetailed with and accentuated their quote-unquote affordability message, which all 0:09:48.630 --> 0:09:53.400 of them are echoing. Affordability, affordability, affordability. They also could 0:09:53.420 --> 0:09:55.300 be directly tied to the conflict in Iran. Of course 0:09:55.330 --> 0:09:56.849 they're going to make that point. As soon as the 0:09:56.890 --> 0:10:00.000 bombs started dropping, straight-up Hormuz shuts down, and global energy 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:00.819 prices are rocked. 0:10:00.940 --> 0:10:01.180 Yes. 0:10:02.980 --> 0:10:06.320 And it's distracted attention from the fact that inflation, and 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.420 with it affordability, was an issue throughout Biden's four years 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.340 in office. After all, that's why the Inflation Reduction Act 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.540 was affixed to the legislation that was all about green 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.920 energy projects, which, of course, Democrats regret because it's a 0:10:18.970 --> 0:10:22.630 constant reminder. They told you the Inflation Reduction Act would 0:10:22.670 --> 0:10:25.030 reduce inflation. It was their brain shot. It was their 0:10:25.110 --> 0:10:27.250 green energy policy. You got it, and what did you 0:10:27.270 --> 0:10:30.750 get in return for it? Inflation, with all the additional 0:10:30.790 --> 0:10:33.060 trillions of dollars that were thrown into the economy. Anyhow, 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.220 in short, increased oil and gas prices meant political opportunity, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.120 and Democrats have taken full advantage because you're not remembering. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.800 Overlooked in what seemed to be so straightforward is that 0:10:45.870 --> 0:10:51.420 today's increased oil and gas prices fulfill... Democrats' underlying climate 0:10:51.460 --> 0:10:55.480 change policy goals, higher prices, reduced demand, using less fossil fuels, 0:10:55.540 --> 0:10:58.660 exactly what Democrats' climate change agenda sought. Or at least 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:03.480 it did until this increase in prices. Oh, this is 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.230 evil orange man's increase. And even though it fulfills our 0:11:07.350 --> 0:11:10.309 ultimate goals of raising the price of gas and oil 0:11:10.850 --> 0:11:13.270 so you don't use it, We're still going to take 0:11:13.330 --> 0:11:16.069 credit and go after evil orange man and blame him 0:11:16.130 --> 0:11:18.530 for the increases until, of course, we get back in 0:11:18.590 --> 0:11:23.370 office and then we continue with the increases. The liberal 0:11:23.630 --> 0:11:27.630 tax policy center noted the time that the Inflation Reduction 0:11:27.730 --> 0:11:30.110 Act failed to live up to its climate change potential. 0:11:30.790 --> 0:11:34.290 Writing the generous tax credits, the TPC noted, by contrast, 0:11:35.410 --> 0:11:39.560 a carbon tax is designed to achieve only one goal, 0:11:40.179 --> 0:11:43.510 raise the price of carbon. There are many ways the 0:11:43.550 --> 0:11:45.750 tax can be returned to the households, but in any event, 0:11:45.790 --> 0:11:49.689 the tax still would discourage consumption of carbon-based products by 0:11:50.390 --> 0:11:51.729 raising their relative prices. 0:11:52.429 --> 0:11:52.689 Right. 0:11:53.010 --> 0:12:01.270 That's what they wanted. And they got it. The article 0:12:01.330 --> 0:12:03.310 reminds you Democrats have backed all manner of ways to 0:12:03.429 --> 0:12:06.530 restrict the use of fossil fuels to promote green alternatives. 0:12:06.550 --> 0:12:10.290 The California ZEV mandate, myriad policies in the Inflation Reduction Act, 0:12:10.620 --> 0:12:13.880 restricting U.S. production of oil and gas, opposing fracking, stifling 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:18.450 pipeline development, onerous CAFE requirements, EV incentives, and the list 0:12:18.500 --> 0:12:23.530 goes on and on. Right. This is all their ideas, 0:12:23.570 --> 0:12:32.809 the left ideas. Including thoughts, climate change increasingly suffering from 0:12:32.850 --> 0:12:37.609 its rude collision with reality. The European Union, where the 0:12:37.630 --> 0:12:41.280 climate change agenda is treated as gospel, and its resulting 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.589 stagnant economy have heard, but nothing has had such a 0:12:44.650 --> 0:12:47.050 chilling effect in America as the opportunity to make a 0:12:47.110 --> 0:12:51.530 political issue out of increased oil and gas prices. Given 0:12:51.550 --> 0:12:55.020 the choice between policy and politics, there is no choice 0:12:55.059 --> 0:12:59.179 at all. Ironically, even when an outcome advances the policy 0:12:59.500 --> 0:13:03.079 and the politics Democrats so recently claimed to champion. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:04.920 Right. 0:13:06.890 --> 0:13:10.870 Wake up. 518-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Don't go away. Be right back. 0:13:11.530 --> 0:13:18.429 Have you heard the news? A Learjet crashes. 0:13:18.470 --> 0:13:22.800 That's 522 Election Day. Get out and vote. And please, 0:13:24.220 --> 0:13:27.720 listen to lunch at Anderson Pub and Grill tomorrow. Really, really, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.059 really would love for you to be there and celebrate. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.260 Hopefully there will be something to celebrate tomorrow, dear God. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.059 I'm primarily worried about if there is little to celebrate tomorrow. 0:13:37.220 --> 0:13:39.020 I think the Republicans are going to lose all of them. But, 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.340 you know, if you believe the gloom and doom polling, 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.880 and I have done my best to stay the hell 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.980 away from polling. I mean, I know I've seen it. 0:13:46.020 --> 0:13:48.630 I've read it. I know what they currently say. I've 0:13:48.650 --> 0:13:50.670 seen how close the races are, at least according to 0:13:50.690 --> 0:13:53.410 the polling. But then again, it's always tempered by they've 0:13:53.450 --> 0:13:56.650 gotten it so wrong over the past several election cycles. 0:13:57.190 --> 0:13:59.730 And the dynamics of polling have changed so much that 0:13:59.750 --> 0:14:01.900 the pollsters really haven't caught up to the whole idea 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.670 that A lot of my conservative-leaning friends just don't participate 0:14:05.690 --> 0:14:07.970 in polls. Now, whether they actually go out and vote, 0:14:08.010 --> 0:14:09.270 this is where you've got to put your money where 0:14:09.290 --> 0:14:11.510 your mouth is. Sure, you don't take a poll. Sure, 0:14:11.530 --> 0:14:13.390 you're inclined to vote for a Republican, but are you 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.980 a likely voter? Well, let's make it this year the 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.660 year of not likely voters being voters. Period. End of story. 0:14:19.940 --> 0:14:20.280 Voters. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.980 But stayed away from it, so at least insofar as 0:14:24.020 --> 0:14:30.060 Listener Lunch goes, I'm prepared to, well, feel depressed, down. 0:14:33.250 --> 0:14:36.300 Admittedly so, if it happens. So I'd really love some 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:44.020 company tomorrow. Let us enjoy or at least struggle together 0:14:44.140 --> 0:14:46.780 in our losses. We are together, and I think that's 0:14:46.830 --> 0:14:49.650 ultimately the point, fellowship. And if somebody can straight it 0:14:49.710 --> 0:14:51.970 out before the Daniel Davis deep dive at 830, retired 0:14:51.990 --> 0:14:55.050 Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis giving us a military analysis on Iran. 0:14:56.410 --> 0:14:59.900 So I've got conflicting headlines and information going on. So 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.160 most recently, we did launch what we call a defensive 0:15:03.210 --> 0:15:07.690 strike on Iran's Qeshm Island. This was just yesterday. It 0:15:07.710 --> 0:15:09.810 was confirmed that the strike was carried out in response 0:15:09.850 --> 0:15:11.970 to Iran firing at a U.S. 0:15:12.110 --> 0:15:12.670 Aircraft. 0:15:14.030 --> 0:15:17.990 And the strike was called defensive. So we can't get 0:15:18.050 --> 0:15:21.510 blamed for a first strike. They started it. We're just 0:15:21.530 --> 0:15:24.470 going to respond. And I guess I understand that. Apparently, 0:15:24.490 --> 0:15:27.550 this Qeshm Island honed to underground missile sites, a naval base, 0:15:27.610 --> 0:15:32.130 and a major desalination plant. Don't know what was hit. 0:15:32.330 --> 0:15:34.630 There's no reporting, at least accurate, that I've seen this 0:15:34.690 --> 0:15:38.150 morning on what was hit. But then when we have this, 0:15:38.770 --> 0:15:41.990 the renewed Iran deal framework emerging, this after a meeting 0:15:42.050 --> 0:15:47.450 in Tehran with Qatari mediators, positive talks. Donald Trump in 0:15:47.470 --> 0:15:50.750 an ex-post yesterday, Truth Social Media rather, Oil prices are 0:15:50.790 --> 0:15:53.870 dropping like a rock, down almost $ 10 a barrel, a record, 0:15:53.910 --> 0:15:56.570 because people feel that there will not be a war 0:15:56.630 --> 0:15:59.010 with Iran. Iran wants a settlement as soon as possible. 0:15:59.050 --> 0:16:03.010 It could happen, President Donald Trump. He told reporters yesterday 0:16:03.030 --> 0:16:05.600 that Iran wants to make a deal and that it 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.660 could happen. I know you've heard that before. I certainly 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.420 have heard it before. So you've got the promise of 0:16:12.540 --> 0:16:14.460 no war, or at least the suggestion that there is 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.120 not going to be one, but then again, you have 0:16:16.140 --> 0:16:21.080 the strike on Kashim Island. But also... Donald Trump's threat 0:16:21.100 --> 0:16:23.460 that we can drop bombs in a moment's time or 0:16:23.540 --> 0:16:26.540 within an hour, specifically in reference to pickaxe mountain, which 0:16:26.620 --> 0:16:29.400 is believed to be where the nuclear material is. He said, 0:16:29.450 --> 0:16:31.590 we bombed out with midnight hammer. We bobbed out all 0:16:31.610 --> 0:16:34.170 the potential nuclear power. Now we might have to go 0:16:34.230 --> 0:16:38.360 after pickaxe. That's not a big deal. We can do it. 0:16:38.730 --> 0:16:42.410 And literally we can do it in one hour. Again, 0:16:42.430 --> 0:16:44.140 I'm going to have to go back to Daniel Davis 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.580 on that because he is of the mind. And I 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.780 kind of think I'm with him on being of the 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.210 mind that, We don't have a missile or a bomb 0:16:52.250 --> 0:16:55.630 that's capable of penetrating the hundreds of feet of rock 0:16:55.650 --> 0:16:59.490 that get down to whatever's down there. And the Moab, 0:16:59.530 --> 0:17:01.930 the mother of all bombs, can't do it, at least 0:17:01.950 --> 0:17:05.639 from everything I've heard. So can we really do it? 0:17:05.750 --> 0:17:07.909 Are we going to do it? You've got one side saying, look, 0:17:07.930 --> 0:17:10.170 we're going to drop bombs maybe effectively in an hour. 0:17:10.190 --> 0:17:11.850 The other one saying, well, it looks like there's going 0:17:11.869 --> 0:17:13.090 to be a deal. There's not going to be a 0:17:13.109 --> 0:17:16.929 war at all. I guess the truth and reality maybe 0:17:17.050 --> 0:17:18.909 lies in the middle somewhere. Feel free to give me 0:17:18.930 --> 0:17:21.139 a call if you can figure it out. I'll be 0:17:21.180 --> 0:17:31.780 right back with local stories. 55KRC. com Happy Election Day. Half 0:17:31.820 --> 0:17:35.290 hour from the polls opening in Kentucky and Indiana. Polls 0:17:35.330 --> 0:17:37.350 open in Ohio one hour from now. And I hope 0:17:37.410 --> 0:17:38.929 everybody's lined up around the corner. And I really hope 0:17:38.950 --> 0:17:40.270 you call me up to tell me how the polls 0:17:40.310 --> 0:17:43.790 are doing. whether they're crowded or not, and whether the 0:17:43.830 --> 0:17:45.760 lines are long or not, how you feel about it. 0:17:45.770 --> 0:17:48.070 So welcome phone calls on Election Day. And, of course, 0:17:48.109 --> 0:17:54.709 tomorrow it's election coverage morning. And we'll review the results 0:17:54.750 --> 0:17:59.210 together clearly. And Mike Wilson of Tea Party fame. Remember 0:17:59.230 --> 0:18:01.649 the Tea Party? He's not optimistic at all. He's got 0:18:01.670 --> 0:18:04.770 a post on Facebook. He's got gloom and doom prediction. 0:18:04.790 --> 0:18:09.580 He's got Jared Brown winning, Amy Acton winning. Democrats winning 0:18:09.580 --> 0:18:13.530 20 to 25 House seats. Senate believes it's too close 0:18:13.550 --> 0:18:17.090 to call and concludes with, I don't think I'll be 0:18:17.109 --> 0:18:22.130 happy with the outcome. That's a gloom and doom projection. 0:18:23.250 --> 0:18:30.750 How do you feel? 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Doesn't have to go 0:18:30.770 --> 0:18:33.780 down that way. Multiple people arrested over the holiday weekend 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.840 in connection with the incidents ranging from deadly shooting to 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.879 disorderly crowds. Oh, thank you, WCPO, for chiming in on 0:18:40.900 --> 0:18:43.820 the topic we were talking about yesterday. Cincinnati Police detailed 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.590 the responses to the violent crimes and large disorderly crowds 0:18:49.030 --> 0:18:53.290 taking place over a couple-hour span over the weekend. In total, 0:18:53.530 --> 0:18:58.449 Cincinnati Police say 44 arrests were made citywide between Saturday 0:18:58.490 --> 0:19:00.950 and Sunday. Hey, Joe, do we have a crime problem 0:19:00.970 --> 0:19:01.610 in the city area? 0:19:02.790 --> 0:19:03.050 No. 0:19:03.290 --> 0:19:05.889 I heard that from our mayor. I have to have 0:19:05.910 --> 0:19:09.690 pro ball. So we had a fight at a 2,800 0:19:09.690 --> 0:19:13.570 block of Short Vine, 10 minutes till midnight. Police say someone, quote, unquote, 0:19:13.650 --> 0:19:16.830 interfered with police efforts to break it up. So there 0:19:16.850 --> 0:19:18.970 was a taser deployment as well as an arrest. That 0:19:18.990 --> 0:19:24.480 suspect charged with obstructing official business. While responding to crowds 0:19:24.580 --> 0:19:28.939 near downtown, shortly after midnight, officers heard gunshots from inside 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.040 the nightclub on East 7th Street, where, since I police 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.609 say a person was found seriously hurt with a gunshot wound, 0:19:34.670 --> 0:19:37.630 person taken to UC Medical Center, they died at UC 0:19:37.670 --> 0:19:43.920 Medical Center. Homicide investigators are looking into that ongoing investigation. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.970 Officers responded with assault that took place near Vine Street. 0:19:47.070 --> 0:19:50.970 Police say chemical irritants were used to intervene. in the attack. 0:19:51.070 --> 0:19:54.770 Pepper spray, victim taken so their non-life-threatening injuries could be treated. 0:19:54.890 --> 0:19:57.730 Police say the suspects, in connection with that incident, fled 0:19:57.770 --> 0:20:02.150 the scene. Minutes later, fireworks display in the parking lot 0:20:02.190 --> 0:20:05.040 of West Corey Street, spotted by officers. They showed up there. 0:20:05.060 --> 0:20:07.980 A person refused lawful commands, began to reach inside a 0:20:08.020 --> 0:20:12.190 vehicle and Officers used a taser and then took that 0:20:12.230 --> 0:20:15.970 person into custody. Firearm found outside the vehicle, according to 0:20:15.990 --> 0:20:18.430 the Cincinnati Police. Suspect charged with resisting and carrying a 0:20:18.450 --> 0:20:25.010 concealed weapon. Officers arrived at another disorderly crowd. This one 0:20:25.030 --> 0:20:28.310 near Jefferson Avenue, 1.30 in the morning roughly. Officers assaulted 0:20:28.369 --> 0:20:31.740 while they were detaining another suspect. Taser deployed in that 0:20:31.820 --> 0:20:34.240 one as well, leading to a suspect being arrested. Officers 0:20:34.260 --> 0:20:36.350 sent to the hospital for treatment. The other treated at 0:20:36.369 --> 0:20:38.590 the scene. That's the one that Signal 99 posted the 0:20:38.630 --> 0:20:42.350 video of, if I recall correctly. Police said that officers 0:20:42.390 --> 0:20:45.830 responded to another large crowd only minutes later. More than 0:20:45.830 --> 0:20:49.710 2,000 people formed near West Corey Street, prompting officers to 0:20:49.730 --> 0:20:53.679 begin crowd dispersal efforts, which resulted in multiple arrests and 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:59.070 even more taser deployments. Same time, officers handled stabbing involving 0:20:59.109 --> 0:21:02.840 someone who suffered non-life-threatening injuries and a separate shooting investigation 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.780 involving a victim who arrived at the hospital with life-threatening injuries. 0:21:07.900 --> 0:21:08.300 Oh, look! 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:13.560 Mayor Aftab Perval made a statement yesterday. Are you ready? 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.119 First things first. We're extremely grateful to the officers for 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.680 the sacrifices they made to keep people safe during an 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.510 especially challenging weekend. You know what? Props to Perval for 0:21:24.570 --> 0:21:28.220 recognizing the officers and their hard work. You rarely see that, 0:21:28.300 --> 0:21:33.679 don't you? I'm praying for a speedy recovery. If you 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.369 assault an officer, you're going to be held to account 0:21:36.710 --> 0:21:39.369 to the fullest extent of the law. I'll believe it 0:21:39.410 --> 0:21:41.950 when I see it, Mayor. There is no excuse. It 0:21:42.190 --> 0:21:45.330 was very difficult. Halloween in Cincinnati and cities around the country. 0:21:46.550 --> 0:21:48.490 We're not the only ones. Cities around the country. Anyway, 0:21:48.790 --> 0:21:51.090 the violence and disorder some of our communities face was 0:21:51.210 --> 0:21:54.510 not acceptable, and we will be pursuing all necessary responses. 0:21:55.070 --> 0:21:59.870 Him and the mouse in his pocket. Let me ask 0:21:59.890 --> 0:22:02.590 you this. Considering we are going to be voting on 0:22:02.630 --> 0:22:05.190 judges here in Hamilton County, if Mayor Aftab Perval joins 0:22:05.230 --> 0:22:07.210 with the police, the police do their law enforcement work, 0:22:07.230 --> 0:22:10.090 they find the bad guys, they arrest them, and they 0:22:10.150 --> 0:22:12.870 process them. Hamilton County prosecutors decide that they are going 0:22:12.890 --> 0:22:16.140 to go all in to prosecute these people who were arrested, 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.119 and they end up in front of, I don't know, 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:22.639 Judge Silverstein. And that's when the wheels fall off of 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:27.760 strict law enforcement. Since I police issued a statement. The 0:22:27.780 --> 0:22:30.580 Sunset Police Department will not tolerate assaults on our officers. 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.290 Any individual who chooses to attack, interfere with, or obstruct 0:22:33.350 --> 0:22:36.750 officers performing their lawful duties will be held accountable. The 0:22:36.770 --> 0:22:41.010 department will legalize every available investigative enforcement and prosecutorial resource 0:22:41.030 --> 0:22:45.450 to ensure offenders are identified, arrested, and brought to justice. Yes, 0:22:45.540 --> 0:22:53.159 I'm sure they will. Like they have been. It's the 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:57.070 follow-up that's always been the problem here in Hamilton County. 5.35, 0:22:57.070 --> 0:23:00.590 55 KRC Talk Station. Corey, I promise to take your 0:23:00.619 --> 0:23:03.710 call as soon as we return after these brief words 0:23:03.790 --> 0:23:05.109 and then get to the stack of stupid. 0:23:05.530 --> 0:23:10.490 This is 55 KRC Talk Station. 0:23:10.609 --> 0:23:13.950 It is 5.39 on election day. Get out and vote. Yeah, 0:23:13.970 --> 0:23:15.209 you're going to get tired of it. I know you're 0:23:15.230 --> 0:23:17.190 already tired of it. I'm tired of political ad campaigns. 0:23:17.710 --> 0:23:17.929 I am. 0:23:18.210 --> 0:23:20.490 I mean, I hope to God my text messages end 0:23:20.570 --> 0:23:24.330 after today. Some people have been able to avoid it. 0:23:24.380 --> 0:23:29.080 I get like. 12 different political-related text messages every single day. 0:23:29.100 --> 0:23:31.760 You know, spam, spam, spam. Anyway, let's see what Corey's got. Corey, 0:23:31.780 --> 0:23:33.460 thanks for holding over the break. Welcome to the morning show. 0:23:33.500 --> 0:23:34.620 Happy Tuesday, Election Day. 0:23:35.980 --> 0:23:37.050 Happy Tuesday, Brian. 0:23:38.369 --> 0:23:41.430 I am not optimistic about what's going to happen today. 0:23:41.450 --> 0:23:45.310 I think the Republicans' messaging at the state level has 0:23:45.330 --> 0:23:49.490 been terrible. I know I said before, yeah, Sharon Brown billboards, 0:23:49.590 --> 0:23:55.150 I'm down I-75 around Finley to Toledo. East and West 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.440 from Chicago all the way to Indiana. 0:23:58.460 --> 0:23:58.980 Oh, yeah. 0:23:59.100 --> 0:24:03.480 Everything's talking about affordability, affordability, affordability on the Democrat side. 0:24:03.619 --> 0:24:04.420 I know. 0:24:05.140 --> 0:24:08.720 Not a single billboard about John Husted. The only thing 0:24:08.740 --> 0:24:11.840 you see about John Husted is the first energy scandal. 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.070 And I think it's going to, I think Brown's going 0:24:16.090 --> 0:24:16.390 to win. 0:24:16.930 --> 0:24:17.110 Yeah. 0:24:17.530 --> 0:24:21.570 And I think, unfortunately, I think because of that, and 0:24:21.790 --> 0:24:24.190 the acting is going to win too is, They're kind 0:24:24.230 --> 0:24:28.129 of just, uh, I think that people are just tired 0:24:28.150 --> 0:24:32.280 of it. Uh, locally, uh, like, uh, personally, my electric 0:24:32.300 --> 0:24:36.360 bills doubled and at the same time, property tax has 0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:40.879 increased and it's, it's taken this tool and the Republicans 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.879 messaging has, has been silent on it. And then at 0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.840 a national level, I was just left the gas station 0:24:46.859 --> 0:24:49.429 a few minutes ago and people were talking about all 0:24:49.470 --> 0:24:55.040 politicians are liars. And, uh, Because, one, Trump promised no 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.429 new wars, and here we are in Iran, which is 0:24:57.450 --> 0:25:00.470 leading to a lot of the issues. And then also, 0:25:00.490 --> 0:25:01.869 like you said, the affordability issue. 0:25:01.950 --> 0:25:03.970 Yeah, there's a whole lot. I mean, people can be 0:25:04.090 --> 0:25:06.969 angry about Trump. And, of course, the message, evil orange man, 0:25:07.010 --> 0:25:10.400 as I like to summarize this anger and vitriol toward 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.660 Donald Trump, which has gone on for 10 years, that's 0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:14.619 well established and set in. I mean, I even know 0:25:14.660 --> 0:25:17.980 conservatives who've got Trump derangement syndrome. But this isn't a 0:25:18.020 --> 0:25:22.129 Trump race. I mean, can someone deal with affordability? Can 0:25:22.190 --> 0:25:26.649 any politician change and make things more affordable right out 0:25:26.690 --> 0:25:27.129 of the gate? 0:25:28.109 --> 0:25:28.369 No. 0:25:28.830 --> 0:25:30.990 Trump promised it, and he's been getting away and doing 0:25:31.030 --> 0:25:33.070 a lot. He's accomplished a whole lot. The economy is 0:25:33.090 --> 0:25:35.310 still going really strong, but we can't deal with the 0:25:35.350 --> 0:25:40.080 affordability issue through legislation or anything else, it appears. It's 0:25:40.100 --> 0:25:44.389 just economics, which you can't overcome with a politician. And 0:25:44.430 --> 0:25:46.520 I understand the frustration. I mean, I don't like paying 0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.260 more for everything, but I'm trying to be practical on 0:25:49.300 --> 0:25:51.560 where the solutions are. And I don't see any Democrats 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.720 offering anything but I promise to make things more affordable, 0:25:54.740 --> 0:25:57.590 which is a hollow, empty promise. I want to hear 0:25:57.869 --> 0:26:01.310 by people believe it. I see. And therein lies the problem, Corey. 0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:02.960 A lot of people believe it. 0:26:02.980 --> 0:26:03.480 Exactly. 0:26:04.240 --> 0:26:08.200 Not everybody, not everybody's a political junkies like we are. 0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:10.540 And most people can't tell you what's going on day 0:26:10.580 --> 0:26:12.680 to day, but they can tell you all the lyrics 0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:17.159 to whatever latest pop song is. But, uh, it's, it's, 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:18.900 it's very, very sad, you know? 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:19.460 Yeah. 0:26:19.740 --> 0:26:22.240 Well, and I, and I tell, I tell people, uh, 0:26:22.270 --> 0:26:24.730 you know, my grandfather fought in the war and my 0:26:24.770 --> 0:26:28.110 brother fought over in the golf and, you know, and 0:26:28.830 --> 0:26:31.930 for what, for this country to, to go down the tube. 0:26:32.540 --> 0:26:35.480 And it's a very sad. 0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:39.890 And that reality that you're experiencing right now and your perception, 0:26:40.050 --> 0:26:43.510 I think, is really a product in large part of 0:26:43.570 --> 0:26:47.970 the campaign against all things American, American unity. We've been 0:26:48.020 --> 0:26:51.070 hearing this for constantly, social media. We've got all kinds of, 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.040 I would argue, evil forces out there trying to convince 0:26:54.060 --> 0:26:56.540 you that is exactly where we are. We are gone. 0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:58.859 It's too late to fix it. The part of the 0:26:58.900 --> 0:27:04.140 country is... divided irreconcilably so it's not worth it bring 0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.440 the flag out last person out we need to start 0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:09.050 over and do something else that's exactly what the left 0:27:09.109 --> 0:27:12.909 wants i keep going back to at least the flag 0:27:12.950 --> 0:27:15.610 used to stand for freedom and liberty under which all 0:27:15.810 --> 0:27:18.109 of us stand this is the one country where you 0:27:18.150 --> 0:27:22.270 can do that you know you look at france and 0:27:22.290 --> 0:27:26.200 that place is just a a bonfire the promises of 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:29.620 socialism collapse before their very eyes, and with all these 0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:35.800 outside external forces, this replacement population that the French government 0:27:35.900 --> 0:27:38.570 is going to argue you're not even allowed to make 0:27:38.710 --> 0:27:42.550 an argument over. No, we will have no illegal to 0:27:42.609 --> 0:27:50.910 discuss replacement population. Yeah, this great substitution that's going on. That, well, 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:56.980 evil orange man at least stopped in our country. Your 0:27:57.000 --> 0:27:58.880 thoughts and comments are welcome, and I hope, Corey, that 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:01.500 does not mean your feeling right now does not mean 0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:03.720 you will not go out and vote and at least 0:28:03.780 --> 0:28:05.840 try to stop it from happening because it's not a 0:28:05.900 --> 0:28:12.740 foregone conclusion. There's a horrific stack of stupid story getting 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:14.520 away from that. See if you can chuckle over this 0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:19.920 one or cringe, my men friends out there. Biological men. 0:28:20.770 --> 0:28:24.030 Indiana man who severed his penis and then allegedly set 0:28:24.070 --> 0:28:27.330 it on fire in his family's garage. Garage has been 0:28:27.490 --> 0:28:32.310 judged competent to stand trial for arson. Why are you 0:28:32.350 --> 0:28:32.710 doing that? 0:28:32.750 --> 0:28:33.010 I don't know. 0:28:33.050 --> 0:28:36.640 They'll never find out. This new decision from the judge 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:41.800 sets a May 2027 trial date for Christopher Pedden, who's 36. 0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:46.010 After a competency hearing, July 29th court appearance came after 0:28:46.250 --> 0:28:49.890 Pedden recently underwent separate court-ordered evaluations conducted by a pair 0:28:49.930 --> 0:28:53.350 of psychologists, doctors appointed to examine him. after the judge 0:28:53.530 --> 0:28:57.150 granted a defense motion to determine his competency and insanity. 0:28:58.890 --> 0:29:03.010 Competency reports authored by Dr. David Lombard and Dr. Stephen Ross, 0:29:03.150 --> 0:29:05.150 not part of the public court file, but Pennon, who's 0:29:05.190 --> 0:29:08.170 free on a $ 10, 000 bond, was arrested for allegedly setting 0:29:08.190 --> 0:29:09.690 a 2 o'clock in the morning fire at a Fort 0:29:09.730 --> 0:29:16.370 Wayne residence owned by his mom. Detailed in the court affidavit, 0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:20.510 Sworn by a fire investigator, Pendon, quote, harmed himself with 0:29:20.570 --> 0:29:24.050 a kitchen knife cutting off his penis, close quote. He then, quote, 0:29:24.090 --> 0:29:27.270 poured gasoline on his penis and set it on fire 0:29:27.370 --> 0:29:29.310 on the floor of the garage just inside the door, 0:29:29.650 --> 0:29:33.420 close quote. Apprehended by police as he walked away from 0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:35.720 the property. I would imagine he was limping. 0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:38.700 Okay. 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:38.860 Okay. 0:29:40.410 --> 0:29:41.050 The aristocrats. 0:29:41.070 --> 0:29:42.890 I guess you're right. 0:29:45.750 --> 0:29:48.080 Your concrete doesn't have to look awful. It doesn't have 0:29:48.100 --> 0:29:54.910 to look plain. That's 551 at 55KRCV Talk Station. Election Day. 0:29:57.780 --> 0:30:00.700 Nine minutes until the polls open in Kentucky and Indiana. 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.090 And about right now, I'm going to take Dennis' call. Dennis, 0:30:03.110 --> 0:30:05.420 thanks for calling the morning show today. Happy Election Day. 0:30:06.470 --> 0:30:08.370 Yes, I guess it is. 0:30:08.530 --> 0:30:08.890 Hopefully. 0:30:09.010 --> 0:30:11.390 I want to harken back to 2020 when we had 0:30:11.430 --> 0:30:14.810 that disaster called the COVID epidemic hit and the kinds 0:30:14.870 --> 0:30:22.570 of casualties that two categories of areas had to submit to. 0:30:23.150 --> 0:30:25.670 Here in Ohio, we have a population of a little 0:30:25.690 --> 0:30:29.400 less than 12 million people. We took 36,000 dead in 0:30:29.580 --> 0:30:36.430 one period in 2020. Conversely, a territory, a third world 0:30:37.570 --> 0:30:44.050 medical and economic area called Uttar Pradesh in India took 0:30:44.050 --> 0:30:50.160 22,000 casualties. The difference is that Ohio has that 12 0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:54.990 million population. Uttar Pradesh, up by the Nepalese border, There's 0:30:54.990 --> 0:30:58.570 240 million people. That's a province. That's not a whole country. 0:30:59.530 --> 0:31:07.620 And during the arithmetic, Ohioans took a death rate of 0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:13.100 over 32 times as many casualties, meaning deaths, than did 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:16.180 a third world country. And it was a difference. And 0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.960 it wasn't in vaccinations because it didn't exist at the time. 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:23.240 The difference was is that the early treatment of COVID 0:31:23.260 --> 0:31:29.490 was known. And in Ohio, the health department prohibited physicians 0:31:29.530 --> 0:31:31.890 from practicing medicine appropriately. 0:31:31.950 --> 0:31:32.360 Yes, they did. 0:31:32.430 --> 0:31:37.450 And prohibited pharmacists from filling prescriptions from licensed physicians, complete 0:31:37.470 --> 0:31:41.430 with narcotics licenses, to things that were more harmless than aspirin. 0:31:41.860 --> 0:31:42.410 Yes, they did. 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:46.880 And we're in a situation where we're looking at putting 0:31:46.940 --> 0:31:52.740 somebody into office that was responsible for literally the slaughter 0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:56.280 of Ohioans. What do you think of that? 0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:58.960 Well, you know, I'll just give you a nod of 0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.340 approval on all that, but I think the problem springs 0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:04.180 from the fact that Amy Acton was grossly incompetent and 0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:06.360 didn't know what the hell she was doing. You think 0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:09.340 she unilaterally came up with the idea of social distancing, 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:13.280 shutting down schools and mask mandates, allowing some businesses to 0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:15.330 stay open and others to not stay open? It was 0:32:15.350 --> 0:32:19.430 just a random, just sort of scattershot approach with everything, 0:32:19.470 --> 0:32:22.650 but she got all those ideas from outside sources. I mean, 0:32:22.690 --> 0:32:23.950 she didn't come up with it. 0:32:24.050 --> 0:32:24.250 Yeah. 0:32:24.840 --> 0:32:28.590 Obviously, you're dead on. You're dead on correct. She is 0:32:28.790 --> 0:32:32.050 not competent to run a bicycle shop under close supervision. 0:32:32.290 --> 0:32:32.750 I would agree. 0:32:32.830 --> 0:32:37.970 But she is manipulable, can be manipulated to the point 0:32:38.150 --> 0:32:42.920 where staff, not somebody elected, is going to control the government. 0:32:43.180 --> 0:32:46.700 We saw what happened with Biden and the destruction of 0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:51.840 a third or more of bank savings that people were 0:32:51.940 --> 0:32:55.210 holding onto for their retirements. in the four years that 0:32:55.730 --> 0:32:59.850 Uncle Joe was in office. It was clearly the same approach. 0:33:01.030 --> 0:33:03.890 Yeah, I'm sure the Democrats are saying, yeah, we know 0:33:03.930 --> 0:33:05.590 she's going to be a puppet, but she's our puppet. 0:33:06.090 --> 0:33:08.560 And her puppet masters are our puppet masters, and we'll 0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:11.560 take whatever she decides to pass along to us by 0:33:11.620 --> 0:33:15.880 way of suggestion from her unelected resources. I'm certain that's 0:33:15.900 --> 0:33:17.080 the way it's going to be. Either that or Pepper's 0:33:17.100 --> 0:33:19.640 going to run the state of Ohio, the lieutenant governor. 0:33:19.740 --> 0:33:19.940 Yeah. 0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:20.959 The. 0:33:22.870 --> 0:33:27.210 Election of Barack Hussein Obama was kind of the prototype 0:33:27.270 --> 0:33:30.660 of that, because he led to the open statement that 0:33:30.700 --> 0:33:33.400 he would prefer not to have a third term, but 0:33:33.420 --> 0:33:38.920 would rather just pull the strings of a marionette from 0:33:39.060 --> 0:33:43.010 his offices on Mass Avenue, up where the diplomatic embassies 0:33:43.170 --> 0:33:46.730 are located in Washington, D.C., and that's exactly what he did. 0:33:46.770 --> 0:33:50.030 He set up shop, essentially, as a foreign government agency. 0:33:50.650 --> 0:33:54.630 And manipulated and controlled what Uncle Joe did as, you know, 0:33:54.670 --> 0:33:58.880 brain-dead Woodrow Wilson did in his last year. 0:33:58.890 --> 0:34:01.380 He and his wife. Well, you know, I mean, look 0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:03.760 at it. If you're looking for a puppet to control, 0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.080 who easier than Amy Acton? You know? 0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:07.880 Absolutely. 0:34:07.900 --> 0:34:08.430 There you have it. 0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:10.160 Hey, you're brighter than the average bear. 0:34:11.540 --> 0:34:14.779 Appreciate it. Go vote, Dennis. Bring your friends. Get them 0:34:14.820 --> 0:34:17.950 out to vote. We can stop this from happening. Amy Acton. 0:34:18.330 --> 0:34:23.560 Think about it. Governor Amy Acton. I'm just so happy. 0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:23.900 Great. 0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:25.960 Okay. Wonderful. So I said we're going to be the 0:34:26.020 --> 0:34:28.970 laughingstock of the globe if we don't stop this from happening. 0:34:29.030 --> 0:34:32.690 But you know what? Tomorrow's another day. We will live 0:34:32.750 --> 0:34:35.190 and we will live to fight on another battle to 0:34:35.210 --> 0:34:38.410 the extent we lose. I'm not writing it off yet. Station. 0:34:38.410 --> 0:34:43.960 606 at 55 KRC, the talk station. Brian Thomas here 0:34:43.980 --> 0:34:46.359 wishing everyone a very happy election day and, of course, 0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:48.810 encouraging people to get out and vote. Lots of gloom 0:34:48.850 --> 0:34:51.050 and doom out there. Feeling it, feeling it, feeling it myself. 0:34:51.130 --> 0:34:53.469 And hopefully we can overcome that challenge and get out 0:34:53.489 --> 0:34:55.669 and vote and stop it from happening. It being Amy 0:34:55.790 --> 0:35:01.600 acting for governor. I just still can't get over that 0:35:01.660 --> 0:35:06.620 she is a viable candidate. Maybe you have some idea 0:35:06.660 --> 0:35:12.020 what that actually reflects. I think it's maybe political apathy, 0:35:12.140 --> 0:35:16.839 evil orange man. She's not a qualified candidate for the job. Okay. 0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:22.960 Vivek Ramachandran is telling me evil. All right. In what way? Well, 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.740 you try to develop pharmaceuticals that didn't work. Yeah, okay. 0:35:26.780 --> 0:35:29.700 That's what pharmaceutical companies do, and most of them don't. 0:35:30.500 --> 0:35:32.880 Spending billions of dollars trying to bring something that doesn't 0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.779 ultimately work because it failed in a stage three clinical trial. 0:35:35.820 --> 0:35:37.980 You don't continue to move forward with something that failed 0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:40.279 in a stage three clinical trial. At least you got 0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:47.080 it to stage three. They tried to bring a life-saving pharmaceutical. 0:35:47.180 --> 0:35:51.819 It just didn't work out. Welcome to entrepreneurialism. You're going 0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:54.180 to crash and burn from time to time when you're 0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:58.060 trying to find a product that the public demands and wants. Anyhow, 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, 0:35:58.080 --> 0:35:58.960 pound 550 on AT & T phones. Of course, it's 0:35:58.980 --> 0:36:00.780 election day. Polls were open in Indiana and Kentucky. You 0:36:00.810 --> 0:36:02.270 got about 25 minutes, a little less than 25 minutes 0:36:02.290 --> 0:36:12.960 for Ohio. So that's 6 to 6 Kentucky, 6 to 0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:16.300 6 in Indiana, and 630 to 730 here in Ohio. 0:36:16.410 --> 0:36:19.390 I'm assuming you understand the AM, PM reality. And does 0:36:19.410 --> 0:36:22.130 anybody else hate the current situation where there's no sun? 0:36:22.770 --> 0:36:25.290 I hate the clocks moving. Coming up, 7 to 5, Dr. 0:36:25.330 --> 0:36:27.549 Jay Risser with the Empower You seminars for the week. 0:36:27.570 --> 0:36:30.719 This week and next week, Tom Zalastowski, WeThePeopleConvention.org, with one 0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:34.440 more plea for you to go out and vote. Fast 0:36:34.460 --> 0:36:36.280 forward to 8 to 5, we've got the inside scoop, 0:36:36.300 --> 0:36:40.839 Breitbart News, politics reporter Olivia Rondau. Should we be talking 0:36:40.860 --> 0:36:43.529 about the latest election news from across the country? Maybe 0:36:43.550 --> 0:36:46.910 a comment about Alaska? Talk about Democrats just outright cheating. 0:36:47.670 --> 0:36:50.069 And there could be something criminal going on in Alaska, too. 0:36:50.090 --> 0:36:55.530 It depends on the, well, it's like Watergate. The cover-up 0:36:55.630 --> 0:36:59.399 ended up being worse than the underlying crime. So while 0:36:59.500 --> 0:37:02.860 everyone knows they were putting a same-name candidate on the 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.460 ballot and actually went out and solicited to find somebody 0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:07.629 to do that, The question is, will they lie about 0:37:07.670 --> 0:37:10.630 it to feds who are investigating the potential criminal activity 0:37:10.690 --> 0:37:13.350 along those lines? So just one of a multitude of 0:37:13.370 --> 0:37:16.710 things Democrats will do. And plus, what a violent collective 0:37:16.750 --> 0:37:19.910 group they have become. Is there any corollary between the 0:37:19.950 --> 0:37:23.390 Democrat violence and anger and vitriol on the Republican side 0:37:23.410 --> 0:37:28.520 of the ledger? I can't find it. Who's getting assassinated? 0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:31.680 Who's trying to kill who? Who's beating the crap out 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:33.820 of who when you look over across this land of 0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:40.440 ours of political differences that become violent? It's largely left-wing violence. Anyhow, 0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:44.200 Daniel Davis deep-dived the latest on Iran. Of course, we 0:37:44.219 --> 0:37:48.549 just dropped some bombs yesterday in response to the Iranians 0:37:48.590 --> 0:37:52.149 trying to shoot down one of our planes. So just 0:37:52.630 --> 0:37:58.270 a swirl of confusion on that one. No answer in sight. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK, 0:37:58.310 --> 0:38:01.569 pound 550 on AT & T phones. Peter Schweitzer's group, 0:38:01.590 --> 0:38:06.589 the Government Accountability Office, or Institute, GAI, just released their 0:38:06.650 --> 0:38:12.140 biannual Top 50 Election Threats Report, which reveals vulnerabilities in 0:38:12.180 --> 0:38:18.000 five major areas of election security. In the release, America's 0:38:18.060 --> 0:38:21.190 elections face threats from every direction, foreign adversaries, political operatives, 0:38:21.270 --> 0:38:24.410 dark money, governmental officials who refuse to enforce the rules. 0:38:25.110 --> 0:38:29.690 This report exposes more than 50 documented vulnerabilities. They say 0:38:29.730 --> 0:38:32.549 none of these threats are hypothetical. Each one is documented. 0:38:32.750 --> 0:38:35.050 And here's the point on this. Most can be fixed. 0:38:35.090 --> 0:38:37.790 Going back to Democrats just trying to cheat their way. 0:38:40.010 --> 0:38:43.509 You've got problems in your election system which can be 0:38:43.650 --> 0:38:47.049 exploited to allow unlawful votes by people just simply not 0:38:47.090 --> 0:38:49.400 legally allowed to cast a vote. Why don't you fix it? 0:38:51.360 --> 0:38:53.900 Answer the damn question. Why don't you fix the problem? 0:38:54.590 --> 0:38:56.150 You get every one of these Republicans out in the 0:38:56.190 --> 0:38:59.390 world and people who care about election integrity to shut up. Well, 0:38:59.430 --> 0:39:01.430 you got what you wanted. You got a photo ID law. 0:39:03.890 --> 0:39:07.629 Attestation released verification of citizenship status. All the other areas 0:39:07.670 --> 0:39:10.669 where we have holes that the GAI appointed out here, 0:39:10.750 --> 0:39:14.550 you can fix them all. According to the report details, 0:39:14.570 --> 0:39:18.570 a recent undercover investigation found two Iranian nationals registered to 0:39:18.610 --> 0:39:23.180 vote in Michigan. It's only a couple. New Jersey, 6,600 0:39:23.180 --> 0:39:27.969 self-identified non-citizens were registered to vote between 2023 and 2024. 0:39:27.969 --> 0:39:31.440 Recent Census Bureau report linked more than 24,000. voters in 0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:37.100 2020 elections alone to non-citizen status with high confidence. DHS 0:39:37.140 --> 0:39:42.790 separately identified 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections nationwide. 0:39:44.790 --> 0:39:48.650 The report points to permissive state policies. Here's where the 0:39:48.710 --> 0:39:51.480 rubber meets the road. Why do you have permissive state 0:39:51.500 --> 0:39:54.810 policies when it could lead to people voting that aren't 0:39:54.870 --> 0:39:59.870 lawfully entitled to vote, he asked. Minnesota's vouching system, cited 0:39:59.910 --> 0:40:03.890 as one of them, allows unidentified individuals to cast ballots 0:40:03.910 --> 0:40:11.060 without ever showing an ID. California laws shielding non-citizens from 0:40:11.100 --> 0:40:16.380 prosecution if they're caught registering to vote. Our GAI report 0:40:16.420 --> 0:40:19.540 reads the results of such policy is predictable. Weak voter 0:40:19.620 --> 0:40:22.100 ID laws, dirty voter rolls, and political operatives working to 0:40:22.140 --> 0:40:26.580 maximize turnout while disregarding election security have opened the floodgates 0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:30.759 for non-citizens voting. All the while, accountability is evaded. Is 0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:33.260 that what this is all about? Yeah, you're damn right 0:40:33.300 --> 0:40:38.270 it is. What other explanation, if you care about the 0:40:38.310 --> 0:40:42.210 vote being clean and lawful, what other explanation can you 0:40:42.330 --> 0:40:46.830 offer when there are giant semi-tractor trailer-sized holes you can 0:40:46.969 --> 0:40:52.250 drive through... to evade the requirements and obligations under the law. 0:40:53.430 --> 0:40:57.500 I guess they want non-citizens to vote. Well, brilliant conclusion, Thomas. 0:40:57.560 --> 0:40:59.560 We can talk about that all along. Yeah, I know. 0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:01.940 I'm doubling down on the fact that this is corruption 0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:05.440 welcomed by the Democrats. Can they win an election without 0:41:05.989 --> 0:41:09.610 this opportunity being presented? I know the holes in the 0:41:09.670 --> 0:41:12.509 election process that they can drive these trucks through in 0:41:12.550 --> 0:41:15.820 terms of illegals voting. Doesn't mean that the illegal immigrants 0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:17.840 are necessarily going to vote for Democrats, but if I 0:41:17.860 --> 0:41:20.680 was a betting man, I'm going to put all of 0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:26.460 it on that happening. Report pointed out that as of 0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:30.070 this year, 22 local governments in the United States allow 0:41:30.469 --> 0:41:34.890 non-citizens to vote. Only 18 have strong state constitutional language 0:41:34.989 --> 0:41:39.490 explicitly barring non-citizens from voting. That may change today because 0:41:39.530 --> 0:41:42.759 a bunch of states, including Ohio, is seeking to constitutionally 0:41:43.160 --> 0:41:46.980 memorialize the photo ID requirement here. Yeah, you can vote 0:41:47.020 --> 0:41:51.880 for that one. Only 36 states require any form of 0:41:52.380 --> 0:41:58.150 ID to vote. 36. Only 24 states require photo ID. 0:42:00.370 --> 0:42:06.790 What's wrong with the SAVE Act? Leupold, Wisconsin's voter ID law, 0:42:06.810 --> 0:42:11.549 according to the GAI, Let nearly 150,000 voters register as 0:42:11.950 --> 0:42:16.610 indefinitely confined received absentee ballots in 2024 without showing a 0:42:16.650 --> 0:42:22.730 qualifying photo ID. Indefinitely confined. I can't get out of 0:42:22.770 --> 0:42:26.410 my house. Mail me one. No photo ID. Voters can 0:42:26.450 --> 0:42:29.060 claim that status by simply checking a box that claims 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.580 their age, illness, or disability confines them to their house 0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:37.870 with no proof required. Nobody checking. The report also talked 0:42:37.890 --> 0:42:40.410 about or just raised issues about more than half of 0:42:40.450 --> 0:42:44.049 the states refusing free federal checks of their voter rolls. 0:42:44.450 --> 0:42:46.910 We've got all the documents here, says the federal government. 0:42:46.950 --> 0:42:48.989 Go ahead and cross-check your voter rolls to make sure 0:42:49.010 --> 0:42:51.450 that there aren't non-citizens, people, maybe dead people voting in 0:42:51.489 --> 0:42:53.750 your elections. No, we don't want to do that. Why? 0:42:54.820 --> 0:42:57.620 Why wouldn't you want clean voter rolls? That way when 0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:59.380 your candidate wins, you can say, no, we've got the 0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:02.200 tightest election system here in America. You couldn't make it 0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:04.180 any tighter. We won fair and square. 0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:04.259 Oh. 0:43:05.290 --> 0:43:13.650 Fair and square. Maybe absent these loopholes and holes and 0:43:14.350 --> 0:43:17.770 ease with which someone can violate the law, maybe that's 0:43:17.810 --> 0:43:20.930 what secures their victory. But absent plugging the holes, we'll 0:43:20.969 --> 0:43:23.210 never know now, will we? And we're left to speculate. 0:43:26.830 --> 0:43:33.070 The organization this year, GIA reported, or GAI rather, argues 0:43:33.110 --> 0:43:36.090 that Most threats to the United States election could be 0:43:36.150 --> 0:43:39.770 mitigated by enforcing existing laws or tightening them. Calling on 0:43:39.790 --> 0:43:41.880 the Senate to vote on the Save America Act is 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:45.319 a standalone bill that would require proof of citizenship for 0:43:45.420 --> 0:43:51.230 federal elections, which is the law anyway. What's wrong with that? Now, 0:43:51.250 --> 0:43:53.450 they acknowledge states have the right to govern their own elections. 0:43:53.489 --> 0:43:55.950 Every state should be compelled to cooperate with federal voter 0:43:55.969 --> 0:43:58.420 roll audits to ensure American votes are protected and the 0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.840 right to vote is not extended to non-citizens. This is 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.840 something that we all enjoy. It is a protection against 0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:06.340 having our elections influenced by people who aren't the citizens 0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:09.100 of the United States of America. Isn't that a good thing? 0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:16.950 Go ahead, answer the question. Isn't that a good thing? 0:44:18.450 --> 0:44:20.890 Who's standing in the way of that? Do we want 0:44:20.989 --> 0:44:25.270 our federal elections to be dominated by outside influences recently 0:44:25.310 --> 0:44:29.270 arriving here in the United States of America and not assimilated? 0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:36.760 Right here in Ohio, you've got a Democratic state representative, 0:44:36.860 --> 0:44:41.620 Ismail Mohamed, saying that, well, our aim is a united 0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:45.560 front to lobby for Somalia. This guy is a legitimate, 0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:48.819 a seated official, a citizen. He's okay to be there. 0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:52.719 but his advocacy is to lobby for Somalia. This is 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.320 someone who's allowed to be here, and his primary focus 0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:57.920 of being an elected official is to advocate for Somalia. 0:44:58.200 --> 0:44:59.879 What about all the people that just showed up from 0:44:59.900 --> 0:45:02.680 the four corners of the globe? You think they're advocating 0:45:02.739 --> 0:45:06.910 for positions that are strong for America and American citizens? 0:45:06.969 --> 0:45:10.450 Probably not. Probably not. 0:45:10.450 --> 0:45:12.450 616. 0:45:15.050 --> 0:45:18.830 Jay, I promise you you're first. Had to get what 0:45:18.890 --> 0:45:23.489 I could out of the talk station. 621-55-KRC, the talk station. Yeah, 0:45:23.510 --> 0:45:24.489 I'm going to go to the phones right now, but 0:45:24.510 --> 0:45:29.420 real quick here. You're right. Yes, Maureen. State Representative Ismail Mohammed, 0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:32.200 in addition to his game being to, well, a united 0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:34.560 front to lobby for Somalia. We here in Ohio with 0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:40.880 the largest Somalian population outside of Somalia. I guess after Minneapolis. 0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:41.040 70,000. 0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:45.140 Isn't that Governor DeWine's doing, Joe? He was a big 0:45:45.180 --> 0:45:48.280 fan of the Somali community. Hey, oh, Haitians, that's right. 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:52.170 That's a completely separate topic. Anyway, this Mohammed Ismail guy, 0:45:52.190 --> 0:45:57.069 or Ismail Mohammed, endorsed Amy Acton in a television ad. And, 0:45:57.090 --> 0:46:02.080 of course, she welcomes his endorsement. Although I think she's Jewish, 0:46:02.140 --> 0:46:04.400 isn't she? Anyway, Jay, thanks for holding, and welcome to 0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:05.020 The Morning Show. 0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:07.360 Hey, thank you, Brian. 0:46:07.420 --> 0:46:10.040 Hey, I think that you were nailing it with the 0:46:10.100 --> 0:46:10.620 SAVE Act. 0:46:11.100 --> 0:46:11.890 Here we go again. 0:46:11.890 --> 0:46:18.640 14 blue states leading 36 red states around by the nose. 0:46:18.660 --> 0:46:23.140 And Republicans have a lot that they own to be blamed. 0:46:22.950 --> 0:46:24.570 For if we lose this election. 0:46:24.670 --> 0:46:27.009 Oh, yeah. 0:46:27.590 --> 0:46:30.750 Let's just start talking, Ohio, about where are the conservatives 0:46:30.790 --> 0:46:32.029 and why aren't they showing up? 0:46:33.210 --> 0:46:36.009 Wait, wait, wait. You don't know that yet, Jay. You 0:46:36.050 --> 0:46:37.380 can't know that they're not showing up. 0:46:37.450 --> 0:46:38.120 No, we don't know that. 0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:42.560 I said yes. Do this post-mortem tomorrow. When we know. 0:46:42.580 --> 0:46:45.320 I mean, I don't want to discourage anybody from voting. 0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:47.440 It's a foregone conclusion, according to you, Jay, and I 0:46:47.460 --> 0:46:50.080 don't want to go down that road. I'm feeling that way, 0:46:50.140 --> 0:46:51.990 but I'm willing to wait it out and find out. 0:46:53.630 --> 0:46:57.689 But yeah, Republicans have a lot to blame themselves for 0:46:57.850 --> 0:47:02.049 in the event that there is a big loss when 0:47:02.070 --> 0:47:09.730 we wake up tomorrow. I agree with that. Go ahead. Tom, 0:47:09.770 --> 0:47:12.050 welcome to the morning show. Happy election day. 0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:14.960 Yeah, I had to call in today. 0:47:15.100 --> 0:47:16.739 Thank you, Tom. I missed hearing from you. 0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:20.620 I missed talking to you guys. I had to call 0:47:20.690 --> 0:47:25.230 in today and chime in on this. So, yeah, I've 0:47:25.270 --> 0:47:29.460 got the same feelings in general, but You know, your 0:47:29.500 --> 0:47:31.900 feelings are all based on what you're hearing and seeing 0:47:31.940 --> 0:47:34.900 and stuff like that. And that's not always the truth. 0:47:36.060 --> 0:47:39.819 So the left has a big loudspeaker out there called 0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:43.259 the media. And they wield it and do whatever they 0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:45.660 want with it and make people think this is what's 0:47:45.700 --> 0:47:48.480 going on when it's really not. And as much as 0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:50.219 they lie to us, as much as they use the 0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:53.670 media to lie to us, we can't really believe what 0:47:53.710 --> 0:48:01.200 we see. I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm very hopeful. Because this 0:48:01.260 --> 0:48:05.140 country and our way of life is worth saving. And 0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:10.470 every election, if we do lose, every election we lose 0:48:11.050 --> 0:48:14.570 is just farther down the road away from the country 0:48:14.590 --> 0:48:17.790 and the lifestyle that we love. And it's just more 0:48:17.810 --> 0:48:21.590 and more people trying to come in and infiltrate our country. 0:48:21.610 --> 0:48:22.850 I don't understand if. 0:48:25.130 --> 0:48:26.950 If you like it here so much, why are you 0:48:26.989 --> 0:48:29.090 wanting to change it and make it like the place 0:48:29.130 --> 0:48:30.390 you left? I don't get that. 0:48:30.969 --> 0:48:34.779 And what they purport to want is exactly what is 0:48:34.950 --> 0:48:38.580 failing the entire European Union. It's collapsing under the weight 0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:42.259 of what the socialists are pushing. Can't you wake up 0:48:42.380 --> 0:48:46.050 and see that, people? It doesn't work. You know, I 0:48:46.050 --> 0:48:48.870 can't go back. Amy Acton is a viable candidate. I mean, 0:48:48.950 --> 0:48:51.149 saying that out loud makes me just want to, like, 0:48:51.469 --> 0:48:54.350 did I wake up in some surreal Salvador Dali version 0:48:54.370 --> 0:48:56.509 of the United States of America? I mean, what the 0:48:56.590 --> 0:48:58.710 hell does that mean? That's why I'm saying, you know, 0:48:58.750 --> 0:49:00.350 I don't want to write it off completely. It's not 0:49:00.370 --> 0:49:03.830 a foregone conclusion because you say Governor Amy Acton, when 0:49:03.850 --> 0:49:05.569 you know what you know about her, when you see 0:49:05.770 --> 0:49:08.030 her in action, when you know what she has done 0:49:08.070 --> 0:49:10.610 in the past, how could she even have qualified to 0:49:10.660 --> 0:49:11.380 be a candidate? 0:49:12.739 --> 0:49:14.720 Well, you know, you think of all the other people 0:49:14.760 --> 0:49:19.890 that they've put up. and gotten past the finish line with. 0:49:20.040 --> 0:49:21.960 you know, so it's doable. 0:49:22.040 --> 0:49:24.440 Obviously, they know the left. 0:49:24.500 --> 0:49:28.219 The left can do all kinds of crazy, magical things 0:49:28.300 --> 0:49:31.450 with all the powers that they have, powers of persuasion 0:49:31.570 --> 0:49:34.290 using all of it. But everybody needs to make sure 0:49:34.350 --> 0:49:37.730 that they remember at all times, no matter what, Doesn't 0:49:37.770 --> 0:49:39.810 matter what they tell you. It doesn't matter what you 0:49:39.850 --> 0:49:43.350 think you're saying. Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day. 0:49:43.510 --> 0:49:45.690 Thanks, Tom. Good to hear from you, brother. Looking forward 0:49:45.710 --> 0:49:48.690 to having you back on regularly chiming in on this topic. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. 0:49:48.730 --> 0:49:50.270 Pound 550 on AT & T phones. Five minutes till 0:49:50.290 --> 0:49:52.770 the talk station. 629-55KRC, the talk station. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Pound 0:49:52.770 --> 0:50:07.259 550 on AT & T phones. Let's go to the phones. 0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:08.719 We've got Todd on the line. Todd, thanks so much 0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:10.259 for calling today. Happy Election Day. 0:50:11.700 --> 0:50:14.640 Happy Election Day, Brian. Just did that myself. 0:50:14.700 --> 0:50:16.660 Good for you. 0:50:16.680 --> 0:50:20.310 Over here in Kentucky, the polls opened at 6. And 0:50:20.450 --> 0:50:22.590 I was a little worried when I got there because 0:50:22.670 --> 0:50:27.310 there was nobody in line. But I got there about 0:50:27.310 --> 0:50:29.730 10 after 6. There had already been about a dozen 0:50:29.790 --> 0:50:33.160 people there. And when I left, there was about eight 0:50:33.180 --> 0:50:37.920 or nine more with more cars pulling in. So, so far, 0:50:38.180 --> 0:50:41.620 in my little district, we've got people turning out to vote. 0:50:43.489 --> 0:50:47.049 One thing on the Kentucky ballot, make sure you look 0:50:47.070 --> 0:50:49.810 at both sides of the ballot, because there's a couple 0:50:49.890 --> 0:50:55.029 races on the back side and a constitutional amendment to 0:50:55.110 --> 0:50:55.549 look at. 0:50:55.570 --> 0:50:55.710 So.... 0:50:58.330 --> 0:51:01.150 Flip that ballot over. Make sure you fill out both sides. 0:51:02.030 --> 0:51:06.050 And I would also encourage people, whether you're Democrat or Republican, 0:51:06.969 --> 0:51:09.750 you know, even if you're going to vote that way, 0:51:09.890 --> 0:51:13.319 don't check the straight ticket box. Go ahead and go 0:51:13.380 --> 0:51:18.680 down through the list. Look at each candidate because you 0:51:18.700 --> 0:51:22.080 might be on the fence. And, you know, it might 0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:25.399 cause you to reevaluate your choice. But go ahead. Give 0:51:25.440 --> 0:51:30.589 each race a look. see who's on there, and get 0:51:30.670 --> 0:51:35.300 out there and vote. And I think the most important thing, 0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:38.500 and I did not do this this morning, but the 0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:42.299 most important thing is don't vote Democrat. 0:51:42.920 --> 0:51:47.520 Hey, Todd, are you by any chance in Kentucky's 4th 0:51:47.560 --> 0:51:51.609 Congressional District, formerly Congressman Massey, is now Ed Gowrain running 0:51:51.640 --> 0:51:53.290 for that seat? Were you voting in that one? 0:51:54.550 --> 0:51:54.910 Yes, sir. 0:51:55.330 --> 0:51:59.759 OK, I just get Gowrain's been suspiciously absent from the well, 0:52:00.719 --> 0:52:03.040 the campaign stage. And I'm really not quite sure what 0:52:03.060 --> 0:52:05.280 he's running on other than what I read boiled down 0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:10.450 from the Cincinnati or Fox 19's on his position. But 0:52:10.469 --> 0:52:13.270 Melissa Strange is the challenger. I don't know what she 0:52:13.390 --> 0:52:15.149 where she has been or what she's running on either. 0:52:15.210 --> 0:52:18.370 So it was was there any advertising? Were there any campaigning? 0:52:18.390 --> 0:52:20.460 Was there any debate between Gowrain and Strange? 0:52:22.410 --> 0:52:24.990 I don't believe there was a debate, but there was 0:52:25.050 --> 0:52:29.120 campaigning going on, although, you know, it was more localized. 0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:33.400 It wasn't as upfront as some of the other races. 0:52:35.460 --> 0:52:44.230 But I heard nothing from the strange lady. I'm sorry, 0:52:44.290 --> 0:52:45.270 I couldn't help that. 0:52:45.290 --> 0:52:45.810 No, that's okay. 0:52:45.830 --> 0:52:45.930 No. 0:52:48.480 --> 0:52:50.340 No fan of Abigail Rain, am I? Because I'm a 0:52:50.390 --> 0:52:52.450 huge fan of Congressman Massey, and I always will be. 0:52:52.510 --> 0:52:57.770 But the Strange Lady, I think it's an accurate sort 0:52:57.810 --> 0:53:00.069 of summary of who she probably is. 0:53:00.170 --> 0:53:04.840 And that could be applied to the Ohio governor's race, too. 0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:09.739 Amy Strange Acton, yes. 0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:13.339 Or Kamala 2.0. 0:53:13.340 --> 0:53:16.420 Todd, are you confident that Gowran's going to win that one? 0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:18.940 I mean, coming off of Congressman Massey, I can't imagine 0:53:19.020 --> 0:53:21.280 the fourth going full-on Democrat. 0:53:24.060 --> 0:53:29.490 Brian, 64 years of life has taught me to never 0:53:29.550 --> 0:53:32.210 be confident about anything when it comes to elections. 0:53:32.450 --> 0:53:35.609 You sound like me. Fair enough, Todd. Thank you for 0:53:35.670 --> 0:53:38.360 calling in. If you've been to the polls, you want 0:53:38.380 --> 0:53:40.360 to give a report on how crowded they are, if 0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:42.200 people are showing up in large numbers, I'd love to 0:53:42.219 --> 0:53:42.630 hear from you. 0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:42.859 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. 0:53:42.890 --> 0:53:44.430 Found 550 on AT & T phone. Yeah, Kentucky's going 0:53:44.469 --> 0:53:45.810 to decide the Mitch McConnell seat today. 0:53:45.830 --> 0:53:45.930 Yeah. 0:53:54.110 --> 0:53:56.930 And the pardoning powers, that's Amendment 1, is on the 0:53:56.969 --> 0:53:59.050 ballot in Kentucky. Kentucky is going to vote yes or 0:53:59.090 --> 0:54:02.140 no on Amendment 1, which would limit the governor's pardoning power. 0:54:02.160 --> 0:54:04.160 If it passes, it will prohibit the governor from pardoning 0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:07.860 someone from 60 days before a gubernatorial election until the 0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:11.000 day the governor is sworn in. Yes vote would approve 0:54:11.020 --> 0:54:15.040 the amendment. No vote would leave Kentucky Constitution unchanged. So 0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:19.100 there's your extra item for my friends in Kentucky. Over 0:54:19.120 --> 0:54:22.600 to local stories beyond the 44 arrests that did, in fact, 0:54:22.640 --> 0:54:27.160 take place over the weekend in downtown Cincinnati. What else happened? 0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.430 Suspect on the run after holding up a UDF in 0:54:29.489 --> 0:54:32.210 Madisonville yesterday. According to Cincinnati Police, they showed up at 0:54:32.230 --> 0:54:34.469 the convenience store and gas station on Madison Road about 0:54:34.469 --> 0:54:37.230 1230 in the morning. Gunman wearing a mask and all 0:54:37.290 --> 0:54:40.870 black clothes, according to police. Last seen running away from 0:54:40.910 --> 0:54:43.310 the UDF. Canine sent into the area, but the suspect 0:54:43.350 --> 0:54:45.509 still managed to escape. Any information, you want to get 0:54:45.530 --> 0:54:48.800 in touch with the Cincinnati Police Department on that. Walnut Hills. 0:54:49.460 --> 0:54:51.880 Man arrested in connection with the deadly Walnut Hills shooting 0:54:51.900 --> 0:54:56.140 that happened in the spring. Jeshuan Camper, 25, taken to custody, 0:54:56.180 --> 0:54:59.380 charged with murder and felonious assault this past Friday, months 0:54:59.600 --> 0:55:01.540 after the shooting in the 2400 block of May Street. 0:55:01.560 --> 0:55:05.370 According to the Cincinnati Police, officers showed up at the 0:55:05.390 --> 0:55:08.190 scene on May 20th when they found 40-year-old Eugene Walls 0:55:08.270 --> 0:55:10.390 with a gunshot wound to the chest, taken to the 0:55:10.430 --> 0:55:13.469 hospital where he died. Camper taken to the Hamlin County 0:55:13.489 --> 0:55:15.969 Justice Center where he's expected back in court on the 6th. 0:55:17.250 --> 0:55:19.629 Investigation is ongoing, so the police say if you have 0:55:19.750 --> 0:55:22.790 any information, the homicide unit is who to call, 513-352-3542. 0:55:23.510 --> 0:55:28.260 More to talk about. Please feel free to give me 0:55:28.280 --> 0:55:30.960 a call if you're in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. All the 0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:35.899 polls are open. It's 639-55KRCD Talk Station. Happy Election Day. 0:55:35.940 --> 0:55:37.680 Get out and vote. Polls are open in Ohio, Kentucky, 0:55:37.700 --> 0:55:42.140 and Indiana to do just that. Yeah, and you must 0:55:42.219 --> 0:55:44.900 go out and vote. And all those different methodologies of fraud, 0:55:44.940 --> 0:55:46.360 and thank you, Maureen, you pointed this out. It was 0:55:46.380 --> 0:55:47.560 kind of what I was going to. You've got to 0:55:47.580 --> 0:55:49.560 be gloomy and doomy, which is how I feel. I 0:55:49.660 --> 0:55:51.799 can't believe that we are even close in this kind 0:55:51.820 --> 0:55:57.860 of election. But all of the mechanisms for illegal voting 0:55:57.920 --> 0:56:02.469 to take place, that assumes a certain percentage of people 0:56:02.510 --> 0:56:05.210 will vote illegally. How many people can that possibly be? 0:56:05.230 --> 0:56:06.910 And this isn't me saying it's not that big of 0:56:06.989 --> 0:56:09.670 a deal. It is a very big deal. But if 0:56:09.850 --> 0:56:13.339 Republicans or conservatives or even independent-minded folks who don't want 0:56:13.360 --> 0:56:16.160 the election stolen show up in large numbers, you can 0:56:16.380 --> 0:56:21.220 overwhelm the illegal voting component of the Democrat votes. And again, 0:56:21.320 --> 0:56:23.750 I'm going to default saying that anybody voting illegally is 0:56:23.790 --> 0:56:28.150 doing so to benefit the Democrat Party. Democrats are the 0:56:28.170 --> 0:56:29.830 only ones standing in the way of some reforms that 0:56:29.850 --> 0:56:33.000 will stop this possibly from happening. So the only way 0:56:33.060 --> 0:56:36.060 to defeat it in a world where they don't care 0:56:36.140 --> 0:56:39.500 about plugging the opportunities to vote illegally is to show 0:56:39.620 --> 0:56:43.500 up in large numbers. Many suggest that's exactly what happened, 0:56:43.620 --> 0:56:46.379 and that's the reason why Donald Trump is president right now. 0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:50.370 Because all these opportunities to vote illegally existed when he 0:56:50.410 --> 0:56:53.169 got elected again. So remember that, keep it in mind, 0:56:53.250 --> 0:56:55.859 and As bad as you feel going in that you're 0:56:55.900 --> 0:56:58.310 not going to win tomorrow, your vote still means a 0:56:58.469 --> 0:57:00.630 tremendous amount. Let's go to the phone and see what 0:57:00.670 --> 0:57:03.370 Drew Pappas has. Mr. Pappas, welcome to the morning show, sir. 0:57:03.410 --> 0:57:05.049 It's always great hearing from you. Going to be in 0:57:05.090 --> 0:57:06.960 your neck of the woods tomorrow for listener lunch at 0:57:07.000 --> 0:57:07.839 Anderson Pub and Grill. 0:57:09.320 --> 0:57:12.540 I'll have to definitely... Thanks for... I've been a little preoccupied, 0:57:12.580 --> 0:57:16.680 if you can imagine. Thanks for reminding me. I will 0:57:16.700 --> 0:57:17.840 definitely be there. 0:57:17.900 --> 0:57:20.500 I'm glad to hear that. At least I'll have you 0:57:20.600 --> 0:57:23.480 to cry over my beer or celebrate and hoist a 0:57:23.500 --> 0:57:26.780 beer in happiness over the election. Either way we go, 0:57:27.570 --> 0:57:28.700 I'm definitely going to be there. 0:57:29.670 --> 0:57:35.230 Whatever happens, happens. We've seen a lot of changes in 0:57:35.250 --> 0:57:39.170 the electorate here, especially out on our side of town. However, 0:57:40.380 --> 0:57:46.140 That being said, nothing frustrates me more than hearing people, 0:57:47.020 --> 0:57:53.230 whether it's on the radio or on social media, lamenting, blah, 0:57:53.290 --> 0:57:53.810 this or. 0:57:53.770 --> 0:57:54.390 Blah, that. 0:57:54.410 --> 0:57:56.130 And then you boil it down a little bit deeper 0:57:56.170 --> 0:57:59.470 and you say, well, you know, A, did you vote? 0:58:00.150 --> 0:58:02.810 And if the answer comes back, no, the conversation for 0:58:02.850 --> 0:58:03.990 me stops right there. 0:58:04.090 --> 0:58:04.570 Exactly. 0:58:05.450 --> 0:58:09.439 You know, you have an obligation and And I call 0:58:09.520 --> 0:58:16.040 on all those people of either self-proclaimed or whatever type 0:58:16.080 --> 0:58:19.620 of faith you profess to have. If you stay home 0:58:19.720 --> 0:58:24.780 today for whatever reason because candidate A in a certain 0:58:24.860 --> 0:58:28.820 slot didn't fit your narrative of the perfect candidate, I'd 0:58:28.860 --> 0:58:31.040 like to remind you there's only been one perfect human 0:58:31.060 --> 0:58:33.360 being on this planet, and they nailed him to a 0:58:33.440 --> 0:58:37.190 cross several thousand years ago. At the end of the day, 0:58:37.210 --> 0:58:41.710 no one is perfect. And this is not election day. 0:58:41.730 --> 0:58:46.320 It's not Valentine's Day. It's not a professing of your 0:58:46.410 --> 0:58:49.500 love of a candidate. It's a chess game that you're 0:58:49.540 --> 0:58:53.940 playing with the other side. And chess games involve strategy. 0:58:54.540 --> 0:58:55.520 It involves thought. 0:58:55.540 --> 0:59:02.290 It involves future motions, future moves. And you think moves ahead. So, 0:59:02.410 --> 0:59:05.580 you know, get out there and support the candidate that 0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:10.360 most closely aligns with your beliefs and has it. least 0:59:10.580 --> 0:59:14.320 in some way, shape or form expressed support for your beliefs. 0:59:14.920 --> 0:59:17.640 And if you don't vote, you really have no one 0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:21.110 to blame. You can't point your finger at, you know, 0:59:21.170 --> 0:59:24.010 the other side, whatever that side might be and say, well, 0:59:24.050 --> 0:59:25.650 you know, they did this or they did that. The 0:59:25.710 --> 0:59:29.670 fault lies with you. So I love. 0:59:29.470 --> 0:59:32.550 What you're saying this morning, most every morning, actually. 0:59:32.590 --> 0:59:38.290 But this morning, you're really hitting a nerve because we 0:59:38.330 --> 0:59:41.850 have a lot of good people out here across the 0:59:42.050 --> 0:59:46.470 county that are manning polls this morning, some in not 0:59:46.490 --> 0:59:50.900 the friendliest environments. And they're handing out sample ballots so 0:59:50.940 --> 0:59:54.880 people can see who most closely aligns with the party 0:59:54.940 --> 0:59:58.730 that I support, the Republican Party, especially our judges who 0:59:58.790 --> 1:00:01.210 do not have the benefit of having an R or 1:00:01.270 --> 1:00:04.170 D next to their name. And given the violence that 1:00:04.210 --> 1:00:07.830 we've seen in Hamilton County, given the headlines that we've seen, 1:00:07.910 --> 1:00:11.890 given the disregard for law and order by our judges 1:00:11.970 --> 1:00:15.260 that are in place now, supported and endorsed by the 1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:20.440 Democrat Party, I do not understand how anybody in any way, shape, 1:00:20.480 --> 1:00:23.980 or form can go out and vote. And I'd like 1:00:24.000 --> 1:00:27.260 to give a special acknowledgement, if I might, to the 1:00:27.480 --> 1:00:32.920 efforts that our party has put forth this election cycle 1:00:33.440 --> 1:00:36.380 and has really worked their tail off under the guidance 1:00:36.480 --> 1:00:39.750 of our new party chairman, Josh Gerth, who has really, 1:00:39.770 --> 1:00:42.790 I can honestly say, I might have a little inside 1:00:42.850 --> 1:00:46.210 information here more than most, but he has worked his 1:00:46.290 --> 1:00:50.840 proverbial tail off in a few short months to try 1:00:50.860 --> 1:00:57.040 to whip this county together. and get whatever victories might 1:00:57.080 --> 1:01:03.170 be possible today. So, you know, for no compensation, I'd like. 1:01:03.070 --> 1:01:04.710 To point that out as well. 1:01:05.190 --> 1:01:08.669 People have a misnomer that the party gets money from 1:01:08.710 --> 1:01:12.590 the state and the local Hamilton County gets a stipend 1:01:12.630 --> 1:01:16.650 from the state and there's a big giant safe inside 1:01:16.710 --> 1:01:20.720 Hamilton County headquarters. Nothing could be further from the truth. 1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:24.950 And the people that volunteer and donate their time for 1:01:24.990 --> 1:01:27.610 this are doing it out of a love for country 1:01:28.290 --> 1:01:30.130 and a love for, you know, I'm not doing it 1:01:31.030 --> 1:01:33.910 for my kids. I don't have any. And a lot 1:01:33.950 --> 1:01:36.190 of people out here aren't doing it necessarily for their kids. 1:01:36.210 --> 1:01:38.680 They're doing it for your kids, for everyone's kids. So 1:01:38.700 --> 1:01:41.020 they grow up in a country with the most opportunity 1:01:42.400 --> 1:01:45.860 to succeed. And they're not necessarily looking for a handout. 1:01:45.900 --> 1:01:50.050 They're just looking for an opportunity. So I just... I 1:01:50.140 --> 1:01:54.160 can't stress enough how everybody needs to get out there 1:01:54.180 --> 1:01:56.320 and vote. And sadly, you and I will lament. The 1:01:56.420 --> 1:02:00.280 one thing I will lament most tomorrow with you at 1:02:00.400 --> 1:02:06.340 Anderson Township Pub is the participation rate, whatever that turns 1:02:06.420 --> 1:02:08.400 out to be. And I don't know what the over-under 1:02:08.890 --> 1:02:13.169 here is in Hamilton County, what you profess to think 1:02:13.230 --> 1:02:16.990 the turnout would be. But if we're hopeful for, I mean, 1:02:17.010 --> 1:02:19.650 what would make you happy, Brian, a turnout rate? 1:02:20.830 --> 1:02:24.150 Well, I really would like to see something in the 1:02:24.150 --> 1:02:28.150 70 percentile, 75 percent maybe. That would be overwhelming, obviously 1:02:28.170 --> 1:02:30.510 a lot bigger in an off-year election, even though I 1:02:30.530 --> 1:02:33.520 don't consider this an off-year election. But I'm not holding 1:02:33.580 --> 1:02:35.580 out any hopes for that level of turnout, sadly. 1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:39.000 I don't even know if that's– I mean, to be fair, 1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:41.220 I don't even know if that's ever happened. 1:02:41.280 --> 1:02:44.110 I don't think it has. I'm guessing. It's a complete guess. 1:02:44.140 --> 1:02:47.170 Sphincter-inspired figure pulled from my sphincter. So I don't know. 1:02:47.210 --> 1:02:49.200 But it will be kind of cool. That'd be kind 1:02:49.220 --> 1:02:50.850 of in line with European elections, wouldn't it? 1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:55.020 I just I just you know, here we are all 1:02:55.060 --> 1:02:57.280 the effort and I will miss. I have to say 1:02:57.380 --> 1:02:59.220 I talked to Joe. I hope there's some way that 1:02:59.240 --> 1:03:02.380 we can scroll back and save so that when I 1:03:02.420 --> 1:03:05.300 have insomnia at some point I can play back these 1:03:05.360 --> 1:03:11.390 campaign ads ad nauseum. But, you know, the the. So 1:03:11.430 --> 1:03:13.520 maybe that's a maybe that's a Web page we can 1:03:13.580 --> 1:03:17.900 create with old ads, old campaign ads and just scroll them. But, 1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:21.180 you know, if we're sitting here working our tails off, 1:03:21.200 --> 1:03:25.410 these candidates are spending money. And let me say this. 1:03:25.490 --> 1:03:29.590 Have you ever seen on the state level? Our Republican 1:03:29.970 --> 1:03:33.350 state organization has been in a bus for damn near 1:03:33.410 --> 1:03:37.820 two weeks rolling across every square inch of Ohio, attending 1:03:38.060 --> 1:03:41.830 every function. reaching out to try to reach almost every, 1:03:42.110 --> 1:03:44.050 every acre of Ohio. 1:03:44.510 --> 1:03:44.710 Right. 1:03:44.770 --> 1:03:46.890 And, you know, they've worked there and I'm just going 1:03:46.910 --> 1:03:48.880 to say it out is a lot of people will admit, well, 1:03:48.910 --> 1:03:51.460 you know, and I'm not picking on any one caller, 1:03:51.480 --> 1:03:53.520 but people will call up and say, you know, the 1:03:53.600 --> 1:03:56.840 Republicans need to do this or the Republicans need to 1:03:56.860 --> 1:04:00.280 do that in some just big white wall brush. But, 1:04:00.320 --> 1:04:03.000 you know, I've seen a lot of elections. I don't 1:04:03.080 --> 1:04:08.280 recall one that's, There has been this concerted effort, at 1:04:08.320 --> 1:04:10.460 least on my party's part, to get out there at 1:04:10.540 --> 1:04:13.950 both the state and local level and drum up and 1:04:13.990 --> 1:04:17.170 make the case that they're the best choice and just vote. 1:04:17.710 --> 1:04:18.780 I just don't remember it. 1:04:19.450 --> 1:04:22.670 Look at Trump. In addition to what's going on within 1:04:22.710 --> 1:04:24.370 the state of Ohio and the Ohio Republican Party, look 1:04:24.390 --> 1:04:26.810 at what Trump's been doing. That guy's been traveling around 1:04:26.830 --> 1:04:29.370 the country 24-7 doing the exact same thing and having 1:04:29.450 --> 1:04:31.710 to go, and I emphasize the word having, having to 1:04:31.750 --> 1:04:34.720 go to states which used to be a guaranteed lock 1:04:34.740 --> 1:04:37.180 for the Republican Party. I think this concerted effort and 1:04:37.280 --> 1:04:39.760 all this work is done out of a genuine concern 1:04:39.780 --> 1:04:41.900 that we're going to see a really crazy blue wave, 1:04:41.940 --> 1:04:44.520 and unlike any former blue wave, this blue wave is 1:04:44.600 --> 1:04:48.270 filled with socialists, a party that has embraced it. 1:04:49.450 --> 1:04:52.890 I'm looking today, the races, not only local, obviously, those 1:04:52.950 --> 1:04:55.670 are very important, and I'm helping making sure that our 1:04:55.690 --> 1:04:59.850 polls are staffed and with people and literature so that 1:04:59.890 --> 1:05:03.010 people make a informed decision when they go in, but 1:05:03.700 --> 1:05:07.840 I'm looking at races in Texas. If Tallarico wins, I 1:05:07.860 --> 1:05:11.070 don't know what that means for the populace in general. 1:05:11.710 --> 1:05:16.290 If Saeed wins in Michigan, I don't know what that 1:05:16.350 --> 1:05:20.760 means for our country. These are races that I'm looking at. 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:26.800 If Amy Acton, given everything, given video that Just yesterday 1:05:26.920 --> 1:05:29.500 or the two days ago, you know, Amy Acton, we 1:05:29.560 --> 1:05:33.700 finally have seen why they don't allow unscripted video because 1:05:34.180 --> 1:05:39.630 apparently sobriety is a challenge for her. You know, I 1:05:39.670 --> 1:05:43.450 just I will scratch my head and say, you know, 1:05:43.750 --> 1:05:47.870 I don't understand the voter when a candidate of this 1:05:48.210 --> 1:05:52.030 cloth can be considered not only a viable candidate. But 1:05:52.160 --> 1:05:55.459 also then have a fairly decent shot, if not win 1:05:55.480 --> 1:06:00.640 the election. Given all the information that's available out there. 1:06:00.860 --> 1:06:04.500 Because why? Because you don't like Donald Trump. Well, Donald 1:06:04.520 --> 1:06:06.380 Trump is only going to be in office two more years. 1:06:07.080 --> 1:06:10.500 But the decisions you make now on who you elect 1:06:10.700 --> 1:06:13.050 echo through eternity. So there you got it. 1:06:13.410 --> 1:06:15.850 Well stated, Drew. I appreciate it. Oh, real quick here. 1:06:15.870 --> 1:06:18.590 Chip wants to know, is there an East Side Watch party? 1:06:19.150 --> 1:06:19.490 If you know. 1:06:21.110 --> 1:06:24.290 Um, I know that there's one up at the, uh, 1:06:24.530 --> 1:06:27.500 up on the North side of town. I don't believe 1:06:27.540 --> 1:06:31.720 there's actually a organized, you know, the, the, the problem is, 1:06:31.800 --> 1:06:35.050 is that number one, these people that have been working 1:06:35.090 --> 1:06:37.070 out here, when it comes to seven 30 at night, 1:06:37.110 --> 1:06:38.950 when the polls close, they're going to be pretty tired 1:06:38.990 --> 1:06:41.260 and they're going to want to go home. And even 1:06:41.300 --> 1:06:43.260 a politico like me, I mean, I don't know if 1:06:43.340 --> 1:06:45.340 I am or I'm not, but I would say some 1:06:45.380 --> 1:06:48.180 people have described me as such. When it comes to 1:06:48.180 --> 1:06:50.930 730 at night, I pretty much want to turtle up 1:06:51.010 --> 1:06:53.330 and go home and put my feet up and watch 1:06:53.390 --> 1:06:57.930 the returns. I don't believe there's an organized East Side. 1:06:58.470 --> 1:07:02.350 watch party. I know at the Silver Spring House, there 1:07:02.410 --> 1:07:04.970 will be a watch party there, and that is a 1:07:05.090 --> 1:07:09.790 wonderful facility owned by a wonderful human being that helps 1:07:09.830 --> 1:07:13.450 serve the causes. So I would suggest that if you 1:07:13.470 --> 1:07:18.050 want to go watch returns roll in and ponder and 1:07:18.310 --> 1:07:22.840 be among like-minded people, I would say Silver Spring House. 1:07:23.140 --> 1:07:25.220 That's the closest one that pops in my head. 1:07:25.240 --> 1:07:28.440 And Magistrate Lucan, hopefully will be Judge Lucan after today. 1:07:28.540 --> 1:07:30.880 She is having hers there as well. So maybe it's 1:07:30.900 --> 1:07:34.040 a collective of conservative politicians. But you're right about the 1:07:34.080 --> 1:07:37.240 Silver Spring House without question. Drew, thank you for the call, man. 1:07:37.740 --> 1:07:39.540 Thank you for all your efforts and your work as well. 1:07:39.580 --> 1:07:43.160 I truly appreciate it. 651, real quick here. Get your roof, siding, 1:07:43.180 --> 1:07:48.810 gutters inspected before winter. 7 0 6 F 55 care. 1:07:48.830 --> 1:07:50.210 See the toxins got to wait for the buildup. 1:07:51.570 --> 1:07:51.720 Right. 1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:54.020 I was here and I see up and Jeff and Jennifer, 1:07:54.120 --> 1:07:55.900 please hold. I'll be happy to get your calls after 1:07:55.920 --> 1:08:00.060 we're done talking with Jay Rizzo, who's managing the empower 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:02.860 you america.org seminar series. And Ben has some great ones 1:08:02.920 --> 1:08:05.300 coming up here. Notably on the 10th, Jay, I'm allowed 1:08:05.320 --> 1:08:08.930 to prioritize based on my subjective opinion, but welcome back, Jay. 1:08:09.090 --> 1:08:10.310 It's great having you on the program. 1:08:11.940 --> 1:08:14.060 I agree with you, Brian. I want you to prioritize. 1:08:14.100 --> 1:08:15.780 That'll be a good one, too. Oh, yeah. 1:08:15.820 --> 1:08:18.389 Let's talk about November 5th, because there's no Empower You 1:08:18.430 --> 1:08:21.849 seminar tonight. Normally, Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it's Election Day, right? 1:08:21.870 --> 1:08:23.210 So we're going to kick it off until Thursday. 1:08:24.430 --> 1:08:24.630 Right. 1:08:24.670 --> 1:08:26.830 Everybody go out and vote. Yes. Come to our Scarlet 1:08:26.870 --> 1:08:31.479 Oaks classroom. Please go out and vote. So November 5th, 1:08:32.220 --> 1:08:35.760 Thursday this week, in person we'll have Bold by Julie O'Neill. 1:08:36.240 --> 1:08:39.160 Don't know if you remember her. She spent 27 years 1:08:39.240 --> 1:08:42.810 at WCPO-TV. She's one of our local newscasters. Been in 1:08:42.830 --> 1:08:46.470 the community a long time. And she wrote this book, Bold, 1:08:46.510 --> 1:08:48.830 the secret to my big wins to help you crash 1:08:48.910 --> 1:08:52.570 through your comfort zone. It's a memoir and a self-help guide. 1:08:52.590 --> 1:08:55.650 And it draws from her decades in TV news and 1:08:55.720 --> 1:08:58.639 strategies to overcome fear and take risks and build confidence. 1:08:59.160 --> 1:09:03.220 And she had a kind of controversial departure from WCPO-TV, 1:09:03.680 --> 1:09:07.080 and she rejected a $ 50, 000 severance package to avoid signing 1:09:07.140 --> 1:09:11.379 a non-disclosure agreement, choosing instead to speak publicly about her experience. 1:09:11.400 --> 1:09:13.559 So I don't really have the details on this, and 1:09:13.600 --> 1:09:15.009 now I am teased. 1:09:15.120 --> 1:09:15.620 I am ready. 1:09:15.650 --> 1:09:17.889 I got to find out what happened and why. 1:09:17.810 --> 1:09:18.290 She did this. 1:09:18.520 --> 1:09:21.500 Yeah, this is in person or log in from home, correct? 1:09:22.660 --> 1:09:26.100 That is correct. In person at 300 Scarlet Oaks Drive 1:09:26.620 --> 1:09:29.600 at the Empower U at Scarlet Oaks. And, of course, 1:09:30.100 --> 1:09:34.920 on Zoom or Rumble or on our website at empoweruamerica.org. 1:09:34.939 --> 1:09:35.850 Just make sure you register. 1:09:35.860 --> 1:09:37.150 Please come listen to us anyway. 1:09:37.200 --> 1:09:39.590 Yeah, register before 7 p.m. on Thursday and check that 1:09:39.670 --> 1:09:41.470 one out. And then the one that I'm excited about, 1:09:41.510 --> 1:09:43.490 and I think my listening audience will really be intrigued 1:09:43.510 --> 1:09:45.590 by this one, the one on November 10th, Jay. 1:09:47.640 --> 1:09:50.200 Yeah, that'll be Tuesday. It'll be virtual. But, you know, 1:09:50.240 --> 1:09:54.000 he is out of town. But they're all virtual on Tuesdays. 1:09:54.100 --> 1:09:55.500 And we'll have Dan Regan. I was going to be 1:09:55.520 --> 1:09:58.680 hosting him virtually. So he has to be the one 1:09:58.700 --> 1:10:00.150 who managed to acquire Tyler. 1:10:00.189 --> 1:10:02.050 You didn't. There you go. You got to say who 1:10:02.090 --> 1:10:04.990 we're talking about. The name of the seminar, Jay. Inside Doge. 1:10:05.170 --> 1:10:06.970 What really happened with Tyler Hassett? 1:10:08.890 --> 1:10:12.710 Tyler is one of the boys, I think, that Elon 1:10:12.750 --> 1:10:16.200 Musk brought to Washington in the Doge group. And this 1:10:16.300 --> 1:10:20.860 is his senior advisor's tell-all book. It includes late-night meetings 1:10:20.939 --> 1:10:26.560 in the West Wing to high-stakes confrontations with senators. I 1:10:27.010 --> 1:10:28.809 swear I was not drinking with Amy Acton. 1:10:30.050 --> 1:10:31.889 You're not running for office either, Jay. 1:10:33.050 --> 1:10:33.570 That's true. 1:10:34.510 --> 1:10:36.310 I'm sure I probably sound drunk from time to time 1:10:36.350 --> 1:10:37.870 here on the morning show as well, but you try 1:10:37.890 --> 1:10:39.620 it four hours a day, five days a week without 1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:41.360 screwing up. It can't be done. 1:10:42.880 --> 1:10:43.660 It can't be done. 1:10:44.189 --> 1:10:47.190 Plus that getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Oh, 1:10:47.370 --> 1:10:47.870 if only. 1:10:47.890 --> 1:10:51.969 You're giving me an extra half-hour bedtime there, Jay? No, 2.30. Anyway, 1:10:52.110 --> 1:10:55.210 pivoting over from November 10th. Remember, Inside Doge on November 10th, 1:10:55.210 --> 1:10:58.519 7 p.m., login only. That's going to be a great one. 1:10:58.530 --> 1:11:01.160 He's going to have some mind-blowing revelations on that. Pivoting 1:11:01.200 --> 1:11:02.740 over November 12th, what's this one? 1:11:05.000 --> 1:11:08.460 Well, two speakers. First, our Take 20, Mike Odioso. I 1:11:08.500 --> 1:11:09.200 believe you know him. 1:11:09.260 --> 1:11:09.960 Oh, yeah, he's a good man. 1:11:09.979 --> 1:11:12.760 He's in the state legislature. He's a good man, and 1:11:12.820 --> 1:11:15.719 he will be giving us the Ohio State Legislature update. 1:11:16.060 --> 1:11:19.639 There is a lot of legislature. Now that the election 1:11:19.660 --> 1:11:21.540 season will be over, we can kind of look at 1:11:21.580 --> 1:11:25.960 where our Ohio Congress is going to be moving forward 1:11:26.080 --> 1:11:29.860 in the future. And then we'll have Tom Hagedorn, who's 1:11:30.140 --> 1:11:33.320 one of our board members. He is going to talk 1:11:33.340 --> 1:11:36.620 a little bit about our incredible universe. Between the Hubble 1:11:36.640 --> 1:11:41.429 telescope and everything that we've been learning with these long-range telescopes, 1:11:42.680 --> 1:11:46.139 He's going to give us kind of an astronomy and 1:11:46.500 --> 1:11:50.019 science background of the universe. And I'm always fascinated by 1:11:50.040 --> 1:11:53.900 this kind of stuff. He'll have some great pictures to show. 1:11:53.740 --> 1:11:54.080 Us, too. 1:11:54.180 --> 1:11:57.740 And they just discovered another planet outside of Pluto. I 1:11:57.800 --> 1:11:59.260 read this article this morning. I think it was on 1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:02.719 Fox News. So there's another celestial body out there somewhere 1:12:02.740 --> 1:12:06.300 between 400 and 900 miles wide outside of Pluto's orbit. 1:12:06.800 --> 1:12:10.920 So the ever-evolving understanding of the universe, it is fascinating 1:12:10.979 --> 1:12:11.800 and mind-blowing, too. 1:12:13.590 --> 1:12:15.790 Pluto is a planetoid, no longer a planet. 1:12:15.830 --> 1:12:19.070 Yeah, whatever. It's outside of the realm of Pluto, and 1:12:19.090 --> 1:12:21.090 we had never found it before. So there it is 1:12:21.150 --> 1:12:22.849 for all to see. I guess you need a high-powered 1:12:22.870 --> 1:12:25.950 telescope on some remote mountain in Chile or whatever. But 1:12:26.310 --> 1:12:28.610 you can read about that independently. Maybe he'll comment on that. 1:12:30.979 --> 1:12:34.740 And then I guess November 17th, Thursday, in person, we'll 1:12:34.780 --> 1:12:37.780 have Mike Mercer, our executive director, who is going to 1:12:37.820 --> 1:12:40.460 talk about why George Martin is called the fifth beetle. 1:12:40.910 --> 1:12:42.729 This should be a really great one to come in 1:12:42.770 --> 1:12:43.370 person to hear. 1:12:43.390 --> 1:12:44.729 There'll be a lot of music. 1:12:44.750 --> 1:12:49.860 There'll be a lot of pictures. And Mike is really 1:12:49.900 --> 1:12:51.740 just very knowledgeable about this. He's done a lot of 1:12:51.780 --> 1:12:55.960 research on this. He's been following George Martin and the 1:12:55.979 --> 1:12:58.700 Beatles for a long time. So this should be a 1:12:58.800 --> 1:13:00.500 great lecture. If you like music at all, if you 1:13:00.520 --> 1:13:02.720 like the Beatles at all, this will be good for you. 1:13:03.580 --> 1:13:05.720 I'm surprised Reginald isn't doing that one. Is he a 1:13:05.740 --> 1:13:06.439 huge Beatles guy? 1:13:08.220 --> 1:13:11.240 You know, that's how it got approved. 1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:15.040 I got it. I figured it. Dan's fingerprints had to 1:13:15.080 --> 1:13:17.040 be on that one. Good morning, Dan Reginald. 1:13:18.680 --> 1:13:20.689 But we're not sure if he's going to be in 1:13:20.729 --> 1:13:23.190 town any one particular day. He'll be coming in town 1:13:23.250 --> 1:13:24.430 soon after the election. 1:13:25.170 --> 1:13:25.969 I don't know how long. 1:13:26.370 --> 1:13:28.730 Okay. November 19th? 1:13:28.770 --> 1:13:32.330 I've got more coming November 19th. That's a really good one. 1:13:32.350 --> 1:13:35.900 That will be Captain Stephen Johnson will be speaking about 1:13:36.600 --> 1:13:40.360 remembering 9-11, a firsthand account from the Pentagon. He was 1:13:40.420 --> 1:13:43.440 working in the Pentagon on the day of 9-11. That 1:13:43.479 --> 1:13:46.270 plane came and almost hit his office, and he was 1:13:46.400 --> 1:13:51.590 in the D-ring. They have five rings of a building 1:13:51.630 --> 1:13:55.110 there at the Pentagon. So it's a great lecture. He 1:13:55.150 --> 1:13:59.470 has pictures from before and after and about our response. 1:14:00.570 --> 1:14:06.110 It's really very thrilling, I think, his speech. And you 1:14:06.130 --> 1:14:08.790 definitely got to hear it. It's moving. 1:14:08.810 --> 1:14:09.530 I'm sure it is. 1:14:09.610 --> 1:14:13.130 And not to forget, our first one is Mission Ready, 1:14:13.229 --> 1:14:15.800 Testosterone and Men's Health in the Military. 1:14:16.270 --> 1:14:16.680 Dr. 1:14:17.020 --> 1:14:21.300 Michael Addy, who works at your wellness center with Dr. 1:14:21.400 --> 1:14:25.420 William Lovett, has now been doing this kind of medicine 1:14:25.460 --> 1:14:26.840 for a long time. He's going to be talking about 1:14:27.180 --> 1:14:29.560 testosterone and the men's health in the military, because I 1:14:29.560 --> 1:14:30.580 don't know if you all heard this. 1:14:30.740 --> 1:14:32.240 Yeah, egg zest. 1:14:34.090 --> 1:14:37.350 Yeah, Pete Hexath is now testing the testosterone levels of 1:14:37.410 --> 1:14:40.630 our entire military to see if they need help there. 1:14:41.150 --> 1:14:46.580 So he is offering, it says that testosterone placement theory 1:14:46.620 --> 1:14:52.360 offers critical advantages for military personnel by directly counteracting operator syndrome, 1:14:52.979 --> 1:14:55.860 a cluster of chronic health issues caused by high stress deployments. 1:14:56.600 --> 1:15:01.420 severe sleep deprivation, intense blast exposures. So that's an interesting 1:15:01.460 --> 1:15:04.120 thing they're trying to do in the Department of War, 1:15:04.689 --> 1:15:06.070 and we're going to hear all about it from our 1:15:06.210 --> 1:15:07.570 own local expert, Dr. 1:15:07.610 --> 1:15:08.250 Michael Addy. 1:15:08.490 --> 1:15:11.510 Should be good. Probably boosts their libidos across the board. 1:15:11.530 --> 1:15:12.530 I don't know if that's a good thing or a 1:15:12.530 --> 1:15:16.429 bad thing in wartime. Anyway, Dr. J., and finally, Mike 1:15:16.450 --> 1:15:20.030 Wilson stepping up with some booze on December 3rd. Bourbon tasting. 1:15:20.350 --> 1:15:20.480 Yes. 1:15:21.500 --> 1:15:23.240 You may love to get Mike into your show today. 1:15:23.280 --> 1:15:25.680 You two can talk about bourbon a little bit. That'll 1:15:25.720 --> 1:15:28.840 be December 3rd in person, but not at the Scarlet 1:15:28.900 --> 1:15:30.080 Oak Theater. 1:15:30.140 --> 1:15:30.300 Nope. 1:15:30.580 --> 1:15:34.600 It will be at the Cincinnati Krav Maga Gym. That's 1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:37.300 on 1001 Alliance Road. That's in Blue Ash. It's very 1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:41.780 easy to get to. And we will be learning about bourbon. 1:15:41.820 --> 1:15:45.110 We will be watching about bourbon. We will be smelling bourbon. 1:15:45.390 --> 1:15:48.269 And I think we will definitely be tasting bourbon. 1:15:48.670 --> 1:15:50.610 I'm sure you will. And you're going to be at 1:15:50.650 --> 1:15:51.790 that one, aren't you, Jay? 1:15:52.550 --> 1:15:54.470 Oh, I will definitely be there. In fact, I've got 1:15:54.490 --> 1:15:58.320 to get my registration in. Only the first people who register, 1:15:58.640 --> 1:16:02.400 the first 50 people who register for the December 3rd 1:16:02.439 --> 1:16:04.940 Bourbon Tasting will be able to get in. So if 1:16:05.450 --> 1:16:08.090 all 50 sell out, maybe we can do something and 1:16:08.110 --> 1:16:11.080 get a couple more chairs there. but it should be fun. Uh, 1:16:11.120 --> 1:16:13.800 we thank so much, uh, the Cincinnati crowd McGough for 1:16:13.840 --> 1:16:16.300 hosting it because, you know, Scarlet Oaks just doesn't want 1:16:16.340 --> 1:16:18.320 us to have a bunch of bourbon bottles in their school. 1:16:18.400 --> 1:16:21.000 I can't understand why, but. All right. 1:16:21.280 --> 1:16:23.020 Well, maybe we'll learn some tips on how to beat 1:16:23.040 --> 1:16:24.540 the crap out of someone since we'll be at the 1:16:24.560 --> 1:16:28.500 Cincinnati crowd McGough facility. It's all there at empower you america.org. 1:16:28.540 --> 1:16:31.200 Let's make sure you register ahead of time, some fascinating classes. 1:16:31.270 --> 1:16:33.450 And thanks as always to Dan Regan, all the founder 1:16:33.490 --> 1:16:36.229 of empower you America, please participate and tell your friends 1:16:36.290 --> 1:16:38.729 about it.

I know at least two 1:16:58.189 --> 1:17:00.490 people are going to be there, you and Drew Pappas. 1:17:00.890 --> 1:17:03.490 Hopefully we'll be in a celebratory mood, but if not, 1:17:03.530 --> 1:17:06.180 got some company to, well, cry in our beers over. 1:17:06.310 --> 1:17:08.560 God bless you, Jay. 7.15 right now. Don't go away. 1:17:08.979 --> 1:17:11.380 We've got Patriot Jeff and Jennifer on the phone. You 1:17:11.400 --> 1:17:21.210 can call today. 719-55-KRC-D Talk Station, 513-749-5500, 800-823-5. Jeff, hold 1:17:21.250 --> 1:17:24.269 on a second. Joe Strecker said, hold, take Jennifer's call. 1:17:24.310 --> 1:17:26.510 She's at a polling place, got an update. Jennifer, thanks 1:17:26.550 --> 1:17:28.070 for calling this morning. Welcome to the morning show. 1:17:29.290 --> 1:17:29.870 Good morning. 1:17:29.890 --> 1:17:34.259 Yeah, go ahead. 1:17:34.660 --> 1:17:38.219 Green Township was as crowded as a presidential election. 1:17:38.810 --> 1:17:39.240 This morning. 1:17:39.620 --> 1:17:39.990 Wow. 1:17:40.890 --> 1:17:44.509 So big numbers at my polling place, which is not usual. 1:17:44.650 --> 1:17:46.229 And my daughter from Hancock County said. 1:17:46.110 --> 1:17:46.930 The same thing up there. 1:17:47.970 --> 1:17:49.689 Did you get a sense of whether those were red 1:17:49.750 --> 1:17:52.910 voters or blue voters, Jennifer? I did not. 1:17:52.950 --> 1:17:54.130 I was hoping to, but I did not. 1:17:54.229 --> 1:17:54.670 I know. 1:17:56.510 --> 1:17:58.950 You can't pick a side out of a crowd necessarily, 1:17:59.020 --> 1:18:01.820 can you? Although I would heavily bet on if it's 1:18:01.840 --> 1:18:05.120 a blue hair, I'm going with probably Democrat. But beyond that, 1:18:05.580 --> 1:18:08.640 There's no outward ability to recognize an R or a D, 1:18:08.680 --> 1:18:10.320 but I'm glad to hear that it was really crowded. 1:18:11.080 --> 1:18:13.740 Was it a smooth process? Did they at least get 1:18:13.760 --> 1:18:14.540 you through quickly? 1:18:15.880 --> 1:18:19.200 Yeah, they opened right on time. Big, long line. They 1:18:19.220 --> 1:18:20.020 were working pretty well. 1:18:20.439 --> 1:18:22.580 Good. And salute to the poll workers out there. God 1:18:22.600 --> 1:18:25.520 bless each and every one of you, regardless of political strike. Jennifer, 1:18:25.540 --> 1:18:29.560 thank you so much. Are you optimistic or are you pessimistic? 1:18:30.620 --> 1:18:32.150 Are you optimistic or pessimistic? 1:18:33.100 --> 1:18:35.650 I'm always optimistic. 1:18:35.689 --> 1:18:37.630 Listen, that's what I want to hear. I want to 1:18:37.670 --> 1:18:41.430 hear optimism. I'm so gloom and doomy. I'm surrounded by 1:18:41.530 --> 1:18:44.550 articles and polls that say this is a waste of time. No, 1:18:44.590 --> 1:18:48.030 it's not. Listen to Jennifer. She's positive. Everybody's showing up 1:18:48.070 --> 1:18:50.380 to the polls. We can stop this steal. if we 1:18:50.410 --> 1:18:52.300 want to call it that or just stop this so-called 1:18:52.310 --> 1:18:57.760 blue wave just by well exceeding our normal expectations of 1:18:57.860 --> 1:19:00.900 low voter turn up jeff welcome to the morning show 1:19:00.920 --> 1:19:02.200 thanks for holding my friend. 1:19:03.560 --> 1:19:07.800 Good morning, Brian. As always, you and Joe are true patriots, buddy. 1:19:08.120 --> 1:19:10.099 I sure appreciate hearing that, Jeff, as always. 1:19:11.320 --> 1:19:11.519 Yeah. 1:19:12.520 --> 1:19:15.780 I just wanted to remind everybody that– and it's not 1:19:15.820 --> 1:19:18.590 really hard to think about if you just put your 1:19:18.610 --> 1:19:25.050 mind to it. I mean, even if you're not thrilled 1:19:25.310 --> 1:19:31.979 with either person that's out there to vote for, I mean– 1:19:32.560 --> 1:19:37.920 People act like that high gas prices, for instance, is 1:19:37.939 --> 1:19:42.150 a bad thing. And granted, it is. But who's the 1:19:42.200 --> 1:19:47.870 party who has been promoting $ 6 and $ 9 gasoline for 1:19:47.890 --> 1:19:51.849 the last 20 or 30 years? I mean, they want 1:19:52.030 --> 1:19:55.229 high gas prices. They might point to it and say, 1:19:55.310 --> 1:19:58.809 orange man bad. But that's not the point. You guys 1:19:59.030 --> 1:20:03.840 always have gas prices. And then when you sit there 1:20:03.880 --> 1:20:11.920 and think about anything else on the overall thoughts for 1:20:11.960 --> 1:20:15.760 your family and your community, I mean, so far we've 1:20:15.800 --> 1:20:21.599 seen one party on the side of criminals. We've seen 1:20:21.820 --> 1:20:24.340 another party on the side of victims. I mean, I 1:20:25.420 --> 1:20:30.570 just can't even imagine how anyone could vote– democrat over 1:20:30.770 --> 1:20:34.360 what we've seen on the internet and with our. 1:20:34.350 --> 1:20:37.500 Own eyes yeah um men competing against women in sports 1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:41.059 genital mutilation uh depriving parents of the opportunity to know 1:20:41.100 --> 1:20:43.720 what gender their child thinks he or she is i 1:20:44.300 --> 1:20:46.420 mean the list is seemingly endless and to your point 1:20:46.439 --> 1:20:47.979 and i read that op-ed piece this morning or at 1:20:48.000 --> 1:20:50.979 least gleaned from it uh the increased oil and gas 1:20:51.020 --> 1:20:57.380 prices political opportunity for the Today's increased oil and gas 1:20:57.400 --> 1:21:01.480 prices fulfill Democrats' underlying climate change policy goals. Higher prices, 1:21:01.540 --> 1:21:04.700 reduced demand, using less fossil fuel, exactly what Democrats' climate 1:21:04.720 --> 1:21:09.200 change agenda wanted and sought until increased prices in order 1:21:09.220 --> 1:21:12.240 to their political advantage because people forget that the platform 1:21:12.270 --> 1:21:15.309 that they ran on for so long was back to Obama. 1:21:15.630 --> 1:21:18.150 The price of gasoline will necessarily increase. It was more 1:21:18.189 --> 1:21:20.780 expensive under Joe Biden than it is now. How come 1:21:20.820 --> 1:21:23.540 he wasn't held accountable? Maybe he was held accountable. He didn't. Well, 1:21:23.560 --> 1:21:25.280 he bowed out of the race. But of course, Kamala 1:21:25.320 --> 1:21:28.450 Harris being kind of like Amy Acton, not a viable candidate. 1:21:28.770 --> 1:21:32.030 But still, we've been through this before. They want higher 1:21:32.090 --> 1:21:35.370 gas prices. You're voting to have this go past the 1:21:35.470 --> 1:21:38.070 economic calamity that the war has brought us for a 1:21:38.130 --> 1:21:38.610 time being. 1:21:39.689 --> 1:21:44.540 Right. And what I think is extremely showing is when 1:21:44.860 --> 1:21:48.220 some of their own party are now turning on them, 1:21:48.479 --> 1:21:52.250 even if it will cost them their careers because they 1:21:52.290 --> 1:21:55.930 just can't put up with the socialism. I mean, some 1:21:55.950 --> 1:21:59.270 of the really major things that they're starting to dabble 1:21:59.390 --> 1:22:02.340 in is just like totally insane. 1:22:02.700 --> 1:22:03.120 And yet. 1:22:03.729 --> 1:22:06.610 You know, you don't you see a few of them 1:22:06.770 --> 1:22:08.929 just sit there and throw up their hands and say, 1:22:08.970 --> 1:22:11.790 you know, I don't really care if I destroy my 1:22:11.870 --> 1:22:15.190 political career. I can't stand with a socialist. 1:22:15.550 --> 1:22:19.870 A Muslim, anti-Semitic. I mean, yeah, that was Haley Stevens. 1:22:20.189 --> 1:22:22.830 That's they ostracized her. They chucked her out of the 1:22:23.189 --> 1:22:27.550 Michigan Democratic Party the other day because she endorsed Mike Rogers. Well, 1:22:27.570 --> 1:22:30.810 she's still a Democrat. They will not have anyone who dissents. 1:22:30.850 --> 1:22:33.030 If you don't want to be full-on anti-Semite, you don't 1:22:33.050 --> 1:22:36.019 want to be full-on socialist in the Democratic Party, they're 1:22:36.040 --> 1:22:36.820 going to eat you alive. 1:22:37.920 --> 1:22:38.360 Oh, I know. 1:22:38.740 --> 1:22:42.000 And it's just getting more violent with their rhetoric, and 1:22:43.090 --> 1:22:46.210 they just don't seem to even care when people are attacked, 1:22:46.270 --> 1:22:49.750 when people are, you know, incriminated. 1:22:49.770 --> 1:22:49.910 Shot? 1:22:51.000 --> 1:22:54.809 Yeah. I mean, it's just, I mean, and police are 1:22:54.850 --> 1:22:59.490 attacked and they won't even come out and, or, you know, 1:23:00.590 --> 1:23:03.400 it's just, it's just getting to be madness. And, and, 1:23:03.560 --> 1:23:06.099 and I'll tell them, I'll finish with one more thing 1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:09.100 that you and I've talked about before. Guys, when you 1:23:09.140 --> 1:23:13.939 go into that booth or, well, whatever it's called nowadays, but, um, 1:23:14.990 --> 1:23:17.950 That's just between you and the piece of paper. OK, 1:23:18.070 --> 1:23:20.650 you can tell your friends all day long. I would 1:23:20.750 --> 1:23:23.520 never vote for Orange Man or I'd never vote for 1:23:23.530 --> 1:23:26.979 a Republican or I'd never vote for a conservative. But, 1:23:27.020 --> 1:23:30.620 you know, just do what you know to be right. 1:23:31.140 --> 1:23:33.760 And then you can still be you know, you can 1:23:33.800 --> 1:23:36.510 still hang out with the purple hairs and the. and 1:23:36.590 --> 1:23:39.990 the people that want to spend all our money and 1:23:40.530 --> 1:23:44.900 don't want us to stop their corruption and everything else. 1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:48.340 But you can still vote for what's going to actually 1:23:48.460 --> 1:23:51.720 help you and your family and your community get a 1:23:51.880 --> 1:23:55.120 handle on all this craziness that is just tearing us 1:23:55.180 --> 1:23:55.740 all apart. 1:23:58.320 --> 1:23:59.200 I mean, I. 1:24:01.140 --> 1:24:06.030 Understand Vivek's never been a politician, but then again, That's 1:24:06.050 --> 1:24:08.990 really what we need, guys. I mean, we really are 1:24:09.030 --> 1:24:12.670 done with these people that have been in office for 1:24:12.670 --> 1:24:14.849 20 or 30 or 40 years, and they haven't done 1:24:14.900 --> 1:24:17.960 a damn thing for anybody. 1:24:18.100 --> 1:24:20.960 Well, and I just really have to observe. Amy Acton's 1:24:20.979 --> 1:24:23.700 not a politician either. She even says, I'm a doctor. Well, 1:24:23.800 --> 1:24:26.719 sort of, kind of. But you also were an incompetent 1:24:26.800 --> 1:24:29.570 representative in terms of being the medical director. You sucked 1:24:29.650 --> 1:24:32.710 at the job. Meaning what you did for the state 1:24:32.729 --> 1:24:35.889 of Ohio was damaging, and now you're running on that record? 1:24:36.590 --> 1:24:38.950 Lord Almighty. Jeff, I don't know what else to say, brother. 1:24:38.990 --> 1:24:41.219 I do appreciate your call, man. I really do. Don't 1:24:41.229 --> 1:24:43.259 go away. We've got more to talk about with Tom Zawistowski, 1:24:43.270 --> 1:24:45.500 We The People Convention, and more calls coming up, plus 1:24:45.520 --> 1:24:47.520 the Inside Scoop and the Daniel Davis Deep Dive in 1:24:47.540 --> 1:24:50.620 the 8 o'clock hour. Stick around for all that, please. 1:24:51.080 --> 1:24:56.570 And get in touch with USA Insulation. 731-55-KRC-D Talk Station. 1:24:56.650 --> 1:24:59.310 Happy Election Day. Get out and vote. Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, 1:24:59.330 --> 1:25:01.070 the polls are open, waiting for you to show up 1:25:01.110 --> 1:25:03.139 and get in line with everybody else. If Jennifer's right, 1:25:03.220 --> 1:25:05.320 big turnout going on right now. It could be different 1:25:05.340 --> 1:25:07.799 in your area, but you got to, well, a liberty 1:25:07.860 --> 1:25:11.120 requires citizens who are informed and engaged. That says it 1:25:11.160 --> 1:25:14.970 right there, wethepeopleconvention.org. That's from Tom Zawistowski. Tom, isn't that right? 1:25:15.490 --> 1:25:16.490 informed and engaged. 1:25:16.590 --> 1:25:20.410 Absolutely. Absolutely right. And boy, I'm so excited to be 1:25:20.490 --> 1:25:22.590 with you today on what I think is going to 1:25:22.610 --> 1:25:25.910 be one of the greatest days in American history. I'm 1:25:25.950 --> 1:25:28.160 so glad to be alive and to be able to 1:25:28.220 --> 1:25:31.260 participate and to see what I think is going to 1:25:31.320 --> 1:25:35.370 be an army. of people, of my fellow citizens who 1:25:35.410 --> 1:25:41.480 voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, 2024, marching to the 1:25:41.560 --> 1:25:45.200 polls to vote for every Republican on the ballot, not 1:25:45.260 --> 1:25:48.080 because we love Republicans, but because we love our country 1:25:48.540 --> 1:25:52.860 and we want to continue the Make America Great agenda 1:25:53.160 --> 1:25:56.320 we started. And the way to do that is to 1:25:56.340 --> 1:25:59.320 turn out and vote. And I'm so excited about what's 1:25:59.350 --> 1:26:00.059 going to happen today. 1:26:00.320 --> 1:26:02.200 Yeah, I'm not the only one to observe this and 1:26:02.260 --> 1:26:04.000 point it out. I think the same thing happened when 1:26:04.040 --> 1:26:08.210 Trump got elected again. It was overwhelming numbers have a 1:26:08.290 --> 1:26:12.390 way of defeating any illegal, untoward activity out there in 1:26:12.430 --> 1:26:15.589 terms of voting. If you have illegal immigrants voting, for example, 1:26:16.189 --> 1:26:18.410 there's only a finite number of those. There are a 1:26:18.870 --> 1:26:22.640 greater number of registered conservatives and independents out there that 1:26:22.680 --> 1:26:26.390 can defeat the wave potentially fraudulent voting. I mean, so 1:26:26.410 --> 1:26:28.770 the extent you believe it's going on, and I've listed 1:26:28.830 --> 1:26:32.840 a whole bunch of different holes in the election process 1:26:32.850 --> 1:26:35.360 and all these blue states that could be easily fixed, 1:26:35.400 --> 1:26:38.220 they just don't want to fix them, which suggests they 1:26:38.360 --> 1:26:43.200 welcome these illegal votes. We can defeat that by sheer numbers, Tom. 1:26:43.240 --> 1:26:44.820 Is that not correct or am I wrong? 1:26:45.930 --> 1:26:49.190 Yeah, you are absolutely correct. And I want everyone listening 1:26:49.270 --> 1:26:52.820 to realize this is a very different situation than we 1:26:52.840 --> 1:26:55.300 have been in for the last 25 years. For the 1:26:55.340 --> 1:26:58.360 last 25 years, we've kind of been in the minority 1:26:58.420 --> 1:27:01.780 trying to convince our fellow citizens, trying to, you know, 1:27:01.820 --> 1:27:05.550 just kind of push forward a Make America Great agenda. 1:27:05.810 --> 1:27:09.689 But that's not the case today. Today, we are in charge. 1:27:10.070 --> 1:27:13.320 If we show up and vote, it's over. It's not 1:27:13.360 --> 1:27:17.300 even close. And so why wouldn't you do that? After 1:27:17.420 --> 1:27:19.439 all that we've done to get to this point, after 1:27:19.479 --> 1:27:23.589 you see, despite the gas prices, the economy is booming. 1:27:23.950 --> 1:27:27.530 Things are definitely better. And you vote today to keep 1:27:27.570 --> 1:27:30.890 going forward and not to go back. I just think 1:27:30.930 --> 1:27:33.990 people have gotten that message. Thanks to you. Thanks to 1:27:34.010 --> 1:27:36.930 so many others. And they're going to do it. And 1:27:36.970 --> 1:27:39.690 you just got a report saying they're busy. I've just 1:27:39.710 --> 1:27:43.230 gotten three texts since we started talking saying it's busy 1:27:43.260 --> 1:27:46.080 at my polling location. That's what we want to hear. 1:27:46.880 --> 1:27:49.000 It is indeed. And, you know, I just keep going 1:27:49.040 --> 1:27:53.970 back to issues like simple public safety. embracing and supporting 1:27:54.189 --> 1:27:58.130 law enforcement. I don't understand how this bears a political stripe, Tom. 1:27:58.170 --> 1:28:01.650 I understand among certain areas of the electorate that they 1:28:01.689 --> 1:28:04.980 think police are inherently evil or bad, but every single 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:09.180 neighborhood has some measure of crime, and every single neighborhood 1:28:09.200 --> 1:28:15.270 that has a significant crime, high crime, would probably welcome 1:28:15.390 --> 1:28:19.030 an additional police force and embrace police because they're there 1:28:19.050 --> 1:28:22.060 to get the bad guys out. I mean, the Democrats 1:28:22.080 --> 1:28:24.040 are the party of defund the police. I mean, they're 1:28:24.060 --> 1:28:27.900 the ones that are behind this entire effort. Rethink, reimagine. 1:28:30.180 --> 1:28:32.969 If I'm a Democrat living in a high-crime Democrat, predominantly 1:28:33.010 --> 1:28:36.290 Democrat neighborhood, I'm still going to want law enforcement. Isn't 1:28:36.330 --> 1:28:37.590 that just common sense, Tom? 1:28:38.670 --> 1:28:41.169 Well, there you go. It's common sense. sense versus crazy. 1:28:41.370 --> 1:28:46.009 That's a great mantra. And again, under Donald Trump, Crime 1:28:46.050 --> 1:28:50.010 rates are the lowest ever in American history. So why 1:28:50.030 --> 1:28:52.870 wouldn't you want more of that? And I think people 1:28:52.950 --> 1:28:54.870 do want more of that. I think that's what they 1:28:54.930 --> 1:28:57.889 are going to vote for. They're not interested in this 1:28:58.210 --> 1:29:03.059 college theory nonsense about how we're just too hard on 1:29:03.140 --> 1:29:06.740 criminals and we need to let them out and give 1:29:06.780 --> 1:29:10.429 them 15 chances instead of two chances. We aren't buying that. 1:29:10.750 --> 1:29:14.340 Common sense Americans understand that, you know, we've got to 1:29:14.380 --> 1:29:18.320 have law and order. We've got to have a pro-business economy. 1:29:18.700 --> 1:29:21.460 We've got to stop the invasion. I mean, not only 1:29:21.479 --> 1:29:24.130 are they about to fund the police, but they've gone further. 1:29:24.350 --> 1:29:25.550 Now they want to defund ICE. 1:29:25.870 --> 1:29:26.150 Right? 1:29:26.189 --> 1:29:29.110 Yeah. So let's defund all law enforcement. And then DSA 1:29:29.150 --> 1:29:33.110 wants to defund the Pentagon. So let's have no ability 1:29:33.130 --> 1:29:36.120 to enforce anything anywhere. And, oh, yeah, how's that going 1:29:36.140 --> 1:29:38.800 to work out? It's going to work out like Somalia. 1:29:38.979 --> 1:29:41.620 That's what it's going to work out like. We ain't Somalia. 1:29:41.760 --> 1:29:44.560 We're not France. We're the United States. And today the 1:29:44.600 --> 1:29:45.900 American people are going to prove that. 1:29:46.280 --> 1:29:49.519 WeThePeopleConvention.org. We'll talk with Tom Zalastowski coming to the next segment. 1:29:49.550 --> 1:29:51.309 Pause for a moment while I remind you that you 1:29:51.350 --> 1:29:53.750 need to think about your safety. Listen, I don't know 1:29:53.770 --> 1:29:59.900 who doesn't. See the talk stations. 740-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Yeah, well, 1:29:59.960 --> 1:30:03.420 European Union burns and destroys itself under the weight of 1:30:03.479 --> 1:30:06.480 its socialist policies, all brought to you by the DSA 1:30:06.520 --> 1:30:09.240 here in America. They want the same thing they have there. Clearly, 1:30:09.340 --> 1:30:12.240 it's not affordable. There's no question about it. And that's 1:30:12.270 --> 1:30:14.969 the party of Medicare for All. They're pushing Medicare for 1:30:15.050 --> 1:30:17.030 All on the Democrat side, Tom. One of many issues 1:30:17.050 --> 1:30:20.930 that they own, open borders, gender fluidity, men playing against 1:30:20.990 --> 1:30:24.970 women in sports, defunding the police. Uh, antisemitism seem has 1:30:25.010 --> 1:30:27.090 taken a big hold in the democratic party too. Hopefully 1:30:27.130 --> 1:30:30.250 this will, uh, well on the future basis going forward, 1:30:30.910 --> 1:30:33.729 get my Jewish friends who always have voted Democrat to 1:30:33.770 --> 1:30:35.760 maybe come over to the logical side of the equation, 1:30:35.810 --> 1:30:38.760 vote Republican. That may very well happen, but Medicare for 1:30:38.800 --> 1:30:41.700 all time, you know, you can say in a factual vacuum, well, sure. 1:30:41.760 --> 1:30:44.660 It's great. Everybody's going to have medical coverage. It hasn't 1:30:44.700 --> 1:30:46.639 worked in all the countries that have tried it. Trying 1:30:46.660 --> 1:30:49.240 to get an appointment and see a physician is virtually 1:30:49.260 --> 1:30:52.349 impossible because very little incentive for physicians to enter into 1:30:52.360 --> 1:30:55.309 the practice of medicine under that system. And bottom line, 1:30:55.330 --> 1:31:00.450 the bottom line, Tom, it's trillions, 40 plus trillion over 1:31:00.450 --> 1:31:04.170 10 years. It's the size of our entire national debt 1:31:04.610 --> 1:31:07.290 that you like it and think it sounds good. You 1:31:07.310 --> 1:31:12.080 got to understand, speaking about citizens who are informed, you 1:31:12.100 --> 1:31:14.380 need to be informed that it's an impossible achievement given 1:31:14.420 --> 1:31:17.000 the cost. We are so far in debt, we're going 1:31:17.020 --> 1:31:19.450 to end up tanking the fiat currency Tom and maybe 1:31:19.470 --> 1:31:20.809 that's what they want I don't know. 1:31:22.260 --> 1:31:25.099 Well, they do. I mean, listen, their goal, they state 1:31:25.140 --> 1:31:27.980 it on their website. Their goal is the destruction of 1:31:28.020 --> 1:31:30.010 the United States. Their goal is to get rid of 1:31:30.020 --> 1:31:33.410 the Constitution, the Supreme Court, get rid of the Senate. 1:31:33.630 --> 1:31:36.350 They want to destroy our country. And for Barack Obama 1:31:36.390 --> 1:31:40.090 to come to Ohio and talk about Medicare for all, 1:31:40.330 --> 1:31:44.440 what's wrong with that? Why couldn't somebody support that? Because 1:31:44.500 --> 1:31:48.439 you gave us Obamacare that nearly bankrupted us. Look at 1:31:48.500 --> 1:31:50.600 what that's done. Look at all the fraud that we've 1:31:50.640 --> 1:31:55.140 seen in that. So listen, it's real simple, folks. It's 1:31:55.240 --> 1:31:58.530 not about these individual issues. Like I heard Drew talking 1:31:58.590 --> 1:32:00.650 earlier on the show with you about, you know, you 1:32:00.689 --> 1:32:03.570 have a problem with this candidate or that candidate. It's 1:32:03.729 --> 1:32:07.610 way bigger than that. It's about an ideology. It's about, 1:32:07.830 --> 1:32:11.530 do you believe in individual liberty, freedom, and prosperity and 1:32:11.590 --> 1:32:15.710 moving forward? Or do you believe in state control like 1:32:15.750 --> 1:32:18.050 they have in Europe and in France? And you can 1:32:18.170 --> 1:32:22.570 see what's happening there. Don't be fooled. And so, you know, today, 1:32:22.590 --> 1:32:25.670 speaking of don't be fooled, there's a couple things going 1:32:25.750 --> 1:32:28.090 on I want to remind people about. First of all, 1:32:28.110 --> 1:32:30.309 a lot of people you and I know are out 1:32:30.390 --> 1:32:33.130 working right now at the polls and and listening to 1:32:33.150 --> 1:32:35.990 this radio show, and many are giving out slate cards 1:32:36.070 --> 1:32:38.020 and things. I want to give you a tip. If 1:32:38.060 --> 1:32:40.680 you're out there at the polls, don't just give them 1:32:40.720 --> 1:32:44.139 a slate card going in. When people come out, say, hey, 1:32:44.240 --> 1:32:47.120 thanks for voting. Make sure you call your family and 1:32:47.180 --> 1:32:50.020 friends and make sure they vote today as well. That's 1:32:50.060 --> 1:32:52.080 a great way to get a double hit there when 1:32:52.100 --> 1:32:55.520 you're at the polls. For our senior citizen friends, You know, 1:32:55.640 --> 1:32:57.560 a lot of our friends, a lot of people in 1:32:57.600 --> 1:33:01.860 my area of age are using walkers and canes. It's 1:33:01.880 --> 1:33:04.210 a little hard to get around. And you kind of say, boy, 1:33:04.620 --> 1:33:06.480 I'd like to vote, but I don't think I can. 1:33:06.920 --> 1:33:10.840 We forget. We have a thing called curbside service. You 1:33:10.880 --> 1:33:14.420 can pull up to your polling location, have whoever's driving 1:33:14.479 --> 1:33:17.050 you go in and say, can you come out and 1:33:17.090 --> 1:33:20.510 let my mother or my brother or my father vote curbside? 1:33:20.750 --> 1:33:22.350 And they will bring out a ballot to you and 1:33:22.410 --> 1:33:25.309 you can vote. Don't let it deter you. You've got 1:33:25.330 --> 1:33:28.650 to show up. And then you and I talked a lot, Brian, 1:33:28.990 --> 1:33:32.050 about the disgruntled Republicans, the people who said, I'm not 1:33:32.090 --> 1:33:33.870 going to vote this election. I'm going to teach the 1:33:33.910 --> 1:33:39.250 Republicans a lesson this election. Well, there's a Democrat dirty 1:33:39.390 --> 1:33:43.390 trick that's being played on you. Don't fall for it. 1:33:43.910 --> 1:33:47.290 I got a beautiful flyer in the mail for this 1:33:47.530 --> 1:33:51.480 Bill Redpath, the libertarian candidate running for Senate, right? And 1:33:51.490 --> 1:33:55.179 then I got text messages yesterday. And I'm thinking, where's 1:33:55.220 --> 1:33:58.320 this guy getting his money? So I start to do 1:33:58.360 --> 1:34:02.180 some research. Oh, where's he getting his money? Well, there's 1:34:02.220 --> 1:34:07.160 this group called the Buckeye Pack, that Buckeye Freedom Pack 1:34:07.580 --> 1:34:11.420 that didn't exist until like two weeks ago and had 1:34:11.500 --> 1:34:16.200 raised no money up till October 16th. But now they 1:34:16.260 --> 1:34:23.960 spent $ 1. 9 million promoting Redpath and going against Houston. Now, 1:34:24.000 --> 1:34:26.689 that tells me two things. One, if you are a 1:34:26.700 --> 1:34:30.809 disgruntled Republican, they're targeting you, and you need to understand 1:34:30.830 --> 1:34:33.730 a vote for Redpath, who may have some good things 1:34:33.770 --> 1:34:36.130 that you like and all that, is a vote for 1:34:36.750 --> 1:34:38.950 Sherrod Brown. It's a vote for the Democrat. 1:34:39.080 --> 1:34:39.300 It is. 1:34:39.340 --> 1:34:43.040 Number two, what you need to understand... is that these 1:34:43.140 --> 1:34:46.990 people are connected to the thing that's going on in Alaska. 1:34:47.290 --> 1:34:51.809 This Buckeye Freedom Pack has a treasurer who's tied together 1:34:52.130 --> 1:34:57.150 with this Alaska pack, the Alaska Right, or a pack 1:34:57.170 --> 1:35:00.580 called Right for Alaska Pack, and they're doing the same 1:35:00.620 --> 1:35:04.740 thing with this fake candidate in Alaska. That's happening here 1:35:04.760 --> 1:35:08.860 in Ohio. Here's the key. They wouldn't be doing it, Brian, 1:35:09.570 --> 1:35:13.180 They wouldn't spend $ 2 million unless they thought Houston was 1:35:13.280 --> 1:35:16.639 beating Brown head-to-head, and they had to get a couple 1:35:16.680 --> 1:35:19.800 of people a few points to vote for the Libertarian 1:35:19.820 --> 1:35:22.950 in order to win. That's a tell. Don't fall for it. 1:35:23.189 --> 1:35:25.870 Don't vote for Redpath. Vote straight Republican. 1:35:25.990 --> 1:35:28.350 Yeah, just shameless in their tactics, Tom. And I know 1:35:28.370 --> 1:35:30.940 the Republicans' hands aren't clean across the board, but that 1:35:30.979 --> 1:35:34.840 Alaska thing is just awful. It's quite revealing about the 1:35:34.900 --> 1:35:37.040 depth to which the Democrats will sink in order to 1:35:37.360 --> 1:35:39.519 win an election. They can't play fair. They can't argue 1:35:39.560 --> 1:35:41.420 on the issue. So they've got to cheat. Going back 1:35:41.460 --> 1:35:43.380 to the whole idea that there are voter rolls that 1:35:43.400 --> 1:35:45.900 haven't been cleaned up in Democrat states, that there are 1:35:46.360 --> 1:35:49.210 huge opportunities for folks to cheat in the election, you know, 1:35:49.250 --> 1:35:52.630 just personally attesting, yeah, I'm an American citizen. I am 1:35:52.650 --> 1:35:54.010 who I say I am, and that's just enough to 1:35:54.050 --> 1:35:55.790 get you in to vote. I mean, all of these 1:35:55.830 --> 1:36:00.620 things really are nefarious because they allow, well, They allow 1:36:00.640 --> 1:36:02.420 the cheating to go on, and they endorse it. They 1:36:02.439 --> 1:36:04.320 embrace it. I always go back to my time in Chicago. 1:36:04.340 --> 1:36:08.040 The Democrats acknowledged openly that they were, well, cheaters. They 1:36:08.060 --> 1:36:10.230 were engaging corruption all the time, but because it was 1:36:10.250 --> 1:36:12.570 their corruption, they don't seem to care. That's exactly what's 1:36:12.610 --> 1:36:14.310 going on in front of our very eyes. Yeah, we're 1:36:14.330 --> 1:36:15.769 doing it. Screw you guys. 1:36:17.080 --> 1:36:20.240 Well, and that's what's different this year, though. Everybody's got 1:36:20.260 --> 1:36:23.730 to spread the story about Donald Trump offering a million-dollar 1:36:23.770 --> 1:36:27.310 reward for tips that lead to convictions for election frauds. 1:36:27.630 --> 1:36:30.750 That's awesome, because you don't think there's some of these 1:36:30.850 --> 1:36:34.250 squirrely people who've been doing this for years and have 1:36:34.350 --> 1:36:37.210 not gotten cut in on the gravy once the election's 1:36:37.330 --> 1:36:40.510 over who might not turn in? Some of these Democrats 1:36:40.550 --> 1:36:42.990 have been cheating? I can't wait to see how that 1:36:43.030 --> 1:36:46.280 turns out. Everyone should spread that story because I want 1:36:46.400 --> 1:36:49.740 lots of tips coming in. So yeah, they're going to cheat. 1:36:49.920 --> 1:36:52.660 That tells you something. Two things I think it tells you. 1:36:52.900 --> 1:36:56.200 Number one, they have no policies that anybody believes in. 1:36:56.530 --> 1:36:59.210 If they had policies that people cared about, they could 1:36:59.310 --> 1:37:02.790 run straight up elections and they can't. Number two, it 1:37:02.850 --> 1:37:05.980 tells you that they don't really exist as a party. 1:37:06.540 --> 1:37:09.979 They shouldn't have 50% of the Senate. They shouldn't have 50% 1:37:09.979 --> 1:37:13.599 of the House. They don't have the following. So the 1:37:13.700 --> 1:37:16.730 only way they got it, Brian, is they cheated. That's 1:37:16.790 --> 1:37:20.270 why this is the day. Today is the day that 1:37:20.370 --> 1:37:24.130 we win the war. that we destroy the democratic party. 1:37:24.390 --> 1:37:26.230 The boats you're going to see at the end of 1:37:26.290 --> 1:37:29.950 today are going to be stunning because the cheating will 1:37:29.979 --> 1:37:33.140 be driven down and our turnout will be high. And 1:37:33.160 --> 1:37:36.240 you're going to finally see they don't, they never had 1:37:36.280 --> 1:37:39.179 the support they claim to have. They've been a fraud 1:37:39.360 --> 1:37:39.880 all along. 1:37:40.260 --> 1:37:43.160 Tom Zawistowski, will you do me a huge favor tomorrow? 1:37:43.320 --> 1:37:45.469 If you're right, would you call me up and say, 1:37:45.590 --> 1:37:46.389 I told you so. 1:37:47.729 --> 1:37:50.910 I will indeed. I will indeed. And I'm telling you, 1:37:51.010 --> 1:37:53.769 I believe in the American people. I know these people. 1:37:54.120 --> 1:37:56.620 They're out working. I can't believe how hard our people 1:37:56.640 --> 1:37:59.200 are working. They're making phone calls. They're knocking on doors. 1:37:59.240 --> 1:38:02.479 You have AFP on. They're working their butts off. Tea 1:38:02.520 --> 1:38:06.000 Party Patriots has made over one and a half million 1:38:06.060 --> 1:38:10.259 text messages. The NRA is killing it. We're working hard. 1:38:10.620 --> 1:38:14.560 We're the majority. We just need to show up. Everyone listening, 1:38:14.970 --> 1:38:18.630 today's your day. Go out and win the game. It's 1:38:18.750 --> 1:38:20.090 right there. Just go vote. 1:38:20.530 --> 1:38:24.689 Yeah. Think about it. If you don't, Governor Amy Acton. 1:38:26.370 --> 1:38:26.689 I know. 1:38:28.350 --> 1:38:32.939 Can't be. Can't have it. If you don't, it's open borders. 1:38:33.460 --> 1:38:36.300 It's the government telling you you have to use words 1:38:36.320 --> 1:38:40.100 that you don't want to use. You're getting no promotions 1:38:40.160 --> 1:38:43.820 or raises unless you're the right gender or whatever they decide. 1:38:44.300 --> 1:38:47.200 It's the end of America as you know it. This 1:38:47.300 --> 1:38:50.300 is not some small thing. They'll be a little different 1:38:50.320 --> 1:38:55.080 than the Republicans. It couldn't be more different. They want 1:38:55.180 --> 1:39:00.150 us to be communists. They're not just socialists. They're communists. 1:39:00.590 --> 1:39:04.349 We want to be free. Today is when you defend 1:39:04.390 --> 1:39:08.150 your freedom and liberty. Today, it is all you got 1:39:08.170 --> 1:39:10.830 to do is go vote and get everyone you know 1:39:10.890 --> 1:39:13.810 to do the same. We can do it. We will 1:39:13.870 --> 1:39:16.630 do it. I'm confident. We're going to have a great 1:39:16.689 --> 1:39:17.189 day today. 1:39:17.590 --> 1:39:21.750 I appreciate your optimism more than you can imagine. Tom Zawistowski, wethepeopleconvention.org. 1:39:21.790 --> 1:39:24.010 Check it out. Regularly check in on the website. He's 1:39:24.030 --> 1:39:27.140 going to be around long after tomorrow, today. Regardless of 1:39:27.180 --> 1:39:29.429 how it works out, keeping up the great work. Tom, 1:39:29.470 --> 1:39:31.269 thank you for the hard fight you've been fighting, and 1:39:31.310 --> 1:39:33.250 keep up the great work, my friend. I hope to 1:39:33.290 --> 1:39:34.349 hear from you tomorrow. 1:39:35.270 --> 1:39:36.910 I will call you, I promise. 1:39:37.229 --> 1:39:39.390 God bless you, sir. Coming up at 7.50, 55KRC, The 1:39:39.630 --> 1:39:46.839 Talk Station. 805 at 55KRC, The Talk Station. It's Tuesday, 1:39:46.860 --> 1:39:49.610 of course. It's Election Day. Get out and vote. If 1:39:49.630 --> 1:39:51.490 you heard that message yet this morning on the 55 1:39:51.490 --> 1:39:53.510 KRC Morning Show, it's the time of week. We always 1:39:53.530 --> 1:39:56.179 get the inside scoop from Breitbart News. Bookmark the site. 1:39:56.189 --> 1:40:00.019 You'll do yourself a favor with that. B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T dot com. 1:40:00.040 --> 1:40:02.180 Breitbart dot com. Joining us for the first time and 1:40:02.200 --> 1:40:06.040 hopefully not the last, Breitbart News political reporter Olivia Rondo. Olivia, 1:40:06.120 --> 1:40:07.590 it is a pleasure to have you on the 55 1:40:07.590 --> 1:40:08.690 KRC Morning Show. Welcome. 1:40:09.729 --> 1:40:10.250 Hey, good morning. 1:40:10.270 --> 1:40:11.930 Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it. 1:40:12.729 --> 1:40:15.510 I will admit, and you're more than welcome, I will admit, 1:40:15.689 --> 1:40:18.410 and I've got a lot of optimistic listeners. I've got 1:40:18.430 --> 1:40:20.610 a lot of optimistic people. The reports are coming in 1:40:20.630 --> 1:40:26.139 from our local polling places. Really strong turnout so far 1:40:26.189 --> 1:40:28.040 this morning. A lot of people are coming out to vote. 1:40:28.620 --> 1:40:31.160 Record early voting here in the state of Ohio, but 1:40:31.439 --> 1:40:35.240 I am surrounded by and inundated with messaging all over 1:40:35.280 --> 1:40:37.900 the place, not necessarily from Breitbart, but gloom and doom 1:40:37.920 --> 1:40:40.780 for Republicans. Blue wave coming your way. I see Democratic 1:40:40.860 --> 1:40:44.720 Socialists winning primaries and actually in polls ahead of what 1:40:44.820 --> 1:40:48.349 I would argue are saner candidates. And I turn to 1:40:48.360 --> 1:40:52.290 the state of Ohio where, to my dismay and absolute disbelief, 1:40:52.330 --> 1:40:55.930 if you've been following the Ramaswamy-Acton race here for the 1:40:55.990 --> 1:40:58.309 governor of the state of Ohio, she's been polling ahead 1:40:58.350 --> 1:41:01.880 of Vivek Ramaswamy since the beginning. And I'm sorry, a 1:41:01.960 --> 1:41:05.950 demonstrably incompetent woman failed in her only job, which was 1:41:05.990 --> 1:41:08.750 the medical director of the state of Ohio, quit amid 1:41:08.770 --> 1:41:12.350 some serious controversy, hasn't kept jobs for very long. And then, 1:41:12.390 --> 1:41:14.730 of course, we have this swirling controversy with ad campaigns. 1:41:14.750 --> 1:41:20.120 But Ramaswamy is a successful businessman who wants to benefit 1:41:20.180 --> 1:41:22.240 the state of Ohio, and I don't understand it. What's 1:41:22.280 --> 1:41:24.400 your take on that particular race? Do you think you've 1:41:24.420 --> 1:41:25.300 been following it, Olivia? 1:41:25.320 --> 1:41:25.400 Yeah. 1:41:26.810 --> 1:41:29.260 Yeah, thanks for asking me. It is really hard to 1:41:29.340 --> 1:41:32.519 see at this point why the polls are scaring people 1:41:32.600 --> 1:41:36.030 so much. And I do understand to have a knee-jerk 1:41:36.050 --> 1:41:39.020 reaction to seeing Vivek fall behind in the polling, but 1:41:39.040 --> 1:41:41.500 I wouldn't pay attention to that as a voter in 1:41:41.580 --> 1:41:44.040 Ohio if I was one. I would pay attention to 1:41:44.160 --> 1:41:48.099 getting my fellow Republicans to turn out because the numbers show. 1:41:48.160 --> 1:41:50.540 It's just a numbers game. If Republicans turn out in 1:41:50.560 --> 1:41:52.960 the numbers that they have in Ohio, then Vivek will win. 1:41:53.310 --> 1:41:55.110 If they don't, then he will lose. So I would 1:41:55.150 --> 1:41:58.930 say ignore the polls, stay hopeful, stay in line, stay voting. 1:41:59.330 --> 1:42:02.510 But there are enough Republicans in the state of Ohio 1:42:02.640 --> 1:42:04.680 to win. So it really simply is a numbers game. 1:42:05.229 --> 1:42:07.070 And I'm not one of these people that's not going 1:42:07.090 --> 1:42:12.350 to acknowledge Vivek's ad that he admittedly spent $ 4 million 1:42:12.479 --> 1:42:16.639 to place in an ad spend that was really not 1:42:16.700 --> 1:42:20.300 well received by Democrats and by the general public that 1:42:20.360 --> 1:42:24.179 featured Amy Acton's mother. But Amy Acton has way different 1:42:24.360 --> 1:42:27.320 worse skeletons in her closet than trotting out her mother 1:42:27.680 --> 1:42:30.229 that really should be focused on. She and her husband 1:42:30.270 --> 1:42:31.870 got in a fight so bad a few years ago 1:42:31.910 --> 1:42:33.710 that the police were called to her house and she 1:42:33.729 --> 1:42:35.470 was saying that they were drunk and she didn't know 1:42:35.510 --> 1:42:37.910 how much prescription medication she was on and she broke 1:42:37.970 --> 1:42:40.930 a mirror and shattered the glass. It's just like, this 1:42:40.990 --> 1:42:43.970 person doesn't seem like she's level-headed. We also need to 1:42:43.990 --> 1:42:47.200 remember why she jumped from job to job to job 1:42:47.220 --> 1:42:50.540 to job. I mean, we could talk about her terrible 1:42:50.620 --> 1:42:53.000 record as Ohio's health director, but we should also point 1:42:53.040 --> 1:42:54.700 out that she was in that job for less than 1:42:54.700 --> 1:42:57.520 16 months, not even a year and a half. it 1:42:57.560 --> 1:43:01.380 was so controversial, her lockdown policies, that people were protesting 1:43:01.460 --> 1:43:04.000 outside of her house. I think that we should not 1:43:04.080 --> 1:43:07.300 have such a short memory on this and think, maybe 1:43:07.320 --> 1:43:10.160 we should not have a COVID extremist for a governor, 1:43:10.320 --> 1:43:12.160 even if I didn't like that advertisement. 1:43:12.390 --> 1:43:12.610 True. 1:43:12.750 --> 1:43:15.110 And she wasn't even qualified to make the determinations that 1:43:15.170 --> 1:43:17.150 she made. She wasn't a virologist. She didn't do any 1:43:17.210 --> 1:43:20.490 research papers or study virology or how diseases are transmitted. 1:43:21.090 --> 1:43:23.229 It's laughable. And the other thing that I have been 1:43:23.650 --> 1:43:26.090 banging the drum on since day one on this whole 1:43:26.130 --> 1:43:28.750 affordability thing. Yeah, the price of gas is up, not 1:43:28.790 --> 1:43:30.990 as much as under Biden, but why was it up 1:43:31.070 --> 1:43:33.450 under Biden? And what do the Democrats promise? They promised 1:43:33.570 --> 1:43:36.850 increase in the price of gasoline by way of legislation 1:43:36.950 --> 1:43:40.799 and policy, not because economic forces interfered with it. This 1:43:40.880 --> 1:43:43.880 is the gift that they wanted and campaigned on. Higher 1:43:43.920 --> 1:43:47.860 price gas means less use, means less carbon dioxide, plant 1:43:47.880 --> 1:43:51.019 food in the environment. Whatever nonsense they're pursuing, this is 1:43:51.060 --> 1:43:54.610 what they will deliver on. I mean, they've already done it. 1:43:56.770 --> 1:43:57.470 Exactly. 1:43:57.590 --> 1:44:00.950 And she's a climate extremist. Vivek takes it the completely 1:44:01.450 --> 1:44:04.330 opposite direction. You know, in Ohio, does she really think 1:44:04.350 --> 1:44:06.309 she can get away with being a climate extremist when 1:44:06.590 --> 1:44:10.260 Ramaswamy wants to open up and deregulate natural gas, wants 1:44:10.270 --> 1:44:13.620 to deregulate fracking, wants to create jobs for, for Ohioans, 1:44:13.920 --> 1:44:17.040 which will ultimately, I think lower the price of gasoline. 1:44:17.380 --> 1:44:19.340 I mean, this is just kind of two plus two 1:44:19.400 --> 1:44:22.850 equals four. But the Democrats have rallied all the support 1:44:22.890 --> 1:44:25.589 around acting. I mean, she clearly is a strong candidate 1:44:25.610 --> 1:44:28.650 for them, but I just don't think it is well earned. 1:44:28.670 --> 1:44:30.720 And I think if you look at her extremist COVID 1:44:30.820 --> 1:44:37.679 and climate policies, if she... decides to continue that train 1:44:37.700 --> 1:44:40.500 of thought from 2020, I think it'll be really negative 1:44:40.520 --> 1:44:42.500 for Ohio. And I think she is proving that she 1:44:42.540 --> 1:44:45.900 will continue her COVID extremism if another thing like that arises, 1:44:45.920 --> 1:44:49.729 because she has defended her actions and saying, well, I 1:44:49.780 --> 1:44:52.470 shut down the county fairs because it was going to 1:44:52.490 --> 1:44:55.250 kill people. And if she said that with the hindsight, 1:44:55.270 --> 1:44:57.090 she said that on the campaign trail, she said that 1:44:57.110 --> 1:45:00.550 with the hindsight that COVID is endemic, that people will 1:45:00.590 --> 1:45:03.550 get it, that people will transmit it even with vaccinations 1:45:03.590 --> 1:45:07.139 and boosters. So she's still justifying people are all going 1:45:07.150 --> 1:45:09.100 to die if we open up the county fair, if 1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:11.560 we open up the public schools because of COVID, even 1:45:11.600 --> 1:45:18.280 though it's an endemic viral flu-like disease. And so- For 1:45:18.320 --> 1:45:20.580 her to continue defending herself on that when she knew 1:45:20.880 --> 1:45:23.480 she had protesters outside of her house, that basically forced 1:45:23.520 --> 1:45:25.380 her out of office because she was such an extremist. 1:45:25.620 --> 1:45:27.360 Just such a terrible look, but it's such a gift 1:45:27.400 --> 1:45:29.389 to the Republicans for her to admit that she feels 1:45:29.410 --> 1:45:30.330 like she did nothing wrong. 1:45:30.530 --> 1:45:32.490 Well, and another gift to the Republicans in this race, 1:45:32.570 --> 1:45:36.309 instead of everybody paying attention, her appearance in Toledo, stumbling around, 1:45:36.350 --> 1:45:40.189 appearing not necessarily drunk, but coming across as if she's drunk. 1:45:40.550 --> 1:45:42.760 And with the background that you just reminded my listening 1:45:42.810 --> 1:45:45.840 audience about, she has had some run-ins involving liquor in 1:45:45.860 --> 1:45:48.420 the past and police. You look at her and you think, okay, 1:45:48.560 --> 1:45:50.900 Joe Rogan even commented on this. It made national news, 1:45:50.939 --> 1:45:54.340 this pathetic opening. She's stumbling around. And he said, listen, 1:45:54.360 --> 1:45:55.969 I've been around drunk people my whole life. I think 1:45:56.010 --> 1:45:57.910 his dad owned a bar or something. I know what 1:45:57.930 --> 1:46:01.070 they're like. And you can't look at her behavior and 1:46:01.130 --> 1:46:04.770 not at least think maybe she was impaired. But he 1:46:04.810 --> 1:46:08.450 pointed out it's almost worse if she wasn't because that's 1:46:08.490 --> 1:46:11.110 the way she comes across and delivers herself. This is 1:46:11.130 --> 1:46:13.450 going to be the figurehead for the state of Ohio 1:46:13.590 --> 1:46:17.090 on really a global stage since governors of Ohio have 1:46:17.250 --> 1:46:19.969 brought in businesses from the four corners of the globe. 1:46:20.010 --> 1:46:22.229 It's one of the jobs they do. She's going to 1:46:22.250 --> 1:46:24.060 be the figurehead for the state of Ohio with that. 1:46:24.140 --> 1:46:26.080 If she's not drunk and she comes across like that, 1:46:26.479 --> 1:46:28.439 pick your choice. Both of them are disastrous. 1:46:29.840 --> 1:46:32.580 Great point. And to me, it's a little reminiscent of 1:46:33.260 --> 1:46:34.770 Kamala Harris's. 1:46:34.320 --> 1:46:36.590 Campaign where she was, I mean, I. 1:46:36.570 --> 1:46:38.910 Can't say she was drunk because I didn't breathalyze her, 1:46:38.970 --> 1:46:41.650 but was she stumbling? Was she slurring her words? Was 1:46:41.689 --> 1:46:44.689 she cackling on stage? I mean, it's almost exactly to 1:46:44.750 --> 1:46:46.500 a T what Amy Atkins is doing. And I love 1:46:46.520 --> 1:46:48.680 your point that if she was not drunk, that's almost 1:46:48.780 --> 1:46:51.479 even worse because that's your natural state. You're just aloof 1:46:51.560 --> 1:46:52.019 all the time. 1:46:52.040 --> 1:46:54.940 Yeah, it's scary. That one really worries me more than anything. 1:46:55.340 --> 1:46:58.090 The other component of the national races, and I think 1:46:58.110 --> 1:47:03.780 this Abdul El-Sayed Haley Stevens story, fight that broke out. 1:47:04.120 --> 1:47:06.560 She was originally endorsing him. Then he told her to 1:47:06.600 --> 1:47:09.229 stay the hell away from his campaign. She then went 1:47:09.290 --> 1:47:13.110 on to endorse the Republican. And now she's basically been 1:47:13.229 --> 1:47:15.990 ostracized from her own party. They've kicked her flat out. 1:47:16.530 --> 1:47:19.050 That means the Democrat Party, at least in so far 1:47:19.090 --> 1:47:22.559 as Michigan and this particular Senate seat is concerned, is 1:47:22.689 --> 1:47:25.339 a party of, and here I'm saying it, anti-Semitism. 1:47:28.680 --> 1:47:33.160 And then President Trump did an expert move and invited Ms. 1:47:33.200 --> 1:47:36.590 Stevens into the GOP. And so I think this proves 1:47:36.660 --> 1:47:38.630 once again that the Republicans are the party of the 1:47:38.670 --> 1:47:43.650 big tent and Democrats are really quickly, I think more 1:47:43.770 --> 1:47:47.290 quickly than a lot of politicians and politicos have predicted, 1:47:47.330 --> 1:47:49.990 but they are being completely taken over by the Democratic 1:47:50.030 --> 1:47:52.960 Socialists of America. Even if you don't want to say 1:47:52.979 --> 1:47:55.420 they're Democratic Socialists, that's just what like the organization is called, 1:47:55.460 --> 1:48:00.790 but DSA, Socialist Communism, and you know, Abdul El-Sayed, he 1:48:00.810 --> 1:48:02.950 can deny being an anti-Semite and being a bigot and 1:48:02.990 --> 1:48:04.890 not being an extremist and all that all he wants, 1:48:04.950 --> 1:48:07.530 but his own half-sister said that their family has ties 1:48:07.570 --> 1:48:09.780 to the Muslim Brotherhood, and we all know who they 1:48:09.840 --> 1:48:12.540 fund and what their connections are to. So for Haley 1:48:12.560 --> 1:48:16.019 Stevens to withdraw her endorsement and to give it to 1:48:16.040 --> 1:48:19.010 Mike Rogers instead, knowing that they don't agree on many 1:48:19.030 --> 1:48:23.840 of the issues... I think it shows maturity, bravery. And 1:48:23.860 --> 1:48:26.839 I'm not saying she necessarily has to join the Republican Party, 1:48:26.939 --> 1:48:28.980 but it was a very smart decision for Trump to 1:48:29.050 --> 1:48:31.710 invite her to because, I mean, we've seen this happen 1:48:32.110 --> 1:48:35.990 With Tulsi Gabbard, we've seen this happen with RFK, where 1:48:36.130 --> 1:48:39.229 these moderate Democrats and independents who have a lot in 1:48:39.290 --> 1:48:42.330 common with other moderate liberals are forced out of their 1:48:42.470 --> 1:48:46.230 party and find a home within the Republican Party because 1:48:46.310 --> 1:48:48.250 it is a big tent and they were forced out 1:48:48.310 --> 1:48:49.230 by DSA people. 1:48:49.770 --> 1:48:52.410 Another one that grabbed everybody's attention is the shenanigans going 1:48:52.450 --> 1:48:55.339 on in Alaska. I mean, illustrating how shameless the Democrats 1:48:55.420 --> 1:48:58.720 are in their efforts to, I would say, steal the seat. 1:48:59.290 --> 1:49:00.670 They go out into the world and find another guy 1:49:00.689 --> 1:49:03.250 named Dan Sullivan who had no interest in running, and 1:49:03.270 --> 1:49:05.469 the only reason he said he agreed to run, according 1:49:05.550 --> 1:49:11.299 to their own campaign people, they got him to run. 1:49:11.340 --> 1:49:13.580 They changed the initial on it. The whole point of 1:49:13.620 --> 1:49:16.340 this was to dupe Republican voters into voting for someone 1:49:16.360 --> 1:49:19.180 they're not intending to vote for. Whatever happens to this, 1:49:19.280 --> 1:49:22.260 legally speaking, it really is, I have to argue, a 1:49:22.320 --> 1:49:24.840 very awful look. Not that Republicans' hands over the years 1:49:24.880 --> 1:49:28.820 are necessarily completely clean, but this is This is outright shameless, Olivia. 1:49:28.840 --> 1:49:30.370 Do you think anybody's going to learn a lesson from 1:49:30.410 --> 1:49:31.370 this little exercise? 1:49:33.700 --> 1:49:36.140 I'm sitting here laughing. For the listeners who can't see me, 1:49:36.180 --> 1:49:38.650 I'm sitting here laughing because this is probably the funniest 1:49:38.700 --> 1:49:42.470 story of the midterm election season. We have Mary Paltola's campaign, 1:49:42.950 --> 1:49:44.750 and in the New York Times, it's all revealed that 1:49:44.810 --> 1:49:47.370 a staffer was given a task to compile a list 1:49:47.410 --> 1:49:49.970 of every single person named Dan Sullivan in the state 1:49:49.990 --> 1:49:53.490 of Alaska. This is not a random outside firm. 1:49:53.229 --> 1:49:53.729 That did this. 1:49:53.770 --> 1:49:57.519 This was internally within the Mary Paltola campaign, and she 1:49:57.560 --> 1:49:59.920 has denied having any knowledge of it, but it is 1:50:00.000 --> 1:50:03.380 just so fake, and so many people... gave testimony to 1:50:03.400 --> 1:50:05.860 the New York Times, former staffers on her campaign, and 1:50:06.860 --> 1:50:08.950 proved it to the opposite, proved that she did have. 1:50:08.830 --> 1:50:09.450 Knowledge of it. 1:50:11.070 --> 1:50:15.060 For Dan, this teacher, Dan Sullivan, I believe I'm going 1:50:15.110 --> 1:50:17.640 to call him the decoy Dan. Decoy Dan is a 1:50:17.660 --> 1:50:21.979 retired school teacher who lives in Petersburg, Alaska, which is 1:50:22.340 --> 1:50:26.580 only accessible by sea or by plane. This guy had 1:50:26.660 --> 1:50:29.849 no intentions of campaigning in Anchorage. This guy had no 1:50:29.900 --> 1:50:32.390 intentions of campaigning across Alaska. He has not produced one 1:50:32.410 --> 1:50:35.309 piece of literature, not one campaign signed, not held one 1:50:35.350 --> 1:50:38.770 campaign event. Nobody in this town takes him seriously. And 1:50:38.790 --> 1:50:41.599 so for him to try to act like, oh, I'm 1:50:41.650 --> 1:50:44.380 just here running for Senate. I'm just here running. 1:50:44.520 --> 1:50:45.100 I'm just here running. 1:50:45.160 --> 1:50:49.979 It's so illegal. And it's such a slimy dirtball move. 1:50:50.120 --> 1:50:53.570 And for Mary Peltola to not admit that she did this, 1:50:53.610 --> 1:50:56.290 that her campaign authorized this and went out of their 1:50:56.350 --> 1:50:59.380 way to find him and to you know, hoist him 1:50:59.500 --> 1:51:03.810 from irrelevancy into the spotlight that he clearly cannot handle 1:51:03.850 --> 1:51:05.870 because he has nothing to say for himself. And it's 1:51:05.910 --> 1:51:08.210 just dirty and slimy. And if Alaskans want that type 1:51:08.250 --> 1:51:11.200 of person in office, then go for it. But I mean... 1:51:12.110 --> 1:51:15.100 The real Dan Sullivan actually called this out in an 1:51:15.160 --> 1:51:18.460 exclusive interview with Breitbart News back in like June or 1:51:18.479 --> 1:51:21.240 something that really never got picked up by the mainstream media. 1:51:21.260 --> 1:51:24.660 But he told our editor in chief, Alex Marlowe, hey, 1:51:25.080 --> 1:51:28.219 this person named Dan Sullivan is a decoy. 1:51:28.620 --> 1:51:31.250 I don't know who's behind this, but we need to 1:51:31.290 --> 1:51:34.170 sound the alarm on this. And then he was completely 1:51:34.310 --> 1:51:37.050 vindicated last week when the New York Times posted this 1:51:37.130 --> 1:51:39.990 article saying, hey, actually, it was your opponent that did this. 1:51:40.070 --> 1:51:40.630 Actually, it was her. 1:51:41.120 --> 1:51:44.280 And her inside staff was talking, of all things, the 1:51:44.320 --> 1:51:47.550 New York Times, not exactly a bastion of right-wing reporting, 1:51:48.550 --> 1:51:52.050 that she knew about it and that a lot of 1:51:52.070 --> 1:51:54.620 people within the campaign knew about it and they encouraged it. 1:51:54.670 --> 1:51:58.530 So that's completely contrary to what the campaign is saying. 1:51:58.590 --> 1:52:01.280 So they might find themselves in a bit of hot 1:52:01.340 --> 1:52:04.160 water for lying to the feds. At least I've been 1:52:04.200 --> 1:52:04.939 led to believe that. 1:52:08.320 --> 1:52:10.900 I hope they do. I mean, we've seen this last 1:52:10.960 --> 1:52:14.280 couple of years of lawfare against anything Madden related, anything 1:52:14.320 --> 1:52:19.309 Republican related, anything Trump related. But hopefully, hopefully, hopefully this 1:52:19.350 --> 1:52:21.630 gets through. I mean, the DOJ has already kind of 1:52:21.650 --> 1:52:25.290 been stifled a little bit by a federal judge because 1:52:25.330 --> 1:52:28.580 they were trying, you know, the Department of Justice is saying, well, hey, 1:52:28.900 --> 1:52:31.979 we cannot certify these election results. if the real Dan 1:52:32.000 --> 1:52:35.300 Sullivan loses because of this decoys, Dan, and then, you know, 1:52:35.320 --> 1:52:37.740 the federal judge said, well, no, I mean, people should 1:52:37.760 --> 1:52:39.340 be able to decide who to vote for the real 1:52:39.380 --> 1:52:41.580 Dan Sullivan and the decoy Dan Sullivan. I mean, it's 1:52:41.600 --> 1:52:46.170 just ridiculous. We obviously have anti-Republican based lawfare in this country, 1:52:46.210 --> 1:52:50.170 but hopefully, hopefully, hopefully the voters of Alaska have seen 1:52:50.189 --> 1:52:53.130 the truth and don't want to vote for a candidate 1:52:53.150 --> 1:52:55.760 like Mary Peltola, who would go so far as to 1:52:55.820 --> 1:53:00.639 recruit a random retired school teacher from a rural, remote 1:53:00.700 --> 1:53:03.090 Alaska to pretend to run a campaign. 1:53:03.390 --> 1:53:06.549 Well, this has been elevated so far to everybody's attention. 1:53:06.590 --> 1:53:09.010 I can't imagine any Alaskan not being aware of it. 1:53:09.050 --> 1:53:10.469 And to the extent it's going to have an influence 1:53:10.510 --> 1:53:13.250 on the election, if there was a Republican in Alaska 1:53:13.270 --> 1:53:15.370 that wasn't inclined to go to the polls, they'd probably 1:53:15.410 --> 1:53:18.090 go just because of what the Democrats tried to pull. 1:53:20.290 --> 1:53:23.220 Absolutely. I mean, this just leaves such a sour taste 1:53:23.280 --> 1:53:26.679 in my mouth. I'm from the D.C., Maryland area. Something 1:53:26.700 --> 1:53:29.900 like this happened here. it would motivate me like there's 1:53:29.920 --> 1:53:32.269 a fire in my pants to go vote for the 1:53:32.450 --> 1:53:38.360 opposite person. So even a Democrat in Alaska, a good, 1:53:38.380 --> 1:53:40.720 you know, plenty of good people are Democrats. They should 1:53:40.820 --> 1:53:44.630 see that this is a slime ball who has, you know, 1:53:44.689 --> 1:53:48.350 bad campaign practices. And the crazy part to me, the 1:53:48.390 --> 1:53:50.250 funniest part about the New York times article is like 1:53:50.290 --> 1:53:52.170 the way that they were going around trying to recruit 1:53:52.189 --> 1:53:54.050 all these Dan Sullivan's was taking them out to the 1:53:54.090 --> 1:53:56.910 bar and drinking with them at the bar. So it's like, 1:53:57.050 --> 1:53:59.740 this is like so slimy and so weird. You're trying 1:53:59.760 --> 1:54:03.160 to get these guys drunk so they can agree to 1:54:03.320 --> 1:54:05.720 run for office. And then this, this went all the 1:54:05.740 --> 1:54:07.280 way up to the chain. You know, this was approved 1:54:07.340 --> 1:54:09.960 by her campaign campaign, lawyers and attorneys and all of 1:54:09.979 --> 1:54:11.740 that stuff. And so for her to sit here and 1:54:11.780 --> 1:54:13.450 act like she didn't know about it when it was 1:54:13.810 --> 1:54:17.790 literally an exploratory committee within her own campaign that compiled 1:54:17.810 --> 1:54:19.729 this list of all the decoy dance in the state 1:54:19.770 --> 1:54:22.350 and got somebody to run because they got beers. It 1:54:22.430 --> 1:54:25.670 is just so far out of the realm of normalcy 1:54:25.810 --> 1:54:30.120 for an election that I hope Democrats reconsider voting for her. 1:54:30.160 --> 1:54:32.840 Maybe just sit it out, but there's no way Democrats 1:54:32.880 --> 1:54:36.120 should ever support her if they're, if they actually care 1:54:36.140 --> 1:54:37.700 about honesty and election integrity. 1:54:38.180 --> 1:54:41.140 Breitbart News political reporter Olivia Rondo. We're at Fort Weapart 1:54:41.180 --> 1:54:44.160 Company today. What do you sense? A red wave, a 1:54:44.220 --> 1:54:46.600 blue wave, kind of a mixed bag. If you had 1:54:46.620 --> 1:54:48.200 to guess, and I'm not going to hold you to it, 1:54:48.240 --> 1:54:49.660 it is a guess. What do you think, Olivia? 1:54:51.660 --> 1:54:55.500 For sure. I think that there's no reason that Republicans 1:54:55.540 --> 1:55:00.200 should lose Republican-leaning or Republican-stronghold districts. So I'm not going 1:55:00.220 --> 1:55:02.340 to fearmonger about that. But what I will say is 1:55:02.380 --> 1:55:05.540 that states like Ohio have it will depend on a 1:55:05.640 --> 1:55:08.380 high Republican turnout. Like every Republican has to go out 1:55:08.700 --> 1:55:10.760 and vote to win those. I'm not going to sit 1:55:10.800 --> 1:55:12.480 here and say it's not going to be super close 1:55:12.540 --> 1:55:14.180 or that the polls show that the vet is winning 1:55:14.200 --> 1:55:16.020 because the polls don't show that. But don't pay attention 1:55:16.040 --> 1:55:18.080 to the polls. Pay attention to getting your neighbor out 1:55:18.100 --> 1:55:20.950 to vote because it's possible if the Republican voter turnout 1:55:20.990 --> 1:55:21.630 is what it should be. 1:55:21.650 --> 1:55:25.010 Olivia Rondeau from Breitbart, Breitbart.com. Bookmark it. You'll be glad 1:55:25.030 --> 1:55:27.310 you did. We'll talk again someday soon. I hope, Olivia, 1:55:27.410 --> 1:55:29.150 keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow. And thanks for your 1:55:29.170 --> 1:55:30.870 time with my listeners and me today. I appreciate it. 1:55:33.200 --> 1:55:35.210 Thank you so much. I appreciate it so much. 1:55:35.630 --> 1:55:41.330 Have a great day. 821-55-KRC-TheTalkStation. It's 829-55-KRC-TheTalkStation. I always look 1:55:41.350 --> 1:55:42.630 forward to this time of week. It's time for the 1:55:42.670 --> 1:55:45.990 alliterative of Daniel Davis Deep Dive, which podcast you can 1:55:46.010 --> 1:55:48.310 find wherever you find your podcasts. Daniel Davis Deep Dive, 1:55:48.350 --> 1:55:51.450 retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, giving us his assessment of 1:55:51.490 --> 1:55:53.690 things military. Welcome back, my friend. It is always a 1:55:53.720 --> 1:55:55.700 real pleasure having you on the 55-KRC Morning Show. 1:55:56.700 --> 1:55:58.320 Always a delight to be here, Brian. 1:55:58.380 --> 1:56:00.630 Good to see you. Okay, and we just dropped a 1:56:00.650 --> 1:56:02.430 bomb or two on Keshem Island. I want to get 1:56:02.470 --> 1:56:04.030 to that in a minute, talk about what's going on 1:56:04.060 --> 1:56:06.460 with the Iranian situation. I just want to bounce something 1:56:06.520 --> 1:56:11.700 off your head because a very, shall we say, someone 1:56:11.720 --> 1:56:14.060 who doesn't pay very close attention to politics, a dear, 1:56:14.160 --> 1:56:16.960 beloved friend of mine, called the other day, wanted to 1:56:16.980 --> 1:56:20.550 know about this concern that's spreading around the globe. We had, 1:56:20.630 --> 1:56:25.820 of course, America's military coalition. kicking off this new program 1:56:25.860 --> 1:56:28.530 to ensure that they can maintain the military bases for 1:56:28.530 --> 1:56:31.110 90 days completely off the grid. So they generate their 1:56:31.130 --> 1:56:33.110 own power. They got all enough to keep them on 1:56:33.130 --> 1:56:35.230 the base going for 90 days. You had the UK 1:56:35.250 --> 1:56:37.570 come out with this thousand day plan telling the United 1:56:37.630 --> 1:56:41.490 Kingdom citizens to start preparing, you know, lay in some supplies, blah, blah, blah. 1:56:41.810 --> 1:56:43.710 Our own government's been telling this for years, at least 1:56:43.770 --> 1:56:46.110 three days worth of food and provisions to keep you 1:56:46.250 --> 1:56:49.330 even in a, in a no grid situation. Um, did, 1:56:50.150 --> 1:56:52.490 Is there something specific that's going on out in the world? 1:56:52.510 --> 1:56:54.670 Because Glenn Beck put all these dots together, and I 1:56:54.690 --> 1:56:56.530 had done it a couple days prior to him with 1:56:56.790 --> 1:57:00.780 the U.K. and our military decision. But the idea of 1:57:00.840 --> 1:57:03.600 preparing and telling, and there's other European Union countries doing 1:57:03.620 --> 1:57:06.840 the same thing. Is there a specific threat they're concerned about, 1:57:06.920 --> 1:57:09.140 or is this just generally, well, the grid could easily 1:57:09.180 --> 1:57:12.080 get shut down by some nefarious actor. That's going to 1:57:12.100 --> 1:57:15.460 be a problem. We've got Iran, them saying that, you know, 1:57:16.400 --> 1:57:19.560 Katie barred the door. Nothing's barred. Anything that's American interest 1:57:19.600 --> 1:57:22.400 can be targeted. Are we worried about Iranians domestically? Do 1:57:22.660 --> 1:57:24.630 you have any response to that, Dan? Do you have 1:57:24.650 --> 1:57:27.970 any inside information about what the concern is? Or is 1:57:28.010 --> 1:57:31.570 this just a legitimate coincidence that these warnings came out? 1:57:32.890 --> 1:57:35.290 Well, I don't know how much of a coincidence it is. 1:57:35.390 --> 1:57:38.070 I think that a good portion of this, my assessment 1:57:38.250 --> 1:57:40.750 is that this is the social media effect and that 1:57:40.850 --> 1:57:43.650 when somebody starts something one place, they start reporting it. 1:57:43.680 --> 1:57:45.820 And then you have the Glenn Becks putting together dots 1:57:45.860 --> 1:57:47.700 or at least claiming to. And all of a sudden 1:57:47.760 --> 1:57:50.100 now everybody's, oh my God. And then now everybody's going, 1:57:50.120 --> 1:57:52.980 I've been inundated with phone calls from all kinds of 1:57:53.020 --> 1:57:55.780 friends asking this exact same question. I think that a 1:57:55.820 --> 1:57:58.480 good bit of this started When you look at the timing, 1:57:58.760 --> 1:58:00.700 when the announcement came that the U.S. said, hey, we 1:58:00.720 --> 1:58:03.430 want to have a 90-day self-sufficiency for all of our 1:58:03.750 --> 1:58:07.050 domestic military bases, and there's hundreds of these things, by 1:58:07.090 --> 1:58:11.200 the way, and people said oh, something's coming. Something's about 1:58:11.220 --> 1:58:13.000 to happen. I know that they're supposed to go to 1:58:13.300 --> 1:58:16.380 fight in maybe Iran after the midterms. We better get ready. Well, 1:58:16.400 --> 1:58:19.800 the thing is, it will take between five and seven 1:58:19.900 --> 1:58:23.560 years to bring just the top 100 U.S. bases into 1:58:23.600 --> 1:58:27.020 conformity with that standard. So nothing's going to happen anytime soon. 1:58:27.830 --> 1:58:30.650 And then you had the U.K. actually months ago, not 1:58:31.070 --> 1:58:34.170 even coordinated with this, but months before that, it's been 1:58:34.210 --> 1:58:35.750 telling them, oh, you've got to stock up. And I 1:58:35.770 --> 1:58:38.510 think that's part of the European attempt to try to 1:58:38.590 --> 1:58:40.810 scare their population and to think, oh, my God, we're 1:58:40.830 --> 1:58:43.530 going to have war, not with Iran, but with Russia. 1:58:43.770 --> 1:58:45.380 They're coming to get us, and so you have to 1:58:45.420 --> 1:58:47.420 get ready or whatever. And then I think this thing 1:58:47.440 --> 1:58:52.080 starts feeding on itself. If anything happens, three days of 1:58:52.520 --> 1:58:55.000 food and water or whatever is going to do absolutely nothing– 1:58:55.250 --> 1:58:57.670 And God help us if it's actually the elite trying 1:58:57.730 --> 1:59:00.840 to scare us all into saying, hey, something is coming, 1:59:00.860 --> 1:59:02.780 so you might as well get ready. But I just 1:59:02.820 --> 1:59:04.800 don't see it so far. I don't see any evidence 1:59:04.820 --> 1:59:05.839 that there's. 1:59:05.660 --> 1:59:06.820 A threat to the U.S. 1:59:06.880 --> 1:59:09.000 Homeland. Because right now, I'll tell you, when I first 1:59:09.060 --> 1:59:11.730 heard that comment about the U.S., I'm like, there's only 1:59:11.810 --> 1:59:15.210 two countries on this planet that can threaten our domestic bases, 1:59:15.270 --> 1:59:18.050 and that is missile strikes from Russia or from China. 1:59:18.370 --> 1:59:20.890 That's the only countries that have the capacity to do that. 1:59:21.210 --> 1:59:23.690 So right now, I think that Well, you can never 1:59:24.590 --> 1:59:27.030 eliminate the possibility of a terrorist strike or even a 1:59:27.090 --> 1:59:29.590 cyber attack or something like that anywhere in the United 1:59:29.610 --> 1:59:32.750 States at any time. In terms of getting the military ready, 1:59:33.070 --> 1:59:37.080 that's only for either an external strike against one of 1:59:37.120 --> 1:59:40.200 those two countries or somebody thinks maybe something's going to 1:59:40.220 --> 1:59:42.180 happen inside here. And I want to make sure our 1:59:42.220 --> 1:59:45.080 bases are protected if there's any kind of civil strife 1:59:45.340 --> 1:59:49.060 to keep the military bases up and operational. But that again, 1:59:49.100 --> 1:59:51.970 that's five to seven years down the road. And about 1:59:51.970 --> 1:59:56.330 150 billion dollars minimum necessary to facilitate and fund all 1:59:56.370 --> 1:59:57.610 that and all that kind of stuff so i don't 1:59:57.630 --> 1:59:59.610 think anything near term from what i can. 1:59:59.490 --> 2:00:02.330 See okay i i that's why i knew you provide 2:00:02.370 --> 2:00:04.510 a thoughtful analysis on this and this is not me 2:00:04.600 --> 2:00:08.020 saying you shouldn't have some food and water laid in 2:00:08.080 --> 2:00:10.600 to be prepared because it hits the fan we had 2:00:10.640 --> 2:00:12.660 a windstorm come through here's a remnant of the hurricane 2:00:13.060 --> 2:00:14.860 power was up for a lot of neighborhoods for 10 2:00:14.860 --> 2:00:17.020 days or more okay so that's something you might want 2:00:17.040 --> 2:00:19.680 to be prepared for so under all circumstances it's a 2:00:19.680 --> 2:00:22.730 good idea but The timing, again, and of course, you're right. 2:00:22.790 --> 2:00:25.870 The Internet is alive and well and will push anything 2:00:26.470 --> 2:00:28.430 as a theory to get people concerned and ginned up. 2:00:28.810 --> 2:00:32.150 So cooler heads hopefully will prevail. And what of, since 2:00:32.170 --> 2:00:34.150 you mentioned the European Union, maybe trying to gin up 2:00:34.210 --> 2:00:36.770 its citizens over concern Russia is going to invade. Going 2:00:36.790 --> 2:00:39.070 back to this, we've talked time and time again about this. 2:00:40.850 --> 2:00:44.830 What could Russia possibly accomplish? And I just keep looking 2:00:44.890 --> 2:00:46.910 at something I've said to you a multitude of times. 2:00:47.400 --> 2:00:50.440 Five years into this invasion of Ukraine and we're kind 2:00:50.510 --> 2:00:53.030 of like just in a tit-for-tat kind of bombing thing. 2:00:53.070 --> 2:00:56.010 I know Ukraine is struggling mightily, but if Russia can't 2:00:56.050 --> 2:00:58.630 accomplish the goal of taking over Ukraine and it's taken 2:00:58.650 --> 2:01:00.630 them four or five years to even make the inroads 2:01:00.650 --> 2:01:02.570 that they've made, how in God's name can they attack 2:01:02.610 --> 2:01:03.940 the entire European Union? 2:01:03.940 --> 2:01:08.610 100% right. That is so important. And the Russians have 2:01:08.630 --> 2:01:11.830 been very clear and overt. They have largely done what 2:01:11.890 --> 2:01:13.990 they have said, and they have gone after what they 2:01:14.030 --> 2:01:16.130 claimed was important to them, and they have not gone 2:01:16.170 --> 2:01:18.350 after things that they don't want. They don't even want 2:01:18.390 --> 2:01:21.620 the western part of Ukraine, because they realized that to 2:01:21.700 --> 2:01:24.820 conquer the western part of Ukraine militarily, even if they could, 2:01:25.340 --> 2:01:28.600 would be setting themselves up for an extended period of 2:01:28.720 --> 2:01:32.910 years of insurgency kind of thing, etc., They have no 2:01:33.110 --> 2:01:36.420 need for that. And you can just times 10 the 2:01:36.480 --> 2:01:39.360 idea of going into another country, into NATO. Not only 2:01:39.400 --> 2:01:45.230 would they then draw all 32 NATO countries into a 2:01:45.310 --> 2:01:47.950 war with them, then they would put everybody on the 2:01:48.010 --> 2:01:51.990 target list. They don't want it. What benefit would they have? 2:01:52.070 --> 2:01:55.710 Russia already has the most natural resources on the continent. 2:01:55.730 --> 2:01:58.470 They've got everything that they need for their security. They 2:01:58.530 --> 2:02:01.450 want border security. They don't want to expand their border. 2:02:01.760 --> 2:02:03.820 It would literally be a drain and a drag on 2:02:03.840 --> 2:02:06.580 their country that they have no interest in doing. And 2:02:06.660 --> 2:02:09.580 as you pointed out, the capacity on the ground, in 2:02:09.760 --> 2:02:13.920 five years almost, they still haven't taken all of Donbass itself, 2:02:14.260 --> 2:02:16.400 much less anything else. They've moved a bunch of other 2:02:16.420 --> 2:02:19.480 stuff and they've caused profound amounts of damage throughout the 2:02:19.540 --> 2:02:21.600 country of Ukraine, all the way to the western border 2:02:21.620 --> 2:02:24.400 in the air, but that's in order to facilitate a 2:02:24.460 --> 2:02:27.400 collapse of the Ukraine army so that they can win 2:02:27.440 --> 2:02:29.690 the Donbass part that they want. Everything is focused on 2:02:29.750 --> 2:02:32.030 what they're telling you they're going after, and they're going 2:02:32.150 --> 2:02:34.670 after it. But this idea that they're coming for Europe 2:02:35.490 --> 2:02:37.510 is absurd. Now, the only risk there, and there is 2:02:37.570 --> 2:02:40.850 a risk, is that you have the likes of Britain 2:02:41.230 --> 2:02:44.670 or France or Germany, especially those three in particular, keep 2:02:44.810 --> 2:02:48.200 on helping Ukraine strike deep and add the United States 2:02:48.240 --> 2:02:51.620 into that, because we've done it here recently with intelligence. striking, 2:02:51.660 --> 2:02:54.680 hitting targets of pain in Russia, and there could come 2:02:54.720 --> 2:02:56.980 a point to where Russia says, okay, you guys are 2:02:57.020 --> 2:02:59.380 basically directly involved in this, and I'm now going to 2:02:59.420 --> 2:03:02.700 strike the facilities where you're facilitating these kinds of strikes. 2:03:02.820 --> 2:03:05.500 That is possible, and that's a legitimate fear, but that 2:03:05.540 --> 2:03:09.040 would only become because we press beyond limits and we 2:03:09.080 --> 2:03:11.900 go somewhere that, by the way, has no value or 2:03:11.940 --> 2:03:14.690 benefit to us. We don't benefit from any of these strikes. 2:03:14.900 --> 2:03:17.650 It's not going to save Ukraine. All it might do 2:03:18.010 --> 2:03:20.590 is spawn a missile coming back in our direction. I 2:03:20.630 --> 2:03:22.430 don't know why they're playing with fire like this. 2:03:22.710 --> 2:03:24.700 I don't either. And I guess I have to continue 2:03:24.720 --> 2:03:27.500 with this sort of topic is what benefit do the 2:03:27.580 --> 2:03:30.600 European leaders get from ginning up concern of a Russia 2:03:30.640 --> 2:03:31.890 invading the continent anyway? 2:03:33.480 --> 2:03:35.740 I mean, there's the financial benefit because, you know, you've 2:03:35.760 --> 2:03:39.350 had this just European mentality going back. I mean, you 2:03:39.370 --> 2:03:42.970 can really go back even longer than that. This anti-Russian mentality. 2:03:42.990 --> 2:03:44.930 It was all during the Cold War. And then we 2:03:44.970 --> 2:03:47.990 were mad because we lost our enemy after the end 2:03:48.030 --> 2:03:49.850 of the Cold War. Well, we had to have one. 2:03:49.910 --> 2:03:52.460 So what a great one than Russia. Obviously, you have 2:03:52.500 --> 2:03:56.730 Napoleon there. In the 1800s, you have Hitler. In the 1900s, 2:03:56.720 --> 2:04:01.240 so there's a long history of Europeans wanting to conquer Russia, 2:04:01.480 --> 2:04:04.000 and now here's this current iteration. That's certainly how the 2:04:04.040 --> 2:04:06.000 Russians see it. That's why, to them, this is an 2:04:06.160 --> 2:04:09.620 existential threat and not just something on their border. They 2:04:09.650 --> 2:04:12.010 view this as the third iteration of Europe trying to 2:04:12.330 --> 2:04:14.230 dominate their country. That's how they see it, and that's 2:04:14.250 --> 2:04:15.070 how they're reacting. 2:04:15.490 --> 2:04:17.210 Well, and I don't know that the Russians have much 2:04:17.230 --> 2:04:20.610 to worry about, considering the Europeans are collapsing under the 2:04:20.650 --> 2:04:24.060 weight of their own social welfare programming systems. And people 2:04:24.080 --> 2:04:25.860 are riding in the streets over that. I don't know 2:04:25.880 --> 2:04:27.760 that they have any money to spare or can possibly 2:04:27.820 --> 2:04:29.280 fund a war to the extent they want to go 2:04:29.300 --> 2:04:30.400 down that road. 2:04:30.700 --> 2:04:33.700 They'll always find money for more war. They'll make their 2:04:33.720 --> 2:04:36.060 people sacrifice even more before they'll do that. 2:04:36.500 --> 2:04:40.160 Okay, I'll concede that, Daniel Davis. Moving over, I guess 2:04:40.200 --> 2:04:44.240 we launch what we are characterizing as a defensive strike 2:04:44.400 --> 2:04:48.160 on Kesham Island, the Strait of Hormuz. This because we 2:04:48.180 --> 2:04:52.600 were told that the Iranians attacked a United States aircraft 2:04:53.040 --> 2:04:57.460 So tit for tat, why Kashim Island? What militarily is there? 2:04:57.540 --> 2:04:59.720 Why that target versus any other? If we're just going 2:04:59.740 --> 2:05:01.720 to go ahead and drop a bomb in retaliation for 2:05:01.760 --> 2:05:05.680 them launching a missile, what effect this particular attack? 2:05:06.940 --> 2:05:10.240 According to what we've been told, this is just the 2:05:10.300 --> 2:05:13.480 latest in a series of strikes that have happened recently. 2:05:13.500 --> 2:05:15.850 They've been kind of below the media radar. 2:05:16.010 --> 2:05:16.280 Yeah, yeah. 2:05:16.920 --> 2:05:20.000 I'll concede that it's possible that exactly what we were 2:05:20.060 --> 2:05:23.540 told is true, that Iran tried to attack an F-35, 2:05:23.760 --> 2:05:26.520 because they've done that before, so that wouldn't be completely 2:05:26.900 --> 2:05:29.840 out of character. But I'd rather think that when you 2:05:29.880 --> 2:05:32.580 look at the array and things that are hit, it 2:05:32.660 --> 2:05:35.080 looks more to me like the U.S. is going, I'm 2:05:35.100 --> 2:05:37.560 going to go after radar sites and other areas of 2:05:37.680 --> 2:05:40.050 early warning. because we maybe wanted to come in with 2:05:40.090 --> 2:05:41.990 another big wave of things. So the idea is you 2:05:42.010 --> 2:05:44.550 want to strip away their eyes in the front part there, 2:05:45.230 --> 2:05:47.350 and then when whatever comes next, and then we kind 2:05:47.390 --> 2:05:49.010 of did a version of that in the first iteration 2:05:49.030 --> 2:05:53.480 of this back in February, March. So my military eyes 2:05:53.760 --> 2:05:56.760 here see that I think that we're getting ready for 2:05:56.800 --> 2:05:59.340 something bigger coming up here, as opposed to just, oh, 2:05:59.360 --> 2:06:02.000 they tried to shoot a random F-35. 2:06:02.060 --> 2:06:02.620 I don't know, though. 2:06:02.660 --> 2:06:04.800 I don't have enough information, but that's my concern. 2:06:04.960 --> 2:06:07.480 Well, and Donald Trump just said the other day, you know, we— 2:06:08.340 --> 2:06:11.160 Right after the election, we can start dropping bombs, kind 2:06:11.200 --> 2:06:13.089 of suggesting that it would only be the election that 2:06:13.100 --> 2:06:15.570 would hold him from or keep him from reengaging in 2:06:15.610 --> 2:06:20.710 kinetic strikes. But going back to our regular discussion, what 2:06:20.810 --> 2:06:23.750 good is it going to do if we start dropping bombs? 2:06:23.810 --> 2:06:26.430 Is there a strategy behind this that overcomes all the 2:06:26.470 --> 2:06:28.750 challenges that you brought up every single time you've been 2:06:28.770 --> 2:06:29.990 talking about this on the morning show? 2:06:31.070 --> 2:06:33.900 You know, yesterday, Jack Keane went on Fox News, and 2:06:33.950 --> 2:06:36.920 he addressed that question, at least, and said, oh, well, 2:06:36.940 --> 2:06:40.180 you know, because we've had more intelligence now over, you know, 2:06:40.240 --> 2:06:42.440 since the June when we, you know, had the basic 2:06:42.480 --> 2:06:45.580 ceasefire in place. Now we have a lot more intelligence, 2:06:45.960 --> 2:06:48.520 and so we can see where things are better. And 2:06:48.620 --> 2:06:50.230 now we're going to hit targets we didn't hit before 2:06:50.270 --> 2:06:53.810 because of new intelligence. I think that's, I'm just going 2:06:53.830 --> 2:06:56.330 to call it, that's BS. It's not like we didn't 2:06:56.370 --> 2:06:59.110 know these targets existed before, and suddenly we just discovered 2:06:59.150 --> 2:07:01.950 them through persistent stare. No, we've already known this and 2:07:01.980 --> 2:07:05.860 we've already hit the targets after painstaking years of preparation 2:07:05.880 --> 2:07:09.560 for this. And the targets that matter, we didn't destroy 2:07:09.580 --> 2:07:12.140 the first time, i.e. the missile cities under Granite Mountains. 2:07:12.420 --> 2:07:15.420 And those have not changed any. And that target requirement 2:07:15.440 --> 2:07:18.700 has not changed any. And our attack capabilities in terms 2:07:18.740 --> 2:07:21.220 of what we're going to shoot also hasn't changed except 2:07:21.240 --> 2:07:23.480 for there's less of it. So they may have in 2:07:23.520 --> 2:07:25.040 their mind they're going to hit other targets and they 2:07:25.080 --> 2:07:28.100 may hit other targets that they'll blow up whatever we 2:07:28.140 --> 2:07:30.600 shoot at because they can't stop it. but it won't 2:07:30.660 --> 2:07:32.700 make any difference for the war and it won't stop 2:07:32.760 --> 2:07:35.160 the one thing they have over all of the region, 2:07:35.220 --> 2:07:38.420 which is those long range missiles and the long range drones. 2:07:38.480 --> 2:07:40.460 And if you can't take those out and you start 2:07:40.510 --> 2:07:42.780 a war, then all these threats that Iran is making 2:07:42.810 --> 2:07:46.150 about what they'll hit in return, they also will do. 2:07:46.290 --> 2:07:48.910 And we can't stop that either. So in my view, 2:07:48.950 --> 2:07:52.590 it is absolute just insanity to start something that we 2:07:52.650 --> 2:07:53.790 can't finish on our terms. 2:07:54.050 --> 2:07:56.250 Well, and of course the Iranians and the Houthis have 2:07:56.270 --> 2:07:59.990 been launching attacks on the surrounding neighbors, Saudis, et cetera. Uh, 2:08:00.070 --> 2:08:01.790 And I've read that our allies in the Middle East 2:08:01.850 --> 2:08:04.470 are already planning for this next wave of assault. So 2:08:04.510 --> 2:08:08.570 they're targets as well. And it was just more recently 2:08:08.650 --> 2:08:12.590 revealed the extensive damage done to our military bases. I mean, 2:08:12.670 --> 2:08:15.750 billions of dollars. And that was really way, way, way 2:08:15.790 --> 2:08:18.030 under the radar. I mean, that wasn't a regularly reported thing. 2:08:18.090 --> 2:08:21.080 So We've got major challenges on our hand, and I 2:08:21.100 --> 2:08:23.080 guess we can expect the price of gasoline to go 2:08:23.120 --> 2:08:25.900 through the roof even more so if we start bombing again, Daniel. 2:08:26.720 --> 2:08:32.080 Yeah, and diesel in particular. But, yeah, because here's the problem. 2:08:32.280 --> 2:08:34.340 When we started this first one, we had this massive 2:08:34.380 --> 2:08:37.600 amount of strategic petroleum reserves and other things. We had 2:08:37.640 --> 2:08:40.360 lots of cushion. The cushion is gone. If we start 2:08:40.380 --> 2:08:44.320 something again now and the fuel facilities get hit, pumping 2:08:44.360 --> 2:08:47.980 stations get hit, tankers get sunk again, There's no cushion. 2:08:48.280 --> 2:08:50.020 So we're going to be in a lot more trouble 2:08:50.060 --> 2:08:50.630 the next round. 2:08:51.070 --> 2:08:53.570 Daniel Davis, Deep Dive.
