I had a 8 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: two day lag or a day lag anyway, started kicking 9 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: in with the brain fog on Sunday and then yesterday. Wow, 10 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: moving in stereo comes to mind very quickly, And of 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: course I'm feeling pretty much the same way today. So 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: all the help I can get, I'm up front acknowledging 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: that five one, three, seven, nine fifty two to three 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on your AT and T phone. 15 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Breaking news this morning. It is Black History Month, and 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: you've lost one of the more prominent members of well 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: black political history anyway, driving Jesse Jackson passed away this morning. 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. Anyhow, very influential man. 19 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: He was. 20 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: See here coming up. Tom Zawastowski seven thirty with Tom 21 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: we the People Convention dot org. We are going to 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: get a list of endorsed candidates for the primary number 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: one on the lists, Viva Ramaswami. Some have a problem 24 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: with that. Going back to the the Putsch interview the 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: other day. Anyway, what is driving the anger at Viva Ramaswami. 26 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: I am left to believe, based upon social media comments, 27 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: that some people just don't like him because he's Hindu. Thankfully, 28 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: we don't live in a theocracy. You can't make me 29 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: believe any religion, you can't make me follow any religion, 30 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: and of course there's no mechanism by which you can 31 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: be forced to follow any religion, even though the Catholic 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: Democrats on Capitol Hill are saying Ice is violating God's 33 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: will with the deportation search. More on that in a minute. 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I will note and I just looked this up an 35 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence search, and you can either believe it or not. 36 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: There are more than forty five thousand distinct Christian denominations 37 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: and organizations around the world. Apparently there was about five 38 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen hundred and nowther over forty five thousand 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: distinct Christian dominations, which include certain groups Catholics, Protestants, Etheran, Orthodox, 40 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican, and restorationists, beneath which there are multiple 41 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: layers of various faiths. So which one are we supposed 42 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: to follow? Democrats in Congress? Oh, that's right, we don't 43 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: live in a theocracy anyway. I'm sorry. I had to 44 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: get that out of my system because it was burning 45 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: in the back of my head. Coming up this morning 46 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: the Inside Scoop Right Bart News Deputy Politics Center after 47 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski will hear from Bradley Jay the latest on 48 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: the Save Act. Looks like they may go to this filibuster, 49 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the speaking filibuster. It's going to be a mess. How 50 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: long can they stand and talk? Now? In the past, 51 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: those filibusters have involved reading entire phone books, cookbooks, recipes, 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: lists that have nothing to do with the Save Act 53 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and nothing to do with a debate on the merits 54 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: or lack thereof, of the Save Act. They just use 55 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: time and use time and use time until I guess 56 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: they collapse and give up. Now, Okay, mister Smith going 57 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: to Washington. That was twenty three hours. If I recall 58 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: the movie correctly, this is going to potentially go on 59 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: for days, perhaps even weeks. Oh my god, this sentence 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: business will be interrupted. How do you feel about that 61 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: one anyway. Bradley Jay on that in a lot more 62 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: eight thirty Daniel Davis deep dive lots of things going on, 63 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: connecttions with Iron as well as the latest with Russia 64 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,279 Speaker 1: and Ukraine. Uh Zelensky is asking Congress to back security 65 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: guarantees before a piece deal with Russia, saying the security 66 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: guarantees much come before land concessions. Apparently that's the flip 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: of what Donald Trump wants. He wants the negotiation over 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: some land concessions to resolve the war, followed by some 69 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: form of security agreement m Kremlin offering the halt airstrikes 70 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: if Zelensky does allow a vote to go forward. Member 71 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: elections have been suspended for quite some time in Ukraine, 72 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: and apparently Iran has launched war drills and the horror 73 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: moves strayed. This in advance of the Geneva talks, which 74 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: are set to take place I think as early as today. 75 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: So plus, Iran's economy is going down to the toilet. 76 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: The inflation there is so outrageous, it's just it's hard 77 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: to comprehend. Anyway. Daniel Davis on that let us see here, Yes, 78 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Reverend Jackson has died longtime civil rights acted activist, Baptist minister, 79 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: and yes, he was a two time presidential candidate. And 80 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I remember when he was running for office. Cause of 81 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: death not immediately given, although he apparently was receiving treatment 82 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: for Parkinson's as early as twenty seventeen, is when he 83 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: first revealed that Northwestern Medical or Medicine in Chicago was 84 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: getting treatment for two years before even let the public 85 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: know about that diagnosis. Born in Greenville, South Carolina, and 86 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: he gained prominence by marching alongside Reverend Martin Luther King Junior. 87 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Eighty four and eighty eight. Of the years he ran 88 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: for president, one more than eighteen percent of the primary 89 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: vote and a handful of primaries and caucuses. In the 90 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: eighty four race, Remember that was around the time I 91 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: was working in downtown Cincinnati. I believe it was at 92 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: the Domestic Relations Court, and frequented a lot of different 93 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: black businesses down there, and I remember going into one 94 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: and it was every single political cartoon that had Jesse 95 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: Jackson in it. They were all just nailed up on 96 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: the wall. They're very proud of the idea of Jesse 97 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Jackson running for president. And I remember the cries of 98 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: you can win, Jesse, you can win. Fast forward to 99 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: eighty eight. He won eleven primaries and caucuses. He let's 100 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: see here, began his work as an organizer with the 101 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: Congress over Racial Equality march ins and sit ins. Went 102 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: to North Carolina at and T State University, graduated of 103 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: his sociology degree. Rallied their students and support for King 104 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: during his divinity studies at Chicago Theological Seminary, and was 105 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: at the summit of Montgomery March in Alabama. Back in 106 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five, the year my birth. That's hard to 107 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: believe anyway, Jackson joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLC 108 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: to work along side King full time after those college 109 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: days at the Chicago Theological Seminary. Got a lot of 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: praise from the Reverend King during that time see here. 111 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: He was at the motel in Memphis, Tennessee, when King 112 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: was assassinated in nineteen sixty eight. He founded then after 113 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: that the People United to Save a Humanity Push in 114 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one, resigning from the SCLC that year to 115 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: start that push organization. Because he was suspended from the 116 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: SCLC accused of using the SCLC for personal gain. No 117 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: one would ever do that, would they? Joe use an 118 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: organization for personal gain, personal advancement, advocating for the rights 119 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: of black people down trodden, they are personal gain. I'm 120 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: sure that never endto the equation with the Reverend. Sorry 121 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: I shouldn't speak, well, I wasn't speaking, ilvm. I'm just recognizing, Yeah, 122 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: that transcends political stride, parenthetically using organizations to achieve personal gain. Anyway, 123 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four presidential bid prompted the National Rainbow Coalition. 124 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: You remember that he launched that in opposition to Ronald 125 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: Reagan's policies advocating for social programs, voting rights. I gotta 126 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: circle that and figure out what Reverend Jackson meant by 127 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: voting rights back in nineteen eighty five four versus what 128 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats are advocating for these days anyway, also push 129 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: for affirmative action. The Rainbow Coalition and Push merged, and 130 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: they are now the Rainbow Push Coalition, been that way 131 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: for some time. 132 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 4: Now. 133 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: I thought this was a rather rather comical review of history, 134 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: go all the way back to nineteen eighty four, when 135 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats had some sense of moderation. Apparently his ideas 136 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: were too left leaning, and the Democrats themselves believed he 137 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: would hurt the party in the general election. Jackson dismissing 138 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: the concerns and the great responsibility we have today is 139 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: to put the poor and the near poor back on 140 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: the front of the American agenda. This is a dangerous mission, 141 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: and yet it's a necessary mission. Don't know what he 142 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: meant by dangerous, but it's amazing how times have not changed. 143 00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: This is again nineteen eighty four. Apparently the poor and 144 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: near poor still a major issue here in society. Didn't 145 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: Jesus say the poor you will always have among you. 146 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: I think it was something along those lines, going back 147 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: to the forty five thousand distinct Christian denominations. Anyway, I 148 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: believe that was scripture. Anyway, No, theologian Brian Thomas, you 149 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: may recall nineteen eighty four, Jackson did run run into 150 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: a bit of a problem which you know is still 151 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: going on and swirling around today among many of the 152 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: Democrat community. Jewish people he referred to as Heimi's h 153 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: also refer to New York City as Heimie Town. That 154 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: in a Washington Post interview. Now, he initially denied saying 155 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: it and accused the Jewish people of targeting his campaign 156 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: that then the whoops backpedal. Yeah, okay, nah, I did 157 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: use the slur and I'm sorry. Here is my impassioned apology. 158 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: Just bum because he got caught. When you're talking to 159 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: the New York Post, I imagine you are on the 160 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: record anyway. Now. You know, got to give him credit because, 161 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: according to the record in his obituary, he helped with 162 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: the release of several detaining capturing Americans around the world. 163 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: Back in nineteen ninety ninety, negotiating the release of three 164 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: US soldiers held in Yugoslavia, for which Bill Clinton ordered 165 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: him the Presidential Presidential Medal of Freedom. Apparently also won 166 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: the release of US Navy pilots back in nineteen eighty 167 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: four from Syrian captors, at least sixteen Americans held in 168 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: Cuba in nineteen eighty four, seven hundred women and children 169 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: from Iraq in nineteen ninety two, Gambian Americans from prison 170 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: in the West African country in twenty twelve.

Yeah? 191 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: What? 192 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: Remember that had a little bit of a crime spree 193 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: last year that forced the mayor and the city leadership 194 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: to fessa to the reality. Yeah, I guess we do 195 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: have a crime problem. In spite of the weeks and 196 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: if not months of over and oh, repeating that you 197 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: can't believe your own eyes, nub, we have no crime problem. 198 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: We of course had Sarah Herringer's husband stabbed in their 199 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: over the Rye home. Remember the beat down. You can't 200 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: forget Holly getting cole cocked in the face, among others 201 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: involved in that particular incident. And of course they had 202 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: to do something. So what are they to do. They 203 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: try to negotiate for Police Chief threes of Thiji to resign. 204 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: She refused, so they put her on a paid administrative leave. 205 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: Why I think, as we've learned, police Chief Thiji doesn't 206 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: have a tremendously necessary amount of control over what the 207 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: police department does by way of its actions. It seems 208 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: to rest and share them along's lap, maybe by extension 209 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: Iris Rawley community activists don't know anyway, So as I'm 210 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: taking a look at the crime over the past, we 211 00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: had one dead this morning, most recent shooting, of course, 212 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: a tragedy on the heels of multiple shootings in and 213 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: around downtown since seventy one o'clock this morning. Poplar Street 214 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: woman hospitalized after a shooting. We got two dead and 215 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: two hospitalized after a shooting near North Side Bar that 216 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: happened Sunday morning. One dead, one injured after a party 217 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: bus shooting in downtown that happened on two hundred block 218 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: East third Street early Saturday morning about twelve thirty in 219 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: the morning. North Avenue we had a shooting early Saturday 220 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: morning as well, seven hundred block of Greenwood Avenue about 221 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: five twenty in the morning. I appreciate, Joe Strecker you're 222 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: reminding me and so I can pass it along to 223 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: the listening audience. How overwhelmingly that they voted for AFTAB 224 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: provo on the current administration, most eighty five one percent 225 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: neighborhoods going for the status going downtown Cincinnati. So where 226 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: is that investigation going? Anybody find out anything? Apparently not? 227 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: Scott Wartman, thank you from the enquire for letting us know. 228 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: They won't say and they do not know what's going 229 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: on now the deadline's looming. The relationship they have with 230 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: former Frost Brown Todd, it's FBT Gibbons Law firm that 231 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: has been hired to investigate, well, I suppose, and it 232 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: always seemed to me that they were trying to recreate 233 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: a motive or a reason or justification to place Thig 234 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: on administrative leave, apparently digging into background information for looking 235 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: for a reason and perhaps fire her. I don't know, 236 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: but because everyone was going, why in the hell police 237 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: chief DG praised on administrative leave when they didn't say 238 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: she did anything to justify it, Well, let's hire FBT 239 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: Gibbons a finer reason. Visically at work they are There 240 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: was a deadline at the end of the year for 241 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: the firm's retention that was extended now until the end 242 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: of this month. As Workman reports, if any resolution is 243 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: in sight, no one with the city or Thig is saying. 244 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: So. 245 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: They hired FBT Gibbons last October to conduct an investigation 246 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: into her performance. 247 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 3: So. 248 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: It is not known right now if anything has been 249 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: uncovered during the investigation. Enquire asked through a public records 250 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: request last month any report submitted to the city from 251 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: any law firms retained by the city to investigate police 252 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: chief three Stahigi. The city administration said nothing exists, So 253 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: apparently no communications between FBT Gibbons and the City of Cincinnati. 254 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: If you want to believe that I have a bridge, 255 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: I want to sell you en what reached out all 256 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: the city leaders. Hey, what do you got to say 257 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: about this? Pervoll? I love this. Parvoll referred questions to 258 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: Cheryl Long. Cheryl Long spokeswoman moy Lair declined to comment, 259 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: saying there's no update. She wouldn't say whether the contract 260 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: with FBT Gibbons would be extended or whether a finding 261 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: in the investigation would be reached soon. Again, TikTok, TikTok. 262 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: Deadline the end of the month. So they reached out 263 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: to FBT Gibbons clin comment. Well, what about Police Chiefdiji's 264 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: attorney Steve m No comment. How about Vice Mayor Jean 265 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: Michelle Levan Kearny, she has something to say about this, right? Nope, 266 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: no comment now, they say. Of the nine council members, 267 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: Seth Walls, Jeff Camerton and Mark Jefferies offered some form 268 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: of comment. Waals, While I understand curiosity what's happening behind 269 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: the scenes, I believe patience is necessary until the investigation 270 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: is closed. Not much there there. Mark Jefferies, he doesn't 271 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: know where the investigation stands. He said he's hoping to 272 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: get more information from the city administration this month. Yeah. 273 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: Jeff Camerdon deferred comments to the city's lawyers, saying litigation 274 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: was possible. When it comes to situations like this, you 275 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: need to defer to the law department. Duck dip, dodge, 276 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: dive and duck or dodge dip, duck, dive and dodge. 277 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 4: Right. 278 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: The five d's a dodgeball which I can't even get right. 279 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: This morning, moving in stereo local stories and we can 280 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: talk about all the murders and gun play in downtown Cincinnati, 281 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: or you can call five one three seven nine fifty 282 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talky right back fifty five 283 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: KRC dot com.

Is 306 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 5: there any surprise about this stuff from from the city 307 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 5: at Cincinnati, the council and all that. I mean, no, 308 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 5: one's really shocked. The only the only question is going 309 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 5: to be is, uh, how much the people that are 310 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 5: asking the questions still? How long are they going to 311 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 5: keep asking questions or or a Cincinnati council or whoever, 312 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 5: just hoping this thing goes away by itself and we 313 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 5: all just ignore it. That's the important thing is we 314 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 5: can't just ignore stuff like this one they pull this crap. 315 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 5: We can't just uh we you know what. I'm tired 316 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 5: of asking about it now. We've got to keep asking 317 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 5: about it and keep bringing it up, and you keep 318 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 5: this out in the four in front of people's minds 319 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 5: that this is the this is the police chief. I mean, 320 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: this isn't like some random person occupying a back office 321 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 5: that kept put on administrative leave. This is the chief 322 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 5: of police of a major city. So it's kind of 323 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 5: a big deal. So it should be treated as it's 324 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 5: a big deal and not you know, just let it, 325 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 5: you know, let it go away, like like Faulk just 326 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 5: eventually dissipates, we should just let this go away. Keep 327 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 5: asking about it. So kudos to the people from the 328 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 5: choir or whoever's asking these questions to bring it up, 329 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 5: because they got to answer for what they're doing. 330 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 4: Well, I have to. 331 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: It can't go away at this point. They placed our 332 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: an administrative leave without any specific reason being articulated. They 333 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: hired an outside law firm to investigate it. They extended 334 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: the law firm's contract to continue investigated for additional two months. 335 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: So what have they been out it. It'll be a 336 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: total of four maybe four plus months total. We've got 337 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: nothing back, and that's fine. I'm not necessarily expecting an 338 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: interim or word from the law firm. But how long 339 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: does it take it to go through her background and 340 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: her records to find some reason to justify being placed 341 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: on administrative leave. You would think that wouldn't take too longer, 342 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: that they had a reason up front to put her 343 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: on administrative leave. But no, apparently not. We're just left 344 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: with a bunch of swirling questions and no answer. So TikTok, TikTok. 345 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: But this is going to have to be addressed. They 346 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: are going to have to come out at some point 347 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 1: and definitively state well, FBT Gibbons didn't find anything, or 348 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: they gave her a clean bill of health, or look, 349 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: here's all these reasons why she should have been placed 350 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: on administrative leave, none of which apparently were known to 351 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: the city manager and the mayor at the time. 352 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 5: Right or when they should have done some kind of 353 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 5: background check before they even hired her. 354 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: Oh, I think her record shit, I mean, she has 355 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: a thirty year record with this insame police department. I 356 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: doubt she ever would have been elevated to police chief 357 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: if she had bad things in her record. 358 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: Right. 359 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 5: Also, all this goes to there's really only one reason 360 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 5: that they're doing this, and this to try to cover 361 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 5: their bus. She's a scapegoat, that's really it. So they 362 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 5: were running the show, they were telling her what to do, 363 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 5: and when things went sideways for him, and they couldn't 364 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: keep pretending that there was no problem anymore. We need 365 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 5: somebody to throw under the bus. 366 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: We've got to do something. We've got to do something 367 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: to protect our phony blowney jobs. Right, Okay, we're going 368 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: to hold up police Chief DJ as the sacrificial lamb, 369 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: notwithstanding to the fact that it wasn't her. At least 370 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: that's the way it appears. 371 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 5: That's the way it appears. 372 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 6: That's that's the way it looks. 373 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 5: And you know, if you're not going to come out 374 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 5: and give us anything a substance, what else do you 375 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 5: expect us to go by? 376 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 377 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 5: So all that, all that together means vote Democrat. 378 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: A great You can get a bunch of no comments.

Happened on Saturday morning. 430 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: Officers had three separate reports of indecent exposure west side 431 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: of Hamilton between twelve am and three am.

Hamilon Police Department 433 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: said the incidents occurred in the four and the block 434 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: of Sherman Avenue, the one hundred block of North f Street, 435 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: and the three and a block of North C Street. 436 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: In each incident, the police said, the suspect exposed himself and, 437 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: in their words, engaged in lewd conduct. Yeah.

Also, a 448 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: police canine was sent out, not being found, though Hamilton 449 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: Police Department is offering a five hundred dollars reward for 450 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: information leading to the rest of the suspect. If you 451 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: have any information, Hamilton Police Investigation Section needs to hear 452 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: from you. Who is this guy?

So don't 466 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 7: feel too bad about you. 467 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: Help me quick to point out, though that's a low bar. 468 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: I appreciate the compliment.

I mean, you know, you butter 474 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 7: your words up a little here and there, but for 475 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 7: the most part, you're doing a damn good job. 476 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: Don't feel too bad, thanks, man. 477 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 7: You've got apparently you've got enough metal reserve. 478 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: To cover it. It's just the swirling weirdness that's going 479 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: on in my brain that's released I struggle with. I 480 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: don't know how it translates to verbal communication, but if 481 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here, it's really weird. It feels like 482 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm dizzy and swirling, and that is exactly how I 483 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: felt the last time I got the treatment. So apparently 484 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: this is what I have facing me for the next 485 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: four rounds of treatments. I'll be done in June, and 486 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: it'll be it'll all be over. I'm just gonna have 487 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: to guess take Mondays and Tuesdays off after the treatment. 488 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: But we'll cross that bridge we get to it, Hank. 489 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: But I think very I truly appreciate the kind words. 490 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: I really do well. 491 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 7: In any case, the reason I called was I wanted 492 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 7: to see if anybody else remembered back when Jesse Jackson 493 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 7: got in trouble with one of the organizations he was 494 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 7: in because he was using organization funds to pay for 495 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 7: a baby mama, an illegitimate child. 496 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that was the reference for accusing for him 497 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: being accused of using the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLC 498 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: for personal gain, the words that the the obituary from 499 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: the New York Times or yeah, New York Posts had 500 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: for it. So I didn't remember specifically what personal gain, 501 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I do vaguely recall that that rumor swirling around. 502 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that was actually during the Rainbow Push 503 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 7: era too, But I could be wrong. Mister Struker might 504 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 7: be able to find that better than I would. Yeah, 505 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 7: but the other thing about that is is do you 506 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 7: think he'll still be voting Democrat in the next election? 507 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: Well, wait and see.

I don't want to disparage the man. 510 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we could be critics of Reverend Jesse 511 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: Jackson and some of the politics he engaged in and 512 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: some of his actions over the years, but you cannot 513 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: deny he was very, very influential within the well Black 514 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: community as well as in politics generally speaking. So everybody 515 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: knows who he is and who he was, and as 516 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: of this morning, he is no longer with us.

Absolutely please continue prayers for Joe 532 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: Jrekker's father. Thank you. 533 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 8: So it's I'm glad to hear you're going to have 534 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 8: a guest to talk about the Save Act. It's just 535 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 8: I got to stand back and just laugh at the 536 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 8: way they try and defend this. Now it seems like 537 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 8: most of them now because the women numbers that they 538 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 8: don't pull that well with Trump. So now we're shifting 539 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 8: it from the minorities. How it's going to disenfranchise to 540 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 8: the women. Although Chucky Schumer must not have got the message, 541 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 8: because of course he was out there last week and 542 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 8: saying that that say back was Jim Crow two point zero. 543 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 8: But excuse me, mister Schumer. You said that the Georgia 544 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 8: Laws was Jim Crow two point zero, So I guess 545 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 8: the Fayvac should actually be Jim Pro three point zero 546 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 8: if it was anything at all, which of course it's not. 547 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: And of course he didn't turn out real well, labeling 548 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: the Georgia law Jim Crow two point zero, since more 549 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: black people showed up and voted after the law took 550 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: a fact then before the law was in effect. So 551 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: I guess didn't work out real well for him. 552 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 8: Broke records. And you know the requirements now and with 553 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 8: the women, because now they think that the women are 554 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 8: too dumb enough. Yeah, that after they get married or 555 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 8: get divorced and remarried, that they can't do it. This 556 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 8: is no different than what was requirements on the real idea. 557 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 8: And this is not a disparaging comment. It's just what 558 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 8: we use in the classified material. It's called a chain 559 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 8: of custody. Okay, and it's the same thing here. Yes, 560 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 8: your birth certificate. If I go in with my lovely bride, 561 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 8: it won't match. But if she has another document that 562 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 8: proves that she was married before, Okay, I got that. 563 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 8: I got chain of custody. Here's your real ID, missus 564 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 8: wolver Yeah, okay, it's no different than that. Smart they 565 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 8: can do that. 566 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: Once you have a real ID, which you really need 567 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: in order to travel inefficiently, then you're set. There's your 568 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: photo idea requirement. It meets federal law. Out of the 569 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: Save Act anyway, if it gets an act exactly. 570 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 8: And another critical thing. Having been an election worker, now 571 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 8: this is year eleven for me. They just don't pop 572 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 8: up election days. 573 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 6: They don't just. 574 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 8: Say on Friday, here we're going to have an election 575 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 8: next Tuesday. The primary, folks, is May fifth. Every federal 576 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 8: election from now until we're all six feet under is 577 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 8: the first Tuesday after the first first Monday in November. 578 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 8: No surprise there. So if you have a life changing 579 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 8: situation come that might change your ID, you got till 580 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 8: next November in twenty twenty eight, or excuse me, in 581 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 8: mid terms now and you got twenty twenty eight, you 582 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 8: got twenty thirty, twenty thirty two. It doesn't matter. It's 583 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 8: the first Tuesday after the first Monday. They don't just 584 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 8: spring election days on us. 585 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: You might have heard have passed along that message to 586 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: the residents of the city of Cincinnati. 587 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 8: Step heres, I guess. 588 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 3: So. 589 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 8: Anyway, it's just it's so easy just to whip up 590 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 8: these red herrings, and it's just laughable to see people 591 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 8: get in front of a camera and actually spew this garbage. 592 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 8: It's and except that you know, I think that one 593 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 8: was the last one I saw how seventy million people 594 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 8: are going to be franchised, or how we're going to 595 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 8: be walking up walking up people on the street and 596 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 8: say show me your papers. No, no, sir, that's not 597 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 8: the way it works. 598 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: No, it isn't the way it works. Unfortunately, you get it, 599 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: and I'm hoping more and more people get it. And 600 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: of course, given the polling on this particular issue, Chuckie 601 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: Schumer is in the batcrap in same side of the argument. 602 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: Let him keep saying it, let him keep offending people, 603 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: because that's what he does every single time he comes 604 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: out and says black people can't get IDs, women can't 605 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: get IDs. You can include my wife among the people 606 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: who was insulted by that actual concept, Mike. She even 607 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: said it out loud when he first articulated that poor 608 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: women can't get an idea. Oh my god, they're not 609 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: going to be able to vote. She's like, that is 610 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. Of course, she's been able to manage that 611 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: her entire life, and at least as long as she's 612 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: been with me. So yeah, lots of documents, she able 613 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: to get him all in the place and does have 614 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: her real ID so she can vote in federal elections. 615 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: Didn't find it too challenging to be in that position. 616 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: Amazing that well, like you, we just both married all 617 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: of our element We just have overly extraordinarily smart women, Mike, 618 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: and that's the only reason they were able to manage 619 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: that difficult challenge.

I take 674 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: a week off, and following that, maybe we'll have I 675 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: don't know, a week, two weeks, a month, three months 676 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: of NonStop reading of the phone book. Why well, because 677 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: black people and women, apparently in the hearts and minds, 678 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: the Democrats are too stupid to get a photo id 679 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: H boiled down. That's what it comes across. As vast 680 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: majority of the people in the United States of America, 681 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: as the polling regularly and consistently indicates, have no problem 682 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: getting a photo ID Yeah, my people of color friends 683 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: and my female friends all actually expressing insult when Chucky 684 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: Schumer goes on and says you're not capable of getting 685 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: a photo, I d good luck with that one. Meanwhile, 686 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: Chuckie Schumer, of course the power doing the business of 687 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: the people. He has introduced legislation yes over the weekend, 688 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: to make the Pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol. Now, 689 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: in terms of priority, where does that lie in your interests? 690 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: Not being part of the LGBTQ community doesn't mean a 691 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: whole lot to me. But you know, then again, we're 692 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: talking about national symbols here, and Trump had previously ordered 693 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: the removal of flags that are non agency flags at 694 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: national parks, they must be removed. And apparently there is 695 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: a national monument to the Stonewall riots, which are of course, 696 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: were a real uh you know, pivot point for the LGBTQ, 697 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: or at least the gay and Lesbian community movement. Police 698 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: kept interrupting Stonewall where men liked to dance together, and 699 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: finally there was no moss and they took to the 700 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: streets and rioted. In the aftermath of that, you got 701 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: to go all the back to nineteen sixty nine for that. Anyway, 702 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: there's a Stonewall National Monument where the gay Pride flag 703 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: was flying. Since the order encompassed all national monuments, it 704 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: wasn't just focused on the Stonewall National Monument. The Pride 705 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: flag remove, And of course Chuckie Schumer thinks it's important 706 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: to make that a national symbol, a national symbol akin 707 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: to the American flag. Priorities? Now, is that going to 708 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: get him elected in November? Just wondering, Just wondering. Anyway, 709 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: back over to the city of Cincinnati, got a lot 710 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: of issues on their hands, a lot of priorities that 711 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: should be higher than this one. At least that's my position. 712 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Feel free to chime in on it. Councilman Ryan James, 713 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: CINCINNTI council's newest members, introduced a motion entitled Quote to 714 00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: protect our resonance from the threat of immigration and customs surveillance. 715 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: The idea is to direct city administrations well I guess 716 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: any area of city government, to never ask residents about 717 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: their citizenship for any city program. Since an councils expected 718 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: to vote on this or at least debate spending, You're 719 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: ready two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand dollars to 720 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: help immigrants facing deportation and their family members and provide 721 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: social services for the immigration community. His motion ask the 722 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: city administration to report within ninety days whether any city 723 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,439 Speaker 1: departments or programs ask about citizenship or collect any citizenship data, 724 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: and if any city programs does collect this information. The 725 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: motion directs the city manager and all city departments too, 726 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: and there were in the words of the motion to 727 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: remove all existing areas of inquiry regarding citizenship or naturalization 728 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: status close quote. Since a Council Youth and Human Services 729 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: Committee is going to be debated before that one, the 730 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: chair and ALBI Councilman Albi claims he supports the measure. 731 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 1: But here's the fun part about this, is this trip 732 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: really necessary? Court of Scott Wartmon from the Enquirer's report 733 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: of the city administration, has already told her The chair 734 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: of this particular committee, Councilman Anna Albi, that the city 735 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: does not ask questions about immigration status. So the point 736 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: of the motion is to prevent them from, I guess ever, 737 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: asking about immigration status. So council expected to debate the 738 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: funding ideas for immigrants and their families, They say, especially 739 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: those impacted by ICE enforcement, which I would think that 740 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: would mean if ICE is really truly going at for 741 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: the most criminal element in our society, it would be 742 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: the most criminal element among the illegal immigrant population of 743 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati that this would well, this would 744 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: benefit Albie's resolution. Also, a co sponsor by Mark Jefferts, 745 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: would spend three hundred thousand dollars to establish what they 746 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: call an Emergency Immigration Response Fund, which apparently supposed to 747 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: go toward legal assistance, food and housing support, and education 748 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: programs for immigrants in their families. Could somebody give me 749 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: a number of illegal immigrants in the greater Cincinnati area. 750 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: We are a sanctuary city. So I imagine there's got 751 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: to be a substantial number. Someone do the math. How 752 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: far can three hundred thousand dollars go most, notably since 753 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: it first and foremost is apparently going to legal assistance. 754 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: Legal assistance very expensive last time I checked, how many 755 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 1: hours of work do you get for three hundred thousand 756 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: dollars in legal assistance? Given well, these cases can go 757 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: on for a very long time, and I will tell you, 758 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: having practiced law for a long time, that doesn't get 759 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: you very far. Oh but then again, there's food, housing support, 760 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: and education programs also supposed to be paid for with 761 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 1: this three hundred thousand dollars. I don't think the math 762 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: works out. Maybe this is a little bit of virtue signaling, 763 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: and I'll be I'm recommending an emergency immigration response fund 764 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: so we can respond across the board. We have a 765 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: pot of money to do that work whenever the issues 766 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: may come up. Where did she find this pot of 767 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: money we need? Citizen watch dog todds Enzer on this case, 768 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: I thought they were out, Joe. Weren't they going to 769 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: raise taxes? 770 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 4: I mean that. 771 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: They're talking about to raising income tax in the city, 772 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: So they have a pot of money to do this work. 773 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm confused. Someone clear up my confusion. Separately, James introduced 774 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: another motion that will give two hundred and ten thousand 775 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: dollars to the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center. Can we 776 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,320 Speaker 1: properly characterize that as an NGO for the purpose of 777 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: providing legal counsel to those facing deportation as well as 778 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: connecting the immigrant communities to social services. You have to 779 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: give Scott Wartman over the quire call, because I don't 780 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: know what the hell that means. Money's going to solve 781 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 1: the problem, though apparently also a warpman reporting that it's 782 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: part of an overall proposed spending package that includes money 783 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 1: for the Here's another one, access to Council program, which 784 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 1: they say provides representation of people facing eviction, the free store, 785 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: food bank, and other community projects. A seemingly endless list 786 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: of organizations outside of the City of Cincinnati government who 787 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: are going to receiving your taxpayer dollars compliments of probably 788 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: at increasing your income tax. I want to know the 789 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 1: size of this pot of money that I'll be talking about. 790 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: Also add this to the list. The money in James's 791 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: proposal would also pay for a quote know your rights 792 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: close quote campaign for the purposes of educating communities on 793 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: the law and programs about quote how to recognize and 794 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: respond appropriately to ICE activity in the community. Oh maybe 795 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: the whistle blowing strategy. When ICE comes to your neighborhood, 796 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: got to get out there in the middle of the street, 797 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: block it with your car and blow a whistle at 798 00:44:50,480 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 1: ICE agents so effectively. As I read that one, your 799 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: hard earned taxpayer dollars, as finite and limited as they are, 800 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: given the deficit that we've got going on in the 801 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, are going to pay to train people 802 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: on I guess anti ice agitation, at least that's how 803 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas is reading it this morning. Come up with 804 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: your own conclusion or tell me that I'm wrong. That 805 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: is political organization. And in spite of the fact we 806 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: know how blue the city of Cincinnati is, I don't 807 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 1: think being blue necessarily means you're in favor of illegal 808 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: imminence most immigrants, most notably criminal ones, limiting in your 809 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: neighborhood on your taxpayer dollars. Ah. And here's a good 810 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: point depart from Homeland Scurityssistant Secretary A. Tricia McLoughlin. Actually 811 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: directly slamming this particular proposal. What a slap in the face. 812 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 1: Here's go back to my point on the overwhelmingly blue 813 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: voters in the city of Cincinnati. What a slap in 814 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: the face of the thirty five percent of Cincinnati children 815 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: who live in poverty. Those dollars should be going to 816 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 1: their social safety net and helping those children in The 817 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: American taxpayer offers those those in this country illegally a 818 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: twenty six hundred dollars exit bonus and a free flight home. 819 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 1: Of course, she had to get that in there. There 820 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: are options, folks out there. It's six eighteen right now, 821 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 1: fifty five kr C the talk station. What a great 822 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: opportunity for you to mention as it all talk station 823 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: at six forty three fifty five cars de talk station. Apparently, 824 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: this whole immigration thing is a court of the Catholic 825 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: Democrats the Republicans. I suppose violating God's will. And you 826 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 1: know I mentioned this multitude of times. If you are 827 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: in a church and someone in the front of the church, 828 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 1: the priest, the i'mam, the minister, the rabbi, whatever pastor 829 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: is telling you you need to vote for government legislation 830 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: to fulfill your Christian mission, then they don't get it. 831 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: That has been my position, and I'm entitled to my own, 832 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: at least in so far as interpreting our Christian doctor 833 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 1: being Catholic doctrine. And with that I will point out 834 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: yet again, there are over forty five thousand distinct distinct 835 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 1: Christian denominations. This is the court of the Center for 836 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: Study of Global Christianity. We all come out of the 837 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: heading of Catholic, Protestant, Ethan, Orthodox or Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican, 838 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: and Restorationists, but there are a multitude of subsets beneath 839 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: all that pick one. So I'm interpret scripture differently cour 840 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: to the fort forty House members who are Catholic, they 841 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: release this statement. We feel called in solidary to stand 842 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: with immigrants, especially those who are poor, marginalized, or feeling hardship, 843 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 1: and to ensure that they are treated with dignity, justice 844 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 1: and compassion. As Catholics and elected officials, we believe that 845 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: addressing long standing inequities expanding meaningful opportunities for immigrants is 846 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,399 Speaker 1: essential part of our responsibility to community and those most 847 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: in neat You may share a different position on religion 848 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: and the obligation of the individual versus the state, and 849 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: I Channel House speaker Mike Johnson. Now, he happens to 850 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: be a Southern Baptist, and he does cite Scripture in 851 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,800 Speaker 1: connection with what he is talking about, and that's it. 852 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: He's entitled to do that. I still go back to 853 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 1: we don't live in a theocracy, but you can use 854 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: religious tenets and principles to advance your argument. He said. 855 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 1: The Bible is clear Christians should practice personal charity, but 856 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: also insist upon the enforcement of laws like our federal 857 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: immigration statutes, so that every person is subject to the 858 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: governing authorities and those who resist incur judgment those that 859 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,759 Speaker 1: statement does cite or is citing, Saint Paul's Letter of 860 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: the Romans, at least a segment of it, chapter thirteen specifically. 861 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: So he's relying on faith to talk about your obligation 862 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: as a personal obligation to your mission, not the government, 863 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: he said, the faithful as individuals, but not the machinery 864 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 1: of state. Well, you have to see to whom the 865 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: order is given, this Christian mission order. That order is 866 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: not given to civil authorities and the government. That order 867 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: is given to individuals. We do reach out to the sojourner, 868 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: But it is not the job of the federal government 869 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: to do it. And if you think that's wrong, no, 870 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: the federal government should take on this Christian mission. What 871 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,959 Speaker 1: about all the other religions and all the other House members. 872 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: Some of them are Muslims, some of them are Hindu 873 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: The raamosamis Hindu. Oh my God, we can't let him. 874 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: Some of them are atheists or agnostics. Some of them 875 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: don't share this particular view. Some of them have a 876 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 1: different viewpoint of the exact mission. Then, when it comes 877 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: to religion, you know what opinions are like. And if 878 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,439 Speaker 1: we take on the Catholic mission as this particular group 879 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: sees it, what are the missions are we going to 880 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: take on in the name of filling the blank?

Let me just start 893 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 3: with acknowledging the death of Jesse Jackson. Yeah, and just 894 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 3: and just give some context to your listening audience. You know, 895 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,359 Speaker 3: here's a man who was born in nineteen forty one, right, 896 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 3: my parents were born in nineteen thirty eight, and so 897 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 3: at the ripe age of twenty six or twenty seven, 898 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,600 Speaker 3: twenty eight, you know, he was living in a period 899 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,280 Speaker 3: of time where civil rights leaders were being murdered, people 900 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 3: like doctor King, people like MegaR Evers. You know, he 901 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 3: knew Rosa Parks, John F. Kennedy's assassination. You know, America 902 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 3: made him like people have to. You know, sometimes I think, Brian, 903 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 3: you know, in twenty twenty six, we reflect back and 904 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 3: we look at iconic people like Jesse Jackson and all 905 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 3: of his imperfections, but we don't acknowledge that he came 906 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 3: up in a time in America where it wasn't its 907 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 3: best for African Americans, and so he was going through 908 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 3: a time in his life where he had to live 909 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 3: a life where he had to walk in the back 910 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 3: door of a restaurant. He couldn't go in the front 911 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 3: door of a restaurant. And as painful as that is 912 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 3: for America in this great democratic experiment that we have, 913 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 3: I love this country. He loved this country as he 914 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 3: fought for it. You love this country. But we have 915 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 3: to talk about his legacy in that context because he 916 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 3: had some imperfections. There's no question as things changed, as 917 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 3: America got better, there were times that I thought that 918 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,760 Speaker 3: Jesse Jackson did not move as quickly as these things 919 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 3: were happening in front of us, all the way to 920 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 3: the election of an African American President of the United 921 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 3: States of America and so or of a man of color. However, 922 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:08,760 Speaker 3: people wanted to find President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle Obama, 923 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 3: their children, and his mother in law who lived in 924 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 3: the White House. My point is, let's give him his 925 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 3: due that he came up in a period of time 926 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 3: that it was difficult. And I'll end with personal stories 927 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 3: about myself, meaning I was born in nineteen sixty seven, 928 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 3: so I was born right kind of in the middle 929 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:34,320 Speaker 3: of that probably like you were, Brian. Yeah, I remember 930 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,360 Speaker 3: in my life where I could not walk through Norwood 931 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 3: safely at night. I mean, my dad would say, listen, 932 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 3: you better be careful going if you don't, you know, 933 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 3: when the sun set, don't come through Norwood or places 934 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 3: like Saint Bernard. Places like Norwood and Saint Bernard in 935 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 3: our city have changed so dramatically, meaning that's where I 936 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 3: grocery shop every day. You know, I don't have that context. 937 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,720 Speaker 3: You know, I remember my father telling me about dating 938 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 3: in a racially meaning there was a white female that 939 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 3: I liked in high school. You know, be very very 940 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,640 Speaker 3: careful where you go. Blah blah blah. That's how I lived. 941 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 3: That's not fake. That's my life. 942 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:10,399 Speaker 7: Yea. 943 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 3: Well we've come beyond that. My children are marrying interracially, right, 944 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 3: they're dating interracially. That's all in all of our families. 945 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 3: So the world has changed, and some of that change 946 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 3: has happened because of men and women like Jesse Jackson. 947 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,759 Speaker 1: No arguing that whatsoever. Yeah, we can all focus on 948 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: the bad things people did and look at behind the scenes, 949 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,760 Speaker 1: and you know, overlook the good that they did out front, 950 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 1: and you know, never a huge fan of some of 951 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 1: the things Jesse was advocating for. Of course, left winning, 952 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: liberal socialist type policies have never been my area of 953 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, a favoritism. But you know, again contextually it 954 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: is so important we lose sight of that, we really do. 955 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I was born in sixty five. As you 956 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 1: point out, the world was dramatically different, and I had 957 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: no idea about the world that I was born into 958 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,800 Speaker 1: that time. But you can reflect back on it going wow, 959 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 1: you know there were still Jim Crow laws in there. 960 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 1: The whole Medgar Evers thing happened in the sixties, right, 961 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, this was real time going on right at 962 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: the time I was born. But my life has not 963 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:21,959 Speaker 1: witnessed that type of behavior toward people towards well, black people, 964 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 1: notably since that's the area of the conversation. But we've 965 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,839 Speaker 1: experienced such a dramatic improvement in racial harmony over my life. 966 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 1: It's as if that period of time never existed. It's 967 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,760 Speaker 1: almost they brought it back and dusted it off because 968 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't around the way it used to be. The 969 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: left needs to have that angry and that sense that, 970 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: my god, this country is in imperfect place. We've never 971 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 1: made any bet strides past the Jim Crow era or 972 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 1: slavery era. We need to do something about it. I 973 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,359 Speaker 1: think that ignores a lot of progress over the years. 974 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: Let's continue with former vice mayor Christopher smith and I 975 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:55,840 Speaker 1: alway's got a lot more to talk about it and 976 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 1: thank God for it.

Fortunately, mine probably aren't as 1006 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 1: bad as so many struggles from folks that struggle with cancer. 1007 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 1: It's just cancer sucks. But you know, there are a 1008 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: lot of us out here dealing with it. It's not 1009 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: the end of the world. You can be optimistic and 1010 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: positive about it. It's just that you know, some days 1011 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 1: it's going to knock the legs out from undy you. 1012 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 1: And that was certainly yesterday in a bit today, But 1013 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: this too shall pass, you know, what I mean, this 1014 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,280 Speaker 1: too shall pass. 1015 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,839 Speaker 3: That's what that's the point. You're giving those people out 1016 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 3: there that are going through it today and yesterday and 1017 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,399 Speaker 3: during the week. You're giving them hope, and you're giving 1018 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,400 Speaker 3: their family members hope. So keep talking about it, you know, 1019 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 3: don't keep your don't keep your story a secret. But 1020 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 3: back to what you were saying when we went to 1021 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 3: the break, back to our business, say, look, Brian, voter 1022 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 3: ID and requirements of voter ID in Democratic elections are 1023 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 3: not racists. And that's where you were going. And so 1024 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,840 Speaker 3: as we talk about Jesse Jackson's legacy, we have to 1025 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 3: acknowledge that the Democrats in the South, where he was raised, 1026 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 3: where he was born, where he cut his rug there 1027 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 3: in the South, we're all brought to him by Democrats, right, 1028 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 3: whether it was Lyndon Johnson, the president at the time, 1029 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 3: whether it was governors at the time like Wallace, you 1030 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 3: know who said segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. Those 1031 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 3: were Southern Democrats who brought that upon on Jesse Jackson. 1032 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 3: We're living in a town now where voter having an 1033 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 3: ID and poll taxes there's no connection. But what the 1034 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 3: Democrats are trying to do is pull on those emotions 1035 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 3: the Jesse Jackson nineteen sixties, those older African Americans who voted, 1036 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 3: who do vote, who do participate, and they're trying to 1037 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 3: ring that bill, blow that whistle, that that is what 1038 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 3: is happening, and there's nothing farther from the truth, that. 1039 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: Right which goes was the point I want to make, 1040 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: springing from that very common Christopher. Isn't it therefore much 1041 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: in the same way there're suggesting that, I guess black 1042 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 1: people aren't smart enough to be able to get a 1043 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: photo ID. Isn't it an insult to those who lived 1044 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: through Jim Crow to characterize this as something analogous to 1045 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: Jim Crow? 1046 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 3: Yes, it is. And from the party who brought us Jim. 1047 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 3: The ones who are talking about it are the ones 1048 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 3: who brought us poll taxes, right. This is that party. 1049 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 3: This is the party who brought us the ku Klup plan, 1050 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party in the South. Remember, there was a war, right, 1051 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 3: so the North and the South fought right, there was 1052 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 3: a confederacy, this is the reality of it. And there 1053 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 3: were a war around slavery where we would say an 1054 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,040 Speaker 3: estimated six hundred and fifty thousand people, that's an estimate 1055 00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,520 Speaker 3: to historians, it might have been seven hundred thousand, it 1056 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 3: might have been little less. But let's say it was 1057 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 3: two percent of the population of the of the country, 1058 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 3: meaning we'd have to there would have to be six 1059 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 3: million people die, now something like that for us to 1060 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 3: have that same healing of the number of people that 1061 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 3: lost their lives, those were our white brothers, our black 1062 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 3: brothers who died on the battlefield so we can get freedom. 1063 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 3: We have to remind people about this. What you're saying 1064 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 3: is correct. The photo ID law that was passed by 1065 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 3: the Republican Party, the party that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. 1066 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 3: It was affirmed in the thirteenth Amendment by Republicans, with 1067 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,240 Speaker 3: Democrats voting against the thirteenth Amendment. The reality is this 1068 00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 3: is the party now again stepping up and saying we 1069 00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:00,080 Speaker 3: need photo IDs to have a democratic, fair election. And 1070 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 3: I understand that African Americans already have photo IDs, already 1071 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 3: have state IDs, already know how to use the Internet, 1072 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 3: and to suggest differently is absolutely racing. Christopher with the 1073 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 3: Republican Party is articulating right now to our country. 1074 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Let's go back a few years when I was a 1075 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 1: member of the Cincinntia NAACP. When you were president, I 1076 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 1: voted for you in the election. Guests who had to 1077 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 1: produce a photo ID to vote in the NAACP election, Christopher, 1078 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, and everybody else who showed up to vote 1079 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 1: in the election, I want. 1080 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 3: You to reiterate that to every n double ac NUBACP 1081 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 3: president and member of that organization. You all all know 1082 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:50,200 Speaker 3: that you cannot vote in our local election without your 1083 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 3: membership card and your photo ID. 1084 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 1: That's Jim Crow two point out, Christopher, a strange thing 1085 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 1: for the NAACP to embrace. Let's pause when christop back 1086 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 1: for a few more words. First, Odor exit doesn't get 1087 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,479 Speaker 1: rid of the STANCHI of politics station at six fifty 1088 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 1: one for drop Care c DE talk station. Christopher Smitheman's 1089 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: on the horn saving me from my brain fog self 1090 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 1: this morning and offering up some really important things to 1091 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: point out. We talked a little bit of Reverend Jesse 1092 01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Jackson passing this morning at his Black History Month. Of course, 1093 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 1: other issues including well the photo ID requirement there, Christopher, 1094 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: obviously you don't think it's too much of a problem, 1095 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 1: and vast majority has known either since I counsel, though, 1096 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 1: is busily trying to allocate a whole bunch of money 1097 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: and resources to help the local immigration population. Christopher, It's 1098 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 1: just something along the order of three hundred thousand dollars, 1099 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,960 Speaker 1: and they want to fund legal expenses, food and housing, 1100 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: education programs. The list is seemingly endless. And I don't 1101 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 1: know you were on council yet. Three hundred thousand dollars 1102 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to me to buy a whole lot, and 1103 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,040 Speaker 1: you could use all of it up just on legal 1104 01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 1: assistance if that's where you wanted to go. But this 1105 01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: seems to be an endless list proposed by Albion and Jeffreys. 1106 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 1: Your reaction to this, Christopher. 1107 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 3: It's a waste of money, bottom line. I mean, the 1108 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 3: reality of it is, there are other priorities. Number one, 1109 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 3: that ICE federal agents who are great Americans who are 1110 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 3: out here risking their life every day to get bad people, 1111 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 3: gang members, racist pedophilers, people who have you know, have 1112 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 3: DUIs and have killed American families in their cars. These 1113 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 3: are the people that ICE are targeting. They're not targeting Dreamers. 1114 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 3: And so again the Democratic Party, and they're messaging, they're lying, 1115 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 3: they're misleading the public and all to me, this three 1116 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars is yet another flare that city council 1117 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 3: with anti police. You know, they want to reimagine the police, 1118 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 3: so they go after our local police. They go after 1119 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 3: sheriffs because you know, we had a situation where, you know, 1120 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 3: there was some discussion about the sheriff who lost his 1121 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 3: life by the father, and there was some conversation about 1122 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,200 Speaker 3: maybe they were negotiating some payoff for the family. This 1123 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 3: council continues to show us that they don't support law enforcement, 1124 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,240 Speaker 3: and this is just another example of it. You know, 1125 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 3: they're acting as if ice are the bad guys. They're 1126 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 3: not the bad people. The bad people are the criminals 1127 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 3: that they are arresting who happen to be in our 1128 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 3: country illegally. Again, they're targeting the worst of the worst. Now, 1129 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 3: let me say this to you, Brian Thomas. If they 1130 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 3: go into a space where there are other people illegally 1131 01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 3: who are there with gang members guilt by association, you're 1132 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 3: all getting out of here, right. So, certainly that is happening, 1133 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 3: But it's not like they're targeting people. And that is 1134 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 3: what the Democrats are attempting to say is happening. That 1135 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 3: is just absolutely not true. I don't want to live 1136 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 3: next to a gang member. I don't want my daughter 1137 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 3: to go out to get hit by someone who doesn't 1138 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 3: have a driver's license as she goes to school, or 1139 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 3: a drug driver, or any of those things. And if 1140 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 3: it were to happen, I would be so angry. Why 1141 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,360 Speaker 3: is that person in our country? And then if they 1142 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 3: are in our country, why are they not being expelled 1143 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 3: from the United States of America. I just feel like 1144 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 3: the Democrats right now, Brian are more interested in protecting 1145 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 3: criminals than they are law by the Americans, or another 1146 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 3: way to say it. They seem more interested in protecting 1147 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 3: other people and not Americans. And that is also what 1148 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 3: is reflected in city Council. 1149 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly seems to be that way. And everyone 1150 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 1: keeps talking about anecdotally all the Democrats are going to 1151 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 1: win it November. They're going to sweep Congress, they're going 1152 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 1: to take over the House, they're going to take over 1153 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: the Senate. And I think about it based on what 1154 01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: I mean. Maybe I'm just missing something, maybe I'm just 1155 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,600 Speaker 1: living in my own dark echo chamber cave, but I mean, 1156 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 1: it's the American citizen and who's already struggling with problems galore. 1157 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: We could all name them and the problem. And I 1158 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 1: saw this article about the social welfare safety net, this 1159 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 1: this Wall Street Journal article about how unbelievably onerous the 1160 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,000 Speaker 1: debt service already is and it's gonna double in the 1161 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 1: next ten years. This is something that impacts tax paying Americans, 1162 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 1: and we're only further stressing out that system and further 1163 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 1: sending it spiraling out of control based upon the overwhelming 1164 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: number of illegal immigrants who hooked themselves up to it. 1165 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 1: We just can't afford it. 1166 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 6: We just can't. 1167 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 3: And I just want to say to you that, you 1168 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 3: know the voter I d thing when I heard some 1169 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 3: Democrats saying, hey, it's anti woman. No, what anti woman 1170 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 3: is you saying dudes can compete against women in sports? 1171 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 3: Another one that's anti woman? What anti woman is you 1172 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 3: saying a dude can go into a Planet Fitness or 1173 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 3: whatever in their locker rooms and shower with them and 1174 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 3: create unsafe environments. Look, I support the LGBTQ plus community, 1175 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 3: but I don't support men and boys in places where 1176 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 3: women need to be safe. And so there is eighty 1177 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 3: ninety percent of Americans when they vote in the primary 1178 01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 3: and they vote in the general election, they're with you 1179 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 3: and I also on this voter IDP seventy to eighty percent. 1180 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 3: It's polling that Americans are saying they want somebody with 1181 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 3: a photo ID. I need an idea to buy alcohol, 1182 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 3: I need an ID to buy cigarettes. I need an 1183 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 3: ID to fly on a plane. Voting an election. It's 1184 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 3: polling seventy to eighty percent of Americans black or writers say, 1185 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,919 Speaker 3: or Latino or Asian or say it's okay. What we're 1186 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,120 Speaker 3: finding is the Democrats are on the wrong side of 1187 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 3: these issues, and it's going to reflect in the May primary, 1188 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,880 Speaker 3: and it's also going to reflect in November general elections. 1189 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 3: They are not going to take Congress, They're not going 1190 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,120 Speaker 3: to take the Senate. I think things are going to 1191 01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 3: kind of stay where they are. I think it's going 1192 01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 3: to be tight. But the reality of it is that 1193 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 3: the country is saying that the Democratic Party has gone 1194 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,880 Speaker 3: so left that even if you are a Democrat, you 1195 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 3: can't even recognize your own party. 1196 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 1: Well, you heard it here from Christopher Smithman on the 1197 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 1: fifty five care Sad Morning Show.

Still dealing with the aftermats of the chemotherapy, 1210 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 1: I apologize, I'm spinning in my head, but I'm still 1211 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 1: managing trying to get through. And I appreciate Christopher Smith 1212 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 1: and joining the program late in the last hour. Great 1213 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,280 Speaker 1: topics with Christopher and coming up to the bottom of this hour, 1214 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 1: tom'z Auastowski joins a program a list of endorsed candidates 1215 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 1: for the primary, and yes, right there, number one vive 1216 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: A Ramaswamy. Hmmm, irking some but I don't know why. Anyway, 1217 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 1: Tom's got a full list of that he'll be talking 1218 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,719 Speaker 1: about that coming to the bottom of the hour inside 1219 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,000 Speaker 1: Scoop at bright Barton News. Fast forward one hour, Deputy 1220 01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:31,840 Speaker 1: Politics out of Bradley Jay returns. He's going to be 1221 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 1: talking about the latest on the Save Act. It looks 1222 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 1: like we may be heading toward the talking filibuster. Sena 1223 01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,960 Speaker 1: MA Jordy leader Tom Thune said, hey, listen, we're going 1224 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: to have a vote on this. It seems to be 1225 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 1: a question of how you got all the complications that 1226 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 1: go along with this. Complicated it is, though, but again, 1227 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: this shouldn't be complicated because the Democrats should be doing 1228 01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,720 Speaker 1: the will of the American constituents who overwhelmingly think having 1229 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 1: a pho ID for a federal election is no big deal. 1230 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: It's not a problem. It's not Jim Crow two point zero. 1231 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: You can't even make that argument, really, even though Chuckie 1232 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 1: Schumer continues to make it now, bringing in women and 1233 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: insulting women at the same time, saying they're incapable of 1234 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 1: getting a photo I D. But you know, go back 1235 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 1: to Georgia where they did this. Remember MLB canceled the 1236 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: All Star Game because Evil Georgia was implementing Jim Crow 1237 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 1: two point zero. Right, Well, it implemented, it went through, 1238 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 1: it passed, and the following election, more black people showed 1239 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,440 Speaker 1: up and voted in that one than any of them prior. Huh, 1240 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 1: I guess it didn't disenfranchise one of many of these 1241 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 1: issues that are on the wrong side of I do. 1242 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: Going back to the LGBTQ flag thing, you know, Chucky 1243 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,160 Speaker 1: Schumer thinks it's really of vital importance for us to 1244 01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:50,480 Speaker 1: pass a law protecting the LGBTQ flag flying over national monuments, 1245 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: giving it the same status as the American flag. Is 1246 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: that really an issue a high priority for you? 1247 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 4: Why it? 1248 01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 1: Maybe? But he would push for that amid the government 1249 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: shutdown that we're dealing with right now, while they're on 1250 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 1: vacation this week, and while they may very well amid 1251 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 1: cries of oh my god, the work of the Senate 1252 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,479 Speaker 1: is going to be held up. If we have this 1253 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 1: speaking philibuster or the talking philibuster, they could be up 1254 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:25,719 Speaker 1: there for weeks not doing their job. Yeah, And if 1255 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 1: the goal of a representative government that we have here, 1256 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,520 Speaker 1: which we do, is to do the work of the constituents, 1257 01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 1: then we wouldn't even have a government shutdown right now. 1258 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,400 Speaker 1: The Save Act would already be passed. The will of 1259 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,760 Speaker 1: seventy to eighty percent of the American public, regardless of 1260 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 1: political stribe, would be fulfilled. But no, they're fighting over 1261 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 1: the small twenty percent who can't see through the see 1262 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,200 Speaker 1: the forest through the trees of this nonsensical argument that 1263 01:10:53,800 --> 01:11:00,160 Speaker 1: yet the Republicans are incident disenfranchising people. Okay, the other 1264 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 1: thing the Democrats seem to be on the wrong side 1265 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:06,680 Speaker 1: of is in terms of the LGBQ too TQ thing. Again, apologies, 1266 01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:13,679 Speaker 1: I'm struggling the whole tea part the globe. The medical 1267 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 1: associations around the globe, countries recognized, you know, providers of 1268 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,800 Speaker 1: healthcare are coming out against this whole concept of so 1269 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 1: called gender affirming care. Look, it turns out that we 1270 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 1: got it wrong, So perhaps are on the wrong side 1271 01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 1: of that one. And then the whole idea that carbon 1272 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,160 Speaker 1: dioxide is killing us, that argument seems to be going 1273 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 1: the way of the DODO as well. So we had 1274 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 1: this removal of the CAFE standard, the predicate for it anyway, 1275 01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 1: saying that well, carbon dioxide is going to kill you, 1276 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 1: when in fact it's not. A pollutant, is a naturally 1277 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:52,200 Speaker 1: occurring part of our atmosphere that plants dearly love more 1278 01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 1: and more people moving away from that. Why the backcrap 1279 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 1: insanity that gets revealed when you pursue a zero carbon 1280 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: emission strategy. Look at the European Union, they're all comple 1281 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 1: playing about Russia and Ukraine and oh my god, we 1282 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 1: need more resources in there. Who's buying all the Russian 1283 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,599 Speaker 1: gas they are? Why well, virtue signaling we don't want 1284 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,800 Speaker 1: to do it ourselves. We're carbon neutral, but we'll buy 1285 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 1: stuff produced in well, people who don't care about carbon 1286 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,240 Speaker 1: dioxide from those countries and imported here so we can 1287 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 1: say we're guilt free and still burn the gas while 1288 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 1: supporting the military efforts with Russia against Ukraine. Doesn't make 1289 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 1: any sense, does it. How about California, It's like they're 1290 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 1: taking a page out of the European Union's book. They imported 1291 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,599 Speaker 1: a record number of gasoline in November. Why well, because 1292 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 1: they're closing refineries due too not market forces, mind you, 1293 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 1: manipulated market forces brought about by imposing strict regulations. Get 1294 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 1: a load of this. This is hard to believe. Over 1295 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: forty percent of imported gasoline into California comes from the Bahamas. 1296 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Asian nations like Japan and India. Bloomberg News reporting on this, 1297 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:04,839 Speaker 1: citing data from a company called VORTEXA harsh regulations imposed 1298 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,680 Speaker 1: by California politicians read democrats, because I don't think there're 1299 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,880 Speaker 1: any Republicans left in California anyway. They don't have any 1300 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:19,600 Speaker 1: control if there are highest tax on gasoline in America, 1301 01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,439 Speaker 1: a cap and trade program for emissions, all of which 1302 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 1: result in rising energy costs across the state. Welcome to 1303 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,800 Speaker 1: the most expensive gas in the entire nation, standing at 1304 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,400 Speaker 1: five four dollars and fifty eight cents a gallon Californian. 1305 01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's more expensive elsewhere or in different areas 1306 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 1: of California. The national average two ninety two a gallon, 1307 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,719 Speaker 1: with some areas reporting a gallon of gas at around 1308 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 1: two bucks a gallon. See no regulations versus the states 1309 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 1: with massive regulations. So you got two major refineries closing 1310 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 1: in California, Phillips sixty six winding down Voalero, getting ready 1311 01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: to shut the Menisia facility, and doing it at a 1312 01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:05,040 Speaker 1: cost of one billion dollars. They actually paid a billion 1313 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:15,840 Speaker 1: dollars to leave. CEO of America Energy Institute, Jason isaac 1314 01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:19,000 Speaker 1: He said, listen Valera didn't walk away from California lightly. 1315 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 1: It paid more than a billion dollars to leave. When 1316 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:25,040 Speaker 1: a major refinery operator chooses a billion dollar write down 1317 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,640 Speaker 1: over continued operation, that is a clear indictment of California's 1318 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:34,479 Speaker 1: regulatory environment. Really shutting down a refiner to the surprise 1319 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:40,640 Speaker 1: nearly nine percent of the state's gasoline while demand still exists, 1320 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 1: is not a transition strategy. It's a self inflicted supply shock. 1321 01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: The predictable result is higher prices, greater volatility, and increase 1322 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:56,720 Speaker 1: dependence on foreign fuel. See Europeans Union's relationship with weird relationship. 1323 01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 1: I might add an interject with Russia. In California. Twenty 1324 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 1: twenty five, California imported more gasoline from the Bahamas than 1325 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:14,320 Speaker 1: it had in the nine preceding years. Right, the regulatory 1326 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 1: burden is piling up on the refineries. The refineries are 1327 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:23,240 Speaker 1: shutting down. Oh. Lack of interstate pipelines. Pipeline is also 1328 01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 1: a problem. That's a problem everywhere Democrats run states. They 1329 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:27,600 Speaker 1: don't like building pipelines in spite of the fact that 1330 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,680 Speaker 1: it provides reliable, necessary gas. Most notably, when you get 1331 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 1: a massive snowstorm in the middle of winter, people end 1332 01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 1: up dying because well, the lights aren't on, the heats 1333 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:40,479 Speaker 1: not on. Maybe we could use another pipeline. Those pipelines 1334 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 1: get shut down a sub zero temperatures, I learned. So 1335 01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,960 Speaker 1: Bloomberg also reporting that you know, by the way, gas 1336 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 1: should probably or probably will go up another five to 1337 01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:55,599 Speaker 1: fifteen cents a gawn with the newest refinery closure in California. Also, 1338 01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:01,440 Speaker 1: oddly enough, not California requires a specific grade of gasoline 1339 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,760 Speaker 1: right in order to meet their tough regulatory standards, you 1340 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 1: got to have a California mix, more expensive to produce 1341 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,880 Speaker 1: and isn't produced by all refineries. I guess to rely 1342 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,719 Speaker 1: on certain Asian nations to get their gasoline because they 1343 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 1: are equipped to supply the specific fuel for the state 1344 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 1: of California. Welcome to a financial benefit for the various 1345 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 1: Asian nations and the Bahamas, because well, California won't drill 1346 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:33,680 Speaker 1: its own. This is crazy, and I think again, if 1347 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,559 Speaker 1: I had to test the waters hold on my wet 1348 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,799 Speaker 1: finger up in the air, I think fewer and fewer 1349 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:43,599 Speaker 1: people are on the side of this idea. The carbon 1350 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 1: dioxide is killing us. And then there's that pesky thing 1351 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:51,080 Speaker 1: called artificial intelligence. Soaking up massive quantities of power. Apparently 1352 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,439 Speaker 1: we needed to survive in the world. You draw your 1353 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,720 Speaker 1: own conclusions on that, but that's the word that's gotten out. 1354 01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 1: We better be able to compete in AI. We need 1355 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 1: more AI centers of power gobblers, and of course the 1356 01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 1: Trump administration is busily trying to get them to produce 1357 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 1: their own power and setting an example, Yeah, by powering 1358 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: US military base with these next gen nuclear reactors. They 1359 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,599 Speaker 1: literally just flew one out, described as the first time 1360 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,559 Speaker 1: a nuclear reactor was flown on a C seventeen Globe Master. 1361 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 1: They airlifted one the other day from March Air Air 1362 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: Reserve Base in California to Hill Air Force Base in Utah. 1363 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,799 Speaker 1: Its ultimate destination the Utah sen refl Energy Lab for testing. 1364 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 1: They're going to use it to run military bases. That 1365 01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 1: small reactor can generate five megawatts of power. That is 1366 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: enough power for five thousand homes. Michael P. Duffy, under 1367 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 1: Secretary of the War Departments of the Pentagon aims to 1368 01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,439 Speaker 1: build its own energy infrastructure to support future warfare demands 1369 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: that may include AI data centers, direct energy, weapons and 1370 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 1: space and cyber infrastructure. They got to go it alone. 1371 01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: They can't rely on the grid. They need to be 1372 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:03,680 Speaker 1: able to produce their own power, no kidding, as do 1373 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:09,759 Speaker 1: the AI facilities. And last May, Trump signed for executive 1374 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:17,960 Speaker 1: orders accelerating commercial nuclear energy development by right reducing industry 1375 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: regulations and fast tracting new reactors as well as power 1376 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 1: plant licenses, not windmills and solar panels. Energy generation that 1377 01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:36,639 Speaker 1: does well, energy generation, small footprint print, massive production AI 1378 01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,360 Speaker 1: facilities will be able to be powered and probably sufficient 1379 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:43,719 Speaker 1: electricity generated from those commercial facilities to also well feed 1380 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: our emerging and growing demands out here in the world 1381 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:47,840 Speaker 1: where we would just like to have our lights on, 1382 01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 1: the heat on the wintertime, maybe the ac in the summer. 1383 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: Seven seventeen James, MISSISSIPI, James on the phone, If you 1384 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 1: don't mind holding for a moment, I'll be happy to 1385 01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: take your call. I won't seven if you have to 1386 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 1: talk station We the people conventioned Tom's awastwunsked with a 1387 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 1: list of endorsements coming up next in the meantimes, Go 1388 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,880 Speaker 1: to the phones, Mississippi, James, my friend, welcome back to 1389 01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,759 Speaker 1: the morning show. Happy Tuesday to you, sir. 1390 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,800 Speaker 3: Hey, same to you. Come in peace, love everybody and 1391 01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do about it. 1392 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:17,560 Speaker 1: Good attitude. 1393 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 3: Hey, two quick things. The first one we get in 1394 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 3: a digital compass place was building here. Then they said 1395 01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:29,559 Speaker 3: they send it up to the clouds, one of those 1396 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:33,559 Speaker 3: type places. And they at the meeting they said they 1397 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 3: need the equivalent of enough energy to operate five hundred 1398 01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 3: super wallmarts'. 1399 01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:43,759 Speaker 4: That's a whole lot. 1400 01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: That's a lot. 1401 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 3: They came to Meridian then seeked it out and it's say, 1402 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:53,040 Speaker 3: we don't care about your politics, your crime, your schools, 1403 01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 3: your economics. We just need power. So mischief a power 1404 01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 3: company agreed to build them their own substation. Now, of 1405 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:07,120 Speaker 3: course that circulating around how much is the common household 1406 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 3: bill gonna go up for this? But that's a hope. 1407 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:17,400 Speaker 3: Now they claim supposed to bring about ten million dollars 1408 01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:20,639 Speaker 3: a year, and they expose a split it eagle between 1409 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 3: the city and the county, right, and each each year 1410 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,320 Speaker 3: they add another ten up until the eighth year they're 1411 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 3: gonna have eight buildings built here. So you're talking about 1412 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:33,559 Speaker 3: eighty million dollars coming in. 1413 01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:40,760 Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. Well, what's the population Meridian, James. 1414 01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:44,600 Speaker 3: We're right at thirty three thousand. Wow, And like I 1415 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,640 Speaker 3: say the area they got is probably about five to 1416 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:52,600 Speaker 3: six hundred square what you call it? Come about the 1417 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 3: space they take him. Yeah, yeah, about five to six 1418 01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 3: hundred acres because you had two on one side in 1419 01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,080 Speaker 3: three some on the other side. So they shut down 1420 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:08,960 Speaker 3: a major road, go through that area, combine it, and hey, 1421 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,080 Speaker 3: that's where they're building it. Well, man, you talking about 1422 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 3: earth movers, the big dirt movers and all of that 1423 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,800 Speaker 3: coming in. Yeah, a lot of activity going on. 1424 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,960 Speaker 1: Well, it's a lot of construction jobs, at least in 1425 01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 1: the short term. That's a nice positive boost in the arm. 1426 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 1: Maybe get some people involved in the trades and that 1427 01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:28,320 Speaker 1: would be a great thing. And maybe just maybe the 1428 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 1: allocation of Donald Trump's two point seven billion dollars which 1429 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,759 Speaker 1: went to three companies for centterviews and processing plans. Maybe 1430 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:37,720 Speaker 1: that's part of the grant money. I don't know how 1431 01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 1: it's going to be paid for, but it's why I 1432 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,720 Speaker 1: ask you the population of Meridian. I don't think they 1433 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,600 Speaker 1: can expect the thirty three thousand population of Meridian to 1434 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:49,960 Speaker 1: shoulder the burden of that massive artificial or massive plant there. James. 1435 01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,440 Speaker 1: It's got the money's gonna have to come from someplace else. 1436 01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 3: Right, right, But that's still the conversation. How much is 1437 01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 3: our bills going up on that? 1438 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, let me just interject a 1439 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,519 Speaker 1: dose of optimism. If they build a plant, and let's 1440 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 1: just say, theoretically you and the residence of Meritine are 1441 01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: not obligated to pay for the building of the whole thing, 1442 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:15,080 Speaker 1: it could be that your power price, Yet the price 1443 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: of electricity goes down. I mean, if they're generating a 1444 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,800 Speaker 1: ton of electricity, which obviously they plan on doing, there 1445 01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,120 Speaker 1: may be a little spillover love from Meridian and the 1446 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: residents there, maybe at a discount rate. I'll keep my 1447 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 1: fingers crossed that that's possible. To James, That's why I'm 1448 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:32,240 Speaker 1: excited about AI plants being forced to build their own 1449 01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,439 Speaker 1: or rely on their own small modular reactors of their 1450 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: own power production, because if they can satisfy their own 1451 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,719 Speaker 1: internal demands, the likelihood that there's going to be extra 1452 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,679 Speaker 1: power to share with the neighborhood generally is a good 1453 01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 1: thing for all of us because the demand for electricity 1454 01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 1: keeps going up, and of course the powers that be 1455 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,160 Speaker 1: are very slow to try to meet those challenges in 1456 01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,760 Speaker 1: a real time basis, James, thank you so much and 1457 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 1: best of luck with your community. I want to say 1458 01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,599 Speaker 1: congratulations on the un score in the victory. Some may 1459 01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:02,800 Speaker 1: not look at it that way, but in thirty one 1460 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,439 Speaker 1: here fifty five cars the talk station. Very happy Tuesday 1461 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:10,840 Speaker 1: to you. Appreciate the assists this morning. Thank you to 1462 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman in the last hour helped me out as 1463 01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,280 Speaker 1: brain spins from chemo. Tom's Awastowski we the People Convention. 1464 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 1: You find one line of wee the People Convention dot org. 1465 01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back, Tom. I enjoy our conversations and so happy 1466 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,839 Speaker 1: to see you on the rundown this morning, most notably 1467 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: since you brought with you a list of endorsed candidates 1468 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 1: for the primary. We're fast approaching the primary. 1469 01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 6: Tom. 1470 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:29,639 Speaker 1: Good to have you back on the show. 1471 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 6: Oh, great to be with you. Brian, And yeah, this 1472 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 6: is an interesting topic because of the Ohio Republican Party 1473 01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,080 Speaker 6: Central Committee meeting on Friday that where they're going to 1474 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 6: decide whether they're going to endorse some of these candidates 1475 01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 6: or not. That should be quite an interesting meeting on Friday, 1476 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:46,800 Speaker 6: for sure. 1477 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 1: Well, much of the chagrin of Casey Putsch was on 1478 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 1: the program. At least until he started cursing and melted 1479 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,880 Speaker 1: down last week. The Republican Party has already endorsed v 1480 01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,920 Speaker 1: v Ramaswami, and I think he was insulted by that, 1481 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,320 Speaker 1: and they, of course usually don't interject themselves early on 1482 01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,760 Speaker 1: in the decision making process. I guess I'm curious your 1483 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,559 Speaker 1: reaction of how they went ahead in or why they 1484 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 1: may have went ahead and did that. And you obviously 1485 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,320 Speaker 1: on the list here I see prominently upfront vive Ramaswam. 1486 01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:13,280 Speaker 1: He's got your endorsement. 1487 01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, Brian, I actually played a very significant role in 1488 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:22,360 Speaker 6: the endorsement of the Vike last year last summer, and 1489 01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:26,760 Speaker 6: I did a video that I put out that basically 1490 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:30,880 Speaker 6: made the case for endorsing VI Vike Ramaswami to stop 1491 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:36,160 Speaker 6: the Columbus cartel for rigging the election for Jim Tressel, 1492 01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:37,920 Speaker 6: who I thought they were going to put up to 1493 01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 6: run against them, And people can see that video at 1494 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 6: Ohio citizenspack dot org. But the people in the Central 1495 01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:48,880 Speaker 6: Committee actually said that the video I put forward really 1496 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,639 Speaker 6: was what made the difference to convince them to endorse 1497 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,920 Speaker 6: the Vike. And Brian, like you, I'm a tea party guy. 1498 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:57,720 Speaker 6: I'm the leader of the Tea Party in Ohio for 1499 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,960 Speaker 6: the last sixteen years. I hate in in primaries, there 1500 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:06,479 Speaker 6: should be no endorsements. But the problem is it's it's 1501 01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 6: always been a rig game, and he got to play 1502 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,200 Speaker 6: the game to win. And we needed to have a 1503 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 6: vek Ramaswami, you know, as our candidate. And so that's 1504 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 6: why we acted to ask for his endorsement and fight 1505 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,000 Speaker 6: for his endorsement, and we got it. And I'm I'm 1506 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 6: doing that again with people like Marcel Sturbas and and. 1507 01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,760 Speaker 1: People like that this week. Okay, and we'll get to 1508 01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,720 Speaker 1: Marcel Sturbage. I had him on the program last week. 1509 01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 1: I was thoroughly impressed by Marcel. I mean man that 1510 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,639 Speaker 1: is a man of conviction. He's firm on the issues, 1511 01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,600 Speaker 1: he knows where he's coming from, he's strong. So but 1512 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:40,719 Speaker 1: in terms of vik Ramaswamy, I based upon and only, 1513 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,800 Speaker 1: and this is not scientific whatsoever. I see a lot 1514 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,680 Speaker 1: of what seems to be a mounting concern over the 1515 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,200 Speaker 1: fact that vivik Ramaswami happens to be a Hindu and 1516 01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,519 Speaker 1: not Christian, and as if that somehow might impact his 1517 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,400 Speaker 1: politics or how he's going to run the state of Ohio. Tom, 1518 01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Last time I checked, we 1519 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,200 Speaker 1: don't live in a theocracy. I mean, individual religion is 1520 01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,680 Speaker 1: should have real, no material impact on how he or 1521 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,280 Speaker 1: she governs. But maybe I'm wrong on that. Do you 1522 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,880 Speaker 1: think Vivek is having an uphill challenge merely because he 1523 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Christian? 1524 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 6: There definitely are you know, people out there who are 1525 01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:19,679 Speaker 6: expressing that opinion, and many of them are friends of mine. 1526 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 6: Many of them are people I've worked with for years 1527 01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 6: who are on the religious right. And I said to them, hey, guys, 1528 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,040 Speaker 6: every time you see someone getting attacked because they're a 1529 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,160 Speaker 6: Christian who running for office, you you know, you runs 1530 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 6: into defense and say they shouldn't be, you know, judged 1531 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,680 Speaker 6: by their Christian values. And now you're turning around and 1532 01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,719 Speaker 6: trying to tell me that vik Ramaswami should be judged 1533 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,000 Speaker 6: on his Christian values. I said, don't you know it's 1534 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,760 Speaker 6: a little hypocritical. Let's look at the man he's not 1535 01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 6: going to become governor and the man that we teach 1536 01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:53,520 Speaker 6: Hindu in every pre K school in the state of Ohio. 1537 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,680 Speaker 6: So those are the kind of things that you and 1538 01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 6: I have to talk about and get people to just 1539 01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,880 Speaker 6: relax and you know, focus on the issues and the 1540 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,400 Speaker 6: person and not use those kind of things to just 1541 01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:09,680 Speaker 6: really distort your view of what you're voting on. You 1542 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 6: you're voting on what's best for Ohio and really you're 1543 01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 6: voting on what's best for you personally. And when you 1544 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,479 Speaker 6: listen to with vivek Ramaswami has to say, man, there's 1545 01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,920 Speaker 6: a lot of stuff he's saying, it's best for you personally. 1546 01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and anybody speaking his platform, if you just ignored 1547 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:30,680 Speaker 1: the person uttering the words, you be screaming cheers of 1548 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,360 Speaker 1: excitement for that person that happens to be you know, 1549 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:36,559 Speaker 1: a statement's made in a campaign pledge from someone who 1550 01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:38,320 Speaker 1: happens to be into. But then again, I'll go back 1551 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 1: to the fact that he can't make me worship any 1552 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 1: particular religion, nor can he you know, enact in or 1553 01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 1: enshrine in law any given religion. So I think what 1554 01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 1: he stands, where he stands on all the issues is 1555 01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:52,560 Speaker 1: rock solid, at least in so far as conservative politics. 1556 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 6: It's what you and I have won it for how 1557 01:27:55,360 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 6: about a years? Well now I want to endure it. 1558 01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 1: Limited government, free markets, right, Tom z Awastowski, we the people. 1559 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't want that because he's a Hindu and 1560 01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 6: George Jarrows paid for his internship. 1561 01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to ask you. Apparently everyone who speaks 1562 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:14,519 Speaker 1: on we have of VVK is getting paid. Are you 1563 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,280 Speaker 1: getting a check from vv Ramaswami, Tom, because I'm not. 1564 01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that that was an option was out 1565 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 1: there and available for people. 1566 01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 6: I have not gotten a time from vi veke Ramaswami, 1567 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 6: but I'm working my butt off for him, and I 1568 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 6: think there's some good things we're going to be able 1569 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:31,080 Speaker 6: to do together. So yeah, I thought my enborsement of 1570 01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:34,519 Speaker 6: him was pretty clear, and if people go to Ohio 1571 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,760 Speaker 6: citizenspack dot org, they can read it, and I think 1572 01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,679 Speaker 6: it'll make a lot of sense to them out. I'm 1573 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 6: trying to say, this is the once in a lifetime chance, 1574 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,160 Speaker 6: The only chance we ever had to overcome the Columbus 1575 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 6: cartel was to have someone like Trump who could self fund, 1576 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 6: because then they can't own him. That's the vike Ramaswami 1577 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 6: a man. 1578 01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,800 Speaker 1: That is an excellent, excellent point. We'll continue with Tom Zawastaski, 1579 01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,639 Speaker 1: who's next on the list, Oh, Marcel Sturvey as well 1580 01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 1: as Christina Rugner and others. More endorsements from We the 1581 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:10,639 Speaker 1: People Convention after these brief words starting with station seven 1582 01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:12,680 Speaker 1: forty one. If you have KARCD talk station, We the 1583 01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,520 Speaker 1: People Convention dot org shre we find Tom z Awastowski 1584 01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 1: and we got a list of endorsements coming from Tom 1585 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 1: and the crew Michael or Marcel Sturvich who was on 1586 01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 1: my program last week. And I was thoroughly impressed by him, 1587 01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:28,080 Speaker 1: not just his outstanding military record of twenty years, but 1588 01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:33,519 Speaker 1: very very confident. He's got a good record. He's man 1589 01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:37,640 Speaker 1: of integrity. He certainly does not pull punches when it 1590 01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:40,280 Speaker 1: comes to where he is on the positions. So again 1591 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:43,240 Speaker 1: impressed by him. But I know that you the People 1592 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:47,560 Speaker 1: Convention folks, his opponent, Robert Spragge, you endorsed him in 1593 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:51,439 Speaker 1: the past. Why not this time? Tom za Awastowski, what's 1594 01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 1: the difference? 1595 01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 6: Well, you know, first of all, I heard your interview 1596 01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,479 Speaker 6: with Marcel, and I encourage your listeners to go back 1597 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:01,240 Speaker 6: to the archives and listen. Was one of the tightest, 1598 01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 6: you know, presentations by a candidate I may have ever 1599 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 6: heard on the radio. That was an awesome job. And 1600 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,800 Speaker 6: uh and and and that's you know what people should 1601 01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 6: look at. The Central Committee should listen to that. So 1602 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,240 Speaker 6: here's the difference. Roberts Rigg's a great guy. He's he's 1603 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,120 Speaker 6: he's a very you know, he's not a he's he's 1604 01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:21,479 Speaker 6: a politician, but he's he's also you know, a likable guy. 1605 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,400 Speaker 6: He's efficient, you know, he does his job, but he's 1606 01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:29,080 Speaker 6: not an expert in election integrity. Marcel Sturbrige is. And 1607 01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:31,759 Speaker 6: I say the opening line of my endorsement is Marcell 1608 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 6: Sturbrige was the most it may be the most qualified 1609 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 6: person to run for statewide political office that we've ever met. 1610 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,919 Speaker 6: And I think that's true if you think back yourself, 1611 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 6: right to all the people you and I talked to 1612 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:46,760 Speaker 6: and endorsed and stuff. They're good people. They're competent, but 1613 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,120 Speaker 6: they're not experts at what they do. I mean, some 1614 01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,760 Speaker 6: of the people are treasures maybe wherever accountants, some of 1615 01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 6: the attorney generals were lawyers. But this guy is an 1616 01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:59,120 Speaker 6: expert at at election law and that's why they should 1617 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,680 Speaker 6: pick him. And I tried to make the case for 1618 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:05,680 Speaker 6: the Central Committee to endorse him this Friday, but that's 1619 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:10,799 Speaker 6: probably unlikely because he's an outsider, just like the vekas 1620 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,120 Speaker 6: and they're going to have our time with that, and 1621 01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,320 Speaker 6: you showed that in your interview with them. You know 1622 01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,000 Speaker 6: that being an outsider is a threat. 1623 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: Well, I guess it is, but hey, they overcame that 1624 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,920 Speaker 1: challenge when it came to endorsing Vivi Ramaswamy. I think 1625 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,320 Speaker 1: it can be done again, so I don't even think 1626 01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,360 Speaker 1: against Robert Sprague necessarily. But as you pointed out, it 1627 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,920 Speaker 1: is tough to match Marcel Stirwich's game when it comes 1628 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 1: to talking issues and his knowledge on important subject matter 1629 01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,360 Speaker 1: over which he'd have a lot of control in that position, 1630 01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:41,680 Speaker 1: pivoting over we the people canvention endorsement Christina Rogner for 1631 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:46,679 Speaker 1: SEC Ohio State Treasurer. Let my listeners know about Christina. 1632 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,920 Speaker 6: Well, Christina is she's actually from the Akron area. She 1633 01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 6: was in the House, she's a senator currently. She's a 1634 01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 6: real player in the Ohio Right the Life movement. She's 1635 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:02,519 Speaker 6: been a very strong advocate for you know, right to 1636 01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:07,680 Speaker 6: life issues. She's very well known statewide in religious circles. 1637 01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,679 Speaker 6: But I point out in my endorsement that she actually 1638 01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:15,160 Speaker 6: is really qualified because she has an MBA degree in 1639 01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:20,200 Speaker 6: finance and she worked for the global management company Mackenzie 1640 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:23,160 Speaker 6: and Company. And so she actually would be a good 1641 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,120 Speaker 6: treasure because she knows you know, accounting and stuff. Wow, 1642 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,880 Speaker 6: what a con stuff. But most of all, she is 1643 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:34,679 Speaker 6: just a person of unbelievable integrity. I mean, Christina Rougner 1644 01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:37,640 Speaker 6: is as rock solid as anyone you talk about a 1645 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,479 Speaker 6: non politician. She will she does not blow with the wind. 1646 01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,120 Speaker 6: She does not, you know, compromise her values to get 1647 01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:48,080 Speaker 6: your vote. She is who she is. What's astonishing to me, 1648 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,719 Speaker 6: and I think that you, Brian, is that Bernie Marino 1649 01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:56,679 Speaker 6: and jd Vance has have endorsed this Jay Edwards guy 1650 01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:01,920 Speaker 6: who the Ohio Republican Party antioned what two years ago 1651 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,559 Speaker 6: because he's part of the Blue twenty two who took 1652 01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 6: Democrat Union money to steal the House speakership from us. 1653 01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:13,479 Speaker 6: And here's Jade Vance and Bernie Marino endorsing him against 1654 01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 6: Christina Rogner. What the hell? Okay, So you know, I 1655 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:22,240 Speaker 6: asked people to look closely because Christina Rogner is so 1656 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,800 Speaker 6: much better than Jay Edwards. And I just don't know 1657 01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:27,120 Speaker 6: because I'm friends at Bernie Marino. You know, Bernie and 1658 01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:29,400 Speaker 6: I are pretty close. I don't get it. But look 1659 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,320 Speaker 6: at the list of endorsements from Christina. I mean it's 1660 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:36,439 Speaker 6: Rob McCauley, the Center President, it's Matt Husband, the House Speaker, 1661 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,920 Speaker 6: it's you know, a whole list of I think Frank L. 1662 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,920 Speaker 6: Rose and others have endorsed her. So I hope she's 1663 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,200 Speaker 6: going to get the endorsement and she's gonna win that treasures. 1664 01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:49,800 Speaker 1: Well, you just announced those endorsements for her from other 1665 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,760 Speaker 1: very noted notables in their Republican Party. Obviously maybe a 1666 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,519 Speaker 1: foil to Bernie Marina's endorsement. I'm not sure that came 1667 01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,360 Speaker 1: from perhaps many many people just don't even remember who 1668 01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:01,800 Speaker 1: the Blue twenty two are. A short attention span theater 1669 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 1: these days, Tom, that is certainly a possibility, and name 1670 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 1: recognition me sort of trump the whole idea that while 1671 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,960 Speaker 1: the guy was a Blue twenty two, who knows, get 1672 01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:11,920 Speaker 1: your popcorn out wait for it, they're gonna be voting 1673 01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 1: on it. Friday, seven forty six, we'll continue. You got 1674 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,320 Speaker 1: a few more including John Houston made the list, Eric 1675 01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 1: Marin and Carrie Carrie Coleman more talk station seven to fifty. 1676 01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,640 Speaker 1: Here if you got KROCD talk station Brian Thomas with 1677 01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 1: We the People Convention Dot orgs Tomas Awastowski going through 1678 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:32,240 Speaker 1: the Ohio citizens Pack endorsements, which you can find online 1679 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 1: at Ohio citizenspack dot org.

That really doesn't come as much 1682 01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:42,640 Speaker 1: of a surprise to me. 1683 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,840 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, what choice do we have? But I do, 1684 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,599 Speaker 6: you know, make some pretty strong statements that I think 1685 01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,960 Speaker 6: you agree in my endorsement where I'm saying, listen, we've 1686 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:56,040 Speaker 6: had lots of problems with John Houston from the grassroots standpoint, 1687 01:34:56,120 --> 01:35:00,320 Speaker 6: particularly during COVID, But as I said previously, we're voting 1688 01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 6: for what's in our best interest, and what's in our 1689 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,720 Speaker 6: best interest is for us to keep that Senate seat 1690 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,840 Speaker 6: at all costs. So regardless of what your problems are 1691 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,439 Speaker 6: with John Houston, you know we sure as heck don't 1692 01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:14,479 Speaker 6: want shared brown right back in the Senate. And so 1693 01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,200 Speaker 6: it's real simple, folks, You got to vote for your 1694 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,640 Speaker 6: own best interests. We got to protect President Trump and 1695 01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 6: our mega agenda. That's why we endorse John Houston. 1696 01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:24,800 Speaker 1: Don't throw out the good for the sake of the perfect, right, Tom, 1697 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:30,120 Speaker 1: that's right personally, especially when the good. Throwing out the 1698 01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 1: good will result in Yes, that's anyway. Derek Maren's got 1699 01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:38,280 Speaker 1: the endorsement as well from wtpc US House in the 1700 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:38,960 Speaker 1: ninth district. 1701 01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:42,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is a this is an interesting thing. 1702 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,679 Speaker 6: Lots of you know, dynamic of political insider stuff going 1703 01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,960 Speaker 6: on there. The ninth district is the Marcy Kaptor district. 1704 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,599 Speaker 6: She's what you know, been there for forty some years. 1705 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,000 Speaker 6: We should have won that seat two years ago we 1706 01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:58,240 Speaker 6: lost by like three percent. Derek Maren was the candidate. 1707 01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,439 Speaker 6: And so, uh, they redistrict and this affects you in 1708 01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:05,000 Speaker 6: the first and I want to hear your comments about 1709 01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:06,599 Speaker 6: the guys in the first because you notice I didn't 1710 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:10,519 Speaker 6: endorse anybody yet. But when they redistrict did they were 1711 01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:14,280 Speaker 6: supposed to redistrict the ninth, the thirteenth, which is Akron 1712 01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:16,960 Speaker 6: area in Canton, and then the first so that we 1713 01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 6: could win all three of those seats. 1714 01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:19,640 Speaker 2: Well, they didn't do that. 1715 01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:20,760 Speaker 7: I didn't do that. 1716 01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:24,599 Speaker 6: They really redistricted the ninth up in Toledo to make 1717 01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:28,519 Speaker 6: it like a plus and Republican district. And Rob McCauley 1718 01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 6: was supposed to run it before he took the Lieutenant 1719 01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:33,560 Speaker 6: governor's position, you know, with a veke to run for 1720 01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 6: with the dake. So then I'm like, Okay, Derek Maron 1721 01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:39,479 Speaker 6: is leading in the polls. He ran last time, he 1722 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,719 Speaker 6: lost the close race. It's a better district. Dereck Marin's 1723 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 6: a guy. Oh no, no, no, Shazam Bob, you know 1724 01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:51,080 Speaker 6: paduccik Okay, who is a political opera of the state 1725 01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,680 Speaker 6: who it's all about, you know, making the money. He 1726 01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,519 Speaker 6: just brings this twenty eight year old girl who's never 1727 01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:02,160 Speaker 6: run for political office ever before, and announces that she's 1728 01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:04,759 Speaker 6: going to be on the ballot in the ninth district. 1729 01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,720 Speaker 6: And two days after that announcement comes out and we 1730 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,439 Speaker 6: don't know this person from Adam. She's on Laura Trump's 1731 01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:15,040 Speaker 6: TV show on Saturday on Fox, and I'm like, what 1732 01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:18,599 Speaker 6: the heck is going on? And I'm thinking, is Trump 1733 01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:22,920 Speaker 6: gonna endorse this this total political unknown and take Derek 1734 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 6: wearing out. I hope that's not going to happen. Trump 1735 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:30,040 Speaker 6: hasn't endorsed that person yet. But Derek maren is leading 1736 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,040 Speaker 6: captor in the polls. He's leading the primary field in 1737 01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:36,120 Speaker 6: the polls, and we think he's the best candidate to 1738 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:39,559 Speaker 6: beat Marcy Captor, so we've endorsed him, but always political 1739 01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,320 Speaker 6: intrigue because it's all about the money, Brian, It's not 1740 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:45,040 Speaker 6: about you know, what's best for our country or our state. 1741 01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:47,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that the truth? Follow the money and you'll 1742 01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,720 Speaker 1: find the answer usually in most cases. And finally, you've 1743 01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,920 Speaker 1: endorse Carrie Coleman for the US House thirteenth District. Give 1744 01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:56,280 Speaker 1: us an insight about mister Coleman. 1745 01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a one of your brethren. He's a radio 1746 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:04,719 Speaker 6: guy at WNRI WNR in Porge County, but he's also 1747 01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,840 Speaker 6: he's a weather meteorologist. He's been on the Weather Channel 1748 01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 6: and he's been on some of the Cleveland TV stations 1749 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,280 Speaker 6: for quite a long career. And like I said, we 1750 01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:17,679 Speaker 6: were supposed to redistrict the thirteenth so that we could 1751 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:23,120 Speaker 6: win it, and they didn't. They actually gave the Sykes 1752 01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:27,240 Speaker 6: woman whose father has to be Vernon Sykes, who happens 1753 01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,760 Speaker 6: to be the big power in the Democratic Party. Yeah. 1754 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 6: As part of the deal the redistrict the Captor ninth district, 1755 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:37,920 Speaker 6: they gave the Democrats more seats in the thirteenth instead 1756 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 6: of less. So we had a great candidate, Kevin Lachlan 1757 01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:46,599 Speaker 6: who ran last time and he just dropped out. He said, 1758 01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 6: if you're going to do that to me, I'm not 1759 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 6: going to do it. So Carrie Coleman, a local radio guy, 1760 01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,760 Speaker 6: has stepped up and said he's going to run. It's 1761 01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 6: a dark horse situation, but he's a good guy, he's 1762 01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,200 Speaker 6: a good candy. He's going to work hard and what's 1763 01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 6: going to determine is really what Trump and Congress does. 1764 01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,240 Speaker 6: If they do the things that they are expected to 1765 01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:08,040 Speaker 6: do for the economy, we might be able to steal 1766 01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:08,679 Speaker 6: that seat. 1767 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,760 Speaker 1: Amen, brother, I'm with you all day longer that Tom Zawastowski, 1768 01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:14,200 Speaker 1: we the People Convention dot org or again for the 1769 01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:20,240 Speaker 1: endorsements Ohio Citizenspack dot or in a six fifty five 1770 01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:23,640 Speaker 1: carosee the talk station Brian Thomas swishing everyone a very 1771 01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,840 Speaker 1: happy Tuesday, and just tune it in.

Welcome 1780 01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:46,439 Speaker 1: back to the fifty five Carse Morning Show. Bradley J. 1781 01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure talking with. 1782 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,560 Speaker 4: You, Brian, It's great to be with you. Thank you. 1783 01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:52,760 Speaker 1: So let me let me let me just make sure 1784 01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:54,759 Speaker 1: I'm straight on this whole thing. So with the government shutdown, 1785 01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,519 Speaker 1: at least in part, the whole thing is predicated on 1786 01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:00,320 Speaker 1: this Save Act, which is a photo id reques vironment 1787 01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:03,080 Speaker 1: for federal elections. There is a law on the books 1788 01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 1: which says you must be a US citizen to vote 1789 01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,720 Speaker 1: in a federal election. So this doesn't really change anything much, 1790 01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,280 Speaker 1: but it does ensure that people who are voting are 1791 01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,840 Speaker 1: who they say they are. And this, as we all know, 1792 01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:15,080 Speaker 1: is widely embraced by the vast majority of Americans of 1793 01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 1: all political stripes, races, creeds, and callers like a seventy 1794 01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:22,639 Speaker 1: thirty or eighty twenty issue. So they're shutting. They shut 1795 01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,080 Speaker 1: the government down for this, and aren't they all? Also 1796 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:27,320 Speaker 1: the Senate on recess this week as well, so they're 1797 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:28,320 Speaker 1: really not doing anything. 1798 01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,879 Speaker 4: The Senate, I believe comes back in today the houses 1799 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:33,679 Speaker 4: in recent House. 1800 01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:34,200 Speaker 3: But yeah, the. 1801 01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,680 Speaker 10: At least a twelfth of the government or one of 1802 01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:43,719 Speaker 10: the twelve appropriations bills is lapsed right now, so Homeland 1803 01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:46,840 Speaker 10: Security is technically in a government shut down right now. 1804 01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:49,360 Speaker 4: That Stephen Miller and. 1805 01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:52,320 Speaker 10: Other of the President's advisors were prudent enough when passing 1806 01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:56,000 Speaker 10: the Big Beautiful Bill to include a surge of funding 1807 01:40:56,240 --> 01:41:03,000 Speaker 10: for many of the DHS FUNK, including ice border patrol, 1808 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:07,360 Speaker 10: so much of that is going forward. In addition, I 1809 01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:13,639 Speaker 10: believe about ninety percent of Homeland Security is considered essential, 1810 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:17,240 Speaker 10: so it's continuing to go forward like most of you know, 1811 01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:21,800 Speaker 10: your TSA, your Coast Guard, your FEMA, so a lot 1812 01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:25,840 Speaker 10: most of what is encapsulated in this funding is moving forward. 1813 01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:29,680 Speaker 10: It's just another example of the Democrats just pandering to 1814 01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,320 Speaker 10: the radical base that controls them that's calling all the 1815 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,160 Speaker 10: shots for tux humor, because as you say, they will 1816 01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:40,479 Speaker 10: do anything to try to prevent any sorts of changes 1817 01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:44,960 Speaker 10: that would either kick illegals out of the country or 1818 01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:46,200 Speaker 10: stop them from voting. 1819 01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 4: It's really really is remarkable. 1820 01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:51,600 Speaker 1: Is completely remarkable, which leaves us in the weird situation 1821 01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:53,960 Speaker 1: I guess sent of the Majority leader John thom is 1822 01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:58,720 Speaker 1: going to maybe push him toward the talking slash standing filibuster. 1823 01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:02,080 Speaker 1: They could do the nuclear option, which is getting rid 1824 01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,559 Speaker 1: of the sixty vote threshold to move the legislation forward, 1825 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 1: noting that the House has already passed the Save Act. 1826 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,840 Speaker 1: This is in the sentence hands now, So he's not 1827 01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:12,560 Speaker 1: he's indicated he's not keen on doing that, and I 1828 01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:15,519 Speaker 1: guess for some reason I understand it. But flipping over 1829 01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:19,640 Speaker 1: to the talking slash standing filibuster, that means they have 1830 01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:23,519 Speaker 1: to hold the floor basically until they relinquish. This is 1831 01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:28,439 Speaker 1: just talking NonStop for one after another after another until 1832 01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,760 Speaker 1: one side capitulates. Is that really what this boils down to? 1833 01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 1: Bradley Jay? 1834 01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:37,479 Speaker 10: So, look, brad I was a Senate staffer for about 1835 01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 10: seven years or so back in the day. The most 1836 01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:44,400 Speaker 10: valuable commodity in the United States Senate is the calendar. 1837 01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:46,280 Speaker 10: Is such a big deal because there are all there 1838 01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:50,719 Speaker 10: are all these mechanisms that senators have to hold hold 1839 01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:53,880 Speaker 10: up the proceedings. It's it's many of the rules are 1840 01:42:54,720 --> 01:43:00,440 Speaker 10: anachronistic in old fashioned. They work, but it's very compleated 1841 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:04,120 Speaker 10: and convoluted. The way that what we call the filibuster 1842 01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:10,920 Speaker 10: works today, it's really it's an inappropriate use of it. 1843 01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:14,000 Speaker 10: I think our founders would say, there is what is 1844 01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,920 Speaker 10: now a sixty vote requirement. It used to be sixty 1845 01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,160 Speaker 10: seven at one point, I believe it was eighty many 1846 01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:23,400 Speaker 10: many years ago. But to move to a bill, you 1847 01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:25,920 Speaker 10: have what's called or to move towards either a vote 1848 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:29,600 Speaker 10: on final passage or to move towards a vote on consideration, 1849 01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,840 Speaker 10: you have what's called a cloture vote. The way that 1850 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,920 Speaker 10: that works is you have to have now sixty people 1851 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:39,960 Speaker 10: vote to say, well, we are finished debating this. We've 1852 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:43,719 Speaker 10: talked it out. Every side has either four or against, 1853 01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:47,280 Speaker 10: has spoken as much as they want to, so let's 1854 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:52,280 Speaker 10: move to cloture. Let's move towards actually voting on the thing. Well, 1855 01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,400 Speaker 10: but the way that people do that now, even whether 1856 01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:58,519 Speaker 10: or not they're debating, whether they're talking or not, they 1857 01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:02,400 Speaker 10: will just cast vote saying yeah, no, I haven't fully 1858 01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,080 Speaker 10: expressed my opinions on this, I want to talk about 1859 01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:07,040 Speaker 10: it a little bit more, even if they haven't been 1860 01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 10: on the floor to talk about it. It's not the 1861 01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:10,960 Speaker 10: way that the Senate is supposed to work. So what 1862 01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:14,360 Speaker 10: these conservatives are now proposing is well, okay, put your 1863 01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:15,800 Speaker 10: money where your mouth is. 1864 01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,760 Speaker 4: If you say that you want to debate this more, 1865 01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:22,840 Speaker 4: you actually have to be on the floor to debate it. 1866 01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:24,920 Speaker 10: You have to be down on the floor doing this 1867 01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:28,840 Speaker 10: whole Mister Smith goes to Washington style filibuster where you're 1868 01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:32,640 Speaker 10: actually talking. If you and your buddies want to continue 1869 01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:35,479 Speaker 10: to block this from coming to the floor, you have 1870 01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:38,920 Speaker 10: to actually vote. Now, that takes a lot of time, 1871 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 10: and I won't spend a. 1872 01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:43,360 Speaker 4: Day explaining that. 1873 01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:46,080 Speaker 10: The actual rule twenty two of the Senate that governs it, 1874 01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:51,320 Speaker 10: but it can eat in two weeks of the Senate's calendar. 1875 01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:52,160 Speaker 4: That's what happened. 1876 01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,800 Speaker 10: You think of like the civil rights legislation back in 1877 01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:58,479 Speaker 10: the sixties and the fifties, when those debates were going 1878 01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:01,120 Speaker 10: on most of the time that those were killed before 1879 01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:05,080 Speaker 10: ultimately being passed. It is just because these senators ate 1880 01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 10: so much of the Senate's time that the Senate leader said, 1881 01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:09,280 Speaker 10: you know, there's other things that they want to do. 1882 01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 4: So that's what the one of the proposals is. 1883 01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:12,280 Speaker 5: Now. 1884 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:16,280 Speaker 10: I'm a little bit skeptical that senators will do anything 1885 01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:19,160 Speaker 10: to change the rules, even these Republicans who would like 1886 01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,200 Speaker 10: to see the Save Act pass because so many of 1887 01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:25,720 Speaker 10: them uphold the traditions of the Senate, even if all 1888 01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:28,280 Speaker 10: these Democrats have cast aside and the whole game has 1889 01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,240 Speaker 10: changed right now, so it's critically important they pass the 1890 01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:33,439 Speaker 10: Save Act, and I hope they do whatever it's necessary. 1891 01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:35,000 Speaker 4: I would say, even if. 1892 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:37,519 Speaker 10: They go as far as changing the filibuster, because as 1893 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,560 Speaker 10: soon as Democrats get in power, they will change that. 1894 01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,240 Speaker 10: The only reason they didn't a couple of years ago 1895 01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,680 Speaker 10: is because Cinema and Mansion to independents who Caucus and 1896 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,120 Speaker 10: Democrats and are now no longer in the Senate voted 1897 01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:50,519 Speaker 10: against it. 1898 01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:51,960 Speaker 4: But they'll do it the first chance they get. 1899 01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I keep hearing that, And of course, if 1900 01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,560 Speaker 1: history's any guide, that's certainly what's going to happen, or 1901 01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,479 Speaker 1: at least is likely going to happen. So of right now, 1902 01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:03,360 Speaker 1: at least Republicans keeping with traditions sixty votes for closure 1903 01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:07,480 Speaker 1: if they did it that way, and that would foreclose 1904 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,479 Speaker 1: any additional amendments. In other words, we've discussed the bill, 1905 01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:12,680 Speaker 1: it's in front of us, we are voting to advance it. 1906 01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:14,360 Speaker 1: This is what we're voting on. We're not going to 1907 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,680 Speaker 1: do any amendments. It's a straight vote. Am I right 1908 01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:16,880 Speaker 1: on that? 1909 01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,400 Speaker 4: That is one interpretation of the rules. 1910 01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,320 Speaker 10: But there again, this is kind of breaking new ground, 1911 01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:25,240 Speaker 10: and that's one of the reasons why so many of 1912 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:28,360 Speaker 10: these old buddy duddy senators are so uncomfortable with it. 1913 01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:33,120 Speaker 1: But if they do this talking standing filibuster, that will 1914 01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:36,080 Speaker 1: open it up well without I don't suppose there's any 1915 01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,519 Speaker 1: argument that would open up to unlimited amendments, meaning they 1916 01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:42,160 Speaker 1: have to discuss every amendment or at least vote on 1917 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:43,600 Speaker 1: every amendment that comes up. 1918 01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:48,639 Speaker 10: Well, so much of the Senate is proceeds again because 1919 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:51,240 Speaker 10: there are so many time restrictions, so much of what 1920 01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,680 Speaker 10: is done in the Senate proceeds through yuanimous consent. That 1921 01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:58,280 Speaker 10: is how And it was really LBJ who is the 1922 01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:03,280 Speaker 10: first to wield the animous consent in a new way 1923 01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:05,759 Speaker 10: in the Senate. And that's really what governs the modern Senate. 1924 01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:11,439 Speaker 10: So if one, if all one hundred senators agreed to 1925 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:16,120 Speaker 10: say that the sky is purple, they could do that 1926 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:20,320 Speaker 10: in the Senate. So there are some potential workarounds to that, 1927 01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:24,320 Speaker 10: but it would I don't want to say break the 1928 01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,280 Speaker 10: current Senate. But doing things this way would open it 1929 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:30,600 Speaker 10: up to an entirely different way of doing things and 1930 01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:35,680 Speaker 10: moving forward just the daily business. So it's kind of 1931 01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:37,599 Speaker 10: a venture into the unknown. 1932 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:37,920 Speaker 4: Brian. 1933 01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:39,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, going back to the Senate not 1934 01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 1: being able to get its work done and we've got 1935 01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:43,360 Speaker 1: more important things to do. That's almost like even a 1936 01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 1: laughable suggestion. And I'm sorry to be so jaded and 1937 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:48,320 Speaker 1: cynical with regard to the Senate's work, but they really 1938 01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:50,800 Speaker 1: don't seem all that fired up about doing work when 1939 01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:53,120 Speaker 1: they're there. So the idea that they get bogged down 1940 01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:56,000 Speaker 1: in this people standing up and it's not debate, it's 1941 01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,880 Speaker 1: not advancement with the proposition. It's merely standing up and 1942 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:02,439 Speaker 1: filling time most reading phone books and reading cookbooks and 1943 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,679 Speaker 1: doing stupid things just to keep their mouths flapping without 1944 01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:07,639 Speaker 1: even saying anything by way of advancing the debate. 1945 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:09,840 Speaker 4: You're exactly right. 1946 01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,519 Speaker 10: And the Senate, it was once called the world's greatest 1947 01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:15,160 Speaker 10: legislative body, the world's greatest deliberated body. 1948 01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:17,360 Speaker 4: It's not any war. I'll give you an example. 1949 01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:22,800 Speaker 10: When the record was set for the so called filibuster 1950 01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:26,040 Speaker 10: just last year, it was by Corey Booker who spoke 1951 01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:26,720 Speaker 10: on the floor for. 1952 01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:27,599 Speaker 4: Twenty five hours. 1953 01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:31,600 Speaker 10: He wasn't even filibustering anything. He wasn't even trying to 1954 01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:34,360 Speaker 10: stop any legislation from moving forward. 1955 01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:36,360 Speaker 4: He was just giving a long speech. And now they 1956 01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:37,960 Speaker 4: call a long speech a filibuster. 1957 01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:42,040 Speaker 10: But that's indicative of the seriousness with which the Senate 1958 01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:45,000 Speaker 10: legislates right now. And another point about the calendar, anytime 1959 01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:48,559 Speaker 10: of the majority leader says if there's something that they say, oh, well, yeah, 1960 01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:49,439 Speaker 10: we'd like to get to that. 1961 01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:51,760 Speaker 4: There's some business that we're going to get to first, 1962 01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:52,680 Speaker 4: but we're going to get to that. 1963 01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,400 Speaker 10: No, they're just stalling for time because they know that 1964 01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:58,000 Speaker 10: the way that the Senate calendar works, anything that they 1965 01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:01,840 Speaker 10: push until the end, there won't be an appetite in 1966 01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,800 Speaker 10: the Senate to deal with that because of the time, 1967 01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,519 Speaker 10: so that there will just be a vote for cloture 1968 01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 10: or against cloture to kill it. The standing filibuster would 1969 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:16,880 Speaker 10: be a powerful push back against that tool that fun 1970 01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:20,639 Speaker 10: is now using, and that other Majority leaders before him 1971 01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,320 Speaker 10: have used so effectively by just pushing things to the end. 1972 01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 10: If they actually cared about something like the Save Act 1973 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:30,800 Speaker 10: or something that they seditate wanted to get passed, they'd 1974 01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:33,000 Speaker 10: move it up and actually address it and when it 1975 01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:35,160 Speaker 10: comes up, and not postponent to kill it. 1976 01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,240 Speaker 1: Now Bradley JA Deputy Politics saor bright Bart, I realize 1977 01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:40,519 Speaker 1: you and I are politically biased. Nobody their cousin the 1978 01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:43,679 Speaker 1: companies is shocked anyone, But no, I look at this issue, 1979 01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:46,960 Speaker 1: and let's say they move forward the standing filibuster, and 1980 01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:48,840 Speaker 1: they spin their wheels and read their phone books and 1981 01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:50,560 Speaker 1: go through all this time. I guess I'm wondering what 1982 01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:52,519 Speaker 1: the perception in the reaction of the American people are 1983 01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,240 Speaker 1: going to be, particularly given, as we point out time 1984 01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:58,000 Speaker 1: and time and time again, this is a seventy thirty 1985 01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:00,240 Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue with the vast majority of am Americans 1986 01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:02,200 Speaker 1: of all political stripes being in favor of the photo 1987 01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:05,840 Speaker 1: ID and also being insulted when Chucky Schumer comes out 1988 01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:07,639 Speaker 1: and tells people they're too damn stupid to be able 1989 01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:11,120 Speaker 1: to get a photo ID. That's a losing argument. So 1990 01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:16,479 Speaker 1: this exercise and this stupidity of reading phone books, I 1991 01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,840 Speaker 1: guess maybe I'm just being cautiously or overly optimistic. I 1992 01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:23,120 Speaker 1: can't believe it would resonate positively for the Democrats among 1993 01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:26,280 Speaker 1: the American people. Your response to out of your your thoughts, 1994 01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:29,160 Speaker 1: Bradley Jay, Well, yeah, you're right. 1995 01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,280 Speaker 10: A few poll came out recently with eighty three percent 1996 01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:35,519 Speaker 10: of Americans I believe in support of voter ID. 1997 01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:37,639 Speaker 4: I mean, it's pretty common sense. 1998 01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:41,559 Speaker 10: If the standing filibuster was put into action to pass 1999 01:50:41,640 --> 01:50:44,240 Speaker 10: the save back, I think most Americans would say. 2000 01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:46,479 Speaker 4: Yet, well, that makes a lot of sense. But here's 2001 01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:46,760 Speaker 4: the thing. 2002 01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:50,960 Speaker 10: The Democrat Party the actual individual voters, and this cuts 2003 01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:55,960 Speaker 10: across demographics. We're talking about seventy plus percent of different 2004 01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:01,439 Speaker 10: minority groups who support voter ID. However, that is the 2005 01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:06,120 Speaker 10: Democrat voters. The Democrat politicians do not support it, even 2006 01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:07,080 Speaker 10: though their voters do. 2007 01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:08,240 Speaker 4: Now, why would that be. 2008 01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:10,560 Speaker 10: Brian, I think that we both know the answer that 2009 01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:16,320 Speaker 10: it's because, Well, they say that this is about voter suppression. 2010 01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:17,840 Speaker 4: It's not about voter suppression. 2011 01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,800 Speaker 10: It is about it is about voter suppression if you 2012 01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:24,320 Speaker 10: mean suppressing illegals from being able to vote. 2013 01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:25,320 Speaker 4: In American elections. 2014 01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:29,080 Speaker 10: You and I can't vote in France's elections or Somalia's elections. 2015 01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,720 Speaker 10: Do they even have elections in Somalia. I don't know 2016 01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,080 Speaker 10: if they're capable. But this is about keep making sure 2017 01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:38,120 Speaker 10: Americans vote. What the Save Act does is to register 2018 01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:42,120 Speaker 10: to vote, you have to show a passport or some 2019 01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,240 Speaker 10: other like a birth certificate or something like that, and 2020 01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:47,719 Speaker 10: then going forward you have to show a government ide 2021 01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:52,439 Speaker 10: with a photo. That's very yeah, yeah, it's it's very 2022 01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,639 Speaker 10: very much common sense. Most Americans support it that little. 2023 01:51:56,760 --> 01:52:01,920 Speaker 10: The group that doesn't is on capill and its Democrat politicians, 2024 01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:05,599 Speaker 10: because they know that if these illegals, the people voting 2025 01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,160 Speaker 10: in our elections who are not allowed to people voting 2026 01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:12,160 Speaker 10: in multiple jurisdictions, multiple states, if that was done away with, 2027 01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:16,280 Speaker 10: they would lose their power. And I can't think of 2028 01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:24,240 Speaker 10: anything more appropriate and to do away with the filibuster then, 2029 01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:27,200 Speaker 10: and anything more fitting than a vote on the say 2030 01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:30,799 Speaker 10: that that would do just so much to actually restore 2031 01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:33,320 Speaker 10: integrity to America's elections, or maybe introduce it for the 2032 01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:33,840 Speaker 10: first time. 2033 01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:36,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bradley, Jay, you made an excellent distinction between the 2034 01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:39,559 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the Democrats who actually are the ones voting. 2035 01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:43,000 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party the ones is scream bloody hell about 2036 01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:45,200 Speaker 1: threat to democracy. Even though we live in a republic, 2037 01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:48,360 Speaker 1: constitution of republic, it's a representative form of government. And 2038 01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:51,400 Speaker 1: if eighty percent of their own people want this, and 2039 01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:53,400 Speaker 1: they're saying, no, I'm going to shut the government down 2040 01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:56,000 Speaker 1: over basically trying to make it easy for illegal immigrants 2041 01:52:56,040 --> 01:52:58,000 Speaker 1: to vote. I have a feeling that they are a 2042 01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,679 Speaker 1: greater threat to the Republic than the Republicans are, are there, Bradley, 2043 01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:02,439 Speaker 1: that's a. 2044 01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:03,280 Speaker 4: Really good point. 2045 01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:06,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, Democrats get all all Burkeian when they when they 2046 01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:09,800 Speaker 10: talk about this issue, and uh, but you hit them 2047 01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:11,680 Speaker 10: in the fact, in the face with the facts and 2048 01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:14,559 Speaker 10: the polling and that their own voters support that. Uh, 2049 01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:17,240 Speaker 10: they have a hard time, harder time hiding behind there. 2050 01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:22,000 Speaker 10: Uh this faux paternalism where they say that, oh, well, uh, 2051 01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:25,519 Speaker 10: this would be a violation of the Nineteenth Amendment because 2052 01:53:25,640 --> 01:53:29,439 Speaker 10: of a woman has different her married name is different 2053 01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:34,200 Speaker 10: from her from her certificate, and and minorities have trouble 2054 01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:37,800 Speaker 10: getting photo id you. I mean, like it's it's really pathetic, 2055 01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:39,800 Speaker 10: And I mean I would be insulted if I was 2056 01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:43,920 Speaker 10: a woman and her minority and my Democrat politicians were 2057 01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:45,280 Speaker 10: telling me that I didn't have the. 2058 01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,960 Speaker 4: The wherewithal of the ability to to do what every 2059 01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:51,760 Speaker 4: other American sistent has no problem doing. 2060 01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:53,880 Speaker 6: But that's that's the party of the day. 2061 01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:57,600 Speaker 1: It is totally insulting across the board.

I know we have 2083 01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:54,880 Speaker 1: talked so many times, and I share your concern about 2084 01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:58,000 Speaker 1: launching a military strike on Iran. This is regime change. 2085 01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:04,440 Speaker 1: You've outlined many times, how unbelievably explosive, no pun intended. 2086 01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,160 Speaker 1: This would be military bases at risk. The Iranians have 2087 01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:08,960 Speaker 1: a lot of missiles, they can launch a lot of 2088 01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:11,400 Speaker 1: targets close by they can hit. It's going to be 2089 01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:13,680 Speaker 1: real chaotic, it's going to be very bloody, and we're 2090 01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 1: going to lose a lot of human life doing this. 2091 01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:18,960 Speaker 1: And of course I back off and start with the 2092 01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:20,919 Speaker 1: problem that well, I would like to have a declaration 2093 01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,160 Speaker 1: of war from Congress before we start dropping bombs and 2094 01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,360 Speaker 1: entering regime change. But that pesky constitution is always going 2095 01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:28,960 Speaker 1: to be in the background. But as I read the 2096 01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:31,920 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal today Jared Maslin reporting on the economic 2097 01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:35,120 Speaker 1: situation going on in Iran, is it possible that these 2098 01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:40,440 Speaker 1: long term sanctions, which are apparently seriously impacting the Iranians, 2099 01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:43,320 Speaker 1: might be the mechanism to go about bringing about a 2100 01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:46,200 Speaker 1: resolution for this, maybe getting some concessions from the Iranians 2101 01:55:46,240 --> 01:55:48,440 Speaker 1: on missiles, maybe get them to concede on the nuclear 2102 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:51,320 Speaker 1: enrichment program what we've been looking for, at least what 2103 01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:55,240 Speaker 1: we say we're looking for, because basically their currency has tanked. 2104 01:55:56,840 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 1: Shopkeepers can't sell goods at a profit, people can't afford anything. 2105 01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:04,160 Speaker 1: There is a massive amount of economic uncertainty because of 2106 01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:08,400 Speaker 1: that looming potential military threat. With two carrier groups hanging 2107 01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,040 Speaker 1: out in their backyard. I mean, there's a lot of 2108 01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:14,040 Speaker 1: pressure on them, but economically it is a miserable situation 2109 01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:16,600 Speaker 1: going on Iron right now. Is this maybe a pathway 2110 01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:20,800 Speaker 1: to a non warfare resolution of the conflict? I hate 2111 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,000 Speaker 1: to throw it at you that way, but that's where 2112 01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:22,680 Speaker 1: I am this morning. 2113 01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:24,640 Speaker 9: Daniel No, Well, I got we got to start off 2114 01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,480 Speaker 9: first of all and say what is the conflict resolution 2115 01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:31,320 Speaker 9: terms that we want? And you know, some people claim, 2116 01:56:31,760 --> 01:56:34,040 Speaker 9: because that's some of the terms that are being tossed around, 2117 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:37,760 Speaker 9: is is no long range missiles, no support for the proxies, 2118 01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:41,160 Speaker 9: and no nuclear Richmond. But I think that's just a canard. 2119 01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:43,480 Speaker 9: I don't think that that's the issue at all. I 2120 01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:46,520 Speaker 9: think that the reason why people are on the side 2121 01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:49,240 Speaker 9: that warre saying that and a lot of that it 2122 01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:52,800 Speaker 9: comes out of israel Is because they know that Iran 2123 01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:56,120 Speaker 9: can't apply abide by those, so they're just using that 2124 01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:58,440 Speaker 9: as reason to show then will when the fails. Talking 2125 01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,520 Speaker 9: they're in Geneva today talking about that, then they can say, well, 2126 01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 9: we tried everything and now here we go, we're going 2127 01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:05,720 Speaker 9: to have a regime change. To answer your direct question 2128 01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:10,280 Speaker 9: about the economics, first of all, it's important that Bessett 2129 01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:13,160 Speaker 9: went on before the Congress and explained that the only 2130 01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:17,000 Speaker 9: reason that they're in such dire economic conditions today is 2131 01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:21,720 Speaker 9: because we intentionally sank their currency for the purpose of 2132 01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:25,480 Speaker 9: causing this riot that happened. So we're trying to do 2133 01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:28,240 Speaker 9: that to bring them to that point. But the answer 2134 01:57:28,440 --> 01:57:31,680 Speaker 9: is that Iran can't agree to those because if they do, 2135 01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:35,240 Speaker 9: it's literal suicide, and they have acknowledged such. Because if 2136 01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:38,040 Speaker 9: they don't have long range missiles, they can't defend themselves 2137 01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:41,400 Speaker 9: and they are utterly powerless to be completely pulverized and 2138 01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:44,360 Speaker 9: destroyed by Israel or the United States in a future day, 2139 01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,320 Speaker 9: So they can't do that. No matter how bad the 2140 01:57:46,440 --> 01:57:49,880 Speaker 9: economy is. They will they will, I mean eat sand 2141 01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:53,040 Speaker 9: if they have to. For pardon the pun but it 2142 01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:55,440 Speaker 9: is a literal life and death issue for them, so 2143 01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:57,760 Speaker 9: there is no chance that they can agree to that. 2144 01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:00,640 Speaker 9: And therefore I think we're pursuing the own option than 2145 01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:04,560 Speaker 9: there is, which Mark Tiessen on Fox News last night said, Look, 2146 01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:07,120 Speaker 9: this is the issue for Iran, and he said it correctly, 2147 01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:11,000 Speaker 9: submission or destruction. And I think that's the intent, and 2148 01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:13,200 Speaker 9: I think he's right on that. I think the idea 2149 01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:17,080 Speaker 9: is horribly flawed because we're basically sitting the conditions war 2150 01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:19,880 Speaker 9: is the only option. But he's rot that's what we're 2151 01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:20,640 Speaker 9: offering Iran. 2152 01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,240 Speaker 1: Well indulge me for a moment, if I may engage 2153 01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:29,600 Speaker 1: in fantasy land here, Davis, this they can't capitulate. Does 2154 01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:34,160 Speaker 1: that spring from the legitimate fear over Israel attacking them? 2155 01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:37,600 Speaker 1: Does it spring from the religious fundamentalism against Israel Jewish 2156 01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:41,960 Speaker 1: people generally speaking? Is? I guess? I know they instilled 2157 01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:44,040 Speaker 1: the iatola back in what was it seventy nine? They 2158 01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:46,560 Speaker 1: have a very fundamentalist religious order going on there. So 2159 01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:48,920 Speaker 1: is that the predicate for it? Because here's where you 2160 01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,800 Speaker 1: need to indulge me in my fantasy. Let's just say, 2161 01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:54,840 Speaker 1: for the sake of discussion that they realize that they're 2162 01:58:54,880 --> 01:58:57,840 Speaker 1: over a barrel economically. They realize that now maybe they're 2163 01:58:57,880 --> 01:58:59,720 Speaker 1: outgun militarily. They don't want to get into a war 2164 01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:01,360 Speaker 1: per eat end of store because of all the loss 2165 01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:05,880 Speaker 1: of life. Fine, let's just say theoretically you could get 2166 01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:07,960 Speaker 1: them to enter into something like the Abraham Accords, where 2167 01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:10,800 Speaker 1: we want you to be a nice, let's play together neighbor. 2168 01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:14,000 Speaker 1: Like other countries who had a predisposition to be against Israel, 2169 01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:16,680 Speaker 1: they've come into the playground. They're enjoying the benefits of 2170 01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:19,680 Speaker 1: a comfortable relationship without having a wage war. Listen, that 2171 01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:21,800 Speaker 1: could be you. We don't want to attack you, we 2172 01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:23,520 Speaker 1: don't want to kick anybody out. We just want you 2173 01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:26,280 Speaker 1: to not bomb us anymore and live in peace and harmony. 2174 01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:28,680 Speaker 1: I know it's a pipe dream, but if you could 2175 01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:31,400 Speaker 1: convince them that, then they wouldn't be giving up anything. 2176 01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:33,720 Speaker 1: They could still control their country, they just wouldn't be 2177 01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:37,720 Speaker 1: engaging in proxy wars and fundamental funding terrorism. I know 2178 01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Well, here's the problem with that. 2179 01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:46,040 Speaker 9: Iran wants to do that. They are pleading with anyone 2180 01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:49,960 Speaker 9: who will listen to include this morning on some some 2181 01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:51,480 Speaker 9: of the shows that are coming out of the Middle 2182 01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,320 Speaker 9: East today. That's why they're going to Geneva to talk. 2183 01:59:54,440 --> 01:59:57,560 Speaker 9: They still want that very outcome and they are pleading 2184 01:59:57,640 --> 02:00:00,880 Speaker 9: with President Trump to get it. The problem is Israel 2185 02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:04,240 Speaker 9: doesn't want that, so they do because it for what 2186 02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:07,760 Speaker 9: lack it or hate it. Israel has apparently decided that 2187 02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:09,840 Speaker 9: the Net and Yahoo on down. It's not just him, 2188 02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:13,600 Speaker 9: but they said they cannot live with Iran existing, so 2189 02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:16,120 Speaker 9: the only thing they would be satisfied with is the 2190 02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:19,480 Speaker 9: destruction of Iran. And look, Iran doesn't live to attack 2191 02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:21,760 Speaker 9: other countries, despot That's what's claimed all the time. And 2192 02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:25,240 Speaker 9: when you look at the actual record, they never launched 2193 02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:28,840 Speaker 9: any attack directly into Israel until twenty twenty four in 2194 02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:32,200 Speaker 9: response to what they were attacked, meaning from nineteen seventy 2195 02:00:32,280 --> 02:00:35,720 Speaker 9: nine up until twenty twenty four, they had never attacked 2196 02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:38,520 Speaker 9: Israel directly. So this idea of death to Israel and 2197 02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:40,560 Speaker 9: death to America and all that kind of stuff, that 2198 02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:44,640 Speaker 9: is a political slogan because they have been attacked, especially 2199 02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:48,680 Speaker 9: since twenty ten forward, by Israel into Iran. So it's 2200 02:00:48,720 --> 02:00:51,120 Speaker 9: a defensive measure and that's the reality of it. 2201 02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:53,600 Speaker 1: Well, and of course the argument Israel would make and 2202 02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:55,760 Speaker 1: I suppose we along with Israel, since it's such a 2203 02:00:55,800 --> 02:00:58,360 Speaker 1: good friend of ours. Is that well, okay, maybe you 2204 02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:01,440 Speaker 1: haven't directly attacked Israel, but Hesbala and Jimas and these 2205 02:01:01,480 --> 02:01:04,400 Speaker 1: other terrorist organizations. Have you just basically waging a proxy 2206 02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:07,640 Speaker 1: war using those chuckleheads as your military force? 2207 02:01:08,680 --> 02:01:08,800 Speaker 5: Right? 2208 02:01:09,040 --> 02:01:11,280 Speaker 9: Absolutely, yes, And that is what a lot of people claim. 2209 02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,840 Speaker 9: But they claim the opposite or the contrary to that too, 2210 02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:16,760 Speaker 9: and they say that you have been attacking all of 2211 02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:19,040 Speaker 9: these places here, and we have to raise these up 2212 02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:21,480 Speaker 9: because like a lot of this happened in response to 2213 02:01:21,600 --> 02:01:24,920 Speaker 9: Israeli incursion into Lebanon. That's where Hasbola came from, not 2214 02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,560 Speaker 9: just out of nowhere. They came in as a response 2215 02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:30,160 Speaker 9: to the Israeli incursion, and that came up, and then 2216 02:01:30,240 --> 02:01:32,680 Speaker 9: the hoo Thies of course, they were attacked by Israel 2217 02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:36,160 Speaker 9: and Saudi Arabia, of course, and that's one of the 2218 02:01:36,200 --> 02:01:38,440 Speaker 9: reasons there too. So to them it's a matter of 2219 02:01:38,560 --> 02:01:40,920 Speaker 9: chicken egg kind of thing. And both sides think that, well, 2220 02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:43,520 Speaker 9: ours originated first, and then you came and did this 2221 02:01:43,640 --> 02:01:44,640 Speaker 9: other thing, etc. 2222 02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:45,960 Speaker 1: And vice versa. 2223 02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:48,360 Speaker 9: And so you have a situation right now where both 2224 02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:52,000 Speaker 9: sides have profound distrust from the other side, and something's 2225 02:01:52,040 --> 02:01:54,080 Speaker 9: got to change if we're ever going to live in peace, 2226 02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:57,320 Speaker 9: and both sides have to accept the existence of the other. 2227 02:01:57,440 --> 02:02:00,360 Speaker 9: That means Iran has to accept the issue existence of 2228 02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,160 Speaker 9: Israel and vice versa. And right now I don't see 2229 02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:06,720 Speaker 9: either party willing to do what's necessary, and so war 2230 02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:08,680 Speaker 9: seems to be the only thing left. 2231 02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:13,240 Speaker 1: Well, if the United States refocused its effort on Israel, 2232 02:02:13,440 --> 02:02:16,840 Speaker 1: saying listen, Israel, your hardline stance on eradicating Iran, it's 2233 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:19,520 Speaker 1: a non starter. Look what's happened here, Look what we're doing. 2234 02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:22,480 Speaker 1: And I would argue, at least, I think Daniel Davis 2235 02:02:22,480 --> 02:02:25,960 Speaker 1: from my perspective, if that were, if this military action 2236 02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:28,280 Speaker 1: were to occur, and apparently we're going to be involved 2237 02:02:28,280 --> 02:02:30,800 Speaker 1: with it, we risk destabilizing the Middle East in so 2238 02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:33,720 Speaker 1: far as wrecking the progress we made with the Middle East. 2239 02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:37,040 Speaker 1: Abraham Accord countries, because I have a feeling that they 2240 02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:38,760 Speaker 1: don't want this conflict to start either. 2241 02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:42,600 Speaker 9: You are one hundred percent spot on correct. That is 2242 02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:46,839 Speaker 9: exactly right. If the United States just used its leverage 2243 02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,040 Speaker 9: on Israel and said, look I get it, y'all hate 2244 02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:51,560 Speaker 9: each other, I can understand that, but we're not going 2245 02:02:51,640 --> 02:02:55,240 Speaker 9: to get into a situation where the US military, a 2246 02:02:55,480 --> 02:02:58,200 Speaker 9: third of our entire US Navy is a raid right 2247 02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:00,600 Speaker 9: now and a good portion of our air power throughout 2248 02:03:00,600 --> 02:03:02,720 Speaker 9: the Middle East to do what Israel wants to do 2249 02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:05,840 Speaker 9: in Iran, and we're talking about taking the lead, even 2250 02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:08,440 Speaker 9: not even cooperating, and we are going to be the 2251 02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:11,160 Speaker 9: ones that take the line's share of casualties. And we 2252 02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:13,760 Speaker 9: should not take these casualties on something that may not 2253 02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:18,000 Speaker 9: even succeed, because understand that Iran to succeed has to 2254 02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:21,320 Speaker 9: just not be destroyed. All they've got to do is survive. We, 2255 02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:24,080 Speaker 9: on the other hand, have to have a victory, so 2256 02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:27,000 Speaker 9: our standards are much much higher and much more difficult 2257 02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:30,360 Speaker 9: to achieve. We should not risk that because it would 2258 02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:33,280 Speaker 9: destabilize the region. And you are also right on the 2259 02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:36,560 Speaker 9: fact that I'm talking to Saudi Arabi u a e Qatar, 2260 02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:39,520 Speaker 9: all these people who have in the tea with Iran 2261 02:03:39,960 --> 02:03:43,040 Speaker 9: said that would They don't want the instability that would 2262 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:45,520 Speaker 9: come along with that. So yes, there is a lot 2263 02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:47,520 Speaker 9: of room to do exactly what you said, and that's 2264 02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:49,160 Speaker 9: what President Trump should do in my view. 2265 02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:51,640 Speaker 1: Okay, it sounds like a logical and reasonable step or 2266 02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:54,920 Speaker 1: measure to take before we go into a full on war. 2267 02:03:55,840 --> 02:03:58,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Daniel Davis Deep Diye find his podcast wherever 2268 02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:00,760 Speaker 1: you find your podcast, and of course tune in Tuesday. 2269 02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:05,560 Speaker 1: At this time, the Kremlin said, look, well he will 2270 02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:08,680 Speaker 1: halt airstrikes if Zelenski allows to vote okay for one day. 2271 02:04:08,840 --> 02:04:10,840 Speaker 1: During the vote, they will halt airstrikes. So it doesn't 2272 02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:12,240 Speaker 1: seem to be much of a concession, and I think 2273 02:04:12,240 --> 02:04:14,040 Speaker 1: it's a logical and reasonable thing for them to say. 2274 02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:18,920 Speaker 1: But meanwhile, Zelenski is asking for you the United States 2275 02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:21,520 Speaker 1: to back security guarantees, and it sounds to me like 2276 02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:24,760 Speaker 1: this is putting the car before the horse, or vice versa. 2277 02:04:25,200 --> 02:04:27,280 Speaker 1: Some are suggesting, I think Donald Trump is suggesting, No, 2278 02:04:27,360 --> 02:04:29,840 Speaker 1: we need to work out these land swaps. We need 2279 02:04:29,840 --> 02:04:33,880 Speaker 1: to get the territorial discussions resolved in a discussion over 2280 02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:37,360 Speaker 1: piece before we can entertain the idea of whatever, if 2281 02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:41,040 Speaker 1: any security guarantee we're going to be providing in terms 2282 02:04:41,080 --> 02:04:43,240 Speaker 1: of the negotiation strategy. I'm a little confused on that. 2283 02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:47,680 Speaker 1: But if we are going to be providing some security guarantee, 2284 02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, uh, okay, this looks like we're gonna have 2285 02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:52,000 Speaker 1: boots on the ground and we're going to be trying 2286 02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:54,560 Speaker 1: to keep the peace between you know, Ukraine and Rush 2287 02:04:54,600 --> 02:04:56,400 Speaker 1: on a going forward basis. I don't want to bite 2288 02:04:56,480 --> 02:04:58,240 Speaker 1: off that challenge. I think we're a little short on 2289 02:04:58,360 --> 02:05:01,760 Speaker 1: money generally speaking, a military resources generally Daniel Davis, So 2290 02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:05,320 Speaker 1: where is this going, if anywhere, sir YEA. 2291 02:05:05,520 --> 02:05:08,000 Speaker 9: Where it's going to is a military defeat for Ukraine 2292 02:05:08,040 --> 02:05:10,040 Speaker 9: and a military victory for Russia. That's where it's heading 2293 02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:13,760 Speaker 9: because the West at large, and primarily that means Ukraine 2294 02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:16,720 Speaker 9: and Europe are almost guaranteeing that's going to be the 2295 02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:19,360 Speaker 9: outcome because they will not agree to the things that 2296 02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,760 Speaker 9: Russia has been saying from twenty twenty two forward April 2297 02:05:22,840 --> 02:05:25,560 Speaker 9: twenty twenty two forward what has to happen to bring 2298 02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:29,000 Speaker 9: this war to an end, and they've never changed their conditions. 2299 02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:32,760 Speaker 9: Number one is the territory that you mentioned. Number two 2300 02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:37,520 Speaker 9: is what they call denocification, demilitarization and no NATO that 2301 02:05:37,720 --> 02:05:39,640 Speaker 9: those are the things that they say are the core 2302 02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:42,320 Speaker 9: causes of the war and that they have to be resolved. 2303 02:05:42,640 --> 02:05:45,120 Speaker 9: Ukraine and Europe are saying we're not going to solve 2304 02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:46,400 Speaker 9: any of those. In fact, we're going to have a 2305 02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:49,280 Speaker 9: bigger army at the end than we did at the beginning. 2306 02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:52,080 Speaker 9: Nobody's going to tell us anything about what's going to 2307 02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:55,400 Speaker 9: happen with the governing. We'll have our own elections, but 2308 02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:57,360 Speaker 9: we're going to have everything that we want and no 2309 02:05:57,400 --> 02:05:58,920 Speaker 9: one's going to tell us differently. And then we want 2310 02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:02,600 Speaker 9: security guarantees with European boots on the ground in Ukraine, 2311 02:06:02,880 --> 02:06:05,800 Speaker 9: which is a complete non starter. That's why Russia went 2312 02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:08,160 Speaker 9: to war in the first place, to avoid ergo. They 2313 02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:11,480 Speaker 9: will never willingly agree to that. So if you can't 2314 02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:14,440 Speaker 9: even get past that first fundamental point, then the only 2315 02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:18,240 Speaker 9: option left to Russia is to continue its military operation 2316 02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:22,240 Speaker 9: until it eventually succeeds, and eventually they will just by 2317 02:06:22,320 --> 02:06:26,040 Speaker 9: inertia and overall force of numbers. It's a math problem, 2318 02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:29,120 Speaker 9: and Ukraine in Europe seem oblivious to it. 2319 02:06:29,160 --> 02:06:31,240 Speaker 1: I don't understand, and this has been the ongoing problem 2320 02:06:31,280 --> 02:06:33,080 Speaker 1: you and I've been struggling with for a long long time. 2321 02:06:33,120 --> 02:06:36,720 Speaker 1: Where's this magical new army going to come from? Daniel Davis? 2322 02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:39,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, you just look at the numbers. 2323 02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:43,720 Speaker 9: France and Germany and uk are the primary people we're 2324 02:06:43,720 --> 02:06:46,240 Speaker 9: talking about here, and if you took all and I 2325 02:06:46,320 --> 02:06:49,480 Speaker 9: mean all of their deployable force, you might get sixty 2326 02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:52,920 Speaker 9: seventy thousand. And are those countries going to completely denude 2327 02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:56,080 Speaker 9: themselves of their defense capability by putting them on the 2328 02:06:56,200 --> 02:06:59,040 Speaker 9: ground in Ukraine? I mean that's even theoretical, look that 2329 02:06:59,160 --> 02:07:02,040 Speaker 9: if they ever got into but you see that even numerically, 2330 02:07:02,360 --> 02:07:04,840 Speaker 9: why would they do that? And how would they afford 2331 02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:07,720 Speaker 9: that indefinitely? I mean there's where's the money. 2332 02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:08,080 Speaker 4: Going to come from it? 2333 02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:12,000 Speaker 9: It's irrational even from their perspective. And yet that's where 2334 02:07:12,040 --> 02:07:12,320 Speaker 9: we are. 2335 02:07:12,720 --> 02:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Well maybe as long as they had the United States 2336 02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:16,880 Speaker 1: sitting military bases in their backyard, they'll expect us to 2337 02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:19,360 Speaker 1: be their police force while they send their troops to Ukraine. 2338 02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:23,080 Speaker 9: Just the thought, oh well, ruby out the kobosh on 2339 02:07:23,240 --> 02:07:27,040 Speaker 9: that in Munich for sure, thinking that this is the 2340 02:07:27,120 --> 02:07:29,320 Speaker 9: reason why what value do we have being a member 2341 02:07:29,320 --> 02:07:30,960 Speaker 9: of NATO if they don't even have an army to 2342 02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,760 Speaker 9: defend themselves, or US pursuing to a defense treaty, it's 2343 02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:38,560 Speaker 9: just a Daniel Davis always love talking with you man. 2344 02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:41,000 Speaker 1: Every Tuesday here fifty five krs the talk station beginning 2345 02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:42,880 Speaker 1: at a thirty The Daniel Davis Deep Dive again search 2346 02:07:42,960 --> 02:07:45,879 Speaker 1: for his podcast wherever you find yours.

Hey do you remember a few 2360 02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:23,280 Speaker 11: years back, Hank Thompson, I think the guy's name is 2361 02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:27,240 Speaker 11: Congressman was concerned about the island of Guam was going 2362 02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:30,240 Speaker 11: to capsize. We didn't like spread the military out better. 2363 02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Yeah that yeah, of course his name came up. Go ahead, No, 2364 02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:38,320 Speaker 1: I'll just say, of course I do. I can never 2365 02:08:38,520 --> 02:08:41,320 Speaker 1: unforget that one. He serves as my greatest illustration of 2366 02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:44,760 Speaker 1: why you and I should never ever ever put faith 2367 02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:48,720 Speaker 1: in our elected officials, because many times they're just outright 2368 02:08:48,840 --> 02:08:50,960 Speaker 1: idiots and don't know anything they're talking about. Jay, But 2369 02:08:51,120 --> 02:08:51,520 Speaker 1: go ahead. 2370 02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:55,200 Speaker 11: Well, I think he may have redeemed himself a little 2371 02:08:55,240 --> 02:08:58,320 Speaker 11: bit because I see his name as in the Epstein files, 2372 02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:02,200 Speaker 11: which means I think he must have if he was 2373 02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:06,120 Speaker 11: on Epstein's island, he overcame his fear of islands capsizing. 2374 02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:09,880 Speaker 11: So I am proudly disprayanted to displaying my T shirt 2375 02:09:09,960 --> 02:09:14,160 Speaker 11: that says Hank Thompson strong. Good for him? And how 2376 02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:17,000 Speaker 11: good must something be on Epstein Island to attract a 2377 02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:19,840 Speaker 11: man who was afraid of an island capsizing? Oh, do 2378 02:09:20,240 --> 02:09:21,240 Speaker 11: potentially be there? 2379 02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:25,680 Speaker 1: So the question should have been characterized rather than if 2380 02:09:25,760 --> 02:09:29,560 Speaker 1: we put more military installations on gwam and more buildings 2381 02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:31,840 Speaker 1: on gwams, do we run the risk of it capsizing? 2382 02:09:32,240 --> 02:09:34,720 Speaker 1: It should be if we put more teenage girls on 2383 02:09:34,880 --> 02:09:37,160 Speaker 1: Epstein Island does it run the risk of capsizing? 2384 02:09:38,400 --> 02:09:41,720 Speaker 11: Well, he certainly overcame his fear whenever it was teenage girls. 2385 02:09:41,880 --> 02:09:45,600 Speaker 11: I should see him trepidaciously stepping off that airplane off 2386 02:09:45,640 --> 02:09:50,120 Speaker 11: of Epstein's airplane. Well so, so kudos do Hank Thompson. 2387 02:09:50,440 --> 02:09:52,600 Speaker 11: Maybe we can add this to your merchandise store. You know, 2388 02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:54,920 Speaker 11: we talked before about having a shoelace and call that 2389 02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:58,680 Speaker 11: a fifty five arc ankle bracelet. I think Hank Thompson's 2390 02:09:58,680 --> 02:10:00,040 Speaker 11: strong T shirt would. 2391 02:09:59,800 --> 02:10:00,480 Speaker 3: Go with that. 2392 02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:03,840 Speaker 1: I'd love the idea and I appreciate the levity as 2393 02:10:03,880 --> 02:10:06,080 Speaker 1: we end the morning show today on this Tuesday, Jay, 2394 02:10:06,120 --> 02:10:09,320 Speaker 1: thank you very much, which also allows me an opportunity 2395 02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:11,640 Speaker 1: to spring forward and add her to the list who 2396 02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:18,680 Speaker 1: her Alexandero Casio Cortes yep, vying with Representative Thompson, perhaps 2397 02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:24,480 Speaker 1: the dumbest person in Congress. Anyway. You may have seen this. 2398 02:10:27,920 --> 02:10:33,480 Speaker 1: She's at the Munich Security Conference. Yes, Alexander Casio Cortes 2399 02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:43,800 Speaker 1: in New York, displaying her well geopolitical chops. Question, would 2400 02:10:44,040 --> 02:10:46,640 Speaker 1: and should the United States commit troops to defend Taiwan 2401 02:10:46,680 --> 02:10:51,960 Speaker 1: if China were to move on the island democracy straightforward question, 2402 02:10:53,200 --> 02:10:55,600 Speaker 1: one of many politicians have to field on a regular basis. 2403 02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Recognizing that she'd be dealing with international affairs and geopolitical matters, 2404 02:11:00,160 --> 02:11:02,560 Speaker 1: she exposed herself to this type of question. I think 2405 02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:05,880 Speaker 1: it's certainly a fair game question. All right, ma'am, you've 2406 02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:08,240 Speaker 1: expressed political aspirations. You want to be a president of 2407 02:11:08,240 --> 02:11:11,160 Speaker 1: the United States of America. Let's talk about uh, your 2408 02:11:11,200 --> 02:11:14,280 Speaker 1: your diplomatic jobs, would and should the United States commit 2409 02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:16,040 Speaker 1: troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move on 2410 02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:22,920 Speaker 1: the island democracy ready translate for me? If you will answer? 2411 02:11:24,080 --> 02:11:26,800 Speaker 1: And as I've read this, I did not see the quote, 2412 02:11:27,040 --> 02:11:29,040 Speaker 1: but apparently, at least in court of the recounting for 2413 02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:32,000 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, it took over thirty seconds to 2414 02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:33,560 Speaker 1: provide this response. 2415 02:11:35,480 --> 02:11:35,680 Speaker 3: Um. 2416 02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:40,000 Speaker 1: You know, I think that, uh, this is such a 2417 02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, I think that this is a um, this 2418 02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:47,160 Speaker 1: is of course a very long standing um policy of 2419 02:11:47,240 --> 02:11:48,080 Speaker 1: the United States. 2420 02:11:48,680 --> 02:11:48,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 2421 02:11:49,200 --> 02:11:51,320 Speaker 1: And I think what we are hoping for is that 2422 02:11:51,440 --> 02:11:53,600 Speaker 1: we want to make sure that we never get to 2423 02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,280 Speaker 1: that point, and we want to make sure that we 2424 02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:58,880 Speaker 1: are moving in all of our economic research and our 2425 02:11:58,920 --> 02:12:03,000 Speaker 1: global positions to avoid any such confrontation. And for that 2426 02:12:03,160 --> 02:12:15,120 Speaker 1: question to even arise close quote crystal clear, isn't it? Wow? 2427 02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:23,560 Speaker 1: I think that speaks volumes volumes anyhow, just one of 2428 02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:26,600 Speaker 1: many fun soundbites from maybe next President the United States 2429 02:12:26,640 --> 02:12:29,320 Speaker 1: of America. Alexander Casio Cortez, and the journal points out, 2430 02:12:29,360 --> 02:12:30,640 Speaker 1: we could be in a real word to hurt if 2431 02:12:30,640 --> 02:12:34,640 Speaker 1: that could happen. The can conclude with American allies are 2432 02:12:34,680 --> 02:12:37,640 Speaker 1: weary of having to put out mister Trump's diplomatic fires, 2433 02:12:37,640 --> 02:12:41,680 Speaker 1: from Greenland to capricious tariffs, but navigating a turbulent Trump 2434 02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:44,600 Speaker 1: term may be remembered as the House as halcyon days 2435 02:12:45,120 --> 02:12:48,880 Speaker 1: for the free world if the United States ends up 2436 02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:57,400 Speaker 1: with President aoc A and that anyhow, uh So, we're okay, 2437 02:12:57,440 --> 02:12:59,760 Speaker 1: we're shut down. It's all over. Save act of a 2438 02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:01,720 Speaker 1: majority of Americans won it. And I'm going to go 2439 02:13:01,760 --> 02:13:04,760 Speaker 1: back to my commedy made earlier. Democrats screaming Donald Trump 2440 02:13:04,840 --> 02:13:07,280 Speaker 1: is a threat to democracy, threat to democracy, threat to democracy. 2441 02:13:07,480 --> 02:13:09,640 Speaker 1: They're shutting down. They shut down the government at least 2442 02:13:09,680 --> 02:13:14,200 Speaker 1: part of it. They're standing firm, insulting people of color 2443 02:13:14,280 --> 02:13:18,760 Speaker 1: and women, minorities, generally speaking, the poor. Everyone's lumped into 2444 02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:21,120 Speaker 1: the category that they're incapable of getting a photo ID 2445 02:13:21,280 --> 02:13:23,800 Speaker 1: when all of them at least I'm overwhelming a bunch 2446 02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:25,920 Speaker 1: of them saying no, I can get one. Look, I've 2447 02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:29,320 Speaker 1: got one. Christophers Smitheman was on this morning it, reviinded him. 2448 02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:31,760 Speaker 1: I was a member of the NAACP back when he 2449 02:13:31,840 --> 02:13:34,560 Speaker 1: was president. I had to present my photo ID to 2450 02:13:34,680 --> 02:13:36,520 Speaker 1: ORC to a vote in the Cincinnti chapter of the 2451 02:13:36,600 --> 02:13:40,320 Speaker 1: NAACP election to vote for Christopher Smitheman. That rule still 2452 02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:43,840 Speaker 1: in effect, apparently not a problem, and of course the 2453 02:13:43,920 --> 02:13:45,680 Speaker 1: polling reveals that it isn't a problem for the vast 2454 02:13:45,720 --> 02:13:48,520 Speaker 1: majority of black people and women and other minorities. They 2455 02:13:48,600 --> 02:13:51,240 Speaker 1: can get the ID. Is this the hill the Democrats 2456 02:13:51,240 --> 02:13:52,920 Speaker 1: are going to die on? Are we going to be 2457 02:13:53,080 --> 02:13:57,000 Speaker 1: listening to a speaking filibuster, a standing filibuster for the 2458 02:13:57,080 --> 02:14:04,400 Speaker 1: next I don't know how many weeks over this. If 2459 02:14:04,440 --> 02:14:06,760 Speaker 1: they are in fact in favor of the republic that 2460 02:14:06,840 --> 02:14:09,080 Speaker 1: we are in and that they are in belief of, 2461 02:14:09,240 --> 02:14:11,520 Speaker 1: and think that Donald Trump represents some threat to the 2462 02:14:11,640 --> 02:14:14,040 Speaker 1: representative form of democracy we actually have here, not a 2463 02:14:14,080 --> 02:14:16,920 Speaker 1: real democracy, but a representative democracy, then they're the ones 2464 02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:20,880 Speaker 1: that are ruining it. Rarely, I mean, how often these 2465 02:14:20,960 --> 02:14:25,640 Speaker 1: days does something come across this so fully supported as bipartisan. Hell, 2466 02:14:25,720 --> 02:14:29,120 Speaker 1: the mainstream media will describe a bill as bipartisan if 2467 02:14:29,160 --> 02:14:31,480 Speaker 1: you get two Republicans to join with the Democrats or 2468 02:14:31,520 --> 02:14:34,520 Speaker 1: vice versa. Oh, look, two Democrats join with the Republicans. 2469 02:14:34,560 --> 02:14:38,160 Speaker 1: It's bipartisan. But when you have seventy to eighty percent 2470 02:14:38,280 --> 02:14:40,800 Speaker 1: of people of both, well, I'll say both political stripes 2471 02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:43,640 Speaker 1: of all political stripes, regardless of race or ethnicity or 2472 02:14:43,640 --> 02:14:49,320 Speaker 1: anything else, agree upon something that is definitionally a bipartisan issue. 2473 02:14:52,760 --> 02:14:56,480 Speaker 1: Vote on it. Let's say about the photo ID. And 2474 02:14:56,520 --> 02:15:00,120 Speaker 1: if they vote against it, just ask yourself why it 2475 02:15:00,240 --> 02:15:02,400 Speaker 1: really because they think women can't go out and get 2476 02:15:02,400 --> 02:15:06,920 Speaker 1: a photo ID that they meet the requirements of that 2477 02:15:09,040 --> 02:15:11,720 Speaker 1: or as it boils down, the only logical and reasonable 2478 02:15:11,760 --> 02:15:14,200 Speaker 1: explanation you can come up with, No, this isn't Jim 2479 02:15:14,280 --> 02:15:17,760 Speaker 1: Crow two point. Oh you moron Schumer. You tried that 2480 02:15:17,880 --> 02:15:20,720 Speaker 1: argument in Georgia. How'd it work out for you. This 2481 02:15:20,920 --> 02:15:23,200 Speaker 1: is so you can make it easier for people who 2482 02:15:23,240 --> 02:15:26,320 Speaker 1: are not lawfully allowed to vote in this country. It 2483 02:15:26,520 --> 02:15:29,560 Speaker 1: is unlawful for an illegal immigrant to vote in a 2484 02:15:29,680 --> 02:15:33,400 Speaker 1: federal election. This just makes sure there's one more step 2485 02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:37,200 Speaker 1: in place to make sure that doesn't happen, because apparently 2486 02:15:37,400 --> 02:15:40,160 Speaker 1: it does.
