1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: On fifty five KRC the talk station. 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 2: Five o five and fifty five k r C the 3 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: talk station series Happy Wednesday. 4 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: Some say, no idea, what's you know what? 5 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: Neither to what Happy Wednesday? Brian Thomas right here, glad 6 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: to be and glad to see Joe streck Ory belongs 7 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 2: and glad to see the rundown this morning on a Wednesday. 8 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: That means seven o five The Big Picture with Jack Adverton, 9 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 2: Always love him and Jack on the show today. Democrats 10 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: and the Power of Pain. Of course, I think you 11 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: can read into what that's all about, bringing the government 12 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: to a shutdown, hoping that the pain allows them to 13 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: get a win in terms of what they want. But again, 14 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: say what you want about the Continuing Resolution maintaining funding 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: at twenty twenty four levels. I understand why Congressman Massey 16 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: wasn't happy about that, but ultimately it strategically did work out. 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: The Republicans held fast. They had no the Democrats really 18 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: had no argument. I mean, all of the things they 19 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: were angry about they put into place. I mean, this 20 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: is just the American people apparently saw this, and I 21 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: think the Democrats woke up with that reality. Why was 22 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: there the end of the supplements at the end of 23 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: this year. Democrats, that's right, one hundred percent. Democrats voted 24 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: for that. They knew, they knew that they were going 25 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: to win the presidency. That's where that came from. There 26 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: is no doubt in their minds. And maybe you look 27 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: at Arctic Frost and other of the all the other 28 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: lettered agencies undermining Donald Trump and making things up and 29 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: trying to convince the American people that he was something 30 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: or as something that he's not. I don't know, but 31 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: the bottom line, you voted for Donald Trump overwhelmingly. And 32 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: of course those deadlines that the Democrats put in the 33 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: legislation didn't go anywhere. It's law. Just find the circumstances 34 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: shrining this whole shutdown just be quite comical anyway. And remember, 35 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: in voting for Donald Trump, you voted for those subsidies 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: to end. I think, and I know the American people 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: probably weren't paying that close attention and that one issue 38 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: was not what drove them to the polls. But nonetheless, 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 2: Donald Trump did not campaign on extending the supplements for Obamacare. 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: So if you'd taken the time to look at that reality, 41 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: then you might have been not a factor that into 42 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: the decision making on whether or not to vote for Trump. 43 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: But one can only logically and reasonably conclude that one 44 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: must assume that every American voter knows everything about the 45 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: outcome of the election and what that might mean. A 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: vote for Donald Trump certainly was not going to result 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: in the extension of expansion of or Obamacare, most notably 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: with those benefits going to illegal immigrants. So anyhow, they 49 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: bring on the pain because of what they brought about, 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: and that pain obviously was the result of Democrats action. Now, 51 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: if you can't get your airline flight and those are 52 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: going to continue, these problems are going to continue, then 53 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: make sure you just don't pull your finger at Donald 54 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: Trump because it would be unlogical, illogical, and unreasonable. There 55 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: you go, anyways, struggling to find something to kick the 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: program off. That's why I love phone calls. You can 57 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: feel free to give you a call for it's something 58 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: you want to talk about five one, three, seven, four, nine, 59 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two to three 60 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: talk or go with time play fifty on eight and 61 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: T phones. Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity during an 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: empower Youse seminar tomorrow night, beginning at seven pm. Ohio 63 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: needs a reset. Too many governments. That's the topic of 64 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: the conversation. We'll get a little insight to that with 65 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: Donovan and Neilis we always hear from at seven thirty 66 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: on a Wednesday. That's happening today Adam Hardage, former CIA 67 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: ops officer. Wow, this could be fun. He's a combat veteran, 68 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: former CIA operations officer, nationally recognized voice on leadership, national security, 69 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: and the future of America's children in an AI driven world. 70 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: He speaks a lot on things today on the Morning show, 71 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: the latest on the Jay sixth pipe bomb investigation, and 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: then one of the listeners brought that up just the 73 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: other day. They have video footage and the artificial intelligence 74 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: analysis of that video footage suggests that they have identified 75 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: with ninety four to ninety eight percent accuracy that the 76 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: January sixth pipe bomber planner was a member of the 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 2: Capitol Police Force and then segue over to working for 78 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: the Central Intelligence Agency. So I'm looking forward to hear 79 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: what Adam has to say about that. That'll take place 80 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: at eight h five. Hold on cough button, of course, 81 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: it's Wednesday, Judge enal Paula Tana reill be a controversial discussion. 82 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: Can the president disrupt speech? That's the title of his 83 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: of his column, and he refers to the President Trump's 84 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: son of the National Security Presidential Memorandum with number designating Antifhah. Now, 85 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 2: as he writes, purports to designate the ideology of ANTIFA 86 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: as a domestic terrorist organization, directing federal law enforcement to 87 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: disrupt gatherings and well get rid of the supporters. Now, 88 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: he I think maybe overstates the designation because I counter 89 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: because ultimately it's free speech. And consider this Antifah a 90 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: bunch of leftists. They have their Marxist ideology. They can 91 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: scream Marxism all day long, and that is protected by 92 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: the First Amendment the United States Constitution. And that's where 93 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: I think the primary focus of Donald trum or of 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: judgment politanist criticism of Trump's National Security Presidential Memorandum number 95 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: seven designated them as a domestic terri organization. But you 96 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: can't do that, he points out, and I think I 97 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: agree with him on this. You can't do that just 98 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: because of what they say. But he said in the 99 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: column that government officials have I believe I'm trying to 100 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: find the words. Have said that Antifa is an ideology, 101 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: not an organized group, and I counted. I said, listen, 102 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: I've read a lot of things which suggest that Antipha 103 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: is in fact an organized group. Now I do say 104 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: that I didn't break this down as much when I 105 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: was talking to when I've sent back my message or 106 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: my questions and Napolitanic God Brian wake up, because I'm 107 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: sure there are people of communist Marxist ideology who support 108 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: and praise what Antifa is doing. Those people would be 109 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: speaking their mind and engaging in free speech. But if 110 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: you start organizing criminal activity, that's where speech then may 111 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: become actionable against an organization. So if you are organized 112 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: together under the umbrella of a Marxist political philosophy, and 113 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: you engage in and coordinate criminal actions to further your ends, 114 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: the ends being the well tearing down in the United 115 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: States of America, that's your ultimately goal. So that would 116 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: be coordinated criminal activity under the banner of a political ideology. 117 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: Of course, political speech is the most protected speech, so 118 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: you got to kind of blur the line between, you know, 119 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: criminal activity and just free speech. But if you are 120 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: organized and your organization suggests and supports criminal activity and 121 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: more and criminal activity is performed by these member members 122 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: of Antifa, That to me is really no different than 123 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: any other organized crime. And I asked him, I said, well, 124 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: you know, under those circumstances, and I know you say 125 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: that they have been deemed a political philosophy not an organization. 126 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: But if that were not true, an Antifa organized and 127 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: in further and serve their goals committed. Isn't that at 128 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: least rico two or more people together for the you 129 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: know againting together for the purposes of committing criminal acts. 130 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: So if you can trace the money and the organization 131 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: and the structure, and maybe some of the written instructions 132 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: or instructions that have gone out to the members of 133 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: this organization telling them to commit criminal acts, throw, you know, 134 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: disrupt the police, hit the police, throw smoke, bombs, whatever, 135 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: then that to me falls into Rico no different than 136 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: if it was the mafia mafio. So the Gambino crime 137 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: family said, what's the difference if you label them a 138 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: domestic terrorist organization or you label them the mafia or 139 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: the Gambino crime family. The only difference is the political 140 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 2: Antifa organization while you know, waving around their First Amendment 141 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: right to free speech, they're still committing coordinated criminal acts. 142 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: Under my factual scenarios I presented it, the mafia not 143 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: advocating for the downfall of America, but and committing criminal 144 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: acts in the name of wining their own pockets. You 145 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: can label them a criminal organization because that's what they're doing. 146 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 2: The distinction gets a little bit complicated though, again when 147 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: you go back to what antiphile wants, which is under 148 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: the banner of a political philosophy implicating the First Amendment. 149 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: You know, the Gambino crime family can't claim First Amendment 150 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: rights to go commit crime. They're not out there advocating 151 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: for they're allowance for their being allowed to commit crime. 152 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: So I'm going to get into that with him a 153 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: little bit. I hope we can muddle through that because 154 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: I'm still curious. He didn't respond to that component of 155 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: the question. He just responded that the FBI director, former 156 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: FBI Director Ray is the one who testified that Antifa 157 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: is an ideology not an organization, and I think he's 158 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: the one that was behind Arctic Frost. And it's getting 159 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: ready to send back an email to the judge saying, 160 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: you know, just so you know, that guy doesn't carry 161 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: a whole lot of weight in terms of his opinion 162 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: with my listening audience. So that should be a fun conversation, 163 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: of course, Judge of paul A Tunnel one and eight 164 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: thirty Bob Wetter is going to join mister humanitarian himself 165 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: a Newport Bridge lighting and wish tree program. It's that 166 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: time of year, holiday season is fast approaching, and the 167 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: wish tree has been a Bob Wetter launched this concept 168 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: back in the eighties. So you put a tree up, 169 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: you have little ornaments hanging from it. You grab an ornament, 170 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 2: you buy the gift that's on the ornament, you return 171 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: it to where the tree is, or you shoot it 172 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: right over to Bob and that gift goes to someone 173 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: in need. So again, Bob Wetter is always looking out 174 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: for those living on life's margins in the form of 175 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: the wish tree. So, man, it's been going on for 176 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: a long time, and I'm happy to bring that to 177 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 2: everybody's attention. We'll do that at the end of the 178 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: program here again five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty 179 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: eight two three talk pound five fifty on at and 180 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: t phone. Well, the building and the government show showdown 181 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: survived key hurdle yesterday. It looks like the doors are 182 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: going to be opened, but don't expect your airline flight 183 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: to be on time. That's going to take a while 184 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: to to sort through. At least that's what I've been 185 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: reading this morning. Stick around plenty to talk about coming 186 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: up five to sixteen right now, fifty five karsed talk. 187 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 3: Station fifty five KARC. 188 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: Five nineteen couple in five twenty. If you've got Karosee 189 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: dot com and you can't listen alive, he don't over there. 190 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: Get you try Harbdia, I have listened to material wherever 191 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: you happen to be. Daniel Davis Deep Dive Inside Scoop 192 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 2: with Bright Bart News Bradley j Jeffrey Pastor. Was that 193 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: really interesting that Joe got him on the rundown. He's back, 194 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,599 Speaker 2: he's out of prison. He sounds like he's been rehabilitated. 195 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: The criminal justice system always paid lip service to the 196 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: idea that well, in addition to punishing those that commit 197 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: crimes and to act as a deterrence for others who 198 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 2: might consider committing crimes, we get him in prison. We 199 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: can rehabilitate them and how often does that happen? Like 200 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: what never? Well, maybe there's your example. He said he 201 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: did learn a lot about himself. He came to the 202 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: realization he could be a better person, and with the 203 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 2: assistance of all people, PG Sittingfeld who did he did 204 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: spend time with and apparently interacted with PG quite a bit. 205 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: So if you interested it all on that the podcast 206 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: over at fifty five care sea dot com. I wish 207 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: the man no ill will. Obviously he made mistakes, but 208 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: in talking with him and you realize just the reality 209 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: of even being in a minimum security federal prison, you 210 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: don't have your liberties. You are limited in the amount 211 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: of time you can talk with your spouse, will your 212 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: spouse leave you during that period of time. And to 213 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: be left laying in prison, locked up, or even wandering 214 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 2: around the grounds, not free to leave and pick up 215 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: the phone whenever you want to. You're left wondering what's 216 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: going on out in the world. This is the kind 217 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: of thing that why prison just scares the living hell 218 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: out of me. No freedoms, no liberties. You have a life. 219 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: You had a life outside of prison, and it continues 220 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: for those outside of prison. You have no involvement with 221 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 2: those folks that you'd love dearly, So there's your detern effect. 222 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: Think about that, for we might go ahead and commit 223 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: a crime. Anyway, as I mentioned, bipartisan deal and the 224 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: government shutdown advanced through the House Rules Committee yesterday actually 225 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: late overnight. They apparently arguing back and forth for hours 226 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: and hours. So it's a fully believed that this will 227 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: pass with nearly all Republicans once it goes for a 228 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: full vote, and that's the next thing. So they're going 229 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: to do that today, they say the panel, which is 230 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: the committee that has to move this out of committee 231 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: to put it to the floor for a full vote. 232 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: So they lasted more than six hours. Apparently Democrats wanted 233 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 2: some amendments. Amendments which included, haha, extending the COVID nineteen 234 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: era enhanced Obamacare subsidies. Hey can we add that on? Note, 235 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: how many times have we been telling you, no, this 236 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: isn't going to be an add on, We're not going 237 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: to continue to subsidies. What is the point of this shutdown? Anyway? 238 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: So that obviously didn't happen. Well, they continue to dry 239 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: as far as snap though Supreme Court said nop, you 240 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: don't have to fully fund the SNAP benefits. Obviously one 241 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: of the lever points to get people to move forward 242 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: to open the government back up. People were upset that 243 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: they weren't getting their SNAP benefit's forty one million people 244 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: get them. So now for the time being, they're not 245 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: going to be fully funded according to the US Supreme 246 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: Court ruling, which was not whether it was no elaboration 247 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: on the ruling. Court extended until midnight or eleven fifty 248 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: nine pm tomorrow. The administrative stay it granted on November seventh, 249 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: it blocked a lower court decision ordering the Trump administration 250 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: to use some contingency fund money to at least partially 251 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: fund SNAP. So complicated litigation process, Supreme Court previously kept 252 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: the stay against that order. The partial fund order issued 253 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: by a lower court blocked that waited around for the 254 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: full opinion from that court, which came out on Sunday, 255 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: thus lifting this day. And now it's back in place 256 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: because it landed in the lap of the Supreme Court, 257 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: which put it back in place again until tomorrow night 258 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: at midnight. Now here's where I think it's an interesting 259 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: concept because I always wondered, how could a judge get 260 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: involved in the exclusive purview of Congress, the power of 261 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: the purse, the judiciary and the government. Lawyer said the 262 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: judiciary did not have the power to compel the administration 263 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: to pay for SNAP, and the funding lapse was poison 264 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: resolve resolved as Congress move forward. Now you know, okay, 265 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: you can make that point in court. Look, they got 266 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: it all worked out. Snap's going to be fully funded, 267 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: that's part of the agreement. But you didn't know that 268 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: when this order first came down. Does the judiciary have 269 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: the power to order the federal government to tap into 270 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: funds that were not specified for SNAP and force the 271 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: government to use those unspecified funds to fund at least 272 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: in part SNAP. I hadn't run across to anybody making 273 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: the argument that no, that that interferes with the with 274 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: the division of the separation of powers. Clearly that was 275 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: in play yesterday, and it was noted to the to 276 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. So they issued an order. The Unsigned 277 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: did not provide reasons for the decision, and again just 278 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: kicked the can over till tomorrow night at midnight. Basically, 279 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: also your air travel I mentioned and alluded to it 280 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: a moment ago. Apparently there's an organization out there called 281 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: Airlines for America. It's an industry trade group represents America 282 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: and Delta Southwest and United They issued a warning that 283 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: you know what, they may get the government back running, 284 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: but it's going to be a while to unravel this 285 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: Charlie foxtrot that the Democrats unleashed on America, saying the 286 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: airlines reduced flight schedules cannot immediately bounce back to full 287 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: capacity right after the government reopens. It will take time 288 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: and there will be residual effects for days. Noting that 289 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: with Thanksgiving travel period beginning next week and the busy 290 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: shipping season around the corner. And this is a shot 291 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: to Congress. I guess the time to act is now, 292 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: but perhaps to you, if you're planning on flying on 293 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: an airplane, maybe the time to act for you is 294 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: now too, because you may still be impacted by it. 295 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: The FAA previously ordered flights to be cut by four 296 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 2: to ten percent. That was on November seventh. Because of 297 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 2: the air traffic controllers not showing up, flight reductions went 298 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: from four percent to six percent on Tuesday. Now they're 299 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: expected to grow to ten percent on Friday, notwithstanding whether 300 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 2: the government gets back open or not. They say on Sunday, 301 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: one in ten scheduled flights did not take off, ten 302 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: thousand trips delayed. So I don't know whether Donald Trump's 303 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: threats to the air traffic controllers who've been calling into 304 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: work that he might have their job. I don't know. 305 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if that ten thousand dollars bonucy promise 306 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: can even be delivered. I don't know where he gets 307 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: the money to say he can give ten thousand dollars 308 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: to air traffic controllers who show up A little problem 309 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: ironing out the details on that. But they did a 310 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: survey approximately sixty four percent of travelers will cancel their 311 00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: trip entirely. If cancelations continue. They say seventy two percent 312 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: of those survey would bypass flying all together in favor 313 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: of other forms of transportation. It's survey done by something 314 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 2: called beach dot com. I laughed at the latter one 315 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 2: because I'd like to avoid air travel at all possibilities. 316 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: If it's going to be at six or eight hour 317 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: drive less, I'm driving, and that's under the best case 318 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: scenario with flying an airplane. So there are options to 319 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: flying on an airplane, so anyway, it ain't over till 320 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: it's over. And it's not quite over yet. Keep your 321 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: pop going out and plan ahead five point twenty seven 322 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: right now, got local stories coming up, some interesting ones 323 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: as well. But I prefer phone calls as always, so 324 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 2: feel free to give me a call.

It does, and it's spreading, which is a 338 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: good thing, right on. 339 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 4: Right on, and it should spread because I mean, we 340 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 4: we have we have seen another example of these idiots 341 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 4: doing stuff to hurt this country and to hurt the 342 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 4: citizens of this country. And of course, right on Q 343 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: they're gonna blame everybody else instead of you know, taking 344 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 4: taking the responsibility. I mean, why would why would they 345 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 4: take the responsibility? I mean this, this was a big 346 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 4: screw up on their part. They failed miserably, and I 347 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 4: am I again I'm still hasn't been final, but it 348 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 4: looks like it's going to happen. I'm very glad that 349 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 4: the Republicans stood together and stood strong and didn't cave 350 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 4: in yeah to these ridiculed this demands. So I think 351 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: everything selling place this time for them to be able 352 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 4: to do that. 353 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: Well, they were able to because they took the one 354 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: out of any or any argument the Democrats might have had. 355 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 2: That's why, at least knowing that continuing resolution. While I 356 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: hate the idea of keeping Biden era funding levels, the 357 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: only thing the Democrats would have been able to argue 358 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 2: is if that continuing Resolution had some cuts in it 359 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 2: and they could screen bloody murder about five dollars worth 360 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: of cuts from government being the impetus behind them refusing 361 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: to move forward with it. So yeah, sorry, sucks to you. 362 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: It was your funding levels, we're approving them. It was 363 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 2: your deadline to cut off the subsidies. There you go, 364 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: You're living with it. So sucks to be you come 365 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: up with a better argument. They didn't. They couldn't. 366 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And unfortunately, you still have people out there 367 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 4: that are ignorant enough to believe that it was the 368 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: Republicans that that created the healthcare crisis. Oh, I mean, 369 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 4: that's that is ridiculous. I mean, when you when you 370 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 4: pumped so much government money into something, the prices are 371 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: just going to go up. Yeah, it's you know, it's 372 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 4: like if you if you go up on the roof 373 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 4: of your house and jump off, you're going to hit 374 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: the ground. It's that simple. And these people just want 375 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 4: to act like reality doesn't exist. If they say it's 376 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 4: gonna work, then that means, oh, well it's working. No, 377 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 4: it's not well and doesn't work like that. 378 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 2: And the part of the rus in all this, and 379 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: I've said it a bunch of times, but it seems 380 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 2: to be worth saying again. Because you get a subsidy 381 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 2: doesn't mean the premium that has gone through the roof 382 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 2: went away. It keeps getting more and more expensive because 383 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: Obamacare is a costs of failure. The money goes directly 384 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: to the evil insurance companies who the Democrats relish. When 385 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: people blow the brains out of board members and CEOs 386 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 2: of evil insurance companies. But you know, the evil insurance 387 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: companies are the ones that get the primary benefit of this. 388 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 2: I used to work for Anthem. It's under a different 389 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 2: name now, and this when I when I left Anthem, 390 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: the stock price is like ninety five bucks or something. 391 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: It's like four hundred or five hundred dollars now. And 392 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 2: you know, I just I'm not I'm not accurate right 393 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: now in the current trading price. But the medical insurance 394 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 2: carriers out, their stocks have all gone up dramatically. Why Obamacare. 395 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: I mean, there's your answer, COVID. 396 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 4: Healthed a little bit too, didn't it that you more 397 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: mandatory government forced things that us And as soon as 398 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 4: that happens, the price goes up. Oh you have to 399 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 4: have this. Oh wow, we're going to charge your triple, 400 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 4: your quadruple. Whatever. It's just the way it goes. That's 401 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 4: why we're we're you know, those of us who are 402 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 4: who are trying to get limited government, less government. That 403 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 4: there's a reason for that. You get the government out 404 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 4: of any industry, the prices are going to go down. 405 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 4: Get regulation out, get ever, I'll get them out of it. 406 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 4: Let the market take care. 407 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 2: Of itself, you know, And that's one of the reasons 408 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: why at least you know when you when you when 409 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: you look at it on its face. The idea, if 410 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: you're going to get money from government, that it shouldn't 411 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 2: go directly to the insurance company because they have no 412 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: motivation to increase efficiency or lower prices. You put in 413 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 2: the hands or the pockets of the actual people who 414 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: do have budgets, who do have to live within certain means, 415 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: they're going to allocate that resource more conservatively. They're going 416 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: to look out into the world and ask for an 417 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: insurance policy that's less money. Insurance companies out there then 418 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 2: have incentive to compete amongst each other because there are 419 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 2: a limited finite amount of dollars that the government has 420 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: handed to a person that they have to fight for 421 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 2: that person's business. How about a lower price policy that 422 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: maybe provides better benefits in the guy down the street 423 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 2: who's offering something comparable but more expensive. Market forces. Amen. 424 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 4: And if you want to go out and buy funions 425 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 4: with your money, don't be smirched the quality of funions. Now, 426 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 4: maybe mountain dew we could do without, but every once 427 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: in a while, funians coming handy those are some good snacks. 428 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: So I can't remember I got a kick out of it. 429 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 4: I've been meaning to say something about it because I 430 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 4: remember as a kid walking to school stopping at a 431 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 4: seven to eleven and getting a bottle of popping a 432 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 4: bag of funyions like Gayla. It was part of my 433 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 4: nutritious breakfast. There might be a reason why I'm fat today. 434 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 4: So I don't know, just going to go anyway. As always, people, 435 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 4: when you when you talk to your friends and neighbors 436 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 4: and you want to explain things to them about why 437 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 4: this Democrat stuff isn't working and you want to like 438 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 4: let them know what's wrong with it, make sure you 439 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 4: finish my saying, don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian. 440 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: Thanks Tom, appreciate the uh taking the weight off my 441 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 2: shoulders at five point thirty. Almost every single day could 442 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: hear from you. You know what I tell you. Don't 443 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 2: have to give Tom the five point thirty segment. Anybody 444 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: can call on the program five on three seven two 445 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: three talking Now. I'm a desperate but I do enjoy 446 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: the debate and the discussion in the exchange because I 447 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: don't necessarily have all the ideas to talk about in 448 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: front of me. I have to pick them. Maybe there's 449 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: something you'd like to discuss. I will discuss these stack 450 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 2: has stupid coming up next in the an absence of 451 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: phone calls. But right now I want to mention, since 452 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 2: we're tune laughing about a couple of Joe Strekkers' editorial 453 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: comments on some of the articles that he printed out. 454 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 2: Dude dodged a bullet Joe Strecker's assessment of this stack 455 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: of stupid article with which I agree completely. Thirty four 456 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: year old woman who was dumped after ten years of 457 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 2: dating says she's looking for financial compensation from her ex 458 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: boyfriend for stealing her child bearing years. Person Writing on 459 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: Telegraphs Money Moral Monday Advice column, she thinks the boyfriend 460 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: should now pay for her IVF or egg fertilizing after 461 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: he broke up with her. Woman wrote, he tells me 462 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: he feels at thirty eight is though he still has 463 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: a decade of enjoying his lifestyle and powering through with 464 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: his career, and he's not ready for marriage and children, 465 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 2: but he knows it has become a priority for me, 466 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 2: So he is off here. I am at thirty four 467 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: eggs twitching ready for the marriage and parenthood's stage of life, 468 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: but unexpectedly single and emotionally devastated. I'm tipping into the 469 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: furious phase of the grief cycle because I feel as 470 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: though he owes me big time, and I want him 471 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: to pay. 472 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 5: So. 473 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: She had made some careers choice sacrifices to accommodate her 474 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 2: ex's ambitions. She claims they verbally agreed that he would 475 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: be the primary earner if they have children. Notably, that 476 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: never happened. She said, now I feel like these compromises 477 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: have left me vulnerable, and I'm seeking compensation. Surely he 478 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: should have some responsibility for helping me mitigate the damages 479 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: to our plans caused by his change of heart and 480 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 2: broken promises. The columnists, it's like a dear abby thing. 481 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: It's important to shift your mindset from seeking compensation from 482 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: him to investing in your own resilience IVF and egg freezing. 483 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: You are expensive, and it is natural to feel he 484 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: should contribute since you shared life choices of your timing. 485 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: But if he's unwilling, the legal system will not force 486 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: him exactly, of course, inviting speculation. Why hewse she waited 487 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: around ten years for him to move forward, defecate or 488 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 2: get off the receptacle. That might have been a conversation 489 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: you might want to have with him. Yeah, he made 490 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: your bad. You lie in it. You missed an opportunity. 491 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 2: Had ten years to move forward with that one. You didn't. 492 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: Michigan teenager hospitalized after with a punctured lung after being 493 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 2: stabbed by a forty year old woman at a kid's 494 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: foot locker store. Why because the woman thought the girl 495 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: called her broke after her credit card declined at the 496 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: cash register. Nineteen year old Sunnya Jenkins said she was 497 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: stabbed multiple times in the sneaker store. This in Taylor, Michigan, 498 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 2: happened November fifth.

Jenkins said 501 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 2: she was merely passing the store and looked in when 502 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: she saw the woman yelling. She said she never insulted 503 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: the woman, but the woman turned her eye on the 504 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: teenager and started arguing with her or with her Corda Jenkins. 505 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: As the argument got verbal, she put her hand in 506 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 2: her purse and proceeded to tell me she was gonna 507 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 2: shoot me. I did not see her even know I 508 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: was stabbed until after the physical altercation. She the woman 509 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: pulled out a kitchen knife from her purse, stabbed her 510 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 2: twice in the neck and once in her stomach and 511 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: once in her thigh, resulting in her lung being punctured 512 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: in the attack. Suspect arrested at the mall. Charges the 513 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: expect to be filed.

I guess didn't 517 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: respect me or something. Yeah, let's just stab a random 518 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: teenager for a random comment. It's five point forty six 519 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: and fifty five kerse. The talk station covers cent back 520 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: to the stacker. Stupid. I appreciate this one, Joe Strecker. 521 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: There's really nothing to it beyond the announcement. Christine Pelosi, 522 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: daughter of Yes Nancy Pelosi, who announced her plans to retire, 523 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 2: is going to run for office. It's pretty much it 524 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 2: do what the heck? What's her platform? I'm running to 525 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: represent you San Francisco in Sacramento, fighting for consumer rights, 526 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: women's rights, gun violence, survivors, immigrants, and our most vulnerable communities. 527 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: There's your campaign platform right now. Isn't it scary that 528 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: someone can run just based on that name recognition, and 529 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 2: that Pelosi name may very well get her elected, notwithstanding 530 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: whether or not she's qualified. Walmart isition to statement after 531 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: the company was criticized for selling a T shirt and 532 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 2: a hoodie on its website featuring a graphic resembling a 533 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: Nazi slo T shirt and hoodie featured a graphic that 534 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: read white our paper beats rock. Fairly innocuous statement until 535 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: you see the T shirt, which is a flat palm, 536 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: you know, a Nazi salute which is towering over the 537 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: Black Power fist. Notably, the T shirt depicts a white 538 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: Nazi salute hand and the Black power fist. Sorry how 539 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: this made into Walmart's I have no idea, in spite 540 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: of the fact that they sold these pieces online and 541 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 2: I guess at the Walmart. We have zero tolerance for 542 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: any prohibited defensive products appearing in our marketplace. The items question, 543 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 2: we're listed by a third party seller and have been 544 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 2: removed from our site for violating our prohibited products policy. 545 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: When issues like this are identified, that's the That's the 546 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: big point in the sentence. And I think in the 547 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: announcement when they are identified after we've made a bunch 548 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 2: of profit before being identified to our tour, being brought 549 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: to our attention, then we act immediately to remove them 550 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: and strengthen our systems to protect a reoccurrence. So sorry, 551 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: your apparent Nazi white power t shirts are no longer 552 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: available at Walmike Walmart. Local boy made it into the 553 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: stack of stupid. Thanks Joe Greater. Since Saint Dad Amen 554 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: accused of downing twelve drinks at grandma's house and then 555 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: driving his wife and his three children nearly hitting a 556 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 2: police cruiser West Kemper Road at Northland Boulevard, Springdale. And 557 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: this is on Sunday Court to the police, Affidavid Ami 558 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: car amial car. Here's a new one for me. Hey 559 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: Amalkar Ramirez Reno so thirty one years old, more than 560 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: three times the legal limit. Cord to the Affidavid, his 561 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: wife and three children in the car had he had 562 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: twelve drinks at their grandmother's house. The driver was taken 563 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 2: to the police department where he provided a breath sample 564 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: of zero point two one children seven, eight, and nine 565 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: years old. According to the criminal complaints, he's arrested on 566 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: several counts of obi and dangering children as well as 567 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 2: obstructing official business. Now facing also multiple traffic offenses, including 568 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: driving under suspension and improper backing phrasing. Looked into the 569 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: Hamlin Kind of Justice Center. Sunday held overnight was nine pm. 570 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: Roughly he was scheduled to appear in court this past Monday. 571 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: Don't know what happened to Ramirez Reinoso. Something tells me 572 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: he may have worked a plea deal where they got 573 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: they dropped the improper backing charge phrasing, just left the 574 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: other ones. Oh you think that's what happened in prison. 575 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: So he's charged with improper backing. And let's just say 576 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 2: that my scenario did actually play out, because quite often 577 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: prosecutors will drop lesser offenses in order to get a 578 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 2: guilty plea on the bigger offenses. So they drop out 579 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: improper backing. He cops a plea the OVI and then 580 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 2: he still gets the improper backing. That's the way Joe 581 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: Drecker sees it. That's why we're gonna call it this morning. 582 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 2: It's five fifty five. It's desperate comedy right there.

Donovan and Neil Americans 612 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: for prosperity about ending the shutdown. There's an empower youse 613 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 2: seminar taking place tomorrow night, seven pm with Donovan and'eil. 614 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 2: Ohio needs a reset, and I alluded to the fact that, 615 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: you know, how can we make Ohio more competitive? Steve, 616 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 2: I'll get your call just a second. I saw Texas man. 617 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 2: They are on a roll as we consider whether or 618 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: not we're going to eradicate property taxes in our constitution, 619 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 2: ballot petition circulating around to be on the ballot next year. Presumably, 620 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: what will that mean for the state of Ohio with 621 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: no property taxes? Big question? Mark. I just kind of, 622 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: you know, kind of get excited and grin about the 623 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: prospects of our elected officials having to deal with the 624 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 2: aftermath of eliminating the property tax. I'm more interested in 625 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: what kind of chaos is going to follow that and 626 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 2: how they plan on ironing it out, since they think 627 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 2: they know inelected capacity more than you and I know. Anyway, 628 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 2: other states don't have property taxes. I think Jay's the 629 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 2: one that calls in regularly to point that out. But 630 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: over in Texas, voters approved three pro business tax amendments 631 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: to the Texas Constitution. From this point forward, Texas can 632 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 2: never impose taxes on capital gains a states, or inheritance, 633 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 2: as well as certain securities transactions. They didn't even have 634 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 2: those in place. But now the constitutional amendment is this 635 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 2: big giant red flat or you know, big giant banner 636 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 2: of open for business to the rest of the world, 637 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 2: most notably all the businesses now considering leaving New York. 638 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 2: Come in here. Water's fine, and we'll never go after 639 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 2: your capital gains taxes or estate or inheritances. We can't 640 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 2: do it even if we want to. It's in the constitution. 641 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 2: They would have to vote to change the constitution again. 642 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 2: So what an amazing thing. And they've got a budget 643 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 2: surplus already without any of these taxes in place. And 644 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: some are saying, whoa, what happens we' down the road 645 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 2: you know we're going to have when they're like, we'll 646 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 2: screw that. We're doing so well business wise, we have 647 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: so many people in businesses moving into the state. We're 648 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 2: generating so much revenue and taxes already. We'll never need them. 649 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: And if you put them in place, it's going to 650 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 2: be a big roadblock for folks. Maybe considering Texas as 651 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 2: opposed to one of the other competitive states, like oh 652 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: maybe Florida can. If Ohio is more like Texas and Florida, 653 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 2: might we get some of the businesses that are fleeing 654 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 2: New York. Big question. Now's the time to figure that 655 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 2: kind of crap out, Steve, Welcome to the show.

Psychologically, I don't 667 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 2: care how you would approach the show, but psychological, for me, 668 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 2: this is a weight on my shoulders. Twenty four hours 669 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 2: a day, seven days a week. I want to do 670 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 2: well for my listeners. I feel I owe it to them, 671 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 2: and I really take the job seriously. So there are 672 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 2: days when my brain's a little bit foggy and I 673 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 2: sit here and I think, oh my god, I'm not 674 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 2: quite delivering well. I kind of been in that mode 675 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 2: now for a little while, suggesting I really need a 676 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 2: few days off. So hopefully I'll be much more refreshed 677 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 2: on Tuesday when I come back. And Gary Jeff's going 678 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 2: to cover for me on Friday, and Dan Carroll's got 679 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 2: me on Monday, So both of those guys, you're going 680 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 2: to be in great hands. But thank you so much, Steve. 681 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 7: Those are two excellent hosts to fill in for you. 682 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 7: I wrote it by Gary Jeff Walker. I listened to 683 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 7: him on Saturdays because I'm three years older than you. 684 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 7: Have told you this before, but there's no reason for 685 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 7: you to remember this. I retired from full time work 686 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,240 Speaker 7: eighteen months ago, immediately started doing menial work three days 687 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 7: a week, and that involves driving around, delivering and listening 688 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 7: to the radio. So I listened to you and and 689 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 7: I mean I always tell people when I delivered to 690 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 7: their house. Hey, you know, I'm a talk radio junkie. 691 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 7: They're paying me to listen to the radio, which is 692 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 7: what I'd be doing at home anyway. And I beat 693 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 7: nice people. 694 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: And d d well be careful out there driving around, Steve, 695 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 2: because you got new speed humps for the tune of 696 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 2: seventeen million dollars on Gilbert. I guess, so there's one 697 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 2: of the. 698 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 5: Red I live. 699 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 7: I live in Independence, Kentucky, and my driving is limited 700 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 7: to Kentucky and Indiana. Have us go into Ohio. 701 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: Just throwing a shot at the City of Cincinnati for 702 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 2: putting in more speed humps. But anyway to Steve. 703 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 7: Okay, yesterday listened to Jeffrey Pastor, and I remember listening 704 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 7: to him. I guess when he was initially running for 705 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 7: counsel and when when and when he was on counsel. 706 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 7: I forgot how well spoken he is. He he did 707 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 7: himself quite a favor by, you know, coming on the 708 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 7: show and talking for a half hour. Very articulate, very 709 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 7: well spoken. Everybody deserves a second chance. I really enjoyed 710 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 7: listening to him, so kudos to him. Got a you 711 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 7: know this happened to me last time I called you 712 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 7: to I forget what else I was going to talk about, 713 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 7: because you're talking about you know, New York and stuff 714 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 7: and Texas. But oh, here's what it was. The other 715 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 7: day you talked about over the weekend, you went over 716 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 7: a friend's house for dinner. How do you how do 717 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 7: you incorporate your sugar free diet when you when you're 718 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 7: in the situation like that, do they. 719 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I don't know. I don't ask anyone to 720 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: make diet accommodations for me. Ever, I don't even if 721 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 2: we're invite it over some place we know, period, end 722 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 2: of story. There's quite often there is no problem maintaining 723 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 2: a diet without being insulting to your host, while still 724 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 2: staying within the guidelines of the diet. Fortunately, I allow 725 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 2: some measure of flexibility. So while I say I cut 726 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 2: completely all sugar out of my diet, I will eat 727 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 2: half a cookie or something if someone bait homemade cookies, 728 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 2: I don't have to indulge in a full slice of 729 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 2: cake or pie. Dinner. Was you know protein and everything 730 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 2: like that can eat that. Maybe I just avoid eating 731 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 2: the potatoes if they're served or something. So yeah, it's 732 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 2: no big deal. And if somebody's scratching their head wondering 733 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: why you're not eating the food they prepared for you, 734 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 2: to say, listen, I'm on a restricted diet, don't be insulted. 735 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to take care of my health. So 736 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 2: I think most people are really reasonable about that kind 737 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 2: of thing. 738 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 7: You got to live your life. 739 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: Too, Amen, brother, Amen, thank you. I appreciate that. I 740 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 2: really do. Side Jim Keefer, good to hear from you, 741 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: my friend. As always, Good morning, Brian. 742 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 8: He had listened to Jeff Pastor was on making a 743 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 8: round yesterday on Channel nine and Channel twelve headliner at 744 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 8: six o'clock. So he's he's throwing his thing with his 745 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 8: Pardon Pastor shirt on. 746 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he had that shirt on and he 747 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 2: gave it it's his pardon past And I wasn't really 748 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 2: quite looking at that. I was just looking at the 749 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 2: number that was below it, and I said, is that 750 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 2: your prison number? That's my pardon petition number. It's his 751 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 2: pardon petition number. 752 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 8: Oh geez, I thought that was. 753 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,760 Speaker 2: His inmate number at the Federal lockoy. 754 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 8: I did too. Now, I'm glad you cleared out one. 755 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 2: Of Well you brought it up. Since it's radio, no 756 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 2: one got to see what it says. He had to 757 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 2: watch him on Channel nine, I guess. 758 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 8: But yeah, exactly. 759 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 2: I thought he was wearing it almost as a badge 760 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 2: of pride or something which would seem very inconsistent with 761 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 2: his current message about it having been rehabilitated. 762 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 8: I do hear Steve on Saturdays with Gary Jeff. He 763 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:05,760 Speaker 8: does a great job. 764 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that. 765 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 8: By the way, Gary Jeff's wife has cancer again. 766 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 2: Prayers, prayers. 767 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 8: It's a different kind of cancer. It's it's it is 768 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 8: breast cancer. He doesn't mind. He talked about it on 769 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 8: the air. Okay, all right, but it's it's in the 770 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 8: other side and it's two they found two marks. Oh, 771 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 8: so they're going to do They said it shouldn't be 772 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 8: so bad. 773 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 2: So I hope that is the case. And the one 774 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 2: thing that I've learned over the years with my cancer struggles, 775 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 2: and I know you know this with your cancer struggles, 776 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 2: one thing we all know cancer sucks. It's one thing 777 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,879 Speaker 2: we can all uniformly agree on, but that what used 778 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 2: to be and pretty much a death sentence. They have 779 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 2: made so many steps towards you know, curing can breast cancer, 780 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 2: and you catch it early enough, it no longer is 781 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 2: necessarily a death sentence. I know one size does not 782 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 2: fit all with cancer diagnosis, but at least it's not 783 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 2: that oh my god, I got to start getting my 784 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 2: affairs together kind of thing. So prayers nonetheless for everybody 785 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 2: out there struggling with cancer, including you, Jim Keefer. 786 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 8: Yeah, cancer sucks. But the real reason I called you, 787 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 8: Brian is that text I sent you yesterday. I seriously 788 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 8: think that this because of the city Council is basically 789 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 8: didn't change. I seriously think O street. 790 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 2: Car, Jim Keefer, you got to say exactly what the 791 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 2: text related to, which is leg two of the street Car. 792 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 2: Did you hear that they're actually going to move forward 793 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 2: with something like that, because I have not heard that 794 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 2: except from. 795 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 8: You, No, But I know it's going to come. 796 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 6: I know it. 797 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 8: I next time I see Jeff Kramerty, because I do 798 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 8: know him, I'm going to ask him if that thing's 799 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 8: been brought up. I seriously think they're going to do 800 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 8: that because they've got nothing else to put a mark 801 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 8: on for this council in town. I mean, they've already 802 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 8: screwed up all the roads. 803 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 2: What about speed bumps on Gilbert? Can't they hang their 804 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,760 Speaker 2: hat and show that as progress or something? 805 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 8: I don't know how I like to see how many 806 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 8: people actually travel Gilbert to put that kind of money 807 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 8: into it. I you know, I've been on Gilbert and 808 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 8: I don't think it's a main thoroughfare all day that 809 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 8: you've got to have that kind of How. 810 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 2: Many speed how many speed bumps do you get for 811 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 2: seventeen million dollars? 812 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 5: Oh? 813 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 8: I don't know.

Now whether this curfew starts at six 858 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: nine eleven, there's a bunch of different times. It is 859 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 2: a bit confusing. That was one of the things. Council 860 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 2: Member Mark Jeffries wonders if the curfews will confuse people 861 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:51,919 Speaker 2: because I think you need to be clear to people 862 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,400 Speaker 2: what the rules are at what they are not a 863 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 2: little tough for people to follow nine pm here, eleven 864 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 2: pm there at six pm here.

With council member Mark Jefferies. Bobby, 867 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,800 Speaker 2: welcome to the program. Happy Wednesday, Happy hump day, my brother, 868 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 2: oh Gilbert Avenue, because they got some seventeen million dollars 869 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 2: worth of new humps. 870 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 6: Well, i'll tell you what about it. Don't take off 871 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 6: the vacation time. You're the tip of the spear. 872 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 5: We need you. 873 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 6: There's too much going on. 874 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that tip's gonna fall off and die if 875 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 2: you don't get some vacation from time to time. Bobby, 876 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 2: I appreciate your praise in that regard. Maybe a bit overstated, 877 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 2: I will quickly point out, but everybody needs an exhil 878 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 2: and arrest every once in a while. 879 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 6: Well, you're leading the media charge here on a little thing. 880 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 6: It may be exposing the salt coup that we've been 881 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 6: investigating for the last four and a half years, and 882 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 6: it may go right into a black Swan event. You 883 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 6: got an awful good guest coming up in the eight 884 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 6: o'clock hour, Adam Hardage. 885 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 2: Yep, former CIA ops officer. He's going to give us 886 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 2: the latest on the J six pipe bombing investigations, which 887 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 2: I think maybe it was you who brought it up 888 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 2: the other day about that video they have which I 889 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 2: think they've traced at least they believe they have traced 890 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 2: to a member of the Capitol Police. And wouldn't that 891 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 2: be interesting. 892 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,800 Speaker 6: Well, it's a lot deeper and deeper than that, you know, 893 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 6: I'd say it's exposing the Salt coup because I'm questioning 894 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 6: a lot of different things. There are a lot of 895 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 6: things I do know, and the only thing we did 896 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 6: know was the identity of the suspect. We know now 897 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 6: And I tell you what I'd like to know, what 898 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 6: three of that are Intel Agency recruiser. 899 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 2: Well, of course i'd like to I'm looking forward to 900 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 2: getting all the information about Arctic frost too. I mean, 901 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 2: that's a well coordinated effort under min Donald Trump, and 902 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 2: you know, I mean it's at least with the Trump administration. 903 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 2: This stuff is being exposed and I'm not going to 904 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,919 Speaker 2: ever be knee jerk reaction and reaching conclusions about any 905 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 2: of it. But longer you wait, the more the information 906 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 2: comes out, the more the puzzle pieces fit together, you'll 907 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 2: ultimately have a complete picture. And so far the direction 908 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 2: at that picture or the completed picture is looking. It 909 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 2: is terrible for us collectively as Americans. It's terrible for 910 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 2: the credibility of the US government, which furthers division. Right, 911 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 2: this is one of them. Maybe this is the goal 912 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 2: they do this kind of thing, Bobby, They intentionally coordinate 913 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 2: these activities. It comes out, and then we lose faith 914 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,240 Speaker 2: in the FBI, the Department of Justice, maybe the CIA. 915 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. But if I lose faith in these 916 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 2: institutions that I used to look up to, like the FBI, 917 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,799 Speaker 2: for example, I always thought, YEAHBI, they're looking out for us, 918 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 2: they're all true patriots. Well guess what, maybe not. So 919 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 2: there's one less reason to trust your government. Now that 920 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 2: is not for me a problem because we put too 921 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 2: much faith in trust in government. We give them too 922 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 2: much power anyway. So maybe it's a step in the 923 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 2: right direction. But when you got the other side that 924 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 2: wants to eliminate this form of government, they want to 925 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 2: bring it down revolution or otherwise. Getting a population of 926 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 2: people who have been insulted by and awakened to the 927 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,240 Speaker 2: fact that their government may very well be working against 928 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 2: them is not a positive step if you're worried about 929 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 2: the future of the country. So lots of unpackage here, Bobby, 930 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 2: But I'm willing to wait for the picture to be 931 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 2: completed before I ultimately conclude things one with the way 932 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 2: or another. And that is the direction that's going keep 933 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 2: the firearms to Bobby, six twenty seven fifty five. Go ahead, 934 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,160 Speaker 2: real quick, Bob, real quick. 935 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,439 Speaker 6: Oh no, no one thing. I was going to say. 936 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 6: The algorism that they were using on the movement of 937 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 6: this individual. There's a whistleblower that identified her. 938 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,839 Speaker 2: Well, maybe Adam said that. Maybe Adam will talk about 939 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,359 Speaker 2: that at eight oh five. Hadn't heard that detail. Don't 940 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 2: deny it, though, Bobby. That's just where I am six 941 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 2: twenty seven right now. But if I have cares the 942 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 2: talk station otor exit od O or XIT no e 943 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 2: odor exit the conversation. That is a Joe Streker produced 944 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 2: podcast where Bringing Me Down dives on into energy related topics, 945 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 2: which you just did recently. 946 00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 6: Uh. 947 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 2: I know you're at the airport. Bring them. What's going 948 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 2: on at CVEG. I know the shutdown has caused multiple 949 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 2: delays and cancelations. Will start there and then we'll segue 950 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 2: into how is it the shutdown impacts energy policy? Bring them? 951 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,839 Speaker 9: Welcome back, Hi, Brian, good morning, Thanks for having me 952 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 9: on on short notice. Yeah, I'm here at CVG it's 953 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:11,720 Speaker 9: bustling up. You know, the shutdown has dramatically impacted air travel, 954 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 9: as many of your listeners know. By the way, I 955 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 9: added one other thing to my title. I'm on the 956 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 9: United States Department of Transportation Advisory Board. 957 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 2: Wow, congratulations on that. In that capacity, what will you 958 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 2: be responsible for since this transportation? Will you be oversight 959 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 2: over speed bumps being installed in City of Cincinnati on 960 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 2: Gilbert Avenue? Maybe? 961 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 9: Well, I'm one of twelve, and it's a diverse group 962 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 9: of individuals. I'm concentrating on infrastructure. You know, there's a 963 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 9: lot of overlap between energy infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and you know, 964 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 9: looking for ways to improve mobility for all Americans. And 965 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 9: I can tell you know, had this shutdown continued any further, 966 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,879 Speaker 9: nobody was going to be traveling at Thanksgiving. That's how 967 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 9: icy and unstable the ATC air traffic control network has 968 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 9: become due to this shutdown. 969 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 2: But that's in spite of the fact that all the 970 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 2: air traffic controllers know they were going to be paid, 971 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 2: and they're deem critical employees recognizing that. Of course, the 972 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,320 Speaker 2: job they do allows us to travel and engage in commerce. 973 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,280 Speaker 2: And I mean, of course, in a very very very 974 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 2: important job since it's air travel and planes crash and 975 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 2: they run into each other. 976 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, and we were already well short of targets. In fact, 977 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 9: by this past summer, the Trump administration had hired over 978 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 9: thirty five hundred new controllers, which was their yearly target. 979 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 9: The issue has become that many of them are retiring. 980 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 9: It's a high stress job depending on what airport you're at. Sure, 981 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 9: there are smaller airports it's pretty chill. But if you've 982 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 9: ever sat at an ATC control tower or in a 983 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,760 Speaker 9: regional center, one of the busier ones around the United States, 984 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 9: I can't you know. And I'm a recovering naval aviator. 985 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,240 Speaker 9: It's a tough job. 986 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I just remember the volume and still to 987 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 2: this day is the case. When I lived in Chicago, 988 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 2: that O'Hare Airport, it was what thousand plus flights every 989 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 2: single day. The place is just it's a steady stream 990 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,240 Speaker 2: of in and out. And to be responsible for managing 991 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 2: all of that and all the lives that are dependent 992 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 2: upon your proper management of that air traffic, dude, I 993 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 2: wouldn't take that job if you paid me double the 994 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 2: salary they make well. 995 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,759 Speaker 9: And Americans are traveling more than ever, Brian. There are 996 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,799 Speaker 9: some issues though, one of frankly is the airlines. You know, 997 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 9: out of CBG we fly a lot of the small 998 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,839 Speaker 9: regional jets that dot on the radar requires the same 999 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,279 Speaker 9: human attention as a seven forty seven or a much 1000 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 9: larger aircraft. We've got to get the airlines to upgauge 1001 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 9: their aircraft and actually cut back on some of their hours. 1002 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 9: Right now, coming into DC, there's six or seven direct 1003 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 9: flights a day, all on fifty sixty passenger airplane. So 1004 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 9: upgauging aircraft is really important as well. But for the airlines, 1005 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 9: the smaller airplanes are cheaper to fly, and they don't 1006 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 9: pay more for putting ten planes in the air instead 1007 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 9: of seven or six. 1008 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 2: That I understand. So they're maximizing profit, which I certainly get. 1009 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 2: But at the same time increasing the number of planes 1010 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 2: in the air by maximizing profit. 1011 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 9: Yes, and there has to be you know, there are 1012 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,280 Speaker 9: physical limitations of the system, so you know it requires 1013 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 9: a concerted effort by everybody, kind of like it does 1014 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,160 Speaker 9: in Congress to figure this out. 1015 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1016 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 2: Well, well, just like that, you are not holding your 1017 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 2: breath waiting for this to come about. Are you, Brigham? 1018 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 4: You know I'm not. 1019 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 9: It's actually pretty disappointing. The last vote of the House 1020 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 9: Rules Committee, which is required before the Senate pass building 1021 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 9: can go to the floor vote today lasted until one am, 1022 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 9: with every Democrat voting against on the Rules Committee voting 1023 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 9: against reopening the government. It is insane, Brian. 1024 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 2: Well, you didn't make that statement looking for an argument 1025 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 2: for me. Brigham. 1026 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 9: I know, and you know, to be fair to our 1027 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 9: Democrat friends, it's both parties, honestly, and you know this 1028 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 9: is something I talked about in a recent episode of 1029 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 9: Charge Conversations. Congress itself is failing to do its job, 1030 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 9: and as a consequence, these are the fights and battles 1031 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 9: we have coming up. But if we can't even get 1032 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 9: together on whether a COVID era subsidy never meant to 1033 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 9: stay in place, is suddenly a long standing government right. 1034 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,239 Speaker 9: I don't know about you, but I'm not betting on 1035 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 9: fixing the deficit anytime soon. 1036 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 2: No, nor am I. Did you got any chance, by 1037 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,919 Speaker 2: any chance to get to read since you are this 1038 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 2: is your wheelhouse, your energy policy. The Jorn Lumberg's article 1039 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,399 Speaker 2: from The Wall Street General, China's green energy revolution is powered. 1040 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 9: By cole Yeah, yeah, I did read that. 1041 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 2: I read the whole thing on the air just the 1042 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 2: other day, because it is insane. We are killing ourselves 1043 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 2: in the name of chasing our tails trying to eliminate 1044 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 2: carbon dioxide. China is making billions and billions of dollars 1045 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 2: by manufacturing the tail chasing vehicles, windmills, and solar plant 1046 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,760 Speaker 2: while using coal power to create those items to sell 1047 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 2: to stupid Western governments. 1048 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 9: Absolutely, and you know, it's a brilliant plan. And I 1049 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 9: hate to give China credit for this. 1050 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 2: Oh, I were really right. 1051 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,400 Speaker 9: If I were ranking them for energy security, i'd give 1052 00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 9: them an A plus A plus. They are using, they 1053 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 9: are using everything at their disposal to make sure that 1054 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 9: they have the uninterrupted availability of power wherever and whenever 1055 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 9: it's needed, as cheaply as possible for. 1056 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 2: The purpose of achieving economic dominance, for achieving economic dominance, 1057 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 2: and part of that economic dominance is being well certainly achieved. 1058 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,399 Speaker 2: They're making a whole lot of money off of perpetuating 1059 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 2: the myth that our exhalation is some how dangerous to 1060 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 2: our survival, that that joke could be perpetrated on most 1061 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 2: of the globe while the Chinese Communist Party laughs, their 1062 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,759 Speaker 2: collective asses off making money of it, and the word 1063 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 2: has not gotten out until somebody like Bjorn Lumberg comes 1064 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 2: on and points out the obvious, which I've been screaming 1065 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 2: about for years. As have you brig him account this? Well, 1066 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 2: you know, it's just frustrating. 1067 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,919 Speaker 9: It is really frustrating. And you know, to see where 1068 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 9: America could have been in a few years, all we 1069 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 9: have to do is look at Europe, which is completely devastated, 1070 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 9: its economy, its industries, self inflicted under this. Oh, we 1071 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 9: have to do our part. Leaving aside the fact that 1072 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 9: whether you have four hundred points per million or four 1073 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 9: hundred and sixty parts per whatever of CO two, you 1074 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 9: can't voluntarily change the world. If the largest single emitter 1075 00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 9: representing China and India more than half a global emissions 1076 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,479 Speaker 9: isn't gonna play, even if. 1077 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 6: It's not would work. 1078 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 9: It would not work under this scenario. 1079 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 2: It would not, and hence the stupidity of the whole process. 1080 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 2: Notwithstanding the fact of carbon dioxide is plant food. Bring 1081 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 2: the McCowan and I tell you what man, I am, 1082 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 2: from the bottom of my heart, very serious. I wish 1083 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 2: you safe travels as I do for all the air traffic, 1084 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 2: all the travelers out there. It's a dicey proposition when 1085 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,520 Speaker 2: there run enough people behind the controls that are monitoring 1086 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 2: the airflight. So that's why they had to cancel and 1087 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 2: delay a lot of flights. It's for everybody's safety. Although 1088 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,040 Speaker 2: it is a colossal pain in the butt bringing mccow 1089 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 2: on podcasts, it's charged conversations again a Jost Tracker production. 1090 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,160 Speaker 2: Bring them account Safe Travels. We'll talk soon, I hope, 1091 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 2: because we've got more to talk about about energy policy. 1092 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 9: Thanks brother, I appreciate it. 1093 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 2: Safe Travels six point forty right now Ifitch about kar 1094 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 2: City Talk Station.

Forty nine Fich about Karsit talk 1096 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 2: Station et Wednesday, Big Picture with Jack added after the 1097 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 2: top of the hour news subject today, Democrats and the 1098 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 2: power of pain. Bottom of the hour, out of and 1099 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 2: Neil Well, he'll be doing a Power You seminar tomorrow 1100 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 2: night at seven pm. Ohio needs a reset. And I 1101 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 2: think about what's going on in the state of Texas. 1102 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 2: I mentioned that before, and why don't we go in 1103 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 2: that direction. Some of the legislative changes in the laws 1104 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:19,000 Speaker 2: in Florida are also unbelievably business well and resident friendly. 1105 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 2: We could make Ohio more like that and compete. And 1106 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 2: can I just ask this out loud? This has been 1107 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 2: a burning question in the back of my mind. And 1108 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist or 1109 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 2: maybe a pattern observer, but we have all these the 1110 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 2: rethink the police folks. It's been announced, mom, Donnie has 1111 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 2: got this new chief architect, incoming staff member. He's just 1112 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 2: tapped to be his advisor in this woke Democratic Socialist 1113 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 2: of America inspired administration. He's got the woman who is 1114 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 2: the architect behind his community Department of Community Safety proposal, 1115 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 2: which is a one point one billion dollar program which 1116 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 2: is supposed to send out social workers rather than police 1117 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 2: department members of law enforcem to what is described as 1118 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 2: certain nonviolent nine to eleven calls, nine one one calls. 1119 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 2: And we all know they've tried that here in the 1120 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 2: city of Cincinnati. This is a large group of folks. 1121 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 2: They are not law enforcement officers, right, they're what counselors 1122 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 2: or whatever. I am certain that they have passed some 1123 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 2: political litmus tests, most notably in the City of Cincinnati 1124 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 2: now run effectively by the Democratic Socialists of America. And 1125 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 2: I thought of this group sitting around when there are 1126 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 2: non violent calls and they're not doing anything, what are 1127 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 2: they going to be utilized for? Maybe? Maybe, and I'm 1128 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 2: saying this out loud, knowing how politically charged it might 1129 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 2: be and how crazy I might sound, but doesn't that 1130 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 2: sound to you? Maybe just maybe that they could become 1131 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 2: the next brown Shirts? Those were political operatives for Adolf Hitler. 1132 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 2: And I don't know my history well enough to know 1133 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 2: whether they were actually vested and law enforcement designated like 1134 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 2: they had some legal cap I mean, you think, Crystal Knock, 1135 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 2: these are just crazy people who hated Jews running around 1136 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 2: killing and beating people. And when you enshrine that under 1137 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 2: the under a government umbrella funded, all I see are 1138 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 2: danger signals. I pray to god it doesn't go down 1139 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 2: that road. But you established this group of people again 1140 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 2: outside of really of trained law enforcement, knowing full well 1141 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 2: that they're all going to be basically political operatives. You know, 1142 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,360 Speaker 2: they may very well solve or respond or deal with 1143 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 2: some maybe nonviolent nine to one one call, which probably 1144 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 2: will ultimately result in having to have an actual police 1145 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 2: officer come over and issue a citation or something, but 1146 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 2: that concept frightens me. Vivan Gramaswami all over that. Right now, 1147 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 2: of course, the number of the New York Police Department 1148 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 2: officers is dropping and more and more expected to leave 1149 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 2: because of Yes, I want to I hate the police. 1150 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,440 Speaker 2: Mom Dami who previously said that the police department was 1151 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 2: a racist, anti queer and major threat to public safety. Yeah, 1152 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,200 Speaker 2: he said that, though I just quoted him. So the 1153 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,120 Speaker 2: cops in New York are really kind of concerned about 1154 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 2: their future and they're quitting. New York Post just reported 1155 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 2: the more than two hundred police officers resigned in October 1156 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 2: ahead of Mom Dommy's election day, and of course words 1157 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 2: circulating around that a lot more are cute up and 1158 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 2: ready to leave. Vivik Gramaswami saying, Hey, come on to Ohio. 1159 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 2: The water's fine here. We'll be more than happy to 1160 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,480 Speaker 2: hire you here in the state of Ohio. That's a 1161 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 2: good marketing thing, but it'll be better if we had 1162 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 2: a better economic environment in the state of Ohio to 1163 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 2: lure all the businesses and of course law enforcement officers 1164 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 2: as well. So yeah, we do need them. And City 1165 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:38,439 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati gets the memo they promised lateral hires. Why 1166 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 2: not start running ads in New York City? AFTAB Philip, 1167 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 2: Welcome to the program, Thanks for calling this morning. Happy 1168 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 2: Wednesday to you. 1169 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 4: Thank you well. 1170 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 10: I just wanted to pass on a little bit of information. 1171 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 10: I'm a veteran and I was recently stacked up with 1172 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 10: enough of medical issues that I was going to pursue disability. 1173 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 10: But VA and I hear that on the radio every 1174 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 10: day then that you're a good champion for this cause, 1175 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 10: and you know a lot of people in the know. Basically, 1176 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 10: I want to try health yesterday and ask for my 1177 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 10: medical records, and they told me that they could only 1178 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 10: go back ten years. They started destroying all medical records 1179 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 10: after ten years. Really, yeah, I received no notice. 1180 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 2: That seems completely polar opposite to the direction we're going. 1181 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,480 Speaker 2: Because it's easy to store data these days. I mean, 1182 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,800 Speaker 2: data storage is not free, but it's comparatively cheap. And 1183 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 2: the cheaper I mean it's cheaper today than it was yesterday, 1184 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 2: and it's the damn sight cheaper than it was five, ten, 1185 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 2: fifteen years ago. I mean, data storage is nothing. Why 1186 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,040 Speaker 2: would they destroy records which might very well impact what 1187 01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 2: kind of healthcare you need now? 1188 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 10: Exactly and from the case in point, I'm also trying 1189 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 10: to work on my father's claim he appears to have ah, 1190 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,840 Speaker 10: it's looking like agent orange exposure. We had no idea 1191 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 10: until more recently. And luckily he was with christ Network 1192 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 10: and all his medical records are available and online and 1193 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 10: I couldn't retrieve those documents. But with mine. She said, 1194 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 10: I needed to hurry up and get in there because 1195 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 10: they're about to destroy twenty fifteen here soon. So wow, 1196 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 10: I went down yesterday and this is straight from the 1197 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 10: records department at Try Health. 1198 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 2: Well, you may be, I mean that may be subject 1199 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 2: to the Packed Act because they're going to compensate people 1200 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 2: for for conditions that were you know, that occurred as 1201 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 2: a consequence of military service, and the standard of the 1202 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 2: burden of proof is basically minimal or I mean nothing. 1203 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 2: The cancers, for example, are presumptively a consequence of the 1204 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 2: service if you can just show a couple of minor things, 1205 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 2: so your medical records may have an impact on that. 1206 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 2: But more fundamentally, I think if military records show where 1207 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 2: you or your father in this case were stationed, and 1208 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 2: they're approximately related to some potential exposure, and then they 1209 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,520 Speaker 2: automatically qualify under the pack dect. That's about as boiled 1210 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 2: down as I can make it. And don't quote me 1211 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 2: gospel on that. You're not getting a legal consultation right now. 1212 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 2: But since I've hit the VA in often enough to 1213 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 2: know that there is something out there that may provide 1214 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 2: you some relief in so far as the destruction of 1215 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,439 Speaker 2: your medical records, you might have to ask try Health 1216 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,880 Speaker 2: about that. I don't understands. That doesn't seem to me 1217 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,640 Speaker 2: to be a positive development. So thank you for your service, 1218 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 2: man and your father's service. We hear in the listening 1219 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 2: once truly truly appreciate that, and we'll keep my fingers 1220 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 2: crossed that your situation gets sorted out. Coming up Jack 1221 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 2: Atherton with a big picture at the top of the 1222 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 2: air news, then Donovan O'Neil on Ohio needing a reset. Yes, indeed, 1223 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,160 Speaker 2: what's Donovan have in mind? We'll find out together. Don't 1224 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 2: go away today. It's tough headlines coming up seven oh five, 1225 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 2: and I think you five Kroc de talk station. Hey, 1226 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 2: look it's Wednesday. What do we do at seven oh five? 1227 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 2: We get the big picture with Jack A Jack aden 1228 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 2: in my friend. It is always a real pleasure having 1229 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 2: you on the show. Glad to have you back. 1230 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 11: I could not be more grateful. So, Paal, let's see 1231 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 11: if we got this right. Democrats, the Party a big government, 1232 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,760 Speaker 11: have been willing to starve government workers and their families 1233 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 11: and endanger all the rest of us, especially those who 1234 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 11: fly folks, This is no exaggeration. Early on in this shutdown, 1235 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:32,920 Speaker 11: the Democrats chief cable network CNN reported that a quote 1236 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 11: senior Democratic aide told them Democrats would not reopen the 1237 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:43,080 Speaker 11: government short of and I quote again, planes falling out 1238 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 11: of the sky. Oh come on, our left wing friends 1239 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 11: might say, that's not all of us. Seven Democrats senators 1240 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 11: after all, and one independent who caucuses with them all 1241 01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 11: the time. Means Angus King did after seven weeks break 1242 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 11: their own filibuster. But folks, you know what finally gave 1243 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 11: those eight senators the courage, the moral clarity to stand 1244 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 11: up for what's right exactly, not one seeking reelection next year. 1245 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 2: It's so obvious. And you know, Temmy, I have you 1246 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,120 Speaker 2: asked you this, Jack, And I'm sorry interrupting your commentary 1247 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 2: because yeah, but you know, the rest of them, while 1248 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 2: they're paying lip services this news guys capitulate, they're all 1249 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,400 Speaker 2: excelling a sigh of relief that they fell on the sword. 1250 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 2: For the rest of them who also wanted the government 1251 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 2: open because of the pain, They're. 1252 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,280 Speaker 11: Not paying lip service. They're being paid. It's in the constitution, 1253 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 11: they say, But you could have put that in escrow. 1254 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 11: A lot of Republicans didn't accept their pay, so no, 1255 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 11: they're not paying anything. They never do anyway. This got 1256 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 11: me thinking about what we discussed last week, Brian, that 1257 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 11: a Zorin Mamdani and Chuck Schumer make life painful enough 1258 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 11: for us, more voters might finally get off their posteriors 1259 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 11: and vote Democrats out. But sadly, my friend, I'm still 1260 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 11: not sure it works that way. When you beat a 1261 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 11: dog the way for instance, the villainous Bill Sikes beat 1262 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 11: his dog and dickens Oliver twist. That dog may at 1263 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:21,440 Speaker 11: first fight back, but soon the beaten dog becomes co dependent, 1264 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,240 Speaker 11: just like Tragically, too many beaten wives stick with their 1265 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 11: vicious husbands or return to them because they feel they 1266 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 11: have no choice. Amesley and I know we used to 1267 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 11: volunteer at a shelter. I suspect folks that over time, 1268 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,360 Speaker 11: the more people are beaten down and feel pain, the 1269 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:44,839 Speaker 11: more likely they are to support anyone promising them a reprieve, 1270 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 11: a reward freebies, even if the people promising the freebies 1271 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 11: are the ones who inflicted the pain. Democrats caused this 1272 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 11: painful government shutdown by refusing to support a clean cr 1273 01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:03,519 Speaker 11: a continue resolution that would simply continue for a time 1274 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 11: Biden's spending levels. Instead, Democrats demanded, among many other things, 1275 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 11: like funding for public broadcasting. To come back, Democrats demanded 1276 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 11: an extension of COVID emergency subsidies for their own unaffordable Obamacare, 1277 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 11: including reimbursement for the care of millions of illegal aliens. 1278 01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 11: Democrats insist that's not true. They lie again, So why 1279 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 11: does anyone believe them at this point when they know 1280 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 11: that Democrats, especially during the Obama Biden era, have lied 1281 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 11: to us outrageously Because the recent history of America is 1282 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 11: the history of big government systematically destroying people's character. The 1283 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:56,040 Speaker 11: people who founded our country had enormous character, courage, like 1284 01:09:56,080 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 11: all the service people that we honored yesterday, Principles can do. 1285 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,759 Speaker 11: Spirit what came to be recognized around the world, certainly 1286 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 11: after we saved the free world in two World Wars 1287 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 11: as the American spirit. And I'm not just talking about 1288 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 11: our leaders. Each of our ancestors who immigrated legally to 1289 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 11: this country brought to an America an entrepreneurial spirit, the 1290 01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 11: very act of crossing oceans arriving here usually with nothing, 1291 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,600 Speaker 11: because for most of our history there was no welfare 1292 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 11: all that distinguished us from the people left in Europe, 1293 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:36,759 Speaker 11: Asia and other places where ordinary people were peasants or worse. 1294 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 11: I'm not forgetting about the twelve and a half million 1295 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 11: human beings sent to America against their will to be slaves. 1296 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 11: Their character was as good or better than anyone else's. 1297 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,559 Speaker 11: But the second tragedy for people who were made slaves 1298 01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,879 Speaker 11: is that when the Civil War finally set them free, 1299 01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,960 Speaker 11: government in many places kept them from enjoying the rights 1300 01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,200 Speaker 11: and opportunities of other Americas, even when those legal rights 1301 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 11: belatedly were secured in the nineteen sixties by both Democrats 1302 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:12,360 Speaker 11: and Republicans. The increasing trend since the sixties for bigger 1303 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:15,720 Speaker 11: and bigger government has made people of all races and 1304 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 11: creeds increasingly dependent on government. Poor families were more vulnerable 1305 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:25,440 Speaker 11: than anyone, as we've often discussed, because Democrat welfare policies 1306 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 11: destroyed many of those families by offering free housing and 1307 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 11: other benefits to single mothers only as long as there 1308 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 11: was no man living in the house. This was a 1309 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,680 Speaker 11: sinful attempt to make poor families of all races hopelessly 1310 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 11: dependent on government. The second way Democrats undercut people who 1311 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 11: aspired to join the middle class was by opening America's 1312 01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,639 Speaker 11: borders to tens of millions of illegals, who could work 1313 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 11: cheap at menial jobs if they worked at all, because 1314 01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 11: they immediately received wellalth fair benefits, even if they were 1315 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:09,280 Speaker 11: hardened criminals. Lastly, big government increased dependency by shipping American 1316 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,600 Speaker 11: jobs overseas, encouraging that with tax laws and other benefits, 1317 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 11: shipping them to countries like communists China that paid their 1318 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 11: own children and minorities starvation wages. This was particularly shameful 1319 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 11: for Democrats, who were supposed to be the champions of labor. 1320 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 11: The only laborers who thrived thanks to big government, at 1321 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 11: least up until now, were government workers, including unionized teachers. 1322 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 11: A big liberal, Woody Allen, recognized this in nineteen seventy 1323 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,679 Speaker 11: three in his comedy set in the future Sleeper. Woody 1324 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,800 Speaker 11: wakes up from a coma and learns that World War 1325 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 11: III has been started by teacher unions. Efflection to victories 1326 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,599 Speaker 11: last week convinced Democrats that no matter how much pain 1327 01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 11: they be themselves inflict, people like Bill Syke's dog will 1328 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 11: become even more dependent on ruinous socialism. Donald Trump is 1329 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,760 Speaker 11: trying to convince America that boosting not government but our 1330 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:16,840 Speaker 11: private sector will increase prosperity, family, formation, and freedom. Yet 1331 01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 11: the biggest threat to America Marxist propaganda peddled by schools, 1332 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 11: news media, social media everywhere. This propaganda has dominated popular 1333 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 11: culture for sixty years. Now there are hopeful signs, and 1334 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 11: let me leave you with one, Brian. Have you seen 1335 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 11: the studies showing that the number of young people identifying 1336 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,640 Speaker 11: as trans has been cut in half in just the 1337 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:42,679 Speaker 11: last two years. 1338 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:46,320 Speaker 2: It was a fad, It was a fed. 1339 01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 11: Like like pet rocks, and now we're getting away from it. 1340 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 11: Even the Olympic Committee, i know, not just the American 1341 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,599 Speaker 11: Olympic Committee, the Internet National Olympic Committee said if you're 1342 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 11: a guy, if you have our equipment, you can't play 1343 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 11: with the girls. We're in a race, Brian, to see 1344 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,200 Speaker 11: a big government socialists can ruin the character of our 1345 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,400 Speaker 11: country before we have a chance to expose them. Meantime, 1346 01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 11: we have to win elections, and then we have to govern, 1347 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 11: not strike poses and obstruct like some of our more 1348 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 11: self righteous friends. We have to govern, and if you're 1349 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:25,640 Speaker 11: a lawmaker, that means persuading your colleagues that's part of 1350 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:30,360 Speaker 11: your job, or compromising to get things done so that, 1351 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 11: unlike Bill Syke's Poor Dog, we won't be beaten into submission. 1352 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 2: What do you say, brother, I can't agree with you more. 1353 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 2: And it's an interesting thing. I just jotted it down 1354 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:44,479 Speaker 2: when you were talking about the paying only single women 1355 01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 2: government benefits, So no man in their life meant that 1356 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 2: they got paid when they had a child, I suppose 1357 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 2: out of woodlock, so there was no incentive for them 1358 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 2: to go after the man to get some child support. Now, 1359 01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 2: whether or not at the time that was proposed closed 1360 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,040 Speaker 2: because I can't go back through the legislative history of 1361 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,760 Speaker 2: the arguments over that Johnson era policy. But it has 1362 01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:11,559 Speaker 2: the effect of undermining and eradicating the nuclear family, which 1363 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 2: of course is one of the tenets of Marxism. So 1364 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 2: were they putting that in there as a vehicle to 1365 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 2: get rid of the nuclear family, at least among those 1366 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,400 Speaker 2: on Life's margins or was it really designed with this 1367 01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 2: altruistic motive. It doesn't really matter if he was the 1368 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 2: intent back then. The ultimate effect has been an obvious one. 1369 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 2: There are far far fewer nuclear families, and there are 1370 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 2: now a bunch of generational welfare dependents. But it's also 1371 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 2: fulfilled in the Marxist dream of undermining the nuclear family, 1372 01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 2: which of course encourages government dependence and reliance from my 1373 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,920 Speaker 2: perspective and from the Marxist perspective at least philosophically or ideologically. 1374 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,919 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's why we have seventy plus percent of families 1375 01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 11: that have been on welfare, higher than that in the 1376 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 11: biggest cities, without fathers helping to bring up the kids. 1377 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,800 Speaker 11: And by the way, I worked with somebody as a 1378 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,800 Speaker 11: kid as a bellhop, a black man, wonderful guy. The 1379 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 11: two of us listen to jazz all the time, who 1380 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 11: kids don't these days. Who told me that his wife 1381 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:15,000 Speaker 11: divorced him so that she could be eligible for welfare. 1382 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 11: So yeah, it worked both ways. Out of wedlock and 1383 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 11: sometimes even in weblock getting back though to government shutdowns. 1384 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 11: Can I make one other points, pleeez, even though we 1385 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:29,439 Speaker 11: outlasted the Democrats this time, and I think we should 1386 01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 11: make an exception, however, to the filibuster rule. An exception 1387 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 11: not getting rid of the whole thing. I'm not sure 1388 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,720 Speaker 11: that would be the best thing right now, but an 1389 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 11: exception of the filibuster rule for clean continuing resolutions like 1390 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 11: the one that's on the table right now, to keep 1391 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,719 Speaker 11: government open so we don't have to play chicken again 1392 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 11: with children's nutrition and people's lives. If voters don't like 1393 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 11: spending bills, we can always change control of Congress every 1394 01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 11: two years and the president every four years. The filibuster is, 1395 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 11: you know, Brian, is just a Senate rule. It's not 1396 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 11: something in the Constitution. You don't have to be no 1397 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 11: stradamus to see that. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are likely 1398 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 11: in the foreseeable future to win sixty votes in the 1399 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 11: Senate anytime soon to break a filibuster. America is only 1400 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 11: growing more and more polarized, and there's no doubt that, 1401 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:27,519 Speaker 11: of heaven forbid, Democrats regain the White House in Congress, 1402 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,520 Speaker 11: and eventually they probably will, they will end the filibuster 1403 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 11: all together. The only reason President Trump was able to 1404 01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:39,639 Speaker 11: pass his big, beautiful bill, which is about to set 1405 01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 11: the economy soaring and all the carping we're hearing, they'll 1406 01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:45,800 Speaker 11: have to find something else to talk about. The only 1407 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 11: reason he passed that bill is that Congress also has 1408 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 11: the Reconciliation Rule, which already bypasses filibusters for certain budget bills, 1409 01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 11: but it's very limited. So why not extend that rule 1410 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,799 Speaker 11: and make them Erica govern again? 1411 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,559 Speaker 2: Understood? Jack, understood, And you just asked the same question 1412 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 2: I've been sort of asking out loud in my head, 1413 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,719 Speaker 2: which is, wait a second, if the Republicans on their 1414 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:14,439 Speaker 2: own can change that rule, obviously, it doesn't require sixty 1415 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,720 Speaker 2: votes to change the rule. You know, the Democrats are 1416 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 2: just tapping their toes waiting around to change the rule 1417 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 2: across the board, like they did previously with getting some 1418 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,599 Speaker 2: of the judges appointed, right, I mean, haven't we been 1419 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,960 Speaker 2: down this road before, at least on a small scale. 1420 01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 11: Yeah. Briefly, the history was that Harry Reid changed the 1421 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 11: phili but rulee. Again, Remember we had the reconciliation which 1422 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,800 Speaker 11: is itself an exception. But Harry Reid went ahead and 1423 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,759 Speaker 11: he was the head of the Democrats from the Senate 1424 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 11: at that time, and he changed the filibuster rule so 1425 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,559 Speaker 11: that lower court federal judges could be confirmed by fifty 1426 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 11: one votes. Then Mitch McConnell, his finest moment, extended that 1427 01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 11: exception so that it would include Supreme Court justices. 1428 01:18:57,720 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the reason we can't. 1429 01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,960 Speaker 11: Have another exception to keep the government opens. That's all 1430 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 11: I'm asking for at this. 1431 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,720 Speaker 2: Point, another little whittling away which leads us, I think, 1432 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 2: to the inevitable Jack, which is getting rid of the 1433 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 2: sixty vote in the obligation right now. I don't know. 1434 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 2: I certainly live in interesting times, Jack, and you know 1435 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:20,280 Speaker 2: that's not a good thing to live in. 1436 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 11: No Chinese did, and they decided they wanted to put 1437 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 11: an end to that. 1438 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 2: Yes, and they're coming. 1439 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 11: For us hard. 1440 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,879 Speaker 2: They certainly are, Jack, add and always brilliant, always enjoyable. 1441 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for spending time with my listeners 1442 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 2: and me on Wednesdays at seven oh five. We'll do 1443 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,040 Speaker 2: it again next Wednesday.

Welcome back Americans from Prosperities, Donovan and 1454 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:13,120 Speaker 2: Eil and the shutdown. We've finally seen the light at 1455 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 2: the end of the tunnel on that one. Donovan, welcome back. 1456 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,160 Speaker 2: I understand you're doing an empower you summinar tomorrow night. 1457 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,639 Speaker 2: You're gonna get seven PM. Ohio needs a reset too 1458 01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 2: many governments. Donovan, good to heav you back on the show. Ryan, 1459 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 2: always a pleasure to be with you. Thanks for having me. Well. 1460 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 2: The marketing signs are going all over the place. New 1461 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,120 Speaker 2: York obviously is going to lose a lot of businesses 1462 01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 2: they have been. The business climate there is awful. There's 1463 01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 2: some ad campaigns going on. Texas is throwing out the 1464 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 2: big welcome banner and here, Donovan, why can't we have this? 1465 01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 2: Texas just voted to amend their constitution. The voter's approved 1466 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 2: three pro business tax amendments, saying there will be no 1467 01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,680 Speaker 2: capital gains tax ever in the state of Texas. In 1468 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,120 Speaker 2: the constitution, they also are going to have a ban 1469 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:59,160 Speaker 2: on security transaction taxes, as well as a outright ban 1470 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 2: on a state and inheritance taxes. They don't have any 1471 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 2: of those right now, but they've just enshrined in the 1472 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 2: constitution they never will be. That is probably one of 1473 01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,880 Speaker 2: the best marketing angles I've seen so far in the 1474 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 2: effort to bring businesses in any given state. How come 1475 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 2: we can't have that, Donovan, Well. 1476 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of that, right, we're 1477 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,800 Speaker 1: moving in the right trajectory, but we're not. I think 1478 01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 1: it's right. We're not marketing these things. And we also 1479 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: have been doing a lot of this stuff in a 1480 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 1: very incremental manner. 1481 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 2: You know. 1482 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:30,679 Speaker 1: Just this past summer they moved Ohio to a flat 1483 01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:32,479 Speaker 1: two point seventy five percent income tax. 1484 01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:33,759 Speaker 2: That's huge, Brian. 1485 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 1: That's the lowest in the Midwest, second lowest in the nation. 1486 01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 1: But you're right, there's other states. As we've been on 1487 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 1: your show talking about before, Ohio doesn't exist in a vacuum. 1488 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 1: We're in a fifty state Compact, these United States of America, 1489 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 1: and each one of these states is competing for our 1490 01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 1: jobs and opportunity and brightest minds. And we need that 1491 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 1: leadership in Columbus who's going to fight hard to move 1492 01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 1: Ohio in that bold direction, competing with states like Texas, 1493 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee and Florida that for years have been eating our lunch. 1494 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 2: Well, and you've talked about this on the Morning Show previously. 1495 01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 2: I know Americans for Prosperity is you know, along the 1496 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 2: lines of your seminar tomorrow night. And you know, we 1497 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:18,160 Speaker 2: have so far too many local governments, thousands of townships, cities, boards, commissions, 1498 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 2: everybody's got their own offices. Everybody needs to be supported 1499 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:25,800 Speaker 2: and paid for. It is extremely complicated. What is the 1500 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,679 Speaker 2: vision that you see? How do we streamline this process 1501 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:31,719 Speaker 2: and bring about what Americans for Prosperity and you Donald 1502 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:33,599 Speaker 2: Dannil are advocating for here in Ohio. 1503 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm really excited Dan Regnold and the empower 1504 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:39,320 Speaker 1: You team and just getting to go back go back 1505 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 1: down there tomorrow night and be a part of that 1506 01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,720 Speaker 1: with their crew. Appreciate you plugging that with us. And 1507 01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're going to talk about. There's this we 1508 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,760 Speaker 1: think about big government a lot of times brain right 1509 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:54,720 Speaker 1: as this monolithic creature that exists in Columbus or DC, right, 1510 01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,200 Speaker 1: our state or nation's capital. But what we're wanting to 1511 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: begin to shine a light on and this isn't We've 1512 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 1: every fifteen to twenty years or so, this comes back up, 1513 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:10,440 Speaker 1: and most recently it's occurred started to have come unsurfaced 1514 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: itself through the property tax crisis. The problem here is 1515 01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 1: we have the fifth most political subdivisions in the country. 1516 01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: What's the political subdivision that's your township, city, school, village, county. 1517 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:28,720 Speaker 1: All of them provide some services. Our argument is, Thoughbrien, 1518 01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 1: is there too dang much of them? And are we 1519 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 1: actually experiencing because of how much local government we have? 1520 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 1: Are we actually experiencing a big government crisis because of 1521 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: the amount of government we have here in the state 1522 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 1: of Ohio. 1523 01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 5: And we're unique in that. 1524 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 1: Again, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, New York beat us into Ohio 1525 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,400 Speaker 1: in terms of the number of political subdivisions. That's not 1526 01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:53,080 Speaker 1: a group of states you want to be anytime you're 1527 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 1: with California, Illinois, New York. 1528 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:55,800 Speaker 2: Something's wrong. 1529 01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,719 Speaker 1: Brian and that's where we find ourselves today here in Ohio. 1530 01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 2: Well, let us kind of generally contrast how those states 1531 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,960 Speaker 2: the you know, Ohio, what are the worst in your 1532 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,839 Speaker 2: list as you point out, with one of the fewest 1533 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 2: government states. I mean, how does the how do those 1534 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 2: states operate and provide the local attention? And I'm I'm 1535 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,439 Speaker 2: an advocate for you know, the closer a politician is 1536 01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,719 Speaker 2: to me physically where they live and what they see, 1537 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,599 Speaker 2: the closer they are to understand how the local issues 1538 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 2: impact people locally. Nobody in DC has any concept of 1539 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 2: how Joe Strecker lives in his neighborhood. And they can't 1540 01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 2: you know, provide benefits and ensure that his neighborhood is 1541 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:38,919 Speaker 2: being taken care of. They don't even know it exists. 1542 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:41,640 Speaker 2: So that same kind of concept makes an argument for 1543 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,679 Speaker 2: no more local government is good. So how does the 1544 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 2: fewer local governments address the needs of people locally and 1545 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,719 Speaker 2: still work out to everybody's benefit? Donovan? 1546 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 8: Sure, Well, I. 1547 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 1: Put to a state like Florida when it comes to 1548 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,680 Speaker 1: school districts, right, they are the single largest here in 1549 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:03,720 Speaker 1: Ohio consumer of our property tax revenue. Right example, we 1550 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 1: have six hundred some school districts. Here in the state 1551 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,200 Speaker 1: of Ohio, each one of those run with by a superintendent, 1552 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 1: a board of five school board members, assistant superintendent's treasurer, 1553 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,880 Speaker 1: assistant treasurer, a lot of administration, right that doesn't even 1554 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 1: get to the front lines of education. State like Florida, 1555 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,639 Speaker 1: I think there's somewhere about ninety school districts. They run 1556 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 1: them by county. 1557 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 2: Right. 1558 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 1: If we were to do a similar model, which is 1559 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 1: an unprecedented there are reports and studies that have shown 1560 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 1: how this can be done. There's off and on conversations 1561 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 1: about doing that. Here in Ohio, we'd have eighty eight 1562 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 1: school districts, give or take, we had one per county. 1563 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:40,080 Speaker 2: Right. 1564 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: What we're talking about there is streamlining the delivery of services, 1565 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: not moving it to Columbus or DC, but streamlining within 1566 01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,360 Speaker 1: our counties to eliminate a lot of this overhead and 1567 01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: administrative burdens that exist that all costs tax dollars. By 1568 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:59,000 Speaker 1: the way, on the argument for your local elected officials 1569 01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,720 Speaker 1: being accessible, push back to our friends who are out 1570 01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:05,120 Speaker 1: there fighting the property tax fight right now alongside us, 1571 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:09,200 Speaker 1: who are also saying they want more local government. I 1572 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,880 Speaker 1: say to them, how many of your township trustees, county commissioners, 1573 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 1: school board officials that you've gone to and complained about 1574 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,879 Speaker 1: your property taxes, how many of them have actually done something. 1575 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 2: To lower that burden for you. 1576 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:24,439 Speaker 1: Just because these folks are accessible, Brian, doesn't mean they're actually, 1577 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: you know, conservative and delivering the kind of efficiencies we 1578 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,640 Speaker 1: want out of government. There's some things we can do 1579 01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,280 Speaker 1: by consolidating, and that's what's at the heart of this conversation. 1580 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,960 Speaker 2: Well, and you know, for whatever reason, I'm thinking back 1581 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,160 Speaker 2: to Sheriff Neil, but he was really big into developing 1582 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 2: the concept of shared services among the region's law enforcement 1583 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,800 Speaker 2: officers for the purposes of efficiency. If you have one 1584 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 2: dive team that is accessible for all of the various 1585 01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 2: police departments, they know what to do, how to do it, 1586 01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:52,600 Speaker 2: they're efficient at it, and they share that service with 1587 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 2: the others. That relieves the other police departments from having 1588 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 2: an obligation of having a well a dive unit. So 1589 01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:02,599 Speaker 2: that makes perfect sense. This extreme streamline efficiencies in school government. 1590 01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:04,759 Speaker 2: You have fewer school board members, you have fewer school 1591 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,439 Speaker 2: It could deal with some of the perhaps overcrowding or 1592 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,679 Speaker 2: undercrowding issues more efficiently managed property I see a lot 1593 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:16,120 Speaker 2: of pluses for this, and see what you say to 1594 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,560 Speaker 2: see how you react to this. Going back to the 1595 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,360 Speaker 2: whole property tax, if you end up eliminating property tax 1596 01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:24,120 Speaker 2: in Ohio, and I know that's a train wreck for 1597 01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,679 Speaker 2: a lot of people, but if you had county wide 1598 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:33,679 Speaker 2: school boards, allocating the resources to a single school board 1599 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 2: would be a dam site easier than allocating the resources 1600 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 2: to what you said, six hundred different ones in the 1601 01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 2: state of Ohio. If it's going to be centrally distributed 1602 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 2: in terms of the whatever revenue is being used to 1603 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 2: fund the schools, yeah. 1604 01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 1: Well, and I think you know centralization. You want to 1605 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 1: be careful with that, right Yeah, you don't want to 1606 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 1: move everything entirely to Columbus or everything entirely to. 1607 01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:56,240 Speaker 5: Washington, d C. 1608 01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 1: But we have to find a balance, and right now 1609 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 1: the imbalance exists with the amount that we have. When 1610 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:05,360 Speaker 1: I lived in Franklin County near Columbus, the community I 1611 01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: lived in, I paid taxes. I filed income taxes Brian 1612 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:17,040 Speaker 1: to six different entities. Columbus City of Reynoldsburg, a joint 1613 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 1: a jed, a district that we had a special taxing 1614 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 1: district that we had there probably not a JED, a 1615 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:27,080 Speaker 1: special taxing district, the school district, the state of Ohio, 1616 01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 1: and the federal income taxes. On top of that, I 1617 01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:32,839 Speaker 1: had property taxes. And when you look at your property 1618 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,559 Speaker 1: tax bill, which more and more that's becoming transparent, you're paying, 1619 01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, for a dozen more levies that go to 1620 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,680 Speaker 1: all these different political subdivisions, all in a lot of ways, 1621 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,960 Speaker 1: right Brian, services we want I like police showing up 1622 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,840 Speaker 1: when my when there's an emergency. I like fire if 1623 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 1: there's an issue at my home. I want to be 1624 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,519 Speaker 1: I want to have safe roads to drive on, and 1625 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,320 Speaker 1: I want to know that you know, if I choose 1626 01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 1: to send my kid to a public school, that it's 1627 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,760 Speaker 1: going to be a good education. But there is we 1628 01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:03,720 Speaker 1: have so many of these entities taking a slice out 1629 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:07,720 Speaker 1: of our pocketbook. That's at the heart of why we 1630 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,800 Speaker 1: are experiencing the property tax crisis we're experiencing right now. 1631 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 1: So many of these political subdivisions exist, and there are 1632 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 1: some opportunities for consolidation, shared services, and other collaborative agreements 1633 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,599 Speaker 1: to bring that number down, and ultimately that delivers relief 1634 01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:28,559 Speaker 1: to Ohioans and creates a more economic prosperous future, so 1635 01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:31,519 Speaker 1: that states like Texas, Tennessee, and Florida stop taking our 1636 01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 1: jobs an opportunity and they come here to the economic 1637 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 1: engine of the Midwest. 1638 01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:37,840 Speaker 2: All right, assuming this concept is embraced and we are 1639 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:39,800 Speaker 2: convinced that it's the right way to go, doesn't this 1640 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 2: require each of these individual political subdivisions to be willing 1641 01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:45,840 Speaker 2: to give up their control. A lot of people view 1642 01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:49,280 Speaker 2: these as their own independent fiefdoms, like police departments. I'm 1643 01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,439 Speaker 2: not working with them, and this is mine. You can't 1644 01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 2: trot on my neighborhood, you know, burber Berberg. There's a 1645 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,439 Speaker 2: lot of that going on, and politicians typically act like that. 1646 01:29:56,520 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 2: So this is going to require the relinquishment of control 1647 01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,519 Speaker 2: by these various entities. What have you ever known a. 1648 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 1: Politician or an elected official, no matter how small their 1649 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,040 Speaker 1: political government is, to let it go. 1650 01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,479 Speaker 2: No, it's near impossible. The last time. 1651 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,120 Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing this I mentioned earlier in the segment. 1652 01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,080 Speaker 1: This isn't a new concept. Right, If you might remember 1653 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,759 Speaker 1: some of your listeners might remember back in two thousand 1654 01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 1: and nine, we experienced an economic crisis, right, two dosy 1655 01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 1: nine experience an economic crisis. John Kasik came in as 1656 01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 1: governor fixed the state budget, and one of the big 1657 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,240 Speaker 1: conversations at that time was what we were going to 1658 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,160 Speaker 1: do about all these political subdivisions in Ohio. 1659 01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 2: Reports were put out. 1660 01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:41,080 Speaker 1: Buckeye Institute Greg Laws and put out a great report 1661 01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 1: talking about this. The governor had an Office of Transformation 1662 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 1: on that Auditor of State Debut's who I was working 1663 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,160 Speaker 1: for at the time. We went out and talked about 1664 01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:52,519 Speaker 1: skinny Ohio and shared services. The problem, though, Brian, you 1665 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:57,560 Speaker 1: hit on it. The problem is the fiefdoms and these 1666 01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 1: folks who are out there who have their special district 1667 01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,320 Speaker 1: or their governmental entity. And just like Congress, you love 1668 01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,639 Speaker 1: your congressman, but you hate Congress. People love their local government, 1669 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,640 Speaker 1: but they hate the cost of it. We've got to 1670 01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 1: come to a reconciliation here because it's bleeding us dry. 1671 01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:18,120 Speaker 1: And that's you know, the flag and banner we're raising 1672 01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:21,240 Speaker 1: out there is that, if you you know, underlying this 1673 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,840 Speaker 1: property tax crisis is a big government problem and it's 1674 01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:28,960 Speaker 1: not entirely in Columbus right now. It's in the villages, township, 1675 01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:30,719 Speaker 1: school districts and counties that your. 1676 01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:32,960 Speaker 2: Local government. 1677 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 1: And we need folks to get engaged and start start 1678 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:36,920 Speaker 1: asking for more accountability there. 1679 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,320 Speaker 2: Well for those desirous of political expedients. Again, if we 1680 01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,599 Speaker 2: embrace this concept and the majority of people are all 1681 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 2: in favor of it, this isn't as if Columbus could 1682 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,720 Speaker 2: pass some piece of legislation that would streamline all these 1683 01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 2: various jurisdictions, they would have to relinquish that control themselves, 1684 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 2: or the local voters would have to say we here. 1685 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,080 Speaker 2: Let's say I live in Simms Township, we agree to 1686 01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:02,760 Speaker 2: merge with Loveland as a political entity or subvision or 1687 01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 2: something along those lines. It would require local consent. 1688 01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:10,720 Speaker 1: Well, for instances of villages that local consent is already available. 1689 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:14,120 Speaker 1: You can go and get a small fraction of signatures, 1690 01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: put it on the ballot and let the voters vote 1691 01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:18,479 Speaker 1: on that. Wouldn't that be novel Brian instead of and 1692 01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:21,519 Speaker 1: that exists today. But we don't see that happening across 1693 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,599 Speaker 1: the state of Ohio because who wants to be that 1694 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,320 Speaker 1: parie in their community? Right going, you're going to abolish 1695 01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,960 Speaker 1: the village. So there's a lot at play. I think 1696 01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 1: what we need to do is regionalize some of this stuff. 1697 01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,760 Speaker 1: So it's hard to get it done in Columbus because 1698 01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,200 Speaker 1: there are literally tens of thousands of paid lobbyists. If 1699 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:42,240 Speaker 1: the states would have passed alat a day abolishing villages 1700 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:46,640 Speaker 1: or consolidating schools, the outcry and pressure campaign from that 1701 01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,519 Speaker 1: would be unbearable. 1702 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:48,320 Speaker 12: I think. 1703 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 1: But I think you regionalize it. You allow folks local 1704 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 1: in their communities to make some of these decisions. I 1705 01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:56,760 Speaker 1: think there's some opportunities to reform. We've seen though that 1706 01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 1: the voluntary disarmament doesn't seem to be working because those 1707 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: options are available today, but it's not happening. 1708 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, not in my backyard. Oh Donovan, you've got a 1709 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,040 Speaker 2: tough road to ho on this one. But that's what 1710 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,200 Speaker 2: you're going to be talking about.

They do this what they 1718 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,760 Speaker 2: call take twenty twenty minutes worth of information from him, 1719 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:35,040 Speaker 2: along with Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity. Donovan, hope 1720 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:36,600 Speaker 2: you have a well attended seminar, and I hope you 1721 01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:38,840 Speaker 2: flush out some of these ideas and maybe we'll see 1722 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:43,519 Speaker 2: some direction or some positive movements in this direction. But 1723 01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,679 Speaker 2: it's going to take some work at a grassroots level. 1724 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,519 Speaker 1: Absolutely always does. Thanks Brian, I appreciate it. 1725 01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 2: Thank you Donald and O'Neil.

He 1735 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:17,400 Speaker 13: had a speaking engagement on a local defense contractor and 1736 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:20,200 Speaker 13: it was what yesterday was should be all about. 1737 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 2: That is correct. That and remembering my late father on 1738 01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:28,320 Speaker 2: his birthday. Sorry, oh real quick on that. I want 1739 01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:31,519 Speaker 2: to thank everybody. Got like almost four hundred people chiming in. 1740 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:34,760 Speaker 2: I wished my father a happy heavenly birthday yesterday and Facebook, 1741 01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:37,640 Speaker 2: and I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love by 1742 01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 2: people who commented on that or otherwise responded to that. 1743 01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,280 Speaker 2: So thank you to each and every one of you. 1744 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,160 Speaker 2: That was really heartwarming. Go ahead, Mike, I'm sorry, but 1745 01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:45,800 Speaker 2: truth test. 1746 01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:48,280 Speaker 13: Admit to the man that Jerry Thomas was no doubt. 1747 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 2: That's what I like to think. That's why I felt 1748 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:50,880 Speaker 2: so good about it. 1749 01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:55,400 Speaker 13: Yes, sir, yes, sir. Every day we hear Tom's tagline 1750 01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 13: don't democrat very sage advice, and more often than not 1751 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 13: they prove why that is such an apt line. Two 1752 01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,600 Speaker 13: local instances. One's almost two days old. But I was 1753 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:10,120 Speaker 13: not going to desecrate Veterans Day yesterday by talking about 1754 01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 13: may or aftamp. But I will today during his campaign 1755 01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:16,479 Speaker 13: once he realized how bad he dropped. The ball was 1756 01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 13: snow removal, not that it would have made any difference, 1757 01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 13: as you and Joe have been shown with how these 1758 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,839 Speaker 13: different neighborhoods voted and they're still getting the same poor service. 1759 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:29,080 Speaker 13: But anyway that the snowplows tracks will be laid out, 1760 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,400 Speaker 13: you can go to the website. You can see where 1761 01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:34,920 Speaker 13: we're at what's been done. Well, it didn't happen. And 1762 01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:39,960 Speaker 13: his excuse was it wasn't an insignificant snowfall. Well, what's significant? 1763 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:42,400 Speaker 13: Two inches, three inches, half a foot, it doesn't matter, 1764 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 13: because you know, the guy that died in Bethel yesterday, 1765 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,800 Speaker 13: he probably thought it was significant, his family, the people 1766 01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:50,360 Speaker 13: sitting on Cross County Highway, and I'm sure there was 1767 01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,320 Speaker 13: one or two people stuck amongst the seven Hills of Cincinnati. 1768 01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,960 Speaker 13: So once again, just an empty suit promise that he 1769 01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:00,000 Speaker 13: cannot lead and have foresight. The other one who dropped 1770 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 13: the ball and was out all over the news yesterday 1771 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:06,439 Speaker 13: was our good representative, Greg Lansman, you know, and the 1772 01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,640 Speaker 13: headline was the breaking news was that Greg Landsman's going 1773 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,320 Speaker 13: to vote no. Greg Landsman voted no, the first time 1774 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,080 Speaker 13: Greg Landsman would have voted no matter what. 1775 01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:15,320 Speaker 10: That's not news. 1776 01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 13: And he's once again laming about the thirty two thousand 1777 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 13: constituents are going to lose their health care. 1778 01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:21,479 Speaker 5: Why is that? 1779 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:24,559 Speaker 13: And you have laid it out perfectly, the Democrats put 1780 01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:27,040 Speaker 13: it in you don't need subsidies if it's affordable, and 1781 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 13: of course it was due to sunset anyway. So it's 1782 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,439 Speaker 13: got nothing to do the Republicans, and as Tom Apptley says, 1783 01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:34,400 Speaker 13: don't vote Democrats. 1784 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:36,760 Speaker 2: God bless you, Mike. Thanks again for your service or 1785 01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:38,640 Speaker 2: our country. I appreciate you tuning of the program and 1786 01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,880 Speaker 2: offering your thoughts and comments. Sandy to offer her thoughts 1787 01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 2: and comments. Welcome to the program, Sandy, thanks for calling. 1788 01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:51,080 Speaker 14: Good morning, Brian. Yeah, you do capitalize kind of offer 1789 01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:54,840 Speaker 14: which the gentleman just said, snow removal on things. We 1790 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 14: shared services in this regionalism that the previous guests to 1791 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:05,679 Speaker 14: was talking about combining counties or villages or something together. 1792 01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:09,439 Speaker 14: You're going to find the services out. And so let's 1793 01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:14,000 Speaker 14: just suppose you merged with Hamilton County. They've got how 1794 01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,200 Speaker 14: many shootings every day or drownings, you know, there could 1795 01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,120 Speaker 14: be five drownings and you got one dive team. How 1796 01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:22,639 Speaker 14: are you going to do this this? And then you 1797 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:26,360 Speaker 14: if you're going to share services, you're going to share 1798 01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:31,320 Speaker 14: funds and they're going to be you know, hands in 1799 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:35,320 Speaker 14: the pot I don't belong and money laundered to different places. 1800 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,120 Speaker 14: I don't think this is a good idea, and I 1801 01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,240 Speaker 14: don't know how they got under the empower you. But 1802 01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:45,000 Speaker 14: this is like sneaky socialism at a really low level. 1803 01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,719 Speaker 14: And then you're going to share cheat you know the moneies. 1804 01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:50,840 Speaker 14: You know who's going to get the most, but do 1805 01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:52,000 Speaker 14: the least the same. 1806 01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:56,120 Speaker 2: Honestly, I really don't. I'd see. I can't see the 1807 01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 2: future and know how this would ultimately work out. I 1808 01:37:57,920 --> 01:37:59,720 Speaker 2: don't know how many people drowned, but how many dive 1809 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:02,080 Speaker 2: teams do you really need? Ask the police department that 1810 01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:04,639 Speaker 2: if there are a number of drownings increases, they can 1811 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:08,400 Speaker 2: increase capacity for the folks that can investigate these Those 1812 01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,800 Speaker 2: things are happening real time right now, regardless, and some 1813 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:14,880 Speaker 2: police departments are overwhelmed constantly. The city of Cincinnati is 1814 01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,720 Speaker 2: down two hundred plus police officers and growing number every day. 1815 01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,400 Speaker 2: They still manage to deal with it on some level. 1816 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:24,320 Speaker 2: Maybe additional resources like from the state will help supplement 1817 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,040 Speaker 2: see because there's more crime going on in Cincinnati. Maybe 1818 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,479 Speaker 2: you get more allocation of law enforcement resources in the 1819 01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,960 Speaker 2: area that actually needs it, and you reduce the number 1820 01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:33,920 Speaker 2: where there is no crime. There's not a whole lot 1821 01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:36,920 Speaker 2: of crime in this neighborhood or that neighborhood need a 1822 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,400 Speaker 2: full contingent of your own police department personnel, if there's 1823 01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:44,840 Speaker 2: never really any substantive crime. These are the details, And 1824 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 2: I don't know how this is a walk towards socialism, 1825 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,760 Speaker 2: assuming you have the right people that are responsible for 1826 01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,840 Speaker 2: allocating the dollars. When you're living in a government world, 1827 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:55,759 Speaker 2: when you're electing public officials, most of them malignant narcisses, 1828 01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:58,920 Speaker 2: is only looking for their invest interests, regardless of political stripe. 1829 01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,320 Speaker 2: It's a recipe for disaster. But this is a problem 1830 01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:04,880 Speaker 2: we face whether there's six hundred jurisdictions or ten or 1831 01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,800 Speaker 2: eighty eight, as Donovan O'Neil suggests. So Donovan and Neil 1832 01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:11,360 Speaker 2: on Americans for Prosperity is not out to perpetuate or 1833 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:14,040 Speaker 2: increase socialism. In fact, it's the polar opposite. He's just 1834 01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 2: looking for some government efficiency. Now, there are problems with 1835 01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:19,599 Speaker 2: the plan. As I pointed out, it's going to require 1836 01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,320 Speaker 2: a collective buy in from all these local governments willing 1837 01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:24,679 Speaker 2: to hand over the keys of authority, which I think 1838 01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 2: you and I can both agree probably not going to happen. 1839 01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:30,519 Speaker 2: So we'll be stuck with status quo. But as he 1840 01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:35,480 Speaker 2: regularly points out, status quo ain't working it's very inefficient 1841 01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,800 Speaker 2: as well. Again, you're hearing from a guy who really 1842 01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:41,879 Speaker 2: appreciates the concept of local as opposed to distant government. 1843 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,600 Speaker 2: Seven fifty six. It doesn't mean his problem, it's not 1844 01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:48,040 Speaker 2: worth exploring. Over the top of the hour News Adam, 1845 01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:52,320 Speaker 2: it'll i the fifty five caro ce Detalk Station.

That's more more than gracious, no happy to 1867 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:53,640 Speaker 5: do it. 1868 01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:57,000 Speaker 2: And your background is just it's such an outstanding background 1869 01:40:57,080 --> 01:41:00,479 Speaker 2: to talk about January sixth from the perspective of someone 1870 01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:03,360 Speaker 2: who like a dear dear friend of mine who spent 1871 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:06,680 Speaker 2: ten years in America's military doing pyop work. He can 1872 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,920 Speaker 2: rave a weed fly, that's syop, that's SiO, that's black Swan, 1873 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,920 Speaker 2: and I mean it's it's it's almost like, well, you 1874 01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,120 Speaker 2: sound like a conspiracy theory, but there are trained people 1875 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:19,679 Speaker 2: like yourself that are just that, that engage in these 1876 01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:23,160 Speaker 2: operations for the purpose of achieving a political goal. So 1877 01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,559 Speaker 2: what you're seeing with your own eyes isn't necessarily what 1878 01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:28,719 Speaker 2: it really is. It's designed with a broader, larger purpose. 1879 01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:31,719 Speaker 2: Your suggestion, perhaps JA six is one of those type 1880 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:32,240 Speaker 2: of events. 1881 01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, well, you know, it's interesting. I was there at 1882 01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:38,920 Speaker 12: January sixth, I work with my wife and a couple 1883 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,160 Speaker 12: of friends of ours, and it was a really I 1884 01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:43,880 Speaker 12: have to say, the word I would use is lovely, 1885 01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:48,479 Speaker 12: lovely group of people, you know, like patriotic Americans like 1886 01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:52,920 Speaker 12: and I remember as we march from the Washington Monumentopolis 1887 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,040 Speaker 12: down towards the Capitol, there's a very family, you know 1888 01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 12: type friendly sitting where you had literally, you know, kids 1889 01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:00,800 Speaker 12: and strollers being pushed along. 1890 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:01,760 Speaker 6: But what was. 1891 01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,680 Speaker 12: Really the thing that really kind of stuck out like 1892 01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:07,519 Speaker 12: a sore thumb were what appeared to be like these 1893 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,720 Speaker 12: kind of professional educators that would try and get the 1894 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,960 Speaker 12: crowd worked up, and you know, it just didn't fit 1895 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,000 Speaker 12: the vibe and it didn't fit the people who were there. 1896 01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,880 Speaker 12: And I remember at the time thinking, man, this stinks 1897 01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,559 Speaker 12: something that they're like, there's I think there's some shady 1898 01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:25,360 Speaker 12: stuff going on here. But we none of us, none 1899 01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:27,400 Speaker 12: of us thought that it might be that air quotes 1900 01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:29,200 Speaker 12: bed you know what I mean, like two hundred and 1901 01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:32,639 Speaker 12: fifty FBI agents planet in there. And this was back 1902 01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:35,360 Speaker 12: in the day when I think, you know, all Americans 1903 01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,160 Speaker 12: really thought that we were still on the same side, 1904 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,439 Speaker 12: the same kind of page, and that it wasn't really 1905 01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:46,519 Speaker 12: a politics and party over you know, patriotism and duty 1906 01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,559 Speaker 12: kind of situation. But man, later with the pipe bomber 1907 01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:52,160 Speaker 12: stuff that's come out and you find out she's allegedly, 1908 01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 12: you know, a capital police officer. I mean, I this 1909 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,599 Speaker 12: stuff is just smacks of everything that the deep state 1910 01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,759 Speaker 12: became under. You know, I would say the last twenty 1911 01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:05,280 Speaker 12: plus years where the gloves really came off after nine 1912 01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:06,800 Speaker 12: to eleven. When I say the gloves, I mean the 1913 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:10,320 Speaker 12: gloves as far as you know, tightening its restrictions on 1914 01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:13,960 Speaker 12: American people and surveillance state, and you know, the Patriot 1915 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:17,000 Speaker 12: Act was supposed to be temporary and all these other things. 1916 01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:20,280 Speaker 12: So you had a lot of a lot of sort 1917 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:23,200 Speaker 12: of free reign with very little oversight, and that's how 1918 01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 12: you ended up, in my opinion, with things like crossfire, hurricanes, 1919 01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,920 Speaker 12: and you know, the Russia Russia Russia stuff and fast 1920 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:33,960 Speaker 12: and furious, and I mean, it just it's really it's 1921 01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:37,400 Speaker 12: really sad what the political landscape has turned into with 1922 01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:41,040 Speaker 12: the DC crowd. You know, John Adams said that our 1923 01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,280 Speaker 12: constitution in our country are basically only as strong as 1924 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,080 Speaker 12: the morality of its people. And you know, the Constitution 1925 01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:50,960 Speaker 12: is not fit or anything other than moral people. And 1926 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,200 Speaker 12: I really see how far we've fallen as a country, 1927 01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,800 Speaker 12: and it just it really concerns me to no end. 1928 01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:59,960 Speaker 12: And that's literally why I wrote the book The Alpha Blueprint, 1929 01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:04,640 Speaker 12: about guiding this next generation, helping them see truth in 1930 01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:08,880 Speaker 12: the world that's designed to lie to them and manipulate them. Well, 1931 01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:12,200 Speaker 12: you know, yeah, go ahead, Sorry. 1932 01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:15,479 Speaker 2: No, I know I agree with everything you say. There's 1933 01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:17,479 Speaker 2: no arguing yet. I mean, you think about the Steele DOSSI, 1934 01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:20,360 Speaker 2: a false made up designed to undermine Donald Trump's Donald 1935 01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:23,000 Speaker 2: Trump even being elected president. After that, then they use 1936 01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:25,840 Speaker 2: that to perpetuate this impeachment RUSSA Russia, Russia. Now we 1937 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:28,959 Speaker 2: find out about Arctic frost. Now we see that maybe, 1938 01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:33,400 Speaker 2: just maybe, a Capital Security Police officer presently identified as 1939 01:44:33,400 --> 01:44:35,720 Speaker 2: a woman named Shawnie Kirkhoff may have been the one 1940 01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:39,160 Speaker 2: who planted the bombs. And that's important in terms of timing, 1941 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:42,800 Speaker 2: because this whole J six thing turned into Oh my god, 1942 01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:47,280 Speaker 2: Donald Trump caused chaos and violence. His goal was to 1943 01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:51,559 Speaker 2: undermine the election and interfere with it. It's an impeachable defense 1944 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,240 Speaker 2: and everything. And I've just looked at it as and 1945 01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:54,559 Speaker 2: you were there at I mean, you just pointed out 1946 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:57,920 Speaker 2: what I've always thought. It was a peaceful gathering pretty 1947 01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,880 Speaker 2: far distance from the Capitol. Most people were just there 1948 01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,519 Speaker 2: and they decided to walk down And if you listen 1949 01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,280 Speaker 2: to the speech, Donald Trump didn't encourage them to take 1950 01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:09,360 Speaker 2: over break into the Capitol at no single time. In fact, 1951 01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 2: we just find out they've had to. You know, BBC 1952 01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 2: had to apologize for doctoring his speech to make it 1953 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:18,280 Speaker 2: appear as though he sounded that way. There's no evidence 1954 01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:21,280 Speaker 2: of it and there never was, so that's right. 1955 01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:23,559 Speaker 12: In fact, I was there when he said We're going 1956 01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:27,000 Speaker 12: to peacefully and patriotically go down there and make our 1957 01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,960 Speaker 12: voices heard, you know, And I'm like that. It's just 1958 01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:34,000 Speaker 12: amazing how dishonest media is. And you know, the reason 1959 01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,920 Speaker 12: why my former employer, the CIA, came up with the 1960 01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:42,920 Speaker 12: term conspiracy theorists is to discredit anyone through which question 1961 01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:46,760 Speaker 12: the narrative. And so whether it's the JFK thing, you know, 1962 01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:49,599 Speaker 12: tower seven falling on its own after nine to eleven 1963 01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:53,559 Speaker 12: WMD in Iraq, I mean, it's I go into this 1964 01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,080 Speaker 12: kind of stuff in the book because I was a 1965 01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:56,960 Speaker 12: product of. 1966 01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 5: The Global War on Terror. 1967 01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:00,519 Speaker 12: You know, it's a young military officer or when nine 1968 01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,400 Speaker 12: to eleven happened and I wanted to go fight everybody, 1969 01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:07,839 Speaker 12: and I did, and then you know, lo and behold, 1970 01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,439 Speaker 12: twenty years later, it's kind of become clear to me 1971 01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:13,760 Speaker 12: that we were manipulated by our own country and sent 1972 01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:18,200 Speaker 12: to go do some pretty you know, pretty dangerous stuff, 1973 01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:21,800 Speaker 12: and we lost a whole bunch of people all for 1974 01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:25,800 Speaker 12: for what for some political motives of politicians. I mean, 1975 01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:31,040 Speaker 12: it's just it's unacceptable. It's it's unethical, it's immoral, it's illegal, 1976 01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:35,439 Speaker 12: it's unconstitutional. I mean I I I expect more from 1977 01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,920 Speaker 12: our leaders. And you know, that's what I'm trying to 1978 01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,320 Speaker 12: do is say, okay, well we've seen what we've seen 1979 01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,360 Speaker 12: a bad example of what shouldn't be. Now, how do 1980 01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:47,840 Speaker 12: we pick up the ashes of what's left young kids, 1981 01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:50,559 Speaker 12: and how do we guide you into a world that's 1982 01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,080 Speaker 12: you know, going to give you a best shot at 1983 01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:55,880 Speaker 12: being that upstanding, good, moral American citizens. 1984 01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:58,240 Speaker 2: And I certainly applaud those efforts. We certainly need them 1985 01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:00,920 Speaker 2: right now given this division that is being fostered, and 1986 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,640 Speaker 2: encourage the Alpha Blueprint, Preparing for the Next Generation, for 1987 01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:06,559 Speaker 2: an AI future the name of Adam Hardin's book. My 1988 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:08,920 Speaker 2: concern is this now, amid all the backdrop that we 1989 01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,960 Speaker 2: just sort of briefly summarized all these things that caused 1990 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:15,280 Speaker 2: me a you know, I love American I love America 1991 01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:17,599 Speaker 2: and what it stands for someone who believes in our country, 1992 01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:21,559 Speaker 2: But now is really having problem with these institutions that 1993 01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:24,080 Speaker 2: we used to look up to, the FBI, the CIA, 1994 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:29,479 Speaker 2: the DJ This has created a well, a perception we 1995 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:32,599 Speaker 2: can't count our own government. Doesn't this serve the interest 1996 01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:37,120 Speaker 2: of those who seek to undermine us these revelations. I mean, 1997 01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:39,519 Speaker 2: we're already divided. The goal of Marxist is of course, 1998 01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,760 Speaker 2: the divide is so completely't we aren't even willing to 1999 01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:43,920 Speaker 2: fight for our own country. Why would I be willing 2000 01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:48,040 Speaker 2: to fight for a country who's who's weaponized departments within 2001 01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:50,680 Speaker 2: government against my political philosophy? 2002 01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:56,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's it's you raise an extremely valid points. 2003 01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:59,400 Speaker 12: You know, I actually was fired from the CIA back 2004 01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:05,759 Speaker 12: in twenty in early twenty seventeen after Trump forty five 2005 01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:11,599 Speaker 12: came into office, and I had raised some serious concerns 2006 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:15,640 Speaker 12: with the way that the agency was acting towards I 2007 01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:19,880 Speaker 12: shouldn't say the agency, I should say the outgoing director 2008 01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:23,320 Speaker 12: brand who is now under indictment. The way he was 2009 01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:25,600 Speaker 12: acting towards an incoming president, and I thought that he 2010 01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,680 Speaker 12: was not serving the best interest of the office, the 2011 01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:32,200 Speaker 12: oath of office which he had taken. And I was 2012 01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:35,960 Speaker 12: showing the door rather quickly, which was just you know, 2013 01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,280 Speaker 12: a symptom of the time that we were in. And 2014 01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 12: so what was interesting is this is right about the 2015 01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:45,479 Speaker 12: same time my old boss, General Mike Flynn, who I 2016 01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:48,040 Speaker 12: started out in the Defends Intelligence Agency before I went 2017 01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:50,920 Speaker 12: over to CIA, and he was my old boss, you know, 2018 01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:55,439 Speaker 12: America's general and I stood by his side when and 2019 01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:59,840 Speaker 12: it was very clear to me in twenty seventeen that 2020 01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:03,040 Speaker 12: he was being targeted, you know, as the National Security 2021 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,360 Speaker 12: Advisor is the brand new National Security Advisor, that he 2022 01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,479 Speaker 12: was being targeted and housted politically, And that's exactly what 2023 01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,960 Speaker 12: happened to him. And I mean that's I was very 2024 01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,439 Speaker 12: blessed that he was willing to write the ford for 2025 01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:16,559 Speaker 12: my book and endorse it, you know, nine years later 2026 01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,920 Speaker 12: or eight years later, because I stood by his side. 2027 01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,920 Speaker 12: But it was a very lonely time for people like 2028 01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:25,799 Speaker 12: General Flynn and myself, you know, as we were literally 2029 01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:28,960 Speaker 12: crushed by the deep state, and you know, I mean 2030 01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,080 Speaker 12: I was like, I don't understand. I've I've been to 2031 01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:33,479 Speaker 12: four wars, I've given twenty years of my life, I've 2032 01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,280 Speaker 12: given everything that I have. 2033 01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:37,280 Speaker 5: I have literally. 2034 01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:38,840 Speaker 12: Landed at night in the battle, you know, in the 2035 01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:44,040 Speaker 12: backyard of bad guy's compounds, going in to either do 2036 01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:46,559 Speaker 12: bad things to them or you know, put them in 2037 01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:49,240 Speaker 12: custody and take them to justice. 2038 01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,200 Speaker 5: But I'm like, what what was all that for? 2039 01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:52,600 Speaker 6: You know? 2040 01:49:53,320 --> 01:49:56,320 Speaker 12: And and when you look at that, and you really 2041 01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:58,680 Speaker 12: just end up being disgusted with your leadership, and you 2042 01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,760 Speaker 12: can either kind of crumble under a rock and you know, 2043 01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:03,479 Speaker 12: let the bad guys win, which is kind of like 2044 01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:05,920 Speaker 12: exect what you're saying. That's what you know, Marxism and 2045 01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:09,839 Speaker 12: Communism would want. But instead, you know, what I decided 2046 01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:13,480 Speaker 12: to do is just you know, be the god fearing, spiritual, 2047 01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:15,960 Speaker 12: hopeful man that I am and say, okay, well, you 2048 01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,599 Speaker 12: know understanding how the world really really really works now 2049 01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:23,160 Speaker 12: and I don't think what we're seeing today is probably 2050 01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:26,080 Speaker 12: any different than what they've seen over the last thousands 2051 01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:28,519 Speaker 12: of years. That humanity has been around. I think the 2052 01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:32,960 Speaker 12: world just works that way. But within that, how do 2053 01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:35,920 Speaker 12: we operate where we cannot just survive but thrive? And 2054 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:40,800 Speaker 12: that's where I look towards, you know, divinity and embracing 2055 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:45,120 Speaker 12: our own individual God given talents and creativity and finding 2056 01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:48,280 Speaker 12: our own way outside of the proverbial matrix. And so 2057 01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,559 Speaker 12: I go into a lot of that in the book 2058 01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,280 Speaker 12: as well. But we live in very, very strange. 2059 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:54,160 Speaker 5: Times where. 2060 01:50:56,560 --> 01:51:01,080 Speaker 12: Reality can be manipulated faster than you can and scroll 2061 01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:04,599 Speaker 12: uh on your Instagram feed from one post to the next. 2062 01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:06,719 Speaker 5: They can literally they. 2063 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:08,920 Speaker 12: Can literally change it in real time. And I shouldn't 2064 01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,519 Speaker 12: even say day because it's not even days anymore. It's 2065 01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:15,400 Speaker 12: all machines and it's automation now. So whereas ten years 2066 01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:19,480 Speaker 12: ago it was it required humans to call Mark Zuckerberg 2067 01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:23,280 Speaker 12: and say, hey, you are going to censor any conservatives 2068 01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:24,960 Speaker 12: or you are going to censor all. 2069 01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:26,280 Speaker 5: Of these companies, right you? 2070 01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:29,800 Speaker 12: In fact, I mean I was also caught up in 2071 01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:30,920 Speaker 12: that fish in that as well. 2072 01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:35,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have the FBI situated in offices over at 2073 01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:37,200 Speaker 2: Facebook for example, doing just that. 2074 01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:43,440 Speaker 12: I know, like the the most unbelievable, the most incredible 2075 01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:45,719 Speaker 12: overreach of government power. 2076 01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:47,960 Speaker 5: And I mean you. 2077 01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 12: Want to talk about violations of you know, Fourth Amendment 2078 01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:54,439 Speaker 12: with Americans, right, you know, uh like protecting against the 2079 01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,040 Speaker 12: lawful search and seizure. I mean you got freedom of 2080 01:51:57,120 --> 01:52:00,800 Speaker 12: speech was completely crushed, and if you stepped outside of 2081 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:06,360 Speaker 12: the COVID narrative, for example, you were absolutely destroyed. I 2082 01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,800 Speaker 12: was running a company at the time. Ironically it happened 2083 01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:13,080 Speaker 12: to be a telehealth company called Remote Health Solutions, and 2084 01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:15,360 Speaker 12: I went up, I went out, spoke out against the 2085 01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:20,360 Speaker 12: COVID narrative, and we were canceled on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, 2086 01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:23,920 Speaker 12: We couldn't run ads, we lost our commercial insurance, we 2087 01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,600 Speaker 12: lost every single one of our Defense Department contracts that 2088 01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,120 Speaker 12: we had won at the time.

Atrocious abuse 2105 01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:14,160 Speaker 2: of power, just one of many that Adam Harden could 2106 01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:16,000 Speaker 2: probably go on ad nausema back, get a copy of 2107 01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,320 Speaker 2: the Alpha Blueprint his book and learn more. But going 2108 01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:22,280 Speaker 2: really quickly here back to Jay sixth.

Artificial intelligence looking at her gate and 2112 01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:33,519 Speaker 2: her image and all that seems to have narrowed this 2113 01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:36,519 Speaker 2: down sufficiently to look into it. Here we are. It's 2114 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:39,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Adam, and it took some independent investigators 2115 01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:42,120 Speaker 2: to do it. The FBI has been busily rounding up 2116 01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:45,080 Speaker 2: every single human being in a five mile square area 2117 01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:48,720 Speaker 2: of the J six protest, and they found all of them. 2118 01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:51,080 Speaker 2: They prosecuted in the fullest extent of the law. Why 2119 01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,439 Speaker 2: didn't they go after the person right away who planted 2120 01:53:53,479 --> 01:53:54,759 Speaker 2: the bombs? My friend? 2121 01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:57,639 Speaker 5: Oh, you know, let's dig even deeper. 2122 01:53:57,720 --> 01:54:00,800 Speaker 12: Let's let's by the way as the power you would say, 2123 01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:02,640 Speaker 12: you know, don't look under that rock, don't kick that 2124 01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:05,519 Speaker 12: one over. But pulling that back a little bit more, 2125 01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:08,960 Speaker 12: were those bombs even uh, you know active, Did they 2126 01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:12,280 Speaker 12: have any active ingredients? And I certainly doubt it. I 2127 01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:15,600 Speaker 12: would imagine that those were inert planet that she was 2128 01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:18,280 Speaker 12: probably tasked to do that and give it a cush 2129 01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:21,880 Speaker 12: job afterwards, and all for political gain, and you know, 2130 01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,240 Speaker 12: to destroy basically. 2131 01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:24,519 Speaker 5: A lot of it. 2132 01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:28,080 Speaker 12: I believe that January sixth, the COVID narrative, all of 2133 01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:32,160 Speaker 12: that stuff was all wrapped up together with various attempts 2134 01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:36,520 Speaker 12: to unseat a duly elected president and to usher in 2135 01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:40,040 Speaker 12: a soft coup or a color revolution, you know, against 2136 01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:43,600 Speaker 12: the American people. It's I mean, it's just it's and 2137 01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:45,480 Speaker 12: it's when one thing didn't work there, what's the next 2138 01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:46,760 Speaker 12: thing to the next thing, to the next thing. So 2139 01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:50,879 Speaker 12: it's the indictments, it's the Arctic cross it's the crossfire hurricane, 2140 01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:53,280 Speaker 12: it's you know, it's all the things that we've talked about, 2141 01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 12: and it just went on and on, and I don't 2142 01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:59,760 Speaker 12: know how President Trump is still standing. And he actually 2143 01:54:59,800 --> 01:55:03,720 Speaker 12: looked younger and better and stronger than he did before. 2144 01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:05,560 Speaker 12: I'm like, I pass off to you. 2145 01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:05,800 Speaker 6: Man. 2146 01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:09,040 Speaker 12: It's like, don don Junior talk about him, and he's like, 2147 01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:11,720 Speaker 12: He's like, the man hasn't slept in three days and 2148 01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,280 Speaker 12: he's still going. You know, I kick quit now. 2149 01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like it's like cancer feeding off sugar. He 2150 01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:22,960 Speaker 2: feeds off of his political oppositions, anger and hatred toward him. 2151 01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,280 Speaker 2: He lives rent free in all their heads and that 2152 01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:27,040 Speaker 2: gets him out of bed every single day, to the 2153 01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:29,520 Speaker 2: extent even goes to bed. Adam hard. 2154 01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:31,720 Speaker 6: I was just going to. 2155 01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:34,920 Speaker 5: Say, the White House memes are unbelievable. Yeah, they're coming out. 2156 01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:41,720 Speaker 2: Somebody's using social media finally to a conservative advantage. Adam Hartage, 2157 01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:43,440 Speaker 2: he knows all about it. Get a copy of his book. 2158 01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:45,320 Speaker 2: Joe Strecker's put it on my blog page fifty five 2159 01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:48,839 Speaker 2: KC dot com. The Alpha Blueprint Preparing the Next Generation 2160 01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:51,800 Speaker 2: for an AI future. Adam, thanks for speaking truth to 2161 01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,200 Speaker 2: power and for revealing what's going on behind the scenes, 2162 01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:56,840 Speaker 2: and for your courage and commitment to do just that. 2163 01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:58,880 Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough for spending time with my 2164 01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 2: listeners of me today, and I hope someday got down 2165 01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:02,920 Speaker 2: the road we get to have you back on the 2166 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:08,360 Speaker 2: show any so we have Strecker around for he looks 2167 01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:09,200 Speaker 2: into these things. 2168 01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:11,800 Speaker 15: Thank you, Joe. 2169 01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:15,480 Speaker 2: We are back to a recurring theme with the column today, 2170 01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,280 Speaker 2: which is can the president disrupt free speech? And I 2171 01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:19,720 Speaker 2: had you know, I went back and forth just a 2172 01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,600 Speaker 2: little bit yesterday. I had some outstanding questions. We're talking 2173 01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:24,800 Speaker 2: about the right to peace, lea assemble, We're talking about 2174 01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,160 Speaker 2: the First Amendment, right to free speech. We're talking about 2175 01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:31,360 Speaker 2: prior restraint on free speech. And welcome back one of 2176 01:56:31,360 --> 01:56:34,440 Speaker 2: our favorite cases, Brandenburg versus Ohio. Let's walk through the 2177 01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:36,320 Speaker 2: history of this, because I did not real I couldn't 2178 01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:39,760 Speaker 2: recall the president Woodrow Wilson arrested people for merely reading 2179 01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:41,240 Speaker 2: the Declaration of Independence. 2180 01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:45,520 Speaker 15: Well, not only did he arrest people for reading the 2181 01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:49,919 Speaker 15: Declaration of Independence, he arrested some of his former students 2182 01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:53,280 Speaker 15: when he was the president of Princeton. They were freshmen. 2183 01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:56,200 Speaker 15: By the time they were seniors he was the president 2184 01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:58,000 Speaker 15: of the United States. He was only the governor of 2185 01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:01,840 Speaker 15: New Jersey for eighteen months when he ran for and 2186 01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:05,400 Speaker 15: was elected president. Now, I don't know if they did 2187 01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:08,240 Speaker 15: this to taunt him, if they did this to deter 2188 01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,080 Speaker 15: people from registering for the draft. But he was of 2189 01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:16,120 Speaker 15: the view that any speech which deterred people from registering 2190 01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,560 Speaker 15: for the draft, men for registering for the draft in 2191 01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:24,000 Speaker 15: time of war, was an interference with the war effort, 2192 01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:28,320 Speaker 15: and therefore was criminal. When he was challenged in a 2193 01:57:28,440 --> 01:57:31,600 Speaker 15: press conference. There are two interesting footnotes to this. One 2194 01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:33,800 Speaker 15: is this one when he was challenged in a press 2195 01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:38,720 Speaker 15: conference about how he could arrest people for speech. This 2196 01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:43,520 Speaker 15: former professor of constitutional law at Princeton University said, read 2197 01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,880 Speaker 15: the First Amendment. It says Congress shall make no law 2198 01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:49,200 Speaker 15: bridging the freedom of speech. There's nothing in there about 2199 01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:53,440 Speaker 15: the president. Now you're laughing, because if you had given 2200 01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:58,120 Speaker 15: that answer in an exam in constitutional law in a 2201 01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:00,160 Speaker 15: law school, you'd flown. 2202 01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:04,720 Speaker 2: I can't believe he actually answer said that, okay. 2203 01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:10,000 Speaker 15: Because he's saying that because he was not restrained, he 2204 01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:12,320 Speaker 15: was at liberty to do it. This is the Wilsonian 2205 01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:16,920 Speaker 15: view of the government. It's the opposite of the Madisonian view. Madisonian, 2206 01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:19,800 Speaker 15: which was, with the exception of the Civil War years, 2207 01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:24,720 Speaker 15: pretty much followed from Washington up to the time of Wilson, 2208 01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:28,760 Speaker 15: was that the federal government is limited to do that 2209 01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:32,960 Speaker 15: which is it is expressly authorized to do in the Constitution. 2210 01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:37,440 Speaker 15: The Wilsonian view is the federal government can do anything 2211 01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:41,120 Speaker 15: for which there is a national problem, and the national 2212 01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:45,680 Speaker 15: political will accept that which is expressly prohibited to it 2213 01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:50,160 Speaker 15: in the Constitution. So these two views of the federal 2214 01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 15: government are the opposite. The other interesting fun fact who 2215 01:58:55,360 --> 01:59:00,920 Speaker 15: arrested these Princeton students, A young feal agent by the 2216 01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:04,440 Speaker 15: name of John Edgar Hoover. 2217 01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:09,320 Speaker 2: Okay, well that answers the question right there. Hey, ja. 2218 01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:14,879 Speaker 15: So as a result of not this arrest, but many others, 2219 01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:22,480 Speaker 15: the DOJ Wilson's Department of Justice persuaded I'm happy not 2220 01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:27,200 Speaker 15: a reluctant Supreme Court to permit these suppressions. First, they 2221 01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:31,560 Speaker 15: came up with a bad tendency test. If speech would 2222 01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:35,480 Speaker 15: have a tendency to the neutral ear to incite violence, 2223 01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:38,440 Speaker 15: the speech was criminal. Then they came up with the 2224 01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,920 Speaker 15: clear and present danger test. If the speech is a 2225 01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,800 Speaker 15: clear and present danger to violence or to national security, 2226 01:59:46,280 --> 01:59:51,200 Speaker 15: then the speech is criminal. These two monstrosities existed for 2227 01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:56,560 Speaker 15: fifty years from nineteen nineteen until nineteen sixty nine, when 2228 01:59:57,200 --> 02:00:04,240 Speaker 15: in Hamilton County, Ohio, a crackpot I forget his first name, 2229 02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:08,120 Speaker 15: last name Brandenburg, I think it was Alvin, gave an 2230 02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:12,200 Speaker 15: incendiary speech in which he condemned blacks and he condemned 2231 02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:14,600 Speaker 15: Jews and said, we're going to march to Washington and 2232 02:00:14,640 --> 02:00:16,880 Speaker 15: they run the government, and we're going to take it 2233 02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:20,760 Speaker 15: back from them. He was prosecuted in a Hamilton County 2234 02:00:20,800 --> 02:00:26,560 Speaker 15: court and convicted of criminal syndicalism basically speech which encourages violence. 2235 02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:31,160 Speaker 15: Upheld by the Ohio Appellate Court, upheld by the Ohio 2236 02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:38,800 Speaker 15: Supreme Court, unanimously reversed by the Federal Supreme Court invalidating 2237 02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:42,800 Speaker 15: state and federal criminal syndicalism laws and giving us the 2238 02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:48,600 Speaker 15: Brandenburg test, no more bad tendency test, no more clear 2239 02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:53,520 Speaker 15: and present danger test. Now all innocuous speech is protected, 2240 02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:57,920 Speaker 15: and all speech is innocuous when there is time, he 2241 02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:02,240 Speaker 15: were time for more speech to rebut it. Even if 2242 02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:05,520 Speaker 15: there isn't any more speech that robuts it, if there 2243 02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:08,560 Speaker 15: is time for it, then the speaker is not liable 2244 02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:12,440 Speaker 15: for the consequences of his speech, and his speech is protected. 2245 02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:13,360 Speaker 2: That's the law today. 2246 02:01:13,600 --> 02:01:17,240 Speaker 15: Brandenburg was cited as recently as last year by the 2247 02:01:17,360 --> 02:01:23,120 Speaker 15: same nine justices who are sitting today. Notwithstanding all of this, 2248 02:01:24,840 --> 02:01:28,480 Speaker 15: President Trump wants to bring back the bad tendency and 2249 02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:32,360 Speaker 15: clear and present danger days because he has directed federal 2250 02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:36,240 Speaker 15: law enforcement to disrupt I put the word in caps. 2251 02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:38,200 Speaker 15: I didn't think my editors would let me get away 2252 02:01:38,240 --> 02:01:42,640 Speaker 15: with it, but they did, to disrupt the speeches of 2253 02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:47,440 Speaker 15: those whom the president believes are anti Christian, anti capitalist, 2254 02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:51,560 Speaker 15: anti American. He singled out Antifa, but the language has 2255 02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:55,640 Speaker 15: brought enough to cover almost any group that the law 2256 02:01:55,720 --> 02:02:00,480 Speaker 15: enforcement deems to be anti Christian, anti capitalist, anti American. Look, 2257 02:02:00,480 --> 02:02:03,360 Speaker 15: I'm an old fashioned pre Vatican to Latin Mass attending 2258 02:02:03,440 --> 02:02:06,440 Speaker 15: Roman Catholic. You know that I am the antithesis of 2259 02:02:06,520 --> 02:02:10,040 Speaker 15: anti Christian. But you have the right to be anti 2260 02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:13,320 Speaker 15: Christian in America, and you have the right to express that. 2261 02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:19,080 Speaker 2: Indeed, I'd embrace that all day long. Before we get 2262 02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:21,040 Speaker 2: to some of the subtleties on this, I'm just wondering 2263 02:02:21,120 --> 02:02:24,880 Speaker 2: if there is a particular case or an illustration of 2264 02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:30,640 Speaker 2: those situations that where someone has been prosecuted or held 2265 02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:35,280 Speaker 2: criminally respond for whatever because there wasn't enough time to 2266 02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:36,800 Speaker 2: inject counter sees. 2267 02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:40,280 Speaker 15: The leading case is called Turman Yellow versus Chicago, which 2268 02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:48,160 Speaker 15: is nineteen fifties, so it's before it's a precursor to 2269 02:02:48,480 --> 02:02:51,280 Speaker 15: and leading up to Brandenburg. But Turman Yellow was a 2270 02:02:51,360 --> 02:02:56,640 Speaker 15: Roman Catholic priest who hated Harry Truman and condemned his 2271 02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:03,200 Speaker 15: use of atomic weapons and condemned his failures. Where father 2272 02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:06,040 Speaker 15: termin Yellow got a little off the rails to crack 2273 02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:08,400 Speaker 15: down on communists in the government. This is a Joe 2274 02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:13,280 Speaker 15: McCarthy era now. And he rented a hall, got a 2275 02:03:13,280 --> 02:03:18,200 Speaker 15: permit from the Chicago Police department, gave an incredibly incendiary 2276 02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:22,080 Speaker 15: speech saying horrible things about Harry Truman, and the mob 2277 02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:29,040 Speaker 15: descended upon him, trashed the hall, and the police barely 2278 02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:31,040 Speaker 15: got him out of there with his life. Well, they 2279 02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:32,480 Speaker 15: got him out of there and brought him into a 2280 02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:37,520 Speaker 15: patty wagon and arrested him for incendiary. 2281 02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:39,480 Speaker 2: Speech, inciting a riot, basically right. 2282 02:03:39,520 --> 02:03:43,400 Speaker 15: And he was convicted in a Chicago local court, upheld 2283 02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:46,640 Speaker 15: in an Illinois appeals court. The Supreme Court of Illinois 2284 02:03:46,680 --> 02:03:49,440 Speaker 15: didn't even want to touch it. And then it went 2285 02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:52,880 Speaker 15: to the US Supreme Court five to four, not unanimous. 2286 02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:54,840 Speaker 15: So it's a different court at the time we get 2287 02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:59,680 Speaker 15: to Brandenburg five to four reversing his conviction. Listen to 2288 02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:05,640 Speaker 15: this First Amendment speech about the government is so important 2289 02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:09,840 Speaker 15: to our democracy it will even tolerate a little bit 2290 02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:14,160 Speaker 15: of violence. Wow. Now they didn't arrest the people that 2291 02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:17,880 Speaker 15: trashed the hall, right, they arrested the Catholic priests that 2292 02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:21,320 Speaker 15: got the permit to have the gathering. 2293 02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:24,360 Speaker 2: All right, now, as this applies to Antipha the st 2294 02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:27,520 Speaker 2: hypothetical I pose to you, and you wrote in the 2295 02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:30,680 Speaker 2: article that it is a political philosophy. Most certainly is 2296 02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:33,200 Speaker 2: it's Marxist, it's communists. Label it whatever you want to 2297 02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:37,920 Speaker 2: label it is it is not something divinely inspired. Isn't 2298 02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:40,800 Speaker 2: arguing about a particular issue or a law that should 2299 02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:43,000 Speaker 2: be passed. It's just the fundamental nature of our government. 2300 02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:44,560 Speaker 2: They don't like it, they want to undermine it. They 2301 02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:46,800 Speaker 2: hate capitalism, so they can scream about that all day long. 2302 02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:51,920 Speaker 2: That's political speech. If, however, they are and organized in 2303 02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:55,080 Speaker 2: some capacity, they're receiving money and funding an organization, they 2304 02:04:55,080 --> 02:04:58,320 Speaker 2: belong to a particular group. That group's goal is to 2305 02:04:58,360 --> 02:05:02,440 Speaker 2: tear down the United State of America like a terrorist 2306 02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:07,000 Speaker 2: organization would. If they are organized and they commit two 2307 02:05:07,040 --> 02:05:10,560 Speaker 2: or more action further and criminal actions furtherance of their goal, 2308 02:05:11,320 --> 02:05:14,080 Speaker 2: are they not subject to prosecution for what there it 2309 02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:16,640 Speaker 2: would be for what they're doing? Though it's I said, 2310 02:05:16,680 --> 02:05:18,920 Speaker 2: you can label the mafia it's organized crime. You can 2311 02:05:18,960 --> 02:05:21,560 Speaker 2: go after their activities, you can label them antifa. If 2312 02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:24,120 Speaker 2: they are organized and they do commit criminal acts, you 2313 02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:27,040 Speaker 2: can go after them as an entity. So does that 2314 02:05:27,080 --> 02:05:29,920 Speaker 2: still stand well? 2315 02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:33,160 Speaker 15: The short answer I think to your question is yes, 2316 02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:37,760 Speaker 15: if this is an organized entity and it commits two 2317 02:05:37,840 --> 02:05:40,680 Speaker 15: or more acts of violence, it then subjects itself to 2318 02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:45,360 Speaker 15: the penalties under RICO, a Racketeer Influence Corrupt Organization Act. 2319 02:05:46,280 --> 02:05:51,040 Speaker 15: Why did they have to use Rico, an Italian nickname, 2320 02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:58,800 Speaker 15: because this was originally written to cripple the mob and 2321 02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:02,880 Speaker 15: thanks to its use, I then US Attorney Rudy Giuliani, 2322 02:06:03,040 --> 02:06:07,160 Speaker 15: it was used to bankrupt the mob. So two or 2323 02:06:07,160 --> 02:06:13,360 Speaker 15: more criminal events contributing to an enterprise, a financial enterprise 2324 02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:19,480 Speaker 15: subject the financial enterprise to treble damages. It could it 2325 02:06:19,520 --> 02:06:24,200 Speaker 15: could so be used. There are criminal Rico statutes and 2326 02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:28,080 Speaker 15: civil Rico statutes I don't know what this Antifa is. 2327 02:06:28,160 --> 02:06:33,000 Speaker 15: I only know that when Chris Ray, the former head 2328 02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,200 Speaker 15: of the death of the FBI, last testified before Congress, 2329 02:06:36,200 --> 02:06:40,280 Speaker 15: which is now a winter of twenty four, after Donald 2330 02:06:40,320 --> 02:06:44,320 Speaker 15: Trump had defeated Kamala Harrison, and mister Ray knew he'd 2331 02:06:44,480 --> 02:06:48,240 Speaker 15: better resign or he'd be fired in a month, he said, 2332 02:06:48,440 --> 02:06:54,920 Speaker 15: FBI intel found that Antifa is not an organized group. 2333 02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:59,240 Speaker 15: It's not even a group. It's just it's just an idea. 2334 02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:02,120 Speaker 15: There's no central authority, there's no central command, there's no 2335 02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:07,400 Speaker 15: central treasury. That's the last intel made public that we 2336 02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:10,240 Speaker 15: have on this. Whether there is subsequent intel or not, 2337 02:07:10,320 --> 02:07:11,960 Speaker 15: I don't know. It hasn't been made public. 2338 02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of research out there, but the 2339 02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:19,960 Speaker 2: Tides Foundation, Sous Foundations, all these very very leftist, pro communist, 2340 02:07:20,040 --> 02:07:23,280 Speaker 2: pro globalist organizations which seem to be behind the funding. 2341 02:07:23,280 --> 02:07:25,840 Speaker 2: At least that's what it's been largely suggested. Now. I 2342 02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:28,400 Speaker 2: suppose this will all play out ultimately if it's investigated. 2343 02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:31,160 Speaker 2: But in so far as raised, can you know conclusions. 2344 02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:33,440 Speaker 2: Perhaps it was the timing they hadn't looked into it yet, 2345 02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:35,800 Speaker 2: but I know in among my listening audience. The man 2346 02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:38,520 Speaker 2: who's behind arctic frost doesn't carry a lot of weight 2347 02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:39,400 Speaker 2: in terms of his. 2348 02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:46,400 Speaker 15: Well, there's no question about that. I mean, the Arctic 2349 02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:51,840 Speaker 15: for US thing is very unusual. Senator Ted Cruz, who's 2350 02:07:51,880 --> 02:07:55,640 Speaker 15: a graduate of Harvard Law School who clerked to the 2351 02:07:55,640 --> 02:07:59,920 Speaker 15: Supreme Court of the United States but doesn't practice law, said, 2352 02:08:00,080 --> 02:08:02,800 Speaker 15: you guys tapped my phones. They didn't tap his phones. 2353 02:08:03,680 --> 02:08:08,320 Speaker 15: They got metadata who called home from what number? Two, 2354 02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:11,080 Speaker 15: what number and for how long? Now I condemn that, 2355 02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:15,680 Speaker 15: but the statutes for which Senator Cruz voted here we 2356 02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:20,040 Speaker 15: go permit the government to do that without a subpoena 2357 02:08:20,120 --> 02:08:21,040 Speaker 15: or a search warrant. 2358 02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:22,920 Speaker 2: Thank you for reminds if. 2359 02:08:22,800 --> 02:08:28,920 Speaker 15: The government wants the telecom not to tell the customer 2360 02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:33,040 Speaker 15: that the government has metadata, they go to a judge, 2361 02:08:33,080 --> 02:08:36,280 Speaker 15: and the statute permits that. I just don't think that 2362 02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:39,800 Speaker 15: these members of Congress who voted for this ever imagined 2363 02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:42,120 Speaker 15: it would be used against them exactly. 2364 02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:44,360 Speaker 2: But the opportunity that it could be was enough to 2365 02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,440 Speaker 2: say no in the first place. And you pointed out 2366 02:08:46,480 --> 02:08:48,480 Speaker 2: time and time again exactly the way it should have been. 2367 02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:52,120 Speaker 15: One of those who screamed the loudest and I'm not 2368 02:08:52,160 --> 02:08:53,920 Speaker 15: a fan of his, but I have to be into ellectually, 2369 02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:55,840 Speaker 15: be honest, he did vote against this all the time, 2370 02:08:55,880 --> 02:09:02,000 Speaker 15: that Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri. But these authorities that 2371 02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:05,720 Speaker 15: Jack Smith used, many of them go back. Some go 2372 02:09:05,800 --> 02:09:07,760 Speaker 15: back to the Reagan ere ra. Most go back to 2373 02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:11,760 Speaker 15: the Patriot Act era, right after nine to eleven. They're reprehensible. 2374 02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:14,800 Speaker 15: They all violate the Fourth Amendment. They've never been passed 2375 02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:18,560 Speaker 15: upon by the Supreme Court, but Congress voted for it, 2376 02:09:18,600 --> 02:09:21,560 Speaker 15: and most of them expire every five years and Congress 2377 02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:25,360 Speaker 15: reenacts them every five years. You'll see that happening during 2378 02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:27,040 Speaker 15: Donald Trump's current term. 2379 02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:29,480 Speaker 2: Always get the truth from you, Judge and Napolitan will 2380 02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:32,640 Speaker 2: be listening for Judging Freedom your podcast. We're out of time. 2381 02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:34,440 Speaker 2: I'd like to elaborate on that, but you know how 2382 02:09:34,480 --> 02:09:35,880 Speaker 2: much I love having you in the show, and I 2383 02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:39,120 Speaker 2: certainly appreciate your willingness to come on every week.

There's a humanitarian named Bob Wedderer who had 2390 02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:58,400 Speaker 2: an idea that he wanted to make lives better for 2391 02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:01,000 Speaker 2: troubled teens in the area. So he decided he was 2392 02:10:01,040 --> 02:10:03,160 Speaker 2: going to put a tree on it with tags with 2393 02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:06,720 Speaker 2: the name and give suggestions for those teens at this facility. 2394 02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:09,040 Speaker 2: And that man, Bob Wetter, is on the program now 2395 02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:13,360 Speaker 2: to talk about the Wish Tree program he started forty 2396 02:10:13,760 --> 02:10:16,880 Speaker 2: one years ago.

Yes, at that time it seems litorally, 2400 02:10:27,760 --> 02:10:33,200 Speaker 16: but it's wonderful. The Purple Beeple Bridge is lighting their 2401 02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:36,040 Speaker 16: tree on Friday night and they have for the past 2402 02:10:36,120 --> 02:10:39,160 Speaker 16: few years invited us to come and put a tree 2403 02:10:39,680 --> 02:10:45,160 Speaker 16: at the south side of the Newport Levy and on 2404 02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:50,240 Speaker 16: Friday night, the Mayor of Newport they've purchased the bridge 2405 02:10:50,280 --> 02:10:53,120 Speaker 16: and they will have it lit and we'll be there 2406 02:10:53,160 --> 02:10:54,560 Speaker 16: to light the wish tree. 2407 02:10:54,760 --> 02:10:57,360 Speaker 2: That's fantastic.

I'd say maybe even bigger. 2411 02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:07,000 Speaker 2: Well, I can't reach up to the top of that, 2412 02:11:07,080 --> 02:11:08,680 Speaker 2: but to pull an ornament off. But the point is 2413 02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:11,160 Speaker 2: you're gonna have ornaments on the tree, and those ornaments 2414 02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:16,360 Speaker 2: are does the child in need fill out that ornament saying, 2415 02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:18,080 Speaker 2: you know, I could really use, you know, a bag 2416 02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:21,000 Speaker 2: of socks or a winter coat or whatever, and that 2417 02:11:21,120 --> 02:11:23,280 Speaker 2: has their name on it. How does that all work?

Basically, everybody gives me two hundred ornaments 2421 02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:43,400 Speaker 16: for that tree. And there's sixteen different organizations that are 2422 02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:47,080 Speaker 16: on that tree. So we fill it throughout the season 2423 02:11:47,560 --> 02:11:49,960 Speaker 16: and they're all laminated on that tree. 2424 02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:50,560 Speaker 2: Great. 2425 02:11:50,640 --> 02:11:55,240 Speaker 16: But what's good is the Bagels play Pittsburgh on Sunday, 2426 02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,960 Speaker 16: so hopefully people coming are going to the game will 2427 02:11:58,960 --> 02:12:02,320 Speaker 16: see it.

I know there are places like I 2434 02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:19,880 Speaker 2: believe Ron's Roost is one of them, always have a 2435 02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:22,800 Speaker 2: tree at their business.
