Thank you as always the 51 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, executive producer of the fifty five Carcy Morning Show, 52 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: for lining up the guests and uh well cracking me up. Yep. 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: It's an important thing, humor, and Joe's the humor is 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: a guy. There is no question about that. Nihow that 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: wasn't really quite sure where to thok where to start? 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: All right? I In the six o'clock hour, I understand 57 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: the Walnut High School had an anti ice walkout. Apparently 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: three to four hundred students decided it was better to 59 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: walk out and protest ice then go to school. Got 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: a few comments on that, and I want to save 61 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: that for the six o'clock hour. Maybe got a comment 62 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: or two on that. Feel free. But while they're out 63 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: protesting ICE, Tom Homan announced that they're drawing down federal 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: agents from Minnesota. How can they do this? Does this 65 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: mean it's a capitulation to the left winger screaming in 66 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: the streets. Not quite. I think the revolution of the 67 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: drawing down of federal agents from Minnesota is a reflection 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: of oh local law enforcement cooperation, at least based upon 69 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: what Tom Holman said the other day. Yes, the borders 70 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: are announce he was drawing down several hundred I think 71 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: it was seven hundred total agents from Minnesota. Why sighting 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: talks between the Trump administration, Governor Tim Walt's Attorney General 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: Keith Ellison, and Anneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry which have resulted 74 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: in securing cooperation with ICE agents and local law enforcement, 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: notably the jails. How about that? You mean all you 76 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: need to do is agree to hand over the criminal 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants from your jails directly to ICE agents, and 78 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: we can avoid this problem of all these people on 79 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: the streets because you let them out. Yes, I've had 80 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: productive discussions with state and local officials, including the governor 81 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: of the Attorney General, Mayor of Fry, law enforcement officials 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: about increasing coordination in a lawful way between the county 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: jails and ICE to avoid public safety threats being released 84 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: back into the community. Now bear in mind, you are 85 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: you know the truth. I know the truth, and everybody 86 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: behind the scenes knows the truth. It's impossible to defend 87 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: letting out. Let's use the worst case scenario examples. Some 88 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: illegal immigrant didn't go through the legal process of being here, 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: didn't get a green car, didn't apply for citizenship. You know, 90 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: someone who came across the border without permission, then committed 91 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: a crime against the citizen of the United States of 92 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: America or literally anybody else while they were here, a 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: crime for which they had due process, a sentence, and 94 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: went to jail guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Since they 95 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: have a bunch of child molesters who have been identified 96 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: after having been convicted beyond a reasonable doubt, they're in 97 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: the jail, let's focus on them, shall we A molester 98 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: of children? Now, unless you're a pedophile and you want 99 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: to try to defend that fault, go ahead, feel free 100 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: to call me up and try to defend your perversion. 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: He twisted, miserable piece of excrement, So no one's on 102 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: the side of those people. You have a way to 103 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: get him out of the country and not subject your 104 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: children to potential of being molested. Because time and time again, 105 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: how many studies are out there to show that these 106 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: twisted perverts cannot get rid of their perversion. You know, 107 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: all the counseling in the world, they're still drawn sexually 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: to little kids. That is a permanent problem for your 109 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: neighborhood if one of them's living there. Huh, you mean 110 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: there's a law on the books that could kick this 111 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: guy out of the country, because well, he shouldn't have 112 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: been here in the first place, and is demonstrated we 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: can't trust him because he's molested children for which he 114 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: has been convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. I think somebody 115 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: needs to contact ICE and let them know we're getting 116 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: ready to let this guy out because he's done the 117 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: time he was ordered to serve. Simple Yes, a solution 118 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: to a broader, long term problem. Absolutely, something that even 119 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: the most crazy, nut case lunatic leftists would have to 120 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: admit is a great thing if you get him in 121 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: a quarter and can read their mind, yes inside going yeah, 122 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: I do want that guy out of the neighborhood. But 123 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: he's because he's causing me a problem with my broader 124 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: philosophy of just well this open borders and don't throw 125 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: out anybody for any reason. Now, I'm sorry, you run 126 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: into a real train wreck of logic and reason when 127 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: you try to defend keeping these people in our country. 128 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: Holman said, we currently have an unprecedented number of counties 129 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: communicating with US now allowing ICE to take custody of 130 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: illegal aliens before they hit the streets. Unprecedented cooperation. Huh. 131 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: We are not requiring jails to hold people past their 132 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: normal release times. We're not asking anyone to be in 133 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: immigration officers. We're not asking any state or local official 134 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: to do immigration enforcement activity. They are not by merely 135 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: notifying us before they release them. Well a then to that. 136 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: It's a simple ask. It's a logical and reasonable ask. 137 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: It's sort of the legitimate exception to the sanctuary state 138 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: slash city policy. Isn't it all right? We're a sanctuary 139 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: state in city, but that's only going to apply to 140 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: people who haven't demonstrated themselves to be outright criminals. We're 141 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: going to make an exception to our outright flat blanket 142 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: don't export or don't deport anyone. It's a little astis 143 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: on our philosophy because more and more people realize that 144 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: our left wing philosophy and not kicking anybody out regardless 145 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: of circumstance is insane, he said. Giving the increase in 146 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: unprecedented collaboration that would be between ICE and law enforcement 147 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: locally in Minneapolis, I've announced, effective immediately, we will draw 148 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: down seven hundred law enforcement enforcement personnel effective today. That 149 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: was yesterday. The President fully attends to achieve mass deportations 150 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: during the administration, and immigrant and for immigration enforcement actions 151 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: will continue every day throughout this country. He said that 152 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: smart law enforcement is the administration's goal, not less law enforcement. 153 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: Smart well, actually the point being you need less law 154 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: enforcement officers if you're getting cooperation between the federal government 155 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: doing its job enforcing federal immigration laws and local enforcement, 156 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: which you know, again it's not local law enforcement's job 157 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: to do the work of ICE agents, but local law 158 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: enforcement the front line of our community safety, our communities. 159 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: If you're a local law enforcement officer you're like, huh, 160 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: maybe that'll be one less police run. I've got to 161 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: go on, if we kick this illegal immigrant out of 162 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: the country, because well the guy's a criminal, that's progress. 163 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: So go ahead and take your whistle and blow it 164 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: in the street, and blow it really hard for the 165 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: pedophile that you're trying to keep in our country, losing 166 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: side of the argument. Five one, three, seven four nine 167 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty on AT 168 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: and T phones, stick around, lot's talk about love. Hearing 169 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: from you.

Either way, I'll find something to talk about. 172 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: Coming back, don't go away. This is fifty five krc 173 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: AN iHeartRadio Station, fifty five KRCD Talk station Friday E 174 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: Happy one to you. Bunk calls are always welcome, and 175 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: weep not anybody feel badly about the UN running out 176 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: of cash. Critic of the not of Nations I am 177 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: and seems to me doing nothing. You know all these 178 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: global conflicts and you would think, hmm, United Nations, what's 179 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: its mission? Do you think they should be involved or 180 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: engaged in? 181 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: Oh? 182 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe de escalating the potential for war, 183 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: stopping genocide. Who knows where are the powder blue uniformed 184 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: soldiers from the United Nations when you need them? Anyway, 185 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: Pick your own favorite story about how you can criticize 186 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: the United Nations. Yesterday, UN Secretary General Antonio guitaraz he's 187 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: warning the member states of the United Nations, all of 188 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: them about the eminent financial collapse. One hundred and ninety 189 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: three member states, according to the I guess the charter 190 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: UN found in nineteen forty five, working to maintain international peace. 191 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: See there's that peace word, security, promotion of human rights. 192 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: Except when it comes to like the weager population in China. 193 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: We're just gonna overlook that because China, you know, with 194 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: the veto power, with the UN, very powerful nation with 195 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: one point four to five billion people, we're just gonna 196 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: let them go. We're gonna pick on somebody smaller. Foster 197 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: social and economic development coordinates, humanitarian aid. I don't know 198 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: if any of that ever gets done, but it is 199 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: a laughable proposition. When you think about the what they 200 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: pick and choose to focus on, you'll be critical of 201 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: the United or the United States being oh, I don't know, 202 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: in their mind a racist nation. But then again, when 203 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: you look at the Chinese Communist Party and the oppression of, 204 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: for example, the weaker people, a bit racist that. Anyway, 205 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: of course, we are the main contributor to the US funding. 206 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: He says. The crisis is deepening, threatening program delivery, risking 207 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: financial collapse, and the situation will deteriorate further in the 208 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: near future. We have slashed our funding the UN agencies. 209 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: We've refused to make mandatory payments to regular peacekeeping budgets. 210 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: Trump describe the UN as having great potential but not 211 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: fulfilling what it's set up to fulfill. We contribute, it's 212 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: actually contributions based on the size of your country. We 213 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: account for twenty two percent of the core budget, China 214 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: right behind US at twenty percent. Apparently, by the end 215 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: of last year, there was a record one point five 216 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: seven billion dollars outstanding dues according to the According to Gataz, 217 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: he said, either all member states onto their obligations to 218 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: pay in full and on time. Our member states must 219 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: fundamentally overhaul our financial rules and to prevent an eminent 220 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: financial collapse. According to UN, we US currently two point 221 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: one to nine billion to the regular UN budget another 222 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: one point eight eight billion for what they call active 223 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: peacekeeping missions, and add on to that five hundred and 224 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: twenty eight million for past peacekeeping missions. I'd love to 225 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: know what those peacekeeping missions are, though the article didn't 226 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: describe them, because I would like to see whether the 227 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: UN actually accomplished anything on the positive side of the ledger. Yeah, 228 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: you went on a peacekeeping mission. How did that turn out? 229 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: Where's your success rate on that one? Where are we 230 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: getting a return on our multi billion dollar investment? Anyhow 231 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: we for it if you choose to. I am not. 232 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: Let's see what Jay's got this morning. Jay, I was 233 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: thinking all about you this morning. Welcome back to the 234 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: Morning Show. I recommend you look at Kim Strassel's article 235 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. Gop Porka Halls earmarks or 236 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: back baby big Ley. Jay, good to hear from me 237 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: this morning. Happy Friday, Eve, Good. 238 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 5: Morning, Brian. I will certainly do that. Not surprised, but 239 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 5: I'm glad that the news is getting out that this 240 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 5: Republican Party is not going to be our savior on 241 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 5: the spending problem. That is the biggest problem that we've 242 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 5: got to highlight that and to get back on one of 243 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 5: my topics, which is the football tax, which is that 244 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 5: hidden tax that NFL towns pay. I think last year 245 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 5: we had a problem with snow removal in Cincinnati, did 246 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 5: we not? 247 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: We did? 248 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 6: I think we equipped? 249 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: Yes, So recently our friends over in Pittsburgh. Now, remember 250 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 5: these NFL teams, the reason they get all the subsidies 251 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 5: is all the economic development, all of the growth that 252 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 5: we get. This year was Pittsburgh's turn. They had snow 253 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 5: coming down over there, and by the time they started 254 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: to clean it up, I think it was thirty five 255 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 5: of their ninety snowplows were broken. I did a little 256 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 5: bit of research. City of PITTSB in Allegheny County gives 257 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 5: thirteen and a half million to the Pittsburgh Steelers every 258 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 5: year for twenty five years. A snowplowl costs two hundred 259 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 5: thousand bucks, so they could have replaced sixty eight trucks 260 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 5: every year just for twenty five years priorities. And yeah, 261 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 5: so you know, whenever we now, if you add up 262 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 5: thirteen and a half million for twenty five years, that 263 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 5: kind of three hundred million, which is still half of 264 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 5: what we just gave the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, so everybody 265 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 5: that's you know, in these NFL towns and everybody that 266 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 5: likes all of the money going to these towns, this 267 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 5: is the trade off when you run out of money 268 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 5: and you don't have snowplows that you have. You know, 269 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 5: in our Cincinnati's got a big, beautiful stadium which allowed 270 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 5: them to go purchase the most expensive player in NFL history, 271 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 5: Joe Burrows, who now wants to be traded. That's really 272 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 5: working out well for the town. But saying that this 273 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 5: is this is the trade off when the snow can't 274 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 5: get removed and the streets can't get paved. Just enjoy 275 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 5: watching your football and understand that that's a trade off. 276 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 5: There's only so much. 277 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 7: To go around. 278 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody's crunched the numbers on the loss 279 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: of revenue as a consequence of snow. You know, likesus 280 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: versus how much the NFL claims any given stadium generates 281 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: by way of revenue for any given town in which 282 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: they sit. 283 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 5: You know, you no, No, it's just all upside, Brian, 284 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 5: It's just all upside. They can't really ever come up 285 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 5: with a number, but it's big. Trust me, we just 286 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 5: have and I've got property tax I got to pay. 287 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 5: There's the local school tax. With that big beautiful stadium, 288 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: we have this Ohio state handing out money to all 289 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 5: you know, Ohio State University. So your state tax is 290 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 5: paying for all the football programs. Formerly universities now football programs. 291 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 5: So this football tax adds up people. So when you 292 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 5: stroke your property tax and seventy percent of that goes 293 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 5: to schools and most of that goes to football, and 294 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: on and on and on. Just you know, think about 295 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 5: your football tax whatever you do. And Tom, I've been Tolinklin. 296 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 5: Don't vote Rhino. This Republican party, well, keep a closer 297 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 5: eye on them than the Democrats, and don't vote Democrats. 298 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 6: I have a good day, Brian to Jay. 299 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate hearing from you.

That dude is perfect 349 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 6: for that job. So I appreciate the work these guys do. 350 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 6: They are trying to get people out of your neighborhood 351 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 6: that don't belong there. That's pretty much while it boils 352 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 6: down to, they have no right to be in this 353 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 6: country because they snuck in here in the middle of 354 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 6: the night or whatever, in the back of the truck, 355 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 6: or they snuck in here. They didn't walk through and 356 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 6: go hey, I'm here. I'd like to stay here. You guys, mind, 357 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 6: if I stay here, I'm going to be productive. You know, 358 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 6: they stuck in here, and they're cheating us, and they're 359 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 6: absorbing our resources that we pay taxes for that are 360 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: for our people. There's already enough people in this country 361 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 6: that are abusing our other resources and are taking advantage 362 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: of us, that are actual citizens of this country. Why 363 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 6: in the world would we let more people in. Oh 364 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 6: wait a minute, we may need to inflate those voter numbers, 365 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 6: so let's let them all in. That's got to be 366 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 6: the only reason. 367 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: So it seems to be. 368 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 6: I agree. I wholeheartedly agree with Jay. Thanks for continuing 369 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 6: to sound the alarm. Keep an eye on those rhinos. 370 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 6: Don't vote for him if you know they're rhino, And 371 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 6: for whatever you do, do not vote Democrats. Thank you, 372 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 6: have a great day. 373 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: You have a great day too. Tom. Yeah, and the 374 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: other thing that Tom Holman enjoys is at least some 375 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: measure of credibility on the Democrats side, because he was 376 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: the borders are under Biden as well, So and you know, 377 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 1: you can, I mean you kind of question away how 378 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: we're Trump stands very firm on certain issues. And this 379 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: goes back to my comment yesterday about you know, the 380 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: the silent majority. You know damn well more than anybody 381 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: else that Donald Trump and his staff his administration is 382 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: pretty to some probably pretty darn solid pulling information. So 383 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: what you get in the mainstream media and the constant 384 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, video and reporting about mass hysterian in Minneapolis 385 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: and the throngs of the masses who were running out 386 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: in the streets against Ice. Meanwhile, Trump tries to stick 387 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: to his guns. And yeah, bad things will happen when 388 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: angry protesters are engaging and interfering with law enforcement. But 389 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: it is working. And Tom Holman's announcement yesterday about cooperation 390 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: with local law enforcement and local sheriff departments with getting 391 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: these illegal immigrants. Don't release them into the community, hand 392 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: them over to Ice subject to the detainer. That's a 393 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: step in the right direction. And obviously, as I was 394 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: ranting about earlier in the program, it's what most people want, 395 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: and I think that's the very thing I've seen some 396 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: polling which suggests exactly that. Say what you want about 397 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: not deporting the ill, the guy down the street who's 398 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: been going to work every day for the past ten 399 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: years and never ever got involved with law enforcement, Okay, 400 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: you make an argument for that, but you can't make 401 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: an argument for criminals. So that takes the weight off 402 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: the left and their problem trying to support keeping criminals 403 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: in our country when they're not when they're subject to 404 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: being kicked out. So it ultimately works to their advantage, 405 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: much in the same way Minneapolis ICE agents will be 406 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: wearing body cameras. That works out to the benefit of 407 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: the ICE agents. It also fulfills the request. Okay, Democrats 408 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: are asking for body cameras, will be happy to give 409 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: it to them. There you go that behind the scenes, 410 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: everybody gets what they want on that when the law 411 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: enforcement officers obviously protected against being falsely accused of violating 412 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: whatever laws the protesters claim they violated, and the Democrats 413 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: can chalk up a win in the column see we 414 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: got cameras on law enforcement agents welcome great on out, 415 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: oh and to Tom's boy real quickly. A couple of 416 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: hundred Cincinnay property owner are not the times. At Jay's 417 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: point about snow removal, well, subset of snow removal is 418 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: the walk the sidewalk in front of your home in 419 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: a downtown Cincinnati you are obligated to remove it. And 420 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: so two hundred since a property owners are roughly around 421 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: that have been notified that they can be fined for 422 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: not clearing off their sidewalks. This after the January twenty fourth, 423 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: twenty fifth winter storm. You remember that wasn't that long ago. 424 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: Since a municipal code says it's the responsibility of property 425 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: owners to clear snow or ice from any sidewalk adjacent 426 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: to their lot, at least two hundred did not, so 427 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: the the letters went out, the property owners who failed 428 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: to clear their sidewalks facing a potential civil fine of 429 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. According to Sheryl Long City Manager's memo, 430 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: She said the city continues to discuss how to operationalize enforcement, 431 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: including what departments must be involved in issuing citations and 432 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: collecting fines, as well as identifying potential departmental funding and 433 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: staffing needs. You need more funding and more staffing to 434 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: issue letters and collect fines. I guess five point thirty 435 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: six right now, fifty five kr CD talk station, be 436 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: right back after these brief words. 437 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC dot com. 438 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: Five forty here if you five KRC detalk station eight 439 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: hundred eight two three talk found five fifty on AT 440 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: and T phones.

They weren't going 454 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: to release any information, adding that the provision in details 455 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: about the January thirtieth event could lead to the late 456 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: workers identity being discovered.

Officials at the twenty twenty six Winter 505 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: Olympics are now focusing on the crotches of ski jumpers, 506 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: phrasing a major rule change in effect just in time 507 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: for the games. According to the report, here's the They 508 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: are placing tamper proof microchips in the suits of each 509 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: athlete and use three D scanning technology to measure the 510 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: space between the crotches of ski jumpers what as reported 511 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: by The Daily Mail, the drastic and awkward measures were 512 00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: installed after a crotch enlarging scandal phrasing the ski jumping 513 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: world last year, leading to multiple suspensions among the Norwegian team. 514 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: This is the twenty twenty five ski Jumping World Championship 515 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: in Norway. The home team caught secretly adding extra fabric 516 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: to the crotch area of suits worn by two top 517 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: male athletes. You think they were tube socks rolled up 518 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: joe or maybe spinal tap with the cucumber wrapped in 519 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: aluminum foil. Some people are laughing right now. Others are 520 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: leg what the hell is he talking about? Anyway? You know, 521 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: ski jumping you down a ramp and you soar through 522 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: the air. Apparently the distance they travel has a large 523 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: lot to do with the aerodynamics of how air moves 524 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: around them, meaning their suit. They say, crotch enlarging creates 525 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: more surface area in the skin tight suits that catch 526 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: air just rights some more fabric around the skiers groins 527 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: mean they can glide longer and further without falling too quickly, 528 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: potentially adding several more feet to each jump. 529 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: I had no idea so. 530 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: In this whole gender dispute. So if if, if women 531 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: and men are competing in ski jumping against each other, 532 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: who has the competitive advantage based upon biological realities of 533 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: the difference between the crotch area of men and women. 534 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: Sounds to me like men would have an already built 535 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: in advantage when it comes to at least ski jumping, 536 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: based upon what little I know having read part of 537 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: this articles five six fifty five KRC nobody care, right, 538 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, They'll olay a little more stupid coming up 539 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: fifty five KRC The talk Station Good five fifty to 540 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: fifty five KRC de Talk Station, Happy Friday.

Councilmember Pearl Walker and remember Jolanda 557 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: Cooper Sutton both went to the social media and publicly 558 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: said the snow was fake in separate Facebook posts Court 559 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: of Memphis Flier. These are Memphis City council members apparently 560 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: swirling around on social media, which I don't participate in. 561 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: There are lots of claims of fake snow. Is this 562 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: like chemtrails anyway? Cooper Sutton, the councilperson, posted a video 563 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: showing her husband attempting to melt a chunk of snow 564 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: with a lighter. Her post reads, wtw so we decided 565 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: to see what was really falling hitting the ground. It's 566 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: not melting perenn or a bracket. It stinks close bracket 567 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: when you set fire to it. Oh my God, Jesus Christ, 568 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: what is happening? Not expressed in the form of a question. 569 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: It's expressed in the form of three exclamation points. Sounded 570 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: like a question to me, at least based upon the 571 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: wording of our social media post. In video, Cooper Sutton says, quote, 572 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: this is not melting, this is fire. Oh my god, 573 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: what is falling from the sky hitting the ground. Oh 574 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: my god. We can't make this up close?

Quote. 576 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: She also posted a link to another Facebook video from 577 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: somebody else named Sunshine with a y. Thacker said that 578 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: when the first snow picked, when she first picked up 579 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: the snow, she said it was different, and therefore she 580 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: would not use it to make whatever she believes to 581 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: be snow cream. What y'all learned in science class in 582 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: grade school that stuff outside still ain't snow. 583 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 8: See your stupid mouth shut day. 584 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: Radliff will be hearing from you at eight thirty.

Yes, you're right, she doesn't even 589 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: know where guam is. That's a good point. Joe, what's kwam? 590 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: What's gwam? Go to Freemonut, Nebraska, mom of a Fremont 591 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: High school student who was struck by an suv during 592 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: a student protest more on student protests after the Top 593 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: of the Art News said she's anger with school officies, 594 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: officials believing they should have prevented the demonstration student hit 595 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: by a red SUV while participating in an anti ice 596 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: protest outside the school. Why was the school? Why was 597 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: the kid outside not in the school anyway? Court of 598 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: the student, I think mostly got me in my legs 599 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: because my knee is what's really bugging me right now. 600 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: All I remember is that it was read. Obviously, referring 601 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: to the suv girls, mom said the incident should never 602 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: have happened. The students were not informed enough to organize 603 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: such a protest. First of all, she said, I don't 604 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: feel she's informed enough who have made a decision like 605 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: that one that she made by doing a protest? Amen? 606 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 6: Mom. 607 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't feel that any of the young people that 608 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: were involved know enough about what's going on or to 609 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: do or to set up a protest, because I feel 610 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: they don't know what they are protesting. Amen. Mom. She 611 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: thinks Freemont High School bears responsibility for the incident point 612 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: of the fact that her daughter was allowed to make 613 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: protest materials during class time. Oh look, local headline Walnut 614 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: Walnut Hills High School anti ice walk out draws three 615 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: hundred to four hundred students.

Where are the teachers and why weren't they 619 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: paying more attention to what these kids were doing? I 620 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: feel the school is quite a bit at fault for this. 621 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: Now you can make an argument that the suv driver 622 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: made been the person solely responsible for running into the child. 623 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: Don't know the specifics of the actual involvement of that collision, 624 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: but there is something to be said about schools who 625 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: egg on and encourage children to protest on a specific 626 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: side of the protest political standpoint, if you know what 627 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean. And he used valuable school time to make 628 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: protest posters, Who can argue with that?

Perfect timing on this Walnut 640 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,479 Speaker 1: Hills High School anti ice walk out. They had three 641 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: eight four hundred students walk out to protest ice, Abolish ice, 642 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: Ice out for good. Let read the posters waving them around. 643 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: Organizer Walnut Hills Junior Magdalia Lopez. It was her estimate 644 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: that there were three hundred to four hundred students there, 645 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: which would be sixteen percent of the school's total enrollment. 646 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: Grace Tucker, since I inquire reporting, so I was just 647 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: scratching the service kids walked out of school apparently. I 648 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: don't know if they got time to make the signs 649 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: while in class when they should have been doing classroom work. 650 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: But I guess the snow days and the road closure days, 651 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: and the days staying home and on the heels of 652 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, stay at home for basically two years during 653 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, I guess you don't need to be in 654 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: school anymore. It's more important to go out in the 655 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: street and protest. Everybody in my listening audience remember when 656 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: they were in school and we were giving time off 657 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: to quit, walk out of school and protest without consequence. Joe, 658 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: you remember that you did that all the time when 659 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: you were at Lasau, didn't you. Oh yeah, the priest 660 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: to go out out there protest. I can put this 661 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: in context thanks to Cheryl Chumley over at the Washington 662 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: Times who wrote earlier this week. And remember New York 663 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: Mari Zoon Mondami, the comy. He wants to get rid 664 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: of the Gifted and Talented program. Let me just point 665 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: that out up front, because I read an op ed 666 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: piece the other day from Jason Riley talking about how 667 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: they're getting They want to limit or otherwise prevent the 668 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: magnet schools. They do not want anyone to exceed or 669 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: excel in the name of equity. I guess if you 670 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: are not. If you're smart, you are too smart. Little 671 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: Johnny over there is not as smart as you. So 672 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: because you're smarter than little Johnny, we cannot allow you 673 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: to advance. We are not allowing society to benefit from 674 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: your gifted and talented intellect by putting you in a 675 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: gifted and talented program where that intellect can increase, ultimately 676 00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: benefiting all of us because you're going to build. Then 677 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 1: I don't know widget that we all fall in love with. 678 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: Sorry anyway. So with that background, she points out at 679 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,760 Speaker 1: the outset New York City, Mayrizon, when Dobby is scamming 680 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: back to school's Gifted and Talented program for elementary AID 681 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: students over concerns its discriminatory. Over there, all those lunatic 682 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: teachers in Minneapolis and Harlem and elsewhere, like I guess 683 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: Walnut Hills, who've been leading the little kids left by 684 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: parents in their little kids left by parents in their 685 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: charge in a radical sign wielding slogan shouting anti ice 686 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: protest lines. The Left is coming for the children, and 687 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 1: their coming hard. The goal to get the next generation 688 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: of American voters trained in the good marks this way 689 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: to go, and to get the next generation of American leaders, 690 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: whether government or business or education, military or societal, all 691 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: leaders similarly trained. Then the Democrats' vision for America will 692 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: be complete. Then the democrats hope for america future will 693 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: be realized. After all, in the minds of the leftists, 694 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: there wouldn't be any problems in America Republicans and more specifically, 695 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: maggot type Republicans didn't exist. This is the lefts thinking 696 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: about the chaos in Minneapolis right now. They blamed the 697 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for causing chaos because, as 698 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: they see it, there were no protests in the streets 699 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: until Ice came, so it must be ICE's fault. Leftists 700 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: never looked beyond their emotions, so there are only one 701 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: shift in the wind away from changing their views. See 702 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: all of the multitude of times over the past two 703 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: decades that Democrats Juckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and every single 704 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: other one of them started screaming about the border and 705 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: border security along the lines of what Trump's been doing. 706 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: They used to say stuff like that, we need a 707 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: secure border, illegal immigrants should be thrown out. Yeah, okay, 708 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: the wind change direction. Evil orange Man got elected, so 709 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: immediately they don't want to do anything about the border. 710 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: This is the way that this is this emotion ar 711 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: that Ryl Chumley's pointing out just had to add a 712 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: little extra meat on the flesh of the statement. Again, 713 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: only one shift in the wind away from changing the 714 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: views and with Minneapolis. No matter how many times it's explained, 715 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: and no matter how many times it's explained in a 716 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: most layman like matter, leftists cannot get the fact that 717 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: the progression of events is this. Joe Biden, while president, 718 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: left borders completely open and in so doing allowed millions 719 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 1: of migrants to enter the country illegally, many of hume, 720 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: here's the sailing point where drug and human traffickers, gang 721 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: and cartel members, murderers, rapists, and thieves. Biden even used 722 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: tax dollars to ship these illegals to parts of the 723 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: north east and west in order of the border in 724 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: Mexico set them up with housing, food, et cetera, et cetera. 725 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: See that's an evil, nefarious part of the time. Texas 726 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: governor was praised for kicking them out of his neighborhood 727 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: and sending them off on a bus too Minneapolis perhaps 728 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: New York City, where they were met with delight by 729 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: the elected officials there, who started thinking about the the 730 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: voter rolls being expanded Democrat voting, and of course the 731 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: census and the number of representative seats they'd be able 732 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: to get with all the new illegal immigrants in their 733 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: very blue neighborhoods. See how that works out. Donald Trump 734 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: elected president largely because he promised to clamp down on 735 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 1: the border and clear communities across the nation of the illegals. Deport, deport, deport. 736 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: He set it over and over again on the campaign 737 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: trail and biological extension lower crimes, which when you kick 738 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,959 Speaker 1: the criminals out of the country, crime does go down. 739 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: That's what Trump is doing. But Democrats hate that Trump 740 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: is done and is doing that, so they're doing whatever 741 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: they can to undo that. Governor Tim Walt Minneapoli Or Minnesota, 742 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,879 Speaker 1: compared Trump to Hitler and Ice to Nazi forces. Jacob Fry, 743 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: of Minneapolis mayor sat ICE's goal is to cause chaos 744 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: and disruption. Actually, I think that's the protesters goal. Minnesotatorney 745 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: General Keith Elson called Ice in the city a federal invasion. 746 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure people notice the rhetoric. People pay attention to 747 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 1: the narrative, and sick, unhinge people actually use such narratives 748 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: to justify the unleashing of even more vicious narratives, leading 749 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: to physical assaults and cruel attacks against law enforcement and yes, 750 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 1: of course, against Ice. But again leftists never looked beyond 751 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: their emotions. They refuse to see how what's taking place 752 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis and elsewhere in the nation with ICE is 753 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: due entirely to Biden's open border leading to hikes in crime, 754 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: leading to abuse of tax payer dollars endless apparently abusive 755 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. The Minneapolis Somali community and the leering centers 756 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 1: a great example. And we are just scratching the surface 757 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: and of course ultimately leading the White House crackdowns on 758 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: lawlessness and attempt to restore law and order controls at 759 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: the border. Here we go. Some leftists are pure stupid 760 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: and incapable of understanding the facts behind ICE's current operation. 761 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: Forgive them, for they know not what they do. They 762 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: are the useful idiots in communism one oh one. But 763 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: some are pure evil and use crime and lawlessness to 764 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: gain political power and to destroy America. This is the 765 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: category which many Mandami operates. This is the umbrella under 766 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,720 Speaker 1: which teachers sending kids into the streets to waive anti 767 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: ICE signs. Stand Sarah Parti Perry, vice president of the 768 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: Legal fellow at Defending Education quote, as we suspected he might, 769 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: newly minted Democratic socialist mayor Zoran Mandabi, himself a product 770 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: of expensive private schools, has pledged to shut down the 771 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: Gifted and Talented program, despite the fact that it helped 772 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: countless students from humble backgrounds achieve their full academic potential. Specifically, 773 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: Mamdami wants to put an end to the Gifted and 774 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: Talented program until children reach third grade status. In other words, 775 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: the brightest of the bright have to stay dumbed down 776 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 1: in kindergarten, first and second grades so as to keep 777 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 1: other kids from feeling bad. This is a socialist way 778 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: and still a fake sense of equality by limiting the 779 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: potential of high achievers by making those who have a 780 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: high potential feel guilt and shame for desiring to achieve. 781 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: Insert the middle aged women who feel guilt and shame 782 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:24,479 Speaker 1: because of white privilege. You walk around feeling guilty about 783 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: who you are and what you've accomplished. Just go ahead 784 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: and don't pay attention to how you were able to 785 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: get there, what you did personally to achieve, whatever lofty 786 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: space you got that makes you want to run out 787 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: in the street and cry and show you your virtue 788 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: signaling because oh I'm white, I didn't deserve what I got. 789 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: This is the children's version of that same nonsense. New 790 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: York preschooler leads children in ice activity, according to one 791 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: website video showing a group of three to twelve year 792 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 1: old and their teachers holding handmade sides reading things like 793 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: ice is shut Down and participating in an organized demonstration 794 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: outside the Portland Monassori School. These protests are going all 795 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: over the place, and they're organized parothetically, not just our 796 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 1: local Walnut Hills High School students. Another Facebook from some 797 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: different site Chloe Day School at kindergartener stage in anti ice, 798 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,919 Speaker 1: anti Trump protest. Huh, She writes. This is the Marxist way. 799 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: Instill the propaganda at its earliest age possible, and as 800 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: I pointed out, suffer the little children come unto me 801 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 1: the earlier you get them and indoctrinate them. And some say, 802 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: of course, indoctrinating into Christianity is a great thing for 803 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: the young people, but it's the same thing. Introduce the 804 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: idea early to them and it becomes a religion to them, 805 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: much in the same way global warming is a religion 806 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: to people. Oh my god, I'm gonna commit blasphemy if 807 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: I make an argument that carbon dioxide's plant food, and 808 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 1: the earth needs it. Education, to the leftists is not 809 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: so much an opportunity for the individual as it is 810 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: a weapon for war against individualism. Mom, Donnie's doing this. 811 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: Teachers and daycare providers are doing that here, little here, 812 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 1: little there, a little bit more. Suddenly, or seemingly suddenly, 813 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: America is no more. It's imparting to see the acts 814 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 1: of the left as a whole, as a movement, as 815 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: a concerted and collective effort to destroy the nation and 816 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: erase God given freedoms. They're not by chance, they're not anomalies. 817 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: They're not coincidences. Marxists and leftists and socialists and communists 818 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: are today's democrats, and they love nothing more than to 819 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: make their destructive goals easier by getting the children on board, 820 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 1: by having them serve as willing participants, and the take 821 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: down to their own country. Exclamation point Cheryl Chumley, going 822 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:03,320 Speaker 1: back to the well the education numbers, the sad, empathetic scores. 823 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: Children cannot read and they cannot perform math. And I 824 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 1: know it's a broad brush statement. I guess it depends 825 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: on what school, what what what school you're in. Like 826 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: for example, if you're in the Gifted and Talented program 827 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 1: formerly in New York City. Your kids may score great. 828 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: We can't have any of that, now, can we. That 829 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: kid's too smart. It's gonna see through the propaganda. Six 830 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,880 Speaker 1: seventeen fifty five krs DE talk station, Save money and 831 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: improve your homes comfort and yeah the winter timeing over 832 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,359 Speaker 1: the talk station five KRCITY talk station.

Thanks for 837 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: calling this morning, and happy Friday. 838 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 6: Ear to you. 839 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:47,800 Speaker 4: Happy Friday, Brian. 840 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 6: How are you today? 841 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty darn good. Thank you very much. Hope you 842 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:51,720 Speaker 1: can say the same. 843 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 4: I can't. Yeah, I want to touch on the Mandani 844 00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 4: and the gifted programs. It's since equality never talks about 845 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 4: effort and sacrifice being equal only outcome. 846 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 6: That's that's the. 847 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 4: Only true way to true equality is for everybody be 848 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 4: equally poor and equally stupid. 849 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: Yep. That's Marxism rolled up at them all. 850 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 6: Yep. 851 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're never going to get that ten percent 852 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 4: of people to even go to work, much less work 853 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 4: over time. But so you got to you got to 854 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,439 Speaker 4: keep the other man down. 855 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: Well, you hit the nail the head on why Marxism 856 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: and socialism generally speaking, always fail. Once you take away 857 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,839 Speaker 1: the incentive of hard work, which is usually higher pay, 858 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 1: better benefits, that kind of stuff. If you take that 859 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: away and everybody's treated equally, uh, then there's no incentive 860 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 1: work hard, right. 861 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 4: I sure wouldn't be headed into Kentucky to work all 862 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 4: day today. 863 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 1: No, I know, I could promise you that absolutely. Hey, 864 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: everybody makes pick a figure, thirty thousand dollars. That's it. 865 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: You're never going to make more than that. What possible 866 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: reason would you have to want to work harder than 867 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: the guy next you who's just got his feed up 868 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,879 Speaker 1: and maybe his surfing porn in a room all day long, 869 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 1: purporting to work. That's in the federal government. I remember 870 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 1: reading stories about that. Why. That's the reason socialism fails. 871 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: There's no incentive to work, no incentive produce. Why would 872 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 1: you create a good or service or product unless you're 873 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: going to reap the benefit from producing something that you 874 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: realize at one point that mankind actually once the capitalist motivation. 875 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: We got so many cool things in this world, so 876 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: many things that have made life more pleasurable to live. 877 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 1: So many things that have extended human life, removed disease 878 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 1: drugs in smartphones and cell phones, and say what about AI. 879 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,320 Speaker 1: AI was not created from an idiot who was dumbed 880 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: down in a public high school. I imagine whoever created that. 881 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: I think Bill Gates was probably in the Gifted and 882 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: Talented Program Mississippi. James, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Friday, 883 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: ev you, sir, Always a pleasure hearing from you. 884 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 9: I come in peace, love every about it, and there's 885 00:50:59,000 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 9: nothing you can do. 886 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 1: Love message James. 887 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 9: All right, a couple of points, Brian. Now this is 888 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 9: our Black History Month, sir, and you know, I look 889 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 9: at it my belief that the Bible is Black history. 890 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:14,879 Speaker 1: Yes, you have to think. 891 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 9: And I think if we take the Bible back into 892 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,879 Speaker 9: schools or other teaching institution, my black kids would learn 893 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,800 Speaker 9: to do better if they realized this is actually their history. 894 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 9: I mean through colonizing, white washing, white supremacy, white racism. 895 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 9: You know, we was giving this picture, this white Jesus, 896 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 9: and we was told that the melody in our skin 897 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 9: was a curse. So when you have all this horrendous 898 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 9: stuff and put on a people, it wears them down. 899 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 9: Then on the other side we talk about doing better, Well, 900 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 9: how about letting some of the truth come out. Now 901 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 9: we may not know Jesus look like, but I think 902 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 9: we can pretty much say he didn't look like what 903 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 9: we've been perpetuated to. 904 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: Let me interject, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Given 905 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 1: the region of the world and the fact we didn't 906 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: have mass migration back then, the likelihood that Jesus was 907 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: a person of color is very very strong. You make 908 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: a good argument for that. I've never argued against that. 909 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: But let me go back to doctor King. Since it 910 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: is Black History Month. Content of character, not color of skin. 911 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 1: What does it matter the color of Jesus's skin. If 912 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: it's the content of his character and the message that 913 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,680 Speaker 1: he conveyed, that is so is what is so important? 914 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: You know, Faith isn't driven by the color of Jesus's skin. 915 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 1: Apparently is driven by things like the sermon on the Mount, 916 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: his message, and his miracles. 917 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 9: Well I'm talking about the negative benefit was driven by 918 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 9: the color of his skin? 919 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 1: Well no, so I believe thoroughly, and I have no 920 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 1: history to document this. But if you're trying to sell 921 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,360 Speaker 1: Jesus in an all white Europe. How do you convey 922 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: the message in a largely, if not exclusively, illiterate population. 923 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: We're talking at a time before the printing press, even 924 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: where most people were not educated and could not even read. 925 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: You're trying to bring them over the side of it. 926 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: Maybe salvation, Maybe it's manipulation or control. But you're not 927 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: going to wave around a stained glass image of a 928 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: black man in a basically all white society and sell 929 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: the message. So what's more important that you faked it? 930 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,479 Speaker 1: That you made a picture of someone who you didn't 931 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,719 Speaker 1: even have a photograph of in order to try to 932 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 1: convey the message. Was it wrong in doing that? Maybe 933 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: they were just dealing with this. Maybe they were just 934 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: doing dealing with a society who couldn't see through race, 935 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,879 Speaker 1: and that was a bad thing. So all right, we'll 936 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,399 Speaker 1: go ahead and make Jesus white and then we'll try 937 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 1: to get them to buy into this important message. 938 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,919 Speaker 9: And that was good for that time, for that time. Yeah, 939 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 9: that's a saying, this is the age of aquarian Some 940 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 9: truth need to be changed or come out. You know'll 941 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:01,919 Speaker 9: not be changed, but come out. 942 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a lot of I think it's 943 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,719 Speaker 1: a worthy conversation to have. But again I'm still going 944 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,840 Speaker 1: to go back to the message it shouldn't really matter 945 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 1: a wit. And here we are in twenty twenty six 946 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: and we can have a conversation about the reality of 947 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,439 Speaker 1: what color Jesus's skin may or may not have been. 948 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: But I'll still go back to the fact it shouldn't matter, 949 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: and honestly it doesn't. James Love hearing from me, man, 950 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: love your message six to twenty at least the initial 951 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: message at the outset six twenty eight.

Roofies, for example, was one of the specific 999 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: sighted by Ali hannert Over at Fox nineteen, He said 1000 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,400 Speaker 1: that one in thirteen college age individuals suspect they've been drugged. 1001 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: So policy, a qualified permit holder would not be liable 1002 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: for a defective, inaccurate test of a beverage on their 1003 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 1: premises according to the legislation, So it provides some immunity 1004 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: for the test kit itself, and he claims the more 1005 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: does anyway, the bars could benefit from providing the strips 1006 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: because it would lower their insurance rates. So right now, 1007 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 1: if your drinking spikee and something happens to you, you 1008 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: could sue the bar civilly obviously. Now, if you're providing 1009 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,840 Speaker 1: these test strips, it's going to help the bars with 1010 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 1: their liability insurance. So we think this is something they'll 1011 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 1: want to do to help their customers so they feel safe, 1012 00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 1: all right, ignoring the altruistic motive behind this, and I 1013 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: get it, question how much lower will their insurance rates 1014 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 1: be if that's the benefit, And how much will providing 1015 00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 1: test strips to every single patron who comes into the 1016 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: bar during a period of year year counted year for 1017 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 1: the insurance counter year for the cost of the strips 1018 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 1: As a parent, And I did not know these strips 1019 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 1: even existed. As a parent rewind about fifteen years or so, 1020 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 1: I think for my daughter's sake, I probably would have 1021 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: bought the test strips and had her keep them in 1022 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: her purse along with the mace. Right and knowing that 1023 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: these test kits are out there and available, if you're 1024 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 1: a parent, you might want to consider getting one. We'll decide. 1025 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: I guess they'll figure it out for us.

But that still doesn't mean, yeah, 1048 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 10: I want to do a polar swim. That right, an 1049 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 10: intellectual endeavor, no one. The first thing that got my 1050 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 10: goat yesterday was politicians trying to pass laws that would 1051 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 10: basically make it so that illegal marijuana could come back 1052 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 10: into the into the forefront instead of having legalized, controlled, taxed. 1053 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 10: Mari wanted that you can't lace the fentanyl, and I 1054 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 10: do not understand why the voice of the people is 1055 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 10: being ignored. 1056 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 4: Again. 1057 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 10: I do not agree with constant use of it, nor 1058 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 10: do I agree with constant drinking, but to make it 1059 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 10: so that the illegal stuff can be available easily again 1060 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 10: while it's always been available. 1061 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 1: Pat, But I guess what specifically referring to the legalization 1062 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: that the fifty seven percent of a Highlands voted for 1063 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:32,479 Speaker 1: by way of recreational legalization or I think it's SB 1064 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: fifty six, which is a ballot petition out which is 1065 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,800 Speaker 1: trying to unring the bell of the subsequent laws that 1066 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,040 Speaker 1: were passed by our elected officials in Columbus which take 1067 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: away some of the lawful status of certain products like 1068 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: the beverages and also put limitations on open container marijuana 1069 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: products versus closed ones that kind of thing. 1070 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 3: What are you focusing on, Well, see, I just I 1071 01:00:55,120 --> 01:01:00,120 Speaker 3: think that the the legalization of recreational because not not 1072 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 3: only is it an effective pain killer, but it takes 1073 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 3: away the opportunity for illegal merchandising to be available to 1074 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 3: people that could increase the opportunity for fentanyl to be 1075 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 3: used on it. 1076 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you to a certain extent because 1077 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: anything sold in one of the licensed stores must be tested, 1078 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 1: so you're going to get an accurate reflection of how 1079 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,440 Speaker 1: much THC is in it. The other components will make 1080 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: it up, and it's also been tested to make sure 1081 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't have drugs in it, So that's a safety issue. 1082 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: So I would think paying extra for marijuana in order 1083 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 1: to ensure that it's safe would be a prudent decision. 1084 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,960 Speaker 1: But just because it's legal in the sense you can 1085 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 1: go out and buy it and it is safe doesn't 1086 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 1: mean there aren't people out in the world still selling 1087 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: it illegally on the black market because they can sell 1088 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:52,919 Speaker 1: it cheaper those pesky laws of prices. You can buy 1089 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 1: something from a pedler on the street for a lot 1090 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 1: less money than you can in a brick and mortar 1091 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: legalized weed store, because of course it's brick and overhead, 1092 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: electricity bills, overhead, paying to have testing, overhead, and the 1093 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: extra taxes, so you're competing for price point there. 1094 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 10: And see, I would err on the side of not 1095 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 10: playing Russian roulette. 1096 01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, A smart pat pat, A smart person does 1097 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 1: that for the reasons I just mentioned it. Maybe a 1098 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 1: whole lot more. But you know, we're talking about maybe 1099 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: people on budgets and stoners and young people who are like, 1100 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't have forty dollars, I've got twenty and there's 1101 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: a guy in the storm in the corner selling you 1102 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 1: weed for twenty bucks, and oh lo and behold, it's 1103 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: gott fentanyl. 1104 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 10: In it or may Yeah, see the whole recreational thing. Okay, yeah, 1105 01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 10: I see it. I smell it all the time, and 1106 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 10: I do with the level of thac in it. Now, 1107 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 10: how in the world can people be even moderately functional 1108 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 10: when they're under the influence of weed. That's that's strong 1109 01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 10: and I just scratched my head. But I mean, it 1110 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,000 Speaker 10: is a choice that you make. And then this is 1111 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 10: a free country. But you at a certain point having 1112 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 10: it in pop or beverages and having it in gummies 1113 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,600 Speaker 10: that you know, you can walk around and you're eating 1114 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 10: a gummy and next thing you know, the kids sitting 1115 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 10: next to you in class is acting bizarre. Well, it's 1116 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 10: probably because they've got into mommy and Daddy's gummies or 1117 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 10: somebody sold them some, and now they're going to be 1118 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:25,760 Speaker 10: stupid the rest of the day, and they're gonna probably 1119 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 10: go out in protest with walle of deal scars. 1120 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,760 Speaker 1: That's certainly possible, But you're pointing out problems that have 1121 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,720 Speaker 1: existed since well the down of mankind drugs. As long 1122 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 1: as there are drugs out there, legal or illegal, people 1123 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 1: are gonna make terrible choices and terrible things are going 1124 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 1: to happen. And yes, you're gonna have some space cadets 1125 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 1: floating around out there.

Do they really truly believe 1160 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,680 Speaker 1: you can turn a male into a female or a 1161 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 1: female into a male, despite the fact that the chromosomes 1162 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,520 Speaker 1: never change, merely by altering the exterior, you know what, 1163 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 1: you can see parts of a human being, and you're 1164 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,880 Speaker 1: all going out, there's no way that's not right, It 1165 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 1: could never be right. But yet they're doing it well. 1166 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 1: Wait long enough, and someone's going to get a two 1167 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:58,720 Speaker 1: million dollars a civil lawsuit settlement for the gender mutilation 1168 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 1: that happened, that just happened the other day. The first 1169 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,919 Speaker 1: of what will ultimately be many who regret that these 1170 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 1: adults in the room push them toward dangerous choices. Welcome 1171 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 1: to the first domino to fall. The American Society of 1172 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,919 Speaker 1: Plastic Surgeons as now recommending that member physicians refrain from 1173 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: performing gender transition surgeries on anybody under the age of nineteen. 1174 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 1: And you know what, who else is coming along on board? 1175 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 1: The American Medical Association, they too have signaled that they're 1176 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 1: going to do the same thing as the American Society 1177 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: of Plastic Surgeons. Don't do it. The Plastic Surgeons Group's 1178 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 1: position statement quote when uncertainty occurs not just the magnitude 1179 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 1: of the benefit, but the existence of the benefit in 1180 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 1: and out of itself, and when potential harms are irreversible 1181 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,439 Speaker 1: and identity defining, the principles of beneficence and non moleficence 1182 01:06:55,560 --> 01:07:00,240 Speaker 1: require a more precautionary approach. You gotta do a little 1183 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 1: weighing of the cost benefit analysis. Is the boiled down 1184 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 1: version of that former ASPS president Scott Brady Glassberg, quoted 1185 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: in The New York Times, there's no data to suggest 1186 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: that you can predict who will benefit from surgery and 1187 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,440 Speaker 1: who will have negative outcome. That requires taking the side 1188 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 1: of caution, which means deferring or postponing these surgeries until 1189 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 1: the age of nineteen, called nineteen arbitrary. At least that 1190 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:33,000 Speaker 1: person is an adult and can make adult choices. Accord 1191 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 1: to the report of the overwhelming majority of gender altering 1192 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:39,360 Speaker 1: surgeries performed on minors are mass sectomies and yes. Last 1193 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 1: week in New York, jury found a psychologist and a 1194 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,920 Speaker 1: surgeon lible from olpractice after lopping off the breast of 1195 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 1: a sixteen year old girl, who ultimately lived with a 1196 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of regret, filed a lawsuit. She's now twenty 1197 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: two and does identify as a woman now whoops, I 1198 01:07:55,160 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: was a young person, I made a mistake, and she 1199 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 1: now identifies as a millionaire. And a statement from ASPS, 1200 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 1: they pointed to Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, all 1201 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,080 Speaker 1: of whom have upgraded their guidance to recommend against endocrine 1202 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,800 Speaker 1: that will be the chemical component and surgical interventions for 1203 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: miners good going over to the American Medical Association, asked 1204 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:29,599 Speaker 1: on Tuesday if they would update their stance. AMA, speaking 1205 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,080 Speaker 1: with National Reviews, said that because the evidence for gender 1206 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,880 Speaker 1: affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to 1207 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: make a definitive statement, the AMA agrees with the ASPS 1208 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:46,240 Speaker 1: that surgical interventions on miners should be generally deferred to adulthood. 1209 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,400 Speaker 1: Ce you and I were right all along. Six fifty 1210 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: five afty five ker City Talk steation in studio Citizen 1211 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 1: watch Dog Todd Zinzer.

Todd Zinzer, You know, I say, just I'm 1237 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: gonna pick the solar panel. Can we can we go 1238 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 1: about this to start with, because they're all equally mind boggling, Yes, 1239 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 1: all right, the City of Cincinnati is it's this part 1240 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 1: of that green energy policy that they're pursuing, right, that's right. Okay, 1241 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 1: is this Do they have a date by which we're 1242 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 1: supposed to be carbon neutral or some other odd nonsense. 1243 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 2: The goal is to be carbon neutral and Cincinnati by 1244 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 2: twenty fifty. 1245 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, just let me throw out there. Does anybody 1246 01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,439 Speaker 1: outside of the city limits in Hamilton County or Butler 1247 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 1: Warren Adams County, my friends in northern Kentucky, any of 1248 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,400 Speaker 1: those folks striving to be carbon neutral by the same date, 1249 01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: Not that I know of. We all breathe the same 1250 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 1: mayor does it kind of blow across areas? Okay? And 1251 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 1: we even get win from China, don't we in India 1252 01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: and Turkey and other countries who don't even lift a 1253 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,519 Speaker 1: finger to get carbon dioxide out of the plant off 1254 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:10,520 Speaker 1: out of the atmosphere. 1255 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:11,759 Speaker 2: As far as I know, it's. 1256 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 1: One big round globe, right, Okay, because I've heard those 1257 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:20,639 Speaker 1: arguments made before. Okay, will this accomplish anything by way 1258 01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 1: of global carbon dioxide reductions? Given the realities of what 1259 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 1: we just talked about. I know, I'm just asking sort 1260 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,639 Speaker 1: of you know, rhetorical questions here, Todd. 1261 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, if you read the city manager's January fourteenth memo, 1262 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:39,360 Speaker 2: it is going to produced carbon neutrality by globally. 1263 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's good. 1264 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 2: No, it's I think it's only going to be in 1265 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 2: a city. 1266 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 1: This is the dumb part about it. You got a 1267 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,760 Speaker 1: finite number of dollars. Are we still thirty one? True? 1268 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,839 Speaker 1: A million dollars in the hole in terms of our budget. 1269 01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's still the projected deficit. 1270 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,600 Speaker 1: All right, so we have we are underwater, we have 1271 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:59,000 Speaker 1: no extra money. And yet they're pursuing the building of 1272 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 1: a solar panel and they already have one, don't they. 1273 01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 2: Yes, they do. 1274 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 1: Okay, let's walk through that one real quick. Rewind history. 1275 01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 1: And the city of Cincinnati paid for a solar panel 1276 01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 1: farm somewhere. 1277 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's out east a little ways. I forget 1278 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:15,120 Speaker 2: which county it's in. It's called the new Market Solar Array, 1279 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 2: So it's new Market, Ohio, I think. 1280 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,760 Speaker 1: And you've got a power line hooked up from out 1281 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 1: there into the city. 1282 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,639 Speaker 2: Well that's interesting because and their proposal for the new 1283 01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:29,160 Speaker 2: solar array they say they already have a distribution network 1284 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,400 Speaker 2: that exists there. So I don't know. I don't know 1285 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 2: what that is. But I don't either, I don't really 1286 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 2: know how it all works. 1287 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,960 Speaker 1: Brian, Okay, look good, because if you don't know, I 1288 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: take great comfort in that because I truly consider you 1289 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: to be a brilliant man, and you've been demonstrably brilliant. 1290 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 1: So we got a solar panel array. Is there any 1291 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:51,719 Speaker 1: information that's been produced that shows how much that solar 1292 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,680 Speaker 1: panel array that we've already paid for, the one that 1293 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, how much power generates, and whether there 1294 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,559 Speaker 1: was the return on investment that I presume we were 1295 01:12:58,600 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 1: promised from it. 1296 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 2: Well, when this proposal was put on the agenda, I 1297 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 2: went ahead and looked for performance information for the existing 1298 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 2: solar panel array, which if. 1299 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: It worked, great, they'd be waving it around everywhere, wouldn't they. 1300 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 2: I would think, so, yeah, they're pretty good at that. 1301 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:15,599 Speaker 1: Yeah they are. 1302 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 2: But my problem with the way this works, and this 1303 01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 2: is also an emergency ordinance, which is a whole other issue. 1304 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 1: So we got to hurry up and build another solar 1305 01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,240 Speaker 1: array up panel? Yes, okay, okay. 1306 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 2: And I didn't see any information that the city council 1307 01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,080 Speaker 2: members relied on to make this decision. You have a memo, 1308 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:43,759 Speaker 2: a two page memo from the from the city manager, 1309 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,520 Speaker 2: and they were presented with a fifteen page PowerPoint presentation 1310 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:53,439 Speaker 2: with a lot of photos and big print, and that 1311 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 2: that presentation I looked and that was from twenty twenty four, 1312 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 2: So that was that was pre he's ended before the 1313 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 2: federal government withheld a ten million dollar grand for the project. 1314 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,519 Speaker 2: And so now rather than say, you know what, we're 1315 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,360 Speaker 2: gonna wait and see what happens here, they're going to 1316 01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,920 Speaker 2: spend the city's own money to put that solarray panel 1317 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 2: to the tune of twelve million dollars. 1318 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 1: Right, a new solary And by the way, just tracker 1319 01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 1: looked it up. New Market Solar array is in Highland County. 1320 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:28,240 Speaker 1: He says, it's over near the Serpent Mound. Oh yeah, okay, 1321 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,439 Speaker 1: it's up there, removed from the city limits and outside 1322 01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:37,120 Speaker 1: of the Hamilton County even yes, all right, So, with 1323 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 1: no information about whether that one works or even met 1324 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 1: the expectations, they're going to build another one. They were 1325 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 1: expecting federal grant money to cover the whole thing, basically 1326 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,280 Speaker 1: so they could virtue signal without it costing anyone any 1327 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: money within the budget for it within the city's budget. Right, 1328 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,040 Speaker 1: the plug got pulled on it for a multitude of reasons, 1329 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,559 Speaker 1: most notably that they don't produce the electricity that they promise, 1330 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 1: and they are more expensive to build and operate, and 1331 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 1: yet the city is going to move forward in spite 1332 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,000 Speaker 1: of the fact they got a thirty one million dollar 1333 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,559 Speaker 1: hole to fill going forward, it's twelve million dollars. 1334 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 2: I think you had said, that's what the city has 1335 01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 2: put aside now to spend on that. Yes, twelve million. 1336 01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: And all for an objective that is like trying to 1337 01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 1: chase your tail and the reduction of carbon dioxide by 1338 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 1: one city, as if it's going to have any impact 1339 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: on the globe at all whatsoever. 1340 01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:30,599 Speaker 2: Right, that's my perspective. 1341 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 1: Anyway, Okay, I'm having trouble making sense of how they 1342 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 1: can support moving forward this tot. I mean, come on, 1343 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 1: do we not have potholes that continue to need to 1344 01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,639 Speaker 1: be filled. Is there not infrastructure that is still crumbling? 1345 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: Are there not neighborhoods that are in need of law 1346 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 1: enforcement and maybe some street cameras or whatever we do 1347 01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: to help improve neighborhoods and make communities safer. 1348 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I went down to city Hall and 1349 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,800 Speaker 2: claim my two minutes to talk to the council, and 1350 01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,960 Speaker 2: that's what I said. I said, don't you have better 1351 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,640 Speaker 2: things to do? With twelve million dollars, I'd say a 1352 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 2: lot of money. 1353 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,639 Speaker 1: But they're not obligated to answer your questions, are they. 1354 01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 2: No, they don't. It's not a back and forth. 1355 01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:07,679 Speaker 1: So it's like talking to a wall. 1356 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 6: Uh. 1357 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:10,719 Speaker 2: You could say that, yeah. 1358 01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 1: Did you send them a letter or anything that would 1359 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 1: obligate them to follow up? I mean, I know they're 1360 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,639 Speaker 1: freedom of information and actor questions and things of that nature, 1361 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,479 Speaker 1: but you can't force them to answer a logical, reasonable question, 1362 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 1: can you. 1363 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think I send a letter after after 1364 01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 2: that two minutes, but I have sent letters in the 1365 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 2: past just to kind of confirm what I've said in 1366 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 2: my two minutes. I never get a response. They don't 1367 01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,639 Speaker 2: respond back, even though the council rules say they they 1368 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:40,800 Speaker 2: should take these correspondent seriously and do their best to respond. 1369 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,000 Speaker 2: I haven't brought that up to them one time. 1370 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 1: Well, Todd, I'm I'm struggling to find I mean, I 1371 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 1: can't see literally anything that the city's going to benefit 1372 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,439 Speaker 1: from this at all. Well, I know there's I mean, 1373 01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 1: there's some people that there's got to be a bunch 1374 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 1: of very far hardcore blue voters out there who live 1375 01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,640 Speaker 1: in one of these neighborhoods where they just believe that 1376 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,599 Speaker 1: the Democrat answer is going to They're going to solve 1377 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 1: every problem in the neighborhood. Oh, we just got to 1378 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 1: vote for Democrats. They're gonna come over here and whatever 1379 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,520 Speaker 1: they think is going to happen in any given neighborhood. 1380 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: Does anyone truly believe that those folks in those neighborhoods 1381 01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,800 Speaker 1: that need some attention put this on their priority list 1382 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: at all? In the top ten things that any person 1383 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 1: in any neighborhood in the fifty two in the city 1384 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,680 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati got a list, what do you think the 1385 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,400 Speaker 1: city should do here to make my life better? I 1386 01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 1: garon Blanc and Tee. As I sit here, not one 1387 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,200 Speaker 1: is going to say we need a solar panel farm. 1388 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 2: Right, No, it's it's it's definitely just dogma. You know 1389 01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 2: that all this stuff about you know, carbon neutrality, and 1390 01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,639 Speaker 2: you know, may maybe it'll do some good. I don't know, 1391 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:47,800 Speaker 2: but I don't think it's a very good business. It's 1392 01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:48,719 Speaker 2: business decision. 1393 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,640 Speaker 1: It's going to do good for the solar panel manufacturers, 1394 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 1: which is ultimately China, the individuals who will be installing 1395 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: the solar panels, and the people who are left to 1396 01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,800 Speaker 1: maintain and upkeep the solar panels, which I spect will 1397 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,599 Speaker 1: be a higher priority than the roads in the city 1398 01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. We just got a foot of snow. We 1399 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 1: could go. I wonder what that panel farm up in 1400 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:11,479 Speaker 1: Highland County look like? And did they have to hire 1401 01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,679 Speaker 1: people to shovel the snow off of the panels? Because 1402 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 1: I have to guess Todd, and I am a dumb man. 1403 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 1: I'll admit I'm not versed in matters of scientific or 1404 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,200 Speaker 1: how solar panels or the sun transform. The sun is 1405 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,479 Speaker 1: transformed into the flow of electricity, but as I sit here, 1406 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to bet every single dime I have that 1407 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 1: if the solar panels covered by a foot of snow, 1408 01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,120 Speaker 1: it's not going to generate electricity seven to fifteen right now, 1409 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:35,960 Speaker 1: if you have ker City Talk station, what do you 1410 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 1: hear what they did with the the talk station seven 1411 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 1: nineteen If you have ker City Talk Station. Brian Thomas 1412 01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 1: was Citizen Watchdog. Todd Senser Citizen Watchdog the name of 1413 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,439 Speaker 1: the podcast, and of course defines Todd's role a self 1414 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:54,160 Speaker 1: appointed role in pointing out the batcrap insanity of the 1415 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati and its priorities. Okay, so we dealt 1416 01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: with the epic epic fail that is the solar pane. 1417 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,479 Speaker 1: Given the list of priorities we have in the city, 1418 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:07,719 Speaker 1: God Almighty, let us pivot over to three hundred million 1419 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 1: dollars the city of Cincinnati received as a for pandemic relief. 1420 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 1: This is COVID nineteen money. This was episode forty five 1421 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 1: of Todd Zenzer's Citizen Watchdog. Find Citizen Watchdog and listen 1422 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:20,600 Speaker 1: to what he has to say about it, which we 1423 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 1: will scratch the service of Right now, what was the 1424 01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 1: money designed for? 1425 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:25,760 Speaker 6: Todd? 1426 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 1: I've always been of the mindset that that was a 1427 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 1: sort of a nefarious way using COVID nineteen as an 1428 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 1: excuse to shovel massive millions of dollars to a lot 1429 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: of underwater leftist leaning cities like New York was having 1430 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 1: budget problems Los Angeles. Then you enter COVID, nobody's working. 1431 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 1: The problem gets worse. All the things that had already 1432 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 1: dug him into the hole got worse. So if we 1433 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 1: just throw all kinds of money at these cities, they 1434 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,240 Speaker 1: can level their budgetary whole playing field and then maybe 1435 01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 1: choose a better path and direction going forward. So we've 1436 01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:00,240 Speaker 1: reset things, we've started from scratch. You no longer our 1437 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: in financial peril because of your COVID nineteen money. So 1438 01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,320 Speaker 1: we were in a similar position, not as bad as 1439 01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,800 Speaker 1: in New York or Los Angeles or Chicago, but we 1440 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,600 Speaker 1: had our budget problems going into COVID nineteen. So lo 1441 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,720 Speaker 1: and behold how much? How many millions of dollars did 1442 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 1: we get in COVID nineteen money. 1443 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,519 Speaker 2: Well, there's two different tranches. There's the first tranch was 1444 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 2: called the CARES Act, and that was under Trump and 1445 01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 2: Trump's last year, right, and that was like the payroll 1446 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 2: Protection Plan. Everybody got us a check sometimes stimulus check. 1447 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:36,599 Speaker 2: Fraught of that and different different things about immediate needs 1448 01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,400 Speaker 2: that the cities were going to suffer because of the 1449 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,479 Speaker 2: they shut down commerce, et cetera. So that was the 1450 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:46,639 Speaker 2: CARES Act. And then when Biden comes along, they passed 1451 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:51,559 Speaker 2: the American Recovery Plan Act, and that put two point 1452 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 2: five trillion dollars into the economy, and about five hundred 1453 01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:02,680 Speaker 2: a billion of that was to the state and local governments. 1454 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,400 Speaker 2: So that's the pool of money. And the city got 1455 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:11,080 Speaker 2: about three hundred million dollars and two tranches, one in 1456 01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:14,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and one in twenty three, and so 1457 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 2: they had until December of twenty four to obligate it all, 1458 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 2: which they've done. They've obligated one hundred percent of it 1459 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,519 Speaker 2: from what I can tell, and they claim I'm trying 1460 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 2: to figure out how much they have left. It's very difficult, 1461 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,439 Speaker 2: and I'll get into that, I guess, but I think 1462 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:37,599 Speaker 2: they have about twenty five to thirty million dollars left 1463 01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:43,440 Speaker 2: to spend. But what they did is the Treasury Department 1464 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 2: let the cities put their funds in four different groups, 1465 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 2: and each group had different levels of kind of accountability. 1466 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,520 Speaker 1: So here we go the cities. 1467 01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 2: The city decided to put two hundred and it got 1468 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 2: three two hundred and eighty million dollars. Let's say they 1469 01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 2: put two hundred and forty million of that into what's 1470 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 2: called revenue replacement. And revenue replacement is this catch all category. 1471 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,920 Speaker 2: And as a result of that, they the city announced 1472 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,600 Speaker 2: in their twenty twenty five report to the Treasury Department 1473 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:29,840 Speaker 2: that they had created sixty new programs in contract signings. 1474 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 1: We're talking NGOs here, aren't we. 1475 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:38,439 Speaker 2: Absolutely that's sixty new ones, sixty new programs. So when 1476 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:42,040 Speaker 2: I when you look at it. So I went to 1477 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:45,680 Speaker 2: their financial statements to see, okay, how did what was 1478 01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 2: the increase in revenue during those years? And what I 1479 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 2: looked at. What I looked at was the grants. What 1480 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,599 Speaker 2: was the level of federal grants that the city received 1481 01:22:55,640 --> 01:23:00,599 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two versus twenty nineteen before or COVID 1482 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, the city got forty four million dollars in grants. 1483 01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,519 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one with this COVID money, they got 1484 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety eight million dollars, and then the 1485 01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 2: following year they got one hundred and seventy one million dollars. 1486 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 2: So each year they got between one hundred and twenty 1487 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,800 Speaker 2: and one hundred and fifty million dollars more than what 1488 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:27,480 Speaker 2: they had received prior to COVID. And you see programs 1489 01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 2: like an Act for Sincey, the Financial Freedom Blueprint, which 1490 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:38,439 Speaker 2: has all these different programs to help the underserved. You 1491 01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 2: have the Green Cincinnati Plan. All of that appears to 1492 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:46,519 Speaker 2: have been funded by this COVID money that the city received. 1493 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: Well, it's a finite number of dollars. It's COVID related. 1494 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,920 Speaker 1: COVID's gone. We're not getting any more big piles of 1495 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 1: money from the federal government. So that means, right, Todd Zensert, 1496 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,080 Speaker 1: that all of these plans that were funded by that 1497 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: short term injection or infusion of cash won't be funded 1498 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 1: going forward. They'll have to close shop and go away, right, 1499 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the normal course of matters, Toddzenzer? 1500 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 6: Right? 1501 01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 2: What happened is they took these one time pots of 1502 01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:20,800 Speaker 2: money and they established continuing programs with that instead of 1503 01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:21,719 Speaker 2: one time uses. 1504 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:23,760 Speaker 1: I knew the answered My question was no, No, They're 1505 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 1: going to continue. So I guess the other weird thing 1506 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 1: about this are you telling me that at the time 1507 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,800 Speaker 1: these sixty new grant programs were set up, that there 1508 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: was no other prior program that was out there that 1509 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 1: was designed to serve whatever need they identified? Well, these 1510 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,120 Speaker 1: outstanding needs had existed for such a long time and 1511 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 1: were finally getting around to them sixty different NGOs. Right, Well, 1512 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 1: I can't say that, because of course the SEC would 1513 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 1: not be happy with me. 1514 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 2: Well, because of the way that the city decided to 1515 01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:02,439 Speaker 2: categorize these these moneies, what they spent it on. You 1516 01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,160 Speaker 2: have to keep digging down and down, and yeah, you 1517 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,240 Speaker 2: would actually have to get and I will probably do 1518 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:12,679 Speaker 2: that you try to get the ledger accounts to see 1519 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:17,439 Speaker 2: exactly who got the checks. There's some high level groups 1520 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 2: that are announced that received like the Urban League got 1521 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:26,760 Speaker 2: one hundred and got one point five million, y WCA 1522 01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,080 Speaker 2: got money. I mean, the list goes on and on, 1523 01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,599 Speaker 2: but you don't really know what they used it for 1524 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 2: and how how did the city decide which group gets 1525 01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,479 Speaker 2: which money? That is all still behind the curtain. 1526 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 1: Oh my word. We have more a full hour of 1527 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,320 Speaker 1: this with Citizen Watchdog Todds ins or. I don't know 1528 01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,639 Speaker 1: if I can say it only gets worse, but will 1529 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 1: continue on the perilous path that we're on Station Krcity 1530 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 1: Talk Station Brian Thalmas, citizen with Citizen Watchdog, Former Inspector 1531 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 1: General for the United States Todds Ends are going through 1532 01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,120 Speaker 1: some of the issues in the city, Sin say that 1533 01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 1: you saw figured out and we were still talking about 1534 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 1: this three hundred roughly three hundred million dollars in COVID 1535 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,559 Speaker 1: nineteen money, some of which or a large chunk of 1536 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 1: which allocated to sixty brand new non governmental organization programs 1537 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: which will will necessarily have to be funded on an 1538 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 1: ongoing basis going forward. Not that we have any idea 1539 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:24,479 Speaker 1: what the money is actually being used for it even if, 1540 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 1: as you pointed out as we were into the break, 1541 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,519 Speaker 1: the YMCA is getting some on its face like, well, 1542 01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 1: who can argue with govern some money to the YMCA 1543 01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 1: that helps the community and provides place for activities and 1544 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,600 Speaker 1: breah blah blah, But we don't know what the YMCA 1545 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,000 Speaker 1: did with the money. And that's the problem that extends 1546 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 1: throughout all of these grants. And this is not just 1547 01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,479 Speaker 1: a Cincinnati problem, folks. And one of the beautiful things 1548 01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:46,680 Speaker 1: we can point to the city of Cincinnati because it's 1549 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,720 Speaker 1: relative to my local listeners, even folks who don't live 1550 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:53,599 Speaker 1: in it. But this is illustrative of the national plague 1551 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 1: we've got going on with non governmental organizations getting our 1552 01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:57,479 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. 1553 01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 2: That's definitely correct, no question about it. 1554 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,320 Speaker 1: I'd love to see what the Democrat Party would look like, 1555 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,719 Speaker 1: or even the Republicans the extent they're involved in any 1556 01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,719 Speaker 1: of this. If you could just magically waive the wand 1557 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:14,320 Speaker 1: and eliminate all fraud in any program. That's not to 1558 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,040 Speaker 1: take all the money away from all the programs, because 1559 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,919 Speaker 1: there may be some that are actually accomplishing what they promised. 1560 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 1: To accomplish if we knew what they were doing with 1561 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 1: the money. But just the ones that are taking the 1562 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,519 Speaker 1: money and sending it to political campaigns, or lining their 1563 01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 1: own pockets or paying themselves handsome salaries, you know, making 1564 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 1: six figure salaries that work because I work for a 1565 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 1: nonprofit work, that would be an amazing thing to but hold. 1566 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:37,599 Speaker 1: It would also be interesting to see how the Democrat 1567 01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 1: Party would do by way of funding if all that 1568 01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,720 Speaker 1: fraud money disappeared. Anyway, Todd, you had something more to 1569 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:45,679 Speaker 1: say about this three hundred million dollars in COVID money. 1570 01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,519 Speaker 2: Well, the reason I went back and looked at the 1571 01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 2: COVID money and was because of the noise coming out 1572 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 2: of City Hall that they want to raise the arnings tax. Yeah, 1573 01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:00,160 Speaker 2: and when I look at their books, they got a 1574 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,720 Speaker 2: lot of money. And if they try to use the 1575 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 2: loss of COVID money as a reason to increase the 1576 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,759 Speaker 2: earnings tax, that would not be honest. 1577 01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,719 Speaker 1: No, it would not be honest. Todd. You don't really 1578 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,040 Speaker 1: truly expect honesty from this administration, do you. 1579 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 2: Well, Unfortunately, it's really hard to understand exactly what the 1580 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,520 Speaker 2: city is doing all the time. Well, they're not transparent 1581 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 2: I can tell you. 1582 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:32,600 Speaker 1: That they're not. They hide information that should be readily available, 1583 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:38,320 Speaker 1: which leads you, notably and in expert capacity to speculate, 1584 01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 1: and folks like me who don't have that level of 1585 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 1: knowledge to speculate and go down some tangent like, oh 1586 01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,400 Speaker 1: my god, this is truly nefarious. And we can come 1587 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 1: up with a million different ways about why this is 1588 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 1: just outright wrong, if not make a good argument that 1589 01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 1: it could be even criminal. 1590 01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,720 Speaker 2: Well, the thing that really bothers me is that the 1591 01:28:55,800 --> 01:29:00,600 Speaker 2: city council has no interest in oversight of the city administration. 1592 01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 2: They just go right along and that's all. 1593 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 1: It's a part time job, Todd. You can't be expected 1594 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,759 Speaker 1: to mind the store when it's a part time job. 1595 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:13,840 Speaker 2: Well, they're not even curious. And that's what really bothers me. 1596 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 2: Like on the solar array or on some of this 1597 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 2: COVID money, they just go right along with whatever the 1598 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,040 Speaker 2: mayor and the administration want to do. 1599 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 1: Yes, they do, you know, on that solarray. We're going 1600 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,880 Speaker 1: back to the whole just how epic stupid it is 1601 01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,360 Speaker 1: to think that carbon neutrality in the city of Cincinnati 1602 01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,240 Speaker 1: is somehow going to benefit the globe or even the 1603 01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,920 Speaker 1: city itself. I was joking with Todd over the break, 1604 01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 1: I seeing we should do just let's take all this 1605 01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,040 Speaker 1: money and buy a giant dome, big glass dome, and 1606 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,680 Speaker 1: put it over the city of Cincinnati. All fifty neighborhoods 1607 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:47,440 Speaker 1: vacuum seal it, of course, provide them with fresh carbon dioxide, 1608 01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,680 Speaker 1: free oxygen, and see how long it takes for all 1609 01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:57,400 Speaker 1: the plants to die. Seven five. We're not done. The 1610 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,840 Speaker 1: list has not been exhausted. The budget money in the 1611 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:06,400 Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. We'll talk about station seven thirty nine. 1612 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:09,080 Speaker 1: If you bought KCD talk station. Congressman David Taylor after 1613 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:12,400 Speaker 1: the top of the art is in the meantime, City 1614 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. They don't realize how blessed they are to 1615 01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 1: have Todd Zens or citizen watchdog, former Inspector General looking 1616 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 1: at these records and trying to find out answers to questions. 1617 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,000 Speaker 1: It seemed very perplexing. A lot of that topic so 1618 01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 1: far this morning. The solar panel, insulation batcraft stupid and crazy. 1619 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,160 Speaker 1: The three hundred million dollars in funding received from the 1620 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,120 Speaker 1: pandemic relief that's now we find it's gone to fund 1621 01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:38,760 Speaker 1: sixty non governmental organizations resulting in the city taxpayers maybe 1622 01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:44,920 Speaker 1: having to have their taxes increased, crazy, inexplicable, probably corrupt. Now, 1623 01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:48,560 Speaker 1: let's pivot over to the railroad money. Toddsenser sold the 1624 01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,640 Speaker 1: railroad for one point whatever billion dollars money putt into 1625 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 1: trust fund. Interest generated is supposed to be handed over 1626 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:57,280 Speaker 1: to the City of Cincinnati to help our work on 1627 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:03,160 Speaker 1: existing infrastructure projects. I know there's some question marks swirling 1628 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:06,559 Speaker 1: around what is actually started by way of projects, what 1629 01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,320 Speaker 1: have they done with the money, what's been allocated. There's 1630 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 1: these complicating layers on it. But we find out now 1631 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:19,639 Speaker 1: after you investigate that level that there's another layl level 1632 01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:24,000 Speaker 1: of well I ou't of his duplicity or but really 1633 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,440 Speaker 1: swirling question marks. Let my listeners know what you discovered. 1634 01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 2: Todd Zenzer, Well, do you remember before Christmas, Local twelve 1635 01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 2: ran a report about how the city was unable to 1636 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:42,240 Speaker 2: use their railway money on infrastructure projects that they had 1637 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:46,800 Speaker 2: only spent like six percent of the tranch that the 1638 01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 2: board had sent over. 1639 01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:50,120 Speaker 1: This was the interest generated and how much money had 1640 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 1: they sent over roughly was tens of millions of dollars right. 1641 01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:56,360 Speaker 2: Well, the annual amount that they agreed to send to 1642 01:31:56,400 --> 01:32:00,320 Speaker 2: the city for this year was fifty six million. Were 1643 01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 2: they were putting that or sending that to the city 1644 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:07,800 Speaker 2: in four different tranches, So I'm not sure exactly how 1645 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:12,640 Speaker 2: much they sent. But the Local twelve report generated a 1646 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:17,320 Speaker 2: lot of controversy, and the city council asked. 1647 01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,519 Speaker 1: Because we don't see any projects starting, right, that's right, 1648 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:22,400 Speaker 1: they got them. We know they got the money. The 1649 01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:24,320 Speaker 1: Railroad board said, we gave them the money. We know 1650 01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 1: it's in the fifty million dollar range. So that local 1651 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,680 Speaker 1: news says, where did it go? We're not seeing it 1652 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:32,160 Speaker 1: and getting done here, and this is the that results 1653 01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:33,000 Speaker 1: in right. 1654 01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:35,720 Speaker 2: So after that report, I sent a letter to the 1655 01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 2: board to make sure they saw the Local twelve report. 1656 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,519 Speaker 2: I put a hyperlink in it, and I reminded them 1657 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:45,960 Speaker 2: that in February of last year, in twenty twenty five, 1658 01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 2: I went to their board meeting and I alerted them 1659 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,280 Speaker 2: that the city was does not have the capacity to 1660 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,200 Speaker 2: spend that money, and they need to figure out what 1661 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,479 Speaker 2: they're going to do if the city, you know, doesn't 1662 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,760 Speaker 2: spend the money. And what's happened is we found that 1663 01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:04,519 Speaker 2: what the what. 1664 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:06,800 Speaker 1: The board is going to do the city doesn't spend 1665 01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,080 Speaker 1: the money, right, because they gave it in good faith 1666 01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,160 Speaker 1: to the city based upon I guess a list of 1667 01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:12,720 Speaker 1: projects that the cell told them. 1668 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 2: They followed the law. The law tells them they have 1669 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,080 Speaker 2: to give them so much, and then they decide how 1670 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:19,200 Speaker 2: much more to give them. 1671 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 1: Oh okay, So. 1672 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,360 Speaker 2: I lost my train of thought here when so. 1673 01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:27,240 Speaker 1: You alert the board that the money went over but 1674 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,400 Speaker 1: there's no you can't account for what it was, right. 1675 01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,320 Speaker 2: So the board actually sent a letter to the city 1676 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 2: apparently I haven't seen it, but and the finance director 1677 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,439 Speaker 2: wrote back to the board and told them that, well, 1678 01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:43,680 Speaker 2: if we can't use it, we put it in our 1679 01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:44,679 Speaker 2: investment account. 1680 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:49,000 Speaker 1: So they city has opened a separate investment account. 1681 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,160 Speaker 2: Well, they have an investment account. Oh, oh, existing one, 1682 01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 2: and the investment account has one point six billion dollars 1683 01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 2: of its own in there. And so they're taking railway 1684 01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,560 Speaker 2: money that they can't spend and they're putting it in 1685 01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 2: there in their own investment account on top of their 1686 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,840 Speaker 2: existing investments, and they're you know, that's adding to their 1687 01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:10,599 Speaker 2: earnings from that investment account. 1688 01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:15,040 Speaker 1: And those earnings are not restricted to existing infrastructure, are they? 1689 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:16,040 Speaker 1: Todd Zenzer right? 1690 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,240 Speaker 2: If you were, Let's say that money's. 1691 01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:20,479 Speaker 1: A way to get around the existing infrastructure limit to 1692 01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:22,960 Speaker 1: the to the railroad money. Todd, can I just state 1693 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,439 Speaker 1: that out loud? I mean, I right, Yeah, you have to. 1694 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,439 Speaker 2: You have to. We don't know yet. Apparently the city 1695 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:30,200 Speaker 2: is going to go to the meeting next week in 1696 01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,200 Speaker 2: front of the board and hopefully they're going to explain 1697 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:34,960 Speaker 2: all this. But that's exactly what it looks like. And 1698 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:39,000 Speaker 2: let's say that money, that that millions of dollars was stolen, Well, 1699 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:42,360 Speaker 2: putting it into an account like that washes it so 1700 01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:45,080 Speaker 2: you can't really trace it. And that's really what's happening here, 1701 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:49,040 Speaker 2: is that they have washed the money of the railway 1702 01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:54,040 Speaker 2: color and now it's Cincinnati money. And that wasn't the 1703 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,240 Speaker 2: intent of the law when it was when they passed 1704 01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:56,559 Speaker 2: the law. 1705 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:57,960 Speaker 1: And given that it was not the intent of the 1706 01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,960 Speaker 1: law and it violates the clear intent of the law, 1707 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 1: is there any way that an illegal action could be 1708 01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,840 Speaker 1: filed on the board could otherwise claw that money back 1709 01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:07,560 Speaker 1: and say, hey, we shouldn't have sent it to you 1710 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:09,240 Speaker 1: in the first place. Look at what you're doing. You're 1711 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:11,400 Speaker 1: investing it in your own investment account, and you're taking 1712 01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,000 Speaker 1: away the limitations on its use. 1713 01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they either need to try to do 1714 01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:17,439 Speaker 2: that or make clear that they're not going to be 1715 01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,120 Speaker 2: sending tranches of money like that to the city anymore. 1716 01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:22,880 Speaker 2: And then what I'm proposing is that the board use 1717 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,920 Speaker 2: a drawdown system where when the city needs the money 1718 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:28,680 Speaker 2: because they have a bill pending for some work, that 1719 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:30,680 Speaker 2: they come to the board and they draw down the 1720 01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,200 Speaker 2: money that they need. That's how that's how most of 1721 01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:36,599 Speaker 2: these infrastructure accounts operate. 1722 01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,639 Speaker 1: Sounds to me like the only way they should operate. 1723 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 1: This is just I still can't get over that is 1724 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:43,960 Speaker 1: going on. 1725 01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:44,240 Speaker 7: Tot. 1726 01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 2: I sent a letter to them again last night reminding 1727 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:52,479 Speaker 2: them again and reasserting my recommendation. 1728 01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 1: To the board or to counsel to the board. To 1729 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:57,600 Speaker 1: the board, yes, to the well, at least the board 1730 01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,800 Speaker 1: gets the attention to council, and council or the mayor 1731 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,160 Speaker 1: or maybe the city manager at least has to respond 1732 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:05,400 Speaker 1: to the board. They are responding to have to respond 1733 01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 1: to Todd Zinzer. 1734 01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:07,960 Speaker 2: That's right, they are responding to the board. 1735 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 1: See, that's why we have Todd the talk station five KRC, 1736 01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:23,800 Speaker 1: the talk station Happy Friday e Right Time was here 1737 01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,840 Speaker 1: with Citizen Watchdog Todd's zinser again. You know, he dives 1738 01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:28,680 Speaker 1: in even more in depth in his podcasts and some 1739 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:30,600 Speaker 1: of the topics we're talking about this morning, all of 1740 01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:34,680 Speaker 1: which just spell I mean grave concern from my perspective 1741 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:38,439 Speaker 1: about the existence of well, lack of oversight, perhaps fraud 1742 01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,280 Speaker 1: and corruption. All I know is you can't follow the 1743 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,960 Speaker 1: money anywhere in the city of Cincinnati. And that last 1744 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 1: little insight about the city getting the railroad money then 1745 01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,960 Speaker 1: parking in its own investment account. Man, somebody's got to 1746 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 1: do something about that. So Todd's on the job on that. 1747 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,280 Speaker 1: We'll see what the Railroad board does. But pivoting back, 1748 01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:56,960 Speaker 1: we started out this morning the laughable concept of the 1749 01:36:56,960 --> 01:37:00,000 Speaker 1: city buying and paying for out of the general fund 1750 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,639 Speaker 1: since the federal dollars aren't there anymore. This new solar 1751 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,360 Speaker 1: panel farm wherever they're planning on building it, it's a 1752 01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:08,519 Speaker 1: preposterous notion anyway, It's a pointless gesture in the name 1753 01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:15,880 Speaker 1: of virtue signaling. But you mentioned that it was pursuant 1754 01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:21,840 Speaker 1: to an emergency declaration. Right now, the power hasn't gone 1755 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:25,280 Speaker 1: out in the city. The panels aren't gonna keep the 1756 01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:28,880 Speaker 1: lights on really under any given circumstance demonstrably failures in 1757 01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:33,000 Speaker 1: terms of reliable energy supply. So how is this building 1758 01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,639 Speaker 1: of the panel farm in any way shape or form 1759 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:37,560 Speaker 1: an emergency? 1760 01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:39,640 Speaker 2: God, yeah, I'm not sure if I brought it with me, 1761 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:45,840 Speaker 2: But the city does a lot of business by emergency. 1762 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 2: In fact, I was watching the city home a city 1763 01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,920 Speaker 2: council meeting one day online and some woman came up 1764 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 2: to claim her two minutes and she didn't even talk 1765 01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:59,160 Speaker 2: about what she came to the council for because she 1766 01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,599 Speaker 2: had seen the age to and the agenda will list 1767 01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:06,360 Speaker 2: all these emergency ordinances that they intend to, you know, 1768 01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,640 Speaker 2: deliberate or to vote on. And she was beside herself 1769 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:14,639 Speaker 2: and she thought the city was beset by emergencies. She says, 1770 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:17,880 Speaker 2: what are all these emergencies. 1771 01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,640 Speaker 1: Close to martial law declaration exactly? 1772 01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:25,200 Speaker 2: So she was she was alarmed, and it's it's unfortunate, 1773 01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,840 Speaker 2: but that's how the city does business in in in 1774 01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,360 Speaker 2: the state of Ohio, And I think this is pretty 1775 01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:35,799 Speaker 2: much universal across the country. But legislatures, legislatures are supposed 1776 01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:39,839 Speaker 2: to pass ordinances based on three readings of the ordinance. 1777 01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:43,679 Speaker 2: They they're they're supposed to read the ordinance on three 1778 01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:47,479 Speaker 2: different days before they vote on it. Well, what the 1779 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,599 Speaker 2: city does is when they want to get something passed 1780 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 2: without any you know, pushback or feedback from the from 1781 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 2: the people. 1782 01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 1: Their constituents, you mean todd Yes, they purport to represent, yes, 1783 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:00,800 Speaker 1: though we don't want to. 1784 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:05,120 Speaker 2: Hear from them those people. So they actually have to 1785 01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 2: take three votes on an emergency ordinance. They first have 1786 01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:12,520 Speaker 2: to vote to suspend the three readings. 1787 01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,519 Speaker 1: All right, I see this couple a mile away. 1788 01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:18,560 Speaker 2: So then they vote on the ordinance itself as an emergency, 1789 01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:22,080 Speaker 2: and then they have to vote to keep that emergency 1790 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:26,920 Speaker 2: clause in the bill. So, for example, I decided to 1791 01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,240 Speaker 2: go back and look at how many emergency ordinances did 1792 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:34,280 Speaker 2: the city council enact in twenty twenty five. So I 1793 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:38,639 Speaker 2: went back counted them all up. They passed four hundred 1794 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 2: and four ordinances in twenty twenty five. Three hundred and 1795 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:47,160 Speaker 2: three of them were emergency ordinances seventy five percent. And 1796 01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 2: they're supposed to state the reason, and the reason is 1797 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:54,799 Speaker 2: that the reason is some general statement about to further 1798 01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:58,479 Speaker 2: the health, safety and whatever of the community. That's all 1799 01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,120 Speaker 2: they have to do, and that's and test it in court, 1800 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,320 Speaker 2: and the court says, okay, well, we're not going to 1801 01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:06,600 Speaker 2: get involved in what the legislature decides to do and 1802 01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:11,559 Speaker 2: that type of things exactly, So the city council has 1803 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:15,200 Speaker 2: a clear runway to pass whatever they want to pass 1804 01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:20,000 Speaker 2: without any feedback. And the critical piece about emergency ordinances 1805 01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:24,719 Speaker 2: is that in the Ohio law, it cuts off any 1806 01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:29,120 Speaker 2: ability of the citizens to appeal that through a referendum. So, 1807 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,160 Speaker 2: for example, on this solar array, if that hadn't been 1808 01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 2: an emergency ordinance, we could try to get that on 1809 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:38,680 Speaker 2: the ballot for people to approve yes or no. So 1810 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,720 Speaker 2: these emergency ordinances wipe that all out. And that's what 1811 01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 2: happened with Connected Community. 1812 01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:44,719 Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say, that's what Hyde 1813 01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,360 Speaker 1: Park did. Well, I mean, they got about, they got 1814 01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:49,040 Speaker 1: something that was going to go on the back exactly. 1815 01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:51,640 Speaker 1: For some reason, they forgot to call it an emergency. 1816 01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:55,040 Speaker 2: I don't know why they didn't call it an emergency. 1817 01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:56,960 Speaker 2: I think they knew that if they had done that, 1818 01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:01,480 Speaker 2: it would have been an outrageous outcry from the people. 1819 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,439 Speaker 1: Because the residents of Hygh Park were paying attention to 1820 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:05,439 Speaker 1: what was going on in their neighborhood. 1821 01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:08,240 Speaker 2: That's right, And so there was a calculation that while 1822 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,840 Speaker 2: it's better to risk them being able to get all 1823 01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:16,240 Speaker 2: the signatures on a petition in time versus all the 1824 01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:19,320 Speaker 2: outcry that would happen if they declared an emergency. 1825 01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:21,160 Speaker 1: Or and they ignored all the outcry that they received 1826 01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:23,080 Speaker 1: when they went forward with a plan anyway. All the 1827 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,040 Speaker 1: residents showed up and complained about. 1828 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,120 Speaker 2: It, hours and hours, hours and hours of you know, 1829 01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:29,400 Speaker 2: protest by the people. 1830 01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,000 Speaker 1: So they said, well, we'll suffer through that, we'll ignore 1831 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,960 Speaker 1: the will of our constituents. We'll move forward with it anyway, 1832 01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:37,000 Speaker 1: and we'll run the risk of a ballot an initiative. 1833 01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,360 Speaker 1: But oh, come on, this is the city of Cincinnati. 1834 01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:41,080 Speaker 1: There's no way they're going to be able to collect 1835 01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:44,559 Speaker 1: enough signatures to override this. Whoops. I think they did. 1836 01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:45,759 Speaker 2: I think that's what happened. 1837 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 1: I guarantee you sure, as I'm sitting here, Todd zinzer Man, 1838 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,800 Speaker 1: I cannot thank you enough for doing this on behalf 1839 01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:53,680 Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati, and the residents take the 1840 01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:57,040 Speaker 1: laboring or all the time, all documented. If there are 1841 01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,760 Speaker 1: no documents, Todd at least goes through the process of 1842 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:03,400 Speaker 1: asking for them or appealing to at least a body 1843 01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:05,320 Speaker 1: that will be in a position to get them the 1844 01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 1: Railroad Board. Todd, you keep up the great work. You 1845 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:09,920 Speaker 1: always have a welcome spot here in the fifty five 1846 01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,599 Speaker 1: Karsee Morning Show. And thanks again for coming to lunch yesterday. 1847 01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:15,720 Speaker 1: It was fabulous. See Thank you Ato six here at 1848 01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:19,679 Speaker 1: fifty five krc DE talk station. Happy Friday Eve. Brian 1849 01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:21,840 Speaker 1: Thomas right here hosting the thirty five Carsee Morning Show. 1850 01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:24,639 Speaker 1: Always pleased to see this man on the rundown. Congressman 1851 01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,000 Speaker 1: David Taylor, Welcome back to the morning show. I appreciate 1852 01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:28,840 Speaker 1: you willingness to talk with my listeners and me. 1853 01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:32,240 Speaker 7: Thanks for having me again, Brian. Good to be with you. 1854 01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,840 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. Well, I got this shutdown, avert it 1855 01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:36,800 Speaker 1: at least for a while. I guess five of the 1856 01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,200 Speaker 1: spending bills got put through. They held off in an 1857 01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:41,720 Speaker 1: apartment of Homeland security funding because oh, I don't know, 1858 01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:45,800 Speaker 1: evil Ice or whatever. Continuing resolution I guess kicks the 1859 01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:47,600 Speaker 1: can down the road for Is it two weeks to 1860 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:49,679 Speaker 1: talk about this and hammer out the details, David? 1861 01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,800 Speaker 7: It was the day it was passing the Senate, but 1862 01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:55,920 Speaker 7: some of those days have now passed, so it's an 1863 01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:57,080 Speaker 7: even shorter runway. 1864 01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:01,120 Speaker 1: All right, So my understanding is the the Democrats claim 1865 01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:05,120 Speaker 1: that they want ICE agents to be prohibited from wearing masks, 1866 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:08,120 Speaker 1: they want ICE agents to wear cameras, and I guess 1867 01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:11,040 Speaker 1: they want some uniform standard of how law enforcement and 1868 01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:14,200 Speaker 1: engagement and law enforcement, as well as the eradication of 1869 01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:17,200 Speaker 1: these open sweeps, whatever those happened to be. Is that 1870 01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,599 Speaker 1: really it? Is it? I mean, if you hammer those out, 1871 01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,680 Speaker 1: are we done with DHS funding or are they going 1872 01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:24,760 Speaker 1: to ask for more? What is it? Which direction is 1873 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:26,000 Speaker 1: this going to go to? The best you can see 1874 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:30,439 Speaker 1: it coming forward, your Congressman Davidson, I mean Taylor, Sorry 1875 01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:31,839 Speaker 1: that was earlier. 1876 01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,320 Speaker 7: I've been called away worse things than no. 1877 01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:40,439 Speaker 1: I know, Congress, He's a man, he is a good man. 1878 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:44,720 Speaker 7: They did come out with a list of ten demands 1879 01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:49,880 Speaker 7: you may have already seen it to agree to a 1880 01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 7: DHS bill, And you'll notice that, as you mentioned, two 1881 01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:57,360 Speaker 7: of the top three are designed to further endanger ICE agents, 1882 01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,479 Speaker 7: demanding that they not be able to wear masks, that 1883 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:04,400 Speaker 7: they have the full identification visible to the people on 1884 01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:07,240 Speaker 7: the streets who are already threatening them with violence all 1885 01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:10,160 Speaker 7: the time. So a lot of the list are basically 1886 01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:14,200 Speaker 7: non starters and what what maybe the most puzzling Brian 1887 01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,840 Speaker 7: is some of the things that the Chuck Schumer at 1888 01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:24,160 Speaker 7: or was asking for. There's money in the in the 1889 01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,639 Speaker 7: in the bill that they refuse to pass for for 1890 01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:29,880 Speaker 7: body cameras, which you know, we want body cameras for them. 1891 01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:35,639 Speaker 7: The ICE agents want body cameras. There's actually operating under 1892 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,880 Speaker 7: the continuing resolution that we're under now, ICE gets six 1893 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:42,120 Speaker 7: hundred million dollars more than they will receive if we 1894 01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,479 Speaker 7: pass the bill. Uh So that doesn't make much sense 1895 01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:50,799 Speaker 7: to me either. And there's also they're worried about the 1896 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,760 Speaker 7: ICE agents maybe being heavy handed. Well, there's money for 1897 01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:57,320 Speaker 7: further de escalation training in the bill that's not in 1898 01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,200 Speaker 7: the continuing resolution, but they won't vote for the bill. 1899 01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:06,400 Speaker 7: So their motives are are certainly not as as they're 1900 01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:09,240 Speaker 7: portrayed in the media. Their motives are to protect the 1901 01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:12,920 Speaker 7: illegal immigrants they work so hard over the Biden administration 1902 01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:14,400 Speaker 7: years to import. 1903 01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:17,120 Speaker 1: Well, ironing out those problems is one thing is this 1904 01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:21,120 Speaker 1: is this are you approaching this or is Congress approaching this? 1905 01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,200 Speaker 1: DHS funding sort of is like a whole brand new 1906 01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,680 Speaker 1: time to start over. And in other words, can we 1907 01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:30,000 Speaker 1: add amendments be could for example, we add the Save 1908 01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:33,360 Speaker 1: Act into the DHS funding and get that passed. That 1909 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:36,120 Speaker 1: enjoys widespread support. I don't care what Chucky Schumer says 1910 01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:37,960 Speaker 1: that this is Jim Crow two point oh. I think 1911 01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,160 Speaker 1: that is an offensive determination, and I think it's an 1912 01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:42,679 Speaker 1: insult to all people of color and any minority. They 1913 01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,760 Speaker 1: claim are incapable of getting a driver's license even though 1914 01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,840 Speaker 1: they do it every single day in order to engage 1915 01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,200 Speaker 1: in regular commerce and industry in this country, because you 1916 01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:53,000 Speaker 1: need a photo ID to do it. Ah, sorry David Taylor, 1917 01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,639 Speaker 1: but is it possible to get that put in there 1918 01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,200 Speaker 1: or would that be like they would be a non starter. 1919 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,400 Speaker 7: It looks like it's a non starter. What the Speaker 1920 01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:06,000 Speaker 7: said today and what Leaders Soon has said on the 1921 01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,120 Speaker 7: Senate side is the negotiation is currently going on between 1922 01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:13,599 Speaker 7: Senate Democrats in the White House. The White House wants 1923 01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,840 Speaker 7: this pass. They don't want anything. They want as little 1924 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,000 Speaker 7: changed about it as possible, and the Democrats have their 1925 01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:22,240 Speaker 7: lists of demands, most of which are you know, far 1926 01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:25,720 Speaker 7: fetched and never happening. Whether their goal is just to 1927 01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:29,519 Speaker 7: hold things up again like they did last time, or 1928 01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:34,760 Speaker 7: to or what they're they're actually expected outcome is It's 1929 01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:38,120 Speaker 7: hard to say, but I think they're they're putting it 1930 01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:40,600 Speaker 7: in the President's hands for the moment to try to 1931 01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,080 Speaker 7: get the DHS built. I think the Save Act, as 1932 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,160 Speaker 7: popular as it is, is going to have to go 1933 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:49,479 Speaker 7: with a different lative legislative package or get presented on 1934 01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,559 Speaker 7: its own at some point. But like you said, I mean, 1935 01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:54,800 Speaker 7: the even on the Democrats side, the when you pull 1936 01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:57,400 Speaker 7: the public it's well over seventy percent. It's kind of 1937 01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,920 Speaker 7: like term limits. If you just had a national rest 1938 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,760 Speaker 7: random on those two issues. They both be done a 1939 01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:03,439 Speaker 7: long time ago. 1940 01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:06,519 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and that's the that's the insanity that I 1941 01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:11,280 Speaker 1: don't understand. I mean, everyone seems to be broadly in 1942 01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:14,000 Speaker 1: favor of it, and it is insulting to tell a 1943 01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:16,320 Speaker 1: person of color that we don't think you're smart enough 1944 01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:20,519 Speaker 1: to go do this. I mean, it's just any hope 1945 01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:22,880 Speaker 1: that it is advanced as an independent bill. I mean, 1946 01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 1: I know that's you know, that's a strategy discussion. You 1947 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:26,640 Speaker 1: got to deal with the Speaker of the House on 1948 01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,080 Speaker 1: advancing it. But what's the hold up. I suppose the 1949 01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:31,240 Speaker 1: American people might want to know, Congressman. 1950 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,640 Speaker 7: They rightly should want to know that. I'm hopeful that 1951 01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:39,120 Speaker 7: it is attached to the next must pass legislation that 1952 01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:42,640 Speaker 7: we're represented with, and for my money, that would have 1953 01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:45,160 Speaker 7: been a great time to do it. I'm not the president, 1954 01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:47,639 Speaker 7: I'm not the Speaker of the House. I think most 1955 01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:53,360 Speaker 7: people in the House on the Republican side absolutely want 1956 01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:55,160 Speaker 7: to You're hearing from more and more members speak it up, 1957 01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:58,160 Speaker 7: saying this has to happen. It's only right where the 1958 01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:03,440 Speaker 7: only you know, industrialized nation that doesn't require idea to vote. 1959 01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:09,200 Speaker 7: But when when Democrats electoral chances are tied to illegals 1960 01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:12,720 Speaker 7: to the degree they are, they're never going to support that. 1961 01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:15,400 Speaker 7: It's going to be we have to be done the hard. 1962 01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:17,439 Speaker 1: Way, right, Okay, And I hear and I hear people 1963 01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:20,560 Speaker 1: say that all the time. Now, state law, maybe I 1964 01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:23,320 Speaker 1: don't know, doesn't apply. Maybe illegal immigrants can vote on 1965 01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:27,320 Speaker 1: state issues, perhaps, but it is not lawful for someone 1966 01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,360 Speaker 1: who is not a US citizen to be voting in 1967 01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:34,480 Speaker 1: a federal election. Right, Congressman Taylor. 1968 01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:36,280 Speaker 7: Absolutely right. 1969 01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:41,200 Speaker 1: So that's the law of voting, that's right, that's the 1970 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:43,240 Speaker 1: law in the books. So in order to be able 1971 01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:46,760 Speaker 1: to enforce that and prevent illegal immigrants from voting in 1972 01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:52,840 Speaker 1: federal elections. Asking for a citizenship of verification seems to 1973 01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:55,240 Speaker 1: be consistent with the state of federal law. 1974 01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:00,120 Speaker 7: I agree completely with you. Know, each state has the 1975 01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,840 Speaker 7: sort of sovereignty over the election process in their state, 1976 01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:07,040 Speaker 7: and it's a little dicey where that line starts and 1977 01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:10,520 Speaker 7: ends when it comes to your federal elections. In California 1978 01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:13,080 Speaker 7: right now, the law is if the person at the 1979 01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:17,680 Speaker 7: poll asked the voter for identifications, they may be in 1980 01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:20,840 Speaker 7: legal trouble, but not the person who's voting, who probably 1981 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,360 Speaker 7: isn't properly well, and. 1982 01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:26,040 Speaker 1: I suppose to vote. That's the only vehicle by which 1983 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:29,280 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant could vote or have a sway over 1984 01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,559 Speaker 1: a federal election. If state of law allows illegal immigrants 1985 01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,720 Speaker 1: to vote on state issues, but it's a state and 1986 01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:38,560 Speaker 1: federal ballot, then seems to me that's an opportunity for 1987 01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,240 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant to vote on federal matters. 1988 01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:45,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, and most of the Blue states want that. 1989 01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:48,880 Speaker 1: You that doesn't know that's the full circle, right, I mean, 1990 01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,680 Speaker 1: just really solidifying where I am on this, because it 1991 01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:55,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't the presence of illegal immigrants, whether they're desired in 1992 01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:58,160 Speaker 1: any given community or not should not have any effect 1993 01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:00,960 Speaker 1: whatsoever on a federal election outcome period. That's just they 1994 01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:04,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't be voting on any of those topics, right And. 1995 01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:08,519 Speaker 7: Honestly, Brian, they are voting because they're getting registered when 1996 01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:11,360 Speaker 7: they give them drivers' licenses. But even if they were 1997 01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:15,760 Speaker 7: not voting, they're still impacting federal elections because they're in 1998 01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:19,160 Speaker 7: blue states and they're creating a representation that those blue 1999 01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,879 Speaker 7: states shouldn't have because of the Census counsel and citizens. 2000 01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:26,360 Speaker 7: So they're absolutely vital. You people are absolutely fleeing blue 2001 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,800 Speaker 7: states the states. So the only way to keep their 2002 01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:33,720 Speaker 7: electoral chances and their power in Congress alive is to 2003 01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:38,400 Speaker 7: bring in and retain illegal aliens. And that's why you're 2004 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,400 Speaker 7: seeing all the fraud in the blue states because giving 2005 01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:43,960 Speaker 7: them access with no consequences to all our safety net 2006 01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:48,200 Speaker 7: programs is a tremendous recruiting tool. We'reposed to come to 2007 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:48,679 Speaker 7: your state. 2008 01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:52,360 Speaker 1: Well, considering everybody with a job. Congressman Taylor has fled 2009 01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:55,479 Speaker 1: states like California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and gone 2010 01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,360 Speaker 1: to places where life is easier and regulatory burdens are 2011 01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,360 Speaker 1: smaller and taxes are lower. They're having a real battle 2012 01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:05,559 Speaker 1: competing with the illegal immigrants coming in to even replace 2013 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:09,800 Speaker 1: the population of people that left. Why they're bad that 2014 01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:11,080 Speaker 1: the borders shut down. 2015 01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:16,479 Speaker 7: Absolutely true, and you know the twenty thirty census is 2016 01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,320 Speaker 7: going to baarn that out, actually the previous census board out. 2017 01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,599 Speaker 7: But there were, you know, honest mistakes made which favored 2018 01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:26,840 Speaker 7: blue states over red states that led to excess representation 2019 01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:28,120 Speaker 7: for Debocrats. 2020 01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:30,680 Speaker 1: Again, Well, that twenty twenty five analysis that was just 2021 01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:33,639 Speaker 1: done on the predictions for the twenty thirty again goes down. 2022 01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:36,360 Speaker 1: It goes to the point being is boiled down. Democrats 2023 01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:40,080 Speaker 1: are standing to lose a lot of seats in Congress 2024 01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:43,760 Speaker 1: because of that population shift, and the electoral college now 2025 01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:46,639 Speaker 1: will favor the Republican Party regardless of how many illegal 2026 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:48,639 Speaker 1: immigrants they try to ship into their community. It seems 2027 01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:51,800 Speaker 1: like a foreground conclusion pause will bring Congressman David Taylor back. 2028 01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:55,400 Speaker 1: He'll explain what the Deporting Fraudsters Act is. Sounds like 2029 01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:58,840 Speaker 1: it's a good idea. Plus expanding broadband and appellation more 2030 01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:04,760 Speaker 1: with Congressman Taylor. Sticker fifty five the talk Station eight 2031 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 1: eighteen if above kersee the talk station i Art Media 2032 01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:09,560 Speaker 1: Aviation expert Jay Ratliff coming to the bottom of the 2033 01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:12,120 Speaker 1: eyre of the meantime, one more segment here with Congressman 2034 01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:18,920 Speaker 1: David Taylor pivoting over Deporting Fraudster's Act. Well, inflation reduction 2035 01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,320 Speaker 1: acts sounded really good on its face there, Congressman Taylor, 2036 01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,560 Speaker 1: but it didn't work out that way. What is the 2037 01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:25,519 Speaker 1: Deporting Fraudster's Act? 2038 01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:30,240 Speaker 7: Fair enough, Brian, This one is just as it's described. 2039 01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:33,880 Speaker 7: It's very simple, common sense bill. We actually submitted it 2040 01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:38,559 Speaker 7: last March. I want to thank Chairman Jordan for passing 2041 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,599 Speaker 7: it out of the Judiciary Committee and should be coming 2042 01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:44,720 Speaker 7: to the floor very soon. I mentioned that it was 2043 01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,519 Speaker 7: filed last March because in the hearing where it was 2044 01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:51,960 Speaker 7: passed out of a Judiciary committee, the Democrats for sales 2045 01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:55,360 Speaker 7: a knee jerk reaction to the fraud that we discovered 2046 01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:57,320 Speaker 7: in Minnesota. But you know, we've known that fraud has 2047 01:52:57,320 --> 01:52:58,760 Speaker 7: been going on for a long time. We're a little 2048 01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:02,879 Speaker 7: stunned at this scope of it, I think. But basically 2049 01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:07,400 Speaker 7: the bill makes receiving any federal benefits from any of 2050 01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:11,360 Speaker 7: our thinking that programs but an illegal alien a deportable offense. 2051 01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,320 Speaker 7: You will also prevent people who are convicted of doing 2052 01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:17,320 Speaker 7: so or who admit to having done so from ever 2053 01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:22,000 Speaker 7: being readmitted. So something that's basically common sense and something 2054 01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,800 Speaker 7: to share to be on the books, But sadly it's 2055 01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:27,760 Speaker 7: not so just you know, one of several bills that 2056 01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:29,840 Speaker 7: are going through from the Republican side to sort of 2057 01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:34,080 Speaker 7: close loopholes that have existed for you know, forever. 2058 01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:38,000 Speaker 1: Basically well, clearly, the level of fraud that's being revealed 2059 01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:41,040 Speaker 1: more and more every single day is just outright appalling, 2060 01:53:41,760 --> 01:53:46,800 Speaker 1: and there appears to be a it's just a it's 2061 01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:50,479 Speaker 1: an intentional, you know, system that's been created here where 2062 01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:53,120 Speaker 1: these non governmental organizations the money that flows out or 2063 01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:56,120 Speaker 1: maybe the leering centers of Minneapolis are a vehicle to 2064 01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:59,280 Speaker 1: put money back in the hands of politicians or political 2065 01:53:59,320 --> 01:54:02,080 Speaker 1: activists rather than actually doing some good in the community, 2066 01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:06,320 Speaker 1: because there's nobody following what has been done with the money. 2067 01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,240 Speaker 1: I just talked with Todd Zinzer about this going on 2068 01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:10,920 Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. Yeah, they gave money to 2069 01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,639 Speaker 1: non governmental organizations, but no one knows what the hell 2070 01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,320 Speaker 1: was done with the money. I mean, this could literally 2071 01:54:16,479 --> 01:54:20,640 Speaker 1: exist in any governmental entity, from the townships to the 2072 01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:22,960 Speaker 1: state to the federal which is obviously what's going on 2073 01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:24,400 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. 2074 01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:27,800 Speaker 7: Right and it's going on many other places too. I 2075 01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:32,839 Speaker 7: think that they have some particularly unsophisticated leadership in Minnesota 2076 01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:34,520 Speaker 7: that made it a little bit easier to find it there. 2077 01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:39,840 Speaker 7: I think between Wall and Fry got some characters up 2078 01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:41,720 Speaker 7: there that maybe not quite as sneaky as some of 2079 01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:46,360 Speaker 7: the California in New York. But it's, you know, it 2080 01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:48,720 Speaker 7: all dovetails together with what we were talking about earlier. 2081 01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 7: The Democrats spent the four years under Biden bringing in 2082 01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:54,880 Speaker 7: as many illegal aliens as they could, and they've spent 2083 01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:59,720 Speaker 7: the last year plus absolutely going to the mattresses. 2084 01:54:59,240 --> 01:54:59,840 Speaker 6: To keep them here. 2085 01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2086 01:55:00,520 --> 01:55:02,920 Speaker 7: So and this is this is as we mentioned earlier, 2087 01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:04,920 Speaker 7: this is a big recruiting tool. If you can come 2088 01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,720 Speaker 7: in and we're not going to look at the you know, 2089 01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:11,160 Speaker 7: if you're actually qualifying for these programs, just sign here 2090 01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:14,320 Speaker 7: and you know when this, as this investigation proceeds, I 2091 01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:16,280 Speaker 7: don't think any of this will be surprised to find 2092 01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:18,080 Speaker 7: out that if some of those dollars go back to 2093 01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:21,640 Speaker 7: the pockets of the Democrat leaders who are turning a blind. 2094 01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:24,800 Speaker 1: Eye to it, without question, well it's become its own industry. 2095 01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,280 Speaker 1: You create a problem, you open the borders up, gring 2096 01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:28,960 Speaker 1: every man, woman and child from the four corners of 2097 01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:32,040 Speaker 1: the globe in the United States. It taxes the local resources. 2098 01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:34,680 Speaker 1: We've got a problem on our hands here. I'm a 2099 01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:37,120 Speaker 1: non governmental organization. I'm going to help you deal with 2100 01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:39,920 Speaker 1: filling the blank problem created by the open borders. Then 2101 01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:41,720 Speaker 1: they got their hand in the cookie jar and becomes 2102 01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:44,440 Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy. They don't want to fix the problem, 2103 01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:47,040 Speaker 1: they want it to continue so they can continue drawing 2104 01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:48,600 Speaker 1: taxpayer money into their pockets. 2105 01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:51,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's been going on for a long time. 2106 01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 7: And with the essential shutdown of the USA, I d 2107 01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:59,800 Speaker 7: if the other avenues of fraud are going to ramp up. 2108 01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:01,960 Speaker 7: Is there are a lot of dollars going through there 2109 01:56:02,040 --> 01:56:06,080 Speaker 7: to those very same projects you're talking about, and they 2110 01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,320 Speaker 7: have to be have to be funded somehow, and it's 2111 01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:09,640 Speaker 7: going to be on the taxpayers back. 2112 01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:13,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's before we part company. David Taylor shining 2113 01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:16,600 Speaker 1: a bright light of sunshine on this much needed disinfecting here, 2114 01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:21,000 Speaker 1: expanding broadband and Appalaysia. I've heard this concept bandied about 2115 01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:22,960 Speaker 1: a lot over the over the years because some areas 2116 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:25,240 Speaker 1: of the country don't have the benefit of any broadband. 2117 01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:27,280 Speaker 1: What is this particular issue all about. 2118 01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:30,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, Brian, this is something we talked about from the 2119 01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,760 Speaker 7: day we started running basically for office. The big, large 2120 01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:38,520 Speaker 7: swath of the Second District in Ohio and other rural 2121 01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:42,840 Speaker 7: and Appalachian districts across the country don't have brought access 2122 01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:47,400 Speaker 7: to broadband. We have sponsored three bills to try to 2123 01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:51,200 Speaker 7: help with that. The biggest movement we've seen so far, 2124 01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:54,600 Speaker 7: and it's going to be helpful in the near future, 2125 01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:58,000 Speaker 7: is that forty two billion dollars that was allocated for 2126 01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:02,520 Speaker 7: the bad program for World Connectivity that's been sitting there 2127 01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:05,560 Speaker 7: for so long. It's because it was all dedicated just 2128 01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:08,480 Speaker 7: to fiber optic, which fiber optic is great and I 2129 01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:10,680 Speaker 7: love it, but it's very hard to get to and 2130 01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:13,760 Speaker 7: get that run in parts of the Second District, making 2131 01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:19,680 Speaker 7: those dollars usable on other alternative sources of broadband, whether 2132 01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:22,640 Speaker 7: it's satellite or sixth wireless. So there's been big advances 2133 01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,440 Speaker 7: in sixth wireless. Too. Used to be, you know, it 2134 01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:28,000 Speaker 7: was easily blocked and you had that pretty clear line 2135 01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,880 Speaker 7: of sight to use that effectively. But that's not the 2136 01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:34,320 Speaker 7: case anymore. So bottom line is, we don't want to 2137 01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:38,120 Speaker 7: wait five more years for the people of Appalachia to 2138 01:57:38,240 --> 01:57:40,280 Speaker 7: get connected to the modern economy. We want to do 2139 01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:43,400 Speaker 7: it as quickly as possible. So that's been great. And 2140 01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,480 Speaker 7: while we're on that topic, it's important that I think 2141 01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:49,320 Speaker 7: Senator Houston for the work he did for part of 2142 01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:51,480 Speaker 7: my district, a large chunk of my district while he 2143 01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:55,840 Speaker 7: was still lieutenant governor. Who's he's and he's continuing that 2144 01:57:55,960 --> 01:58:00,000 Speaker 7: work here. He's been being center Marino have been absolutely 2145 01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:00,840 Speaker 7: incredible out here. 2146 01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. You know, the LAFT never 2147 01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:07,160 Speaker 1: really seems to care much about the rural poor, because 2148 01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:10,400 Speaker 1: I suppose that's these evil flyover red states, So screw them. 2149 01:58:10,440 --> 01:58:12,560 Speaker 1: They only care about urban poor. And there's millions and 2150 01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:15,760 Speaker 1: millions of dollars flowing that are provided to urban governments 2151 01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,160 Speaker 1: and urban programs, and no one just seems to care 2152 01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:20,919 Speaker 1: about those folks out and like say rural West Virginia 2153 01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:22,520 Speaker 1: for example, Congressman. 2154 01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:25,960 Speaker 6: For sure, any of my a big chunk of my 2155 01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:29,800 Speaker 6: district borders on on West Virginia too, and they're in 2156 01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:32,720 Speaker 6: the same situation we're in in Kentucky. As well, and 2157 01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:35,240 Speaker 6: it's an out of sight, out of mind saying. And 2158 01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,920 Speaker 6: they're the kind of people that don't complain. They were 2159 01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:39,920 Speaker 6: the kind of people call them to make do, people 2160 01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,720 Speaker 6: that make do with whatever they got, and they don't. 2161 01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:45,920 Speaker 6: They don't complain. But I'm going to complain for them 2162 01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:47,960 Speaker 6: a peero, try to get them least on equal. 2163 01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:51,960 Speaker 1: Footing, understood, understood. And because it benefits those rural poor, 2164 01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:54,080 Speaker 1: it's not going to benefit the Democrat Party, So I 2165 01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,400 Speaker 1: have a feeling they'll be against it, even though they 2166 01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:58,600 Speaker 1: could just sort of recharacterize it and they'd be all 2167 01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:01,160 Speaker 1: about providing this type of service to the extent of 2168 01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:05,080 Speaker 1: benefit of Democrat voters. Congressman David Taylor, it's a real 2169 01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:07,840 Speaker 1: pleasure having you on. I appreciate your your again, your 2170 01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:09,920 Speaker 1: willingness to show up and talk about these issues very 2171 01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:12,680 Speaker 1: important to my listeners, and I'm glad to be able 2172 01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:14,320 Speaker 1: to help you spread the word on it.

And 2197 02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:26,760 Speaker 8: I said, yeah, She goes, I'm going to recognize your voice. 2198 02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:30,400 Speaker 8: So yeah, you can't get away with stuff where we're at. 2199 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:32,040 Speaker 8: I'm I'm glad. It was a good day for me. 2200 02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:35,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, amen, brother, all right. The fastest growing airline 2201 02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:39,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. Drum roll, Maestro Jay Ratliffe. 2202 02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:43,360 Speaker 8: Up forty one percent. We have him in Cincinnati. It's 2203 02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:47,920 Speaker 8: Breeze Airways. Breeze Breeze yep. They started operations in twenty 2204 02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:51,440 Speaker 8: twenty one, low cost carrier bringing in brand new airplanes. 2205 02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:55,640 Speaker 8: They started their operation at the beginning at twenty twenty one. 2206 02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:58,040 Speaker 8: They joined US three years ago. I think it was 2207 02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:01,919 Speaker 8: February of three years ago, and since then they've continue 2208 02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:06,000 Speaker 8: to expand their network. They've added international service and based 2209 02:01:06,120 --> 02:01:10,680 Speaker 8: on the scheduled service from Aviation Analytics from last year 2210 02:01:10,760 --> 02:01:13,520 Speaker 8: to this year, they're operating forty one percent more flights 2211 02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:17,240 Speaker 8: now in early twenty twenty six that they did last year. 2212 02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:20,960 Speaker 8: And again, they started Cincinnati three years ago, they've grown since. 2213 02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:25,280 Speaker 8: They now provide service to five cities. I think it's Charleston, 2214 02:01:25,400 --> 02:01:28,200 Speaker 8: San Francisco, and then we get seasonal service to Hartford, 2215 02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:30,760 Speaker 8: Providence and one of my all time favorites at San Diego. 2216 02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:34,680 Speaker 8: And the man that started this airline started jet Blue, 2217 02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:38,040 Speaker 8: which we've heard of, also started west Jet, the low 2218 02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:42,200 Speaker 8: cost carrier in Canada. And I think one of his 2219 02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:44,520 Speaker 8: kids may go to school somewhere in the Dayton area, 2220 02:01:44,600 --> 02:01:48,560 Speaker 8: but in college. But they are constantly growing. And I 2221 02:01:48,680 --> 02:01:51,480 Speaker 8: hear from so many people across the country that said, 2222 02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:54,000 Speaker 8: my wife made a reservation on some airline. I've never 2223 02:01:54,080 --> 02:01:56,560 Speaker 8: heard of breeze. What do you think. I said, well, look, 2224 02:01:56,880 --> 02:02:00,160 Speaker 8: I've got nothing but high marks to say, but go 2225 02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:01,760 Speaker 8: back to me after your trip and let me know. 2226 02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:04,680 Speaker 8: And I hear from people constantly saying, oh my gosh, 2227 02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:07,200 Speaker 8: we had a great time. They treated us great, the 2228 02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:09,920 Speaker 8: fairs were great, and I wish everybody else could be 2229 02:02:10,080 --> 02:02:12,160 Speaker 8: like this. So yeah, I'm thrilled that we've got them 2230 02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:13,720 Speaker 8: in Cincinnati and that they continue to. 2231 02:02:13,720 --> 02:02:16,320 Speaker 1: Grow well, and growth means maybe adding more cities. And 2232 02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:17,960 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just kind of puzzling over that was 2233 02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:22,360 Speaker 1: a pretty random disparate number of a selection of cities. 2234 02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:24,440 Speaker 1: I guess I don't need to get getting the weeds 2235 02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:25,920 Speaker 1: on it, but it seems like a weird how do 2236 02:02:25,960 --> 02:02:28,120 Speaker 1: they arrive at those cities as opposed to some of 2237 02:02:28,160 --> 02:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the other ones that we might think of. 2238 02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:33,960 Speaker 8: The analytics that they go through, or they determined where 2239 02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:36,840 Speaker 8: are people flying to out of this market. And I 2240 02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:39,080 Speaker 8: can tell you all the different stops that I had 2241 02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:43,879 Speaker 8: in the airline industry. If I was in a specific 2242 02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:45,560 Speaker 8: city and there was a lot of people that were 2243 02:02:45,600 --> 02:02:49,240 Speaker 8: flying from our city through a connection city to let's say, 2244 02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:52,040 Speaker 8: you know, Boston, the airline said, well, if we got 2245 02:02:52,080 --> 02:02:54,840 Speaker 8: that many people, what if we did a NonStop from 2246 02:02:54,840 --> 02:02:57,080 Speaker 8: that city to Boston versus everybody being forced to go 2247 02:02:57,160 --> 02:03:00,400 Speaker 8: through Atlanta or whatever the city it was happened to be. 2248 02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:03,120 Speaker 8: And they will put that service in after they've done 2249 02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:07,120 Speaker 8: an extensive survey, and if the market supports it. Instead 2250 02:03:07,120 --> 02:03:09,320 Speaker 8: of one flight today, they may give them two flights today. 2251 02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:11,520 Speaker 8: It was a lot like when comm Air was here. 2252 02:03:11,920 --> 02:03:16,360 Speaker 8: They decided to run a flight to Manchester and they thought, well, 2253 02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:19,920 Speaker 8: it's thirty minutes or whatever it is from Boston, so 2254 02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:23,040 Speaker 8: let's try it. And it was so well received. I 2255 02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:24,640 Speaker 8: think at the peak there might have been five or 2256 02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:27,920 Speaker 8: six flights a day back and forth between Cincinnati and 2257 02:03:29,280 --> 02:03:31,360 Speaker 8: there and back. And you know, when you look at it, 2258 02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:34,280 Speaker 8: it was great to see because all they're doing is 2259 02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:37,000 Speaker 8: providing service to where people want to fly. And that's 2260 02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:40,080 Speaker 8: what Breeze and other carriers are doing. Likewise, if they 2261 02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:43,880 Speaker 8: start to see the services a little bit soft, airlines 2262 02:03:43,920 --> 02:03:46,440 Speaker 8: will cancel some of their flights or they will use 2263 02:03:46,520 --> 02:03:49,520 Speaker 8: smaller airplanes to do so. So that's one of the 2264 02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:51,480 Speaker 8: things that they're always looking at it saying, look, if 2265 02:03:51,480 --> 02:03:53,520 Speaker 8: we're flying too big of an airplane, let's put a 2266 02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:55,960 Speaker 8: smaller airplane in there so we can maintain the service. 2267 02:03:56,200 --> 02:03:59,000 Speaker 8: Or it's dropped off so much that instead of four 2268 02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:00,920 Speaker 8: flights a day, let's go with three flights or two 2269 02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:04,160 Speaker 8: flights today. And you know that's we've seen delta in 2270 02:04:04,200 --> 02:04:06,760 Speaker 8: American I think United also do that here, giving us 2271 02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:10,880 Speaker 8: bigger airplanes in some markets because the demand continues to 2272 02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:12,600 Speaker 8: increase and they want to respond to that. 2273 02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:15,120 Speaker 1: Fair enough, we'll pause, bring Jay rylif back. Que a 2274 02:04:15,120 --> 02:04:16,960 Speaker 1: few different topics to talk with Jay about, as is 2275 02:04:17,000 --> 02:04:19,920 Speaker 1: always the case, including sounds like a stack of stupid 2276 02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:24,280 Speaker 1: story from a Friday intoxicated passenger removing his clothes during 2277 02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:26,000 Speaker 1: a flight.

Jay? 2286 02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:56,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah. What they're saying is that they've they've seen 2287 02:04:56,520 --> 02:05:01,800 Speaker 8: reports of issues with the fuel control switch, so because 2288 02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:04,840 Speaker 8: they're saying it to defect, but really what we're looking 2289 02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,880 Speaker 8: at is the possibility of a problem. So they're airing 2290 02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:10,200 Speaker 8: on the side of caution and they have grounded their 2291 02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:13,280 Speaker 8: fleet of I think thirty eight of these Boeing seven 2292 02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:16,640 Speaker 8: eighty seven Dreamliners. So Boeing and the FAA are looking 2293 02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:19,080 Speaker 8: into this to see if there's any reports or any 2294 02:05:19,160 --> 02:05:23,480 Speaker 8: issues that would support the need for advising other airlines 2295 02:05:23,520 --> 02:05:25,839 Speaker 8: of the countries around the world that would be operating. 2296 02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:28,360 Speaker 8: I think we've got just over eleven hundred of these 2297 02:05:28,360 --> 02:05:31,640 Speaker 8: airplanes that are flying right now around the world, so 2298 02:05:32,040 --> 02:05:34,520 Speaker 8: if there is an issue there, we'll look at it. 2299 02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:36,920 Speaker 8: Of course, Air India had that horrific crash last year 2300 02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:41,120 Speaker 8: where one of the crew members apparently turned off the 2301 02:05:41,320 --> 02:05:45,600 Speaker 8: fuel that caused it to crash. So I don't know 2302 02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,600 Speaker 8: if this is something where that I don't know. I mean, 2303 02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:51,360 Speaker 8: you look at it legally, you look at it operationally, 2304 02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:54,040 Speaker 8: and there's a lot of questions that swirl. But at 2305 02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,840 Speaker 8: this point in time, no other airlines have reported this, 2306 02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:58,560 Speaker 8: so I mean, obviously we'll keep an eye on it 2307 02:05:58,600 --> 02:05:59,280 Speaker 8: and see where it goes. 2308 02:05:59,400 --> 02:06:03,520 Speaker 1: Well, it's like a I suppose the FAA is sort 2309 02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:05,840 Speaker 1: of in a position of like a car manufacturer. They 2310 02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:08,760 Speaker 1: determined whether there's going to be a recall or like 2311 02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:11,200 Speaker 1: issue a technical service bulletin kind of thing. 2312 02:06:12,360 --> 02:06:12,560 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2313 02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:15,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, And the way it works is we had a 2314 02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:19,560 Speaker 8: Southwest Airlines flight that had an uncontrolled engine failure where 2315 02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:22,600 Speaker 8: the engine just kind of fell, came apart in flight 2316 02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:26,720 Speaker 8: and actually pierced the side of the aircraft and forced 2317 02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:31,600 Speaker 8: an emergency landing in Pensacola. And when the NTSB did 2318 02:06:31,680 --> 02:06:34,680 Speaker 8: their their work, which is again they're the all star team, 2319 02:06:34,720 --> 02:06:38,320 Speaker 8: they said, oops, part of this engines is reaching a 2320 02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:41,440 Speaker 8: point of fatigue faster than we thought. So the NTSB 2321 02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:45,360 Speaker 8: told the FAA our recommendation has had these engines inspected immediately. 2322 02:06:46,120 --> 02:06:48,840 Speaker 8: So that's what the FAA can or cannot do, and 2323 02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:53,880 Speaker 8: instead they looked at the airlines and said, well, maybe 2324 02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:56,000 Speaker 8: we can recommend that you do it, but we're not 2325 02:06:56,080 --> 02:06:58,960 Speaker 8: going to mandate it. It's totally up to you. Even 2326 02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,600 Speaker 8: when the indiine engine manufacturer came along and said, wait 2327 02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:04,280 Speaker 8: a minute, we also agree with the NTSB, these need 2328 02:07:04,360 --> 02:07:08,640 Speaker 8: to be inspected. Now, the FAA again said we're going 2329 02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:11,280 Speaker 8: to leave it up to the airlines. Eighteen months later, 2330 02:07:11,400 --> 02:07:14,080 Speaker 8: the same thing happened over Pennsylvania and a passenger was killed. 2331 02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:17,400 Speaker 8: So a lot of times I grow really frustrated with 2332 02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,840 Speaker 8: the FAA. I'm not saying yielding to the pressure of 2333 02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:23,640 Speaker 8: the airline lobbying group, because there was a great deal 2334 02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:28,920 Speaker 8: of cost associated with those engine inspections, but sometimes they're 2335 02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,120 Speaker 8: kind of slow, and sometimes there needs to be an 2336 02:07:31,120 --> 02:07:33,640 Speaker 8: accident or a near accident before we do things that 2337 02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:35,920 Speaker 8: need to be done, which again shouldn't be the case, 2338 02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:39,760 Speaker 8: but history shows that, sadly, that tends to be what happens. 2339 02:07:40,160 --> 02:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Oh gee, and here's the Federal Aviation Emission agreeing with 2340 02:07:44,000 --> 02:07:47,360 Speaker 1: the NTSB that, woops, we screwed up our decision to 2341 02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:50,320 Speaker 1: allow helicopter routes to operate near a runway at Reagan 2342 02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:55,920 Speaker 1: National Airport was a really stupid idea. Whoops, sorry, are bad? 2343 02:07:56,160 --> 02:07:59,760 Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, it's sad to see that, especially when you 2344 02:07:59,840 --> 02:08:03,839 Speaker 8: have so many indications of possible problems where it's obvious 2345 02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:07,720 Speaker 8: something's up, something's going wrong, and it's a matter of 2346 02:08:07,800 --> 02:08:10,240 Speaker 8: how many near missus do we need to have in 2347 02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:13,240 Speaker 8: the thousands and thousands and thousands before somebody says, you know, 2348 02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:17,920 Speaker 8: we're on borrowed time here. But you know, sometimes logistically 2349 02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:21,200 Speaker 8: from an operational standpoint, there is sometimes only so much 2350 02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:24,840 Speaker 8: you can do, but there's always options. You can either 2351 02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:27,240 Speaker 8: throttle back on the number of flights going through an area, 2352 02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:31,080 Speaker 8: or you can change certain arrival departure patterns, or in 2353 02:08:31,160 --> 02:08:34,440 Speaker 8: that case, stop the military flights from going across the 2354 02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:37,560 Speaker 8: river there like they were doing both in training and transportation. 2355 02:08:38,200 --> 02:08:41,080 Speaker 8: And it was a very very slow process, which again 2356 02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:44,000 Speaker 8: we had to have the crash before the focus was 2357 02:08:44,080 --> 02:08:47,120 Speaker 8: on there. And now the FA is looking at creating 2358 02:08:47,200 --> 02:08:51,080 Speaker 8: a separate safety board that is going to look at 2359 02:08:51,200 --> 02:08:54,400 Speaker 8: specific things to you know, kind of speed things along. 2360 02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:57,960 Speaker 8: Now I would have thought just making the FAA better 2361 02:08:58,360 --> 02:09:00,560 Speaker 8: at what they did, if they needed moreactors or what 2362 02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:03,520 Speaker 8: have you would have been the fix. But to have 2363 02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:07,800 Speaker 8: a separate entity there, I'm not really sure of at 2364 02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:09,880 Speaker 8: this point in time. But we'll see where it goes, 2365 02:09:09,880 --> 02:09:11,800 Speaker 8: because I don't know. It's a lot like having those 2366 02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:15,600 Speaker 8: committee meetings we've talked about where there were working on it, folks. 2367 02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:19,680 Speaker 8: We've got that committee that's going to be looking into it, 2368 02:09:19,720 --> 02:09:21,879 Speaker 8: blah blah. I mean, it's just it's it sounds political. 2369 02:09:22,600 --> 02:09:25,120 Speaker 1: It does sounds like just adding another layer of governments 2370 02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:27,080 Speaker 1: to make it look like they're doing something, and ultimately 2371 02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:28,760 Speaker 1: it's status quo. 2372 02:09:28,720 --> 02:09:31,920 Speaker 8: Which is what which was exactly how the TSA was born, 2373 02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:35,000 Speaker 8: because nine to eleven was not a process or a 2374 02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:38,640 Speaker 8: result of a lack of security. It was the protocol 2375 02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:41,240 Speaker 8: at the time. But to make people feel like we 2376 02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:44,480 Speaker 8: were addressing it, attacking it, we created an entire new 2377 02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:49,160 Speaker 8: government body that's got fifty thousand plus new federal employees. 2378 02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:53,520 Speaker 8: When George Bush did that as president, I thought, I understand, 2379 02:09:53,600 --> 02:09:55,880 Speaker 8: we need to act like we're doing something, but I 2380 02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:58,320 Speaker 8: don't think this is it. And I still, you know, 2381 02:09:58,760 --> 02:10:01,200 Speaker 8: I still agree that that wasn't the step to take. 2382 02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:03,720 Speaker 1: Hey, then, brother, all right, let's move over to the 2383 02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:06,840 Speaker 1: intoxicated passenger. I love these types of stories Jay makes up. 2384 02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,360 Speaker 1: He stack the stupid most notably on Friday. And since 2385 02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:12,960 Speaker 1: it involves naked guy, yeah it was. 2386 02:10:13,080 --> 02:10:16,120 Speaker 8: In fact, the passengers on board called this a thrilling situation, 2387 02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:19,000 Speaker 8: so I guess it was fun to watch. But it 2388 02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:21,880 Speaker 8: was during an Air Asia flight Vietnam to Thailand. You 2389 02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:24,600 Speaker 8: got a guy on board that starts to get agitated, 2390 02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:26,560 Speaker 8: and he starts walking up down the aisle saying he 2391 02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:28,800 Speaker 8: wants off the airplane. Yeah, no problem, and it's not 2392 02:10:28,840 --> 02:10:30,480 Speaker 8: like he can pull over to the curb and let 2393 02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:33,120 Speaker 8: him step out. But he gets into this fit and 2394 02:10:33,160 --> 02:10:34,880 Speaker 8: he starts tearing off his clothes all the way down 2395 02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:38,360 Speaker 8: to his underwear, and they finally got the guy subdued 2396 02:10:38,480 --> 02:10:41,240 Speaker 8: enough where he would sit. The plane lands, he jumps 2397 02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:43,680 Speaker 8: up and runs out the front door, and instead of 2398 02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:46,200 Speaker 8: going down the jet bridge into the airport, he busts 2399 02:10:46,200 --> 02:10:48,760 Speaker 8: through the door and goes down the steps to the ramp. 2400 02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:51,960 Speaker 8: Now he's thinking nobody's watching him and nobody can see him, 2401 02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,840 Speaker 8: so he jumps under a truck, a fuel truck, like 2402 02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:57,040 Speaker 8: nobody's gonna see him, and I'm sure his legs were 2403 02:10:57,080 --> 02:10:59,560 Speaker 8: hanging out too, so it's not like nobody's not going 2404 02:10:59,640 --> 02:11:02,400 Speaker 8: to see hm. The police were quickly there, obviously and 2405 02:11:02,440 --> 02:11:06,160 Speaker 8: got him arrested. Alcohol was certainly involved, I think in 2406 02:11:06,280 --> 02:11:09,560 Speaker 8: excess here. But he's he's arrested and we'll see where 2407 02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:12,280 Speaker 8: it goes from there. But the passengers on board, did 2408 02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:13,440 Speaker 8: they once feel threatened? 2409 02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:13,600 Speaker 7: No. 2410 02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:16,440 Speaker 8: The word they kept using was it was thrilling. So 2411 02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:18,400 Speaker 8: I guess he was on board entertainment. I don't know. 2412 02:11:19,200 --> 02:11:23,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's the circus sideshow of life. Jay Ratlift, We'll pause, 2413 02:11:23,240 --> 02:11:23,880 Speaker 1: will bring Jay back. 2414 02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:26,800 Speaker 8: It's like, yeah, it's like the woman in Fort Lauderdale 2415 02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:29,360 Speaker 8: years ago was walking through the airport slowly taking off 2416 02:11:29,400 --> 02:11:32,160 Speaker 8: her clothes every fifteen twenty steps. A lot of men 2417 02:11:32,240 --> 02:11:33,520 Speaker 8: consider that thrilling as well. 2418 02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,960 Speaker 1: Maybe even some women don't. Away, we have a couple 2419 02:11:37,960 --> 02:11:39,880 Speaker 1: more topics go and of course get a hub delay, 2420 02:11:40,280 --> 02:11:41,960 Speaker 1: as we always do at the end of the segment 2421 02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:48,400 Speaker 1: with Jay Ratlift. One more stick around fifty five KRC Men, Trump, Hey, 2422 02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:51,640 Speaker 1: forty eight Happy Friday Eve tomorrow on the fifty five 2423 02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:55,280 Speaker 1: KRC Morning show Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and Congressman 2424 02:11:55,360 --> 02:11:59,000 Speaker 1: Warren Davidson returns tomorrow. I accidently called Congressman Taylor Congressman 2425 02:11:59,040 --> 02:12:01,680 Speaker 1: Davidson earlier. He didn't mind that that was actually a compliment. 2426 02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:04,160 Speaker 1: But that's tomorrow and today we are talking as we 2427 02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:07,000 Speaker 1: always close out the show three segments with iHeartMedia aviation 2428 02:12:07,120 --> 02:12:12,520 Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratlos. The new mandate not two hours of 2429 02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:16,720 Speaker 1: cockpit recording, but twenty five hours, which sounds we're talking 2430 02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:19,280 Speaker 1: about the cockpit flight recording, Jay. 2431 02:12:19,280 --> 02:12:22,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, one of the two block boxes is the cockpit 2432 02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:26,040 Speaker 8: voice recorder of the CBR, and it's on a loop 2433 02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:29,760 Speaker 8: of two hours, and the National Transportation Safety Board for 2434 02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:33,440 Speaker 8: a number of years has told the FAA, look, we 2435 02:12:33,600 --> 02:12:35,760 Speaker 8: need more than two hours when we're doing an investigation 2436 02:12:35,800 --> 02:12:40,440 Speaker 8: because sometimes we need more because of what's going on 2437 02:12:40,600 --> 02:12:44,480 Speaker 8: during the flight, and having a short two hour loop 2438 02:12:44,880 --> 02:12:47,280 Speaker 8: is just not enough, and they wanted something twenty five 2439 02:12:47,360 --> 02:12:50,400 Speaker 8: hours or so. So it finally got to the point 2440 02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,960 Speaker 8: after I think the NTSB has been asking for this 2441 02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:56,160 Speaker 8: since twenty eighteen, and it was last Friday that the 2442 02:12:56,200 --> 02:12:58,840 Speaker 8: Fighter Aviation Administration said, Okay, we are going to now 2443 02:12:59,240 --> 02:13:02,560 Speaker 8: finalize our rule to require cockpit voice recorders to retain 2444 02:13:02,680 --> 02:13:06,360 Speaker 8: twenty five hours of data for all passenger planes. I 2445 02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:09,840 Speaker 8: believe beginning next year in twenty twenty seven, and they're 2446 02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:11,800 Speaker 8: going to replace that with that two hour loop. This 2447 02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:15,960 Speaker 8: is already being done in Europe where airlines or airplanes 2448 02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:19,480 Speaker 8: are designed to collect that twenty five hours of the 2449 02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:21,840 Speaker 8: voice recordings. They've been doing that for three or four years, 2450 02:13:22,560 --> 02:13:24,920 Speaker 8: maybe five at this point in time. So I'm really 2451 02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:28,120 Speaker 8: pleased that the FA's taking this needed step because all 2452 02:13:28,160 --> 02:13:31,560 Speaker 8: it's going to do is make it easier for them 2453 02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:34,480 Speaker 8: to do their job. And again, they're the all star team. 2454 02:13:34,520 --> 02:13:36,920 Speaker 8: Anytime we've got an accident or near accident, that's the 2455 02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:40,320 Speaker 8: team that's dispatched to investigate it. They learn a lot, 2456 02:13:40,480 --> 02:13:42,520 Speaker 8: and then they turn those findings over to the FAA, 2457 02:13:42,640 --> 02:13:45,920 Speaker 8: who can, if they so choose, implement some of the 2458 02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:49,280 Speaker 8: changes that have been recommended after the investigations concluded. 2459 02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:52,160 Speaker 1: Well, I can only imagine the two hour requirement was 2460 02:13:52,200 --> 02:13:54,520 Speaker 1: back in the days when maybe data storage was really 2461 02:13:54,600 --> 02:13:57,480 Speaker 1: expensive or something, but in these modern times, I mean 2462 02:13:58,640 --> 02:13:59,240 Speaker 1: data storage. 2463 02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:04,600 Speaker 8: Also, you look at how aviation was thirty forty fifty 2464 02:14:04,640 --> 02:14:08,200 Speaker 8: years ago too. Our loops were fine because what ended 2465 02:14:08,240 --> 02:14:10,480 Speaker 8: up taking place is most of the time the flights 2466 02:14:10,520 --> 02:14:13,840 Speaker 8: were short segments where most of the flights were at 2467 02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:16,680 Speaker 8: under two hours, because you know, before the days of 2468 02:14:17,400 --> 02:14:20,600 Speaker 8: the hub and spoke distribution, you'd have a flight from 2469 02:14:20,680 --> 02:14:23,040 Speaker 8: Cincinnati to the West coast. It might make three stops 2470 02:14:23,080 --> 02:14:25,760 Speaker 8: or four stops. It was still a direct flight. It 2471 02:14:25,880 --> 02:14:28,720 Speaker 8: was not NonStop to the ultimate destination, but it would 2472 02:14:28,760 --> 02:14:31,400 Speaker 8: make several stops in between. So you know, two hours 2473 02:14:31,720 --> 02:14:36,480 Speaker 8: was something that was okay. Pilots haven't been incredibly excited 2474 02:14:36,480 --> 02:14:39,040 Speaker 8: about that because they feel like the airlines could use 2475 02:14:39,200 --> 02:14:41,720 Speaker 8: that if they wanted to try to get rid of 2476 02:14:41,800 --> 02:14:44,480 Speaker 8: somebody that's making a lot of money under some little 2477 02:14:44,840 --> 02:14:48,160 Speaker 8: technicality of some kind. So there's concern on their part. 2478 02:14:48,240 --> 02:14:50,880 Speaker 8: But again, the FAA is moving forward with this and 2479 02:14:51,080 --> 02:14:52,160 Speaker 8: I'm very pleased. 2480 02:14:51,880 --> 02:14:53,960 Speaker 1: To see it, and the FAA is on the job 2481 02:14:54,040 --> 02:14:56,000 Speaker 1: looking into a close call this one at the San 2482 02:14:56,040 --> 02:14:58,320 Speaker 1: Antonio Airport. What's the story behind this one? Jay? 2483 02:14:58,840 --> 02:15:02,400 Speaker 8: We had a sound off West flight that was cleared 2484 02:15:02,440 --> 02:15:08,040 Speaker 8: for takeoff and it started rolling down the runway increasing speed. 2485 02:15:08,480 --> 02:15:11,320 Speaker 8: But then we had a small, smaller aircraft General Aviation 2486 02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:13,720 Speaker 8: at the other end of the runway that took a 2487 02:15:13,840 --> 02:15:17,240 Speaker 8: wrong turn onto that active runway and was actually turned 2488 02:15:17,800 --> 02:15:22,160 Speaker 8: and taxing somewhat slowly. Towards the Southwest plane, so we've 2489 02:15:22,160 --> 02:15:25,040 Speaker 8: got two planes pointed at each other. An air traffic 2490 02:15:25,120 --> 02:15:29,520 Speaker 8: controller spotted this smaller airplane and immediately ordered Southwest to 2491 02:15:29,640 --> 02:15:32,880 Speaker 8: cancel their takeoff, and I mean the voice on the 2492 02:15:32,880 --> 02:15:37,040 Speaker 8: air traffic control tape. He was definitely trying to get 2493 02:15:37,120 --> 02:15:40,240 Speaker 8: Southwest's attention to try to stop their takeoff. They did. 2494 02:15:40,800 --> 02:15:43,000 Speaker 8: The two aircraft didn't come any closer than I think 2495 02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:46,040 Speaker 8: about two thousand feet, but still, when you've got one 2496 02:15:46,120 --> 02:15:48,440 Speaker 8: accelerating to more than one hundred and fifty miles an hour, 2497 02:15:48,560 --> 02:15:53,400 Speaker 8: that distance can be closed rapidly. So the FAA will 2498 02:15:53,440 --> 02:15:55,920 Speaker 8: be having a conversation, I am sure, with the pilot 2499 02:15:56,000 --> 02:15:58,960 Speaker 8: of that smaller aircraft. But this is just another one 2500 02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:02,880 Speaker 8: of these incidents, and they happen not frequently, well, they do, 2501 02:16:03,480 --> 02:16:06,680 Speaker 8: but the air traffic controllers do such a good job 2502 02:16:07,160 --> 02:16:09,800 Speaker 8: of making sure that if there's any ground equipment or 2503 02:16:09,840 --> 02:16:12,800 Speaker 8: any aircraft where it shouldn't be, they'll tell airplanes to 2504 02:16:12,840 --> 02:16:16,960 Speaker 8: go around to stop their taxi or take off. And 2505 02:16:17,120 --> 02:16:20,640 Speaker 8: even though they're understaffed, they do an incredible, incredible job, 2506 02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:23,200 Speaker 8: and that's one of the reasons I'm still very very 2507 02:16:23,320 --> 02:16:25,880 Speaker 8: pleased that President Trump has made it early in his 2508 02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:30,080 Speaker 8: administration a priority to fix that, to get the thousands 2509 02:16:30,120 --> 02:16:33,400 Speaker 8: and thousands of air traffic controllers that we need hired 2510 02:16:33,600 --> 02:16:36,200 Speaker 8: or trained quickly, so that in the next four or 2511 02:16:36,240 --> 02:16:38,600 Speaker 8: five years, because that's how long it takes to train everybody, 2512 02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:41,160 Speaker 8: get them back on the job. So these men and 2513 02:16:41,240 --> 02:16:44,320 Speaker 8: women don't have to work six seven hour or day 2514 02:16:44,400 --> 02:16:46,680 Speaker 8: work weeks. They can actually have a day off or 2515 02:16:46,840 --> 02:16:49,520 Speaker 8: oh my gosh, gas a weekend off. Yeah, and not 2516 02:16:49,640 --> 02:16:51,480 Speaker 8: be as exhausted as these people. 2517 02:16:51,280 --> 02:16:55,000 Speaker 1: Are right now, no question about it. That's a stressful job, 2518 02:16:55,160 --> 02:16:57,960 Speaker 1: as I think you certainly know that, all right. And 2519 02:16:58,080 --> 02:17:01,880 Speaker 1: before we get the hub delays, we have well, idiots 2520 02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:06,400 Speaker 1: doing idiot things because they're idiots, apparently, Jay, another laser incident. 2521 02:17:07,080 --> 02:17:10,959 Speaker 8: Yeah, Charlotte American Airlines thirty one fourteen final approach, when 2522 02:17:11,040 --> 02:17:14,039 Speaker 8: someone on the ground pointed one of these powerful handheld 2523 02:17:14,120 --> 02:17:16,440 Speaker 8: lasers at the plane. And you know, I've talked about 2524 02:17:16,440 --> 02:17:19,720 Speaker 8: it before. These lasers can actually cause temporary blindness to 2525 02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:22,360 Speaker 8: a flight crew because it hits the cockpit ceiling and 2526 02:17:22,440 --> 02:17:26,640 Speaker 8: it illuminates it to such an extent that they lose 2527 02:17:27,280 --> 02:17:29,800 Speaker 8: their site. In fact, we've had some pilots that had 2528 02:17:29,840 --> 02:17:33,480 Speaker 8: to retire because they've lost vision in an eye because 2529 02:17:33,520 --> 02:17:37,120 Speaker 8: of these laser attacks. The last year that we've seen 2530 02:17:37,320 --> 02:17:39,520 Speaker 8: a full year of report, I think was twenty twenty four. 2531 02:17:40,040 --> 02:17:43,080 Speaker 8: The FA had ten nine and ninety three of these 2532 02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:46,560 Speaker 8: laser strikes that were reported. And look, if you get 2533 02:17:46,640 --> 02:17:48,400 Speaker 8: caught with this, ye're talking about the thirty two thousand 2534 02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:51,240 Speaker 8: dollars minimum fine can reach up to two hundred and 2535 02:17:51,280 --> 02:17:53,680 Speaker 8: fifty thousand dollars and he can go to prison for 2536 02:17:53,840 --> 02:17:58,400 Speaker 8: five years. So it's stupid and sadly we don't catch 2537 02:17:58,640 --> 02:18:01,400 Speaker 8: enough of these people because once the aircraft is hit, 2538 02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:04,119 Speaker 8: as they're you know, at that critical moment of flight, 2539 02:18:04,280 --> 02:18:06,720 Speaker 8: take off the landing, for them to have to relay 2540 02:18:06,760 --> 02:18:10,080 Speaker 8: air air traffic controller where the idiot is. At many 2541 02:18:10,160 --> 02:18:12,400 Speaker 8: times it's you know, half a mile or a mile 2542 02:18:12,480 --> 02:18:14,560 Speaker 8: behind him at that point in time, and to give 2543 02:18:14,560 --> 02:18:17,480 Speaker 8: an exact location is very difficult. Now, we did have 2544 02:18:17,600 --> 02:18:20,800 Speaker 8: one of these people that experienced karma when he pointed 2545 02:18:20,840 --> 02:18:23,080 Speaker 8: one of these at a helicopter that was a sheriff's 2546 02:18:23,120 --> 02:18:25,880 Speaker 8: helicopter and they chased him down and got him, and 2547 02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:27,640 Speaker 8: I was glad for that. But if you ever see 2548 02:18:27,680 --> 02:18:31,160 Speaker 8: somebody that's acting in this kind of manner, please stopped him, 2549 02:18:31,160 --> 02:18:33,879 Speaker 8: because they're putting people's lives at risk when they're like, ooh, 2550 02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:35,760 Speaker 8: I wonder if I can you know, paint this airplane 2551 02:18:35,760 --> 02:18:38,840 Speaker 8: that's flying over because it can actually blind the pilots 2552 02:18:38,879 --> 02:18:40,840 Speaker 8: and cause a crash that could actually kill people. 2553 02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:45,440 Speaker 1: Anyhow, I don't understand people's actions some days. 2554 02:18:45,560 --> 02:18:48,240 Speaker 8: Finally, alcohols involved in Alcohol is involved. 2555 02:18:47,959 --> 02:18:49,039 Speaker 6: In some of those, my friends. 2556 02:18:49,520 --> 02:18:52,320 Speaker 1: You're right, yes, And finally, we always part company on 2557 02:18:52,360 --> 02:18:53,959 Speaker 1: hub delays. How's looking out there for air. 2558 02:18:53,879 --> 02:18:58,600 Speaker 8: Traveled y Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, Orlando weather delays. Was snow 2559 02:18:58,640 --> 02:19:00,360 Speaker 8: in the north and a lot of rain through the south. 2560 02:19:00,800 --> 02:19:03,120 Speaker 8: That's going to give us some weather related delays approaching 2561 02:19:03,160 --> 02:19:06,120 Speaker 8: an hour. But all in all pretty decent, I mean 2562 02:19:06,200 --> 02:19:09,240 Speaker 8: for February weather, so minimal delays and if you picked today, 2563 02:19:09,320 --> 02:19:10,200 Speaker 8: pretty good day to fly it. 2564 02:19:10,440 --> 02:19:12,160 Speaker 1: Jay Ryler, thank go for you. Love having you on 2565 02:19:12,200 --> 02:19:15,840 Speaker 1: the show. It's great information and sometimes quite comical. And 2566 02:19:16,240 --> 02:19:18,080 Speaker 1: look forward to having another talk with you next Thursday. 2567 02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:20,000 Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, my friend, and as always 2568 02:19:20,120 --> 02:19:21,959 Speaker 1: up as to health and loved you in your better 2569 02:19:22,040 --> 02:19:22,280 Speaker 1: half
