Speaker 2: a celebratory mood. Least we can try to be. It's

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: the effort that sometimes is difficult to achieve good trying

Speaker 2: going to unveil AFP's endorsements for the twenty twenty six elections.

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: We got a whole bunch of Ohio candidate's districts thirty one,

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: thirty five, fifty seven, sixty one, eighty one in eighty

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: six to talk about specifically and maybe a suggestion on

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: what you and I can do to help move things

26
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: along here in the state of Ohio for everyone's benefit.

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday a thirty with Judge Eddnopolitano today. This is

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: I really appreciated his column on this because it's absolutely crazy.

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: Column headline comes out tonight for those not in the know.

30
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: E in the know, I get an advanced copy. Tucker

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: Carlson and the freedom of speech. Can't get a healthcare

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: bill pass. They can't do anything, can't fight fraud, waste

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: and abuse. Oh look here in Ohio as well. It's

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: not just Minnesota folks continuing me on a tear about fraud,

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: wasted abuse in all government programs. Charles Chuck Schumer, of course,

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: he leads the Democrats in the United States Senate, introduced

37
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: legislation on his behalf as well as forty other Senate

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: Democrats if passed, would record the sense of the Senate. Yeah,

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: one of those pointless resolutions, the sense of the Senate

40
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: condemning Tucker Carlson because of the political, historical, and cultural

41
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: opinions of a guest that he interviewed in his podcast.

42
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: And of course the fall tunder doubles down on that.

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: As you read that correctly, the US Senate is being

44
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: asked to condemn Carlson because of what someone else said.

45
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: And then of course he goes into a constitutional breakdown

46
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: of the First Amendment and segues over to the batcrap

47
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: in sanity of what Chuckie Schumer is trying to do

48
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: rather than do something that really is on benefit of

49
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: the American people generally speaking. So let's condemn Kentucker Carlson

50
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: for what a guest said. Is this trip necessary? Of

51
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: course it's not. That's why we have Judge An A.

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: Poulton at eight thirty. We have you anytime you want

53
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: to call five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred,

54
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk go with

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 2: pound five fifty on an AT and T phone. I'd

56
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: love to hear from you, maybe the something on your mind?

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: Are you ready for war with Venezuela. Remember he declared

58
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: the Narco terrorists narco terrorists terrorist organization, which apparently gives

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: Donald Trump the right to blow up narco terrorists boats

60
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. We've been down this stroad of the Morning show.

61
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: I do have problems with that, And from a constitutional perspective, no,

62
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: I don't like them. I don't like ventanyl flowing into

63
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: our country. It is law breaking. But again going back

64
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: to the whole reality, do they represent an emminent threats

65
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: and a president have enough authority or free reign rather

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: to start launching missiles around the globe whether or not

67
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: we have a declaration of war or even authorization for

68
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: use of military force A fine, we don't need to

69
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: rehash that. But what was the predicate the declaration of

70
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: them being narco terrorists? Okay, so you can blow them up? Okay. Well,

71
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: he's now labeling the Venezuelan regime as a foreign terrorist organization.

72
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: So that's moving away from the narco terrorists, which are

73
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: engaged in engaged and of course coordinated law breaking, the

74
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: manufacturer and distribution of fentanyl. Moving over to yes, the

75
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: head of the snake, Nicholas Mundu and the whole regime.

76
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: And since we have an entire armada of US ships

77
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: floating around out off the coast of Venezuela, get your

78
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: popcorn out and get ready for war, because that's direction

79
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: if it looks like things are going But back over

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: to Froudway's abuse here in the United States, notably the

81
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: state of Ohio. See it's not just menace soda, and

82
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: props to Laura Viishov. Since I enquired did a little

83
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: breakdown on this for everybody's enlightenment, We'll start with forty

84
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: year old Lashita McClellan apparently had a real big party

85
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: at Versace Mansion in Miami Beach along with about ninety

86
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: of her friends. There was a massive yacht involved, and

87
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: she produced what is described as a high end video

88
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: music video. Specifically, I guess in connection with this fortieth

89
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: birthday party, eighty thousand dollars expense, and you paid for

90
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: at least part of it. Since you are earning taxes

91
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: or paying taxes, we'll just assume that you are, or

92
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: you can feel outraged on behalf of those of us

93
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: who actually paid taxes. In the music video, apparently she

94
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: displayed her twenty twenty one Lamborghini Urus, reportedly a two

95
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: hundred twenty two thousand dollars car that was in the

96
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: video shown in a downtown Columbus parking lot, which apparently

97
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: is where the video is filmed. Now, she and her

98
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: co defendant, Elena Hamilton are now serving five years at

99
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: Ohio Reformatory for Women for theft and fraud. How is that?

100
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Well Hamilton Alana Hamilton, the co defendant, also serving time,

101
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: worked inside state government approving fraudulent unemployment claims. Now. Lashida McClellan,

102
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: the eurosowner and video producer, ran a daycare center as

103
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: well as a tax preparation business. Apparently across the schemes,

104
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: the two were responsible for two hundred and thirty fraudulent claims,

105
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: costing the taxpayer five point nine million dollars just two people.

106
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: Oh five point nine million dollars. That's nothing, Thomas. We

107
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: blow through billions of dollars in fraud. Look at Minnesota.

108
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: These two are pikers by comparison. Yeah, well, they're tip

109
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: of the iceberg. In text messages, these two ladies outlined

110
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: their plans saying, well, let's get this money. Your money,

111
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 2: by the way, So they started with McClellan's unemployment claim

112
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: her own unemployment claim. Hamilton voided any fraud issues that

113
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: were related to that claim, sending her almost sixty thousand dollars.

114
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: She's the one that owned the daycare centers. And then

115
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: the next day McClellan returned the favor and paid Hamilton

116
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars fee via cash app. I Inspector General

117
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: issued fifty four subpoenas, worked with law enforcement officers. They

118
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: executed twenty four search warrants, and upon searching McLellan's house,

119
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: confiscated just under a million dollars cash stowed all over

120
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: the place, apparently including the children's lunchboxes. They found her

121
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: ledger in a notebook with Boss Babe on the cover.

122
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: Immateial I will acknowledge. But they also froze two million

123
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: dollars in assets across her twelve bank accounts. Nothing suspicious

124
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: there at all, described as these two among the relatively

125
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: few people investigated ooh, despite the massive number of pandemic

126
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: fraud schemes going on in Ohio. So you were called

127
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: during the pandemic here, let's throw money at all kinds

128
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: of problems. The only problem is is I've been pointing out,

129
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: and I know it sound like a broken record, no

130
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: guardrails in place, no effort to prevent scammers from builking you.

131
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: The American taxpayer, billions of dollars were set were stolen

132
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: by setting up fake business counts, stealing identities, handing out

133
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: stolen money to friends family. Since twenty twenty, federal prosecutors

134
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: and Ohio Inspector General Randy Meyer have investigated more than

135
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: one hundred people in five dozen Ohio cases. And as

136
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: the reporting noted, sure that sounds like a lot, but

137
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: OHI Inspector General Meyer said it's just a small fraction

138
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: of the total schemes billions of dollars siphoned off by

139
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: what are described as international crime syndicates. Although I don't

140
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: think Lashida McKellen and Elena Hamilton serving time now for

141
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: their fraud are part of an international organization, just two

142
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: women who saw an opportunity to rip you off. And

143
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: the sadder part about this, as is noted, the McClellan

144
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: Hamilton case described as unusual because authorities were able to

145
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: at least get back some of the taxpayer money that

146
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: they stole total five plus million. Apparently they were able

147
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: to get back three million dollars. I guess because she

148
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: had a million dollars stashed in her home, some of

149
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: which was in lunchboxes. Inspector General Meyer estimates that no

150
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: more than three hundred thousand will be collected from the

151
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: other nineteen cases that they have investigated that they have investigated,

152
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: while he speculates that billions of dollars were stolen. I

153
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: love these interesting little side notes. Federal prosecutors that a

154
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: Toledo man guid named Daniel Hitlin spent eighty eight grand

155
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: on a Cadillac Escalade, almost fifty grand on a nineteen

156
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: sixty eight Chevy Corvette, and four hundred and twenty seven

157
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: grand on of real estate, and twenty grand on Rolex watches.

158
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: Your money stolen? A woman named Laurie Schaeffer stole twenty

159
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars spend it on liposuction. What what? Twenty

160
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars of liposuction looks like? That's a lot

161
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: of fat, isn't it. Do they charge you by the

162
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: ounce extracted or is it just the procedure. I have

163
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: to look into that. Apparently, run a ten thousand dollars

164
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 2: check for a newborn baby gift that's in quote. I

165
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: guess was on the memo line. Spent almost a million

166
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: dollars to buy and renovate a home, all right, Ava

167
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: Missile nine bought a three hundred and twenty seven thousand

168
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: and five hundred dollars home in Michigan, which she didn't

169
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: even keep it here. In Ohio six hundred and fifty

170
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: grand roughly for a home next to Zaion National Park

171
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: in Utah, stole the identity of a baby who died

172
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy nine and used both her real and

173
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: fake names to get one point five million dollars. Yes,

174
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: in paycheck protection loans. They say they're focusing mostly on

175
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: pandemic unemployment assistance fraud. How about the other programs that

176
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: are out there, like the one in Mississipi in Minnesota.

177
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: This says from the beginning the pandemic through the end

178
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: of September of twenty twenty five, the Hot Department of

179
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: Job and Family Services reported one point eight billion dollars

180
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: in over payments and jobless benefits. In the same time frame,

181
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and eight million in over payments have been recovered.

182
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: That's a gross disparity, is it not? Hey, the money's gone,

183
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: it's been spent. If someone was there up front, minding

184
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: the store and monitoring these activities, maybe, just maybe it

185
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't have gone out the door in the first place.

186
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: And the WTF moment in the reporting on this look,

187
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: I wrote it right there in the margins. The state

188
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: hired companies to help process these unemployment claims. They say

189
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: some nine thousand people had full administrative access to the

190
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: entire unemployment system, which allowed them to void holds on

191
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: claims and release money. Like the first story I mentioned,

192
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: what's worse WTF moment number two, even after some of

193
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: those workers were fired, Ohio state contractors didn't shut off

194
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: their computer access to the system. Huh what might that

195
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: lead to? Well, here's Andrew Corobo got fired after working

196
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: for a state contractor named Ramsdad seventy five days. He's

197
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: working for seventy five days before his termination, he inappropriately

198
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 2: approved thirteen claims for thirty six grand plus almost thirty

199
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: seven grand, But the contractor didn't shut down his log

200
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: in credentials for another ninety days after he was terminated,

201
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: at which time or during which time, he inappropriately approved

202
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty five claims for six point eight

203
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: million dollars. Okay, you see a little bit of effort

204
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: would have gone a long way. Did they engage in

205
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: the effort? Obviously not in and okay again according to

206
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: the Inspector General, the ones I just mentioned a mere

207
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: scratch in the surface of the fraud claims that are

208
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: out there floating around in the world. Great five eighteen

209
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: fifty five kr CD talk station, be right back right

210
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: out forty degrees a fifty five kr CD talk station.

211
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: It's five twenty two almost anyway, fifty five kr CD

212
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: talk station. You gonna jump over the phones five one, three, seven,

213
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred two to three

214
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: talks for goofs and giggles. I just looked up the

215
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: cost of an oil change for a a Lamborghini Urus

216
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: that coming in in around two thousand dollars, so it

217
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: comes to quarter of a million dollars for a card.

218
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: Then you got that's there and in the face. Jay,

219
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Morning Show.

220
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Hey, thanks Brian, Hey, I want to thank

221
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: you for keeping the uh this this up and giving

222
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: our attention to all the fraudways and abuse going on

223
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: in Ohio. I don't hear it coming from anybody else,

224
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: And I would encourage the listeners that to pick up

225
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: the phone and call Keith Faber, Auditor of State of Ohio,

226
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: called the Attorney General's office. One of the things that

227
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey said, I don't know several months ago, six

228
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: months ago, is they don't really get that many phone calls.

229
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: That's a congressman. How many phone calls do you think

230
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: an auditor's office get?

231
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 4: Zero?

232
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Now?

233
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: Right, who's the honor of people's first questions? Who is

234
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: the auditor?

235
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 5: Well?

236
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Right?

237
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: And what does he do? Yeah, he's supposed to be

238
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: the one who's watching where the funds go. The Attorney's

239
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: General Office is the top cop in the state of Ohio.

240
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: That's Dave Yoh's office. Uh so let's shoot for like

241
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: five of us giving them a call today and saying

242
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: what what are you doing with the fraud, waste and abuse?

243
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: And I know you guys had.

244
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: Faber on.

245
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: Maybe a year or so ago, which I loved, unfortunately,

246
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: and I think we need to just just take a breath,

247
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: Brian and take a step back and remember what Faber

248
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: said when he was on the air. It's hard. There's

249
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: eighty eight counties. It's really complex and it looks like

250
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: work and he'd rather not. I might be paraphrasing that

251
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: last part, but that was pretty much my takeaway after

252
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: you interviewed him, was I heard a lot of excuses

253
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: for a guy who asked and ran for the job,

254
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: got the job putting, and he talked about that there

255
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: was different computer systems across eighty eight counties. Reminder, we

256
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: just gave six hundred million dollars to the Cleveland Browns,

257
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: which is my follow up question, follow up question to.

258
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: You with thank you Jay, That was that's like the

259
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: street car. It's a gift that keeps on giving in

260
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: terms of batcrap insanity.

261
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: Anyway, go ahead, Well you don't just shifting over to

262
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: the six hundred million dollars and a billion dollar stadium

263
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: going to the city paid for the Bengals. When Obamacare

264
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: came out, there was that edict that we had to

265
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: pay a tax and went to the Supreme Court and

266
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court says, you can't force people to buy

267
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: something that they're not using.

268
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Right, what does that? What does that?

269
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: When do we get that focus into football? Because I

270
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: don't consume football. I have zero interest in it. I

271
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: walked away from the NFL when I figured out what

272
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: what what kind of humanity I'm watching here?

273
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: But you're don't confuse the the intrusion on individual freedoms

274
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: and liberties with what our elected officials choose to do

275
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: with our tax payer dollars. They have a wide rain

276
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: and a lot of birth to uh to pick and

277
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: choose the winners and losers. We've seen that throughout government.

278
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: Republicans do it, Democrats do it, and in this particular case,

279
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: the very bright rates that are right right bright red

280
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: state of Ohio shows to give six hundred million dollars

281
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: of the damn Brown's. That's your elected officials making decisions

282
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: with what they do with your money.

283
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: Isn't there a president? Though? Now the Supreme Court that

284
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: says you can't force private citizens to buy something.

285
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: You're come on, Jay, you know you're not being forced

286
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: to do anything. Nobody's making you go by a brown

287
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 2: sticket or even show up at the state freebie.

288
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: They're taking my tax dollars and getting it to a

289
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: private business, forcing me to pay for it through my

290
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: tax dollars. I'm not consuming anything.

291
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: Now, those arguments have been rejected soundly by the Supreme Court.

292
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: Like for example, if you are a conscientious objector and

293
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: you don't believe in war, and you don't believe in

294
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: waging of war, you can't withhold your tax dollars because

295
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: a giant chunk of it goes to the American military.

296
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 2: You don't get to pick and choose what your elected

297
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: officials do. We were living a representative form of government.

298
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: They're allowed to do whatever they damn well please.

299
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: In large part, so how did the Obamacare mandatory edict

300
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 3: to pay for it?

301
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: Is because they said you have to engage in commerce

302
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: i e. Purchase and Obamacare policy. That's what you can't

303
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: do through the commerce clause. The commerce clause can you

304
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: prevent you from engaging in activity that affects interstate commerce,

305
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 2: but they can't force you to engage in interstate commerce.

306
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Huge, so they called it attacks.

307
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 3: But then they tried to call it attack, right, and

308
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: they got away with that for a few years because

309
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: John Roberts on the Supreme Court said you can't force

310
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 3: them to buy it, but we can call it attack.

311
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: That was a different That was a different part of

312
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: the argument. And you're right, is it a penalty? Is

313
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: it attack? What they called it attacks or attacks? Or

314
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 2: they called it a penalty over and over again. Apparently

315
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: that would have been unconstitutional, so magically it became a

316
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: tax under the court's decision. That is a completely separate

317
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: argument independent of the first one you advance, which regard

318
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: which was dealing with the commerce clause and whether you

319
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: can be forced to engage in commerce one last question.

320
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: But the tax got eliminated because it was found unconstitutional

321
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: even after they called it attacks.

322
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: No, it was upheld. The only thing in that Roberts

323
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: decision that that impacted Obamacare to what I would say

324
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: our advantage is what we just got done talking about,

325
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: which is they can't make you buy one. It caused

326
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: the whole thing to collapse because the only thing propping

327
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: it up was that every human being in the country

328
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: was going to be work, was going to be on

329
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: an Obamacare policy in providing premium dollars which would then

330
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: be used to pay all the claims. If you can't

331
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: make everybody buy it, there's a massive chunk of people

332
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: who aren't gonna buy it, and of course didn't, meaning

333
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: the premium dollars weren't sufficient to cover the losses that

334
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: were by all the claims that went in with people

335
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: with pre existing conditions, for example. That's why the premiums

336
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: have gone through the roofs, the only way insurance works.

337
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: Enough dollars coming in to cover the dollars going out

338
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: for claims. That's why your premium now is through the

339
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: roof and that's where the subsidies came in to cover

340
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: the failure of Obama Care brought about by the Roberts decision,

341
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: which told you you didn't have to buy it in

342
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: the first place. That's the bottom line, man, That's really

343
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: all there is to it, and we're dealing with the

344
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: aftermath of that failure by well, they're trying to hide

345
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 2: cover the cost of it, but you and I are

346
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: still footing it supplements in place, and when the supplements

347
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: aren't there, nobody wants to buy an Obamacare policy because

348
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: it's too damn expensive for the insurance you get, if

349
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 2: you can even call it insurance. Appreciate the call. As always,

350
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: Jay got a run and you can feel free to

351
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,280

Speaker 2: to you, welcome back, Hey.

367
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: Good morning. And I'm actually I think I'm going to

368
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 6: get one more day of vacation than you do. That's

369
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 6: that's pretty damn good.

370
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: I have been using mine though, so.

371
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, twenty Thurs my last day as well, and

372
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 6: then we got a nice trip plan, so good for you. Yeah, yeah,

373
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 6: I'm that that'll. I'm very much looking forward to it.

374
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 6: So uh yeah, you uh you know how to pick

375
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: the topics to get Jay stirred up and uh buy it.

376
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 6: And I appreciate Jay Jay is always full of a

377
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 6: lot of information and questions and and uh, keep it going, Jay,

378
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: I appreciate you. And yeah, this fraud, waste and abuse obviously,

379
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 6: you know, keep keep uh keep doing them, keep repeating it, Brian,

380
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 6: it's something that's worth repeating about this. Chefs should be

381
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 6: set up ahead of time before these programs go in place.

382
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: But they're in such a big hurry to throw your

383
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 6: money out the window and give it to give it away.

384
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 6: That's that's the knee jerk reaction of these politicians. Uh,

385
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 6: well these people are gonna need help, let's give a billions.

386
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 6: But well we got this many hundreds of millions and

387
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 6: and that, and that's you know that that can't keep

388
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 6: going on. We got to put a stop to it.

389
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 6: The only way to put a stop to is replace

390
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 6: these people. You know, got to trust the people. If

391
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 6: we're going to replace, replace them with who do I

392
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 6: believe that you're gonna do it any differently? And that's

393
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 6: that's the difficult part. That we got to keep trying

394
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 6: to get somebody else in there or what whatever, whatever

395
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 6: representative that that represents you, whoever you are listening, think

396
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: about your representative, Are they representing you?

397
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 7: And your what you believe.

398
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 6: Government should be doing with your money, and what they

399
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 6: do with your money is probably the most important thing

400
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 6: to do in their office, hands down, that's your that's

401
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 6: your life. You go to work, you do whatever you

402
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 6: do to earn that paycheck, and then you see some

403
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 6: of it being taken out. Right.

404
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why I've been harboring on this. Listen.

405
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: I am not attacking the program itself, because you can

406
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: make an argument all the daven oh my god, it

407
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: was the pandemic and you know the everything was shut down.

408
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: These people needed the money. You can make that argument

409
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: all day long. I might reject it, but bipartisan response

410
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: under across the board, from eleon Omar Kami over to

411
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 2: the farthest right wing conservative. Ask them the question, do

412
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: you believe in preventing fraud, wasted abuse? Do you believe

413
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: the money should go to criminals? Do you believe the

414
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: money should go to people who are not eligible under

415
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: the program to receive it. The answer should be an

416
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: outright absolute hell no. That should never happen, and I

417
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: will do everything in my power to prevent the American

418
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollar from being abused. They have to say that

419
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: because it is purely bipartisan. I want that upfront. You know,

420
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: then argue that as long as whatever you're doing includes

421
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: those provisions, and with our vast array of artificial intelligence,

422
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: I don't care. We have eighty eight counties in the

423
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: state of Ohio. They should be able to share data.

424
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: And if we can't share data right now, maybe job

425
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: one should be the ability for those counties to share

426
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: data to prevent medicaid fraud or any other kind of

427
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 2: fraud that we could encounter. Get the damn job done.

428
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 2: But bipartisan reality is no to fraud, waste and abuse.

429
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: And there is nothing that There's no one, nothing anybody

430
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: can say if they're running on a platform, if they're

431
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: pushing some particular program that justifies the ability, if you

432
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: see it gaping hole in the posle that would allow fraud,

433
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: waste and abuse, then y'all plug it up front.

434
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 6: I wholeheartedly agree. But another part of our broken record

435
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 6: is if if we get rid of the ability to

436
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 6: have fraud, waste and abuse, we get rid of the

437
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 6: ability of these politicians to throw money around at their

438
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 6: pet projects, at their buddies. See that's that's what you know.

439
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 6: You can get a politician to agree on the surface

440
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 6: to anything you want. But when they get behind closed

441
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 6: doors and in committee or they're talking to their buddies

442
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: or whatever, Yeah, we got a few hundred million dollars

443
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 6: we can sling your way, you know. Yeah, that's your money, people,

444
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 6: that's your money that they're throwing around. That's not coming

445
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 6: out of their pocket because they're also as we have

446
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 6: seen over the years, these people get in office and

447
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 6: they somehow magically become a whole lot richer than their

448
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 6: salary dictates that they should. And this is across the board,

449
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 6: This is everybody, This is all of them. This isn't

450
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 6: just Rhinos and Democrats, but they, I believe are the

451
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 6: worst defenders because.

452
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 7: They touch right out.

453
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 6: Their programs are designed, their programs are designed to waste

454
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 6: your money.

455
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: That's right. See that's what we got out of time,

456
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: tom out of time. But that's the point of it.

457
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 6: Don't vote Rhino and don't vote Democrat. Have a great day.

458
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: That's the point of my problem or my point. You

459
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: make the point up front you stop broad wasted abuse,

460
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: and then when it happens you can point to them

461
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: and say, see, you wanted fraud wasting abuse. Look what

462
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: you're doing with the money? Six thirty six right now,

463
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: fifty five KRS Detalk station, fifty five KRC way in station.

Speaker 2: and thousands of schools out there, So maybe you dodge

529
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: the bullet on that one. But let us go back

530
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: to my criticisms about the Internet and your Your motivation

531
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: should be to get your children off of it, because

532
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: every single pervert into the world is concentrated in one

533
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: fun spot we'd like to call the Internet social media accounts.

534
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: So that woman multiplied times, you know, the cross of

535
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: the population of billions of people globally, they're all right

536
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: there right there, waiting to go after your kids. Sorry,

537
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: I'm just on a tear on that as well of

538
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: late Cole Munzer here. Make sure you read deep talk

539

Speaker 2: two to three talk. Always welcome phone calls, even in

542
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: the middle of the STACKUS dupid, go back to the

543
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: stackus D. But something else for us to worry about

544
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: added to the list. How closely do you inspect your

545
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: food after you get back from the grocery store. I mean, I,

546
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: for one, if I'm pull open up a loaf of bread,

547
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to look at the slices of bread right,

548
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: just as a matter of course, just by holding it,

549
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: you're going to be looking at it anyway. Look out

550
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: for razor blades. Apparently one more thing. It's like Chris

551
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: or like Halloween. You know, I remember the rumors about

552
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: razor blades being stuffed into apples. Well, we got to block.

553
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: In Mississippi, police have arrested a Texas woman accused of

554
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: putting razors in several bakery items at multiple Walmart locations.

555
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? We'll never find out. Well,

556
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: maybe because she should share the award with the last

557
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: award winner, Joe. Maybe there's just a reason in and

558
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: of itself. Thirty three year old Camille Benson arrested charged

559
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: with attempted mayhem. Tip to investigators said she'd been seen

560
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: in the one thousand block at a Vision Street, which

561
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: led to her arrest. They had been looking for why

562
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: because oh look video surveillance footage. God started with complaints

563
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: from multiple customers who found razor blades in bread at

564
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: the Walmart located on Switzer Drive in blocks. The same

565
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: thing happened in to Walmart at the two thousand block

566
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: of Pass Road. After finding the razor blades, Walmart reported

567
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: the police that they had something similar happen back in

568
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: December fifth and December seventh, razor blades found in a

569
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: banana nut muffin and a loaf of bread. Employees never

570
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: reported it to the police until the most recent incident happened.

571
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: I guess they began to see a pattern emerge. Walmart removed,

572
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: of course, the suspected bread, and no injuries were reported, thankfully.

573
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: Police said nothing in the back of the store warehouse

574
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: was found to be compromised, which led police to believe

575
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: that the tampering happened on the store floor. Enter videos

576
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: camera footage of this woman walking out of the store

577
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: identified and arrested. So they say, if you bought any

578
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: bread at these walmarts, check for sharp objects. But since

579
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: this has now made it to the internet and the

580
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: story is in fact a viral reported story, everybody's going

581
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: to get the idea that maybe I too can put

582
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: razor blades in food. It's like a TikTok challenge or

583
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: something like that. A lot of stupid in the world,

584
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: isn't there, Just a whole lot. And you know what,

585
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: the article does not contain any more information than the headline.

586
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: Police investigating violent fight between customers and employees at West

587
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: Hartford Chipotle. That's really it. Start the fight broke out.

588
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't say anything else about it. Police called to

589
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: the scene. It's under investigation. Okay, fight broke out. I'm

590
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: surprised it wasn't a Walmart. So I can milk the

591
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: time for all it's worth. Here, I only have one

592
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: more stack of stupid story. We go to Tennessee, Tennessee.

593
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: Man thought his head was having car trouble. Turned out

594
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: to be something different than car trouble. It was a

595
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: pretty massive yellow python not made in the US. This

596
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: is in Tennessee several days ago. Jesse Hodge noticed an

597
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: unusual smell coming from his suv. His friends even noticed.

598
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: After a couple of days, he scheduled a maintenance check

599
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: at the car dealership, but the day before that he

600
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: decided to just pop the hood and take a close

601
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: look at what was going on. I raised the hood

602
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: on the car, he said, I could not believe what

603
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: I was seeing, finding a slithery yellow passenger coiled in

604
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: his engine compartment. Once I pulled up and popped my hood,

605
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: he laid right on top of the battery box underneath

606
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: my car. Frasing, Hodge called the Young Williams Animal Setter,

607
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 2: which came out to remove the snake. The snake, depending

608
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: on how you look at it, either happy or said

609
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 2: it was dead. Anyhow, always check your car in case

610
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: an unexpected passenger hitches a ride. Was this one more

611
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 2: thing we gotta worry about popping the hood in our

612
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: car to look for pythons? Phrasing, Wear that button out,

613
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: Joe hey, Now wait a second, help me real quick

614
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: here before we part company into the gain of the

615
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: six o'clock hour. Now is is climate change? Are we

616
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: are we experiencing here in December with the snowfall? Is

617
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 2: that related to global climate change, because you can't say

618
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: global warming right, because it will be inconsistent with the

619
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: theory of global warming for us to be getting all

620
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: this snow. Second, is the snow unusual this time of

621
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: year since I acquire reporting snowiest decembers in December twenty ten.

622
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 2: The number one snow in December sixteen point six inches,

623
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: then the next at sixteen point three inches nineteen seventeen,

624
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: fifteen and a half and forty two, nineteen sixty and

625
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine, fourth place at twelve and a half

626
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: eighty one, nineteen eighty one, nineteen point or ten point nine,

627
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, ten point eight seventh place, twenty four

628
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: and twenty thirteen. You go back to nineteen thirty five

629
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: for the preceding record at nine point seven, nineteen forty three,

630
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: eight point eight fifty one, and nineteen ninety tied for

631
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: ninth with eight point six inches. In other words, no

632
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: connection whatsoever overtime with the record snowfalls in the month

633
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: of December.

634
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 9: Now who can argue with that?

635
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: Thank you, Joe covib in five fifty six. Feel free

654
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,040

670
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 2: Ratliffe on tomorrow as well. All right, start with last week,

671
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: got a couple of related stories on this. So last

672
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 2: week the Pentagon released the latest footage yes I emphasized

673
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: that word with good reason, showing the most recent airstrike

674
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: on the Narco terrorist boats in Latin America. Okay, did

675
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: it on Monday? Blow up three of them they claim

676
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 2: are intelligence confirmed in the quote that the vessels were

677
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: transitting along the known narco trafficking routes in the eastern

678
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: Pacifician were engaged in narco trafficking. Eight males, they said

679
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: are narco terrorists or were anyway, Three killed in the

680
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: first vehicle a vessel, two killed in the second, and

681
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: three killed in the third. Right, the Pentagon released the

682
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: latest video footage. Why did he read that again? And

683
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: this was the day before, or rather right after this

684
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: blow up. Donald Trump announced the or declared rather that

685
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: fentanyl is a weapon of massed destruction. Where have we

686
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 2: heard that term before?

687
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 7: Right?

688
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: Rack, So, Venezuela weapons of mass destruction. So we have

689
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 2: narco terrorists again, which provides the vehicle for Trump to

690
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: blow the boats up. We now have the drugs themselves

691
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: identified as weapons of mass destruction. Now, say what you

692
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: want about Venezuela's foreign ministry. I know we had Bagdad

693
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: Bob in Iraq and whatever came out of his mouth

694
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: was a bunch of crap anyway, And of course whatever

695
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: they say is going to might be characterizing Venezuela's benefit.

696
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: But let's hear what he had to say right already

697
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: in his twenty twenty four campaign, Trump openly stated that

698
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: his objective has always been to keep Venezuelan oil without

699
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: paying any consideration in return, making it clear that the

700
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 2: policy of aggression against our country responds to a deliberate

701
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: plan to plunder our energy wealth. The true reasons for

702
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 2: the prolonged aggression against Venezuelas have fighting been revealed. It's

703
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: not migration, it's not narcotics trafficking, it's not democracy, it's

704
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: not human rights. It's always been about our natural wealth. Again,

705
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 2: he can say what he wants. Pivoting over. Trump yesterday

706
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 2: ordered a total blockade of oil tankers entering relieving Venezuela.

707
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 2: And I remember we had captured of Venezuela and tanker

708
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: a week or so ago, the skipper right off the

709
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: coast of Venezuela. They claimed that it was, you know,

710
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: violating international sanctions. A ghost ship, which those ships are

711
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: described as ships that don't fly under any particular color

712
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 2: of a flag. They're either under floor foreign flags. They

713
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: obscure their origins, they changed the names of the ships,

714
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: they changed the ship ownership through shell companies. So there

715
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: are these ships out there undeniably and they are trafficking

716
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: in sanctioned Venezuela and oil, which of course the skipper

717
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: was I'm not even going to contest that. So what

718
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: we do with the oil becomes another issue, and my

719
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: understanding is the administration is going to court to see

720
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 2: if they have legal justification to keep it fine. Now,

721
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: Trump again issued this total blockade of all oil tankers

722
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 2: entering Venezuela. Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada

723
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: ever assembled, he said in his post in the history

724
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: of South America. It will only get bigger, and the

725
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 2: shock to them will be the will be like nothing

726
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: they have ever seen before until such time as they

727
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: return to the United States of America all of the oil, land,

728
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: and other assets they previously stole from us. He went

729
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 2: on to say, the illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil

730
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: from these stolen oil fields to finance themselves, drug terrorism,

731
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: human trafficking, murder, kidnapping, for the thefts of our assets,

732
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 2: and many other reasons including terrorism, drug smuggling, and human trafficking.

733
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: The Venezuelan regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization.

734
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: So you see what he did there. He moved over

735
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: from the narco terrorists being the threat which allowed him

736
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: to blow them up. Right, debatable point. Some of my

737
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: listening audience said, we have every right in the world

738
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: to blow up those vessels. Now the whole Maduro regime

739
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: are foreign terrorists. Does anybody not see the bombs being

740
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 2: dropped on Venezuela anytime soon? He said. Therefore, today I'm

741
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil

742
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: tankers going in and out of Venezuela. The illegal aliens

743
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 2: and criminals of the Maduro regime is sent into the

744
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: United States during a week end and up by deministration

745
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: and being returned to Venezuela at rapid pace. America will

746
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: not allow criminals, terrorists are other countries to rob threatn

747
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 2: or harm our nation, and likewise will not allow hostile

748
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 2: regime to take our oil, land or any other assets,

749
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: all of which must be returned to the United States. Now,

750
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: in so far as them the Venezuelan regime taking our stuff,

751
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: that will be foreign oil companies. They were running the

752
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: oil system under the prior regimes before they went full

753
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 2: on socialist slash communists. But what happens under a socialist regime?

754
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: The state takes over the assets, right they confiscated the property.

755
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: This happens all the time. This is the risk that

756
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: private companies run when they are working in foreign lands.

757
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: What happens if the regime changes and there is no constitution,

758
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: there's no mandate that they compensate you for the land

759
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 2: or the property that they take from you that is taken.

760
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: And apparently, if you believe the outcome of the election,

761
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 2: the Missouri regime was full on socialists, and he took

762
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 2: the country full on socialists, which is why they're having

763
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: economic collapse there. But in so doing, they confiscated the

764
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: oil properties, running it themselves, as all socialist regimes do,

765
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: and of course running it into the ground, in large

766
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 2: part because they're inefficient and are don't have the skill

767
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: sets necessary to run an oil operation. But that notwithstanding,

768
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: but doesn't this sound like Iraq and the weapons of

769
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 2: mass destruction? It does to me, And then asked to

770
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: my emphasis on releasing footage. I find this to be

771
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 2: rather troubling, and fortunately there's a bipartis an effort to

772
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 2: actually get the videos of the September second Folk strike,

773
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: that's the controversial one where it was blown up, two

774
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: people survived, and then another MISSI was sent in to

775
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: dispatch the two people that were left alive. Not gonna

776
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: comment on the ethics and morality of that. But how

777
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: come we can't see the full video? Ask Pete Hegzath.

778
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: I find his arguments on shaky ground. They refuse to

779
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: release this full unedited vidulo A video of the September

780
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: second strike, according to Pete Heggsath, in keeping with long

781
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 2: standing Department of War policy, Department of Defense policy, of course,

782
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 2: we're not going to release a top secret, full unedited

783
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: video over that to the general public. This is a

784
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: statement he made yesterday on Capitol Hill. But we do

785
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: have some of the video right which show two survivors

786
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: of the initial bomb strike clinging to the boat and

787
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: then killed by a second attack. Now there's this debate,

788
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: was that an appropriate use of force or was it

789
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 2: a war crime? Yeah, I know, you know Joseph Paula

790
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: Thoma's position on that. I'm kind of out to lunch

791
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: on whether it was a war crime or not. Because

792
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 2: if you can justify the initial strike, if you are

793
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: at war with narco terrorists, why can't you kill the

794
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 2: rest of them like we do in wartime? Argue amongst yourself. Now,

795
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: the Senate is are the Pentagon is going to share

796
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: the full unedited video with members of the Senate House

797
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: Starm Service Committee, But that's behind closed doors. Pentagon spokesperson

798
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: said the Department of War has long standing policy of

799
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: protecting classified videos, especially those depicting extended versions of kinetic

800
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 2: lethal actions. They claim that declassifying the top secret video

801
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 2: the September second follow on strike for public consumption would

802
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: directly endanger ongoing operations, person now and assets in the area. Moreover,

803
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 2: releasing it would reveal sources, methods, and tactics which we

804
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 2: will not do. I come on, they say, releasing the

805
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: video risks revealing what model of aircraft was used in

806
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 2: the attacks. They say it could demonstrate sensitive information about

807
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 2: US military operations. Most of the informations right there what

808
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: we've seen, isn't it, And it's even reported that you know,

809
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: but you can tell by the crosshairs on the video

810
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: exactly what type of vehicle or aircraft or ammunition was

811
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 2: being used to blow them up. But come on, we

812
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: just want to know what the answer is. What kind

813
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 2: of sensitive information could possibly be revealed with a video

814
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: showing about a boat being blown up? I mean this,

815
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: I find this part troubling. I am all about, you know, transparency.

816
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm with both lind Graham and other Democrats. On the

817
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: other side, it says release the damn footage. Graham specifically

818
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: said they should release the footage because the strikes are,

819
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: in his words, lawful. Least of my concerns is the

820
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: friggin video. Release it, he said, I have every confidence

821
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 2: of what they're doing. Is they're doing is no different

822
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 2: than what Bush did. Of course, it's exactly what Bush did.

823
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 2: It's also what Obama did. Let us have the information.

824
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 2: Otherwise what happens. It's like the Epstein files. If you

825
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 2: hide it, we all wonder what in the hell there

826
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: is to hide. And this video or this video would

827
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: reveal information about the controversial or maybe not blowing up

828
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: of the second that the two Narco terrorists that still survived.

829
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: Why can't we know about that? If it's all above board,

830
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 2: give it to us or maybe huh, maybe it's not.

831
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: It certainly invites that question, mark, doesn't it? Just give

832
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: us the information? Six seventeen Right now, if you five

833
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 2: KCD talk station foreign exchange that you're imported audible stations

834
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: six twenty three, fifty goot care see the talk station.

835
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: Here's a quick fun question here, uh chips opining, Well,

836
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: stuff they may not want to us to know, or

837
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: something that pete eggs that might not want to be revealed.

838
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: Maybe that laser site was on one of the boats,

839
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: meaning there was a nearby human resource. Maybe I mean

840
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: like someone on one of the multitude of naval boats

841
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 2: in the Armada that's off the coast of Venezuela. Yeah,

842
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: I think that might be a likely source of targeting.

843
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 2: Is that some big revelation that we need to hide? Anyhow,

844
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 2: I don't have the end all be all answers to everything.

845
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: I just find it kind of interesting. You don't want

846
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 2: these types of things to be able to fester. And

847
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: I doubt there's really anything substantive in that. And you know,

848
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: if there's conversation back and forth, you can bleep out

849
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: the conversation and you can quote unquote sort of redact

850
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 2: it electronically and let our politicians argue among themselves about

851
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 2: whatever has been redacted is really truly some sort of

852
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 2: state secret In my efforts to continue transparency, Joe Biden

853
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: doesn't want any transparency. He sent a letter over to

854
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 2: are the Archival Operations Division or the National Archives and

855
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: Records Administration. That's I guess who's who's got all of

856
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: his information and all the documents from his presidency. Quote.

857
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: I am concerned that the disclosure of these materials I

858
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: might enter jack materials related to his use of the

859
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 2: auto pen controversial as it was, did he specifically give

860
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 2: the authority? We don't know you have to give the

861
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: specific authority extra to use the auto pen. Many are

862
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: opining and believe that he did not, and that his

863
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 2: aids the puppet masters, whoever was you know, running the

864
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: ship behind Joe Biden's addled brain, actually did the authorization

865
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: and executed or use the auto pen. But he doesn't

866
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 2: want that information released. He claims it will it'll impair

867
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 2: the ability of future presidents to receive robust candidate advice

868
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 2: from close advisors. For these reasons, I hear by assert

869
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 2: executive privilege over the documents listed. He said, I've raised

870
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: no objections to multiple requests for presidential records from my administration,

871
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But these records specifically reflect presidential

872
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: decision making and deliberations. So he's worried about the future

873
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 2: president he's worried about Donald Trump. The White House responded, saying, uh, now,

874
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 2: we're denying the calls for executive immunity. As President Trump

875
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: has stated, of the abuse of the autopen that took

876
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: place under the Biden presidency and the extraordinary efforts to

877
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: shield Biden's diminished faculties from the public, must be subject

878
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 2: to a full accounting. I'm sure that nothing similar ever

879
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 2: happens again. He also appointed out Biden's repeated abuses of

880
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 2: the rights of American citizens during the pandemic, his politically

881
00:50:55,080 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: motivated efforts to investigate members of Congress MMMM should also

882
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: be subject to a full accounting to ensure that nothing

883
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 2: similar ever happens again. Which is a great point, which

884
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: is why I'm all about letting these records come out,

885
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: most notably given the fact that we just found out

886
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 2: that the FBI did not have probable cause to raid

887
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 2: Marl Lago to get the claimed classified documents from Donald

888
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 2: Trump's possession. Now we know this, the memos are out.

889
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: They had no problem cause they did it. Anyway, Is

890
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: this the kind of information you and I should be

891
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 2: entitled to, including whether the auto pen was abused, And

892
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: if you don't let us have the records, the questions

893
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: will swirl, the conversations will continue, and of course the

894
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories will emerge over and over and over again.

895
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 2: What would solve all that problem transparency Epstein files. Give

896
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 2: us the dam files. Everything will shut up, everybody will

897
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 2: shut up. Just give it to us, or they'll make

898
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 2: hay out of maybe probably nothing, but that's going to happen.

899
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 2: They're making hay and they're they're making articles and accusations

900
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 2: in the absence of information. Oh my god, so and

901
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 2: so is implicated in the Epstein. Okay, implicated says, you

902
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: give us a documents and we'll know if what you're

903
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,799

Speaker 2: good to hear from me this morning.

912
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 5: Good morning, Brian. As you remember when I called them Monday,

913
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 5: I told you about how the depositions were supposed to

914
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 5: take place with Bill Clinton today and Hillary tomorrow. Well

915
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 5: they've postponed it. Oh yeah, now it's going to be

916
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 5: January thirteenth and fourteenth. And they're citing that it was

917
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 5: reason it's due to a funeral that they need to

918
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 5: attend somebody else they killed.

919
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's the thing.

920
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 5: Somebody put in the comments. Whose funeral is it?

921
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 10: And is it?

922
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 5: They haven't decided yet.

923
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 2: That's good high comedy.

924
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 5: Yeah. So anyway, but the Epstein Files Transparency Act, you know,

925
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 5: that was past the November and it was given thirty

926
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 5: days and I mentioned mayday that that thirty days is

927
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 5: up this Friday, so that is going to be coming out.

928
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 5: And that's all the information from, you know, the sealed indictments.

929
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 5: So that should reveal pretty much well.

930
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: Well until we see it will be Maureen, And I

931
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 2: guess I have to ask out loud since this information

932
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 2: was all behind the scenes and apparently accessible by at

933
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 2: least some elected officials, at least under the Biden administration.

934
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 2: Of course, now the Trump administration, don't you think given

935
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: all the leaks that we've seen. If there was anything

936
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 2: really horrifically damning in there that somebody on one side

937
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 2: of the political ledger would have released it already for

938
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: their own advantage. I think this is going to be

939
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 2: my listen, my tea leaves say, this is going to

940
00:53:58,880 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: be a big nothing burger.

941
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 5: What do you think, Well, I think it's going to

942
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 5: be more. I think it's going to unfold slowly, but

943
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 5: it will. I think it's a big sting operation. And

944
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 5: I also think the election brought is a big sting operation.

945
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 5: And I think it's all it is all going to

946
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 5: be revealed. But now Nancy Pelosi has been given a

947
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 5: subpoena by the Justice Department of Justice in California, and

948
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 5: that's related to January sixth. That news came out yesterday.

949
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 5: That should be something interesting that's going to unfold. But

950
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 5: also Trumps speaking tonight, and there's a lot of speculation

951
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 5: about what that topic is going to be. And I

952
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 5: don't know if it's I mentioned Monday about how we

953
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 5: may be instituting a national election emergency. I don't know

954
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 5: if that's what it's going to be. But Telsea Gabert

955
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 5: has been out speaking being pretty outspoken about the investigation

956
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 5: of the electronic voting machines and paper by midterms.

957
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 2: We can speculate all day long until you start talking

958
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 2: about it. I guess my submarine or friend curbage Mike

959
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 2: segu And maybe tonight he's going to be talking about

960
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 2: dropping bombs on Venezuela. Since he just declared the whole

961
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 2: regime a terrorist operation that coupled with weapons of mass destruction.

962
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: The label he's now given to fentanyl sounds to me

963
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: like we're setting ourselves up for Iraq too. Maybe he'll

964
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: address that. We'll see. Yeah that, Maureen, I know your

965
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: popcorns out, My popcorns out.

966
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 7: That's right.

967
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 2: I'll continue to enjoy it until I get the info.

968
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: You know me, I like to see concrete information. Thank you, Maureen.

969
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 2: I do appreciate your thoughts and comments and all of

970
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: your inside info you send me on Facebook. Please say

971
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:37,040

975
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,479
Speaker 2: the SD Avenue scene while giving victim medical attention. Police

Speaker 2: chase followed. Police were able to stop the vehicle. Person

Speaker 2: was detained by the officers. Police could not confirm if

982
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 2: that person was tied to the shooting. Police said no

983
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 2: suspects are in custody. The victim is expected to be okay.

Speaker 2: in the holiday spirit. Jack out again after the top

995
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 2: of the air news. Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven,

996
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: nine fifty hundred and eighty two to three talk or

997
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 2: a pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Jeff,

998
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the show.

999
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 7: Good morning, sir, and thank you for work. And I

1000
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 7: have a question. I heard you say something regarding them

1001
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 7: going into Donald Trump's place down at mar A Largo

1002
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 7: and they didn't have a search warrant.

1003
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 2: Now assuming no, they had a warrant, but they have

1004
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: the FBI internals, and I was going to get to

1005
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 2: that next, but here jump into the gun. The internal

1006
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 2: FBI folks who were writing heard over it do not believe,

1007
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 2: or did not at the time, believe they had established

1008
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 2: probable cause to get a search warrant. You got to

1009
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: go to court and say here's the reason why we're

1010
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's worthy for you to issue a

1011
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: warrant probable cause, we have evidence indicator crimes being committed,

1012
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 2: which allows us to search the place. There was a

1013
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 2: question within the FBI whether they even had probable cause

1014
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: to go in. They had no evidence, and they were

1015
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: looking around for it and couldn't find any. And yet

1016
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 2: a warrant was issued, none of us.

1017
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 7: I understand you saying that, But isn't there something illegal

1018
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 7: about having no idea of what they're talking about and

1019
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 7: they just go in anyway.

1020
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a violation, James Cope, it's a constitutional violation.

1021
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: That's a civil rights violation, caught a Fourth Amendment violation?

1022
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 7: Is it too? Is it too much of an assumption

1023
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 7: to say that.

1024
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 2: Did we lose them the Jeff you just trailed off?

1025
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: Is it too much of an assumption? That was the

1026
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: last word.

1027
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: I heard, too.

1028
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 7: Much of an assumption to say that James Comy or

1029
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 7: whoever was in charge of the FBI should be held

1030
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 7: legally liable for that. That's his job. He's supposed to

1031
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 7: know what the heck's going on.

1032
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 2: That's right. That's why I'm happy to see the files

1033
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 2: that have just been released. These documents from behind the

1034
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: scenes reflect that they did not believe they had probable cause,

1035
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: you know, l and behold they were magically able to

1036
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 2: get a search more an issue by a judge. I

1037
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 2: the first time this has been revealed, and it is

1038
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 2: a civil rights violation. Yes, someone can be held accountable. Question,

1039
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 2: will anybody be held accountable? The everlasting question that is

1040
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 2: always swirling about some issue, most notably about the activities

1041
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump during the prior administration. Suns so dive

1042
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 2: into details on that the FBI didn't believe it had

1043
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 2: probable cause. According to the Senator Chuck Grassley, who got

1044
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 2: into the documents, the FBI Washington Field Office said, quote,

1045
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 2: it does not believe and has articulated to the Department

1046
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 2: of Justice that we have established probable cause for the

1047
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 2: search warrant for classified records at mar Lago. That's one

1048
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:37,919
Speaker 2: of the records document continues. DOJ has opined that they

1049
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 2: do have probable cause requesting a wide scope including residents

1050
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 2: office storage based close quote well, that would include Milania

1051
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 2: Trump's garment drawer and her underwear drawer that they rifled through,

1052
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: as well the broad search that they wanted, which they got. Apparently.

1053
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 2: The official noted that the agents had spent six weeks

1054
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 2: trying to establish probable cause, but those efforts were counterproductive.

1055
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 2: According to the official in the bureau's Washington Field office, quote,

1056
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: we haven't generated any new facts, but we keep being

1057
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 2: given a draft after draft absent a witness coming forward

1058
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 2: with recent information about classified on site, meaning that there

1059
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 2: are classified documents there. There was just speculation that there were.

1060
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 2: At what point is it fair to table this? In

1061
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 2: other words, give up on trying to find probable cause.

1062
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 2: The same interviews with witnesses also did not yield any

1063
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: proof that sensitive intelligence files were hidden at the form

1064
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 2: or that Trump's estate, since he returned a whole bunch

1065
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: of the documents. Back in June of twenty twenty two,

1066
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 2: Senator Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, posted on x

1067
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 2: that these records were shocking, these revelations, pointing out the

1068
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 2: FBI didn't it self believe it had probable cause to

1069
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 2: raid Trump's residents, but they did it anyway, and the DOJ,

1070
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 2: in spite of the field agents saying we don't have

1071
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: enough information to get a warrant, pushed it forward, ignoring

1072
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 2: their own people and their own analysis. Says the communications

1073
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,959
Speaker 2: revealed the bureau wanted the warrant to be executed quote

1074
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: in a professional, low key manner, mindful of the optics

1075
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: of the search. Well, I think you probably remember what

1076
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: do they do? They called CNN up. They all had

1077
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 2: their camerackers ready for the FBI agents to roll in,

1078
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: guns pulled, kicking in doors, rifling through the residents. Yeah,

1079
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 2: that was real low key, and that trip was most

1080
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 2: assuredly not necessary, whether they had a legitimate warn or not.

1081
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 2: It's just crazy. I mean, this is why all this

1082
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 2: is worthy of being investigated. It shouldn't happen to a

1083
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 2: Republican president. It certainly shouldn't happen to a Democrat president.

1084
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 2: It shouldn't happen. Our elected officials are supposed to treat

1085
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 2: all of us equal under the laws. If you don't

1086
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 2: have pill cause, you don't have probable cause, give it up.

1087
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 2: But no, we've got to go after evil Orange men.

1088
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 2: We'll do it anyway, we damn well please. And I

1089
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 2: love the optics they having CNN there showing all the

1090
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 2: FBI agents with the lights flashing in, guns pulled and

1091
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 2: kicking in the door. Trump's how something must have been

1092
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 2: going on in there. Evil Orange men most assuredly had

1093
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: classified documents. Yeah, how'd that work out for you?

1094
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 7: Oh?

1095
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Look, he's president. He won the popular vote in the

1096
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: electoral college. Interesting that six forty six right now, feel

1097
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 2: free to get a call Chimney Care fireplaces to have

1098
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 2: another call you should make to take care. It's six

1099
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: fifty one and fifty five kre C detalk station, Jack

1100
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 2: Avid in after the top of the hour news Big Picture,

1101
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 2: a classic Christmas movie, and then Donovan and Eil with

1102
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 2: some endorsements AFP's God Americans for Prosperity for the twenty

1103
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 2: twenty six elections. So that's coming up. Hope you can

1104
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 2: stick around for that and feel free to call Tom's

1105
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 2: on the phone. You can call as well five one, three, seven,

1106
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 2: four nine fifty eight hundred and eight two three talk Tom,

1107
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you.

1108
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 11: Happy one say to you.

1109
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 12: So it looks like Mike de Wine and David Yost

1110
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 12: and Keith Favor, they're really taking a special interest in

1111
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 12: all these Haitians living up in Springfield, Ohio, which they're

1112
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 12: going to lose their temporary protection status on February third,

1113
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 12: and we the taxpayers have been paying tens of millions

1114
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 12: of dollars helping them run these health clinics, driving schools,

1115
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 12: language classes for them that learn English, and all the

1116
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 12: businesses like the landscaping companies, roofing and manufacturing companies in

1117
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 12: that general area. They're getting all this cheap labor, yet

1118
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 12: they're really not passing on any of these if you

1119
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 12: could hire a contractor to do your landscaping, you're not

1120
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 12: getting a price break because they're getting that cheaper labor

1121
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 12: on the backs of the other taxpayer. So that's like

1122
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 12: playing favoritism to his group of buddies up in that

1123
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 12: Springfield area, which he takes such a big interest. He

1124
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 12: doesn't want to see them all going back and being

1125
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 12: shipped out of here. But yeah, there's another one of

1126
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 12: our Yeah, you go ahead.

1127
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Mind, I can't speak to what any given landscaping company,

1128
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 2: even if they're hiring Haitians sort of doing the landscaping work,

1129
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 2: are are are passing along a discount to the consumer

1130
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 2: or not. You know, it's a competitive world out there,

1131
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 2: and there are other landscaping companies, and so if you

1132
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 2: do competitive bidding, you're going to find out whether one

1133
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: bid is higher than another. But that's up to them.

1134
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is rather interesting that he has such

1135
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 2: an engaged interest in the protecting the Haitian community and

1136
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 2: preventing Trump from well operating under his his band. His

1137
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: banning of Haitians from their temporary immigration status. You know,

1138
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 2: it's a temporary thing. It never wasn't meant to be permanent,

1139
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 2: was it. Right right, new administration, new sheriff in town,

1140
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 2: new policies, we all have to deal with that.

1141
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 12: Mist Swami pronounce his name correctly.

1142
01:04:55,080 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 2: But Rama Swami Ram Well, hopefully he'll do a better job.

1143
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 2: I think he's assured us Hioans that that is his platform.

1144
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 2: He's willing to cooperate with the federal government, and I

1145
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 2: don't want to put words in his mouth, at least

1146
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 2: in so far as ice enforcement actions are concerned. He's

1147
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 2: not going to make Ohio a sanctuary state. We can

1148
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: all be confident in that question marks swirling around where

1149
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 2: the wine's coming from on this position. I don't know

1150
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 2: what it is about the Haitian community up in Springfield.

1151
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't know how the residents of Springfield feel about it,

1152
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 2: but maybe it is an employment related thing because one

1153
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: of the specific comments he made nobody's going to fill

1154
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 2: these jobs. There will be no one to fill these jobs.

1155
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 2: First off, I don't know where that what particular industries

1156
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 2: the Haitian community is operating. Maybe it's landscaping, I don't know.

1157
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 2: I'm not painting with that broad of a bridge. Probably

1158
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 2: impacted some degree, But why aren't there enough people to

1159
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 2: fill these jobs? Are these jobs Americans won't do, a

1160
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,439
Speaker 2: term that I find rather offensive. You don't have a job,

1161
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 2: you're not working that is a job you can do.

1162
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 2: I presume if it's a menial labor job, it won't

1163
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 2: be a permanent job. Much in the same way working

1164
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 2: at McDonald's as a burger flipper is not intended to

1165
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 2: be permanent employment, as a stepping stone to establish a

1166
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:06,919
Speaker 2: record and prove that you can show up to work

1167
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 2: on time while you do make some money and use

1168
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 2: that experience and as a segue to go get a

1169
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 2: different job. That's the way it always worked. I don't

1170
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 2: know why I can't work now, but yeah. Let's look

1171
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: into the reasons Mike Dwine has such a keen interest

1172
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 2: in the Haitian community in Springfield. Let's look into Mike

1173
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 2: DeWine and why he has such a keen interest in

1174
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 2: a variety of different things that seemed contrary to Republican

1175
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 2: Party platforms and principles, at least traditional ones. Let's ask

1176
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 2: Mike DeWine why he seems to be protecting Amy acton

1177
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 2: who's going to be the one opposing vveg Ramaswami in

1178
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 2: the upcoming up good natorial election. He went out on

1179
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: a limb to point out the bucks stopped with him

1180
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 2: and so far as lockdowns were concerned. But he's not

1181
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 2: a doctor, is he. Do you think he came up

1182
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 2: with the ideas? No Amy Acton came up with him,

1183
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: and while it is under his administration, and he did

1184
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 2: pick that very blue Democrat to have that position. Question

1185
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 2: mark swirling about that one as well. He didn't have

1186
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: to accept a recommendation, but he did so her ideas.

1187
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 2: And if you're choosing a candidate just because you have

1188
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 2: a governor that followed along with some bad ideas, do

1189
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 2: you want the person who came up with the bad

1190
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 2: ideas to run the entire state. I'm a firm no

1191
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 2: on that one. We'll have time between now and November

1192
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 2: to figure it out on our own, and there will

1193
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 2: be debates. I can pretty much count on that. Six

Speaker 10: Oh Ho ho, pal, Yes, we're gonna smile this morning.

1209
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:09,919
Speaker 2: Goodness the classic Christmas movie. The topic that was given

1210
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 2: me for your subject matter this morning is, oh, maybe

1211
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 2: Jack will get us in the Christmas spirit. Nobody could

1212
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 2: do it better than you.

1213
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1214
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 10: I brought that up because Brian, as you've been noting,

1215
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 10: there are a lot of maddening things we could talk about.

1216
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 10: One that we have been and that's getting overlooked now

1217
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 10: with all the violence. Republican lawmakers, with the exception of

1218
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 10: a very few like Grand Paul, having done nothing since

1219
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 10: twenty seventeen about replacing Obamacare with free market reforms that

1220
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 10: would cost us nothing. This could cost us instead the midterms,

1221
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 10: and we've done nothing because these lawmakers are bought and

1222
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 10: paid for by insurance and pharmaceutical donors or ahead of

1223
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 10: the President's speech tonight, we could discuss blockading Venezuela like

1224
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 10: it or not, it's an active war, folks. We could

1225
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 10: talk about Brown University shooting the hon A combassacre in Australia.

1226
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 10: We could talk about Rob Reiner because speaking of Rob

1227
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 10: Reiner and this is what gave me the idea. We disagreed,

1228
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 10: but he made a lot of great movies.

1229
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 2: Amen, So let's do this.

1230
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 10: Let's be happy for this last time we get together

1231
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 10: before Christmas and talk about our favorite Christmas movies. Mine

1232
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 10: actually has a somewhat serious message, but it's a comedy.

1233
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 10: What's your favorite Christmas movie?

1234
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 2: Brian Oh, Charlie Brown's Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. I always

1235
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 2: go to that one because I think the story is

1236
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 2: an important one. You know, the commercialization of Christmas, and

1237
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 2: of course the true meaning of Christmas is lost in

1238
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 2: the commercialization. And you know, Jacket's funny because that movie

1239
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 2: or that show, of course, half hour show. But I

1240
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 2: was really an I depression that that was kind of

1241
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 2: like the genesis of the attack on the commercialization of Christmas.

1242
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 2: I watched Miracle on thirty four Street the other day

1243
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: with my wife, and I can't remember what year it was,

1244
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 2: nineteen five Orties movie. If I recall correctly, he was

1245
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 2: black and white. They were attacking the commercial commercialization of

1246
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Christmas back then too, So this is a phenomenon that's

1247
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 2: going on a long time. But that one and a

1248
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:15,719
Speaker 2: Christmas Story, which I really enjoy that one. But that also,

1249
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 2: I think is it puts pressure on parents to, you know,

1250
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 2: to get their kids every year that red Ryder bebie

1251
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 2: Gun or an analogous version of that for their kids,

1252
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 2: because boy, if you don't do that, you're not a

1253
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: good parent. So there's a kind of a mixed message

1254
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 2: built into that one.

1255
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 10: Jack Well, you remember Linus's last line, but he tells

1256
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 10: the Christmas story. That's what Christmas is all about. Charlie Brown. Yeah,

1257
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 10: and you know, as far as Jeane Shepherd goes, who

1258
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 10: I used to listen to on the radio in New York,

1259
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 10: I don't know if they played them out here. Obviously,

1260
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 10: nobody ever told little Brian Thomas, you'll shoot your eye

1261
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 10: out thistle Pete Hexset's Department of War envies this man's arsenal.

1262
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 10: And yes, one of my family's favorites is the original

1263
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 10: Miracle on thirty fourth Street. They remade it, but it's

1264
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 10: not as good. When they were small, our girls knew

1265
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 10: there were a lot of different guys in red suits

1266
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 10: who take a picture with you were shopping malls. But

1267
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 10: the real Sata Clause was the one who worked at

1268
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 10: Macy's in New York City and then slid down our chimney. However, however,

1269
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 10: the number one Christmas movie in our house is one

1270
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 10: you may not have heard of. It's one of the

1271
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 10: great films of Hollywood's Golden Age, Diehard The Shop around

1272
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,879
Speaker 10: the Corner. The Shop around the Corner has a plot

1273
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 10: that is so great it's been remade twice and turned

1274
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 10: into a Broadway show. Here's the story. In a small

1275
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 10: leather good shop, two co workers bicker all day long,

1276
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 10: not realizing that at night, anonymously, they've been writing love

1277
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 10: letters to each other. When the movie was updated as

1278
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 10: You've Got Mail, you remember that one. Oh yeah, Tom

1279
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 10: Hanks was the big bad owner of a book store, Shane,

1280
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 10: that was putting Meg Ryan's little shop out of business.

1281
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 10: The original Shop around the Corner did not have an

1282
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 10: anti capitalist agenda. That's new Hollywood. Instead, this nineteen forty

1283
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 10: film showed how a half dozen employees of the shop

1284
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 10: were able to eat during the Great Depression in Europe

1285
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 10: as the Nazis were about to invade thanks to a

1286
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 10: crazy entrepreneur and his small business. The cast, headed by

1287
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 10: Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan, is perfect, and the director

1288
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 10: Ernst Lubich managed w witty, warm hearted comedy like nobody else.

1289
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 10: But even the remakes remind us that when people see

1290
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 10: a good story, they love seeing it again and again.

1291
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 10: How many times have they remade Dickens? Christmas Carol I

1292
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 10: wrote that, yeah, we may started long long before that.

1293
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 10: My old friends, the ancient Greeks who invented drama, seldom

1294
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 10: came up with news stories. Hilosophocles Euripides instead told ancient tales.

1295
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 10: The audience knew what was coming, but they cherished that familiarity.

1296
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 10: Same thing with Shakespeare. He often wrote about history, and

1297
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 10: his other plays told familiar stories too. For instance, there

1298
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 10: had been another Hamlet just before Shakespeare came out with

1299
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 10: his own version. Audiences loved them.

1300
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: Both.

1301
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:28,919
Speaker 10: Our ancestors loved hearing folk tales about American heroes, mythical

1302
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 10: ones like Paul Bunyan. Today, Paul would be arrested by

1303
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 10: Tim Watson Minnesota for cutting down trees. But Americans also

1304
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 10: used to repeat stories about real life heroes. Maybe George

1305
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 10: Washington as a boy did not actually say I cannot

1306
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,600
Speaker 10: tell a lie I chopped down the cherry tree. I

1307
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 10: was never crazy about that story, and George sounded too

1308
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 10: much like Eddie Haskell and leave it to Bee. But

1309
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:59,600
Speaker 10: most of the stories about General Washington, and Washington the

1310
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 10: leader of the Constitutional Convention, and Washington our first president

1311
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 10: who set the example of accepting strong but limited power,

1312
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,759
Speaker 10: those stories were all true. That's why even King George

1313
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 10: back in England called our George the greatest man in

1314
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 10: the world. He actually said that we don't see a

1315
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 10: lot of movies today about Washington or Lincoln, much less

1316
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 10: the two Roosevelts or Ronald Reagan, because children are no

1317
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 10: longer taught to honor these heroes the way Romans were

1318
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 10: taught to honor Julius Caesar and British people honored one

1319
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 10: of Shakespeare's kings, King Henry the Fifth. At least they

1320
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 10: used to today, and it's been this way for decades.

1321
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 10: I remember it when I was to school, Brian, and

1322
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 10: I'm old schools either don't teach history, or they debunk heroes.

1323
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 10: Schools and Hollywood would rather celebrate victims. Even heroes like

1324
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 10: doctor Martin Luther King Junior are not celebrated for over

1325
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 10: coming challenges, for demanding to be judged by his character,

1326
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 10: not the color of his skin. Too many of us

1327
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,600
Speaker 10: today just want to remember doctor King as a victim.

1328
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 10: There are no historic heroes in the shop are on

1329
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 10: the corner, but there are everyday heroes, men and women

1330
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 10: who stand up for hard work, supporting their families, generosity

1331
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 10: and love. My family love this movie and we think

1332
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 10: you will too. It ends with the merriest, happiest Christmas,

1333
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 10: which is what I wish everyone amid all the craziness,

1334
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 10: especially you and Joe.

1335
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:39,759
Speaker 2: My friends truly appreciate that. Jack. It's a wonderful sentiment.

1336
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 2: Of course, back to you and your loved ones from

1337
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 2: j Just Trecker and I at the fifty five Casne

1338
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 2: Morning Show, which you talk about honoring those heroes and

1339
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 2: the reasons in their accomplishments, I wrote down Cuba. If

1340
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 2: you recall after the Cuban Revolution, what if Fidel Castro

1341
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 2: do He would talk endlessly up over and over again

1342
01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 2: about the importance of the revolution, what it meant to

1343
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,719
Speaker 2: overthrow Batista, what it meant for the people of Cuba.

1344
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 2: And it was indoctrination. And they did it in their

1345
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 2: classrooms and they still do it to this day. The

1346
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 2: glory of the Cuban Revolution, the glory of Castro, they

1347
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 2: haven't forgotten about it. As terrible as their situation is,

1348
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 2: it's that indoctrination and that sort of creation of a

1349
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 2: love for you know, the late Feedel Castro, like it

1350
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: or not, at least you know, he took the time

1351
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 2: to ingrain in his citizenship, his citizens how they got

1352
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 2: from before under that form of corruption, into the system

1353
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 2: that they got into. We haven't when do we quit

1354
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 2: Why did we quit teaching history? Why do we quit

1355
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 2: teaching about what our revolution meant and the reasons behind it?

1356
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,600
Speaker 2: Jack Adad and I know taxation without representation was a

1357
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:45,799
Speaker 2: key element and why we overthrew the reins from England

1358
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 2: on our country. You know, our children have forgotten about that.

1359
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 10: Well, we stopped teaching these stories because the left hates

1360
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 10: the country. It's a terrible thing to say Christmas, and

1361
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 10: I apologize for it. And it's not in keeping it

1362
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 10: with the tone of what I have to say. But

1363
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 10: it's true. They feel this country was doomed from its

1364
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 10: birth because it was unjust. But you don't have to

1365
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 10: wait for Hollywood, folks. If you're looking for a good

1366
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 10: Christmas story for your kids or grandkids, tell it yourself.

1367
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,480
Speaker 10: I mean, how about this one about our Fidel Castros

1368
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 10: not the way to put it, perhaps, although let's face it,

1369
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 10: Fidel was heroic going up against Batista. Let's talk about

1370
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 10: George Washington on Christmas night in seventeen seventy six, at

1371
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 10: the British forced the general and his starving army out

1372
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 10: of New Jersey into Pennsylvania. Washington and about twenty five

1373
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 10: hundred soldiers, many of them who didn't have shoes or

1374
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 10: hadn't had anything to eat, They crossed the icy Delaware

1375
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 10: River during a hollacious snowstorm. Their password was victory or death.

1376
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 10: General Washington's brigades then marched on Trenton, New Jersey, caught

1377
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 10: enemy troops there by surprise and turn the tide of

1378
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 10: the entire war. I don't think Hollywood has made a

1379
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 10: movie about this, but tell the story and show the kids.

1380
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 10: Emmanuel Loots his famous painting Washington crossing the Delaware. That

1381
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 10: picture is worth a thousand words and a thousand Hollywood blockbusters.

1382
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's great. I think it's a great point, Jack,

1383
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 2: and just reminds me of a Christmas tradition my wife

1384
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 2: and I have. We go to the Art Museum and

1385
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 2: the only purpose of our visit to the Art Museum

1386
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 2: every year Christmas time is to see the Uh it's

1387
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 2: it's a painting called the Midnight Mass done by a

1388
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 2: local artist. Oh it's well over one hundred years old,

1389
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 2: but it's Mount Adams and it's that that Catholic Church

1390
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 2: of Mount Adams. You're the one that the steps goes

1391
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 2: up to and there's you know, you see the lights

1392
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 2: through the windows, but it's a milk covered a milk

1393
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 2: painting covered, so it looks, you know, foggy and snowy,

1394
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 2: and the rest of Mount Adams is almost completely dark.

1395
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: There's one little lit window here and there. We'll stare

1396
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 2: at that for fifteen or twenty minutes every year because

1397
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 2: it's just to me and to my wife, it just

1398
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 2: kind of sums up the Christmas feeling and the Christmas attitude.

1399
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 2: We always walk out with a real positive spirit about that.

1400
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 2: So if you're looking for something else to do along

1401
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 2: those lines. I don't over to the art Museum, but

1402
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 2: I got to comment real quick here because I talked

1403
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: about the commercialization of Christmas. Of course, Charlie Brown does

1404
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 2: and The Miracle on thirty Fourth Street as great a

1405
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 2: movie as it was, you know it was. It's an

1406
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 2: uplifting movie and everything, but they too had a lot

1407
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:31,759
Speaker 2: of this sole commercial commercialization component in that movie. Remember

1408
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 2: of the Macy's in Gimbals Battle. Macy's was the store

1409
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 2: where the Santa Claus was working, and he was referring

1410
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 2: people over to Gimbals, the competitor, or other stores that

1411
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 2: had the goods that the people were in the store

1412
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 2: looking for. And everybody went crazy, like, oh my god,

1413
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 2: he's referring business. He's going to impact our profit margin.

1414
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 2: As it turns out, everybody was so happy with it.

1415
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 2: More people wanted to shop in Macy's because they engaged

1416
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 2: in that policy, you know, helping people out. That's called goodwill,

1417
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 2: and it can innure to your benefit even if it

1418
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 2: doesn't improve your bottom line, right Jack, Yeah, And.

1419
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 10: It happens even now you'll have employees that will really

1420
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 10: help you. I mean the amount of time that they'll

1421
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 10: spend on the phone with you for Amazon or some

1422
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 10: of these other It was just on with Spectrum the

1423
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 10: other day. It's incredible. Unfortunately, more and more of those

1424
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 10: good people are becoming AI robots. Yeah, that's a whole

1425
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 10: different topic.

1426
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 2: It is Jack Advan, Merry Christmas to you and Ainsley,

01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 2: I didn't know the name, but anybody who's lived in

Speaker 2: and Neil. Joey, thanks for calling this morning.

1450
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,759
Speaker 7: Welcome, Hey, you're welcome.

1451
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 6: Hey.

1452
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 11: I just wanted to comment on Jack Is. His voice

1453
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 11: is so sincere and commanding and heartfelt and everything. The

1454
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:43,480
Speaker 11: way he's just sell the truth about any particular situation.

1455
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 11: He is very Paul.

1456
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 2: Harvey like, you know why, Joey, because he is that's him.

1457
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't. It's like I sing on the

1458
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 2: Morning Show. I've said it before, Joey. You know when

1459
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 2: I speak for a sponsor. I couldn't lie to you, Joey.

1460
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 2: I don't know you faced face, but I wouldn't lie

1461
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 2: to you. You listen to the program. Why would I lie?

1462
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 2: Jack Evans, he sounds believable. He sounds compelling is because

1463
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 2: he believes in what he says. He's not trying to

1464
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 2: pull some kind of stunt. And nobody can lie all

1465
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 2: the time and get away with it. You can hear

1466
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 2: it in the voice inflection, right, you know, when someone's

1467
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 2: trying to pull a ruse.

1468
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 11: He's incredible. He really should almost go nationally. And I

1469
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 11: know this is big, but start here or whatever. And

1470
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 11: you know, once every other hour during the day, when

1471
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 11: you heard Paul Harvey's five minutes, it was so refreshing. Yeah,

1472
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 11: and man, he is just incredible. He really should consider

1473
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 11: doing something like that. And the other thing I want

1474
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 11: to point out, just real quick for hang up is

1475
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 11: some of the comparisons you're given to movies. I had

1476
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 11: an incredible experience myself that I did something really big

1477
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 11: for a couple of younger people and they found out

1478
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 11: what a history Buffy was. And this has been a

1479
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 11: few years ago, and they were talking about, my god,

1480
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 11: what's going on. One kid in fifth third Bank could

1481
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 11: wait till I come in to get analogy of what

1482
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 11: was happening currently in the world, which was really bad

1483
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 11: going on a few years ago. And finally him and

1484
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 11: a bagger at Kroger.

1485
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 7: To be honest with you, couldn't wait to pick my.

1486
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 11: Brain every day to get advice, almost like fatherlike advice.

1487
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 11: And I kept telling them and it dawn on me

1488
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 11: one day with the kid in the bank, I said,

1489
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 11: you know what, have you ever watched Chandler's List? Had

1490
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 11: no idea what it was. I said, I'm going to

1491
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 11: tell you something. Over the weekend. I want you to

1492
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 11: take the time and rent and go get the movie

1493
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 11: or rent it whatever you do, and watch Schindler's List.

1494
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 11: It'll give you the best parallel to the road that

1495
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 11: we're heading down, and explain it to you because they

1496
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 11: don't in school, and they didn't in school with you

1497
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 11: obviously of what is happening and what could happen. And

1498
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 11: you know, both those kids watch Schindler's List and it

1499
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 11: is a tool to teach a young mind, to just

1500
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 11: really give them some enlightenment that they're not getting at school.

1501
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 11: Both those kids will never forget me because of watching

1502
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 11: that movie.

1503
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 2: Excellent suggestion, Joey. Outstanding suggestion. I'm glad you called up,

1504
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 2: and I appreciate your kind words for jack Athan and

1505
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 2: I share your comments and your sentiments and Yeah, that

1506
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 2: is an outstanding movie, you know, talking about great teacher.

1507
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 11: Tell a young mind to watch that.

1508
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you knew you had a lazy teacher in school

1509
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 2: when they would fire a movie up rather than teach class. Well,

1510
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 2: I think that's a worthy endeavor. Fire up that particular

1511
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 2: movie and it will be a great learning experience for

1512
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 2: the young people. Just consider it. Thank you, Joey, God

1513
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 2: bless you, sir, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

1514
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 2: Donovan O'Neil from Americans for Prosperity, Welcome back to the

1515
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 2: fifty five Carcey Morning Show, my friend Brian. Great to

1516
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 2: be with you, as always, always a pleasure. Now you've

1517
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 2: got some AFP has some endorsements. I mean, we're already

1518
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 2: talking about the November twenty sixth elections, Donovan. I know

1519
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 2: that comes as no shock to you. It's certainly not

1520
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 2: a shock to me. But it seems like we've been

1521
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 2: talking about it now for a couple of years. Ever

1522
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 2: since Trump was sworn in. Everybody's looking forward to the

1523
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 2: midterm elections and oh my god, the Democrats are going

1524
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 2: to wall up the Republicans and we'll see how that goes.

1525
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 2: But you've got some endorsements already. But before we get

1526
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 2: to that, I don't want to throw a curveball your direction, Donovan,

1527
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 2: but I'm curious to know if you've reached any conclusion

1528
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 2: about what the hell Governor Mike DeWine's issue is with

1529
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 2: VV Ramaswami and his seemingly providing some cover for Amy

1530
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,839
Speaker 2: acton Amy lockdown acting, he said, no, the buck stops

1531
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 2: with me. All those decisions were mine, in spite of

1532
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 2: the fact he's not a doctor and he didn't create

1533
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 2: the ideas of lockdowns. Those were exclusively hers. But why

1534
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 2: hasn't he endorsed Vvke in spite of the fact the

1535
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 2: Republican Party has already? Do you can you make any

1536
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 2: you know, can you come to any conclusion or have

1537
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 2: you drawn any conclusions about that at AFP Donovan?

1538
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: My observation there, Brian is that it's a fundamental difference

1539
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 1: in visions for the state, and you know you have

1540
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: that in a political party, right, they're both Republicans. But

1541
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: the vision Mike Dwine has for the state, as we've

1542
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: seen play out over the last several years, has been

1543
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 1: more spending, bigger government. There've been good things done here, right,

1544
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: but I think what you see with vakas somebody's bold

1545
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: and going to move the state in a dramatically different direction,

1546
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: in my opinion, for the better. And so I don't

1547
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,640
Speaker 1: know how that kind of stuff gets plays out in

1548
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: a public facing environment, but I think, you know, we're

1549
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:22,719
Speaker 1: going to stay the course and stay focused on twenty

1550
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 1: six and the opportunity that presents, as well as with

1551
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: the next governor, the ability to do the big, bold

1552
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 1: things that we've been talking about for the last five

1553
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: years in our Buckeye Blueprint, like lowering taxes, expanding education, opportunity,

1554
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: cutting a tape, and so that's where that's where our

1555
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: focus is. And we think a new governor is going

1556
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: to provide a lot of great opportunities rather than a

1557
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 1: lot of really bad vetos, which is what we've seen

1558
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,440
Speaker 1: this year from Governor to Wine.

1559
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,679
Speaker 2: Well in the big hurdle that the facing Republicans generally speaking,

1560
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 2: Trump generally speaking, and of course something that might very well,

1561
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 2: very well impact them interm elections and moving away from

1562
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 2: Obamacare and whether or not we get subsidies out there.

1563
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 2: But in inflation, and I keep you know, hearing, oh

1564
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,759
Speaker 2: my god, Donald Trump, it's his fault. Inflation inflation, inflation.

1565
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 2: I just looked at something like, look at the state

1566
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 2: of California and compared to you're just here in the

1567
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 2: state of Ohio. In spite of what Governor de Wine's

1568
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 2: done here, and I know he has caused prices to

1569
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 2: perhaps go up because of the red tape you mentioned.

1570
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 2: The more red tape, the more expensive it is. How

1571
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 2: much is a gallon of gas in California, It's like

1572
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 2: five bucks. Nationally we're under three bucks. Wonder why that is.

1573
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 2: Is that inflation? No, it's California sticking it to their

1574
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 2: own people. It's too expensive to buy gas there because

1575
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 2: of all the regulatory environment. Build yourself a fifteen hundred

1576
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 2: square foot house in California and compared to building one

1577
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 2: here or pretty much any other state, not any other

1578
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 2: red state, it's a fraction of the cost. Why is

1579
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 2: that regulatory hurdles, impositions of costs and fines and all

1580
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 2: other form of government control to make it impossible to

1581
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 2: buy something, You know, we do it to ourselves. The

1582
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 2: green energy policy, I mean Barack Obama set it out loud.

1583
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 2: The price of gas will necessarily increase, not naturally based

1584
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: upon the laws of supplying demand, but the regulatory environment

1585
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 2: that choked the oil and gas industry to the point

1586
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:08,440
Speaker 2: where it became too expensive. These are self created problems

1587
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,679
Speaker 2: that are easily solvable by getting rid of the red tape.

1588
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: Oh totally, Well, there was an opportunity to do that

1589
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,879
Speaker 1: included in the most recent state budget. It was vetoed

1590
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: by the governor. We've got a handful of property tax

1591
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: reform bills, right, folks. That's been the number one issue

1592
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: for Ohioans for the last several years, as their property

1593
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: taxes have spiked. Those bills are still sitting on a

1594
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: desk in the Governor's mansion awaiting signature. But beyond just

1595
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: governor one, I agree with you, Brian, like I typically do,

1596
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:41,599
Speaker 1: which is that you know, a lot of the problems

1597
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: our nation faces are state faces. Are problems created by

1598
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 1: government allowing bureaucrats and elected officials to take and these

1599
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 1: so called experts right to take and control our lives

1600
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: and control the regulatory environment that we have to live in.

1601
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be that way. We don't

1602
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,320
Speaker 1: have to have leaders who look to take our freedom

1603
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: and the liberties from us. We kind of like leaders

1604
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: who are going to protect us from government and that's

1605
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: what you know, you and your listeners know we at

1606
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 1: AFP Ohio are working to do every day.

1607
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 2: And that's because and that's you vetted candidates which you're

1608
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 2: going to talk about here in the next segment that

1609
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 2: you know obviously are in line with what you and

1610
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 2: I are talking about tomorrow. So we'll find out about

1611
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 2: these endorsed candidates for Americans for Prosperity with Donovan and'

1612
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 2: neil pause from Roman, let me first mention plumb type

1613
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 2: plumbing plumbing the station, Happy Wednesday. Brian Thomas here with

1614
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 2: Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity. You can probably

1615
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:40,759
Speaker 2: get some tips here at the end of the segment

1616
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 2: with Donovan on how we can get involved, and getting

1617
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 2: involved in advance of November of next year is really

1618
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 2: important thing to do. Get to know your candidates and

1619
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 2: the endorsed candidates from Americans for Prosperity. We've got a

1620
01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 2: few of them to talk about this morning. Do you,

1621
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,600
Speaker 2: in advance of endorsing in particular candidate Donovan, do you

1622
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 2: sit down with them face to face and talk with them.

1623
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 2: You just look at their campaign materials, what they've said

1624
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:03,960
Speaker 2: before the record. How does that all go or is

1625
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 2: it a multitude of all the four going?

1626
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: Well, it's a multitude of all of those, right. It's

1627
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 1: not something that we just pass out. You know, party

1628
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 1: designation doesn't weigh in. You know, these dings isn't an

1629
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 1: automatic qualifier. We we have a policy survey that we

1630
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:24,639
Speaker 1: we pass out to folks. We then have them sit

1631
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 1: down and we spend time talking through these things with them.

1632
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 1: And it's a long process right where We've got a

1633
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: great member of our team, Tim Ross, our deputy state

1634
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 1: director of Political Director, and brought him on a few

1635
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 1: years back because you know, good policy doesn't just happen

1636
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 1: out of thin air. It happens because we have good

1637
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 1: elected officials who folks who wan't vote for send to

1638
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Washington or Columbus, and when they get there, instead of

1639
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: just going along to get along, they help enact a

1640
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: bold policy agenda. And that's you know a big part

1641
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 1: of our process when we're talking with these folks and

1642
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,640
Speaker 1: getting it under getting to know them and talking to

1643
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: our activists about the people they see leading in their community.

1644
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: We're looking for folks right who are going to go

1645
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 1: to Columbus and help move AHIW toos your percent income tax,

1646
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: help empower families with true universal school choice and opportunity,

1647
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: going to cut the red tape and modernize Ohio's broken

1648
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: government system. There's a lot to be done, and it

1649
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 1: takes bold, committed leaders to get up, get out there

1650
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:27,759
Speaker 1: and get it done.

1651
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:31,919
Speaker 2: Now, I've got advocates for folks getting involved with Central Committee,

1652
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:33,559
Speaker 2: and then I have people who say, oh, the Central

1653
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 2: Committees is a waste of time. We get nothing but

1654
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 2: garbage from them. Do you talk with the Republican Central

1655
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 2: Committee or even the Higo State Republican Party sort of

1656
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 2: via Alex Chreantofilo when you're talking about these different endorsements,

1657
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 2: or you just leave them out of the equation and

1658
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 2: do your own thing.

1659
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 1: Well, it to be clear, we were an independent organization,

1660
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: right and we make our own decisions about the kind

1661
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 1: of the folks we're going to endorse and put our

1662
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 1: Buckeye Blueprint support behind. But we don't. We have a

1663
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 1: lot of coalition partners and so folks from you know.

1664
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 7: The.

1665
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 1: Regular political infrastructure of the county parties, state party political parties,

1666
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 1: to the grassroots organizations and clubs across the state. There

1667
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 1: are a lot of folks who recognize the impact that

1668
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: our activists tot afp Ohio have and they like to

1669
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: share their opinions. At the end of the day, we

1670
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 1: make these decisions based on how we're going to advance

1671
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: our policy agenda, the policy agenda that is built through

1672
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 1: the Buckeye Blueprint listening tours that we do around the

1673
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 1: state to hear from the grassroots activists who want to

1674
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 1: see a Boulder, better Buckeye state for all Ohiolands.

1675
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 2: Great, so you have just established your independence. You are

1676
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 2: not driven by what they tell you to do or

1677
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 2: what they say. You do your own thing. And perhaps

1678
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,960
Speaker 2: then you influence the Central Committee of the Republican Party

1679
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 2: in Ohio through your endorsements, which many would argue you

1680
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 2: have more credibility. All right, moving over, let's talk about

1681
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 2: some of these folks. How about Mike Caho. This is

1682
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,080
Speaker 2: District thirty one with that out. That's outside of Act.

1683
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:05,440
Speaker 1: Right, That's right, it's outside of Akron. Mike is great.

1684
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,720
Speaker 1: He former local elected official school board member. Part of

1685
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: that was a member of Lieutenant Governor Houston's team on

1686
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 1: the Ohio Common Sense Initiative, which is dialed in on

1687
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:20,640
Speaker 1: finding and reforming broken regulations here in the state of

1688
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: how the regulations that hold folks back, and so Mike

1689
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: is a great guy and somebody who when we look

1690
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:30,360
Speaker 1: at cutting red tape and reforming government, I think is

1691
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: going to have a fresh look at these things and

1692
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 1: is driven to see those reforms happen. He's seen the

1693
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 1: problems on the executive side of the equation, and I

1694
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 1: think as a legislator, he's going to help dial in

1695
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: on bills and reforms that are going to help ensure

1696
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: that the power isn't with the bureaucrats and big arcane

1697
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 1: government buildings, but rather with the people, by way of

1698
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 1: the legislature, the folks who are supposed to make the

1699
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: laws that govern our state and our people fair enough.

1700
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:59,160
Speaker 2: Vic Sandhu from Ohio House District thirty five, which looks

1701
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 2: like it's one of these suburbs of the greater Cleveland area,

1702
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,360
Speaker 2: very blue area, But do we have some hope that

1703
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 2: we can sway some of the folks outside of Cleveland.

1704
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 1: Vic's actually a longtime activist with us. He'm a business owner.

1705
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: He opened up a gas station for one of the

1706
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 1: gas price rollbacks we did to highlight the impact of Bidenomics.

1707
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 1: He's somebody who has actually sought us out and it's

1708
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 1: wanted to help understand how he can make an impact

1709
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 1: after hearing our message and being involved a leader in

1710
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:30,000
Speaker 1: his own right. But we're really excited to get behind

1711
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: Vic Sandu, business owner gets school choice and really importantly

1712
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 1: understands that folks shouldn't be forced to pay dues to

1713
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: a union something not a lot of people get.

1714
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, amen to that, my friend, if you might, well,

1715
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 2: we'll pause. We're bringing back talk about the balance of candidates,

1716
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 2: and we'll get the Harry eyeball from Joe for one

1717
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 2: far too over time. It is seven to forty six

1718
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 2: already more with the talk station seven fifty fifty five

1719
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,800
Speaker 2: KERCD talk station Americans for prospec always providing tools for

1720
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 2: you and I to engage in a little baby step

1721
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 2: towards a better future here in Ohio, or you don't

1722
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 2: get actively involved. Anything in between is great from Donovan

1723
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 2: and Hill's perspective, at my perspective. So we're walking through

1724
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,600
Speaker 2: some of the already endorsed candidates for coming up in

1725
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 2: November of next year. We've done District thirty one and

1726
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 2: thirty five. How about Jesse Styles for House District fifty seven.

1727
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 2: I am busily trying to find fifty seven on my

1728
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 2: district map. I can't find it. I understand it's outside

1729
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 2: of Columbus or around Columbus. Am I right on that one.

1730
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 1: Don't go a few hours northeast up to Lake County.

1731
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 1: But you're you're headed in the right direction.

1732
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:39,000
Speaker 2: It's up there north somewhere.

1733
01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 6: There.

1734
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: You go, Yeah, it's well. Jesse's great. He a business

1735
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 1: owner Lake and Lake County father, and you know, and

1736
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,759
Speaker 1: talking with him, He's built a business, He's created jobs,

1737
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 1: he's paid taxes and felt the burdens of red tape

1738
01:35:56,040 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: and regulations and so from education, opportunity for or families

1739
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,759
Speaker 1: again as a father to make sure we get Ohio

1740
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 1: as zero percent income tax to taking a hard look

1741
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: at the red tape and regulations. He's dialed in on

1742
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: the things that we believe are going to help move

1743
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 1: Ohio forward and has the real world experience. So again,

1744
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 1: when you go into those legislative committees, you're not just

1745
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: trying to figure out from the lobbyists what's truth and

1746
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: not truth. You actually have lived it and can pass

1747
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,080
Speaker 1: laws and vote on things and argue in favor of

1748
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: policies they're going to actually unleash opportunity and abundance for

1749
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:35,120
Speaker 1: Ohioans across the state.

1750
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:38,160
Speaker 2: All Right, I regularly describe Columbus as dysfunctional. We have

1751
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 2: State Senator Andrew Brenner running for Ohio House District sixty one.

1752
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 2: I guess he has a record which proves him to

1753
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:46,679
Speaker 2: be worthy of AFP's endorsement.

1754
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Senator Brenner, currently Senator Brenner, hopefully future state Representative

1755
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,800
Speaker 1: Andy Brenner with our support. Andy is one of those

1756
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 1: folks who has been tireless in the trenches for education, opportunity,

1757
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 1: school choice. If there is a number one enemy of

1758
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,680
Speaker 1: the public teachers' unions, it's Andy Brenner. We're proud to

1759
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: stand alongside him with that distinction because he's focused on

1760
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: opportunity outcome. I've been in his office many times talking

1761
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 1: about school choice and education, and he consistently points to

1762
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 1: the amount of money we spend, yet how bad are

1763
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:25,200
Speaker 1: results we get in our public education system. So supports

1764
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: empowering families first and foremost, and I think should he

1765
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,799
Speaker 1: be elected to the state legislature, he's going to continue

1766
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,799
Speaker 1: to work to reform the system in bold, meaningful ways.

1767
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 2: All Right, how about Patty Rocky House District eighty one.

1768
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 2: Where's that one to start with?

1769
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's out in northwest Ohio, replacing current Representative Jim

1770
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 1: Hoops who's term limited out. Patty is a long time

1771
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 1: fixture in northwest Ohio, a local elected official. She has

1772
01:37:54,880 --> 01:38:00,879
Speaker 1: seen the need for local government reform work in northwest

1773
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Ohio in that capacity, So when we look at modernizing

1774
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:07,719
Speaker 1: Ohio government reforming, you know, our state has the sixth

1775
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: most political subdivisions. I think someone like Patty is going

1776
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:13,599
Speaker 1: to be able to come to Columbus and help drive

1777
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: the conversation on what it's going to take to streamline

1778
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 1: this massive amount of government we have at the local level,

1779
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 1: ultimately resulting in lower property taxes and a better return

1780
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,200
Speaker 1: on the taxpayer dollars we all send not to Columbus,

1781
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 1: but just down the street to our County treasurer County

1782
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:32,679
Speaker 1: Auditor's office.

1783
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 2: Sounds like a fairly consistent lineup so far, Donovan. We're

1784
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 2: going to end with Wesleyan Davis, represent or who may

1785
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:40,799
Speaker 2: represent Ohio House District eighty six.

1786
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we supported her last year last cycle in the

1787
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 1: primary election, came up short, but we're proud to stand

1788
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 1: beside her. Again. You know, she's worked with us, another

1789
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 1: one of those folks who's been an activist and a

1790
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: volunteer with us. She's gone to the state House testified

1791
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,639
Speaker 1: in support of school choice and education opportunity and when

1792
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 1: we you know, we remain focused on that issue as

1793
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 1: a top tier priority for us. Wesleyan's somebody we're proud

1794
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,400
Speaker 1: to endorse once again and we'll look forward to being

1795
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: successful in May in her race, ultimately getting her to

1796
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,719
Speaker 1: Columbus so we can we can make sure all child,

1797
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 1: every child, every family has the education opportunity that they're

1798
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: they deserve.

1799
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 2: Fantastic, and she's just she represents the area surrounding Marysville,

1800
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 2: which is at north west of Columbus. So, now, Donovan,

1801
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: the importance to my local listening audience that we mentioned

1802
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 2: these various candidatesrom around the state just to sort of

1803
01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 2: show what you're doing by way of vetting, is there

1804
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 2: some way we can get involved in these seemingly very

1805
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 2: local issues. What's what's the call to action today? Donovan

1806
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 2: and Neil Americans for Prosperity.

1807
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: Call to action is good. At Buckeye blueprint dot com,

1808
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: we have full profiles of each of these candidates, that

1809
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,559
Speaker 1: we've endorsed that you could check out learn more. If

1810
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 1: you want to get involved, there's a way to take

1811
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 1: action there. We'd love to have you join us. It's

1812
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:02,679
Speaker 1: going to take a lot of doors, a lot of calls,

1813
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of volunteer activism to help make this

1814
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 1: these races successful. This is only the first trunch though

1815
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: as well, Brian, we're not done yet. We're announcing these

1816
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: ones now. We'll have more early in twenty twenty six,

1817
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 1: including many races in southwest Ohio that we're looking forward to.

1818
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 1: There's a ton of opportunity in twenty six from the

1819
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 1: state House to the congressional races. AFP AFP Action. Our

1820
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 1: team is going to be involved in all of them,

1821
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 1: and we need your listeners, Brian, to join alongside us.

1822
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 1: Give an hour two hours on a Saturday, knock some doors,

1823
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 1: remind people to get and vote. Because the headwinds are there,

1824
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:44,640
Speaker 1: we've got to push back against the policies and the

1825
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 1: ideas that the Democrats progressives in Washington and Columbus are advancing,

1826
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 1: the big government Republicans alike. But it takes grassroots action

1827
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 1: to make that work.

1828
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 2: Yes, it does, get involved AFP makes it so easy

1852
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 2: but yeah, I know it's crazy.

1853
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:02,240
Speaker 11: Uh.

1854
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 2: That's why I'm really looking forward to that subject with

1855
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 2: Judged Apoloton at the bottom. I hope you can. Well,

1856
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 2: you feel free to call. You're welcome to give me

1857
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:10,160
Speaker 2: a ring if there's something you want to talk about.

1858
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight

1859
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:14,639
Speaker 2: hundred eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty

1860
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:20,000
Speaker 2: on AT and T funds. And I mean, I think

1861
01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:21,720
Speaker 2: about November as that come on the heels of donin

1862
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 2: the Americans for Prosperity talking about the November elections. Already,

1863
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:28,919
Speaker 2: the Republicans are scrambling. They're concerned. Obamacare obviously a problem.

1864
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 2: The you know, the subsidies are disappearing. They came up

1865
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 2: with no solution the other day, and therefore the price

1866
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 2: of Obamacare is going to go up. Oh my god,

1867
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,200
Speaker 2: people are gonna scream, well, gnash teeth, why are the

1868
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:42,759
Speaker 2: prices of Obamacare going to go up? Well, it's because

1869
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 2: it's a poorly created system. It you can't force anybody

1870
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 2: to buy Obamacare. The Supreme Court said that that's a

1871
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 2: good thing. They can't make you engage in commerce, and

1872
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:58,640
Speaker 2: that allowed people who otherwise would have been forced to

1873
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 2: buy Obamacare to not so. The vast majority of people

1874
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 2: signing up for Obamacare are eligible for the subsidies, or

1875
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 2: people who have pre exist in conditions they go over there.

1876
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 2: There's no pre exclusion anymore. That is a massive infusion

1877
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 2: of claims that have to be paid right away. You

1878
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:15,559
Speaker 2: need premium dollars to cover the cost of the claims.

1879
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 2: That's where the premium price comes from. It continues to

1880
01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 2: go up as long as the claims exposure is significant,

1881
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:24,640
Speaker 2: and it is, so, what does the government do? A

1882
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,800
Speaker 2: problem that they created by virtue of Obamacare is then

1883
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 2: passed along to the American taxpayers by virtue of these supplements,

1884
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 2: these tax write offs, you and I are paying for that.

1885
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 2: The premium didn't go anywhere. It isn't more affordable. And

1886
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 2: that's what really, frankly pisses me off when they're having

1887
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 2: discussions about this. Republicans are make in healthcare more expensive. No,

1888
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 2: they're not. Healthcare is just expensive. Generally speaking, Obamacare as

1889
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:53,520
Speaker 2: a policy is bad because of the way it's designed.

1890
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:58,760
Speaker 2: And you can't hide the financial reality by just glossing

1891
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 2: over it by saying no, no, no, you're not going

1892
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 2: to have to pay a premium. Well, that premium is

1893
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 2: still being paid and of course going directly to the

1894
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 2: to the health insurance companies. So you know, that's not

1895
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 2: a product of the Republicans doing It's a product of Obamacare,

1896
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 2: owned exclusively, lockstock and barrel by the Democrats who enacted it.

1897
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 2: So there's that and then the other. So moving away

1898
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 2: from that one as a concern for the Republican Party

1899
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 2: in November inflation and that just really drives me crazy

1900
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 2: that you know, Trump gets the blame for all this inflation,

1901
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to give him a pass for

1902
01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 2: jacking up the national debt multiple trillions of dollars under

1903
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 2: his first term. But who's who's done that on steroids?

1904
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 2: It was the Biden administration near the the Green Deal

1905
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 2: and the COVID relief bills that were passing all this

1906
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:48,720
Speaker 2: infusion of literally trillions of dollars. The law of economics

1907
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 2: applies to applies to the fiat currency as well. The

1908
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 2: more of it out there, the less valuable each and

1909
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 2: every individual dollar is. It's not built on anything. It's

1910
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 2: a federal deserve. Note what does that mean? Well, it's

1911
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 2: good for all debts, publican pride, but what's it backed

1912
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:09,439
Speaker 2: by our reputation anymore. It's not gold, it's not silver,

1913
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 2: it's not something concrete that you can exchange it for.

1914
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 2: So there's that problem. The running of the printing press.

1915
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:18,799
Speaker 2: It d values your currency, meaning you need more dollars

1916
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 2: to buy the loaf of bread than you need it

1917
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 2: before they printed out five to twenty extra trillion dollars

1918
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 2: out there. Fine, and you go to like something like coffee,

1919
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 2: Oh my god, coffee's gone up sixty percent. People are

1920
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 2: actually making it home now. You know, I view that

1921
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 2: as a welcome change. I mean I regularly criticize it.

1922
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm sorry. If this is you. You

1923
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 2: want to go out and have your wonderful and it

1924
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 2: is tasty cup of Starbucks. It comes at significant expense.

1925
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 2: First off, you got to pay a barista who are

1926
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 2: now making twenty plus dollars an now because of mandatory

1927
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 2: minimum wage laws. Who's behind that? Labor costs?

1928
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 6: Right?

1929
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 2: Shipping costs have gone up. I wonder why that is

1930
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 2: going back? And I know price of gases come down.

1931
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,520
Speaker 2: But remember the war on fossil fuels begun under primarily

1932
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,839
Speaker 2: the Obama administration. Right, the price of gas will necessarily increase.

1933
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 2: Did it increase because of the laws of supplying demand? No,

1934
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,680
Speaker 2: We've got an abundant supply out there, as proven by

1935
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:15,720
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's all the above energy strategy, as proven by

1936
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 2: the fact that we're now and that exporter of fossil

1937
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:22,560
Speaker 2: fuels from this country. No, it's out there. The policies

1938
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:25,599
Speaker 2: stood in the way of our access to it, causing

1939
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,800
Speaker 2: the price of yes, gasoline to go up. Well, we

1940
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 2: got to worry about the climate. Why is the price

1941
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 2: of energy more expensive? Ask the folks in Germany about

1942
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 2: that one. Chasing the zero carbon emission of dream out

1943
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:43,960
Speaker 2: there industry is failing. They pay fifty percent more than

1944
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:46,920
Speaker 2: us at kilowat hour in Germany. Then here, why, Well,

1945
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 2: their policies are held a lot worse than ours. Could

1946
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:50,479
Speaker 2: they solve that problem?

1947
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1948
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:56,280
Speaker 2: Quit chasing carbon dioxide, Open a nuclear plant, tap into

1949
01:46:56,320 --> 01:46:58,719
Speaker 2: the resources that are generally around you. That you shut

1950
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:03,599
Speaker 2: down because of what climate change a self inflicted wound

1951
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 2: and inflationary reality ripple effect on that one. The cost

1952
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 2: of shipping anything under that kind of regime is going

1953
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 2: to well force you to have to pay more for

1954
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 2: any good or service to you go out and purchase coffee.

1955
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 2: Prices also impacted beyond what you and I control control.

1956
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 2: Adverse weather has been a real problem. You got drought,

1957
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 2: severe weather hitting major producers like Brazil and Vietnam and

1958
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 2: reducing harvest that's been going on for a while and

1959
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 2: supplying demand less coffee out there. You pay more for it,

1960
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,600
Speaker 2: and then add in all these other issues that go

1961
01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 2: along with it which increase the cost of the coffee price.

1962
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 2: Oh but what about Trump's tariffs? There aren't any tariffs anymore.

1963
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 2: They were lifted in November on Brazil. And how about

1964
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 2: Columbian tariffs, no tariff none as of November, no tariff.

1965
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:02,120
Speaker 2: And then of course vietname coffee. There's no terrif on

1966
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:04,639
Speaker 2: that anymore either. There hasn't been for about a month

1967
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,599
Speaker 2: and a half two months now, So you can take

1968
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 2: evil Orange Man out of the equation on that one.

1969
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,719
Speaker 2: And yes, you're still going to pay more for coffee

1970
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 2: merely because well they're not growing as much as they

1971
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 2: were before. And sorry, it sucks to be us. You

1972
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:20,680
Speaker 2: can't grow coffee here in the United States. But these

1973
01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 2: issues have to be unfolded for people. Otherwise it's just

1974
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 2: I went and paid more at Kroger this week than

1975
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:27,519
Speaker 2: I did now two years ago, and evil Orange Man's

1976
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 2: at fault. No, this has been a building problem over time.

1977
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 2: I mentioned California earlier. Is there a state in the

1978
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 2: Union that's more expensive than California? And why is it

1979
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 2: so expensive in California? I mean people went there for

1980
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 2: the scenery, I suppose, and there's a finite amount of

1981
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 2: land in any given place to build it upon. But

1982
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 2: try to build a home in California. Ask the people

1983
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,559
Speaker 2: whose house is burned down how quickly the permitting process

1984
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:06,759
Speaker 2: is going. The slow regulatory burden that just burns through cash,

1985
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:10,600
Speaker 2: it acts as an impediment. Supply is decreased. Therefore the

1986
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 2: price goes up. Gallon of gas on California fit four

1987
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 2: to fifty, coming up with five dollars a gallon. It's

1988
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,639
Speaker 2: come down for everybody else. Why might that be? Yes,

1989
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 2: all their environmental regulations, the fact that they close down refineries,

1990
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds. These are not inventions of the conservative

1991
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 2: side of the ledger. The deregulate folks like that. I appreciate.

1992
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't care what label they hang on themselves. And

1993
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 2: now are some Republicans are as guilty of this as

1994
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 2: others as Democrats? With ninety nine percent of the time,

1995
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:45,160
Speaker 2: you're a safe bet saying who did this to us? Democrats?

1996
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 2: We do it to ourselves, and then we look around

1997
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,720
Speaker 2: for a demon in the room to blame for the

1998
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:59,760
Speaker 2: policies that were designed to do just this, notably like

1999
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 2: the the green policies, and those wouldn't even be a

2000
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 2: thing if it weren't for you paying for it. Was

2001
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:11,639
Speaker 2: anybody out building windmills and solar panels before the credit

2002
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 2: started rolling in, before the government started incentivizing mass a

2003
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 2: huge major corporations, those evil billionaires to engage in this

2004
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:24,120
Speaker 2: carbon capture nonsense, businesses growing out a whole cloth because

2005
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 2: one minute and time ago, we didn't have carbon capture.

2006
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 2: Next minute you label carbon dioxide plant food a danger

2007
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,799
Speaker 2: to the world, and you have all these carbon capture

2008
01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 2: enterprises and businesses popping up thanks to your taxpayer dollar

2009
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 2: and the federal governments providing tax credits for them to

2010
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:43,639
Speaker 2: engage in economic activity that you and I weren't asking for.

2011
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,880
Speaker 2: How well BV thing work out? For the automobile manufacturers

2012
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 2: for it had to write off nineteen billion dollars because

2013
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 2: of evs. They were losing fifty thousand dollars even in

2014
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 2: spite of a seventy five hundred dollars tax credit that

2015
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:02,639
Speaker 2: you could get for buying one major loss. The European

2016
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:05,799
Speaker 2: Unions now turning its back on their former cafe standards.

2017
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 2: They were going to eradicate the internal combustion engine by

2018
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:11,040
Speaker 2: what twenty thirty or something at no more. We're not

2019
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:14,839
Speaker 2: doing that. Why because it's killed German manufacturing and Italian

2020
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:20,839
Speaker 2: manufacturing as well. They make cars there. It's not difficult

2021
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 2: to find the culprit in this inflationary reality we're dealing with.

2022
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:30,720
Speaker 2: And how this gives the Democrats traction is beyond me.

2023
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,000
Speaker 2: Maybe you have a different theory or thought about it.

2024
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:35,519
Speaker 2: Love to hear from you. Got a little time before

2025
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 2: judge Judge Entitopolotonic comes on at the bottom of the

2030
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 2: five KRC Detalk Station, Happy Wednesday. Another reminder, I mentioned

2031
01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:59,320
Speaker 2: it for the first time. I guess in the last hour.

2032
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:01,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna be a Man Tree Brewery and Blue Ash

2033
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 2: on the seventh of January. And I bring that up only

2034
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 2: because I'm only coming back to work on the fifth Monday,

2035
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 2: the fifth after New Year's Day, so i have two

2036
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 2: days to announce listener lunch. I'm kind of starting a

2037
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 2: little at early the twenty third, my last day on

2038
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 2: the show for the calendar year, and I'm looking forward.

2039
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 2: If you're out there, Rob Ryder, I love having him

2040
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 2: in studio with his guitar to celebrate Christmas and put

2041
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:23,479
Speaker 2: a smile on everybody's face. Hopefully at least mine will

2042
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 2: be smiling. So I segue into a glorious Christmas holiday.

2043
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred and

2044
01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:31,639
Speaker 2: eight two three talk. Let's see what Dennis has got

2045
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 2: this morning. Dennis, thanks for calling in. Welcome to the show.

2046
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:35,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, my pleasure.

2047
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:40,759
Speaker 13: Say we had Do you remember the reign of quainton

2048
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 13: Nell Server here in Cincinnati with the preferred Developer program.

2049
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,479
Speaker 13: This is where they would take confiscate parking garages and

2050
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 13: everything that kept the industry and the business is going

2051
01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 13: in downtown and then passing them on over to preferred developers.

2052
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 13: For example, Fountain Square West, we're going to get a

2053
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:04,040
Speaker 13: thirteen or fifteen story building, and we end up back

2054
01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 13: with a four story building and out one hundred and

2055
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:10,719
Speaker 13: some million dollars That was applied to the West Coast

2056
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,879
Speaker 13: pretty much universally, to where nobody really owns their property

2057
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 13: or can develop their property, or even use the property

2058
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:23,720
Speaker 13: with the facility is already in place. That kind of

2059
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 13: corruption has altered everything to where the public doesn't have

2060
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 13: much of us.

2061
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:32,720
Speaker 14: Say, but anybody that's got a good bride by one

2062
01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 14: way or another, whether it's wrapped in aluminum foil and

2063
01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 14: stuck in some congressman's refrigerator or freezer or other means

2064
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:45,559
Speaker 14: of indirect payments completely corrupted this system in the United.

2065
01:53:45,360 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 2: States, Well yeah, I mean, my favorite is going back

2066
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:50,240
Speaker 2: to the bomb administration with the Green New Deal stuff,

2067
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,799
Speaker 2: when they hand the selected energy companies that were supposed

2068
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:57,599
Speaker 2: to provide these great technologies to US billions and millions

2069
01:53:57,640 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 2: and billions of dollars flowing out to hand as elected

2070
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 2: companies that ended up in many cases failing right. They

2071
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:08,120
Speaker 2: didn't work, and yet they got the money. How is

2072
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 2: it that they're you know, they got to prove for

2073
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,360
Speaker 2: technology and they got millions and millions of dollars of

2074
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:15,839
Speaker 2: tax payer money. It failed miserably. This is what happens,

2075
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,919
Speaker 2: you know, go locally to connected communities, dentnis. That dictates

2076
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:22,599
Speaker 2: the terms of the type of architecture you can build

2077
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:24,559
Speaker 2: and the size of the scope of the houses that

2078
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:26,639
Speaker 2: you can build in the city. Say, it's a change

2079
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 2: in zoning laws, effectively, but what does it do? They

2080
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 2: want denser urban housing, They want a whole lot of

2081
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 2: people to be concentrated in small environment. You can't have

2082
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 2: that when you have free land ownership and the free

2083
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:38,720
Speaker 2: right to build whatever you damn well please in terms

2084
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 2: of your residence. This extends out over all areas of

2085
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:44,560
Speaker 2: government dentists, and there it is right in front of

2086
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 2: you for all to see. The problem is that people

2087
01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 2: apparently just forget about all that when they go into

2088
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 2: the booth like I hate evil orange man, I'm going

2089
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 2: to vote for more of what brought me to this

2090
01:54:53,640 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 2: parallels position. I don't is it stupidity out there? I

2091
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:08,200
Speaker 2: don't think I think the average human being can handle

2092
01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 2: and understand these concepts. It's just that nobody bothers explaining

2093
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 2: them to them, or they're just not willing to take

2094
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 2: the time to look behind the veneer of something as

2095
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:24,960
Speaker 2: simple as a meme or evil orange man. But unless

2096
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:29,040
Speaker 2: you're wed to this whole woke leftist communism philosophy and

2097
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 2: you really truly believe that that works, that it just

2098
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 2: hasn't been done right yet, you're a useful idiot. And

2099
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:43,160
Speaker 2: the power brokers of the world that we always talk about,

2100
01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:45,800
Speaker 2: you know, now it seems that the major power workers,

2101
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 2: these evil billionaires, have all become kind of left wing democrats,

2102
01:55:49,200 --> 01:55:51,400
Speaker 2: haven't they. Why Because they're the ones that get the

2103
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 2: large s that we're just talking about. They're the ones

2104
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 2: that get hands selected by the administration. And look what

2105
01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 2: happens after years of doing that and get Donald Trump

2106
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Speaker 2: back in office, and oh look, all the evil billionaires,

2107
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 2: notably the tech evil billionaires, all show up on Trump's door,

2108
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 2: shaking his hand, wishing him luck, and then changing their

2109
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 2: minds because well, a solar panel ain't gonna power my

2110
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:19,840
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence facility, nor will a windmill. I need a

2111
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 2: small nuclear reactor, something that the left hated is a

2112
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:24,720
Speaker 2: concept in spite of the fact that it's carbon neutral,

2113
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 2: and I know I say it all the time, but

2114
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 2: now they want them. Why because it's going to help them.

2115
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 2: We need to expedite the licensing process for SMRs because well,

2116
01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 2: we need artificial intelligence. We the evil billionaires of the

2117
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:41,720
Speaker 2: world that used to be hated by the left because

2118
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:44,960
Speaker 2: they tended to be Republicans who used to be pro business. Well,

2119
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 2: whoever's in office, that's who's going to get the favor

2120
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 2: from all the wealthy money class out there. We are

2121
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 2: just sheeple that are well going to follow the path

2122
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:57,080
Speaker 2: of whatever the administration goes down. Thankfully, this current administration

2123
01:56:57,240 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 2: is an all the above strategy with regard to energy,

2124
01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 2: which will be down inflation because it won't be as

2125
01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:06,640
Speaker 2: expensive to power fill in the blank. Eight twenty five.

2126
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 2: Right now, let's get judge, added Apolaitano on the phone.

2127
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:13,320
Speaker 2: He's got a great article this night. He's coming out tonight,

2128
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:15,640
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson and the freedom of speech. We'll get to

2129
01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:17,920
Speaker 2: judge the Politano next. I hope you can stick around

2130
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:19,240

Speaker 4: What's the advanced surgical options for complex liver and pancreatic

2132
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 4: cancers and clinical trials you won't find anywhere else. Got

2133
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:30,760

2140
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 4: segment for twenty twenty five, So just wanted to take

2141
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:56,080
Speaker 4: a moment to wish the judge a very merry Christmas

2142
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:57,160
Speaker 4: and happy new Year.

2143
01:57:57,440 --> 01:58:00,640

2144
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 2: Chuck Ingram fifty five KRC the Talk station. A kind

2145
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:08,840
Speaker 2: sentiment there from Chuck Ingram to Judge Nita Polton. Of

2146
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 2: course every Wednesday, here at this hour and this time

2147
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,520
Speaker 2: of hour we talk with Judge Na Polatan. I love

2148
01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:16,960
Speaker 2: having him on the program. Judge and a Polatona, welcome

2149
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 2: back and yes from my listening audience in.

2150
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 9: Meeting Brian, good morning, Joe, Chuck. Thank you very much,

2151
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:26,240
Speaker 9: you know for all of our busting his chops. That

2152
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 9: was a very sincere, moving and lovely comment, and I'm

2153
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:31,640
Speaker 9: deeply grateful, and I can't wait for the day when

2154
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 9: I can actually meet him and see what he looks like.

2155
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:35,680
Speaker 2: I know maybe twenty six will be the year we

2156
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:38,240
Speaker 2: can pull that off. Judge and Polatona, you know, it's

2157
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 2: a welcome ight, it's a welcome idea. You bring it

2158
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 2: up all the time. I, of course, you can't wait

2159
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:43,720
Speaker 2: for the day that happens. And I've talked to Chuck

2160
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 2: Ingram a bunch of times. He always gets really excited

2161
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:48,920
Speaker 2: about the concept. So maybe this will be the year.

2162
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, you know, I always love

2163
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 2: your column comes out tonight Midnight Tucker Carlson and the

2164
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:56,800
Speaker 2: Freedom of Speech. I always love it. You do make

2165
01:58:56,840 --> 01:59:00,080
Speaker 2: great points. You always back it with constitutional background, you

2166
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:04,760
Speaker 2: know what the framers intended. This one I was particularly

2167
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:08,800
Speaker 2: taken with because I almost and that this is an overstatement,

2168
01:59:08,840 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 2: but I almost feel embarrassed that Chuck Schumer is even

2169
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 2: advancing this as a concept because of how batcrap insane

2170
01:59:15,720 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 2: it is and how much it flies in the face

2171
01:59:17,200 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 2: of the First Amendment. Let's talk about this. What the

2172
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 2: hell is going on?

2173
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 9: So Senator Schumer, who is the leader of the Democrats

2174
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 9: in the United States Senate, introduced a resolution in behalf

2175
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:34,000
Speaker 9: of himself and forty Democratic senators, which is nearly all

2176
01:59:34,040 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 9: of them, it's forty seven of them, to condemn Tucker

2177
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 9: Carlson for something he did not say on his show.

2178
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 9: You got that right. He had this character who offends

2179
01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 9: a lot of people and says a lot of horrible things,

2180
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 9: but he's, you know, the type of person we put

2181
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:55,840
Speaker 9: on these shows because people want to hear him. Nick

2182
01:59:55,880 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 9: Flint is who said some things that Schumber and company

2183
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:04,520
Speaker 9: didn't like, And so they've actually offered a resolution which

2184
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 9: will be a sense of the Senate condemning Tucker Carlson

2185
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:13,879
Speaker 9: for failure quote to push back close quote. That's actually

2186
02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:19,760
Speaker 9: the phrase from the resolution against this guy, Nick Fuent is. Now,

2187
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:22,720
Speaker 9: this is a sense of the Senate. It doesn't go

2188
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:27,640
Speaker 9: to the House. It's not legislation, it doesn't have the

2189
02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 9: force of law, but it's the time of it's the

2190
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:37,760
Speaker 9: type of unconstitutional nonsense, of betrayal of basic First Amendment

2191
02:00:37,880 --> 02:00:42,840
Speaker 9: principles that the Congress will occasionally get involved in if

2192
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 9: there's speech out there or silence out there that they

2193
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:50,880
Speaker 9: hate or fear. It's simply reprehensible they're doing it. In fact,

2194
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 9: when my producer said to me, hey, Judge, you won't

2195
02:00:53,720 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 9: believe what Chuck Schumer, whose office is right across the

2196
02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 9: street from where I am now, his New York City office,

2197
02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:01,400
Speaker 9: and sometimes I see him in the streets and we chat.

2198
02:01:01,680 --> 02:01:03,800
Speaker 9: You won't believe what Chuck Schumer's up to. Next, I

2199
02:01:03,800 --> 02:01:05,920
Speaker 9: didn't believe the producer, and I made him get me

2200
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:07,600
Speaker 9: a copy of this, and he gave it to me,

2201
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:10,080
Speaker 9: and I read it, and I was furious, and I

2202
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 9: banged out that column.

2203
02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:14,960
Speaker 2: I said, well, first off, let me observe. I guess

2204
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:17,320
Speaker 2: they don't have anything to do before they go on

2205
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,480
Speaker 2: Christmas break that they have time to put forward a

2206
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:25,120
Speaker 2: sense of the Senate motion, which has no impact, no force,

2207
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:28,040
Speaker 2: and effective law. It's a pointless gesture and it's a

2208
02:01:28,040 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 2: bunch of wheel spinning for the purpose of I guess

2209
02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:33,280
Speaker 2: grand standing politically. But I feel embarrassed for him for

2210
02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:35,080
Speaker 2: doing this for the reasons that you point out in

2211
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:37,880
Speaker 2: the article. This is a chilling effect on speech. It's

2212
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:41,280
Speaker 2: laughable as a concept. But this is not their role.

2213
02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:44,720
Speaker 2: Their role is to enforce the Constitution and protect and

2214
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:48,160
Speaker 2: defend it. That Tucker Carlson has a nut job. Maybe

2215
02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:51,080
Speaker 2: on the program that's his right. Maybe his ratings will

2216
02:01:51,160 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 2: drop off because he got the wrong people on. That's

2217
02:01:53,240 --> 02:01:55,800
Speaker 2: for us to decide, much like we can evaluate the

2218
02:01:55,880 --> 02:01:58,160
Speaker 2: speech that that guy or anybody else's uttering.

2219
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:02,880
Speaker 9: You used a fascinating constitutional phrase and I want to

2220
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 9: dwell on it for.

2221
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 10: Just a moment.

2222
02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:11,840
Speaker 9: Chilling Chilling is government behavior which gives speakers pause or

2223
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:17,880
Speaker 9: second thoughts or fear before they articulate what their thoughts are,

2224
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:22,080
Speaker 9: for fear that some something in the government will happen

2225
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:26,400
Speaker 9: to them. It is profoundly unconstitutional for the government to

2226
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:30,080
Speaker 9: behave to engage in behavior that's chilling. The very famous

2227
02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:35,280
Speaker 9: case where Jagor Hoover sent to FBI agents within those days,

2228
02:02:35,320 --> 02:02:38,280
Speaker 9: cameras where big old fashioned things with flashbulbs if you

2229
02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 9: remember those, to put them in the face of war

2230
02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:48,760
Speaker 9: protesters and snap pictures. That's chilling, the government literally figuratively

2231
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:53,560
Speaker 9: and literally in your face, giving you pause or second

2232
02:02:53,640 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 9: thoughts before you express a political opinion, in this case

2233
02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:02,920
Speaker 9: on the Vietnam War. Fast forward to today, and chilling

2234
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:06,760
Speaker 9: is a little bit more sophisticated. But just as terrifying.

2235
02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:07,000
Speaker 7: Now.

2236
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 9: I know Tucker Carlson, he's not going to be chilled

2237
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:15,440
Speaker 9: by this at all, But other people lacking his backbone

2238
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 9: and his megaphone might be chilled by a Congress that

2239
02:03:21,080 --> 02:03:24,520
Speaker 9: picks and chooses which speech it likes and which speech

2240
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:28,320
Speaker 9: it hates, and can the speech it hates. The First

2241
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:34,640
Speaker 9: Amendment prohibits, absolutely prohibits the government from evaluating the content

2242
02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:38,000
Speaker 9: of political speech and acting upon that evaluation.

2243
02:03:38,760 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 2: Well and seeing to me, there's a lot of that

2244
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 2: going on during the COVID time when we had FBI

2245
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 2: agents establishing offices in social media platforms and telling you

2246
02:03:47,240 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 2: and I what we can and cannot say and edit

2247
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 2: it and excising certain comments. They can't do that either.

2248
02:03:54,160 --> 02:03:58,720
Speaker 9: Correct, correct, So this is just reprehensible. The Democrats are

2249
02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:03,839
Speaker 9: doing this, I think, and you just alluded to this, Brian.

2250
02:04:03,960 --> 02:04:04,920
Speaker 2: It's all political.

2251
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:07,880
Speaker 9: Schumer wants to see if he can force the Republicans

2252
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:12,920
Speaker 9: to cast a vote which he will then characterize as

2253
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:16,520
Speaker 9: pro Nick Flint, as that's the young man that Tucker

2254
02:04:16,560 --> 02:04:21,360
Speaker 9: put on the show, and he can then paint the

2255
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:26,440
Speaker 9: Republicans in the Senate with the excesses and absurdities and

2256
02:04:26,520 --> 02:04:32,920
Speaker 9: even horribles that Flintes has articulated. So Tucker runs, as

2257
02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:38,240
Speaker 9: you say, a private company. It is the second most

2258
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:42,040
Speaker 9: watched podcast in the United States of America. He can

2259
02:04:42,080 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 9: put whoever the hell he wants on his show, and

2260
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:47,160
Speaker 9: he can say or not say, whatever the hell he

2261
02:04:47,240 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 9: wants on his show. The Congress be damned.

2262
02:04:51,080 --> 02:04:52,880
Speaker 2: All right, I have to pivot. I want to get

2263
02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 2: your thoughts on this because it seems like the stars

2264
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 2: are aligning, but not in a very good way.

2265
02:04:57,120 --> 02:04:58,800
Speaker 9: And I hope you're not going to ask me about

2266
02:04:58,920 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow.

2267
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:02,320
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I don't want to go that gloom

2268
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 2: and doom. We're trying to have a positive spin on

2269
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:07,080
Speaker 2: the Morning show here, so less gloom and doomy than

2270
02:05:07,120 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 2: that is. Bombs dropping on Venezuela. So we have the

2271
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:14,600
Speaker 2: the designation of narco terrorism, and that provided a vehicle

2272
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump to drop bombs on boats. We've talked

2273
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:19,760
Speaker 2: about that. Look, narco terrorists, they got drugs, blow them up,

2274
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 2: they're narco terraces. Then you have fentanyl, ventyl has been

2275
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 2: declared a weapon of mass destruction. And then just yesterday

2276
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:31,200
Speaker 2: I believe it was Venezuela has been the regime of

2277
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:35,400
Speaker 2: Venezuela has been designated a foreign terrorist organization, So are

2278
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:38,080
Speaker 2: we going to get the whole that's a foreign terrorist organization.

2279
02:05:38,240 --> 02:05:41,160
Speaker 2: They have WMDs so we can drop bombs on them.

2280
02:05:41,200 --> 02:05:44,760
Speaker 2: Is that the next phase here, Judge Ennapolto Probably.

2281
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 9: And it's all about oil. It's all about oil. Donald

2282
02:05:49,400 --> 02:05:55,120
Speaker 9: Trump's own Drug Enforcement Administration. Go to their website. Venezuela

2283
02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 9: is not an exporter of cocaine or fence and all.

2284
02:05:59,120 --> 02:06:01,520
Speaker 9: There was a time it was an export of cocaine,

2285
02:06:01,560 --> 02:06:05,720
Speaker 9: hasn't done it in years. This is all a oil,

2286
02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:09,680
Speaker 9: a facade and quick draw repeat, just wants to kill people.

2287
02:06:09,720 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 9: He doesn't give the president any resistance whatsoever. Referred to

2288
02:06:13,480 --> 02:06:16,200
Speaker 9: my former colleague, and I guess after what I've been

2289
02:06:16,200 --> 02:06:19,280
Speaker 9: saying form a friend of Pete Eggs Seth.

2290
02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:23,040
Speaker 2: So the oil and we've done any a blocking of

2291
02:06:23,080 --> 02:06:25,879
Speaker 2: Venezuelan oil tankers, so it's beyond just the one we captured.

2292
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:29,960
Speaker 2: It's all Venezuelan oil tankers. Arguing that his he illegally

2293
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:32,640
Speaker 2: confiscated the oil companies because they did go full on

2294
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:35,720
Speaker 2: socialism with his election, which means, yeah, Chevron, sorry sucks

2295
02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:38,120
Speaker 2: to be you. You invested in the country new regime. They

2296
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:40,400
Speaker 2: took your property from you. This happens all the time

2297
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:44,440
Speaker 2: with regime changes like that, but it's more about regime

2298
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:47,680
Speaker 2: change with Maduro because if you cut off the practically

2299
02:06:47,680 --> 02:06:51,000
Speaker 2: the loan source of income he has oil sales, then

2300
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:53,000
Speaker 2: his regime is going to collapse.

2301
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:56,920
Speaker 9: Well, this is going to have an effect that Donald

2302
02:06:56,920 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 9: Trump may not want because his biggest customer is in Beijing.

2303
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:05,800
Speaker 9: I don't think they're just going to sit back idly

2304
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:08,880
Speaker 9: while these ships are not allowed to go through the

2305
02:07:08,920 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 9: Panama Canal. I just don't think so. I don't know

2306
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:18,680
Speaker 9: what's going to happen next. Yesterday the United States Senate

2307
02:07:19,080 --> 02:07:21,240
Speaker 9: tell me if you think World War III is coming, Brian.

2308
02:07:21,640 --> 02:07:25,560
Speaker 9: Yesterday the United States Senate voted an absurd They didn't

2309
02:07:25,600 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 9: vote on it. They debated an absurd resolution offered by

2310
02:07:28,560 --> 02:07:34,000
Speaker 9: Senator Lindsey Graham to declare the Russian government state sponsors

2311
02:07:34,040 --> 02:07:34,800
Speaker 9: of terrorism.

2312
02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:35,200
Speaker 2: These are the.

2313
02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:39,480
Speaker 9: People we're trying to negotiate with. As Senator Ranpaul said,

2314
02:07:39,520 --> 02:07:44,720
Speaker 9: we have sixteen thousand literally sanctions on the Russian government,

2315
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 9: the Russian people, Russian society is sixteen thousand and one

2316
02:07:49,080 --> 02:07:52,040
Speaker 9: going to make a difference. Why are we doing this?

2317
02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:54,520
Speaker 9: What are we going to accomplish by it? At the

2318
02:07:54,520 --> 02:07:59,200
Speaker 9: same time, Trump said he may seize some Russian tankers.

2319
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:02,600
Speaker 9: Good luck, their navy is bigger than ours.

2320
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:07,400
Speaker 2: Lots of complicating factors in that one. We now brought

2321
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 2: the Russians and the Chinese into the situation off the

2322
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:12,920
Speaker 2: coast of Venezuela. Well, at least it's better than talking

2323
02:08:12,920 --> 02:08:17,920
Speaker 2: about Joe Burrow from a happy sad standpoint. Judge Innapolitano,

2324
02:08:18,680 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 2: I think he's got one foot out the door. Parenthetically,
