Jeez, I got the whole thing 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: backload at eight o'clock hour. I don't have a single 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: guest until eight oh five, and then I got like 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: nine of them along with a warning from Streker when 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: I woke up this morning on text, got to be 17 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: painfully aware that the eight o'clock hours packed, so don't 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: screw around. So I will endeavor not to screw around. Joe, 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: just be kind of cool if one of those could 20 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: have been of the seven o'clock hour. But whatever, inside 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: scoop at Brightbart News, it is Tuesday. Bry Barton News 22 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: Border News Director Brandon Darby are going to be doing 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: an Empower Youth seminar tonight seven pm. Poweruamerica dot Org 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: for that. Got a lot of immigration news in the 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: stack this morning. Daniel Davis steved I have plenty to 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: talk about with Daniel Davis, retired lieutenant colonel, usually talking 27 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: about war, but we've got this Security Council, the UN 28 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: Security Council actually embracing the Donald Trump proposal, with China 29 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: and Russia not vetoing it. What let's see here. France 30 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: President of Manuel Macron has agreed over the next decade 31 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: to allow Ukraine to purchase, which is an interesting word. 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: Does Ukraine even have an economy anymore? Anyway, purchase around 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: one hundred fighter jets along with their associated weapons again 34 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: over the next decade, suggesting that maybe this might have 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: some measure of leverage for negotiating peace. I doubt it, 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: just my initial reaction anyway, And of course Ukrainians still 37 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: demanding Tomahawk mischills as the Russian forces intensify and take 38 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: over more Land. Topics to deal with with Daniel Davis 39 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: at eight thirty, followed by eight forty Dan Claire Communications 40 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: director for Disabled American Veterans finding jobs for disabled vets. 41 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: You can do that, and finally asked the expert. We 42 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: got John Roman from cover since he at the tail 43 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: end of the program, stuffed into the last five minutes, 44 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: and if I don't have a well welled eight o'clock hour, 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: John may not get any time. Which is the challenge 46 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred 47 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: and eighty two to three talk pound fight fifty on 48 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: at and T phones. I'd never been to a bourbon 49 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: distillery tour, and I know you don't care, but I 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: thought it was rather interesting if you're looking for something 51 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: to do. Obviously, the bourbon trail is just right in 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: the Greater Cincinati backyard and had a really cool It 53 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: was cool. Not a huge bourbon guy, you know, kind 54 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: of developing my bourbon taste, but just seeing the distillery. 55 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: We went to Castle and Key Distillery, and the story 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: behind that place is just absolutely amazing. The number of 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: years of the different ownerships over the time, the fact 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: that it was bought in the early it was around 59 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, so the place hasn't been fully up in 60 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: operational for that long. It was a dilapidated twenty four 61 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: building complex that had previously operated as a distillery. All 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: of the building's roofs had been deteriorated and they were gone, 63 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: so waters coming in all over the place. Kudzeus go 64 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: to run the whole thing. Some visionary decided he was 65 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: going to turn it back into a distillery, and wow, 66 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: what an amazing business turnaround. It's one of the top 67 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: distillery tours I think in the world, if I remember 68 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: the notes correctly from our private tour, was really exceptional, 69 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: and props to my friends. We all went. It was 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: three couples, just had a really amazing time. I say 71 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: that because it was an interesting manufacturing process, and the 72 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: love and the labor that goes into manufacturing that bourbon, 73 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: and the amount of time it has to sit around 74 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: before you can even sell it is it's just really remarkable. 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: So consider doing that if you like seeing manufacturing operations 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: generally speaking, even if you're not a Bourbon fan. Like 77 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: I said, it's right there. It took us an hour 78 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: and a half to get to Frankfurt. So there you 79 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: have it. Over to the General Trump rallying the Security 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Council on Gaza. This is really an interesting development. Maybe 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: the United Nations isn't as useless as it so often shows. 82 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: They write on Monday, Security Council endorsed President Trump's twenty 83 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: point piece plan for Gaza, ratifying for the first time 84 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: the requirements that Hamas disarm and that Gaza be demilitarized. 85 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: Not exactly a big popular thing for the Hamas folks, 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: but this is where they've been back into the court 87 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: or the resolution pass thirteen to nothing, Russia and China abstained. 88 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: Maybe worthy the US jaunt the Security Council would come 89 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: at a price of bending the peace plans terms for 90 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: Hamas or adding anti Israeli terms e g. Wood Francis, 91 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macrone, elbow his way to the deal's implementation with 92 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: Russia and China, transform the Trump initiative to another UN 93 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: peacekeeping boondoggle. Nope, not this time, and credit goes to 94 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: Trump and you, Ambassador Mike Wallas, apparently for flexing US 95 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: diplomatic muscle, which, at least the Journal credits were the 96 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: only reason that this text, which detracts nothing from the 97 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: original Trump twenty points, could get through. Waltz calls it 98 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: the most pro Israel Security Council resolution in decades, comically 99 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: noting by the Journal that's a low bar. But consider 100 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: the point. This resolution doesn't pretend there is currently a 101 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: Palestinian state. It doesn't demand a risky Israeli withdrawal from 102 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: the WESTBND in East Jerusalem at the expulsion of every 103 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: Jew living there. It doesn't prejudice negotiations by specifying final 104 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: borders on nineteen sixty seven lines. And it doesn't condition 105 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: progress in Gods on the creation of a Palestinian state, 106 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: which it treats instead as a highly contingent event of 107 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: its own. Hmm, what does that mean? The resolution, like 108 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: Trump's twenty point plan, says, if the Palestinian authority undergoes 109 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: a stringent course of reform and deradicalization laid out by 110 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: Trump in his first term quote, the conditions may finally 111 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self 112 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: determination and statehood. In other words, the time to talk 113 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: about statehood is when such a state would cease to 114 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: be a mortal threat to Israel. You know, I'm just 115 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: kind of reminded of the Abraham Pieterer gorge. Why don't 116 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: we all try to play along nicely together for our 117 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: own benefit? You know, the world's moving forward. We could 118 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: all be this massive economic powerhouse. We just quit shooting 119 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: at each other. Resolution authorizes Israel's presence in Gaza in 120 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: a Gaza buffer zone more and more correctly, and conditions 121 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: the Palestinian authorities administration of Gaza until it can securely 122 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: and effectively take back control of Gaza. It should be 123 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: understood as a requirement that the Palestinian authority be capable 124 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: of restraining a moss and wanted by the people of 125 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: Gaza it isn't currently, rather than parachuted in and imposed 126 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: upon them. It all sounds sensible, and it doesn't sound 127 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: like the UN, which in September was saying the exact 128 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: opposite via a non binding General Assembly resolution. That was 129 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: when pressure on Israel is at its peak, but no longer. 130 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: Monday Bloomberg headline declared Israel is a market's favorite. Germany 131 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: also lifted its partial arms embargo. Israel defense firms are 132 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: racking up record deals to export abroad. Yes, no longer 133 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: any embargoes or sanctions against Israel. Everybody started to play 134 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: along nicely again. The way to tell the UN has 135 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: done something out of character is that Hamas has issued 136 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: a statement condemning the resolution, in particular Harmasa announced quote. 137 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: The Palestinian factions also stress their rejection of any clause 138 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: related to disarming Gaza. They're not on board Israel leader 139 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: Benjamin that Nowho and mister Trump are no longer the 140 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: only ones insisting on that. In other words, the disarming 141 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: by not disarming amasa's in continuing breach of the agreement, 142 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: holding up the reconstruction of Gaza and the rest. Now 143 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: the end with the question is what Trump is willing 144 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: to do about it if phase two of his plan 145 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: isn't working. They suggested in the Bravery to call it quits, 146 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: as the peace processors of old never could. But it's 147 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: a great development. I would think I have zero faith 148 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: in the UN. I'm on record a million times wondering 149 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: why the hell we continue to involve ourselves with it 150 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: when it seems to be merely an arm of propping 151 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: up terrorist organizations like Hamas. Certainly no friend of the 152 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: United States. I mean, if you think of all the 153 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: third world countries and how the UN is made up 154 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: a little bit jealous of our success, just as Scooch, 155 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: there is that out there in the world. But I 156 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: haven't in my lifetime, I really haven't seen the UN 157 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: accomplished much at all. And noting the number of genocides 158 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: that have gone on in the world, I think about 159 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton in the genocide in Africa, and oh 160 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: my god, I really wish I could have done something 161 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: about the three hundred thousand people slaughtered. And I always 162 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: ask back then, where in the hell is the UN. 163 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: Aren't they supposed to be in a position to do 164 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: something about these challenges in the world. Nope, always seem 165 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: to fail us. But they are more than willing to 166 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: take our check to keep the place open and running. 167 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: So we'll see if this holds. But you know, in 168 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: terms of foreign policy, you can hate Donald Trump all 169 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: day long. And I am still taking a standoff approach 170 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: on this nonsense going on with us in Venezuela. Considering 171 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: there's been no congressional action, no authorization to use the 172 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: military force. Is he getting into a war without a 173 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: declaration of war? All that bothers me and concerns me 174 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: by way of foreign policy. But in so far as 175 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Middle East foreign policy is concerned, and if it may 176 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: not be perfect, but I would argue with significant progress. 177 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: First term demonstrated that with the Abraham Accords, and the second 178 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: term is demonstrating that as well. So keep your fingers 179 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: crossed and you're in my lifetime. We may very well 180 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: see some sort of resolved peace in the Middle East. Yeah. 181 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: I know that's a big, big, big ask, but maybe 182 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: at least we're in a position to be somewhat optimistic 183 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: about it given these current developments five sixteen. Right now, 184 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: feel free to call. I don't have anything in particular 185 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: to dive on into coming up to do you with 186 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: the stack of stupid local stories?

Anyhow, 198 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: it's going to the phones five on three seven two 199 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: three Talk Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday, Hey. 200 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 4: Happy Tuesday, Brian, welcome back. Thanks, Hey, Hey, I wrapped 201 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: up my numbers. Being a numbers guy, I was trying 202 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: to call in every day and give everybody the update 203 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 4: on how much money we theoretically could have saved during 204 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: the shutdown. And the point is how little this government 205 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: has impacted your day in, day out whenever it's shut down, 206 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 4: which I think is the best way to pay off 207 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: the national debt. Is we can't trust them to show 208 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 4: up and not spend money, so just shut it down 209 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 4: and don't spend any money. 210 00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 5: Theoretically. 211 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 4: The way I come up with this real quick is 212 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 4: I take the one point seven trillion dollars per year, 213 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 4: which is discretionary spending out of a seven trillion dollar budget. 214 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 4: By that by three sixty five gives you dollars per day, 215 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 4: and then I multiplied that times forty three days of 216 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 4: the shutdown. It came up with two hundred billion dollars, 217 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 4: which is a lot of money. Now, one of the 218 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: things I would one of the things I would do 219 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: is to try to put it into a frame of references. 220 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 4: I would try to figure out, like, you know, how 221 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: much is the Department of Education's annual budget, which I 222 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: think was around two hundred billion dollars, So you know, 223 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: we could maybe like fund the whole Department of Education. 224 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: I was shocked to find as I was looking at 225 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 4: the budget for each one of these federal departments with 226 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: unelected bureaucrafts, HHS is one point eight trillion dollars per 227 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 4: year on a seven trillion dollar federal budget. 228 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: That's insanity. 229 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 4: Which so what that means is we saved two hundred 230 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 4: billion dollars on discretionary spend during the shutdown. We would 231 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: have to do that a thousand times, be shut down 232 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: forty three thousand days in order to pay for one 233 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 4: year of HHS budget, And which tells me and tells 234 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 4: all the listeners, we don't pay off this debt until 235 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 4: we get AHHS under control, and because it's about a 236 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 4: third of the total federal government. So that's one point. 237 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: The other quick point I want to make is I 238 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 4: heard Speaker Johnson yesterday talk about that now that the 239 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: shutdown is done, we can get air traffic controllers and 240 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: ice and on our armed services and the US farmers paid, 241 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: and I thought, wait a second, I think he said 242 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 4: the quiet part out loud as they say, are we 243 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 4: just now to consider that US farmers are are are 244 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 4: are federal workers. 245 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 6: We have we arrived where the US. 246 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 4: Farmer is no longer part of the free market economy, 247 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: and they are pumped in with federal workers. 248 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: I guess during the way that the farm budget is 249 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: managed and the mandates on you know, corn production rather 250 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: than you know, something else, the edicts and the limitations 251 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: they place on farmers. I mean, it's a very difficult 252 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: industry to run. But I guess I'm wondering when he 253 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: said paid, what specifically was he referring to. Was this 254 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: a subsidy or because contextually speaking, no, I didn't think 255 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: the American farmers were receiving paychecks from the federal government 256 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: to the extent they're dealing with their tax issues or 257 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: getting subsidies or you know. I guess I'm kind of 258 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: in dark on that concept, Jay, I'll be quite frank 259 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: with you. 260 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he meant subsidies. But whenever he's talking 261 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: armed services, federal workers, air traffic controller, federal workers, TSA, 262 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 4: federal workers, and then he threw the farmers in there, 263 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: which breaks my heart for the farmers. But I think 264 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 4: it is the truth that without these federal subsidies, I 265 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 4: think that is the largest part, unfortunately, of the US 266 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: farmers paycheck is coming out of the federal government. And 267 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 4: I think Speaker Johnson put it out there in the 268 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: public with this comment yesterday. 269 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: I guess some kind of one, you know, considering that 270 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: food is probably one of the most important things that 271 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: is manufactured, grown, or otherwise produced. We all have to eat, 272 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: right there is a built in demand that is literally 273 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: never going to go away. So upon what twisted logic 274 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: is it that the American farmer has to survive by 275 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: the with the government largest considering everyone in the world 276 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: wants the products. I know it's a simplistic way of 277 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: viewing it, but why has it gotten so fouled up 278 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: that these edicts and mandates and regulations are so inextricably 279 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: intertwined with the American farmer. I don't get it. 280 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 4: Here's what I heard. Here's what I heard years ago 281 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 4: was that after the dust ball, like nineteen seventy, the 282 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 4: dust ball was about thirty forty years in the rear 283 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 4: view mirror, and there was starting to be some talk 284 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: in the federal government about why are we continuing to. 285 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 7: Have this farm bill? 286 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 4: Farmers are back on their feet, And then there was 287 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: an unholy alliance. If you notice, the farm bill is 288 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: also linked with food stamp funding. Rural politicians made a 289 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 4: deal with urban politicians that we're going to put these 290 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 4: two things together, and therefore our constituents in the cities 291 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 4: will get the food stamps. Your constituents in the country 292 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 4: will get their farm bill. And that's why, if you 293 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 4: take a look at the funding mechanism, those two things 294 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 4: are linked together hard. And as Rush Limbaugh said years ago, 295 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 4: I think during the Clinton administration, the US farmer at 296 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 4: some point, knowing when the farm bill got really big, 297 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 4: he said, the federal government just turned the US farmers 298 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: into the largest welfare recipient in. 299 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 5: The United States. 300 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 4: Now, the way to fix this is get the government 301 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 4: out of farming, free up the farmers to set their 302 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 4: own prices, and turn them loose into the free market economy. 303 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: Well, in a world where we had smaller farmers and 304 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: not these massive corporate farms, you know, that might very 305 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: well work. But now these corporate farms are have massive, 306 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: massive lobbying abilities, and you know, and this is how 307 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: government works. Always isn't it. Jay. The bigger the entity, 308 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: the more power they wield over our elected officials, and 309 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the more the more leverage they have. And so you know, 310 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: you got your your your tysons and your connagers or 311 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: whoever out there are the giant corporate farmers. You know, 312 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: we're not talking about a multitude of small farmers anymore. 313 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: So the landscape has changed since the earlier days, you know, 314 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: say post dust bowl. Anyway, Sorry, Jay, I look Joe's 315 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: screaming clock in my earn and he's right, Yeah, lots 316 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: of un package there, Jay, I don't disagree with what 317 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: you're saying. It's just another reflection of how government gets 318 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: in the mix and starts screwing things up, and what 319 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: government solution has ever really ultimately panned out. I've got 320 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: article after article about the fraud, wasted abuse, and the 321 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: food stamp program alone right in front of me. And 322 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: when you talk to numbers that you're talking about, I 323 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: were talking billions in billions stolen from food program, but 324 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: when compared to the overall expenditures of government, ultimately doesn't 325 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: add to i'mount to a whole lot, even though we 326 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: want to get rid of fraud waste and abuse five 327 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: twenty six. Right now, stick around more to talk about 328 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: I love phone calls. Out of that, we're going to 329 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: dive into local stories. Either way, we go be. 330 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 8: Right back fifty five KRC your one stuff. 331 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to you Thursdays.

He has been on hiatus because of his 333 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: Bell's policy palsy diagnosis and struggling with that. But apparently 334 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: he issued an optimistic statement yesterday on social media saying 335 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: looks like he's back. He'll be up and running this week, 336 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: and so I got my fingers crossed and thank you 337 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: to every one of the listening audience who offered Jay 338 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: ratl of support and prayers and everything.

I don't know if the 351 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: brain fog is from sleeping in and being a different schedule, 352 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: or maybe the bourbon that I drank over the weekend 353 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: at the combination. 354 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 7: Of Yeah, the alcohol does come into play sometimes, doesn't 355 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 7: it lingering effects? So, uh, you guys are talking about 356 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 7: about money. Uh, Jay with all his research he does, 357 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 7: and and I can't speak for everybody, but I know 358 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 7: I greatly appreciate. 359 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: Uh. 360 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 7: Whenever Jay's on, I get informed things that I didn't know. 361 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 7: I I get to learn. So that's great. I appreciate it. 362 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 7: But you know, money, money, money, money, that's it. If 363 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 7: it ain't about the money, it's about the money. And 364 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 7: it's basically that I've said this many times and and 365 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 7: it bears repeating because all of this politics, and this 366 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 7: is both sides of the aisle, all of this po 367 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 7: stuff is about how can we get our hands on 368 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 7: more money? And and uh what what we just need 369 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 7: to keep in mind is that that the listeners and 370 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 7: and and you could talk to your families and friends. 371 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 7: That is your money that they are getting that you know, 372 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 7: they are forcing you to pay taxes, and then they 373 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 7: are coming up with every conceivable way for you to 374 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 7: pay taxes and for them to get as much money 375 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 7: out of out of you as they can. And and 376 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 7: the bluery your state is, the more money you're paying. 377 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 7: And and uh, it's just it's insanity because it's never 378 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 7: enough for them, and they keep coming up with causes, 379 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 7: and they keep coming up with with figures that are 380 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 7: just how did you come up with that many hundreds 381 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 7: of billions of dollars that you need to do that? 382 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 7: And it's it is, it is completely out of control. 383 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 7: You could argue that there there's really no there's really 384 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 7: no putting this animal back into cage. It's it's just 385 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 7: it's insanity. And so I just again strongly encourage people. 386 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 7: You know, I'm not a fan of everything that the 387 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 7: Republicans do. They have their own greed that they deal 388 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 7: with and they push on us and they take more 389 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 7: money from us and stuff like that. And we were 390 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 7: talking about the you know, the Speaker Johnson making sure 391 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 7: the farmers get money. There's no reason for us to 392 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 7: subsidize the farmer. The way we're supposed to subsidize the 393 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 7: farmers is buy their product. Isn't that the way this 394 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 7: is supposed to Well. 395 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: That was a puzzling thing about what Jay's comment was 396 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: that this was an exchange. Snap was in exchange for 397 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: the farmers to get their farm bill. Well, SNAP is 398 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: us the American taxpayer putting money on a card so 399 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: that people can buy food, which directly directly helps the 400 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: American farmer because they're buying food. If you want to 401 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: put an extra restriction on it, say you have to 402 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: buy American food for example. I mean not that I'm 403 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: advocating for that necessarily. I don't think foodstams should be 404 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: able to pay for sodas and sugary non nutritious items. 405 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: But you know, let's say you have to buy products 406 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: that benefits the American farmer. Theoretic like just let it 407 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: fester run in your head and see if that might work. 408 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 3: Right. 409 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 7: Well, so, so it's like we're we're paying money for 410 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 7: staff and then we're also giving money to the farmers. Well, 411 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 7: the question, I could what are we doing to the 412 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 7: farmers to where we need to subsidize them so much? 413 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 7: Because it's not like you know, we do have health 414 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 7: insurance companies with this, with all with this health bills 415 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 7: and you know, the alleged of Affordable Care Act and 416 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 7: all that, and we watch these health ashurance companies just 417 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 7: get richer and richer and and and all that. Well, 418 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 7: that's not happening to farmers now, you know far Well, 419 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 7: of course, the conglomerates aren't getting bigger, but the mom 420 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 7: and pop farmers and the smaller farmers they're they're going away. 421 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 7: So we're obviously we're getting our hands. And when I 422 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 7: say we, the government's getting their hands and stuff that 423 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 7: they got no business being in. I agree with Jay. 424 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 7: Let's let these people figure it out and at the 425 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 7: price of their own stuff, and and uh, based on 426 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 7: the market. And of course, you know we got Democrats 427 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 7: in there and all their stupid, crazy ideas, and it 428 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 7: just it runs the gamut of how ridiculous it is. 429 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 7: So don't vote Democrats. Have a great day. 430 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, You do the same. Yeah, if you think 431 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: your energy bill is bad, why do you think that is? 432 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: Demand keeps increasing, artificial intelligence facilities keep coming online, more 433 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: and more energy needed, and not enough production out there. Why, well, 434 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: you know the reason, global warming we deprive ourselves of 435 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: an efficient means of producing electricity, falling behind when you 436 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: compare ourselves to China and its rapid expansion and inability 437 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: to keep up with It's also growing demands for power. 438 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: We still chase our tails searching for a carbon neutral world, 439 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: which is a joke. I've got some great stories on 440 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: that coming up. We can dive on into it as 441 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: one particularly excellent article by Victor Davis Hansen which talks 442 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: about this, but amid other articles talking about more Americans 443 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: falling behind on the utility bills. Germany is a great 444 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: illustration of the failure climate policies, and now it's going 445 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: to require government subsidies for manufacturing industries to even afford 446 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: to be able to pay their energy bills. That means 447 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: the German taxpayer is eating this chart, this ridiculous additional 448 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: amount for power generation based upon global warming and using 449 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: windmills and solar panels rather than efficient productions like nuclear 450 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: and of course coal facilities natural gas. There are others 451 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: out there. They did this to themselves, so there's enough 452 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: time we can stop it in its tracks. But you 453 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: got to just get rid of that stupid religion you 454 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: bought into five thirty six fifty five KRC detalk station. 455 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: This is fifty five KRC and iHeart it is forty 456 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: fast approach in five forty one Here fifty five KRC 457 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: detalk station.

Anyway, over to the stack. Hey, 475 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: let's start in Florida, where we have an enraged girlfriend 476 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: who's been arrested and now facing multiple charges after attacking 477 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: her boyfriend because he sent some other woman five dollars. 478 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Hey man, brother, thirty four year old Danielle Banks now 479 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: in custody on a seventy five thousand dollars bond. Clearly 480 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: this didn't take place in Hamilton County in front of 481 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: Judge Silverstein charge to the aggravated battery in the moreau 482 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: Coatti Sheriff's office. She became upset after discovering her boyfriend 483 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: had spent a five dollar payment or sent rather a 484 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: five dollar payment to another woman via a mobile app. 485 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: And here's a disturbing sentence from the article. She found 486 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: this payment when she was going through her boyfriend's phone. 487 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: What is that a rule in your relationship that you're 488 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: allowed to look at your partner's phone information? Now, I 489 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't have a problem if my wife wanted to do it. 490 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: I guess I just kind of scratched my head and wonder, 491 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: why in the hell would she be interested in who 492 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking to or what text I'm sending you know, 493 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: thirty three plus years of marriage in thirty seven years 494 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: of a relationship tends to go a long wait for 495 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: that trust factor anyway, that's disturbing to me. Corner of 496 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: the Lass report, Banks confronted her boyfriend after she found 497 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: this charge, calling him multiple derogatory names that's in quote, 498 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: and taking the situation to the next level by hitting 499 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: him multiple times in the face. Police found it a 500 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: shirt was torn stained with blood. After hitting him, she 501 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: allegedly retrieved a knife from the kitchen and threw it 502 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: at her boyfriend's head, cutting his face. After that, Banks 503 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: reportedly fled the scene, fled their shared home, or boyfriend 504 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: called nine to one one, telling dispatch that she had 505 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: stabbed him in the face.

Seventy one year 576 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 1: old California congressman had their images posted on X this 577 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: past Friday, showing him with his mouth open scrolling through 578 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: photos of women in their underwear.

I know, hey, Joe, 585 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: how is an algorithm created? Isn't it? Because the gathers 586 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: up content that you previously viewed and then shows you 587 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: things that it thinks you once based upon your prior 588 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: clicks and likes an interests.

Yeah, it's Elon 603 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: Musk's fault, Joe, he thought. He said whether he thought 604 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: the content was appropriate to you on a plane? He said, 605 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: quote is it pornography? I don't think Elon Musk thinks 606 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: so is it appropriate? 607 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 4: No? 608 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: So he finally got to the ask no question, and 609 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: he answered, no, it's not appropriate, even though he was 610 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: doing it.

Of course, to you and Gary, Jeff 674 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: Walker and Dan Carroll for covering for me while I 675 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: was sleeping in five one, three, seven, four nine fifty 676 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three taco with 677 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: pound five fifty if you have an AT and T 678 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: phone stick around. Guests begin and they come in earnest 679 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: At eight oh five, beginning with a bright Bart inside 680 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 1: scoop with bright Bart News. Today we hear from breit 681 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: Bart Border News director Brandon Darby, who's going to be 682 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: doing an empower You seminar tonight beginning at seven pm. 683 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: Remember a power Youoamerica dot org. Log in and make 684 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: sure you register before the seminar begins. Going to be 685 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: a great seminar. We get some of the details again 686 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: at eight to five, follow by the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. 687 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: Lots of developments I talked about in the last hour 688 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: of the Security Council. Un Security Council has been totally 689 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: rallied and they are all on board with Donald Trump's 690 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: proposal to deal with Amas, the war between Israel and 691 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: Hamas and disarming Hamas as a predicate to moving forward 692 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: and doing anything. Just a boiled down summary of that one, 693 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: which I consider a huge victory considering China and Russia 694 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: do have a veto power resolution past thirteen oh China 695 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: Russia ubstained. That's amazing amount of leverage, considering there's nothing 696 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: in that that it can be remotely considered pro Hamas, 697 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: and that it is well, at least the Journal's description 698 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: of it, the most pro Israeli resolution that has come 699 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: out of the UN in like well forever. So also 700 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: have Daniel Davis talking about Emanuel Macrone promising to send 701 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: one hundred fighter jets Ukraine and of course Ukraine continues 702 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: to clamor for Tomahawk missiles. He's a pretty bleak opinion 703 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: of Ukraine status in that war, and I kind of 704 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: share that opinion with Daniel Davis, will get him at 705 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: the bottom of the eight o'clock hour, Dan Claire Communications 706 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: direct our Communications Office for the Disabled American Veterans about 707 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: finding jobs for disabled vets. That's a great cause right there. 708 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: We'll talk with Dan at eight forty and then we'll 709 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: get a last segment with Cover since he's John Ruhlman, 710 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: who will be our end the expert, and he'll have 711 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: great advice. I think for Medicare folks getting on its 712 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: open enrollment, your plan is being offered by your employer 713 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: right now, critical time to talk with the folks that Cover, 714 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: since he strongly encourage you doing that. Anyhow, over to 715 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: Victor David Hanson, and I was talking about the climate 716 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: change reality, and you know, it just makes me feel 717 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: good that I have been what I believe to be 718 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: right on this whole carbon dioxide global warming crap that 719 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: we've been fed and it's all coming home to roost, 720 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: not in a good way for the global warming believers. 721 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: And he writes it. For decades, the monolithic and sacriscaink 722 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations, in particular, 723 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: spent trillions of dollars over the past half century to 724 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing 725 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like diversity, 726 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: equity and inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into 727 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: every aspect of Western culture from the corporate boreroom to 728 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: the university campus and pondered that for a moment, what 729 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: a coordinated effort that was. If you question whether man 730 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather 731 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: than natural often centuries long cycles of heating and cooling 732 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: of the planet, like me, one was labeled a climate crank. 733 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas climate crank. Everything from declining fertility to forest 734 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,720 Speaker 1: fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change, but the causes 735 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: of both democratic demographic crises fertility rate and charred landscapes 736 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that 737 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: saw child rearing as too expensive and time consuming and 738 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: underscore misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting. Yet reality has 739 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: caught up with the near religious climate change cult. And 740 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 1: I'll take away that near word from Victor David Hanson's 741 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: analysis it's a religious cult. One point one. The left 742 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: wing tech billionaires, exemplified by former climate change zell at 743 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: Bill Gates, have become apostates of the green movement. Well, 744 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: I guess they have because to follow the green movement 745 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: means their money making machine artificial intelligence is going to 746 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: go nowhere, and China will dominate them. They appreciate, for 747 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 1: the sake of their own business interest that they can't 748 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: cling to this religious climate change cult because it's going 749 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: to ruin them financially. Does that make sense, of course 750 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: it does. Now they do not warm of a planet 751 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: threatened by too much man made heat, but rather by 752 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: two little man made killo wattage. They believe artificial intelligence 753 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: will prove as transformative as the industrial revolution, but to 754 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: win the artificial intelligence revolution will require a vast increases 755 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 1: in electricity production of up to a staggering one hundred 756 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: gigawatts a year of additional capacity. Such enormous demand to 757 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: build the equivalent of one hundred huge power plants every 758 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: year is far beyond the ability of renewables alone. Instead, 759 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: the only solution is in all of the above strategy, 760 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: building more nuclear, natural gas, clean colar. And then there's 761 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: the wind and solar generation plants, which can go along 762 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: with the rest, because we of course need constant energy 763 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: production to back up the sporadic wind and solar generation. 764 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: To Ascendant China's two, this is in point number two. 765 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: Ascendant China's massive arms build up and its bullying belt 766 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: and road imperialism have finally put international climate accords into question. 767 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: Even the environmentalist King Karl sixteenth Gustava Sweden recently let 768 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: it slip that he's trouble by why Europe sabotaged its 769 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: own economy by shutting down its formerly efficient nuclear and 770 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,919 Speaker 1: fossil fuel plants, reminding the world that the European Union 771 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: nations contribute only six percent of the planet's carbon emissions. 772 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: West finally realizes that a cent China has been playing 773 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: it for years by funding green propaganda abroad. Again. I 774 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: was so happy he made the point, because he's got 775 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 1: more credibility than I do. I've been pointing this out forever. 776 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: Who dominates social media, who dominates everything online, who's has 777 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: bought farms of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of computers, 778 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: generating this propaganda and feeding it to you because you 779 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: well don't question it in the sanity behind it, or 780 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: maybe you don't have sufficient information. Here, here's a hockey 781 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: stick study. We're right, you believe this. Don't believe your 782 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 1: own eyes and ears on everything else that's been pointed out, 783 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: which may turn to different reasons for the so called 784 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: climate crisis. I'm sorry, I'm interjecting my own thoughts. Apologies 785 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: to Victor David Hanson back to him. Indeed, be Beijing 786 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: guilt tripped Europe in the United States on global waring 787 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: warming well, it exported billions of dollars of cheap wind 788 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: and solar generation products, often below in its own cost 789 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: of production. Meanwhile, China plows ahead building two or three 790 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: colon nuclear generation plants per month. Under the propagandistic banner 791 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: of climate change. China hopes that its Western competitors invest 792 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: in inefficient and high priced renewable energy. Meanwhile, its own 793 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: expanding fossil fuel and nuclear industries ensure that it will 794 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: enjoy global price advantages in both trade and armament. It 795 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: benefits China for you to believe in this religion. Three, 796 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: the global climate crisis shakedown has become shameless. Huh. Formerly 797 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: third world nations now demand from the West hundreds of 798 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in so called climate reparations for carbon 799 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: emissions released decades ago. Yes, the West burned oil, oil, 800 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: and gas, but it also provided the rest of the 801 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 1: world with carbon fueled cars, factories, and modern consumer goods. 802 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: Green critics fail to concede that almost all global technology 803 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: and modern industrial products come from either the West or 804 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: westernizing copycats. Zero point four. Energy production is that the 805 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: nexus of conflict and can mean life or death for nations. 806 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 1: To the degree of the United States and its allies 807 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 1: produce lots of natural gas and oil, they can protect 808 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: the West from crippling embargoes and cutoffs from anti Western 809 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: energy producers. During the Ukraine War, America exported liquefied natural 810 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: gas to Europe, not solar panels or turbine blades, and 811 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: it will be increasingly essential to keep europe afloat as 812 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: Russia turns off its exports. Bigot when oil and gas 813 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: are affordable thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western 814 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: nations than illiberal and bellicose oil exporting countries like Iran 815 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars 816 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: or subsidizing their global terrorists. Five point five. Science is 817 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 1: not fossilized in amber, but dynamic and changing. Increasingly. Climatologists 818 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: are no longer afraid of being bully by global green skulds. 819 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: They point out that while accurate temperature recording is only 820 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: a couple of one hundred a couple of centuries old, 821 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,280 Speaker 1: the planet has been here for over four billion years, 822 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 1: and it reveals plenty of evidence of natural climate volatility. 823 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: Extreme heat and cold spells lasted in nature for centuries 824 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,879 Speaker 1: undid so long before humans appeared little more than three 825 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 1: hundred thousand years ago. There's that pesky fun fact. So 826 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: the public is sick of pseudoscientific activists pedaling their doom 827 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: and gloom wares of their own particular and profitable agendas. 828 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: Ela green gurus often buy seaside estates Barack Obama while 829 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: warning of devastating tidal waves to come. They fly in 830 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: carbon spewing private jets while ordering the poor to turn 831 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: down their air conditioners. In some carbon is dead, Long 832 00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: Live carbon victor David Hanson some fun facts poorting his points. 833 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 1: Lots of information out about the cost of electricity, and 834 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 1: we all know the reason behind its increase in price 835 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: demand coupled with stupid, stupid ideas about electricity generation five 836 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: on three seven, four nine fifty five D eight hundred 837 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: dight two to three talk nun five fifty on eighteen 838 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,439 Speaker 1: and T phone QN You see kinetics pain you got 839 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: at six twenty one to fifty five kr CD talk station. Yeah. 840 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: Further to the energy issue, situation here in Germany's. This 841 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: is you know, there are so many parallels between what 842 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: Germany's doing right now and so far as dealing with 843 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: its energy crisis, a self created crisis. You know, government 844 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: creates crises by turning off the legitimate, reliable spigot of 845 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: efficient power and makes you use a windmill, and then 846 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: the prices go up, and there's the intermittent power, there 847 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: are brownouts. It's costing the industries. Basically, their entire industry 848 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: is fleeing because the price has gotten so expensive. Enter 849 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: a government solution. This is so much like Obamacare and 850 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen subsidies. So Germany has now agreed to 851 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: subsidize electricity for at least heavy industry, which means they're 852 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 1: capping prices per kilowatt hour in order to save the 853 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: industrial base from basically leaving because of the energy costs 854 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: are so damn expensive in Europe, they pay double what 855 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: we pay here double and they don't have to. They're 856 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: surrounded by an abundance of you know, carbon based energy production. 857 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: They used to have nukes with the only with the 858 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: exception of France, who saw that would be stupid to 859 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: cut off their noses by their face, Germany got rid 860 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: of all theirs. Germany's power market as happens to be 861 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: the largest in Europe, and they pointed out that since 862 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, the energy crisis, then power prices have 863 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,280 Speaker 1: remained volatile, spiking again this fall is renewable generation faltered 864 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 1: and gas fired output surged to its highest level since 865 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Wait a minute, I thought we were 866 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 1: supposed to get rid of that evil carbon produced energy. 867 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: Low wind speeds, weak hydro output and grid bottomnecks force 868 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,760 Speaker 1: Germany to burn more natural gas and coal to stabilize supply. 869 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 1: The operative word being stabilized, because you need stable electricity 870 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: for a factory to actor or to be able to 871 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 1: build automobiles for example. Industry groups are you ready, here 872 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:23,280 Speaker 1: we go, Come on. Obamacare subsidies shut down parallels. Industry 873 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: groups say these temporary subsidies temporary essential to prevent production 874 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 1: from shifting overseas, Critics pointing out in only papers over 875 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,320 Speaker 1: deeper structural problems in this case with energy production, aging, 876 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: infrastructure permitting, and unreliable renewable output. In the case of Obamacare, 877 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: of course, the fact that it just doesn't work premiums 878 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: keep going up because the number of claims being paid 879 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: under Obamacare, the premiums don't cover it. Enter an increase 880 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 1: in premium. Let's cover up the increase in premium by 881 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,319 Speaker 1: offering it well for free. We'll give everybody a tax subsidy. Know, 882 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: the premium didn't go away, it just landed in the 883 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: American taxpayer's pocket to pay. And that what of when 884 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 1: the subsidies end. To this point, Berlin hopes the three 885 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: year relief period brought about by these subsidies will buy 886 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: time to extend grid capacity and add flexible generation. Analysts 887 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: those saying unless those projects materialize quickly, the country's got 888 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,800 Speaker 1: to be facing another round of industrial contraction by the 889 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: decades and when there's six when these subsidies end. So 890 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: it's temporary, and it probably will allow some of these 891 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: elected officials to say, no, no, no, it's all under control. 892 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: The industry is getting all these subsidies. So then I 893 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: feel in the pain from the stupid energy generation of 894 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 1: policies we pursued. So let's just kick back and not 895 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: add flexible generation in the form of nuke's, coal, natural gas. 896 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 1: Let's just let the windmills work while the subsidies rain, 897 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: and our deficits go bigger and bigger and bigger. It's Obamacare. 898 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: And instead of the belief that you know, the extension 899 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 1: of these subsidies would buy us time during COVID, so 900 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: we'll get through COVID and everybody everything will go back 901 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: to status quo. The Democrat strategy was not to change 902 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: Obamacare fundamentally alter how it works so it becomes more 903 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: affordable on its own. It was, of course, these subsidies. 904 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 1: The subsidies were set to expire. COVID's expired. They haven't 905 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: come up with a solution to fix the problem. Naturally, 906 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: they want to extend the subsidies, masking the insanity that 907 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: Obamacare is. Terry's on the phone, Terry, hang on if 908 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 1: you don't mind. It's six twenty fund a Tuesday, A 909 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,359 Speaker 1: happy one to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine 910 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eighty two three talk tun five to 911 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Thanks to Terry who 912 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 1: held over the Breakterr, I appreciate you holding. Welcome to 913 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: the show. 914 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 2: Hey, good morning. Well we were talking about the the 915 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 2: oil and how Terry is funding. But you remember when 916 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 2: sawed Lusseain used oil as a terrorist weapon and spewed 917 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,400 Speaker 2: out about a hundred and ten years worth of oil. 918 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 2: Didn't affect the weather much at all because drifted, you know, 919 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,919 Speaker 2: to the east, and when you look up the weather 920 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 2: patterns they really didn't change. 921 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: Probably not. And you know, there's all kinds of volcanoes 922 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: that blow up every year, and those belch out more 923 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 1: carbon dioxide and more pollutants than anything we can do 924 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: to negate that from the atmosphere. But yeah, you're right, 925 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: Terry Little. I remember that lit them all on fire 926 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 1: was kind of stupid and acting environmental disaster, But I 927 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: don't remember anyone complaining about global warming as a consequence 928 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: of that. 929 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,160 Speaker 2: Terry to you, well, no, that's that's what when they 930 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 2: were talking about. I had college classes, you know, here 931 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 2: and there I had to take when I was on 932 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,760 Speaker 2: active duty. And then I asked the professor, I said, 933 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 2: what about the oil well fire study? What oil fires 934 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 2: long than Kuwait? One hundred and ten years worth of 935 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 2: oil went up in the air. That should be an indicator. 936 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 2: Did you follow it? 937 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: Did we? 938 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 2: I said, I don't see any temperature changes or anything else. 939 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 2: What you allude to, you know. 940 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: Terry, you stumbled another issue here that I think is 941 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 1: worthy of elaborating on. And let me thank you for 942 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: your service to our country. But since you did serve 943 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,800 Speaker 1: the American militaries all over the globe, how much carbon 944 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: do side? Do you think America's military belches out annually? 945 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 1: How much carbon dioxide and global warming pollutants are emitted 946 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 1: as a consequence of Russia and Ukraine fighting each other, 947 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: or Russia and the Hamas fighting each other. We could 948 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: go on and on and on, couldn't we? But I've 949 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: never heard of global warming alarmist talk about that at all. 950 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: Nor do I hear from Democrats, like for example, who 951 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: are interested in continuing to fund Ukraine and fight Russia. 952 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't ever want to talk about the 953 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 2: Democratic president that gave rise to our nuclear navy, and 954 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 2: that was Jimmy Carter. 955 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 1: That's a good point too, nuclear navy that's been working. Actually, 956 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: I've had nuclear ships in the in the water since 957 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: late nineteen fifties and not a single accident. 958 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 2: Terry. 959 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. 960 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, go to President Jimmy Carter. He 961 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 2: believed in nuclear power because he worked on it his 962 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 2: whole military career. 963 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, he hadn't. 964 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 10: Great the points. 965 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: Terry always welcome to call the show with great points. 966 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 1: You can feel free to call it as well. What 967 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: do you think of this, since I grew up on 968 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 1: the West Side and I'm painfully familiar with this area 969 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 1: that the City of Cincinnati is now deciding to now 970 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: is installing center turn lane bumps Glenaway Avenue between Ralph 971 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 1: and Gurley, described as part of a pilot program to 972 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 1: address uns saved drivers over in West Price Hill. The 973 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 1: bumps seven feet wide three inches tall, apparently designed in 974 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 1: this particular case to keep live drivers in their lanes 975 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 1: rather than using the center turn lane to weave in 976 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: and out of traffic. So you have idiots, so you're 977 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: going to be slowed down there and anyplace else. They 978 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,720 Speaker 1: put these in because idiots, rather than wait in line 979 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: for their turn to reach the intersection and drive through 980 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: or take a left or right, are going around you 981 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 1: using the center lane and then jumping back in front 982 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: of you. Wilissa McVeigh, Department of Transportation Engineering, said city 983 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: senior planner. We've been hearing from folks on the West 984 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 1: Price Hill that there are some wild drivers that have 985 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: been using the turn lane on Glenways a way to 986 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 1: sort of pass slower and weave in and out of traffic, 987 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: and this was making residents feel really unsafe. Welcome to 988 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:17,280 Speaker 1: speed bumps on Gloomway Avenue. Apparently, according to her, drivers 989 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 1: going over these bumps at anything above fifteen miles per 990 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 1: hour will, in her words, feel it kind of like 991 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: literally driving at any speed up and down sunset for 992 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 1: the past twenty years.

Does this relate to the story 1019 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 1: that I read about the speed arms on Glenway Avenue? 1020 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: My friend? 1021 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,239 Speaker 11: Hey, Yeah, Brian, good morning Ice pleasure that one that 1022 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 11: I test, That's what I text you about day. Yeah, 1023 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,080 Speaker 11: there's four or five of these, I can't remember. I've 1024 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 11: counted them a couple of times, but they're not the 1025 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 11: standard speed humps, the ones that you see in the 1026 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,879 Speaker 11: middle of the street, and they mark hump on them 1027 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 11: are wider and higher than what these are. These they 1028 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 11: dug up the street in the middle lane. Of course 1029 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 11: what you read not to be repetitious, but they're black top, 1030 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 11: and what they do is they put a little yellow 1031 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 11: arrow on it. Gone both ways, but they're smaller and 1032 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 11: if you logistically drive in between, you can hit these. 1033 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 11: You can still go sixty miles an hour and not 1034 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 11: hit these humps. Now, if you look at the humps, 1035 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 11: the old speed humps on the edges, they're all racked 1036 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 11: up because I guess the trucks during the winter tore 1037 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 11: these things up on the ends. So I guess they've 1038 00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 11: kind of learned their lesson go ahead. 1039 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, no, no, I. 1040 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 1: Just was responding, hm. I wasn't aware that they deteriorated 1041 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: that way. I had a question though, for you, because 1042 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: when I saw that you were calling, and I did 1043 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 1: joke around, I guess Sunset is finally being repaved. 1044 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 11: That's what Kevin Aldred said. 1045 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so let's assume that is the case. But 1046 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 1: let me ask you this, considering how terrible that street 1047 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 1: has been for so many years, that you really you 1048 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: really can't speed on it, or you do so at 1049 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 1: your own peril and the resulting risk of maybe damaging 1050 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: a rim or having to have your car realigned. Wouldn't 1051 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: it be easier rather than dealing with these speeders and 1052 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 1: these idiots are driving around the roads and then put 1053 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 1: speed bumps in. Why don't just let all the roads 1054 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: fall apart like Sunset to the point where you can't speed. 1055 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 11: On them, or you could dig them up instead of 1056 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 11: repairing them and put the rose holes. 1057 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 1: In dirt roads. Well, and that would be more aligned 1058 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 1: with have to Have Pearvall's idea about greening the city. 1059 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 1: And he's not interested in having you know, well unless 1060 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: you're you're you're with this new contrast project project the 1061 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: largest and over the Rhne. He's not interested in allowing 1062 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 1: you to build housing with garages in it, right, He's 1063 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 1: not interested in parking lots because his goal is to 1064 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 1: get rid of the cars and have since any to 1065 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 1: be this walking community. So maybe that is the direction 1066 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: to go for a have to Have provo. Just don't compare 1067 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 1: the red. 1068 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 11: That's ridiculous too. But I'll keep you up on Sunset 1069 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 11: with pictures and so forth on the production of it. 1070 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 3: But no those. 1071 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 11: I don't think that those new so called speed humps 1072 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 11: are going to stop these crazies, man, I mean, you 1073 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 11: wouldn't believe it. You got to constantly look. If you're 1074 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 11: going to turn into let's say, Price Heal Chili, they're 1075 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 11: a shot, and you do what you're supposed to do. 1076 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,520 Speaker 11: You drive down the street and then when you want 1077 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 11: to turn in there about maybe fifty seventy five feet 1078 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 11: you put your turn signal on, which most people don't 1079 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 11: know what that thing and what a turn signal is. Yeah, 1080 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 11: and then you get in that lane and turn in there. 1081 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 11: And these people are nuts. I mean, they don't like 1082 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 11: sitting in line. And the city ca this problem because 1083 01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 11: of putting in speed humps farther down, so all the 1084 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 11: traffic backs up, and they don't want to sit there 1085 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 11: and wait and guarantee you. 1086 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 7: Or higher. 1087 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 11: These people do not have insurance and so forth, because 1088 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 11: you can tell by the cars and they're all beat up. 1089 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 11: And yeah, I'm I'm stereotyping them, but I don't want 1090 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 11: to get hit by one of these clowns. I mean, 1091 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 11: I don't want to have to pay my own insurance 1092 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,439 Speaker 11: out of this thing to fix my car. 1093 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 1: Well, obviously this is apparently and you know, I was 1094 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: kind of questioning whether this was that serious a problem 1095 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: that they had to put these things in in an 1096 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 1: effort to stop it. And I understand they're looking for solutions, Jim, 1097 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: but you're confirming that it is as bad, if not worse, 1098 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 1: than I've read about. I didn't realize this was such 1099 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 1: a big problem. And if that is a place where 1100 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 1: there's massive numbers of traffic violations and might I underscore 1101 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:57,520 Speaker 1: extremely dangerous ones as you describe it, why isn't there 1102 01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: a better police presence there? That'll be like shooting fishing 1103 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: a barrow in terms of issuing citations. 1104 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 11: Well, there's a lot of cops. Especially when a gun run, 1105 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 11: you'll see six to eight cop cars go flying down 1106 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 11: and they use that center lane. So I don't know 1107 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 11: what's going to happen with that, with the fire trucks, 1108 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 11: the ambulances and the police cars. When there's an emergency 1109 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 11: and then the traffic's all backed up, they're going to 1110 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 11: have to use that lane with all the speed humps 1111 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 11: in it too. And not that I'm gonna get off 1112 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 11: my grass kind of a guy, but these these speed humps, 1113 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 11: I don't think we're that necessary to the business owners 1114 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,919 Speaker 11: up there, and I talked to a couple of them. 1115 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,520 Speaker 11: They liked the idea of these going in because of 1116 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 11: the fact of people flying by unless they can't get 1117 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 11: into their businesses. 1118 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: No, I get that. I just if it's that big 1119 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: of a problem, I mean, if you had a regular 1120 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 1: police cruiser there just for the purpose of issuing citations 1121 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: for these idiots, that wouldn't that stop that from happening. 1122 01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 1: Greater police presidents, less crime. I mean, I don't unders 1123 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 1: stay in the allocation of police resources in these complicated 1124 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,760 Speaker 1: times we have. But again, you generate revenue for the city, 1125 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: why don't they jack up the price for that type 1126 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 1: of traffic offense to make it something really, really really expensive, 1127 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, like five hundred dollars for trying to pass 1128 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 1: in the center lane might stop people from doing it 1129 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 1: if they started issuing more citations of folks. I don't know, 1130 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: it just seems like I just I'm just shocked that 1131 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:22,520 Speaker 1: it's that bad of a problem. 1132 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 11: Well, I agree with you, Ryan, but all of a sudden, 1133 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 11: they're going to go to court, and you know what 1134 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 11: happens when they go to court and you get some 1135 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 11: liberal judge up there that's going to think that we're 1136 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 11: going on the oppressed type of a person, and they're 1137 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 11: going to think that, well, that's only a traffic citation. 1138 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 1: Well wait a minute, are do only the oppressed commit 1139 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 1: traffic violations like that? 1140 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 5: Now? 1141 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think that's. 1142 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 11: To you that the majority of the people that are 1143 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 11: doing this, especially in Price Hill, are the oppressed type 1144 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,440 Speaker 11: of a person. I mean, if you just look inside 1145 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 11: the car and see the lady that is going to 1146 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 11: Walmart up here with twelve kids in the car and 1147 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 11: there's all kind of garbage and stuff in the car. Yes, yeah, 1148 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 11: there is a problem. 1149 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: I am. I am because I know people like that 1150 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: a fluid like let's say, white guys with a short 1151 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 1: temper who refuse to abide by the rules because they 1152 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 1: don't think it applies to them and are busy to 1153 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: go on their merry way to get their stuff done 1154 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 1: because it's more important than following the law. If there's 1155 01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that I would not, 1156 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form called disadvantaged. 1157 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 11: Well, you know, getting back to the speed humps, I 1158 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,080 Speaker 11: agree with you, But getting back to those speed humps, 1159 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 11: I just don't know how the trucks in the winter 1160 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 11: are going to handle these things either, because if they 1161 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 11: were tearing up the corner edges of the concrete ones, 1162 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 11: what are they going to do with blacktop? I mean 1163 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 11: when you take one of those blades down. Yeah, yeah, 1164 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,680 Speaker 11: one of those trucks, they're going to hit these blacktop 1165 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 11: and they're gonna be out there repairing these things constantly 1166 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 11: because it's only blacktop. I watched them do this. They 1167 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 11: dug up, they put bricks down underneath the blacktop, and 1168 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 11: then they just put black top. 1169 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 5: On the top. 1170 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 11: There's no like three bar and stuff like that in there. 1171 01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 11: I watched him do this for a week. I mean, 1172 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 11: got a horrible life. 1173 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Well way, don't you think that the powers that be 1174 01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: that come up with these solutions would anticipate that at 1175 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 1: some point we're gonna get snowed on and that a 1176 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 1: snow plow with that massive blade is going to have 1177 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 1: to go over them, that they have engineered them in 1178 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 1: such a way that that's not going to happen, or 1179 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: maybe it might giving them too much credit for advanced planning, Jim. 1180 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's it, right, Yeah, Okay, you're talking about 1181 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 11: the city.

He points out it faced 1208 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 1: nine years of community opposition. What's it got. It's got 1209 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 1: a lot of apartments, two hundred and seventy six apartments. 1210 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 1: It's eleven square feet of ground floor commercial space along 1211 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 1: the streetcar line. It's on the north side of Liberty 1212 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 1: between Elm and Central Parkway, and it's huge. What does 1213 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 1: it gut in it thirteen hundred and seventy four dollars apartments. 1214 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: Studio apartments start at thirteen seventy seventy four. So if 1215 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 1: you want to jump up to a single back a 1216 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 1: full bedroom, I think it's a little bit more money 1217 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 1: than that. Notably so I mentioned studio. It started in 1218 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: a monthly rent of thirteen seventy four. One bedroom start 1219 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 1: at fifteen hundred dollars, and then you get your two 1220 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 1: and three bedroom units, the largest of which coming into 1221 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and ninety eight square feet. Hey, Joe, how's 1222 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,960 Speaker 1: this sound for monthly rent four thousand, nine hundred and 1223 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: seven dollars four nine hundred and seven. And I think 1224 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 1: about that, what that would translate into a monthly mortgage 1225 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,560 Speaker 1: payment where you would actually be building up equity over time. 1226 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: That is renting an apartment the right way to go. 1227 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we were talking a couple of days ago, 1228 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 1: a week ago or so, about these fifty year mortgages, 1229 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,960 Speaker 1: and you know whatever I mean, I view a fifty 1230 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 1: year mortgages maybe a bad thing. You're going to be 1231 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 1: settled with mortgage debt the rest of your life. No, 1232 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 1: you can refinance. Mortgage rates or interest rates are invariably 1233 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,080 Speaker 1: going to go down at some point. You can lock 1234 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 1: into a lower interest rate in a shorter term, but 1235 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 1: you get equity in return, unlike an apartment where you 1236 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,600 Speaker 1: were saddled with rent every single month forever without any 1237 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,840 Speaker 1: equity built in. So there's you know, an argument that 1238 01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 1: you can make about that. Hey, look it's got parking 1239 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety four parking spaces for one hundred 1240 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: and ninety four of the two hundred and seventy five 1241 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 1: or two undred and seventy six apartments, So they have that, 1242 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 1: and does anybody know if this is consistent with the 1243 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 1: connected communities that have to have. Pearlvoll has shoved down 1244 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 1: all the all the neighborhoods, you know, throats. 1245 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 3: That. 1246 01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm happy though that private company they're keeping the property, 1247 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,479 Speaker 1: they're gonna own it, they're gonna manage it, they're gonna 1248 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,280 Speaker 1: run it, and they're gonna make profit off of it. 1249 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,000 Speaker 1: Isn't that the way it's supposed to work?

Happy Tuesday, 1314 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 1: Still morning, Brian. 1315 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,840 Speaker 3: I just have to chuckle about these high interest rates. 1316 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,559 Speaker 3: I lived during a quarter inflation boom, and when I 1317 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 3: moved to the company moved me to Phillip from Harrisburg, 1318 01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:42,920 Speaker 3: PA and eighty four, they gave me a really good deal. 1319 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 3: I got a twelve percent interest in rate because the 1320 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 3: company moved me and I was paying like they were 1321 01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:52,680 Speaker 3: thirteen in Harrisburg. Yeah, so six point five as well. 1322 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,000 Speaker 3: That would have been great back then. 1323 01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 1: But you know it would have and you know I listen, Jim, 1324 01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,479 Speaker 1: I have said many many times. The first house my 1325 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 1: wife and I I bought in Oak Park, Illinois, we 1326 01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 1: were up in Chicago. Decided we want to have place 1327 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 1: for him for the purpose of building equity. We bought down, 1328 01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,680 Speaker 1: bought down with three points. We had three points. We 1329 01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,160 Speaker 1: paid to get down to eight and an eighth on 1330 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: a seven to twenty three balloon, not even a thirty 1331 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,600 Speaker 1: year fixed mortgage. It was eight in a eight, so 1332 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, three points in what we negotiated. So the 1333 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,599 Speaker 1: seller paid the points. We paid more than the house 1334 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 1: was worth to get the three points, so because we 1335 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 1: didn't have that kind of money in our pocket. But 1336 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 1: it all worked out. But still we bought eight in 1337 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 1: an eighth on a seven to twenty three balloon. So 1338 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, I see six percent interest rates on a 1339 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 1: thirty year fix and I'm like, well, you know what, 1340 01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:39,719 Speaker 1: I would have jumped all over that in our first house. 1341 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean it was actually a great that's an impossible 1342 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:49,599 Speaker 1: rate back then, nineteen ninety fun. So yeah, so it 1343 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 1: is so Jim, is your point kind of like suck 1344 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:52,760 Speaker 1: it up, buttercup kind of thing. 1345 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 3: It's like, oh, this is I mean, I'm sorry, but 1346 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:04,000 Speaker 3: the idiots got the first race down. There's zero at overnight. 1347 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,200 Speaker 3: The FED was insane. That's what's caused all this in 1348 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 3: place that we're playing side prices for, is it? And 1349 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 3: we weren't charging proper interest rates at the time. 1350 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:14,960 Speaker 2: Well in six percent, it's not a. 1351 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:15,680 Speaker 3: Bad interest rate. 1352 01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Now now that's not And you talk about the sub 1353 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: primaries where people that got out of bankruptcy. Yesterday we 1354 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 1: were able to get four hundred thousand dollars loans. Today 1355 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 1: you had a real problem on your hands. That is terrible, 1356 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,719 Speaker 1: terrible actuarial work. You want to find out if someone 1357 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,880 Speaker 1: can't afford the loan that you're giving them, and none 1358 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 1: of that was done at all during the bubble, and 1359 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 1: of course it burst. But then again, I will give 1360 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,599 Speaker 1: a nod to people who are saying yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well, 1361 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,599 Speaker 1: you know, suck at a buttercup. But there's very few 1362 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 1: houses available. That's the problem. This laws of supplying the 1363 01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 1: man have kicked in the market. Forces are a lot 1364 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,920 Speaker 1: different in the real estate market than they were ten, fifteen, 1365 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 1: twenty thirty years ago, obviously post COVID, and then we 1366 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 1: have an influx of twenty thirty million illegal immigrants in 1367 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,320 Speaker 1: this country. While they may not be able to purchase 1368 01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,880 Speaker 1: a home, they need a place to stay. That has 1369 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: a ripple effect. You know, everybody's got to find a 1370 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 1: place to stay. So what's out there and available is 1371 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 1: not nearly as much because the population has also gone 1372 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: up over that period of time. So it's not as 1373 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,240 Speaker 1: simple as just saying, you know, if the interest rates 1374 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,639 Speaker 1: were lower, people could afford to buy a house. Now, 1375 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 1: I think if the interest rates were lower, there'll be 1376 01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,719 Speaker 1: more people out in the market looking for a house, 1377 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 1: and all the available stock, as limited as it is, 1378 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 1: laws of supply and demand would mean the price of 1379 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 1: houses would just go up. More more people could afford 1380 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 1: to buy at a certain rate will be out into 1381 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,599 Speaker 1: the market, and then that would have a ripple effect 1382 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 1: of causing those otherwise maybe affordable houses to go up 1383 01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 1: in price. It's crazy what's going on. What we need 1384 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:46,679 Speaker 1: is more housing stock and that's the key, So getting 1385 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,679 Speaker 1: builders out there to build houses that are considered quote 1386 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: unquote affordable, not as much profit margin in those lots 1387 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,720 Speaker 1: of people with the ability to buy are looking for 1388 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: higher end homes, even if smaller, much higher end in 1389 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,320 Speaker 1: terms of a manag nobody's out there building your basic 1390 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, two hundred thousand dollars square or two hundred 1391 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars home at you know, for twelve hundred square 1392 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 1: feet they're building you know, three thousand, four thousand, five 1393 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:12,920 Speaker 1: thousand square foot. You know, sometimes you get into that 1394 01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,200 Speaker 1: mick mansion area, which I've never understood, but you know, 1395 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,679 Speaker 1: you do what you want with your money anyway, Very 1396 01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:24,640 Speaker 1: complicated reality going on, very see here seven four nine 1397 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,000 Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty 1398 01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 1: on eighteen t Fondes looks like today's day. I haven't 1399 01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,800 Speaker 1: even mentioned it this morning because the bubbles seem to 1400 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,599 Speaker 1: be burst on this whole Jeffrey Epstein file release thing 1401 01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:37,320 Speaker 1: over the weekend. When Donald Trump said finally on Sunday, well, 1402 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: it looks like one hundred plus Republicans in Congress are 1403 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 1: ready to defy me, so uh, go ahead, release him, 1404 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,440 Speaker 1: it was truth social late Sunday walked back his opposition. 1405 01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,759 Speaker 1: He said House Republicans should vote to release the files, 1406 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 1: quote because we have nothing to hide. I'm all for it, 1407 01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 1: he said, after well campaigning to release them and then 1408 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 1: walking back his promised to release them, saying we don't 1409 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: need to release them. There's nothing there there, which caused 1410 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 1: more problems I think among the Republicans than Democrats. Democrats 1411 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:08,559 Speaker 1: have kind of been crazy on this whole issue. They 1412 01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,240 Speaker 1: had these files, and they had the Biden administration, they 1413 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,760 Speaker 1: had control. They could have released them a long time ago. 1414 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: They didn't do it then, and that was back when 1415 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was clamoring to release them. So I really 1416 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 1: am curious to know what the hell changed after the 1417 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 1: election to make him change his mind in the first place, 1418 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,080 Speaker 1: and make all the Democrats change their mind and now 1419 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 1: adopt this position. It's really important to release the Epstein files. 1420 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,400 Speaker 1: So I got my popcorn out, and it's going to 1421 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:38,240 Speaker 1: happen as early as today. Last year, I guess earlier 1422 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 1: this year, even FBI director said, after an exhausted review 1423 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 1: of the case file, no basis to revisit the disclosure exists. 1424 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: In other words, there's no reason to let them go. Hmm. 1425 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 1: If you can reconcile that change of position from Trump's 1426 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 1: side of the equation, understand it, and I disagree with 1427 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, him shifting gears and trying to stop them 1428 01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 1: from being released. Maybe there is nothing there. Maybe there 1429 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,280 Speaker 1: is The one looming question that's burning around all this 1430 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 1: is where are the prosecutions for the women who have 1431 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 1: come forward, identified themselves and claimed they were molested by 1432 01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:22,040 Speaker 1: this guy and others that hung around with them. Does 1433 01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 1: that bear a political stripe? Interesting justice for those people 1434 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean, are those that worked with Epstein, whether or 1435 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 1: not they were engaged with sexual conduct. Those that worked 1436 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 1: with him, texted him even somewhile on the floor of 1437 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:43,000 Speaker 1: Congress seeking advice during Q and as. Why would you 1438 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 1: do that? That's a great question. I want to know 1439 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 1: the answer to that. How was it Epstein wielded so 1440 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 1: much power and that he was the go to guy 1441 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,920 Speaker 1: for well consultations along those lines and relationship counselor too. 1442 01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:57,639 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of articles about that, people seeking out 1443 01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,559 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein to talk to him about the women that 1444 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,679 Speaker 1: they were suing. Weird is that the reason that Donald 1445 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:07,000 Speaker 1: Trump changed his mind? All these powerful, influential people giving 1446 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,120 Speaker 1: him a phone call, whispering in his ear, maybe even 1447 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 1: sending him a text saying, please, Dear God, my name's 1448 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,760 Speaker 1: in there. I don't want to be involved. I don't 1449 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,720 Speaker 1: want to have to explain this to my wife or 1450 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 1: husband as the case, maybe let's just put the lid 1451 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 1: on this now. Being in Trump's position, I wouldn't bow 1452 01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: to that kind of pressure. I'm already on record demanding 1453 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:32,559 Speaker 1: that they be released. So everybody's got questions swirling around this, Why, 1454 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 1: what change, what happened? And ultimately what's in there? And 1455 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:44,719 Speaker 1: hopefully nothing It w be just the passing distraction. Story, 1456 01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 1: and maybe that's what it was designed to be. All along, 1457 01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm still left with more questions than I've got seven 1458 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 1: sixteen Right now, Paul, you're gonna be next if you 1459 01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:54,080 Speaker 1: don't mind him brief hold here, I want to mention 1460 01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 1: USA installation.

I am 1478 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 1: campaigning on, get these files out there, let's expose these evildoers. 1479 01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, next next minute, it's no, 1480 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: we don't need them, nothing to release, nothing to see here. 1481 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,960 Speaker 1: We've looked, we've been through them. We don't need and 1482 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a second, And now he's changed his 1483 01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 1: mind again. At least we can point to this time 1484 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,720 Speaker 1: he had to change his mind because all the Republicans 1485 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 1: were lined up to go ahead and vote these things 1486 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:11,000 Speaker 1: out in the public. For all the reasons I was 1487 01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:13,720 Speaker 1: talking about in the last segment. You can't hide behind it. 1488 01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: There's no explaining Trump's change this out. 1489 01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 6: It absolutely needs out. Get it, get it out, Let 1490 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 6: the chips fall, you know, and they're gonna go where 1491 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 6: they're gonna go. And that's just the way it's gotta be. 1492 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:28,639 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1493 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 6: But the housing thing, uh, as I remember again being 1494 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:38,759 Speaker 6: a little older than you used to be, when somebody 1495 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 6: bought a house or part of the reason was affordable 1496 01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 6: was it had single car garages if any. Yep, bedrooms 1497 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 6: were eight foot by ten foot, except the master, which 1498 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:55,680 Speaker 6: might be ten by fourteen. Yeah, it didn't have a dishwasher, 1499 01:20:56,160 --> 01:21:00,320 Speaker 6: it didn't have central air, it was just there. This 1500 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 6: were not the kind of homes that anybody would even 1501 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 6: want today. 1502 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,759 Speaker 1: Well, our attitudes have changed because we've become so damn 1503 01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:13,599 Speaker 1: wealthy and used to all the amenities. You are dead on, right. 1504 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,439 Speaker 1: I think of my grandfather, my mom's father and mother. 1505 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,200 Speaker 1: They lived in a very small, very modest house on 1506 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: Cooper Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, probably twelve hundred square feet 1507 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 1: if you had a couple of bedrooms on the first floor. 1508 01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 1: My mom's very tiny. You're right, You accurately described it. 1509 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 1: Twelve by ten basically, and she didn't really live there 1510 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: much because she was older when they bought the house, 1511 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 1: but that was designated her bedroom. Then they had the 1512 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:39,840 Speaker 1: master bedroom again, you're right, maybe fourteen by fifteen, and 1513 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:41,760 Speaker 1: that was it except for the upstairs, which they had 1514 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: converted into a single, three bedroom bedroom. Right, all three 1515 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,800 Speaker 1: beds that my uncles slept on, twin beds, single beds upstairs. 1516 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 1: That's how you lived. I never remember being unhappy. I 1517 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,800 Speaker 1: never remember looking down my nose at the place when 1518 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 1: I went and visited. It was an awesome place. It 1519 01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,640 Speaker 1: was grandma and Grandpa's. And could you live in a 1520 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 1: place that absolutely square foot wise, no problem? You could 1521 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,720 Speaker 1: have ac and amenities. You think about Frank Lloyd right, 1522 01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 1: Usonian builds back in the fifties, those are about eleven twelve, 1523 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and fourteen hundred square feet, very minimalist, although 1524 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,519 Speaker 1: beautiful on their own right. Architecturally speaking, you could go 1525 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: with something like that a lot, and that would be 1526 01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,839 Speaker 1: less money to heat and air condition too, right, Paul. 1527 01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely loft his ceilings. 1528 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,640 Speaker 1: No, it's the same thing as cars. I think of 1529 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,559 Speaker 1: this car that we have now to tell you ride 1530 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 1: just got it a couple of years old. It's got 1531 01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 1: more things on it that you can shake a stick at. 1532 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Lord almighty, the technology built into this thing. 1533 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 1: They even told me I didn't want to buy the 1534 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,080 Speaker 1: extended warranty for the computer system, and the guy tries 1535 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:42,400 Speaker 1: to give me the hard sell. If you got to 1536 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 1: replace a computer system, it's more money than than then 1537 01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:49,679 Speaker 1: replacing the entire engine. So did I need all that stuff? 1538 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,599 Speaker 1: Did I go out shopping for all that stuff? 1539 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 5: No? 1540 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: But there it was got all the things that we 1541 01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 1: do need, the size we need for our house and 1542 01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,760 Speaker 1: dealing with the dogs and everything else, and so you 1543 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 1: got all that extra stuff bundled with it. But was it. 1544 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 1: Is it really necessary? Do I need a backup camera? 1545 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm capable. I've been driving my entire life. I can 1546 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,439 Speaker 1: live with that a backup camera. Apparently they're mandatory in 1547 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,639 Speaker 1: all cars. Now, well, there you go, cost of driving 1548 01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,120 Speaker 1: the car's gone up, and then moving away from homes 1549 01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,439 Speaker 1: and just looking at global warming and all these crazy ideas. No, 1550 01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: you can't have gas hookups anymore. Every appliance you have 1551 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:24,920 Speaker 1: must be energy certified, you know, and running electricity. You're 1552 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 1: not allowed to have any difference in appliance. It's just 1553 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,840 Speaker 1: edicts and mandates and these higher expectations. 1554 01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 3: We have. 1555 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,679 Speaker 1: Lots of reasons, and I think you're right on that point. 1556 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 1: Seven twenty five fifty five Carcit talk station Prestige interiors 1557 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:43,680 Speaker 1: for seeing the talk station seven thirty years fifty five 1558 01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,599 Speaker 1: krs the talk station Happy Tuesday. Yeah, Michael, you're right. 1559 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 1: He's just talking about cars and all the features they 1560 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:51,800 Speaker 1: have to have on them. 1561 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 11: Now. 1562 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,280 Speaker 1: I love abs breaks, for example, I feel safer on 1563 01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: the road because you have abs in your car mandated now. 1564 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 1: But he said, don't forget they have high intensity lights. 1565 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 1: He's the ones that blind the crap out of you. 1566 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 1: He said, we survived on sealed beams growing up, and 1567 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:12,640 Speaker 1: he also put it out that they cost a lot 1568 01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,839 Speaker 1: of money to fix. Yeah, that's true, we did survive, 1569 01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 1: but I put it out just barely. I do not 1570 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:20,920 Speaker 1: like the blinding effect of those lights either. But man, 1571 01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you can sure see a hell of a 1572 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 1: lot better mixed driving at night that much safe or 1573 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 1: more safe. So I know the arguments in favor of 1574 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,960 Speaker 1: all these mandates on automobiles and what they must include, 1575 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 1: but that has really really impacted affordability dramatically. So all right, 1576 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 1: let us see here back to some local stories. This 1577 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,600 Speaker 1: is a weird thing. Metro busses aren't going down to 1578 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 1: Government Square as often as they used to, and nobody 1579 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:52,800 Speaker 1: knew about this number. Government Square the highlight and the 1580 01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: hotbed of all the youths beating each other up in 1581 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 1: congregation and unruly behavior and just general a lot of 1582 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: criminal activit. That's where the buses are all drop off everybody. 1583 01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,320 Speaker 1: That's where they congregate. Apparently kids from different schools don't 1584 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,240 Speaker 1: get along with each other. They like to fight. So 1585 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,479 Speaker 1: that's the genesis of the problems. So what do you 1586 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,880 Speaker 1: do to fix it? Some suggested more law enforcement. Well, 1587 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:19,280 Speaker 1: Metro's decided to detour eight of ten buses from the 1588 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,120 Speaker 1: Government Square stop downtown. It's been going on for a 1589 01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,680 Speaker 1: while and mayor have to have Purvoll apparently is behind this. 1590 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 1: Thank you Patricia Gallagher Newberry of the enquire for letting 1591 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 1: me know about this. More than two hundred Metro buses 1592 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 1: are now skipping trips two or away from Fifth and 1593 01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 1: Walnut and now picking up and dropping off riders at 1594 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 1: the two impacted routes a few blocks away. Apparently a 1595 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:50,840 Speaker 1: lot of people didn't know about this. Pervoll caught out 1596 01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 1: Metro at a mid October press conference Metro's Government Square location. 1597 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,479 Speaker 1: He said, in his words, the hub that is bringing 1598 01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the criminal element into in a concentrate 1599 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: away into these specific areas. So after some shootings on 1600 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:07,479 Speaker 1: Fountain Square in mid October left a couple people with 1601 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 1: minor wounds, Purvoll said fourteenth on the fourteenth of the 1602 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,600 Speaker 1: press event last month, rerouting buses absolutely has to be 1603 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 1: a part of the conversation. Metro in response that it 1604 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 1: would be considering ways to improve safety at Government Square, 1605 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 1: but didn't respond to the Enquires then questions about whether 1606 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,200 Speaker 1: it would reroute buses, but emails obtained by the Enquirre 1607 01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,840 Speaker 1: via public records request, which they had to comply with, 1608 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,200 Speaker 1: showed that it's already pulled two hundred and thirty nine 1609 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:39,479 Speaker 1: buses every day away from Government Square. Pervoll wrote to 1610 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: Metro CEO earlier in October the City of Cincinnati's directing 1611 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,760 Speaker 1: Soda to temporarily reduce the number of routes at the 1612 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,639 Speaker 1: corner of Fifth and Walnut within forty eight hours, citing 1613 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 1: ongoing events in the urban core and saying the city 1614 01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:56,720 Speaker 1: needed time to develop improvements in the area. And they 1615 01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 1: said they'd comply within twenty four hours, and apparently they did. 1616 01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:08,360 Speaker 1: H accordance with your directive, Metro has created a plan 1617 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,920 Speaker 1: to reduce the number of buses serving Area D that's 1618 01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,559 Speaker 1: one side of that Government Square, by approximately seventy nine percent. 1619 01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,840 Speaker 1: And here's a weird thing I didn't quite understand, And 1620 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:22,240 Speaker 1: maybe somebody out there is smarter than me. Now the 1621 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:26,559 Speaker 1: reporting suggests Perval ask Metro to look at its public 1622 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 1: safety presence at Fountain Square and Government Square with particular 1623 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,320 Speaker 1: attention to illegal drug activity. That's a quote apparently from 1624 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,799 Speaker 1: AFT have provol And then they report that Metro spends 1625 01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:43,880 Speaker 1: more than one million dollars a year to hire Cincinnati 1626 01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 1: Police Department officers to monitor Government Square and other transit centers. 1627 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,720 Speaker 1: Metro spokesperson Bradley Mason, speaking of the inquire against it, 1628 01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,040 Speaker 1: said it spends another two hundred thousand dollars plus to 1629 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,639 Speaker 1: support the city's three to one one system for folks 1630 01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 1: to report non emergency complaints. Pause for a minute. The 1631 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:07,479 Speaker 1: since a police department has its own budget, Right, Government 1632 01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:12,519 Speaker 1: Square is part of the greater Cincinnati area. Right, isn't 1633 01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: that part of the area that the Sin Sint Police 1634 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:20,960 Speaker 1: Department should be patrolling? And if so, why would Metro 1635 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:22,600 Speaker 1: be spending more than a million dollars a year to 1636 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 1: hire Sinceint Police Department officers to monitor that area. So 1637 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:33,280 Speaker 1: we have a government funded service, the police being funded 1638 01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 1: additionally by Metro, which is government funded. Well, as long 1639 01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,519 Speaker 1: as you include the fairs that they collect, it's partially 1640 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 1: government funded. So I don't understand that. I really don't 1641 01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 1: And if you can explain it to me, police feel 1642 01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,759 Speaker 1: and feel free to give me a call. But bottom 1643 01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 1: line is a lot of people are finding out that 1644 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,559 Speaker 1: they're not going to the destination they thought they were going, 1645 01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 1: they're getting dropped off several blocks away, some of them 1646 01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,920 Speaker 1: complaining that the lack of people and humanity in the 1647 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,400 Speaker 1: area at dark hours makes them feel very, very afraid. 1648 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 1: Seven thirty five fifty five KR See the talk station 1649 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,639 Speaker 1: happened yesterday. I saw a part of the proceeding station 1650 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:19,760 Speaker 1: at seven forty on a Tuesday five hundred y two 1651 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,439 Speaker 1: three talk. Just remind remember the Steinholding Championships on the 1652 01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 1: twenty second coming up quickly. It's the super Bowl, the 1653 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 1: first ever super Bowl of Steinholding, right here in the 1654 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,280 Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. We're keeping it. They got a contract 1655 01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 1: to keep it here for the next five or six years. 1656 01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Then we're going to be in competition. So, uh, you 1657 01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,519 Speaker 1: weren't there for the very first super Bowl? My dad was. 1658 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 1: He got a pennant from that. He got a pennant 1659 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 1: from every super Bowl he went to, and he only 1660 01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: missed a handful of them over the years. But you 1661 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:46,479 Speaker 1: can be there at the first one, at least in 1662 01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,680 Speaker 1: so far as the National Steinholding Championship is concerned. It's 1663 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:51,719 Speaker 1: right there at fifty five cars dot com all the details. 1664 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,639 Speaker 1: This morning. We're talking a lot about affordability. I mentioned 1665 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,880 Speaker 1: the energy crisis, you know, us inflicting that wound on ourself, 1666 01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 1: and everybody's waking up to the reality that no, we 1667 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 1: can't go. It's impossible. Data centers, China competition. They've duped 1668 01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:07,360 Speaker 1: us into and bamboodle us into this believing this religion 1669 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:09,840 Speaker 1: that they're making money off of. This is like one 1670 01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:14,840 Speaker 1: of the worst Christian you know, fundamentalist minister setups of 1671 01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: all time. You got the big, dynamic guy that has 1672 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 1: these millions and millions of people that are sending him 1673 01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:20,600 Speaker 1: money every day, and the next thing you know, you 1674 01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:23,439 Speaker 1: find out, well, he's corrupt, he's screwing around, he's a 1675 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:25,680 Speaker 1: terrible human being, but he builked you out of all 1676 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:29,040 Speaker 1: the money. His message is what you were drawn to. 1677 01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:33,120 Speaker 1: You didn't know what was going on, was what was 1678 01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 1: happening with the money, but you thought it was going 1679 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,519 Speaker 1: to go to for you know, higher purposes. China has 1680 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,920 Speaker 1: duped you, much like that evil person, convincing you that 1681 01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 1: we need to buy all of their products because you 1682 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 1: evil Western countries are killing the planet with your pollution 1683 01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 1: by our windmills. We'll sell them at a loss, but 1684 01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:53,040 Speaker 1: we'll get you addicted to them, and we will busily 1685 01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:58,680 Speaker 1: build our own power infrastructure made off on legitimate, reliable 1686 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:05,320 Speaker 1: sources like nuclear and coal and natural gas. Ahah, that's 1687 01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,400 Speaker 1: baked in to the equation. So we're all waking up 1688 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:10,680 Speaker 1: to that now. So that article I read earlier on 1689 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:13,920 Speaker 1: that and even got the housing crisis and everything else 1690 01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,519 Speaker 1: dealing with affordability. And that's the big political topic these 1691 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,960 Speaker 1: days is affordability. And William mcgarrn wrote about this just 1692 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:25,280 Speaker 1: the other day. At first he he provides a definition 1693 01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 1: of Hutzbaugh, which that quality enshrined in a man who, 1694 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,720 Speaker 1: having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the 1695 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:37,240 Speaker 1: mercy of the court because he's an orphan. No, that's start. 1696 01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:39,240 Speaker 1: Today in Washington, we have a new example of hootsba 1697 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,920 Speaker 1: coming from the form of Democrats who spent years making 1698 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:47,639 Speaker 1: life more expensive for Americans and who propose fixes that 1699 01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 1: reflect the same government first thinking that made things unaffordable 1700 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:53,360 Speaker 1: in the first place. Does anybody really believe the answer 1701 01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,160 Speaker 1: that ails to what ails us is more government spending 1702 01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:57,960 Speaker 1: or yet another government program. And this is something I 1703 01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:01,639 Speaker 1: mentioned before. You got to obombacare with the subsidies, right, 1704 01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 1: it's not affordable. It's following apart we subsidize to hide 1705 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:06,919 Speaker 1: the true cost of it, and we create an extension 1706 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:09,240 Speaker 1: of the subsidies because oh my god, COVID we have 1707 01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 1: to you know, wave the premium on it. And then 1708 01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:13,400 Speaker 1: they want to extend them even more because well, it's 1709 01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:16,519 Speaker 1: a train wreck. I mentioned in the context of Germany. 1710 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:20,360 Speaker 1: Germany goes full on green renewable energy, closes its nuclear pants, 1711 01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,040 Speaker 1: and now it plants and is now a subsidizing industry. 1712 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 1: So government, meaning the taxpayers, are now funding the electricity 1713 01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:30,960 Speaker 1: bills of industry. Oh, it's only for a few years 1714 01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,800 Speaker 1: until we get back on track and create more reliable 1715 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 1: energy sources. But yeah, they thought that they were going 1716 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:39,200 Speaker 1: to reelect it and extend these subsidies into forever under Obamacare. 1717 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,200 Speaker 1: Didn't work out that well. Will the Germans build a 1718 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,480 Speaker 1: new infrastructure over the next three years of these subsidies. 1719 01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:46,960 Speaker 1: Probably not. But that's a government solution to a problem 1720 01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:51,960 Speaker 1: that government created. This should be an opportunity for President 1721 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 1: Trump and Republicans mcgirn, right, so they could point out 1722 01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,599 Speaker 1: that most of the time Democratic proposals to make things 1723 01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:02,360 Speaker 1: affordable simply shift who gets stuck with a bill? Where 1724 01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,280 Speaker 1: were the Democrats now hollering about affordability during the first 1725 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,880 Speaker 1: four years, when President Biden was spending regulating an otherwise 1726 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,000 Speaker 1: expanding government in ways that priced the American dream out 1727 01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:15,439 Speaker 1: of reach for millions. Good question. William. Take one example, 1728 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:18,439 Speaker 1: when Biden entered the Oval office in twenty twenty one, 1729 01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:20,960 Speaker 1: the median age of first time home buyers with thirty three. 1730 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,080 Speaker 1: Now it's a record forty for most families. That means 1731 01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 1: they can't even think about buying a home until their 1732 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:34,240 Speaker 1: children are grown. Democrats have an answer, but it's wrong socialism. 1733 01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:38,400 Speaker 1: Joe Strecker observed that he thinks Mayor aftab Perval is 1734 01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:42,280 Speaker 1: sitting behind his desk watching mom Donnie in New York 1735 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:46,439 Speaker 1: seek to have price controls on rent. You know, the 1736 01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,360 Speaker 1: old rent control. Hm. Let's see if it works there. 1737 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:52,000 Speaker 1: They will take this brand new development at Liberty and 1738 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:55,920 Speaker 1: Walnut and make those fifteen thous or fifteen hundred dollars 1739 01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:58,760 Speaker 1: a month affordable homes. Well, let's turn them down to 1740 01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:02,360 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty. We'll see if the developer likes that. Sorry, 1741 01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 1: Democrats have an answer, socialism, He says, it wasn't that 1742 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:09,839 Speaker 1: long ago. The Bertie Sanders with a gadfly from Vermont. 1743 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 1: But with the Democrats, Socialist of America Zoron Mamdami's decisive 1744 01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,719 Speaker 1: election as mayor of New York and fellow socialist Katie 1745 01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,519 Speaker 1: Wilson triumphant in Seattle, these socialists are threatened to transform 1746 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,679 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in their image. On Sunday Fox News, 1747 01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:28,479 Speaker 1: a Democratic former Chief Council a House Judiciary Committee Julian 1748 01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:33,479 Speaker 1: Epstein summed up where the party is. He said, the 1749 01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,200 Speaker 1: problem with the Democratic Party is that all the energy 1750 01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 1: and charisma is with the socialist left. The moderates are 1751 01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:43,599 Speaker 1: a dying breed right now. Moderates have no leverage, they 1752 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,720 Speaker 1: have no organized principles, they have no ideas, and that's 1753 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: why the party is going increasingly left. That's a Democrat 1754 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,360 Speaker 1: problem right now. Republicans have their own challenges. For one thing, 1755 01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:57,400 Speaker 1: no one is going to confuse mister Trump with Adam Smith. 1756 01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:01,479 Speaker 1: With The country today needs is less go government, lower taxes, 1757 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,680 Speaker 1: and lighter regulations to unleash the creative energies of the 1758 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:09,000 Speaker 1: American people. Instead of a so bold an agenda, Republicans 1759 01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:14,400 Speaker 1: offer better management, which isn't enough management in the form 1760 01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:16,559 Speaker 1: of faring out fraud, waste, and abuse. For example, I 1761 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:20,280 Speaker 1: will interject Trump has an incredible achievements and has pushed 1762 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,679 Speaker 1: to get America back to work, but he hasn't hesitated 1763 01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,760 Speaker 1: to intervene in the economy, notably imposing tariffs. Last week, 1764 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:27,800 Speaker 1: he was compelled to roll back duties on more than 1765 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,680 Speaker 1: two hundred agricultural products, including coffee and beef, because they 1766 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:35,760 Speaker 1: were proving counterproductive. It makes for a confusing message. The 1767 01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:39,559 Speaker 1: classic free market approach is to recognize that government's job 1768 01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 1: is to create the conditions for Americans to better themselves. 1769 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,479 Speaker 1: The government ensures a sound currency, the rule of law, 1770 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:49,960 Speaker 1: in space for people to use their talents in the marketplace. 1771 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,000 Speaker 1: We elect Republicans are we at least we used to 1772 01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:55,040 Speaker 1: not because they better manage the economy because they know 1773 01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 1: it is hubrious to assume that the smart people with 1774 01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 1: political power can pick winners and losers and what is 1775 01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:04,920 Speaker 1: the right and what the right price should be. Look 1776 01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 1: at the three markets that affect American families the most, education, housing, 1777 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:10,800 Speaker 1: and healthcare. It'd be hard to find markets that have 1778 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:14,320 Speaker 1: had as much government involvement as these, and what a 1779 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,880 Speaker 1: disaster that has been, especially in the democratic stronghold of 1780 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:23,040 Speaker 1: America's big cities, take Obamacare please. When Congress was considering 1781 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:26,200 Speaker 1: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Active, Americans heard reassurances 1782 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 1: that even its most ardent defenders couldn't believe. Remember how 1783 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:33,640 Speaker 1: Obamacare would be bend the cost curve, ie, slow the 1784 01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:36,160 Speaker 1: rate of growth. How about if you liked your health 1785 01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:39,120 Speaker 1: care plan, you can keep it. How the bill wouldn't 1786 01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:40,559 Speaker 1: add a dime to the deficit. 1787 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 2: Huh. 1788 01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:43,760 Speaker 1: None of that turned out to be true. So here 1789 01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,920 Speaker 1: we are fifteen years later, in Congress is debating on 1790 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:49,120 Speaker 1: whether expanded subsidies sold to the public as a temporary 1791 01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:53,960 Speaker 1: measure during COVID should expire. That's a conversation that Germans 1792 01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,920 Speaker 1: will be having about energy in three years. Americans are 1793 01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 1: better off now than they were under Joe Biden, but 1794 01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:02,640 Speaker 1: their lingers an unease over whether the American dream is 1795 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,680 Speaker 1: really back. Americans aren't going to like being told they 1796 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,720 Speaker 1: are better off if they don't feel it in their 1797 01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:14,840 Speaker 1: own families. Good points William Good points seven forty eight, 1798 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 1: confusion of free market seven fifty two. If you give 1799 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:25,479 Speaker 1: out KRC detalk station, Happy Tuesday. So government problem or 1800 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:27,759 Speaker 1: government solutions come with a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse. 1801 01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:29,439 Speaker 1: Sort of continuing the theme here this morning, and I 1802 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,320 Speaker 1: had a couple of articles about how many billions of 1803 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:36,759 Speaker 1: dollars are stolen from SNAP, about twelve billion annually. People 1804 01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:38,439 Speaker 1: that are on it that should not be on it, 1805 01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,880 Speaker 1: People are enrolled in multiple programs that should not be well. 1806 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,679 Speaker 1: Guess what Donald Trump administration's got a great idea, according 1807 01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 1: to Agricultural Secretary Brook Rollins yesterday saying, the administration is 1808 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:53,080 Speaker 1: going to require all participants in SNAP to reapply for benefits. 1809 01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,559 Speaker 1: This for the purpose of preventing fraud. And why wouldn't 1810 01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,280 Speaker 1: you want this? And think about being an elected official. 1811 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 1: They take your tax dollars from you, Republicans, Democrats, independents alike, socialists, 1812 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,040 Speaker 1: everybody takes your money from you. Don't you think that 1813 01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:09,519 Speaker 1: you're deserving of a fiduciary obligation from them with how 1814 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,360 Speaker 1: your money is managed? And that they everyone, all political stripes, 1815 01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 1: has an obligation to ferret out fraud, waste and abuse. 1816 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,680 Speaker 1: Isn't this something we can grab our hands around uniformly 1817 01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:21,600 Speaker 1: and say, you're right? The law says this person or 1818 01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,839 Speaker 1: this group of people or this category of people apply 1819 01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,559 Speaker 1: or can apply and qualify for it. And if you're 1820 01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 1: not within that group, you don't qualify, and you're not 1821 01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:34,400 Speaker 1: allowed to get it. Simple right. Forty million Americans on 1822 01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,160 Speaker 1: the SNAP program and apparently a lot of fraud wasted abuse. 1823 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:44,080 Speaker 1: So children states to share data on recipients right after 1824 01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,559 Speaker 1: taking office in February, but only twenty nine states agreed 1825 01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:53,720 Speaker 1: to do that. Limited data already revealed significant misuse. One 1826 01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:58,679 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six thousand dead individuals five hundred thousand 1827 01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:03,120 Speaker 1: people receiving SNAP fits in the states that took advantage 1828 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,560 Speaker 1: of looking at their data against the federal data that 1829 01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:08,599 Speaker 1: previously was not available. The Biden administration made it impossible 1830 01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:16,360 Speaker 1: to get this data. Ask yourself why. Data from the 1831 01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,519 Speaker 1: Department of Agriculture indicate more than two hundred and twenty 1832 01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,559 Speaker 1: six thousand fraudulent benefit claims in more than six hundred 1833 01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:27,840 Speaker 1: and ninety one thousand fraudulent transactions were approved. This relates 1834 01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:31,720 Speaker 1: to SNAP households that did not authorize or not authorized. 1835 01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,679 Speaker 1: There's also card skimming and card cloning and other forms 1836 01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:37,439 Speaker 1: of electronic theft that are out there in the world, 1837 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:41,120 Speaker 1: and they say organized. You know, foreign nationals are taking 1838 01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:44,160 Speaker 1: advantage of the holes in our system that are taking 1839 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 1: money out of the mouths of those who are really 1840 01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:54,519 Speaker 1: in need of it. So apparently, according to the ag 1841 01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of the Trump administration, is removed about seven hundred 1842 01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,679 Speaker 1: thousand people from SNAP. They've also rest of one hundred 1843 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:05,599 Speaker 1: and eighteen people in connection with this fraud, but that 1844 01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:08,280 Speaker 1: this fraud exists. And I go back to the Biden 1845 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:11,840 Speaker 1: administration by way, by contrast to the Trump administration, they 1846 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,360 Speaker 1: had the resources, the means, and the ability to crack 1847 01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,720 Speaker 1: down on fraud, wasting abuse. These are people who are 1848 01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:21,400 Speaker 1: not allowed to be on it or otherwise criminal elements, 1849 01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,559 Speaker 1: and people who've registered from multiple different programs in multiple states. 1850 01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:30,760 Speaker 1: Why would any politician not want to go after this 1851 01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:35,040 Speaker 1: at minimum in an effort to bolster their own credibility. 1852 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 1: I fought for a SNAP. I fought against the shutdown 1853 01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,160 Speaker 1: because people were not getting the food that they needed. 1854 01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,759 Speaker 1: But you know what, I refuse to allow the SNAP 1855 01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,080 Speaker 1: to be raided by a bunch of criminals and by 1856 01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:49,400 Speaker 1: people who are you know, builking the system. That sounds 1857 01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:54,160 Speaker 1: like a message the demostrats should should embrace rather than 1858 01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 1: cover up.

And now they're having 1905 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:33,280 Speaker 5: a very difficult time operating because of the fact that 1906 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:34,440 Speaker 5: they're getting exposed. 1907 01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:38,559 Speaker 1: Well, I guess I'm kind of curious to know. Listen, 1908 01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,240 Speaker 1: I've been hearing about cartels in Mexico for a long 1909 01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 1: time now, most notably back in let's say, when I 1910 01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:46,080 Speaker 1: was in high school in the eighties and nineties, you 1911 01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:51,559 Speaker 1: heard about the cartels in South America. Columbia for example, 1912 01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,920 Speaker 1: immediately comes to mind. We got some big names in 1913 01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:56,600 Speaker 1: the cartel world have come up. But is this a 1914 01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:59,639 Speaker 1: more recent phenomenon of these cartels in Mexico. 1915 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:05,880 Speaker 5: Well, the basic gist of it is that when there 1916 01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:09,639 Speaker 5: was always a cartel in Mexico, right, there was one 1917 01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:15,200 Speaker 5: specific large cartel, And what basically happened was the US 1918 01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:19,800 Speaker 5: went after cartels in Colombia, and so the Columbian said, Hey, 1919 01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:23,280 Speaker 5: we don't really want to fight with the US government 1920 01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:26,679 Speaker 5: any longer, and then this cartel in Mexico said, hey, 1921 01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,360 Speaker 5: why don't you just sell us the cocaine and we'll 1922 01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:32,920 Speaker 5: be the ones getting it into the United States. We'll 1923 01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,559 Speaker 5: take the risk, we'll take the heat, but will take 1924 01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:37,880 Speaker 5: a lot of the profits. So the Columbian said, okay, 1925 01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:42,080 Speaker 5: that sounds great. So in the process of that, the 1926 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,679 Speaker 5: one major cartel in Mexico got really out of hand 1927 01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,799 Speaker 5: killed a usde agent, and Kiki came rain and tortured 1928 01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,280 Speaker 5: him ruthlessly, and the US went after that cartel. That 1929 01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:58,120 Speaker 5: cartel decentralized, and once it decentralized, all of those factions 1930 01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:02,040 Speaker 5: started to fight each other basically, and here we are today. 1931 01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:07,320 Speaker 5: So it's been a huge mess. That's the important thing 1932 01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,040 Speaker 5: for people to know. And I'm sure a lot of 1933 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:14,679 Speaker 5: listeners do know this or have heard it, but many 1934 01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:20,960 Speaker 5: facets of Mexico's government are controlled by these cartels, and 1935 01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:26,040 Speaker 5: that poses a pretty significant problem for US security because 1936 01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:29,439 Speaker 5: you have our neighbor to the south where their government 1937 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:36,800 Speaker 5: is primarily controlled by these paramilitary, transnational criminal organizations that 1938 01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:40,599 Speaker 5: we call cartels, and that poses unique challenges to our 1939 01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 5: security and our safety, and not to mention just what 1940 01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:47,520 Speaker 5: it does to our loved ones who struggle with addictions 1941 01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:51,400 Speaker 5: and what have you. But just overall, it poses some 1942 01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:55,240 Speaker 5: major problems for US. It poses major security threats when 1943 01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:59,679 Speaker 5: you look at China constantly trying to influence that government 1944 01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:05,840 Speaker 5: ago and have relationships with these transnational criminal organizations. You know, 1945 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:13,000 Speaker 5: China's constantly getting these major infrastructure contracts in Mexico. China 1946 01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:17,320 Speaker 5: is competing with US, yes, for influence in Mexico. That's 1947 01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:18,799 Speaker 5: a problem for US, right. 1948 01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:22,559 Speaker 1: And I presume that that also involves China working with 1949 01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:25,320 Speaker 1: the cartels who apparently are largely in charge. I think 1950 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:28,880 Speaker 1: of the politicians, members of law enforcement, judges, they can't. 1951 01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:32,320 Speaker 1: If I was in their position, I'd be scared, live 1952 01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:33,760 Speaker 1: in daylight to be scared, I'd be all the time. 1953 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:35,200 Speaker 1: To the extent I want to do something to make 1954 01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 1: my neighborhood better. I want to go after the law. 1955 01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:40,479 Speaker 1: I want to engage in law enforcement, go after these 1956 01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:43,080 Speaker 1: cartels and prosecute them, convict them, whatever I can do. 1957 01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,759 Speaker 1: But the minute I raise a voice along those lines, 1958 01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:47,559 Speaker 1: I'm next on the hit list, right. 1959 01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:52,040 Speaker 5: That's right, And their families get murdered. There's a segment 1960 01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:55,040 Speaker 5: and they say plateo, O plomo and as do you 1961 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,400 Speaker 5: want silver or do you want lead? We can make 1962 01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:59,240 Speaker 5: you rich, or we can kill you and all of 1963 01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:02,240 Speaker 5: your loved ones. And so most people choose to just 1964 01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:05,360 Speaker 5: accept the money and do what the various cartels in 1965 01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:06,240 Speaker 5: the region want. 1966 01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:06,479 Speaker 2: Them to do. 1967 01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:11,520 Speaker 5: But we found a very unique formula, like a recipe 1968 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:17,240 Speaker 5: for really sticking it to these cartels that's worked. And 1969 01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:21,000 Speaker 5: what we realized is that these cartels don't want attention. 1970 01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:27,479 Speaker 5: And if people begin to shower attention, shower attention upon them, 1971 01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:32,680 Speaker 5: what happens is the US gets upset, then Mexico gets embarrassed, 1972 01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:36,000 Speaker 5: and then Mexico starts trying to address them, right, Mexico 1973 01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:39,160 Speaker 5: starts sending in the military and what have you. So 1974 01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:44,599 Speaker 5: what we've done is systematically go after various partel leaders, 1975 01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:48,559 Speaker 5: publish their photos, show who they really are and what 1976 01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:52,200 Speaker 5: they're doing, and then that ultimately leads to their capture 1977 01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,880 Speaker 5: or at least to their death. And you know, obviously 1978 01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:59,519 Speaker 5: there's a lot of work to do, but a lot 1979 01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,200 Speaker 5: of work been done. There's a lot of cartel bosses 1980 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:05,400 Speaker 5: who are in US custody now who would not have 1981 01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:07,680 Speaker 5: been without our reporting. And there's a lot who are 1982 01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:10,840 Speaker 5: dead who would not have been without our reporting, and 1983 01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:14,760 Speaker 5: we're very proud of that, this recipe, because people in 1984 01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:19,160 Speaker 5: Mexico really can't speak out against them openly without getting murdered. 1985 01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:22,880 Speaker 5: But what we found, we took a gamble and we thought, Okay, 1986 01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:27,720 Speaker 5: we're us journalists, We're connected, right, we're brighte Bart, and 1987 01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:30,080 Speaker 5: we think that these guys are not going to want 1988 01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:33,120 Speaker 5: the heat of killing us. We think that we will 1989 01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:36,720 Speaker 5: get away with saying what we want to say where 1990 01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:40,160 Speaker 5: people in Mexico can't. And it turns out so far, 1991 01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:44,880 Speaker 5: god forbid, you know that changes. But so far they 1992 01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:49,000 Speaker 5: have not killed me. So it's been very successful. And 1993 01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,040 Speaker 5: you know, a lot of news outlets probably would want 1994 01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:55,320 Speaker 5: to do that, but their insurance won't let them, or 1995 01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:57,799 Speaker 5: their bosses won't let them because of the risk involved. 1996 01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:01,400 Speaker 5: But thankfully we worked for Bright and Breitbart is used 1997 01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:04,400 Speaker 5: to walking toward the fire, and Breitbart's used to take 1998 01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,200 Speaker 5: in these bold chances, and they allowed us to do that. 1999 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,640 Speaker 1: Oh, Brandon, without question. And I have to give Breitbart 2000 01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:13,040 Speaker 1: all the props in the world for being one of 2001 01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:15,599 Speaker 1: the first, if not the first, to bring the open 2002 01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:18,400 Speaker 1: border reality to everyone's attention. You were there, you were 2003 01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:21,280 Speaker 1: on the border, m account of other places. You witnessed, 2004 01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,519 Speaker 1: you videoed, you photographed, you interview, the influx of humanity. 2005 01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:27,120 Speaker 1: It just was overwhelming and everyone meanwhile, I was trying 2006 01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:29,160 Speaker 1: to deny that that was happening. Oh, there's nothing going 2007 01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:31,240 Speaker 1: on down there, but he's logging Brightbard are like, Nope, 2008 01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:32,680 Speaker 1: there it is right there. I can see with my 2009 01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,760 Speaker 1: own eyes and read with my own eyes. I mean, 2010 01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:37,840 Speaker 1: it's You're a powerful force out there. And I guess, 2011 01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:41,960 Speaker 1: I guess, how is this going to help the Mexican government? 2012 01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:45,720 Speaker 1: I our being, I'm wondering, is this going to turn 2013 01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:48,600 Speaker 1: into like a Venezuela situation? Because we're moving more and 2014 01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:51,880 Speaker 1: more military hardware into Venezuela, obviously an epicenter of fentanyl 2015 01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:53,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of other drugs that are flowing out. 2016 01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:56,320 Speaker 1: But is this the direction we're going with Mexico or 2017 01:49:56,360 --> 01:50:01,439 Speaker 1: our relations with the Mexican government decent enough that we 2018 01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,160 Speaker 1: can actually effectuate working with them to bring about some 2019 01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:05,799 Speaker 1: change and get rid of these guys. 2020 01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:11,880 Speaker 5: Well, okay, so in Mexico everything is for sale. It 2021 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:16,920 Speaker 5: is true that bad guys, to put it simply right, 2022 01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:20,800 Speaker 5: bad guys can buy their freedom, and bad guys can 2023 01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:23,679 Speaker 5: buy their way out of trouble. But it is also 2024 01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:28,880 Speaker 5: true that good guys can buy trouble for the bad guys, right, 2025 01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:33,600 Speaker 5: it just depends on who's the highest bidder, and that's 2026 01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:35,560 Speaker 5: where I think the US goes with this. You have 2027 01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:38,840 Speaker 5: to remember Mexico is full of a lot of good people, 2028 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,479 Speaker 5: like most places in the world, and there are a 2029 01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:45,000 Speaker 5: lot of good people in Mexico who want to see change. 2030 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:48,240 Speaker 5: You know, Mexico is listed as not a failed state, 2031 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:53,240 Speaker 5: but a fragile state, meaning that it's teetering. It's teetering. 2032 01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:56,360 Speaker 5: You know. They have thirty two states in Mexico, and 2033 01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:58,680 Speaker 5: out of the thirty two states, more than half of 2034 01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:04,480 Speaker 5: them are actually under the physical control of these transnational 2035 01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:10,000 Speaker 5: criminal organizations. So the central government doesn't even have control 2036 01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:14,600 Speaker 5: over its territory. Right. These cartels do. Various cartels do, 2037 01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:17,719 Speaker 5: and people need to understand that. Like in the US, 2038 01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:20,000 Speaker 5: we can call nine one one if there's a bad 2039 01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:23,559 Speaker 5: guy somewhere, then ultimately the US marshals or the FBI 2040 01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:27,040 Speaker 5: or the DEA or can go and get this bad guy. 2041 01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:30,519 Speaker 5: But in Mexico, when there's a bad guy they want 2042 01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,040 Speaker 5: to get in over half of their states, they can't 2043 01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:35,439 Speaker 5: just send a few agents to go and arrest them. 2044 01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:37,800 Speaker 5: They have to send in their marines, they have to 2045 01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:41,679 Speaker 5: send in armored divisions to go and get these bad 2046 01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:44,679 Speaker 5: guys because they have heavy weaponry. They have drones, they 2047 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:49,280 Speaker 5: have Russian made rpges, they have surface to air missiles. 2048 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:56,040 Speaker 5: In some cases, these are little militaries within a greater country. 2049 01:51:56,960 --> 01:52:00,479 Speaker 5: So realizing all of that, you just have an Okay, 2050 01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:04,080 Speaker 5: there are people that the who the US can work 2051 01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:07,479 Speaker 5: with in Mexico, in Mexico's government to get things done 2052 01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,479 Speaker 5: and to get bad guys. But usually when it's done, 2053 01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:13,720 Speaker 5: it's done without the knowledge of the you know, the 2054 01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:18,360 Speaker 5: overall government, right it's done with with people. It's usually 2055 01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:20,080 Speaker 5: through the intelligence to me, the. 2056 01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:24,640 Speaker 1: Back channel communication, the government backchannel communications right right now, government. 2057 01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:28,040 Speaker 5: But not the government as a whole, because the government 2058 01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:31,559 Speaker 5: as a whole, even its current Secretary of Defense in Mexico, 2059 01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:36,719 Speaker 5: is heavily connected to one particular cartel Boston No Minshaw. 2060 01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:40,439 Speaker 5: And so what do you do in that situation? What 2061 01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:42,920 Speaker 5: you do is you work with you know, you don't 2062 01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 5: really need US troops on the ground or boots on 2063 01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,599 Speaker 5: the ground. You just work with people in Mexico who 2064 01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:52,360 Speaker 5: who want to work with you, and you do it around, 2065 01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:54,919 Speaker 5: you know, behind the back of other people in Mexico. 2066 01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,679 Speaker 5: So that's what's going on. That's where this goes in Mexico. 2067 01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:01,200 Speaker 5: I don't think Mexico turns into Venezuela if we're vigilant, 2068 01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:05,559 Speaker 5: but it could if we're not. It could if we 2069 01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,559 Speaker 5: leave it alone. It could if we continue to let 2070 01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:11,559 Speaker 5: it fester as we did for you know, you have 2071 01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:17,200 Speaker 5: to remember, prior to twenty fifteen, maybe twenty sixteen, the 2072 01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:20,400 Speaker 5: Democratic Party line was that there's nothing going on here 2073 01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,639 Speaker 5: on the border, right, everything's cool, Status quo is okay, 2074 01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:27,519 Speaker 5: And clearly that's not the case as we all now see. 2075 01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:32,120 Speaker 1: Well, going back very briefly, that is China, I understand, 2076 01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,599 Speaker 1: trying to trying to get a foothold literally everywhere around 2077 01:53:34,600 --> 01:53:37,280 Speaker 1: the globe, doing great inroads in Africa. It's for their benefit, 2078 01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:42,000 Speaker 1: trying to substitute America's influence for theirs. I'm just kind 2079 01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:46,080 Speaker 1: of curious as we part company today, Brandon, is are 2080 01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:49,719 Speaker 1: the China is chrying to enjoying the benefits of working 2081 01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:52,719 Speaker 1: with these evil cartels or do they have a similar 2082 01:53:52,720 --> 01:53:55,640 Speaker 1: interest like we would in getting rid of them, To 2083 01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:57,920 Speaker 1: their benefit. In other words, all the Chinese helped us 2084 01:53:57,920 --> 01:53:59,800 Speaker 1: get rid of the cartels, We love them, and you're 2085 01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:02,520 Speaker 1: welcome to our country. Which direction is this going, Brandon. 2086 01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:07,200 Speaker 5: Well, I think that China is getting revenge on the 2087 01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:12,639 Speaker 5: West for that happened historically without theium in their country. 2088 01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:15,559 Speaker 5: You know, if you have a government like China that 2089 01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:20,080 Speaker 5: controls every facet, monitors every facet within their society, every 2090 01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:24,639 Speaker 5: facet of production, every facet of shipping, yet they're shipping 2091 01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:28,120 Speaker 5: all of the precursor chemicals with Mexican cartels to make 2092 01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:32,400 Speaker 5: sentidel and that's amphetamine, then then you would have to 2093 01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:37,720 Speaker 5: say that the central government of China knows exactly that 2094 01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:41,520 Speaker 5: they are shipping these precursors to Mexican cartels. 2095 01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:43,440 Speaker 1: It's a weapon of war. It's a weapon of war. 2096 01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:47,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, it's degrading us. And that's what China's attempting 2097 01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:47,840 Speaker 5: to do. 2098 01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 1: Brandon Darby. Uh will if Donald Trump successfully negotiations and 2099 01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:55,160 Speaker 1: negotiates an agreement with China where they agree to help 2100 01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:57,960 Speaker 1: stop the flow of these precursor chemicals. Let's assume the 2101 01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:01,320 Speaker 1: impossible happens that in and of itself, wild go a 2102 01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:04,440 Speaker 1: long way to eradicate the cartels in Mexico. I would hope. 2103 01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:09,440 Speaker 5: Temporarily it would until I mean, you have to remember 2104 01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:13,360 Speaker 5: at this point these beasts are so entranched. Yes, they 2105 01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:16,600 Speaker 5: would just starting to produce their own pretersors. 2106 01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:19,000 Speaker 1: Fair enough, you could see that right on the horizon there. 2107 01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:21,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Darby join him tonight.

I'm just quick to draw 2123 01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:12,000 Speaker 1: some parallels between although it is not the hanging people 2124 01:56:12,040 --> 01:56:14,600 Speaker 1: from bridges kind of violence that the cartel's unleash upon 2125 01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:19,360 Speaker 1: people who disagree with them, but there seems to be 2126 01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:21,520 Speaker 1: an overwhelming component of that here in the United States 2127 01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:24,880 Speaker 1: as well. Again not necessarily as violent, but if you're 2128 01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:28,360 Speaker 1: an elected official, maybe you're on the bench, you're sitting 2129 01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:31,000 Speaker 1: there as a judge, maybe you're just on social media. 2130 01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's a lot of anger and 2131 01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:36,560 Speaker 1: a lot of unleashing of vitriol and vile against people 2132 01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:41,320 Speaker 1: for what they do in their job as an elected official, 2133 01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:44,000 Speaker 1: as a judge for example. Of course, we all know 2134 01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 1: the anger that was unleashed against law enforcement in this country. 2135 01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:49,360 Speaker 1: There are some politicians who do not believe in traditional 2136 01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:51,640 Speaker 1: methods of law enforcement. One of the reasons may be 2137 01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:53,680 Speaker 1: that they're getting a lot of pressure from these radical 2138 01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:57,000 Speaker 1: leftists in the form of threats of violence. We know 2139 01:56:57,080 --> 01:56:58,840 Speaker 1: all about them, You've read about them. It's been going 2140 01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:02,480 Speaker 1: on for a long time. But it's a frightening thing 2141 01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:06,440 Speaker 1: to think that our elected officials doing what they believe 2142 01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:08,920 Speaker 1: to be right for the betterment of all the you know, 2143 01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:13,200 Speaker 1: the United States, it's citizenry. They're constituents that they might 2144 01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:16,240 Speaker 1: capitulate to some evil actor out there because they're concerned 2145 01:57:16,240 --> 01:57:19,920 Speaker 1: about their own safety, their own well being. You know, 2146 01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:23,840 Speaker 1: there are crazies out there to try to assassinate politicians. 2147 01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:27,200 Speaker 1: Has that happened recently, Joe, you remember when that happened recently? 2148 01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:32,080 Speaker 1: You know, renowned officials, folks that are outstanding in terms 2149 01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,920 Speaker 1: of their political philosophy. And I don't recall any either, 2150 01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:36,520 Speaker 1: but you know, it is kind of a concern that 2151 01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:39,600 Speaker 1: might exist out there in the world. Daniel Davis Deep 2152 01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:41,840 Speaker 1: Dive coming up next. We talk a little bit about 2153 01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,800 Speaker 1: this Wow security u n goes with Trump and the 2154 01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:49,280 Speaker 1: Security Council. Also, will Ukraine be getting one hundred fighter 2155 01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:50,120 Speaker 1: jets from America? 2156 01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:52,760 Speaker 10: AMM fifty five krc the talk station. 2157 01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:56,800 Speaker 1: A twenty eight fifty five KRCD talk station. It's that 2158 01:57:56,840 --> 01:58:01,640 Speaker 1: time of the week, apploytment listening Daniel Davis Deep Dive. 2159 01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:04,080 Speaker 1: Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis as a podcast called The 2160 01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:05,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You can find out wherever you 2161 01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:07,600 Speaker 1: get your podcasts, and we are blessed to have him 2162 01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:09,840 Speaker 1: on the fifty five Casee Morning Show every Tuesday at 2163 01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,720 Speaker 1: this time to talk about stuff and things, usually in 2164 01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:15,440 Speaker 1: the area of war and military activity. Welcome back, sir. 2165 01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:16,760 Speaker 1: It is a pleasure to have you on the fifty 2166 01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:18,120 Speaker 1: five Cassey Morning Show, my friend. 2167 01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:20,920 Speaker 8: Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having 2168 01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:21,320 Speaker 8: me back. 2169 01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:23,240 Speaker 1: What is and let's start. I know you don't know 2170 01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:24,560 Speaker 1: what I want to start with, so here you go, 2171 01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:26,880 Speaker 1: Daniel Davis. I know you're capable of fielding your question 2172 01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:29,440 Speaker 1: from out in the world. The situation of the UN 2173 01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:35,480 Speaker 1: Security Council a thirteen to vote for President Trump's twenty 2174 01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:38,640 Speaker 1: point peace plan for Gaza, and call it what you will, 2175 01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:41,520 Speaker 1: but as I read this, and as I understand it, 2176 01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:46,800 Speaker 1: no recognition of a Palestinian state, the requirement that hamas 2177 01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:50,400 Speaker 1: disarming the Gaza demilitarized as a first step. And if 2178 01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:52,280 Speaker 1: you get to that part, then maybe we'll move on 2179 01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:55,160 Speaker 1: to what they'll call phase two. But for the most part, 2180 01:58:55,200 --> 01:58:58,760 Speaker 1: I found it interesting that the UN even approved this, 2181 01:58:59,080 --> 01:59:02,000 Speaker 1: and that Russia and or China didn't veto it, which 2182 01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:04,520 Speaker 1: they could have done. They abstained. So we have a 2183 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,680 Speaker 1: thirteen to ozero vote, which I can't remember the last 2184 01:59:07,720 --> 01:59:12,800 Speaker 1: time a pro US military strategy or US policy was 2185 01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:15,480 Speaker 1: fully embraced and not just shot down out right. Now, 2186 01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,360 Speaker 1: you can correct me on my history, my recollection, Daniel Davis, 2187 01:59:18,360 --> 01:59:21,520 Speaker 1: But what's your reaction to at least the UN approving this, 2188 01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:23,760 Speaker 1: because normally I find them to be a completely worth 2189 01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:24,560 Speaker 1: its organization. 2190 01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:31,000 Speaker 9: Well, just look int terms of what actually happened. There 2191 01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:34,760 Speaker 9: was the Trump's twenty point piece plan form the foundation 2192 01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:38,160 Speaker 9: of this agreement, and there is actually point number seventeen. 2193 01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:41,840 Speaker 9: There is a provision that leads to the eventual Palestinian state. 2194 01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:46,280 Speaker 9: So at least aspirationally is part of the deal, and 2195 01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:50,840 Speaker 9: aspiration is far from a concrete action plan. So I 2196 01:59:50,880 --> 01:59:55,640 Speaker 9: we'll see how that works out. But the first issue 2197 01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:57,680 Speaker 9: is the fact that this was Trump's plan and it 2198 01:59:57,680 --> 01:59:59,200 Speaker 9: was agreed to a while all these parties. 2199 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:02,480 Speaker 8: However, it's always you know some howevers. 2200 02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:07,400 Speaker 9: Here you have the opposition in the Israeli cabinet led 2201 02:00:07,440 --> 02:00:11,240 Speaker 9: by a guy named Lieberman. You have Smotrich and some 2202 02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:15,000 Speaker 9: of these others definitely against it, like vehemently against it. 2203 02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,920 Speaker 9: They think that it's a betrayal of of Israel, that 2204 02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:23,120 Speaker 9: it lays the foundation, especially because of this international Stabilization Force, 2205 02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:25,120 Speaker 9: it's supposed to come in and provide peace, et cetera. 2206 02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:27,640 Speaker 9: They're like that, that's gonna lay the foundation for our 2207 02:00:27,680 --> 02:00:31,160 Speaker 9: insecurity in the future. Then you have the Hamas side, 2208 02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:33,720 Speaker 9: and they just categorically rejected it. They said, no, we 2209 02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:36,400 Speaker 9: don't agree with this because it doesn't give enough benefits 2210 02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:39,680 Speaker 9: and freedoms to the and guarantees for the palaestinating people, 2211 02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:43,000 Speaker 9: et cetera. Everybody seems to like it, accept the Israelis 2212 02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:45,560 Speaker 9: in the in the Hamas side, So I'm not sure 2213 02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:48,560 Speaker 9: what to make of that. That's not entirely optimistic. But 2214 02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:54,200 Speaker 9: at least relatively speaking, the ceasefire is holding the casually 2215 02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:57,200 Speaker 9: count in the in the Gaza Strip, as opposed to 2216 02:00:57,200 --> 02:00:59,800 Speaker 9: the West Bank, where by the way, violence is spiking 2217 02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:02,400 Speaker 9: to to almost all time high levels. 2218 02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:04,160 Speaker 10: And let's not lose sight of that fact. 2219 02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:07,320 Speaker 9: But at least in the Gaza Strip, things are relatively holding, 2220 02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:10,560 Speaker 9: and as long as there's one more day without violence 2221 02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:13,200 Speaker 9: or limited violence in it to one more day, there's 2222 02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:15,600 Speaker 9: a chance that we can bring permanent. 2223 02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:16,120 Speaker 10: Peace to the situation. 2224 02:01:16,240 --> 02:01:19,000 Speaker 9: But we are way far from this turning into peace. 2225 02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,320 Speaker 9: This is just as you just pointed out. This is 2226 02:01:21,560 --> 02:01:24,120 Speaker 9: relatively This is kind of like phase one and a half, 2227 02:01:24,240 --> 02:01:25,800 Speaker 9: and now we have to do the hard part of 2228 02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:28,360 Speaker 9: phase two and we'll see how it goes from there. 2229 02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:32,800 Speaker 1: In terms of disarming, you know, getting I understand the concept, 2230 02:01:33,440 --> 02:01:37,040 Speaker 1: how does one bring that about? Obviously very complicated, especially 2231 02:01:37,040 --> 02:01:39,880 Speaker 1: when Hamas does not want to disarm. It's the only 2232 02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:42,680 Speaker 1: mechanism they have to contain or maintain any control or power. 2233 02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:45,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess it depends what the Palestinian people 2234 02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:48,400 Speaker 1: want by way of leadership. Of course the physical space gaza. 2235 02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:52,520 Speaker 1: But how if they could achieve disarmament, would that come about? 2236 02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Giving Hamas's resistance. 2237 02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:58,640 Speaker 9: It's going to be incredibly difficult, and you're gonna have 2238 02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:01,600 Speaker 9: to have the participation in operation of the Palestinian people. 2239 02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:05,120 Speaker 9: And listen, this is one of the areas I've several 2240 02:02:05,200 --> 02:02:08,440 Speaker 9: times under your show here talking about how I've been 2241 02:02:08,560 --> 02:02:11,120 Speaker 9: upset at the Israeli side because they have used a 2242 02:02:11,160 --> 02:02:13,160 Speaker 9: lot of violence against the people and they have not 2243 02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:16,280 Speaker 9: been straightforward with what they said and what they did, etc. 2244 02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:20,480 Speaker 9: But I'll tell you right now, the Hummas they have 2245 02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,480 Speaker 9: to be put lots of pressure has to be put 2246 02:02:22,520 --> 02:02:25,960 Speaker 9: on them, and primarily I think by the Arab coalition 2247 02:02:26,080 --> 02:02:29,080 Speaker 9: and the Arab countries in there, because the longer they 2248 02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:31,160 Speaker 9: drag their feet, and if they actually say, well, we're 2249 02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:33,240 Speaker 9: not going to accept this, they have no leverage. All 2250 02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:37,680 Speaker 9: they can do is just be persistent and forget about 2251 02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:39,400 Speaker 9: trying to do anything that brings the war to an 2252 02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:42,600 Speaker 9: end and then bring more firepower on the people of Palestine. 2253 02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:46,160 Speaker 9: So they have nothing to gain except for as continuation 2254 02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:48,000 Speaker 9: of the war. And I really hope that both the 2255 02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:51,480 Speaker 9: Palestinian people and the Arabs in the area bring pressure 2256 02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:54,160 Speaker 9: on them to do exactly what it is. There's nothing 2257 02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:56,800 Speaker 9: for them to gain and everything for the Palestinian people 2258 02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:59,120 Speaker 9: to gain by them doing what they're supposed to. 2259 02:03:00,160 --> 02:03:01,520 Speaker 10: We'll see if it turns out that way. 2260 02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 8: But that's the biggest impediment in the near term. 2261 02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's I want to draw a parallel 2262 02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:07,720 Speaker 1: to say something along the lines of will the Abraham 2263 02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:09,960 Speaker 1: Accords have gotten people to sort of put down their 2264 02:03:09,960 --> 02:03:13,720 Speaker 1: fighting words and agree to work together for a collective 2265 02:03:13,720 --> 02:03:17,640 Speaker 1: peace in the agreement in the region that coalition of 2266 02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:21,280 Speaker 1: I hope ever growing Arab countries that's the pressure that 2267 02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:24,640 Speaker 1: can help bring to bear on Hamas in the area. 2268 02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, is that kind of a working coalition that 2269 02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:27,440 Speaker 1: can do that. 2270 02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:30,880 Speaker 9: It is, But we also bear in mind that especially 2271 02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:33,760 Speaker 9: the kingpin of this, the Saudi Arabia, they want they're 2272 02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,000 Speaker 9: willing to do that, but they also have pressure on 2273 02:03:36,080 --> 02:03:39,240 Speaker 9: the Israeli side because they said, listen, we'll expand the 2274 02:03:39,840 --> 02:03:42,400 Speaker 9: Abraham Accords and we'll talk more peace on that, but 2275 02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:45,560 Speaker 9: you have to at least provide a viable path to 2276 02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:49,000 Speaker 9: a Palestinian statehood or freedom, and of course Israel doesn't 2277 02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:51,320 Speaker 9: want to do that. They've been just categorically opposed. That's 2278 02:03:51,360 --> 02:03:53,120 Speaker 9: one of the things that the Israeli side is most 2279 02:03:53,360 --> 02:03:55,920 Speaker 9: opposed to in this UN deal because it has the 2280 02:03:55,960 --> 02:03:59,600 Speaker 9: aspiration toward that. And then you know, how much pressure 2281 02:03:59,640 --> 02:04:01,400 Speaker 9: is you that's going to bring on Israel to abide 2282 02:04:01,440 --> 02:04:04,280 Speaker 9: by their portion? How much will Saddi Rabi, who's meeting 2283 02:04:04,280 --> 02:04:06,760 Speaker 9: with Trump today by the way, how much pressure will 2284 02:04:06,760 --> 02:04:09,120 Speaker 9: they put on the Hamas. 2285 02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:10,600 Speaker 10: Side to do what they're supposed to do. 2286 02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:14,040 Speaker 9: So lots of people want peace, and so the matter 2287 02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:15,440 Speaker 9: of how much pressure they're going to put on the 2288 02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:17,520 Speaker 9: two sides to bring this all together. 2289 02:04:18,200 --> 02:04:21,680 Speaker 1: So who would be the ones arming Hamas on a 2290 02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:24,480 Speaker 1: going forward basis given that you know, Iran's economy seems 2291 02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,200 Speaker 1: to be collapsing, They're going to have to move the 2292 02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:29,440 Speaker 1: capital because of lack of water. Of course, the sanctions, 2293 02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:32,240 Speaker 1: international pressure. I'm just where are they going to continue 2294 02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:33,080 Speaker 1: to get their hardware? 2295 02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:36,760 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that listen, as long as there's money involved 2296 02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:40,600 Speaker 9: and the hatred of Israel, that weapons will be found, 2297 02:04:40,640 --> 02:04:43,840 Speaker 9: There'll be there's ways they can get smuggled in. You 2298 02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:47,720 Speaker 9: just can't stop everything, and people are motivated, they will find. 2299 02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:48,560 Speaker 10: A way to get things done. 2300 02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:52,440 Speaker 9: So, uh, there's enough people that hate Israel around the world, 2301 02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:55,560 Speaker 9: and there's there's money and weapons are going to find 2302 02:04:55,600 --> 02:04:56,960 Speaker 9: their way in there one way or the other. 2303 02:04:57,120 --> 02:04:59,240 Speaker 1: Point point while taking understood, just needed to be on 2304 02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:02,120 Speaker 1: the record on that real quick. Here Manuel Macrone planning 2305 02:05:02,160 --> 02:05:04,560 Speaker 1: on sending one hundred fighter jets to Zelenski over the 2306 02:05:04,560 --> 02:05:09,280 Speaker 1: next ten years. Ukrainians still demanding more Tomahawks. That this 2307 02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:12,680 Speaker 1: is the same conversation you haven't heaven for weeks, Daniel Davis. 2308 02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:14,600 Speaker 1: Is ain't gonna help anything, is it? 2309 02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:17,880 Speaker 9: No, it is And I actually made that point on 2310 02:05:17,880 --> 02:05:21,680 Speaker 9: my show this week already that this is an extension 2311 02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:24,760 Speaker 9: of the things that we're doing that don't help because 2312 02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:27,760 Speaker 9: we've had the you know, it's gonna be the attackings, 2313 02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:29,520 Speaker 9: the long range, and it was gonna be the storm shadow, 2314 02:05:29,560 --> 02:05:31,240 Speaker 9: then it was gonna be the F sixteen's that's what 2315 02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:33,480 Speaker 9: was good, and none of them made any difference here 2316 02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:35,720 Speaker 9: and now talking about just a different kind of jet, 2317 02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:41,440 Speaker 9: that's not the problem. That's not where Israel, that's not 2318 02:05:41,560 --> 02:05:43,440 Speaker 9: where the Ukraine side's problems are. 2319 02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:46,320 Speaker 8: In fact, it was a great piece on I think it. 2320 02:05:46,240 --> 02:05:51,280 Speaker 9: Was last Friday by Julian Rupke, a German journalist who's 2321 02:05:51,280 --> 02:05:53,480 Speaker 9: been covering this war from the beginning, one of the best, 2322 02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:57,800 Speaker 9: most accurate, definitely pro Ukraine, but he's also accurate in 2323 02:05:57,840 --> 02:05:59,720 Speaker 9: most of his stuff, and he had a piece where 2324 02:05:59,720 --> 02:06:01,480 Speaker 9: he just, let's call this what it is. 2325 02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:04,240 Speaker 10: Ukraine is on a path to a strategic defeat. 2326 02:06:04,320 --> 02:06:06,680 Speaker 9: They will not win if they keep going in they 2327 02:06:06,720 --> 02:06:10,640 Speaker 9: self delusion, both Ukraine government and their military and the 2328 02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:13,400 Speaker 9: Western people. And one of the things he pointed out 2329 02:06:13,480 --> 02:06:15,720 Speaker 9: was you're not doing the things that actually matter on 2330 02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:18,839 Speaker 9: the battlefield. He said, send in like millions of drones, 2331 02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:22,080 Speaker 9: not these big high tech weapons systems. That that's not 2332 02:06:22,200 --> 02:06:24,600 Speaker 9: where the fots won are lost on the battlefield. It's 2333 02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:27,200 Speaker 9: with the drone situation, and he said, Russia has a 2334 02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:31,120 Speaker 9: huge advantage and it's growing, and we're we're tinkering around 2335 02:06:30,800 --> 02:06:34,480 Speaker 9: with jets over ten years. I know, come on, man, 2336 02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:38,000 Speaker 9: that's humiliating and it's embarrassing, and it's just helping for 2337 02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:38,880 Speaker 9: Ukraine to lose. 2338 02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I laugh over that point, but that's I 2339 02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:44,160 Speaker 1: really literally laugh when I saw that over ten years, 2340 02:06:44,400 --> 02:06:46,920 Speaker 1: because it goes back to the reality of it's every 2341 02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:49,880 Speaker 1: missile system there is. There's a finite amount in a 2342 02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:51,880 Speaker 1: limited number of places they can go in the world, 2343 02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:54,400 Speaker 1: and a seemingly unlimited demand for all this hardware. 2344 02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:56,760 Speaker 9: You know, so and you know you know how long 2345 02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:59,120 Speaker 9: it's going to take to train these pilots up. You 2346 02:06:59,120 --> 02:07:01,880 Speaker 9: remember when we all authorized the F sixteens, when Biden did, 2347 02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:04,120 Speaker 9: it was like somewhere around nine months or maybe even 2348 02:07:04,240 --> 02:07:06,680 Speaker 9: longer before they could get their pilots trained up on 2349 02:07:06,720 --> 02:07:08,960 Speaker 9: the F sixteen. Now you've got to start a whole 2350 02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:11,280 Speaker 9: new one. Unless something's been going on behind the scenes 2351 02:07:11,320 --> 02:07:14,280 Speaker 9: that we don't know about. You're talking about multiple months 2352 02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:16,920 Speaker 9: just to get them to get in the cockpit effectively 2353 02:07:16,960 --> 02:07:18,600 Speaker 9: and then operate the weapons systems there. 2354 02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,400 Speaker 10: So this is just ridiculous in. 2355 02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:23,880 Speaker 1: My view, cold harsh reality, as we always expect from 2356 02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:26,840 Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, retiling Colonel Daniel Davis. Find him where you 2357 02:07:26,880 --> 02:07:29,360 Speaker 1: find your podcast, look for the Daniel Davis Deep Dive 2358 02:07:29,880 --> 02:07:32,920 Speaker 1: Love the conversation.

I mean, you hit the nail on the head, Brian. 2482 02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:33,560 Speaker 13: I mean right now, the scariest thing for anyone purchasing 2483 02:13:33,560 --> 02:13:36,720 Speaker 13: their own health insurance is if you're on a marketplace plan, 2484 02:13:36,920 --> 02:13:39,360 Speaker 13: you have to be checking your premiums for twenty twenty six. 2485 02:13:39,800 --> 02:13:41,760 Speaker 13: You have to know that the fact that the tax 2486 02:13:41,840 --> 02:13:45,720 Speaker 13: credits for a lot of Americans is going are going away. 2487 02:13:46,360 --> 02:13:48,360 Speaker 13: You know, we've been helping a lot of of course 2488 02:13:48,360 --> 02:13:50,840 Speaker 13: your listeners that we we've marked with you guys for 2489 02:13:50,960 --> 02:13:53,360 Speaker 13: years now. But the biggest thing is we have people 2490 02:13:53,360 --> 02:13:56,400 Speaker 13: calling in Brian and we're talking about insurance premiums going 2491 02:13:56,440 --> 02:13:59,959 Speaker 13: from you know, six seven hundred bucks a month to 2492 02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:04,000 Speaker 13: two thousand and twenty four hundred. I mean, people are 2493 02:14:04,040 --> 02:14:08,320 Speaker 13: losing money right now, twenty twenty four hundred dollars monthly. 2494 02:14:08,480 --> 02:14:12,240 Speaker 1: And that is plus or plus the out of pocket 2495 02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:14,680 Speaker 1: of ten thousand and five hundred. 2496 02:14:14,480 --> 02:14:18,800 Speaker 13: Ten thousand, six hundred per person. You know, you know, 2497 02:14:18,960 --> 02:14:22,040 Speaker 13: twenty one thousand, two hundred for a family on a 2498 02:14:22,120 --> 02:14:24,520 Speaker 13: marketplace this year plus two thousand a month in premium 2499 02:14:24,560 --> 02:14:28,960 Speaker 13: plus two thousand that's not insurance. Now it's and again 2500 02:14:29,200 --> 02:14:32,120 Speaker 13: is this this doesn't affect everyone. I mean they're staying 2501 02:14:32,160 --> 02:14:35,160 Speaker 13: in Obamacare. They're affecting three to four million people this 2502 02:14:35,280 --> 02:14:37,720 Speaker 13: year that are losing tax credits. So we're seeing so 2503 02:14:37,800 --> 02:14:40,400 Speaker 13: many people that will start making a tough decision to 2504 02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:43,480 Speaker 13: go without insurance. But that's because they don't know about 2505 02:14:43,520 --> 02:14:44,720 Speaker 13: what you do. They don't know what we do a 2506 02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:45,240 Speaker 13: cover sinci. 2507 02:14:45,680 --> 02:14:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, I had a conversation with Brian James on Money, 2508 02:14:47,400 --> 02:14:49,280 Speaker 1: Money about you the other day. I said, listen, there's 2509 02:14:49,280 --> 02:14:51,240 Speaker 1: a whole world of private insurance out there. You don't 2510 02:14:51,240 --> 02:14:53,560 Speaker 1: need to go to Obamacare. You get John the team 2511 02:14:53,600 --> 02:14:55,280 Speaker 1: to analyze where you are and look at one of 2512 02:14:55,320 --> 02:14:57,400 Speaker 1: the different options out there, come up with something that's 2513 02:14:57,400 --> 02:15:01,160 Speaker 1: affordable for you but also actually provides you medical insurance 2514 02:15:01,200 --> 02:15:05,200 Speaker 1: coverage for your claims. Well, you didn't have a fituciary 2515 02:15:05,240 --> 02:15:09,000 Speaker 1: obligation like but he has effectually essentially a fiduciary obligation because, 2516 02:15:09,120 --> 02:15:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know your business model. You're trying to 2517 02:15:11,160 --> 02:15:13,240 Speaker 1: help people get the best possible product out there for 2518 02:15:13,280 --> 02:15:18,160 Speaker 1: the least amount of money. I mean, I don't anyway, 2519 02:15:18,280 --> 02:15:21,240 Speaker 1: the fact that the private market exists. Many people don't know. 2520 02:15:21,320 --> 02:15:23,920 Speaker 1: So someone's out there, you know, having to change their 2521 02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:25,800 Speaker 1: underwear because they just found out they got a two 2522 02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:30,920 Speaker 1: thousand dollars insurance payment. There's a world of insurance opportunities 2523 02:15:30,960 --> 02:15:32,920 Speaker 1: beyond Obamacare. Oh absolutely. 2524 02:15:33,040 --> 02:15:35,720 Speaker 13: I mean, they're driving this home to us, right, They're 2525 02:15:35,800 --> 02:15:39,280 Speaker 13: shoving this product down our throat, and most Americans don't 2526 02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:41,880 Speaker 13: need to be there. Yeah, if your income's low enough, 2527 02:15:41,920 --> 02:15:44,240 Speaker 13: I mean, you can qualify for a tax credit, pick 2528 02:15:44,280 --> 02:15:46,880 Speaker 13: it up. But you know the restrictions on this, I 2529 02:15:46,920 --> 02:15:48,800 Speaker 13: mean the fact that if you're buying a plan here 2530 02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:52,480 Speaker 13: in Cincinnati, Brian, you can't even go to Dayton and 2531 02:15:52,480 --> 02:15:55,400 Speaker 13: get treatment the other component, right, you know, And is 2532 02:15:55,400 --> 02:15:58,320 Speaker 13: that worth the price that you're gonna pay for a 2533 02:15:58,400 --> 02:16:01,920 Speaker 13: luxury vehicle like Ibsolutely not, I mean, and then twenty 2534 02:16:01,960 --> 02:16:04,400 Speaker 13: thousand dollars to use it, So it doesn't it doesn't 2535 02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:04,880 Speaker 13: make sense. 2536 02:16:05,080 --> 02:16:08,880 Speaker 1: Tell of a luxury vehicle it is dollars. 2537 02:16:09,440 --> 02:16:12,280 Speaker 13: And then twenty thousand dollars to take it out, all right, 2538 02:16:12,360 --> 02:16:15,160 Speaker 13: So it doesn't make sense to so many listeners, and 2539 02:16:15,200 --> 02:16:18,120 Speaker 13: that's why they have to shop the private market. And 2540 02:16:18,160 --> 02:16:20,760 Speaker 13: that's a big proponent of what we do is help 2541 02:16:20,840 --> 02:16:23,480 Speaker 13: every single person, whatever their situation is. Hey, if it 2542 02:16:23,520 --> 02:16:25,120 Speaker 13: makes sense to stay on the marketplace, we're going to 2543 02:16:25,200 --> 02:16:27,160 Speaker 13: leave you there.
