1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Five O five, the fifty five k r C, the

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: talk stations. Happy Friday, even Opening Days, go Reds. There

3
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: you go, a little Opening Day SoundBite, There go Reds.

4
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: I hope you're able to go down Opening Day parade. Obviously,

5
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: just an amazing tradition here in the city of Cincinnati,

6
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: and such a great time. I would only suggest, and

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: I hate him tempering this whole, you know, glorious day

8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati, even for people who aren't

9
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: traditional baseball fans, just be vigilant, keep your eyes peeled

10
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: with you down there. It's a crowd of people, and

11
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: a very very packed crowd of people. So this is

12
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: not Brian Thomas being paranoid. This is you know, admonishments

13
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: from the yard lords and masters in government giving you

14
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: advice about, you know, crowds of people. Most notably since

15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: we're involved in a conflict, a war, some call it

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: with a sponsor of terrorism. So just throwing it out there,

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: you can keep your eyes peeled for suspicious activity. It

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: may take a little bit of wind out of the

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: sales of the great day you're supposed to be having.

20
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where we find ourselves, I suppose

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: in global conflicts that you can't let your guard down

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: completely and just have a really good time bubble burst

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: on that. So you can choose to and ignore the surroundings.

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: But most people experts in you know, the field of

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: terrorists and attacks on crowds, keep your eyes peeled. It's

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: just the right thing to do. Rad Thomas here glad

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: to be hope you're having a wonderful day. Feel free

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: to call me five on three seven four nine fifty

29
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk or found

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T funds coming up in

31
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the morning shows seven oh five. Fast forward a couple

32
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: of hours with Congressman or In Davidson. Will the government

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: ever be open again? It's a legitimate question for the congressman.

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: And remember why is it closed right now? You're standing

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: in the long line an airport some people four and

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: a half hours. Got some more details on that because

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: I am going to ask Congressman David's about the lines

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: at the airport. A sort of a problem exacerbated by

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: the fact that the government is shut down. Yeah, TSA

40
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: agents aren't getting paid, and that the Democrats are causing

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: pain and suffering on the American people. And particularly pain

42
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: and suffering on government employees working for the TSA, and

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: that the motive behind this is to protect illegal immigrants

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: subject to a detaining detention order here in the United

45
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: States under US law. They have isolated US law. They

46
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: are under US law eligible to be deported, and there's

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: been a determination on that that they should be deported.

48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: ICE just doing its job, and the Democrats don't like it,

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: and they're willing to cause you pain, a lot of

50
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: pain because apparently they're on life support. And I guess

51
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: need the illegal immigrant votes or something. It's just just

52
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: keep your eyes focused on the problem here and what

53
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: do they really want. It's the Republicans negotiating with the

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Democrats that we're getting the government open. Is like the

55
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump negotiating with the Iranians. It's a ever moving target.

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Hey we're making progress. No we're not. Hey we're making progress. No,

57
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: we've never talked to you. I mean this anyhow. Democrats

58
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: list to demands. Republicans can see to most of them.

59
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: They no problem, you know with body cameras, that's cool.

60
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Maybe we can work without judicial warrants, we can get

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Maybe we can work with judicial warrants. We can get

62
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: rid of the administrative warrant thing. How about working on that. No,

63
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: and we are our demands have changed. They don't want

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: the government to be open, They want this pain to

65
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: be felt. At least that's kind of direction. I'm concluding,

66
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk with Congressman davidsonbout Iran, more ground troops, and

67
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: again amid this swirling mass of confusion over where we

68
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: are relative to settling the Iranian war. I looking at

69
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: having Congressman David's a jime in on that. He's obviously

70
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: got more information than I do. Senator ran Paul, what

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: a great one to two punches. I'd like to refer

72
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: to the Massy Napolitano one two punch when they follow

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: each other. Congressman David's in followed by Senator Ran Paul.

74
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Also on Iran plus Senator Paul versus Mark Mullen in

75
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: the confirmation hearing, and Yes, bring back Senator Paul's penny plan.

76
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: He's got a way to solve the problem of our

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: national debt. It's a simple one. You know what, Maybe

78
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: the government should spend less. Let's just pairt back by

79
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: a fraction, just a little bit. Can we all live

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: without it?

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Yes?

82
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Of course we could. Senator Ran Paul seven thirty, followed

83
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: by Kurt Hartman YEP, one of our favorite lawyers here

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: in the fifty five KC Morning Show. Kurt Hartman final

85
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: lawsuit against the Forest Hill School District over redactions that

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: the district made responding to a public records request for

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: its Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Response Plan. Kurt Hartman on

88
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: behalf of his client, claiming the law the law, the

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: school has violated its legal duties refusing to produce public

90
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: records the public records document. The district said making the

91
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: reactions was within its legal right. Looking forward to having

92
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Kurt Hartman explain that and really probably explain to me

93
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: why a Forest Hill School district has an Immigration and

94
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement Response plan. Kurt in eight oh five fall

95
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: by Yes, iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff, which dovetails nicely

96
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: into the long lines at the airport conversation I'll be

97
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: having with Congressman Davidson Transportation Security Administration Acting Administrator Nahnwinn McNeil,

98
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: which is hilarious if you McNeil. That's an Irish name, Hanwinn,

99
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: not Irish. So anyway, she was warning lawmakers testified before

100
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: the House Homeland Security Committee, saying the TSA has been

101
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: operating state in the obvious without stable funding for about

102
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: half the fiscal year. This year, with more than sixty

103
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: one thousand employees, ninety five percent of the workforce is

104
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: working without pay. Why Well, they're critical critical infrastructure, so

105
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: they have to go to work. But do they know

106
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: they can quit or they can you know, claim that

107
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: they're sick. And that's what's going on obviously something Neil's

108
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: cautioning lawmakers during the questioning TSA is being forced to consolidate,

109
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: suggesting that regional airports may have to close, in spite

110
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: of the fact that ice agents were surged into the

111
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: airports to smooth out the delays there still yesterday suggesting

112
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: that well, airport closures. I'm looking forward to having Jay

113
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Rabble with chime in on that too. They've already accrued

114
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: one almost one billion dollars in unpaid payroll. She said.

115
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: We continue to screen millions of passengers a day, but

116
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: our workforce is under severe financial and emotional distress or stress.

117
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: Rather talking about officers sleeping in their cars, taking on

118
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: multiple jobs, knows all about that. One relying on public donations.

119
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Isn't that sad that a TSA worker has to go

120
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: out and seek a charitable contribution through a go fund

121
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: me paid just to get by because well, illegal immigrants

122
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: subject to detention orders are being protected by Democrats through

123
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: inaction on funding. TSA so far lost roughly four hundred

124
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: and sixty officers since February, and that's on the heels

125
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: of more than eleven hundred officers leaving last year during

126
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: the shutdown. Notice a trend there absenteeism up nationwide, call

127
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: out rates climbing from four percent to eleven percent and

128
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: exceeding forty percent at some airports. That's me calling in

129
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: as a TSA agent saying I can't show up to

130
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: work today, got to work that second job or whatever.

131
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Forty percent down in some airports. As passenger volumes going up,

132
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: which they say is about up from five percent over

133
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: last year, Spring breaks upon us and they say it's

134
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: going to get worse. Why, Well, apparently the FIFA World

135
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Cup in June is going to drive another surge and travel.

136
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: I found that a little hard to believe. But what

137
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: do I know about soccer? I know it's popular. Joe

138
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Strekker is a huge fan. McNeil s in hearing yesterday

139
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: said wait times have exceeded four and a half hours

140
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: at some airports, which causes the security a risk of

141
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: misflights as well as additional security coturns. Going back to

142
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: my comment about being ever vigilant, most people are. Many

143
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: people have observed, you know, experts and who are into

144
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: the whole concept of terrorism and bombing. Look, it's a

145
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: big pack room full of people. They're all standing around

146
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: waiting to get through the TSA line. This is before

147
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: you go through TSA checkpoint. So somebody in that room

148
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: might have a bomb. Huh. Conveniently packed in masses of

149
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: people at literally every airport across this kind yep, a

150
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: bit of a security risk, I would say so. And

151
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: another reality, newly hired officers aren't going to be ready

152
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: to time us in time to assist during the FIFA event,

153
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: most notably the next surge they expect, because it takes

154
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: several months for new TSA agents to be properly trained.

155
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: This is like trying to rebuild law enforcement after condemning

156
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: and condemning law enforcement as an inherently racist, terrible group

157
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: of people across the board. Yeah, when public will goes

158
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: against the police department. Police don't aren't supported by the community.

159
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: They quit. Oh look hmm, so massive number of problems

160
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: and again go back to the cause, the root of

161
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: all of this. You see where the priorities are five

162
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: fifteen to fifty five car see the talk station. Feel

163
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: free to give me a call, plan to talk about

164
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: in this hour and the next hour. And I love

165
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the facilitation of the conversation when you call in five

Speaker 1: fifty five kr seed dot com, Tom Haggard or I

173
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: hope the power you summoner last night was great socialist

174
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: efforts to change America, largely driven by our education system

175
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: which is basically nothing more than an indoctrination camp for

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: our little socialist here AFP Americans for Prosperity on the

177

Speaker 1: affordability of Jenet. It's all there at fifty five kre

178
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: seed dot com. Speak more about immigration immigration divide, That

179
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: isn't Barton swam commenting on the whole situation politically, and

180
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats are on the wrong side. Remember the shutdown

181
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: his consequence of their feelings about illegal immigrants, And he

182
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: reminded folks a signal moment. Back in June twenty seven

183
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen, remember the Democratic presidential debate. Ten candidates.

184
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: They were all asked if their healthcare plans would provide

185
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: coverage four quote undocumented immigrants. Close quotes. Some say illegal immigrants,

186
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: but that's not politically correct anyway, those who are not

187
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: entitled to be here under the law. Ten candidates asked,

188
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: all of them across the left winging ideological spectrum. All

189
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: of them raised their hand. He says there was a

190
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: time when liberals and leftist would object to unfettered immigration

191
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: because it infringed on their ability to expand the welfare state.

192
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: That time seems to have gone, and he reminds the

193
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: world seven years later, every Democrat in the country not

194
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: named Biden knows. Kamala Harris lost twenty twenty four election

195
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: because her party refused for three years to do anything

196
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: about the southern border. Remember she was borders are had

197
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: that workout for you. You're right, it's when electing. New

198
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: York Times report, New York Times making exactly that assertion

199
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: ran into summer. The newsworthy part was that it was running

200
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: at times. Democrats know they blew it by grobbling before

201
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: the progressive left, immigrant right crowd. It's conceivable that they

202
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: may avoid that mistake for a few election cycles. And

203
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: he refers to a liberal outlet called The search Light

204
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Institute earlier this week published a report on the electoral

205
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: advantages to be had by Democrats if they can move

206
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: to the center on immigration. Now a point, you got

207
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: to ignore what they said about Trump and all of that.

208
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: But he's the Searchlight report says, offers nothing but common sense.

209
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: It's polling indicates that Republicans, Democrats, and independence support robust

210
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: border enforcement and value legal immigration, even as they worry

211
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: that too much of it, too fast, does damage to

212
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: America's society. They're learning that in Europe very quickly. Too.

213
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Majorities believe that asylum seekers should apply for entry outside

214
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the US, and the illegal aliens who've worked, worked and

215
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: committed no crimes offer over the course of many years,

216
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: those who have been here for a long time, like

217
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: the dreamers, merit some path to citizenship that's got to

218
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: be hammered out, that's going to require new legislation. So

219
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: while many may be desirous that all this person's been

220
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: here and has been demonstrably beneficial to the American economy,

221
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and it's done work and make the arguments, I get

222
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: it that Searchlight reporting points out of ISAs Democrats to

223
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: acknowledge that the parties know nothing recklessness of twenty twenty

224
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: one to twenty three, the wide open borders was a debacle,

225
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: and that fair to force borders encourages human smuggling and

226
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: other perils. Expect smart Democrats to calibrate accordingly. See that's

227
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: kind of advice, and that a sane person would take.

228
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: You know what, maybe I'm with the too far left

229
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: Democrat crew. Maybe I should, you know, realign my position

230
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: to appeal more to some of the centrists, the independence

231
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: and maybe even peel off a couple of Republicans because

232
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm at least saying on border security and immigration generally speaking,

233
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: may recalibrate point every time some young innocent dies by

234
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: the gun or knife of an illegal immigrant, as happened

235
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: last week in Chicago, eighteen year old loyalist student Sheridan

236
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Gorman watch elected Democrats mosey further away from their former radicalism.

237
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: If they do, then maybe the government might open back up.

238
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: That's a simple move over to the center a little bit.

239
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: Say hey, I'm okay about this, and pay the ICE agents.

240
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: Although I have to ignowl or pay TSA agents, I

241
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: should say I have to acknowledge the ICE and the

242
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: Democrats know this. It's one of the reasons that the

243
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Republicans have been able to hold out. ICE is being

244
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: paid because the one big beautiful bill or the great

245
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill funded ICE for like three years. To

246
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: talk to GOP voters, you may hear notes of moderation

247
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: that weren't detectable a decade ago. And the question of

248
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: border enforcement, Republicans are where they've always been, zero tolerance.

249
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: What about the twelve to fourteen million, mostly Latin Americans

250
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: migrants already here. The past decade has made a few

251
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: things play to write leaning Americans, among them that the

252
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: migrant workers, whose presence in the country they once regretted,

253
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: tend toward religious observance and family cohesion. Also, they know

254
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: how to work, don't underestimate. That point correlate to the

255
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: GOP's partial transformation over the past decade into a working

256
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: class party, is that ordinary Republicans voters identify more readily

257
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: than they once did with a class of people known

258
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: for sedulus's manual labor, illegal migrants. Whatever Trump and Steven

259
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: Miller might say, don't vote and don't rely on welfare

260
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: to any significant degree. But if they did vote, they

261
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily plump for Democrats and their offers of free stuff.

262
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: Ten or fifteen years ago, right wing radio host told

263
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: their audiences daily that Democrats wanted to addict illegal aliens

264
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: to welfare and put them permanently on the D column.

265
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Things haven't worked out that way. The Hispanic voters have

266
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: moved markedly toward the GOP in twenty twenty four. It

267
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: reflects that point. None of this makes the federal government's

268
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: failure to police the border any less of an outrage.

269
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: No solution to the problem is free of pain, but

270
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: it is no longer true if it ever was, that

271
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: one party's voters want everything the others don't. That Trump

272
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: had strong support on immigration, then lost a hefty measure

273
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: of it as enforcement efforts became chaotic, tells us that

274
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: most Americans find themselves somewhere in the middle waiting for

275
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: their politicians to come up with some mess come up

276
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: with some messy compromise. A compromise, at least as far

277
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: as funding goes, does not have to be messy. Donald

278
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: Trump's already moderated on the enforcement efforts. I don't recall

279
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: reading of late any claims that you know, ICE agents

280
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: have been you know, breaking into homes and you know,

281
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: grabbing Americans and killing and raping and maiming and murdering,

282
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: and all the cries and wailing and ashing and gnashing

283
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: of teeth. It seems to be absent from the reporting lately. Oh,

284
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: maybe the war is a distraction, But no, I do

285
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: know that Trump has moderated some of the policies. Returning

286
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: to that moderate will all across the board eighty twenty

287
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: maybe even ninety ten issue that everybody, for the most

288
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: part in America wants to get rid of murderers and

289
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: rapists and evil people. Right, that's a no brainer. Five

Speaker 1: fifty five K see the talk stations the Ground've got

Speaker 1: sure we'll hear from Mike on that and get people

305
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: rallying around the USS Cincinnati. It's a really cool exhibit.

306
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: You can see it from the road up there. Let's

307
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: go to the phone. See what Tom's got today. Tom,

308
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Very happy Friday eve to you.

309
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning.

310
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 4: Just I haven't done a traffic or driving PSA in

311
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: a while. On the thrilling out this morning, there's these uh,

312
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: there's these things that I think most every card comes

313
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: equipped with don't know people, Uh yeah, those, But the

314
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: thing I was referring to is they're called mirrors.

315
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

316
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 4: They usually have one one on each side and one

317
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 4: in the middle. That's that. That's that kind of rectangular

318
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: thing that's stuck to your front windshield.

319
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: Yeah.

320
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: And the reason of what one good one good use

321
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 4: of those is to see people coming up from behind you.

322
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 4: That is, you could you can actually see what's going

323
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: on behind you if you look at them and pay attention.

324
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 4: If if if you're not just you know, motoring along

325
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 4: and all you care about is yourself, then you know

326
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: you can notice somebody you know quickly approaching you from

327
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 4: you know, from behind you, so you can maybe get

328
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: out of.

329
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: The way or maybe or.

330
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 4: Maybe you can speed up a little bit and make

331
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: the gap so the person can get around you. I

332
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: don't I don't care. I don't mind changing lanes to

333
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: get around people. I just I just don't think people

334
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: realize what those little shiny things are that that are

335
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: in front of them.

336
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 5: So I just lead.

337
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Is there is there a broader point to be made

338
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: use your rear view ear?

339
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, please please pay attention to what's going on

340
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 4: around you. So and that's a good overall theme to

341
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 4: pay attention so and that that we can go over

342
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: into politics with that. We do we but a lot

343
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: of people were just just lazy. We don't. We don't.

344
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 4: We got we got other things.

345
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 5: To pay attention to.

346
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 4: And when I say lazy, I don't necessarily mean all

347
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 4: across the board you're lazy. You decide there's certain areas

348
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: you're not going to bother with because you're paying attention

349
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: to something else. And but when you have something like

350
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: like elected officials that directly affect your life, you know,

351
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: there's the If you want to avoid sports, there are

352
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: people who don't care about Opening Day, sure, and if

353
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 4: you don't pay attention to the reds or whatever, it's

354
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: not going to hurt you, gonna you know whatever. But politics,

355
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 4: you got to have something some attention paid.

356
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: To that you need.

357
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 4: Everybody who is old enough you get I think you

358
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: get to the point of fifteen sixteen, you need to

359
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: start paying attention to it to some extent, maybe not

360
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 4: like you do you call it weed dwellers, maybe not

361
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 4: that much, but you got to start thinking about what

362
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 4: what what are these people doing that are affecting my life?

363
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: They directly affect what happens to you, how much money

364
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: comes out of your paycheck, rules and regulations that you

365
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: are supposed to follow, things like that. You know, I

366
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 4: think it's and of course, you know, schools aren't really

367
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: teaching our kids to do that unless they want to

368
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 4: take them out and protest something. You know that that

369
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 4: that they'll that they'll push, that kind of civic stuff

370
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 4: they'll push. But actually teaching children in schools, which which

371
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: your guy last night in is empower you. Seminar was

372
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: talking about how the education system is is being geared

373
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 4: toward getting people away from capitalism and the way the

374
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 4: West was built. But you know, you have to pay attention.

375
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: Parents have to teach their kids some things, and I

376
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 4: know they get bored. Oh dad, mom, I don't want

377
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: to hear about it.

378
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 6: Well you need to hear about it.

379
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 4: You need to pay attention to it. And don't let

380
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: your kids break you down, you know, talk to them,

381
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: you know, send them down, say this is important stuff.

382
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 5: See this.

383
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: You know this money you want me to give you

384
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 4: every every day, every week, whatever you want me to

385
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 4: help you buy this? This is why I can or

386
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 4: can't do it because of how much money I make

387
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: and how much money they're taking. We got we gotta

388
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: pay some attention to this. We got to put some

389
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 4: effort into it, and we got to teach our kids

390
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: don't vote Democrat.

391
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: Have a great day, bro, you too, Tom, That's kind

392
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: of you. To my point, the fools one's not looking

393
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: out for his or her and the best interest. Yeah,

394
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: and not looking at politics is foolish because they do.

395
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Politicians so profoundly impact our day to day lives and

396
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: in many ways we don't even recognize. That's where the

397
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: weed dwelling comes in. There's a long road you got

398
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: to get to from what they do to how it

399
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: impacts your life. And sometimes it's a little difficult to follow,

400
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: but it's worth following it to appreciate the realities. You know,

401
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: every little it counts. What they do can really mean

402
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: a lot to your world. Real quick. Here if a

403
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: positive development out of Columbus, which rarely happens, the Larry

404
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: Henderson Act past the Ohio House a representative yesterday. You

405
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: may remember the Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson was intentionally

406
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: killed while directing traffic at U. See, well, some good

407
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: can come out of it. Increase penalties for anybody convicted

408
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: of killing a first responder. According to introduced by Representative

409
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: Cindy Abrams and Phil Plummer, both Republicans, the Larry Henderson

410
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Act increases penalties for aggravated murder in the state when

411
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: a victim is a peace officer, prosecutor, first responder, or

412
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: military member. Legislation specifically mandates the death penalty or life

413
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: imprisonment without the possibility of parole for adult defender's convicted

414
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: of killing someone in one of those protected roles. There

415
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: you go. At least someone's doing something about it.

416
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 7: Now.

417
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: Will that act as a deterrence that will remain to

418
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: be seen? But get the word out there. Maybe if

419
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: you know ahead of time and you're inclined to murder

420
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: a first responder, you might want to take that into account.

421
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Five thirty five fifty five kr CD talk station stack

Speaker 1: but Eventually, Kalaso said this situation went too far. One day,

467
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: Clausa said her son got fed up with the fact

468
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: that she doesn't leave him alone, and he rejected the

469
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: girl with a rude comment that's eleven years old. That

470
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: never happens, does it. Then the girl's mom step in,

471
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Shannon Marie Tofuga, accused the kidnapping the boy to force

472
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: him to apologize to her daughter. Flasa said grabbed him

473
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: by the arm and said he was going with her

474
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: to apologize to her daughter. She put him in her

475
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: vehicle and took him to her home and sat him

476
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: on her couch. Clausa said her son was threatened and

477
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: forced to apologize to the girl before Tofuga released him.

478
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: She said they basically opened the door, told him to

479
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: get the F word out, and he ran all the

480
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: way home. This resulted in recently filed child abuse and

481
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: kidnapping charges for Tafuga, pushed for ballard with the US or.

482
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: The Utah County Attorney's office said, even if your child

483
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: is being bullied, the law does not give you permission

484
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: to kidnap the child. Stay I'll use to Foo's attorney

485
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: released the statement, saying a part that they respectfully deny

486
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: the allegation of driving. The filing as a symptom of

487
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: our own society's failings, where children were once held accountable

488
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: by their own parents. Eh faga a closa not not

489
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: buying that. So the situation could have been handled differently.

490
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: Of course, had she come knock on my door like

491
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: an adult and said, hey, our kids are having issues,

492
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: can we speak, I would have gladly let her in

493
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: and we could have handled the situation. But not once

494
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: did she ever try. I never met this woman.

495
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

496
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: A man exclamation point in all cabs in bold and

00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 8: To you, sir, Hey, Good morning from Rhode Island. Brian,

Speaker 8: you're coming in loud and player on you iHeartMedia app.

Speaker 1: We're global this morning. Day, We're global this morning from

520
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: Paris you are to Cleveland to Rhode Islands. What's on

521
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: your mind?

522
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 8: To Dave Jake, Hey, When I was in Corporate America

523
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 8: years ago, I had many jobs where I was responsible

524
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 8: for productivity and cost out and weekly I was in

525
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 8: front of CEOs and their staff talking about how are

526
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 8: we doing planned versus actual? On multimillion dollar waste elimination

527
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 8: initiatives that went on for years yep. And so we

528
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 8: were accountable every week to stand and deliver. We were

529
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 8: either making it or we weren't. The silence from jd

530
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 8: Vance he's been in the job to take waste out

531
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 8: of the federal government. I think he's been in the

532
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 8: job for two weeks, which some people may say, well,

533
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 8: come on, man, give him a chance. Rome is burning,

534
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 8: and there was a one point seven trillion dollar discretionary

535
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 8: funding and the federal budget. Let's just start there. But

536
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 8: if Jay was in JD Vance's shoes, if I was

537
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 8: given the blessing the honor of cutting waste down of

538
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 8: the federal government, there would be a daily press conference

539
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 8: and I would be putting up numbers that would blow

540
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 8: people's hair back, probably starting with taking a page from

541
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 8: doctor Fauci, which is every government employee that's non essential,

542
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 8: you don't show up for work anymore because we have

543
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 8: a war to pay for.

544
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 9: And he literally would.

545
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: He literally had an announcement yesterday about using artificial intelligence

546
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: to address fraud. It's in the in medical center, in

547
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, so that was literally,

548
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: they know.

549
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 10: Where the fraud is.

550
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 11: They know where the fraud is.

551
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 8: Now the report that the American for Prosperity had a

552
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 8: Foyer request for UH, they released the report to them

553
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 8: that said where the fraud was, that showed Ohio was

554
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 8: in worst case. So we don't have to wait for

555
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 8: artificial intelligence. The data exists right now. For JD to

556
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 8: do something to hide behind artificial intelligence is disappointing.

557
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I know you're you're very quick to criticize, and that's fine.

558
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: There's certainly lots of criticism to be levied on all

559
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: aspects of government. But the man's been on the job

560
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: for two weeks, and you know, sometimes it's like the

561
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: wheels of justice. It spins slowly, but at least it's

562
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: spinning in the right direction. With JD. Vans behind the effort.

563
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: In this time, hopefully Vansaity administration is uncovered fraud among

564
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: a manay the nineteen billion dollars at least since the administration

565
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: has been investigating a Minnesota alone. So yeah, there's a

566
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: lot of fraud out there. We know where a lot

567
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: of it is, and here it is just an announcement yesterday.

568
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll pray that he makes more regular announcements

569
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: and identifies more fraud. Again, I think I like JD.

570
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Vance in the role more than say, anybody in a

571
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Biden administration or a potential Kamala Harris association.

572
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 8: Hey, I'm good with that, but TikTok, we're burning a

573
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 8: billion dollars a day over and Iran. We can't just

574
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 8: identify it. It has to be eliminated. Putting it up

575
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 8: on a scoreboard and doing nothing about it yield.

576
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: You're going to get no argument for me on the

577
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: idea that eliminating fraud wasting of view should be priority

578
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: won for government. That's period of the story, and hopefully

579
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: it'll work. Wait for it. I don't expect immediate action

580
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: from anybody in government, as much as I would like

581
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: it to happen instantaneously. We live in an instant gratification world.

582
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes that are in lies the problem. We expect things

583
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: to happen immediately when it's virtually impossible, giving them problems,

584
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: the hurdles and the impediments and government to make it

585
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: happen immediately, and then when it does happen, the inevitable

586
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: litigation to stop it from happening. So you know this

587
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: is where we find ourselves. Five thirty five, fifty three

588
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: or fifty five cares to the talxtation. Pat's next, Pat,

589
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning show and a happy Friday Eve

590
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: to you.

591
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 12: Same to you, Brian with TSA and it's the Coastguard FEMA.

592
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 12: I think secret service. None of them are getting paid.

593
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 12: And all this comes down because the Democrats don't want

594
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 12: while they want illegals to vod and I think that

595
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 12: they should not be getting paid themselves.

596
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: Well we all agree on that one and Pat and

597
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: they have voted on it the other day but it

598
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: didn't go anywhere, so yeah, don't It's the audacity that

599
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: they are getting paid themselves and refusing to pay the

600
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: people who are actually out there working is amazing. And

601
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: the predicate behind it, as you point out, is to

602
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: protect people who are not in this country lawfully and

603
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: who is subject to a detainer order. Look, that's just it.

604
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: This is it. This is where the Democrats are. So

605
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: do you like that? Vote for him? You don't like it,

606
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: you think it's crazy, then don't vote back in office

607
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: and don't make November this sort of historic reality that,

608
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, the party in power is going to

609
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: be out of power. Why does that have to be?

610
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: It is not a foregone conclusions or conclusion rather, and

611
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't always happen. So what's more important the American

612
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: people or every other human being on the planet. Democrats

613
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: have raised their hand and already told you which side

614
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,080

00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: happy Friday Eve and happy Opening Day. I hope you

621
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: win the Reds winning and I hope everything is safe

622
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: for the opening day festivities. A couple of thirty five

623
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: to fifty five Carse Morning Shows seven to five with

624
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren davids In one hour from now, government ever

625
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: be opened again? Will it? Long lines to the airport's

626
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: course is consequence of the government shut down in Iran

627
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: and on the heels of Pats call the last dar

628
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: I want to address that here in a moment, Senator

629
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Ran Paul on Iran, his issues with Senator Mark Mullen,

630
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: and well the Senator Paul Penny plan, which is an

631
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: awesome idea. More people should get behind it. We'll talk

632
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: to Senator Paul about that. Seven thirty. Kurt Hartman are

633
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: one of our favorite lawyers. Caught myself there and want

634
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: to I did. I don't want to stole label on

635
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: him because we do have others like Steve Gooden who

636
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: joined the program. But anyway, Kurt's got a lawsuit against

637
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: the Forest Hill School District for refusing to produce its

638
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: ICE Action Plan, Immigrting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Plan. They

639
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: redacted a vast majority or a substantial amount of the

640
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: documents he had requested pursuing to a record's request. We'll

641
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: find out why they have a plan in the first

642
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: place and the status of the lawsuit. Jay Ratliffe I

643
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: heard media aviation expert every Thursday eight thirty looking forward

644
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: to that. He blowed aviation topics, including the wealthy announcement

645
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: yesterday from the TSAC chief that look, if you don't

646
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: get the government back up, and we may very well

647
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: still have to close some airports lines as long as

648
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: four and a half hours and of course ICE agent

649
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: surge has helped to some or ICE agent surge there

650
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: has helped to some degree, obviously has not solved the problem.

651
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: And remember the vinear behind all the government closure is

652
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats well desired to keep illegal immigrants in our

653
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: country in spite of them being subject to detainer's orders

654
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: and detainer orders, in spite of the fact that most

655
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: of their constituents want the worst to the worst out

656
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: of our country. Going back to the comment I made

657
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: earlier in the program, and before I get to Bobby, Bobby,

658
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: bear with me on this one, because it was Pat's

659
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: call that made me want to get this Carl Rove

660
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: comments and observations about the upcoming November election. Of course,

661
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: remember you party in power usually loses in November election.

662
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: Does it have to be that way? Well, if you

663
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: don't like the government being shut down, you think that

664
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: that the Democrats are really being very unfair, not just

665
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: the American people generally speaking, notably the traveling American people,

666
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: but to the ICE agents specifically. They're not getting paid

667
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: that and not all of them are engaged in enforcement

668
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: actions against illegal immigrants. Anyway, Rowe points out the outcome

669
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: of the midterms largely depends on the popularity of the

670
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: present of President Trump, his job of approval, and the

671
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics average not good. Only forty one point

672
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: three percent fifty six point three disapproved President's approval number

673
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: this low n't really precede as significant loss of the House,

674
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: but Trump's popularity isn't the only consequential number. Get a

675
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: load of this. This speaks volumes. I think the Real

676
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: Clear Politics average has the Democrat Party at thirty five

677
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: point eight favorable fifty five to seven unfavorable. The Republican

678
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: Party is doing better thirty nine three two fifty three

679
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: nine favorable unfavorable. How about that, we asked rhetorically, Carl does,

680
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: how did how did the Democrats become less popular than

681
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: mister Trump? It took many years, much hard work, wacky

682
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: political stanzas, and plenty of missteps. Even the RCP generic

683
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: House ballot is a problem for Democratic Party, and he

684
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: points out the you know, the the solid dams, the

685
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: the the the flux seats ones that are up for grabs.

686
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: This prognosticator suggests there are seventeen districts that are toss up,

687
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: thirteen held by Republicans, four by Dems. On top of

688
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: those thirteen seats held by Dems, two by Republicans that

689
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: lean blew, there's one Democrat and three Republican seats that

690
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 1: lean read. Okay, there's all your geography and the math

691
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: on this. Not a lot of targets overall for Democrats.

692
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: If they swept all thirty nine at risk seats, that

693
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: will translate to a gain of twenty one, about half

694
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: of the forty one seat boosts they saw in twenty eighteen.

695
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: So bad doesn't necessarily have to be as bad as

696
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: before given the math on this one, He points out

697
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: Congressional Democrats aren't doing much to advance their cause. Their

698
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote affordability agenda is an amorphous afterthought. Many Democratic

699
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 1: candidates act as if trashing Trump is all they need

700
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: to do. That's status quote for the Democrats now for

701
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: how many years? The public also increasingly blames Democrats for

702
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: the federal government shutdown. This is my point to pat

703
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: air travelers standing in line for hours to get through

704
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: security wish a pox on all politicians, but the Democratic

705
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: insistence that no funding for immigration and customs enforcement is

706
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: playing to the base. It led a senior House Democrat

707
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: Virginia's Don Bayer to concede. The tactic isn't forcing any

708
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: changes en quote. In the meantime, we're making people hurt

709
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: close quote not supposed to say that part out loud. Don.

710
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: Democrats missed an offer MP during Mark Wayne Mullen's confirmation

711
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: hearing for Homeland Security Secretary. Democrats could have pressed him

712
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: to negotiate in good faith on specific changes they wanted.

713
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: This would have given Americans a better idea of the Democrats' demands,

714
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: the reason they have to wait in those interminable tsa lines.

715
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: If mister Mulden refused to negotiate, Democrats could have voted

716
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: against him and had a better argument to make to voters.

717
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: If he did negotiate, they might have gotten much of

718
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: what they wanted. Instead, they look in transient to make

719
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: things worse. Leading Democrats keep saying foolish things like in

720
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: public governor the Avenue, some claim California. This is hilarious.

721
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: California is a lower tax state than Texas or Florida. Yeah,

722
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: tell that to all the tax refugees leaving the Golden State.

723
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hoak will run in twenty twenty two for it.

724
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: Told New York Republicans to just jump on a bus

725
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: and head down to Florida where you belong. Okay, get

726
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 1: out of town. That's an actual quote. Last week, though,

727
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: she said she's looking for people with a high net

728
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: worth to quote support the generous social programs. Close quote

729
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: of New York. She said, maybe the first step should

730
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: be to go down to Palm Beach and see who

731
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: you could bring back home. Miss Locle may have discovered

732
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: it was a mistake to raise taxes, but her answer

733
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: isn't to cut them a restrainings, a cut in restrain spending.

734
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: It's to fined what she calls patriotic millionaires who are

735
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: willing to move back north. Good luck with that. Even

736
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: with all that going on against Democrats, Republicans have to

737
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: up their and soon. The off year and special elections

738
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: have been awful for the GOP doesn't have to be, though.

739
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: The White House is counting on a successful end of

740
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: the Iranian conflict in a booming economy with dropping inflation

741
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. That's a big ask, isn't it.

742
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: If these don't materialize, and the latter Rove observes is unlikely.

743
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: In other words, dropping inflation, the GOB will be left

744
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: to hope. Democrats keep providing vivid contrast points that drive

745
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: swing voters right ward. Democrats are doing their part to

746
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: advance the GOP cause it's time for Republicans to do theirs,

747
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: and that's where everyone comes in. We learn from this

748
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: from Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity. You need to

749
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: keep pointing this out. That's the door knocking campaign they

750
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: go into. You knock on somebody's door. It's that chain

751
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: of what government does and how it impacts you. Are

752
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: you aware of why the government shut down? Let's walk

753
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: through the reasons why. When you explain that to voters

754
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: who might not be paying attention to the secuitest path

755
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: of their pain leading back to government actions most notally

756
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Democrats, you might not have

757
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: them motivated to go out and vote in November. Screw

758
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: all of them. What's the point no convince people going

759
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: door to door With AFP's assessance, they make it very easy,

760
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: going door to door and reminding folks why it is.

761
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: Whatever pain they're experiencing can go back to the Democrats

762
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: and why it is. The Republicans have some perhaps response

763
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: and plan to ease that pain and relieve us from

764
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: the pains that government has inflicted upon us. Bobby, thanks

765
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: for holding while I ranted a little bit, and thanks

766
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: again to Carl Road for providing some fodder for that.

767
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, Bobby. Happy Friday Eve and

768
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: happy Opening Day.

769
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 11: Well, happy Opening Day to you too, my friend. I'll

770
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 11: tell you what Saints Flag family, But the thing about

771
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 11: it is it is handicapped.

772
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: Thursday.

773
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,320

775
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,880

779
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 11: doing just wishing for the law enforcement to take care

780
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 11: of the problems that are coming out this weekend. And

781
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 11: we got it at four and a half with the

782
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 11: weather being nice, even though it's going to rain. We

783
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 11: still think the stabbings, the shootings and all the other

784
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 11: violence will be at four and a half.

785
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: Four point five, now the clock starts running in your prediction,

786
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: that's a Friday through Sunday. Clock right correct, Okay, so

Speaker 1: end up with half a shooting Bobby?

790
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 11: Well, we take the over and we've been.

791
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: Right about every time I know, Bobby. I'm just kidding

00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: You have a great one, Bobby, Pleasure hearing from you.

Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Eve got colors from all over this morning.

799
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: It's just putting a big smile on my face. From

800
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: Paris to Cleveland to Connecticut. We have a Punter Gorda, Florida,

801
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: and good morning to Steve in Punter Gorda listening and

802
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: real quick here before I get to Mississippi. James, Wow,

803
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: we are so nationwide today, worldwide. My wife responded, who

804
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: is a healthcare attorney and she has been so since

805
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 1: well basically she got out of law school. In essence,

806
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: talking about Jay's comment about Jadvan's not going fast enough

807
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: or quickly enough for him. In terms of dealing with fraud,

808
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: most nobly medical fraud. My wife point I listened. I

809
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: received daily feeds from the American Health Law Association that

810
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: discusses what CMS is doing to ferret out the fraud.

811
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: Here's your problem, Jay, the Blue states like California drag

812
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: their feet, and when the funds are held back, the

813
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: states sue to get their money. So there's your slow

814
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: wheels of justice to get to the end of that result.

815
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: Before you start getting getting the information so you can

816
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: find the fraud. The moratorium on new DMEs, gurbal medical

817
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: equipment outfits, and that's a lot of fraud there too,

818
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: does not help with current fraudulent entities. CMS contracts with

819
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: the state Department of Health who have limited staff to investigate.

820
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Going back to the problems maybe we have here in

821
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: Ohio not enough resources directed toward fraud, same old stuff,

822
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: different day. It takes time to investigate and shut down

823
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: the fraudulent entities. She says. You know my frustration with

824
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: a good corporate citizen complying with the regulations and how

825
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: the states just don't pay attention to the fraud. In

826
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: other words, I read from that Jdvans only can do

827
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: so much. The states must cooperate without the state's cooperation,

828
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: and quite often they're incentivized to not cooperate. See Minnesota,

829
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: which is set up to be I guess a soft

830
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: target for fraud so you can easily get away with it.

831
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to deal with the fraud,

832
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: wasted abuse very quickly. So thank you Paul for chiming

833
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: in on that, and I appreciate you listening and love you, honey.

834
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mississippi. James James, welcome back, my friend.

835
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you this morning.

836
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 5: Good morning, doctor Brian. I come in peace, love everybody.

837
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 5: There's nothing you can do about it.

838
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: Good attitude.

839
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 5: Hey you know that metaphor the Emperor has no clothes.

840
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: Yes, I do.

841
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 5: Hey, that's beginning to fit society as a whole. And

842
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 5: we're gonna need the kids that used to come in

843
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 5: and look at it and say, hey, it's just nicked.

844
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 5: It's nicked. Let's deal with what it is.

845
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah with us.

846
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 5: Adn't we done got indoctrinated, We done dug in, sized

847
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 5: up and everything is and yeah, have no clothes on?

848
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no I'm with you all day long day,

849
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: and let's just use the illustration Donald Trump. It's a

850
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: great example. You have folks on the right the they

851
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: call them maga, and I understand that Donald Trump can

852
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: literally do no rock. They're blind to some legitimate criticism

853
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: of the man. In the minute anybody raises any criticism,

854
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: you're already labeled some kind of commie socialist Kamala Harris

855
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: or Gavin Newsom want to be or something. I received

856
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: criticism along those lines all the time. I try to

857
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: be sort of Switzerland with my assessment of people and things. Generally, yes,

858
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: he does wonderful things, and I think we're moving in

859
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: the right direction yet, but there's a room for criticism.

860
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: Of course. On the other side, they got Trump Arrangement syndrome.

861
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: Anything Donald Trump does, it's immediately no. That's terrible. In

862
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,240
Speaker 1: spite of the fact they refuse to analyze what exactly

863
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: he wants to do. Any capitulation or agreement with Trump,

864
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: they are immediately ostracized by their own people. Right, maybe

865
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: the emperor doesn't have any clothes and it requires someone

866
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: objective to say whoa whoa, whoa whoa. You guys are

867
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: arguing amongst themselves over stupid points. What about this. Let's

868
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: look at this specific illustration and let's find fault with it.

869
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: Let's praise it, but at least let's break it down

870
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: logically and reasonably and not go apoplect that can start

871
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: pulling our hair out and balling up at a fetal

872
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: position because well, evil orange man or something. You're right, James,

Speaker 1: and you.

913
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old kid who suffered a fracture. This

914
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: from announcement from the Hamlin County Prosecutor's office. Police arrested

915
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,520

Speaker 1: thirteen year old after the child did not do household chores.

920
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: Napier then hit the child with a belt and a

921
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: curtain rod. Joe, I think we have an award to

927
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Triggs ruled Napier would be given an own recognizance bond,

928
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: in other words, not being held in jail at a monetary bond. However,

929
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: she is scheduled for arrangement in March twenty seven that

930
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: bond to change. What was that comment, Joe, who's the

931
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: award for the judge of the person? That's a legitimate question,

932
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: Connie Pilach, you haven't kind of prosecutor said, the allegations

933
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: in this case are deeply disturbing and reflect a level

934
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: of violence that no child should ever experienced. We will

935
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: pursue these charges aggressively and seek accountability. I commend the

936
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: neighbor who took action to protect the child. Napier for

937
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: her part, if convicted on all charges, could spend up

938
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: to fifteen years in prison. Jeez, about one hundred thousand

939
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: Fred's fans going to be going downtown on the banks

940
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: for the opening day festivities. Be ever vigilant. That's an

941
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: interjection for me. Not alexis smarting. Reporting from Fox nineteen

942
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: about security security which is reported will not be enforcing

943
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: the typical curfew age requirement. Courted Tracy Schwegman, Fans under

944
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: the age of twenty one will be allowed to hang

945
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 1: out in the plaza of the banks for opening day.

946
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: Banks Representative Shrugman says it's not realistic to impede the

947
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: flow pedestrian traffick and assess the area where tens of

948
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: thousands of people are going to be walking around. However,

949
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: the bars will continue, of course, enforcing ID checks. In April,

950
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: businesses at the banks took steps to implement an age

951
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: requirement during the evenings and weekends through the safety concerns

952
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: those times between ten pm and two am. That's the

953
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: demilitarized zone that they put around the door. I think

954
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: if people under the age of twenty one are going

955
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: to going to and from the Reds game after opening Day,

956
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: they're going to need to be a companied by someone

957
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: twenty one and over. Banks continued his policy in November

958
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: after the Board of Trustees of the bank's Community Authority

959
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: approved an allocation of fifty thousand dollars from their reserves.

960
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: In September, since a curfew does remain in place corning

961
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: to Mali Lair with the city. She says nine pm

962
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: curfew for unaccompanied minors in the special curfew district is

963
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: in effect. That sounds like contradictory information for me. Let's

964
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: go to the phone see what Stee's got. Steve, Welcome

965
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling in. Happy Friday

966
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: Eve to you.

967
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 13: You're one of your favorite days of the week, only

968
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 13: surpassed by the actual Friday.

969
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: I got that right, I got that right. See, my

970
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: mood just changes. It's almost as magic. It's like a

971
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: weight's lifted off my shoulders just with the mere mention

972
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: of the word Friday.

973
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 13: You know, and I know you're forced to be up

974
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 13: to date on the news and everything, and we all,

975
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 13: you know, we all have to watch what's going on

976
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 13: to be aware of it and everything. But just to

977
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 13: step back from that, what a wonderful time of year

978
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 13: this is. I mean, it's my favorite time is when

979
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 13: the grass is really turning green. It's got that really

980
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 13: alive look to it, the trees are coming back and everything.

981
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 13: And being the husband and not the wife, we've got

982
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 13: a couple of tropical plants that we bring from the

983
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:47,479
Speaker 13: deck into the house to survive the winter time. Yeah,

984
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 13: and any frost will kill them. I mean, you know,

985
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 13: I mean, I've heard you got what twenty nine degrees

986
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 13: you said Friday night or something. I've got to be

987
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 13: careful about that. But being the husband, I insisted on

988
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 13: bringing them all out onto the deck a couple of

989
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 13: weeks ago, and I've been bringing them back and forth.

990
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 13: So I should have listened to my wife. But you know,

991
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 13: you know how that goes. Oh, if I can mention

992
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 13: one other thing. I live in Independence and maybe about

993
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 13: five times we've had people knock on our door for

994
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 13: Thomas Massey and they're reps for him, and that's fine.

995
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 13: But I actually had the other day a candidate for

996
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 13: the Kentucky House of Representatives in this district himself come

997
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 13: to our door and knock on it. Wow, and man,

998
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 13: I really have And I told them this, I said,

999
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 13: I really have to, you know, applaud you for as

1000
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 13: the candidate doing this. It's not easy to walk up

1001
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 13: and down the street and knock on doors. And I

1002
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 13: just thought, you know, I mean that just really I

1003
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 13: don't know about you. That impresses me to no end.

1004
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 13: Occasionally we've had City of Independence soule people knock on

1005
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 13: the door, but usually it's a REP on their behalf

1006
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 13: helping them out. But just really, you know, I had

1007
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 13: a nice conversation with the guy. I really did and

1008
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 13: applauded him, and I'll look into it, and you know,

1009
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 13: he's probably the one I'm going to vote for because

1010
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 13: I'm not too happy with my rep that we've got

1011
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 13: right now here.

1012
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: You go in there for you got to vote by

1013
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: doing a door to door knock yourself there. Yeah, that

1014
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,439
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, that means a lot. And I would

1015
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: be impressed if the Democrat knocked on my door or

1016
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 1: a Republican.

1017
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 2: If it's that absolutely absolutely.

1018
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: There will I would take the question. So yeah, Jay

1019

Speaker 1: I'm glad you like it. Steve, I'm looking for it

00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: top of the hour news Congressman Warren Davidson Lloyd, Don't

1029
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: we have a lot to talk about with him, and

1030
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: of course Senator Ran Paul at seven thirty five one

1031
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: three seven nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two

1032
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: three talking promise, Mike, thanks for holding over the breake.

1033
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1034
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 10: Hey, Brian, uh, real quick about their Uh? I guess

1035
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 10: they called a curfew for the during the end of

1036
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 10: the banks, I get to be accompanied by an adult during Yeah,

1037
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 10: they're pouring after the games. So if there's over fifty

1038
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 10: thousand fans that gonna be down there for this, they're

1039
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 10: not going to do it.

1040
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: Right.

1041
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 10: So if the Reds start doing really good and we

1042
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 10: start selling that every game, there's gonna go this out

1043
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 10: the window.

1044
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: I suppose one could reach that conclusion because the same

1045
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: issue I suppose would show up. Although since there's no

1046
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: opening day parade for all the other games, there are

1047
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: obviously going to be a lot fewer people down there,

1048
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: but a capacity crowd at a great American ballpark, yeah,

1049
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: might give rise to the same thing I mean they're

1050
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: not doing.

1051
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,879
Speaker 10: They're han't really sold out a game, and how many

1052
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 10: step in the opening day right, secial?

1053
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: But maybe if a game is sold out, Yes, if

1054
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: the Reds do so well that they start selling out games.

1055
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: That's a big if, Mike, Well, we'll cross that bridge

1056
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: or they'll cross that bridge when we get to it,

1057
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: but it will be a comical thing to observe one

1058
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: way or another. Appreciate that speaking get a comical and

1059
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: last night's empower You sevenar from Tom hagget Or, who

1060
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: was on my show yesterday. You can listen to the

1061
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: podcast or go back to empower Youoamerica dot org and

1062
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: want and listen to what he had to say about

1063
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: the socialist efforts to change America, of course, predicated largely

1064
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: on their indoctrination of our young people in K through

1065
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: twelve education. Here's an illustration of this. So last Thursday,

1066
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old loyal at University student Chicago, Sheridan Gorman,

1067
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: shot and killed near the campus. It was confirmed on

1068
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: Sunday the mass gunman who killed Gorman twenty five year

1069
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: old illegal alien from Venezuela and entered the United States

1070
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: and the Biden administration. Of course, police took him into custody.

1071
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: Loyal A campus newspaper, The Phoenix provided coverage for this.

1072
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: Initially in the accurate reporting they first let a released

1073
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: headline imigrant man charged in murder of Sheridan Gorman DHS involved.

1074
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: The original posts also referred to him in the body

1075
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: of the article reporting on it as an illegal immigrant.

1076
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: Factually accurate, it was, but they got backlash, of course

1077
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: they did. Student newspaper then edited the post to remove

1078
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: the term illegal immigrant and then issued an apology which

1079
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: was longer than the original reporting article. Now they refer

1080
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: to him as a Rogers Park resident. That's a neighborhood

1081
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: in Chicago where the Loyal main campus is located. Roger

1082
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: Park resident. Oh, that guy had nothing to do with

1083
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: illegal immigant. He should have been here in the first place.

1084
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: So here's the editor's note, talk about an illustration of

1085
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: woke reality. On March twenty, third day post on The

1086
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: Phoenix's Instagram page carried the following headline immigrant man charged

1087
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: in murder of Sheridan Gorman DHS involved. The headline didn't

1088
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: reflect the most important elements in the story, and it

1089
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm

1090
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: to affected community members. I had a pause on that one.

1091
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: Can I ask in what way, shape, or First off,

1092
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: who in the hell is an affected community member? In

1093
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: what way, shape, or form is reporting accurately, so that

1094
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 1: he was in the country illegally. How does that impact anybody?

1095
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: They're not arrested. They didn't murder someone, you know, I

1096
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: mean if somebody, if some white guy out there guns

1097
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: down someone else, Am I part of the affected community

1098
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: because I also happen to be white. No, I'm not

1099
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: impacted in any way, shape or form. This is just nonsense,

1100
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: they went on. Additionally, in the body of the original posts,

1101
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: we described a man who was charged as an illegal

1102
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: immigrant using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security.

1103
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor

1104
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: does it align with the values of the newspaper. Since

1105
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: when does Associated press dictate what you report in any

1106
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: given newspaper? First me, I meant much and say whatever

1107
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: the hell you want. And since one is a newspaper,

1108
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: admit that it is not reporting all the facts or

1109
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: we know, maybe recharacterizing them. I think the American public

1110
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: clamors wants to know who's responsible for crime. Of course,

1111
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: it's big behind the reason for deportation. We have a

1112
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of illegal immigrants, not all of them, but a

1113
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: lot of them commit crime. That's kind of the demarcation

1114
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: point for folks. Everybody wants illegal immigrants out of our

1115
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: country who are committing or have committed crimes. That's a

1116
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 1: no brain winning political issue. Kick out the bad guys.

1117
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: And it's important to look at where you get your information.

1118
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: Six forty six. It was kind of a point Daniel

1119
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: Davis made last time we talked to him on the

1120
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: talk station six fifty coming up with a six fifty

1121
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: one fifty five Kerr CD talk station, got a couple

1122
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: of callers online, and to go there before we get

1123
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: to the top of our news and Congressman Warren David

1124
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: said at seven oh five start with has been on

1125
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the line longer, Todd, Welcome to the show. Thanks for

1126
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: calling today.

1127
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian.

1128
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 2: Real quick.

1129
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 6: On that Loyola story, I think it's there's a little

1130
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 6: bit of a bigger issue there. Since when does the

1131
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 6: college newspaper cow tow and walk in perfect lockstep with

1132
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 6: the university administration. I mean, it's not that long ago.

1133
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 6: Well it's been a while since I've been in college,

1134
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 6: but I remember, you know, back late seventies, early eighties,

1135
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 6: you know, the student newspaper was quite often at odds

1136
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 6: with the administration, right and if they would and if

1137
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 6: they would have said you need to change that headline

1138
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 6: like your dad used to say, I got two words

1139
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 6: for you, and they ain't happy birthdays.

1140
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: And they should have reported on that. You know, after

1141
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: getting receiving pressure from the university, we are standing and

1142
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: sticking with our guns because the reporting was accurate. We

1143
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: will not be told how to report by anyone. That's

1144
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the bright response. There you go, Todd.

1145
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 6: And if they were they objected to the term illegal alien,

1146
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 6: then you could say a criminal alien who is in

1147
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 6: the country illegally committed this crime, and then you don't

1148
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 6: need to put up with well, no person is illegal excuses.

1149
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: A person who is a resident of Venezuela came into

1150
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: our country in violation of America's border laws and stayed

1151
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: here without permission, killed somebody on a loyal of campus.

1152
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: There you go, appreciated Todd at observation. Yeah, you're right.

1153
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: Campus papers are supposed to go after the administration. I thought, Maureene,

1154
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. I thought you were on an airplane, Maureene,

1155
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: good to hear from you.

1156
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 14: No, I was on my way to the airport. I'm

1157
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 14: going to give you a full report. But yeah, all

1158
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 14: the TSA engines showed up. It's great. I got through

1159
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 14: the line in three minutes and there was only one

1160
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 14: ICE agent but the rest were regular TSA. So things

1161
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 14: are looking good. But I am four hours before in

1162
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 14: my flight, so that might have something.

1163
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: So you heeded the warning and got there four hours

1164
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: ahead of time, only to find out that there is

1165
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: no delay. That's okay. Better safe than sorry, Mary, Right, yeah.

1166
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly. So it looks good, but it could because

1167
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 14: it's really so don't don't wait till last minute if

1168
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 14: you're traveling today.

1169
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: I've been to that and I'm sure that I heart me.

1170
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: The aviation for j. RATLFF will double down on that

1171
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: recommendation when he saw at eight thirty morene no conspiracy

1172
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: theories or patterns observations this morning, Marine.

1173
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 3: Actually I do.

1174
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 14: Have one, and this one's before it actually happens. I

1175
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 14: think what's going to happen is we're going to see

1176
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 14: TSA and or not TSA, but ICE and National Guard

1177
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 14: at the polling stations in the midterms.

1178
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Well that's my prediction, all right.

1179
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 14: I think this is to normalize us to it, and

1180
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 14: it's okay, So whatever it takes.

1181
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Well, I just hope it's not the last step before

1182
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: martial law is declared or something along those lines. Mareene,

1183
01:03:55,640 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I know you do. Anyway,

1184
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: do you think the Iranians are calling Donald Trump's bluff?

1185
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: He's been putting more and more troops over in the

1186
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: in the region, thousands of additional soldiers. House speaker Carolyn

1187
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Levitt yesterday saying Iran shannams calculate again senior leadership, their navy,

1188
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: their air force, and their air defense system, pointing out

1189
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: that they well are not there anymore. If they fail

1190
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: to understand that they have been defeated militarily and will

1191
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: continue to be. She said, President Trump will ensure that

1192
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: they are hit harder than they have ever been hit before.

1193
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: President Trump does not bluff, and he's prepared to unleash hell. Well,

1194
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: I seems to me I have heard statements to that

1195
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: effect before, only for them to be, you know, to

1196
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: back off. American public is not in for a ground

1197
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: troop invasion of Iran, and the complications associated with that

1198
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: are profound. But since the Iranians obviously have intelligence and

1199
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: to some degree, you know, and they know how this

1200
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: war has complicated Donald Trump's efforts as he moves into November.

1201
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,439
Speaker 1: It's had an inflationary impact on all Americans. The price

1202
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: gasoline obviously has gone up substantially in a moment's time.

1203
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: That's going to have a profound ripple effect on food prices.

1204
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: So this whole affordability thing is going to be compounded

1205
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: as we move toward November. A resolution of the war

1206
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: would probably solve some of those problems for Donald Trump.

1207
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: So of course he wants a quick resolution in his favor.

1208
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: But if the Iranians realize this and know they've kind

1209
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: of got Donald Trump backed into the wall, and of

1210
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: course they're willing to sacrifice their own army and their

1211
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: own population, I can see him doing it just for

1212
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the sake of doing it. Six point fifty five. We'll

1213
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 1: see what Congressman Warren Davidson has on that theory, among

1214
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: other things. After the top of the air news fall

1215
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: by Seat seven oh five at fifty five Krosit Talk Station.

1216
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm very happy Friday, EPA, Happy Opening Day, Go Reds.

1217
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Be careful down there for the opening day parade in

1218
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: the game. Welcome back to the fifty five Cassee Morning Show,

1219
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson. Great to have you on on the

1220
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: program here this opening day. Congressman Davidson walk, I'm.

1221
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 5: Back, so he's an honor to join you.

1222
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Thanks, Brian, Appreciate everything you do, sir, Appreciate the time

1223
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: he said with my listeners and me. And can you

1224
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: answer the question the government is still shut down last

1225
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: time I checked, Congressman Davidson. Of course, my friend Maureen

1226
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: didn't have to deal with the line in Florida for

1227
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: her airplane, but that's not always the case. Some lines

1228
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: four and a half hours long. That's obviously a lot

1229
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: of pain, people missing flights. It's a security problem I've heard.

1230
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: And you might comment on that though, but I guess

1231
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: me first, just ask the question, do you even know

1232
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,479
Speaker 1: what it is that the Democrats want? Because last time

1233
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: I checked, ICE is fully funded for several years under

1234
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: the One Big Beautiful Bill, so they're going to continue

1235
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: to do their work. This is all about what practices

1236
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: on the ground dealing with the removal of illegal immigrants

1237
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: subject to a detention order.

1238
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 5: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean, lineamentally, they're trying to leverage

1239
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 5: funding for Homeland security. So obviously not the whole governor

1240
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 5: shut down, but everyone at Homeland Security is working without

1241
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 5: a pay check or they're not at work, and you know,

1242
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 5: obviously that has big implications for day to day things.

1243
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 5: But the thing that is easiest to see is the TSA.

1244
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I was I was down. I was asked

1245
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 5: to speak on a panel down it south by Southwest

1246
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 5: in Austin, Texas about two weeks ago, I guess, And yeah,

1247
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 5: we got there before six in the morning to leave

1248
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 5: for a flight, and the line was wrapped all through

1249
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 5: the building on the inside, out the door down the

1250
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 5: building on the outside. I mean, it was crazy. And

1251
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 5: this is this is one hundred percent fixable if they

1252
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 5: just say, okay, we want to fund ICE. We want

1253
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 5: to fund the all of homeland security. And then they

1254
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 5: even said, well we funded except without ICE, and so

1255
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 5: they said fine, and then they realized, oh wait, they'll

1256
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 5: still have all the ICE. They said, okay, we'll fund it.

1257
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 5: And even though we funded with no funding for ICE,

1258
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 5: we want conditions on the money going to ICE. And

1259
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 5: you're like, well, like, there's no money going to ice

1260
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 5: your plan, Well, okay, but you still have to do

1261
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 5: these things to ICE. So really what they want to

1262
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 5: do is say, as long as you stop deporting the

1263
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 5: millions of people that we brought into the country illegally,

1264
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 5: then we'll pay the people that our work today, which

1265
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 5: is just offensive. So there's a bunch of us that

1266
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 5: have tried to pass this shutdown Fairness Actor. On Ron

1267
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 5: Johnson Center from Wisconsin introduced it, and it's just common sense.

1268
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 5: It's like, if you're essential enough to be at work,

1269
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 5: the payroll clerk is essential enough to pay you this week.

1270
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 5: You know, in the private sector, if you had people

1271
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 5: showing up the work and you don't pay them, that's

1272
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 5: payroll theft. I mean, you can go to jail for that.

1273
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 5: So it is just wrong what they're doing by having

1274
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 5: everybody get at work, and they need to be at work.

1275
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 5: It is really important. But if the government should be funded,

1276
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 5: I mean, granted I would fund way less government. I'd

1277
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 5: be happy with the major cuts in a lot of areas,

1278
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 5: but not to securing our border and undoing this invasion.

1279
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 5: So that is the crux of what they're trying to

1280
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 5: preserve is the total ignoring of our law to flood

1281
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 5: the country with illegals.

1282
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned things they want, it's things they want

1283
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: from ice agents. Generally speaking, I suppose that they admitted

1284
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: and said the real part out loud to be we

1285
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: don't want anybody deported, period, end of the story. But

1286
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: no one's going to capitulate to that, and that's not

1287
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: a popular thing among their own constituents. So my understanding

1288
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 1: of the way this is unfolded the Trump administration and

1289
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: most people generally accept it. Fine, ICE wearing cameras, that's

1290
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: actually a good thing for the agents themselves. We'll do

1291
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: with that and other maybe conceding even on the judicial

1292
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: warr component. If you're going to kick in a somebody's

1293
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: front door at their home, I certainly can appreciate the

1294
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 1: argument that the Fourth Amendment still applies, But so okay,

1295
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: we'll get judicial warrns for those we need to go

1296
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: into homes to get. But we can still pick them

1297
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: up if they're on the street, hanging out, maybe going

1298
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: over to vote, or maybe even going into the airport

1299
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: to get a flight. All those are open game, and

1300
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and just get people that way. But

1301
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,759
Speaker 1: the Republicans at least have conceded some of the points

1302
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,799
Speaker 1: and are willing to make some changes to ICE's enforcement efforts.

1303
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: But what more do they want? What is the big

1304
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: hold out here?

1305
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 5: Well, I was talking with a few Senators last night.

1306
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 5: The Senator Rick Scott hosts a regular gathering of concertos

1307
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 5: in the House and Senate we're meeting last night, and

1308
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 5: I guess, you know, late in the day yesterday, Senator

1309
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 5: Schumer finally put his list of demands in writing. I

1310
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 5: don't think they've made that list public, but they at

1311
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 5: least have something on paper to negotiate over, you know,

1312
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 5: this time to see where it is. But you know,

1313
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 5: some of what you're talking about, Yeah, they've been very

1314
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,879
Speaker 5: public and saying we want no masks on ICE agents.

1315
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 5: And you know, the reality is is they've got a

1316
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 5: very organized effort, particularly in sanctuary cities where ICE would

1317
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 5: do the work to you know, so not just a

1318
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 5: place where we don't we're welcoming. They're not talking about that.

1319
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 5: They've they've actually said we're going to actively work to

1320
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 5: you know, keep you safe from federal and horsemen. It's

1321
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 5: open rebellion against the federal government in these cities because

1322
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 5: they're saying, no, we will decide who who determines the

1323
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 5: lawful presence of foreign nationals in our country.

1324
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: It's federal law, Congressman Davids, federal law. It has to

1325
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: be supremacy clause.

1326
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 5: Every city in the country deciding I know who's lawfully

1327
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 5: present or not, and that's it is open rebellion. I

1328
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 5: mean he cannot tolerate that and remain a sovereign country.

1329
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: No, you can't. I mean that it's a supremacy clause.

1330
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't. Well, you choose to ignore the Constitution. In

1331
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: the realities, it is going to be a tragic tragic things.

1332
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: But you know that the Trump administration sort of backed

1333
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: off on the real, solid, hard nose, let's kick everybody

1334
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: out approach they were taking. That led to all these protests. Honestly,

1335
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson and I may miss something because there's a

1336
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: lot of news in the world, but I haven't seen

1337
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: the sort of concerted out in the streets angry protesters

1338
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 1: going after ICE of late ever since the two Americans

1339
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: got who were in fact protesting and causing some disruptions there.

1340
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: And that will resolve itself down the road. I personally

1341
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: don't think that was appropriate action on part of ICE agents,

1342
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 1: but you know, the cooler heads will prevail and that'll

1343
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: be resolved presumably in litigation. But the tactics generally seem

1344
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: to have mellowed. I think the administration seems to have

1345
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: gotten the message that listen, America is a little uncomfortable

1346
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: with these very draconian tactics. Just go after the hardcore

1347
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: bad guys and we're all going to be happy. Am

1348
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: I right on that? Congressman?

1349
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think that's true, and that's not necessarily

1350
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 5: uniformly supported. I mean, the message is there's no sanctuary, right.

1351
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 5: It can't just be oh well. I mean when they

1352
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 5: say we're going after the criminal illegal aliens, the average

1353
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 5: person thinks, well, that would be all of them, because

1354
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 5: if you're an illegal alien, you're a criminal. You've broken

1355
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 5: the law to be in the country. And I will say, yes,

1356
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 5: the priority should be the people that you know didn't

1357
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 5: come here to work, right, So there should be ways

1358
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 5: to hunt those folks down and deport them. And you know,

1359
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 5: there's a saying in law enforcement ask tell make right.

1360
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 5: They've been asked to leave. They've even been incentivized to leave.

1361
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 5: There's like a twenty six hundred dollars payment plus your

1362
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 5: travel to leave. You know you're here illegally. You've been

1363
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 5: asked to leave, so please leave. You've been told to leave,

1364
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 5: and that was really the point of the election. The

1365
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 5: country told you, if you're here illegally, it's time for

1366
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 5: you to go, and Ice and everyone else has made

1367
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 5: it very clear you need to leave. And then periodically, yeah,

1368
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 5: you're going to find these people and you're going to

1369
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 5: make them leave. That is not a mean thing. You've

1370
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 5: asked them, you've told them, and now the only thing

1371
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 5: is to make them And the reality is you could

1372
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 5: have some rational dialogue about well, what are we going

1373
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 5: to do about the people that you know are here

1374
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 5: to be productive members of society. They're not, you know,

1375
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 5: committing welfare fraud, they're not flooding the country with just

1376
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 5: you know, an effort to undermine our culture. They want

1377
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 5: to come here for the opportunity. Great, you should have

1378
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 5: come legally. Let's figure out how we deal with that.

1379
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 5: But we're not talking about that. I mean, Democrats don't

1380
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 5: want to talk about anything except blanket amnesty. There are

1381
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 5: no illegal people, and they want to perfect the system.

1382
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 5: And here's the next thing, you know, they don't want

1383
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 5: to They say, oh, well it's already illegal for non

1384
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 5: citizens to vote, so it doesn't happen. Well, I don't

1385
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 5: know how many things are illegal that do happen, right,

1386
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 5: And the way that you find out is there's a

1387
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 5: detection method. So you don't have a detection method right now,

1388
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,719
Speaker 5: so they say, oh, it doesn't occur, No, it doesn't

1389
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 5: get detected. And so you know, they've subpoenaed all of

1390
01:14:54,800 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 5: the voter registration files from states. Guess what, the loose states,

1391
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 5: the sanctuary states have not complied. Yeah, even in red

1392
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 5: straight states. They've found that there are illegals that have

1393
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 5: been registered to vote. And part of why is you

1394
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 5: go do motor voter and they just register everybody. They

1395
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 5: don't screen it at the Bureau Motor Vehicles. It goes

1396
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 5: in and then it's up to the Secretary of State

1397
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 5: to screen it. Well, in places like Ohio we do that,

1398
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 5: but in places like Illinois and New Jersey, California, et cetera,

1399
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 5: they don't. And so what's the means of purging them?

1400
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 5: If you don't purge them, how do you know whether

1401
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 5: they vote or not, especially when you don't have voter ID.

1402
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 5: So you can't even tell in a state with no voter,

1403
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 5: I d who voted, you know, So I don't know

1404
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 5: how you can say you have an honest election. And

1405
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 5: this is where these two things come to a head

1406
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 5: in the Senate and they've all passed the House. I

1407
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:50,640
Speaker 5: mean they're like, well, what are you guys doing in

1408
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 5: the House, Like, well, we're going to vote again this

1409
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 5: week for like the third or fourth time, I don't

1410
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 5: know how many times we've voted to fund homeland security

1411
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 5: to keep proving we can, and then we're going to

1412
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 5: look over there at the Senate going what are you

1413
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 5: guys do? And I think they've finally gotten the message.

1414
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 5: They worked through the weekend last weekend, and I think

1415
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 5: they're going to continue to work into this, you know,

1416
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 5: Easter break, you know, and in general back home. You know,

1417
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 5: we'll meet with some people this next week when I'm

1418
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 5: back in Ohio, but as things go closer to Eastern

1419
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 5: nobody wants to meet. They want to sit together with

1420
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 5: their own families and stuff. Right, Well, Soda, members of Congress,

1421
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 5: So to the senators.

1422
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: But if they.

1423
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 5: Haven't done this, I hope they do their duty and

1424
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 5: stick around and exact job done.

1425
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no sympathy for them complaining about missing out on

1426
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Easter when they can't get this job done. I agree

1427
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: with you completely on that. We'll pause, We'll bring Congressman

1428
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: Warre and Davidson back and we'll get some insight into

1429
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: the station. It is seven twenty fififty bock Karcity TALKX Sation,

1430
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,719
Speaker 1: briand Times. The Congressman Warren Davidson, who war America's uniform

1431
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: served as country proudly in the American Armed Forces. Congressman Davidson,

1432
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: thank you for that, but also your perception about troop deployment.

1433
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 1: Donald Trump putting more and more troops in the area.

1434
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,640
Speaker 1: Not deployed on the ground yet, but it suggests that

1435
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe that's the next step. Iran still not playing ball.

1436
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: According to Press TV, the Running TV, they rejected the

1437
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 1: fifteen point plan. They came up with five conditions of

1438
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: their own, which seemed like a large and ridiculous ask themselves,

1439
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: where are we on this am A part of me

1440
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: wants to say that the Iranians are maybe trying to

1441
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 1: call President Trump's bluff and maybe get him to deploy

1442
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: ground forces. Do they take into account the political landscape

1443
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: here in America, because that's not a popular thing here

1444
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: in the United States.

1445
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 5: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean they've got a sophisticated system

1446
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 5: for intel. I think they are aware of America American culture,

1447
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 5: and they frankly they engage in and in Internet based

1448
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 5: information wars as well. So you know, Iran's not you know,

1449
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 5: the Taliban in the hills of Afghanistan. They're a much

1450
01:17:56,040 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 5: more sophisticated adversary. Nevertheless, you know, the war in the

1451
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 5: sense of the goals that the President Trump, I'd say

1452
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 5: it really Marco Rubio. President Trump stated like a lot

1453
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 5: of variations on goals, but you know, Secretury State Rubio

1454
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 5: laid out three things that they wanted to accomplish when

1455
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 5: they started. This is eliminate the missile threat from Iran

1456
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 5: and the missile production capability, eliminate the navy and UH

1457
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 5: and then cut off the ability for Iran to keep

1458
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 5: funding their proxies. And so they've really done a lot

1459
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 5: of They've had a major effect on those three goals.

1460
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 5: So but of course they've also stated lots of other goals,

1461
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 5: I mean, and part of that is, UH, you know,

1462
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 5: to create a whole information war there too, and to escalate,

1463
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 5: you know, to drive negotiations. But it's also even within

1464
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 5: our own country. So what exactly is our mission there?

1465
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 5: What are we trying to do? What are we still

1466
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,520
Speaker 5: trying to do, and so it's created a lot of uncertainty.

1467
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 5: It's supposed to create uncertainty for Iran, but you know,

1468
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 5: that's the real question for a lot of folks. We

1469
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 5: are sending ground troops over that way, people that could

1470
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 5: could enter the ground, and then you know, we just

1471
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 5: you know, my continual thing when I look at Lindsey

1472
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 5: Graham as well, I hope President Trump isn't listening to him.

1473
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 5: But that's that's unlimited. You know, if President Trump was

1474
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 5: listening less to Lindsay Graham, I'm not sure we would

1475
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 5: even be at war in Iran right now. Containment has worked.

1476
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 5: I believe containment could have continued to work. And frankly,

1477
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 5: Iran is vulnerable. Their only real source of revenue is oil,

1478
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 5: and you don't have to control the straight Offoor moves

1479
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 5: to control Iran's oil. We have a navy big enough

1480
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 5: that you can just sit down at the mouth of

1481
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 5: that gulf there and catch every Iranian flagship you want

1482
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 5: to catch with our navy.

1483
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: That that would go a long way toward interrupting the

1484
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: proxy fund.

1485
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 5: Don't you think it would go a long way to

1486
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 5: controlling everything about Iran? All right? So you could have

1487
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 5: done that with you know, not as many highlight reels

1488
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 5: with the bombings and everything, but the leverage would have

1489
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 5: been there, and maximum pressure worked very well the first

1490
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 5: first Trump administration by not even doing that, by choking

1491
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 5: off you know, the market for them, but you know,

1492
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 5: China's soaked up a lot of that market, and that's

1493
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 5: one of the things that has been going China's payment

1494
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 5: for oil and Chinese money r and bu Wan their

1495
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 5: their payment. Undermining the dollar is one of the things

1496
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 5: that is really at play in this you know, military

1497
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 5: operation here, and it's it's to counter China's influence in

1498
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 5: the region and to cut off Iran slow of cash

1499
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 5: because even if a lot of the other people were

1500
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 5: cooperative and most of the Europeans aren't, frankly, then you know,

1501
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 5: that makes the sanctions regime hard to do. Ian is

1502
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,640
Speaker 5: pouring enough cash in there alone that it kind of

1503
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 5: props up the government of Iran. So that's where maybe

1504
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 5: a navy blockade would have worked and could still work,

1505
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 5: so you don't necessarily have to control every ship out

1506
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 5: of there. But without a normal flow of oil coming

1507
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 5: out of that, you know, you waterway, you're going to

1508
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 5: continue to have major disruptions in the oil and energy.

1509
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: Markets well, and a lot of countries waking up to

1510
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,640
Speaker 1: the reality that their dream of green aspirations is going

1511
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: to kill them economically if they don't have a backup

1512
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: plan to deal with interruptions which are logical and reasonable

1513
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: to conclude as a consequence of any sort of military

1514
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: activity going on. Through that read and straight hohorror moves, boy,

1515
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: we've all learned a lot about that one. Congressman Warren Davidson,

1516
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time today, spending it

1517

Speaker 1: on the program.

1530
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.

1531
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: More troops going to the region anyway, not necessarily going

1532
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: to be deployed yet, but it's a threat to the

1533
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 1: Iranians to negotiate. They don't seem to want to negotiate,

1534
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: and part of me, Senator Paul, thinks that maybe the

1535
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: Iranians realize the political landscape you're here in the United

1536
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 1: States and maybe trying to call Donald Trump's bluff and

1537
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: get him to commit drowned groups or ground troops in

1538
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that might harm them. But I

1539
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm way out in left field on

1540
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 1: that one, but certainly the war rages on and we

1541
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: don't see any light at least I don't between both

1542
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: sides in terms of negotiating a resolution. Where are we

1543
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: on this, Senator ran Paul.

1544
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 3: You know one reason they might not want to negotiate

1545
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 3: is last summer, while they were negotiating if we bomb

1546
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 3: their nuclear facility. This time they were negotiating in Oman,

1547
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 3: and we you know, unleashed this Operation Fury and all

1548
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 3: the bombs. So I guess the last two times they've

1549
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 3: negotiated with us. The negotiations didn't really seem to be

1550
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 3: in earnest or honest negotiations, and I think they may

1551
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 3: feel that they were tricked at the time to letting

1552
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 3: down their guard. They also really are probably desperate. You know,

1553
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 3: most of their command has been removed, their supreme leaders

1554
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 3: been removed, so I don't know that they feel like

1555
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 3: they'll get honest negotiation, and I think they're just regrouping

1556
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 3: and thinking their best chance is hand to hand combat.

1557
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 3: And this is sort of people have called this the

1558
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 3: escalation trap, the idea that we have such great weapons,

1559
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 3: which we do. They're smart bombs, precision, we can plant them,

1560
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,799
Speaker 3: you know, in a ten foot radius anywhere in the world,

1561
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 3: and so we have superiority everywhere. But people think that

1562
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:59,520
Speaker 3: that means that people on the receiving end will ultimately

1563
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 3: just surrender, and they might. That would be great if

1564
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 3: that happened, But also sometimes what happens is nationalism arises

1565
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 3: and the people actually come together, even the people who

1566
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,679
Speaker 3: hate their own regime come together and begin to hate

1567
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,759
Speaker 3: the collateral damage of all the bombing.

1568
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 1: Well, and I can certainly see them going down that

1569
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: road center to Paul the geographical realities are really perilous

1570
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,879
Speaker 1: for ground troop operations. There the size of the country

1571
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: two point four times the state of Texas, and they've

1572
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: had a long time to you know, entrench themselves. You know,

1573
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 1: I think about, you know, the invasion of the small

1574
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: little islands when the United States Marines moved in towards Japan,

1575
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 1: and how you know, in trench they were, and how

1576
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 1: long it took men to you know, to overcome the forces. Hey,

1577
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: that's basically Iran, is it?

1578
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:43,640
Speaker 7: Not?

1579
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 2: Well?

1580
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 3: And you know, Lindsey Graham has gleefully said, well, there

1581
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,679
Speaker 3: was Eva Gemo, we need another Eva Gema conveniently sort

1582
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 3: of forgets that, like over twenty thousand Americans died on

1583
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 3: the island of Eva Gema was it was hell, and

1584
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 3: they did it for their country. But anybody who wishes that,

1585
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 3: or anybody who says, well, gosh, we're gonna make a

1586
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 3: lot of money off this war, I think that's just

1587
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 3: reprehensible and really those kind of people shouldn't be listened to.

1588
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 2: Look, I know people.

1589
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 3: Who will fight this war personally. I know good friends

1590
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 3: of mine's kids who will go to fight this war

1591
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 3: and may well, as far as I know, have already

1592
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 3: been over there, but I don't want I don't want

1593
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 3: the war to go on. I want the war to end,

1594
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 3: and I wanted to end as soon as possible. So

1595
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 3: we'll we'll see what happens. I continue to be a

1596
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 3: voice to say this isn't in our national interest and

1597
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 3: I don't think it furthers. I think it makes our

1598
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 3: country poor, not richer. I think it makes us as

1599
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 3: a country more vulnerable as we increase our debt. So

1600
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 3: I hope it's over sooner than later. The only thing

1601
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 3: I have to say about the troops so far, as

1602
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 3: there's about five thousand marines that the pub the press

1603
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 3: has reported over there, I don't think that's enough to

1604
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 3: really invade a country with. You know when we went

1605
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 3: into Iraq, you know when they went Iraq attack Kuwait.

1606
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 3: I think we've probably one hundred thousand troops over there,

1607
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 3: so usually when we go in, we go and it

1608
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 3: was overwhelming force. Now Venezuela was a one off, I think,

1609
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 3: and that they went in with two or three hundred

1610
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 3: people in a very precision raid to get one person

1611
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,680
Speaker 3: and leave. I don't know that that is really in

1612
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 3: the office for Iran. I think they'd want to do

1613
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 3: something like you know, this is a guess. I haven't

1614
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 3: had any briefings on this, but I guess that if

1615
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 3: you want to go in and control the straits of Hermose,

1616
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 3: I don't think you do that with a lot a

1617
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 3: thousand soldiers. I think the whole country would be up

1618
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 3: in arms. I think it wouldn't be as easy as

1619
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 3: people think.

1620
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: And my understanding is some suggest that card Island, that

1621
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: massive export terminal for Iran, might be taken over by

1622
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: the Marines. That represents some serious logistical challenges, and of

1623
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 1: course it will be easier to just make a blockade

1624
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 1: and blockade the Iranian oil tankers from getting out of

1625
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: the area. That's it seems to be an easier solution.

1626
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 1: Can I pivot over? Because I know what you were

1627
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: one of the ones that actually looks at the Constitution

1628
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: of believes there's some that need to get congressional approval.

1629
01:26:57,720 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 1: There's been no declaration of war, there's been no authors

1630
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: of use of military force, which seems to me suggest

1631
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: we're in warpowers resolution territory. But is the sixty days

1632
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: lash ninety day clock ticking on that Some are arguing

1633
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: that that hasn't even been implicated because there was no

1634
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: imminent threat, which is the justification for launching the action

1635
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,680
Speaker 1: of the first place, Senator Paul exactly.

1636
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 3: So the Constitution takes precedents, it's the first thing, and

1637
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 3: it says that the power to declare or initiate war

1638
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 3: lives with Congress. They haven't done that. The war powers

1639
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 3: out come in and says, all right, there are three

1640
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,560
Speaker 3: different ways you can go to war legally, a declaration

1641
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 3: by Congress, a use of authorization of force which is

1642
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 3: similar vote by Congress, or an eminent threat. So really

1643
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 3: the only way you can legally invade a country without

1644
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 3: Congress hoting on it is to say it's an imminent threat.

1645
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 3: The problem with that argument is they say, well, yes,

1646
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 3: a Ram started this war forty seven years ago, and

1647
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 3: I guess once you say forty seven years, it doesn't

1648
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 3: sound that imminent. You know, if they really had been

1649
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 3: at war with us for four seven years, I would

1650
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 3: think another twelve hours to call Congress in and have

1651
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,680
Speaker 3: them vote would not be delaying the imminence of this.

1652
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 3: Some have said, as Mark Rubia said, that Israel was

1653
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 3: going to attack with or without our permission, and that

1654
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,799
Speaker 3: there would have been repercussions, and those would have been imminent,

1655
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 3: and that sounds like sort of a stretch to the

1656
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 3: argument of imminence. The other argument is that it was

1657
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 3: imminent because they're imminently going to get a nuclear weapon. Well,

1658
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 3: you know, when the Trump administration bombed their nuclear facilities

1659
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 3: six months ago, they said they were obliterated, So that

1660
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 3: wouldn't be consistent. If they were obliterated, how would they

1661
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:44,320
Speaker 3: be reconstituting them. We have intel assessments, i think from

1662
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 3: eighteen different US intelligence agencies, none of which say that

1663
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 3: they're reconstituting their nuclear program or that there were weeks

1664
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 3: away from developing a weapon. And the people who have

1665
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 3: wanted this war have been saying really probably for twenty

1666
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 3: years now. Their video is going back into the nineties

1667
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 3: of them saying Iran is only one week away from

1668
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 3: getting a nuclear weapon. True, we must stop them now.

1669
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 3: And so it's somewhat of a canard, and it's hard

1670
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 3: to argue with because even at my level, nobody shows

1671
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 3: me evidence that they don't have a nuclear weapon which

1672
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 3: is or are developing. It's hard to have evidence of

1673
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 3: something that doesn't exist. But they also they closely guard

1674
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 3: this information. So when the executive takes us to war,

1675
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 3: they just tell us what they want us to hear true,

1676
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 3: and there's no real way to challenge them unless you

1677
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 3: have accessed all the classified data, and then they have

1678
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 3: it classified so you're not allowed to reveal it. So

1679
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 3: there's a lot of reasons why the argumentation is much

1680
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 3: more difficult from the outside looking in.

1681
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Well out of the concept of mutually assured destruction. I

1682
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 1: think the North Koreans are benefiting from their nuclear weapons.

1683
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 1: We know Russia and China are. We don't attack them

1684
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that they represent greater existential

1685
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: threats to our existence than even Iran. Iran of course

1686
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,799
Speaker 1: once one, so they can prevent being they can avoid

1687
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: being bombed. Nobody bombs a country with a nuclear weapon,

1688
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:01,720
Speaker 1: and isn't that the point of having one.

1689
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to see this. I mean, yeah, they're

1690
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 3: not dumb. They see this, and it's something that we

1691
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 3: have to understand from an adversary's position. Doesn't mean anybody

1692
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 3: wants a rant of a neutral weapons but from their

1693
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 3: point of view, but from their point of view that

1694
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 3: they see it as a protection from attackers.

1695
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Nobody attacks on Korea Senator.

1696
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: Ran Paul pivoting over briefly, is the time finally right

1697
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 1: for the penny Plan? I think it's a brilliant suggestion.

1698
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 1: I think we can do with a little waste of

1699
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: spending cuts with in the United States government is a

1700
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: day finally comes, sir.

1701
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 3: I think people when they hear about it say, well, gosh,

1702
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 3: it just takes a small percentage cut of everything. Even

1703
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 3: people who are enamored of their particular pet cause or

1704
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 3: someone in their family has a terrible disease and they

1705
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 3: want the government to find a cure. Even those people,

1706
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 3: when I say to them, well, gosh, it'd be a

1707
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 3: six percent cut. It used to be a penny cut,

1708
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 3: but it's gotten worse to be a six penny cut.

1709
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 3: And the six percent cut means I mean, think about it.

1710
01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 3: Let's say your family member has Alzheimer's disease and want

1711
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,759
Speaker 3: the government to research that. And I look at these people,

1712
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 3: and I have great sympathy. I have family members with

1713
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 3: it also, and I say, you got one hundred million

1714
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,719
Speaker 3: last year. What this would mean is you get ninety

1715
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 3: four million next year. And most of them look at

1716
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:15,559
Speaker 3: me and say, well, gosh, if the country's out of money.

1717
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 3: We all should do that. We all get together. It

1718
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 3: doesn't mean there's no research money in too be ninety

1719
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:23,639
Speaker 3: four million instead of one hundred million. And most people

1720
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 3: think it's reasonable unless they're in Congress. And those in

1721
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,560
Speaker 3: Congress are what's a nice.

1722
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 2: Word, not idiots.

1723
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 3: That's not a nice people in Congress. Let's just say

1724
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 3: they're profligate spenders. That's a nicer word. But they don't

1725
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 3: have a concern for the debt. But it's catching up.

1726
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 3: Medicare SOB security, you are running out of money within

1727
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 3: the next few years. Nobody is lifting a finger to

1728
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:47,719
Speaker 3: try to fix them. Every time I try to propose

1729
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 3: something for SOB security Medicare, they're not popular because they

1730
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 3: do involve reducing benefits in some ways or raising the

1731
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 3: age in some ways. But every time I bring it up,

1732
01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 3: people say, oh, you're going to try to do this

1733
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 3: this and it isn't popular. But I don't do it

1734
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 3: for a popularity contest. I know because I want those

1735
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 3: security to be there for my friends and relatives when

1736
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 3: they're turned sixty five in the next ten years.

1737
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the landscape has changed dramatically since the program is

1738
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 1: an act that changes must take place to deal with

1739
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,799
Speaker 1: the reflections of that, and it is a failing program.

1740
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 1: Just look at the numbers. The numbers don't lie, Senator Paul,

1741
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 1: you know that you're just trying to bring to people's

1742
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 1: attention third rail of politics. Okay, let's ignore the problem

1743
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: as if it does not exist, so we all will

1744
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 1: have nothing down the road.

1745
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,240
Speaker 3: There was an off edge of the day reporting how

1746
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 3: many couples get over one hundred thousand dollars a year

1747
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 3: now in retirement from ZOI security, But it also mentioned

1748
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:41,760
Speaker 3: what percentage of social security is our GDP? And I

1749
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 3: think so security is five percent of the GDP in

1750
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 3: this country. And then we look at Sweden and we say, oh,

1751
01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 3: the Sweden's terrible. They're socialists and all this. Their SOB

1752
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 3: security is less than one percent of their GDP. So

1753
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 3: they actually have pension plans that if the economy goes

1754
01:32:57,320 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 3: south and slows down, they slow down the pension pain

1755
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 3: and their average pension payments about thirty or forty thousand

1756
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 3: dollars a year. And I guess maybe that's our top.

1757
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 3: Our top is around one hundred thousand.

1758
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's not it's never apples. The apples comparisons.

1759
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul, thank you so much for your time today.

1760
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,759
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work and keep talking, keep speaking

1761
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 1: truth to the UH, the profligate spenders. Somebody will finally

1762
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 1: get through to them. I hope it's you, Senator Ram Paul.

1763
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 1: You're always walking around to the fifty five Carscree morning.

1764
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 1: Should have a great day, sir, and happy opening day

1765
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: seven forty three. Right now at thirty five krs the

1766
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: talk station Zimmer Heating and a welcome. Kurt Hartman from

1767
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:36,120
Speaker 1: the Fitty Law Firm got another lawsuit to talk about. Kurt,

1768
01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 1: could you have you back on the show today? Happy

1769
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:41,599
Speaker 1: for opening the day with you there. All right? First off,

1770
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 1: you on behalf of your client, Lisa Daily, resident of

1771
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 1: the school district Forest Hill School District. Specifically, you find

1772
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: a lawsuit on her behalf asking the Forest Hill School

1773
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 1: District to produce, hopefully an unredacted copy of their Immigrations

1774
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement response plan. Kurt Hartman got to start with,

1775
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: why do they have one in the first place? Is

1776
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:02,640
Speaker 1: this a plan in search of a problem. What's the

1777
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: story behind why they have one? They will get to

1778
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: the reasons why you're suing them.

1779
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, it is definitely, you know, a solution in

1780
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 15: search of a problem. But what has happened is, you know,

1781
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 15: since the last election, the ultra left, ultra progressives have

1782
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 15: taken over the forestill school board and so I think

1783
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 15: this is aligned with the radical leftist agenda of those

1784
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 15: on the school board.

1785
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 7: The hostility towards the school board, you know, kind of

1786
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,560
Speaker 7: predating this was you know, in late January, there was

1787
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 7: a student walk out, one of these student walkout protesting

1788
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 7: ICE right.

1789
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 9: During the middle class, during the middle school.

1790
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 7: And there's no accountability, no repercussions for the students. They

1791
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 7: disrupt the educational process. But I think because the problem,

1792
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,679
Speaker 7: you know, it was anti ICE at that time too,

1793
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 7: no problem, just do it.

1794
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 3: So, you know, I think they're kind of related, but

1795
01:34:58,320 --> 01:34:58,759
Speaker 3: it kind.

1796
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 7: Of shows this hostility and this you know, political agenda

1797
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 7: that the current school board has well.

1798
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: And I was offended by the walkout too. I was

1799
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 1: more curious to know on that one, and I don't

1800
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 1: know that it's ever been reported, but do you know,

1801
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: did those students walk out to protest at the ICE

1802
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,759
Speaker 1: at the behest of their teachers, who would should otherwise

1803
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 1: have said don't you can't leave class. You're gonna be

1804
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: held accountable, suspended, or otherwise facing penalties for walking out

1805
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:26,160
Speaker 1: of class.

1806
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 2: No, not at all.

1807
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 7: Actually, you know, there's this wull text group that the

1808
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 7: students were in that I've got access to, was provided

1809
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,840
Speaker 7: privy to, and you know, at first the students were

1810
01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 7: kind of concerned, but then they said, hey, we talked

1811
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 7: to the principal assistant principal.

1812
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 9: And hey, everything's fine, we can do it.

1813
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 7: Just you know, they gave us the parameters do this,

1814
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 7: don't shout go to the football field, you know.

1815
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 9: So so in a certain sense, I think school officials

1816
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 9: were condoning or you know, supporting in a certain sense

1817
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 9: this walkout.

1818
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,560
Speaker 7: There was never this, hey you're gonna be disrupting the school,

1819
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 7: You're gonna be held accountable, et cetera. None of that.

1820
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 7: You know, it's just okay, you know, and it's just this,

1821
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 7: you know, let's take an over academia and the educational

1822
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:13,680
Speaker 7: process itself. You know throughout the country, you know, is

1823
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 7: this is this heart radical Marxist ideology. And so when

1824
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 7: the come comes forward, so they do that walk out.

1825
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:25,360
Speaker 7: Next thing, you know, the school boards meeting and going

1826
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 7: into an.

1827
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 9: Executive session and we.

1828
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:31,559
Speaker 7: Learned that this ICE response plan comes out and says, hey,

1829
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 7: let's see it exactly what your attitude. Lets see what

1830
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,559
Speaker 7: your attitude is, because what it's doing is, if you

1831
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 7: think about it, Brian, it's how do we respond to

1832
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 7: law enforcement officers enforcing the law?

1833
01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, exact.

1834
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 7: So they redact this under a statue that's based upon

1835
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 7: you know, protecting information that's you know, an attack, sabotage.

1836
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 9: Interference, or acts of terrorism.

1837
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,320
Speaker 7: I mean this was a statue that was passed right

1838
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 7: after nine to eleven, and so that's what it's designed.

1839
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 9: It's okay, we're not.

1840
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 7: So when we are intact, when criminal activity is occurring

1841
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 7: against or you know, against public offices, how do we

1842
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 7: guard against that?

1843
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: Which is who.

1844
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:16,719
Speaker 9: Criminal activity?

1845
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:18,479
Speaker 1: Right? That's the argument you advanced in of course, Like

1846
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 1: wait a second, are you telling us that you perceive

1847
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 1: the ICE agents to be terrorists in essence?

1848
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 2: Correct?

1849
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 9: That's I mean, that's what I equate it to. I mean, terrorists, savageores,

1850
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 9: et cetera. No, you know, how how are we going

1851
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 9: to respond?

1852
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 7: And so it's like, let us see it, you know,

1853
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:41,559
Speaker 7: let's see what attitude are public officials in Forest Hill

1854
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 7: School District have towards law enforcement.

1855
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a plan which suggests there are steps

1856
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 1: to be taken in the event ICE shows up. So

1857
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,559
Speaker 1: isn't that information they want to pass along to everybody

1858
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 1: so people follow the plan, Kurt, you.

1859
01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 16: Would think you know, now in this filing they just

1860
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 16: made the other day, they said, O, well, this has

1861
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:05,679
Speaker 16: only been shared with administrators, you know, the nor average

1862
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 16: staff haven't been made privy to this.

1863
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 9: Well, that's interesting because one of the sections, you know.

1864
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:14,560
Speaker 7: Just talks about how bus drivers should respond, and that's redacted.

1865
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,559
Speaker 7: You know, we don't know what it's redacted with bus drivers.

1866
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 9: So you got this policy, but you're not telling people

1867
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:26,559
Speaker 9: how to implement it. You know, it's just this grand standing.

1868
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,200
Speaker 7: Like you said at the beginning, you know, it's a

1869
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:30,879
Speaker 7: solution in search of a problem.

1870
01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 1: And well, the attorney for the school said, you know,

1871
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 1: since you meant a comment about the education environment and

1872
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:39,680
Speaker 1: how the students were basically I would argue encouraged to

1873
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: walk out. At least they were told there we're going

1874
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,679
Speaker 1: to be no repercussions to walk out and protesting ICE

1875
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,720
Speaker 1: interrupting the educational environment. Pivoting over to the statement by

1876
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:50,720
Speaker 1: the attorney rather the district explained the ice response plan

1877
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 1: was for the purpose of safety and security for students

1878
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 1: and staff, for protecting and maintaining the educational environment from

1879
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: interference and redactions. We're legitimate understate law. I don't know

1880
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: how you get to redactions where legitim understate law. But look,

1881
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 1: they're interested in maintaining an educational environment and protecting it.

1882
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: They didn't, so their actions speak a little bit louder

1883
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 1: than the redacted words in this still yet to be

1884
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:13,519
Speaker 1: seen plan.

1885
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 7: Correct, correct, Yeah, it's like I said, so, so it's like,

1886
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 7: you know, let us see, let us see what are

1887
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 7: what your attitude is or what are these selected officials? Yeah,

1888
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 7: you know what their attitude is. Let us see it

1889
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 7: either your pro law enforcement or you'll be taking a

1890
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 7: hostile position or towards it. You know, and if you

1891
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:37,120
Speaker 7: think about you know this, this was a school board

1892
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 7: that ran on openness and transparency. You know, they're a

1893
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 7: little buzz where it's all everything's being done in secret,

1894
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:44,719
Speaker 7: everything's behind closed doors.

1895
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:46,919
Speaker 9: And within two months they're.

1896
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 7: In office and guess what they've become that which they disdained, right,

1897
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 7: But but but that's typical.

1898
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 9: But that's typical.

1899
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:58,719
Speaker 7: I think with the left that they will say whatever

1900
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 7: they have to say to get elect But then you know,

1901
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 7: they become it becomes rules for thee but not.

1902
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 1: For me clearly. So we're in we're in motion practice

1903
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 1: stage right now, you file the claim, what do they

1904
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: file a motion to dismiss. Rather you said.

1905
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 7: Dismiss, I filed I followed the response yesterday, you know,

1906
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 7: and it's gonna be denied. The you know, I've done

1907
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 7: enough public records cases where you know, this type of case.

1908
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 7: But the courts will say is no, that will tell

1909
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 7: the school districts submit whatever this plan is unredacted to

1910
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 7: the court under seal so they can look at it,

1911
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 7: and then the court's going to decide whether or not

1912
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:37,360
Speaker 7: this really is a you know, quote unquote security record

1913
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 7: record to guard against you know, attack, interference, sabotage, or

1914
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 7: acts of terrorism.

1915
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:48,040
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Kurt Hartman, Uh, this results in sizable litigation

1916
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 1: fees getting racked up. I imagine the school district's iner

1917
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:52,719
Speaker 1: defend its actions. They have to pay lawyers to respond

1918
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 1: to the motions and go into court and make maybe

1919
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,640
Speaker 1: make the motions and motions that dismiss for example. So

1920
01:40:58,200 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when you win, and

1921
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm confident that you will since you typically do win

1922
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: these Kurt artmen, are they going to be elder or

1923
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:06,679
Speaker 1: are you going to be eligible to get your retorney's

1924
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 1: fees covered by a yes?

1925
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 9: Yes, that's pervision. That's provision of the Public Records Act.

1926
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 7: So you know, the State LEDs General Assembly and acting

1927
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 7: this law said hey, we want people, we want to

1928
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:22,919
Speaker 7: encourage people to bring actions that governments are improperly withholding

1929
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 7: public records. You should be able to pursue it and

1930
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,320
Speaker 7: not be dependent upon, you know, you having to pay

1931
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 7: the fees. So at the end of the day, you win,

1932
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:31,520
Speaker 7: the government.

1933
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 1: Pays the fees grant. This is typically a contingency feed

1934
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 1: type case. Kurt correct, fair enough. That means Lisa Delly

1935
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 1: is going to be on the hook to the extent

1936
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't go her way. And I appreciate your willingness

1937
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 1: to do this kind of work work card. I wish

1938
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 1: we had more lawyers who would who would do exactly

1939
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 1: what you do and pursue these kind of cases.

1940
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad they're not actually for my faith, but

1941
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 7: you know, yeah, it's good and you know people people

1942
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:57,519
Speaker 7: do it, and you know, I get calls all the

1943
01:41:57,560 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 7: time on the stuff like this. So but you know

1944
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 7: they saw I'm out there doing them, fighting for the

1945
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 7: people to get their records.

1946
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: You are, how quickly will this be turned around? Your

1947
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 1: brief has been filed, so it's in the court's lap,

1948
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 1: you say, within thirty days or so.

1949
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 7: Well, the motion to dismiss will probably be decided, probably

1950
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 7: within three months. Unfortunately, then the briefing schedule will be

1951
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 7: a month after that, a probably a decision a year

1952
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 7: from now. I'm fortunate.

1953
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 9: Unfortunately these do not move fast.

1954
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough on that. And I got to ask,

1955
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:27,640
Speaker 1: are you aware of any other of our you know,

1956
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:30,679
Speaker 1: sort of local or slash regional school districts that have

1957
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: an immigrations and custom enforcement response plan?

1958
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 9: Well? Yeah, yeah, be honest with you.

1959
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 7: What we did is we actually did a request to Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo,

1960
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 7: and Springfield schools for their plans, same request. How are

1961
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:51,560
Speaker 7: you going to respond? They provided what they had, okay, unredacted.

1962
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 9: I think the only redaction in one was a cell

1963
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:54,719
Speaker 9: phone number.

1964
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 7: A cell phone number. Find I'm not but you know,

1965
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 7: and you know, it's kind of surprising me. I thought

1966
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 7: there was some template that was circulating.

1967
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: Of course.

1968
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, honestly, they were all unique and distinct. One was

1969
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:09,400
Speaker 7: just kind of an email that the superintendent sent out

1970
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 7: the staff saying, Hey, if this.

1971
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,720
Speaker 9: Happens, we need to be professional, you know.

1972
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,439
Speaker 7: But again, so, yeah, we did the inquiry kind of

1973
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,719
Speaker 7: across the state just to see, just to see.

1974
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 1: Okay, so and it was happening.

1975
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 9: None of them had an issue. Okay, here it is.

1976
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:25,400
Speaker 9: Within a day or two, they provided it and unredacted.

1977
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: Better understanding of the law that they're supposed to operate under.

1978
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 1: That suggests so Forest Hills is out in the wind

1979
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 1: on that one. Now did you in looking at these

1980
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:36,360
Speaker 1: other policies, It doesn't sound like you tracked a theme.

1981
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: And I was expecting a one size fits all plan

1982
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 1: for all the school districts brought to you by some

1983
01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 1: woke teachers union. But there isn't a theme like we

1984
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: need to resist ice, we need to do you know,

1985
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: not invite them in, not cooperate them. That didn't come through,

1986
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:53,519
Speaker 1: and the ones you looked at that is correct.

1987
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was essentially not.

1988
01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 7: No, we're not going to outright cooperate, but you know,

1989
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 7: they need to go go to the office, they need

1990
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 7: to do this.

1991
01:44:03,320 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 9: We need to do that, you know, sure, but but

1992
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 9: you know most of it was just be calm, be professional,

1993
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 9: et cetera.

1994
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 1: Well, that's actually refreshing to hear and surprising, honestly, Kurt

2007
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: having you on my program.

2008
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:49,160
Speaker 2: Well, happy Opening Day to you.

2009
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 10: My friend.

2010
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll keep our fingers crossed anyhow. Just laughing because

2011
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,719
Speaker 1: someone suggested earlier that if the Reds have a really

2012
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: great season and we start selling out games, a great

2013
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:01,679
Speaker 1: American Ball, they're gonna have to deal with the curfew.

2014
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 1: They've apparently relaxed the curfew law because of the opening

2015
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 1: day and the quantity of people are down there, so

2016
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:10,000
Speaker 1: no curfew for young people will have to cross that bridge.

2017
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get to that bridge because we'll be doing

2018
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:12,639
Speaker 1: so well.

2019
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 2: I would love to think that that would be something

2020
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 2: we'd have to worry about moving forward.

2021
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, we all know where the bets are being

2022
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: placed on that anyway, Jay Ratliffe, let's get over to

2023
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 1: the list of topics we got this morning, and some

2024
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:26,439
Speaker 1: good ones on the list, starting off with the latest

2025
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 1: of the New York plane crash Laguardi Airport, and I

2026
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:31,280
Speaker 1: got to see the video. We talked last week about

2027
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 1: this because it was kind of still unfolding, and then

2028
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,559
Speaker 1: the video of the plane impacting the fire truck came

2029
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: out and that plane looked like it was going to

2030
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 1: hell of a lot faster than the twenty twenty five

2031
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:41,639
Speaker 1: miles prior was originally thought.

2032
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was given off of some of the

2033
01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 2: ground systems that sometimes have a difficult time measuring the

2034
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 2: ground speed. But that once the NTSB was able to

2035
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 2: retrieve both of the black boxes, the cockpit voice recorder

2036
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 2: as well as the flight data recorder. They're going to

2037
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 2: have all the specifics down to a tee on everything.

2038
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 2: And one of the things we did find out was

2039
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 2: one the aircraft was on final approach, the first officer

2040
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 2: was at the controls. It was it was his plane,

2041
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 2: and when they broke the clouds and just at the

2042
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 2: point they had rotated down where the Ford landing gear

2043
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:20,599
Speaker 2: was on the runway, apparently that's when they spotted the

2044
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 2: fire truck recognized the emergency at hand. Captain says my airplane.

2045
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 2: So you've got the more experience to the two taking over,

2046
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 2: but they simply just didn't have enough time to do much.

2047
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 2: And you know, one of the things that I continue

2048
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 2: to look at through all of this is had they

2049
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 2: veered in any certain way where a fuel tank and

2050
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 2: one of the wings could have been impacted instead of

2051
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 2: the nose of the aircraft, right, we could have been

2052
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:47,600
Speaker 2: talking about totally totally different set of circumstances where we

2053
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:51,000
Speaker 2: could have had a much more significant loss of life.

2054
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:56,880
Speaker 2: So a lots being stated about these people that as

2055
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 2: far as the crew and all, maybe not having as

2056
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:01,880
Speaker 2: many flight hours as you would like but I think

2057
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:04,439
Speaker 2: the investigation is going to show that those two pilots

2058
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 2: did absolutely everything they could with what limited time they

2059
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 2: had during a time you had a wet runway to

2060
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 2: try to bring that aircraft to a stop as quickly

2061
01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:14,919
Speaker 2: as possible.

2062
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,240
Speaker 1: Well a stop or the other thought that went through

2063
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: my mind and looking at the video, I appreciate that

2064
01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: this is not a realist necessarily a realistic opportunity, but

2065
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:25,719
Speaker 1: not being a pilot, I got to ask the whole

2066
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 1: idea of maybe pulling out or doing a quick touch

2067
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 1: and go, that's that was out of the out of

2068
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 1: the out of the equation at that moment.

2069
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 2: Well, that the Delta taxiways is less than a third

2070
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:37,800
Speaker 2: of the way down the runway, So when you have

2071
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 2: just landed, if you see there's an emergency and you've

2072
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 2: got to power up and take off, there's no way

2073
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:45,840
Speaker 2: they had enough real estate between them and the truck

2074
01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 2: to roll, because again you're talking about touching down in

2075
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:52,800
Speaker 2: that taxiway being a third of the way or so

2076
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:56,040
Speaker 2: down the around down the runway, and a lot of

2077
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,639
Speaker 2: individuals are saying, well, Jay, come on the fire truck,

2078
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:01,680
Speaker 2: how could you not see this airplane coming? But this

2079
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 2: wasn't a straight across delta taxi way straight across as

2080
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 2: far as between where the fire truck was progressing, if

2081
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm reading the airport diagrams right, and from what I've seen,

2082
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 2: it was something that was pointed more away for the aircraft,

2083
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 2: kind of at a diagonal acrossing of the runway, so

2084
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 2: that the driver never would have been able to see

2085
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 2: over his right side as far as the approach of

2086
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,400
Speaker 2: any aircraft, and the person sitting on the right side

2087
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 2: would have had a difficult time initially. But what we

2088
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 2: can see from that video that you referenced is that

2089
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:36,439
Speaker 2: the fire truck did at the last minute try to

2090
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 2: turn away, but obviously, you know, not nearly enough, not

2091
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 2: soon enough for that impact to take place. But just

2092
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 2: a lot of things here in the NTSB chief is

2093
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 2: going to continue to give us a briefings, and I

2094
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 2: think that all of this is going to show that

2095
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 2: there is a series of things that perhaps we could

2096
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:56,639
Speaker 2: have done better. One of the topics that keeps coming

2097
01:48:56,720 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 2: up is the fact that the airport there is equipped

2098
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 2: just one of the I think thirty thirty five airports

2099
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:04,800
Speaker 2: in the country that have got the technology where they

2100
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:09,920
Speaker 2: can put transponders on the ground equipment where they can

2101
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:13,400
Speaker 2: make sure where everything's at at all times, and this

2102
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 2: fire truck was not equipped with that. So I think

2103
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:18,799
Speaker 2: one of the many recommendations that the NTSB will probably

2104
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 2: roll out is let's make the most of the technology

2105
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 2: that we have in place at these airports to try

2106
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 2: to do what we can again to keep things off

2107
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:29,720
Speaker 2: the runway that shouldn't be there.

2108
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 1: Well, Jay, you know the old thing my parents taught me,

2109
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:33,640
Speaker 1: You look both ways before you across the street. And

2110
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I don't want to cast any aspersions on

2111
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:37,200
Speaker 1: the fire truck crew, but you know, the world's an

2112
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,040
Speaker 1: imperfect place. Wouldn't it be a great idea, just as

2113
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:43,439
Speaker 1: a matter of default and practice and protocol, that before

2114
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,080
Speaker 1: you cross the runway you'll look on either side because

2115
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: air traffic control can be overwhelmed and sometimes they get

2116
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: it wrong, so let's do a double check. I know

2117
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 1: that I've gotten the nose of my car torn off

2118
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 1: because I trusted the green light gave me straight an

2119
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:00,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to go ahead without looking either way, only to

2120
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 1: have someone blow through a red light and crash. Enemy.

2121
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 1: I never do that again. I get a green light

2122
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:06,919
Speaker 1: I look both ways before I proceed into the intersection.

2123
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and pause just a bit. But you know, in

2124
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 2: the pilots when they're cleared to land, they recognize anything

2125
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 2: can happen at any time, So keep your head on

2126
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 2: a swivel and look out for everything and anticipate a

2127
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 2: lot of different scenarios. And I'm sure that the fire

2128
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 2: crew is trained to do the same thing. Now, they

2129
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 2: were responding to an emergency. They're trying to get their

2130
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 2: head around what they're going to be doing when they

2131
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 2: get to that United flight that had declared an emergency

2132
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 2: because of odors on the plane with one of the

2133
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 2: crew members falling ill. So I know their mind was

2134
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 2: probably there, but you know, you trust their traffic control

2135
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:43,479
Speaker 2: when you're giving clearance to land or clearance to cross

2136
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 2: that it's okay to do so. But you're right, And again,

2137
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 2: the investigation will show different things. Fortunately the two individuals

2138
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:53,960
Speaker 2: in the truck survived, so they will be able to

2139
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:56,880
Speaker 2: be interviewed and they'll be able to give you a

2140
01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 2: moment by moment account of exactly what took place, and

2141
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 2: I think that's going to help the investigators as well.

2142
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll see where the investigation goes and again

2143
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,760
Speaker 2: hopefully we can find many things that we can put

2144
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 2: into place to make things safer for Fuddy on the

2145
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 2: ground than certainly in the plane.

2146
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:16,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like a better communication between helicopters and

2147
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:19,719
Speaker 1: flying around Reagan Airport. That comes to mind too, Jay Ratleff,

2148
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 1: let's pauseble bring Jay ratlet talk about Oh look, TSA

2149
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:27,679
Speaker 1: lines and maybe even still possible closures of airports. More

2150
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 1: with Jay RADLERFT stick around fifty five Car Todd krc

2151
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:33,719
Speaker 1: lead talk station.

2152
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 7: Have you ever been in a cockpit before?

2153
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 11: Hey?

2154
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:39,439
Speaker 1: Thirty nine to fifty about KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas

2155
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:42,719
Speaker 1: with iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Rally. Jay, my friend

2156
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:44,840
Speaker 1: Maureen Gott touched me issues and waiting in the airport

2157
01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 1: in Florida. Heated your advice. Got word went around that,

2158
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, TSA lines are really really long. Of course

2159
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: because of the government shut down, they're not being paid,

2160
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:53,679
Speaker 1: they're not showing up. They have to get second jobs

2161
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 1: or they have to quit. Ice jumped in and tried

2162
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 1: to solve some of the problem. We'll ask you how

2163
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 1: that's going. But her point was she showed up four

2164
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:04,599
Speaker 1: hours early, there was no line she got right through

2165
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 1: and then only to find out her flight has been

2166
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: delayed because there are problems that other airports. Ripple effect,

2167
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:12,320
Speaker 1: meaning she's going to be stuck at the airport for

2168
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: at least eight hours before she can get out. Jay,

2169
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:17,240
Speaker 1: this is a ripple effect problem, is it not?

2170
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 2: It is although you can't we can't attribute a lot

2171
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 2: of the flight delays to the airport issues because airlines

2172
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:27,960
Speaker 2: are going to dispatch those airplanes as much as they

2173
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 2: can right on time or as close to it as possible,

2174
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 2: because delays cost them a great deal of money. Plus

2175
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 2: they've already got our money. So you know, the airlines

2176
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:40,120
Speaker 2: are saying that, look, if you want to change your

2177
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:42,679
Speaker 2: itinerary flight at a later time when maybe things aren't

2178
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 2: quite as crazy, they've issued a waiver which means that

2179
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:48,840
Speaker 2: we can change our reservations absent of a change fee,

2180
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:51,680
Speaker 2: which is really really you know, kind of them and

2181
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:55,799
Speaker 2: good to see. But what I'm seeing is in Houston

2182
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:59,599
Speaker 2: and Atlanta and other places, we're seeing the TSA lines

2183
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 2: get your So the processing time is getting better because

2184
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:07,559
Speaker 2: those TSA agents are helping again. They can manage exit lanes,

2185
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 2: they can help facilitate the movement of the people that

2186
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:12,840
Speaker 2: are there. They can do a lot of the non

2187
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:16,680
Speaker 2: technical side of things while being there. And Brian, what

2188
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:19,439
Speaker 2: I continue to see is exactly what I expected. The

2189
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 2: more interaction that passengers have with ICE agents, the more

2190
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 2: they see that, oh my gosh, these people aren't the devil,

2191
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 2: They're not bad at all. They're kill me exactly. So,

2192
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:34,680
Speaker 2: if you're on the Democratic side of the discussion and

2193
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 2: you're thrilled with the chaos that's being created because of

2194
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:40,720
Speaker 2: the shutdown, one President Trump has stepped in to try

2195
01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:42,280
Speaker 2: to stop that, and I think it was a great

2196
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 2: move operationally. But the other thing you need to look

2197
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 2: out for is when you have hundreds and hundreds of

2198
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,599
Speaker 2: thousands of people to start interacting with these ICE agents

2199
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 2: and they recognize that there are men and women just

2200
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 2: like everybody else, and maybe the way that they've been

2201
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 2: portrayed by some media is a little bit, shall we

2202
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:02,040
Speaker 2: say off. I think that that interaction, the longer that

2203
01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:04,360
Speaker 2: it goes, is only going to work to the betterment

2204
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:07,840
Speaker 2: of the ICE image, and I don't think it's going

2205
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 2: to go quite the way that we're seeing. A lot

2206
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 2: of the Democrats wanted to go, and that's one of

2207
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,200
Speaker 2: the reasons I think that we're seeing so many of

2208
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 2: them scream get Ice out of the airports. Yeah, I

2209
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 2: know why you want them out of the airports because

2210
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 2: of the fact that that interaction with passengers is going

2211
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:23,639
Speaker 2: so good.

2212
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 1: Their game plan is to cause pain to their constituents, yes,

2213
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: and ICE will take away the pain, obviously having an

2214
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: impact on their claim that Ice are a bunch of murderers.

2215
01:54:35,280 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 1: So it's a two fold benefit for the Trump administration.

2216
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, it was a double win politically and operationally

2217
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:43,800
Speaker 2: when it when it happened, I thought, you know, that

2218
01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:46,680
Speaker 2: was really a stroke of genius because you know, he's

2219
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:49,440
Speaker 2: solving the problem as much as he can because it's

2220
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 2: out of his hands. It's it's the people in Congress

2221
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 2: got to get this thing done. Yeah, and so as

2222
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 2: a result, he's like, well, I can't fix it, but

2223
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 2: what I can do is try to leave you some

2224
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 2: of these delays at certain airports and deploying ICE, which

2225
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 2: you know you just mentioned that word people going to

2226
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 2: hysterics was certainly a great idea because these are highly

2227
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:13,960
Speaker 2: trained government agents and employees, and look, they're trained in

2228
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 2: law enforcement. It's always good to have an extra set

2229
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:19,040
Speaker 2: of those hands around the security checkpoint as well, and

2230
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 2: they're doing a great job. So look, I know they're

2231
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:23,800
Speaker 2: limited what they can do, but if they can free

2232
01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 2: up other individuals to do other things, it's going to

2233
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 2: do nothing but help. And when you see the number

2234
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:31,360
Speaker 2: of people that are calling in, I mean some of

2235
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:33,320
Speaker 2: these folks have missed more than a month of paychecks

2236
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 2: and they've got to put food on the table. I

2237
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:40,440
Speaker 2: totally totally get it. And Brandon, this can't go much

2238
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 2: longer because you just can't expect people to show up

2239
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 2: for work, cheerfully, be there, do the job keeping all

2240
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 2: of us safe, and you know we'll pay you when

2241
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:49,600
Speaker 2: we get around to it.

2242
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's I don't understand how they don't understand

2243
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:55,880
Speaker 1: the optics and how terrible it is for them, but

2244
01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:58,000
Speaker 1: they'll struggle with it. And near the other opponent of

2245
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 1: this and I hesitate to even say it out, but

2246
01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 1: since the FBI has warned the American people generally speaking

2247
01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: about large concentrated groups of people and keep your eyes

2248
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,440
Speaker 1: peeled Opening Day Parade, the DEM's playing with fire on this.

2249
01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:12,560
Speaker 1: And not only do you have those massive unnecessary lines

2250
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:15,000
Speaker 1: and packfull of areas of the airport that have not

2251
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 1: yet been screened. There's a potential there for a terrorist action,

2252
01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: maybe even on an airplane. Nobody wants that to happen.

2253
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 1: But if that were to happen, I don't know how

2254
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 1: they get out from underneath that problem they created.

2255
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:29,920
Speaker 2: I agree because it's well, you know, it's just a

2256
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 2: matter of what's the crisis and how can we find

2257
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 2: a way to blame it on our opposition? And instead

2258
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:38,160
Speaker 2: of really trying to solve problems, it's a perception problem,

2259
01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 2: and they manage the perception of security and leadership instead

2260
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:44,080
Speaker 2: of actually doing things. And we all know this, and

2261
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:46,480
Speaker 2: we all get frustrated, but we keep sending the same

2262
01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 2: bozos back to DC every single time, and it's like,

2263
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you know, this is what the consequences are

2264
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:58,560
Speaker 2: for us voting to the same person back in and

2265
01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't care which side of the aisle they're all.

2266
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:02,600
Speaker 2: It just frustrates me because look, you know, last week

2267
01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 2: we hit the thirty nine trillion dollar mark in the

2268
01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:06,880
Speaker 2: national debt. Took us five months from the time we

2269
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 2: hit thirty eight. It's going to take us less than

2270
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:13,600
Speaker 2: five to hit hit forty and zero zero zero urgency

2271
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 2: to address that or take care of it, just like

2272
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 2: the social security mess that were just years away from

2273
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 2: it blowing up in our face. So there's no leadership there.

2274
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:24,120
Speaker 2: So and that's why when I hear these individuals talk

2275
01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:27,480
Speaker 2: about the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and how outdated that

2276
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 2: these people can't couldn't create something that could last twenty years,

2277
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 2: not two hundred and fifty years. So when I hear

2278
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 2: them spouting off about how this or that needed to

2279
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 2: be changed, I'm thinking, well, maybe, but certainly not by you,

2280
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 2: because you can't fix any single problem that lands on

2281
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:43,160
Speaker 2: your desk.

2282
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 1: See, this is one of the reasons I love talking

2283
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 1: on the program Jay have at it. Oh, I'm just

2284
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 1: I love it.

2285
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 2: I love our country. And when we've traveled the world,

2286
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 2: people come up to Sherry and I when they hear

2287
01:57:55,680 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 2: speaking English, and they ask us what it's like to

2288
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 2: be an American. What's it like to be to have

2289
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:03,800
Speaker 2: the freedom to start your own business, or you know,

2290
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:06,200
Speaker 2: to buy land instead of like when we were in China,

2291
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 2: where you can rent it from the government for seventy

2292
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 2: years before you have to give it back. I mean,

2293
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 2: all of these things that we just take so casually

2294
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:16,360
Speaker 2: for granted. And then I see somebody here with a little,

2295
01:58:16,480 --> 01:58:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, frown on their face, the sourpuss, and talk

2296
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:22,560
Speaker 2: about how bad things are. And my first question is always, well,

2297
01:58:22,640 --> 01:58:24,280
Speaker 2: I mean, how many other countries have you been to?

2298
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 2: In which country have you observed? Personally? That's better? Oh

2299
01:58:27,240 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 2: you don't need to travel to know how bad?

2300
01:58:29,280 --> 01:58:29,960
Speaker 7: Oh?

2301
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 2: Yes you do.

2302
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:31,440
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah.

2303
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 2: Perception and perspective go hand in hand there. And it

2304
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:38,240
Speaker 2: just bothers me because look, I won the lottery being

2305
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 2: born an American, and I'm never going to take that

2306
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:40,920
Speaker 2: for granted.

2307
01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:43,680
Speaker 1: Good and we'll bring it back. Is this an opportunity

2308
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:47,360
Speaker 1: to join the mile high club? United Airlines relax Row plus?

2309
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 1: What is a customer of size going over to Southwest Airlines? We'

2310
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 1: get a couple of seat policy changes with Jay after

2311
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: these three words.

2312
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:57,680
Speaker 5: Fifty five KRC dot com.

2313
01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 1: He talks Facer eight forty nine here fifty five parirseit

2314
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:03,600
Speaker 1: de talk station Bryan Simas. With Jay Ratliffe, I heard

2315
01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 1: need the aviation expert and political commentator, which I love.

2316
01:59:07,520 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 1: Jay Rattliff. I got two new seat policies into one.

2317
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,400
Speaker 1: Wasn't on the list that will be answering the question

2318
01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 1: over at Southwest what is a customer of size? But first,

2319
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,120
Speaker 1: the one that you put down, which looks like I

2320
01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: don't know, based upon the photograph you sent me an

2321
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to join the mile high club made easier by

2322
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 1: United Airlines. I know I'm wrong on that, but that

2323
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:25,520
Speaker 1: looks like a bed to me.

2324
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 2: It's a couch. Yeah, and I did not send it

2325
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 2: to you with that in mind. But that is the

2326
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:36,840
Speaker 2: story of the day in the United Airlines is doing

2327
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:41,760
Speaker 2: a lot like Lusanza and a Zealand is doing, saying

2328
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:44,839
Speaker 2: that we will on some of our wide bodied aircraft,

2329
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 2: which are the longer flights, we'll give you the opportunity

2330
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:51,600
Speaker 2: if at the time of departure there's empty seats and

2331
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 2: you want to buy the row, you can buy a row,

2332
01:59:54,840 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 2: pay a little bit more money and we will give

2333
01:59:57,440 --> 01:59:59,240
Speaker 2: you a little couch type of thing you can lay down.

2334
01:59:59,280 --> 02:00:01,000
Speaker 2: We'll give you a special seat belt that you can

2335
02:00:01,440 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 2: be secured in there. We'll give you a little pillow,

2336
02:00:03,600 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 2: little blank if your kids are there, give them a

2337
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 2: little stuffed animal. Yeah. So the thought is and this

2338
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:11,680
Speaker 2: is brilliant. It's one of the ways airlines just continue

2339
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:14,000
Speaker 2: to find a way to squeeze at every penny we can,

2340
02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 2: because let's say you've got a wide bodied aircraft that's

2341
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:19,240
Speaker 2: twenty five percent empty, and you're thinking, how can we

2342
02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:21,000
Speaker 2: get more revenue from the people that are on there,

2343
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 2: because we can't sell any more seats. Ah, let's tell

2344
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 2: people that can buy the whole row. You know, maybe

2345
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:28,520
Speaker 2: not as much as it would be triple the cost,

2346
02:00:28,600 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, you can get your seat in the two

2347
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 2: next to you at a slightly additional fee, and you

2348
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:37,240
Speaker 2: can just lay down and enjoy the longer flight. So

2349
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:41,400
Speaker 2: it's brilliant and United's the first US carrier to do it.

2350
02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 2: And the thought is that you can relax and look

2351
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 2: at I remember back in the eighties when I got

2352
02:00:47,240 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 2: started in the airline industry early in those years nineteen

2353
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:52,480
Speaker 2: eighty one, some of our load factors are forty five

2354
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:55,360
Speaker 2: forty seven percent. You would frequently be on a plane

2355
02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 2: when you know the door shuts, flight tensions, move wherever

2356
02:00:58,120 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 2: you want, and you can have a whole road to yourself.

2357
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 2: Those days are obviously gone. But now your lines have

2358
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 2: found a way that if the flight's not entirely full

2359
02:01:04,960 --> 02:01:07,320
Speaker 2: and you are working and you want extra room, have

2360
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:09,360
Speaker 2: the whole road to yourself, or you want you and

2361
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:12,320
Speaker 2: your wife to or you know whatever, there's a way

2362
02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:14,960
Speaker 2: to do it, of course in an additional cost, but hey,

2363
02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:16,240
Speaker 2: what a great idea.

2364
02:01:16,240 --> 02:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Great idea. You know. One of the best flights I

2365
02:01:18,680 --> 02:01:21,040
Speaker 1: was ever on, Jay Ratliff, I was the only passenger

2366
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 1: on one of the small jets coming in from Chicago

2367
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. H what happened to everyting? You know? Who

2368
02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:28,760
Speaker 1: sat down next to me and gave me free drinks

2369
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:34,000
Speaker 1: for the whole flight? The flight attendant, absolutely, she was friendly.

2370
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:37,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you she was friendly, Edie.

2371
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:41,280
Speaker 2: It's nice. And you know, if they can also do

2372
02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:43,800
Speaker 2: they sometimes they'll do a high performance takeoff. If they've

2373
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:45,360
Speaker 2: just got one on board and you're having fun with

2374
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:48,600
Speaker 2: the pilots, they'll be like, okay, and they'll send a

2375
02:01:48,640 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 2: little faster than normal. Just have a little bit of fun.

2376
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:52,600
Speaker 2: And you know that's always enjoyable as.

2377
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Well, no doubt about it. And moving over, what is

2378
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 1: a customer of size? I guess it's if you spill over,

2379
02:01:57,880 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 1: or as Southwestern refer it to his customers who encroach

2380
02:02:01,360 --> 02:02:03,640
Speaker 1: upon their neighboring seats, I guess they're in for an

2381
02:02:03,640 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: additional charge now. To pick caught people by surprise.

2382
02:02:06,080 --> 02:02:09,240
Speaker 2: Jay, Well, you know it used to be with Southwest

2383
02:02:09,320 --> 02:02:12,440
Speaker 2: that you could pay for the seat and then if

2384
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:15,840
Speaker 2: the flight was only so so empty, that you could

2385
02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:19,800
Speaker 2: request a refund for the one seat that you had

2386
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:22,240
Speaker 2: to pay extra. And a lot of people are calling

2387
02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 2: this a fat tax, because what's happened is Southwest has

2388
02:02:25,040 --> 02:02:28,280
Speaker 2: changed their policy where they only do this if the

2389
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:31,160
Speaker 2: flight's not sold out or is sold out, and you

2390
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:34,120
Speaker 2: have a shorter period of time to request the refund.

2391
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 2: And there's people that have gone to social media saying, hey, look,

2392
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Southwest is you know, singled me out because of my size,

2393
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:44,520
Speaker 2: and you know that's not really the case. What happens,

2394
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 2: and I've had to have these conversations with people at

2395
02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:48,920
Speaker 2: the airport is to explain to them that they simply

2396
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:52,760
Speaker 2: won't be comfortable in a seat by themselves like that,

2397
02:02:52,800 --> 02:02:55,280
Speaker 2: and they need a second seat. And I normally blame

2398
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 2: it on the fact that the seats are getting smaller,

2399
02:02:57,320 --> 02:02:59,400
Speaker 2: and of course the airline's doing what they can here

2400
02:02:59,440 --> 02:03:02,200
Speaker 2: to to cram as many seats on an airplane. And

2401
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:04,959
Speaker 2: you tell people that because of their big bone structure

2402
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 2: that they just need a little bit more room, and

2403
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 2: you know, most people that have flown understand that it's

2404
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:13,000
Speaker 2: a sensitive conversation that you have kind of away from

2405
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 2: everybody else. But there are times when you have to

2406
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 2: pay for an extra seat. And of course Southwest has

2407
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:22,040
Speaker 2: been very accommodating in a lot of regards to this

2408
02:03:22,120 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 2: in the past, and they've kind of been their own

2409
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:26,480
Speaker 2: worst enemy because now that they're tightening up the restrictions

2410
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:29,600
Speaker 2: just a bit, there's a pushback and it becomes okay,

2411
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:31,920
Speaker 2: this is all about revenue now. No, Southwest is kind

2412
02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:34,440
Speaker 2: of adopting the same policy every other carrier is doing

2413
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:36,920
Speaker 2: and trying to be as sensitive as they can on it.

2414
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:39,800
Speaker 2: I certainly don't have any problem with what they're doing,

2415
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 2: but again, because of how things have been in the past,

2416
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 2: now kind of translate it into Southwest Airlines not caring

2417
02:03:47,240 --> 02:03:48,880
Speaker 2: right now, that's to me not the case.

2418
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Finishing up as we always do on hub delay. As

2419
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 1: little reluctant to ask the question, even given the TSA's

2420
02:03:53,480 --> 02:03:56,280
Speaker 1: problems we're facing here, but in so far as travel today,

2421
02:03:56,320 --> 02:03:57,280
Speaker 1: what's your take on at Jay.

2422
02:03:57,240 --> 02:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Ratlis weatherwise minor issue Minneapolis and maybe Detroit, and again

2423
02:04:02,240 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 2: I cite minor minor Miner's going to be a beautiful

2424
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:07,640
Speaker 2: day to fly. However, we are still having pockets of

2425
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:10,400
Speaker 2: some of the TSA lines being longer than expected. Now, look,

2426
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:12,720
Speaker 2: we are very spoiled here at CBG, as you mentioned

2427
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 2: this morning when we let off, so a lot of

2428
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:16,640
Speaker 2: people say, well, it's not that bad. So when they

2429
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 2: come back from some of these other cities, they're expecting

2430
02:04:19,280 --> 02:04:21,840
Speaker 2: to have the same sort of staffing that we have here.

2431
02:04:22,680 --> 02:04:24,800
Speaker 2: Not the case always. And the best thing to do

2432
02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 2: is when you get to certain airports, just pull off

2433
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:29,320
Speaker 2: and ask one of the TSA agents or supervisors say,

2434
02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:32,480
Speaker 2: look them scheduled to fly back next Tuesday. You know

2435
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:35,040
Speaker 2: what's going on? How much time should I allow coming back?

2436
02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 2: And they will be very forthcoming and saying, hey, glad

2437
02:04:37,520 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 2: you asked about three hours. Should do it for whatever

2438
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 2: it might happen to be. Because yes, it's bad enough

2439
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 2: that we have to endure travel now, Brian, we have

2440
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:46,680
