Again going 30 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: back to the whole concept which is going to end 31 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: up in a government shutdown, the idea of administrative warrens 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: versus judicial warrens in connection with picking up illegal immigrants 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: roaming around on our streets.

Stream 44 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the audio wherever you happen to be and enjoy it. Yeah. 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: Duke Energy was talking with I guess uh the Inquire 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: the other day describing people's reaction like me with their 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: Duke Energy bill sticker shock, Duke Energy's a hiring Kentucky 48 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: President Amy Speller speaking with their uh That's so Cincinnati podcast, 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: talking about, Hey, Duke's not making more money. We're not 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: cashing in on this. We only supply gas and electricity 51 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: priced at cost in Ohio. But she did say part 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: of Ohio's difficulty this is so ridiculous a power supply 53 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: shortage caused by the retirement of facilities since twenty ten 54 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: in Ohio and other states, during which there's been a 55 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: surgeon demand. Yeah, okay, duh talk about utility delivery service. 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: She said the well that money pays for upgrades and infrastructure, 57 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: as well as routine and emergency maintenance like outages during 58 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: bad weather. But She's quick to point out, in spite 59 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: of the fact your bill's gone through the roof, we 60 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: didn't have any outages, in spite of the shortage of power. 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: Flipping over, Donald Trump is rolling back the climate finding 62 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: that has been a thorn in everybody's site in so 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: far as our electricity bill is concerned. Perhaps the end 64 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: of the religion of climate science is over. Obama era 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: scientific finding that serves as the legal basis for the 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: federal greenhouse gas regulation is going to go the way 67 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: of the DODO. Hmmm, it's the two thousand and nine 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: endangerment finding that'll be reversed that concluded back in two 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: thousand and nine that there are six greenhouse gases which 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: are going to kill they pose a public health and 71 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: welfare threat. That particular finding was the legal basis for 72 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the EPA Climate rules, climate rules that limited emissions from 73 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: power plants and as well as titan fuel economy standards 74 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: from vehicles under the Clean Air Act. Your cafe standards, 75 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: you must get nine thousand miles to the gallon. Well, 76 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: we can't do that. It's an internal combustion end and 77 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: sorry sucks to be you by an electric car. The 78 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: final rule is supposed to be rolled out, removes the 79 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: regulatory requirements. This is going to be an amazing cost 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: savings for literally everybody, you and me. You talk about 81 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: inflation reduction, Here you go requirements require them to measure, report, certify, 82 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: and comply with federal greenhouse gas emission standards. I would 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: interject arbitrary and random they are for motor vehicles. Also 84 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: repeals associated compliance programs, credit provisions, reporting obligations. There you go, 85 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: compliance obligations, regulatory obligations. Heaps down massive costs on all industries, 86 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: and of course, the CAFE standards result in US having 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: to buy a far more expensive car or an EV. Now, 88 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: they do point out that this rollback will not apply 89 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: to oil and gas facilities, meaning that if you've got 90 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: a coal plant, I guess is still going to apply 91 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: to that. But they are suggesting the willingness by the 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: Trump administration to roll back the standards for automobiles and 93 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: other associated products may result in perhaps rolling back some 94 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: regulations on oil and gas facilities. Keep your fingers crossed. 95 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: Trump's been just crowing about fossil fuels being vital to 96 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: our economic and national security. Expanding reliance on them will 97 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: help lower energy prices that it's true. Now, it's kind 98 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: of interesting they say the repealing of the federal findings 99 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: in this rollback might cause some complications with companies that 100 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: have a multinational presence. Lower environmental standards here but higher 101 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: across the pond or wherever these higher standards might exist. 102 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: I don't know how those standards are applied to companies. 103 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Do they measure the carbon dioxide exhalation of a company 104 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: and its entire global operations so that they only footprint 105 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: that in the countries that have these obligations, question Mark. 106 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be an incentive for those companies to repatriate 107 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: their businesses, bring them back here so you're not subject 108 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: to those international standards. We'll see. But the suggestion was 109 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: that the removal of the federal level standards might result 110 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: in states implementing their own regulations. Hmmm, huh, question Mark. 111 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: Let's say Texas doesn't have its own regulations, California does. 112 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: Where would you rather be if you're going to situate 113 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: your business. Just just thinking we've got competition going on 114 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: out here in the world and the other component of this, 115 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: I thought it was an interesting observation from a legal perspective. Now, 116 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: environmental groups are going to challenge this. They're going to 117 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: sue and say you can't roll this back at settled 118 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: science whatever. They'll make their arguments in court and it'll 119 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: be litigation. It'll be years before that's ultimate resolved. But 120 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: the point that was made, I thought this was rather cool. 121 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: The administration could decline to enforce the rules and fines 122 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: during this whole legal process. Ah, there's that prosecutorial discretion element. Yes, 123 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: there are thousands of laws on the book and the 124 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: federal government prioritizes them. For example, they're not out prosecuting 125 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: federal prohibition on marijuana. Why, well, because it isn't a 126 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: priority for the federal government. Is marijuana still Schedule one 127 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: under federal law? And could the feds go after you 128 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: for possessing it? Yes, they could, but no they're not. 129 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: They don't have to ford, they don't have to pursue 130 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: that particular criminal prosecution. So how about the same when 131 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: it goes to environmental standard Let's just not enforce them. 132 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: Let's just project that we are not going to be 133 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: coming out in demanding compliance, and YadA, YadA, YadA. So 134 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: there's that possibility there. Official said, the rollback will equate. 135 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Here's the savings equate to more than 136 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: one trillion dollars in regulation cuts. That's the cost of regulation. 137 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: And for every dollar going into compliance costs, that's another 138 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: dollar of that's not going into the economy or maybe 139 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: in our pockets. They said they were rescinding the finding 140 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: would result in the average per vehicle cost a savings 141 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: of more than twenty four hundred dollars. Oh, look, coming 142 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: to the rescue in terms of dealing with inflation. That'll help. 143 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: Trump said he was going to announce a new executive 144 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: order directing Defense Department to buy coal fired power plant power. 145 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: That's one thing, but he's also apparently going to be 146 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: funding five coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, 147 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: and yes, the Commonwealth of Kentucky. They'll be recommissioning and 148 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: upgrading the facilities new coal plants back online or old 149 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,479 Speaker 1: coal plants put back online. And apparently if they are upgraded, 150 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: they will be complying with the federal Clean Air standards, 151 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 1: which will still apply to oil and gas plants and 152 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: coal plants power plants generally speaking. That they say will 153 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: allow the United States to meet its artificial intelligence goals 154 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: re industrialize and stop a rise in electricity prices. Artificial 155 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: intelligence goals, Well, you and I obviously have a tremendous 156 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: amount of the electricity grid. So there's us, and then 157 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: there's all the business and industry out there, including the 158 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence business and industry. They use massive quantities of power, 159 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: if you haven't gotten the memo, and I saw this 160 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: interesting article from the Phoenix Capital Research talking about the 161 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: amount of power that we're going to need and this 162 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: will result, I think for artificial intelligence. As much as 163 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: you might hate it, and trust me, I've got my 164 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: concerns about it in the future of our lives. Generally 165 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: in a world with artificial intelligence but using a whole 166 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: lot of electricity, and we are going to be dealing 167 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: with it. According to Bloom Energy, this is in the 168 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: Phoenix Cup article Bloom Energy twenty twenty six Data Center 169 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: Power Report. Over fifty percent of new data center campuses 170 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: will exceed five hundred megawatts in energy by twenty thirty five. 171 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: One third will surpass one gigawatt. Now that may not 172 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: mean anything to you, but thanks for the follow up 173 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: sentence to put that in perspective. Each single gigawatt campus 174 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: will power as much electricity as the city of San Francisco. 175 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: So how much energy will AI need? They ask. A 176 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: courtly report from the Ham Institute for American Energy the 177 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: United States will need an additional one thousand tarawatt hours 178 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: of digital demand by the era twenty thirties. And this 179 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: is going back to my point on AI. You may 180 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: hate it, but it will allow you and I to 181 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: have finally nuclear power. To meet this demand, the United 182 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: States will need to build seventy five to one hundred 183 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: gigawatts of energy generating capacity by the twenty thirties. That 184 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: is roughly ten times the amount of energy the city 185 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: of New York consumes during its hottest days of the summer. 186 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: There's your demand. Everybody knows it's coming to. Demand is there, 187 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: and windmills and solar panels are not going to fulfill 188 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: the demand. It's an impossibility. Physics, I do believe comes 189 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: into play here, so analy analysts say, and going back 190 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: to the whole States things. States might want to step 191 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: in and enact their own legislation in the absence of 192 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: federal standards for regulator or regulating emissions, and immediately thought 193 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati. That's like the city going 194 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: its own way and trying to eliminate carbon dioxide from 195 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: the environment, as if the city of Cincinnati lives under 196 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: a glass bubble. So yeah, go ahead and do that. 197 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: You drive your energy prices up, which has happened in 198 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: California with all the shutdowns of the of the refineries. 199 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,479 Speaker 1: You know, the price of gas in California is illustrative 200 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: of the broader problem when you when you you impose 201 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: all these massive regulations forcing these companies to leave the 202 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: state otherwise shut down operations, the price goes up. Energy, 203 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: whether it's gasoline in your car or the electricity that's 204 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: powering your home, goes up. Duh. Why going back to 205 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: the regulatory rollback of the so called greenhouse gas threat? 206 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: Plant food is killing you? Five eighteen Right now fifty 207 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: five KR see de talk station. Feel free to call 208 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: more to come up, more more to talk about coming up. 209 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: I'll be right back, fifty five KRC this five one 210 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, five one three fifty eight hundred two three 211 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: talk pounds five fifty on eighteen and t phone related 212 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: in nothing but since I was talking about artificial intelligence, 213 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: so I guess it is somewhat related Tech Friday a day. 214 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: I have Hatter every Friday year in the fifty five 215 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: Carsery Morning Show. He is a great guy and I 216 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: think he's doing us all a great service and I 217 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: appreciate interest. I t for sponsoring this segment. Learn a lot, 218 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: and we learn about all the pitfalls and problems out 219 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: there in the world. And going with the artificial intelligence. Yeah, 220 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: there maybe some great benefits from it, like, for example, 221 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: we might be able to get abundant inexpenses someday nuclear 222 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: power that works carbon neutral too, by the way, artificial 223 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: intelligence might bring that around because we need to compete 224 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: with the world. You know, the Chinese are out there 225 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: doing AI as well, and we need to maintain a 226 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: competitive advantage, which is of course going to require a 227 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: lot of power. But what are they using AI for? 228 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: And this is the disturbing thing, and Dave Hatter's brought 229 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: this up multiple times. Artificial intelligence deep fake technology is 230 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: becoming so easy that anyone can use it, and mostly 231 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: a lot of fraudsters of course using it now easily deployable. 232 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: It used to require some measure of technical expertise to create, like, 233 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: for example, a video that looks like a real human being. Yeah, 234 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: there was a whole lot of coding or whatever that 235 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: went into it. I'm monobviouce when it comes to this 236 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: kind of thing. But remember what the old videos look like. Yeah, 237 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: well it took up pretty sophisticated program to put that together. Now, 238 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: with AI and chat ept and all these different services, 239 00:13:54,520 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: is becoming very easy to do it. Impersonation for profit. 240 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: Several illustrations, So I'd like the Breitbart article on this 241 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: from Lucas Nolan, but it doesn't matter. These were actually 242 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: widely reported. Western Australian Premier Robert Cook was put in 243 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: a video that he appeared to promote an investment scheme. 244 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: So you know, it'd be like Donald Trump saying, hey, 245 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: here buy this. It was made up. Fabricated videos of 246 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: doctors endorsing skin creams. Be careful what you pay attention 247 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: to on the internet. Maybe that's not a real human being, 248 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: let alone a doctor. Deep fakes of Swedish journalists and 249 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: the president of Cypress that were used for fraud, those happen. 250 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: We got one Singaporean multinational business finance officer paid out 251 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars because he believed he was on 252 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: a legitimate video call with company leadership. A video call, 253 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: he's talking with someone who is fake, and he doesn't 254 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: realize the person he's talking to on the video call 255 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: is is ones and zeros effectively. One MIT researchers said, 256 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: capabilities of suddenly reached the level where fake content can 257 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: be produced by pretty much anybody. Guy Overt Harvard, he's 258 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: a researcher Fred at Hiding talking about this scale. It's 259 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: becoming so cheap almost anyone can use it. Now. The 260 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: models are getting really good. They're becoming much faster than 261 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: most expert things. Faster in the sense that they can 262 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: do real time conversations with you. And that's where we 263 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: pivoted with another one of these weird, weird examples. It 264 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: didn't work out. The fraudster was caught and recognized by 265 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: Jason Rebholt, CEO of an AI security startup. This is 266 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: a guy who's in the business of artificial intelligence. CEO. 267 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: He's got a job open. He's looking for an engineer 268 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: and someone well applied for it. Says, Wow, this looks 269 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: like a pretty smart guy. He's noticed some you know, 270 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: strange components of this process of going back and forth. 271 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: But he did schedule an interview, schedule an interview, and 272 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: he noticed the video feed was you know, there were 273 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: some problems with it, and that's where the red flags 274 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: he previously saw. He realized it was face. He said, 275 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: the background extremely fake. He said it was really struggling 276 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: to deal with a deal around the edges of the individual, 277 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: like parts of his body were coming in and out. 278 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: He said that I'm looking into his face a little 279 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: soft around the edges. So after the interview's over, he 280 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: sent it to some research firm that does know how 281 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: to detect deep fake videos and said, yep, it's sure 282 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: enough was a deep fake. And his point is like, 283 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: if we're getting targeted the AI company, then everybody's getting 284 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: targeted with it. Yeah. Now here's where I'm saying. I 285 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: thought of this and Dave Dave had or confirmed it. 286 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: Code word. I've talked with this with my mom. Code word, 287 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: because they are gotten highly sophisticated with voice cloning, and 288 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: now we're going to have the same thing with video cloning. 289 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, voice cloning now is so good that you 290 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: can hear the voice and you can say Nope, that's 291 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: the guy. I like, Brian Tom. I think I must 292 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: be talking to Brian Thomas, it sounds exactly like him. Nope, 293 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: they're so slick and so good that you will not know. 294 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: So you can interact with them and they can real 295 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: time answer questions. How do you know if you're dealing 296 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: with a real human being or not? As this gets 297 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: even better and better down the road, you better have 298 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: a code word if you have any question in your mind. 299 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: You get a distress call from a family member in 300 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: the middle of the night, Oh my god, I'm in 301 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: an accident. Code word, like my mom called me in 302 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Distressed Mom. What's the code word? 303 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: How would a I know what your private code word 304 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: is within your family? You're right they wouldn't. This researcher, 305 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: warned about long term consequences, said, that'll be the big 306 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: pain point here, the complete lack of trust in digital 307 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: institutions and institutions and material in general. Think about that. 308 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: So good that not that far down the road or 309 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: moment in's time, A moment's time down the road. Any 310 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: phone call you get, they can already clone the phone 311 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: number that you're accustomed to. Oh, that's mom's phone number. 312 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: That must be my mom. Nope, you do by that 313 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: You pick it up and it sounds like your mom 314 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: on the phone. You don't even know if it's your 315 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: mom or not. You got to question everything. And then 316 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: when this rolls over into the video realm, and again 317 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: we're right a moments in time away from them being 318 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: able to create something so real and so interactive with 319 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: your real time that you will not know. You're not 320 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: going to be able to trust anything. That sounds like 321 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible direction for the world. Yeah, a downside 322 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: of artificial intelligence five twenty seven. Feel free to call 323 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: five on three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight 324 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: hundred and eight two three talk. You're right back with 325 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: local stories fifty five KRC thirty one On a Wednesday, 326 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: somebody put on an APD for Tom used to keep 327 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 1: getting his call this time of day. Your calls are 328 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: always welcome. Five one three seven four nine fifty five 329 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: hundred eight hundred two three talk speaking to data centers. 330 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: Oh look, it's continuing theme in the news this morning, 331 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: local stories. Today the councils, since a city council are 332 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: going to be voting on creation of a three month 333 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: what they call interim overlay district, described as applying to 334 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: over twenty two thousand parcels of land, including space in 335 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: Queens Gay, Carthage, Oakley and East End. This interim overlay 336 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: district described as forcing companies interested in building or expanding 337 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: existing data centers to go through a new zoning review process. 338 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 1: Since any department of city Planning and Engagement would analyze 339 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: the scope and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood character would 340 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: provide recommendations to the city's Planning Commission, which would then 341 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: judge the project on whether it fits with the public 342 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: interest planning commit you think market forces would anyway. Planning 343 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: Commission also consider things like density scale, impact on traffic, 344 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: air quality, ah power and utilities, as well as water consumption. 345 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: After that, the Planting Commission would give a recommendation to 346 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: the City Council, which would then approve or deny the 347 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: zoning change. Since the overlay district, they say his temporary 348 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: city council could also vote to extend it for even 349 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: longer period of time, they say nine months. According to 350 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: city planner Sophia ferris Row, there aren't any, in her words, 351 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: current threats we are rushing to try and beat. This 352 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: said already that suggests you as a bad attitude about 353 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: these data facilities. I don't know threats and as they're 354 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,719 Speaker 1: reporting is current hocket props to Sidney Franklin over at Enquire. 355 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: There are already twenty data centers in Greater Cincinnati according 356 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: to the Database Data Center Map, not within the city 357 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: limits for the most part, and the ones that are 358 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: within the city limits described as downtown. But they aren't 359 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: those giant facilities, the one hundred acres of land or more. 360 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: So that's you know, I guess effectively, there's probably no 361 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: place to put one of those massive facilities in downtown Cincinnati, 362 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: but they're getting ahead of it. City Council apparently going 363 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: to be voting today to approve the zoning study to 364 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: define data centers in the zoning code so there's less 365 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: confusion about where they can be built. Also, this study 366 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: will do best practices and look at other cities and 367 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: analyze existing sites throughout Cincinnati, and oh my god, Todd's Enzer, 368 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: our citizen watchdog. They will include a public engagement period. 369 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: If Todd shows up, they'll have another opportunity to ignore 370 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: the rational, logical, and reasonable questions posed by Todd Zenzer, 371 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: which he did just the other day. The follow up 372 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: railroad money. This one wasn't widely reported. That's why we 373 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: have Todd. He went to the meeting of the Cincinnti 374 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: Southern Railway Trust Board of Trustees, so he called it 375 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: a good discussion on why the city has not deployed 376 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: the railway money in a timely way. He writes, if 377 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: your call, we began raising the issue of the board 378 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: in their February meeting a year ago, recommending that the 379 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: board established this system where the city would draw down 380 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: the money only when needed instead of the quarterly tranches 381 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: it's currently receiving from the trust fund. They're supposed to 382 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: have shovel ready projects like RFPs are out. We know 383 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: what the proposal says. We got guys waiting in the 384 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: wings for money so they can start doing the project. 385 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: That's not what's going on right now. They get the 386 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: quarterly draw down from the trust fund, and what are 387 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: they doing. They're putting the money in the general Investment Fund, 388 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: Todd writ is. A handout provided by the city at 389 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: the meeting with the Railway Trust Fund. Meeting shows the 390 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: city has only spent twelve percent of the railway funds 391 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: that they got. So the situation is more than likely 392 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: to continue for the next few years. Meanwhile, the city 393 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: is depositing the other eight eighty eight percent of the 394 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: railway money into the General Fund investment account, which has 395 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: a balance of its own about one point six billion dollars. 396 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: That money is then generating interest into the general fund, 397 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: which again I would argue, freeze it up from the 398 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: obligation to spend those funds on pre existing projects, existing infrastructure. 399 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: It went into the general fund, the big black hole 400 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: General Fund. Now it's generating interest, he said. As I 401 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: mentioned to the board this afternoon, the railroad was not 402 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: sold in order to generate investment income for the city's 403 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: general fund. It was sold to fix our roads and 404 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 1: decaying infrastructure. Obviously, the city put very little thought or 405 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: preparation into how they were going to actually get all 406 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: that money deployed once the conveyor belt of railway funding 407 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: began moving. Yay, Todd's inzer. There's going to be a 408 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: legal action on that at some point. I imagine five 409 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: point thirty five right now, fifty five KRCD talk station stack, 410 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: Oh stupid, come in up and share facts, love, share facts, 411 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: credit Union, merge with Emory a little on five cars 412 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: the talk station. 413 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 3: Don't vote Democrat there he is, well. 414 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: At least you have a SoundBite of him. Joe, he 415 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: used put out some artificial intelligence and just do a 416 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: whole phone call with Tom. Would his whole cloth create it? 417 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: That's right. We are guaranteed human here on the fifty 418 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: five kr Se Morns show, although I guess artificial intelligence 419 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: caller could call in certainly distinct possibility five one three 420 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: seven for fifty five hund eight hundred eight two three 421 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: taco with pound five fifty on eight and T funds 422 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: making it into the stack of stupid. I'll do my 423 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: best to be delicate about this when give an FCC obligations. 424 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: Although not it's not graphic or anything. It's just absolutely 425 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: ridiculous and unbelievable. Now, I will start by pointing out 426 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: this is on video. This isn't just one student saying 427 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: something and not have anything to back it up. Now, 428 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: if I say that, recognizing all the points I just 429 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: made this morning about artificial intelligence video, and we won't 430 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: be able to believe our own eyes. But I think 431 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: given all the witnesses that were there at this wrestling match, 432 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: plus the video, we can sure that we can be 433 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: sure that the video is real. We have a female 434 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: high school. A real female high school wrestler has accused 435 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: a transgender opponent of trying to push his fingers into her. 436 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: I just say, ho ha? Is that okay Joe into her? 437 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 4: Hoo ha? 438 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: During a wrestling match in Washington State sixteen years old. 439 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: She is Kaylee Keeler, sophomore at Rogers High School, said 440 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: the assault a currnder in his sumber six girls wrestling 441 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: match against Emerald Ridge High School. Teen said She's on 442 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: the matt, face down. Her opponent, who is a male 443 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: who identifies as female, was on top of her. She 444 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: says her opponent put his hands between her legs and 445 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: then began trying to push his fingers into her, who 446 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: hop said, nothing like this has ever happened to me. 447 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: He had been wrestling. I didn't even know it was 448 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: a guy, she said, unaware that he was really a 449 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: biological boy that was claiming to be a girl. She said, 450 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: I really don't know what to think of it. It's 451 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: a women's wrestling team, so I wasn't really thinking about that. Like, 452 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: I had no idea I'd be wrestling against the guy. 453 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: Told her coach about it, said it made her uncomfortable. 454 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: Coach promised to look into it. Several days later, her 455 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: parents called the office of the high school. Her mom said, 456 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: this is a huge issue in something that's one hundred 457 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: percent not okay. The fact that this was done by 458 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: a biological male who identifies as a female as an 459 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: even bigger issue for me. Where do we go from here? 460 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: Good question. The wrestling coach at Rogers High School said, 461 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, I mos certainly would not put Kaylee on 462 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: the mat if I thought that she was competing with 463 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: a male. I will investigate this and looking to see 464 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: if we have a video on our end you do, 465 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: I will touch basically you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. 466 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,239 Speaker 1: I'll do my due diligence, you know what. Probably not 467 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: going anywhere. Apparently state law there allows transgender individuals to 468 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: compete whatever category they wish to with no restrictions at all, 469 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: meaning this was not unlawful. School district was asked upon 470 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: follow up because apparently they went silent up until the 471 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: second week of January. This matter is currently under investigation, 472 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: the district said in a statement. As such, this district 473 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: is legally required to protect the privacy of students and 474 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: families and cannot share details regarding an individual, students, or 475 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: specific incidents. You can say is that student safety is 476 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: a top priority in that reports involving student safety are 477 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: taken seriously. Yeah, that's a statement direct from legal nothing 478 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: nothing nothing nothing nothing serious serious areas safety important, serious, serious, 479 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: serious nothing. Pierce County Sheriff's office said they are investigating, 480 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: and investigation has been initiated. Now, as for Emerald High School, 481 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: where the transgender wrestler came from, apparently there are reports 482 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: of girls they have complained about the presence of men 483 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: identifying as females in the girl's locker room. Nothing apparently 484 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: has been done by school officials. I guess you go 485 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: back to that pesky state law which allows guys to 486 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: simply declare their women and then engage in physical sports 487 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: with women, inviting opportunities for this type of perverted behavior 488 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: to happen. HM. Who's in favor of that kind of thing? Yeah, 489 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: we know where the blame lies. Three eight hundred eight, 490 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: two to three Talk the talk station. It's five forty 491 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: nine on a Wednesday, and the happy ones see a 492 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: big picture with Jack than coming up at seven oh 493 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: five before we get to move forward with status stupid. 494 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: I got Tom on the line.

Anybody think the 601 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: Princeton High School walkout students are gonna suffer from some 602 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: like consequences of that? Hey, Joe, remember when you used 603 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: to walk out of class lover Lasal. Oh, yeah, they 604 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: let you do it all the time. Right, I gotta 605 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: go out and protest. I'm gonna leave early. Get you 606 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: signed walk around out front? Right? Yeah, I'm sure that's 607 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: what your posters said, Joe. Anybody think the Princeton High 608 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: School teachers had something to do with the protest? Just 609 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: steal on that one for a minute. Anyhow, I'm pretty 610 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: sure if they walked out of school, like maybe to 611 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: support a Turning Point USA event or maybe support some 612 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: conservative cause, that there would probably be some repercussions and 613 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: some downside risk and consequences for that. Anyway, You feel 614 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: free to chime in on that or anything else you'd 615 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: like to love to hear from you if you have something. 616 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: Just FYI, it looks like the government is going to 617 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: shut down. There's some talk about another continuing resolution kick 618 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: the can down the road for maybe a few more weeks. 619 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: They say they need more time to negotiate. Many were 620 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 1: suggesting that the original Continuing Resolution on DHS funding wasn't 621 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: long enough to do the negotiations. Democrats are holding fast 622 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: on their list of demands, and of course Republicans are saying, no, 623 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: we can't concede it most of these demands, although they 624 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: have no problem with some of them, like body cameras 625 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 1: which have been deployed in moss all over the place. 626 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: Thousands and thousands of the DHS folks now have body cameras. 627 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: But if they conceded all the Democrats demands effectively, ICE 628 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 1: would be shut down. Of course, that will dovetail nicely 629 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: in the Judge Ennenopolitana's column this morning, again looking at 630 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: general warrens versus administrative warrants, or rather general warrants being 631 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: like administrative warrants vice versa. We had problem with that 632 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: with our founding fathers, which is why they require probable cause. 633 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: So we'll see if a judicial warrant obligation is going 634 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: to be put in place, that would be a major 635 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: stumbling block for ices well quick clee doing their job. 636 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 1: It wouldn't stop it from doing its job. It would 637 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: be an impediment anyhow, fraud, We go to John Stossel. 638 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: He's brilliant, does great job op ed piece talking about fraud, 639 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: and I really do believe a lot of this ice activity. Well, 640 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota doesn't want the ice activity to occur because their 641 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: entire economy is built on the welfare recipients that are 642 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: the immigrant population. They get massive, massive infusions of cash. 643 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: The school districts are based on money being allocated per student, 644 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: so they have an incentive to want the kids there 645 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: in the classrooms. That means more money for the school districts. 646 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: Just one point, but all the welfare dollars that come in, 647 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: that serves to create a like a microeconomy. And when 648 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 1: you pull out the illegal immigrants or you otherwise cause 649 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: them to no longer engage in commerce and industry because 650 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: they're afraid to be picked up, well, the foundation for 651 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: your economic model collapses. And that's a lot of what's 652 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: going on out there. But behind that economic model is 653 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 1: the fraud that happens when these programs are rolled out 654 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: that do infuse money into the neighborhood. We go over 655 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: to John Stossel, right just yesterday, he said, Americans want 656 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: to help people in need, but when the government does 657 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: that does that about five hundred billion dollars in taxpayer 658 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: money gets stolen. It's how the system is designed that. 659 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: According to the United Council on Welfare Frauds Andrew mcclennan, 660 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 1: you're measuring success by the amount of money you put out. 661 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: He put it out. But because of that, government agencies 662 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: rarely check whether their handouts go to the right people. 663 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota the latest example. Government officials didn't uncover the fraud 664 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: props to YouTuber Nick Shirley articles back at twenty eighteen 665 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: talking about millions of dollars in suitcases being flown out 666 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,799 Speaker 1: of Minneapolis. But it took a twenty year old with 667 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: an iPhone to go out there and expose it on Twitter. 668 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: After Shirley publicized the fraud, the White House froze billions 669 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: of dollars in welfare payments. Progressive is a little upset 670 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: about that at Representative ilon Omar, complaining what they are 671 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,479 Speaker 1: doing is creating confusion, chaos, trying to intimidate people. There's 672 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: no reason for them to fully stop the funding of 673 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: these programs. The only reason they're doing that is for 674 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: pr purposes. Really, Tim Wall's governor, this is on my watch. 675 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: I am accountable, he said, But he didn't do anything 676 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: about the fraud during the pandemic. Joe Biden said, my 677 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: message to those cheats out there is this, you can't hide. 678 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna find you. Sadly, they didn't. Of the hundreds 679 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars stolen in twenty twenty twenty four 680 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice, barely, he writes, recovered two 681 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: point nine billion. Hundreds of billions they got two point 682 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: nine back. Question, is there something we can do to 683 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: stop the fraud with Klanahan, Sure you can. It takes 684 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: less than a second to verify things with data connections 685 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: these days, but government rarely uses modern data connections. Elon Musk, 686 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,760 Speaker 1: when he ran Doge, complained that government records were not computerized. 687 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: Many agencies doled money out without even saying what the 688 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: money was for or even where it went. Must call 689 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: the government record keeping a time warp. Mcclinahan said, you know, 690 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,760 Speaker 1: the relying on rules and regulations written for pen and paper, 691 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: which you look at. A poor record keeping makes fraud easier, 692 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: and some people openly brag about it. During Trump's first term. 693 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: A rapper wrote a song about stealing benefits that Trump 694 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: rushed out for pandemic era relief. Quote. I got a 695 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: shout out to Donald Trump. I just might swipe me 696 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: a lump sum that was in California. There's a lot 697 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: of fraud there. The state gave phone subsidies to ninety 698 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: four thousand accounts of dead people. Clanahan said, everybody knows 699 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: that the United States is the easiest game in town. 700 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: Some stolen funds go to alleged terrorists. He said, we 701 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: literally rang the dinner bell for the whole world, and 702 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: they answered, these are programs people in other countries are 703 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: not eligible. But if you're not checking to see where 704 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,439 Speaker 1: somebody lives, where they're applying from who they are, you're 705 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: not going to find them, he points out. In addition, 706 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: many state politicians don't try to find fraud. Handouts mostly 707 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: come from the federal government. So local politicians reason that 708 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: people in other states pay, but my taxpayers collect, Why 709 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: make a big effort to stop that. Does that sound 710 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,359 Speaker 1: remarkably like Governor Mike DeWine. Yeah, the answer is yes. 711 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: Trump recently gave investigators more access to state data, so 712 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: fraud could be better tracked. But some states don't want 713 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: to reveal that data. They openly stand against the data request. 714 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: Tell me that isn't just an like an outright admission. No, 715 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: we want the fraud to continue. And mcclanan points out 716 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: those states are actively suing the government to avoid having 717 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 1: to provide this information. That's nefarious. Whenever comes give Whenever 718 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: government gives handouts, it creates bad incentives. Before the government 719 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: started welfare payments, Americans were steadily lifting themselves out of poverty. 720 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: When welfare checks began, progress continued for several years, but 721 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: then stops stop handouts have taught some people to stay dependent. 722 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: What should be done, According to mcclenahan, he says, verify 723 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: eligibility first. Oh, there's an idea. I've been harping on 724 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: this for a while now. It's easy to start from 725 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: the proposition that you need to start with the idea 726 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: that money might be fraudulently taken. Let's start with well, roadblocks. 727 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: Let's start with verifying eligibility first. That way you prevent 728 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,919 Speaker 1: fraud before the money goes out. No one should get 729 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: benefits without trying to work. You've got to be looking 730 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: for a job, volunteering, or at least getting job training. 731 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: The best welfare program is a job. Yeah, and that's 732 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: why the work requirements should be there. And that's work 733 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: requirements for able bodied adults. I go back to my 734 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: philosophy of life. You know something, I try to raise 735 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: the kids with this philosophy. You at least better damn 736 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: well pay for your own way. And this is not 737 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: to say that someone with a significant disability or other 738 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 1: disability is impossible to pay their own way. Maybe that 739 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: is the case, but those are the people that we 740 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: really want to help. Americans want to help people in need. 741 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: Americans shouldn't be helping people who are not in need, 742 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: those who are capable of working. And the twenty hour 743 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: requirement you job training right there. There are so many 744 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: opportunities in the trades right now that you could have 745 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: a career. Someone out there is willing to train you. 746 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 1: You'll put at twenty hours and you might be free 747 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 1: and independent. Some people just don't appreciate the value of work. 748 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 1: Work is, in and of itself, a benefit in life. 749 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: You participate, you earn the right to complain about tax 750 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: For example, I think it causes you to pay a 751 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: little bit closer attention to that kind of thing as well, 752 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: but this idea that there are states out there that 753 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: want to that literally are standing in the way of 754 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: tracking down the fraud, going back to their apparently their 755 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: business model.

So I continue to push that knowing, Hey, I. 810 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: Mean, I guess as I struggle with this because you know, 811 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: I remember the day I decided I was going to 812 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 1: be a lawyer. Were sitting around a dinner table, dinner 813 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: table conversation with my mom and dad, and I was, 814 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, rambling on as I typically do, you know, 815 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: talking and talking and talking and talking, and my mom 816 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 1: just shook her head. Or was my dad you know what, Brian, 817 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: you should be a playwright. And I said no, I 818 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: mean then my dad chimed in and it was one 819 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: of my parents, No, no, no, you should be a lawyer, 820 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: and I thought, hmmm, that's a profession I might field 821 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: to pursue. And so at that moment in time, I 822 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: started pursuing the idea of becoming a lawyer, which I 823 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: ultimately did. I didn't know anything about practicing law, James nothing. 824 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was all about. Brian, you 825 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: make a good lawyer. I'm like, Okay, that's what I 826 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: want to be. And then I became a lawyer. And 827 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, James, not every day was a great 828 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's a very, very, very stressful job. You 829 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 1: gotta deal with a bunch of idiots and jerks, especially 830 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 1: if you're in litigation, which is what I was doing 831 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 1: practicing law in scorched Earth litigation Chicago. A lot of tension, 832 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot of significant money at stake, and that is 833 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 1: looming hanging over your head all the time because you, 834 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 1: as an attorney, are responsible for your client and that 835 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: means you're responsible for the money at issue in the litigation. Stress, massive, 836 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: twelve plus hour days, six days a week. I saw 837 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: that a lot. So did I enjoy it? Not really, James? 838 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 6: Was it? 839 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: Did it work out for me over the long term? Absolutely? 840 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 1: And would I still be practicing law if I wasn't 841 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: offered this opportunity here on the Morning Show and my 842 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: dad retired, Yes I would, but I don't know that 843 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 1: I would have been happier that I was ever really 844 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: truly happy doing it, James. But I dealt with it. 845 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: It put food on the table, It fed my family, 846 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: and you know what, it was a reasonable way to 847 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 1: make a living. So, yeah, happiness, you can hope for that, 848 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: but not everybody can achieve happiness in a job. But 849 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 1: it's still important that you do the job right. 850 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 6: Right, and that was a stepping stone. 851 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:03,839 Speaker 3: To where you are now. 852 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: It indeed was, and I've said it a million times. 853 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 1: If I didn't practice law for sixteen years, there's no 854 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: way I could accomplish what is needed for the Morning Show. 855 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: I got exposed to all types of areas of the law. 856 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: The depositions I took allowed me to have it, you know, 857 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: interchanges with CEOs and even garbage collectors and everybody in between. 858 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, you dealt with a broad swath of humanity. 859 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 1: It helps you understand personality types. It helps you engage 860 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: in questioning and prodding around and poking around the margins 861 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: of people's positions. And ideas. So yeah, I benefited from 862 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: it long term, but it doesn't mean I necessarily would 863 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: have landed in a position where I enjoyed my work. 864 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: How do we find out a job or how do 865 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: we find a job where we are really kind of 866 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: not working? Can you get paid for doing your hobby? 867 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 1: Makes me think of getting an art degree. You love art, 868 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: it is your hobby, You're fascinated by it, it inspires you. 869 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: But can you make a living off of it? Six 870 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: twenty five Right Now fifty five KRCD Talk Station, Feel 871 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: Pretty Time in love hearing from folks doing local stories. 872 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 1: Six point thirty fifty five KRC the talk Station, Happy Wednesday. Well, 873 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: I was just thinking if I had to get something 874 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: that I wanted to do for a living, that I 875 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: think I would have liked. A Welding is always fascinating me. 876 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: Thanks to being a litigation attorney in Chicago, had a 877 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: litigation case involving welding, and I got fascinated with welding. 878 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 1: Talk to welders, learned about how to weld just sort 879 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: of on paper anyway, that man, that's that is a 880 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: hell of a skill and it also can be very lucrative. 881 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: So you get to kind of make things that are 882 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: always going to be there. You can stand and be 883 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: proud over your accomplishments, and I don't know, just I 884 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: think there'll be a wonderful skill to have. And again 885 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 1: you can make fat bank doing that. And apparently there 886 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,439 Speaker 1: is a huge need for welders out in the world. 887 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: So that's just a quick suggestion. Three seven, four nine 888 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 1: fifty eight two three talk local stories. We go over 889 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 1: to Kentucky. My friends in the Commonwealth Kentucky police and 890 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 1: prosecutors are pushing to outlaw glock switches. Hope you know 891 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: what a glock switch is. It converts a glock firearm, 892 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: which is a semi automatic pull the trigger once a 893 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: single bullet fires. If you put a glock switch in it, 894 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: you pull the trigger and it shoots like a machine 895 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: gun at a pretty high rate too. Twelve hundred rounds 896 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,799 Speaker 1: per minute, I believe has been commonly referred but it's 897 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: let me just acknowledge. I think these glock switches are 898 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: stupid as well as impractical. I mean, you'll empty a 899 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 1: magazine in a moment's time and it's going to jump 900 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: all over the place and spray. To maintain some efficient 901 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: accurate firing. These are not the thing to have, but whatever. 902 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: Jason EMBs LOUIV, a Republican who introduced this bill, House 903 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: Bill two ninety nine, you said, they're very cheap, they're 904 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: very easy to get, and they're very deadly. You can 905 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: actually make them with a three D printer. And federal 906 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: law already bans these device. They are illegal under federal law, 907 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: but local officials apparently find it difficult to enforce federal 908 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: law because states have their laws, Feds have their laws. 909 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: You're going to rely on the Justice Department to go 910 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: after a lone guy with a glock switch. Probably not 911 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: going to happen. Meims said, we're not making anything illegal 912 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 1: that's currently legal. It's already illegal to have this. But 913 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: we're doing is making a state law. We're enabling local 914 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: law enforcement, local prosecutors go after this and get these 915 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: off our streets. They are very deadly. Spike Jones, Kentucky 916 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: County Police Chief or Kenton County Police Chief rather is 917 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: behind this. He's the one that mentioned the twelve in 918 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: a round figure. Twelve in a rounds permitted indiscriminate fire. 919 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 1: Amen to that brother fully automatic fire. This poses a 920 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: huge risk of the public, quadrupling the amount of return 921 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: fire that our officers may be capable of returning in 922 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 1: an ambush. We need to eliminate that putting the public 923 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:47,399 Speaker 1: at risk. 924 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 3: It is. 925 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 1: So dramatic increase in these according to Sheriff Jones, not 926 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,879 Speaker 1: only other states, but also locally. Apparently possession the bill 927 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: will make possession of the conversion device is a class 928 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 1: fell on the under Kentucky law. Now, in so far 929 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: as the NRA is concerned neutrality, yeah, they're neutral in 930 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: the position Glock sent a letter in support of the law. 931 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: So they say the bills expected you had to get 932 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 1: a committee hearing date soon. So I'm not a fan 933 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: of them. I think they're stupid, although I am a 934 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 1: Second Amendment fan. Let's see, got Steve on the phone. 935 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: Hey Steve, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you. 936 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 7: Happy Wednesday. Did you say Spike Jones. That's that's an 937 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 7: interesting name. That Wasn't that like a comedic character from 938 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,879 Speaker 7: years like the nineteen fifties or something. Maybe Okay, yeah, 939 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 7: you know it's whatever. That's whenever you say Dusty Rhodes. 940 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 7: Because I grew up in Miami, Florida, there was a 941 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,200 Speaker 7: professional wrestler. When I was a kid, that was Dusty Rhodes. 942 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 7: So I was saying, you know, I don't know, it 943 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 7: just seems like some of these names keep popping up. Hey, 944 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 7: not what I called about, though, But Mississippi James was 945 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 7: talking about work. And I've shared this with you before. 946 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 7: I'm about to turn sixty four. I did retire at 947 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 7: sixty two with no intention of stopping working. I just 948 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 7: wanted to get away from a pressure job. And do 949 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 7: I still want it to work. And you know why 950 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 7: I want to work because I look at work as 951 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 7: a blessing. It's not a curse, it's a blessing. But 952 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 7: I work three days a week. One of my things 953 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 7: I enjoy is AM talk radio. So I got a 954 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 7: job where I ride around from like five thirty in 955 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 7: the morning to about two thirty in the afternoon, and 956 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,879 Speaker 7: I make deliveries. I listen to the radio. They pay 957 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 7: me to listen to the radio all day. 958 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: That's great, And I guess you'd probably like to drive too. 959 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 7: It helps if well, you know, believe it or not. 960 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 7: There is a little bit of skill involved in driving, 961 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,080 Speaker 7: of course, there is. You're not only controlling your vehicle, 962 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 7: you're watching out for all the ya who's around you. 963 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 1: That's why I love love to drive and ride my motorcycle. 964 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 1: It is a chess game out there that gets more 965 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,399 Speaker 1: and more difficult each and every day, and I get 966 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,439 Speaker 1: a thrill out of that. It keeps you on your toes. 967 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 1: If you're paying attention to the road, which I do. 968 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,399 Speaker 5: You tick him out? 969 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, you can see him coming up behind you real fast, 970 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 7: yea to kill me? Well yeah, you know, Thank thank goodness, 971 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 7: that hasn't. Yeah, well, but it would have been nice 972 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 7: if he passed you and left you alone in that. 973 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 6: For whatever reason. 974 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 3: He's zero. 975 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 7: You must have done something to make him mad. 976 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 1: Nope, did not. 977 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 2: Whatever. 978 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 7: Well, it's a good thing somebody like you was his 979 00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 7: target because you knew what to do. So that that's 980 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 7: there's a blessing right here. But I mean, there are 981 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 7: people I grew up with that couldn't wait to stop working, 982 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 7: and I'm like, what do you do all day? I mean, 983 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 7: you know, and I do have some hobbies, maybe not 984 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 7: as many as I should have. I really enjoy my 985 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 7: off days, more so in the springtime and summertime. But 986 00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,399 Speaker 7: I enjoyed them because I don't have off days. Seven 987 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 7: days a week, you know, So I it's like it's 988 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 7: a counter balance. So the work is a blessing. The 989 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,439 Speaker 7: off days are great, but it's because you know, you work, 990 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 7: you're off whatever.

Last week out here in Anderson 1112 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 4: Township nearby community, the Forest Here School District also supported, 1113 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 4: and they were out protesting. I got another safe wager 1114 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 4: for you and Joe that something tells me that either 1115 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 4: in May or November, some of these same schools could 1116 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 4: be coming back to looking for a tax levy. Instead 1117 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 4: of just your basic vote no on the school levey. 1118 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 4: I would like a split screen of these students protesting 1119 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 4: during school hours, and on the other side, maybe the math, 1120 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 4: science and reading scores for that school district, and maybe 1121 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 4: at the top says do you want more of your 1122 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 4: money to go for this? 1123 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1124 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,720 Speaker 1: Well, every time they're out, every moment they're out protesting, 1125 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 1: they're not learning, that's for sure. And I keep reading accounts, 1126 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: so you know lost time in the classroom translates to 1127 01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,240 Speaker 1: lower learning skills. That's a problem. And I guess I'm 1128 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 1: also curious to know, Mike, if the teachers encourage to 1129 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 1: walk out, if there's going to be any repercussions for 1130 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: kids you just walk out of school, did they have piss? 1131 01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 3: I can do this on video. 1132 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:57,400 Speaker 4: Yesterday the teachers were out a watching the students protest, 1133 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 4: quote unquote by the reporter saying that two ortect the students. 1134 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 4: So yes, the students the teachers weren't supported this now, granted, 1135 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 4: And I would like to think, and I do think 1136 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 4: that this is the minority, because I know my alma mater, 1137 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 4: Elder High School, if I took off the last hour 1138 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 4: to protest, they would say, Mike, keep walking, You're the 1139 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:17,600 Speaker 4: suspended or expelled. 1140 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 1: Well that's what I asked, because I know that's never 1141 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 1: gonna happen. But you know, I guess I'm old enough 1142 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: to remember a time when that exactly the truth, exactly 1143 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 1: the case. And fast forward to today. If I'm sitting 1144 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: in a class and I just get up and walk 1145 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 1: out an hour before school's out, is there going to 1146 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: be am I going to be accountable? Is there going 1147 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 1: to be am I gonna have to go to the 1148 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 1: principal's office? Am I gonna be suspended? Are there going 1149 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 1: to be any repercussions like Saturday school or something? I 1150 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 1: don't know. I would like to think so so is 1151 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 1: what's the difference one person standing up but is literally 1152 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: walking out without permission or entire classes full of people, 1153 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: hundreds of students standing up and walking out without permission. 1154 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 1: Seems to me the same thing that she could share 1155 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 1: should carry the same penalty, Mike, no. 1156 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 4: More better example that that is obviously a school sponsored 1157 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,080 Speaker 4: event because and and rightly so, when I go pick 1158 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 4: up my grandkids from school for whatever reason, the security 1159 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 4: that I have to go to, I have to be 1160 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,439 Speaker 4: on the list. I have to show my idea, which 1161 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 4: I have no problem with doing. So if I got 1162 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 4: to do that to get them out of school early, 1163 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 4: obviously these are school sponsored events. 1164 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Well, and I'd like to think the parents one should 1165 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 1: step up and say something about that, unless, of course 1166 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 1: the parents are all woke and anti ice folks. I 1167 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: just don't know, but turning our students into useful idiots 1168 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 1: and ponds in the game of life. This should be 1169 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 1: used in school as a civics exercise to talk about 1170 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 1: the separation of powers, the federal supremacy clause, the idea 1171 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 1: that there are federal laws that are being enforced and 1172 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: if you don't like that, you need to use representative 1173 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 1: form of government to change the laws rather than walk 1174 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 1: out of class. 1175 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 4: Well, famous man once said, you don't let the inmates 1176 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 4: run the asylum. 1177 01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're way way past that. And going back there 1178 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 1: the Krushchev's comment we will destroy you from within. 1179 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 6: Absolutely, yep. 1180 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 1: Look at Minnesota and fraud, look at fraud. Generally speaking, 1181 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 1: Look at all the NGOs that are being funded left 1182 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 1: wing propaganda mills and organizations they are with your tax 1183 01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 1: payer money. This isn't a message you embrace. It's a 1184 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 1: message the left embrace, which is one of undermining the 1185 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 1: United States of America and everything that makes it great. Yeah, 1186 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 1: that's where we are. And that's not only our elected officials. 1187 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: Those are people within institutions destroying us from within with 1188 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:36,919 Speaker 1: this leftist socialist slash Marxist ideology steeped into everything. Maybe 1189 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 1: he was onto something. Maybe someone is onto something, Jack, Adam, 1190 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 1: and certainly onto something. I appreciate the call, Mike, you 1191 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 1: have a fantastic day, and appreciate your service to our country. 1192 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:49,160 Speaker 1: Big picture with Jack aban Atherton, our Valentine, Martha Washington. 1193 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: That's the subject matter of Jack's conversation.

Actually, though, 1211 01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 10: throughout history, it's not always the men who've gone the 1212 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 10: extra mile. Today's seventeen seventy six vignette leading up to 1213 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 10: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country's founding 1214 01:05:55,560 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 10: honors America's very first and perhaps most romantic first lady. 1215 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 10: Not Jackie Kennedy, not even Millennia. I'm talking about Martha Washington. 1216 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 10: Missus Washington went thousands of extra miles to comfort the 1217 01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 10: general and his troops during the darkest hours of the 1218 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 10: Revolutionary War. It didn't start out so romantic for George 1219 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:24,560 Speaker 10: Martha's first husband. Yes, she had a first husband, Daniel 1220 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:28,280 Speaker 10: Custis took her to live. Would you believe Brian in 1221 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 10: the White House, Yet Virginia Plantation was called. Daniel was 1222 01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 10: twenty years older and much taller than Martha, but then 1223 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 10: almost everybody was barely hitting five feet. She was still 1224 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 10: described as strong willed, yet lively and full of fun. 1225 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 10: And forget the grandmotherly portraits. This young bride was adorable, 1226 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 10: go look it up. Sadly, she was soon a young widow. 1227 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 10: Mister Custis died when Martha was twenty six. She had 1228 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 10: already born four children, only one of whom lived into 1229 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 10: her twenties. In fact, Brian just sixty percent of children 1230 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,040 Speaker 10: in colonial times reached the age of twenty. When Martha 1231 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 10: remarried in seventeen fifty nine, George Washington was twenty six. 1232 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,640 Speaker 10: As well as a colonel of the Virginia Militia. In 1233 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 10: the French and Indian War, George had won a reputation 1234 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,480 Speaker 10: for fearlessness that stretched all the way to Great Britain. 1235 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 10: Yet as a colonial, the Crown refused to give him 1236 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:34,280 Speaker 10: a commission in the British Army. Had those haughty dopes 1237 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 10: done so George might never have wound up fighting redcoats. Instead, 1238 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 10: the young giant fought for Martha's hand. She had a 1239 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 10: lot going for him. Not the white hair that we 1240 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 10: see from the dollar bill, young George had a full 1241 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,919 Speaker 10: head of reddish brown hair. He was almost six foot three, 1242 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 10: a giant in those days, and still had his teeth. 1243 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 1: I was going to say something later on. 1244 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 10: He gottii that were made of hippopotamuses. We're going to 1245 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 10: be talking about hippos in a moment. As a wealthy widow, 1246 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,360 Speaker 10: Martha did not need to marry. This really seems to 1247 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:15,280 Speaker 10: have been a love batch. What made George is so special? Well, 1248 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 10: he must have been because George became guardian of her children, 1249 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 10: and after refusing to sign a widow's contract protecting her property, 1250 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 10: Martha gave George control over her land, her money, and 1251 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,080 Speaker 10: eighty four slaves in his own right. George had inherited 1252 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,680 Speaker 10: Mount Vernon from his half brother Lawrence. His plan was 1253 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 10: to scientifically farm more than sixty crops, and George did 1254 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,200 Speaker 10: that very successfully. All the evidence shows he loved Martha's kids, 1255 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,440 Speaker 10: as well as her niece and nephew and later the grandchildren. 1256 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 10: They adopted. Their marriage lasted forty years until his death, 1257 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 10: But as a later fighter, the Great Mike Tyson observed, 1258 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,639 Speaker 10: everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. 1259 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,920 Speaker 10: The punch for George Washington came with the Revolutionary War. 1260 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 10: In seventeen seventy five, the Continental Congress made him Commander 1261 01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 10: in chief of its new army. Could Washington have fought 1262 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,680 Speaker 10: on without Martha? I don't mean without her support, I 1263 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 10: mean having her at his side. George did not return 1264 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 10: to his beloved Mount Vernon for almost seven years. Every 1265 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 10: single year of the war, during the bitter winter months 1266 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,759 Speaker 10: when it was too cold to fight, Martha Washington traveled 1267 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,719 Speaker 10: by coach from Virginia to wherever the general was encamped. 1268 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 10: The first trip wasn't so bad. Martha gave parties in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1269 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 10: although George, who loved to dance and play cards, he 1270 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,720 Speaker 10: worried about offending the Puritans up there. Then came the 1271 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,760 Speaker 10: real punch, in the kisser encampments like Jockey Hollow near 1272 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 10: my hometown of Marristown, New Jersey, and Valley Forge. While 1273 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 10: the General prayed kneeling in the snow, his wife got 1274 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:04,800 Speaker 10: a small pox vaccination and cared for his starving, shoeless soldiers. 1275 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 10: They loved the woman they called Lady Washington, as he 1276 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,559 Speaker 10: can tell by now I do too. After the British surrender, 1277 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,680 Speaker 10: George Washington went on to lead the Constitutional Convention that 1278 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 10: gave America a limited government dedicated to protecting God given 1279 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,599 Speaker 10: individual rights. Then, when he really wanted to go back 1280 01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,400 Speaker 10: to farming, Washington was unanimously chosen to be our first president. 1281 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 10: George and Martha went on to set the template for 1282 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 10: all future presidents and first ladies. Brian, I would leave 1283 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 10: everyone with two suggestions. Visit Mount Vernon. It's beautiful and 1284 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 10: more modest than you'd think. But then so were the Washingtons. Also, 1285 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 10: read to your kids and grandkids a hilarious little book 1286 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 10: called George and Martha Rise and Shine. In this book, 1287 01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,760 Speaker 10: George and Martha are two hippos, and a way to 1288 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,160 Speaker 10: start telling their real story. There were two hippos who 1289 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 10: truly loved each other, just as George and Martha did. 1290 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 10: Happy Valentine's everyone, and God bless America. Men, Bay Casanova. 1291 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,680 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what I That's the day I 1292 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:20,240 Speaker 1: got engaged thirty four years ago.

She wasn't interested Jack, so we 1295 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: ended up getting to carry out thy food, sat in 1296 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,760 Speaker 1: the living room and the kid in the on the 1297 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 1: floor ate ty food. And that's when I popped the questions. 1298 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 1: She said yes, And I always say, you know that 1299 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 1: they're behind. Every man is a great woman. And you know, 1300 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,680 Speaker 1: the best thing you can possibly do as a man 1301 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,719 Speaker 1: when you're looking for a spout is find someone who's 1302 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,679 Speaker 1: smarter than you out kick your coverage, which is obviously 1303 01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 1: what George Washington did. 1304 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 10: I mean, she would say, by the way, that you've 1305 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 10: been eating tie takeout ever since, but I know how 1306 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:50,320 Speaker 10: well paul At cooks. 1307 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, she is quite the cook. But you know, it's 1308 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,560 Speaker 1: it just illustrating the value of the importance of a 1309 01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 1: strong marriage and how much that can help you get 1310 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: through the tough times, get through the great times.

I mean, 1313 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: there are so many benefits to marriage. And then needs 1314 01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,560 Speaker 1: move over to the financial realities of being married and 1315 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 1: how much easier it is to have two people working together, 1316 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, sharing expenses and sharing you know, chores and 1317 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,479 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So, you know, tough times, great times, 1318 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 1: it is the best possible place to be. 1319 01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 10: You know, Brian, that Amesley is the miracle of my life. 1320 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 10: I ever would have gotten into this business after leaving 1321 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 10: law if it hadn't been for her. And of course 1322 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,560 Speaker 10: she's the best mother in the world, along with Paulette. 1323 01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 10: As for first Ladies, in case anybody's wondering, Martha Washington 1324 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,360 Speaker 10: did not adopt any causes as first Lady other than 1325 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:45,759 Speaker 10: caring for her family, welcoming dignitaries, and preserving her husband's papers. 1326 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 10: First lady causes came later on. I remember as a 1327 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 10: kid Lady Bird Johnson beautifying highways and then you know, 1328 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:58,680 Speaker 10: jumping ahead Michelle Obama, among other things, fighting childhood obesity 1329 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,600 Speaker 10: and now Malania Trump. As you can see in her documentary, 1330 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 10: I hope everybody goes to see that, focusing on other 1331 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:09,840 Speaker 10: children's issues, including cyber bullying. What I hope we do 1332 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 10: not see again, Brian, is first ladies or gentlemen running 1333 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 10: the government the way Edith Wilson did when Woodrow had 1334 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:22,439 Speaker 10: his ohh, and the way doctor Jill Biden did sitting 1335 01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 10: in at cabinet meetings and who knows what else for 1336 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,440 Speaker 10: reasons obvious to everybody except Democrats. 1337 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,519 Speaker 1: Isn't that the truth?

Coming up VA 1347 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: Access Act with Adam Miller from the Concerned Veterans of 1348 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,439 Speaker 1: America looking at for my veteran friends out there, and 1349 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,519 Speaker 1: that'll be in the next segment. But between now and then, 1350 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 1: if phone calls me, nice five to three, seven four 1351 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,920 Speaker 1: nine fifty eight hundred eight two three talk. But thinking 1352 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,599 Speaker 1: of Maureen and the voting challenges we had in Georgia, 1353 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:20,560 Speaker 1: most notably, yeah, the Fulton County election, which starting to 1354 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 1: solidify here in terms of what they're finding. Now I 1355 01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 1: found out the FBI agents executed a search warrant Union County, Georgia, 1356 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,720 Speaker 1: and the search warrant has just been released. And this 1357 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 1: is where the rubber may meet the road. Affidavid, filed 1358 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,639 Speaker 1: by FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans, filed last month, 1359 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 1: just unsealed yesterday, laying out five categories of confirmed problems 1360 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 1: in Fulton County's handling of ballots, which concerns have been 1361 01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,760 Speaker 1: swirling around for a long time, going all the way 1362 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,800 Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty. Now, all the lawsuits that were 1363 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,840 Speaker 1: filed in connection with voter voting irregularities in the twenty 1364 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: twenty election, most all of them were thrown out because 1365 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 1: of arguments about lack of standing. At pesky standing thing. 1366 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: You have to sort of have a unique harm that 1367 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,559 Speaker 1: befell you or whoever you're representing in order to assert 1368 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 1: standing in a court. If you suffer the same fate 1369 01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,599 Speaker 1: as everybody else, sorry sucks to be you. You can't 1370 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,840 Speaker 1: get a form in a federal court. That's kind of 1371 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: where we were, But that doesn't mean the FBI wasn't 1372 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 1: looking into it. So we got the FBI and the 1373 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:25,719 Speaker 1: warrant that was filed, served, and then produced yesterday. Evans 1374 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,919 Speaker 1: filed the affidavid last month for the purpose of establishing 1375 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: probable cause. Speaking of Judge of Politano's topic for the 1376 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,680 Speaker 1: raid where they seized around seven hundred boxes from the 1377 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,600 Speaker 1: storage warehouse, you may have been reading about that. The 1378 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,560 Speaker 1: investigation stemmed from a referral by Kurt Olsen. Now this 1379 01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:49,800 Speaker 1: is President Trump's election integrities are. He interviewed about a 1380 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,799 Speaker 1: dozen unnamed witnesses about allegations regarding the contest that Georgia 1381 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,840 Speaker 1: race Joe Biden if you recall one by less than 1382 01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 1: twelve thousand votes in the official results. Evans wrote, some 1383 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 1: of those allegations have been disproven, while some of those 1384 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:11,040 Speaker 1: allegations have been substantiated, including through admissions by Fulton County 1385 01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 1: not unnamed witnesses, but the actual Fulton County folks. The 1386 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 1: warrant application is part of FBI criminal investigation to whether 1387 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,360 Speaker 1: any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal 1388 01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:25,599 Speaker 1: criminal laws. It's that intent element to qualify as a crime. 1389 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:32,439 Speaker 1: Fulton County admitted it lacks scan images pardon me of 1390 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 1: all ballots counted during the initial count and lacks scanned 1391 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:43,639 Speaker 1: images from the state's first recount. Officials confirmed that during 1392 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: the recount, some ballots were scanned multiple times, and apparently 1393 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: ballot images obtained through public record requests show that identical 1394 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,839 Speaker 1: markings appear on duplicated images. 1395 01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:56,439 Speaker 11: Hmmm. 1396 01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,719 Speaker 1: Now they did what they call a risk limited limiting 1397 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,160 Speaker 1: audit audit during the period of time they were kind 1398 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 1: of the vote, So this is a risk limiting audit. 1399 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,639 Speaker 1: During that period of time, hand counters reported vote totals 1400 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,879 Speaker 1: for batches that didn't match the actual votes inside the batches. 1401 01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 1: The Affidavid says quote these States Performance Review Board reported 1402 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:21,200 Speaker 1: to the Secretary of State investigators confirm inaccurate batch tallies 1403 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 1: from the risk limiting audit. Auditors looking at the risk 1404 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 1: limiting audit reported counting supposed absentee ballots that had never 1405 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 1: been creased or folded, which would be a necessity for 1406 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,680 Speaker 1: the ballot to be mailed for the voter, and for 1407 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,760 Speaker 1: the ballot to be turned in. The sealed envelope required 1408 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: requiring the voter's signature. So if you have an unfolded 1409 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,560 Speaker 1: ballot that had never been increased or folded, clearly it 1410 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 1: was not mailed in. How can you put an unfolded 1411 01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,720 Speaker 1: ballot into a regular mailing envelope, which should contain the 1412 01:17:53,840 --> 01:18:01,200 Speaker 1: voter's signature for authentication. In other words, you can't on 1413 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:07,320 Speaker 1: the deadline day to report recount results. Fulton County initially 1414 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,720 Speaker 1: claimed a total of five hundred eleven, three hundred and 1415 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 1: forty three ballots, oddly seventeen thousand, four hundred and thirty 1416 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,599 Speaker 1: four fewer than the original count, but by the next 1417 01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 1: day the number was up to five hundred and five 1418 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven thousand and five or nine twenty five, 1419 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,320 Speaker 1: which is thousands of ballots more than Joe Barden Biden's 1420 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: margin to victory, which they say simply appeared overnight. According 1421 01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 1: to Evans, if these deficiencies were the result of an 1422 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: intentional action, it would be a violation of federal law, 1423 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,560 Speaker 1: regardless of whether the failure to retain the records of 1424 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:44,320 Speaker 1: the deprivation of a fair tabulation of a vote was 1425 01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,840 Speaker 1: outcome determinative for any particular election of race. In other words, 1426 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,959 Speaker 1: if you intended to do this, it's a crime, regardless 1427 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 1: of whether it ultimately changed the outcome of the election. Maureen, 1428 01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 1: welcome to the program channeling You this morning. 1429 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 11: Good to hear from you, Hi, Brian, Yes, I think so. 1430 01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 11: But a Fulton County, George is just the tip of 1431 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:05,639 Speaker 11: the iceberg. They're going to go onto Arizona next, probably 1432 01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:10,559 Speaker 11: the same same goal of finding this stuff out. Also, 1433 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:14,600 Speaker 11: Tulca Gabbert sent a team over to Puerto Rico to 1434 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 11: investigate their complicity in what may be a connection to 1435 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 11: Venezuela and the machines and our elections too, So that's 1436 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 11: all going on at the same time. Also, Maui County 1437 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:30,280 Speaker 11: and Hawaii they have nineteen thousand ballots that said they 1438 01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,680 Speaker 11: were mail in ballots. But in the post office you 1439 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,639 Speaker 11: have us to have a photograph of every single thing 1440 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,880 Speaker 11: that goes through the postal service, and they have no 1441 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 11: evidence of that ever coming through the post office. Also 1442 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 11: know they were mail in ballots. 1443 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 1: I did not know that went on at the post office, Maureene. 1444 01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,840 Speaker 1: They actually photographed the mail that comes through. 1445 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,679 Speaker 11: Apparently in Hawaii they do Maui. 1446 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Oh they do it here too, Joe said, Okay, they 1447 01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,720 Speaker 1: learned something new every day on the fifty five Case 1448 01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 1: Morning Show. 1449 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 11: And it was also not have the folds that you 1450 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,160 Speaker 11: would normally have as something we're put in a mail, 1451 01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,600 Speaker 11: So I think it's going to be. It's going to 1452 01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 11: be a lot of places that we're going to be 1453 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 11: hearing about that are a lot like what's going on 1454 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 11: in Georgia. 1455 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,680 Speaker 1: Only took it took six years, Maureen, I know. 1456 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,360 Speaker 11: But timing, timing is everything, and we'll find out why 1457 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:20,479 Speaker 11: the timing was the way it is later anyway. So 1458 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 11: now I want to talk about the Zoro Okay, the 1459 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,800 Speaker 11: powerball call that you guy had your person called in 1460 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 11: a little bit about. Okay, it wasn't It wasn't Epstein specifically, 1461 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 11: but it was tied to a trust called trust. He 1462 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 11: owns a ranch. He owns a ranch called Zoro Ranch, 1463 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 11: which is also in Zoro Trust, So that is who 1464 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,760 Speaker 11: accepted this. And it's a ten thousand acre ranch in 1465 01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 11: the southeast of Santa Fe and it's where they think 1466 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 11: that he was doing genetic testing, transhumanism, cryos cryogenics, and 1467 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,720 Speaker 11: different things like that. And he talked with scientists at 1468 01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,200 Speaker 11: Harvard and MIT, and then he met with them and 1469 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,599 Speaker 11: he talked about and through donations, they met with him 1470 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,360 Speaker 11: because he gave a ton of money to them, and 1471 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:04,639 Speaker 11: he talked to the scientists there about how he wanted 1472 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 11: to impregnanate and pregnate twenty women at a time. He 1473 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 11: wanted to see them with his DNA to start what 1474 01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 11: he called a superior human race. So there's a lot 1475 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,599 Speaker 11: of rumors about Zoro Ranch. You might want to look 1476 01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,639 Speaker 11: into that rumors, but a lot of it experientially, well 1477 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,640 Speaker 11: he is, you know me, Mari scientists about that. 1478 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,920 Speaker 1: I know, I know, but I read, I read a 1479 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,160 Speaker 1: lot that never makes it onto the fifty five Serrey 1480 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:34,600 Speaker 1: Morning Charrosey Morning Show content because you know, sometimes it 1481 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,000 Speaker 1: sounds a little hard to believe. So I'm happy to 1482 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,280 Speaker 1: ultimately wait six years to get the truth that that's 1483 01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:41,519 Speaker 1: how long it takes to get the real truth. I'll 1484 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,960 Speaker 1: wait for the truth, but I'd certainly appreciate you, Maureen. 1485 01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: You've been right more times than wrong over the years, 1486 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:48,320 Speaker 1: which is why I always love having you on the show. 1487 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 1: Love you, my dear. Seven twenty six, don't go away. 1488 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,960 Speaker 1: We'll hear from our power coming up after eighty five 1489 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,799 Speaker 1: Congress from Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Jennita poul Aitana 1490 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I hope you are as well, 1491 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 1: and I've been looking forward all more. Need to talk 1492 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,799 Speaker 1: in with Adam Miller from the Concerned Veterans for America. 1493 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,519 Speaker 1: He's given some praise to Senator John Houston for some 1494 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,640 Speaker 1: work he's doing about improving access to benefits. Welcome to 1495 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,360 Speaker 1: the program, Adam. It's a real pleasure to have you on. 1496 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 12: Hey Brian, good morning. Thank you so much for having 1497 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:15,680 Speaker 12: me real quick for. 1498 01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,680 Speaker 1: You to dive into the rural Veterans Improved Access to 1499 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 1: Benefits Act. Can you remind my listeners about what you 1500 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 1: do at Concern Veterans for America, which my listeners can 1501 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,400 Speaker 1: find online at CV number four a dot org. 1502 01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,920 Speaker 12: Sure, so, Concern Veterans for America. We're an organization of veterans, 1503 01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 12: military families, and just patriotic citizens who are inspired and 1504 01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 12: determined to shape a better American future. So we believe 1505 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,800 Speaker 12: that veterans in their communities are a positive force for 1506 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 12: good and can tackle a lot of the country's most 1507 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,120 Speaker 12: pressing challenges. So we try to amplify the veterans' voices 1508 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,920 Speaker 12: and encourage folks to get involved at the local, state, 1509 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 12: and federal level. 1510 01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 1: Applaud your efforts along those lines too. Anyone can do 1511 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 1: here in the morning, should healthy American veteran We are 1512 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 1: going to do and apparently Senator John Houston, you're praising 1513 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 1: him on the way I saw that for introducing the 1514 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 1: Rural Veterans Improved Access to Benefits Act. This is sort 1515 01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 1: of a corollary to what you had a CDA been 1516 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: pushing for the Veterans Access Act. If I understand this correctly, 1517 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 1: it's sort of a separate piece of legislation. 1518 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's separate. And you know, the legislation that the 1519 01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 12: Senator introduced in the Senate, it deals with veterans benefits, 1520 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 12: as the Veterans' Access Act deals with veterans the Veterans 1521 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,920 Speaker 12: Healthcare Administration. But you know, at the end of the day, 1522 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:34,760 Speaker 12: we believe that veterans deserved timely, reliable access to care 1523 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,000 Speaker 12: and benefits that they've earned, no matter where they live. 1524 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,799 Speaker 12: And that's why we're so thankful for Senator Housted's legislation 1525 01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 12: because it cuts through that bureaucratic red tape, it expands 1526 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,599 Speaker 12: access to qualified providers, and it ensures that our veterans 1527 01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 12: are not left navigating delays or uncertainty. So again, you know, 1528 01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 12: we're just very appreciative of him his commitment to these 1529 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,680 Speaker 12: common sense reforms that at the end of the day, 1530 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 12: put our veterans first. 1531 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,719 Speaker 1: Okay, you know I think about this this phenomenon quite often. 1532 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:04,480 Speaker 1: If you live in a highly dense populated city like Cincinnati, 1533 01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,959 Speaker 1: for example, you're usually close to a lot of services. 1534 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:09,639 Speaker 1: You know, there are a few blocks away, they're within 1535 01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: a short drive or whatever. The VA's right there, it's 1536 01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 1: close by. But you know what of my friends out 1537 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 1: in very rural counties, and I always think of the 1538 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: entire state of West Virginia. It's mostly rural and does 1539 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,879 Speaker 1: not have convenient access to a lot of the services 1540 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,960 Speaker 1: that folks need. So how does this Rural Veterans Improve 1541 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,360 Speaker 1: Access Benefits Act help folks like that out in the 1542 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 1: world get the health care that they need. 1543 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,440 Speaker 12: So this specific bill, it just it allows local providers 1544 01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 12: to provide those those medical examinations that our veterans need 1545 01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:48,679 Speaker 12: to get their benefits. So it is similar to the Veterans' 1546 01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 12: Access Act in the sense that it allows them to 1547 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:52,880 Speaker 12: get care closer to home. 1548 01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 1: So there's currently absentist legislation, there's an impediment to local 1549 01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,679 Speaker 1: providers giving care to the veterans. 1550 01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 12: So when we're talking about benefits, yeah, restriction. 1551 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,800 Speaker 1: How will it work? I guess if it goes through 1552 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,760 Speaker 1: and everything passes, like you want, Adam Miller, how's it 1553 01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 1: going to make care easier? What's it going to change 1554 01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 1: that will give more veterans access to care? 1555 01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 12: So the specific build that the Senator John Houston sponsored 1556 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 12: in the Senate, it expands the types of qualified medical 1557 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,799 Speaker 12: professions who can conduct these specific exams. So, for instance, 1558 01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,680 Speaker 12: there was a veteran from Akron, Ohio that needed an 1559 01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 12: examination and he was sent by the Veterans Benefits Administration 1560 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:40,639 Speaker 12: to Pittsburgh to get that examination. So this will cut 1561 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,919 Speaker 12: down on drive times, it'll cut down on wait times. Ultimately, 1562 01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 12: it'll it'll make sure that our veterans are getting the 1563 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,439 Speaker 12: benefits that they've earned quicker, faster, and then in a 1564 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 12: more reliable way. 1565 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay, so there would be just a broader swath of 1566 01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:58,200 Speaker 1: providers to provide the care. Is that a strange You 1567 01:25:58,200 --> 01:25:59,720 Speaker 1: got to go to Pittsburgh for something that you know, 1568 01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:04,160 Speaker 1: you think you can get locally. So are the qualifications? 1569 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Are the restrictions that are currently in place? Are they 1570 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,559 Speaker 1: designed in some way help the veteran? Like was there 1571 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,040 Speaker 1: concern that only certain people are really truly qualified? I 1572 01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,040 Speaker 1: guess this seems like it's greasing the skids in a 1573 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 1: positive way. But I'm wondering, well, could it be maybe 1574 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 1: not at them. 1575 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 12: No, for this specific legislation, it really came down just 1576 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,719 Speaker 12: to kind of the bureaucratic red tape that the Massive 1577 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 12: Veterans Administration has and then some of the policies that 1578 01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,719 Speaker 12: they implement internally. And that's where organizations like Concerned Veterans 1579 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 12: for America, you know, we advocate for some of these 1580 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 12: common sense policy reforms and then we look to Congress 1581 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,760 Speaker 12: to enact them from from a watchdog perspective and just 1582 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,720 Speaker 12: making sure that we're streamlining the process. And again it 1583 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 12: comes it really comes down to making sure that our 1584 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:53,720 Speaker 12: veterans have had more choices and greater access to these 1585 01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 12: examinations and the medical professionals that can provide them. 1586 01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 1: All Right, well, it sounds like a reasonable idea. Would 1587 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,000 Speaker 1: you like for my listener's got a lot of veterans 1588 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 1: and veteran families in the listening audience, some call to action, 1589 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 1: you we'd like them to pursue Adam Miller from Concerned 1590 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:07,880 Speaker 1: Veterans from America. 1591 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, so this legislation is important, but CBA has long 1592 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,320 Speaker 12: champion for expanding veterans healthcare choice, and that includes strong 1593 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 12: support for the Veterans' Access Act. 1594 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 5: Like you had mentioned, it's a. 1595 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 12: Top priority for CBA. To give a little bit of background, 1596 01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 12: the VA Mission Act gave millions of veterans healthcare choices 1597 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 12: through its community care program, but unfortunately, through VA wait 1598 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:37,000 Speaker 12: time manipulation, faulty scheduling guidance, and improper appointment cancelations, it 1599 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 12: kept way too many veterans from accessing these important choices. 1600 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,759 Speaker 12: So the Veterans' Access Act would codify those community care standards, 1601 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:48,800 Speaker 12: make them law. It's twenty twenty six. It'll create self 1602 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:53,560 Speaker 12: scheduling portals so veterans can can schedule their appointments. They 1603 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,720 Speaker 12: can connect with their care providers right there on an 1604 01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:59,280 Speaker 12: app and then they can get appointment updates, reminders, they 1605 01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 12: can track refer roles and their appeal decisions if their 1606 01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,040 Speaker 12: community care is not accepted. Another big positive aspect of 1607 01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,600 Speaker 12: the Veterans Access Act is full choice pilot programs for 1608 01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:14,879 Speaker 12: mental health and substance abuse. So this will allow veterans 1609 01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,840 Speaker 12: three year pilot program offering them access to outpatient mental 1610 01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,719 Speaker 12: health care substance use treatment through community care without prior 1611 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,400 Speaker 12: VA approval. So these are just some of the some 1612 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,880 Speaker 12: of the key aspects of the Veterans Access Act that 1613 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 12: we're advocating for and we're promoting, and we're just so 1614 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,000 Speaker 12: excited that there's a lot of co sponsors here in 1615 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:35,840 Speaker 12: the great state of Ohio and we're just going to 1616 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 12: try to continue to expand it. 1617 01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,759 Speaker 1: All right, wonderful. I guess I've been led to believe 1618 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,080 Speaker 1: talking to the my friends at the CINCINNIVA that a 1619 01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 1: lot of the things you just mentioned are already provided here. 1620 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 1: Do different VA hospitals have different levels of service, like, 1621 01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,840 Speaker 1: for example, I know they offer mental health services even 1622 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 1: telehealth through the Sincinntiva for my veteran friends. So it 1623 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:55,560 Speaker 1: sounds me like they've already taken a step in that 1624 01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,000 Speaker 1: direction at least here locally. Or do I have that? 1625 01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,760 Speaker 1: Am I misunderstanding that, Adam, that. 1626 01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:05,320 Speaker 12: We've seen a lot of positive changes under the new 1627 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,400 Speaker 12: administration with Secretary Collins at the VA, and you know, 1628 01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:10,360 Speaker 12: I'll be honest, there's there's a lot of frustration out 1629 01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:14,000 Speaker 12: there because veterans upheld their oath. So when we when 1630 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:15,880 Speaker 12: we were set overseas, you know, we carried the weight 1631 01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,800 Speaker 12: of those decisions that are made by Washington when we 1632 01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,880 Speaker 12: return home. So you know, our ultimate goal is to 1633 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,439 Speaker 12: make sure that that our veterans are receiving the care 1634 01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 12: and treatment that they see that best best fits their needs. 1635 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:32,160 Speaker 12: And unfortunately, in a lot of veterans hospitals sometimes that 1636 01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 12: that care is not provided adequately. And and that's fine, 1637 01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,240 Speaker 12: and there's a lot of veterans that that enjoy their 1638 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,040 Speaker 12: VA benefits, but they. 1639 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:42,479 Speaker 1: Should have that choice, definitely, So Veterans Access Act and 1640 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,360 Speaker 1: of course the Rural Veterans Improved Access to Benefits Act, 1641 01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:48,200 Speaker 1: which John Houston is behind.

Congressman Thomas Massey over the top of Dark News, 1666 01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:57,320 Speaker 1: the shame we don't have anything to talk about with 1667 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:01,120 Speaker 1: Congressman Massy already talk about another continuing about Department of 1668 01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 1: Homeland Security funding and Democrats are saying no, they used 1669 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 1: up all their time and they really haven't done any negotiations. 1670 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,560 Speaker 1: It's still holding out for their ten demands and so 1671 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:14,800 Speaker 1: far as ICE procedures are concerned, and the Republicans are 1672 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,839 Speaker 1: still saying, listen, how about no, you're going to completely 1673 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,599 Speaker 1: eviscerate ICE's ability to enforce a federal law. And that's 1674 01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,439 Speaker 1: exactly what they're endeavoring to do. So we'll see what 1675 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,080 Speaker 1: congressrom mess he may say on that one. But first 1676 01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:32,439 Speaker 1: I guess no, nothing to see here. It was all 1677 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the rage to screaming yell about us blowing up narco 1678 01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:39,360 Speaker 1: terrorist boats. We did it again. United States Southern Command 1679 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 1: announced earlier this week another lethal kinetics strike on drug 1680 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:47,280 Speaker 1: vacraft trafficking vessels. Two narco terrorists killed. One of them 1681 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:49,439 Speaker 1: actually survived. They sent the coast guard out to pick 1682 01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:53,559 Speaker 1: him up. So in total, it looks like thirty eight 1683 01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:57,479 Speaker 1: total strikes against drug trafficking vehicles in the Caribbean taking 1684 01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,680 Speaker 1: place since the start of the operation last September, one 1685 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:03,640 Speaker 1: hundred twenty one drug traffickers killed. I'm assuming you take 1686 01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,639 Speaker 1: everybody's word on it, but they are in fact drug traffickers, 1687 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 1: So maybe the guy they picked up out of the 1688 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:09,880 Speaker 1: water can verify that one way or another. And the 1689 01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,280 Speaker 1: other thing. I thought this was rather interesting, and I 1690 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:15,680 Speaker 1: will just defer to James Hickman and his analysis over 1691 01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 1: at schiftsovereign dot Com. I thought this was funny, though 1692 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 1: we're in the middle of this MAHA movement, Robert F. 1693 01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:23,879 Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior and his having some really great success curbing 1694 01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:29,120 Speaker 1: SNAP benefits. Apparently he got eighteen states to band Snap 1695 01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:34,519 Speaker 1: purchases of terrible food, soda, candy, processed snacks, and on 1696 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:39,559 Speaker 1: the wake of that, PepsiCo announced price cuts of fifteen 1697 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,840 Speaker 1: percent up to fifteen percent on Doritos, Lays, Tostitos, and 1698 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 1: other free too lay products. Now, the CEO said he 1699 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,720 Speaker 1: cited low income consumers switching to store brands because well 1700 01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,000 Speaker 1: affordability and if you have seen the price of chips, 1701 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 1: they have gone up through the roof, and we just 1702 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,639 Speaker 1: chose some time ago never to buy him anymore anyway. 1703 01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: SNAP the Supplement of Nutrition Assistance Program one hundred billion 1704 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:07,640 Speaker 1: a year program, forty two million Americans being served by it. 1705 01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 1: USDA's own data says about twenty cents of every SNAP 1706 01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:16,519 Speaker 1: dollar goes to sweetened beverages, candy, salty snacks, and sugar 1707 01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:21,439 Speaker 1: soft drinks, the largest category of SNAP purchases with zero 1708 01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 1: nutritional value and terrible for you because of all the 1709 01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 1: sugar they have in them. So until last week, Freedo 1710 01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:31,280 Speaker 1: lay's Pepsi division three at freeo lay seven point two 1711 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:37,639 Speaker 1: percent of all shopping trips paid for with Snap. Free 1712 01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:42,680 Speaker 1: Do lay seven point two percent. So apparently, at least 1713 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,880 Speaker 1: according to the analysis by James Hickman, when the government 1714 01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:49,040 Speaker 1: stopped subsidizing demand for the products Pepsi well competed, they 1715 01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:51,120 Speaker 1: lowered the price make it a little more palatable for 1716 01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: someone who can't get it paid for on Snap dollars 1717 01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:56,880 Speaker 1: to go ahead and buy the chips anyway. So this 1718 01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:58,400 Speaker 1: is what the free market does. Said, well, this is 1719 01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:02,320 Speaker 1: just one company, one product line, said, you know, one 1720 01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 1: government program said, zoom out. You can see just how 1721 01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,400 Speaker 1: much price inflation our daily lives is because of direct 1722 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: government spending. When a guaranteed buyer shows up with a 1723 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:16,160 Speaker 1: bottomless wallid, prices go up. He cited the Higher Education 1724 01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,639 Speaker 1: Act from nineteen sixty five. Tuition has risen roughly three 1725 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:24,520 Speaker 1: times faster than inflation. A year at a private university 1726 01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:29,160 Speaker 1: that costs twenty eight hundred dollars in nineteen sixty three 1727 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:33,840 Speaker 1: is now eighty five thousand dollars. New York Federal Reserve 1728 01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:36,880 Speaker 1: studied this directly found that for every dollar increase in 1729 01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 1: subsidized student loans, tuition rose by up to sixty cents. 1730 01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:44,320 Speaker 1: So he points out that when government guarantees the tuition money, 1731 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:49,639 Speaker 1: universities raise prices because they can. Healthcare's described as worse 1732 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:54,280 Speaker 1: Medicare Medicaid created in nineteen sixty five, back when governments 1733 01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,080 Speaker 1: share of healthcare spending was thirty one percent. Today government 1734 01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:00,280 Speaker 1: shared now sixty four percent. Medicaid spending a loan grown 1735 01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:04,839 Speaker 1: from thirteen billion and seventy five to nine hundred billion 1736 01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,720 Speaker 1: dollars today, At the same time, healthcare prices have gone 1737 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:11,559 Speaker 1: through the roof over the same period. US now spends 1738 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 1: nearly five trillion a year on healthcare, far more per 1739 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:19,000 Speaker 1: capita than any other developed country. Federal spending has risen 1740 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,840 Speaker 1: about eighteen percent of GDP in nineteen nineties to twenty 1741 01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:25,120 Speaker 1: four percent today, meaning almost This is the scary thing. 1742 01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:31,120 Speaker 1: Almost a quarter of the entire American economy is government money. 1743 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:40,720 Speaker 1: And I've mentioned this before, I've couched it in terms 1744 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:43,800 Speaker 1: of mister Smith goes to Washington. You got all these 1745 01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:46,559 Speaker 1: wide eyed optimists that get elected. I'm gonna reform, I'm 1746 01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: gonna reform, I'm gonna go to Washington, and I'm gonna 1747 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:50,479 Speaker 1: form I'm gonna crack down a fraud, waste and abuse. 1748 01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:51,560 Speaker 1: And then you go up there and I have this 1749 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,600 Speaker 1: image they take in the back of a room and 1750 01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,439 Speaker 1: they close the door and then they reveal the truth 1751 01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:04,200 Speaker 1: to you and they laugh. Haha, you're so naive. We 1752 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:09,040 Speaker 1: are creating fake work here in government. If we didn't 1753 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:12,679 Speaker 1: mandate and edict and regulate the living hell out of everybody, 1754 01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:16,759 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have an entire workforce dedicated to yes, complying 1755 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,760 Speaker 1: with the regulations, the edicts and mandates from federal government. Hell, 1756 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:23,640 Speaker 1: we created entire industries based upon rules and regulations. The 1757 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:27,160 Speaker 1: Green Agenda, for example, it didn't exist one minute we 1758 01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:29,519 Speaker 1: convinced everybody that they were killing the planet by breathing. 1759 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 1: The next minute, we've got cottage industries created whole cloth 1760 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,759 Speaker 1: out of regulations brought to you by the federal government, 1761 01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 1: regulations that ultimately, in the final analysis, are pointless. I'm 1762 01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:44,559 Speaker 1: not going to say the globe entire industries have been 1763 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,480 Speaker 1: built around NGOs. We learned this from Minnesota. 1764 01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:48,000 Speaker 5: Hmmm. 1765 01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 1: Fund an NGO. You have funded all of the people 1766 01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,519 Speaker 1: who work for the NGO, and then money goes out 1767 01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,960 Speaker 1: through the NGO into the world, and yes that money 1768 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:03,719 Speaker 1: is ultimately spent local communities built on welfare money. Again, 1769 01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:08,000 Speaker 1: going back to Minnesota, it's the sad reality of this, 1770 01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:12,799 Speaker 1: but this manipulation where you guarantee a purchaser because federal 1771 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,479 Speaker 1: dollars are flowing to your work, your taxpayer dollars going 1772 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:17,639 Speaker 1: to an individual who we didn't otherwise have the money. 1773 01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:20,680 Speaker 1: They've got the money. Yes, someone will be there to 1774 01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:23,680 Speaker 1: take the money from them, with zero incentive to keep 1775 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:28,920 Speaker 1: the prices down none whatsoever. But in the broad analysis, 1776 01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad that they're cutting back on well us paying 1777 01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 1: for garbage that has zero nutritional value, and maybe we 1778 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 1: can turn the bent on a health crisis we've got 1779 01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 1: here going on in America.

Your 1796 01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,200 Speaker 1: situation went down to the Oldham kind of Republican Party 1797 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:31,559 Speaker 1: Lincoln Day dinner where you had your microphone taken away. 1798 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,479 Speaker 1: Congresson Massei, my understanding is you're merely trying to defend 1799 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:37,639 Speaker 1: your wife against an outright fake attack by Donald Trump. 1800 01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:39,120 Speaker 1: What is this all about, sir? 1801 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,920 Speaker 5: Well, when they snatched my mic I'm calling it snatchgate, 1802 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:49,440 Speaker 5: and we were actually raised sixty thousand dollars off of Snatchgate. 1803 01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:52,840 Speaker 5: People were so aghast that they would grab my microphone 1804 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:57,400 Speaker 5: off the podium while I was speaking. You know, there's 1805 01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 5: the story and then there's the backstory. The story is 1806 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 5: I ran a little bit over time. It's true. But 1807 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:06,320 Speaker 5: you know, I'm the congressman for the district, and I 1808 01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,080 Speaker 5: thought they wanted a little bit of legislative update. They 1809 01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 5: gave me five minutes. I took eight, and they said 1810 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,519 Speaker 5: that's it. Dab the mic and I was defending my wife. 1811 01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 5: Donald Trump's attacked her twice on social media. I think 1812 01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 5: it's beyond the pale. But you know, normally I don't 1813 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 5: respond to something sort of inappropriate that the president does. 1814 01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:37,439 Speaker 5: The thing is, my opponent in my election reposted Donald 1815 01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:41,040 Speaker 5: Trump's post. So now he's bringing this back to Kentucky, 1816 01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 5: and the question for him is does he support people 1817 01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:51,400 Speaker 5: attacking spouses and elections In any case, I think the 1818 01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:55,360 Speaker 5: backstory here is that we have liberty candidates in the 1819 01:39:55,439 --> 01:40:00,960 Speaker 5: state legislature that I helped get elected, and they've kept 1820 01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 5: their word. The Speaker of the House in Kentucky was 1821 01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:06,800 Speaker 5: a little bit upset that he lost four chairmen of 1822 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:12,439 Speaker 5: committees in Kentucky's fourth district alone in primaries. Republicans went 1823 01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:16,880 Speaker 5: down to liberty Republicans, and so I think that animosity 1824 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 5: is what spurred him to grab my microphone. Because the 1825 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,200 Speaker 5: MC was in fact to Speaker of the House of 1826 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,120 Speaker 5: Kentucky State Legislature. 1827 01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:31,200 Speaker 1: Well, okay, I understand time limits, but I think your 1828 01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 1: point is well taken. You're the elected official, and you 1829 01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:35,080 Speaker 1: did have things to say about what's going on in 1830 01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:36,920 Speaker 1: the world, and you are entitled to defend your wife. 1831 01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:38,880 Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't know how the bar has been 1832 01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,160 Speaker 1: lowered so much President of the United States of America 1833 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,120 Speaker 1: going after your wife. Your wife's not running for office, sir. 1834 01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:47,720 Speaker 1: And he didn't describe her in any way, shape or 1835 01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:48,719 Speaker 1: form that was accurate. 1836 01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,959 Speaker 5: No, he called her a flaming lefty liberal, which is hilarious. 1837 01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:59,240 Speaker 5: When Donald Trump was given to Hillary Clinton and when 1838 01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 5: my opponent giving to Lindsay Graham, my wife was working 1839 01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:07,760 Speaker 5: for Ron Paul rand Paul campaign for Liberty National Right 1840 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:11,320 Speaker 5: to Work. She's in the right wing conspiracy. She's the 1841 01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:13,559 Speaker 5: furthest thing you can get from a lefty liberal. 1842 01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:16,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my understanding as well. Pivving over to the 1843 01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:18,160 Speaker 1: comment you made earlier on about what's going on today 1844 01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:20,479 Speaker 1: with Pam Bonnie, can you enlighten my listeners about what 1845 01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:21,280 Speaker 1: that is all about? 1846 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:27,400 Speaker 5: Congressome MESSI, Well, this is very important hearing today. Normally, 1847 01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:30,600 Speaker 5: the Attorney General comes once a year to the Judiciary 1848 01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 5: Committee that I serve on and regardless of whether they 1849 01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,280 Speaker 5: want to or not. But it's been well over a 1850 01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:40,639 Speaker 5: year and we haven't seen Pam Bondy. Now that's partially 1851 01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 5: due to a shutdown that happened last fall. She was 1852 01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:44,880 Speaker 5: scheduled to come in and speak to us last fall. 1853 01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 5: But today I expect there's going to be some fireworks 1854 01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:53,240 Speaker 5: because this is going to be in the context of 1855 01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:58,479 Speaker 5: a lot of things going on. For instance, I know 1856 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:04,519 Speaker 5: immigration issues which fall partly under the Attorney General, and 1857 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:10,000 Speaker 5: then also a little bill called the Epstein Files Transparency 1858 01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:14,000 Speaker 5: Act that I got past that has caused the release 1859 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:18,400 Speaker 5: of millions of files, but also inappropriate reactions which I 1860 01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:23,800 Speaker 5: discovered on earthed and got some of them corrected this 1861 01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:27,360 Speaker 5: week by the Deputy Attorney General. We can talk about 1862 01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,320 Speaker 5: that too. Yeah, So I'll have some questions for the 1863 01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,519 Speaker 5: Attorney General. Each of us gets five minutes to question her, 1864 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,080 Speaker 5: and if I have any voice left, which you can 1865 01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,240 Speaker 5: tell is yeah, I'm about to lose it this week. 1866 01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,400 Speaker 5: If I have any voice left, I'll be asking some 1867 01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:44,000 Speaker 5: very pointed questions. 1868 01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:48,759 Speaker 1: Well and legitimately, so those reactions were limited in scope. 1869 01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,480 Speaker 1: My understanding was the only reactions were to prevent victims 1870 01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,120 Speaker 1: from being having their names revealed. But it shouldn't redact 1871 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:58,320 Speaker 1: like you know, members of government or whoever else is 1872 01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:02,759 Speaker 1: in the documents, or am I misremembering what I've read about. 1873 01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:07,439 Speaker 5: That, No, you're correct. And so they released approximately three 1874 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,719 Speaker 5: million documents. They took a lot of them back down 1875 01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:13,120 Speaker 5: and have them put them back up, and then they 1876 01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,759 Speaker 5: allowed US members of Congress to go to the DOJ 1877 01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:21,080 Speaker 5: and look at unredacted documents literally sitting there on a computer. 1878 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 5: You can click a button and the redactions disappear. What 1879 01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:31,000 Speaker 5: I discovered is that they had reacted an FBI file 1880 01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:35,280 Speaker 5: that lists co conspirators. They're labeled as co conspirators in 1881 01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:39,560 Speaker 5: twenty nineteen by the FBI in a child sex trafficking 1882 01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:43,920 Speaker 5: case against Jeffrey Epstein. And you know, some of them 1883 01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:47,040 Speaker 5: are women, and you might say, okay, well, there may 1884 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:50,559 Speaker 5: be a fuzzy line between victim and co conspirator if 1885 01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:53,240 Speaker 5: it's a woman. But one of them was a billionaire 1886 01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:58,800 Speaker 5: CEO that I recognized from the news. And I went 1887 01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:02,000 Speaker 5: out of this area where you can view these files, 1888 01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:04,479 Speaker 5: and I said, they need to release this name. They're 1889 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:08,840 Speaker 5: not allowed to redact co conspirators, and within a few 1890 01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:13,320 Speaker 5: hours the DOJ complied and we found out it's less Wexner, 1891 01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:20,600 Speaker 5: who was the former CEO of Victoria's Secret and he 1892 01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:23,880 Speaker 5: had a lot of business dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. And 1893 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,760 Speaker 5: so one of the questions I have is what was 1894 01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:32,760 Speaker 5: the decision process for not bringing charges against less Wexner 1895 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:35,479 Speaker 5: if he was listed as a co conspirator by the 1896 01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:41,200 Speaker 5: FBI in twenty nineteen when Jeffrey Epstein died or disappeared, 1897 01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,840 Speaker 5: whatever you think happened to Jeffrey Epstein. I did a 1898 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:49,160 Speaker 5: poll online. Only three percent of the over one hundred 1899 01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:53,040 Speaker 5: thousand people who responded thinks that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. 1900 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:57,880 Speaker 5: But that's a different different it is. The main thing 1901 01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:02,000 Speaker 5: here is we had Cash tell in front of our committee, 1902 01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:06,120 Speaker 5: Judiciary Committee, and he testified in the Senate to Senator 1903 01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:10,080 Speaker 5: Kennedy that there was no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein did 1904 01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:13,640 Speaker 5: any sex trafficking of minors, and then he came over 1905 01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:16,040 Speaker 5: the House and told me the same thing in hearing. 1906 01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:21,160 Speaker 5: So the question is did he perjure himself, because here 1907 01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:23,560 Speaker 5: we've got a document that says they glued to a 1908 01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:24,440 Speaker 5: co conspirators. 1909 01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:31,280 Speaker 1: Wow, have you come up with any any explanation for 1910 01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:33,519 Speaker 1: the subterfuge which seems to be going on in connection 1911 01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 1: with documents? I mean, you've got millions of documents. Obviously 1912 01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:39,960 Speaker 1: there are others that have inappropriate reactions in them along 1913 01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:41,720 Speaker 1: the lines of what you were just saying. I mean, 1914 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:43,800 Speaker 1: for you to have to go into that private room 1915 01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,639 Speaker 1: and unredact them and look at them for one individual 1916 01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:49,439 Speaker 1: congressman who actually cares about the truth, that's going to 1917 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:51,280 Speaker 1: take you a while, isn't it, Congressman Massey. 1918 01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's millions of documents. I've I spent two hours. 1919 01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 5: I looked at forty documents. I found three of them 1920 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:04,160 Speaker 5: were inappropriately redacted. I went public with it, and with hours, 1921 01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:08,960 Speaker 5: within hours, the FBI acknowledged what I had found and 1922 01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:14,280 Speaker 5: also publicly admitted or unredacted what was in this file. So, 1923 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:17,160 Speaker 5: for instance, there's an email in the Epstein files where 1924 01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:22,240 Speaker 5: Epstein says, thanks for the torture video. I really enjoyed it. Well, 1925 01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:26,800 Speaker 5: the question is who sent that because the FBI or 1926 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:33,519 Speaker 5: dj had redacted the email address. Because they're here's there, 1927 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:36,880 Speaker 5: they're making the defense that they by law they have 1928 01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:41,000 Speaker 5: to redact personally identifiable information. Well, there's nothing in our 1929 01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:45,240 Speaker 5: law that says redact personally identical information of people who 1930 01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:52,120 Speaker 5: send Jeffrey Epstein torture porn, and our law says for victims. Well, 1931 01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:56,559 Speaker 5: this clearly wasn't a victim. So I unredacted the email address. 1932 01:46:57,120 --> 01:46:59,560 Speaker 5: I looked at it. I didn't recognize it immediately, but 1933 01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:02,920 Speaker 5: I threw back into the DOJ computer and search the 1934 01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,920 Speaker 5: Epstein posse for that email address, and it shows up 1935 01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:10,439 Speaker 5: dozens and dozens of times, and it belongs to a 1936 01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:15,479 Speaker 5: billionaire in the United Arab Emirates who's first name is Sultan. 1937 01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:19,960 Speaker 5: I don't know if that's an idol first name, but 1938 01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:22,519 Speaker 5: so I released that name too. So now we know 1939 01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:24,479 Speaker 5: who sent the torture video to Epstein. 1940 01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:27,519 Speaker 1: But you mentioned the law, this isn't There's an underlying 1941 01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:30,320 Speaker 1: law that was passed by bipartisan port to support overwhelmingly, 1942 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:34,479 Speaker 1: which obligated to produce these documents unredacted, with certain notable exceptions. 1943 01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,560 Speaker 1: They have not complied with the law. What recourse is 1944 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:42,360 Speaker 1: there other than two individually identify erroneously redacted documents one 1945 01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,840 Speaker 1: at a time and have them unredact them Congressom Massey. 1946 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:50,519 Speaker 5: Before we get through the recourse, we'll talk about the 1947 01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:56,240 Speaker 5: other ways they're violating the law. So sometimes on the 1948 01:47:56,320 --> 01:48:00,479 Speaker 5: computer I would hit unredact and the big black reaction 1949 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,200 Speaker 5: that redacts the whole page. We go away and there 1950 01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:06,439 Speaker 5: would be a page that's ninety percent redacted with white 1951 01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 5: boxes instead of black boxes sub reaction, or sometimes you 1952 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:13,600 Speaker 5: hit unredact and none of the redactions come off. And 1953 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:17,040 Speaker 5: we asked the DOJ, why are these files? Why can't 1954 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:19,439 Speaker 5: we unredact them. They're like, well, this is the condition 1955 01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:22,560 Speaker 5: in which we receive the files. Well, the thing is, 1956 01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:27,839 Speaker 5: in other words, they received redacted files. But here's the problem. 1957 01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:31,759 Speaker 5: The law that Rokanna and I wrote says that the FBI, 1958 01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:36,400 Speaker 5: the US Attorneys, and the DOJ have to produce these documents, 1959 01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:40,760 Speaker 5: and the DOJ, specifically the Attorney General is responsible for 1960 01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:45,240 Speaker 5: publishing them publishing them. So if the Attorney General got 1961 01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:49,480 Speaker 5: this material from the FBI or the US Attorneys already redacted, 1962 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:52,719 Speaker 5: then the FBI and the US Attorneys are not complying 1963 01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:55,080 Speaker 5: with the law. She needs to go back and get those. 1964 01:48:55,600 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 5: And finally, there's still documents we know exist. Some of 1965 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,720 Speaker 5: the three or two forms, which are the forms that 1966 01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:06,080 Speaker 5: the FBI fills out after the interview victims. Some of 1967 01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:09,200 Speaker 5: those are still missing, so they've got a lot more 1968 01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:12,880 Speaker 5: work to do. What is the recourse well, and to 1969 01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,080 Speaker 5: ask Pam Bondi some questions today and the hearing, and 1970 01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:15,920 Speaker 5: I'm gonna find out. 1971 01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure you will. Congressman Thomas Messi will take a 1972 01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:22,320 Speaker 1: quick break here will continue more on Epstein files. Trump 1973 01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:27,760 Speaker 1: apparently calling you the talk station eight nineteen couple of 1974 01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:30,880 Speaker 1: the twenty fifty five Kercite talk station Judge Ednapollatan a 1975 01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:33,800 Speaker 1: huge fan of my current guest, Congressman Thomas Messi. He'll 1976 01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:38,240 Speaker 1: be on next and meantime, sticking with the Epstein files. 1977 01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:43,000 Speaker 1: Generally speaking, Congressman Messy, notwithstanding the challenges you were obviously facing, 1978 01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:44,479 Speaker 1: hopefully those will go the way of the DODO and 1979 01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:46,679 Speaker 1: we'll get to see everything we're supposed to see based 1980 01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:49,200 Speaker 1: upon the current state of the law. Is there anything 1981 01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:51,360 Speaker 1: in there that really blew your mind? I mean something 1982 01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,560 Speaker 1: that you have seen that my listening audience might be 1983 01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:55,800 Speaker 1: curious about. A lot of rumors and swirling about. I 1984 01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:58,400 Speaker 1: know he bought, you know, hydrochloric acid, and I don't 1985 01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:00,720 Speaker 1: know what to make about that, but anything in there 1986 01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:04,320 Speaker 1: that with substance that like, Okay, here's what we were thinking, 1987 01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:07,840 Speaker 1: or this confirms what we're thinking, or maybe just the 1988 01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:10,759 Speaker 1: absence of any prosecutions that came about with that's obviously 1989 01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,120 Speaker 1: a takeaway we can have from what actually happened out 1990 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:14,560 Speaker 1: in the World Congress from Massey. 1991 01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:18,400 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, if you're watching Fox News, this 1992 01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:24,120 Speaker 5: isn't even happening, Like the mainstream conservative media is totally 1993 01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,000 Speaker 5: ignoring this. You've got to go on Facebook, or you've 1994 01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:30,519 Speaker 5: got to go on x or Instagram to even see 1995 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:34,439 Speaker 5: anything halfway truthful about what's going down with the Epstein files. 1996 01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:39,400 Speaker 5: Three members of government in Great Britain are now no 1997 01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:43,519 Speaker 5: longer in government, the things willing to prosecute his brother now, 1998 01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:48,200 Speaker 5: the princess in Norway is probably no longer eligible to 1999 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:51,120 Speaker 5: be a queen. And in the United States there's still 2000 01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:55,720 Speaker 5: been zero, zero accountability or repercussions for what's come out. 2001 01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:58,280 Speaker 5: And one of the biggest things we've learned in there 2002 01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:03,880 Speaker 5: is that Howard Lutnik is a straight up liar. He 2003 01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 5: went and said just a few months ago that he 2004 01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,000 Speaker 5: met Epstein in two thousand and five, who was disgusted 2005 01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:14,640 Speaker 5: by him, thought he was a pervert and said he 2006 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:16,640 Speaker 5: would have nothing to do with him ever again, and 2007 01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:19,280 Speaker 5: never did. But what we found out in the files 2008 01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:25,120 Speaker 5: is Epstein took his family on vacation to I'm sorry, 2009 01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:29,360 Speaker 5: Lutnick took his family on vacation to Epstein's island and 2010 01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:32,679 Speaker 5: saw and had lunch with Jeffrey Epstein and his kids 2011 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:36,280 Speaker 5: and his nanny and his wife. And if that's not enough, 2012 01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:39,960 Speaker 5: they were in business together, they shared phone calls together. 2013 01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:45,559 Speaker 5: And so now yesterday in front of the Senate hearing, Lutnick, 2014 01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:48,800 Speaker 5: by the way, Howard Lutnik is your commerce secretary. He's 2015 01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:52,800 Speaker 5: a billionaire who associated with Epstein but lied to us 2016 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:54,960 Speaker 5: until his files came out, and said that he didn't 2017 01:51:56,240 --> 01:52:00,160 Speaker 5: you see him in the videos standing behind Trump, he's 2018 01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:04,400 Speaker 5: getting on the plane, when he's getting on the helicopter. Anyways, 2019 01:52:05,360 --> 01:52:08,479 Speaker 5: I think Latinik should resign. I don't trust him. If 2020 01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:11,600 Speaker 5: he's gonna lie about the Epstein stuff so blatantly and 2021 01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:15,599 Speaker 5: then get caught for it, he should resign. He doesn't 2022 01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:18,800 Speaker 5: have our confidence. And he was called out in the 2023 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,559 Speaker 5: Senate hearing yesterday where he admitted that he had been 2024 01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:25,280 Speaker 5: to Epstein's island, but only he said when the files 2025 01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,439 Speaker 5: came out, I did what everybody else did. I put 2026 01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:30,120 Speaker 5: my name in there and searched for it. And I 2027 01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:34,719 Speaker 5: don't remember anything that's not in those files. In other words, 2028 01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:37,479 Speaker 5: nothing he could get caught for. Will he admit to 2029 01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:39,560 Speaker 5: unless he can get caught for it. 2030 01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:42,280 Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned the subter views earlier. Is it just 2031 01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:46,000 Speaker 1: this simple quantity of very powerful people around this planet 2032 01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:48,920 Speaker 1: that had all these tight close ties with Epstein? Was 2033 01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:51,240 Speaker 1: it the fear of all the dominoes falling? As I've 2034 01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:52,840 Speaker 1: been referring it to. You mentioned that, you know, the 2035 01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,040 Speaker 1: foreign leaders have lost their positions, been fired or being 2036 01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,920 Speaker 1: pressured to leave because of the ties with Epstein. I mean, 2037 01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:00,479 Speaker 1: part of me wants to know how on the hell 2038 01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:03,040 Speaker 1: all of these powerful people got connected with Epstein, unless, 2039 01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:07,439 Speaker 1: of course, it involves child molestation. But uh, I'm just 2040 01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,080 Speaker 1: looking for a reason why we've gone so long without 2041 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:12,520 Speaker 1: seeing these documents before Congress with Messy. 2042 01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:16,400 Speaker 5: Because these are the most powerful people on the planet. 2043 01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:24,760 Speaker 5: They're they're not only billionaires, they're in government, you know, 2044 01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:30,080 Speaker 5: they're in movies. They're they're very powerful people, and they 2045 01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:33,560 Speaker 5: have a lot of influence, and I say this is 2046 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:38,719 Speaker 5: bigger than Watergate and bigger than Iron Contra. Because this scandal, 2047 01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:43,240 Speaker 5: we've just scratched the top of it, and it spans 2048 01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:49,519 Speaker 5: four administrations and even more attorneys general over the past 2049 01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:54,320 Speaker 5: couple of decades. It's a big scandal. And anybody who 2050 01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:57,680 Speaker 5: says it's no big deal is those are people you 2051 01:53:57,720 --> 01:53:58,519 Speaker 5: should not trust. 2052 01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:01,720 Speaker 1: Well, fair, fair enough, and thankfully Congressman asks who we 2053 01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:03,160 Speaker 1: have you to get to the bottom of it may 2054 01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:05,519 Speaker 1: take a while, but I know you will. You've been 2055 01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:08,680 Speaker 1: on this on this track for a long time. Real 2056 01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:12,439 Speaker 1: quick here before we part company. The tariff vote, I 2057 01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:15,439 Speaker 1: guess members of Congress maybe trying to undo Donald Trump's tariffs. 2058 01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:17,840 Speaker 1: I know you made what some are characterizing as a 2059 01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,240 Speaker 1: controversial vote, but considering the procedural situation, it seemed like 2060 01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:23,799 Speaker 1: I understand where you were coming from. Are you against 2061 01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:28,040 Speaker 1: the tariffs that Donald Trumps has imposed or was this 2062 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:31,320 Speaker 1: something to do with the procedural posture of that piece 2063 01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:32,000 Speaker 1: of legislation. 2064 01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:37,120 Speaker 5: Well, let me said a few things straight. If we 2065 01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:39,280 Speaker 5: could go back to the way it was the first 2066 01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:41,880 Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty years of this country and get 2067 01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,520 Speaker 5: rid of the income tax and replace it with tariffs. 2068 01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,600 Speaker 5: I would be seriously interested in that option. Okay, but 2069 01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:51,040 Speaker 5: what we have now is we have tariffs and we 2070 01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:55,320 Speaker 5: have an income tax. And there's a couple other problems. 2071 01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:58,400 Speaker 5: Because the tariffs can change any day, depending on what 2072 01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:00,600 Speaker 5: side of the bed the president gets up on. They 2073 01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:03,840 Speaker 5: don't really have the incentives that you think they would like. 2074 01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:08,360 Speaker 5: Factories are not importing new tooling to make things in 2075 01:55:08,360 --> 01:55:11,760 Speaker 5: the United States instead of overseas because number one, the 2076 01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:14,680 Speaker 5: tariffs apply to the new tooling they bring in, and 2077 01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:17,920 Speaker 5: number two, they might pay a fifty percent tariff on 2078 01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:21,680 Speaker 5: us let's say a stamping machine that makes venders for cars, 2079 01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:25,400 Speaker 5: and then the tariff goes away tomorrow and it doesn't 2080 01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:31,000 Speaker 5: make business sense anymore so. And then finally, the Constitution 2081 01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:34,800 Speaker 5: is very clear on this. All taxes have to originate 2082 01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:37,800 Speaker 5: not just in Congress, but in the House of Representatives. 2083 01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:41,200 Speaker 5: And you know, you may be sitting there and thinking, oh, 2084 01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:43,840 Speaker 5: these are tariffs. They're not taxes. We have an income tax, 2085 01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:45,880 Speaker 5: and then these are tariffs. They're a totally different thing. 2086 01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:49,160 Speaker 5: It's the wrong way of thinking about this because for 2087 01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:52,400 Speaker 5: the first one hundred and fifty years of our country, 2088 01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:57,200 Speaker 5: over ninety percent of our taxes were from tariffs. Like 2089 01:55:57,480 --> 01:56:00,960 Speaker 5: when the Founder said that the House of Senatives is 2090 01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,680 Speaker 5: the one that has to decide whether we have taxes 2091 01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:08,320 Speaker 5: or not, they were talking about tariffs, and that was 2092 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:11,000 Speaker 5: known for the first one hundred and fifty years. So 2093 01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:14,880 Speaker 5: in the nineteen seventy six it passed a law that 2094 01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:17,440 Speaker 5: says the president can declare emergency, but when he does, 2095 01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:22,800 Speaker 5: Congress within fifteen days can undo the emergency. Well, in 2096 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:27,400 Speaker 5: order to implement some of these TIFFs, the president declared emergencies, 2097 01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:30,760 Speaker 5: maybe a fentanyl emergency, but then he ends up taxing 2098 01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:34,480 Speaker 5: farm products because there's a fentanyl emergency. And the Supreme 2099 01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:36,640 Speaker 5: Court's going to rule on this soon enough, I think. 2100 01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:41,240 Speaker 5: But in the meantime, yesterday you have the Speaker of 2101 01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:44,240 Speaker 5: the House trying to pass a resolution that said a 2102 01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:46,480 Speaker 5: day is not a day for the purposes of the 2103 01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:50,680 Speaker 5: fifteen day clock in the nineteen seventy six law. It's 2104 01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:56,600 Speaker 5: totally bogus way of not voting on tariffs by subverting 2105 01:56:56,680 --> 01:57:01,640 Speaker 5: the law and transparency. What whatever you believe about tariffs, 2106 01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:04,960 Speaker 5: I would hope if you've read the Constitution, you know 2107 01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:07,320 Speaker 5: that we have to vote on these things. You can't 2108 01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:09,640 Speaker 5: have a president turn a tax on one day and 2109 01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:10,640 Speaker 5: turn it off the next. 2110 01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:13,640 Speaker 1: Congress Thom Thomas Messi, you stumbled upon judging and a 2111 01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:18,560 Speaker 1: politana's topic of conversation, the coming constitutional ice age. I 2112 01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:21,280 Speaker 1: think you'd probably share your concerns about tarifs, Congressome Messi. 2113 01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:23,920 Speaker 1: He still believes in the Constitution as you do, and 2114 01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:25,640 Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough for the what you do. 2115 01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:28,120 Speaker 1: Congressom Messy, keep fighting the good fight, and I wish 2116 01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:29,760 Speaker 1: you all the best, keeping your voice for the rest 2117 01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,920 Speaker 1: of the day. You're gonna need it, my friend, thank 2118 01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:35,840 Speaker 1: you and give my judge the best.

Bengals are going to take safety.

He is welcome back, you're honor. 2135 01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:31,040 Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to have me on the fifty 2136 01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:34,120 Speaker 1: five KRC morning show. He's tapping me. He can't hear us. Joe, 2137 01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:41,120 Speaker 1: all right, he's gonna have to call. Oh, hell's bells. 2138 01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:44,600 Speaker 1: How is it? That's always ends up happening. So Judge 2139 01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:46,520 Speaker 1: or Joe, you want to get him on the phone, 2140 01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,680 Speaker 1: please as soon as possible, and we'll see if we 2141 01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:51,560 Speaker 1: can't work this out. It's always troubling when this happens. 2142 01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:53,720 Speaker 1: I definitely was going to ask him about the terrorf situation, 2143 01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:55,920 Speaker 1: because of course that's a constitutional issue as framed by 2144 01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:59,040 Speaker 1: Congressman Massey. But we also have this whole idea of 2145 01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:04,280 Speaker 1: administ warrants versus judicial warrants, and he's talked about that before. 2146 01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:07,480 Speaker 1: In connection with the demands that the Democrats are seeking 2147 01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:11,560 Speaker 1: to get the government reopened. They want judicial warrants only, 2148 01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,720 Speaker 1: and the judges comment about that many times before, So 2149 01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:16,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear a little bit about that. In context 2150 01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:21,240 Speaker 1: of his column tonight, the Coming Constitutional ice Age, judge Edapoltanic, 2151 01:59:21,280 --> 01:59:21,760 Speaker 1: can you hear me? 2152 01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:24,640 Speaker 2: Now? Yeah, they hear you and that, Brian, and I 2153 01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:27,960 Speaker 2: see you. I see you through the wizardry of the 2154 01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:30,880 Speaker 2: digital system, but I hear it through an old fashioned son. 2155 01:59:31,160 --> 01:59:33,920 Speaker 1: Well, it is crazy. I don't know how we always 2156 01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:37,160 Speaker 1: stumble into these problems, but we'll blame the gremlins and 2157 01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:40,480 Speaker 1: my conspiracy theory. Audience are probably suggesting maybe some left 2158 01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:45,000 Speaker 1: wingers out there, or people who don't like Congressman Thomas 2159 01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:47,160 Speaker 1: Massy or you and your positions on the Constitution are 2160 01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:51,040 Speaker 1: sabotaging the segment. Anyway, your column tonight comes out at midnight, 2161 01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:54,600 Speaker 1: the coming Constitutional ice Age. Congress a messy kind of 2162 01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:56,400 Speaker 1: stumbled upon this in the context of a question. I 2163 01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 1: asked him about his vote on tariffs, and he said, well, 2164 01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:02,440 Speaker 1: the Constitution very clear, tariffs are the power of Congress, 2165 02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:06,040 Speaker 1: not for the president. You to latterly wage, and he 2166 02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:08,920 Speaker 1: is not in favor of Donald Trump's tariffs. Have you 2167 02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:10,880 Speaker 1: and I talked about this before. I don't recall that 2168 02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:13,160 Speaker 1: this subject matter has come up, and I apologize if 2169 02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,960 Speaker 1: it has your honor, But your position relative the tariffs, 2170 02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:18,040 Speaker 1: which the Supreme Court's got a case in front of 2171 02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:18,640 Speaker 1: it right now. 2172 02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:23,760 Speaker 2: I wish the Supreme Court would rule. We keep hearing 2173 02:00:24,120 --> 02:00:28,640 Speaker 2: rumors that there are colossal battles going on in the 2174 02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:33,879 Speaker 2: Supreme Court over this. Congressman Massey is one hundred percent correct. 2175 02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:37,480 Speaker 2: A tariff is a tax. It's a sales tax, and 2176 02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:41,040 Speaker 2: co only Congress can impose taxes. It's the very first 2177 02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:45,560 Speaker 2: authority given to the Congress in the Constitution. The President 2178 02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:49,760 Speaker 2: can't impose them on his own. Presidents have imposed tariffs, 2179 02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:53,080 Speaker 2: but only when Congress has expressly authorized them to do so. 2180 02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:58,520 Speaker 2: Congress has never authorized President Trump to impose tariffs. In fact, 2181 02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:02,200 Speaker 2: the statute on which he really lives doesn't even mention tariff. 2182 02:01:02,720 --> 02:01:06,000 Speaker 2: The President's argument is that tariffs are an instrument of 2183 02:01:06,120 --> 02:01:11,560 Speaker 2: foreign policy, and foreign policy is exclusively an executive function. 2184 02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:16,600 Speaker 2: But the sounder argument is the Congressman Massy argument, the 2185 02:01:16,680 --> 02:01:19,320 Speaker 2: one that was held up by the Trout Court and 2186 02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:22,320 Speaker 2: the Appellate Court, and the one that I think of 2187 02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:25,280 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court will hold up as well. But as 2188 02:01:25,360 --> 02:01:28,160 Speaker 2: I said, we're still waiting for a ruling to come down. 2189 02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Well, I guess the way I see it, having worked 2190 02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:34,000 Speaker 1: with at least Trump and his actions on tariffs, he 2191 02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:37,200 Speaker 1: imposes our love's of tariff for threatens one and uses 2192 02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:41,920 Speaker 1: that threat as a vehicle to negotiate some foreign policy 2193 02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:46,120 Speaker 1: agreement with a foreign nation. So it became the motivating 2194 02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:48,920 Speaker 1: factor for some foreign land to engage in a foreign 2195 02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:52,160 Speaker 1: policy discussion. But you're saying that that's like an original sin. 2196 02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,160 Speaker 1: You can't do it in the first place, Therefore it 2197 02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:56,320 Speaker 1: doesn't act as a valid threat to the foreign country. 2198 02:01:56,960 --> 02:01:59,840 Speaker 2: Well, yes, yes, nicely putting. Of course, he's also done 2199 02:01:59,880 --> 02:02:08,840 Speaker 2: it very petty and personal reasons. When the governor general 2200 02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:11,200 Speaker 2: or Prime minister I'm not sure what his title is 2201 02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:18,440 Speaker 2: of Quebec ran a television ad of Ronald Reagan lasting tariffs. 2202 02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:24,480 Speaker 2: Trump got so angry that he raised tariffs on Canada. 2203 02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:31,960 Speaker 2: I mean, this type of presidential mercurial personal behavior with 2204 02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:35,200 Speaker 2: respect to the taxes that people paid. These taxes are 2205 02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:40,160 Speaker 2: paid by Americans was never contemplated or authorized anywhere in 2206 02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:44,960 Speaker 2: the Constitution or in Supreme Court jurisprudence. This isn't even 2207 02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,480 Speaker 2: a close call in my view, nor was it a 2208 02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:50,480 Speaker 2: close call at the trial court. Tralcourt in this case 2209 02:02:50,600 --> 02:02:52,960 Speaker 2: is not a jury, it's a panel of three judges. 2210 02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:57,840 Speaker 2: Then there's the appellate panel. The trail court was unanimous 2211 02:02:57,880 --> 02:03:01,720 Speaker 2: against it. The appellate panel was seven to four against it. 2212 02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:05,800 Speaker 2: Now it's been before the Supreme Court since September. Here 2213 02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:08,200 Speaker 2: we are in February, and we don't have a ruling yet. 2214 02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Fair enough, Pivoting over to constitutional issue number two, declarations 2215 02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:15,120 Speaker 1: of war, we seem to be all ready to I mean, 2216 02:03:15,120 --> 02:03:18,600 Speaker 1: we're going to massed a massive force to deal with Iran. Obviously, 2217 02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:21,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is endeavoring to get some concessions from Iran 2218 02:03:21,080 --> 02:03:23,280 Speaker 1: regard to their missile plans that they don't want to. 2219 02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:25,840 Speaker 1: They say they won't concede an inch on missiles. So 2220 02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:27,720 Speaker 1: we seem to be the stalemate with Iran. But the 2221 02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:31,160 Speaker 1: implicit threat behind all this is the massive armada of 2222 02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:34,080 Speaker 1: US military hard where that's floating around very close, and 2223 02:03:34,240 --> 02:03:37,880 Speaker 1: the veiled threat that Donald Trump's gonna unleash what seems 2224 02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:40,480 Speaker 1: to me to be an actual outright declaration of war 2225 02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:44,920 Speaker 1: talking about regime change, unlike perhaps a contrast, some may 2226 02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:48,680 Speaker 1: make like a single military strike on nuclear facilities to 2227 02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:51,520 Speaker 1: maybe rid the world of an impending nuclear threat. But 2228 02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:54,760 Speaker 1: this is sounds to me like literally all out war, 2229 02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:57,120 Speaker 1: which I would argue, and I think you may feel 2230 02:03:57,160 --> 02:03:59,600 Speaker 1: the same way. We'll find out that Congress needs to 2231 02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:00,000 Speaker 1: be involved. 2232 02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:06,640 Speaker 2: Could not be clearer. The president wages the wars that 2233 02:04:06,880 --> 02:04:12,040 Speaker 2: Congress declares he can't invade another country in tending to 2234 02:04:12,080 --> 02:04:16,520 Speaker 2: bring about regime change, to change the government effectively. That's 2235 02:04:16,560 --> 02:04:19,480 Speaker 2: why we fought the Nazis, not to kill the German people, 2236 02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:22,440 Speaker 2: but to change the government. You can't do these things 2237 02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:26,560 Speaker 2: under the Constitution without a declaration of war from Congress. 2238 02:04:26,640 --> 02:04:29,880 Speaker 2: He couldn't care less. Look as we speak, he may 2239 02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:34,800 Speaker 2: be getting ready to bomb Mexico. Now I'm not exaggerating. 2240 02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:39,760 Speaker 2: The FAA just ordered all aircraft away from the El 2241 02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:43,480 Speaker 2: Paso region because of an impending emergency. Now, what the 2242 02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:46,560 Speaker 2: heck could that be other than maybe drun strikes on 2243 02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:53,120 Speaker 2: cartels in Mexico. That's called an invasion. It Congress authorized that, 2244 02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:53,879 Speaker 2: of course. 2245 02:04:53,760 --> 02:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Not And constitutional issue number three, the subject Maney of 2246 02:04:58,720 --> 02:05:02,080 Speaker 1: your column becoming conscitutional ice age back to the concept 2247 02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:05,760 Speaker 1: of administrative warrants versus judicial warrants. You're on record previously 2248 02:05:05,920 --> 02:05:09,720 Speaker 1: judicial warrants are obligated under these circumstances. Administrative warrants are 2249 02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:12,320 Speaker 1: a sort of whole cloth creation, the idea that a 2250 02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:16,760 Speaker 1: federal agent can authorize the entry into someone's about or 2251 02:05:16,760 --> 02:05:20,560 Speaker 1: building absent a judicial review with probable causes required by 2252 02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:23,320 Speaker 1: the Constitution. Something in your article, though, I wanted you 2253 02:05:23,360 --> 02:05:25,440 Speaker 1: explain to my listeners because I know they're going to 2254 02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:29,600 Speaker 1: read it. You start a paragraph eight or nine, Entering 2255 02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:33,879 Speaker 1: the United States illegally is a federal crime. Next paragraph, 2256 02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:36,600 Speaker 1: entering the US illegally and remaining here beyond the time 2257 02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:39,760 Speaker 1: limits imposed at the time of entry is not a crime. 2258 02:05:39,880 --> 02:05:43,000 Speaker 1: Can you explain the distinction between those two if you 2259 02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:43,680 Speaker 1: don't mind, sir. 2260 02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:52,640 Speaker 2: Well, Congress has not characterized overstaying your permit as a crime. 2261 02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:57,680 Speaker 2: That's a civil wrong. Therefore, no judge would sign and 2262 02:05:57,880 --> 02:06:00,960 Speaker 2: arrest warrant for anybody, which is where they've created this 2263 02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:03,760 Speaker 2: administrative warrant nonsense, so that they can. 2264 02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:05,080 Speaker 5: Arrest these people. 2265 02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:10,480 Speaker 2: So somebody comes here on a student visa, they finish graduating, 2266 02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:14,320 Speaker 2: they don't return the visas expired, They get married, they 2267 02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:18,280 Speaker 2: have children, they have a job, they have grandchildren, they've 2268 02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:20,960 Speaker 2: been here for thirty years, they pay taxes, they have 2269 02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:23,560 Speaker 2: a Social Security number, they don't vote, and not an 2270 02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:28,840 Speaker 2: American citizen. Their spouse is, their children are their grandchildren are? 2271 02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:33,920 Speaker 2: Can they be arrested? No, but I will arrest them anyway. 2272 02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,560 Speaker 2: They can't be arrested because no judge would sign an 2273 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:40,200 Speaker 2: arrest warrant because that is not a crime. The crime 2274 02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:46,280 Speaker 2: is the illegal entry they entered legally. Overstaying your legal 2275 02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:50,320 Speaker 2: entry is a civil wrong, like failing to shovel your 2276 02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:54,560 Speaker 2: sidewalk or paying your taxes too late. These things are wrong, 2277 02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:58,280 Speaker 2: but they're not criminal. Therefore they can't be the basis 2278 02:06:58,440 --> 02:07:02,440 Speaker 2: for an arrest. Therefore, ICE has made up its own 2279 02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:05,680 Speaker 2: rules so that it can arrest these people. It's rules 2280 02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:09,400 Speaker 2: in utter contravention of the clear language of the Constitution. 2281 02:07:10,440 --> 02:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Until yesterday, actually until Friday, this was all ICE nonsense. 2282 02:07:16,080 --> 02:07:19,760 Speaker 2: On Friday, at United States Court of Appeals ratified it. 2283 02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:24,680 Speaker 2: That's two judges sitting on the fifteen judge Court of 2284 02:07:24,720 --> 02:07:27,520 Speaker 2: Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. I would imagine I know 2285 02:07:27,680 --> 02:07:29,200 Speaker 2: that this will be appealed. I don't know what the 2286 02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:30,160 Speaker 2: Supreme Court will do. 2287 02:07:30,280 --> 02:07:33,280 Speaker 1: With it, probably an on bank review first before it 2288 02:07:33,320 --> 02:07:34,400 Speaker 1: goes up to the Supreme Court. 2289 02:07:35,400 --> 02:07:39,080 Speaker 5: I will this is the most conservative court in the Union, 2290 02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:44,760 Speaker 5: but I mean one of these, some of these the 2291 02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:50,360 Speaker 5: conservative judges of a libertarian or a constitutionalist strain in them, 2292 02:07:50,440 --> 02:07:52,720 Speaker 5: even though they've been appointed by Donald Trump. And I've 2293 02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:56,320 Speaker 5: not gone along with this nonsense to the extent that 2294 02:07:56,440 --> 02:07:59,800 Speaker 5: this will tee up the concept of administrative varnce for 2295 02:07:59,880 --> 02:08:03,560 Speaker 5: the Supreme Court finally to rule on that's a good thing. 2296 02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:06,880 Speaker 5: But to the extent they might be ratified, it would 2297 02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:09,360 Speaker 5: utterly fly in the face of the Fourth Amendment. 2298 02:08:10,240 --> 02:08:13,000 Speaker 1: Excuse me. Judging of Paulton will always appreciate your stage 2299 02:08:13,040 --> 02:08:17,240 Speaker 1: wisdom and well your commitment to the Constitution the United 2300 02:08:17,280 --> 02:08:20,320 Speaker 1: States of America.

How soon will Trump do what Benjamin Etsigna 2305 02:08:34,040 --> 02:08:37,080 Speaker 2: who has come here to ask him to do, which 2306 02:08:37,200 --> 02:08:42,360 Speaker 2: is to invade Iran for the benefit of the expansion 2307 02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:47,240 Speaker 2: of Israel's borders, Because Iran poses no national security threat 2308 02:08:47,280 --> 02:08:50,800 Speaker 2: to the United States. That's the other reason corongressy won't 2309 02:08:50,840 --> 02:08:52,919 Speaker 2: get the declaration of war from Congress. 2310 02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:56,120 Speaker 1: That is true certainly about that, and that's I guess 2311 02:08:56,160 --> 02:08:59,040 Speaker 1: that's really the key component here. They may be a threat, 2312 02:08:59,160 --> 02:09:02,800 Speaker 1: imminent threat, xistential threat to Israel, but Iran is not 2313 02:09:03,160 --> 02:09:05,400 Speaker 1: an existential threat or eminent threat to the United States 2314 02:09:05,440 --> 02:09:08,120 Speaker 1: of America, which is to the point, and it's well 2315 02:09:08,160 --> 02:09:11,400 Speaker 1: taken Judgingnapolitano.
