Funds this morning, kind of a weird sound coming through them. Apologies for
that and Happy Wednesday, nonetheless, Brian Thomas right here in finding phone calls
five one three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight two three talk
Joe Dereker, executive producer, Thank you for lining up Ken Blackwell. Love
Ken. He's a board member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, among other
things. Impressive resume Ken has. We're gonna get his thoughts on the Biden
Kamala Harris situation and his thoughts on picking JD. Vans and the Vice President
Shohn nominee, among other topics with Ken Blackwell. That's coming up at seven
oh five. Rick Robinson of his book nineteen sixty eight. This should be
a good conversation primer for understanding baby boomers, comparing the Democrats nineteen sixty eight
convention to the Democrats of twenty twenty four convention. Of course, coming up.
Sixty eight wasn't a great day. It was not a banner day for
the Democrats back then. So anyway, parallels can be drawn and we will
work through those with Rick Robinson at eight oh five. And I meantime,
got to give props a guy Benson as we watch the well, the just
amazing groundsfoo of support for Kamala Harris after she was anointed, after they chucked
Joe Biden out the door, a little bit of coup to ta going on,
and of course the money's rolling in and the groundswallow support and polling.
Oh my god, Reuter's zipsos poll Harris leads Trump by two points. Huh,
and that's bound to happen. Democrats are so damn relieved that Joe Biden
is no longer a drag on the ticket, considering how poorly he has been
polling. This is just sort of like, oh my god, thank god
he's gone. But what do they have in return? Kamala Harris is why
I turned a guy Benson. I would just go ahead and read his opinion
piece, which is directed at you by Republican and independent leaning friends, and
what we need to do about it. The Biden campaign was bleeding out holed
by weeks of fratricital attacks from within the Democratic Party from its top appendage,
the news media. Finally, the president hit the threshold for political pain,
relented, announcing his withdrawal from the race, and a letter posted online shortly
thereafter, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him in the role as
Democratic nominee. Many in the party were anxious about this choice too, but
the painful era of internal warring had to end. Dislodging Biden had been ugly
enough. Also, trying to jettison Harris would have been a giant risk.
Even a completely fresh ticket is what many elite Democrats ardently wanted, some still
do. Prolonging the drama and introducing a new acrimony was disposed of as an
option, so that coalesce was rapid coalescence rather was rapid doubts and concerns aside.
They're with her, stuck with her, perhaps, but they're with her.
How should Republicans respond to all this? Again, this is Guy Benson.
Allow me to make a few points before getting my thoughts on how to
prosecute the most effective case against Harris. First, it's a bit ridiculous sing
some people pretending that Republicans are panicked about Biden's ouster and Harris's ascension. It's
true that there has been something of a volcanic reaction to these unprecedented maacinations,
but that's natural expect For months the Trump campaign has been running against Democrats incumbent
and presumptive nominee who dominated his party's primary process. Joe Biden jump built a
stable lead over him with the general election well underway. The Democrats sustained lie
about Biden's condition, replete with the indignant gas lighting about cheap fakes, and
fell apart during the open minutes of the far earlier than usual presidential debate.
Caught in their extremely damaging lie, Democrats decided they need to do over.
The election. Results of the primary would be discarded. In the man their
voters selected to stand for another term was relentlessly hounded out of the race.
They lied to protect him for the cause, and when the utility of that
lie abruptly expired, they tossed him overboard against his will. For the same
cause they nullified their own election. It's entirely reasonable for Republicans to react negatively
to all of this. It's not a freak out or a melt down.
It's an objection yet more ruthless dirty power above all, behindhavior by the Democrats,
who fancy themselves the civic minded, pro democracy party. They're frauds.
Pointing that out is accurate and fair. Democratic voters likely won't care that their
entire primary simply was disregarded after the fact, because they're on board for the
cause. But the maneuvering should serve. Let me underscore this to further motivate
Republican voters. The other side will do anything massive turnout is required to defeat
them. I also think democrats eager rejection of their own democratic process, hurling
fourteen point four million ballots into the sea because they were no longer seen as
helpful to the party's desired outcome undercuts the apocalyptic democracy messaging that proved rather effective
with independent voters in the twenty twenty two staving off of a red wave.
There's some political upside for Republicans to make this case, but belly aching about
it too strenuously for too long isn't productive. Make the argument, Let it
hit with those with whom it might be effective, then move on. Biden's
out Harris is in adjust. Secondly, over confidence is the enemy. Kamala
Harris can win the selection. I also thought Biden could still win. For
what it's worth. Trump's strong polling position arose from widespread unhappiness with the performance
of the Harris biden administration and the direction of the country, as well as
pervasive doubts about to have a deteriorating eighty one year old president's ability to do
the job now, let alone for another four years. The former vulnerability policy
applies to Harris in spades. The latter does not. The deflation of enthusiasm
and fundraising that accompanied Biden's dissent and subsequent infighting will largely be reversed. Let
me pause there and point out that's what's happening right now. The polling is
leaning toward Harris and the money is flowing into her campaign. Harris will pull
in powers of cash with megadowners back in the fold two. Much of this
is partisan catharsis and relief after weeks of acrimony and fear, but Biden's politically
lethal softness among Democrats may no longer be the emergency that it was. Democrats
are going to will themselves into a state of unity and enthusiasm. That's what's
going on now. This matters in the polling. As some disaffective and demoralized
party faithful and aligned Democrat demographic groups come back into the fold, a polling
bounce is possible, and I note that Reuter's poll, if not probable,
it matters more for fall turnout. The advantage of Democrats already held on ballot
operations have not disappeared. Neither have corresponding Republican weaknesses. Despite his base aderation
and clear uptick and favorability and retrospective job approval ratings, Donald Trump is not
a broadly popular figure. Harris can win, but she shouldn't. It's true
that Kamala Harris is famously toxic to work for, resulting in an exceptionally high
turnover within her political operation. Columnist George will once describe her cringe worthy words
solid as redolent of the student trying to offer a book report on a book
she hadn't read. By political standards, She's not a talented BS or perhaps
the hype machine going on into overdrive around her well with imbue Harris with a
new sense of confidence, and she'll manage to take her game to another level.
But her awkward behavior, meandering answers and anecdotes like this suggests she shares
critics doubts about her own abilities. I don't think it's smart for Republicans to
repeat gossip about her sexual history within the realm of California politics, or to
hammer on the theme that she's a DEI candidate, which now is a bad
word. By the way, it's true that Biden spoke publicly about selecting a
woman of colin or a woman of color, and then later made those identity
factors literal requirements for any Supreme Court nomination he might name. It's also true
that Harris is an underwhelming intellectual figure, having failed the bar exam on her
first try. But it's not as if Biden was some sort of brilliant leading
light. Either focusing too much on such things, mocking her signature, laugh
painting her as a lightweight, and noting her previous political failures won't be sufficient.
But it does happen to be true that Harris was so off putting and
uncompelling as a presidential candidate that her twenty twenty roun didn't even make it to
twenty twenty. A judgment was rendered by her own parties voters in her own
only real statewide run against the Republican she barely won in California, the GP
almost beat her in twenty ten because of her awful records, she ran away
with behind the rest of the Democratic ticket once again, that approach holds the
key to defeating her nationally, this time for all the marbles. Democrats rallied
Biden into twenty twenty because they became gripped by the fear that a left wing
nominee like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would lose to Trump once elected, Rather
than governing as a moderate, unifying agency agent of normalcy, that he presented
a voter's Biden or the people calling the shots at the White House raced leftward.
He's been lurching to the left even the last few weeks, embracing insane
notion of national rent control and SCOTUS reforms in a failed effort to save as
presidential candidate or campaign rather from Democratic vultures. In short, Biden governed more
like Harris campaigned before her bid came to a premature and inglorious end. She
was just worse and less appealing in the hard left wane than santers of Warren,
so her support collapsed in twenty nineteen. But thanks to that race,
she's on record in favor of defunding the police and empowering criminals, ending private
health insurance for one hundred million Americans, forcing taxpayers to fund illegal immigrants health
care plan, decriminalizing illegal immigration, destroying the filibuster to pass the radical ninety
three trillion dollars Green New Deal, and requiring taxpayers to fund elective abortions through
all nine months of pregnancy. She demanded a conversation about whether terrorists like the
Boston Marathon bomber should have the right to vote. If there was a hardcore
left wing idea in her basis bloodstream, she ingested it. She is far
to Biden's left. His failed policies would have been even worse If she'd gotten
her way, the administration would have been more openly hostile to Israel. And
then there's the border crisis. Harris owns a big chunk of Americans inflation plan
and had in hand in all the other Bid Harris messes, including on foreign
policy. But Biden's most egregious disaster has been the border, and she was
his designated borders are years of deflections, lives and excuses led to ten million
illegal crossings on border Harris's watch, including many violent criminals, gang members,
cartel figures, and suspected terrorists. The recent spate of violent crimes committed against
American citizen biollegal immigrants, and alarming ISIS and terrorism related threats of the border
lands at the doorstep of Kamala Harris. She was also among the most central
figures in the conspiracy of silence cover up about Biden's national security threatening frailty and
disorientation. She is one of Biden's most prominent and therefore dishonest validators on this
front. Kamala Harris will lie about anything for political purposes. She was second
in command of the failed Biden Harris administration, which resembled Harris's twenty nineteen vision
for the presidency more than it did Biden's twenty twenty pitch to voters, and
she's much too extreme for average voters. Lies about Biden, ownership of Harris,
Biden failures, and ideological extremism. Republicans should overwhelmingly focus on these themesmes
of which there are damning trails of recent video footage. Her talent deficiencies and
wins inducing blatherings will speak for themselves. I' llevi you with Harris receiving hosannas
from her natural political habitat as well as baseline Trump versus Harris poll taken before
Biden dropped out by a generally Democrat friendly polster. It looks similar to Biden's
general standing. Perhaps the shit huge shake up at the top of the ticket
will reshape the race as voters adjust to what's happened, or maybe not.
In the police sites the Quinnipiac poll which showed Trump at forty five, Harris
at forty one, and among independents, Trump at forty six and Harris at
thirty two. So this ground swell of fundraising and maybe a tip towards Harris
direction in the polls, I think, personally is a temporary phenomenon, and
I think Guy Benson's hit the nail on the head, focus on policy,
and continue to do so. You're in the winning side of the argument.
Five eighteen five KRC the talk station, feel free to call. First of
all, let me tell you about Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning. For more
than seventy five years, Zimmer family and an operaated third generation taking care of
its folks and doing a great job of it. They are Greater Cincinnati's leader

it's the perfect time to replace the air conditioner because you're going to get a
cool carrier comfort rebate with savings up to twenty one hundred dollars. Replace the
AC, get a carrier unit the folks that invented air conditioning, and do
that with confidence. Calling Zimmer scheduled appointment to learn more about the company.

Trump filed an FEC complained over the efforts to transfer Biden's ninety one million dollars
into Harris's campaign, A brazen money grabs what they called it. There are
rules regarding the transfer of those ones. We'll see whether he's successful on that
one. Something I think that is pointless and a wasted exercise and political posturing.
We now have a articles of impeachment filed against President Vice President Kamala Harris,
which are supposed to be filed today by Representative Andy Ogla's Republican out of
Tennessee. He is accusing Harris of breaching public trust and of willfully refusing to
uphold US immigration law, and two impeachment articles. Former article on public trust
accused Harris of having knowingly misled the public of the United States and Congress of
the United States, principally to obfuscate the physical and cognitive well being of the
President Joe Biden. Let us see here what are the grounds for impeachment of
a federal official According to the Constitution, it's treason, bribery, and other
high crimes and misdemeanors. I don't think negligence is a high crime, misdemeanor
or treason or bribery. Political posturing and obfuscation and making up stories about Joe
Biden is just politics. This, this to me, is a wasted exercise.
Don't go down this road. Let's stay on track, going back to
the comments that I just read. You got issues and policy you can focus
on all day long. We are on the winning side of the equation across
the board. Kamala Harris is an absolute as far to the left of the
Democratic Party leftist as she can possibly be, and yes, demonstrably a liar.
Her record speaks for itself. We don't need to get down this impeachment
road, which is not going to go anywhere considering the number of votes you
need to get an impeachment, considering the Senate is run by Democrats. Don't
make a circus side show out of this exercise. Five point twenty five.

thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday, you sir, Good morning,
Brian. Everything that you've been talking about with her and what the Republicans
need to do and specifically Donald Trump, just let her talk. Well,
yeah, like they did with Biden in the debate. You know, just
let her talk. She'll she'll even hang herself even more. I mean,
she's that's funny, said and he had an excuse, Mark, I was
thinking, as soon as you're done making your comments, I was gonna say,
just give her the rope. She'll hang herself. Something I've learned a
lot over the years of being on radio. Man, just let people talk,
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, she was on a sportcard I heard last
night of one hundred of the senators, she was number one hundred for she
was left of Bernie Sanders. Yeah, I brought that up yesterday. That
was the scorecard from twenty nineteen, and they rate the senators on political perspective
or political spec rman of one hundred, she was one hundred with right right
behind Bernie Sanders are in front of as you depending on how you're looking at
the poll. But yeah, demonstrably left one record. I mean it's coming
out all over. Her record speaks for itself. Well, I think the
Democrats are going to actually do something that's convention, and I don't think she
is going to be the nominee. I think they're going to have somebody another
team step forward that they nominate for somebody else that they nominate, and that
way they can say, well, you know it's not us, the delegates,
did their hands be clean of it, and they can insert somebody else.
I'm not convinced that she's going to be the nominee. Well, she's
just Forrtant go ahead. She just she's she's not qualmost she's been playing dress
up for four years as vice president. And now you know he's got this
piece trying to put forward, this this uh persona that you know, I'll
bring on Donald Trump. I'll debate him any time he couldn't debate an eighth
grader. Well, I know, let's just we'll let it play out.
But in the meantime, we have actual a background, a record. She's
been in politics, she was a senator, she was going to prosecutor on
California. We got a big record to run on and her own people.
It wasn't that long ago. She didn't even make it to the debate stage
because within the Democrat Party when she was running for president, no one wanted
her. I mean, you are you're witnessing the the the reality of hiring
someone based upon their physical attributes, not the qualifications for office. And this
is a product of their own doing this virtue signaling by selecting a black woman.
And you know, people are pointing out, you know, I don't
know what the definition of black anymore is She's Asian and jamaicanda whatever she is
meddling in. God, it's such a childish, childish perception to go through
life looking at physical attributes and characteristics over oh I'm sorry, merits. Let
it play out, folks, let it play out. I think we're on
solid ground as long as we stick to issues. Man sentence for deadly shooting
happening in Hamilton twenty twenty three. Romelo Devonte Matthews of Hamilton sentenced to twenty
to twenty five and a half years in prison after pleting guilty to involuntary manslaughter
with a firearm specification and filonious assault corner. The Butler County court records go
back to junea last year. Officers responded to Dayton Street near Dayton Lane Pub
about quarter till three in the morning for a port of a person's shot.
They found thirty four year old Tracy Miller with a gunshot wound and unconscious.
He died at ec Medical Center and Romelo Devonte Matthews is now being held accountable.
That's actually a pretty good sentence, considering well it is Butler County.

a new school year comes higher fees. Thanks Fox nineteen reporting Butler in Butler
County, Lacuta High School District recently finalized his plan for the return of instructional
fees, higher breakfast and lunch prices, and an increase for pay to participate
Corner to the treasurer Adam Zinc. We've been picking up fees through the esser
funds for the last four years. We initially planned on doing that for three
years, but we stretched it for a fourth. As the funding the federal
pandemic relief money, which recently came to an end, districts across Ohio got
nearly six and a half billion dollars. LA Cota got over twenty million of
that. Treasuresting said the money has allowed them to pick up the cost of
school supplies issuing identical kids for all students over the past few years. Depending
on gray level, parents will be asked to foot the bill with a return
of the instructional fees ranging anywhere from forty five to seventy nine dollars. Additionally,
fees to participate in extracurricular activity sports marching, band, color guard also
increasing, going from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and twenty five bucks
for students in junior high two hundred to three hundred for high schoolers, with

Joe, you go to the neighbor's door and you ring the doorbone and you
run away. You don't know what that is. That's a yes. I
will admit that I, as a very young child, did that, So
did everybody else in the neighborhood. Good Harrison, mame, we got a
main man arrested after you allegedly shot at a group of teenagers playing ding Dong
ditch, injuring one of them. Deputies responded to Harrison about one am Saturday,
numerous reports of gunshots and screaming. They got there to find blood on
the roadway as a teen walk into the hospital with a gunshot wound. Forty
say a group of team playing a prank ding Dong ditch at several houses in
the area. At the fourth house, the homeowner allegedly opened fire with a
nine millimeter handgun, firing about fourteen rounds, hitting one of the teams in
the leg. The team went to the hospital non life threatening injuries. Thankfully,
according to Cumberland County Sheriff Kevin Joyce said, in my mind, the
kids should not have been doing what they were doing. However, the individual
bringing a firearm and shooting at kids while they're fleeing is obviously a problem as
well. I would say that's an understatement. Aerien. The biggest douche of
the years. Douche thirty year old Vincent Martin, all the galaxies, There's
no bigger douche than you. He's facing multiple charges, including assault and reckless
conduct with a firearm. Joyce said, people are considering the fact that they
can defend the residents, their family, et cetera, and maybe taking it
a little over the limit in this particular case. Why is he filled with
understatement? He's were living in a world where it just seems like everybody is
on edge. True, which is why I'm making so much fun of this
idiot lighting up Frescos. Thank you, Joe Strecker. Ding Dong ditch is
not illegal. Sheriff says, there's still a lesson to be learned. The
innocent prank needs to be put on a shelf somewhere and never visited again.

has the Castle doctrine, you're entitled to use deadly force as someone breaks into
your home because it's a presumption that they're there to do you harm, grievous
bodily harm, or otherwise kill you. That justifies it. Someone is running
away, you have ended the threat. It no longer exists. You cannot
use deadly force. God, let's get that through our collective minds, folks.
Let's see what Mike's got this morning. Mike, thanks for indulging me
while I went on that tear to have you on the show. Brian about
the school fees in Lakota School District, Yeah, a couple of things about
that. You mentioned that it's also going to help. They had to cut
funding for marching band. They got to pay their fees again again, Lakota
East and West. What's the Hawaii on a marching band trip last year?
Really? Yeah? It was like thirty five hundred bucks a kid. Well,
it's just record pointed. I'm thinking that's either going to come at the
cost of the family whose child is going, or, as Joe pointed out,
because I think he's been down this road before, they do fundraisers to
fund the cost of the trip, right, But I mean that was on
top of their regular fees, which sounds like the pandemic money paid for their
regular fee. Well, you can certainly make that argument when the pandemic money
was paying for their fees. Yeah, right, no, no argument that
money is fungible right right now. The thing about the three lunches and stuff,
the free lunches have always been there. That kind a friend that works
in the school is just the biggest problem of religion. Parents are they're embarrassed
to fill out this form because they feel it like a stigma, even though
nobody's gonna nobody it except for you and the office that is. Yes,
I understand that. I understand that, and that's only been a problem for
a long time. You know, the stigma associated with well, it used
to be a stigma associated with receiving welfare benefices. There was a time in
the world where you know, people had a they would never take charity under
any circumstances. There was a question of pride and I think that's gone the
way of the Dodo quite honestly. But that's just me anyhow. But pandemic
money comes in and the fees that otherwise would have been paid by the families
are waived, and then you have to bring them back, and then probably
people are protesting the fact that there are any fees whatsoever. FIO forty five

after fleeing to a relatives home more than three miles away. Not clear how
she made it that far in her condition. Neighbors said what happened will stick

moderate injuries, according to the police. Details of those injuries or how they
were sustained not disclosed public information. Offer rese Harper speak with News it's a

smoking indoughs, sipping on gin and juice. He put the weed ahead of
the gin and jews. So I mean, obviously weed is his priority.
I think it always has been. Isn't he on record like having smoked?
It doesn't even normally smoke like eighty five joints or something a day. I
also read at one point I think he quits smoking weed. Either way,
Snoop Dogg equals weed in the hearts and minds of the vast majority of people.
Do you think he's qualified to carry the Olympic torch in the opening ceremony?
That's why it's in the stack of stupid guess yesterday. Calvin Cordizar Brotus
Junior you know miss Snoop dogg Anou's on social media, he is among the
torch bearers carrying the Olympic flame before the opening ceremony in Paris. According to
his ex post quote, you gots to do it? Will you be watching?
Hashtag follow the dog hashtag Paris Olympics. In another post, you ready
Paris Olympic Games. You dig two geez one love, referencing Bob Martley and
the Whalers final announcement post. It features at four screenshots, each with a
different headline announcing that the rapper was set to carry the torch before the opening
ceremony. Does he have to run or can he just walk with it?
I don't know. I just just don't see him as like a an athlete.
You think he's gonna light a blunt off of the torch? Joe that
actually that would be pretty funny. I'm gonna burn one down. Kentucky one
recently arrested for a vast array of child abuse related defenses, including keeping her
ten year old daughter locked in a dog cage for days on end. What
que up the award again? She can share it? Sheila Man, thirty
one years old, now standing one count each of strangulation in the first degree,
first degree criminal abuse involving a child under twelve, first degree unlawful imprisonment,
first degree wanton endangerment, third degree terroristic threatening, and failure to appear.
This accord of the Madison Kind of Detention Center records. Please seed abuse
in Madison County occurred during the several months spanning January first through early March of
this year. Police Chief Rodney Richardson, speaking with local news, the child,
who was under twelve years of age, had discussed to disclosed rather to
investigators than ms. Mann had locked her inside a dog kennel type cage for
two to three days at a time that would only allow her to exit that
cage just to use the bathroom. Defendant allegedly used her hands to briefly strangle
her daughter around the neck, the girl told police during a forensic bat examination.
Girl also said Man threatened to slit her throat. After the alleged strangulation
incident, The girl said she had trouble breathing in her throat hurt for several
days. Man also accused of throwing the girl face down unto the kitchen floor
and sitting on the child's back ledge. Abuse would continue for several minutes until
the mother tried the girl, tied the girl's hands together behind her back with
twine. Twine also used to keep the dog cage locked on occasion, according
to the girl. The alleged victim said she attempted to escape on several occasions,
but was never able to do so. Accused mother appears intent on telling
her story. During an interview with WKYT, Man denied the allegations against her,
said the claim comes from a misunderstanding about the situation where she herself was
actually the victim. Defendant said the incident occur. Incidents occurred in near Right,
Georgetown. According to Man speaking with the TV, that's not that,
No, that's not true. That's not true at all. I have never
done anything like that. I've always had a job with caretaking. Man's daughter
now being cared for by foster parents. Man booked on Monday, being held
on a fifty thousand dollars bond. We'll just let that one sit there,

that Happy Wednesday, folks. Brian Thomas right here. Thank you again to
jes Jrekker for putt a smile on my face and for lining up Ken Blackwell.
Ken's gonna join the program in one hour, seven o five. He's
a member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. He will offer his thoughts on
the Biden Kamala Harris situation and his thoughts on picking JD. Vance Rick Robinson
with the book nineteen sixty eight, a Primer for Understanding baby Boomers. He's
joining us at eight oh five and sadly saw an article yesterday in the Wall
Street Journal about it's the end of the baby Boomers. They're starting to all
retire. U baby boom went to sixty four, and that means the whole
bulk of the baby boomers now reached retirement age. And the sad reality of
the article, it's not necessarily important relative just to the the idea that they're
all retiring, is that a huge, huge percentage of baby boomers don't have
anything saved by way of retirement, so they're going to be relying exclusively on
Social Security. If you're looking into your future and finding yourself in that situation,
I would change trajectory and start putting away something for your retirement because we
all know sois Security is going to run out of money at some point,
and it was never intended to provide one hundred percent of your retirement needs.
Check the amount of money that you're scheduled to receive and recognize that you're probably
not even going to get that five three seven, eight hundred and eight two
three Taco Time, five fifty on at and t phones. Oh, and
I just have to note that is it? Is it common hella Kamala?
I don't want to be accused of of like being a racist or something like
that, because apparently pronouncing her name incorrectly is part of a hate campaign being
waged by the right wing, so say at MSNBC's Morning Joe co host Mika
Brazinski. She claims that the conservative folks out there in the world have initiated
what she described as, in her words, a hate campaign against the presumptive
presidential nominee. Hmm, I've heard from inside Republican circles and right wing media
that they hate campaign against Kamala Harris. Is the gun You'll notice they purposely
pronounce her name wrong. They say, you know, I don't know how
to pronounce her name. Honestly, I don't have any hatreds or Kamala Harris.
Is it Kamala or Kamala? I don't know, Joe, do you
know? No, thank you, You've made me feel better anyway. I'm
sorry. Apologies to miss Harris. Let's call it that, and then we
can move on assume me, thank you, Okay. Attacks DEI attacks on
Harris are the equivalent of the N word. Representative Maxwell Frost, Democrat out
of Florida, said that yesterday CNN's newsroom, some say Kamal Harris, whatever
name is, miss Harris a DEI hire, which in his words, is
offensive. Frost said, he's going to continue to use all these racist dog
whizzles throughout the campaign. We're gonna see it from Trump, We're gonna see
it from JD. Van, So we're gonna hear see it from a lot
of their surrogates. In fact, here we go to our local state senator.
Just yesterday, one of the surrogates was saying, if we don't win,
we're gonna have a civil war to get our agenda through a civil war.
So this is ouranization. This is a right wing campaign that's going to
be racist, misogynistic against the vice president, and we're going to stand on
the issues. Good, you go ahead and stand on the issues, and
you go ahead and throw these ridiculous assertions against us, much in the same
way you can't say Donald Trump's name without using yes, racist and misogynist.
Now, it's everybody. If you are a Donald Trump supporter, mainly because
you believe in his policies like, for example, a secure border, there's
one that makes you a racist and misogynist. Whenever you hear DEI, I
want you to think about the N word. I want you to think about
racial slurs. That's what they actually mean, he said. And here's the
fun part. FROs said, I have a good relationship with the congressman.
I think sometimes though he does use rhetoric as that is racist. Ready for
this, and whether people know it's racist or not, I'm here to tell
them that it's racist, and I hope they won't use that rhetoric anymore.
So your intent doesn't matter. That's obviously what he's saying. Moving over MSNBC.
It's always MSNBC, isn't it. They come up with the strangest conclusions.
Joy Reid, who's famous for her crazy accusations and assertions. Quote,
given just the stratospheric entrance of Vice President Kamala Harris whatever name is into the
presidential campaign and she has now secured enough delegates to become the nominee, you
are going to look real crazy. Being on the other side of that line,
particularly as a person of color, but really, as anyone who claims
to have any connection to the culture, You're gonna look really weird and real
lonely on that side, she said, You're gonna look crazy being on that
side. Given the cultural phenomenon of Vice President Kamala Debbie A, she's about
to make history. She's about to become the first woman president. The door
needs to close behind amber Rose, and she looked crazy over there. Referring
to amber Rose. I mean, I don't even know who amber Rose is.
He to look her up. Amber Rose does not subscribe to the moniker
black. She is a person of color. She refers to herself as biracial,
which term would apply to Kamala Harris, and is Kamala Harris black?
I'm confused on this. This is not Brian Thomas being racist. This is
me confused by the rhetoric. Isn't she Asian in Jamaican? Maybe that qualifies
as black. I don't know. I know out in the world, you
can be a white person to behead of the NAACP by walking around and spending
your whole life saying that you're black, even though objectively you don't look like
a person of color. That confused me. That was coming back a few
years. But joy Read goes on, she's racially ambiguous, referring again back
to Amber Rose. She's racially ambiguous. I don't want to say that she's
black, because she said she's not. I don't want to say she's to
say this black woman, this woman who is of whatever race that she has
claimed. She said she's not black. But the RNC brought somebody whose career
is based on black culture. Her whole culture came from black culture, even
though she said she's not a black person herself. Well, you know what
the word I'm reading every time joy Read out does the word black, I'm
referring to of course Democrats. You heard it from Joe Biden's mouth. If
you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black. So it is not a color
thing. This is what I'm reading here. This is the only conclusion I
can draw. You have a woman who claims be biracial is in fact part
black, but she doesn't identify or say that she is black out loud.
She chooses to identify herself by a more specific terminology. Barack Obama could have
very well have done that correct having a white mother and a black father,
he chose to take on black as his identity. Joy Reid doesn't go down
that road, obviously not choosing to go with the racial identity politics. But
you see, Joy Reid won't acknowledge that she is basically concluding because Joy reed,
because amber Rose rather has gone Republican, that she no longer can be
black? Is this not just absolutely batcrap insane? And for her part,
amber Rose replied, Hey, Joy Reid, I've never said I wasn't black.
I said I identify as by Rachel. I'm not going to invalid my
quotes. A little sick should be there. I'm not going to invoid my
white father to make you feel more comfortable. Stop being a race baiter.
Your president does enough race bating after all. Ooh, going back to my
point about Joe Biden saying what he said out loud, I'm sorry, just
bring all this up to illustrate the just absolute abhorrent nature of this allocating us
into these different columns. You're black, air go, you must be Democrat?
Really? Humh, who's the racist? Six fifteen fifty five KCD talk
station. And of course, if you are black, by all objective standards,
and you say you're a Republican or that you're not a democrat. Of
course you are no longer in the bucket that has black people in it.

maybe put a little money away to do the roof replacement when it ultimately is
needed. But if you do need work, here in the best possible hands.

That's why I always recommend checking their website out and look at some of
the projects they've done, custom metal work, slate and adobe. They do
commercial roofs, residential rous, any kind of roof you know, like metal
roofs. But if you need a new shingled roof, they're going to upgrade
you automatically to the certaintyed, certified pro fifty year shingle that comes included fifty

to say in the matter. Maybe because the situation and our foreign relations.

Davis on The Deep Dive. You can get the podcast if you have KC
dot Comics allows me to pivot over to Walter Russell Meade on that point.
This whole campaign's got to be about issues. Yesterday's journally wrote when Prime Minister
Benjamin Yahuo addressed to the Joint System of Congress today, Kamala Harris not going
to be there despite having become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. This is a
great this is a great illustration of decision making folks. She decided that an
earlier commitment to the Zeta Phi Beta Sororities Convention in Indianapolis mattered more than a
speech by the leader of one of America's closest allies at a time of conflict
and crisis in a region involving vital US interests. Harris expected to meet in
net Yahoo during his visit to Washington, but the snub is unmistakable, fueling
rumors of a rift between the Harris and Biden approaches to the Middle East.
On March fourth, NBC News report of the National Security Council officials toned down
their words a draft of remarks from Miss Harris that she was going to give
on the humanitarian situation in Gaza this week on the Journal reported Wall Street Journal
report that other Fishers could appear. Observers focus on any signs of Biden Harris
tension as the election approaches. This scrutiny comes in an awkward moment, so
ugly truths are beginning to make themselves felt in Washington. The dangers of American
involvement in a wider war across the Middle East is dangerously high. Iran has
never been closer to a nuclear weapon than it is today, and American officials
are worrying that Vladimir Putin, as part of his anti Western campaign, might
help Iran across the nuclear finish line faster than US or Israeli officials thought even
possible. Despite repeated warnings, Iran hasn't rained in its hoothy proteges in Yemen,
and Washington's patients is wearing thin. The closing months of the Biden administration
could see US forces engage in direct attacks on Iranian naval vessels or against Iran
itself. People in government, former officials, and informed deservers tell me that
the pressure inside the US government for military strikes against Iran is building. Further
hoofy provocations are likely to prompt dramatic lea stronger response team. Biden's approach the
Middle East hasn't satisfied many Republican critics, but it represents a significant evolution from
former President Obama's approach. In the Obama years, the goal of American Middle
East policy was to achieve regional stability through daytunt with Iran. Iran optimists hope
the nuclear deal would be the first of a series of agreements that would gradually
ease hostilities between Washington and Tehran and reduce conflict across the region. Team Biden
no longer sees this as viable. Iran's rejection of President Biden's offer to re
enter the nuclear deal was sobering. Iran's expansion of support for proxies and tarifts
across the region hammered the message home. Iran wants a hostile relationship with both
the US and Israel. However, often Charlie Brown takes a run at the
football. Lucy's going to snatch it away. This, I think is reflective
of a demonstrative of a weak US foreign policy. The realization led t Biden
to re examine its attitude towards both Saudi Arabia and Israel. If Iran is
a reconcile albough, the only route to stability the Middle East involves a partnership
between Israel and conservative Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
I love this point he makes, embarrassing as it may be for Biden Knights
to follow a policy akin to Donald Trump's Abraham Accords, the US needed to
work with regional players who agreed with us on the basics. Promoting strategic reconciliation
between Israel and Saudi Arabia and enshrining that cooperation and a security treaty between Washington
and Riod became the principal goal of Biden era Middle East policy aka Donald Trump's
policy extended dave forma tarattack on Israel. Team Biden believed that the goal was
within reach. Since then, the administration's objective in the region has been to
insulate progress on a new security architecture from the political fallout of the guys of
war. While many pro Israel observers wish that mister Biden's support for arm battled
ally had gone further, the effort to safeguard the Saudi negotiation has been largely
successful. Key Arab states believed that their own economic security interest depend on strategic
alignment with both Israel and the US. As one senior Saudi observed to an
American interlocateur. Ever, even a coalition of all the other countries in the
world couldn't offer Saudis the economic, technological and security benefits they can gain through
deep cooperation with the United States. That's good news. The chief political obstacles
of this realignment are not the Middle East. They are in America, a
loose coalition of pro Palestinian activists, Muslim Brotherhood supporters, Iron sympathizers, Arab
democracy advocates, proponents of Obama style Iran First Middle East policy, and isolationists
opposed the US Saudi security treaty that would anchor the alignment. Since treaties require
two thirds majority in Cenate for ratification, minority opposition must be taken seriously without
the president's strong support. No US Saudi treaty would pass president strong support.
That's a suggestion you might want to think forward to Kamala Harris being president can
be higher disrupting the US, Arab, Israeli and Tante is Iran's objective and
also important to Russia and China. All the revisionist powers loth The idea of
the US led Alliance system stabilizing the Middle East, a long term partner of
the Gulf Arab and their financial muscle with America and Israeli capitalism and technology would
tilt the global balance of power against the revisionists. This is where the Vice
President's fealty to Zeta phive Beta matters, rightly or wrongly. Key Arab leaders
may interpret her snub of mister Mettanahu at Netnyahu is evidence that Harris sympathizes with
the opponents of a Saudi treaty and that her Middle East policy would differ significantly
from mister Biden's. That in turn would make it harder for Biden negotiators to
get it yes, either about Gaza ceasefire or in the final details of the
Saudi deal. It may also encourage the Iradians, sensing weakness and division within
the administration, to turn up heat on mister Biden, increasing the chance of
his shooting war in the Gulf. What a vice presidents do doesn't normally matter,
But Kamala Harris is playing in the big leagues now. The whole world
is watching, and she needs to get it right. And I don't think
snubbing that in Yahoo was the right decision to make. Again, she's dissing
the leader of one of our greatest Middle East allies for a sorority party.

kamala right. That's the difference that they're talking. Okay, right now,
I'll tell you what. Now, every time I read it, my eyes
looking at it, I pronounce it rome. See. But I agree with
that. All right, let me finish this. Let me finish this now
when I've learned to pronounce it when i'm speaking it, but everything I read
my mind pronounce it Rome. And it's also the same way with the one
down in Georgia. Her name is Funny Willis instead of Fanny. The same
way when I read it I read fantasy. Yeah, you know, I've
learned to accept it. It's funny. It seems odd because I don't know

I have mispronounced so many names over my lifetime, and either on or off

And I never mean anything by it. Quite often, James, I will
joke about it. I'm reading some foreign name from some foreign land. It's
got nine thousand consonants in one vowel. I'm like, I'm giving it my
best shot, and somewhere in that foreign land they're mispronouncing Brian Thomas. I
don't take it personally, how could I. That's what the joke is about,
someone saying mispronouncing your name is racist. You're a man of color,
You're a black man. I've met you, Mississippi. James. You don't
mean anything racist by your mispronunciation of her name, and neither do I until
today. You're the one that confirmed for me it is indeed Kamala, not
Kamala. But I've read it both ways, I've said it both ways,
and I never intended anything by it whatsoever. It has nothing to do with
racism, and that's the point I was trying to drive home earlier on And
the fact that some people are saying it is racist is to me an absolute
ridiculous suggestion. There's no intense behind it at all. Thank you, James,

Yesterday, Bradley Jay, the Washington d C Reporter. So thoughts on Kamal
Harris and Joe Biden and that one too. If you have Curiously dot com
over the phones, I go, let's get CJ's call. CJ. Thanks
for calling this morning. Good to hear from you today. Oh, thank
you. You know a couple of things about Kamela. My family's been in
California since the eighteen thirties, in fact, in the northern part. I
always say him so California. And my great grandmother was born on not very
farm when it was still working very far. Wow. This woman, she
did not even identify Hardley as being black until she ran for attorney general.
She identified as being Indian and now and then once you be kat and started
running for attorney general, she wanted to get that identification out there. But
in rules of radicals, the first rule of a radical is you make your
opponent live by their own rules. So she wants to make us live by
the rules of race and how we deal with race. She has a record
of racism that goes tremendously deep. You taught you know, Tolci Gabbert in
twenty nineteen took a B two to her campaign when she talked about all the
people that she put in jail who were black for smoking marijuana. Yeah.
Well, she also put a mom in jail due to truancy because her daughter
had sickle celeninia and had to miss a lot of school. And even though
it was a documented case with sickle celeninia, I believe she had a five
little four plan to excuse those absences. She went ahead with the prosecution and
put this mom in jail for her daughter having sickle seleninia. That needs to
be shown all the time, because if she wants to make us live by
this rule of racism, make her own that. Yeah, I think that's
fine. Absolutely. I mean, her record speaks for itself, and it
is not a record that I personally didn't necessarily be proud of. And of
course her left wing policies and everything, and this is part of it.
This whole this racial baiting that goes on incessantly. You also point out the
fluidity the whole idea. It's like gender fluidity, isn't it CJ. At
any given moment in time, depending on your circumstances, you can declare that
you were one thing or another. I mean, isn't she really if I
can coin a term Jamasian? Right, she's Asian and Jamaican. And this
is where my part of my confusion comes to. Barack Obama was a head,
had a mom who was white and a father was black, and he
always professed to he is a black man. I don't care necessarily how you
label yourself, but at least that Amber Rose woman is being honest when she
says she's biracial, because she's given credit to having one white parent and one
black parent. That seems to be definitionally accurate anyway. But then again,
I'm not somebody who wants to put people in buckets based upon their racial identity.
And it is identity racism. It's not actual sort of objective decision making
that goes on. I don't know this absolutely. And my children are biracial,
and let me tell you something. I tell them they're biracial. You're
biracial. You're not necessarily this or that. You are you. And that
is something that we as Americans have to understand, is that we are more
of a biracial nation today than we are of any other race. And we
need to accept that and own it. And I let my kids know,
like, hey, Barack Obaba. I may not agree with him politically,
but you know what, it can show you that you can be successful as
a biracial individual in this country. Yes you can. You can be successful
regardless of your race, creed, racial identity, gender identity. Even you
can be successful. Look at all the Biden administration appointees. You can be
across the entire spectrum, the entire spectrum. Appreciate it. I mean,
I just you know, I guess I'm more concerned or wondering about the content
of your character. Gee, can I go back to Martin Luther King Junior?
Content of character, which would include your political affiliation, your ideology,
how you treat other people. Maybe your religion might factor into that, but
you know what, we don't live in a theocracy, so that shouldn't matter
to anybody. The religion someone practices. They can't in the United States of
America, shove it down your throat. So what ultimately matters when considering a
politician where they stand on the issues, period, end of story. What
they're going to do, what's the direction of the country, that's the important
thing. What are they going to be voting on? Doesn't matter what they
look like, damn it, because you know what, some of the biggest
socialists out there are a bunch of white people, and I don't want anything
to do with them. There you go, isn't that the truth? All
these you know, I guess wearing their heart on their sleeve. Woke a
white suburban college educated women out there in the world. Anyhow, appreciate your
comments, CJ. I certainly do, just on a bit of a tear
this morning, because this kind of stuff just really irks me. And you
know, that's what's dominating the news this morning. I'm staring at all this
important stuff going on in the world, and I bring this up because I
find it so utterly preposterous, absolutely preposterous, and it is a major distraction,
but major distraction away from the stuff that should really matter to everybody.
Going back to the contented character the issues, A read guy Benson's analysis,
don't ever think it. Republicans, The case against Kamala Harris is straightforward.
His point is none of us should be dwelling on this kind of stuff.
We should be focusing on the issues. And her record speaks for itself.
Defunding the police, empowering criminals, ending private health insurance, forcing taxpayers to
fund illegal immigrant healthcare plans, decriminalizing illegal immigration, destroying the Senate filibuster to
pass the gazillion dollar Green New Deal, requiring taxpayers to fund elective abortion through
the nine to all nine months of pregnancy, Whether terrorists like the Boston Marathon
bombers should have a right to vote, vote, It's all hardcore, harder
core left than Biden was ever manipulated into getting into. These are her positions
on her own. This isn't Barack Obama whispering her ear telling her she needs
to go far left on this. This preceded her occupying the vice presidential residents.
This is when she was out in California, this is when she was
a senator. It's her record. Let's run against it. Six forty six

Director Kimberly Chetter resigned finally yesterday see Bob Menendez, Joe Finally. I think
we're there. Was probably Vegas odds on who was going to step down first.
Chidler Menendez anyway. Quote, I take full responsibility for the security lapse
in a lot of recent events. It is with a heavy heart that I
have made the difficult decision to step down as your director. Well, it
shouldn't have been difficult. If history's any guide, any human being who's been
in that position, he's had a breakdown like that, quits right away out
of embarrassment, out of respect for the office, in an effort to rehabilitate
the office that you embarrassed, which is hilarious. Get a load of this.
The Secret Service is hiring Wall Street journalists. How will the Secret Service
rebuild in the wake of this catastrophic failure. The agency might argue that it's
striving to bulk up, adding personnel needed to thwart assassins. On Monday,
however, the Secret Service advertised to openings. The position can be found in
the US government's employment portal. If you're looking for a job, it's USA
Jobs Joe. Those hired, we've paid one hundred and thirty nine three hundred
ninety five dollars annually. Why is it for concounter sniping, evasive driving?
Nope, lead public affairs specialist. Here's what they do. Public affairs specialists
monitor print and broadcast media for both positive and negative news coverage that translate the
basic communication intent of the Secret Service leadership into methods and techniques that could be
applied in standard and non standard public affairs programs. You got that, Joe,
I think you're qualified. Well, there you go, prioritizing the obviously
the role in the role of public service over the actual work that the Secret
Service should be doing, which is protecting lives. Salaries for agents who do
protect lives and put their own lives on the line. You're ready. You
start at sixty three three and eighty one bucks, which is left than less
than half of what public affairs specialists get paid. The journal point gasoline on
the fire. Although the Secret Service opened itself up to that criticism because they
just posted the two jobs available there and in other Secret Service related news,
they have advised Donald Trump to stop holding or hold fewer outdoor rallies. That's
the answer to the problem and the breakdown of the Secret Service. Wellday,
what just don't hold any rallies? Donald Trump's get some huge crowds. Partly
there was one hundred thousand people at a May event in Wildwood, New Jersey,
which is amazing considering it's New Jersey. Fifty thousand to fifty five thousand
at the July second rallying pick in South Carolina, obviously a huge turnout in
the one which almost resulted in Donald Trump losing his life. And of course,
indoor events a lot safer because you got to go through a limited number
of doorways where you can have magnetometers and checking people out. That all makes
sense, and I understand it, but I guess this is an acknowledgment.
The Secret Service is incapable of providing sufficient coverage for large crowds of people outdoors,
and obviously that translates over to the higher offices as well. Six point

We're gonna get his thoughts on Biden, Kamala Harris and his thoughts about
JD Vance being picked for the vice presidential choice for Donald Trump. That's Ken
Blackwell, after the top of the UR News. I sure if you can
stick around. There we go again, another news update. We're gonna get
all the facts. An ear full of information at the top of the hour,
I'm gonna break it down fast fifty five krs the talk station this report
is Soto six fifty five KRC Talk Station. A very happy Wednesday to you
made extra special. You know him. He was the mayor of Cincinnati,
he was a treasurer for the State of Ohio, and he was Secretary of
State for the State of Ohio. He's got more hats on his head than
you can check a stick at, including a board member of the Public Interest
Legal Foundation. Welcome back to the fifty five KRSE Morning Show. Ken Blackwell,
it is a distinct pleasure to have you on the program. Brian is
always good to be with you, sir. Remind my listeners about the Public
Interest Legal Foundation what it is you do there real quick. Well, we
just fight for election intiquity, and we've won a lot of cases that deal
with voted voting roles. We have, in fact, you know, we've
made it fight to make it easy to vote, hard to cheat. Love
hearing that and further the points we're talking about today. Let's start with Kamala
Harris. It looks like a little bit of cup to Taz going on there.
President Biden fought to keep his spot. He of course got the votes
in the primaries. There's fourteen point four million Democrats out there that went for
Joe Biden. They don't get what they wanted. This is and for the
party that attacks Donald Trump as being the anti democratic guy and someone who's a
threat to the very foundation of our being. It looks as if though the
Democrats doing it again, because it happened before. To Bernie Sanders ask him
about it, they do whatever the hell they want. What's your reaction to
this, Well, I've been up close and personally I know that the cabal
that runs the DNC our masters at green lighting. Okay, they will in
fact use projection, They will project on us what they are actually doing.
And so you know, I think there's a little bit more transparency than they
want it. But they accomplished their go to sort of kick Joe to the
curb and appoint the queen. Well, I love the way you phrase that.
A little bit more transparent than they wanted anyhow, but she is Do
you believe that she was? Like if you were in the Democrats side of
the camp, and I know that's tough for you to do, to put
yourself in that position. But is she their best bet? I know they're
stuck with her. We get the whole female, black woman of color,
whatever arguments, and they can't get rid of her because it's going to make
them look like what they accuse the Republicans of being. But she is as
far left as anybody in the Democrat A Party. Well, yeah she is.
I mean she is the most radical presidential candidate that we've seen in my
lifetime. The other thing that is hard for them to escape is that she
is tied at the hip to all of the bad Biden Harris policies that American
voters are going to come out and push against, whether it's our open border,
whether it's voters without borders, whether it's prices or groceries and gas.
I mean, she just can't untangle herself from those bad, unpopular policies.
But they will, in fact try to again change the mix of voters who
turn out. They're going to lean in. They're going to try to plug
up the holes among minorities and the young people that Biden was experiencing. But
our job is to make sure that folks understand that she was the borders are
and therefore she owns, the failed policies, the open borders, the influx
of not only bad drugs, but bad people. And that is not saying
that every every alien who came across the border illegally as a innately bad person.
But I can tell you what, there have been a lot of bad
people who have crossed the border. Yes, were in fact doing ready to
break havoc in our American constitutional republic without question. And you can't point to
a better political argument for the Republican side because the Republicans obviously are campaigning on
a secure border. Donald Trump at least has four years of demonstrating the border
can be far more secure than it has been for the past three and a
half. It's Blue Democrat cities constituents that are pulling their hair out over the
living the reality of this influx. They are running out of resources. The
things that they seek from government, these Blue Democrat voters are being taken away
from them because there's only a finite amount of dollars and it's all going to
service the immigrant community. That's a losing argument for them. You're absolutely right,
right, Let me just put on my political analysts had Yeah, I
go into Fox and your show and others to give a political perspective. I
talk to a lot of the leading posters in the country and whether it's McLaughlin,
Resmusin and others. What we do know and we can't change this reality
is that President Trump has a high floor and a low and a low siling.
What she has is a high floor and her ceiling because of all of
the apparatus she has on her side, is not quite as low as as
the US as President Trump's. So, you know, I tried to concient
folks on our side to say this is not going to be an eighty four
Reagan light blowout and where we went out, this is going to be a
hand to hand political battle in five to seventh states at the precinct level,
and so we can't lose. You know, we had a successful convention,
we have great candidates, but we're still in a very big fight where where
it really turns on uh turnout and make ensure that we have eyeballs in every
precinct across the country, but particularly in the five to seven states and the
key nineteen counties where this election can be won or lost within very tight margins.
So advice to my Republican listeners. Obviously is get out and vote and
spread the word that everyone needs to get out and vote. But in terms
of arguing over the politics of this, over the benefits of Trump, over
Harris, we need to focus on the issues. We need not focus on
the giggling and the word sounds that she comes up with. That's got some
milogy and it's demonstras of who she is as a human being in her ability
to actually speak on the issues on the fly, but more fundamentally her record.
We can run on her record. Oh absolutely, Again, I will
repeat she is tied to the hip of the filling economic policies. She is,
in fact the green new deal of the mountains of red tape. Uh.
The regulations that they want to put on on enterprise and and and stifled
growth. Uh. And when you stifle growth and job creation of meaningful,
well paying jobs. You heard the working middle class in America. Uh.
And I would just say uh to anybody who is uh embraced as America as
an opportunity society. Uh. Vice President Harris Uh, the running mate uh,
the co palate of the Biden mess. It's not your friend. Amen
to that? And can you imagine a Harris sort of Pritzker type tick and
what that would mean to America. Lord Almighty Ken Blackwell, I used to
live in Chicago, Man, I know about the Pritzker family. Uh well,
let me know. Yeah, let me let me visit. Pivot up
real quickly here to jd vance. Now he was selected as the vice presidential
running for Trump under different circumstances. Now the circumstances changed and it's president or
Harris running for president. Does that change the dynamic in the race? Is
it? Does that make Levance a lesser of choices? Or could there be
somebody better? Or we still we're still on solid ground. I think we're
I think we're still on solid, solid solid ground. Uh. You know,
one, he can prosecute the case against her and the Biden Harris uh
policy mess. Uh as well as anybody uh in in in the country.
Uh. He in fact, is a particularly effective candidate uh in uh Michigan,
Wisconsin. Uh And Uh, I think he's very effective out in Arizona.
But you know, Pennsylvania. We he's going to be the guy making
making the case. It's going to be fascinating. I Mean, the the
one pick up that they might have is that I just think he would have
blown hairs out of the water and a vice presidential debate. They probably will,
They probably will improve their their their competitor. But I still think he's
He's bright, he's energetic, he's articulate. He comes with a life experience
that a lot of folks can relate to. Amen that and Ken Blackwell,
very briefly, I know you're out of time before we part company. Today,
the Democrats keep bringing up on a federal election level the issue of abortion,
and everybody's outspoken on it. But I keep screaming at the top of
my lungs. The Supreme Court has said this is not within the confines of
the Constitution. It is extra constitutional. It's Tenth Amendment stuff. It belongs
to the states. Now, shouldn't federal level candidates keep throwing that back in
anybody's face who talks about a federal ban, because the Supreme Court would find
that unconstitutional based on this the ruling over turning Roe v. Wade. Yeah,
the way I've placed it in the in arguments, if that one,
we have to understand that now it's the time to embrace the hearts at the
precinct, the local level, the community level, with the family. At
the state level, we in fact have to understand that we spent over fifty
years fighting to make sure that we got a Supreme Court that could give us
a decision like the one that we got. So now let's not wring our
hands and waste our time that's engaged. And what happens, Brian, is
that making this case at the state and county level plays into our strategy of
winning this at the precinc and county and state level. There you go at
the state level, Ken Blackwell, God bless you, surf to spending time
my listeners. Keep up the great work, my friend. I'll look forward
to him at back on the fifty five Carosee Morning Show as soon as possible,

I stook Joe opined that he might light a blunt with the Olympic torch
and that would actually be a beautiful, beautiful thing to behold. It would
be worth watching the opening ceremoniy yeh, yes, yes it is. Thank
you to Ken Blackwell for joining the program and giving us some sound political advice.
It's the issues. It's the issues. It's the issues. It's the
economy stupid. Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
The answer, according to CNN is no. Got. A new CNN pull
indicated that nearly forty This is an insane figure. Forty percent of the United
States adults are constantly or frequently worried that their family's income will not cover their
expenses, described as a notable rise from December twenty one, when only twenty
eight percent of adults had the same concerns. That will be the inflation problem
we're all facing right now, they said a copa financial pressures, Americans are
reducing their spending on entertainment, food, gas, increasingly relying on credit cards,
and of course with the credit cards comes the insanity of the interest rate
you're paying with that also up precipitously. Among sixty nine percent Center respondents reporting
cutting back on extras and entertainment, sixty eight percent have altered their grocery purchases
to afford essentials, thirty seven percent of Americans have resorted to taking on credit
card debt to cover necessities, and thirty five percent of taken extra work or
a second job. Are those numbers good for Democrats? I know it's always
easy to blame any given administration for the problems of the country facing on an
economic level. Quite often over the years, at least, it's been my
experience that you really can't point to any single or thing any given administration has
done. But in this particular case, you can. Coming off the pandemic.
The Democrats poured gasoline on the inflationary fire by pumping in additional trillions of
dollars into the economy. Running the printing press is inflationary. It's simple,
absolute economic fact. This is not debatable. It's fact. We've got a
million illustrations over the world's history of countries who have tried doing that running the
printing press and have run themselves out of existence. But one of the problems
you face before you run yourself out of existence is inflation. You know,
like one hundred thousand percent inflation. You know, the Zimbabwean currency with billion
dollar notes to buy a loaf of bread, and even that won't cut it.
You know, it seems like it's an impossibility. Oh my god.
The United States fiat currency, it's the most reliable. Blah blah blah.
Yeah it may be, but it's the best looking ugly person in the group.
Just because we're perceived is better and more reliable doesn't mean we're on a
trajectory that's sustainable. We clearly are not. But in the meantime, we're
living the inflationary realities brought to you. In large part, I would argue
by the Biden administrations pouring again gasoline on an inflationary fire. Use that as
an argument against folks who might want to continue down the same path a lah
Kamala Harris seven twenty five fifty five kres of the talk station. Affordable imaging
can be affordable speaking of the economy and things that are expensive. Imaging at
a hospital is by definition expensive. I think you can say objectively, five
thousand dollars for any procedure at a hospital seems outrageous, doesn't it. But
when you're talking about a CT scan, I mean seriously five grand. No,
it's four hundred and fifty dollars. A CT scan with a contrast is
six hundred dollars. That's if you go to Affordable Imaging Services MRIs with the
contrast are six hundred and forty five. You may pay thirty five hundred dollars
or even more at a hospital, and you know what, You may get
more than one bill. You get the imaging bill, You get a separate
bill for the Board Certified radiologist report. You may get a separate bill for
something else. One price, low includes all, every includes everything. In
other words, no ups, no extras, Like Earl Shib used to say
so. Six hundred dollars gets you the imaging with the with the contrast and
the board certified radiologist report for a CT scan. I have listeners who let
me know they have saved literally thousands of dollars out of their own pockets.
So call them up. You have a choice when it comes to your medical
care. It's Affordable Imaging Services at five one three seven, five three eight
thousand, seven five three eight thousand online Affordable Medimaging dot com seven point thirty
here fifty five ker ce De talk station. Very happy Wednesday too. You
got some local stories to dive on INTI, but if you prefer, feel
free to call. Got some topic it's on your mind? Maybe the US
Secret Service director finally bowing out it. See it's hilarious. Bob Menendez beat
her to the punch. Anyway, I didn't drag it out much longer.
The well, the end was obviously in everyone's headlights, so drug it out
a little bit too long, reducing her credibility to zero. Over to the
local stories. One thousands of students at Lakota High School. Well, they're
facing higher fees this year. Apparently the COVID money's run out. And Butler
kind of code the local school district recently finalized as plan for the return of
instructional fees, higher breakfast than lunch prices, and an increase for pay to
participate things like band and sports cord to their treasurer quota by Fox nineteen.
We've been picking up the fees through ESSER funds, which are the federal pandemic
relief money that came to an end. Anyway, them passing along. Those
are passing along the benefit of these ser funds for the last four years,
he said. We initially planned doing that three years, but stretched it into
the fourth year. That was because they got a sizable chunk of cash from
these SER funds. Districts got six point five billion dollars across the Ohio,
which, going back to my comment earlier about throwing cash at a problem lit
inflationary reality. Anyway, La Coda got just over twenty million dollars treasures zincs
to the money had allowed them to pick up the cost of all school supplies
issuing identical kids for all students over the past few years, depending on grade
level. Parents now going to be asked to foot the bill with return of
instructional fees ranging anywhere between forty five and seventy nine dollars. Also, fees
to participate in extracurricular activities sports marching, band, color guard, et cetera.
Those are increasing, going from one fifty to two hundred and twenty five
dollars for students in junior high and from two hundred to three hundred dollars for
high schoolers with cap for families zinc again talking to Fox nineteen's part of this,
part of that has become kind of the demand for the level of performance
we have within all our programs. The cost of supplemental contracts have gone up
with inflation. Oh there's that pesky word again. That's made us take a
harder look at how much is going into this. So here you go.
As far as the school breakfast is concerned, now a bucks seventy five instead
of the previous dollar fifty, lunches going up to three dollars across the board.
They didn't report on what it used to be. Treasurers think said there
is help available for families facing financial hardship with free and reduced meals and school
fee waivers, but without the pandemic money to cushion the budget. These fee
increases are the best solutions so the taxpayers are not forced to foot the bill.
So say at ZINC, we spend every day diligently trying to manage every
penny that we have coming into the district to try to maximize the dollars.
We have more information on the school website. If you're a Lakota parent and
you want more information, head on over there. Got Springfield Police Department announcing
yesterday that a seven year old boy was killed on July sixteenth. He had
been shot by another child inside the residences. Seven year old boy died from
his injuries, according to police. Corner identified the boy as Justice Jenkins.
Police said the child who fired the gun was playing with what was thought to
be an unloaded firearm. Hear the disgust in my voice for my firearm owner
friends out there. After consulting with the Hamiltuty Prosecutors, always, police said
was determined that no laws had been broken during the shooting, which police said
as accidental accidents can be prevented. Jenkins shot in Springfield Township. According to
police. The Hamilton County Corner's Office is also called the scene. They said
someone in a home in Arvin Avenue in Springfield Township called nine one one about
two to eighteen pm Tuesday. Jenkins pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting,
despite life saving efforts by paramedics and officers of Springfield Township. Police reported,
that's a heartbreaker. Man sentenced for a deadly shooting and habit in Hamilton
back in twenty twenty three, Ramelodavonte Matthews facing justice now. He's from Hamilton,
sentenced to twenty to twenty five and a half years in prison after pleading
guilty to involuntary manslaughter with a firearms specification as well as Filonius saw the corner
the Butler County court records. I think twenty to twenty five years is because
it's in Butler County, not Hamilton County. June twenty three, officers refined
to Dayton Street near Dayton Wayne Pub about quarter to three in the morning for
report of a person shot. There they found Tracy Miller with a gunshot wound
as well as unconscious. He died at UC Medical Center twenty to twenty two

I got my fingers crossed that I know Christopher Smithman is going to show up,
because he confirmed that during this Smither event on Monday. I was kind
of hoping as we approach the election, more and more candidates would show up.
I was thinking Adam Kaylor might be there because he's been to listening to
Lunch a whole bunch. Someone get the word out to Hamlin. They prosecuted
a list of powers. She's been listening to lunch is quite a few times,
and I think it would be important for her to get out there,
get her name out there. Of Course, anybody else that wants to show
up is invited, but those are just two that came to mind. And
of course Jim Neil. Jim Neil demonstrably better than what we're dealing with right
now. He's got a record to run on too, and a really solid
and good man. If you've never met Jim Neil, I strongly encourage you
to just walk up to him and shake hands. He is easily approachable and
a genuinely quality human being, and someone who I think has a really good
firm grasp for the job and how it's supposed to be done. And somebody
who's probably not going to get their firearms stolen from them. Just saying anyway,
you know, it seems like that, you know, everybody's embracing Kamala
Harris. You look at the numbers, the amount of money that float in
in a moment's time, It is truly amazing. I got to give her
credit what one hundred million dollars over the course of two days, and you
think, oh my god, we're up against tough odds. Elon Musk now
saying it was widely, that wide report about him donating forty five million dollars
every month between now and the election of the Republicans. He said, that's
wrong. No, I did not commit to do that. I'm not quite
sure where that backpedaling comes from, but apparently it was misreported. So that
looks concerning by way of contrast to the money that Kamala Harris has brought in.
But I kind of look at it maybe in a slightly different way.
It looks like wonderful, wild enthusiasm and oh my god, thank god,
we've got Kamala Harris running now, it's awesome. What maybe when you're only
considering compared to Joe Biden, who everyone is now painfully aware of is cognitively
impaired. So gee, I can understand that they are free of the burden
of Joe Biden, but they got the burden of Kamala Harris. But they
haven't yet fully appreciated that. And that's why I keep talking this morning about
we need to run on issues, issues, issues issues. Her record is
so far left and so horrific for the country if these policies continue. Going
back to my comment about inflation, he's got a program and plan to ease
everybody suffering across the board. Ah, free education, free stipend every month,
free this healthcare for every single man, woman, and child. Even
know what these policies would cost if they actually were implemented. I mean,
the CBO has crunched the numbers on these. The figures are mind boggling.
They were already at this moment in time on an unsustainable trajectory. We know
that the pumping of trillions of dollars into the economy had an inflationary impact that
everyone is reeling with. Going back to the CNN analysis on how people can't
even pay their bills, and she's going to double down on that or at
least continue down that path. But their enthusiasm because they got rid of Biden
is what we're experiencing right now. And you see the posts on Facebook.
Oh my god, I'm with her and all this. Listen, you're only
with her because she's not Joe Biden, but you're with her now and her
policies, and you're going to have to run on them and defend them and
justify them. Couple of polls now out, Oh my god, Reuter's zipso's
poll. Harris leads Trump by two points. Yeah, that's true, but
look behind the veneer of that one single poll that has her out front.
Harris leads Trump forty four to forty two in the national poll three percent margin
of error. Yet the sampling four hundred and twenty six Democrats, three hundred
and seventy six Republicans and three hundred and forty one independence m a little bit
lopsided. So you can take that one with a grain of salt and then,
oh my god, don't pivot over to the other pole that we got
out. Quinnipiac poll published Monday finds it forty five percent of registered voters back
Trump over the broad field. Now that's if you include Kennedy and the Green
candidate and the and the Libertarian candidate. That's forty five over Harris's forty one.
Although she leads Biden or she leads Trump by a point just with the
head to head race. But when you look down further behind the veneer of
that, look at the independence poll, Trump has a considerable lead over Harris
in that field of independence of respondence. In the eighteen to thirty four demographic,
forty seven go with Trump, twenty nine for Harris, also beating Harris
by fifteen points in the thirty five to forty nine age group. Harris has
a ten point lead with voters aged aged fifty five or fifty to sixty four,
and among those sixty five and older. So I find that figure hard
to believe as well. And maybe that's because the lie that Donald Trump wants
to end or get rid of socis Security has come home to roost. I
don't know, but any politician who denies that Social Security or any of the
other enttitement programs need to be well dealt with because they are running out of
money. You've got to do something. At some point. We elect our
officials to manage affairs properly, not just for the moment in time, but
for the future as well. And every single administration since I've been alive has
let down the American people in so far as at least social Security has concerned.
You know, there's poll after poll after poll out there. Economically speaking,
there are so many seniors. It was a poll I read even yesterday
about baby boomers who have all reached now retirement age are getting very close to
it, and what a huge percentage of them have nothing to run on,
nothing to live on. Except social security. Now you get a poll that
comes out and says seniors are going to lean Harris. Maybe that's because they
see the well the problem facing them and oh my god, evil Orange man
is going to take my social security away from me. I don't think he
said that. He's one of the politicians that says he's not going to touch
the third rail of politics. Well, what's going to be done about it?
Don what's going to be done about it? Kamala some forty six.

on the hold longest. Joe, thanks for holding. Welcome to the show.
Good morning, Brian. Can you hear me over? Yes, I
can continue prayers for the Thomas family. Thank you, brother. Maybe you
can help me out with this as usual, I don't understand why certain people
even get a modicum of popularity. The Obamas, both of them, Paris
and Biden will throw them in. They're, you know, saying something idiotic
once in a while, God knows I do it. But when you do
things that bear your soul and your lack of intellectual capacity, those are the
things I look for when I vote. You know, I guess you can
sum it up in a thing called integrity. And I didn't like Joe Biden
way back in the day with the Clarence Thomas things, so we would never
see eyed eye when he was healthy. I didn't like him. Just your
thoughts agreed, Well, isn't it the culture personality. I mean, we
elevate people, we elect people, and then you know, like if you're
part of the left wing cabal, then the media elevates you to this lofty
status of you know, wonderful and you know, bulletproof and I know pun
intended there, but it's a culture personality. They're willing to overlook all the
flaws. They will not illustrate or highlight the points that you were looking for,
integrity, content of character, in favor of just continuing to elevate someone
who is in their political camp. I mean, you know, we all
elevated Ronald Reagan to a level of culture personality, but we had good reason
to do it because he was successful at what he did. He turned the
country around from the train wreck that Carter had left us, demonstrated that character
and that quality that's you know, he's the tef line guy. He was
a wonderful public speaker, he was inspirational, He had all the qualities of
a politician and a leader that we're looking for. You don't find that in
a lot of these candidates, in these individuals, even on the right wing
side of the Ledger. Of course, we've got those as well. But
once they've been elevated, it's that name recognition. We're all willing to blindly
just continue to support them and continue to vote them back into office. Why
well, because they got the party nomination, because well, they're that guy
or that gal that has the name recognition. They're the ones that people have
been talking about for so long. Oh I recognize that name here. Let
me vote for that person. Culture personality, that's all I can come up
with. Doesn't stop you or me from doing a thoughtful, critical analysis,
and that's extraordinarily important. It's one of the things they're not teaching children in
school these days, is that critical thinking skill that so many of my listeners
thankfully have. We see who's next, Joe. That's Jay. Thanks for
calling this morning and for holding there. Welcome to the program. Hey,
thanks Brian. Hey, I'm scared that we may have been at a tipping
point. That happened about four years ago when Trump lost to Biden and everybody
said, can never happen. Biden's a full he's a bumbling idiot, he's
can't possibly win this election, and then he won. And I know there
was a lot of I believe that there was a lot of indiscretion on how
they counted the votes in the election process and everything else. But when fifty
percent of the country doesn't pay income tax, I think the generation after generation
has always been concerned that there will come a day in this country where there
would be enough people that would be bought by the Democrat Party that they would
no longer be thinking about what's the policy or the direction required, who's the
best candidate based on policy direction and what they're going to do for this country.
Instead it gets into what does it mean to me in my pocketbook?
What do you like Rushland boggers to say? What you're going to give me?
It doesn't and we used to think that it was, you know,
just social welfare programs and things like that, which are certainly don't help.
But you know, I've talked to people that were farmers in Arkansas who were
Hillary Clinton supporters, deep red state, but because of the Farm Bill,
they're willing to vote Democrat. PPP handouts that came to business owners that didn't
need it, on and on and on you go down the line. I
think we may be to the point where Kamala can go into the to go
into the basement, just like Joe did, just like Hillary did. Remember
the debates no longer matter where they're becoming less and less about a candidate getting
up and talking about where they're going to go. They've learned it's best just
to shut up and disappear. And that started with Hillary, that started before
Joe. And they will still get elected. So we can talk about she's
a bumbling idiot and nobody likes her. That can all be true, and
she could still get elected because we've hit the tipping point in this country where
people are more concerned about getting a check in the mailbox or the abortion.
It's either legalized stuff from fellow American citizens that I can take what you made
to put it into my pocket. For the abortion issue, it's one of
those two. And I think we may have reached a point where we're over
that fifty percent threshold, which means we have a completely different American and reality
on our hands. Well, I put aside real quick, I'm out of
time. I put aside the abortion issue because more than fifty percent of Americans
believe in some form of abortion, so ignoring that social issue and recognizing it
is a state issue now not a federal issue. It is because we are
shortsighted, and we are self interested. We are immediately we are an instant
gratification society, and we apparently collectively no longer care about the future of the
country, which is why I keep going back to the reckless spending. Not
only as an inflation and it has a real time effect on us now,
but it is going to destroy the country in the long run. Most people
are just like, well, screw it. By the time the destrength of
country's destroyed from our overspending. Because I have my hand in the cookie jar,
I'm going to be dead. So give me mine now. The hell
with my children, grandchildren, et cetera. Appreciate the call. Jay gotta

to the fifty five Carssee Morning Show to talk about his book nineteen sixty eight
premer for Understanding Baby Boomers. Rick Robinson, It's great to have you on
the fifty five Parsee Morning Show this morning. Hey Brian, great, great
to hear hear from you again. I'm here in the beautiful confines of New
Mexico in the Albuquerque Airport. Maybe the first interview you've ever done the company
by MW Zach. There we go. It is a first. I hope
you are not having to deal with crowdstrikes, lasting issues for delayed flights,
Rick and safe travels. To you, it is amazing, Brian, But
it is still happening. Oh no, happening today. Oh no. Well
we'll have I Heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe on Thursday to talk about that
rack. Nineteen sixty eight a really, really pivotal year for United States.
I mean I immediately gravitate to gravitate to the nineteen sixty eight convention, of
course, because it was a major league disaster for the Democrats, police and
riot gears, skulls getting crack protesters everywhere. But your book is I guess
described as a deep dive into the whole entire year. You do it month
by month, correct, do it month by month, but it is pivotal
to take a look at what's going on right now, Brian, and understand
the similarities that are going on between what you just mentioned the Democratic Convention in
nineteen sixty eight in Chicago as it will be again and what's happening now,
because you're looking at a convention where side the convention the people were chanting,
as you said, Hebburg getting batched in Chicago, and people were standing outside
shouting the whole world's watching. I'm wondering this year whether or not the whole
world will be watching, or the whole world will be searching Netflix to see
what's on besides the convention. You know, that's a really valid point because
one of the points I wrote down on my notes that been talking to talk
with you. We live in a completely different universe than nineteen sixty eight.
For if for no other reason, then we've got the Internet. And I
say that because organizing people in nineteen sixty eight required you know, mailing and
flyers and the normal kind of pre Internet outreach that you think of making telephone
call. So if you remember the free speech movement, the Students for Democrat
Society, or Vietnam anti Vietnam groups of ones for not, if you want
your people to show up at a convention, you're going to have to reach
out to them, let them know where to be, when to be.
But you have a do it manually. Now you can do a blast text
to the entire world, and you can communicate with the entire world instantaneously.
It's going to be interesting to see if that actually happens in Chicago this time,
because there are still lingering issues very similar to nineteen sixty eight that can
could galvanize people to come to the convention, not the least of which you
know. Linda Johnson got out of the presidential race in nineteen sixty eight for
numerous reasons, however, the most important one being his party not liking the
way he was handling the Vietnam War. But you have a very similar situation
happening right here. As the Democratic Party is split on how President Biden has
handled Gaza. You have a very big wing of the Democratic Party that is
pro Palestinian. You have, you know, I don't know if it's split
down the middle, but there is certainly a pro Israel pulp pro Palestine divide
in the Democratic Party. Will that lead to any student protest outside? Hard
to tell you, Well, it sounds likely that it will. But again
taking the wind out of the protesters' sales, Lyndon Johnson, I choose not
to accept the nomination of the party. It turned into an open convention,
so there was a legitimate, at least on its face, a legitimate reason
to get out there and make an argument for your side of the case.
If you're anti Vietnam, you're going to be in favor of an anti Vietnam
candidate on the other side of the legend, and there may have been a
pro Vietnam candidate, and they obviously there's something to buy a debate and fight
about. Kamala Harris has been anointed and if things continue down this path,
and the screams and cries of even among folks like Black Lives Matter, who
are very upset with the process, but you're going in with Kamala Harris as
the nominee. The delegates have already said we're in favor of her. She's
got enough. She's got twenty nine hundred of them as of yesterday, which
is enough to secure the nomination. So she's effectively taken the wind out of
the open convention sales, leading really to nothing to protest about. Perhaps well,
one of the things to remember here, Brian, is that Hubert Humphrey
and Kamala Harris have one very important thing in common, and that is neither
of them won a primary. Now, Humphrey went into the process with a
whole bunch of delegates, but all of those delegates were through the old coronation
process of the parties. Republicans of them press both where they would have caucuses
as opposed to primaries to determine delegate counts. Humphrey, because of it being
the old party rule, got his delegates by going to conventions and caucuses and
closed doors, smoke filled rooms. He did not win a single not a
single primary needed it. Harris. Now, the interesting thing is both parties
are the one thing that ties it together to is in sixty eight and in
twenty four, both candidates both parties have to deal with some guy named Robert
Kennedy. In sixty eight it was the convention was the ghost of Robert Kennedy
and where the anti war movement went, And this time it's with Robert Kennedy
Junior, and where the anti vax movement goes ah see anti vaxx movement.
I don't didn't ever perceive it as being that large in terms of a movement
like that's going to get people off the couch. You know, Robert F.
Kennedy and his being anti vax. Do you think there's going to be
a contingent of anti vax folks in Chicago this year? I think Robert Kennedy
Junior pulls people from both sides of the aisle and pulls them into this personal
privacy stage that both parties have an interest in. And I think whether it's
ten percent, whether it's fifteen percent, when you get down to the bottom
of it, it's still going to have an impact, huh. And that's
because people are more in favor of Robert of Kennedy Jenner than they are of
Kamala Harris from maybe Donald Trump. But he's not going to be on the
ballot anywhere is he he is He is on several ballots as in several of
the states. And that's one of the big differences between sixty eight and twenty
four is that in sixty eight you had a third party candidate in George Wallace.
But George Wallace actually had a strategy to try and win the presidency.
Wallace's strategy was hoped hoping that all of the segregationist Democrats who were very,
very pissed off at Linda Johnson for the Civil Rights Act and the Fair Housing
Act, that they would vote for him and that he would get enough delegates
to be able to throw it into the House of Representatives where the anti segregationist
Democrats would throw it them to Wallace to be president. Now, the one
thing that happened in that case was that Wallace's own ego kept him from doing
that because he thought he could win the country. But you look at Robert
Kennedy. He's only on ballot and a couple of a handful of states.
Yeah, and he really doesn't have a plan to become president, just a
plan to become a thorn in the side. Well, that may be his
best role, at least as of right now. It's relegated to that role.
Apparently there are some discussions going on between he and the Trump campaign as
to whether or not there is a place for him in the Trump administration.
Well, I guess do you think that many in the Democrats would be that
he would be the secretary of brain eating worms? Fair enough? Rick is
known for his humor. By the way, folks and read his books.
Well what if Kamala Harris? Though? Do you think there are many within
the Democrat Party? Again? I looked up and point to the Black Lives
Matter posts and they are really irked at this coronation of Kamala Harris. They
want a democratic process, They tell the Democratic Party they look like a party
of hypocrites. Do you think there are many within Democrat camp who feel that
way about this railroad job that we seem to be facing right now. Again,
I would point to history if you take a look at when in sixty
eight they went through a democratic process but still coronated at Hubert Humphrey, yeah,
the vice president, to become the nominee. They came out of convention
with no chance whatsoever for Hubert Humphort to be President of the United States.
None. It was in such disarray, such disarray that in sixty eight they
change the rules of the convention to what is very similar to what is taking
place right now. And I think the Democrats the only chance for having a
chance is to go into convention with the candidate and to move forward that way.
Would a lot of the Democrats like to see a democratic process, I
believe they would. But the fact of the matter is if you get into
a floor fight and you showed disarray, you're going to have another nineteen sixty
eight, a suber country coming out and not having a chance in in a
blue state to win well. And I guess the larger looming question is can
Kamal Harris run on her well on her policies. She has a record that
we can all point to, and she was previously identified as the most liberal
senator that was elected, I mean, and a whole slew of very very
left leaning, large social programs that cost literally billions, if not trillions of
dollars. I mean, that's her record, That's who she is as a
candidate. I'm just wondering whether the greater population can abide this continued further further
left wing shift in the country. You're exactly on point, Brian, in
that I think, much like nineteen sixty eight, this is going to go
much more toward policies than personalities. Let's face it, if Richard Nixon would
have had to run on his personality, he would have ended up like he
did in the rate for governor. And it's not having him to kick around
anymore, understood. But it went to policies against Humphrey, who you know.
I thought it was interesting at the time, and going back and doing
the research, Humphrey actually didn't even have the support of the progressive side of
his party. They didn't think he was liberal enough. Yeah, And which
is interesting because at the time I thought you were Humphy were probably the most
liberal person that had ever been nominated for president, and that is, you
know, leads you to a position of going you know, you're right,
this could be more about policy than it is personality. Well, the cutoff
for baby members is nineteen sixty four, which means they were four years old
the youngest of them in nineteen sixty eight for the convention. We have a
different landscape now. The youngest of the baby boomers are now turning sixty this
year, getting closer to retirement. As we move forward, this huge bubble
of baby boomers and their aging population. How do you think that's going to
impact the election? Because I know social security is a real problem for America
generally, and people who are on Social Security don't want any of it cut
in any way, shape or form. So that represents a sizeable voting block
in so far as that one issue is concerned. Absolutely, the number one
issue is going to be the election. We you and I need more handicapped
lines at the voting booths because we're all going to be going there in walkers
and wheelchairs, all of us shimmers. But the thing that will be happening
is you're right. The whole idea of if you're going to cut spending,
you have to cut entitlements. Oh you know what, I'm a lot less
for that now that I'm entitlement age. Yeah, and I was when I
who was twenty five. Yeah. My mom is sixty or eighty four,
and she sees the writing on the at least she perceives the demise of our
country down the road because of the direction we're going, and she's like,
well, at least I won't be around to live through it. And I
think that's the attitude of a lot of baby boomers in so far as social
security is concerned. Yeah, Barry Goldwater wrote the Coming Breakpoint, and it
might have been around sixty eight where she projected that cecial security was donno tate
it could not be maintained throughout the history of the country. And it turns
out he was right. Of course, there's never been any change to it,
never, and only confirmed over and over and over again with every CBO
report on the status of social security since his observations way back in sixty eight.

Jeff, you are a true patriot. Patriot, you're second line behind Nick,
who's been on hold. Nick, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome
to the program. Hi, Brian, how are you doing. I am
doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances, which are interesting times.
Well, thank you for having me on your show. And I was
on a few months ago when I was talking about my book Our God Given
Freedom. But one of the drum beats that was going on in nineteen sixty
eight is still going on today. It's the drum beat against the Second Amendment
and against people like you who support the Second Amendment and the Democrats. After
all the violence that was going on in nineteen sixty eight, what they did
was they passed a gun control bill, and they talked about what a great
thing that was passing this gun control. Well, now Democrats are talking about
what's being done in violent language. Just a few days before Trump was shot
that Joe Biden said, it's time to stop talking about the debate. It's
time to put a bulls eye on Donald Trump. Yes, sir, and
and low and behold, Yes, they just they they want to they want
to stop gun rights. They want to stop having having us have our rights
to hold a gun. And and and you know they're using this everything that
they're using, everything they're doing, they're using this as an excuse. Well,
in order to achieve that objective, they're going to have to change the
current state of the law, which is that is an individual right. The
second one belongs to us as individuals, and we are entitled to exercise it.
So say at the Supreme Court. It was a different legal landscape back
then, and they could get away with passing bans and gun control. Now
they've got to survive Supreme Court scrutiny under the current test, which is a
massive challenge for them. Frustrated they may be, but they're going to have
to ultimately change the law for that. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
But that doesn't mean they're not going to continue to fight for that.
That's one of the reasons why they want to pack the Supreme Court. After
swearing an oath to uphold the United States Constitution, including the Second Amendment,
they don't ever qualify when they're swearing allegiance to the Constitution when they're sworn in,
now do they? But as soon as they're sworn in, they immediately
attack the Constitution. Well, you got a bit more of a challenge these
days. It's like I keep going back to the abortion issue. They're going
to scream about it, but it's no longer a federal question. It's in
the hands of voters in the various states. A twenty six patriot, Jeff,
hang on, brother, I'll get you right out of the gate.
As soon as they come back. After mentioning Colin Electric, Andrew Cullen and
them great electricians, at Color Electric. They are, of course journeyman electricians
taking care of all your residential electric needs like they have been for the last
twenty five years. And congratulations on twenty five years of successful operation of that
business. Taking great care of my listeners, I know, just like they
take great care of me with my electric projects over the years. Everything they
do for you comes with a ten year wiring warranty. They're awesome at customer
service, and they will do then knob and tube wiring replacement, the illumined
wiring replacement. I would call those big jobs, but they'll also do very
small projects like installing a can light or multiple outlet installations. When it comes
to wiring and electric projects, count on my friends at cull And Electric,
which you can find online Cullen CU l E and Cullen Electriccincinnati dot com.
Tell Andrew and the team. Brian said, Hi, When you give them
a call to schedule the appointment five one three two two seven four one one
two, the price is always right five one three two two seven four one
one two. When we say what happens next? Happens here we interrupt this
price. It is because your guests is as good as ours well what's the
prognosis for this country when things like this happened? What's happening? What happens
next? Man, I don't even know what to say. What's happening in
our in our country anymore? Expects un believable, the unexpected, expect what
is happening? And how the people have been to see her? Whose country?
Fifty five krs the talk station. This is the Hey thirty one,
but you I have kr C the talk station. Well today, I'm thank
you got here in the day nine nice captain. If you're never behind a
showdown for Joves dream and we got some wildfires out in California going out,
Joe, I thought this is our wildfire theme song anyway. Enjoying the variations
in the popper music this morning, thanks to Joe Strekers that can producer and
always enjoy hearing from Jeff and thank you for holding over the break there,
Jeff, welcome back. Hey Brian, As always you and Joe are true
patriots, Buddy. Always love hearing that my friend. Thanks. Yeah,
I just I don't know. I don't want to take anything for granted,
but as far as I know, every one of my Democrat friends are way
light in the wallet, and that's the one place you never hit a Democrat.
So I am just phenomenally surprised by any of these supposed, you know,
election surveys and stuff that say that, you know, any that Trump
is not ahead in almost every field. And and I think that with the
craziness that's going on now, with the border and and our wallets shrinking and
shrinking and shrinking, I'm just amazed that anyone can say that Trump is going
to win. Well, okay, And this goes back to, you know,
don't don't take anything for granted. Now I agree with you there,
and what I observe, and I think others have observed, you know,
this quick influx of one hundred million dollars into the Kamala Harris coffers, and
oh the online support and oh my god, there's a couple of polls out
that shows she's ahead by a point or two. That's post you know,
shift over away from Biden exuberance. I think that's the vast majority of Democrats
sort of the exhaling that they're relieve that they don't have the baggage Joe Briden
had and the obvious outcome of the election, which is we all know,
Joe Biden is toast. He is not going to be president. That makes
Kamala Harris automatically the next president by voting for Biden. That's a terrible place
to be. Oh look, that's not an issue for us anymore. Exhale
collective sigh of relief and oh my god, here I'll write a check.
And because I hate Trump, never overlooked the fact that there's that built in
over seven years, give or take hatred, so many people literally hate him.
The name sends shivers down their spine and evokes, you know, red
faces and anger that's still there. That's one thing you cannot deny. Left
wing media has a built in reaction mechanism. So many people, including some
Republicans, that as soon as you utter the word Trump, you're like,
no, no, no, So Kamal Harris sounds better. Yeah, until
you look at the issues and exactly what you're talking about, and then you
go to vote, You're like, wait a second, my hatred for Trump
the man, in spite of the fact that I was doing better under his
administration and he has a record that he's running on, in spite of that,
I'm going to vote against my best interest and vote for a president who's
more liberal than Joe Biden by far, and who's already on record as building
and expanding these massive entitlement programs and thus running the printing press without fixing the
problem of our outrageous spending already, which is going to have an even further
inflationary pressure. If people would think about it, rather than reacting to evil
Orange Man with that built in Pavlovian response thank you media, then they would
think, no, this will be a really bad idea of voting for her.
It would be against my best interest, right, And I just hope
that I'm glad that everybody votes individually, because again, I will be so
happy if enough of these people in their own little world, when they're at
that marking down that ballot, if they say, well, no, one's
gonna know that I voted for Trump, so let's keep our fingers crossed.
But to all my conservative leaning folks, folks who even aren't even a huge
fan of Donald Trump, but understand that the policies of this current administration,
what will obviously be the policies of the Harris administration, will suck. We'll
stink on ice. So yeah, go in and go ahead and vote for
Trump. As much as it hurts you, nobody's gonna know you did it,
but at least get in and vote and prevent a colossal existential train wreck
from happening. Thank you, Jeff, God bless you. Sorry thirty six
Fred your next if you don't mind holding for moment. I'm out of time
In this segment, I want to mention my friend John Ryan and Prestige Interiors.
John has more than thirty five years of experience doing almost exclusively kitchen.
He is a kitchen remodeling specialist and an amazing one too. Love what to
do with our kitchen, and we'd went the whole take it all out,
gut the place and start from scratch route quite a few years ago at this
point, but still live in that lovely reality of that beautiful kitchen that he
created in our home. Took his advice on so many different things, including
moving one little tiny wall that provided so much more space. I never could
have believed that it worked out so well. Just the whole flow, the
storage solution, everything is just a dramatic improvement over the builder special that we
bought. So John's with you every step of the way, from initial design
to final installation. If you want to do a smaller project like cabinets and
countertops, call John. He'll help you stay within your budget and again take
him up on some of his advices. He's just got some genius ideas a
plus with a BBD member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. You can

T phone. Joe Strecor is going to write in jell Obi opera for President.
Let's see what Fred's gott Hey Fred, thanks for holding over the break,
my friend. Welcome to the show. Good morning, long time listener.
Thank you. Uh, let me just start off center. I am
a black Democrat, but I don't think either party Democras Crats our Republicans is
looking for my best interests. And I say that because, well, let
me just say it, the national president, whoever become president, is not
going to speck me one way or another. Uh, the local races,
it's gonna affect me. My biggest thing is I live in a black neighborhood
and my problem is basically police seem and also the city of Cincinnati is for
the things they do, and my neighbors that I'm around only can see the
black neighbors I'm around have a problem with forrest, The police been in our
neighborhood. Trash been picked up, Our streets is not paved like other streets,
right, you know, basically having the same thing done as other streets.
When we can go to another neighborhood, basically they streets get tore up
and they get paid then within a week where our streets get tore up.
And this was like, Uh, you out in the country somewhere, that's
the problem. When you you can't have the same thing as somebody else,
but you paying taxes. That's what a problem comes in for us as I'm
stop saying for us, For me as a black man, that that when
I go down the street and walk out my door, I don't have the
luxury of having my trash picked up on time, or they throw trash on
the ground, they don't pick it up. The streets is not done,
poles been hit? Are they leaning over? Yeah, that's my thing.
It's local understood, not more of the president. And I understand what people
are saying about who's going to be running for presidents. Every time I was
up and down the street and down the highway. There are more hotels getting
built, there are more roles getting done, there are more houses being sold.
There is money out there. But the whole thing is it's not doing
and gloom, like everybody said, is well man, And I appreciate you
that sometimes you call the call in and say some crazy stuff and you,
you know, direct them in the right direction. And I appreciate you for
doing that. That's the only reason I listen to you, because I get
eighty percent of one and twenty per cent of the other one. But it
balances out with you, and I appreciate that more than anything. Well,
I appreciate that friend, because that's the how, that's where I operate from.
You know, you are being failed by your local government, There's no
question about it. You go throughout the city of Cincinnati, many people in
a variety of different neighborhoods, it's as if they've been completely forgotten. Yes,
the roads are in terrible shape. Yes, there is infrastructure problems all
over the place. It has been a collective failure of priority on a local
level because they're responsible for allocating the finite amount of resources they have, and
they have overlooked your neighborhood. I guess I would feel stung myself. Fred,
you're right, But why do they build as Fred? You've got potholes,
you got a crappy neighborhood, you got garbage and needs to be collected.
Why do they build a streetcar? Fred? Five million dollars a year
in maintenance and upkey. Yet no, they overlooked your neighborhood, and you,
specifically, Fred, in favor of a glory, you know, shining
object that did nothing for the City of Cincinnati except keep us in further debt.
That's it, then, whatsoever? And like I said once again,
and and I know that it's time before election and their out have or their
meeting and they're around walking around. But you know, I as soon as
the election is over with this call to the same thing all over again once
again, and my whole thing once again. You get all these people that's
been elected, you got all the people under them, and they can't go
out and survey the areas that they are supposed to be representing. Yeah,
that's my whole thing. You represent my area and I have never seen or
talked to you. You never came to a resident council media, you never
did anything like that. But yes, you want my vote. It's a
good point for no Fred. That's what the morning show is for. You
get it out of your system and maybe draw the attention of some elected official
that might look a little bit harder before they start going down the road of
some shiny object that's going to benefit no One and start thinking about Fred in
his neighborhood and fixing the damn roads and getting the garbage picked up. I
think you're on solid ground, man. You're always welcome to call in.
Fred. Keep up again, all right, thanks you you have a great
day. You do the same man. Eight forty six fifty five KR.
See the talk station and you got a friend in Maureen Fred. Next he's
got an instant message from Man. I like him. That's it. Yes,
I do too, five three seven fifty eight two three talk and another
phone number I'll give you. It's USA Insulation. If you haven't called USA
Insulation and you're an older home, you really should. You're wasting money every
single month. You're paying too much. You can pair back that energy bill
significantly. If you're running your air conditioning unit in these hot summer days,
you're paying too much. Now, if you have a well insulated home,
then I can't say that you wouldn't need the USA's premium foam in the exterior
walls. But if you are under insulated, and you may very well be.
I use my daughter's home as an illustration. R twelve and the exterior
walls of a late seventies build R twelve that had deteriorated and it does over
time, so it doesn't even have an R twelve effective insulation. So we
bought the USA Premium phone for our house. We wanted to save money,
be more comfortable, nice home, warm housewarming gift, at least from my
perspective, because I know the value of USA and what it'll bring to you.
So you'll get energy savings, you'll get greater comfort, you'll get a
free addic in when you pay for the phone in the exterior walls, and
the federal government coming to your rescue giving you twelve hundred dollars for doing what's
right under all circumstances. That's saving money and being more comfortable. So take
advantage of the energy tax credit next year when you're doing your tax is like
taking twelve hundred dollars off the top. Just call them up. It's a

five k tight fifty two segue into a little tool here. Closing out of
the program with a great day of bumper music. Thanks Joe Strecker. It's
been fun. Ah And you know, Fred, I feel for you man,
and I don't kind of sort of improve my point. You know,
if you have to, if you're going to rely on the government, then
you're setting yourself up for a failure. It says, you know, I
go back to Social Security. You know you're on Social Security you're relying on
the government to keep things sowed together and running smoothly and solvent. They have
failed you. I wouldn't want to be in that position. Who's been running
the city of Cincinnati now for decades, who has prioritized stupid projects over just
taking care of what they owned and were responsible for already, You've got multiple
administrations. The infrastructure needs in the city of Cincinnati are unbelievable in terms of
how backlog they are, how many road miles are supposed to do versus what
they actually did every year. Why, well, we're too busy doing something
else. We don't bother picking up the trash because we're too busy doing something
else. Oh look, let's build another leg of the streetcar. Have you
worked the math on that yet? I just really wonder what goes through politicians
mind, is that the need that they think they need to go out and
do even more when they have failed us on what they brought us in the
first place, key government services, roads, infrastructure, public safety, creating
a welcome environment in all the areas of the city. So it is a
drawing point for more investment, more investment, which leads, of course to
more tax dollars. You live in a beautiful environment. It's like a whole
broken windows things. If you clean the place up and you take good care
of it, it looks really nice. People perceive it to be a welcome
environment, and they might be inclined to live there. Meantime they go chasing,
you know, but oh god, I don't know. I hear in
Fred's voice and I understand where he's coming from. Then again, I try
to do the I want to put as little confidence in government as possible,
as little of my wife to have anything in any connection whatsoever, because every
time they get involved, they seem to just create a colossal train wreck out
of the situation. Oh my god, we've got to regulate this. We
got to regulate that. We got to do this, We got to do
that. No, you really don't, you really don't. How about fixing
the damn roads. How about bringing the police force up the line so Fred's
neighborhood is a little bit safer. How About let's embrace the police and let's
ask politicians support them and their mission, which is to provide a safe environment,
as opposed to running around demonizing them all day long and micromanaging and scrutinizing
every little movement that a police officer makes. It's terrible for morale and the
demonization of police that hasn't rampant in this country of late. You know,
it's terrible for recruiting HM much in the same way DEI is terrible for recruiting.
In the American military, you are not helping our country. You're not
protecting us from threats both foreign and domestic, when you're focusing on the only
oh my god, what color skin is it by person? Who do they
like to sleep with. That's not a cohesive military. That's a recipe for
disaster. And oh look, we're living the reality of that, putting us
in a worse position. Why well, because they feel they had to get
in, intervene, micromanage and change the direction of the thinking. No,
you didn't have to spend any time doing that. It was working out just
fine. Fix Fred's roads. Would you eight fifty five fifty five K City
