WEBVTT 1 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:18.320 Three minutes after five o'clock. Happy sixth day of Christmas. 2 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:19.239 Can you believe it? 3 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.719 We're already halfway through the Christmas season. And for those 4 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.199 of you that weren't listening last week, you know, everybody 5 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.760 seems to be confused in terms of when the twelve 6 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.560 days of Christmas occur. Twelve days of Christmas don't occur 7 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.880 up to Christmas. It actually begins on Christmas Day and 8 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.479 then extends for the next twelve days through the twelfth night, 9 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.840 which is January the fifth, and then the Epiphany on 10 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.640 the sixth, which is the day that, according to legend, 11 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.520 the Magei the three Wise Men appeared and this was 12 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.560 the presentation of the divinity of the Christ Child. So 13 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.439 again I kind of rail at people to take the 14 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.719 Christmas decorations down early. They should all stay up for 15 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.879 those twelve day period of time up until the Epiphany, 16 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.480 and that is, according to tradition, the right way to 17 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.439 do it. So that in mind, I just thought i'd 18 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.359 rail about that for a second or two. By the way, 19 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.439 if you check out my Facebook page, which every time 20 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.319 I come in here I usually post. Usually I always 21 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.079 post on Facebook who my guests are and just give 22 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.760 you a little quick rundown of who's coming on. At 23 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.040 seven twenty we're gonna be talking to Christopher Smitherman. Of course, 24 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.560 he is the former vice mayor of Cincinnati, and I'm 25 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.760 sure you've been when you listen in on Mondays, you 26 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:44.120 know that Brian has a christherin Chris Smitherman on for 27 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.480 the smither event, and looking forward to talking to him. 28 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.200 He's always got some great stuff. Then at eight oh five, 29 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.040 I'm gonna be talking with Steven Moser. He's the president 30 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:58.200 Population Research Institute. We'll discuss the miss of over the 31 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:03.239 myths of over popular human rights abuses committed by population 32 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:09.159 control programs, and the demonic nature of the communist China. 33 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.719 He's got some firsthand knowledge of that, and of course 34 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:18.120 their pro life we'll be talking about their Population Research 35 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:23.599 Institute's goals pro life goals for twenty twenty five. So 36 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.520 give you a kind of an update is as far 37 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.360 as who we're going to be talking to today, who 38 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.639 the guests on the program will be, and so big weekend. 39 00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.919 I hope everybody had a great weekend. I had a 40 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.680 fantastic weekend. I don't know if I mentioned this last week, 41 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.360 but we've got our son and his three daughters and 42 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.039 of course his wife who live up in Toledo. Well 43 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.520 the one daughter lives down here, but they moved up 44 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.400 to Toledo to take a job up there, and so 45 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.280 kind of postponed the Christmas festivities we got. On Christmas, 46 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.719 I mentioned last week, we got to do the FaceTime 47 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.520 and online with the grandchildren over the Netherlands, and then 48 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.599 Christmas we just kind of had me and my wife 49 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.680 just had a fun time around the house and had 50 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.280 a great dinner and everything. Then we kind of, well, 51 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.879 the way things worked out, Saturday after Christmas, they were 52 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.800 going to come on down to try to celebrate because 53 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.400 our granddaughter's birthday is January the third, so they're trying 54 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.719 to separate or trying to I guess pick a time 55 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.639 in between there to kind of celebrate both of those events. 56 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.879 And so they came down and on Saturday and we 57 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.680 had a great time. I mean, you know, you know 58 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.280 sometimes when you plan something in advance and you say, Okay, 59 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.800 this is how it's going to be, and this is 60 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.520 what we're going to do, and it always seems that 61 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.680 things seem to go awry. Generally a lot of times 62 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.159 what happens is those impromptu things that you're doing as 63 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.159 far as planning or you decide to do something at 64 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.919 the last minute, those tend to work out the best. 65 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.120 But on this occasion, we kind of planned ahead, figured 66 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.680 out what we're going to do menu wise, and made 67 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.360 sure that everything was there. Everything went smoothly. It was 68 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.240 a great time. Everybody loved the gifts and it was 69 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.480 it was just fantastic seeing the girls and just had 70 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.439 a great time. And then, of course Saturday afternoon we 71 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.759 capped that off after they took off because the one 72 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.920 daughter had to go to work and then they were 73 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.560 driving back up to Toledo. So watched the Bengals game, 74 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.360 and I'll tell you what. We'll talk a lot about 75 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.839 that here coming up, but man, I got to tell 76 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.680 you that was one of the most exciting and one 77 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.199 of the most interesting games that. 78 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.199 I have seen in a very, very very long time. 79 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.439 Of course, we came out on the winning end of that, 80 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.959 and we'll talk a little bit about that tore. Of course, 81 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.000 the playoff implications of that did gets a little bit 82 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.439 of good news yesterday that one of the two teams 83 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.959 that had to lose at least one game, the Indian Colts, 84 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.519 lost their game, So now the only other team that's 85 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.279 got to lose is Miami Dolphins, and of course Bengals 86 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.000 have to beat Pittsburgh on or whatever, and now the 87 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.920 playoff or the It seems like the NFL schedule here 88 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.399 is kind of in a flux. I guess the NFL 89 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.240 wants to get the best ratings and the most ratings 90 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.199 and get as many eyes and on the various games, 91 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.040 so they've been moving the schedules around, and a lot 92 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.519 of the stuff that I'm reading, I'm seeing stuff like, well, 93 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.639 the players are just going to go where they're told 94 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.120 to go, and they'll show up on what time they're. 95 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.319 Supposed to show up. 96 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.680 And it's going to be interesting to see how the 97 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.720 schedule comes out and when that's going to happen. So 98 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.199 it's gonna be very interesting to see how it goes. 99 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.560 And I was telling my wife, it just seems that 100 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.240 there's something, and I don't know what it is. You 101 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.439 look at certain things, and when you have something where 102 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.759 everything has to fall in place, and if one thing 103 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:05.639 happens and that doesn't happen, then everything just goes by 104 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:06.399 the wayside. 105 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:07.240 And with the. 106 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:12.000 Bengals having to win out and having to have other 107 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.920 teams lose. It's interesting how when you see the well, 108 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.079 at least the first step okay, obviously step number one 109 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:27.439 is doesn't happen, then step number two doesn't matter, three, four, five, whatever. 110 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.600 But it seems that the way this is gone, they 111 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.079 won their four final was it the four final games? 112 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.319 And then of course they beat Broncos on Saturday, which 113 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.959 is what they were supposed to do, and then Indianapolis loses, 114 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.800 and if Miami winds up losing, and then it just 115 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.439 seems that, you know, one of those things where things 116 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.639 just seem to be heading in a direction where things 117 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.079 are going to fall in place. Now, of course, this 118 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.160 could be all or not if the Bengals don't beat 119 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.360 the Steelers on I think they're playing on Sunday, but 120 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.720 it'll be interesting to see what happens there. And of course, 121 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.720 uh some other things. Of course, in the headlines, Jimmy 122 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:16.040 Carter uh died at age at one hundred, passed away yesterday, 123 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.920 and all the tributes are coming in guarding him, and 124 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.319 some of the comments there that have come in about 125 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.639 him is you know, of course a lot of people 126 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:32.519 are there's they're singing his praises and I think we 127 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.360 need to be very not optimistic, but at least honest 128 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.879 about the Carter uh presidency for what it was. And 129 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.920 of course we'll talk a little bit about that today 130 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.720 as well. But I'm not one of these that are 131 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.680 going to just, you know, pile on praises to somebody who, 132 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.079 in my opinion, had a very bad presidency. 133 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:54.600 Uh. 134 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.040 The only thing that you know, at least he lived 135 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.319 long enough so that somebody else was the worst president 136 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.279 the country ever had. And that's the current occupancy of 137 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.759 the current occupant of the White House, and that will 138 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.480 come to an end on January twentieth. But the things 139 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.680 that I am seeing as far as the media, it 140 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.759 seems that they're now granted, Jimmy Carter did have a 141 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.480 great post presidency with his habitat for humanity and was 142 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.000 a decent human being that way. But the thing that's 143 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.839 always left out of these discussions when they talk about 144 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.519 people that are decent people, and they especially those on 145 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.320 the left, and those are the people that are the 146 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.840 Democratic Party, the one thing that's always left out of that, 147 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.600 and in my opinion, I don't know how you can 148 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.360 call somebody a decent person when they are pro choice 149 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.720 and when they believe they don't believe in the sanctity 150 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.360 of life, when they double down on the issue and 151 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.480 they push that NonStop, and they're very outspoken about that, 152 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.440 and people will say, well, well, Kevin, you know, how 153 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.679 do you feel? You know, I'm sorry, you know that's 154 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.799 the way I feel. And when people tell me their 155 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.320 pro choice, my first comment is, obviously, you haven't thought 156 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.360 about the issue long enough, because if you really think 157 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.840 about the actual procedure, if you look at the pictures, 158 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.240 if you look at the development of what they refer 159 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.240 to as the fetus from day one, the first week, 160 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.360 second week, the first month, second month, and so on, 161 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.240 you quickly realize that what they tell everybody that is 162 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.120 just a clump of cells is not a clump of 163 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.000 cells when you look at the heartbeat, the fact that 164 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.279 that when that occurs, and the whole. 165 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.320 Business of this roe v. Wade. 166 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.320 Back in the day when it was first passed, one 167 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.960 of the people that wrote that opinion said, if they 168 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.639 ever determine, if they ever determine, as if you know, 169 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.840 that's not a matter of science, if they determine when 170 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.000 life begins, roe v. Wade goes by the wayside, because 171 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.639 if it's life and you kill it. That's not right, 172 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.639 that's murder. And so to have this procedure and to 173 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.080 not I mean I can remember when the Democrats talked 174 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:19.600 about needs to be legal, safe, and rare. Well, they 175 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.279 got the legal part. They certainly didn't get the safe part, 176 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.919 and they didn't get the rare part either. 177 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.720 In fact, they have. 178 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.799 The more that they can do, the more that planned 179 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:37.919 parenthood can perform, the more they justify their existence. And 180 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.360 I cannot think of a worse organization that takes somebody 181 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.799 in the time of one of their biggest crisis, that 182 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:51.799 something that is they're afraid they don't know which an 183 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:57.919 unplanned pregnancy, and instead of offering solutions, just get rid 184 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:03.679 of it. And I think that is such a demonizing type. 185 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.759 Of way to go. I think it's horrific. 186 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.159 And when there are so many other options available that 187 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.679 those are completely ignored, and then when you look at 188 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.200 the risks that aren't discussed, when you look at the 189 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:21.600 complications that aren't discussed, it is amazing that people actually 190 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:26.039 get by with not inform a clear, clear, and you know, 191 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.480 informed decision. So when you get right down to it, 192 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.360 the people that are pushing pro choice they're not. They're 193 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.919 not for U informed choice. It's just a matter of hey, 194 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.320 can we perform the procedure and justify our existence. Of course, 195 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.080 we'll talk about more about this, but I want to 196 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.080 get a couple of comments and talk about Jimmy Carter's 197 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.600 presidency here coming up, and of course we'll get to 198 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.519 all of that as well as our guests later. 199 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.759 On in the program. 200 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.679 Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five, 201 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.840 hundred one, eight hundred eight two three Talk one eight 202 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.639 hundred eighty two three eight two five five AT and 203 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.039 T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty 204 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.720 five KR see the talk station. Okay, a little bit 205 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.080 of hiccup here with the computers this morning, but we 206 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.399 will work our way through it. You know, I want 207 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.480 to talk a little bit about the Bengals because I 208 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.519 thought it was an exciting game. I thought it was 209 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.799 very amazing, and I thought the way that they pulled 210 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.960 off this victory. I don't know if you watch the game. 211 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.279 I know this isn't a sports show, but when you 212 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.559 look at how the game started, the number of times 213 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.440 that they went on fourth down and they just didn't 214 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.360 quite well, they didn't weren't successful. It kind of looked 215 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.559 like the game was going to go in the Broncos favor. 216 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.600 And of course the Broncos had a couple of series 217 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.480 where they just just annihilated the Bengals defense, coming down 218 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:49.879 the field and just scoring. It almost seemed like they 219 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.200 could score it well. And of course it always seems 220 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.679 to happen that during a Bengals game or certain times 221 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.600 during the year, that records are set that have never 222 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.039 been done, and it's always against the Bengals. And I 223 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.200 think one of the pass plays during the game was 224 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:10.080 the longest pass play in air of the entire season, 225 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:14.519 a sixty seven yard touchdown pass where somehow the defender 226 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.799 let the guy get behind him. And it's just and 227 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.120 you look at some of the techniques sometimes that it's 228 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.320 done as far as these players are concerned, and it's 229 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.720 almost like, you know, have they forgotten all of the 230 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.519 stuff that they learned when they were in grade school, 231 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.720 high school, college and some of the things that they 232 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:32.840 should have learned as a professional. But again, the Bengals 233 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.240 still pull it out. But it was a very exciting game. 234 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.480 And the sad thing about this entire of this entire 235 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:44.440 season is that Joe Burrow has had an MVP type. 236 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:46.039 Season. 237 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.039 He is one of the top passing I think he 238 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.320 has the I think he's a league leader as far 239 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.240 as passing yards, all the records that he's set, as 240 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.840 far as the Bengals are concerned, the number of yards, 241 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.639 that number of down and it's just it's so sad 242 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:08.120 that when they do the figuring for the MVP that 243 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.399 it isn't the best performance of everybody in or anybody 244 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:15.679 in the league. If you don't have a winning record, 245 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.240 if you're not going to the super Bowl, if you're 246 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.000 not making the playoffs, it seems that all the other records, 247 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.480 all the other individual achievements are pushed to the wayside. 248 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.000 And it's a sad thing. 249 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.919 And I have to say that I wish the Cincinnati 250 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.080 Bengals of the front office, the management would do something 251 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.720 in terms of recognizing that they have a once in 252 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.559 a lifetime type of quarterback. I think Joe Burrow now, 253 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.120 granted the first couple of years, with the injuries and 254 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.759 so on, I wasn't quite sure. I wasn't convinced that 255 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.159 Joe Burrow was the all and end all. But when 256 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.519 you see now that he's put on a few pounds, 257 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.480 they see that the fact that he's healthy and the 258 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.799 stuff that he can do. We always hear about Patrick 259 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.679 Mahomes and we could talk about all the wonderful stuff 260 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.000 that he's done and what a great quarterback he is, 261 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.879 and we will hear NonStop what a great quarterback Buffalo 262 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.799 Bills quarterback Josh Allen is and some of the things 263 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.360 he can do. But when you look at the accomplishments 264 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.559 of Joe Burrows stacked up against those two, and what 265 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.039 he can do if he has the time, if he 266 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.000 has the line in front of him, and the fact 267 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.519 that he's got the receiving core that he has the 268 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.279 stuff that he can accomplish that way, and if when 269 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.440 you have a decent running back, and of course they 270 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.399 do the backup that they've been using, the fact that 271 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.879 he has been very, very good, But of course he 272 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.440 got banged up over the weekend. And it just seems 273 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:55.759 that if the Bengals would the front office would would 274 00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.799 solidify that team and spend at least the money that 275 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.840 they could to get the quality talent. And in some 276 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.399 instances you don't have to pay top dollars. Sometimes you 277 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.399 can get somebody for a one year deal. What was 278 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.759 I seeing last night though? Was it Matthew Stafford, No, 279 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.960 Sam Donald that took the job. It was kind of 280 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.200 floundering around as a free agent. Took a one year 281 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:28.600 contract for ten million dollars. And it's just you know, 282 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:33.159 sometimes you get a bargain like that and the team 283 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.600 loves him. He's doing very well, and it's just putting 284 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.519 the right person in the right team in order to 285 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.000 do well. And I wish that the Bengals, like I said, 286 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.120 would do the necessary work to get a group around 287 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.519 Burrow to take advantage of the fact that you have, 288 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.519 as I said, a once in a lifetime talent. So 289 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.679 just my two cents worth coming up, we'll talk a 290 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.519 little bit about Jimmy Carter and his accomp puish months 291 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.840 or lack thereof.

Some local headlines were covering for you this morning. 300 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.799 There seems to have been a uh I can't believe this. 301 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.160 In the last two weeks the state has felt the 302 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:53.880 state of Ohio has felt two noticeable earthquakes. It's just 303 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.680 Ohio isn't known for earthquakes, but you know, we sit 304 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.279 on this uh New mad At fault that occasionally kind 305 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.759 of rears its ugly head, and they've been told for 306 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.599 a number of years that we are going to have 307 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.920 one of a very massive earthquake. It hasn't happened yet. 308 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.799 There hasn't been one major occurrence in over hundreds of years, 309 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.920 but in recent weeks recorded the US Geological Survey. Early Sunday, 310 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:28.440 the USGS recorded a two point nine magnitude earthquake in 311 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:34.519 northwest Ohio. The quake was detected at six forty six am, 312 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:39.200 less than a mile southeast of Hicksville at the Indiana border. 313 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.880 And then, on December the sixteenth, at four thirty pm, 314 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:47.960 a three point three magnitude earthquake struck far southern Ohio, 315 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:54.440 less than two miles northwest of Chesapeake along the Ohio River. Now, 316 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:59.160 those earthquakes, earthquakes are very rare. The last time an 317 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.000 earthquake the Cincinnati area was in twenty eighteen, a one 318 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.799 point five magnitude quake shook Carmont County. And that was 319 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.880 not that was something that was known or felt. Now 320 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.079 I can remember, and I goosh, I'm trying to remember 321 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.359 when it was it was. I think it was back 322 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.640 in the late seventies. Possibly it had to be the 323 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.720 late seventies. I was on the phone with my dad, 324 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.799 He's lived from Columbus, and I was talking to him, 325 00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:35.039 and I'm standing in the kitchen. Of course, you know, 326 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.759 back then, you didn't have cell phones. You didn't have 327 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.440 even the wireless phones. You had the corded phone mostly. 328 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.759 And I was on the phone with him, and all 329 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.960 of a sudden, the house started shaking and it felt 330 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.240 like it sounded like some sort of an eighteen wheeler 331 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:57.000 was coming down our street. Now we lived at the time, 332 00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.920 I lived in this residential area up in Mount Washington, 333 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.559 and the only time you ever saw eighteen wheelers was 334 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.119 you know, if people were moving or you know, you 335 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.279 didn't never saw them because of the narrowness of the 336 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.039 streets and you only saw the moving vans once in 337 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.559 a while. But this literally sounded like a truck was 338 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.680 coming down the street at about thirty five forty miles 339 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.880 an hour and with the engine revving and whatever. And 340 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.519 I said, oh my god, I said, it feels like 341 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.200 a truck just passed by. And my dad said, well, 342 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:38.880 our house just shook two. So they felt the tremors 343 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.039 up there. As far as Columbus, now, it's very rare 344 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.000 that we do get those kinds of things, and we 345 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.000 are they tell us on record or due for a 346 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:54.039 major earthquake sometime in the near future. Now, of course, 347 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:59.119 what they determined as the near future, I don't know. 348 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:05.799 It's you know, it's always amazing how much they predict 349 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:10.200 these things and how few times they actually do happen. Now, 350 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:15.759 there was an accident down there on the banks. I'm 351 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.759 having trouble pulling that story up, but apparently there was 352 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.680 a car that jumped the sidewalk down there and went 353 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.920 ahead and injured some pedestrians. We'll get some facts on 354 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:30.000 that here coming up. But it seems similar to a 355 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.359 situation we had down in Newport a couple of years ago. 356 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.480 But it just doesn't appear to be a car that 357 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.880 was being chased by the police, but there was a 358 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.799 stolen car that was coming through the area and crashed 359 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.960 into're building downtown Newport that killed several people a few 360 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.200 years ago. But doesn't appear that anybody was killed, but 361 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.519 certainly there were some injuries. So we're going to cut 362 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:56.880 out here real quick, take an early break here and 363 00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.599 come back, and then we'll talk a little bit about 364 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.680 Jimmy Harder and his impact. Phone numbers five one, three, seven, 365 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.160 four nine, fifty, five hundred one, eight hundred eight two 366 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.559 three talk one eight hundred eight two three eight two 367 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.440 five five pound, five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. 368 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.440 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five kr S. 369 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.759 The talk station. 370 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.480 This is fifty five krc and iHeartRadio station. 371 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:39.400 See the talk station by thirty seven in the morning. 372 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.839 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krc D 373 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.440 Talk station. It's going to be interesting over the next 374 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.519 several days to see all the tributes coming in for 375 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.359 Jimmy Carter. Now again, I'm not going to take away 376 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.319 from the fact of his post presidency as far as 377 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:01.240 what he accomplished and the the work that he did 378 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.400 post presidency. But when I look at his presidency and 379 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:11.240 when he was elected, it was after Watergate. We had 380 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.400 the first president that was in office that was never 381 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.200 elected to that office, either as a vice president or 382 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.279 a president. We had the whole Watergate fiasco that had happened. 383 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.920 We had during that period of time Spiro Agnew who 384 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:33.319 resigned the vice presidency because of some misdeeds and some 385 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.119 fraud that he did some financial dealings in Maryland where. 386 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.799 He was from. I think he was from Maryland. 387 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:44.559 So he resigned, and so then the presidency of the 388 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.359 vice president was appointed and it was Gerald Ford. Then 389 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.359 when Nixon resigned, Ford took over. Now Ford was never 390 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.279 elected to that position, he was nominated to that position. 391 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.599 So you had Nixon resigning in seventy four, and then 392 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.519 you had a two year campaign of Gerald Ford trying 393 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:12.279 to pull the country back from what had happened and 394 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.720 what transpired during Watergate. And as a side note, if 395 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.720 you look back on Watergate, what was done then and 396 00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:24.119 you look at the scandal that that was that led 397 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:30.319 to the resignation of Richard Nixon far pales in comparison 398 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.519 to what we have witnessed with the Biden administration over 399 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.920 the last four years. You know, not to mention the 400 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.880 record high inflation, but the cloud hanging over that nobody 401 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.839 seems to want to investigate in the Justice Department, Hunter Biden. 402 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:48.759 Remember the whole deal with the laptop, that it was, 403 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:54.839 that it was Russian disinformation, the hidden from the hidden 404 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.200 stories from the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream media. 405 00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.200 And we can go on and on about the Biden administration, 406 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.599 the corruption, the dealings with China, the dealings with Hunter Biden. 407 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:09.079 And we see over the weekend that they're actually pictures 408 00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:13.559 that were released by the National Archives showing Joe Biden 409 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.640 with Hunter Biden, with some of the people that Hunter 410 00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:21.240 Biden was doing business with. And the fact that Joe 411 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.440 Biden said, I never talked to my son about his business. 412 00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:26.960 I never talked to any family members. Well, that's a 413 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.559 flat out lie. We know the millions of dollars that 414 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.319 the Biden crime family got, so aside from all that, 415 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.599 that pales in comparison. Then throw on top of that 416 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.160 the fact that we have been lied to and the 417 00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.240 depths of the lives that have been told to us 418 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.559 over the entire four year period of time. Washington, The 419 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.279 Wall Street Journal last week came out with that story, 420 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.359 and we'll probably talk about that a little later on, 421 00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:53.960 talking about how they covered up for him, how they 422 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:57.160 tried to hide his mental decline, and how they kept 423 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.599 things from him, how he was only surrounded by certain 424 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:05.519 certain members of his closest advisors, and so the press 425 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:09.119 that saw this didn't report on it, so they didn't 426 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.359 do their job. The people that were in the Oval 427 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.880 office and the people that were part of his staff 428 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.519 hid it from us. And so this is, to my 429 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.480 in my opinion, one of the biggest scandal, the biggest 430 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.160 scandals that we've ever had in this country. And yet 431 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:31.440 Watergate pales in comparison to that. But aside from that, Okay, 432 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.880 gerald Ford comes into office, He pardons Nixon because they 433 00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.240 wanted to prosecute him and all this, and he thought, well, 434 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.480 we got to end this business and we need to 435 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.839 move forward, and of course that hurt him politically. And 436 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.559 then Jimmy Carter comes on as this wonderful kind of 437 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.039 you know, the southern charm and governor of Georgia and 438 00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.960 speaks a good line and they vote him into office, 439 00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:00.960 and I think it was just a protest against Gerald 440 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.119 Ford and the Republicans at that time. But from day one, 441 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.799 I mean it was a disaster. We had record high inflation. 442 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:12.160 I believe if I read correctly, that the average inflation 443 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.000 numbers every year was nine point one percent or thereabout 444 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.440 the average over his entire presidency. And so when you 445 00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.200 and this is the thing with inflation, is that inflation 446 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.839 is not just a one off. If you look at 447 00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.079 inflation and they give you the number for a particular 448 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.200 period of time and say inflation was four percent or 449 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.759 as back in June of twenty twenty two at nine 450 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.200 point one percent, that that is not just a one 451 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.440 off and then it falls back to zero. No, the 452 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:48.720 inflation that you get is then compounded by the next 453 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.480 month's inflation on top of that. So if you've got 454 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:54.359 nine point one percent in one month, and then the 455 00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.960 following month you've got another three percent, well now you're 456 00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:01.759 you know, twelve twelve percent beyond. And you see this 457 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.839 in terms of a lot of the food that we 458 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:05.839 have and a lot of stuff have doubled in price 459 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.160 over the last four years or three and a half 460 00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.960 years or thereabouts. We've seen what that's done in the energy. 461 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.960 But then Carter comes into office. We have record high inflation, 462 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:20.000 We had record high interest rates. People don't remember or 463 00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:22.920 seem to remember that back during the Carter years, we 464 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.960 had interest rates on homes, interest rates on homes of 465 00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:33.440 around twenty two percent. We freak out now when interest 466 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:38.680 rates are nudging up against ten percent. But the housing 467 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:42.200 market was horrendous. Then throw on top of that, you 468 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:48.480 had the Iranian hostage situation. You had the energy crisis, 469 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:54.680 you had the gas lines, you had the Russian invasion 470 00:28:54.680 --> 00:29:01.400 of Afghanistan. You had Carter forcing our athletes boycott the Olympics. 471 00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:06.240 Imagine working your entire life to achieve something and then 472 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:08.720 all of a sudden, you're allowed to compete on that stage. 473 00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.799 And so when you got through the entire Carter administration, 474 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.799 of course, with the hostage crisis, fifty two of our 475 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:23.759 American diplomats and people at the Iran embassy in Tehran 476 00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:28.839 were held hostage for four hundred and forty four days. 477 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.359 And all this talk about getting the hostages out, getting 478 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:37.039 the hostages out, well, and I remember Ted Kopple, he 479 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.039 used to he got on usually about what eleven thirty 480 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.400 at night, after the local news it was. They thought 481 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:45.799 that it was only going to go on for a 482 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.000 little bit of time. But they started off doing the 483 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.079 newscast or whatever you know this is, you know, whatever 484 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:53.160 the name of the show was. 485 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:55.599 Forget what it was, look, but it. 486 00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.000 Was number three or you know, number thirty that America 487 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.960 held hostage. That's how he opened this program. And so 488 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.119 that went on almost every night up until right before 489 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:10.799 Reagan took office when they released the hostages. Now it 490 00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:13.079 was a political move on the part of Iran. Was 491 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:16.799 it fear of Reagan? Who knows, but apparently this was done. 492 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:22.000 Now in his presidency afterwards, Carter had an amazing, uh situation. 493 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.079 It was a much better post president than he was president. 494 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:28.480 So and now I'm seeing all kinds of crazy stuff 495 00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.440 on the left. We'll talk about coming up. Five phone 496 00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:34.279 numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty, five hundred one, 497 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:36.720 eight hundred eighty two three talk one eight hundred eight 498 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.240 two three eight two five five pound, five point fifty 499 00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:42.640 AT and T wireless phone.

How are you this morning? 509 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.240 And an early happy New Year to you. 510 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:22.759 I'm very well and I say happy New Year to everybody. 511 00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.359 I remember the Carter days. I was working for an 512 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.000 oil company and uh, we were not allowed to have 513 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:38.559 raises because the government said so. But Congress received their raises. 514 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:42.240 Of course, I'll never forget that, but I often you 515 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.319 know Carter was was not the best of presidents at all, 516 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.720 but he'll be elevated. Watch in the news and in 517 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.799 everything they say about him. He'll be the best president 518 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:57.119 we ever had. I wanted to ask you a question 519 00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.920 and see if it was even worth talking about. Late 520 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:06.119 in the program, do you think that our representative in Kentucky, 521 00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:10.440 Massey is going to hold up the certification of the 522 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:11.160 new president? 523 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:13.079 Wow? 524 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.920 Have you seen that he's against it? He's against Johnson, 525 00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.000 and if he goes against Johnson, we do not have 526 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:27.880 the votes to bring Johnson in again. And if he 527 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:32.279 does this, we can't certify the election. And if this 528 00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:36.519 is true, I have to say, if it's true, then 529 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.960 should we not all be contacting Massey in Kentucky and 530 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.359 tell him to get with it. We need this president certified. 531 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:50.640 You know, have you heard about that? 532 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:51.759 I have heard. 533 00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.880 I know that Massey has not said he is not 534 00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:00.759 going to vote for Johnson for speaker, and he doesn't 535 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.319 think that there's that He doesn't think there's a lot 536 00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:06.960 of people that will be voting for him. But they 537 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.200 will have to find if that's the case, then they 538 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:13.160 will have to find somebody. Now, granted, they've got from 539 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.440 January the first until January the sixth, in order on 540 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.640 January sixth when they do the certification, and they have 541 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.960 that period of time to find a new speaker if 542 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:29.720 he's not certified or does not become speaker. But I 543 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:33.079 you know, we're not going to wind up with Hakeem Jefferies. 544 00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:39.839 That's for sure. It I have I don't know. I 545 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.799 I wish that at one point, at one just once 546 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:50.640 in my lifetime, that we had Republicans that realized that whatever, 547 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:55.880 you know, granted, I applaud their their intentions. I applaud 548 00:33:56.160 --> 00:34:00.119 what they stand for, But sometimes what you stand for for, 549 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.799 you know, if you're if you're searching for that one 550 00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:08.199 hundred percent and you're not willing to compromise and you're 551 00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:12.920 not willing to back down for now and use the 552 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:17.239 fight later on, that bothers me. And what would really 553 00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:21.719 upset me more than anything else is the fact that 554 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.079 he would hold up or the possibility of holding up 555 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.920 the certification of Donald Trump when he did absolutely nothing 556 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:33.559 to stop the certification of Joe Biden, and he was 557 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:36.559 very outspoken that he wasn't going to do that. So 558 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:41.679 that would really bother me. And if you know, then yeah, 559 00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:45.000 I would say that people need to contact his office 560 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:48.599 and and find out exactly what it is that that 561 00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:51.840 that you know needs to be done. But you know, 562 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:57.239 as we saw with Johnson's election or Johnson's selection by 563 00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:02.679 the House to be the speaker, that took what five 564 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:06.039 different votes or over a couple of a week or 565 00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:09.480 so period of time, and it's just a whole lot 566 00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:11.800 of it frustrates a hell. 567 00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:13.119 I mean, let's put it that way. 568 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:16.840 I am very frustrated because it took him forever. It 569 00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:20.960 took him fourteen votes to get McCarthy in there. Yeah, 570 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.840 and now we're going to sit here and horse around 571 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:28.440 and put this country on hold. I mean, that's what 572 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.239 you're doing. We need to get these people in there 573 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.320 and working and doing what they're supposed to do. You 574 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:35.960 have to certify the election. 575 00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:36.639 You have to. 576 00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:42.159 Before January twentie. If we don't have time, and I'm 577 00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:44.960 sitting there, where is the common sense? Get your guys 578 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.760 in there, and then address the Johnson right. 579 00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:51.719 And Johnson can be they can have a no confidence 580 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:56.159 vote anytime they want as far as bringing him down, 581 00:35:56.760 --> 00:36:01.000 But in order to get things done and get things 582 00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:04.400 off to a start, you need to do that first. 583 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.719 It's kind of like, well, you know, you got to 584 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.719 put You've got to do first things first. You know, 585 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.039 Part A, part B, part C have to happen before 586 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:14.239 you can get to part E. 587 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:15.920 And I just. 588 00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:21.280 I mean, I've I've heard about that, but I you know, 589 00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:24.719 it's kind of like you hear things and you you 590 00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:28.280 kind of wonder, okay, well, cooler heads prevail. But I 591 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.360 guess the closer we get to January first, and then 592 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.840 the election of the speaker. I guess we'll see what happens, 593 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.719 but uh, yeah, it never hurts. Hey, it never hurts 594 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.599 to call your congressman or senators and let their offices 595 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.880 know how you feel about certain things. So, uh, that 596 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:48.119 part I would recommend for sure. But hey, Linda, thank 597 00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:49.719 you so much for the phone call. I'm up against 598 00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.719 the clock here. Time to get out of here for 599 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.320 at least the top of the hour. Five one, three, seven, four, 600 00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:58.199 nine fifty one, eight hundred eighty two three talk one 601 00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:00.920 eight hundred eight two three eight two five five pound, 602 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:03.760 five fifty AT and T wireless phone.

Happy Monday to you. 605 00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:26.960 Hope you had a great weekend. By the way, if 606 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.719 you look at my Facebook page, you'll see who we've 607 00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:32.119 got scheduled today. As I always do, I post when 608 00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.199 we have as our guest coming up to seven twenty. 609 00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:40.000 We've got Christopher Smitherman Formers, vice Mayor of Cincinnati in 610 00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.760 the smither Event. And then at eight oh five we'll 611 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:46.920 be talking to Stephen Moser. He's president of Population Research Institute. 612 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:50.360 We'll discuss the myths of the of over the myths 613 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:56.000 of over population, human rights abuse committed by popular population 614 00:37:56.079 --> 00:38:01.000 control programs, the dinam demonic nature of the communist China, 615 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:08.440 and the Population Research Institute pr I as it's known, 616 00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:12.679 and their pro life agenda for twenty twenty five. Stumbling 617 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:16.400 through that, I should have my mouth is has It's 618 00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:20.440 still on a weekend here. Everybody's talking about Jimmy Carter 619 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:25.480 and tributes to pouring in. But some of the interesting 620 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.880 things that I've been seeing too is the fact that 621 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.880 you know, the I don't know how else to say it. 622 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:40.880 It's that the left is just so over the top 623 00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:46.320 as far as Trump derangement syndrome. And if anybody thought 624 00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:49.960 that the left was going to stop, was going to 625 00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:53.519 do what's best for the country, that they would ever 626 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.559 do anything that would benefit the country, if they would 627 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.679 just you know, pay attention to what the landslide election 628 00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:06.159 and say, all right, we need to refocus what we did, 629 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:10.000 what we did wrong, how we blew the election, or 630 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.800 why we lost the election or whatever. 631 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.280 None of this. It's just still the constant attacks. 632 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.159 And I would have to say that I don't understand 633 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:25.559 why anybody on the right pays any attention to or 634 00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:29.960 listens to anything that comes out of Hollywood anymore, anything 635 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:36.920 that comes out of the alphabet news organizations. They're all irrelevant. 636 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:41.360 That was proven as a result of the election. I 637 00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:45.719 call her now oprah win fee because we heard or 638 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.039 found out that, no, she wasn't endorsing Kamala Harris out 639 00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.719 of the goodness of her heart. She was paid to 640 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.519 do so. Al Sharpton, why is he still on MSNBC. 641 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:02.159 Why hasn't he been fired? He was paid to do 642 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:08.320 the glowing interview with Kamala Harris. That's not journalistic integrity, 643 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:11.440 that's not even promoting your ethics as far as the 644 00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:15.400 station is concerned and damaging the brand. And you look 645 00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:17.400 at the ladies of the view, if you look at 646 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.119 the ratings of CNN MSNBC, how they have tanked. It 647 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.760 is just, you know, there's talk that CNN is going 648 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.880 to be spun off and sold, MSNBC is going to 649 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:32.039 be spun off and sold. And when you look back 650 00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:34.960 over the last couple of years, the lies that have 651 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:38.320 been coming from the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream media, 652 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:42.079 nobody should even be taken seriously over there. They shouldn't 653 00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.840 be quoted, you shouldn't watch. And this is one of 654 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:49.480 the rubs I have about Fox, is that more eyes 655 00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:53.360 see what the stupidity on the view or that it 656 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:57.079 is done on any of the other networks by them 657 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.639 showing clips of what they said, than the action viewers 658 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.880 seeing those clips. And what we found out during this 659 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.800 last election is that Hollywood is irrelevant. We learned what 660 00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:13.199 a fraud Oprah win Fee is. We learned what Bruce 661 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.800 Springsteen is a fraud. Beyonce is a fraud. We also 662 00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.440 saw what a fraud Barack Obama is and this was 663 00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:24.719 exposed by the fact that he sung the praises he 664 00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:29.280 selected the Kamala Harris that they organized this coup. And 665 00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:32.400 we see over the last four years all of the 666 00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:36.800 stuff that's been hidden from us, as far as Joe 667 00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:43.280 Biden's decline, and it is astounding to me that nobody 668 00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:46.599 wants to be talking about that. And I think that 669 00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:48.639 one of the things that I talked about this last 670 00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:52.800 week is that there needs to be an investigation, a 671 00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:58.559 deep dive investigation, as to who's been running this country 672 00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:03.639 for the last four years. It obviously wasn't Joe Biden, 673 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.559 and if the aides were making the decision and using 674 00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.360 him as a mouthpiece, that is talk about an existential 675 00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:18.159 threat to democracy where you have the pullet Bureau or 676 00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.280 the advisors running the show and not the person at 677 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:26.840 the top. The president is the head of the country, 678 00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:31.840 and if he's in a diminished capacity, then the constitution 679 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:36.519 demands that the members of the Cabinet do the twenty 680 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:38.719 fifth Amendment and remove him from office. 681 00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:40.440 They didn't do that. 682 00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:46.199 We had all of these network people that talked about how, 683 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.280 you know, I never forget Joe Scarborough, you know this 684 00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:54.239 is the best Joe Biden ever and fu if you 685 00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:57.440 can't handle the truth, that man should never be on 686 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:01.239 the air again. Karine Jean Pierre the lies that she 687 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:05.599 told from the podium, Jen Saki, the lies that she told, 688 00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:09.519 and talking about how sharp behind closed doors, how sharp 689 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:12.599 he was ran rings around people. We saw over the 690 00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:18.760 weekend he spent forty percent of his presidency on vacation, 691 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:24.559 hidden away on the beach, away from the cameras, away 692 00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:29.679 from actually being asked questions. The press was held at 693 00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.519 bay as he's walking to and from Air Force one 694 00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:36.480 or Marine one or whatever, and this was a complete 695 00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.800 cover up, and any of the bills that he signed, 696 00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:45.840 any of the stuff, any of the proclamations that he made, 697 00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:49.079 any of the executive orders that he did, should be 698 00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.679 all and void. And I think it'd be interesting to 699 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:56.639 look at. And I've heard some legal experts say that 700 00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.559 I don't think this can be done. But the pardons 701 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.920 that he is issued, even the pardon of his son, 702 00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:06.639 I think those need to be looked at also, because 703 00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:10.440 if somebody's in a diminished capacity and they go, maybe 704 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:12.960 we won't be able to do something about the son 705 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:17.159 because he might have the mental capacity for that. But 706 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:20.119 the fact is is that if you are of a 707 00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.880 diminished capacity and you're doing stuff, that's all null and void. 708 00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:29.000 You see all the time the situations where in family 709 00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:34.000 and wills and trusts and stuff where the last will 710 00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:39.159 and testament is contested because it's alleged that the person 711 00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:42.239 that wrote the will or that signed the will was 712 00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:45.159 of diminished capacity, and they allitigate that. 713 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.519 I think a case can be made here. 714 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:48.000 Now. 715 00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:48.960 I've heard some of these. 716 00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:52.880 Legal experts that say, well, in order to have these overturned, 717 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:58.000 you have to have a charge, or you have to 718 00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:02.440 have a he health exam, a mental exam, and you 719 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:06.400 have to have it certified or done by a professional, 720 00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.679 by a physician. I think that's bs. I think you 721 00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:15.519 look at the recordings, you look at the tape. It's 722 00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:19.880 not tape, but it's the recordings of Biden's from the 723 00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:25.440 time of during his campaign up unto and the progression 724 00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:29.519 during his presidency, and see that diminished capacity, just the 725 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:34.039 facial features alone, the wandering off, the confusion, not being 726 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:37.599 able to put two sentences together. I think this is 727 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:39.880 the thing that you can make a case that this 728 00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:43.000 was diminished capacity. And to say that you have to 729 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:46.039 do that, well, then I'll say, okay, well, we are 730 00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:49.800 going to overturn every one of these pardons and we're 731 00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:54.480 putting these people back on death row. We're doing away 732 00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:57.960 with what the thirteen hundred pardons that he had already 733 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:04.559 done or commutations, erase those and then start the conversation that, well, 734 00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:06.400 all right, if you want to if you want to 735 00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:09.199 prove this, then okay, Biden's got to take a mental 736 00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:13.239 competency exam. He has to be investigated by doctors, he 737 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:16.840 has to be reviewed by examined by doctors. And again 738 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:19.440 the White House physician. That guy should be that guy 739 00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:22.000 should have his license removed. He should be thrown out 740 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:26.239 of the of the medical profession. I mean, all of 741 00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:28.639 the lies that we have seen, all of the stuff 742 00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:32.039 that has been done to this country. The embarrassment that 743 00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:36.840 this man has created is just astounding and should never go. 744 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.559 I mean talk about you know, as I've said, an 745 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:45.920 existential threat to democracy. And this is key everything that 746 00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:49.880 the left talks about. Whenever the left is accusing anybody 747 00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.280 on the right or making an allegation of anything, know 748 00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:55.719 for a fact that what they're saying is what they've 749 00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:59.519 already done or are doing, because you can go from 750 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:03.199 the Russian hoax to everything else that was accused of 751 00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:06.440 Donald Trump and they are guilty of it. And more so, 752 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.880 you don't bend the law. You don't change the law 753 00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:12.199 so that then now you can prosecute somebody for something 754 00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:15.079 that wasn't against the law before, or that the statute 755 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:17.960 of limitations has run out. And I think, and you know, 756 00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:20.000 when I look at these and when I look at 757 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:23.119 the Hunter Biden, and I don't see anybody talking about 758 00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:28.199 this on a deep dive analysis. When you look at 759 00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:32.760 the broad and with of the pardon of Hunter Biden. 760 00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:37.159 What is that covering up when you go back and 761 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:41.599 that he's pardoned for anything he may have done up 762 00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:46.599 to eleven years ago. How do you pardon somebody from 763 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:50.119 something that they haven't been charged with yet. I don't 764 00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:54.599 know that that's even legal. I mean, if you don't 765 00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:58.480 know what crimes the person committed, and you pardon them 766 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:03.800 for everything lunch, then what if the person murdered somebody 767 00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:07.280 that we don't know about. What about any of the 768 00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.119 other crimes and the connected crimes with the other members 769 00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:13.199 of the family. I don't think that's legitimate. I don't 770 00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:16.719 think in the a reasonable person would look at that 771 00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:20.920 and say that makes sense. And if as as Biden 772 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.960 is going out of office, has been theorized that he 773 00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:27.960 does all these blanket pardons for all these people that 774 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.960 were part of his administration, for people in the media, 775 00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:34.159 for people here, all these different things that they're saying 776 00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:38.159 they ought to do a preemptive pardon for anybody because 777 00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:42.559 they're they're talking about that, Oh, the Trump administration is 778 00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:46.039 going to target individual people with law fair the way 779 00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:48.760 he was targeted with lawfair. Okay, they didn't they didn't 780 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.719 care about that at the time. But because he's going 781 00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.280 supposedly going after his enemies, No, I don't think it's 782 00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:58.800 a matter of going after the enemy, his enemies, because 783 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:02.360 they are our enemy. They are enemies of this country 784 00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:05.760 who perpetrated this lie and all this stuff. As far 785 00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.480 as the Biden administration and these the use of the 786 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.840 Justice Department to attack their rivals, this should be investigated. 787 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:18.719 And if these people are and if these people are pardoned, 788 00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.599 then I would still do the investigation to bring out 789 00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:27.320 the details of what they did, because just sweeping this 790 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:31.039 under the rug isn't going to send a message. Because 791 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.960 these people need to be outed. They need the spotlight 792 00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:37.679 needs to go on them for all the crimes and 793 00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:42.199 all of the misdeeds and the destruction that they attempted 794 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:46.519 at our southern border, with our economy, with everything with 795 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:50.519 this administration. In my opinion, this is an administration and 796 00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:53.599 the people that were part of this administration don't care 797 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:56.400 about this country. They want to see this country or 798 00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:59.559 they wanted to see this country completely torn down to 799 00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:02.639 the bottom and rebuilt. And that is something that I 800 00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:06.039 will never forgive them.

Now talk 813 00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:50.119 you about Jimmy Carter, And I'm encouraging anybody to call 814 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.480 in and with their thoughts of Jimmy Carter and how 815 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:56.280 you viewed his presidency and post presidency. And I will 816 00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:59.920 not dispute how his post presidency was and how he 817 00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:05.519 conducted himself in the post presidency. However, you know, when 818 00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:08.480 you're doing charitable work and you're doing certain things. One 819 00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:11.119 of the things that a lot of post or former 820 00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:15.440 presidents did is that they honored the office from which 821 00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:20.800 they held, and very rarely would they ever, and it 822 00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:26.559 was an unspoken rule that you don't criticize the administration 823 00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:29.960 after you. But it's amazing to me how all those 824 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:33.400 rules change when the Democrats are out of power and 825 00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:36.480 Republicans are in power, because there was numerous times that 826 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:41.639 Jimmy Carter made statements regarding a Republican administration which I 827 00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:47.360 thought was not characteristic of how somebody should be. Now again, 828 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:50.880 his post presidency was stellar, but I found it interesting 829 00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:56.639 that even in Biden's remarks looking at the presidency of 830 00:51:56.760 --> 00:52:03.360 Jimmy Carter actually talked about his foreign policy achievements. One 831 00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:06.679 of them that he listed was returning Panama Canal. 832 00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:07.760 To the host nation. 833 00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:12.320 Really, I think that was one of the worst decisions 834 00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:16.159 that he ever made. We spent our capital, we spent 835 00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:20.360 our bodies of our Americans down there, numerous people that 836 00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:24.480 died building that canal. We made it a neutral site. 837 00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:27.239 We made sure that it had access to all shipping. 838 00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:30.880 So Panama gets control of the canal after being turned 839 00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:34.599 over by Jimmy Carter signing the agreement to turn that over, 840 00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:38.400 and now what we have is a Chinese companies on 841 00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:43.239 both ends of the canal, controlling the passageways, controlling the 842 00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:46.960 freight controlling the rates, and Trump has talked about if 843 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:49.800 those things don't change, if the rates don't come down 844 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.119 for American ships, he's going to take it back over. 845 00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:54.800 And of course everybody's screaming and yelling about that, but 846 00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:56.480 it should never have been turned over to them in 847 00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:59.280 the first part, and that was one of the blotches 848 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.199 against him. The other thing I want to talk about 849 00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:06.360 quickly is this Trump arrangement syndrome even extends to the 850 00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:12.079 Carter death, where people are making comments about something along 851 00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:17.039 the lines on Twitter and other accounts that Carter's last 852 00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:22.639 act of his lifetime was to make sure that he 853 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:25.960 died so that the flags will be at half staff 854 00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:30.960 coming into for the inauguration, that it will be a 855 00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:34.880 symbol of the death of the Republican Party or a 856 00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:39.360 symbol of the death of this country. Really, that's what 857 00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:42.039 you're going to go with the fact that this will 858 00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:45.079 take away from the splendor of having these flags at 859 00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:48.440 half staff, and seeing that, I would take it. 860 00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:50.199 I would look that a different way. 861 00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:52.679 If you're going to go there, which is someplace which 862 00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:54.960 you never should have gone in the first place. 863 00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:56.239 But if you're gonna go that. 864 00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:59.639 Route, if you're just gonna be mean and nasty just 865 00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.800 for this sake of being mean and nasty. Well, I'll 866 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:06.280 take it a step further. What those flags at half 867 00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:09.400 mast are going to symbolize is the death of the 868 00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:13.480 Democratic Party, the death of the spoon fed regurgitators in 869 00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:17.480 the mainstream media, the death of Hollywood, the death of 870 00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:21.320 any possible influence that Obama should ever have in this country. 871 00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:22.320 How's that for you? 872 00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.039 Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five 873 00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:27.760 hundred one, eight hundred eight two three Talk one eight 874 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:30.679 hundred eight two three eight two five five pound, five 875 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:34.079 fifty AT and T wireless phone.

We have to brand 892 00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:24.719 them as they are election deniers. The list is long. 893 00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:26.559 Kamala she started. 894 00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.559 Talking about fight, fight, fight, and she's coming out with 895 00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:33.840 you know, these videos looks like she's still I guess 896 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:36.400 celebrating with bending her elbow. 897 00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:36.840 I don't know. 898 00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:40.440 Hillary, and he got questionable. 899 00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:45.599 Yeah, and then you got the infamous Al Gore. Still 900 00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:49.079 he's an original election denier at least in my generation. 901 00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:50.159 Uh. 902 00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:52.840 And Stacy Abrams and so the list goes on, and 903 00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:57.239 they did not hold back trying to box Republicans and 904 00:55:58.239 --> 00:56:01.960 politicians in and President Trump into asking them, well, will 905 00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:05.880 you accept the election results? Now we've accepted, we've had 906 00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:10.239 the election, and they're still continued continuing to fight, and 907 00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:12.960 it's just is just really wrong. So we have to 908 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:16.360 let them know, just blame them, let them know who 909 00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:19.000 they really are, and that's election deniers. Also, you've got 910 00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.519 these democratic governors and mayors. Who are claiming that they're 911 00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:24.880 going to stand up and fight. And I and I 912 00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:29.280 heard it on when your Sisters station Will he said, hey, 913 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:31.840 these are like the new Confederates. You know, why are 914 00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:35.000 they standing up saying we're not going to cooperate with 915 00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:38.960 law enforcement? It makes no sense. Is that does not 916 00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:40.400 bring our nation together? 917 00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:41.840 Well? 918 00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:44.239 And I think you have to question when you hear 919 00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:46.440 that that they're not going to they're not going to 920 00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:51.960 cooperation and cooperate with ICE or Homeland Security to get 921 00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:57.239 rid of illegal aliens, and especially as they've laid out 922 00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:02.559 that the most violent gambs among them, who in their 923 00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:07.599 right mind want those people in their community, people that 924 00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:10.920 are ignoring the laws. I mean, let's face it, the 925 00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:15.199 people that are here illegally already committed a crime. Now 926 00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:18.480 you know, that's a lesser crime obviously than setting somebody 927 00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:23.280 on fire or murdering somebody or raping somebody. But there's 928 00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:26.320 plenty of those that go around, and you get rid 929 00:57:26.360 --> 00:57:31.159 of those first. You get rid of the gang members, 930 00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:34.239 the people that have been here or that have gotten 931 00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:38.719 here as the prisons and the mental institutions have been 932 00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:42.079 closed in these other countries. You get rid of that first, 933 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.440 and to say that you're not going to cooperate with 934 00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:47.800 any of this, you got to have your head examined. 935 00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:50.880 Well, I think it's illegal. I think it's against the law. 936 00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:53.559 They take an oath to uphold the laws of the nation. 937 00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:56.760 And just because they want to thumb their nose at 938 00:57:56.760 --> 00:58:00.119 President Trump, that Trump hates syndrome is stronger than and 939 00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:03.920 their love for their own fellow Americans and has just 940 00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:07.039 gotten to that tipping point. And I think we need 941 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:11.079 to call it like it is. And uh, also, if 942 00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:13.679 it comes out, what does it find out that maybe 943 00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:16.760 Biden or some of his associates they are maybe getting 944 00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:21.400 some remuneration for some of their commutations and pardons. 945 00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:25.599 You know, it wouldn't I wouldn't put it past them. 946 00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:29.400 I wouldn't. You know, maybe Barry. You know, you go 947 00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:32.280 through a whole list, the laundry list of one of 948 00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.880 the pot partons that you're going to have, but among 949 00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.280 those could be sprinkled a bunch of people that have 950 00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:40.920 either contributed money or going to do a quid pro 951 00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:43.519 quo or something. As long as as far as the 952 00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:46.199 Bidens are concerned, that wouldn't surprise me at all. We 953 00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:49.800 saw this at the tail end of the Clinton administration 954 00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:53.840 when one of the big campaign contributors to him, and 955 00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:56.559 I think I can't remember the one. I remember the 956 00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:02.280 well the woman's uh is wife actually contributed money to 957 00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:07.079 Clinton's and then her husband got exonerated or got a pardon, 958 00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.960 and what was surprising. And you know, these pardons are 959 00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:14.440 not supposed to be just done because it's a whim 960 00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.960 there are the way it's supposed to work. From what 961 00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:22.760 I understand is the Justice Department has these requests, they 962 00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:26.519 go through them, they review them, see if they are worthwhile. 963 00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:30.360 And generally, what somebody has done is they've served their sentence, 964 00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:35.800 they've done better work, they've been model citizens in model 965 00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:39.800 prisoners and then model citizens afterwards and have shown remorse. 966 00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:43.360 But to just do a blanket pardon, and especially for 967 00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:47.280 those thirty seven people that are on death row, that 968 00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.679 to me is a slap in the face to the 969 00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:54.119 American public. It's a slap in the face to the justices. 970 00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:58.800 You know. In other words, apparently there are people that 971 00:59:58.840 --> 00:59:59.639 are above the law. 972 01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:05.920 Apparently, yes, apparently it appears to be so without a doubt. 973 01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:07.719 And finally, I did want to bring this up to 974 01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:10.280 because you've got a guest coming up. You know, when 975 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:13.320 they talk about all the population and they talk about 976 01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:16.280 climate change, and they always say, way, you know COEO 977 01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:19.800 two is the cause of climate change. Well, science tells 978 01:00:19.880 --> 01:00:22.800 me that we exhale COEO two. So when I hear 979 01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:27.239 these global warmings people with their nonsense, what they're really 980 01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:29.360 saying is that we've got too many people breathing. 981 01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:34.639 Well, if you look at Bill Gates and his ilk, 982 01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:40.880 let's not forget that they are all population control people. 983 01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.840 And it amazes me. And it's interesting that when you 984 01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:50.000 look at the pandemic, the population control that that was 985 01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:53.800 supposed to or that brought about. When you look about 986 01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:57.480 all the policies that Bill Gates and his people are pushing, 987 01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:02.360 that's population control. And I you know, when you get 988 01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:06.039 right down to it, this whole environmental movement is nothing 989 01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:09.840 to do with cleaning up the planet making things better 990 01:01:09.880 --> 01:01:12.920 for the American people. It is all about control. We 991 01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:15.440 see it in terms of what kind of car you're 992 01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:18.679 going to drive, obviously the availability of how far you 993 01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:20.639 can drive with that car if you've got an EV 994 01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:24.440 because they certainly don't have the infrastructure. They want you 995 01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:27.840 to dictate where you live, where you eat, or where 996 01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:30.719 you live, what you live, where you live and what 997 01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:33.400 you live in, how you heat your food, what food 998 01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:36.000 you can eat, how you can eat, your home and everything. 999 01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:38.280 It's all about control, and it has nothing to do 1000 01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:41.440 with cleaning the planet. It's all about control, and that 1001 01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:44.679 has more to do with communism, which again I think 1002 01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:47.079 that a lot of people on the left would prefer 1003 01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:49.679 that it has more to do with communism. That's why 1004 01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:53.400 I'm always mashed the two together. Environmentalism has become the 1005 01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:59.519 new communism. So I just call it climunism, and yeah, yeah, exactly. 1006 01:01:59.880 --> 01:02:03.079 And so for them to try to push these policies 1007 01:02:03.119 --> 01:02:07.599 through when the science doesn't dictate behind it, and when 1008 01:02:07.599 --> 01:02:11.360 we look at some of the actual climate scientists that 1009 01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:15.840 say there is no existential threat with climate change, that 1010 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:18.679 climate change is a myth, all of a sudden, nobody 1011 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:20.639 wants to talk about science. They only want to talk 1012 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:23.280 about their science, not the actual science. 1013 01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:27.079 Yes, sir, Well, God bless you, and God bless audience, 1014 01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:29.320 and have a healthy, prosperous new year. 1015 01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.159 Same to you, my friend, Same to you. 1016 01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:34.920 Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five, 1017 01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:37.840 eight hundred eight two three talk one eight hundred eight 1018 01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:40.440 two three eight two, five five pound, five fifty AT 1019 01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:43.039 and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 1020 01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:45.119 fifty five KRC, the talk station. 1021 01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:49.159 This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station. 1022 01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:03.960 Six forty three in the morning, Kevin Gordon and for 1023 01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:07.920 Brian Thomas, fifty five k R see the talk station. Yeah, 1024 01:03:08.159 --> 01:03:10.960 I find it interesting that as we're talking about the 1025 01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:15.360 Carter years and talking about the accomplishments. Yeah, there were 1026 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.880 some accomplishments during his period of time. He did broke 1027 01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.559 of the piece or had the was a Camp David 1028 01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:24.599 Accords between Israel and Egypt, and it was one of 1029 01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:28.480 the It was the first Arab country to actually recognize 1030 01:03:28.880 --> 01:03:32.880 Israel's right to exist, which had not been done in 1031 01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:40.159 the Arab countries up to that point. There were significant 1032 01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:45.760 accomplishments there, but as far as economy, it was a 1033 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:51.000 disaster when we had you know, remember back when I 1034 01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:54.239 keep going back through and I'm looking at different stories, 1035 01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:57.840 you remember he started having They weren't I forget what 1036 01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:00.440 they called him, but they were not the There were 1037 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:04.480 the fireside type chats that trying to harken back to 1038 01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:08.519 the days of FDR and him sitting there at the 1039 01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:13.360 fireplace and in his cardigan sweater and talking about the 1040 01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:17.159 energy crisis that we had in this country. The fact 1041 01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:20.079 that you know, to do your part, that if we 1042 01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.480 had just turned our thermostats back during the day and 1043 01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:27.039 at night, we could save half the amount of the 1044 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.920 amount of oil that we were short as far as 1045 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:35.320 the incoming supplies. This was all during the gas crisis, 1046 01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:40.360 and the lines as far as gasoline lines at gas 1047 01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:46.039 stations and so on. But the tempt you know, when 1048 01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:50.159 we talk about lowering the temperature. You know, most people 1049 01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:53.800 they have their house I think probably around what seventy 1050 01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:58.800 two degrees normally or seventy degrees, and people when they 1051 01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:01.719 talk about cutting back, they talk about, well, cut that 1052 01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:10.000 thermostat down to around sixty seven, maybe sixty eight somewhere 1053 01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:14.119 around there, and conserve energy. But during the Carter years, 1054 01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:18.280 he was talking about lowering that thermostat during the day 1055 01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:23.079 down to sixty five and then at night down to 1056 01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:29.840 fifty five. You know what kind of a that talks 1057 01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:32.519 to me, And that speaks to me of a failure 1058 01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:39.280 of trying to institute and a sustainable energy policy instead 1059 01:05:39.360 --> 01:05:42.400 of making sure that we have enough supplies for the 1060 01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:47.239 American people, in other words, making instead of making things 1061 01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:50.320 better for the American people, we should settle for something 1062 01:05:50.519 --> 01:05:54.440 less and that we should do our part to sacrifice 1063 01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:59.559 for the country. And because of his failed policies and 1064 01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:03.239 the fact that we had rising inflation under his presidency, 1065 01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:06.119 the fact that we had the gas lines, the fact 1066 01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:10.000 that we had the general overall melees in terms of 1067 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:13.920 it seemed like the American dream had failed, that the 1068 01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:17.400 American dream was not working, and that we had to 1069 01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:23.400 rebuild and to get a better attitude going forward. It 1070 01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:29.079 struck me as failure, an admission of failure, this whole 1071 01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:32.199 idea that our best days are behind us, and I'm 1072 01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:36.280 not buying that. That's why in nineteen eighty during the election, 1073 01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:40.480 when Ronald Reagan came along, that the original hope and 1074 01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:45.599 change candidate, the candidate that was optimistic, that always looked 1075 01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:50.079 for the brighter days of America and American prosperity, the 1076 01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:53.639 shining city on the hill. That's why he won in 1077 01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:58.960 a landslide election. Because people, the American people, want better, 1078 01:06:59.320 --> 01:07:03.320 They deserve better, They work hard to get better, and 1079 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:06.079 they should be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. 1080 01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:09.840 Much the same mirror of the situation the way we've 1081 01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:13.000 seen it with the Biden administration over the last four years. 1082 01:07:13.239 --> 01:07:16.119 Talk about a comparison. 1083 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:17.360 And I tell you what. 1084 01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:20.840 There is a picture that the Associated Press is running 1085 01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:26.000 out there that shows Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden together, 1086 01:07:27.159 --> 01:07:29.159 And if you want to look at the picture, it's 1087 01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:33.519 on one of the headlines on axios. And I'll tell you. 1088 01:07:34.039 --> 01:07:37.320 When you look back at Joe Biden in his days 1089 01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:40.039 in the Senate, and you look at the scowl, and 1090 01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:44.599 you look at how he treated Clarence Thomas during the 1091 01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:49.280 head of the Judiciary Committee, this man has just got 1092 01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:53.000 the creepiest look on his face all the time. How 1093 01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:57.519 this guy ever got to a leadership position and ever 1094 01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:01.719 made his way to the presidency always will boggle my mind. 1095 01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:04.880 This guy should have been stopped day one. This guy 1096 01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:07.639 should never have been re elected as Senator. And that 1097 01:08:07.800 --> 01:08:12.079 just shows you, at least in my mind, how off beat, 1098 01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:15.360 or how behind the curve or whatever the people of 1099 01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:18.800 Delaware that would keep returning this man to office. Phone 1100 01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:21.520 numbers five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred one, 1101 01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:23.920 eight hundred eighty two three talk one, eight hundred eighty 1102 01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:26.520 two three eight two five five pound, five point fifty 1103 01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:29.960 AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 1104 01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:31.399 fifty five KRC. 1105 01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:35.880 The talk station fifty five KRC. Trust him Will knows 1106 01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:36.520 that we'll up. 1107 01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:40.359 Sex fifty three in the morning. 1108 01:08:40.439 --> 01:08:42.880 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KAR see 1109 01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:43.720 the talk station. 1110 01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:44.159 We wait. 1111 01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:45.800 Are talking to me a little bit about Jimmy Carter 1112 01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:48.880 and the passing of Jimmy Carter. Of course the left 1113 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:52.359 and Democrats are are singing his praises, and of course 1114 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:56.079 a lot of people are doing their their normal tributes. 1115 01:08:56.560 --> 01:09:02.159 People are speaking fondly of him. But you know, I 1116 01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:04.119 I the passing of anybody that lives to be one 1117 01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:09.479 hundred is certainly remarkable, and the fact that there were 1118 01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:13.880 certain accomplishments that he did do that that were good. Overall, 1119 01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:18.119 he seemed to be somewhat of a decent person, although 1120 01:09:18.399 --> 01:09:22.960 as I mentioned earlier, I don't know, somebody's legacy could 1121 01:09:22.960 --> 01:09:25.920 be very well if they're pro choice, So I would 1122 01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:28.840 that was to be a big mark against that person. 1123 01:09:30.119 --> 01:09:33.399 No doubt about it that his presidency was marked as 1124 01:09:33.439 --> 01:09:40.319 being the worst presidency in history. Fortunately he lived long 1125 01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:44.239 enough to see the absolute worst presidency than his with 1126 01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:47.159 Joe Biden. So at least he goes out on a 1127 01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:51.239 high note. But I don't want to sugarcoat the Carter years. 1128 01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:53.600 They were not good for the country. There were a 1129 01:09:53.600 --> 01:09:56.399 lot of mistakes made and kind of laid the groundwork 1130 01:09:56.479 --> 01:09:59.560 of some of the problems that we're facing today now. 1131 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:03.760 The certain accomplishments that should be praised, but we should 1132 01:10:03.840 --> 01:10:08.479 have a realistic view of somebody, because I mean, at 1133 01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:13.439 least I'm not doing what the left does when somebody 1134 01:10:13.479 --> 01:10:17.039 like Rush Limbaugh died or Ronald Reagan died. I mean, 1135 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:20.560 they did everything but dance on the grave of those 1136 01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:24.039 people and talked about, you know, thank goodness they're dead, 1137 01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:27.279 Thank goodness that they're gone. We praise the fact. I'm 1138 01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:29.920 not going there. I'm just saying we need to take 1139 01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:34.000 a critical look and a realistic view of this Carter 1140 01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:38.720 administration and his overall legacy, all the good as well 1141 01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:42.880 as the bad. Coming up top of the hour, we'll 1142 01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:44.960 take some of your phone calls, see what your opinion is. 1143 01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:47.319 Let me know what you feel about the Carter years 1144 01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:49.920 and what you remember about the Carter years. Five pet 1145 01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:52.680 three seven, four nine, fifty five hundred one eight hundred 1146 01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:55.079 eight two three talk one eight hundred eight two three 1147 01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:58.079 eight two five five pound five point fifty AT and 1148 01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:01.479 T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty 1149 01:11:01.479 --> 01:11:16.159 five k s DE talk station, five minutes after seven o'clock, 1150 01:11:16.920 --> 01:11:21.000 Happy Monday to you. We are talking about we have 1151 01:11:21.119 --> 01:11:25.600 been talking over the last hours, couple hours, talking about, well, 1152 01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:27.840 a little bit about the Bengals, talking a little bit 1153 01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:32.439 about their great victory on Saturday, talking about the presidency. 1154 01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:32.600 Of Jimmy Carter. 1155 01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:37.399 And I'm I don't know, I think I've been somewhat kind. 1156 01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:43.479 What do you think out there talking about Producer I'm 1157 01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:45.760 getting a thumbs up from him. In terms of my 1158 01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:49.880 talking about Jimmy Carter. I think I've been pretty fair, 1159 01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:52.279 don't you think just a little bit? Yeah, pretty much. 1160 01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:56.560 But you know, I'm not gonna just ignore all the 1161 01:11:56.640 --> 01:12:00.840 stuff that that that were bad during the Carter years. 1162 01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:06.520 I'm going to recognize the good. When anybody dies, that 1163 01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:10.840 is sad. I mean, because no matter what, somebody's losing 1164 01:12:10.880 --> 01:12:14.920 a parent, somebody's losing a family member, somebody's losing a friend, 1165 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:21.439 no matter what age they die. But this canonizing him 1166 01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:24.680 for santhood I think is a little over the top. However, 1167 01:12:24.760 --> 01:12:26.640 I mean, there were a lot of things that went 1168 01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:30.199 on during the Carter years that were not good. By 1169 01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:33.319 a lot of estimation, he was one of the worst 1170 01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:38.359 presidents we've ever had. Of course, now the current president, 1171 01:12:38.960 --> 01:12:41.960 Joe Biden, has beat him as far as that's concerned, 1172 01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:43.840 so at least he gets to go out of this 1173 01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:46.840 world on a high note. But again, we're not going 1174 01:12:46.920 --> 01:12:49.279 to sugarcoat it. By the way, if you look at 1175 01:12:49.319 --> 01:12:52.319 my Facebook page, you'll know that I have a list 1176 01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:54.760 there of guess that we're going to have today, and 1177 01:12:54.920 --> 01:12:57.439 just run down that real quickly for you. Coming up 1178 01:12:57.479 --> 01:12:59.199 at seven twenty and we're going to be talking to 1179 01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:03.399 Christopher's P. Smither Money is the former vice mayor of Cincinnati, 1180 01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:07.680 doing the Smither Vent. And then at seven or at 1181 01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:10.239 eight o'clock we're going to be talking about after the News. 1182 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:13.199 Eight oh five, we're talking with Steven Moser. He is 1183 01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:18.159 president of the Population Research Institute. Their acronym is PRI. 1184 01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:23.479 We will discuss the myth of overpopulation, humor and rights 1185 01:13:23.520 --> 01:13:28.960 abuses committed in population control programs, and the demonic nature 1186 01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:33.039 of the communist China, and of course PRI's pro life 1187 01:13:33.359 --> 01:13:36.920 goals for twenty twenty five. Looking forward to speaking with 1188 01:13:37.039 --> 01:13:41.600 him for sure. Now, as far as I did see that, 1189 01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:45.840 they did establish the date and time for the Bengals 1190 01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:49.439 game against Pittsburgh. That's going to be at eight o'clock 1191 01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:54.159 eight pm on Saturday, So looking forward to that. Now, 1192 01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:58.640 as we've seen over the last couple of days, they've 1193 01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:01.720 been talking about watching some of these games of the 1194 01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:05.560 weekend and they start talking about, well, your next opponent 1195 01:14:05.680 --> 01:14:07.840 and what are you doing, and he said, well, you know, 1196 01:14:07.920 --> 01:14:10.000 we don't know what date, we don't know what time. 1197 01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:11.800 They're moving the schedule around. 1198 01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.000 I guess to get as many eyes or to get 1199 01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:18.680 as many likes, or get the most people watching those 1200 01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:21.840 games for I guess the most revenue or the most 1201 01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:25.079 revenue that they can get for those games. So they're 1202 01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:29.520 changing the schedule around to accommodate different teams and to 1203 01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:32.680 try to get as many eyes on those for advertising revenue. 1204 01:14:33.079 --> 01:14:35.000 So it'll be interesting to see that. But we do 1205 01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:38.720 know the Bengals will be on eight o'clock on Saturday, 1206 01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:41.760 so looking forward to that. It was a great game 1207 01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:43.439 of the weekend. I don't know if you watched it, 1208 01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:48.000 but it was very entertaining and a lot of very 1209 01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:51.880 in my opinion, let's just put it this way, it 1210 01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:53.760 was one of the best games that I've seen in 1211 01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:55.159 a very, very long time. 1212 01:14:55.279 --> 01:14:58.000 So that's my two cents worth. 1213 01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:02.760 We've been seeing, we've been talking about what is going 1214 01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:06.399 on as far as Trump derangement syndrome. We've been talking 1215 01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:08.079 a little bit about and we've been seeing a lot 1216 01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:10.479 of people on the left how they're going to try 1217 01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:14.640 to derail this administration, how they're going to try to 1218 01:15:14.680 --> 01:15:18.039 throw up roadblocks, and how they're going to try to 1219 01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:22.640 undermine this incoming administration. I think one of the worst 1220 01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:25.760 things or one of the and I don't know why, 1221 01:15:26.800 --> 01:15:30.439 And it puzzles me to no end why anybody at 1222 01:15:30.439 --> 01:15:34.119 this point in time is even paying attention to anybody 1223 01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:37.520 in the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream media, as 1224 01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:41.079 I refer to them, because all they've done over the 1225 01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:44.279 last four years is lie to us. They talked about 1226 01:15:44.439 --> 01:15:47.800 Trump being an existential threat to democracy, and that's just 1227 01:15:47.880 --> 01:15:50.279 not a term that's thrown out there. When you say 1228 01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:53.479 something as an existential threat, you mean that it is 1229 01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:57.520 a threat to the existence of whatever comes next. If 1230 01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:01.319 you're saying an existential threat to the world as far 1231 01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:05.560 as climate change is concerned, existential threat to democracy, you're 1232 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:09.079 talking about a threat to the existence of democracy. Now 1233 01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:15.439 you know Hitler Mussolini, two assassination attempts on him, and 1234 01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:20.399 yet they don't even tone down or dial down the rhetoric. 1235 01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:24.079 It's still that he's evil personified. They want to refer 1236 01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:26.000 to him as a felon, They were going to refer 1237 01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:29.680 to him as a as a law breaker, as a rave, 1238 01:16:29.960 --> 01:16:32.000 all these kinds of things that they want to throw 1239 01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:35.039 at him. People have already made the decision on that. 1240 01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:38.319 People have heard all the crap that you've thrown out there, 1241 01:16:38.520 --> 01:16:42.439 and they still elected him overwhelmingly because they looked at 1242 01:16:42.439 --> 01:16:45.319 the alternative. They looked at their wallets, they looked at 1243 01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:48.119 their four oh one case, they looked at now again, 1244 01:16:48.199 --> 01:16:51.560 the market has been good, but the downside of that 1245 01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:56.239 has been a horrible economy, high inflation, people can't afford homes, 1246 01:16:56.399 --> 01:17:00.000 people living paycheck to paycheck, and people said enough is enough, 1247 01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.760 we need to go in a different direction. And yet 1248 01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:06.039 the people on the left are going to continue to 1249 01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:10.039 attack after they've told us for four years Joe Scarborough 1250 01:17:10.199 --> 01:17:12.840 and the like that this version of Biden is the 1251 01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:16.920 best that's ever been. He runs rings around everybody, anybody 1252 01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:22.000 associated with his administration, anybody that has reported on his administration, 1253 01:17:22.359 --> 01:17:26.119 anybody that interviewed him and didn't out him, the members 1254 01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:29.239 of his own cabinet that didn't put forth the twenty 1255 01:17:29.239 --> 01:17:32.000 fifth Amendment and get him out of office because of 1256 01:17:32.039 --> 01:17:35.640 his diminished capacity. None of these people should be anywhere 1257 01:17:35.640 --> 01:17:39.239 in the position of power. Why Jensaki still has a 1258 01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:44.560 show on what is an MSNBC, John Kareeine Jean Pierre 1259 01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:48.640 should never be anywhere near a government position ever. Again, 1260 01:17:49.279 --> 01:17:52.840 all of these newscasters that lied about his condition and 1261 01:17:52.880 --> 01:17:54.560 lied to the American people about that. 1262 01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:55.479 And then. 1263 01:17:56.920 --> 01:18:00.279 What we need to look at is what has what 1264 01:18:00.359 --> 01:18:05.039 has he done, and what has he What commutations has 1265 01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:09.039 he done, What executive orders has he done? Anything that 1266 01:18:09.079 --> 01:18:12.399 he has done as far as any mandates, those should 1267 01:18:12.399 --> 01:18:16.680 all be reversed immediately, because in a diminished capacity, even 1268 01:18:16.720 --> 01:18:20.479 the commutation of sentences, all those commutations of the thirty 1269 01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:24.399 seven people on death row, all the different pardons, was 1270 01:18:24.399 --> 01:18:27.520 it thirteen hundred or so pardons that he let out 1271 01:18:28.600 --> 01:18:31.359 or gave out a few weeks ago. I think Hunter 1272 01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:36.960 and Biden's pardons should be looked at as well. How 1273 01:18:37.000 --> 01:18:41.159 do you how do you take a person and say 1274 01:18:41.680 --> 01:18:44.840 we're going to issue a blanket of pardon going back 1275 01:18:44.880 --> 01:18:51.800 eleven years without knowing what the heck you know crimes 1276 01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:55.399 have been committed. If the crimes were committed, then how 1277 01:18:55.479 --> 01:18:58.479 do you how do you pass on that? How do 1278 01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:01.079 you look at that and say, well, no matter what 1279 01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:05.199 he has done, we are not going to prosecute him. 1280 01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:10.079 That is crazy, And so again it's something that needs 1281 01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:12.600 to be looked at. I've heard people, I've heard some 1282 01:19:12.680 --> 01:19:17.000 legal people that supposedly know what they're talking about, saying 1283 01:19:17.039 --> 01:19:20.640 that until you have a competency hearing, until you realize 1284 01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:24.119 or make the determination that somebody is not competent, you 1285 01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:26.359 can't you know, like you know, as we see in 1286 01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:28.840 some of these cases where you challenge a will, where 1287 01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:33.359 you challenge somebody's mental capacity in terms of their last 1288 01:19:33.399 --> 01:19:36.439 will and testament, that where those have been contested because 1289 01:19:36.479 --> 01:19:40.600 they are of diminished capacity, Well, the same thing would 1290 01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:43.640 be true here. And unless you do a thorough examination 1291 01:19:43.720 --> 01:19:46.920 of Biden and then look at that in terms of 1292 01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:50.359 the progression of the disease apparently that he may have 1293 01:19:50.720 --> 01:19:54.199 in terms of dementia, how far back that extends, and 1294 01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:56.720 look at what he's done up to that point. I 1295 01:19:56.760 --> 01:19:59.319 think that all needs to be looked at, and anything 1296 01:19:59.399 --> 01:20:04.439 that he did that he was of mental capacity diminishmental 1297 01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:06.880 capacity should be an all and void. You would do 1298 01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:09.000 that for a family member, You would do that in 1299 01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:11.680 any business, You do that in any type of situation. 1300 01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:14.680 But somehow, as president, you get a pass on that. 1301 01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:17.960 I'm sorry, I don't buy that, and I think it's 1302 01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:20.680 and let him, let him take it to court. And 1303 01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:24.199 any of these people that he pardons, any of these 1304 01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:29.079 people that he's done or has pardoned, I think should 1305 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:32.439 be looked at and the facts for that, because the 1306 01:20:32.520 --> 01:20:35.560 Justice Department is supposed to do certain things as far 1307 01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:38.960 as recommendations, and they're supposed to look at these and 1308 01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:41.560 make sure and recommend them to the president. He just 1309 01:20:41.600 --> 01:20:43.840 doesn't pick a number, a name out of a hat, 1310 01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:46.720 any name and just does blanket. 1311 01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:48.479 Pardons. 1312 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:51.640 That just is not done. So this all needs to 1313 01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:54.159 be looked at. Coming up, we're gonna be talking at 1314 01:20:54.199 --> 01:20:58.039 Christopher Smithman at seven twenty. So we'll let we'll take 1315 01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.000 a we'll take a break here and then come back 1316 01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:03.880 with Christopher Smithman. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas 1317 01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:18.920 fifty five krs the Talk Station seven twenty in the morning. 1318 01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:21.399 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas. 1319 01:21:21.199 --> 01:21:23.439 Fifty five krs The Talton Day. 1320 01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:27.279 What an appropriate song? No, Yes, absolutely, I will not 1321 01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:30.119 back down. As you know, I have an opinion. I'm 1322 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:32.800 not afraid to use it. And when I see him, 1323 01:21:32.800 --> 01:21:34.039 I call him like I see him. 1324 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:35.640 And that's just though how I. 1325 01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:39.479 Flow looking at h Well, probably I'm going to go 1326 01:21:39.560 --> 01:21:42.000 down this list and at some point in time and 1327 01:21:42.279 --> 01:21:45.520 talk about all the all the frauds that there are 1328 01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:46.399 in Hollywood. 1329 01:21:47.720 --> 01:21:51.479 I want to compare and contrast. Probably might don't throw off. 1330 01:21:51.520 --> 01:21:53.760 I'll do it today, but maybe tomorrow we'll do this 1331 01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:58.319 compare and contrasting of the list of people back in 1332 01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:02.720 twenty sixteen that said that if Trump was elected president 1333 01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:05.520 that they're going to move out of the country, and 1334 01:22:06.119 --> 01:22:09.079 I'm not sure that any one of them actually ever did. 1335 01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:13.960 Then in twenty twenty four now there's a whole new 1336 01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:16.399 list of people that have said that they're going to 1337 01:22:16.760 --> 01:22:21.520 leave the country because Trump got elected president, and it's 1338 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:23.560 going to be interesting to see how many are on 1339 01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:25.560 the list. And it's like, how can you leave when 1340 01:22:25.600 --> 01:22:27.920 you said you were going to leave before? So it's 1341 01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:30.279 all a fraud. The people in Hollywood are not to 1342 01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:33.399 be taken seriously. And I don't know why anybody's paying 1343 01:22:33.399 --> 01:22:36.359 attention to any of the spoon fed regurgitators in the 1344 01:22:36.399 --> 01:22:40.560 mainstream media. And we got Christopher smither in here. Christopher, 1345 01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:43.720 welcome to the program. Happy New Year, and how you been. 1346 01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:46.239 I'm doing good. 1347 01:22:46.760 --> 01:22:49.600 And I hope you had to marry Christmasson and I 1348 01:22:49.640 --> 01:22:51.399 hope you have a happy New Year. 1349 01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:52.279 I did. 1350 01:22:52.439 --> 01:22:55.000 Let's just stay with your stay with your theme, brother. 1351 01:22:56.119 --> 01:22:58.199 I mean, people want to leave the greatest country in 1352 01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:02.000 the world, right is where this is. Everybody's trying to 1353 01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:04.760 get in. Yeah, and you have people on the West 1354 01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:06.800 Coast saying they want to leave. Let's give them a 1355 01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:08.960 one way ticket. Let's get a go fund me if 1356 01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:09.640 they need. 1357 01:23:09.439 --> 01:23:12.359 One, you bet and ship them out exactly. 1358 01:23:12.399 --> 01:23:15.159 Now. The deal has to be Kevin, is they can't 1359 01:23:15.239 --> 01:23:18.319 come back? Yes, okay, So it's not like you go 1360 01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:22.119 and then you come back. No, you are gone for 1361 01:23:22.199 --> 01:23:24.680 the rest of your life. You give up your passport, 1362 01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:27.640 you give up your citizenship and we don't want you 1363 01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:29.800 to come back. It's a one way ticket. 1364 01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:35.039 Yeah, And it's it's as if people forget or they 1365 01:23:35.119 --> 01:23:39.800 ask the question, or are not asked the question, Where 1366 01:23:39.800 --> 01:23:41.359 would you go where it's any better? 1367 01:23:42.039 --> 01:23:43.920 Where? Where do you want to go to? 1368 01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:49.760 Europe where they're looking at their jumping full both feed 1369 01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:52.840 in with this green energy technology and you're going to 1370 01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:55.760 be freezing during the winter because you don't have enough 1371 01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:59.039 electricity keep the lights on. You're going to go to 1372 01:23:59.520 --> 01:24:03.279 a count country like England who is seeing a record 1373 01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:08.560 inflation there. They don't have their act together, European Union, Where. 1374 01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:13.520 Are you going to go? Just amazing, amazing. 1375 01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:17.920 It's this notion and this is why you know this year, 1376 01:24:18.960 --> 01:24:21.279 you know when you heard so many people out there 1377 01:24:21.319 --> 01:24:23.800 saying they don't like our country, they don't like our flag, 1378 01:24:24.159 --> 01:24:26.199 They don't want to say the pleasure legiance, they don't 1379 01:24:26.239 --> 01:24:29.439 want to stand and cover their heart when the when 1380 01:24:29.479 --> 01:24:32.199 the national anthem is being sung. They want to take 1381 01:24:32.239 --> 01:24:35.039 a knee for the flag. While we've got people on 1382 01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:41.039 the front lines protecting our democracies all over the world, 1383 01:24:41.640 --> 01:24:44.399 right and those soldiers are coming back who are now 1384 01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:48.119 veterans and you got people saying they don't love our country. 1385 01:24:48.199 --> 01:24:51.680 This year was so bizarre. The other thing, Kevin in this, 1386 01:24:51.880 --> 01:24:54.039 in my my vent to you, is it was a 1387 01:24:54.159 --> 01:24:58.239 year to divide the black brothers from their white brothers. 1388 01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:00.119 And so this notion of it, I'm going to to 1389 01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:02.399 be divisive, and I'm going to make sure I look 1390 01:25:02.439 --> 01:25:05.680 at you with a slanted eye. There has to be 1391 01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:10.319 something nefarious about you because of your race, undermining us 1392 01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:14.279 as Americans. This year was all about that, and ultimately 1393 01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:17.079 it failed on November the sixth, where Americans said, you 1394 01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:20.800 know what, I reject those narratives. I love my country, right, 1395 01:25:21.079 --> 01:25:24.039 I don't want to defund the police department. And my 1396 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:27.720 neighbor who happens to be African American isn't my enemy. 1397 01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:31.079 And my neighbor who happens to be white isn't my enemy. 1398 01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:35.119 That was all baked into the November election, and Americans 1399 01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:38.239 rejected the narrative, most from the Democratic Party. 1400 01:25:38.479 --> 01:25:43.439 Well, you know, Christopher Smeatherman, my guests, the I believe 1401 01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:47.560 that this actually this goes back to the Obama administration. 1402 01:25:48.159 --> 01:25:51.319 I believe that during his presidency, you look at the 1403 01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:56.920 situation of potential transformational figure somebody who is of mixed 1404 01:25:56.960 --> 01:26:02.119 race is elected president and over well enough to get elected, 1405 01:26:02.159 --> 01:26:04.760 I'm not well, it was kind of that was a 1406 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:06.079 pretty one sided election. 1407 01:26:06.399 --> 01:26:08.199 McCain really didn't. 1408 01:26:08.239 --> 01:26:11.000 I mean it was anyway, whatever the numbers were, all right, 1409 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:15.439 now here is an opportunity to bring the races together. 1410 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:18.239 Here is a way of saying that, no, we don't 1411 01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:21.640 have a racist country. After all, I got elected. Here 1412 01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:23.800 is what I'm going to try to do to bring 1413 01:26:23.840 --> 01:26:27.760 this country together. But instead it was this constant divide 1414 01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:32.720 any type of talking about that what was the Trayvon 1415 01:26:32.800 --> 01:26:37.359 Martin could have been my son talking about having the 1416 01:26:37.399 --> 01:26:43.600 beer summit. Because that Lewis Gates or whatever his name is, 1417 01:26:43.880 --> 01:26:49.520 that at Harvard or University was approached by a police 1418 01:26:49.520 --> 01:26:52.479 officer and ask if he belonged in the neighborhood there, 1419 01:26:53.279 --> 01:26:57.159 Lewis Gates Junior. Now that was all divisive. This was 1420 01:26:57.199 --> 01:27:01.439 stuff that he did, his going around the world apologizing 1421 01:27:01.520 --> 01:27:04.399 for America and dividing one group against the other. And 1422 01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:07.159 I think it started with him and it just progressed on. 1423 01:27:07.520 --> 01:27:10.359 And you're right, this business of you know, going back 1424 01:27:10.399 --> 01:27:13.920 to the twenty twenty election, you know, if you don't 1425 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:17.239 vote for me. You ain't black the whole nine yards this. 1426 01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:20.079 You know, how do you ruin a country, Christopher? You 1427 01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:25.479 divide individual groups off, you take away the unity, and 1428 01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:29.399 you divide them off, and you tear them apart individually 1429 01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:32.359 down to the core, and then by the time you 1430 01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:34.079 get around everybody, there's nobody left. 1431 01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:37.960 Well I can I can share with you, Kevin. I 1432 01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:41.800 don't think our country was divided by any one president. 1433 01:27:42.159 --> 01:27:45.399 There's been a lot of them. One died. My condolences 1434 01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:49.640 for the president who died, Carter yesterday, and we can 1435 01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:52.560 talk about Lyndon Johnson, we can talk about any of 1436 01:27:52.560 --> 01:27:56.199 those presidents that have come prior before. But at the 1437 01:27:56.359 --> 01:27:59.960 end of the day, over the last four years, President 1438 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:05.439 Biden was the president, and he ran on this notion 1439 01:28:06.079 --> 01:28:09.880 that you and I are different in some kind of way, 1440 01:28:09.960 --> 01:28:12.159 based on in my opinion, based on our race. And 1441 01:28:12.199 --> 01:28:14.560 I think you made the comment if you're not black, 1442 01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:17.560 if you if you don't vote for me, those kinds 1443 01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:21.079 of things didn't help, and it didn't help the Vice 1444 01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:24.680 President Harris at all in her bid for reelection. People 1445 01:28:24.680 --> 01:28:26.920 are just tired of it. They want people to get 1446 01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:30.640 up every day, go to work, handle your business, you know, 1447 01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:32.960 if you're talking about I want to go to school, 1448 01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:35.960 go to school, handle your business, whether you're in the 1449 01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:39.079 first grade or kindergarten, or whether you're a college student. 1450 01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:43.000 If this is about work, this is about success in 1451 01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:47.199 your merit. That's what this country is built on. And 1452 01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:49.560 so at the end of the day, which was so 1453 01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:54.319 interesting going into November sixth, even after the rejection, if 1454 01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:57.800 you listen to mainstream media, Kevin, they still haven't gotten 1455 01:28:57.840 --> 01:29:01.000 the lesson. They're still out here doing the exact same 1456 01:29:01.079 --> 01:29:04.800 thing they did before the election. And so I'm sitting 1457 01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:09.159 there going can you all learn anything from what just happened. 1458 01:29:09.359 --> 01:29:12.239 It's been a it's been a very interesting listen. And 1459 01:29:12.279 --> 01:29:15.520 I've been watching CNN, I've been watching MSNBC. I've been 1460 01:29:15.520 --> 01:29:19.119 trying to wait to see have they heard from the 1461 01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:22.239 American people and any of those people who've been watching it, 1462 01:29:22.439 --> 01:29:25.159 who are who are who are viewing the lens to 1463 01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:27.720 maybe where you and I are seeing it. They haven't 1464 01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:31.680 learned their lesson. There's still talking to continue the same narrative. 1465 01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:35.199 Yeah, they're talking the same narrative that they've been talking 1466 01:29:35.199 --> 01:29:38.239 for the last four years and up to and through 1467 01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:41.359 the election, and why any And well, you see it 1468 01:29:41.399 --> 01:29:43.520 in the ratings. You see it that that their ratings 1469 01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:47.000 are plumbing, and that's an indication that people have turned 1470 01:29:47.039 --> 01:29:50.239 them off. And I maintained that the only reason that 1471 01:29:50.279 --> 01:29:54.119 they're getting any airtime at all is because some of 1472 01:29:54.199 --> 01:29:57.920 the conservative outlets like Fox News will show clips of them, 1473 01:29:58.680 --> 01:30:01.399 and there's more eyes look at those clips than when 1474 01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:05.359 the actual clip occurred on that individual show on that network. 1475 01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:07.600 And Christopher Smitherman, you know the deal here. We got 1476 01:30:07.640 --> 01:30:09.319 to take a break real quick, Bob in the hour, 1477 01:30:09.520 --> 01:30:11.399 and when we come back, we'll pick this all up. 1478 01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:15.720 My guest Christopher Smitherman for Cincinnati Vice Mayor and of 1479 01:30:15.760 --> 01:30:18.039 course just all around great guy and will continue with 1480 01:30:18.359 --> 01:30:21.439 the smither Vent. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 1481 01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:24.159 fifty five krs, the Talk Station. 1482 01:30:24.199 --> 01:30:27.039 Fifty five the Talk Station. 1483 01:30:27.319 --> 01:30:28.880 A Minute of Hope is brought to you by the 1484 01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:31.840 Linder Center of Hope. Lindercenter of Hope dot Org. Hi, 1485 01:30:31.880 --> 01:30:44.399 this is seven thirty one in the morning. 1486 01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:47.720 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs the 1487 01:30:47.880 --> 01:30:51.920 Talk Station. Continue our conversation with former Vice Mayor Christopher Smitherman. 1488 01:30:52.159 --> 01:30:53.399 During this Monday. 1489 01:30:53.560 --> 01:30:57.159 Smither Vent, thanks for spending time with us, and hope 1490 01:30:57.159 --> 01:31:01.600 you're Christmas and your New Year's shaping up there. Christopher, 1491 01:31:01.720 --> 01:31:03.159 thanks for being with us this morning. 1492 01:31:04.399 --> 01:31:08.279 Oh thank you brother. You know my heart goes out Kevin, 1493 01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:13.960 to those who lost their lives in the Korean crash, 1494 01:31:14.520 --> 01:31:16.960 you know, and one hundred and eighty people or one 1495 01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:20.039 hundred and seventy nine people lost their lives. So I'm 1496 01:31:20.079 --> 01:31:22.880 certainly watching that like you're watching it. But it also 1497 01:31:22.920 --> 01:31:27.800 gives me an opportunity to highlight the aviation excellence in 1498 01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.920 the United States of America. I mean, we have failures 1499 01:31:32.000 --> 01:31:34.239 when you know, you have this many planes that are 1500 01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:37.520 up in the air, whether it's an Airbus plane, whether 1501 01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:40.479 it's a Boeing plane. We have some of the best 1502 01:31:40.479 --> 01:31:44.239 pilots in the world, and they land planes under for 1503 01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:49.000 terrible conditions every day and every week and every month. 1504 01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:52.319 I don't know what happened in the air. There's you know, 1505 01:31:52.359 --> 01:31:55.600 there's some talk that there was a bird strike that 1506 01:31:55.720 --> 01:31:59.560 hid an engine. I'm sure we'll find out what happened there. 1507 01:31:59.640 --> 01:32:02.000 But I can tell you again, every time I look 1508 01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:04.399 at that, we haven't had one of these types of 1509 01:32:04.960 --> 01:32:10.840 maybe in the in the United States of America in 1510 01:32:10.920 --> 01:32:15.560 a long time, and it's because it's because of the 1511 01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:20.479 training of our pilots, and we have a serious emphasis 1512 01:32:20.520 --> 01:32:22.840 on safety here. We don't you know, I'm not saying 1513 01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:25.439 we don't have twenty year old planes flying in the air, 1514 01:32:25.720 --> 01:32:28.439 but the reality of it is we have the best 1515 01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:30.840 aviation in the world. And again it comes back to 1516 01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:34.640 where we started. Why would anybody say they want to 1517 01:32:34.720 --> 01:32:38.159 leave the United States of America when so many people 1518 01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:40.760 are trying to get in, Kevin, and so my heart 1519 01:32:40.840 --> 01:32:42.039 goes out to those families. 1520 01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:46.720 I went over the weekend we had that one in Azurebrai, John, 1521 01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:53.319 and the other one they're going into you just mentioned it. 1522 01:32:53.439 --> 01:32:55.479 I've drawn them blank here real quick. 1523 01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:56.319 Of Korea. 1524 01:32:56.439 --> 01:33:00.760 Korea, Yeah, the South Korean Airline. And in both of 1525 01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:04.039 those there were malfunctions or it appeared as though that 1526 01:33:04.079 --> 01:33:06.800 the plane was well. The one was coming in pretty 1527 01:33:06.920 --> 01:33:10.239 heavy and then it seemed like it was going to 1528 01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:13.319 skid around, but then it went behind the hangar and. 1529 01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:14.600 You saw this fireball. 1530 01:33:15.039 --> 01:33:19.239 So it's interesting that two of those came about on 1531 01:33:19.319 --> 01:33:22.399 the same weekend or near the same weekend, and it 1532 01:33:22.600 --> 01:33:26.520 just I hope what happens is that people double down 1533 01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:31.880 on their maintenance and review and making sure that everything 1534 01:33:31.920 --> 01:33:35.439 that goes into the air is safe and nothing gets 1535 01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:39.920 left you know, oh like oh that's just a button, 1536 01:33:40.039 --> 01:33:43.359 that's just a light that's out on the dashboard. That's 1537 01:33:43.479 --> 01:33:47.560 usually nothing. No, you take everything seriously and especially and 1538 01:33:47.880 --> 01:33:51.479 it commend the people that fly these planes. And look 1539 01:33:51.520 --> 01:33:54.359 at the number of flights per day that go in 1540 01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:57.199 and out at different airports across this country, and it 1541 01:33:57.279 --> 01:33:59.359 is absolutely amazing the safety record. 1542 01:34:00.640 --> 01:34:03.840 Absolutely And let me also say to you, Kevin, as 1543 01:34:03.840 --> 01:34:08.039 we look into next week and we hear we hear 1544 01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:12.479 the Republican drum beat of whether they are going to 1545 01:34:12.600 --> 01:34:18.279 not vote for Speaker Johnson, this is a colossal mistake 1546 01:34:18.399 --> 01:34:23.439 in my opinion. If they've already been through this, it 1547 01:34:23.479 --> 01:34:26.239 didn't turn out well. It looks like they're going to 1548 01:34:26.279 --> 01:34:29.279 start off with more chaos, which isn't going to turn 1549 01:34:29.319 --> 01:34:33.640 out well. They need to certify the election and move forward. 1550 01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:37.319 And so this notion that you know that that Speaker 1551 01:34:37.399 --> 01:34:40.600 Johnson can only lose one person and then that's going 1552 01:34:40.680 --> 01:34:45.079 to turn you know, the entire Congress on its head, 1553 01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:49.439 is just crazy. And I just don't know why at times, 1554 01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:54.279 the Republican Party continues to put these types of self 1555 01:34:54.319 --> 01:34:58.680 inflicted wounds on themselves, right, like everything isn't going to 1556 01:34:58.720 --> 01:35:02.039 be perfect, You're never you're gonna always get your way, 1557 01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:04.720 and it just seems like there are these tipper tantrums 1558 01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:08.239 that happen there to say, boom, here we are, let's 1559 01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:11.359 cast a vote, let's move forward as a team. Maybe 1560 01:35:11.359 --> 01:35:14.560 you don't like everything Johnson does, maybe you love everything 1561 01:35:14.600 --> 01:35:16.439 he does, but at the end of the day, it's 1562 01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:18.880 not about you. It's about the country. And I'm just 1563 01:35:18.920 --> 01:35:20.880 telling you, the last time they went through this, it 1564 01:35:21.039 --> 01:35:24.840 just looked horrible, the McCarthy thing to Johnson, And now 1565 01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:26.720 who else are they going to? Who else wants to 1566 01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:29.159 serve as the speaker? It seems like a really a 1567 01:35:29.279 --> 01:35:32.720 job that nobody really wants, very thankfus job. But at 1568 01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:34.399 the end of the day, if he wants the job, 1569 01:35:34.720 --> 01:35:37.000 why not let him stay in the job. And why 1570 01:35:37.119 --> 01:35:39.720 have some national fight for us all to watch starting 1571 01:35:39.760 --> 01:35:41.760 next Friday. This doesn't make any sense. 1572 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:44.920 And with that thin majority, we're only going to have 1573 01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:48.239 a one seat majority because of the people that are 1574 01:35:48.279 --> 01:35:50.600 either out of the Congress or people that are sick 1575 01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:54.119 or people that have taken jobs in the administration. This 1576 01:35:54.199 --> 01:35:57.760 is something where you know, it's going to be very 1577 01:35:57.800 --> 01:36:01.079 delicate to be able to get the numbers to pass anything. 1578 01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:04.159 And at this point, I would say to some of 1579 01:36:04.159 --> 01:36:06.920 the people that you know, as you were kind of 1580 01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:11.760 alluding to, is put your personal preferences to the side 1581 01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:14.680 for a moment for the good of the country. You 1582 01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:18.199 may think that your policies, that your procedures, that you 1583 01:36:18.319 --> 01:36:22.239 are doing what's right for the American public, but in 1584 01:36:22.279 --> 01:36:25.119 the long run, it's only going to hurt if you 1585 01:36:25.199 --> 01:36:28.079 don't get the agenda done. If you don't you know, 1586 01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:33.039 it's like you go back to the Revolutionary War. Decoration 1587 01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:39.239 of Independence was absolutely meaningless if we didn't win, and 1588 01:36:39.359 --> 01:36:43.520 so in order to have that document mean something, you 1589 01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:47.119 had to win. Well, we've won. So let's make sure 1590 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:50.479 that we advance forward and put forth the agenda that 1591 01:36:50.520 --> 01:36:52.640 the American people wanted. And you know, we've got to 1592 01:36:52.640 --> 01:36:55.119 take a break, real quick break. Here a Christopher, my guess, 1593 01:36:55.279 --> 01:36:58.439 Christopher Smitherman during the smither event here on fifty five 1594 01:36:58.520 --> 01:37:00.439 K see the talks. 1595 01:37:00.840 --> 01:37:04.479 This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station. 1596 01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:16.920 Seven in the morning, Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas 1597 01:37:16.920 --> 01:37:20.640 fifty five krs the talk station, continuing our conversation with 1598 01:37:20.760 --> 01:37:24.359 former Cincinnati Vice mayor and Christopher Smitherman during our smither 1599 01:37:24.640 --> 01:37:27.319 Vent on Monday mornings. Thanks for hanging with us to 1600 01:37:27.399 --> 01:37:30.359 the break. Christopher certainly appreciate it. 1601 01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:32.520 Oh brother, thank you for having me. As we go 1602 01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:35.560 into the new years. I tell you, it's been interesting 1603 01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:39.399 watching what happened what's been happening with crime in New York. 1604 01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:42.920 Just like we've seen crime in Cincinnati, or we've seen 1605 01:37:43.000 --> 01:37:46.239 crime in Chicago, or we've seen crime in LA But 1606 01:37:46.680 --> 01:37:50.000 New York is hosting the Big ball drop and now 1607 01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:54.079 they've decided to clean up Times Square. Always interesting how 1608 01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:57.159 they roll out their politics. Let's make sure the homeless 1609 01:37:57.199 --> 01:37:59.640 people are here for the guests to see who are 1610 01:37:59.640 --> 01:38:02.000 coming in the Times Square. Let's make sure that there 1611 01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:04.479 isn't any crime around in this area. So we're going 1612 01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:06.960 to bring in all the police. We're going to secure 1613 01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:09.560 the area, but not for the people that live there 1614 01:38:09.920 --> 01:38:13.600 day to day, just for the guests from from yesterday, 1615 01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:16.840 from tomorrow into the next day. This is this is 1616 01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:21.199 the insanity of elected officials, right when you know their heads, 1617 01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:24.199 their policies are not screwed on right, and so it's 1618 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:27.399 very frustrating because we just came out of watching Penny, 1619 01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:33.359 who was crucified for standing up for citizens black who 1620 01:38:33.399 --> 01:38:36.159 were white, who were Latino. Matter of fact, when we 1621 01:38:36.239 --> 01:38:39.760 highlight when Penny was holding the gentleman down, there was 1622 01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:43.000 a black man holding him down to and it looked 1623 01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:46.319 like somebody who might have been Latino. So this was 1624 01:38:46.479 --> 01:38:48.800 this was a This was a group of people there 1625 01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:51.199 who were trying to protect the people on the train. 1626 01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:55.039 Two weeks later, thank god, they found him innocent. You 1627 01:38:55.159 --> 01:38:58.279 have a man who sets a woman on fire while 1628 01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:01.720 she's sleeping on the train, and now they're talking about 1629 01:39:01.760 --> 01:39:05.720 possibly the death sentence for him. The Guardian Angels have 1630 01:39:05.800 --> 01:39:08.359 now said they're going down in the subways to protect 1631 01:39:08.720 --> 01:39:11.960 I just started was interesting, Kevin that that New York 1632 01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:15.319 is now saying we're bringing out the police to secure 1633 01:39:15.640 --> 01:39:19.039 Times Square, which starts with moving out the homeless and 1634 01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:22.319 making sure the crime element is not there for the 1635 01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:25.479 guests who are coming in and standing in line starting today. 1636 01:39:25.720 --> 01:39:28.920 Well, if you move the criminal element out, then you 1637 01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:32.960 can claim that there is no crime you see, rather 1638 01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:35.840 than reporting on the crime that exists if you kind 1639 01:39:35.840 --> 01:39:37.960 of push it away, if you do away with the 1640 01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:41.079 homeless encampments, and then you can say, well, see where 1641 01:39:41.079 --> 01:39:44.479 are the homeless encampments. You know, you don't see those now, 1642 01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:48.840 So maybe all the reports before have been false, and 1643 01:39:49.079 --> 01:39:52.680 it's just this this It's like the Potempkin village type 1644 01:39:52.680 --> 01:39:55.079 of thing, where you put up this facade so that 1645 01:39:55.119 --> 01:40:00.680 when the bizarre the dictator comes driving through, everything looks clean, 1646 01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:04.279 everything looks wonderful, and then behind the facade is all 1647 01:40:04.319 --> 01:40:09.359 the filth, the rout, the decay, that everything that is bad. 1648 01:40:10.239 --> 01:40:12.920 And yet you're putting on this, You're shining this thing 1649 01:40:13.039 --> 01:40:15.680 up just for appearances purposes. And I agree with you 1650 01:40:16.039 --> 01:40:18.479 that this. You know, if they can do it for 1651 01:40:18.600 --> 01:40:21.239 the ball drop, why not do it all year? 1652 01:40:21.279 --> 01:40:25.560 Loan, And I think that the citizens of New York 1653 01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:27.159 are going to have to sort it out. It's not 1654 01:40:27.239 --> 01:40:30.640 a place that, you know, I'm really interested in living 1655 01:40:31.479 --> 01:40:34.600 for a number of reasons. But the people that live there, 1656 01:40:34.640 --> 01:40:38.159 I wish them the best of luck. But they can 1657 01:40:38.199 --> 01:40:41.760 see how their government is responding to them. And I 1658 01:40:41.800 --> 01:40:44.399 think people see this when the Olympics are coming to 1659 01:40:44.439 --> 01:40:47.199 their community. You see the same kind of behavior from 1660 01:40:47.239 --> 01:40:51.000 the politicians. We've got a whole them. Accountable crime has 1661 01:40:51.039 --> 01:40:54.079 to be the number one issue. Keeping citizens faith as 1662 01:40:54.079 --> 01:40:56.399 we go into the new year has to be the 1663 01:40:56.479 --> 01:41:00.520 number one thing. This whole notion of defunding our police 1664 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:05.239 has really just hit, you know, different cities across the 1665 01:41:05.279 --> 01:41:09.039 country with politicians saying they wanted to defund the police department, 1666 01:41:09.079 --> 01:41:11.199 and that played out in the election that we just 1667 01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:13.920 got out of. But at the end of the day, 1668 01:41:14.399 --> 01:41:17.479 let me end on just a loving note and talk 1669 01:41:17.560 --> 01:41:20.960 to you about President Carter and not talk about the 1670 01:41:21.000 --> 01:41:24.479 four years that he served, but the ninety six years 1671 01:41:24.479 --> 01:41:27.039 that he lived. And this was a man I think 1672 01:41:27.079 --> 01:41:31.079 that I respected because of his faith, his faith in God. 1673 01:41:31.560 --> 01:41:34.319 We've lost that in our country where so many people 1674 01:41:34.359 --> 01:41:37.840 are agnostic or atheists or don't have a belief in God. 1675 01:41:37.880 --> 01:41:42.520 I believe in God. I'm Catholic, a Catholic family, and 1676 01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:47.479 so I respected President Carter and his wife for their faith. 1677 01:41:47.600 --> 01:41:51.399 Number two married seventy seven years. There are people that 1678 01:41:51.479 --> 01:41:55.000 can't stay married six months, let alone seventy seven years. 1679 01:41:55.159 --> 01:41:58.800 And so they were a beacon of a couple who said, 1680 01:41:58.880 --> 01:42:03.119 we got married, we respect our vows in sickness and 1681 01:42:03.199 --> 01:42:06.560 in health, and they stayed together for seventy seven years, 1682 01:42:06.560 --> 01:42:10.159 and people should recognize that kind of respect for the 1683 01:42:10.199 --> 01:42:13.039 institution of marriage, which I respect. And the last thing 1684 01:42:13.079 --> 01:42:18.279 I'll say is his humanitarian efforts, his desire to roll 1685 01:42:18.359 --> 01:42:23.119 up his sleeves God every day, build houses, invest in 1686 01:42:23.159 --> 01:42:25.960 the areas that he believed in that would make our 1687 01:42:26.039 --> 01:42:29.600 society better. So I tip my hat to the Carter 1688 01:42:29.760 --> 01:42:34.720 family and his children, and to him and his lovely wife. 1689 01:42:35.840 --> 01:42:38.319 I tipped my hat to them in their wonderful marriage 1690 01:42:38.399 --> 01:42:41.319 that they showed and reflected in everything that they did. 1691 01:42:41.399 --> 01:42:44.640 Kevin, Yeah, Now again I would agree with you as 1692 01:42:44.680 --> 01:42:47.239 far as you know. You look at him post presidency 1693 01:42:47.359 --> 01:42:50.239 and you look at all the good that he did 1694 01:42:50.279 --> 01:42:53.159 and the humanitarian efforts that he did, and I would 1695 01:42:53.159 --> 01:42:57.479 applaud that, and I certainly agree with that. But you 1696 01:42:57.479 --> 01:43:01.039 know we don't there there aren't. He wasn't a saint. 1697 01:43:02.279 --> 01:43:06.319 I applaud as you say, his his marriage, his commitment 1698 01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:10.520 to his family, and his humanitarian But again, as a 1699 01:43:10.520 --> 01:43:14.119 as a Catholic, I still want when I look at 1700 01:43:14.159 --> 01:43:19.479 certain politicians, I can't get over the pro choice issue. 1701 01:43:19.680 --> 01:43:22.760 As far as some of these politicians are concerned, especially 1702 01:43:22.800 --> 01:43:26.520 people who try who profess to be men and people 1703 01:43:26.560 --> 01:43:30.359 of faith, that the two just don't combine as far 1704 01:43:30.399 --> 01:43:31.279 as I'm concerned. 1705 01:43:32.439 --> 01:43:37.600 Well, we agree, We agree that he was definitely not perfect, right, 1706 01:43:38.199 --> 01:43:42.479 and I don't I don't share his position on abortion 1707 01:43:42.600 --> 01:43:47.199 at all, nor did I share President Biden's position on abortion. 1708 01:43:48.239 --> 01:43:50.800 But I wanted to just take a moment to salute, 1709 01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:53.399 you know, a president who lived to be one hundred 1710 01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:56.640 and I and I don't want to he was the 1711 01:43:56.720 --> 01:43:58.800 president for four years ago. I don't want to define 1712 01:43:58.920 --> 01:44:02.520 him just that, because there were ninety six other years 1713 01:44:02.520 --> 01:44:03.960 and I just wanted to read exactly. 1714 01:44:04.039 --> 01:44:07.760 And I agree with that. I agree with that wholeheartedly. 1715 01:44:07.840 --> 01:44:09.800 And I am not going to be and and I 1716 01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:12.479 rail against some of these people that would get on 1717 01:44:13.600 --> 01:44:18.359 like you see from the left when a conservative passes. 1718 01:44:19.439 --> 01:44:21.880 It's almost like they want to dance on the grave. 1719 01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:25.319 They want to throw a party in a celebration and 1720 01:44:25.960 --> 01:44:28.279 talk about how glad they are the person died. 1721 01:44:28.520 --> 01:44:31.720 That to me is the height of evil. 1722 01:44:31.960 --> 01:44:35.479 And so and it's not who we are. Kevin is 1723 01:44:35.520 --> 01:44:38.600 not who we are as people. You know, if I 1724 01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:43.279 suggest to you that if the vice president Kamala Harris 1725 01:44:43.279 --> 01:44:46.319 had won, there would have been no discussions about any 1726 01:44:46.399 --> 01:44:49.279 riots in any streets anywhere. No one would have been 1727 01:44:49.319 --> 01:44:53.600 setting anything on fire or try to attempt to stop 1728 01:44:53.640 --> 01:44:55.840 the election or not count votes or any of that 1729 01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:59.279 kind of stuff. And so this is about as we 1730 01:44:59.359 --> 01:45:01.960 go into the new year, I hope it's about rule 1731 01:45:02.000 --> 01:45:06.479 of law. I'm really excited about the exploration of oil 1732 01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:09.479 and resources in our country that will make us less dependent, 1733 01:45:09.720 --> 01:45:12.159 which I think is a national security issue. I think 1734 01:45:12.159 --> 01:45:14.520 it's at the top of the list. You know, I'm 1735 01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:17.960 looking forward to the ending of wars. You know, I 1736 01:45:18.000 --> 01:45:20.840 have a son who's who spent four years, just got 1737 01:45:20.880 --> 01:45:24.119 back this year. He resigned with the uh with the 1738 01:45:24.199 --> 01:45:28.079 Air National Guard, and so you know, all of these 1739 01:45:28.079 --> 01:45:30.359 things mean a lot to our family because he could 1740 01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:34.359 be sent somewhere on the front line. He could be 1741 01:45:34.399 --> 01:45:36.920 called up, and that's very, very real. So I like 1742 01:45:37.000 --> 01:45:42.760 a president who really takes ending wars seriously when you 1743 01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:45.000 have so much on the line, like our family does, 1744 01:45:45.079 --> 01:45:47.199 and so many other families that are listening to us, 1745 01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:51.199 listening to us, and thank anybody, any veteran out there, 1746 01:45:51.359 --> 01:45:53.119 We thank you for your service. And I'm going to 1747 01:45:53.359 --> 01:45:56.840 really appreciate an emphasis on our veterans over the next 1748 01:45:56.880 --> 01:46:00.640 four years. They need support, they deserve support. Can They've 1749 01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:03.439 given so much to our country and many of the 1750 01:46:03.479 --> 01:46:06.079 people out there that are homeless, many of them and 1751 01:46:06.159 --> 01:46:09.319 too many of them are our veterans, and we need 1752 01:46:09.359 --> 01:46:11.439 to deliver the services to them. And it shouldn't be 1753 01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:14.479 a punch vine. Absolutely that this new administration will take 1754 01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:15.000 it serious. 1755 01:46:15.159 --> 01:46:18.439 Absolutely, Christopher, I certainly appreciate your time this morning, and 1756 01:46:18.479 --> 01:46:20.880 I'll always fascinated and we talk to you and look 1757 01:46:20.960 --> 01:46:22.399 forward to the next time we can talk. 1758 01:46:22.479 --> 01:46:23.680 Mappy New Year to you too. 1759 01:46:23.960 --> 01:46:26.920 Christopher Smitherman, former vice mayor and just an all around 1760 01:46:27.000 --> 01:46:30.479 nice guy and just love hearing his smither vent and 1761 01:46:30.520 --> 01:46:33.640 the politics that he talks about and the issues that 1762 01:46:33.680 --> 01:46:37.479 he brings up.

This is an amazing organization that I 1784 01:48:04.920 --> 01:48:08.640 came to find out when I attended the September fifteenth 1785 01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:12.600 Northern Kentucky Right to Life banquet talking about the issues 1786 01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:16.680 of right to life and Stephen was the guest speaker. 1787 01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:21.359 Population Research Institute's a nonprofit research group.

Stephen, welcome to the program. 1791 01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:36.880 It's good to be with you this morning. 1792 01:48:37.159 --> 01:48:38.079 It's my pleasure. 1793 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:42.880 You have a very interesting background as to how you 1794 01:48:43.039 --> 01:48:46.159 arrived here, and nobody tells their story better than the 1795 01:48:46.199 --> 01:48:49.479 person themselves, So tell people a little bit about your background. 1796 01:48:51.359 --> 01:48:53.920 Well, I was first American social science that allowed in 1797 01:48:54.039 --> 01:48:57.680 the communist China, way way back in nineteen seventy nine, 1798 01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:03.239 when President Jimmy Carter, who just passed away today, normalized 1799 01:49:03.279 --> 01:49:06.600 relations with the People's Republic of China. China had been 1800 01:49:06.640 --> 01:49:10.520 hidden behind the Bamboo Curtain for about thirty years, and 1801 01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:15.239 there I was boots on the ground in early nineteen 1802 01:49:15.279 --> 01:49:18.279 seventy nine trying to find out what the communists had 1803 01:49:18.319 --> 01:49:21.319 done over the last thirty years to the Chinese people. 1804 01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:23.760 And you know, it wasn't a very pretty story. There 1805 01:49:23.800 --> 01:49:31.000 were persecutions and purges and the Cultural Revolution. But the 1806 01:49:31.000 --> 01:49:34.239 one thing that happened when I was in China was 1807 01:49:34.319 --> 01:49:38.159 China's longest running political campaign. It was called the One 1808 01:49:38.279 --> 01:49:42.640 Child policy, where everybody in China was restricted to one child, 1809 01:49:43.159 --> 01:49:45.159 and God helped those women who were pregnant with a 1810 01:49:45.199 --> 01:49:48.119 second or a third child because they were arrested for 1811 01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:51.079 the crime of being pregnant, the crime of getting pregnant 1812 01:49:51.119 --> 01:49:54.720 without government permission. It was a crime in China in 1813 01:49:54.760 --> 01:49:56.920 those days. It continued to be a crime in China 1814 01:49:57.319 --> 01:50:00.479 until just a few years ago. So I was an 1815 01:50:00.479 --> 01:50:06.640 eyewitness to women being forcibly aborted and forcibly sterilized under 1816 01:50:06.840 --> 01:50:10.239 the one child policy. And you know, the total human 1817 01:50:10.319 --> 01:50:14.119 cost of that program was four hundred million lives were 1818 01:50:14.199 --> 01:50:18.159 lost in China from nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighty to 1819 01:50:18.359 --> 01:50:23.159 twenty sixteen to the one child policy. That's about half 1820 01:50:23.199 --> 01:50:25.680 of the last two generations. And they're paying a heavy 1821 01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:26.680 price for that today. 1822 01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:30.279 Yeah, because once you do away with a certain segment 1823 01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:34.600 of the population. Let's concentrate on that number, four hundred 1824 01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:39.720 million souls killed as a result of this one child policy. 1825 01:50:40.079 --> 01:50:43.000 But you take that number out and then from there 1826 01:50:43.439 --> 01:50:47.319 you don't have that number of kids producing other children. 1827 01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:50.720 You don't replace the population that you have, and you 1828 01:50:50.760 --> 01:50:55.039 start going into actually a population decline which is almost 1829 01:50:55.079 --> 01:50:58.039 impossible to pull out at times. 1830 01:50:59.000 --> 01:51:01.840 Oh yeah, and that's where Chinese today. China has actually 1831 01:51:01.880 --> 01:51:05.319 been in population declined for the last five years. They 1832 01:51:05.479 --> 01:51:09.520 just admitted this year that their population was beginning to shrink. 1833 01:51:09.640 --> 01:51:12.960 But it's actually you know, the Chinese Communist Party rarely 1834 01:51:13.000 --> 01:51:15.279 tells the truth about anything, and they've been lying about 1835 01:51:15.319 --> 01:51:18.960 their population numbers for years too. The average Chinese woman 1836 01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:22.680 today gives birth only about one child. That's a recipe 1837 01:51:22.720 --> 01:51:27.720 for demographic disaster, which is quickly coming upon the Chinese people. 1838 01:51:28.079 --> 01:51:32.399 The Chinese population is aging and dying. You've got well, 1839 01:51:32.640 --> 01:51:34.840 the result of the one child policy was you have 1840 01:51:34.920 --> 01:51:41.159 four grandparents who have two children together and only one grandchild. 1841 01:51:41.279 --> 01:51:44.199 So you've shorn away all the branches of the family tree, 1842 01:51:44.560 --> 01:51:47.159 leaving only the trunk. And I'll tell you what. These 1843 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:51.279 only children, second generation only children are not interested in 1844 01:51:51.359 --> 01:51:54.079 getting married, not interested in starting families or having children 1845 01:51:54.119 --> 01:51:58.720 of their own, because they've been told that children are burdened, 1846 01:51:58.880 --> 01:52:01.560 not a blessing. They've been told that you can't get 1847 01:52:01.560 --> 01:52:04.439 ahead in live. You know, the most important things are 1848 01:52:04.520 --> 01:52:08.800 buying a car, not having a child or two. So 1849 01:52:08.920 --> 01:52:12.640 China is in absolute population decline. China is now no 1850 01:52:12.720 --> 01:52:15.439 longer the most populous country in the world. It was 1851 01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:18.079 the most populous country in the world for thousands of 1852 01:52:18.159 --> 01:52:21.399 years and now India has overtaken it. I think that 1853 01:52:21.680 --> 01:52:24.079 that's what you should write as the epitaph on the 1854 01:52:24.079 --> 01:52:27.479 gravestone of the Chinese Communist Party is we killed off 1855 01:52:27.880 --> 01:52:29.960 China's future, because that's. 1856 01:52:29.800 --> 01:52:33.319 What they did, literally absolutely, and you know, as almost 1857 01:52:33.399 --> 01:52:37.239 the reverse pyramid scheme, this is almostly flip of that. 1858 01:52:37.880 --> 01:52:42.560 You've got, you know, very little coming up through the pipeline, 1859 01:52:42.640 --> 01:52:45.640 and you're gonna wind up with nothing there. And I 1860 01:52:45.760 --> 01:52:49.000 think possibly, you know, when you look at I guess 1861 01:52:49.039 --> 01:52:53.039 maybe some foreign influence, Western influence in communist China that 1862 01:52:53.119 --> 01:52:56.600 they see how bad things are there and think, well, gee, 1863 01:52:56.680 --> 01:52:59.199 I'm not going to bring another child into this world. 1864 01:52:59.760 --> 01:53:03.880 The future is bright, and as you said, children are 1865 01:53:03.920 --> 01:53:09.439 a burden to them and so they're not repopulating and 1866 01:53:09.800 --> 01:53:11.720 a society can't continue that way. 1867 01:53:13.239 --> 01:53:16.399 No, no, And you know what the China dream of 1868 01:53:16.479 --> 01:53:19.479 Sijing Ping and the Chinese Communist Party was that in 1869 01:53:19.520 --> 01:53:22.279 this century, the twenty first century, that China was going 1870 01:53:22.319 --> 01:53:24.680 to come to dominate the world. And you know what, 1871 01:53:24.760 --> 01:53:28.520 the Chinese Communist Party has killed the China dream by 1872 01:53:28.600 --> 01:53:33.239 killing off half of the last two generations of Chinese. 1873 01:53:33.399 --> 01:53:35.720 And of course you add to that not just the 1874 01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:39.159 population decline, not just the aging and dying of the population. 1875 01:53:39.600 --> 01:53:42.000 You add to that the massive corruption of the Chinese 1876 01:53:42.039 --> 01:53:45.279 Communist Party. You add to that the fact that Shijing Ping, 1877 01:53:45.319 --> 01:53:49.520 as he gets older, is becoming an erratic megalomaniac, who 1878 01:53:49.560 --> 01:53:54.800 is cashiering, who is purging, who is arresting, imprisoning people 1879 01:53:54.840 --> 01:53:58.399 who are once close to him, and behaving radically. You know, 1880 01:53:58.479 --> 01:54:01.760 that's not a recipe for success. That's a recipe for failure. 1881 01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:02.319 Failure. 1882 01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:06.279 This century will not belong to China. It may very 1883 01:54:06.279 --> 01:54:09.760 well belong to the United States, which as an American 1884 01:54:10.159 --> 01:54:11.399 I'm happy to contemplate. 1885 01:54:11.640 --> 01:54:14.880 Yeah, and it means that somebody that is of a 1886 01:54:15.399 --> 01:54:18.439 strong will and somebody that can stand up to, as 1887 01:54:18.479 --> 01:54:21.359 one of your books points out, the bully of Asia, 1888 01:54:22.199 --> 01:54:27.279 to back them down from their expansionist ideas. And as 1889 01:54:27.319 --> 01:54:30.680 they try this expansionism, if they just get away with it, 1890 01:54:30.800 --> 01:54:32.960 they're going to get You know, people just stand by. 1891 01:54:33.199 --> 01:54:34.840 But if you put your foot down and say this 1892 01:54:34.880 --> 01:54:37.399 ain't going to happen, especially on my watch, you can 1893 01:54:37.439 --> 01:54:38.199 put an end to this. 1894 01:54:39.920 --> 01:54:43.199 Yeah, aggressors are always encouraged when their aggression is successful. 1895 01:54:43.560 --> 01:54:45.279 They take a bite here and a bite there, and 1896 01:54:45.319 --> 01:54:49.399 if they don't get pushback, they'll keep, you know, devouring 1897 01:54:49.479 --> 01:54:52.920 more and more territory. I think we have an administration 1898 01:54:53.039 --> 01:54:57.399 coming in which earlier during Trump's first term, set China 1899 01:54:57.439 --> 01:54:59.840 back on its heels, and this time they'll do the same. 1900 01:55:00.279 --> 01:55:03.119 Because you have peace through strength, you don't have peace 1901 01:55:03.159 --> 01:55:07.680 through weakness, uh, weakness and byteses aggression. So I think 1902 01:55:07.720 --> 01:55:10.880 that China's very worried now. I recently heard Chinese senior 1903 01:55:10.880 --> 01:55:14.359 officials saying that they don't have many channels into the 1904 01:55:14.399 --> 01:55:18.159 new administration. And I'm laughing to myself as the China expert, 1905 01:55:18.279 --> 01:55:22.159 thinking channels, you mean, like, you know, the Secretary of 1906 01:55:22.159 --> 01:55:24.760 Saint Anthony Blincoln, who was on the payroll of the 1907 01:55:24.840 --> 01:55:29.279 University of Pennsylvania's uh you know uh center, which was 1908 01:55:29.279 --> 01:55:32.680 funded by the Chinese Communist Party. You mean that kind 1909 01:55:32.720 --> 01:55:35.520 of connection. Yeah, they don't have those kinds of connections 1910 01:55:35.520 --> 01:55:37.760 with the Trump administrat don't have any. 1911 01:55:37.960 --> 01:55:41.079 Well, they call them the Confucius Institutes of every one 1912 01:55:41.079 --> 01:55:42.920 of a lot of these different universities. 1913 01:55:44.840 --> 01:55:47.960 China is going around the world setting up Confucius Institutes, 1914 01:55:48.520 --> 01:55:53.720 which basically are propaganda centers on campuses all around the world. Now, 1915 01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:55.800 we had about one hundred of them in the United 1916 01:55:55.800 --> 01:55:59.720 States because well, a few years ago I testified before 1917 01:55:59.760 --> 01:56:02.319 the US Congress we call we shone a light on 1918 01:56:02.399 --> 01:56:05.960 the fact that they were going into campuses all across 1919 01:56:05.960 --> 01:56:09.840 the United States, offering the campus president a million dollars 1920 01:56:09.840 --> 01:56:13.239 to set up a Confucius institute. They were welcome. Now, 1921 01:56:13.279 --> 01:56:16.079 of course we're kicking them off American campuses, but they're in. 1922 01:56:16.279 --> 01:56:16.640 They're in. 1923 01:56:16.720 --> 01:56:19.119 They're in places all around the world. This is part 1924 01:56:19.159 --> 01:56:22.359 of their what's called the United Front operation of the 1925 01:56:22.439 --> 01:56:25.800 Chinese Communist Party, where they're trying to win friends and 1926 01:56:25.880 --> 01:56:29.600 influence people around the around the globe, and and you know, 1927 01:56:29.640 --> 01:56:33.399 they they were very successful. For a long long time. 1928 01:56:33.920 --> 01:56:38.560 They had people like Tim Walls, the vice presidential nominee, 1929 01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:42.000 taking groups of students to China, high school students to 1930 01:56:42.159 --> 01:56:45.520 China uh on guided tours to tell them how wonderful 1931 01:56:45.520 --> 01:56:49.279 communism was and how successful it had been in improving 1932 01:56:49.319 --> 01:56:53.000 the lives of the Chinese people. All fabrications, all lives, 1933 01:56:53.039 --> 01:56:55.840 of course, but if you're a young, impressionable high school 1934 01:56:55.920 --> 01:56:58.479 or college student, you tend to believe those things. 1935 01:56:58.600 --> 01:57:02.359 Well, you have that we're taking you there and putting 1936 01:57:02.399 --> 01:57:04.920 his stamp of approval on it. That goes a long 1937 01:57:04.960 --> 01:57:07.800 way to form an impression in your mind. 1938 01:57:09.039 --> 01:57:11.800 Absolutely, this was their teacher, and their teacher was teaching 1939 01:57:11.840 --> 01:57:16.560 them that communism was wonderful. It had worked in China. 1940 01:57:16.680 --> 01:57:18.680 It hadn't worked in China. We talked about the death 1941 01:57:18.720 --> 01:57:22.039 poll already, and add to that four hundred million unborn 1942 01:57:22.079 --> 01:57:24.760 and newborn children who were killed. Add to that the 1943 01:57:24.960 --> 01:57:27.239 forty five million people who died in the famine in 1944 01:57:27.319 --> 01:57:30.439 nineteen sixty nineteen sixty one, Add to that the ten 1945 01:57:30.479 --> 01:57:33.199 million people killed in the Land Reform, the millions who 1946 01:57:33.239 --> 01:57:35.520 died in the Cultural Revolution, and you've got a death 1947 01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:38.920 hole of about five hundred million people. So the Chinese 1948 01:57:38.960 --> 01:57:42.840 Communist Party does win a prize for being the biggest 1949 01:57:42.960 --> 01:57:46.319 killing machine in human history. They have killed up more 1950 01:57:46.359 --> 01:57:50.960 people than any political organization in human history, more than Stalin, 1951 01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:54.640 more than Hitler, more than any other dougish, brute google 1952 01:57:54.680 --> 01:57:55.720 dictator you can think of. 1953 01:57:56.199 --> 01:57:58.680 And the thing that boggles my mind is that when 1954 01:57:58.680 --> 01:58:02.039 they talk about China, they continue to talk about them 1955 01:58:02.079 --> 01:58:08.920 as a developing country, open to trade deals, open to 1956 01:58:09.359 --> 01:58:14.960 all kinds of functions and breaks from the UN and 1957 01:58:15.000 --> 01:58:17.520 it just here you have a country that's got the nukes. 1958 01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:21.640 They have this navy that they're building up, and they're 1959 01:58:21.920 --> 01:58:23.159 developing country. 1960 01:58:23.439 --> 01:58:24.199 Give me a break. 1961 01:58:26.399 --> 01:58:28.760 China now has the biggest navy in the world, not 1962 01:58:28.800 --> 01:58:31.640 by tonies, but by number of ships. They have a 1963 01:58:31.680 --> 01:58:35.520 shi building capability that is two hundred and fifty times 1964 01:58:35.800 --> 01:58:38.000 the size of ours. That is, they can build two 1965 01:58:38.079 --> 01:58:40.439 hundred and fifty ships in the time it takes us 1966 01:58:40.439 --> 01:58:43.199 to build one. Because most of our shipbuilding facilities have 1967 01:58:43.279 --> 01:58:48.039 closed down. They now have closing in on a thousand nukes. 1968 01:58:48.279 --> 01:58:51.279 They'll have a thousand nuclear weapons in a couple of 1969 01:58:51.359 --> 01:58:54.760 years and the means to deliver them all around the world. 1970 01:58:54.920 --> 01:58:59.079 So this is not a developing country anymore. They pretend 1971 01:58:59.159 --> 01:59:01.880 to be a developing so they can get breaks on trade. 1972 01:59:01.960 --> 01:59:04.159 But I think those the days of that gravy train 1973 01:59:04.199 --> 01:59:07.800 are over now. On January twentieth, we're going to see 1974 01:59:07.840 --> 01:59:11.600 I think tariffs imposed on Chinese goods, which people need 1975 01:59:11.640 --> 01:59:15.680 to understand, are made by slave labor, are made by serfs, 1976 01:59:15.880 --> 01:59:19.640 are made by Chinese workers who can't strike for higher wages. 1977 01:59:19.680 --> 01:59:22.880 They can't organize labor unions, they can't even engage in 1978 01:59:23.000 --> 01:59:25.319 a worker slowed down on the assembly line or what 1979 01:59:25.560 --> 01:59:30.000 or the police are called out and the unrest, the demonstration, 1980 01:59:30.640 --> 01:59:33.640 the strike for higher wages is put down. So these 1981 01:59:33.680 --> 01:59:36.840 people are not free workers. And it's unfair to make 1982 01:59:36.880 --> 01:59:39.880 American workers compete with slaves and serfs. 1983 01:59:40.039 --> 01:59:43.199 Absolutely, And of course Chinese economy is not doing very 1984 01:59:43.199 --> 01:59:47.159 well itself because of the restrictions that they had during 1985 01:59:47.199 --> 01:59:51.039 the as I call it the plandemic, and the draconian 1986 01:59:51.279 --> 01:59:54.479 restrictions that they had, and now they're trying to build 1987 01:59:54.520 --> 01:59:58.199 up their economy and they're having some serious problems. 1988 01:59:58.359 --> 01:59:59.560 My guess is even Moser. 1989 01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:01.239 And we're going to step out for a quick break, 1990 02:00:01.279 --> 02:00:03.239 and when we come back, I want to continue the 1991 02:00:03.239 --> 02:00:08.680 conversation but also get into the efforts of PRI the 1992 02:00:08.720 --> 02:00:12.159 Population Research Institute, and talk about your efforts having to 1993 02:00:12.199 --> 02:00:15.279 do with the pro life movement. I am Kevin Gordon 1994 02:00:15.359 --> 02:00:17.720 in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs. 1995 02:00:17.720 --> 02:00:28.119 The Talk Station, fifty five KRC twenty one in the morning. 1996 02:00:28.199 --> 02:00:31.000 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs the 1997 02:00:31.119 --> 02:00:34.640 Talk Station. Continue our conversation with Steven Moser. He is 1998 02:00:34.760 --> 02:00:39.000 president of Population Research Institute. We've been talking about his 1999 02:00:39.159 --> 02:00:44.520 knowledge and firsthand knowledge of communist China, their one child 2000 02:00:44.600 --> 02:00:48.880 policy and what was going on in that country, and 2001 02:00:49.159 --> 02:00:53.560 as far as his movement in terms of pro life agenda. 2002 02:00:53.960 --> 02:00:57.439 And before we get into your background and how you 2003 02:00:57.680 --> 02:01:00.680 arrived at being pro life, by the way, thank you 2004 02:01:00.720 --> 02:01:02.760 for being with us and hanging with us through the break. 2005 02:01:03.399 --> 02:01:06.520 What do you think is the attraction of communism to 2006 02:01:06.680 --> 02:01:08.279 so many liberals? 2007 02:01:10.479 --> 02:01:11.439 What is well? 2008 02:01:11.479 --> 02:01:14.800 Communism is supposedly makes life easy. I mean, the government 2009 02:01:14.880 --> 02:01:16.680 is going to do everything for you. All of your 2010 02:01:16.720 --> 02:01:19.039 needs will be supplied. You want to worry about food 2011 02:01:19.199 --> 02:01:21.920 or housing, you want to worry about medical care, you 2012 02:01:21.960 --> 02:01:24.439 won't have to worry about anything, because the government will 2013 02:01:24.479 --> 02:01:28.399 give everything according to their need. And everyone, of course 2014 02:01:28.479 --> 02:01:30.479 is supposed to respond by saying, well, we're going to 2015 02:01:30.479 --> 02:01:34.000 give everything we can to the government according to our ability. 2016 02:01:34.760 --> 02:01:36.960 Except that's not the way human nature works. 2017 02:01:36.680 --> 02:01:36.960 Is it. 2018 02:01:37.159 --> 02:01:37.319 No? 2019 02:01:37.399 --> 02:01:40.159 And in China, when I was in China living in 2020 02:01:40.199 --> 02:01:43.279 a Chinese commune, people used to say, no, they had 2021 02:01:43.319 --> 02:01:45.880 little private gardens, and then they had the big communal 2022 02:01:45.920 --> 02:01:48.520 fields where everybody worked in common all day long, and 2023 02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:50.520 then they had their little private gardens where they worked 2024 02:01:50.520 --> 02:01:54.319 in the evening, and they told me that people were 2025 02:01:54.479 --> 02:01:58.680 as lazy as worms in the communal fields and as 2026 02:01:58.880 --> 02:02:02.359 active as dragon in their private gardens. In other words, 2027 02:02:02.439 --> 02:02:05.119 they did as little as possible in the communal fields 2028 02:02:05.159 --> 02:02:07.159 during the day to save their energy so they can 2029 02:02:07.239 --> 02:02:09.479 work on their private garden plots at night. And I 2030 02:02:09.520 --> 02:02:13.439 think that sums up the whole failure of communism, because 2031 02:02:13.760 --> 02:02:17.840 those people who are lazy will take advantage of the system. 2032 02:02:18.199 --> 02:02:19.960 The rest of the people who are trying to work 2033 02:02:20.000 --> 02:02:22.319 and make it work will soon find out that they're 2034 02:02:22.359 --> 02:02:25.479 being taken for a ride, and the whole system gradually 2035 02:02:25.520 --> 02:02:28.880 grinds to a halt, and everyone lives in abject property, 2036 02:02:28.920 --> 02:02:32.560 except for the Communist Party officials in charge, who live 2037 02:02:32.560 --> 02:02:36.039 a life of luxury. And you know that's the case 2038 02:02:36.039 --> 02:02:40.119 in China today. You've got the Chinese Communist Party ninety 2039 02:02:40.159 --> 02:02:44.239 two million members strong, controlling almost all the wealth of China. 2040 02:02:45.079 --> 02:02:48.720 The Chinese Communist Party consumes probably at least a third 2041 02:02:48.800 --> 02:02:52.039 of the wealth of China produced by the one billion 2042 02:02:52.119 --> 02:02:55.760 Chinese people in their junket, in their foreign junkets and 2043 02:02:55.800 --> 02:03:00.239 their banquets, and their gardens in their pavilions, you know, 2044 02:03:00.359 --> 02:03:03.079 in their resorts uh in you know, all of the 2045 02:03:03.279 --> 02:03:06.800 all of the luxuries they enjoy, the chauffeurd limousines are 2046 02:03:06.920 --> 02:03:09.479 come at the expense of you know, the blood, sweat 2047 02:03:09.520 --> 02:03:12.520 and tears of the Chinese people. That's how communism works 2048 02:03:12.560 --> 02:03:16.119 in practice. It is a great way of exploiting the masses. 2049 02:03:17.399 --> 02:03:21.640 Now do you see a connection between this environmental movement 2050 02:03:21.920 --> 02:03:22.880 and communism? 2051 02:03:24.039 --> 02:03:26.680 Because as I been I think, yeah. 2052 02:03:26.560 --> 02:03:31.039 Yeah, I've been seeing that environmentalism has become more about control, 2053 02:03:31.439 --> 02:03:35.079 which has more to do with communism than trying to 2054 02:03:35.119 --> 02:03:38.159 clean up the planet. And I've mashed the two together 2055 02:03:38.239 --> 02:03:41.279 and I call it climunism. Uh do you see the 2056 02:03:41.319 --> 02:03:42.920 connect Do you see a connection there? 2057 02:03:44.479 --> 02:03:44.680 Yeah? 2058 02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:47.439 I think there's a kind of green communism where people 2059 02:03:47.479 --> 02:03:51.279 will use the exclusive the excuse of climate change, rising 2060 02:03:51.319 --> 02:03:55.279 CO two levels, whatever, rising sea levels to say, we 2061 02:03:55.359 --> 02:03:57.800 can run your life better than you can. So you 2062 02:03:57.880 --> 02:04:01.920 give us all of your money and all of your resources, 2063 02:04:02.239 --> 02:04:05.039 and we will decide what you eat, and where you 2064 02:04:05.079 --> 02:04:06.439 live and where you go, and whether or not you 2065 02:04:06.439 --> 02:04:08.119 can fly on a plane more than once a year. 2066 02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:11.760 And I mean all of the other elements of control 2067 02:04:12.319 --> 02:04:17.319 are follow from that. Right. So the radical environmentalist want 2068 02:04:17.319 --> 02:04:20.159 to radically control us, and it would wind up being 2069 02:04:20.199 --> 02:04:23.760 something akin to a communist state. Now that's the end state. Now, 2070 02:04:23.760 --> 02:04:27.159 the radical population controllers not only want to control us, 2071 02:04:27.479 --> 02:04:30.319 they want to drastically reduce our numbers. And you hear 2072 02:04:30.359 --> 02:04:32.399 them say things like, well, we need to reduce the 2073 02:04:32.399 --> 02:04:36.760 population of the planet from eight billion down to one billion. Okay, 2074 02:04:37.000 --> 02:04:38.640 what are they going to do with the other seven 2075 02:04:38.680 --> 02:04:42.520 billion of us? Some of them say the carrying capacity 2076 02:04:42.520 --> 02:04:45.520 of the planet is only one hundred billion, Well, that 2077 02:04:45.560 --> 02:04:48.199 would mean eliminating even more of the rest of the population. 2078 02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:53.000 And the advisor, the Chief advisor to the World Economic Forum, 2079 02:04:53.560 --> 02:04:56.560 says that we only need to keep two hundred and 2080 02:04:56.600 --> 02:05:01.720 fifty thousand of the most creative, enterprising, innovative humans alive. 2081 02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:04.520 The rest of us are just dead weight and can 2082 02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:08.640 be eliminated. That's fine for the lucky two hundred and 2083 02:05:08.640 --> 02:05:10.439 fifty thousand. What are they going to do with the 2084 02:05:10.479 --> 02:05:13.000 rest of us, he said, We can be replaced by 2085 02:05:13.119 --> 02:05:15.199 artificial intelligence and robots. 2086 02:05:15.560 --> 02:05:18.399 Yeah, I would love to see that come into play, 2087 02:05:18.439 --> 02:05:22.560 because once these people have to fend for themselves because 2088 02:05:22.600 --> 02:05:27.600 everything else isn't working, that would that would end very 2089 02:05:27.640 --> 02:05:31.399 quickly and not very pretty. I just this whole idea 2090 02:05:31.680 --> 02:05:37.039 of this group of people controlling the masses is just 2091 02:05:37.119 --> 02:05:40.279 something that we need to put the steak in the 2092 02:05:40.319 --> 02:05:43.399 ground and make sure that this never happens and stay 2093 02:05:43.479 --> 02:05:45.600 vigilant that we don't allow it to happen. 2094 02:05:47.279 --> 02:05:50.239 Well, it's absolutely the opposite, the polar opposite of the 2095 02:05:50.239 --> 02:05:50.920 American dream. 2096 02:05:51.039 --> 02:05:51.199 Right. 2097 02:05:51.560 --> 02:05:54.640 The American dream is one of rugged individualism, is one 2098 02:05:54.680 --> 02:05:57.600 of people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, is one 2099 02:05:57.600 --> 02:06:02.359 of people improving the lives themselves and their families. And 2100 02:06:03.439 --> 02:06:07.560 the communists, the radical environmentalists, the radical population and controllers 2101 02:06:07.880 --> 02:06:10.239 all have this idea that they can run our lives 2102 02:06:10.479 --> 02:06:12.720 better than we can if we simply give them all 2103 02:06:12.720 --> 02:06:14.920 of our money and all the power to do so. 2104 02:06:15.159 --> 02:06:17.439 And of course it will wind up at the end 2105 02:06:17.439 --> 02:06:20.439 of the day killing off most of the population of 2106 02:06:20.479 --> 02:06:20.920 the planet. 2107 02:06:21.680 --> 02:06:24.720 Now, Stephen, we normally don't do this, and I usually, 2108 02:06:24.760 --> 02:06:27.199 you know, we try to keep an interview to the 2109 02:06:27.239 --> 02:06:29.319 bottom of the hour. Can you hang with us for 2110 02:06:29.399 --> 02:06:31.319 one more segment after the news at the bottom of 2111 02:06:31.319 --> 02:06:33.199 the hour, because I want to talk to you about 2112 02:06:33.239 --> 02:06:36.199 your efforts on the pro life movement, how you came 2113 02:06:36.279 --> 02:06:38.760 to the pro life movement and talk about your goals 2114 02:06:38.800 --> 02:06:42.680 for twenty twenty five and talk about population research and 2115 02:06:42.720 --> 02:06:44.000 what you guys are involved in. 2116 02:06:45.239 --> 02:06:46.479 Have you got time for you to stay with you 2117 02:06:46.760 --> 02:06:47.159 all right? 2118 02:06:47.319 --> 02:06:51.880 My guest Stephen Moser, president of Population Research Institute. Just 2119 02:06:52.000 --> 02:06:56.000 fascinating conversation with him. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 2120 02:06:56.119 --> 02:07:05.640 fifty five KRC DE Talk station fifty five, eight. 2121 02:07:05.680 --> 02:07:06.600 Thirty one in the morning. 2122 02:07:06.680 --> 02:07:10.199 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRS the 2123 02:07:10.399 --> 02:07:14.039 talk station. My guest is Stephen Moser, President and Population 2124 02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:17.159 Research Institute. We've been talking about the previous couple of 2125 02:07:17.199 --> 02:07:20.520 segments and since the beginning of the hour talking about 2126 02:07:20.880 --> 02:07:24.760 China and their influence and their one child population and 2127 02:07:24.800 --> 02:07:29.399 their threat to the entire global world or global world 2128 02:07:29.520 --> 02:07:32.560 now talking about the dangers of communism. 2129 02:07:32.800 --> 02:07:33.119 Now. 2130 02:07:33.319 --> 02:07:35.800 I wanted to make sure that you have an opportunity 2131 02:07:35.840 --> 02:07:37.600 to talk about your efforts as far as the pro 2132 02:07:37.680 --> 02:07:41.000 life movement, which is a big component of your organization, 2133 02:07:41.239 --> 02:07:44.560 and talk about your goals for twenty twenty five. And 2134 02:07:45.079 --> 02:07:47.039 you did not come to this and by the way, 2135 02:07:47.079 --> 02:07:49.279 welcome back to the program. Thank you for hanging with us. 2136 02:07:50.560 --> 02:07:53.800 You did not come to this originally. You were not 2137 02:07:53.880 --> 02:07:56.840 an original pro life individual. Can you kind of walk 2138 02:07:56.880 --> 02:07:57.239 us through? 2139 02:07:57.279 --> 02:08:02.920 That was at Sanford University in the nineteen seventies. One 2140 02:08:02.960 --> 02:08:07.920 of my colleagues at Stanford was Paul Airley, the infamous 2141 02:08:07.960 --> 02:08:11.680 author of the Population Bob, which argued, of course, that 2142 02:08:11.720 --> 02:08:13.960 we were breeding ourselves off the face of the planet, 2143 02:08:14.039 --> 02:08:17.920 that massive famines were going to destroy, you know, a 2144 02:08:17.960 --> 02:08:20.800 good portion of humanity, and then the rest would soon 2145 02:08:20.840 --> 02:08:26.119 follow from, you know, catastrophic economic and societal collapse. That 2146 02:08:26.159 --> 02:08:28.920 never happened. So, but I went to China with the 2147 02:08:28.920 --> 02:08:31.840 idea that maybe China was overpopulated. I came back from 2148 02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:36.359 China realizing that China's problem was not too many people. 2149 02:08:36.560 --> 02:08:39.319 It was too much government and too overbearing and too 2150 02:08:39.359 --> 02:08:43.560 dictatorial a government. China's problem was a communist party that 2151 02:08:43.760 --> 02:08:47.920 was actually killing off China's future in the person of 2152 02:08:48.640 --> 02:08:51.479 millions and millions of unborn and newborn children. And let 2153 02:08:51.560 --> 02:08:54.239 me point out that they were actually killing babies at 2154 02:08:54.279 --> 02:08:57.640 birth by lethal injection in order to enforce the one 2155 02:08:57.720 --> 02:09:00.880 child policy. I was in the operating room when they 2156 02:09:00.880 --> 02:09:04.680 were doing forced abortions on women. These weren't early abortions. 2157 02:09:04.720 --> 02:09:08.680 These were abortions at seven, eight and nine months. And 2158 02:09:09.079 --> 02:09:12.880 I left China thinking that the taking of a human 2159 02:09:12.920 --> 02:09:16.000 life at any point in pregnancy is wrong. And I 2160 02:09:16.079 --> 02:09:20.079 left China understanding that China's problem was not its people, 2161 02:09:20.399 --> 02:09:24.079 but it's politics. And so that's the message that I 2162 02:09:24.159 --> 02:09:27.119 came back to Stanford with. They didn't want to hear it, 2163 02:09:27.159 --> 02:09:28.760 by the way, so they fired me. 2164 02:09:29.880 --> 02:09:32.640 Of course, surprise, friend. 2165 02:09:33.600 --> 02:09:36.960 That's that's I was a victim of political correctness before 2166 02:09:36.960 --> 02:09:40.359 we called it political correctness, but it was the best 2167 02:09:40.359 --> 02:09:43.600 thing that ever happened to me. Went on to run 2168 02:09:43.640 --> 02:09:45.920 the Population Research Institute, where we make. 2169 02:09:45.840 --> 02:09:46.680 The case for people. 2170 02:09:46.960 --> 02:09:49.399 And you know, if you look around the world, you'll 2171 02:09:49.439 --> 02:09:51.720 see that more than half the countries of the world 2172 02:09:51.960 --> 02:09:58.399 actually have birth rates that are below replacement. Italy, Great Britain, France, Germany. 2173 02:09:58.600 --> 02:10:02.560 These are all dying countries. Taiwan, China itself, because of 2174 02:10:02.600 --> 02:10:06.720 the one child policy, South three, Japan, South America. The 2175 02:10:06.760 --> 02:10:09.720 birth rates are now at or below replacement in those 2176 02:10:10.680 --> 02:10:15.640 once prolific countries, you know, once Catholic countries. All over 2177 02:10:15.640 --> 02:10:20.399 the world you see dying populations. And now, for the 2178 02:10:20.439 --> 02:10:24.680 first time, I believe that the entire population of the 2179 02:10:24.720 --> 02:10:28.279 world is now below replacement rate fertility. What does that mean. 2180 02:10:28.760 --> 02:10:32.640 It means that on average, people around the world are 2181 02:10:33.039 --> 02:10:35.760 having fewer than two point one children. You need two 2182 02:10:35.800 --> 02:10:39.960 point one children to replace the current population. A husband 2183 02:10:40.000 --> 02:10:41.960 and wife have to have two a little more than 2184 02:10:42.000 --> 02:10:45.520 two children to ensure that the next generation, you know, 2185 02:10:45.840 --> 02:10:50.399 produces a number of children capable of sustaining the population 2186 02:10:50.520 --> 02:10:53.680 that would be two point one would zero population growth. 2187 02:10:53.800 --> 02:10:56.840 We are now below that. So the population of the 2188 02:10:56.840 --> 02:11:01.079 world is now going to be shrinking in the years 2189 02:11:01.119 --> 02:11:06.520 to come, and that decline will accelerate over time as 2190 02:11:06.560 --> 02:11:09.079 fewer and fewer babies come into the world and fewer 2191 02:11:09.119 --> 02:11:11.439 and fewer babies are born. So our long term problem, 2192 02:11:11.680 --> 02:11:14.720 humanity's long term problem, despite what people may have heard, 2193 02:11:14.960 --> 02:11:16.119 is not too many children. 2194 02:11:16.479 --> 02:11:17.279 It's too few. 2195 02:11:17.199 --> 02:11:23.560 Children absolutely, Steven Moser. We in other words, what we 2196 02:11:23.680 --> 02:11:27.079 kind of need pretty much is a rebirth of birth, 2197 02:11:28.399 --> 02:11:32.920 honoring the family, honoring being a parent, and making the 2198 02:11:33.000 --> 02:11:38.279 programs geared towards parent two parent households, and which falls 2199 02:11:38.319 --> 02:11:42.640 into the pro life movement itself to where you eliminate 2200 02:11:42.800 --> 02:11:46.520 and get away from this planned parenthood narrative that tells 2201 02:11:46.640 --> 02:11:49.239 us that your life will be better without children. 2202 02:11:51.079 --> 02:11:54.479 Absolutely, And you know, for decades, we've been playing defense. 2203 02:11:54.760 --> 02:11:58.840 We've been trying to cut funding to planned parenthood, which 2204 02:11:58.840 --> 02:12:04.760 exists to destroy, you know, innocent, unborn human life. We 2205 02:12:04.800 --> 02:12:08.239 have tried to cut funding to population control programs around 2206 02:12:08.279 --> 02:12:11.039 the world because it's none of our business how many 2207 02:12:11.119 --> 02:12:15.960 children the people of Argentina or Brazil decide to have. 2208 02:12:16.319 --> 02:12:18.640 It should be up to the people of that country, 2209 02:12:18.760 --> 02:12:21.720 not up to us. And we've tried to cut funding 2210 02:12:21.800 --> 02:12:26.760 to other radical programs. The cultural imperialism that the West 2211 02:12:26.840 --> 02:12:30.880 seems to want to deliver to places like Africa and 2212 02:12:31.359 --> 02:12:34.600 Latin America has to end. So we've been playing defense. Now, 2213 02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:37.399 I think we've got a lot of people onside with 2214 02:12:37.479 --> 02:12:42.600 the idea, including Donald Trump, including Elon Musk, with the 2215 02:12:42.640 --> 02:12:46.319 idea that we need pronatal policies, that the population is 2216 02:12:46.399 --> 02:12:49.880 aging and dying in the United States and other countries, 2217 02:12:49.920 --> 02:12:54.079 and we need pronatal policies to encourage family formation and 2218 02:12:54.159 --> 02:12:57.600 to encourage childbearing. We fought for years to get the 2219 02:12:57.720 --> 02:13:02.479 child tex credit raised, and I think that during the campaign. 2220 02:13:03.600 --> 02:13:07.399 JD Vansi, incoming Vice President, said five thousand dollars a 2221 02:13:07.520 --> 02:13:12.560 year tax credit for each child from birth sixteen. I 2222 02:13:12.560 --> 02:13:15.520 think it ought to start from conception to age twenty 2223 02:13:15.560 --> 02:13:19.159 one myself. But we're moving in the direction of protecting 2224 02:13:19.640 --> 02:13:23.000 our most vital research resource, which is young couples who 2225 02:13:23.039 --> 02:13:25.920 are willing to have children are providing for the future 2226 02:13:25.920 --> 02:13:29.199 of America in the most fundamental way by providing the 2227 02:13:29.279 --> 02:13:33.560 next generation. They need to be protected from taxes that 2228 02:13:33.680 --> 02:13:36.520 take half of their wealth away and in many cases 2229 02:13:36.600 --> 02:13:39.399 leave young couples thinking, we can't afford to have a child. 2230 02:13:39.399 --> 02:13:41.880 My goodness, we can barely make our rent payment. Let's 2231 02:13:41.960 --> 02:13:45.479 protect that vital resource, these young couples who are willing 2232 02:13:45.520 --> 02:13:51.319 to have children, from exorbitant taxes so they can provide 2233 02:13:51.359 --> 02:13:52.840 for the future of the United States. 2234 02:13:53.039 --> 02:13:56.159 We need to praise them instead of demonizing them for 2235 02:13:56.239 --> 02:14:00.479 having families and wanting to be parents. If people want 2236 02:14:00.520 --> 02:14:03.239 to get in touch with Population Research Institute, how do 2237 02:14:03.279 --> 02:14:05.560 they do that, Well. 2238 02:14:05.399 --> 02:14:10.079 We are at pop dot org. Pop dotorg. POP is 2239 02:14:10.119 --> 02:14:14.800 short for Population Research Institute, so it's easy to find 2240 02:14:14.800 --> 02:14:18.399 our website and you've got lots of information there about 2241 02:14:19.319 --> 02:14:22.199 why babies are blessings and not burdens, and why we 2242 02:14:22.319 --> 02:14:26.199 need to stop funding programs to reduce the number of 2243 02:14:26.199 --> 02:14:28.760 babies born in this country and around the world. 2244 02:14:29.239 --> 02:14:32.560 I would encourage anybody out there in listening to go 2245 02:14:32.600 --> 02:14:36.560 to that website, Population Research Institute. Right on their front 2246 02:14:36.600 --> 02:14:40.800 page their goals for twenty twenty five. Eliminate Planned Parenthood's 2247 02:14:40.880 --> 02:14:46.359 taxpayer funding, stop US promotion of abortion abroad, enforce federal 2248 02:14:46.439 --> 02:14:51.239 law on abortion drugs, Strengthen the Mexico City Policy, defund 2249 02:14:51.479 --> 02:14:57.760 UNFPA and complicit agencies, and ensrine the High Amendment permanently. 2250 02:14:58.079 --> 02:15:01.800 And go to their website and learn everything about those programs. 2251 02:15:02.039 --> 02:15:04.039 Steve and I can't thank you enough for spending time 2252 02:15:04.079 --> 02:15:06.800 with us. It's been a pleasure. Hope to have you 2253 02:15:06.880 --> 02:15:10.039 back sometime soon and we'll talk about the efforts, and 2254 02:15:10.079 --> 02:15:11.439 I certainly appreciate your time. 2255 02:15:12.640 --> 02:15:14.079 I look forward to it, all right. 2256 02:15:14.159 --> 02:15:19.520 Stephen Moser, President Population Research Institute, I've been long on 2257 02:15:19.560 --> 02:15:22.279 these breaks, so I've got to kind of clean that 2258 02:15:22.359 --> 02:15:25.279 up a little bit. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, 2259 02:15:25.439 --> 02:15:27.840 fifty five KRS the talk station. 2260 02:15:28.199 --> 02:15:31.840 This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station. 2261 02:15:36.319 --> 02:15:37.960 Eight forty three in the morning. 2262 02:15:38.079 --> 02:15:42.199 Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs. The 2263 02:15:42.359 --> 02:15:46.000 talk station phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine fifty, 2264 02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:48.600 five hundred one eight hundred day two three talk one 2265 02:15:48.640 --> 02:15:51.399 eight hundred eight two three eight two five five pound 2266 02:15:51.680 --> 02:15:52.680 five point fifty. 2267 02:15:52.680 --> 02:15:54.760 On that AT and T wireless phone. 2268 02:15:55.079 --> 02:15:58.000 So glad that Stephen Moser could spend time with us, 2269 02:15:58.000 --> 02:16:00.079 And like I said, I would encourage you to go 2270 02:16:00.119 --> 02:16:03.159 to his website. And obviously you can tell by the 2271 02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:05.880 interview that he's a very dynamic speaker. He's a guest 2272 02:16:05.920 --> 02:16:09.000 speaker and a lot of different functions. Author of a couple 2273 02:16:09.000 --> 02:16:11.960 of books, Bully of Asia White, China's Dream Is a 2274 02:16:12.000 --> 02:16:15.760 New Threat to World Order, and his most recent book, 2275 02:16:16.039 --> 02:16:20.239 The Devil and Communist China from Maw Down to z 2276 02:16:20.920 --> 02:16:25.399 And it talks about their influence and just how evil 2277 02:16:25.439 --> 02:16:28.560 they are and the thing that has always surprised me 2278 02:16:29.239 --> 02:16:33.520 by the left. And as I point out, I wonder 2279 02:16:33.520 --> 02:16:36.559 how many of the people on the left have Shai 2280 02:16:36.639 --> 02:16:40.040 Guavera t shirts in their closet. So many of them 2281 02:16:40.360 --> 02:16:46.440 think in terms of communism being this panacea, this great ability, 2282 02:16:46.520 --> 02:16:49.760 or this great way of running a government, of everything 2283 02:16:49.879 --> 02:16:53.520 being taken of and expanding their power, and of course 2284 02:16:53.719 --> 02:16:56.319 they hope to be in power. But what they don't 2285 02:16:56.360 --> 02:17:00.319 realize and what I don't know where they get and 2286 02:17:00.360 --> 02:17:03.079 why they don't know about this. But if you look 2287 02:17:03.159 --> 02:17:06.559 at each communist country, whether it be the Soviet Union 2288 02:17:06.840 --> 02:17:10.879 or Communist China or any other communist nations, once the 2289 02:17:10.959 --> 02:17:14.600 communists take over, once the people are in power, they 2290 02:17:14.600 --> 02:17:17.360 don't want people around them that know how to form 2291 02:17:17.399 --> 02:17:20.840 a revolution, how to start a revolution, and they don't 2292 02:17:20.840 --> 02:17:24.719 want anybody in power smarter than them or somebody that 2293 02:17:24.799 --> 02:17:27.559 could challenge them. So all of a sudden, you start 2294 02:17:27.600 --> 02:17:31.959 seeing all of these leaders get whacked and you start 2295 02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:35.040 dealing with just so you can push the population down, 2296 02:17:35.280 --> 02:17:39.239 just so that leaders can stay on top. And as 2297 02:17:39.239 --> 02:17:43.639 Stephen pointed out, this is a recipe for disaster and 2298 02:17:43.760 --> 02:17:48.159 why people would want that in their country, and especially 2299 02:17:48.520 --> 02:17:52.600 from what we know of this country and the greatness 2300 02:17:52.639 --> 02:17:55.799 of this country and how wonderful this country has been 2301 02:17:56.239 --> 02:17:59.440 as far as the world is concerned. To want to 2302 02:17:59.799 --> 02:18:03.760 go to any type of communism, they must think that 2303 02:18:03.799 --> 02:18:06.120 they are the elites. They must think that they're the 2304 02:18:06.159 --> 02:18:08.719 ones that are going to be on top. They think 2305 02:18:08.760 --> 02:18:10.920 that they're going to be the ones that are in charge, 2306 02:18:11.159 --> 02:18:13.520 and they are in for a rude awakening. It is 2307 02:18:13.600 --> 02:18:16.399 not the way to go. And the more you study 2308 02:18:16.520 --> 02:18:19.440 history and the more you understand and you look at it. 2309 02:18:19.639 --> 02:18:24.559 As Stephen pointed out, over five hundred million people have 2310 02:18:24.719 --> 02:18:25.840 been murdered. 2311 02:18:25.760 --> 02:18:27.000 In communist China. 2312 02:18:27.879 --> 02:18:34.440 Stalin is responsible for fifty million murders alone in his country, 2313 02:18:34.479 --> 02:18:38.760 and the record of communism, the hundreds of millions of 2314 02:18:38.799 --> 02:18:41.799 people that have died as a result of these takeovers. 2315 02:18:42.760 --> 02:18:45.319 This is not how you start a country, This is 2316 02:18:45.360 --> 02:18:47.799 not how you become a world power, and this is 2317 02:18:47.799 --> 02:18:51.200 not how you try to make your mark on society. 2318 02:18:51.799 --> 02:18:54.200 Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five 2319 02:18:54.280 --> 02:18:56.680 hundred one, eight hundred eight two three talk one eight 2320 02:18:56.719 --> 02:18:58.879 hundred eighty two three eight two five five pound, five 2321 02:18:58.879 --> 02:19:02.399 point fifty Aten t Warreless film coming back. We'll wind 2322 02:19:02.479 --> 02:19:04.920 up the day and set the table for tomorrow.

I just 2367 02:21:11.799 --> 02:21:14.559 you know, I always thought that, you know, perhaps the 2368 02:21:14.639 --> 02:21:17.040 COVID nineteen itself, you know, they're in China may have 2369 02:21:17.200 --> 02:21:20.479 very well been part of a project for limiting or 2370 02:21:20.559 --> 02:21:23.479 killing off some of the population as tool. The greenest 2371 02:21:23.520 --> 02:21:25.879 was just a thought, but that, you know, that did 2372 02:21:25.920 --> 02:21:28.280 cross my mind that maybe they were trying to make 2373 02:21:28.319 --> 02:21:30.559 experiments they're in China to do that. 2374 02:21:31.000 --> 02:21:32.680 Oh, no doubt about it. 2375 02:21:32.719 --> 02:21:36.079 I think, you know, if there is a thorough investigation 2376 02:21:36.200 --> 02:21:38.079 as to what's going on. I mean, you don't do 2377 02:21:38.239 --> 02:21:42.760 gain a function and try to manufacture certain diseases and 2378 02:21:43.719 --> 02:21:47.520 try to pinpoint them. As it appears as though that 2379 02:21:47.639 --> 02:21:51.200 COVID nineteen was kind of more directed at to the 2380 02:21:51.239 --> 02:21:57.680 elderly people who had pre existing conditions pro co morbidity, 2381 02:21:57.719 --> 02:22:04.840 co morbidity rates and possibly quite possibly a test if 2382 02:22:04.879 --> 02:22:08.120 you will, to see what we could do, how we 2383 02:22:08.159 --> 02:22:12.079 could control the population, and to see how much these 2384 02:22:12.079 --> 02:22:14.879 are working. Because if you're developing something, you want to 2385 02:22:14.920 --> 02:22:17.879 make sure or you want to see that it is working. 2386 02:22:18.399 --> 02:22:21.079 And if it's not working, then you know you got 2387 02:22:21.079 --> 02:22:24.159 to perfect it. And I don't you know that is 2388 02:22:24.159 --> 02:22:27.479 not a far fetched theory when you look at what happened. 2389 02:22:27.079 --> 02:22:27.840 And what went on. 2390 02:22:30.120 --> 02:22:33.559 Yeah, exactly, I mean look at it mostly did effect, 2391 02:22:33.760 --> 02:22:36.840 you know when it came to COVID nineteen, and you know. 2392 02:22:36.799 --> 02:22:37.639 Hopefully they stop. 2393 02:22:37.719 --> 02:22:39.840 Maybe people's eyes are you know, woking up my grants 2394 02:22:39.879 --> 02:22:42.200 we say about November fifth. 2395 02:22:42.000 --> 02:22:44.239 Or early Christmas present there, yeah. 2396 02:22:44.319 --> 02:22:44.959 For America. 2397 02:22:45.079 --> 02:22:48.159 But yeah, again that's just the thought of wonder how 2398 02:22:48.159 --> 02:22:50.120 many that's well, I'll ever get to the bottom of it. 2399 02:22:50.159 --> 02:22:54.280 Frankly, Well, I hope that you know that the incoming 2400 02:22:54.319 --> 02:22:58.000 administration gets to the bottom of this, because we did 2401 02:22:58.040 --> 02:23:01.959 see some reports last last week that yes, in fact, 2402 02:23:02.319 --> 02:23:04.959 they knew about this, They knew that this was coming 2403 02:23:05.000 --> 02:23:08.200 out of the wet Mart well that Wuhan Lab as 2404 02:23:08.280 --> 02:23:12.440 early as October of twenty nineteen, and that the Secure, 2405 02:23:12.479 --> 02:23:16.959 the CIA and the security officials tamped that information down 2406 02:23:17.280 --> 02:23:20.920 and try to prevent that information from going out. How 2407 02:23:20.959 --> 02:23:23.719 many lives could have been saved had we known this 2408 02:23:24.040 --> 02:23:27.959 back in October or November, because it really didn't start 2409 02:23:28.040 --> 02:23:31.280 hitting the United States until the beginning of twenty twenty, 2410 02:23:31.639 --> 02:23:34.239 and by that time we were behind the eight ball. 2411 02:23:34.399 --> 02:23:38.879 And if you've got a and these scientists, if they're 2412 02:23:38.959 --> 02:23:42.440 working on something, they should know how to prevent it. 2413 02:23:42.680 --> 02:23:46.120 And the fact that that was let to go on 2414 02:23:46.840 --> 02:23:50.639 and didn't try to help end it, I think is 2415 02:23:50.719 --> 02:23:54.040 a criminal in itself, and I hope that this is 2416 02:23:54.079 --> 02:23:57.000 all looked into in the coming year.
