WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:13.119 Five o five. It's about d r C be Coff 2 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:32.119 station every Wednesday. It is a vacation. Well, isn't that 3 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.359 the case? And as I mentioned previously, since I hear 4 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.000 my tongue opening song every morning, I actually could use 5 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.000 a vacation. I'll be taking one next week and I 6 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.200 am looking forward to, uh the mental health week, which 7 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.479 is the designated reason for taking the vacation. Excuse me, 8 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:56.880 hold on, there's that cough button to thank god it exists. 9 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.719 It's not another a syllable until Mike comes on. Although 10 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.119 I did add a couple of words with Sean mc 11 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.799 man this morning, Shawn Cover for the out Joe Strecker 12 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:08.760 and I hope he's doing all right. I hope you're 13 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.840 doing all right too this morning. Always enjoy hearing from you, 14 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.560 so you can feel free to call. Perhaps you want 15 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.079 to react to what one hundred and four percent tariffs 16 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:20.799 on China which kicked in at midnight five three seven 17 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.480 eight hundred eight two three talk with Pound five fifty 18 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.840 on AT and T phone. I always remember, never forget 19 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.319 if you have carecy dot com podcasts up talk with 20 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.000 doctor Joseph Shaughnessy yesterday about head and neck cancer interesting 21 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:40.519 that HPV. Yeah, that causes uh throat cancer and sadly, 22 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.319 as doctor Shaughnessy pointed out, it's literally everywhere. So just 23 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.680 things you need to look out for, signs, symptoms, lifestyle 24 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.159 changes that you can engage in to prevent the head 25 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.439 and neck cancer. Most notably don't smoke and apparently don't 26 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.000 accessively drink, So go ahead and go down that road. 27 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.000 Alternatively trying to duck, run and cover from HPV it 28 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.799 can be a little difficult thing to do, given hell 29 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.599 widely it spreads. It is out there in the world. 30 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.439 Sorry to pass along the bad information, but that's what 31 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.240 doctor Shaughnessy from OHC is there to do. And yes, 32 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.960 I had my scan yesterday. I don't know what the 33 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.360 results will be. The earliest I can get them back 34 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.039 is today, but it'd be more likely tomorrow. So so 35 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.199 many people have asked, and you know, I cannot thank 36 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:24.879 you enough for the kind words of the prayers and 37 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.000 the concern for my health. So I'll keep my fingers 38 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.159 crossed at at least some positive results. But again I'm 39 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.120 not real optimistic. But whatever the deal, the hand that 40 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.759 life deals you and you go from there, take good 41 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.479 care of your health and put your hands in put 42 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.159 your health in the hands of some good doctors, which 43 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:46.960 I feel like I have done with my friends at 44 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.919 OHC Todd's Ledge and the VA. What a wonderful thing, 45 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.919 and God bless him. I got a challenge coin from 46 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.639 Todd is since ANIVA challenge coin add to my collection 47 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.840 and challenge coins is. But I will certainly cherish that. 48 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.800 Been working with Todd in the since ANIVA talking about 49 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.000 all the things they're doing for our American veterans, and 50 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.680 it's a relationship I have thoroughly enjoyed over the years, 51 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.879 and it gives me great pleasure to keep my veteran 52 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.039 a listening audience up to speed on what's going on 53 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.960 over the VA, as well as with the various veteran 54 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.240 services to join the program and other guests in veterans 55 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.919 organizations like Patriots Landing. I mentioned that when I was 56 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.599 talking to Todd the other day. So they're all out 57 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.719 there and they're there to help your needs and service 58 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.240 you because you well rose to the challenge and served 59 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.360 our country. Monday, Monday, Brian James, that's up there, Christopher 60 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.199 Smith and Smith Avan, It's all right there. Fifty five 61 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.000 Krsey dot com and encouragement to get the iHeartMedia app 62 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.520 wire there. It makes it so easy to listen. Hello 63 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.159 to my wife, who is in Chicago for a conference 64 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.759 this week. Yes, it's bachelor week for Brian Thomas. Honestly 65 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.560 rather it not be. Yeah, I don't take my wife 66 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.960 for granted ever, but it's those times when he's not 67 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.639 around got started. I don't know that I could take 68 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.439 care of myself. It wasn't for my wife. Yes, I 69 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.520 I'll kick my coverage and I'm happy to admit that. 70 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.759 Also there it is again looking forward to seven oh five. 71 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.600 First guests in the morning, Anson Freerricks. He's a Cincinnati 72 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.199 native and former president of Anheuser Busch. He was out 73 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.480 and actually saw the woke reality coming before he got 74 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.079 out in Anheuser Busch. But he wrote a book on 75 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:30.639 and we're going to talk about it today at seven 76 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.160 o five, last call for bud Light. Doesn't take too 77 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.120 much to read into that one, does it, And so 78 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.279 Ansoner joined the program to talk about his time at 79 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.360 bud Light or with Budweiser. And you know what happened 80 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.959 to bud with the woke ideology that took over? Where 81 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.399 it came from? How it crept in. And how is 82 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.680 it that a beer company and the most popular beer 83 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.199 in America could possibly lose sight of its core audience 84 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.240 so much that it fell off the map as a 85 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:06.560 consequence of the Dylan Moulvaney controversy, among other things. Yeah, 86 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.240 the old focus was on sports and partying and having 87 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.160 fun and you know, enjoy yourself. An icy cold bud 88 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.279 Light goes down easy, and that work for a number 89 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.920 of years, a tried and true strategy. Only they have 90 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.839 it blow up almost in a moment's time. And if 91 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.759 you notice, as I'm thinking about that, and I suppose 92 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.839 it was a conservative backlash, but considering it's an eighty 93 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.839 twenty thing, this whole transgender women are, you know, men 94 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.560 or women kind of thing, the Dylan Mulvaney's of the 95 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.040 world is and talk about losing propositions, it is something 96 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.839 that eighty percent of Americans reject. So it's difficult for 97 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.959 me to call it a conservative revolt against bud Light 98 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.879 the boycott, but let's just say for the sake of discussion, 99 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.519 it is. And I'm sure a large majority of the 100 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.399 people who went on a bud Light boycott, and by 101 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.360 the fact they may have drank bud Light for years. 102 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:08.000 Did they go around and torch bud Light displays its stores. 103 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.759 Did they go out to bud Light distributors and spray 104 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.959 paint them and protest in front of them. No, you 105 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.360 just didn't put bud Light in your shopping cart when 106 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.160 you're going out to the grocery store, your local convenience store. 107 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.959 That was your response, and your reaction it's a legitimate one. 108 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.120 You're entitled to buy or not buy whatever product you 109 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.279 want in this world, in this country, and if you 110 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.639 reject the ideology of a company, you reject maybe the 111 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:37.079 product because it tastes like crap, you don't buy it. Obviously, 112 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.600 the star contrast from people going around and burning up 113 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.439 private property owned by other people, people who were not 114 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.480 making a political statement when they bought a Tesla for example. 115 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.839 I don't know. It is the star contrast between the 116 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.959 anger and the violence that comes from the left compared 117 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.560 to that of the conservatives. And you were probably remember 118 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.439 during the Biden administration, it was who was the big 119 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.240 problem in the country, who represented the biggest challenged national security, 120 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.519 who represented the biggest terroristic threat was always you know, 121 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.600 right wing conservatives or Nazis or racists or something like that. 122 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.319 I can't really remember, and you can correct me if 123 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.079 I'm wrong. If I've overlooked maybe one or two events 124 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:28.720 that were racial, anti or racist based organized events protested 125 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.839 involved violence related to conservative causes. If they were out there, 126 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.199 they pretty flew. They pretty much flew underneath my radar 127 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.040 compared to all the violence and disruption that we saw 128 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.079 during let's say Anti File or what we're witnessing now 129 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.759 with the completely unhinged left dealing with the Trump administration 130 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.959 for whatever reason, and the Department of Government efficiency. Oh, 131 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.759 let's burn a tesla. Okay, connect the dots on that 132 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.839 one if you're able to, and nobody in the protests 133 00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.720 were really able to do that. Dono and a Neil 134 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.639 America for Prosperity. He'll be out at seven thirty the 135 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.120 return it out of it and you always enjoy hearing 136 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.879 from him to probably have a call to action for us. 137 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.759 We'll figure out what AFP's working on. Congressman Thomas Massey. 138 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.759 My favorite hour of radio with Congressman Massey, followed by 139 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.040 Judge Unit of Politano. No fan of Tariff's. Judge of Politano. 140 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.399 He says they're actually unconstitutional. And there's he makes a 141 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.519 good argument for it, so don't get mad at him. 142 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.519 Up front. I'll explain it, he'll explain it. But Congressman 143 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:28.279 Massey on the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act, and another one 144 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.159 that I love, the country of origin labeling, will we 145 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.279 get the reinstatement of that? That was that multi country 146 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.519 trade agreement, the Mexico Canada US Trade agreement, which removed 147 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.480 our ability to know where our food came from. If 148 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.799 you're at the store and you have a pile of 149 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.919 meat in front of you, are you interested in all 150 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:56.080 in knowing where the meat came from? I certainly am. 151 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.559 I would like to see it. Have a nice proud 152 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.320 you A grown, manufactured, made and processed in the United 153 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.200 States of America. And if I had a stack of 154 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.600 Mexican prepared food next to that one, and all things 155 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.360 being equal to pound of ground beef, as a pound 156 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.360 of ground beef, i'd i prefer the USA label. Would 157 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.360 the price be different? I don't know. Pre terrified, I 158 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.519 can't answer that question, But in terms of my preference, 159 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.879 I'd like to support the American farm worker. I trust 160 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:29.960 American manufactured products more. Yes, all these rules and regulations 161 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.039 regarding cleanliness and USDA standards and all that do cost 162 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.279 us more because of the regulatory burdens they place on 163 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.360 American industry. But I'll be happy to enjoy them because 164 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.399 I know if I pick a pound of American manufactured 165 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.360 ground beef and it says it's manufactured in America, I 166 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.159 view that as a good thing. It provides me with information, 167 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.440 which you know me. I'm big on information. I can 168 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:59.440 then make an informed decision. I always read the label 169 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.159 before I buy shrimp. I want United States, either Golf 170 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.759 of Mexico or Golf of America, depending upon which side 171 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.759 of the ledger you stand on. It's a golf, it's 172 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.799 where the shrimp are. And if American sailors are out there, 173 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:18.320 fishermen are out there gathering up fresh golf shrimp, wild 174 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.399 caught fresh golf shrimp. I want to know that because 175 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.399 I don't want to buy farm raised shrimp from Vietnam 176 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.879 or any other foreign country. I don't want farm raised shrimp. 177 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.519 That's a label I enjoy reading. Why can't we have that? 178 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.399 Congressomassi will address that and we I'm looking forward to 179 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.759 that conversation. Also, there is some efforts to stop Donald 180 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.679 Trump tariffs, which you know, segues quite nicely into Judge 181 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:48.720 Ennitapolitana's conclusions about tariffs, and briefly, as he writes in 182 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.480 his column, in nineteen seventy seven, Congress and acted the 183 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:57.279 International Economic Emergency Powers Act. That's what Donald Trump asserted 184 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.799 in slapping the twenty five percent tariffs on Canon Mexico, saying, 185 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.879 the fentanyl crisis is an emergency and we need to 186 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.960 do something about it. So we're slapping a terrify on 187 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.120 you guys unless you help us stop the flow of 188 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.080 fentanyl into our country. Well, that ended up being a 189 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.320 little bit broader in terms of the impact on other 190 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:21.360 countries and other goods outside Canada and Mexico. So then 191 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.440 he asserted the fact that we have a trade imbalance, 192 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.480 citing the emergency that was created by a massive trade imbalance, 193 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.759 and we certainly have a massive trade imbalance. That's one 194 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.759 of the reasons we're in his trade war with China. 195 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.279 And whether or not the tariffs ultimately are determined by 196 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.279 a court to be legal or not under the International 197 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.320 Economic Emergency Powers Act, which Poltonus says in and of 198 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.559 itself is a delegation of the spending powers of Congress 199 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.039 to the President, which you can't delegate constitutionally enshrining powers 200 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.039 to other agencies or other branches of government. But that's 201 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.360 the extra layer that's in this discussion. But because we've 202 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.080 had a trade imbalance going on since it's nineteen thirty four, 203 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.000 he points out that by definition, it's neither sudden nor 204 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.240 unexpected and therefore can't qualify as the emergency, which negates 205 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:12.279 the basis for the tariffs that have been implemented so far. 206 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.879 So probably ruffling a few feathers of my listening audience, 207 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.679 although I know some people in my listening audience are 208 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.600 big fans of tariffs anyway, And we are bracing ourselves 209 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.159 again for the just implemented one hundred and four percent 210 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.679 tariffs on China, which take took effect this morning at 211 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.960 twelve oh one. So more on that and some victories 212 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.279 for the Trump administration in the Supreme Court. We can 213 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.039 talk about that, and we can talk to you, including 214 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.399 you being Mississippi James, who's on the phone. We'll have 215 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.159 to wait for a moment to get his call. It 216 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.759 is already five eighteen. Hang on there for a moment. 217 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.120 You guys can feel free to call in two, five, one, three, seven, 218 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.399 four nine, fifty eight two three talk be right back 219 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:56.720 after these brief words. Fifty five KRC got up in 220 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.759 five twenty two of eighty five KRC Detox Station. Oh, 221 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.600 real quick, because I do want to forget. I mentioned 222 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.600 my wife's had a ton of the conference in Chicago. 223 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.519 Do you know what, Sean, I'll pull the room. What 224 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.440 do you think the valet parking rate is for the 225 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.679 hotel she's staying with in at Michigan Avenue in Chicago. 226 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:25.039 Twenty bucks? How about eighty per day? It is ridiculous, 227 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.200 Thank you very much. And she also she ordered a 228 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.919 Cobs salad and one glass of white wine room serves. 229 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.360 It was I think she said, sixty dollars. Yeah, don't 230 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.519 go to Chicago. I used to live there, man, eight years. 231 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.240 In this one of the I say it out loud 232 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.000 because one of the main reasons I'm so happy we 233 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.120 chose to move back to Cincinnati. We both took a 234 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.759 cut and salary in our cost of living, or rather 235 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.399 our quality of living went through the roof. And there's 236 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.120 a couple of illustrations exactly why why would you go 237 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.639 to Chicago for your business conference? Anyway, Mississippi, James, thanks 238 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.759 for bearing with me while I vented my spleen on that. 239 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.960 Welcome back, my Friend's good to hear from you this morning. 240 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.559 All right, good morning, doctor Brian. 241 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.360 Now you just said an example about your wife in Chicago. 242 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.679 I'll say that first, so I get to my point. Okay, 243 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:16.519 about five years ago I went to New York. Now 244 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.679 I use points to get the hotel off my credit cards, 245 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.879 you know, accumulated points on there. But your park it 246 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.879 was seventy. 247 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.960 Five dollars a day. Yeah, about five years ago is 248 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:29.559 New York? 249 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.279 My goodness, you. 250 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.519 Know what, Mississippi's I bet the cost of them over 251 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.879 in our valet parking overnight New York is probably one 252 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.080 hundred dollars. Now, you know, Chicago would still look like 253 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.440 a like a like a deal compared to it. Ah, 254 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:47.399 it's crazy. Yeah, she's getting re emerge, but her company's 255 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.679 not doing serving itself by having every person that's at 256 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.840 that conference charging that kind of money that's coming out 257 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.639 of the business's bottom line. Why do not you use 258 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.240 a different city? As she drove past Indianapolis on the 259 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.879 way up there, they could have chosen I bet it's 260 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.559 only like thirty forty bucks for valet parking in India 261 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.919 every night. Anyway, go ahead and get to your point, James, 262 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.279 right now. I'm gonna help you out a little bit. Now, 263 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:14.120 first I must uh you still there be out of here. 264 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.279 Okay, I couldn't hear anything. But I'm gonna help you 265 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.080 out a little bit. But first I must make my disclaimer. Hey, 266 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.519 I come in peace. I love everybody, and there's nothing 267 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:27.720 you can do about it. 268 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.360 You made me, Yeah, you've made that clear ever since 269 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:32.720 you've been calling in. I've got no. 270 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.480 Argument with that, right And if you know me, I 271 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:40.000 do not condone any violence. I do not advocate for 272 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.080 any destruction, burning, tearing or whatever. Agreed, but not an 273 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.919 example you just made about bud Light with anhuser Bush, 274 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:52.720 them leaving from their base that supported them. Yes, I 275 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.440 see the same thing happening with Elon Musk, the people 276 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.799 that loved him and adored him when he was doing 277 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.200 this thing, then when he got into politics and pull 278 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.480 a rug from und the people. They are reacting in 279 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.759 a certain way. I know the intention was to find 280 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.480 the fraud, the wayte the abuse and all of that, right, 281 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.519 but it's a certain way you have to present it. 282 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.159 Back to the peoples, you know, and it was so abruptly. 283 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.639 Know what I'm saying is right, wrong and different. I'm 284 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.600 just saying from my position, anytime you pull a rug 285 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.720 from on the people's they're gonna react. 286 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.000 And I do not negative weight and I don't disagree 287 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.240 with that. So let's assume with the second discussion, they're 288 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.799 all upset with what Elon Musk is doing, and therefore 289 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.840 if they acted like the bud Like people, they just 290 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.639 wouldn't buy Tesla stock. They wouldn't buy Tesla automobiles. If 291 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.919 they own one, they might choose to sell it because 292 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.039 they don't want to be seen driving around in one. 293 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:54.039 That would be a perfectly acceptable response. But burning them 294 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.600 and spray painting Tesla dealerships and being violent towards people, 295 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.679 and you know, keying rid property and spray painting private property, 296 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.319 that's a horse of a different color. That's criminal activity. 297 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.720 And I don't respect remember anybody engaging in criminal activity 298 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.559 against bud Light because they went down a different path. 299 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.000 And if people were just calm and peaceful and just 300 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.480 recognized out loud and tried to support a protest and 301 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.359 a boycott against Tesla, that will be perfectly acceptable behavior. 302 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.119 But that's not what's going on. It's widespread violence and 303 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.640 destruction of property, which and even if you take out 304 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.720 the Tesla automobile, you know, call it a widget. If 305 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.920 it was widespread violence and destruction of widgets, it would 306 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.000 still be criminal activity. That's the difference that I was 307 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.880 trying to illustrate. So, yeah, you're right. You're entitled to 308 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.039 make your own choices. You're entitled to choose, and you're 309 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.640 entitled to decide that some person that you supported and 310 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.920 thought was the greatest savior of the climate that ever existed, 311 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.119 or the most brilliant man ever has now become some 312 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.960 sort of rogue. You can change your opinion and change 313 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.480 your mind and also chase your change your buying choices 314 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.119 and sport that concept. But like you said, and I'm 315 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.599 with you, I don't agree with the violence five twenty seven. 316 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.680 It's the stark contrast what's going on five twenty seven 317 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:10.640 fifty five Carrius of the talks station, Local stories or 318 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.720 your phone calls. Either way you go, We'll be right 319 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:20.720 back about thirty one. Happy Wednesday. Oh, I imagine talked 320 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.720 about Aaron Anson Frerek's author of the book Last Call 321 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.759 for bud Lie, former President Van huns A Bush seven 322 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.079 oh five, Diamond and Neil at seven thirty, Congressman Thomas 323 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.000 Massey eighth five Napolitano of course at a thirty. I 324 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.559 forgot to mention doctor j Rissover, he's doing an empower 325 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.480 you seminar and that will be tomorrow night getting at 326 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.559 seven pm, making America healthy. He is really into the 327 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.720 you know, make America healthy again kick that we all 328 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.480 seem to be on, and I hope that gained some 329 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:55.440 steam for all of our sake. Meanwhile, over the local stories, 330 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.039 the University of Cincinnati's thank you to The Inquirer's Elizabeth 331 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:04.319 Kim credit credit biological bathroom signs went viral on Reddit 332 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.359 and apparently caused outrage among students. Back in February, they 333 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.720 were removed, university confirming the science were taken down last month. 334 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.640 Signs appeared after Ohio's bathroom bill, which required students in 335 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.640 Ohio to use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their own 336 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.920 sex assigned at birth, took effect. Back in February. The 337 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.519 bill Foliday host of executive voters that Trump signed regarding 338 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:30.039 transgender people, DEI and all those programs. When students protesting 339 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:34.960 the UC's rollback of DEI during a Board of trustees meeting, 340 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.519 asked whether using the word biological was legally necessary. University 341 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:46.640 of President Nevil Pental called the signs an error. His words, 342 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.359 there were one hundred and seventeen signs installed in four 343 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.200 residential communities on the campus. Court of the University spokes 344 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.440 first in speaking with the Enquirre mb Riley in response 345 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.240 to an enquirre record request created using a three D 346 00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.279 printer installed by regular employees as part of their ongoing duties. 347 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:11.359 Total cost of labor and materials sixteen thousand dollars High 348 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.119 Representative Adam Bird, Representative Republican from New Richmond, co sponsor 349 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.039 of the bathroom bill. Spic, speaking with the inquire back 350 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.599 in February, said the biological language on the signs was 351 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:27.920 not necessary to comply with the law.

Ross was her direct supervisor and Staalheim's 484 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.519 annual review was pending at the time. Accord to the report, 485 00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.640 her complaint asked for an apology from Ross and that 486 00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:18.319 he considered resigning his mayor. Investigator found Ross's conduct quote 487 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.920 directly caused Stalheim's inability to work in an environment free 488 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.960 from unreasonable sexual harassment and created an offensive work environment. 489 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.799 Close quote, Well, it's because you can't unsee something like that. 490 00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:36.759 You're fighting, Ross said Wednesday, takes full responsibility.

He was out before they went 542 00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:56.759 fully woke, but he was there when they started going woke, 543 00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.240 and he can explain that to us, and he will 544 00:31:58.279 --> 00:31:59.920 coming up in an hour.

Will that be 553 00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.400 reinstated since we don't know the country of origin from 554 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:33.920 the food we eat and just don't ever have never 555 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.680 understood that anyway. We might get his reaction on the tariffs. 556 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.319 I'm quite sure where Congressman s he is on tariffs. 557 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:43.039 Joe Jenna Politano not a fan because he said they're 558 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.160 not constitutional based upon the setup and the arguments made 559 00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:50.400 in support of how they are being enacted. Should be 560 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.799 a controversial for some of my listeners and not so 561 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.640 much for others. Plus an empower use seminar, Doctor J 562 00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:58.839 Risso or doctor J. He's going to be making America Healthy. 563 00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.480 That one's taking place tom ight at ten. We'll get 564 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:03.559 some of the details from doctor J at the end 565 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.799 of the program. The meantime over to the phones five one, three, seven, nine, 566 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:08.880 fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk. 567 00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:10.880 Got a few callers online. We'll take them in the 568 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:12.720 order in which they received. To just bear with me, 569 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.000 William and Steve when I take Bobby's call, because he 570 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.240 was first. Bobby, welcome back to the program. 571 00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:22.000 Happy hump Day, my brother Faith, flagged family, and forty 572 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.880 five seventies. 573 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.119 There you are, or whatever firearm you choose, that's right. 574 00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.880 Uh, Congresso Massy when he comes on later on, I 575 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:33.839 don't know if you'll have time to chime in with 576 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.759 him about or or not. But one thing, it's not 577 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.160 what people say and do, it's what they don't say 578 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.039 and do. And since the president's been in office, we 579 00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:46.079 haven't heard anything about the sis and the government contractors 580 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.680 that January the sixth Congressome Massy's got a stack of 581 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:52.039 papers as tall as a file cabinet. 582 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.480 Yeah, that's worthy asking about it, because you're right, not 583 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.559 a peep since the new administration's been in. So that's 584 00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:02.319 a worthy conversation if we have time. I just wrote 585 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.119 J six question mark all my notes for Congressroman Assy. 586 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:08.079 I'll see if I can't squeeze that in. Appreciate the 587 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.360 heads out on Bobby and forty five seventy may not 588 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.199 be the ideal firearm for a petite, young, a small 589 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.960 framed individual. I just have to note that, William, thanks 590 00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:20.679 for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show. 591 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.039 Hey, thanks Brian for taking my call. And you know 592 00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:29.960 the stuff you're being a law you're and when is 593 00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:33.639 enough going to be enough? When they're going to quit? 594 00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:34.639 These judges? 595 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.840 I mean, they don't have the power to get in 596 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:43.199 the front of the president and what the people voted for, can. 597 00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:47.239 You well, you know, okay, therein lies the challenge because 598 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:50.840 you know, from a lawyer's perspective, I have to respond 599 00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.320 to you by saying no. In some cases they do. 600 00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:59.239 The judicial branches there to interpret the sort of constitutionality 601 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.840 of laws that have and put in place the constitutionality 602 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.480 of actions. The executive branch does have its limitation much 603 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.480 in the same way Congress has its limitations and if 604 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:11.559 someone oversteps their boundaries, And in fact, Judge Jennita Pultown 605 00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.199 is going to talk about this today in connection with 606 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:17.000 with tariffs. Power of the purse lies in Congress. How 607 00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:19.159 is it that Donald Trump can just go ahead and 608 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.320 impose what amount to the power of the purse implication 609 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.719 tariffs on other countries without approval of Congress. Well, there 610 00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:27.800 is an act that was passed back in the seventies 611 00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.960 which does provide a vehicle for that. Now, whether or 612 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.280 not that Act is in and of itself constitutional, because 613 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:39.320 it represents a delegation of congressional authority to the executive branch, 614 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.840 that alone may be unconstitutional. So courts do play a 615 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.519 profound role in this, and just don't don't look at it. 616 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:48.880 I mean in presence of whose ox is being gored, 617 00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:53.320 because there have been liberal administrations and Democrat presidents who've 618 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:55.679 tried the same type of things, only to have court 619 00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.280 step in and stop them from doing it. So I 620 00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:01.639 appreciate where you're coming from. It's not that I'm not 621 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:05.000 sympathetic to it. It is frustrating, but these things have 622 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.679 a way of working themselves through the process. And you know, 623 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.079 Trump just got three in a row at the Supreme Court. 624 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.079 Maybe not as broad a victory as Donald Trump and 625 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:16.360 the administration might have wanted, but you know, Supreme Court 626 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:19.679 ruled on the tens of thousands of fired probationary employees 627 00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:23.679 and they came out on Trump's favor. On that they 628 00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.360 came out in Trump's favor on. I said, you know, 629 00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:29.760 doge's access to some of these agencies that were refusing 630 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:33.679 to give them access to the information, So you can 631 00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:38.960 score some wins. And that's why you want conservative jurists, 632 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:42.400 not judicial activists. The activist component of the ones that 633 00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:47.000 are willing to overlook constitutional limitations, overlook the separation of 634 00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:49.559 powers and the realities that they present, and go ahead 635 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.960 and just do whatever the hell they want and essentially 636 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:56.400 legislate from the bench. What is legislating from the bench? 637 00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:56.880 Roe v. 638 00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.079 Wadees a great illustration of it that was a whole 639 00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:02.840 cloth creation of what amounted to a piece of legislation. 640 00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:07.840 Legislation is the exclusive power of the legislative branch of government, 641 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.119 and people were making that argument for years and years. 642 00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.360 They overstep their boundaries, and quite often judges do that. 643 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:18.639 So again I'm not unsympathetic to what you're saying, but 644 00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:24.280 they do play a principal role and keeping the power 645 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.000 in check and keeping people in their wheelhouse as opposed 646 00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:31.039 to letting them run amok. So, you know, and it's 647 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:33.079 got to go back to Barack Obama started this with 648 00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:36.320 his phone and his pen and a lot of things 649 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.480 he did. You know, probably deeming unconstitutional and beyond the 650 00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:42.840 executive power reach. So let's see what Steve's got. Steve, 651 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.840 thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show. 652 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.960 Yes, sir, in honor of you, getting ready to go 653 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.280 on vacation and in fact Friday, I'm going to India. 654 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:53.440 So I'm. 655 00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:57.639 We've been to about twenty five different countries and this one, 656 00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:59.760 I think is going to be one of the most unique. 657 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.400 Is going to call you from India and I was like, 658 00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:08.199 what's the time difference? And it actually covers two time zones, 659 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:11.800 but they wanted the country in to have the same 660 00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:16.159 time everywhere, so like the East would be ten o'clock 661 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:19.079 in the west would be nine. Instead of them picking 662 00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.920 ten or nine, they picked nine thirty. So it's really 663 00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:28.199 and I'm thinking that's going to be a perfect way 664 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.480 of portraying how strange this vacation is going to be, 665 00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:34.280 because we've never seen that anywhere else we've gone. They 666 00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:37.239 always thinking, you know, they might not follows daylight saving 667 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.960 time or anything. Sometimes you know, there are things like that, 668 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:42.719 but I've never seen where it's like on the half 669 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:44.639 like a half hour, it's a nine and a half 670 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.079 hour difference, which I thought was, I'm like, this is 671 00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:48.840 I've never seen this never ever. 672 00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:51.320 I did not know that there was such a thing 673 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.159 as a nine and a half or a half hour 674 00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:54.639 increment there in that time. 675 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:55.880 I did not either. 676 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.320 But I'm thinking that's just that's just getting me ready 677 00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:01.480 for how strange this is going to be. I think 678 00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:03.599 it's going to be. And I know danesh used, I 679 00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.119 haven't heard him in a while, but I think it's 680 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.920 going to be the most beautiful and I'm not trying 681 00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.639 to offend anybody. I think it's going to be the 682 00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:16.159 most beautiful and the most horrific thing I see simultaneously, 683 00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:20.199 with the poverty, the conditions, the animals everywhere. I mean, 684 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.000 I'm an animal lover like you are. 685 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:25.000 Oh, it's going to be a culture shock, without question. 686 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:27.360 But isn't that why you travel globally? 687 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:31.119 Abs Absolutely, And I mean we've we've been everywhere, so 688 00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:34.079 I mean you and yeah, I mean so yeah, So 689 00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:35.039 that's exciting. 690 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.280 I gotta salute your Huevos for doing something like that. 691 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.119 No international traveler am I, and you know I am. 692 00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.079 I get just sort of anxiety thinking about being in 693 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:48.199 a country where I don't speak the language. I am 694 00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:52.039 a sort of roaming the wilderness, and you know, a 695 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:54.360 fish out of water. And I don't know that I 696 00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:57.840 could ever become comfortable traveling. And it's like going to China. 697 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.039 I'm sure there's some amazing things to see in and 698 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.800 it wouldn't shock me at all. It'd be a beautiful 699 00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.119 thing to see. But they don't speak broad English and 700 00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.159 all the signs are in Chinese. I say, I wanted 701 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:09.079 to go get a beer or something. How in the 702 00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:11.199 hell would I know where the beer's being sold because 703 00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:13.599 I don't speak the language and I can't read this signage. 704 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.239 So is this a guided tour? You got somebody helping 705 00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:17.880 you along the way. Are you just going out on 706 00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:18.320 your own? 707 00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.559 I am going by myself, but I'm hooking up with 708 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:26.039 a tour after I get there. So, I because it 709 00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:29.360 looks like a very intimidating country. I mean, we've done 710 00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.599 everything on our own. We were in Egypt, we were 711 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.440 in Jerusalem. We've done all this stuff on our own. 712 00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.119 We were in Rio Dejian Eio, and it's easy to do. 713 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:41.239 You do a little planning. But India looks more intimidating 714 00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:42.480 than any place I've been. 715 00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.760 I say, so I want it. I want to save travels. 716 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:48.960 Man'd a little bit. But here's why I called. And 717 00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.800 you ever do something, and it's like, don't ever do 718 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:55.800 that again. A couple of days ago, I'm drawing, and 719 00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:57.480 I love animals. 720 00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:57.400 Like you do. 721 00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:01.519 I'm going to India. Yeah, but I'm driving home and 722 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.519 there's a couple of cars stopped and this is on 723 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:10.119 Turkey Foot in Independence or Langer, And okay, why are 724 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:14.639 they stopped. Well, there's the biggest snapping turtle you've ever seen. 725 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:18.519 That's like halfway out in the road. Now, I've seen 726 00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.519 them before driving by and I and if nobody was stopped, 727 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.760 I would have gone around it. It's easy not to hit. 728 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.880 I mean, it's easy to see. But I figured I 729 00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:30.440 better let me stop because all these other people are stopped. 730 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:33.079 And I went up to it, and I've never seen 731 00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:35.719 one up close, and I thought, well, now I've got 732 00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.960 people watching me. So I'm you know, here I am. 733 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:40.119 I'm walking right up here to do something. 734 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.840 A viral YouTube video to get I'm. 735 00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:47.119 Almost missing a finger is what I'm doing. So I figured, 736 00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:49.920 let me pick it up. Well, it's heavy. Well I'm 737 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:53.119 trying to put it not on the road. It's the heavy. 738 00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:56.360 It's really heavy. And I did not know this. I 739 00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:59.920 in my mind a turtle moved slow and maybe it walked, 740 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.559 maybe a walk slow, and its head and neck came 741 00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:06.440 so far out of that shell and it was like 742 00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:10.000 on a spring and it popped back on the back 743 00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:12.679 of the shell to me and I just had it 744 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:14.679 a few inches off the off the road and I 745 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.000 dropped it. I was so scared. 746 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.360 Don't go the snapping turtle. Their heads and necks are 747 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:22.519 really really long. 748 00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:24.559 I didn't know that. 749 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.159 Well well, so I did pick it up and I 750 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.000 like trying to grab it near the back of the shell. 751 00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:37.360 And the toenails on this thing are monstrous. 752 00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:39.559 It's a prehistoric creature. 753 00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:43.480 Man, it's and it's nasty. It's and I'll tell you 754 00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:46.960 what was worse. It had mud underneath it and it 755 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.760 was the stinkiest stuff. And I had this all over 756 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.559 my hands and it's like I went home and washed 757 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.400 my hands and everything and you can't get It's like 758 00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:59.360 a musky, nasty smell. And I was just thinking if 759 00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:03.079 this thing nip me and I and I broke the skin. 760 00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:05.800 In fact, there's got to be so much bacteria in 761 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:06.599 this thing. 762 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.960 I don't think you'd be going to again, and you 763 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.519 wouldn't have been going to India. Probably you'd be missing 764 00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:17.039 a limb or an arm, a hand, a finger at least. Yeah. 765 00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:20.280 I mean I I've been swimming in ponds before, and 766 00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.760 that's the one thing that freaks me out because quite 767 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.519 often those things living ponds, and if your toes dangle 768 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.039 down in front of one, you might lose a toe. Yeah, 769 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:31.079 read up on them. Those creatures are nasty. Man, you're 770 00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:36.079 you know, cautionary tail today. Don't do what Steve did. Steve, 771 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:43.039 I'm glad you're okay man six seventeenth. If I've care 772 00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:48.920 see the talk station. Okay, So Cory if instant message 773 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:50.639 me if you will. If you want to move a snapper, 774 00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.159 grab them by the tail. They can't reach their tails. 775 00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:56.840 How about I wouldn't want to move a snapper. Not 776 00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:03.360 a chance. Well pass on that anyway. Back to the 777 00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:08.480 judicial realities, the editory board of this journal did a 778 00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:11.199 nice jap summing up the several cases that there have 779 00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:14.480 been victories for the Trump administration recently. And I've mentioned 780 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.320 a few among the radio, but a trio of recent 781 00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:20.239 orders they sent the lower court judges an important reminder 782 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.760 that they must still respect judicial rules and procedures. A 783 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.239 five four majority described as a partial victory this past Monday, 784 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:31.119 allowing the Trump administration to continue deporting Venezuelan's believed to 785 00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:35.280 be members of the Trading the Iragua gang under the 786 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:40.119 Alien Enemies Act. It doesn't rule in the legal merits, 787 00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:43.880 but holds that plaintiffs must challenge their deportations in the 788 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:47.480 district courts in which they are detained under habeas corpus, 789 00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:51.400 rather than seek like class action relief under the Administrative 790 00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.039 Procedures Act. The order also requires the administration to provide 791 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:57.119 the deportees with notice and an opportunity to contest deportation. 792 00:44:57.559 --> 00:44:59.880 This was napolitanus point that people got pissed off of 793 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:03.679 out a week or two ago. It's due process. Okay, 794 00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:05.440 you're going to deport me and send me off to 795 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.559 El Salvador, you at least have to allow me an 796 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.440 opportunity to go to court and argue that I am 797 00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:16.000 not subject to the deportation. That means the administration will 798 00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.639 no longer be able to summarily deport Venezuela, as the 799 00:45:18.679 --> 00:45:21.639 El Salvador deportees will also still be allowed to challenge 800 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.719 the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act in federal courts, 801 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:28.159 which seems to defeat the president's purpose in using the law, 802 00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:31.760 which was to end run due process and expedite deportations. 803 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:38.039 End running due process constitutional right, you have due process rights. 804 00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:44.320 Three liberal justices obviously wanted to leave in place the 805 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:49.480 lower court blocking the deportation. They point out, as kavanab 806 00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:51.679 just as Cavanaugh noted in an occurrence, the use of 807 00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:55.880 habeas for transfer claims is not novel in the extradition context, 808 00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:59.599 and with respect to transfers of Guantanam and other wartime detainees, 809 00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:03.400 Hebeus Corpus proceedings have long been the appropriate vehicle. So 810 00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:06.000 you just sue in the court that's nearest to where 811 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.280 you're being held. You can make your legal arguments. You 812 00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.360 just can't have those plainists and all those alleged gang 813 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.559 members pile up in Washington, d C. Represented by the 814 00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:22.119 ACLU and some liberal leaning court basically Forum Shopping said 815 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:24.400 the High Court may eventually take up a case regarding 816 00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:27.519 the use of the Alien Enemies Act, but the order 817 00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:30.800 on Monday prevents a single district court from summarily blocking 818 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.039 the deportation. So there's your there's some relief to that 819 00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.119 district court acting beyond its authority. They point out, the 820 00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:43.840 court issued another order, another brush back to errant judges 821 00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.599 yesterday when they lifted an order requiring the Trumpet administration 822 00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:52.239 to reinstate sixteen thousand fired employees. They didn't rule on 823 00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:55.639 the merits. The Justice is held that the environmental groups 824 00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:00.880 and union challenges dismissed dismissals they lacked legal stand to sue. 825 00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:05.519 They weren't facing a unique issue that they themselves were 826 00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:09.639 going to be uniquely harmed. And that's where standing fundamentally 827 00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:11.760 boils down to, and it's been the biggest roadblock to 828 00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.119 getting something in front of judges. You're like, how come 829 00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:17.280 someone can't sue? Well, if you're not uniquely harmed by 830 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.039 an action, then you can't run into court and challenge it. 831 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:23.840 It's just it's a frustrating concept in the law, but 832 00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:25.960 it's there, and it's been there from well the beginning 833 00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:31.000 of our country. Bedrock Article three principle planeiffs must demonstrate 834 00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:34.519 they are likely to suffer concrete harm as a result 835 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.239 of a defendant's actions in order to bring a case 836 00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:40.480 to federal court. Now, the plaineiffs claim they've been harmed 837 00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:44.039 by reduction in public services caused by the layoffs, but 838 00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.280 that's speculative at best, according to the court's ruling. So 839 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:49.360 sorry sucks to be you. You don't have standing. We're 840 00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:53.760 throwing the case out. Court stressed that again in a 841 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:56.719 Friday miss passed in a five to four unsigned order 842 00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:59.519 that let the Education Department withhold sixty five million dollars 843 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:02.719 in grants for teacher training. Lower court had ordered those 844 00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:05.199 funds to be reinstated, but, as the court pointed out, 845 00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:09.119 the limited waiver of sovereign immunity doesn't extend to orders 846 00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:12.719 to enforce a contractual obligation to pay money. In other words, 847 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:16.519 the plains who want the Feds to release frozen funds 848 00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:19.280 must seek relief in Federal Claims Court. There is a 849 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:23.800 process that's already set up for that. That's essentially what 850 00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:27.039 justice is. Alito, Gorsage, Thomas, and Kavanaugh said in the 851 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:31.320 earliest earlier decision in a case involving US AID grants. 852 00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:34.119 There is a process that they have to go through. 853 00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:37.440 They didn't. They weren't in court at the appropriate time, 854 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.599 so the cases got chucked. So there you can get 855 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.119 your judiciary reach, or you can you can get judicial relief. 856 00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:48.800 Sometimes the wheels adjust to spend slowly, sometimes very slowly. 857 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:51.599 This time they were treated on an expedita basis, So 858 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:53.440 you got an answer to the question a lot earlier 859 00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:56.519 than I think someone like me would have guessed. What happen? 860 00:48:56.960 --> 00:49:09.679 Six six thirty three fifty five KRC the talk station Wednesday, 861 00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:13.039 Drake to the phones. I do local stories, but Gary 862 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:14.920 from New Hampshire's on New Hampshire. Gary, welcome back to 863 00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:16.679 the program, and a happy Wednesday to you, sir. 864 00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:21.119 Happy Wednesday to you. First, I'm going to give Steve 865 00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:24.079 a little advice I used to give my troops when 866 00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:27.440 I was in don't play with the indigenous creatures. They're 867 00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:28.360 not playing with you. 868 00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:29.599 True. 869 00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:36.280 Absolutely, I've almost been eaten by a hyena, I came 870 00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:39.920 face to face with a cobra, and I almost got 871 00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.480 stomped on a twelve foot python. 872 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:47.199 In my career, those are my closest encounters. But I 873 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:50.639 just I just stayed away from you know, smart advice, 874 00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:55.880 smart advice, The next thing, the next thing I want 875 00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:59.519 to do. I just wanted to offer you prayers for 876 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:03.840 your cat scan if they're all praying for you, but 877 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:06.719 think you're in your thought. 878 00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.880 I appreciate that, Gary. Hopefully i'll know by tomorrow. And 879 00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.719 again I'm not expecting anything overwhelming. I just you know, 880 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:15.559 like I said, I was using an excuse because I 881 00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:18.239 changed my diet and anticipation of that, and diet change 882 00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:20.639 can be great for you. You'll feel better. Just get 883 00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:22.480 the sugar out of your diet as a start, and 884 00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:24.920 I'm telling you you'll have a lot more energy and 885 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:27.119 feel better about yourself. And if you're interested in losing weight, 886 00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:29.320 it'll just kind of fall off on its own. You know, 887 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:33.239 you don't really have to change too much. God bless you, sir, 888 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:40.199 to appreciate that. Anyway, I guess matter, I better get 889 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:43.000 back on the clock. Get the hairy eyeball from Sean McMahon. 890 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:44.760 It doesn't really seem to give give me too much 891 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:47.440 of a hard time for not staying on the clock. Strecker, however, 892 00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:50.599 looking forward to having Joe back. But I enjoy when 893 00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:54.039 Sean covers for him so and it means six thirty 894 00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:56.000 nine on a Wednesday, and a happy one to you. 895 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.360 And Eric thinks Chuck hates the West Side because he 896 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.360 doesn't really do any reporting on the flooding over on 897 00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:08.800 the west side, which I presume still struggling with flooding. 898 00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:12.239 Obviously New Richmond is certainly dealing with it. But you know, 899 00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:15.480 to my friends on the west side, I have no idea. 900 00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:18.079 I don't think he bears any animosity toward the west 901 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.639 side of the city of Cincinnati. He's only got like 902 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:25.119 thirty seconds to get a weather reported. So anyhow, I 903 00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:28.719 hope things settled down soon for everyone. It's been pretty bad, 904 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:35.000 interesting teas and this teas Trump brought it up. It 905 00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.559 was earlier this week or over the weekend, not really material, 906 00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:42.199 but White House Press Secretary Carolyn Lovett brought it up. 907 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.960 I guess again yesterday, and it's got me intrigued, and 908 00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:47.880 it's got a lot of people intrigued. There's a big 909 00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:51.079 buzz going around on the internet about this cryptic statement 910 00:51:51.159 --> 00:51:55.039 hinting at what she and Trump described as a horrible 911 00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:59.519 discovery made by the Department of Governmental Efficiency. So she's 912 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:02.400 doing this US conference yesterday and she said, I can 913 00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:08.480 confirm that's something troubling has come to light. So we're 914 00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:09.920 all sit on the edge of the seat. You know, 915 00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:12.079 I got my popcorn out waiting for the details on that. 916 00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.320 We don't know what it is. She confirmed that the 917 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:19.599 Department of Governmental Efficiency has made a quote massive discovery 918 00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:23.920 close quote, but saying that we would know very soon. 919 00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:26.400 We the American public can know very soon there has 920 00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:29.920 been a discovery. Speaking of reporters, she said, I hate 921 00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:33.360 to leave you hanging on a clip, but I don't 922 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:35.360 want to get ahead of the president on that. But 923 00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:39.119 I can confirm there has been discovery. It's just not 924 00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:40.960 to get ahead of the president on that. But I 925 00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:43.480 can confirm there has been discovery. It's not just quite 926 00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:48.039 ready for release. So it does echo what Donald Trump said. 927 00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:51.840 It was last week that they had the DOGE group 928 00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:55.480 had made a horrible and his word, incredible discovery. They 929 00:52:55.559 --> 00:52:58.880 found something today that's horrible. It's horrible. You'll find out 930 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.840 very soon. And of course, how bad can it be. 931 00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:11.559 We just learned recently the DOGE that uncovered like millions 932 00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:14.880 of illegal immigrants that were granted a SOCIS security number 933 00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:18.079 over the past four years, I mean almost through an 934 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.960 automatic process. That was really frightening. When you read the 935 00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.320 details of how this happened, it's just like, welcome to 936 00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.719 the country, here's your hearing day and here's a form. 937 00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:27.719 Fill it out in that form ultimately led you getting 938 00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:31.519 a socials Security number is basically automatically created and given 939 00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:36.199 to you. One point three million illegal immigrants received Medicaid. 940 00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:39.159 For those leftists out there screaming how the Trump administration 941 00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:41.559 is the one that wants to kill medicaid, you know, 942 00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:43.199 the way you kill medicaid, you put a bunch of 943 00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:44.960 people on Medicaid who aren't eligible for it and who 944 00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.360 will be consuming the benefits that you otherwise might be 945 00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:57.280 might be eligible for, and registered to vote. And it 946 00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:59.679 was determined by Doge and the folks that are looking 947 00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:06.039 into that many of them have voted. That's illegal. Do 948 00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:10.000 you want to uphold the integrity the American elections or 949 00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:12.400 do you want to undermine the integrity of the American elections? 950 00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:15.599 And everybody's screening about Donald Trump saying the election was stolen, like, oh, 951 00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:17.760 he's got no evidence of that, He's got no evidence 952 00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:19.920 of that. Well, they have found that a whole heap 953 00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:24.400 loot of illegal immigrants have voted. Illegal immigrants who are 954 00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:27.480 not eligible to vote. So you know, I don't know 955 00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:30.599 which way they voted. I suppose it's conceivable that they 956 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:35.960 voted for a Republican, it's possible. I think most people presume, 957 00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:39.239 since the Democrats are the one that facilitated the entry 958 00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:42.079 into the country and ignored the immigration laws and allowed 959 00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:45.079 them just come on in. Oh, by the way, here's 960 00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:49.239 your social Security number, that they would if they did 961 00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:54.400 vote vote Democrat. In twenty twenty one, two hundred and 962 00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:57.480 seventy four and twenty five illegal immigrants were issued social 963 00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:02.119 Security numbers. In twenty two, five hundred and ninety thousand 964 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:04.960 plus issued US as security numbers. In twenty twenty three, 965 00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:09.320 nine and sixty four thousand were and in county year 966 00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:11.840 twenty twenty four, notably, the last year of the Biden administration, 967 00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:15.639 two million, ninety five thousand, two hundred and forty seven 968 00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:24.480 illegal immigrants issued US to Security cards. Representative Tim Burchet 969 00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:27.000 he's a Republican at Tennessee. He said that the paper 970 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:31.039 trail revealed by the Department of Governmental Efficiency goes back 971 00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:34.880 to d C. He said, somebody better be let out 972 00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:38.039 of a building in handcuffs. I don't know if we've 973 00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:41.960 got the guts to do it well. I'd like to 974 00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:46.639 think someone will. Does this is this right? Does this 975 00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:48.840 rise to the level of criminal behavior. Is this an 976 00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:56.159 organized attempt to interfere with the American election process? Lots 977 00:55:56.199 --> 00:55:59.519 of questions swirling around in doge is responsible for revealing 978 00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:05.039 it to you Themmerican people, And yet outrage is being 979 00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:09.360 expressed by so many members on the left. Maybe the 980 00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:12.599 jig is up. Maybe this is something that they supported 981 00:56:12.679 --> 00:56:15.039 and and and encourage, and of course the non government 982 00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:19.480 organizations and the George Soros types of the world. Certainly 983 00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:21.679 this sounds like something that they would be full on 984 00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:25.599 in favor of. Talked about the other day with with 985 00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:32.199 Oliver Oliver Lane, the London News correspondent. I don't know 986 00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:33.920 who was able to go to that meeting last night, 987 00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.280 the presentation he did on populism growing in Europe, and 988 00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:39.880 but we did talk about illegal immigration and some of 989 00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:45.320 the you know, the theories and motives behind it, basically eliminating, 990 00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:50.840 eroding and eradicating the cultures that are within any individual country, 991 00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:53.360 sort of homogenizing in a new group of people that 992 00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:57.840 really don't give a wit about say French's history, the 993 00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:01.159 history of France and their culture ideas entity, wanting to 994 00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:07.400 eradicate that so there is no cultural identity. It's really 995 00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:09.920 scary stuff. Mike, I see you are on the phone 996 00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:11.840 with the content or the comment about tariffs. Can't wait 997 00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:13.159 to talk to you, but I do it for break. 998 00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:17.519 It's six forty five right now, six fifty one. If 999 00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:20.599 you have KRCD talk station, if you're having a wonderful Wednesday, 1000 00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:24.119 We're talking to Anson Frereks. He is the former president 1001 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.159 Anheuser Bush the name of his book. And you can 1002 00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:29.320 figure out what this is all about. Last call for 1003 00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:32.719 bud Light Donald Nee Americans for Prospered about event that's 1004 00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:35.599 going on this weekend. And over to the phone's five one, three, seven, four, 1005 00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:37.760 nine fifty eight hundred and eight two to three talk 1006 00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:40.079 pun five fifty on AT and T phone. The one 1007 00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:42.599 hundred and four percent tariffs on China kick in today. 1008 00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:44.800 Mike's on the phone, have a comment about tariffs. Mikes, 1009 00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:46.280 thanks for calling and holding over the break. Good to 1010 00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:48.199 hear from you, Hi. 1011 00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:52.840 Brian once you're a good thing about Tariff's the company 1012 00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:56.440 I work for, I work for a local pharmaceutical company 1013 00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:02.639 and uh, we lost some business on one of our well, 1014 00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:04.719 we just got a big order because the company that 1015 00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:07.199 they put a big order and because they're buying from India. 1016 00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:08.440 While the tariffs are. 1017 00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:10.079 Pushing them back to that. 1018 00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:14.840 So we got a huge order well bank for what 1019 00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:15.360 we lost. 1020 00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:19.400 So there are some bright spots out there in tariff land. 1021 00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:23.119 You know, I hope more and more stories like you're poor, 1022 00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:26.119 yours poor in Mike, because uh, you know, I and 1023 00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:28.960 everybody who knows who's listening to me over the years knows, 1024 00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.239 I'm I'm a pretty good fan of the Wall Street Journal. Man. 1025 00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:34.679 They hate these tariffs. You can't find a positive word 1026 00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:36.760 of the Wall Street Journal about these tariffs as far 1027 00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:38.800 as and white as you might want to search for it. 1028 00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:42.199 But I guess there can be some some bright spots 1029 00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:44.480 in there, and there are some countries stepping up to 1030 00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:48.679 the plate. According to the US Treasury Secretary of about 1031 00:58:48.760 --> 00:58:52.519 seventy countries have already reached out to start negotiating with 1032 00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:54.679 the bidamin or with Oh god, I'm sorry about that 1033 00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:58.920 Freudian slip, but the Trump administration and trying to negotiate 1034 00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:05.760 some better situation with the tariffs. I know the Democrats 1035 00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:08.159 are trying to advance a bill to block Trump from 1036 00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:09.800 doing these tariffs, and that's going to be the subject 1037 00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:11.840 matter of our conversation with Judge and Politana at a 1038 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:15.039 thirty He is going to make a very good legal 1039 00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.679 argument that this is beyond the power of the president 1040 00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:19.880 to impose the tariffs, considering the power of the purse 1041 00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:23.719 lies with Congress, and in his perception, we aren't really 1042 00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:27.320 in an emergency situation. If you recall the fentanyl crisis 1043 00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:29.880 with Canada Mexico led to the twenty five percent tariffs, 1044 00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:32.079 and well, you may be able to call that an emergency. 1045 00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:35.599 We've had trade imbalances since nineteen thirty five, I guess 1046 00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:38.719 with most of these countries, so that it's difficult to 1047 00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:42.159 call that emergency since it's not recent. It has been 1048 00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:44.119 going on for a very long time. We've just been 1049 00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:45.960 sort of playing along with it over the time. So 1050 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:50.519 whether he can use this late nineteen seventies Act to 1051 00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:55.000 justify it emergency emergency Act, well, we're made to be 1052 00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:57.519 seen in. There is something else that'll probably be resolved 1053 00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:00.239 in the courts. But one hundred and four percent on 1054 01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:04.480 Chinese goods, I can't imagine that not having a profound 1055 01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:08.000 ripple effect. But one thing's for sure. I guess the 1056 01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:12.360 European Union loves Kentucky Bourbon. Now they're moving forward plans 1057 01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:14.960 to slap tariffs on a whole bunch of American products. 1058 01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:18.480 But the other day they removed Kentucky bourbon and California 1059 01:00:18.519 --> 01:00:22.400 wine from the list, saying that they will not respond 1060 01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:26.519 to President Trump dollar for dollar. So sadly for the 1061 01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:30.559 folks at Harley Davidson, that's on the list, boats, beef, soybean, 1062 01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:33.679 chewing gum, peanut butter. That's according to documents that have 1063 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.159 been reviewed. Whiskey is on an initial list that the 1064 01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:40.880 U published in March, but was removed after consultations with 1065 01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:44.800 members state countries. What your kids tax? We went our 1066 01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:51.719 Kentucky bourbon, damnit and our California wine. So it's funny 1067 01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:56.800 what matters, isn't it? Addinghow six fifty five afty five 1068 01:00:56.840 --> 01:00:58.599 k City Talks stays. Let's find out what happened to 1069 01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:04.239 Bud Budweiser and i Anson Freerik's former president of Anheuser 1070 01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:06.519 Busch with his new book, Last Call for Bud Light. 1071 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.079 That'll be after the top of the our News. And 1072 01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:10.760 then Donovan and Neil about the weekend event at seven 1073 01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:13.000 thirty for Americans for Prosperity. I sure hope you can 1074 01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:17.280 stick around. I so Cincinnati native Anson Freericks. He has 1075 01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:20.199 a wild background. He's the founder of Athletic Capital and 1076 01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:23.519 co founder of Strive asset Management, but prior to founding Strive, 1077 01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:28.400 he led finance sales and underscore the word marketing operations 1078 01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:32.039 as president of Anheuser Busch Sales and distribution company, and 1079 01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:34.639 he's written a book about it. Last Call for Bud Light, 1080 01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:38.159 The Fall and Future of America's Favorite Anson. It's great 1081 01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:42.000 having you on the show. Thanks having this morning, Brian. Well, 1082 01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:44.239 what a dream job running a brewery and one of 1083 01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:45.880 the biggest in the world. That had to have been 1084 01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:48.800 a good time up until what happened. And how come 1085 01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:50.119 you're not there anymore? Anson? 1086 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:53.000 Yeah, So, Brian, just be clear. 1087 01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:55.480 I left about a year before annazer Bush's partnership with 1088 01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:58.119 Bill mulvaney, so I wasn't there when the partnership happened, 1089 01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:00.159 but I left in part because I saw a lot 1090 01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:02.199 of these problems coming down the pipeline where the company 1091 01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:04.960 really stopped focusing on its customer, knew who its customer was. 1092 01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:06.480 I mean, when I was at Dane has A Bush, 1093 01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:06.920 we tried. 1094 01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.239 To win the Super Bowl ad Meter Award every single year, 1095 01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:12.119 and that was really sort of the gold standard if 1096 01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:13.800 you got if you won this Super Bowl ad Meter award, 1097 01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:14.400 that's when. 1098 01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:15.519 You knew you were hitting the core customer. 1099 01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:18.679 But over time, once the company was bought by kind 1100 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:22.639 of European and Belgian company called InBev, and you had 1101 01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:25.079 a lot of sort of foreign folks from Europe and 1102 01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:28.920 Belgium and in Brazil come to the US and they 1103 01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:31.079 really changed the marketing. They changed the marketing to fit 1104 01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:34.000 more of this diversity equity inclusion standards they're trying to 1105 01:02:34.039 --> 01:02:36.360 win awards over in Europe. That was forcing bud Light 1106 01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:38.440 to not do what bud Light was. So I saw 1107 01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:40.119 the company changing a little bit left. About a year 1108 01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.360 before me and I actually founded a company with vid 1109 01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:45.880 A Ramaswami from Cincinnati as well called Drive to ask 1110 01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:46.480 companies not. 1111 01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:48.679 Get involved in political issues. So it was really a 1112 01:02:48.719 --> 01:02:49.599 collision of two worlds. 1113 01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.360 When my old company, Anne hester Bush did the partnership 1114 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:54.639 with Dylan Malvaaney about two years ago actually this week, 1115 01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:57.360 and then the company we'd started with Strive, who was 1116 01:02:57.360 --> 01:02:58.239 telling companies. 1117 01:02:57.960 --> 01:02:59.320 Not to get involved in these things it was bad 1118 01:02:59.360 --> 01:02:59.840 for business. 1119 01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:03.760 I became sort of the person that was most knowledge 1120 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:05.239 about the topic and kind of what went wrong? 1121 01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:09.239 Were you perhaps an impetus behind the vext book Woke Incorporated? 1122 01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:13.800 You know this was uh, this was this was before 1123 01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:15.880 Vivid wrote the book, right when we were kind of 1124 01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:18.159 starting strives. I think he was the one who wrote 1125 01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:20.440 Wolkes Incorporated. And you know, I wrote this book Last 1126 01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:22.639 Call for bud Life, and hopefully it's sort of the 1127 01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:25.360 last time that companies need to get involved in political 1128 01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:27.800 and social issues and reminds people that, man, the most 1129 01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.400 sustainable thing a business can do is folks on its customers, 1130 01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:32.840 give them great products and services, stay out of all 1131 01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:34.559 the issues that companies have gotten involved in over the 1132 01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:37.199 last couple of years. Whether it's been the transgendered issues, 1133 01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:39.360 whether it's been Roby weight issues, whether it's been voting 1134 01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:40.119 rights issues. 1135 01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:41.000 I mean, you name it. 1136 01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:43.440 You've had so many companies get involved in things that 1137 01:03:43.639 --> 01:03:46.400 really aren't in their mission or their their their core 1138 01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:48.880 kind of customer promise. And that's what's led to a 1139 01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:49.559 lot of the issues. 1140 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:51.639 Whether it's been at Disney, or it's been at Nike, 1141 01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:52.559 or it's been at. 1142 01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:55.239 Starbucks, Ben and Jerry, you name it, there's been so 1143 01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:58.400 many companies that unfortunately have lost millions of customers, you know, 1144 01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:00.960 billions of dollars of value and have had to fire 1145 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:03.400 a lot of employees or have had their suppliers shut 1146 01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:07.519 down solely because they fragmented their customer base by getting 1147 01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:08.400 involved in issues they. 1148 01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:09.199 Shouldn't be well. 1149 01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:12.480 It defies logic and reason that a major corporation like 1150 01:04:12.599 --> 01:04:17.639 Anheuser Busch would engage in actual advocacy along any of 1151 01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:19.880 these lines, because, of course, the world is filled with 1152 01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:21.639 a diverse group of people and that already holds that 1153 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.800 particular ideology that they would be alienating a sizable chunk, 1154 01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:29.400 particularly a beer company, a sizeable chunk of their base. 1155 01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:32.400 It just seems so obvious. How is it that any 1156 01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:37.719 advertising department could just fail to recognize such a simplistic, logical, 1157 01:04:37.840 --> 01:04:41.079 and reasonable concept as that and go the opposite direction. 1158 01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:43.679 I mean, you're right, Brian. 1159 01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:45.320 I mean, you know, most beer drinkers, they just want 1160 01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:48.440 their beer cold and they want it fresh. That's essentially 1161 01:04:48.519 --> 01:04:51.119 the value proposition, even for a brand like butt Light. 1162 01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:54.239 But Light was the biggest beer brand in the US 1163 01:04:54.559 --> 01:04:56.159 because it had this idea that it wanted to be 1164 01:04:56.239 --> 01:04:58.679 easy to drink, easy to enjoy. It was like an 1165 01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:02.599 easy drinking, simple logger, and it was always a humorous, funny, 1166 01:05:02.679 --> 01:05:04.960 kind of kind of beer brand, and really I think 1167 01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:06.920 a lot of the DNA of the company. It changed 1168 01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:09.559 really in the two thousand and eight two thousand and 1169 01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:12.320 nine time period when annezer Busch, which was this historic 1170 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:15.559 US American owned brand and beer company, was bought by InBev, 1171 01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:18.400 which is a game, this European and Belgian company. And 1172 01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:22.159 then also when the company, the Europeans and kind of 1173 01:05:22.239 --> 01:05:26.280 Belgians who bought it, they moved the headquarters of Anezer 1174 01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:28.920 Bush from Saint Louis, Missouri, to New York City. And 1175 01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:31.360 this happened in sort of like the twenty sixteen twenty 1176 01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:34.000 seventeen time period. And at that time, all of a sudden, 1177 01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.559 you're hiring people that just grew up in New York City, 1178 01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:38.599 that only attended New York City schools. They had only 1179 01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:41.079 seen the US through the lens of you know, kind 1180 01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:43.280 of Fifth Avenue, and that's not really who the core 1181 01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:46.119 beer drinker was. And even the lady that was running 1182 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:49.679 bud Light when named Alyssa Heinerschnein, who was doing the 1183 01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:52.320 part who did the partnership with Dylan Malvany. I know 1184 01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:55.159 Alyssa and you know, nice, nice girl. But they grew 1185 01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:57.199 up in New York, went to boarding schools, went to 1186 01:05:57.280 --> 01:05:59.880 Harvard for undergrad went to Wharton and UPenn for bus 1187 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:01.360 in the school. You know, I don't know if you 1188 01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:02.800 never drank a butt light in her life or knew 1189 01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:05.199 who somebody who was. And so that's where the company 1190 01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:08.400 really started going wrong. And then on top of that, 1191 01:06:08.599 --> 01:06:10.679 there was a real sort of push over the last 1192 01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:14.280 five years by this I called this coalition of of 1193 01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:17.920 sort of a DEI and ESG enablers. That was, you 1194 01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:20.880 had large asset managers like black Rock, State Street, Vanguard, 1195 01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:24.000 the Control twenty trillion dollars a capital, largest investors in 1196 01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:27.360 company like Anhezard Bush. They were pushing this esgdi agenda. 1197 01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:30.880 You had large consulting companies like McKenzie and Baine. They 1198 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:33.920 were kind of selling DEI consulting services on how companies 1199 01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:37.000 needed to become more diverse, more equitable, more inclusive. And 1200 01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:40.440 then you had a lot of really activist organizations, especially 1201 01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:43.519 under sort of like the Biden administration, that were going 1202 01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:46.639 to companies, things like the Human Rights Campaign, things like 1203 01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:49.800 other organizations that really pushed sort of aggressive ideologies on 1204 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:53.000 companies and shame them if they didn't if they didn't abide. 1205 01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:55.719 And so therefore you had this sort of you know, 1206 01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:58.519 coalition of actors that were putting a lot of pressure 1207 01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:00.280 on companies and if you have sort of the wrong 1208 01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.679 people at the companies that were running brands, Unfortunately they 1209 01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:07.199 were successful and sell for you know, this progressive agenda 1210 01:07:07.239 --> 01:07:09.320 that just didn't sit with most most Americans. 1211 01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:13.000 Well, so you have basically this echo chamber of liberal 1212 01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.719 voices talking to each other and only listening to each other, 1213 01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:18.639 but failing to appreciate that the underlying motive and reason 1214 01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:21.639 that the business is in business is to generate profit 1215 01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:24.159 and revenue. I mean, they seem to have lost track 1216 01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:26.639 and the focus of what was important is that's serving 1217 01:07:26.760 --> 01:07:30.239 the shareholder's best interest. That's a fiduciary obligation of board 1218 01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.360 of directors owns. And again, you got to step outside 1219 01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.639 of yourself and think even these left wing nutcases that 1220 01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:39.360 haven't heard anything but their own voices have to understand 1221 01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:41.880 that they don't hold the only viewpoint and they might 1222 01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:43.719 want to do a little bit of polling and research 1223 01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:45.320 ahead of time to find out if this is the 1224 01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:47.400 right road to go down, because it may be bad 1225 01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:48.480 for the bottom line. 1226 01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:51.719 Brian, You're you're exactly. 1227 01:07:51.559 --> 01:07:53.960 Right, and that's didn't Unfortunately a lot of these folks 1228 01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:57.840 they didn't do the thinking and they thought, and frankly. 1229 01:07:57.559 --> 01:07:59.800 They got away with it for a number of years 1230 01:07:59.840 --> 01:08:00.440 and there was this. 1231 01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:04.920 More philosophical battle that's been going on for really ten years. 1232 01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:07.199 But what's the purpose of the corporation? You talked about 1233 01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:11.039 Historically businesses that they were in the business to give 1234 01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:13.280 returns to shareholders. That was kind of a Milton Friedman 1235 01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:15.119 view of the world that's been happening since. 1236 01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:15.719 The nineteen seventies. 1237 01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:18.640 Were Milton Friedman, famous economists here in the US wrote 1238 01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:20.960 this article about the social purpose of a business is 1239 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:22.279 to return money to shareholders. 1240 01:08:22.279 --> 01:08:22.760 How did they do that? 1241 01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:25.439 Create great products and services folks in your customer that 1242 01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:28.880 allows you to get to do more innovation, hire more people, 1243 01:08:29.159 --> 01:08:30.359 you know, be involved in your community. 1244 01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:32.560 And there's been this push towards this more this. 1245 01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:37.159 European stakeholder capitalism model, which is that's the Cloud Schwab 1246 01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:40.800 World Economic Forum, this globalist kind of view that says no, no, no, 1247 01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:43.840 businesses need to work with governments and other stakeholders. 1248 01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:45.399 The kind of social engineer policy. 1249 01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:47.880 I reject that view because then you end up with 1250 01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:49.640 what we did over the last couple of years, where 1251 01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:52.119 you had businesses getting involved in all these social and 1252 01:08:52.199 --> 01:08:54.760 political issues that alienated their customer base. That led to 1253 01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:58.560 millions of customers leaving these businesses, thousands of people getting fired, 1254 01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:02.600 and then massive loss is in share market value for companies, 1255 01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:04.439 and that's not sustainable, No, it's not. 1256 01:09:04.640 --> 01:09:07.319 And the demand for beer I don't think went away. 1257 01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:10.079 What this did to bud Light, the most popular beer 1258 01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:12.840 in America at one point, is people said, I'm not 1259 01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:15.159 going to buy that because of this woke crap and 1260 01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:18.199 this you know, this Dylan mulvaney person. I'm going to 1261 01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:20.159 go over and I'm going to sample maybe one of 1262 01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:22.920 the other thousands of beers that exists. And they found 1263 01:09:22.960 --> 01:09:25.720 there were other beers that were maybe even tasted better 1264 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:29.000 that they chose over bud Light. They were longtime bud 1265 01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:31.199 dry Light drinkers, weren't inclined to try something else, so 1266 01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:33.800 this forced them to try another product, and they found out, 1267 01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:36.600 in the world of competition, if you make a better product, 1268 01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:37.399 people will buy it. 1269 01:09:39.119 --> 01:09:39.319 Yeah. 1270 01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:40.920 No, that's exactly it. And I think one of the 1271 01:09:40.960 --> 01:09:42.920 other things that this showed as well. This is one 1272 01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:44.880 of the very first times that there was actually like 1273 01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:47.359 a real consumer boycott of a brand. You know, there's 1274 01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:49.039 been a lot of people that were upset over the 1275 01:09:49.119 --> 01:09:51.159 last five years, maybe the NFL when you had a 1276 01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:55.199 lot of players kneeling, or the NFL was was going down, 1277 01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:57.479 you know, the whole Black Lives Matter movement, which became 1278 01:09:57.560 --> 01:10:00.319 very controversial. But the thing is like if you or 1279 01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:02.159 or you know, when I watch football on Sundays, there's 1280 01:10:02.199 --> 01:10:04.119 no real alternatives in the NFL R. One of the 1281 01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:06.399 reasons is bud light boycott was so successful. There was 1282 01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:07.119 really two reasons. 1283 01:10:07.199 --> 01:10:09.119 One, there's a lot of alternatives to bud Light. 1284 01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:10.880 I mean, everywhere you have bud Light, you have cores Light, 1285 01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:13.000 you have Miller Lite, and they're all in the same 1286 01:10:13.079 --> 01:10:15.079 six packs, are on draft and the same price points. 1287 01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:16.920 It's really easy to pick those up. 1288 01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:20.239 And then secondarily, people were seeing the impact that they 1289 01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:23.279 had because every single week, sales of bud Light are 1290 01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:27.399 reported at retailers like Walmart and Kroger in seven to eleven, 1291 01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:29.920 so every week you were seeing that sales were down 1292 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:33.279 ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent. And then you were 1293 01:10:33.279 --> 01:10:35.439 seeing all these pictures on social media nobody being in 1294 01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:36.199 the bud Light line. 1295 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:36.640 And you know. 1296 01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:39.520 Cincinnati reds Gate or a Bengals games, they're off the cores. 1297 01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:41.479 Lightlines for It's start. Now you're at the point where. 1298 01:10:41.319 --> 01:10:42.840 Bud Light sales, I mean they've been down. 1299 01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:45.760 They're down fifty percent from where they were two years ago, 1300 01:10:46.079 --> 01:10:47.920 which is absolutely crazy to think about. 1301 01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:49.760 You see a brand implode like that. 1302 01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:52.439 Last call for bud Light to fall and future of 1303 01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:56.199 America's favorite beer. Speaking of the last component of the subtitle, 1304 01:10:56.760 --> 01:10:59.319 is there a way for them to rehabilitate? Can bud 1305 01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:01.520 Light ever capture that top spot? 1306 01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:05.079 You know, I don't think into the current leadership that 1307 01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:07.159 they can. They had multiple chances to go to their 1308 01:11:07.199 --> 01:11:09.520 loyal consumer base say hey, we screwed up. We never 1309 01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:11.640 said but like get involved in these like in these 1310 01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:14.199 political and social issues. And so I think the current 1311 01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:16.880 the current group which is again is a Belgian owned company, 1312 01:11:17.159 --> 01:11:19.760 and they have US leadership that hasn't been able to apologize. 1313 01:11:19.960 --> 01:11:21.520 I think what they actually do is they actually need 1314 01:11:21.560 --> 01:11:23.119 to sell the US business. I think they need to 1315 01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:25.640 sell that US business back to a group like I 1316 01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:28.600 don't call it Warren Buffett or Berkshire Hathaway or who knows, 1317 01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:30.439 maybe the Bush family, And I think you need to 1318 01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:33.039 have real leadership come back in for the for you know, 1319 01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:35.680 the American population, they're actually pretty forgiving, and I think 1320 01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:37.239 if you just went to them and said, you know, 1321 01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:39.439 I always say that the path that forgiveness goes to redemption. 1322 01:11:39.720 --> 01:11:41.319 You're never going to be redeem unless you admit there 1323 01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:43.039 was an air. And nobody has admitted there's an air. 1324 01:11:43.279 --> 01:11:44.960 So you have to have a strong leadership team come 1325 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:47.159 back in say hey, we screwed up. There's a new 1326 01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:49.840 ownership in place for American owned once again. We're going 1327 01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:53.359 to earn your trusts back by being just this funny, humorous, 1328 01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:56.640 great tasting logger that you can enjoy at barbecues and 1329 01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:58.680 sports and music festivals. 1330 01:11:58.720 --> 01:11:59.399 And that's what we want to do it. 1331 01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:01.640 I think the actually can get back to that, but 1332 01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:03.479 it's not going to be into the cournembership group. 1333 01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:06.800 It's been fabulous talking with you, Anson Ferreks. He is 1334 01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:09.319 again since a resident author of the book we're talking 1335 01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:11.479 about today, Last Call for bud Light, The Fall and 1336 01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:14.319 Future of America's Beer, A favorite beer answering your books 1337 01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:16.119 on my blog page fifty five carsite dot com with 1338 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:17.880 the link where people can easily get a copy of it, 1339 01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:21.399 and I'm sure they will fascinating conversation and interesting analysis 1340 01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:24.840 of really bad decisions in the wrong direction. You have 1341 01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:26.840 a wonderful day. So it's been a real pleasure having 1342 01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:29.119 you on the program. So sixteen here fifty five car 1343 01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:31.359 Seed Talk Station. Got a few minutes to talk if 1344 01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:35.000 you want to give me a quali five one, three, seven, seven, 1345 01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:37.800 twenty one On a Wednesday, Americans for Prosperity Donovan and 1346 01:12:37.840 --> 01:12:40.039 Neil Bottom of the Arrow got a text day event 1347 01:12:40.199 --> 01:12:42.119 coming up in the weekend. He's going to tell us 1348 01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:45.399 all about that in the absence of phone calls news 1349 01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:49.359 that's overshadowed by the tariff news and all the wailing 1350 01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:51.520 and gnashing and teeth over that. I guess today's today, 1351 01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:56.960 when the China levies take effect pretty substantial, they are 1352 01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:01.439 sit back. I can wait to see how that gets 1353 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:06.000 well reckoned with. But over so, I got a lot 1354 01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:08.399 of Second Amendment friends out of the audience. Undoing a 1355 01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:11.760 major avenue of Biden administration's aggression against gun dealers, the 1356 01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:15.560 Department of Justice and Alcohol to back on firearms. Yesterday 1357 01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:21.800 announced they terminated the Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy aka 1358 01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:25.720 the Zero Tolerance Policy. Gun Owners of America reporting on 1359 01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:30.560 this first introduced under the Biden administration, the policy aggressively 1360 01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:35.319 targeted gun dealers for minor paperwork errors, which of course 1361 01:13:35.359 --> 01:13:39.640 created fear and uncertainty across the firearms community. Set Up 1362 01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:42.520 by the Biden administration, the zero Tolerance policy one of 1363 01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.119 a Yank firearm dealer's license if they were found to 1364 01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:48.720 have made any number of infractions, including minor ones, of course, 1365 01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:52.600 setting them up for litigation and extreme costs. Critics said, 1366 01:13:52.600 --> 01:13:54.479 of course it was a pretext for reducing the number 1367 01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:59.079 of firearms dealers. National Shooting Sports Foundation praising this eradication, 1368 01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:02.800 this wreck cliss policy throttled small businesses and drove minute 1369 01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:06.680 to shut down by threatening crippling administrative costs to fight 1370 01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:10.399 against penalties for minor errors and infractions that were previously 1371 01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:13.960 reconciled in good faith between the ATF officials and law 1372 01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:18.640 abiding firearms retailers. Of course, you get condemnation from the 1373 01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:24.399 gun control advocates, which you might expect. Gunners of America 1374 01:14:24.520 --> 01:14:29.199 also announced that two other deregulatory moves are coming soon. 1375 01:14:29.359 --> 01:14:32.760 The first would kill the Biden era ban on pistol braces. 1376 01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:36.960 Now that's been held unconstitutional or illegal by the Eighth 1377 01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:40.560 Circuit Court of Appeals. So if you have a pistol 1378 01:14:40.600 --> 01:14:42.760 with a brace on it, you should be okay right now. 1379 01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:47.920 But they're supposed to well get rid of the regulation 1380 01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:53.079 that was randomly and arbitrarily put in place. Biden famously 1381 01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:57.920 and ignorantly famous for saying putting a pistol on a 1382 01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:03.359 brace turns it in into a gun. Contemplate that for 1383 01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:06.199 a minute. He also claimed it allowed it to shoot 1384 01:15:06.239 --> 01:15:10.039 a higher caliber bullet. So, in Biden's mind, such as 1385 01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:14.239 it was, and as we've learned, in a rapidly declining state, 1386 01:15:14.960 --> 01:15:17.680 felt that by placing a pistol brace on a previously 1387 01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:20.439 existing caliber firearm would allow it to shoot a higher 1388 01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:27.840 caliber bullet. Okay, a Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled 1389 01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:30.000 the pistol brace will allow the ATF to arrive at 1390 01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:33.640 whatever conclusion it wishes about the ad about adequately explaining 1391 01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:36.680 the standard on which a decision was based. They had 1392 01:15:36.760 --> 01:15:39.560 for years said pistol braces were not a problem. They 1393 01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:41.640 said they were fine, and there was nothing wrong with them, 1394 01:15:41.720 --> 01:15:44.039 only to magically change their mind in a moment's time 1395 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.279 and then turn everybody that owned one basically into a felon. 1396 01:15:48.800 --> 01:15:51.039 Another rule that they may repeal, the one requiring a 1397 01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:56.000 background check on private gun sales. So if you wanted 1398 01:15:56.039 --> 01:15:58.640 to sell your firearm to your next door neighbor, that would, 1399 01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:02.319 under the Biden administration proposal required an FFL background check. 1400 01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:05.800 So that rule looks like it's on its last legs 1401 01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:09.560 as well. So some positive progress as we have a 1402 01:16:09.680 --> 01:16:13.159 new administration with new attitudes towards the Second Amendment. Pete, 1403 01:16:13.239 --> 01:16:15.640 welcome to the Morning Show and a very happy Wednesday 1404 01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:16.520 to you. Thanks for calling. 1405 01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:21.239 Thanks Brian. It seems like the whole world is against 1406 01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:25.279 Trump's pariffs, and yet they don't seem to be against 1407 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:29.119 all the tariffs that have been levied on us. They 1408 01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:31.760 keep referring to as Trump's starting a trade war. 1409 01:16:31.840 --> 01:16:33.880 Well, we've been the victim of. 1410 01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:37.039 A trade war for decades, and that trade war we 1411 01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:42.239 have almost a trillion dollar trade deficit now. And how 1412 01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:45.640 long do they think that they can keep draining a 1413 01:16:45.720 --> 01:16:49.600 trillion dollars worth of wealth from our country year after 1414 01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:53.840 year on top of a thirty six trillion dollar dead 1415 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:56.920 that we're having to pay interest on and let that 1416 01:16:57.119 --> 01:16:57.680 keep going. 1417 01:16:58.159 --> 01:17:00.920 Well as long as they as long as they they starting. 1418 01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.920 A war, he's just fighting back for a war that's 1419 01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:05.159 been levied against us. 1420 01:17:05.479 --> 01:17:07.960 Well, Trump is willing to suffer the slings and arrows 1421 01:17:08.000 --> 01:17:10.159 that he's going to suffer for a while until this 1422 01:17:10.319 --> 01:17:13.239 gets resolved and we're going to all have the reality 1423 01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:17.359 of probably increased prices. But so far, seventy countries have 1424 01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:20.159 now stepped up to the playble table and expressed interest 1425 01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:24.199 in resolving this amicably, and it may very well be 1426 01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:27.000 resolved amicably among them me the most of them. China, 1427 01:17:27.039 --> 01:17:29.720 however's gone the other direction, which is why we now 1428 01:17:29.800 --> 01:17:34.720 have this massive and four percent tarify on Chinese goods. 1429 01:17:35.039 --> 01:17:37.079 How that's going to sit with the American people remains 1430 01:17:37.079 --> 01:17:40.960 to be seen. We've gotten very use to buying very 1431 01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:44.600 inexpensive Chinese made products and China has been the obvious 1432 01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:48.199 beneficiary of that. That again, China doesn't have wrecked radical 1433 01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:53.800 crazy EPA rules regulations, ocean regulations, pollution regulations, which allows 1434 01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:56.199 manufacturing to be set up a lot cheaper there and 1435 01:17:56.199 --> 01:17:58.920 allows profits to go through the roof. That's why Wall 1436 01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:02.319 Street doesn't like because they're big companies, built factories there 1437 01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:05.319 and have been benefiting from cheap labor and low regulatory 1438 01:18:05.399 --> 01:18:08.199 standards for years and years, allowing them to sell their 1439 01:18:08.199 --> 01:18:10.840 products here in America for less than had they manufactured 1440 01:18:10.880 --> 01:18:13.880 them here. Fewer people probably would have bought American made 1441 01:18:13.920 --> 01:18:16.199 products if they had to be made at American level 1442 01:18:16.840 --> 01:18:20.840 financial obligations, you know, in other words, we've got to 1443 01:18:21.319 --> 01:18:25.119 We've not. We've got all these rules, regulations and burdens 1444 01:18:25.119 --> 01:18:27.560 placed on it, and then you throw climate change on 1445 01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:30.439 top of us, which causes the increase in electricity prices. 1446 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:33.439 It's going to be a lot more expensive. So we 1447 01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:36.359 haven't been manufacturing electronics in this country since hell the 1448 01:18:36.479 --> 01:18:39.319 eighties when Japan took over and then it all moved 1449 01:18:39.359 --> 01:18:41.920 to China. So yeah, it's going to take a while 1450 01:18:41.960 --> 01:18:43.520 to work out. There is going to be some pain. 1451 01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:46.560 But you know what, Donald Trump's essentially a lame duck president. 1452 01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:49.720 He ain't gonna be around anymore after this term. I 1453 01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:51.960 know some people think he's eligible for a third term. 1454 01:18:52.079 --> 01:18:54.600 I don't fall into that category. But he's willing to 1455 01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:58.880 do it, and he campaigned on this. He told everybody 1456 01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:01.800 in the world million times in the campaign trail. This 1457 01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:03.920 is exactly what he was going to do, so it 1458 01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:07.239 shouldn't come as a shock to anybody. You voted for 1459 01:19:07.359 --> 01:19:09.520 him for a strong border, Yeah, you voted for him 1460 01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:11.720 for it, filling the blank reasons. Yeah, But he also, 1461 01:19:12.119 --> 01:19:14.119 whether you liked it or not, voted for him because 1462 01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:16.800 he was promising to impose tariffs on other countries. That 1463 01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:20.520 came along with a full package. So we'll ride it out. 1464 01:19:21.720 --> 01:19:24.079 I think we'll come out the other side, okay. And 1465 01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:26.960 if not, I suppose he can just pull the plug 1466 01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.520 on the tariffs anytime he wants, or it'll be resolved 1467 01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:31.920 in the courts. And there's already legislation to prevent Trump 1468 01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:34.520 from engaging in this, whether or not Congress passes something 1469 01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:38.520 like that, which would still be subject to write a 1470 01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:44.279 Trump veto. So even if they passed legislation trying to 1471 01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:46.880 stop him, I think the courts ultimately will make the 1472 01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:49.840 final determination of whether this is lawful. Under the currently 1473 01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:55.119 existing authorization, he has to engage in tariffs under emergency circumstances. 1474 01:19:56.039 --> 01:20:01.199 Seven two Happy Wednesday to you, Judge Eden of Balaton. 1475 01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:06.319 One hour on tariffs and the legality of tariffs, at 1476 01:20:06.399 --> 01:20:08.720 least the way Donald Trump's doing it should be rather interesting. 1477 01:20:09.079 --> 01:20:11.359 Prior to that, it's the best one two punch in 1478 01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:14.119 radio with Congressman Thomas Messey joining us to talk about 1479 01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:18.000 the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act as well as the country 1480 01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:21.520 of origin labeling. Can we get that back and maybe 1481 01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:23.199 we'll get a comment or two on tariffs from him 1482 01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:25.039 in the meantime. Welcome back to the fifty five Kssey 1483 01:20:25.079 --> 01:20:28.640 Morning Show from Americans for Prosperity, Donovan and Neil. Great 1484 01:20:28.680 --> 01:20:32.199 to have you on, Brian, always good to be with you. 1485 01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:36.560 So we got a big event coming up on Palm Sunday. 1486 01:20:38.039 --> 01:20:42.439 That's right, we sure do. It's a fiscal sanity rally, 1487 01:20:42.960 --> 01:20:43.840 something I think. 1488 01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:46.239 Our country is in dire need of, you know, Just 1489 01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:48.079 let me get your reaction real quick before we talk 1490 01:20:48.079 --> 01:20:50.800 about the details on that. He saw all the insanity 1491 01:20:50.840 --> 01:20:52.920 going on over the weekend. Did you watch any of 1492 01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:55.640 the videos of the people at these crazy rallies being 1493 01:20:55.680 --> 01:20:59.680 interviewed and asked exactly what their problem was with Elon 1494 01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:01.960 munt Us, the work that Doge is doing, or Donald 1495 01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:04.640 Trump generally. I mean, did you come across with any 1496 01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:07.640 clear idea of what the hell they're talking about or 1497 01:21:07.800 --> 01:21:09.560 protesting about Donovan. 1498 01:21:11.119 --> 01:21:15.479 Well, you know, one one no, And I think this is. 1499 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:18.159 I'm trying to wind up for something. 1500 01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:18.359 There. 1501 01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:19.920 No, there's not It's not really clear. 1502 01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:22.039 And you know, here's something I think is important to 1503 01:21:22.119 --> 01:21:23.960 keep in mind, right, especially as you look at different 1504 01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:27.760 election results that just came in. There definitely is a 1505 01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:31.640 number of folks out there who are who are frustrated, 1506 01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:34.399 who are upset or angry. But I think here's what's 1507 01:21:34.439 --> 01:21:36.760 key is they don't know why they are. They're just 1508 01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:41.640 being told from progressive organizations that they should be upset 1509 01:21:41.680 --> 01:21:44.079 with what's going on. I think what we've got to 1510 01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:46.640 make sure we're doing, Brian Ryan, and you're a great 1511 01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:50.159 megaphone for this in Southwest Ohio, is connects folks to 1512 01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:53.600 the importance of what doge, what the president, what the 1513 01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:56.079 new Republican majority in Washington are getting done right. They're 1514 01:21:56.079 --> 01:21:59.279 reigning and the spending, they're working to create policies they 1515 01:21:59.279 --> 01:22:02.159 are going to promote money in people's pockets and unleash 1516 01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:04.279 opportunity here in the United States. 1517 01:22:04.319 --> 01:22:06.640 And so I think that the best way to combat 1518 01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:09.840 that that nonsensical. 1519 01:22:09.279 --> 01:22:11.960 Frustration that some folks seem to be having out there 1520 01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:15.119 is connected to what these positive impacts are, because I 1521 01:22:15.119 --> 01:22:18.159 can tell you sure, it's like they don't have a 1522 01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:20.279 clear vision for the future of this country. And that's 1523 01:22:20.520 --> 01:22:23.720 that's key as well. But I let're make sure we're 1524 01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:26.560 staying out there and staying on message, because they got 1525 01:22:26.600 --> 01:22:29.119 a lot of visibility over the weekend, but when you 1526 01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.439 scratch beneath the surface, it really ain't that great. 1527 01:22:31.479 --> 01:22:33.960 Well, And I think the visibility didn't do a much 1528 01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:37.560 given much credibility because you know, I heard over and 1529 01:22:37.760 --> 01:22:40.279 over again one of the main criticisms on their pre 1530 01:22:40.439 --> 01:22:43.119 printed list of talking points, which didn't provide any really 1531 01:22:43.199 --> 01:22:47.119 fundamental explanation for why they were screaming about medicaid. For example, 1532 01:22:47.600 --> 01:22:49.479 you know you're going to take medicaid away from me. 1533 01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:52.199 They're taking Medicaid away. I mean, my retort has been 1534 01:22:52.279 --> 01:22:54.800 over and over. No, look at what dog is uncovered. 1535 01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:57.520 One point three million illegal immigrants got put in the 1536 01:22:57.560 --> 01:23:01.000 Medicaid rolls, and there's countless bill millions of dollars in 1537 01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:03.960 fraud in the Medicaid system, which DOGE is revealed. To 1538 01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:06.520 the extent you get rid of that illegal activity and 1539 01:23:06.600 --> 01:23:09.920 those fraudulent or erroneous payments. You are going a long 1540 01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:14.399 way to saving the program. I mean, doge in the 1541 01:23:14.600 --> 01:23:17.760 administration is doing the exact opposite of what they're accusing 1542 01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:20.239 them of, which frustrates the living hell out of me 1543 01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:26.039 that they're so clueless that they don't realize that we 1544 01:23:26.439 --> 01:23:27.560 all pay taxes, right. 1545 01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:30.319 We all should expect that the tax dollars that go 1546 01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:32.880 to Washington DC are hard earned. Money that goes to 1547 01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:36.560 Washington DC is going to be spent well and spent efficiently. 1548 01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:39.560 Right nobody's talking about ending these programs. Nobody's talking about 1549 01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:43.279 cutting these programs. We're talking about making these programs run 1550 01:23:43.359 --> 01:23:47.399 more efficiently so that the population that depends on them, 1551 01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:50.359 our neighbors and friends who depend on these programs, have 1552 01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:51.239 the ability. 1553 01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:51.600 To access to them. 1554 01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:53.680 We can talk about whether these programs should exist in 1555 01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:55.560 the first place in the time. Right now, we're just 1556 01:23:55.640 --> 01:23:58.479 talking about making sure these programs are run efficiently. And 1557 01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:02.800 I think that's something every tax paying American citizen should applaud. 1558 01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:07.079 Finally happening for the first time in ages in Washington DC. 1559 01:24:07.359 --> 01:24:11.800 Yeah, approaching government the way private businesses would approach it. 1560 01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:14.760 We've got too many of these departments we've got too 1561 01:24:14.840 --> 01:24:17.840 much middle management. It's costing the shareholders a lot of money. 1562 01:24:17.880 --> 01:24:20.199 We can run a more efficient operation, provide the same, 1563 01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:23.800 if not better goods and services with less, and let's 1564 01:24:23.800 --> 01:24:26.199 allocate the money to better products and goods and services. 1565 01:24:26.479 --> 01:24:28.760 That is how a successful business runs. And of course 1566 01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:30.920 we all know that is not how government runs. And 1567 01:24:31.640 --> 01:24:33.880 this administration, at least for the seeming the first time 1568 01:24:33.920 --> 01:24:36.920 in my lifetime, is revealing that and doing something about it. 1569 01:24:37.159 --> 01:24:38.439 I know you've got the big event coming up on 1570 01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:40.319 Sunday you want to talk about that. We'll bring Donovan 1571 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:43.039 and Neil for Americans for Prosperity back working with Restoring 1572 01:24:43.119 --> 01:24:45.960 Liberty dot Us.

And I'll be honest with you. George Brunneman 1629 01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:22.119 from Restore Liberty dot Us did invite me and we're 1630 01:27:22.159 --> 01:27:24.800 having a Palm Sunday meal at my mom's that was 1631 01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:27.840 already on the calendar and family comes first, So sadly 1632 01:27:27.880 --> 01:27:29.560 I will not be able to make it, but I 1633 01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:32.640 know it's going to be an extraordinary event. Any special 1634 01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:35.079 speaker is going to be there, beyond maybe you and 1635 01:27:35.239 --> 01:27:36.159 George and others. 1636 01:27:37.520 --> 01:27:39.600 Well, they're putting together a number of locals. I don't 1637 01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:41.600 think they fully released the list yet, at least they 1638 01:27:41.600 --> 01:27:44.600 haven't given it to me yet, but I would say register, 1639 01:27:44.840 --> 01:27:45.760 you'll get updates. 1640 01:27:45.880 --> 01:27:46.880 We're expecting a. 1641 01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:50.960 Packed house, a good crowd, a great program, and if 1642 01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:53.960 you care about fiscal sanity, if you want to get 1643 01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:56.199 in the fight and help push back against some of 1644 01:27:56.239 --> 01:27:59.439 the craziness that you saw over the weekend around the country, 1645 01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:00.319 this is the. 1646 01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:00.760 Place to be. 1647 01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:02.760 We're going to be We're gonna be talking fiscal sanity, 1648 01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:05.279 we're gonna be talking making the Trump tax cuts permanent, 1649 01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:07.239 and this is the kind of stuff we need to 1650 01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:09.680 be doing, follow through on from the votes we cast 1651 01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:10.439 last November. 1652 01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:12.520 Well, and of course that's going to require engagement from 1653 01:28:12.560 --> 01:28:15.000 my listeners and getting in touch with their elected officials. 1654 01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:18.920 Any reaction on what's going on in d C with 1655 01:28:19.039 --> 01:28:21.359 the you know, the whole process with the reconciliation and 1656 01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:24.359 the Senate came out with a proposal and the Republicans 1657 01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:26.880 are now struggling with that and maybe some holdouts. Do 1658 01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:30.560 you do you have any insight or thoughts about that 1659 01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:34.159 process that's going on right now, Donovan, Well, so. 1660 01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:36.039 We've always known it was going to be a tenuous situation, 1661 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.560 right when you bring Congress is famous for one thing, 1662 01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:42.079 failing to follow through on what it says it's going 1663 01:28:42.159 --> 01:28:44.119 to do, right, and so we knew there's going to 1664 01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:46.920 be a tenuous situation here. Well, I think you know 1665 01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:50.640 the House is done, it's vote. Senate, it's done, it's vote. 1666 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:53.720 It's a long winding road to work through this convoluted 1667 01:28:53.760 --> 01:28:57.279 reconciliation process Congress, and BASSI can give you we'll definitely 1668 01:28:57.279 --> 01:28:58.600 be able to give you a better insight than I 1669 01:28:58.680 --> 01:29:01.520 can there. But I think we key is everything's moving 1670 01:29:01.560 --> 01:29:04.319 along as needed. With a number of our staff at 1671 01:29:04.359 --> 01:29:07.359 an annual retreat and some of our federal government affairs fos. 1672 01:29:07.359 --> 01:29:08.880 For folks who lobby on the Hill, what they've been 1673 01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:12.239 saying is this is actually moving along a bit faster 1674 01:29:12.399 --> 01:29:14.199 than folks were expecting. And so I think that's a 1675 01:29:14.239 --> 01:29:17.680 good sign. The grassroots pressure is key here right continuing 1676 01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:21.279 to send the message to Washington, to your elected officials, 1677 01:29:21.960 --> 01:29:24.239 this is what we sent you there to do, to 1678 01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:27.960 unleash energy abundance, to secure and front our border, and 1679 01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:33.199 most importantly, unleash prosperity by making permanent the Trump tax cuts, 1680 01:29:33.399 --> 01:29:35.600 the one big beautiful bill of Senate got done, you know, 1681 01:29:35.800 --> 01:29:37.399 started to have a vote procedural vote. 1682 01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:39.920 On over the weekend. Move that ball down the line. 1683 01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:43.640 Gets that much closer to President Trump's desk. And ultimately 1684 01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:48.279 what's important is relief, much needed relief for Americans who 1685 01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:50.760 have experienced four years of Bidenomics and are ready for 1686 01:29:50.920 --> 01:29:51.399 that to end. 1687 01:29:51.560 --> 01:29:53.600 Well, and I'll tell you what one thing that you 1688 01:29:53.720 --> 01:29:56.319 hit on energy policy. If we could get some sanity 1689 01:29:56.439 --> 01:29:59.359 and not only restore liberty, but restore sanity, to our 1690 01:29:59.479 --> 01:30:02.399 energy policy. I know Trump's embraced this all the above approach, 1691 01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:07.520 even talking about bringing back coal, But abundant and inexpensive 1692 01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:11.680 energy is really what drives growth in the economy. You know, 1693 01:30:11.720 --> 01:30:13.520 if it doesn't cost as much to run a factory, 1694 01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:15.520 it doesn't cost as much to you know, heat and 1695 01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:18.640 air conditioning your house. That frees up money which otherwise 1696 01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.000 can go to the economic engine of this country. And 1697 01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:24.039 we have stood in the way of energy policy for 1698 01:30:24.199 --> 01:30:27.520 so long under this climate change crap. And my favorite 1699 01:30:27.760 --> 01:30:30.199 favorite point on that is just standing in the way 1700 01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:34.439 of pursuing modular nuclear technology, which is you know, it's efficient, 1701 01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:38.159 it's small footprint, it generates just infinite amounts of energy. 1702 01:30:39.479 --> 01:30:42.960 And there's so many of these environmental alarmists standing the 1703 01:30:43.000 --> 01:30:45.680 way of nuclear keeps screaming about three mile Island in 1704 01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:48.439 Cherniobil as if the technology is the same as it 1705 01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:51.800 was in the nineteen seventies. No it's not. I mean, 1706 01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:55.520 we've got the answer to their concerns about carbon dioxide 1707 01:30:55.600 --> 01:30:59.199 aka tree food, and it exists now and we could 1708 01:30:59.239 --> 01:31:01.920 have it but for all of these people standing in 1709 01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:04.560 the way with their regulations, rules and screaming about it 1710 01:31:04.600 --> 01:31:06.560 and I don't know what they're screaming about in terms 1711 01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:08.039 of that it's the answer to our problems. 1712 01:31:09.399 --> 01:31:12.960 Well, yeah, who was against cheap abundant energy, right, and 1713 01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:15.760 I think that modular nuclear is the right thing. You know, 1714 01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:20.239 in Columbus, they're working on energy legislation. Here in Ohio, 1715 01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:21.359 we're going to have once this. 1716 01:31:21.479 --> 01:31:23.640 Legislation gets to the governor's desk. 1717 01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:28.039 The goal here is to get site approved within forty 1718 01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:31.079 five days. So if you've got an energy generation site 1719 01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:33.119 you want to build in the state of Ohio, the 1720 01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:35.279 state of Ohio on its end of the approval process, 1721 01:31:35.319 --> 01:31:37.760 we'll get that done in forty five days. The bet 1722 01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:39.960 there is to put more pressure on the federal government. 1723 01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:42.720 And we've got a lot of allies at that level now, right, 1724 01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:44.960 But yeah, put that pressure on the federal government to 1725 01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:47.119 get these products, to fix the EPA, to fix its 1726 01:31:47.159 --> 01:31:51.159 federal permitting processes so we can get energy generated, bring 1727 01:31:51.319 --> 01:31:53.960 down that cost for Americans. And that's a big key 1728 01:31:54.039 --> 01:31:56.760 part of manufacturing too, right, right, how to have abundant 1729 01:31:56.920 --> 01:32:00.560 affordable energy to make manufacturing makes sense into the United 1730 01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:04.039 States again, and so across the board, consumers to manufacturers 1731 01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:07.039 to business, it all matters. Energy is at the. 1732 01:32:07.039 --> 01:32:09.600 Heart of it all. It certainly is. And I had 1733 01:32:09.640 --> 01:32:11.720 a conversation on the Morning show the other day with 1734 01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:15.319 vivig Ramaswami, and I mean, he is on board with 1735 01:32:15.399 --> 01:32:17.720 everything you've been talking about this morning, so he sounds 1736 01:32:17.760 --> 01:32:20.039 like the right man for the job. He's all in 1737 01:32:20.119 --> 01:32:22.279 favor of lowering taxes, in fact, hopefully getting rid of 1738 01:32:22.319 --> 01:32:25.199 income taxes in the state of Ohio to level the 1739 01:32:25.239 --> 01:32:27.920 playing field with those other states are the biggest draws 1740 01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:29.960 for business and industry, the ones that don't have any 1741 01:32:30.239 --> 01:32:31.119 income tax. 1742 01:32:32.439 --> 01:32:33.560 It warms my heart. 1743 01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:36.680 Brand here folks, this early in the process talking about 1744 01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:38.520 the future Ohio in such a way right where we're 1745 01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:40.960 going to yes, well that the conversation isn't about how 1746 01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:42.720 much we're going to grow government the state of Ohio. 1747 01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:45.640 The conversation looking at twenty twenty six is about what 1748 01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:47.359 are we going to cut, what are we going to change, 1749 01:32:47.359 --> 01:32:49.640 what are we going to do to transform Ohio to 1750 01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:53.159 be the economic engine not just the Midwest, but of 1751 01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:55.800 the country and most importantly moved from middle in the 1752 01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:58.079 Midwest to number one in the nation. These big bold 1753 01:32:58.159 --> 01:33:01.319 ideas that folks are talking about, I think and we 1754 01:33:01.520 --> 01:33:03.079 like it at AFP. We like the fact that folks 1755 01:33:03.119 --> 01:33:05.000 are talking about elimiting the income text because that's what 1756 01:33:05.079 --> 01:33:07.840 we think is going to take to really put Ohio 1757 01:33:07.960 --> 01:33:10.119 on the map and make folks look here. 1758 01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:12.720 To site their projects.

Thanks, Brian, Take care of my brother 1773 01:33:57.479 --> 01:34:04.800 seven forty nine fifty five KCD talk if I have 1774 01:34:04.960 --> 01:34:07.720 kersee the talk station just got a I guess the 1775 01:34:07.760 --> 01:34:11.000 new campaign and for Corey Bowman westside Jim Keefer's sentence, 1776 01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:12.640 so I asked him how that event went last night, 1777 01:34:13.079 --> 01:34:16.079 said Gray say really worked the crowd, common sense, got 1778 01:34:16.119 --> 01:34:20.159 some laughter, went Overwhell and he said hyde Park after 1779 01:34:22.760 --> 01:34:25.640 high Park after first was cold, but he spoke one 1780 01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:27.960 half came up to him and thanked him for running. 1781 01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:31.079 We've been kind of speculating on the possibility that my 1782 01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:34.640 friends in Hyde Park, sometimes often leaning very blue, might 1783 01:34:34.760 --> 01:34:37.960 cot into a Corey Bowman mayor because he's not going 1784 01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:42.000 to shove zoning regulations down your throat. He's not a 1785 01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:44.840 fan of connected communities because it deprives local communities of 1786 01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:49.479 their options as their residents see fit in terms of development. 1787 01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:53.399 So and I embrace his philosophy along those lines. A 1788 01:34:53.439 --> 01:34:56.359 little more free market, you know, a little mess dictatorial, 1789 01:34:57.319 --> 01:35:00.119 a little less you know, like Agenda twenty one and 1790 01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:04.600 planning type stuff. So anyway, keep my fingers crossed for 1791 01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:07.479 Cordy's success and looking forward to having on the program 1792 01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:10.039 my favorite one two punch on the fifty five Carsey 1793 01:35:10.039 --> 01:35:13.399 Morning Show, Congressman Thomas Massey followed by Judge Editor Politano, 1794 01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:15.640 and then we get an extra special add on doctor 1795 01:35:15.720 --> 01:35:19.399 j Rissover making America healthy. He's all about that. He's 1796 01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:21.880 doing an empower youth seminar tomorrow evening. We'll get some 1797 01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:23.960 details on that at eight forty five. I hope he 1798 01:35:24.000 --> 01:35:28.279 can stick around. We'll be right back covering Trump's first 1799 01:35:28.399 --> 01:35:29.279 one hundred days. 1800 01:35:29.479 --> 01:35:33.119 Every day America's Deadline is over. 1801 01:35:33.399 --> 01:35:37.720 Fifty five KRC being talk station. This report days sponsored 1802 01:35:39.880 --> 01:35:42.399 the shiveto five and fifty five kr CV Talk Station. 1803 01:35:42.520 --> 01:35:46.199 A very happy Wednesday, extra special Wednesday, And of course 1804 01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:48.199 I always call my favorite hour radio here on the 1805 01:35:48.199 --> 01:35:49.960 fifty five Garsey Morning Show when we get to here 1806 01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:52.920 from Congressman Massy, followed by Judge Editor Politana, who may 1807 01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:56.359 be very well be listening. Welcome back, Congressman Massy. Always 1808 01:35:56.359 --> 01:35:59.399 a distinct pleasure to have you on my program. Great 1809 01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:01.800 to be on your show again, Brian, don't know where 1810 01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:03.439 to start. I want to start with Terris, but I 1811 01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:05.079 know we got other things to talk about, So let's 1812 01:36:05.079 --> 01:36:07.079 start with and you can explain to my listeners the 1813 01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:10.359 Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act, which I know was on your 1814 01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:11.119 short list today. 1815 01:36:12.439 --> 01:36:17.239 Sure, so this is a bill I introduced just last week, 1816 01:36:17.800 --> 01:36:20.000 and it says that when you file to run for 1817 01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:23.039 a federal office, if you are a citizen of another 1818 01:36:23.159 --> 01:36:25.880 country as well as the United States, that you have 1819 01:36:26.039 --> 01:36:29.760 to disclose that. And the concern here is that we 1820 01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:34.319 may have members of Congress who are citizens of other 1821 01:36:34.479 --> 01:36:38.800 countries and therefore have loyalty to other countries. When you 1822 01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:41.199 are sworn into office, you take an oath to the 1823 01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:45.319 US Constitution. We want to know who else you're obligated to. 1824 01:36:46.359 --> 01:36:49.199 And people say, is this ever happened? How do you 1825 01:36:49.399 --> 01:36:53.000 know there are members of Congress with dual loyalty. Well, 1826 01:36:53.039 --> 01:36:55.039 it's hard to know. That's why we have the bill. 1827 01:36:55.479 --> 01:36:58.520 But sometimes when they run for president, we find out 1828 01:36:58.640 --> 01:37:01.520 or they find out that they do have citizenship in 1829 01:37:01.560 --> 01:37:05.960 another country. The two conservative examples I can give you 1830 01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:10.039 was that I think it was Michelle Bachman had a 1831 01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:14.319 citizenship in Switzerland and Ted Cruz had citizenship in Canada, 1832 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:18.079 and they both renounced their citizenship, which I think is 1833 01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:20.520 what you should do. And by the way, my personal 1834 01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:24.960 preference is that you only have citizenship in the United States. 1835 01:37:25.479 --> 01:37:27.199 But I thought it would be easier to get a 1836 01:37:27.239 --> 01:37:29.920 bill passed that requires you to close it and then 1837 01:37:29.960 --> 01:37:32.000 the voters can decide whether you should be a dual 1838 01:37:32.039 --> 01:37:33.399 citizen serving in Congress. 1839 01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:35.880 Well, I think that makes perfect sense. I one of 1840 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:39.079 my dear friends from you know, high school age married 1841 01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:40.960 a French girl, and he's been living in France now 1842 01:37:41.000 --> 01:37:43.720 for the past thirty at least thirty, maybe forty years, 1843 01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:47.039 and I know he considers himself more French than a 1844 01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:51.199 US citizen. He's critical of US government, its policies, and 1845 01:37:51.359 --> 01:37:53.359 some even some of the freedoms we enjoy. So I 1846 01:37:53.439 --> 01:37:56.159 know where his loyalties lie. So it stands to reason 1847 01:37:56.239 --> 01:37:58.560 that that could because certainly something like that could happen. 1848 01:37:58.680 --> 01:38:01.319 So the big question is who would be against this 1849 01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:02.960 common sense proposal? 1850 01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:07.520 Congressman Massy nobody should be against it, I don't know yet, 1851 01:38:07.600 --> 01:38:10.640 although I've only got I think four co sponsors for it, 1852 01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:16.159 Clay Higgins, Marjorie Taylor Green, and one of the I 1853 01:38:16.239 --> 01:38:19.600 think Andy Biggs, and somebody else joined here recently. 1854 01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:22.159 So if you're listening to this show and I'm not 1855 01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:25.199 your congressman, please call their office and ask them to 1856 01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:26.239 co sponsor this bill. 1857 01:38:26.760 --> 01:38:29.399 All right, I guess is it in committee right now? 1858 01:38:29.520 --> 01:38:31.399 I know these things have to come out of committee 1859 01:38:31.399 --> 01:38:32.920 in order to be advanced to the floor, and of 1860 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:34.640 course it needs to be put up for vote on 1861 01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:36.560 the floor. So where are we in process? 1862 01:38:37.840 --> 01:38:41.760 So this it's you know, I introduced it so recently 1863 01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:44.119 that I'm not sure that it's if it's been referred 1864 01:38:44.159 --> 01:38:47.319 to a committee yet. And sometimes they're referred to more 1865 01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:49.680 than one committee, but this is such a short bill, 1866 01:38:49.760 --> 01:38:52.399 I think it would just go to one committee, and 1867 01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:57.479 it would be the committee that oversees election law. And 1868 01:38:57.560 --> 01:38:59.439 I'm not sure which one that is. It's not one 1869 01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:02.039 that I serve on because the way I structured this 1870 01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:07.319 bill is it requires an FEC disclosure, just like when 1871 01:39:07.359 --> 01:39:09.840 you file to run for office, you have to disclose 1872 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:14.039 your financial you have to give financial statements. So it's 1873 01:39:14.119 --> 01:39:16.439 just one more thing that you have to disclose when 1874 01:39:16.479 --> 01:39:17.439 you run for office. 1875 01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:21.079 Okay, fair enough. Pivoting over to something that it really 1876 01:39:21.239 --> 01:39:23.600 really gets under my skin, the idea that I can't 1877 01:39:23.720 --> 01:39:27.279 find out and can't see you from labeling where it 1878 01:39:27.560 --> 01:39:31.439 is that my food has been manufactured country of origin labeling. 1879 01:39:31.880 --> 01:39:33.880 We used to have that at some point, didn't we, 1880 01:39:34.119 --> 01:39:36.520 And somewhere along the lines that got eradicated. 1881 01:39:37.720 --> 01:39:41.560 Well, listen, your phone has the country of origin label. 1882 01:39:41.720 --> 01:39:44.720 Your car on the sticker, has country of origin label, 1883 01:39:45.079 --> 01:39:50.359 your shoes, your suit, your socks. You can know which country, 1884 01:39:50.880 --> 01:39:54.760 your tools, which country those things came from. Except now 1885 01:39:55.079 --> 01:39:58.600 with beef and pork. Since twenty fifteen, when Congress removed 1886 01:39:59.359 --> 01:40:02.039 the requirement to label the country of origin on beef 1887 01:40:02.079 --> 01:40:04.399 and pork, you can't necessarily know. 1888 01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:07.079 And what's more is a lot of times this. 1889 01:40:07.119 --> 01:40:11.279 Stuff will be stamped USDA US Department of Agriculture, and 1890 01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:13.760 people read that label and they think, oh, this has 1891 01:40:13.840 --> 01:40:16.960 made the USA. No, that could be from any country 1892 01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:21.439 in the world. So I think we made a mistake 1893 01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:24.560 in twenty fifteen when we removed country of origin labeling 1894 01:40:24.720 --> 01:40:27.079 for beef and pork. I fought it tooth and nail. 1895 01:40:28.079 --> 01:40:31.800 I lost the argument because they came to US and said, oh, 1896 01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:34.880 the World Trade Organization has ruled against you in a 1897 01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:38.720 suit from Canada and Mexico. Well, this suit was really, 1898 01:40:39.319 --> 01:40:42.399 I believe, brought by the meat packers who want to 1899 01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:44.840 be able to sell you meat from anywhere in the 1900 01:40:44.920 --> 01:40:47.319 world and put that USDA label on it make you 1901 01:40:47.399 --> 01:40:51.319 think it came from the United States. And in any case, 1902 01:40:51.479 --> 01:40:54.079 the world Trade Organization, in my opinion, does not have 1903 01:40:54.199 --> 01:40:55.439 authority over Congress. 1904 01:40:55.520 --> 01:40:58.640 I can't find them in the constitution right, any kind. 1905 01:40:58.600 --> 01:41:03.279 Of superior court. In fact, even the Supreme Court is 1906 01:41:03.319 --> 01:41:07.359 a co equal branch with the legislative branch according to 1907 01:41:07.399 --> 01:41:10.039 our constitution. So I don't believe we have to follow 1908 01:41:10.119 --> 01:41:12.840 World Trade Organization. But here's what the World Trade Organization 1909 01:41:12.960 --> 01:41:16.199 said in twenty fifteen. They said that Canada and Mexico 1910 01:41:16.359 --> 01:41:21.880 can impose retaliatory tariffs on your farmers if you keep 1911 01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:24.960 requiring country of origin labeling. So that was enough to 1912 01:41:25.039 --> 01:41:29.199 scare enough of my colleagues into removing country of origin labor. Here. 1913 01:41:29.680 --> 01:41:32.560 The thought just occurred to me, though, when Trump put 1914 01:41:32.600 --> 01:41:34.399 these tariffs on, and now we got all these other 1915 01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:38.000 countries and they're going to reciprocate with tariffs. Okay, if 1916 01:41:38.039 --> 01:41:40.800 we're in a full blown trade war or trade dispute, 1917 01:41:41.159 --> 01:41:43.359 go ahead and put the labels back on. I mean, 1918 01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:46.279 this is art of the deal. Let's get back the 1919 01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:50.479 territory we lost and label our dagone food about where 1920 01:41:50.560 --> 01:41:53.920 it came from. Well, one more, go ahead, one more thing. 1921 01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:57.840 While I'm on this topic. The US Olympic Association even 1922 01:41:57.960 --> 01:42:02.079 advised Olympic athletes to be careful about eating meat in 1923 01:42:02.960 --> 01:42:06.560 China and in Mexico, because even though they do ban 1924 01:42:06.720 --> 01:42:11.439 the use of anabolic steroids in their animals, they're still 1925 01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:15.399 using them. There's no enforcement, and so you could eat 1926 01:42:15.479 --> 01:42:18.640 that meat and fail a drug task at the arampage. 1927 01:42:19.600 --> 01:42:23.039 Oh my god. Well, and you just illustrate a great point. 1928 01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:26.800 First off, I wasn't aware of the reality of what 1929 01:42:26.920 --> 01:42:28.560 you just told me. So now I am a more 1930 01:42:28.640 --> 01:42:31.680 informed consumer. And I was just making the point earlier 1931 01:42:31.720 --> 01:42:34.159 when I saw the topics of conversation, most notably on 1932 01:42:34.319 --> 01:42:37.840 this one. If I'm standing at the supermarket and I've 1933 01:42:37.880 --> 01:42:40.000 got a pile of ground beef in front of me, 1934 01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:43.880 and it's labeled, you know, manufactured, raised, you know, all 1935 01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:46.960 United States processed, and I got another pile of meat 1936 01:42:47.000 --> 01:42:49.079 that doesn't have anything related to that, then I'm left 1937 01:42:49.119 --> 01:42:51.439 to guess, I wonder where that came from. Do they 1938 01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:53.680 have the same safety standards as we do. It's the 1939 01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:57.159 same level of you know, oversight in those countries, and 1940 01:42:57.199 --> 01:43:00.840 that allows me to make an informed decision. Plus, perhaps 1941 01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:03.239 I would just like to support the American farmer and 1942 01:43:03.399 --> 01:43:06.760 buy United States grown and processed beef. 1943 01:43:07.319 --> 01:43:11.079 That's Here's what's more that that mystery pile of beef, 1944 01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:12.760 it's probably it's certainly going. 1945 01:43:12.760 --> 01:43:14.039 To say us d A on it. 1946 01:43:14.520 --> 01:43:16.680 So the average consumer is going to think that the 1947 01:43:16.800 --> 01:43:20.600 mystery pile, the mystery meat is from the USA, but 1948 01:43:20.760 --> 01:43:23.640 the USDA label does not imply that. 1949 01:43:23.920 --> 01:43:25.680 And the other thing is it may. 1950 01:43:25.680 --> 01:43:28.720 Say product of the USA just because they. 1951 01:43:28.680 --> 01:43:33.359 Grounded up in the United States, process processed in the 1952 01:43:33.479 --> 01:43:38.359 United States does not mean that that meat was grown here, correct. 1953 01:43:39.239 --> 01:43:42.680 So, uh, this is something There are some various bills 1954 01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:46.279 on this in the Senate. In the House, I'm looking 1955 01:43:46.319 --> 01:43:50.720 at drafting my own bill to reinstitute country of origin labeling. 1956 01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:55.479 And you know, the libertarian argument here is buyer beware 1957 01:43:55.640 --> 01:43:57.560 and if you know, if the consumers want to buy 1958 01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:00.800 the mystery meat, let them buy them exactly. But but 1959 01:44:01.520 --> 01:44:05.279 I'm a constitutionalist here, and we have the authority Congress 1960 01:44:05.319 --> 01:44:08.079 does to regulate trade when it comes across the border. 1961 01:44:08.560 --> 01:44:13.920 And I think you know, even the Founders endowed Congress 1962 01:44:13.960 --> 01:44:16.319 with the ability to set standards for weights and measures. 1963 01:44:16.399 --> 01:44:20.239 That's in Article one, section eight, the Directive toward Congress. 1964 01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:22.720 You know, so that a pound weighs a pound, whether 1965 01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:26.600 you're buying it in Kentucky or Ohio. So this falls 1966 01:44:26.680 --> 01:44:30.000 under both of those categories, the ability for Congress to 1967 01:44:30.159 --> 01:44:31.520 set standards and. 1968 01:44:31.800 --> 01:44:33.159 Also the ability to. 1969 01:44:35.039 --> 01:44:40.359 Regulate commerce with other countries. And it's really no extra 1970 01:44:40.560 --> 01:44:42.960 imposition to put that on the label. 1971 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:44.039 There are some who would. 1972 01:44:43.880 --> 01:44:46.560 Say it is, but the consumers have the right to know. 1973 01:44:47.399 --> 01:44:49.119 We do. And there's something I always looking out for, 1974 01:44:49.399 --> 01:44:53.399 and I've noticed that quite often you will see, at 1975 01:44:53.479 --> 01:44:56.159 least in so far as seafood is concerned, you'll see 1976 01:44:56.239 --> 01:44:58.840 country of origin on seafood. Like I do not want 1977 01:44:58.880 --> 01:45:02.000 to buy farm raised shrimp from Vietnam or China or 1978 01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:04.439 Malaysia or wherever the hell it comes from. I want 1979 01:45:04.920 --> 01:45:08.720 Gulf of Fill in the Black Mexico, United States wild 1980 01:45:08.840 --> 01:45:10.680 caught shrimp, and you can find it. 1981 01:45:11.800 --> 01:45:14.960 You want to know why. That is why, because the 1982 01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:18.640 seafood lobby is not as powerful as the meat processing lobby, 1983 01:45:19.119 --> 01:45:21.479 and so you still have to label the country of 1984 01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:26.880 origin on seafood for poultry, and there's not a whole 1985 01:45:26.920 --> 01:45:31.199 lot of post processing on seafood, so you know you 1986 01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:34.119 can generally eat it as eat it or sell it 1987 01:45:34.159 --> 01:45:36.000 as it came out of the ocean. A lot of times. 1988 01:45:36.960 --> 01:45:41.039 And so you don't have that same oligarchy that controls 1989 01:45:41.119 --> 01:45:43.720 the seafood industry that you do in the beef and 1990 01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:44.640 pork industry. 1991 01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:48.560 Oh that is, you still have to label it. 1992 01:45:49.640 --> 01:45:51.840 So if they had more money and could pay off 1993 01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:55.119 lobbyists and congress people elected officials, then I wouldn't be 1994 01:45:55.159 --> 01:45:56.960 able to know where my shrimp came from. That's really 1995 01:45:57.000 --> 01:46:00.960 what this comes down to. That is what it down to, Brother, 1996 01:46:01.239 --> 01:46:03.880 always telling it like it is. Congress of Massy, let's pause. 1997 01:46:04.119 --> 01:46:06.000 We'll bring you back because I do want to talk 1998 01:46:06.000 --> 01:46:08.960 a little bit about tariffs and a couple other topics, 1999 01:46:09.000 --> 01:46:11.439 and I know you're usually fair game for pretty much anything. 2000 01:46:12.039 --> 01:46:14.560 To take nineteen if fifty about kercit talks Nation Bron 2001 01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:17.960 Thomas with Congressman Thomas mass Always a wonderful thing to 2002 01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:20.960 having Congress Massy on the program. Always even made better 2003 01:46:21.000 --> 01:46:24.000 because Judge of Politana follows, and we'll be talking with 2004 01:46:24.119 --> 01:46:27.119 Judge of Palatano on tariffs. And he points out in 2005 01:46:27.239 --> 01:46:31.920 his column that these tariffs were implemented or asserted by 2006 01:46:31.960 --> 01:46:35.600 Donald Trump pursued to the International Economic Emergency Powers Act 2007 01:46:35.680 --> 01:46:38.439 of nineteen seventy seven, which permits the president to impose 2008 01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:41.560 tariffs on goods coming from outside the US in the 2009 01:46:41.640 --> 01:46:45.039 case of economic emergency, and he initially cited the fentanyl 2010 01:46:45.079 --> 01:46:47.279 crisis with regard to the twenty five percent tariffs on 2011 01:46:47.359 --> 01:46:50.520 Canada and Mexico, and I think we can easily agree 2012 01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:53.920 that fentyl is a bit of a crisis. But moving over, 2013 01:46:54.119 --> 01:46:58.680 apparently that had broader implications than originally intended. And so 2014 01:46:58.880 --> 01:47:03.319 he cited this economic imbalance, this trade deficit we have 2015 01:47:03.479 --> 01:47:06.560 with so many countries, as the predicate the emergency to 2016 01:47:06.600 --> 01:47:09.319 trigger them, but we apparently have been experiencing a trade 2017 01:47:09.359 --> 01:47:13.319 imbalanced since nineteen thirty one, which according to the judge anyway, 2018 01:47:13.399 --> 01:47:15.039 and I suppose people are free to have their own 2019 01:47:15.319 --> 01:47:19.319 conclusions on it. This isn't a sudden or unexpected event. Ergo, 2020 01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:21.079 it's not an emergency. And I know some of the 2021 01:47:21.159 --> 01:47:25.560 Democrats are trying to advance legislation to block the tariffs, 2022 01:47:26.079 --> 01:47:28.960 nullifying the emergency authority. Trump sided to enact of tariffs 2023 01:47:29.000 --> 01:47:33.039 by Representatives Meeks and Larson and Neil, all Democrats. Where 2024 01:47:33.159 --> 01:47:34.640 is Congressman Massey on this? 2025 01:47:36.720 --> 01:47:39.079 This is great and by the way, everything you said 2026 01:47:39.359 --> 01:47:43.960 is correct. So the President declared a national emergency in 2027 01:47:44.119 --> 01:47:48.439 order to invokee these tariffs. Now, under the National Emergencies Act, 2028 01:47:48.880 --> 01:47:51.520 there's an expedited way to bring a vote to the 2029 01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:55.520 floor to countermand the president's declaration of an emergency. If 2030 01:47:55.560 --> 01:47:58.479 Congress says, no, you know what, this is not an emergency, we're. 2031 01:47:58.319 --> 01:47:59.239 Going to have a vote on it. 2032 01:48:00.239 --> 01:48:03.760 And the way you do it doesn't even require the 2033 01:48:03.800 --> 01:48:05.479 Speaker of the House's permission. 2034 01:48:05.720 --> 01:48:08.279 And so what the Democrats are trying to do. 2035 01:48:08.880 --> 01:48:12.560 Now here's where the nefariot stuff happens. Because I was 2036 01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:15.319 in the center of the sausage factory last Congress. I 2037 01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:19.439 served on the Rules Committee where they I think they're 2038 01:48:19.439 --> 01:48:22.399 skirting the wall. The law says, if the President declares 2039 01:48:22.439 --> 01:48:26.880 the national emergency, then anybody in Congress can bring a 2040 01:48:27.039 --> 01:48:32.000 bill to the floor undoing the national emergency without the 2041 01:48:32.039 --> 01:48:34.600 Speaker's permission. But what they do is in the Rules 2042 01:48:34.680 --> 01:48:38.960 Committee they insert a little bit of text in one 2043 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:41.680 of these big resolutions that says, oh, by the way, 2044 01:48:42.199 --> 01:48:45.720 that National Emergency Act thing that this congressman is trying 2045 01:48:45.760 --> 01:48:49.560 to bring to the floor, it's not his resolution isn't 2046 01:48:49.600 --> 01:48:51.600 in the right order, And so we're going to turn 2047 01:48:51.680 --> 01:48:56.800 it off using this procedural sleight of hand. And then 2048 01:48:56.960 --> 01:48:59.720 my colleagues, they vote for this rule, let's say, the 2049 01:48:59.760 --> 01:49:02.960 rule that brings the big beautiful bill to the floor. Well, 2050 01:49:03.079 --> 01:49:06.800 inside of that, they've got this provision to turn off 2051 01:49:06.880 --> 01:49:10.680 the National Emergencies Act privileges for whoever's trying to bring 2052 01:49:10.720 --> 01:49:12.720 the bill to the floor. So they can stop the 2053 01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:15.079 bill from coming to the floor, even though the law 2054 01:49:15.199 --> 01:49:17.439 says the bill needs to come to the floor. They 2055 01:49:17.479 --> 01:49:21.800 can use a rule, this procedural resolution in Congress to stop. 2056 01:49:21.560 --> 01:49:22.399 A vote on that bill. 2057 01:49:23.359 --> 01:49:27.119 They have done this once already, and I was the 2058 01:49:27.279 --> 01:49:31.680 only Republican to vote against that procedural resolution. I may 2059 01:49:31.760 --> 01:49:33.720 have been one of ten who actually knew it was. 2060 01:49:33.840 --> 01:49:37.560 Inside of that procedural resolution they were turning off privileges 2061 01:49:37.640 --> 01:49:40.760 under the National Emergencies Act. So they've already once stopped 2062 01:49:43.039 --> 01:49:47.359 a vote on the emergency that enables the tariffs. They've 2063 01:49:47.359 --> 01:49:50.600 already once stopped it, and that was about three weeks ago, 2064 01:49:50.840 --> 01:49:53.640 and I think they'll do the same thing again. They 2065 01:49:53.800 --> 01:49:56.720 use the Rules Committee to do this. Last Congress, I 2066 01:49:56.800 --> 01:49:58.680 served on the Rules Committee, and before I got on 2067 01:49:58.720 --> 01:50:00.920 the Rules Committee, I said, if you pull this crap 2068 01:50:01.720 --> 01:50:04.399 on anything, whether it's War Powers Act, they do it 2069 01:50:04.479 --> 01:50:08.239 on Warpowers Act too, or anything. I will blow the 2070 01:50:08.319 --> 01:50:10.800 whistle and I will vote no. 2071 01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:11.880 In the Rules Committee. 2072 01:50:12.039 --> 01:50:14.479 And so they never did it. They didn't pull these 2073 01:50:14.520 --> 01:50:15.319 tricks for the two. 2074 01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:16.439 Years I was on the Rules Committee. 2075 01:50:16.479 --> 01:50:17.640 But they're back to their old ways. 2076 01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:21.720 So I guess where do you see this going? I mean, 2077 01:50:21.840 --> 01:50:24.399 regardless of what, whether you're in favor of the East tariffs, 2078 01:50:24.399 --> 01:50:25.439 do you think they're going to go good or do 2079 01:50:25.560 --> 01:50:28.840 economic damage? Will they get away with it? 2080 01:50:28.960 --> 01:50:32.039 In this case, they're going to get away with it. 2081 01:50:32.439 --> 01:50:36.319 And what's more, there will be no vote at least 2082 01:50:36.359 --> 01:50:39.279 in the Senate. They voted on this because they don't have. 2083 01:50:39.359 --> 01:50:40.760 A rules committee in the Senate. 2084 01:50:40.880 --> 01:50:44.960 They actually followed the National Emergencies Act law in the Senate. 2085 01:50:45.079 --> 01:50:47.920 In the House, they're going to get away with turning 2086 01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:51.840 it off and not even having a vote because Republicans 2087 01:50:51.960 --> 01:50:55.920 reflexibly vote for these procedural resolutions and we're in the majority, 2088 01:50:56.199 --> 01:50:59.720 and I may be the only one that votes against 2089 01:50:59.800 --> 01:51:00.640 it unless. 2090 01:51:00.399 --> 01:51:01.960 I can wake up some of my colleagues. 2091 01:51:02.239 --> 01:51:05.000 And by the way, my vote doesn't indicate whether I'm 2092 01:51:05.039 --> 01:51:07.960 for or against the tariffs. When my vote says bring 2093 01:51:08.039 --> 01:51:12.760 it to the floor as the wall requires, and let's 2094 01:51:12.840 --> 01:51:18.000 vote on it. And so now I can give you 2095 01:51:18.119 --> 01:51:20.319 my view on tariffs. For the first one hundred and 2096 01:51:20.359 --> 01:51:23.039 fifty years of this country, we were the whole country 2097 01:51:23.159 --> 01:51:25.520 was funded with tariffs because we didn't have an income tax. 2098 01:51:26.199 --> 01:51:28.840 And if you wanted to replace the income tax, like 2099 01:51:28.920 --> 01:51:31.079 get rid of it and replace it with tariffs, I'm 2100 01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:34.600 all in. Like, I would rather have a sales tax 2101 01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:38.640 on stuff coming from China or Canada to fund this 2102 01:51:38.800 --> 01:51:42.359 government than to have a tax on everybody's labor in 2103 01:51:42.479 --> 01:51:45.239 this country. But that's not the proposal. 2104 01:51:45.600 --> 01:51:46.720 No, it's not the president. 2105 01:51:47.720 --> 01:51:51.119 He's adding a tariff in addition to the income tax. 2106 01:51:52.279 --> 01:51:56.079 And what's more is it's not a broad based tariff. 2107 01:51:56.159 --> 01:51:58.479 This is this is my other pet peeve. 2108 01:51:58.560 --> 01:52:00.960 When you go in and you say, oh, we need 2109 01:52:01.079 --> 01:52:03.680 to tear if the steel industry, or we need to 2110 01:52:03.840 --> 01:52:07.000 tear if I don't know the clothing industry or. 2111 01:52:07.119 --> 01:52:09.159 The widget industry. Yeah, yeah. 2112 01:52:09.640 --> 01:52:13.840 The problem is the government doesn't know which widgets you 2113 01:52:13.880 --> 01:52:16.000 should be buying more of or less of, or what 2114 01:52:16.119 --> 01:52:18.239 the price of those widgets should be. But when they 2115 01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:23.359 go in individually and assigned tariffs on different widgets. Then 2116 01:52:23.640 --> 01:52:27.880 they're playing, you know, like they're better than the free market. 2117 01:52:28.039 --> 01:52:32.680 It doesn't work that way. And that's and here's what's more. 2118 01:52:32.920 --> 01:52:35.960 It creates an industry of lobbyists. We just got done 2119 01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:40.199 talking about the meat packing industry lobbyists. It creates an 2120 01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:43.520 industry of lobbyists who come to Congress and ask for 2121 01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:48.600 exemptions for their particular industry or their particular company. 2122 01:52:49.279 --> 01:52:52.680 Going back to the seafood industry not having as much 2123 01:52:52.800 --> 01:52:54.840 money as the beef and pork industry. 2124 01:52:56.079 --> 01:52:59.560 Yeah, so this is and I and so then it 2125 01:52:59.640 --> 01:53:02.640 starts wasting our time in Congress because there's another group 2126 01:53:03.479 --> 01:53:06.600 of lobbyists who evolved that come and try to get 2127 01:53:06.680 --> 01:53:09.800 these exemptions from these teriffs for their industry. 2128 01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:11.800 And they'll be also over at the. 2129 01:53:11.800 --> 01:53:16.439 White House lobbying the President. Hey, don't tear iff our thing. 2130 01:53:17.079 --> 01:53:20.279 Our widget is does you know, needs to get into 2131 01:53:20.319 --> 01:53:25.199 the country without a tariff on it. So we'll see 2132 01:53:25.239 --> 01:53:28.199 how this all settles out. I honestly think you know, 2133 01:53:28.279 --> 01:53:31.239 some people are saying that the stock market getting fidgety 2134 01:53:31.399 --> 01:53:33.399 right now, in the bond market and all that that's 2135 01:53:33.479 --> 01:53:36.239 due to the terraffs. I think it's due to the 2136 01:53:36.359 --> 01:53:40.000 fact that the uncertainty of the teriffs that the president 2137 01:53:40.119 --> 01:53:42.399 can wake up on one side of the bed and 2138 01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:45.039 say we need to tariff this this morning, and then 2139 01:53:45.119 --> 01:53:46.800 tomorrow you can wake up on the other side of 2140 01:53:46.800 --> 01:53:49.760 the bed and say we need to tear if that today. 2141 01:53:51.239 --> 01:53:54.640 If there was certainty behind it, I think they wouldn't 2142 01:53:54.680 --> 01:53:56.840 have to price the uncertainty in the market. 2143 01:53:58.399 --> 01:54:01.359 But we saw that the other day. There was this 2144 01:54:01.479 --> 01:54:03.239 rumor going around that he was going to withdraw these 2145 01:54:03.279 --> 01:54:04.920 tariffs that he had said he was going to impose, 2146 01:54:04.960 --> 01:54:07.159 and the market went back up. And then he said no, no, 2147 01:54:07.279 --> 01:54:09.239 where did that rumor come from, and the market went 2148 01:54:09.279 --> 01:54:12.000 back down again. So there is a huge amount of 2149 01:54:12.079 --> 01:54:15.840 uncertainty built into all this, and obviously uncertainty creates fidgety 2150 01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:20.520 markets and a concerned populace. Congress from Thomas Massey, your 2151 01:54:20.560 --> 01:54:23.960 honor Judge Naponto is listen, listening right now. He send 2152 01:54:24.000 --> 01:54:28.399 it awave out to you and I'll go ahead this 2153 01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:29.119 real quick. 2154 01:54:29.079 --> 01:54:31.399 ARCA one, section eight says Congress should be doing this, 2155 01:54:31.600 --> 01:54:34.399 not the president, and that would give you more certainty. 2156 01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:38.239 Well, I guess in closing the International Economic Emergency powers Act, 2157 01:54:38.359 --> 01:54:39.840 much like the Wars Power Act. I guess a lot 2158 01:54:39.840 --> 01:54:42.000 of people can make an argument that that's not constitutional 2159 01:54:42.039 --> 01:54:44.199 because we do have the provision for a declaration of 2160 01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:47.239 war and the Congress does have the power of the purse. 2161 01:54:47.359 --> 01:54:49.800 Right correct, there you are. 2162 01:54:50.000 --> 01:54:53.079 Whether it's constitutional or not, it is the law, and 2163 01:54:53.319 --> 01:54:56.920 the Rules Committee is circumventing the law by saying these 2164 01:54:56.960 --> 01:55:00.920 are not the droids you're looking for, saying this is 2165 01:55:01.079 --> 01:55:04.279 not a war Powers resolution, or this is not an 2166 01:55:04.359 --> 01:55:08.239 emergency National Emergency Act resolution, and so we're going to 2167 01:55:08.319 --> 01:55:10.239 turn it off and it's not coming to the floor. 2168 01:55:10.640 --> 01:55:12.119 I think that's skirting the law. 2169 01:55:12.359 --> 01:55:15.560 Yeah, I really do. Well could end up in the courts. 2170 01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:17.439 I don't know, but you know what. I love you, 2171 01:55:17.560 --> 01:55:20.920 Congressome Massy for explaining this to us and revealing the 2172 01:55:20.960 --> 01:55:23.520 sausage making process and the shenanigans that go on each 2173 01:55:23.560 --> 01:55:25.439 and every day in Congress. God bless you, sir. I 2174 01:55:25.479 --> 01:55:28.199 appreciate your willingness to come on the program and speak 2175 01:55:28.279 --> 01:55:31.079 truth to powers I always say. And waiting in the wings. 2176 01:55:31.159 --> 01:55:34.159 I know you're a fan. Judge Nita Polaitano, Congressom Massy, 2177 01:55:34.239 --> 01:55:36.000 best of health, my friend. We'll talk real soon. 2178 01:55:36.800 --> 01:55:38.800 All right, we love you and the judge as well, 2179 01:55:38.960 --> 01:55:40.199 so we'll talk to you soon. 2180 01:55:40.439 --> 01:55:42.800 A twenty nine Here, fifty five cars of detoxation. Judge 2181 01:55:42.800 --> 01:55:47.720 of Polton as up next, fifty five KRC the Talks 2182 01:55:47.760 --> 01:55:52.239 Station ay thirty four or fifty five car seed Talks 2183 01:55:52.279 --> 01:55:55.359 Station had a very happy Wednesday too, and the heels 2184 01:55:55.399 --> 01:55:58.399 of Congressman Thomas Massy fingers crossed. We get our technical 2185 01:55:58.439 --> 01:56:00.880 details work out. Joe Strecker is out, Seawn's filling in. 2186 01:56:01.560 --> 01:56:04.119 Do we have audio because I can see the judge? 2187 01:56:04.159 --> 01:56:07.439 Can I hear the judge? Welcome back, Judge Annapolitano. 2188 01:56:07.600 --> 01:56:09.760 All right, good morning, Brian, can you hear me? 2189 01:56:10.119 --> 01:56:13.439 Thank God? Let me pause and say a prayer to 2190 01:56:13.520 --> 01:56:16.279 the dear Lord that it is working. Good morning, your honor. 2191 01:56:16.479 --> 01:56:20.279 It's always great having you on sweat and bullets there 2192 01:56:20.359 --> 01:56:21.479 for a little while, Your honor. 2193 01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:26.000 Well, I'm glad that it's working. 2194 01:56:26.319 --> 01:56:28.600 I'm afraid to hang up my phone because I don't 2195 01:56:28.600 --> 01:56:32.239 know if we're talking through the link or through the phone. 2196 01:56:32.479 --> 01:56:35.319 Well, let's keep your phone on because the content of 2197 01:56:35.439 --> 01:56:39.359 your column, I think is extremely important and I really 2198 01:56:39.560 --> 01:56:41.319 suspected you would go down this road, and I just 2199 01:56:41.359 --> 01:56:44.520 had a conversation with Congressman Massey about it. This whole 2200 01:56:44.680 --> 01:56:48.800 concept of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act of nineteen 2201 01:56:48.920 --> 01:56:52.520 seventy seven is what allegedly gives Donald Trump the authority 2202 01:56:52.560 --> 01:56:53.760 to impose these tarots. 2203 01:56:56.560 --> 01:57:00.399 Well, the statute is the basis for the effort authority. 2204 01:57:01.960 --> 01:57:07.039 What Congressman Massey and Senator Paul have been complaining bitterly 2205 01:57:07.159 --> 01:57:09.880 about is that we shouldn't be running the government under 2206 01:57:09.960 --> 01:57:15.239 emergency authority when there's no emergency. The statute itself defines 2207 01:57:15.279 --> 01:57:19.800 an emergency as a sudden and unexpected event that adversely 2208 01:57:19.880 --> 01:57:25.079 affects national security or economic prosperity. The stated purpose for 2209 01:57:25.199 --> 01:57:27.239 the emergency. I won't go through the history with all 2210 01:57:27.279 --> 01:57:31.119 the fentanyl nonsense, but the stated purpose for the emergency 2211 01:57:32.600 --> 01:57:33.880 is the imbalance of trade. 2212 01:57:33.960 --> 01:57:34.199 Brian. 2213 01:57:34.239 --> 01:57:36.960 We've had an imbalance of trade since nineteen thirty. 2214 01:57:36.720 --> 01:57:41.279 Four, so by definition, it's not a sudden and unexpected event. 2215 01:57:41.439 --> 01:57:44.880 So there's no basis for the emergency. Therefore, there's no 2216 01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:48.239 basis and no authority for him to impose the tariffs. 2217 01:57:48.800 --> 01:57:50.399 The tariff is a sales tax. 2218 01:57:50.840 --> 01:57:53.520 You want to have a sales tax, Congress has to 2219 01:57:53.640 --> 01:57:57.840 impose it. Congressman Massey and Senator Paul are one hundred 2220 01:57:57.880 --> 01:57:58.960 percent correct. 2221 01:58:00.199 --> 01:58:00.359 One. 2222 01:58:01.399 --> 01:58:04.079 The Democrats are on their side because they hate Trump 2223 01:58:04.159 --> 01:58:06.119 and a half dozen Republicans and that's it. 2224 01:58:06.520 --> 01:58:08.760 Everybody else has colt and afraid of Trump. 2225 01:58:09.359 --> 01:58:11.960 Well, you know this reminds me, I mean dead on 2226 01:58:12.239 --> 01:58:13.920 what we used to argue about when I was practicing 2227 01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:18.840 litigation for pollution liability. The coverage came about for pollution 2228 01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:24.239 liability for sudden and unexpected releases of toxins, and during 2229 01:58:24.319 --> 01:58:27.920 the circle of litigation, all these companies went back to 2230 01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:30.800 their insurance policies for pollution that they had been releasing 2231 01:58:30.880 --> 01:58:34.720 into the world for literally decades, claiming it was sudden 2232 01:58:34.720 --> 01:58:37.279 and unexpected, and that became the key to the litigation. 2233 01:58:37.800 --> 01:58:39.920 Some judges said, no, for things that have been going 2234 01:58:39.960 --> 01:58:42.079 on for years and years and years, you can't define 2235 01:58:42.119 --> 01:58:45.520 that as sudden and unexpected. It has to happen in 2236 01:58:45.640 --> 01:58:48.359 a sudden and unexpected way. So I understand the point here. 2237 01:58:49.920 --> 01:58:54.399 So there is a challenge made by a small stationary 2238 01:58:54.880 --> 01:59:00.640 company which imports its paper from China in federal court 2239 01:59:00.720 --> 01:59:05.680 in Florida. Will a federal judge have the clarity of 2240 01:59:05.840 --> 01:59:13.000 vision and professional courage to enjoin the tariffs. Who knows 2241 01:59:13.560 --> 01:59:15.960 Supreme Court is letting Donald Trump get away with all 2242 01:59:16.079 --> 01:59:20.720 kinds of things on the emergency docket. The decision to 2243 01:59:21.479 --> 01:59:24.239 enjoy Judge Boseburg the other day was no decision. There 2244 01:59:24.319 --> 01:59:26.359 was no opinion. You don't know what they're thinking was 2245 01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:29.920 it was an opinion. It was a ruling by five 2246 01:59:29.960 --> 01:59:31.840 of them, no opinion. Because they did it in the 2247 01:59:31.920 --> 01:59:36.279 emergency connection, will they do the same thing. It's very 2248 01:59:36.439 --> 01:59:39.760 very dangerous for jurisprudence in this country for the highest 2249 01:59:39.800 --> 01:59:41.359 court in the land just to come down with a 2250 01:59:41.520 --> 01:59:43.479 ruling without giving. 2251 01:59:43.920 --> 01:59:44.800 A basis for it. 2252 01:59:45.479 --> 01:59:49.359 I suspect the same thing will happen here. However, this 2253 01:59:49.560 --> 01:59:53.720 is causing real and serious damage, a six. 2254 01:59:53.680 --> 01:59:58.880 Trillion dollar capital loss. Thus, farm or only into this 2255 01:59:59.079 --> 02:00:03.079 thing by a week. And the Chinese or the. 2256 02:00:05.760 --> 02:00:08.960 Sales tax on goods from China is now one hundred 2257 02:00:08.960 --> 02:00:09.720 and four percent. 2258 02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:14.720 That doesn't kick in until today. So will Joe six pack? 2259 02:00:14.800 --> 02:00:17.560 And is Maga Cap going to Walmart to buy a 2260 02:00:17.680 --> 02:00:21.279 toaster and expecting to spend thirty dollars buy it for 2261 02:00:21.600 --> 02:00:25.720 sixty dollars or will he go without a toaster or 2262 02:00:25.840 --> 02:00:29.800 will he search in vain for an American toaster or 2263 02:00:29.960 --> 02:00:33.239 will Joe six pack in his MAGA cap going to 2264 02:00:33.479 --> 02:00:38.479 a Ford dealership in Cincinnati, how will we react with 2265 02:00:38.600 --> 02:00:40.920 sticker shock when the dealer says, we have to add 2266 02:00:40.920 --> 02:00:44.800 another three thousand dollars because that's what Ford had to 2267 02:00:44.920 --> 02:00:48.279 pay in sales tax on the parts that were made 2268 02:00:48.319 --> 02:00:50.319 that were put into your car. Because a lot of 2269 02:00:50.359 --> 02:00:54.119 the car the parts come from Mexico, Canada and South Korea. 2270 02:00:55.039 --> 02:00:57.319 This will be the same Joe six pack that you're 2271 02:00:57.840 --> 02:00:59.279 Donald Trump to victory. 2272 02:01:00.000 --> 02:01:01.880 Well, and I guess I have to ask because you 2273 02:01:01.920 --> 02:01:03.319 and I have talked about this in the context of 2274 02:01:03.319 --> 02:01:07.920 the War Powers Act. The International Economic Emergency Powers Act 2275 02:01:08.039 --> 02:01:10.399 is a delegation of the power of the purse from 2276 02:01:10.520 --> 02:01:15.479 Congress to the executive branch, granted pursuing to certain limitations 2277 02:01:15.600 --> 02:01:20.640 like this sudden, unexpected emergency event. But is that in 2278 02:01:20.760 --> 02:01:23.840 and of itself, as nineteen seventy seven Act constitutional in 2279 02:01:23.920 --> 02:01:24.319 your mind? 2280 02:01:25.600 --> 02:01:28.680 In my mind, it is not constitutional because it is 2281 02:01:28.960 --> 02:01:34.159 delegating away a core function of the Congress, which is 2282 02:01:34.279 --> 02:01:35.199 to raise taxes. 2283 02:01:35.239 --> 02:01:38.359 I mean, this is so core to the Congress that 2284 02:01:38.640 --> 02:01:40.000 the Constitution. 2285 02:01:39.640 --> 02:01:43.039 Actually says taxes must emanate in the House of representatives. 2286 02:01:43.079 --> 02:01:46.119 It is as clear as can be that this power 2287 02:01:46.279 --> 02:01:50.279 resides solely with Congress, and Congress can't give away a 2288 02:01:50.399 --> 02:01:54.800 core power. Could the president allow the Supreme Court to 2289 02:01:54.960 --> 02:01:58.159 run the military. Of course, not, even if he wanted to, 2290 02:01:58.479 --> 02:02:00.720 even if the Court accepted that power. 2291 02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:02.039 It's the same thing. 2292 02:02:02.680 --> 02:02:06.680 The president can't impose taxes, even if Congress wants them to. 2293 02:02:06.840 --> 02:02:10.119 Where does that bring us to taxation without representation? 2294 02:02:10.359 --> 02:02:13.119 That's where it brings us. We didn't elect a president 2295 02:02:13.199 --> 02:02:16.479 to raise taxes. We elect that a Congress to address 2296 02:02:16.520 --> 02:02:17.399 the tax rates. 2297 02:02:18.439 --> 02:02:21.119 Yeah, and I hear what you're saying, and of course 2298 02:02:21.159 --> 02:02:23.640 you know my listeners like, yeah, but it's so unfair, 2299 02:02:23.680 --> 02:02:25.640 and it's been so unfair, and we have these unfair 2300 02:02:25.680 --> 02:02:29.039 advantage because all these other countries can manufacture these goods 2301 02:02:29.079 --> 02:02:31.479 at a fraction of what it cost to manufacture in America. 2302 02:02:31.800 --> 02:02:34.119 That's why the toaster is only thirty five bucks when 2303 02:02:34.159 --> 02:02:36.319 it comes to China, because they have no pollution rules, 2304 02:02:36.359 --> 02:02:38.960 they have no ocean rules, they have no rules period, 2305 02:02:39.039 --> 02:02:41.319 so they can churn it out on slave labor. We've 2306 02:02:41.399 --> 02:02:43.239 got all these other things we've got to comply with, 2307 02:02:43.439 --> 02:02:45.960 so we can't even make a toaster that Joe sixpack 2308 02:02:46.000 --> 02:02:49.640 can afford. And I understand that frustration. And we learned 2309 02:02:49.640 --> 02:02:52.359 a lot of lessons, hard lessons from COVID that we 2310 02:02:52.640 --> 02:02:55.760 just don't manufacture some critically important goods here in the 2311 02:02:55.840 --> 02:02:58.760 United States, most notably in a time of war when 2312 02:02:58.760 --> 02:03:01.079 we couldn't get pharmaceuticals for our own men and women 2313 02:03:01.159 --> 02:03:06.199 in uniform. But that doesn't change the Constitution. And there's 2314 02:03:06.279 --> 02:03:09.039 that pesky Constitution, and you're in my clinging to it. 2315 02:03:09.199 --> 02:03:11.239 That tends to stand it a way, especially in the 2316 02:03:11.279 --> 02:03:13.279 face of a divided do nothing Congress. 2317 02:03:15.000 --> 02:03:18.159 It is an intentional impediment to tyranny. 2318 02:03:19.159 --> 02:03:22.039 And just as Scalia argued he didn't always carry the 2319 02:03:22.159 --> 02:03:24.680 day or it often was in a descent, that these 2320 02:03:24.760 --> 02:03:29.279 core functions cannot be delegated away because that leads to tyranny, 2321 02:03:29.359 --> 02:03:32.600 It leads to an imbalance of power, It leads to 2322 02:03:32.760 --> 02:03:34.680 too much power in the. 2323 02:03:34.760 --> 02:03:36.399 Hands of one branch of government. 2324 02:03:36.479 --> 02:03:41.439 The Congress today, in twenty twenty five, is frustrated over 2325 02:03:41.520 --> 02:03:47.119 what its predecessor in nineteen seventy seven did. Senator Paul 2326 02:03:47.239 --> 02:03:53.880 got a majority of senators to vote to nullify the 2327 02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:56.399 declaration of an emergency on the theory that we just 2328 02:03:56.600 --> 02:03:59.920 articulated he would need sixty seven in order to over 2329 02:04:00.119 --> 02:04:05.079 right of presidential veto. The House leadership is totally wedded 2330 02:04:05.119 --> 02:04:07.399 to the president. Even though a majority of members of 2331 02:04:07.439 --> 02:04:12.439 the House, that's the Democrats plus the Freedom Caucus are 2332 02:04:12.640 --> 02:04:14.640 against this. They won't even let this come to the 2333 02:04:14.720 --> 02:04:17.000 floor for a vote for fear it will embarrass them. 2334 02:04:17.279 --> 02:04:20.680 They couldn't care less about the Constitution. They couldn't care 2335 02:04:20.800 --> 02:04:24.279 less about Joe sixpack. They only care about their relationship 2336 02:04:24.399 --> 02:04:24.960 to the man. 2337 02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:25.760 In the Oval office. 2338 02:04:26.880 --> 02:04:29.920 Well, if you had to leave read Tea Leaves on this, 2339 02:04:30.159 --> 02:04:33.720 this sounds like it is right for a judicial review 2340 02:04:33.920 --> 02:04:35.840 ultimately end up in the lap of the Supreme Court. 2341 02:04:35.920 --> 02:04:38.039 Do you see that happening? Do you see this getting 2342 02:04:38.119 --> 02:04:41.439 resolved by way of resolving the issue, maybe the core 2343 02:04:41.600 --> 02:04:44.479 issue of whether this nineteen seventy seven Act is even 2344 02:04:44.560 --> 02:04:46.800 in and of itself constitutional, or are we just going 2345 02:04:46.880 --> 02:04:48.159 to go along with steps quote. 2346 02:04:49.399 --> 02:04:52.119 I would hope that the judiciary would have the courage 2347 02:04:52.159 --> 02:04:54.399 to do the right thing, or even the wrong thing. 2348 02:04:54.520 --> 02:04:58.000 I just hope that they would rule it would be 2349 02:04:58.119 --> 02:05:02.119 reprehensible if the Supreme Court dates the nineteen seventy seven act, Well, 2350 02:05:02.159 --> 02:05:05.279 then you might end up with judges running the military, 2351 02:05:05.359 --> 02:05:09.520 because then you can just exchange assignments as if you 2352 02:05:09.680 --> 02:05:11.960 were in grade school. I don't want to do this 2353 02:05:12.079 --> 02:05:12.720 book report. 2354 02:05:12.800 --> 02:05:14.279 You take mine and I'll take yours. 2355 02:05:14.439 --> 02:05:19.279 You can't do that with the constitution that destroys human liberty, 2356 02:05:19.399 --> 02:05:22.479 that turns the president into a tyrant. 2357 02:05:23.439 --> 02:05:24.359 Did you hear. 2358 02:05:26.000 --> 02:05:28.600 What he said on Air Force one the other day 2359 02:05:28.640 --> 02:05:32.359 and when Carolyn Levitt repeated, we're thinking of finding ways 2360 02:05:32.439 --> 02:05:37.720 to deport Americans? Good God, where are we going? 2361 02:05:38.319 --> 02:05:40.760 Well, Congress sits on its button, does nothing. 2362 02:05:41.239 --> 02:05:44.000 Yes, that results in an imperial presidency. You and I 2363 02:05:44.159 --> 02:05:47.279 have reset conclusions many times over the many years that 2364 02:05:47.319 --> 02:05:49.239 you and I have been talking. Well, at least the 2365 02:05:49.319 --> 02:05:51.359 Supreme Court recognize that the people that are trying to 2366 02:05:51.439 --> 02:05:53.640 kick out of the country are entitled to a habeus 2367 02:05:53.680 --> 02:05:56.600 corpus hearing and a due process hearing. 2368 02:05:57.720 --> 02:06:00.880 Before you know that that was a very sort of 2369 02:06:01.039 --> 02:06:04.479 sneaky thing that the Court did. They made it look 2370 02:06:05.319 --> 02:06:07.760 like they were giving Trump what he wanted by getting 2371 02:06:07.800 --> 02:06:12.000 this case away from his beast in the night, Judge Boseburg, 2372 02:06:12.760 --> 02:06:15.279 but requiring a hearing for everybody they want to deport 2373 02:06:15.319 --> 02:06:18.159 they have three hundred and fifty thousand veneze whales they. 2374 02:06:18.119 --> 02:06:19.840 Want to deport. Now they have to hold a hearing 2375 02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:22.039 on each one in Britain's evidence. 2376 02:06:21.720 --> 02:06:22.359 On each one. 2377 02:06:23.600 --> 02:06:26.119 Hey, but that's exactly the argument you made last week. 2378 02:06:26.239 --> 02:06:31.039 That's what the Constitution requires, so right, and it requires no. 2379 02:06:31.199 --> 02:06:34.840 Less than due process whenever it wants to take anybody's liberty, 2380 02:06:34.880 --> 02:06:37.039 no matter who you are, what they claim you've done. 2381 02:06:37.840 --> 02:06:41.359 In the meantime, an innocent man sits in a hell 2382 02:06:41.479 --> 02:06:45.760 hole in Al Salvador, and the president and his people 2383 02:06:46.439 --> 02:06:47.399 couldn't care less. 2384 02:06:48.159 --> 02:06:50.319 Well, a lot of people my listening audience couldn't care 2385 02:06:50.399 --> 02:06:53.760 less about the concept of due process in this particular context. 2386 02:06:53.800 --> 02:06:54.960 So I've been defending. 2387 02:06:56.239 --> 02:07:01.000 Way the government comes after them, then they will appreciate process, 2388 02:07:01.119 --> 02:07:04.399 and then they will appreciate an independent of issuary. 2389 02:07:04.560 --> 02:07:06.560 And that's why I've been defending you on that point 2390 02:07:06.640 --> 02:07:10.239 for the last week.

But you're going to be talking about health. 2421 02:08:32.720 --> 02:08:35.319 What's the subject matter here and specifically doctor J. 2422 02:08:37.319 --> 02:08:39.479 Thank you for the great introduction, Brian. Happy to be 2423 02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:41.520 here and thanks for letting me follow two of the 2424 02:08:41.560 --> 02:08:44.079 big heavy hitters on your show. Oh much love being 2425 02:08:44.119 --> 02:08:48.960 in the spot. I'm so Dan Reganald asked me what 2426 02:08:49.079 --> 02:08:51.279 I'd be interested in talking about Maha and I said, well, 2427 02:08:51.279 --> 02:08:53.199 you know, I'd love to research that. It seems to 2428 02:08:53.279 --> 02:08:55.439 be all in the news. That was some months ago, 2429 02:08:55.600 --> 02:08:57.079 So I was spend in the last couple of months 2430 02:08:57.159 --> 02:09:00.199 doing a lot of internet searches about MAHA. And I 2431 02:09:00.279 --> 02:09:03.920 think I've got a really good little lecture here. I 2432 02:09:04.079 --> 02:09:06.359 go through the history of RFK Junior, because really he 2433 02:09:06.760 --> 02:09:10.359 embodies Mahai. It's his program, though he didn't come up 2434 02:09:10.399 --> 02:09:13.560 with the term until after he decided to endorse President Trump. 2435 02:09:14.439 --> 02:09:18.039 But he's an interesting guy. And I don't even talk 2436 02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:20.640 about the worm, which apparently is I thought it was 2437 02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:25.960 irrelevant but he was such a storied democrat. You know, 2438 02:09:27.119 --> 02:09:32.199 he came from a Kennedy family. His father was RFK Junior, 2439 02:09:32.279 --> 02:09:35.600 who I'm sorry, yeah, RFK Junior, who sadly was assassinated. 2440 02:09:35.640 --> 02:09:39.199 His uncle was the president in JFK. He got assassinated. 2441 02:09:39.680 --> 02:09:41.600 He is such a sad childhood. He had a lot 2442 02:09:41.640 --> 02:09:44.479 of drugs and problems, even though he was in the 2443 02:09:44.560 --> 02:09:47.520 Kennedy family, so he managed to skirt all those. But 2444 02:09:47.640 --> 02:09:49.560 he had a heck of a childhood. And then eventually 2445 02:09:49.680 --> 02:09:53.680 he became an adult. He became a person who could 2446 02:09:53.720 --> 02:09:59.039 control himself, and he ended up in environmentalism and was 2447 02:09:59.119 --> 02:10:02.359 a huge on an environmentalism. He took him on Fanta 2448 02:10:02.479 --> 02:10:05.199 the court and won millions of dollars. He fixed rivers 2449 02:10:05.279 --> 02:10:08.520 in Ohio, not Ohio, New York, like the Hudson River, 2450 02:10:09.479 --> 02:10:12.279 and it wasn't And he was never controversial ever. 2451 02:10:13.039 --> 02:10:13.199 You know. 2452 02:10:13.279 --> 02:10:16.720 He published books. He wrote eleven books, including a couple 2453 02:10:16.760 --> 02:10:20.920 of children's books and books about the water keepers and 2454 02:10:21.119 --> 02:10:25.720 about pollution in New York. And then in two thousand 2455 02:10:25.720 --> 02:10:29.840 and five he strayed to the verbotan topic of health 2456 02:10:29.920 --> 02:10:34.960 and specifically vaccines and autism, and he stumbled upon a 2457 02:10:35.039 --> 02:10:38.680 thing that's called the Simpson Wood Meeting. In two thousand 2458 02:10:38.680 --> 02:10:41.119 and five, he published it in Salon and also in 2459 02:10:41.239 --> 02:10:46.239 Rolling Stone. It was called Deadly Immunity. And suddenly overnight 2460 02:10:46.399 --> 02:10:51.760 he becomes controversial, and they've written books about RFK Junior too, 2461 02:10:51.840 --> 02:10:54.279 de bunk him. They've written articles. If you do a 2462 02:10:54.359 --> 02:10:57.359 research like I did on the Internet, there are far 2463 02:10:57.439 --> 02:11:02.399 more controversial takes on him then there are support.
