WEBVTT 1 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.519 Is it just me or does it feel like a Monday? 2 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.280 I mean I've had to check more than once to 3 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.920 confirm that today is indeed a Thursday. And these holidays, Joe, 4 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.759 I don't know about you, these holidays in the middle 5 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.920 of the week, man, I get my days just completely 6 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:46.920 mixed up, especially after their football That's true. Although we 7 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.960 didn't have the Sugar Bowl yesterday, we might have it tonight. 8 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:53.119 We'll see what happens. 9 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.840 But in any case, it is five am on this 10 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.039 Thursday morning, second day of January twenty twenty five. Happy 11 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.159 New Year to you. I'm Dan Carroll And for Brian Thomas. 12 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:07.959 Is Brian Thomas back tomorrow or Monday? 13 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:09.000 Monday? 14 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.280 So he'll be back Monday. So I get my chance 15 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.000 to sit in one more day and hang out with 16 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:20.959 the with the great Brian Thomas audience. And you know 17 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.480 I walked in. Well, let me start with this. I 18 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.799 got up this morning and whenever I agree to do 19 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.079 this shift. And I've been doing early morning news and 20 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.400 radio for a long time, on and off, more off 21 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.760 than on in the last few years. But I love 22 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.159 coming in here do the early morning shift. I don't 23 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.120 have a problem getting out of bed early in the morning. 24 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.879 But there's always that little bit of that little bit 25 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.840 of apprehension, and I you know, I tell Joe, yeah, 26 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.599 I'm going to come in on this day, and you 27 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.000 know you need me on this day to do for 28 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.879 Brian Thomas show. 29 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:58.400 I'll be there. 30 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.120 There's always that little bit of a thought in the 31 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.280 back of my head, what if I. 32 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.959 Don't wake up on time? What if I don't get up? 33 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:07.359 Joe? 34 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.000 What would you do if I if I didn't show 35 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.199 up here in the you know, early morning. He's got backups. 36 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.199 But I'm thinking. But I always think that, and I 37 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.759 always make doubly sure that my alarm is set that 38 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.199 I know it's kind of going to go off at 39 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:26.080 about three fifteen in the morning and I'm going to 40 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.639 jump out of bed, and that I really don't feel 41 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.759 good about it until it's I don't know, a few 42 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.719 minutes after four o'clock and I'm on the road and 43 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.719 I'm driving to the station, and that's when I know 44 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.800 that this is really going to happen. But there's always 45 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.199 that little thing in the back of I don't know 46 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:41.759 what it is. 47 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:43.759 And I did. 48 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.879 I did a couple of days last week, just one 49 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:51.560 day this week but it's it's always it's always a 50 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.599 little bit of an accomplishment to overcome that. 51 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:54.879 Right. 52 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.919 It's like any New Year's resolution you have anything like that, 53 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.000 the first thing you gotta do is you got to 54 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.319 you got to take that first step. 55 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.199 You got to get started. 56 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.000 That's the hardest part to a lot of these New 57 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.759 Year's resolutions. And I don't really do New Year's resolutions, 58 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.479 although I do have one this year, and that is 59 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.919 the cell phone I have is a it's an Android, 60 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:17.400 it's old. 61 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:25.039 It is starting to swirl the drain. I'll be Joe. 62 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.439 I'm at that point now where I'll look at my 63 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.759 battery life and I'll have one minute, I'll have forty 64 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.960 or forty five percent battery life, and then two minutes 65 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.120 later I've got nothing. And I think that's a pretty 66 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.840 clear indicator that this thing is on its last legs. 67 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.680 So where I used to be able to get away 68 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.520 with charging it up once a day, now it's on 69 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.039 the charger two, three, four times a day. And when 70 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.400 I've got it on the charger, I'm running around the house, 71 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.400 I'm doing other stuff, and I kind of forget about 72 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:58.919 it and I get back and oh my god, I 73 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.879 got text messages, emails, all this stuff, and so people 74 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.639 think I'm not responding to them. 75 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:05.599 But that's me. 76 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.680 I got up this morning, come outside and I look 77 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:15.080 up a crystal clear sky. You see all kinds of stars. 78 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.879 It's brisk, I mean, it's cold, cold enough to get 79 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.199 your attention. And I'm thinking to myself, man, is what 80 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.800 a beautiful morning. It's clear, you can see everything. And 81 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.040 then by the time I got here, cloud cover had 82 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.959 moved in, so we're I mean, and I'm looking at 83 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.600 the forecast and there's there's cloudy, chance of snow, maybe 84 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.800 some snow on the ground, so. 85 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.519 We will get to that in a few minutes. 86 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.319 The other thing is I walk into the studio this 87 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:49.240 morning and on the console here in the studio is 88 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.319 a printed out version of the Festivist Report, and it's 89 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.519 I don't know, probably twenty twenty five pages. 90 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.279 And we talked about this. 91 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.319 I think it came out it was either last week 92 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.079 or late the week before. In any case, I was 93 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.639 thinking to myself, you know, there there's so much stuff 94 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.120 in there. I talked about it on this station, I 95 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.720 talked about it down the hall, and there's so many 96 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.519 things in there that there's no way we covered it 97 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.120 all just it's there's just no way. And I'm thinking 98 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.879 to myself, we should still be talking about that. We 99 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.519 should be examining something like that thoroughly, to talk about 100 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.240 all the waste and everything else that goes on with 101 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.040 this government and how much money is spent on. 102 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.800 Just just garbage. But no, we can't know. 103 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.560 No, we're not talking about that anymore because now we 104 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:52.199 have terrorist attacks to deal with. And if you listen 105 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.199 to the news yesterday, you've got this, uh, this police chief, 106 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.879 Hanny Kirkpatrick, who I didn't know until this morning, used 107 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:03.240 to be the police chief of Oakland. She was fired, 108 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.319 sued the city of Oakland, a jury found that she 109 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.759 was wrongly terminated there, and then if you google headlines 110 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.240 about this police chief, you'll see that she was investigated 111 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.839 earlier this year for hitting a couple of pedestrians while 112 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:25.199 she was driving. So, look, I don't know anything about 113 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.959 the police chief in New Orleans, but is there is 114 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.240 it right to ask questions about the leadership there? I 115 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.920 mean I think so, And especially when you get to 116 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:42.000 the point where you have thousands of people on the 117 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.680 street and you know they're going to be there, and 118 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.639 you can't secure that street. I think we do a 119 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.079 great job of that here in Cincinnati. And I was 120 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.800 thinking of all the events that we have in Cincinnati 121 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.759 where we know there are going to be thousands of 122 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.600 people out on the street. And forget just the regular 123 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.879 events like a Bengals game or a Reds game or 124 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:11.480 a concert downtown. I'm talking about Opening Day, Taste of 125 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:17.639 Cincinnati october Fest. You've been down there when we have 126 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.360 those events, you know what it's like trying to get 127 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.560 in there. I mean there are barricades all over the place, 128 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.120 and getting a vehicle in there, you know it's not 129 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:31.879 going to happen. But somehow in New Orleans on New 130 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.759 Year's Eve. Does anyone think that on New Year's Eve 131 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.800 in New Orleans that there's not going to be people 132 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.079 out on the street on Bourbon Street partying all night long? 133 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.240 Yeah, I would think. 134 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.680 I would think they had a pretty good clue that 135 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.160 that was going to be a pretty busy place and 136 00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.160 that there was a nationally televised football game Notre Dame 137 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.399 and the University of Georgia, thousands of their fans are 138 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.480 going to be in town. Were they likely to be 139 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.399 down on Bourbon Street partying and raising hell, I think so. 140 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.959 And so when you have a national event like this, 141 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:26.079 local police tends to work with federal agencies to provide 142 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.920 security for those events. And so when I get up 143 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.679 and I see the news yesterday morning the ten people 144 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.159 are dead and now the number is fifteen dead of 145 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.919 this dude driving his truck into that crowd, I'm thinking 146 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:47.039 to myself, this is a pretty basic thing for security 147 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.000 is blocking off the streets, making sure vehicles cannot go 148 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:54.919 down those streets. 149 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.960 And that very basic task failed. 150 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.720 And we've got all the you know, all the the 151 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.799 FBI is raise your hand if you're if you're. 152 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.200 If you're feeling good about the FBI investigating this. 153 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.000 Raise your hand if you're convinced that they'll get to 154 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.799 the bottom of this and eventually we'll have all the answers. 155 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.600 When John Kennedy was at that news conference yesterday and 156 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.840 and he said what he said, he said, look, I 157 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.320 want you to do your investigation. He said, he's spoken 158 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:40.720 to the head of Homeland Security, Alejandro Majorcis, who's been 159 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:46.559 lying to us repeatedly for the last four years about 160 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.120 homeland security, the border being secured. Joe Biden being sharp 161 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:57.919 as attack, lie after lie after lie, and Kennedy said, 162 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.200 do your investigation and then tell the American people the truth. 163 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.720 And there's a reason he said that, because he knows 164 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.639 a hell of a lot more about this, about what's 165 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:15.159 really going on than we do. And this is this 166 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.559 is his home turf, and he's not happy about it, 167 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.120 and I'm not happy about it, and you shouldn't be 168 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.279 happy about it, and no one should be happy about it. 169 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.279 I mean, my god, I get up yesterday morning, twenty 170 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.399 twenty five, brand new year is going to be a 171 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:34.879 great year. 172 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.240 Twenty twenty four is in the rear view mirror. Thank god. 173 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.759 This administration of the nightmare of Joe Biden and company 174 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.279 is over. 175 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.639 And we've got a terrorist attack. 176 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.159 We've got the Tesla truck blowing up at Trump Tower 177 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.320 in Las Vegas. I see video of this dude on Joe. 178 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.720 Did you see that video of the dude on the 179 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.559 subway in New York pushing that guy in front of 180 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.879 the train. This is how this year is going to start. 181 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.759 On top of all the aviation stuff we had going 182 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:12.240 on last week, there's a lot to get to. So 183 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.960 we will do that during the course of the morning. 184 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.440 And I hope you can stick around for it. Dan 185 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.960 Hills will be here in the seven o'clock hour and 186 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.600 we'll get his take on security and all the rest 187 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.080 of it. And then our buddy Kurt Hartman will be 188 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.000 joining us in the eight o'clock hour, and there's a 189 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.600 lot of political stuff that I want to get to 190 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.159 with him. Also, the crime numbers are out for the 191 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.720 city of Cincinnati and. 192 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:33.720 We'll touch on that as well. 193 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.679 So a lot of ground to cover this morning, and 194 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.960 I hope you can stick around for Dan Carroll in 195 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:42.519 for Brian Thomas on fifty five krc V talk station. 196 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.279 You paid him. 197 00:11:44.320 --> 00:12:02.159 It's no Joe's asking me if I'm in the twilight 198 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:03.639 z on I'm just listening to this music. 199 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:10.440 I like this music. We might be in the twilight zone. 200 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.240 It's Stan Carroll and for Brian Thomas. 201 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.600 One of the websites I go to every day is 202 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:22.039 John Solomon's site, Just the Just the News. A great 203 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.080 reporting there, and they put this piece up this morning. 204 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.759 A year before a twin New Year's Day incidents in 205 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.799 New Orleans and Las Vegas dark in the start of 206 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.879 twenty twenty five, the Department of Homeland Security commissioned a 207 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.600 study that warrened America was facing a new era of 208 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:44.519 terrorism and was ill prepared to protect citizens from that threat. 209 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.000 Attacks on soft targets and crowded places represent a significant 210 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:55.600 challenge to the security environment. RAN Corporation's Homeland Security Operational 211 00:12:55.639 --> 00:13:00.320 Analysis Center reported to the agency, urging a signific could 212 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.320 change in posture for a security apparatus that spent two 213 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.960 decades hardening defense against the sort of foreign inspired and 214 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.360 spectacular attacks that al Qaeda pulled off on September eleventh, 215 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:17.480 twenty twenty one, rather than flying planes in the hardened 216 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.600 security targets of major institutions like the Pentagon or the 217 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.559 World Trade Center towers. A growing number of foreign inspired 218 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:29.159 or domestic grown terrorists and mass shooters have deployed low 219 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:35.919 level tactics, vehicles, improvised explosive devices, and guns, And weren't 220 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.399 all three of those used yesterday in that attack Fox 221 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:45.159 News and I guess there's some question this morning about 222 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.559 whether or not they really did find the ied So 223 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.159 Fox News was reporting yesterday the two of them had 224 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:56.039 been disabled. But we'll see if that reporting continues about 225 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.679 the possible IEDs that were discovered in and around the 226 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.480 scene there and I guess that's why they canceled the 227 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.960 game yesterday, because they weren't sure if the Supernome was 228 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:11.080 being targeted as well. But I go back to the 229 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.919 report vehicles, IEDs and guns on targets with less security 230 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:20.519 but still house large numbers of potential human victims. Drivers 231 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.840 in Wisconsin in twenty twenty two Germany in twenty twenty 232 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:29.240 two plowed through Christmas Day gatherings with extreme wethought consequences. 233 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.120 Shooters from Buffalo, New York, to Charleston, South Carolina, Orlando, Florida, 234 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:39.879 San Bernardino, California claimed numerous victims by focusing on stores, schools, 235 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.159 houses of worship that have lower security postures. Plots the 236 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.159 plant improvised explosive devices multiplied in the last decade to 237 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.000 just a news review of ten years a mass casualty 238 00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:00.399 incident showed. Meanwhile, such soft targets have been provided little 239 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:07.039 training and security guidance. Rand warned, So this report came 240 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:13.080 out a year ago, and where was Homeland Security on this? 241 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.120 Maybe they were working with local departments. Dan Hills might 242 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.879 have some insight on that. We will find out. We 243 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.080 know they've been very concerned about diversity and equity and inclusion. 244 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.679 We are fully aware of that. We know they've been 245 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:39.639 busy gaslighting about what's happening at the border. We know 246 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:44.480 they have concerned themselves with making sure illegal aliens in 247 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:49.480 this country get treated as kindly as they possibly can. 248 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.080 That's the kind we know that. You know they've been 249 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:58.080 telling us that Joe Biden's sharp as attack. But when 250 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.440 the serious business of what they are suppose to be 251 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.840 doing confronts them, what happens? 252 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.000 Then? 253 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:12.639 Anyone, anyone got a clue on that? We found little, 254 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.200 specifically on how to secure open spaces and non secured 255 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.480 buildings that almost by definition do not have more intensive 256 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.960 security measures. The report warned. What little is present sometimes 257 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.399 includes surveillance cameras and other sensors for areas that have 258 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.960 shot detection. The only reliable security measures present, however, is 259 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:37.679 the bystanders themselves. The bystanders themselves are our security measures. 260 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:42.240 There's a little bit more to this, but we got 261 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:43.720 to get to a quick break here, so we will 262 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.360 go ahead and. 263 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:44.759 Do that now. 264 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:50.480 But the one thing that and Joe, I haven't seen 265 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.559 all the reporting on this yet. Has the FBI come 266 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.840 out yet and said this guy was on our radar. Okay, 267 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.440 we know he was in the army. They made a 268 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.399 big deal yesterday about him being a citizen of the 269 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.200 United States. I don't think Donald Trump helped anything with 270 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.559 the statement that he put out. Uh, he's I mean, 271 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:16.680 he's just got a coolest jets sometimes when it comes 272 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.160 to attaching everything to the border. So I think that 273 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.000 was a little bit of a misstep by the Trumpster. 274 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.920 So now we'll continue on with this. And I'm just 275 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.400 really angry about this about how this whole thing could 276 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.359 come to pass. Five one, three, seven, fifty five hundred 277 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.200 the number to call if you want to get on board. 278 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.279 Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRCV talk station. 279 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.200 I am sick. 280 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:55.279 Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krc I've been 281 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.279 talking about this report, and justin news that the RAM 282 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.920 Corporation put out a report over a year ago talking 283 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:06.039 about soft targets exactly like what happened in New Orleans, 284 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.119 and they write that the report was as academic as 285 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.240 it was prescient. On Wednesday, police said an Army veteran 286 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.839 apparently radicalized to support ISIS, drove his vehicle bearing an 287 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:23.559 ISIS flag into the crowd in the French Quarter, New Orleans, 288 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:28.559 where scorers were celebrating New Year's Eve, claiming fifteen lives 289 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.640 and injuring many more. The driver, forty two year old 290 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.000 Sam should Ding Jabbar of Texas, came armed with guns 291 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.759 to shoot officers, had explosives both inside his car and 292 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:47.400 planted in the neighborhood he targeted. FBI says its terror attack, 293 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.079 and they believe others still uncaptured, assisted it. 294 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:52.799 Well. 295 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.599 I certainly hope that. 296 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.480 Those who were also involved in this are looking over 297 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.039 their soul at the very least this morning, and I 298 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.000 certainly hope that we find out during the course of 299 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:10.880 the day today that these individuals have been apprehended. The 300 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.599 FBI said it was a terror attack, and let me see, 301 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.079 I already already talked about that. I meanwhile, another driver 302 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.880 pulled up to the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and 303 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.000 detonated a rented Tesla cyber truck filled with fireworks and 304 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.640 explosive materials, killing one and injuring seven. And that is 305 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.519 a very strange thing that I think is going on there. 306 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.160 And I saw a picture of the back of that truck, 307 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.400 and you can see that some of the there were 308 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.279 fuel containers in there, what they call camping fuel and 309 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:53.079 left over fireworks, So I don't know why. Maybe that's 310 00:19:53.200 --> 00:20:00.480 a basic terrorist explosive device is just load up a 311 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.599 bit of a pickup truck with all kinds of fireworks 312 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.839 and watch it go boom. 313 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.319 I don't know. I have to find out more about that. 314 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.079 FBI said they're trying to determine if the terrorist attack 315 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.240 is related to the one in New Orleans. Both drivers 316 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:24.759 rented from the same rental company, heightening concerns. Whatever the 317 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:28.000 final outcome, the incident's reaffirmed that soft targets remain soft 318 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.880 and easily accessed, creating potential catastrophic opportunities for bad actors 319 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.319 when they are crowded like a hotel or a public 320 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:42.839 celebration for a New Year's holiday. The vulnerabilities, coupled with 321 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.119 four years of an insecure border under Joe Biden and 322 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.359 liberal defund the police movement in big cities has created 323 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:54.680 a perfect storm, one lawmaker told Just the News. With 324 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:58.920 the Democrats defund the police and overboard open borders policy fiascos, 325 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.440 it was always just ann matter of time before America 326 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.799 would experience these terrorist type of attacks that Senator Ron 327 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.920 Johnson of Wisconsin, a member of the Senate Homeland Security 328 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:16.079 Committee soon to be chairman of that investigative body. Johnson's 329 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:19.079 home state experienced the Christmas Parade massacre carried out by 330 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.240 a driver in twenty twenty two, and Waukesha is worn 331 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:28.039 for years that America has too many soft targets. President 332 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:31.440 Trump has some major Democrat created messes to clean up, 333 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:36.000 he added. The question of local police capabilities has already 334 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:42.279 surfaced in the New Orleans strategy, where officials admitted security 335 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.039 barriers known as ballards that were intended to protect pedestrians 336 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:52.160 for vehicles had been temporarily removed and were to be 337 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:57.640 replaced because they malfunctioned at times before the attacker drove 338 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:04.079 through Bourbon Street shortly after three am. Ballards were not 339 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.400 up because they are near completion, with the expectation of 340 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:13.160 being completed before the Super Bowl. Mayor LaToya Cantrell admitted 341 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:23.079 Wednesday afternoon, So for some reason, these ballards, which are 342 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:28.119 essentially posts in the ground, Joe, Joe, they do google 343 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.480 ballards right now and see what you come up with, 344 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.599 and you'll see picture after picture after picture of what 345 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:42.839 essentially is a post in the ground and you're and 346 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.319 you're telling me that that that these things, Well, if 347 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.799 you have several of them in one location, and I've 348 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.200 seen them downtown. They've got them in front of the 349 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.880 h what's the new Music's the Brady Music Center down there, 350 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:01.920 and there's other facilities downtown that have them, and you 351 00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:03.640 can take them in the ground, you can put them in, 352 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:09.839 you can take them out. They weren't working, Joe, Does 353 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.759 it looked like there's a lot of moving parts to 354 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:12.319 a ballard. 355 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:14.880 No. 356 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:20.480 No, So this excuse doesn't make any sense to me. 357 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.680 Let's see, the lack of barriers and the ease the 358 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.240 driver found in driving into the French Quarter is particularly alarming, 359 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.359 you think, given that the city is hosting, or was hosting, 360 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.920 a major college championship football game, the Sugar Bowl, on 361 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.720 Wednesday night, and the Super Bowl is only a month 362 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:49.640 a month away, there's obviously a lot of blame to 363 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.119 go around for this terrorist attack in New Orleans. Former 364 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.759 CIA analyst National Security Council Chief Fred Fletts told just 365 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.640 The News security barriers in the street that were put 366 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.319 in place to prevent this type of attack, we're not activated. 367 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.599 That's the fault of New Orleans police and officials. I 368 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:13.599 can't imagine that. And I'm going to talk to Dan 369 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.200 Hills about this in a seven o'clock hour that if 370 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:20.920 we had a major event in Cincinnati and whatever devices 371 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.240 they use to put in place to blog, because there's 372 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.400 all kinds of things they use to block off streets 373 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:35.039 that you couldn't figure out another way to block off 374 00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.960 access to vehicles of these streets. This is, to me, 375 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.599 is beyond comprehension. And I hate to criticize police. I 376 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:48.960 love police. I have family members who are police, and 377 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.400 I hate to criticize them, but this is, to my 378 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.640 way of thinking, this is this is right, This is leadership. 379 00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.799 This is a failure of leadership. And I'm very upset 380 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.759 ab this, and I know a lot of others are too. 381 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.519 John is on the line. We'll get to John's call 382 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.480 right after this. As we roll on till nine o'clock 383 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.039 this morning, Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas on fifty 384 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:11.519 five k RC, The Talk Station. 385 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.640 Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, Dan Carroll ford Bryan 386 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:23.279 Thomas talking. 387 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.440 About this piece and just the news, looking at what 388 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:31.200 happened in New Orleans yesterday and talking about thet the 389 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.720 Rand Corporation that put out a report a year ago 390 00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:38.640 talking about soft targets just like this and that the 391 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:43.160 type of vulnerability vulnerabilities that we have there. And John 392 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.440 from Cincinnati would like to weigh in. And John, good morning. 393 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.640 You're on fifty five KRC. 394 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.319 Yeah, good morning, Dan. 395 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:51.759 What you got for us? 396 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:52.079 John? 397 00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:55.960 Turn your radio down? 398 00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.319 And you got to get off the speaker all right, 399 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:04.759 hold on, hold on, Joe, get them off the speakerphone. 400 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.759 My god, that calls us all kinds of havoc. Now, 401 00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:10.440 johnn you want to call back, that's fine, but you 402 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.240 got to go off the speakerphone. Uh, let's see. All right, 403 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:17.880 John is back now John, John, did you get here? 404 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:20.720 He goes round two. Let's make this real quick. I 405 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:25.920 have enjoyed your list about you know, the FBI's concerns, 406 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.880 but you left out, you know what about January sixth. 407 00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:32.359 They sure could be concerned about that and track down 408 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.680 all those innocent people that were only protesting for their 409 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.680 civil rights and their liberties and doing exactly what they 410 00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.000 had the right to do as red blooded Americans. We 411 00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.200 could start right there. Okay, now we can move. We 412 00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.000 can all we could right remember that? Or what about 413 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.559 at the schools, you know, when the FBI were there 414 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.799 because the mothers are protesting against the trans agenda. Do 415 00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:57.720 you remember that. 416 00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:01.960 Well, John, I mean the these government agencies have spent 417 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:06.319 a lot of time concentrating in these areas when you 418 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:09.519 have people's lives. I was talking to a guy yesterday 419 00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:13.640 who got a visit from the Secret Service after he 420 00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.000 dared to speak out at his school board meeting. And so, yeah, 421 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:20.640 we've wasted a lot of time and effort tracking down 422 00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:24.559 American citizens who did nothing more than exercise their First 423 00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.119 Amendment rights. So a lot of time, effort, and money 424 00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.119 and attention was wasted on these efforts, and things like 425 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.839 this are somehow able to slip through the cracks, and 426 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.359 this morning we have fifteen dead people to show for it. 427 00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.440 And John, thank you very much for that call. Let's 428 00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:47.319 get back to what mister Flight said here, the former 429 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:51.400 CIA analyst was talking about this. He says, the Biden 430 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.559 administration has admitted at least two hundred and fifty of 431 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:58.200 the known migrants that were on the US terrorist list. 432 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:01.319 I believe a much more larger number of terrorists enter 433 00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:06.359 the country as illegal immigrants or illegal migrants across the 434 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.720 southern border in twenty twenty one. We also have a 435 00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:14.160 Homeland Security Department, an FBI that has lumped radical Islamist terrorists, 436 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:18.640 a non politically correct term government employees are forbidden to 437 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.359 use with peaceful protesters, such as parents who attended PTA meetings, 438 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.960 pro life protesters, and the January sixth protesters. So exactly 439 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:32.079 what John was talking about right there, Homeland Security, FBI, 440 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.480 they spent a lot of time looking at people like this. 441 00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:40.680 Not to mention the Department of Defense that. 442 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:47.480 The day that this secretary, this Secretary of Defense, Lloyd 443 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.240 Austin came in, what's the first thing he did, Well, 444 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.359 we've got to stand down. We've got to investigate and 445 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:58.000 find these white racist radicals in the ranks of the 446 00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:02.960 United States military. And yet a guy like this who 447 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:08.079 was in the military apparently didn't raise a red flag, 448 00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:12.160 didn't raise a concern. We'll find out later more about 449 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.680 this dude that drove the ten. Thankfully he's dead now, 450 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.960 but Flight says he's very concerned the Biden administration and 451 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:27.759 their mismanagement of our homeland security agencies. Senator John Kennedy, 452 00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:31.079 who was briefed on the New Orleans they call it 453 00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:35.160 a tragedy, and I'm not sure the use of that 454 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:40.079 word is right or appropriate here. He suggested Americans will 455 00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:45.200 be more alarmed when all the details are eventually made public. 456 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.039 Here's what I want to ask for from the federal government, 457 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.880 Kennedy said, catch these people and then tell the American 458 00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:54.319 people the truth. I don't want you to tell us 459 00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:58.119 anything yet that's going to interfere with the investigation. And 460 00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:00.400 he said, there are things I've been told that I 461 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.200 think are true that I'm not sharing with you today 462 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:08.880 because it could interfere with the investigation. But more importantly, 463 00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:11.640 and you can read And I was when I heard 464 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.759 him say this yesterday. I was thinking, Man, there's a 465 00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.039 lot to read between the lines there when he says, 466 00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.079 tell the American people the truth. And I think the 467 00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.759 one thing you can say about this administration, from top 468 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:28.200 to bottom, through and through, is that the time that 469 00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.599 this administration has been in office, we have not been 470 00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:35.160 told the truth, not only about stuff like this, but 471 00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.920 about anything, anything. 472 00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:43.119 And this is what we have to show for Joe. 473 00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:45.519 Did I miss a break here? Did we have to? Okay, 474 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.440 let's get a break in here. Then we'll talk to Pat. 475 00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:49.720 If you want to get on board five one, three, seven, 476 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:52.799 four nine, fifty five hundred, Dan Carrol, Brian Thomas, fifty 477 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.160 five KRCV talks. 478 00:30:53.960 --> 00:31:05.240 Days the Days of Relaxing in the jew one fifty 479 00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:11.599 five krc DE Talk Station.

Pat, You're on fifty five krc Good morning. 487 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:46.759 Good morning, Mike. I'm sorry, Dance. I wanted to put 488 00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:50.119 my two cents. We're saying about, you know, back when 489 00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:53.000 the World Trade Center got blown up that one time, 490 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:58.440 well the summer before two thousand and one, I was 491 00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:02.400 up there for a meeting, and their driveway going down 492 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.680 into the U the bottom of the tower there where 493 00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.400 they go into the garage, they had one of these 494 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:11.039 They had one of these things up where it looked 495 00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:13.680 like little teeth, but they were sticking up out of 496 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.599 the ground. There were solid metal and they were sharp 497 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.519 and if he tried to drive over it was about 498 00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:20.440 a foot up in the air. 499 00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:23.599 It would a slice your tires a piece of tires. 500 00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.000 Yeah, I've seen yeah, Yeah. 501 00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.240 If they hear something like that where you know, you could, 502 00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:31.599 I mean, people would have to you know. It would 503 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.920 be one of those deals where they would push push 504 00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.640 a button and if somebody was going down the street 505 00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.480 like that in that car, if those things came up, 506 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:40.640 he wouldn't get very far. 507 00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.720 Well, you would think, you would, you would think, and 508 00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:44.680 I would think. 509 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:48.279 Look, I'm not a security expert, but when it comes 510 00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:50.880 to securing an area like that and that they if 511 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.960 someone came to me and said, Dan, you're in charge 512 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:57.279 of security for this event. It's New Year's Eve, the 513 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.240 French Quarter going to be thousands of people out here. 514 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:03.559 Here's Bourbon Street, here's you know all the look. I 515 00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:07.440 have never been to New Orleans. I feel bad to 516 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:09.599 say that, but I've never been there, so you know, 517 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.240 I don't have, uh, you know, what it looks like 518 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.519 in my mind. But if I was there, that's one 519 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:17.359 of the things, that's one of the that's probably the 520 00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:20.119 area where I would start. Let's figure out how we 521 00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.799 block these streets. Off, there's no way I want any 522 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:27.480 vehicular traffic coming in here from you know whatever. It 523 00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.559 is five o'clock the day before until noon the next day, 524 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:32.640 and we are going to make sure that there's no 525 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:35.119 way to get a car in here. And if if 526 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.319 I if I think there's an area that's vulnerable, guess 527 00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:41.880 what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have armed police there 528 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:47.359 keeping watch on those areas. And were they there? Were 529 00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.559 they not? I don't know. So I mean these things 530 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.480 and and you know, when Dan Hills is here in 531 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:56.160 the seven o'clock hour, I'm gonna run those things by 532 00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.599 him and get his take on those things. 533 00:33:58.920 --> 00:33:59.839 But Pat, I think it very. 534 00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:02.599 Much for that call squeeze one morning here before we 535 00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:04.599 get to the break leading up to the news here 536 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.319 at the top of the hour. 537 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:07.519 This is Jay. Jay, you run fifty five k RC 538 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:10.320 Hey J. 539 00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.159 Jay, Hello, I get I know he's there. His phone's 540 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:18.440 not working.

Just 542 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.880 be good, you know, maybe call back after the news 543 00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.760 here at the top of the hour.

I've called this over 587 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.559 a year ago. See, this is like such an eight people. 588 00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:58.960 You get him into a nice place, the government's paying 589 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.280 for it, and then what they have to get kicked out? 590 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:05.360 They ramsacked the place. Okay, this is this is just 591 00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.159 the beginning of what's gonna happen, and it's going to 592 00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:12.280 get worse once Trump starts rolding these people up there, 593 00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:14.719 they can get gun. They're going to go in and 594 00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:19.679 slaughter as many people as they can. That's that's that's coming. Well, 595 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:20.960 this is just a beginning. 596 00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:24.039 Wait wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Bill, 597 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.159 who's gonna slaughter who? 598 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:28.119 Okay? 599 00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:32.159 All these people that's here? Looking at what we've got 600 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:36.320 over twenty three thousand male Chinese here, We've got people 601 00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.920 from Iran. These are people out here that want to 602 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:41.679 be Americans. They're coming here to do as much destruction 603 00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.440 as they can. And Trump was right he said we 604 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:48.000 got an internal problem, and it's true. Once they start 605 00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:50.920 rounding up these people, they're going to do as much 606 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:54.719 damage as they can until they get kicked out or 607 00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:56.719 sent back, or they get they get killed. 608 00:37:56.840 --> 00:38:00.599 All right, Well, Bill, I appreciate the appreciate the phone call, 609 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:02.360 and I appreciate the inside on that. I don't know 610 00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:06.159 if it's going to be that bad. But look, I've 611 00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:10.000 talked to Tom Homan. I've seen him interviewed on numerous occasions. 612 00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:13.039 I've got a pretty good feeling that he is going 613 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.320 to be on top of this. And is it going 614 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:18.320 to be pretty No, it's not. Is there going to 615 00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:19.559 be some ugliness involved? 616 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:20.039 I think so? 617 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.119 Are Is there going to be a blood bath? I 618 00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.320 certainly do not think that is going to happen, and 619 00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:31.000 I certainly hope it does not happen. 620 00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:32.000 Do we need to be. 621 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.440 Prepared for something along those lines, Absolutely, without a doubt, 622 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:45.039 without question. But I'm not really going to entertain ideas 623 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:48.639 that it's a given that these things are going to 624 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.280 come to pass. If they do, then I'll own it. 625 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.920 Then I'll you know, I'll admit I was wrong about that. 626 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.559 But no, Bill, I appreciate the phone call, but I'm 627 00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:05.199 just not ready to go down that road yet. Donald 628 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.719 Trump is. And I want to say this about the 629 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:10.920 New York Post. The New York Post is when I 630 00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:14.360 do show prep for these radio shows that in the 631 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:19.920 New York Post is an indispensable website. You find so 632 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.039 much great reporting there. And I'm talking about reporting that 633 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:29.000 is that is bold, that is unafraid, that really has 634 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:35.760 an allegiance to neither conservative or liberals. I mean they 635 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.039 does it have a conservative bent, I think, without a doubt. 636 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:43.880 But when conservatives are in the wrong, are they afraid 637 00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:49.400 to call that out? Absolutely not. And so the New 638 00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.239 York Post is it gets cited in a lot of 639 00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.280 different places, and then you go there and you see 640 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:56.760 this on your own, Joe, you probably look at the 641 00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:59.239 New York Post on a regular basis, do you know, yeah, 642 00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.760 all the time. I mean just and and a lot 643 00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.119 of times you find information and reporting in there that 644 00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:07.679 you do not see anywhere else. 645 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:09.320 And so the. 646 00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:18.280 The Editorial Board put out a piece talking about journalists 647 00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:23.400 who've been gaslighting the United States since Biden administration has 648 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:24.039 been in office. 649 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:27.280 Should never live it down. That's the that's the title 650 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:27.760 of the piece. 651 00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.840 And they talk about a video that was posted the 652 00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:36.599 Trump's True social media account that shows clips of Democrat 653 00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:41.000 leaders denying to the media that Biden was mentally ill. 654 00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:47.719 And he posted the video on Monday showing and it 655 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.440 starts with Carine John Pierre. You've got Alejandro Majorcis in there. 656 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:57.719 You've got Nancy Pelosi in there, You've got that that 657 00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:02.239 full Chris Coons in there. You've got Bernie Sanders in there, 658 00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:06.079 You've got Chuck Schumer in there, all of them talking 659 00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:13.000 about how great and wonderful Joe Biden is. And luckily 660 00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:14.960 I was able to find the clip this morning. Joe 661 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.239 Strecker has it. And Joe, let's go ahead. I believe 662 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:20.239 that's cut number four. Let's play that now.

He's running circles around, really, And 734 00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:09.079 so the New York Post starts with this video and 735 00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:12.960 they go on to talk about every last person in 736 00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:17.599 that video deserves scorn, But so do the journalists who 737 00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:22.960 not only let these fanatical FIBs go unchallenged, but even. 738 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:27.760 Parroted the lies and it started off with Caryn John Pierre. 739 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.880 They're doing an interview with Don Lemon, who you used 740 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:34.440 to be with CNN, and he's one of those so 741 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:38.119 called journalists that was more than happy to parrot these lies. 742 00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:42.480 So we'll get into this editorial from the New York Post, 743 00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:43.920 but we got to get to a quick break here, 744 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.119 so we will go ahead and do that. But I mean, 745 00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:52.960 it's and they're absolutely right. These people deserve all the 746 00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:56.519 scorn that we can possibly heap upon them. Six fifteen 747 00:45:56.599 --> 00:46:00.199 Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC Talk 748 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.159 Station fifty five car the talk station. Don't start the 749 00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:07.480 new year with the same old joint pain the nine 750 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:11.760 first warning forecast mostly cloudy today, a seasonal high about 751 00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.159 thirty eight, then some light snow expected to start tonight. 752 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.079 Good accumulate to between half an inch and one inch 753 00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:21.920 by tomorrow morning. By around eight am. We're talking about 754 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:26.440 the overnight load twenty eight. Party cloudy on Friday, thirty 755 00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:29.440 three for the high. Turning really cold Friday and Saturday 756 00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:32.800 with an overnight low of eighteen. So it looks like 757 00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:36.440 wintertime maybe here. It is thirty two at fifty five KARC. 758 00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:38.599 The talk station from the. 759 00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:39.599 Ucl Traffic Center. 760 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:42.280 The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center is the region's first 761 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.679 and only provider a specialized primary care services for cancer 762 00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:48.639 patients and survivors called five one three five eighty five 763 00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:52.280 U see see see highway tramping continues to look good 764 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.880 for your Thursday morning. No accidents to deal with, nothing 765 00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.719 close to a delay as of yet, under five minutes 766 00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:02.960 to seventy five town on northbound fourth seventy one Chuck 767 00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:06.079 ingramand fifty five care see deep talk station. 768 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:18.840 And a good Thursday morning to you. 769 00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:22.239 It feels like a Monday after the New Year's holiday, 770 00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:27.800 but it is a Thursday, and it's the second day 771 00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:29.960 of January. 772 00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:30.440 Twenty twenty five. 773 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:34.679 I'm taking a look at this New York Post piece 774 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:41.000 and the editorial board talking about journalists who just rode 775 00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:45.599 the Biden train, lying to us the entire way. And 776 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:48.360 we just played the clip from Donald Trump that his 777 00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:52.599 people put out on his True Social earlier this week, 778 00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:57.199 and it is just a clip after clip of Carrin, 779 00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:03.599 John Pierre, Alejandro Mayorkis, various Democrat senators. Joe Biden is great, 780 00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:09.880 and they and they're going after the journalists who just 781 00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:15.159 parroted these claims and passed them on as as as fact, 782 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.880 and anyone who daresaid otherwise was a right wing conspiracy theorist. 783 00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:23.719 They write. 784 00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:26.760 The entire idea that Biden was anything but healthy, virile 785 00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:30.000 even was treated as right wing tinfoil hat talking points. 786 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.280 The public wasn't buying it. Back in February, eighty six 787 00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:37.280 percent of Americans thought Biden was too old to serve 788 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:41.360 a second term because they had watched his decline happen 789 00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:45.440 in real time and over the course of several years. 790 00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:50.280 Back in twenty twenty two, seventy five percent of Democrat 791 00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:54.599 voters wanted someone other than Biden to run in twenty 792 00:48:54.719 --> 00:49:01.880 twenty four. Somehow that was all forgotten about when Biden 793 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:03.679 said that he was going to run again for a 794 00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:05.320 second term, and he was going to Oh, he's the 795 00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:07.960 only one that can beat Trump. Ah, he's remember when 796 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:14.559 he said that. And I've had so many people make 797 00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.159 the same observation that I've made on this is that 798 00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:19.639 Jill Biden is the one who was really driving that train. 799 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.920 I think Jill Biden is the one, more than anyone else, 800 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:27.280 who did not want to surrender that lifestyle. I think 801 00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:29.760 she likes being the first lady. I think she likes 802 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:34.039 all the accouterma that comes with it. After all these 803 00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.119 years being in proximity to power, to finally have that 804 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:42.400 at your disposal is a powerful, powerful thing, and she 805 00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:47.159 in no way wanted to give that up. You know, 806 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:54.159 chiseling millions from China and Russia and Ukraine and all 807 00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:57.159 these other things, and you know, doing all that, that's 808 00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:59.920 I guess there's a certain kind of thrill to all that. 809 00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:04.920 But even that can't match up to the power of 810 00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:09.480 the presidency in the White House. But I digress. Let 811 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:09.800 me see. 812 00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:14.719 The Biden's fine charade continued even after Spencer Special counsel 813 00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:17.239 Robert Hurr said a jury would see Biden as an 814 00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:20.840 elderly man with a poor memory, and Biden himself began 815 00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:23.760 repeatedly calling world leaders by names. 816 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:27.639 Of their dead predecessors and who remembers. 817 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.679 When that Robert Hurr report came out and it talked 818 00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:36.199 about the the severely diminished state that Biden was in, 819 00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:40.800 and it was evident during the during the depositions going on, 820 00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:45.679 then if that would have been any other president, if 821 00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:47.559 that would have been Donald Trump, that would have been 822 00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:51.679 a major, major news story that would not have gone away. 823 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:56.079 But yet the the you know, the left wing media 824 00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:57.599 in this country just looks at that and says it 825 00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:00.920 just shrugged their shoulders at it, no big deal. The 826 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:04.000 White House smeared all video proof of Biden's decline as 827 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.000 cheap fakes and edited transcripts to erase signs of his 828 00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:13.599 constant memory issues. And I remember when these things were 829 00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:15.599 happening in real time, I was bringing them up with 830 00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.519 different guests I would have on seem to me, that's 831 00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:21.639 kind of a big deal. When the White House goes 832 00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:26.840 in and edits official transcripts of what the president said. 833 00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:31.400 These are historical documents of the words that the President 834 00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:37.199 said in meetings, during speeches, any other event. Anytime the 835 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:42.000 President speaks, those words are recorded, and those words are 836 00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:46.079 now forever changed because of what the White House and 837 00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:49.159 the staff did there to do, what to cover up 838 00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:54.840 for what we all obviously saw and heard. Let's see, 839 00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.239 at every turn, spineless in the tank, journalists obediently did 840 00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:03.480 team by propagandist dirty work right up until the debate 841 00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:10.119 when Biden's sinility became too unmistakable to continue denying. Now 842 00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:13.320 they're acting bashful, but it's far too late to salvage 843 00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:19.639 their shredded credibility. XMSNBC host Mehdi Hassan says he was 844 00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:23.360 embarrassingly wrong to say Republicans will regret helping spread the 845 00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:26.960 distorted image of Biden as a guy who was totally 846 00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.760 out of it. Leading up to the debate, progressive journalist 847 00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:34.360 Matt Iglesis said he thought Biden was going to prove 848 00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:37.960 his doubters wrong. Is it better or worse if they 849 00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:42.719 actually believed it? Democrat friendly journalists saw the same evidence 850 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:45.400 as the rest of us that Biden was compromised, and 851 00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:50.599 instead of being skeptical asking questions putting the White House's 852 00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:55.000 feet to the fire doing their jobs, they joined the 853 00:52:55.119 --> 00:53:02.000 crusade to gaslight America. Secretary of Caroline Levitt says she 854 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:06.719 intends to change to change up who gets preferred access 855 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:11.119 to the White House briefings, allowing for non traditional voices 856 00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:16.440 like podcasters. Since legacy media completely unwilfully failed to cover 857 00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:19.599 one of the biggest stories of the decade that the 858 00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:23.199 President of the United States was unfit for office from 859 00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:26.760 day one and his entire staff was hiding it. That 860 00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:31.039 seems like a fair shake. No one who perpetrated, concealed, 861 00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:35.280 or ignored this growth test scandal should ever live it down. 862 00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:38.960 And the New York Post is right on the money 863 00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:39.880 with all of that. 864 00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:42.719 Six twenty six, A little late for a break, Dan 865 00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:47.480 Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs DE talk station, The. 866 00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:49.840 Truth and Nothing. 867 00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:54.239 But this is Sean Hannity Morning Minute. 868 00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:58.039 And I said this last night, legacy media, And I 869 00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:00.920 said journalism is dead.

And Donald Trump has defied 875 00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:30.559 every one of those critics. And he's he's still stun 876 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:35.639 only standing, he's standing triumphantly. I mean, it really is 877 00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:37.039 an incredible thing. 878 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:39.800 Keeping you on the straight path. 879 00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:43.119 Later today it's the Sean Hannity Show. 880 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:49.519 All right, Ready for a home upgrade without the hassle.

A 906 00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:19.920 well known South African game hunter dies after elephant falls 907 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:25.239 on him. A well known South African game hunter died 908 00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:28.239 after an elephant, ravaged by gunshots collapsed on him at 909 00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:32.719 a Zimbabwe animal reserve. While on a ten day hunting 910 00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:35.639 expedition with several clients, fifty one year old big game 911 00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:41.599 hunter Atheneus Bota unknowingly came across the herd of breeding 912 00:56:41.639 --> 00:56:47.719 elephants near the Hawaang National Park. A spokesman so told 913 00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:51.840 the Associated Press the group spooped the herd and three 914 00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:57.559 elephant cows immediately charged at them, prompting both open fire 915 00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:01.440 on the animals. Now, if this guy is such an 916 00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:07.559 expert and has spent so much time in this area, 917 00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:11.519 how do they unknowingly come across the herd of elephants 918 00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:15.599 that is breeding. A fourth cow stormed at the group 919 00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:19.079 from the side, lifting Botha up with his trunk. One 920 00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:21.400 of the members of the group fired shots at the elephants, 921 00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:24.920 causing at the elephant, causing the animal to collapse on 922 00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:30.840 both the crushing him to death. Both and his wife 923 00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:36.400 Carique ran me Botha's big safari since nineteen eighty three. 924 00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:40.880 With private hunting ranches in South Africa. Mozambique and Zimbabwe 925 00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:47.280 both attatted his perfection of traditional European style driven hunts 926 00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:50.079 in South Africa, which used hounds to round up big 927 00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:52.440 game four hunter clients. 928 00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:58.119 I gotta say, I don't have a problem with this. 929 00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:02.119 I I am not anti hunting. 930 00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:04.159 I am. 931 00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:08.599 This story reminds me of a video that I saw 932 00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:11.440 several years ago. And Joe, I don't know if you 933 00:58:11.480 --> 00:58:14.119 saw this video, but there was a couple that was 934 00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:18.039 out there, I suppose in Africa, and they were on 935 00:58:18.119 --> 00:58:21.320 a hunting trip and they had taken down a male 936 00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:25.320 lion looked like a you know, a really mature male lion, 937 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:28.480 and so they're setting up their camera and you can 938 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:32.159 and there and there you can see their video and 939 00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:35.760 they're setting up their camera to get a selfie with 940 00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:38.400 themselves and the and the lion that they had taken down. 941 00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:44.480 And so they're they're, you know, they're scrambling around, moving around, 942 00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:46.239 getting this picture all set up, and all of a sudden, 943 00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:50.079 they look off to their side and they're questioning what 944 00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:54.480 is that? Was there something over there? And from the 945 00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.199 side of the frame you see a lion come charging 946 00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:04.199 in and jump on these two hunters, and I believe 947 00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:07.719 that lion killed both of them. I think the I 948 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:11.199 think the story was is that it may have been 949 00:59:11.239 --> 00:59:15.079 the brother of the lion that they killed, or the 950 00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:18.199 lion that took them out was a relative of the 951 00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:22.320 lion that they killed. But big game hunting like this, 952 00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:27.039 going out and shooting elephants, going out and shooting lions, 953 00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:32.119 these magnificent animals and that roam the planes of Africa. 954 00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:37.079 Never been a fan of that. Don't understand it. I 955 00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:41.719 don't think do people kill lions and elephants to survive? 956 00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:44.840 Do they do? 957 00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:49.079 They they need to eat those things for survival. 958 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:53.440 I don't equate that with people who go out and 959 00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:57.800 hunting big game, uh you know, elk and and these 960 00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:02.239 other animals out in the the great western Great Northwest 961 01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:06.320 of the United States. I just don't equate that it's 962 01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:09.360 the same thing. Maybe maybe I'm missing the boat there, 963 01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:13.920 but it, you know, just this going out for the 964 01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:15.920 sake of the hunt and the sake of taking down 965 01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:19.480 one of these magnificent creatures just something that never appealed 966 01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:22.280 to me. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. 967 01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:26.000 Maybe there's some benefit that I don't see from it. 968 01:00:27.159 --> 01:00:29.960 But I just it just kind of it's the whole, 969 01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:32.679 that whole notion of doing that just sort of rubs 970 01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:36.239 me the wrong way and my way of my way 971 01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:39.559 of thinking going out, you know, hunting deer or rabbits 972 01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:44.639 or squirrel here in Ohio or Kentucky or Indiana, pheasant 973 01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:49.280 hunting things like that. You know, the majority of those 974 01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:54.320 hunters use those animals and take the meat from them 975 01:00:54.360 --> 01:00:57.639 and feed people and all the rest of that. 976 01:00:57.719 --> 01:01:00.880 That that, to me, is is different than. 977 01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:05.320 Going out and taking down a lion or some magnificent 978 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:09.639 creature on the plains of Africa. So this guy, I 979 01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:14.400 guess maybe it's fitting that all the elephants he's killed, 980 01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.480 that's how he met his end. And I don't have 981 01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:19.639 a problem with that at all. Six thirty six Dan 982 01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:22.360 Carroll for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC The Talks Days 983 01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:31.079 is fifty five KRC the Talks Station, six thirty nine. 984 01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.679 On a Thursday. That feels like a Monday. 985 01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:41.320 Happy New Year to you, even though the New Year 986 01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:43.800 didn't really get off to a great start. I haven't 987 01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:47.519 heard of any any other terrorist activity taking place today, 988 01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:51.079 so we'll see what happens there. Three years, the three 989 01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:55.280 years we've been in these studios, and the monitors in 990 01:01:55.320 --> 01:01:59.559 this in this room still don't shown anything on television. 991 01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:03.639 I don't even know why they're in here. We got 992 01:02:03.679 --> 01:02:07.159 these big, giant, what are these show about? Fifty five 993 01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:12.360 INCHHU TV screens in here something like that, and you 994 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:14.960 can't you can't see anything on it, not hooked up 995 01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:16.880 to any cable or anything. 996 01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:20.679 It blows my mind. It's a you know what I'm doing, 997 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:22.039 what I'm doing radio shows. 998 01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:24.400 I like to have the TV on it. If there's 999 01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:27.639 some breaking news I like. But Jo's Joe's monitoring things 1000 01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:30.400 in there. If there's any breaking news, yeah, he will 1001 01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:32.360 tell me about it. Here's something that's going to happen 1002 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:37.079 that's going to be thoroughly disgusting. Joe Biden is going 1003 01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:42.440 to bestow the second highest civilian medal, the second highest 1004 01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:48.599 civilian honor, onto Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, the lawmakers 1005 01:02:48.639 --> 01:02:53.039 who led the congressional investigation into the January sixth Capitol 1006 01:02:53.119 --> 01:03:00.440 riot by Donald Trump supporters and who Trump said or 1007 01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:04.760 who Trump has said, should be jailed. Biden will award 1008 01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:08.599 the Presidential Citizens Medal to twenty people in a ceremony 1009 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:13.440 today at the White House, including Americans who fought for 1010 01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:18.440 marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers. Two of 1011 01:03:18.519 --> 01:03:22.559 the president's longtime friends for said, former Senator Ted Kaufman 1012 01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:26.760 and Chris Dodd of both the Connecticut or I'm sorry, 1013 01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:32.679 Kaufin's from Delaware, DoD is from Connecticut. Biden said he 1014 01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:36.480 believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and 1015 01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:40.440 committed to serving others. The White House said in a statement, 1016 01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:44.719 the country's better because of their dedication and sacrifice. Really, 1017 01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:52.280 do you believe that Liz Cheney is displayed common decency 1018 01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:57.079 and is committed to serving others the way she ran 1019 01:03:57.199 --> 01:04:00.920 that committee? And now that we know the true about 1020 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:04.039 and look and we knew the truth about that committee 1021 01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:08.559 from day one. Biden last year honored people who were 1022 01:04:08.599 --> 01:04:13.440 involved in defending the capital from rioters or who helped 1023 01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:16.280 safeguard the will of American voters during the I mean 1024 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:19.760 this is a piece. This piece was written by MSNBC, 1025 01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.760 so you know why it's written in such a way. 1026 01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:28.800 Biden last year honored people involved in defending the Capitol 1027 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:32.519 who helped safeguard the will of American voters during the 1028 01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:36.559 twenty twenty presidential election, Trump tried and failed to overturn 1029 01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:42.760 the results. Cheney, who was a Republican representative from Wyoming, 1030 01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:46.960 and Thompson, a Missouri or Mississippi Democrat, led the House. 1031 01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:49.119 Committee that probed the insurrection. 1032 01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:54.079 Cheney later said she would vote for Democrat President Kamala 1033 01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:55.880 Vice President Kamala Harris. 1034 01:04:57.559 --> 01:04:58.760 We know how that worked out. 1035 01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:06.559 Let's see, Trump, who won the twenty twenty four election 1036 01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:09.719 and will take office January twenty, still refuses to back 1037 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:13.920 away from his lies about the twenty twenty presidential race. 1038 01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:22.559 So this is a thoroughly disgusting display that is going 1039 01:05:22.679 --> 01:05:30.440 to take place at the White House today. And do 1040 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:33.559 you think Liz Cheney deserves a medal for what she 1041 01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:39.400 did for the And they love to look at Cheney 1042 01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:41.880 and Kinziger, who were on that committee and talk about, 1043 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:46.840 oh my god, that was a bipartisan committee. That committee, Well, 1044 01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:50.800 do you mean it's you know, you got Republicans, you've 1045 01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:51.760 got Democrats on. 1046 01:05:51.880 --> 01:05:57.119 There, and they really they really did the job. Although 1047 01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:58.280 you look. 1048 01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:02.840 At the real reporting and what really happened about January sixth, 1049 01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:07.039 and all the information that has come out subsequent to 1050 01:06:07.239 --> 01:06:10.800 and all the information that was ignored, all the documents 1051 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:14.039 that were destroyed. I was talking to Dave Hatter about 1052 01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:16.440 that a week or so ago, a terror byte of 1053 01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:25.159 information down the wormhole, down the drain, thanks to Liz Cheney, 1054 01:06:26.519 --> 01:06:28.360 And I said, how much effort does it take to 1055 01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:31.159 get rid of a terror byte of information? He said 1056 01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:36.119 he it takes some effort that doesn't happen by automatically 1057 01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:42.400 or incidentally hitting delete when you're on your keyboard. You 1058 01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:45.400 want to talk about a bipartisan committee, look at the 1059 01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.880 one that did the work on the weaponization of Congress. 1060 01:06:51.639 --> 01:06:54.960 You've got Jim Jordan was a chairman of that. The 1061 01:06:55.239 --> 01:06:58.920 ranking member on the Democrat side was none other than 1062 01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:04.079 Stacey Plaskett, and if you've seen her in operation, she 1063 01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:08.079 is a hardcore leftist. And then you've got other members 1064 01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:13.920 of that committee on the Republican side, Thomas Massey, elisaphonic. 1065 01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:18.719 You've got Dan Bishop, who was awesome, Warren Davidson was 1066 01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:23.639 on that committee, Harriet Hagman who's terrific. On the Democrats side, 1067 01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:29.440 you've got people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz. You don't get 1068 01:07:29.519 --> 01:07:32.840 any more hardcore leftist than that. You've got people like 1069 01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:37.360 Dan Goldman, who was an absolute clown and a fool. 1070 01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:41.079 It is chilling for the Biden administration. And you've got 1071 01:07:41.159 --> 01:07:46.840 Jasmine Crockett who was so out of the mainstream, so 1072 01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:49.320 far left wing, that she couldn't even win re election. 1073 01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:55.800 So that's what a true bipartisan committee looks like, not 1074 01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:59.559 this sham of a committee that was the January Sex 1075 01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:02.039 committe And then they're going to be honored today. 1076 01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:07.079 By this guy in the White House. I mean, it 1077 01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:08.039 makes an. 1078 01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:12.760 Absolute mockery and just cheapens what these things are really 1079 01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:16.920 supposed to be about. And Joe Biden's going to do 1080 01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:20.039 this on behalf of the American people, you, me, and 1081 01:08:20.159 --> 01:08:25.399 everyone else, and it's absolutely disgraceful. Yeah, I'm late for 1082 01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:27.359 a break here, so let's go ahead and do that now. 1083 01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:30.039 Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRCV. 1084 01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:31.159 He talks about. 1085 01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:39.680 Six fifty on this Thursday morning. So they'll be this 1086 01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:40.960 ceremony at the White. 1087 01:08:40.760 --> 01:08:41.520 House today and. 1088 01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:47.159 Thankfully there will be some other news events that may 1089 01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:50.279 overshadow this ceremony that's going to happen to the White 1090 01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:53.399 House today. And Joe Biden's giving these medals out, you know, 1091 01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:55.760 he loves to do that kind of stuff. Maybe do 1092 01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:58.399 a little fondling while, you know, while this is going on, 1093 01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:02.359 and all the White House staff is going to be 1094 01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:05.319 there and they'll be a plotting and and well, you know, 1095 01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:10.000 we'll we'll see the great coverage from MSNBC and CNN 1096 01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:12.399 and all these one now and then we get to 1097 01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:16.840 relive all the horrible things that Donald Trump did on 1098 01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:19.359 January six Well, you know what, there are other reports 1099 01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:23.920 that are out on January sixth talking about and we 1100 01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:27.680 know for a fact that Donald Trump called for more 1101 01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:33.479 security on that day in the form of National Guard troops. 1102 01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:38.960 We know that these orders are not orders, but these 1103 01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:43.319 recommendations were ignored by people that were working for him. 1104 01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:47.359 And I found it interesting the other day that the 1105 01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:49.159 mayor of d C. 1106 01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:53.359 I talked about how she had a meeting with Donald Trump, 1107 01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:56.399 strolling through my list here to see if I know 1108 01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:00.079 I had that headlin in here. Mure Bowser had that 1109 01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:02.079 meeting with Donald Trump, and she's, oh, yeah, we had 1110 01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:06.920 a great meeting. So even after all the thing, and 1111 01:10:07.039 --> 01:10:12.520 she was one who was supposed to sign off on 1112 01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:17.159 additional security measures at the Capitol that day and said no. 1113 01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:19.800 And you know, they didn't like the optics of it 1114 01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:23.560 was the excuse that they had. So all those lies 1115 01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:29.560 again about January sixth, are going to be relief relived today. 1116 01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:33.640 What else is going on? I was talking about the 1117 01:10:33.880 --> 01:10:39.840 Judiciary Committee and their Weaponization Report, or the report about 1118 01:10:39.840 --> 01:10:47.479 the weaponization of the government, and it is seventeen thousand 1119 01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:50.359 pages long. Just a little light reading. Joe, you've read 1120 01:10:50.359 --> 01:10:54.279 the whole thing, haven't you? Just seventeen thousand pages? I 1121 01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:58.880 don't think he has. But that's a lot of reading. 1122 01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:02.680 But if you go to there's a there's a part 1123 01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:06.039 on their website where they've got and it really it 1124 01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:09.520 is a series of separate reports all combined into one, 1125 01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:16.000 and it goes down the list and I'll just read 1126 01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:19.000 some of the headlines here the Biden Border crisis. New 1127 01:11:19.079 --> 01:11:22.119 data and testimony show how the Biden administration opened the 1128 01:11:22.199 --> 01:11:28.600 Southwest border and abandoned interior immigration enforcement fighting, the weaponization 1129 01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:32.840 of the Internal Revenue Service, end of abuse of unannounced 1130 01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:38.479 field visits, the weaponization of disinformation, pseudo experts and bureaucrats, 1131 01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:43.399 How the federal government partnered with universities to censor americans 1132 01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:49.279 free speech, the FBI's breach of religious freedom, the weaponization 1133 01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:54.319 of law enforcement against Catholic Americans, and so all these 1134 01:11:55.359 --> 01:11:57.920 and I'm going to talk to I sent this list 1135 01:11:57.960 --> 01:12:02.000 to Kurt Hartman, and each and every one of these 1136 01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:09.319 is an absolute scandal. Let's see. Let's see, here's one 1137 01:12:10.039 --> 01:12:14.560 that I haven't looked at. New information and testimony from 1138 01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:19.119 the Biden administration officials revealed disregard for a potential gang 1139 01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:26.600 affiliation of UACs. Let's see, Incentivized by the Biden administration's 1140 01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:31.159 open border policies, increasing numbers of unaccompanied alien children have 1141 01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:35.800 traveled to the Southwest border. Since twenty twenty one, Customs 1142 01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:39.159 and Border Protection has encountered more than eight million illegal 1143 01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:41.720 aliens along the Southwest border, more than a half million 1144 01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:48.840 of whom have been UAC's unaccompanied alien children. Under the 1145 01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:52.319 Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of two thousand and eight, 1146 01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:57.159 UACs from non contiguous countries who are encountered along the 1147 01:12:57.199 --> 01:13:00.880 border are referred to are referred by Customs and Border 1148 01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:04.720 Patrol to the Office of Refugee Resettlement or to the 1149 01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:08.520 Department of Health and Human Services. So this goes on 1150 01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:14.680 to talk about, you know, all these individuals, and here 1151 01:13:14.720 --> 01:13:18.239 are some of their findings. HHS did not conduct any 1152 01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:24.039 audit of the case files for these the UAC who 1153 01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:28.880 murdered Kayla Hamilton, despite having released Kayla's Murder and Alien 1154 01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:31.600 with gang tattoos and a history of illicit association with 1155 01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:35.520 MS thirteen to a sponsor, HSS told the committee that 1156 01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:38.159 it does not have a policy to refer known or 1157 01:13:38.239 --> 01:13:40.760 suspected gang members to the Department of Justice. 1158 01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:42.720 So this is just. 1159 01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:49.359 Examining one of the many, many, many flaws that infect 1160 01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:55.840 our immigration system. And Karine John Pierre has the the 1161 01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:57.840 hutspled to stand up there and talk about how our 1162 01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:00.760 immigration system was broken before Joe. 1163 01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:03.079 Biden got in the office. Really, I don't think. 1164 01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:05.159 So we gotta get to a break and then we'll 1165 01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:06.760 talk with Dan Hills on the other side of this 1166 01:14:07.319 --> 01:14:09.760 and get his take on what happened in New Orleans 1167 01:14:09.800 --> 01:14:12.079 and so much more. As we roll on, Dan Carroll 1168 01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:15.159 in for Brian Thomas.

So 1191 01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:35.199 that's what it is. 1192 01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:40.119 Joe, Joe gets to make such decisions. 1193 01:15:40.159 --> 01:15:43.359 What can we say, Well, if Joe Strucker says it, 1194 01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:47.560 then it's gospel. It cannot be it cannot be changed 1195 01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:49.960 or amended in any way. But it's great to have 1196 01:15:50.119 --> 01:15:52.199 you on, Dan. I mean, you've got so many irons 1197 01:15:52.239 --> 01:15:54.319 in the fire. Tell us what what Dan Hills is 1198 01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:55.119 up to these days? 1199 01:15:57.159 --> 01:16:01.760 Well, I do work for a a small department and 1200 01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:06.439 what we call an auxiliary position. I don't like bringing 1201 01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:08.880 my politics that small department. I don't take the chief wood, 1202 01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:12.479 so I'll leave the name of the department off. And 1203 01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:16.840 then my wife and I run a small security thing 1204 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:21.640 for a school that has several campuses. I don't want 1205 01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:24.760 to bring my politics into that work there on leave, that'side. 1206 01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:26.920 But the one that I'll talk up only about is 1207 01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:31.640 frontline Advisors, and that's where I work alongside some attorneys, 1208 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:35.960 and we represent police and corrections union unions. We have 1209 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:41.399 as our main contracts Middletown Fairfield Fops as two fops, 1210 01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:44.239 and then we have Butler County Corrections and hand to 1211 01:16:44.279 --> 01:16:47.680 County Corrections, and we're always we're always looking for more game. 1212 01:16:47.720 --> 01:16:48.760 We're always looking for more. 1213 01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:51.000 I always got there. There's always more out there. But 1214 01:16:51.479 --> 01:16:54.479 you know, when when incidents like what happened yesterday happened, 1215 01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:56.199 you're one of the first people that I reach out 1216 01:16:56.279 --> 01:17:00.319 to in situations like this, and I couldn't help think. 1217 01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:03.560 You know, here in Cincinnati that when we know we're 1218 01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:06.880 going to have thousands of people out on the street 1219 01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:09.800 late at night there and there's a you know, there's 1220 01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:12.520 a situation going to whether it's a whether it's opening day, 1221 01:17:13.119 --> 01:17:16.039 whether it's october Fest, Tasta Cincinnati. 1222 01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:16.439 You name the event. 1223 01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:19.439 It seems to me that we do a good job 1224 01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:22.359 around here of making sure that there's not going to 1225 01:17:22.399 --> 01:17:25.880 be any vehicles that can get on to those streets 1226 01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:28.439 where these events are taking place. It seems to me 1227 01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:32.079 like that is a very basic concept when it comes 1228 01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:36.479 to securing an area like this, and the fact that 1229 01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:40.560 that was overlooked or somehow there were lapses and that 1230 01:17:40.680 --> 01:17:45.000 sort of security down in New Orleans, it just it 1231 01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:46.079 just doesn't sit right. 1232 01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:47.239 It doesn't feel right to me. 1233 01:17:47.439 --> 01:17:52.359 What say you, Yeah, I thought i'd be repeating something 1234 01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:56.159 that's Raybin said today, But you know, the everybody on 1235 01:17:56.560 --> 01:17:59.600 social media keeps quote the same port over and over 1236 01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:02.880 again that you shouldn't be able to go around or 1237 01:18:02.920 --> 01:18:08.279 defeat barriers because they're no longer barriers, right. I think 1238 01:18:08.319 --> 01:18:12.279 it's probably indictable that they did not that they did 1239 01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:15.039 not have these barriers up, or they did not complete 1240 01:18:16.319 --> 01:18:20.000 barriers across certain streets left a sidewalk open. I mean, 1241 01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:25.439 that's just unimaginable. I think I mentioned to you in text. 1242 01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:28.000 You know, I've noticed over the years and even over 1243 01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:31.439 the decades, especially since nine to eleven, it appears that 1244 01:18:31.600 --> 01:18:33.920 New York City has got this down to a science. 1245 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:39.359 They bring sand filled trucks, municipal trucks, maybe the same 1246 01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:42.439 ones that they use for snow emergencies or whatever, but 1247 01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:45.079 they put so much weight to them that nothing like 1248 01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:48.560 this could have ever got by New York. Now, as 1249 01:18:48.600 --> 01:18:51.680 far as Cincinnati goes, I have to I have to 1250 01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:54.600 bag out a little bit because I never was a 1251 01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:58.560 sign downtown and I've never worked a lot of details. 1252 01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:01.800 This isn't my sumption. Maybe one of my cards might 1253 01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:04.079 call in and disagree, But I think one of the 1254 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:06.960 reasons they moved a lot of stuff from the streets 1255 01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:10.479 of downtown all the way down to the parks and 1256 01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:14.159 by the riverside is because it was easier to secure. 1257 01:19:14.279 --> 01:19:17.000 Not only did you not have to stop traffic flow 1258 01:19:17.039 --> 01:19:19.479 and all that stuff. I think things like this are 1259 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:22.239 a lot more difficult to ever been able to pull 1260 01:19:22.279 --> 01:19:24.840 off down at those down at those parks. I don't 1261 01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:27.239 think you can easily get in a vehicle into those 1262 01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:32.359 places because we've kind of gone away from the closing 1263 01:19:32.399 --> 01:19:34.319 down the streets for things like tastes and stuff, and 1264 01:19:34.399 --> 01:19:37.960 we've moved all that stuff down to Sawyer Point and 1265 01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:41.079 the big parks down there, So I think we're better 1266 01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:44.600 off in Cincinnati. It's, like I just admitted, not my 1267 01:19:45.319 --> 01:19:48.199 area of expertise. I do think that if you want 1268 01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:51.760 to see who really does it well and how it's 1269 01:19:51.800 --> 01:19:55.439 avoided any disasters in a long long time, it's New 1270 01:19:55.520 --> 01:19:59.239 York City. And I think that had are gone a 1271 01:19:59.319 --> 01:20:03.479 role and should role for whatever happened here in New 1272 01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:06.279 Orleans that allowed a truck to go into an area 1273 01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:09.159 that was just wall to wall people. And I've only 1274 01:20:09.239 --> 01:20:12.880 been to New Orleans one time when for FOP convention, 1275 01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:15.760 and I don't think it was overly busy when I 1276 01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:18.079 was there, but I've seen the footage many many times 1277 01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:21.439 in the Marti Gras and stuff like New Orleans. When 1278 01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:24.239 you're talking about wall to wall people, you cannot he 1279 01:20:24.359 --> 01:20:29.680 cannot physically allow a vehicle to be able to get 1280 01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:33.800 around barricades, barriers and all this other stuff because it 1281 01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:36.840 just leads to what this was, which was a killing field. 1282 01:20:36.920 --> 01:20:41.760 This was this this this was you know, just an 1283 01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:45.039 unspeakable carnage. And you know, I've seen some of the 1284 01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:47.560 videos and didn't followed it real closely on social media. 1285 01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:52.960 Uh you know, obviously then the Number one goes to 1286 01:20:53.079 --> 01:20:57.760 the the evil the Eagle. You know, I can't say 1287 01:20:57.800 --> 01:20:59.640 stuff on the radio that I'd like to about this 1288 01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:04.239 this guy, but right behind him and any associates he 1289 01:21:04.399 --> 01:21:09.359 might have had, my anger goes towards just the incompetence 1290 01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:14.920 of whatever their plan or lack thereof, for keeping vehicles 1291 01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:16.720 out of urban street. 1292 01:21:17.119 --> 01:21:21.680 Yes, well, let's say it's well, let's say that Cincinnati 1293 01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:23.760 was going to have a big event that that was 1294 01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:27.239 going to draw national attention, much like what was going 1295 01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:30.600 on in New Orleans. They had the college football game 1296 01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:36.039 National Center Quarterfinal with Notre Dame University and the University 1297 01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:38.960 of Georgia happening at the Supernome. So that that is 1298 01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:42.600 an event and we should I was just reading a 1299 01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.560 story earlier today about how a year ago the Rand 1300 01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:49.479 Corporation put out a report pointing out the vulnerabilities we 1301 01:21:49.640 --> 01:21:53.560 have in these exact areas and pointing out this exact 1302 01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:56.920 sort of attack that can happen. And it seems to 1303 01:21:57.000 --> 01:22:00.720 me that when you have a national something that is 1304 01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:03.359 worthy of a national event, a big event is going 1305 01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:06.279 to be on national television. The eyes of the country 1306 01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:09.239 are going to be upon New Orleans for a period 1307 01:22:09.319 --> 01:22:12.199 of time that is a prime target right there, and 1308 01:22:12.359 --> 01:22:15.800 so there is It seems to me there's naturally coordination 1309 01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:22.840 with Homeland Security with you know, you name the federal agency, uh, 1310 01:22:22.920 --> 01:22:25.640 the FBI, to see whatever whatever the agency it is 1311 01:22:26.319 --> 01:22:28.760 that and I imagine that happens here. It happens in 1312 01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:31.600 any major city where there is a national event that 1313 01:22:31.920 --> 01:22:37.880 requires additional security and it and I hate, I hate 1314 01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:41.680 to criticize police, the men and women on the street 1315 01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:45.039 who are doing the job, but you can, and it's 1316 01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:46.159 not taking long here. 1317 01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:48.840 You can. We can go right up the ladder and we. 1318 01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:54.640 See leadership failure after leadership failure, and the innocent people 1319 01:22:54.720 --> 01:22:56.399 on the street are the ones who wind up paying 1320 01:22:56.439 --> 01:22:56.960 the price for it. 1321 01:22:58.920 --> 01:23:02.319 Yeah. No, I have no problem at all saying that 1322 01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:06.680 there there's some people there that obviously need to be 1323 01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:10.680 looked at hard, starting with the police chief there and 1324 01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:14.399 and then her command staff, the ones that were in 1325 01:23:14.600 --> 01:23:19.439 charge of that district. Uh they have a special events 1326 01:23:20.119 --> 01:23:23.760 section like we do in Cincinnati. Those are all people 1327 01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:28.039 that I would hope had been the training, had you know, 1328 01:23:28.159 --> 01:23:32.000 the years of experience, they know that this This is 1329 01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:34.880 not the first time that I think vehicles have probably 1330 01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:40.000 caused damage to persons in New Orleans. I would say 1331 01:23:40.039 --> 01:23:43.079 it's probably happened before with a drunk or something like 1332 01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:46.000 that that you heard the chief right away, she said, well, 1333 01:23:46.039 --> 01:23:49.439 this isn't you know a case with the DUI. I 1334 01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:52.720 think we had something some decades ago in Cincinnati where 1335 01:23:52.720 --> 01:23:57.439 a drunk went through some some barricades, you know, ones 1336 01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:00.279 that were meant to tell people the stuff up, but 1337 01:24:00.479 --> 01:24:06.760 not physically strong enough to stop vehicles. So we've had 1338 01:24:06.840 --> 01:24:08.000 that here in Cincinnati. 1339 01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:09.720 Now. 1340 01:24:10.039 --> 01:24:14.439 You know, some of the places I currently work have, uh, 1341 01:24:14.640 --> 01:24:18.680 these these concrete bears and baffles because you know, they 1342 01:24:18.920 --> 01:24:22.600 they they know that their community might be one that 1343 01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:28.079 is marked for for terrorist attacks. And so there's a 1344 01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:30.840 lot of places that have built these these type of 1345 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:35.279 barriers that physically prevent even you know, a good sized 1346 01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:38.119 pickup truck or god Forbids and Mike gets a hold 1347 01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:40.600 of something like a dump truck or whatever from from 1348 01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:43.359 from going up and making contact to a building. So 1349 01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:46.720 they're protecting a building. But when you're protecting a street 1350 01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:49.920 that normally is open to traffic, you know you've got 1351 01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:51.960 to get a vented and go right back to New York. 1352 01:24:52.039 --> 01:24:54.960 I heard them saying when they're talking about the ball 1353 01:24:55.039 --> 01:24:58.199 dropping on on on New Year's Eve, that they they 1354 01:24:58.359 --> 01:25:01.960 they block the streets and I'm imagine they're probably, uh, 1355 01:25:02.199 --> 01:25:04.319 you know, just a couple of feet apart from one another, 1356 01:25:04.479 --> 01:25:07.840 so uh, walking traffic can get through. But they put 1357 01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:11.560 these these great, big municipal trucks stilled with sand. So 1358 01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:16.760 that evil There I go again, trying to think of 1359 01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:18.479 words I can say, but I can't on the radio 1360 01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:22.439 that that that evil thug could not have gotten his 1361 01:25:22.760 --> 01:25:27.119 pickup truck down to run people over if he would 1362 01:25:27.159 --> 01:25:29.600 have tried to do the same thing in New York City. 1363 01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:31.319 I don't believe he could have done it. 1364 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:34.239 Up pick up trug with the ISIS flag on the back, 1365 01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:37.920 Absolutely amazing. How yeah, close to that area, Dan Hill, 1366 01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:39.560 stay right there. We got to get to a quick 1367 01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:41.720 break and we'll continue with you on the other side. 1368 01:25:41.960 --> 01:25:43.920 Fifty five KRC the Talk station. 1369 01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:46.199 Have you taken your family to fifty. 1370 01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:48.880 Five KRC the Talk Station. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, 1371 01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:55.720 continuing our conversation with Dan Hills, one time president of 1372 01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:59.239 the FOP Cincinnati Police and Dan, I guess it's good 1373 01:25:59.359 --> 01:26:02.159 that nor Orland turned the investigation over to the FBI 1374 01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:07.199 since the police chief herself back in August actually hit 1375 01:26:07.239 --> 01:26:10.680 a couple of pedestrians when she was when she was 1376 01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:13.600 driving through the French Quarter. So maybe not the best 1377 01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:16.279 person to investigate an incident like this. 1378 01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:18.680 And another of them. 1379 01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:23.159 I shouldn't None of this should be something to laugh about. 1380 01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:27.079 But that is one thing that does does make you chuckle, 1381 01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:29.800 that they're that there. Police chief is also known for 1382 01:26:30.600 --> 01:26:33.560 running folks over. Just back to why I'm saying, you know, 1383 01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:38.119 let's not forget about the uh walka shaw is that 1384 01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:39.119 how it's pronounced. 1385 01:26:40.079 --> 01:26:43.560 That was a couple of a couple of Christmases ago, yep. 1386 01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:50.000 Yees, six six people uh killed there? And then you 1387 01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:52.039 know what, I didn't know until I just ran. And 1388 01:26:52.239 --> 01:26:54.119 you're gonna find this hard to believe, Dan, I'm reading 1389 01:26:54.119 --> 01:26:55.640 an MSNBC article. 1390 01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:56.119 I don't think. 1391 01:26:56.159 --> 01:26:58.720 I don't think I ever go to s NBC for 1392 01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.520 my news. But they came right up when I when 1393 01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:06.720 I just ran at the break passed attacks such as 1394 01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:10.079 these right And did you know in China in November 1395 01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:14.000 that a driver rammed his car into a crowd at 1396 01:27:14.039 --> 01:27:17.560 a sports center. I am not going to try to 1397 01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:20.479 pronounce the Chinese City, but they killed thirty five people 1398 01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:26.119 and severely injured forty three. The Deadly's attacks one of 1399 01:27:26.119 --> 01:27:34.920 the deadly's attacks in contemporary China. It recently happened in London, Ontario. 1400 01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:39.640 And so this is something you're asking about Cincinnati's readiness 1401 01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:42.880 for it, and I don't have the complete answer for you. 1402 01:27:43.000 --> 01:27:45.159 I think we're a lot better than we used to be. 1403 01:27:46.199 --> 01:27:49.000 I think not not to be a dead horse, but 1404 01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:53.000 I think New York's probably the best. And they, you know, 1405 01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:55.279 terrible things happen, and all of a sudden, you learn 1406 01:27:55.319 --> 01:27:58.880 to get real good. And obviously nine to eleven caught 1407 01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:01.359 in New York City that they have to they have 1408 01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:04.720 to prevent these these type of attacks the best they can, 1409 01:28:05.319 --> 01:28:08.319 and knowing that vehicles is a very very common weapon, 1410 01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:13.119 they've made themselves ready. And then go back to Cincinnati 1411 01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:18.479 and all the other cities across this country. You know, 1412 01:28:18.680 --> 01:28:21.800 with your was your president Joe Biden, letting all these 1413 01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:26.319 people in across the border. I think everybody who is 1414 01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:31.119 in charge of events, whether it's in Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, 1415 01:28:31.239 --> 01:28:34.920 or wherever, needs to be very conscious of this. And 1416 01:28:35.279 --> 01:28:38.399 and I hope we never ever see again that a 1417 01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:41.119 police chief gets on the microphone and says, also, I 1418 01:28:41.239 --> 01:28:44.119 just defeated our barriers. You know you can't. You can't 1419 01:28:44.239 --> 01:28:47.840 have barriers that are defeated or they're not barriers anymore. 1420 01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:50.680 Well, the mayor said that they've got these ballards that 1421 01:28:50.800 --> 01:28:53.960 they use, and somehow these ballards were not functioning properly. 1422 01:28:54.079 --> 01:28:56.039 So you know, they'll be ready in time for the 1423 01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:58.359 super Bowl. They just weren't ready in time for New 1424 01:28:58.439 --> 01:29:01.800 Year's Eve. And I'm thinking of my you know, these 1425 01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:04.399 are posts that go into the ground. There's not a 1426 01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:06.159 lot of moving parts there. I don't know how they 1427 01:29:06.239 --> 01:29:09.079 can not be operable. I think someone needs to look 1428 01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:14.199 into that flimsy excuse for not having the proper barriers 1429 01:29:14.279 --> 01:29:17.239 in place. But I mean, how many wake up calls 1430 01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.399 do we need in this country. I was talking earlier 1431 01:29:20.720 --> 01:29:22.680 about a report that came out a year ago from 1432 01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:26.560 the Rand Corporation, and they describe soft targets like this, 1433 01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:30.000 and they describe, you know that it's one thing to 1434 01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:34.680 be trying to prevent people from flying jetliners into places 1435 01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:36.960 like the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but the 1436 01:29:37.479 --> 01:29:40.760 low level stuff like someone who wants to drive a 1437 01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:43.359 vehicle into a crowd of people. Those are the kind 1438 01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:44.920 of things that we really need to be on our 1439 01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:48.079 toes for. So a year ago, you know, these warnings 1440 01:29:48.119 --> 01:29:51.520 went out to Department of Homeland Security police departments across 1441 01:29:51.600 --> 01:29:55.119 the country, and this should be yet another wake up 1442 01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:59.840 call that we really need to the people who get paid, 1443 01:30:00.199 --> 01:30:03.399 the people who spend their time concentrating on these sorts 1444 01:30:03.399 --> 01:30:06.000 of things that this is. You know, this is not 1445 01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:09.239 a wasted exercise that that you know, there are again, 1446 01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:14.000 there are real life consequences for when even there's even 1447 01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:16.439 the tiniest laps in security like this. 1448 01:30:18.600 --> 01:30:21.840 Yeah, it's you just said it, you know, wake up call. 1449 01:30:21.880 --> 01:30:23.840 We're gonna have to stop using that term because if 1450 01:30:23.880 --> 01:30:27.479 people aren't aware of this, yeah, all you got to 1451 01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:30.520 do is run it on your Google search. And even 1452 01:30:31.039 --> 01:30:34.920 even our friends that were at MSNBC are are are 1453 01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:38.880 writing articles that said that says, this happens all the time. 1454 01:30:39.399 --> 01:30:42.800 So we can't we can't play dumb anymore. We can't, 1455 01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:45.279 you know, shrug our shoulders. I think what they're talking 1456 01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:48.119 about in the really instantius say you're clear, is they 1457 01:30:48.199 --> 01:30:51.920 actually have these doors that can come up, great big 1458 01:30:52.039 --> 01:30:55.359 metal doors that can come up and block streets and 1459 01:30:55.479 --> 01:30:59.680 for some reason those were not triggered apparently and uh 1460 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:05.319 some parts of around Bourbon Street and back to possibly indictable. 1461 01:31:05.359 --> 01:31:08.199 We got to find out who who did not have 1462 01:31:08.439 --> 01:31:11.920 those doors up and if if they're not functioning for 1463 01:31:12.039 --> 01:31:14.399 this reason or that reason, then you got to block 1464 01:31:14.479 --> 01:31:19.279 it with vehicles that that are you know, unable to 1465 01:31:19.319 --> 01:31:22.880 be rammed or pushed out of the way by something 1466 01:31:23.279 --> 01:31:28.760 as common as the pitch up truck. So they failed miserably, 1467 01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:31.680 and you know, the list goes on and on. As 1468 01:31:31.680 --> 01:31:35.239 I'm reading. You know, in twenty eighteen in Toronto, eleven 1469 01:31:35.279 --> 01:31:38.960 people killed. But back in New York a bike path 1470 01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:45.119 was a nice a nice Becky, a man who I 1471 01:31:45.239 --> 01:31:48.520 think was supportive of the religion of Love and peace, 1472 01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:55.760 killed eight people and injured eleven. Barcelona, Spain, thirteen people 1473 01:31:55.800 --> 01:32:01.079 were a kill. So these these attacks are very, very common, 1474 01:32:01.800 --> 01:32:05.439 and so we have to whenever we have a crowd. 1475 01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:08.920 I think police departments across this country are going to 1476 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:12.760 have to find something better than just you know, putting 1477 01:32:12.880 --> 01:32:13.880 up some cones. 1478 01:32:13.960 --> 01:32:15.800 You know, cones, Yeah, don't. 1479 01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:20.279 Stop somebody helping it on on on mass murder, so 1480 01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:25.079 there will be no excuses anymore. And I think that 1481 01:32:25.239 --> 01:32:28.640 it's it's it's oh, it's up to somebody, a public 1482 01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:31.439 person like you, to keep putting us out that way, 1483 01:32:31.600 --> 01:32:33.399 nobody can say they didn't know. 1484 01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:36.760 Well, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna do it at every opportunity, Dan, 1485 01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:38.680 Can you hang around for one more segment. We got 1486 01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:41.079 to get to a quick break here. The crime numbers 1487 01:32:41.159 --> 01:32:43.439 came out for twenty twenty four in Cincinnati. I want 1488 01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:46.439 to run those by you real quick. Yees, sure, okay, 1489 01:32:46.560 --> 01:32:48.720 Dan Hill's He'll hang around for one more segment and 1490 01:32:48.800 --> 01:32:53.279 we'll continue on fifty five KRC, the talk station What's 1491 01:32:53.359 --> 01:33:09.920 up every seven thirty on this Thursday morning, as we 1492 01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:15.000 talk with Dan Hills, and I'm told west Side Jim 1493 01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:17.119 suggested this for your new Walcoup music. 1494 01:33:17.199 --> 01:33:22.920 Dan, what do you think you're bringing all the heavy hitters. 1495 01:33:23.000 --> 01:33:26.119 I'm telling you, man that Joe Strecker, now, Jim Jim Keeper. 1496 01:33:26.239 --> 01:33:29.920 I mean, I can't debate with any of these folks. 1497 01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:32.760 They are they're just too uh, they're they're too important 1498 01:33:32.800 --> 01:33:36.439 for me to see debate at. Also, people whatever Joe 1499 01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:37.760 and Jim decide. 1500 01:33:37.479 --> 01:33:38.840 People love you in this town, man. 1501 01:33:38.880 --> 01:33:40.439 They want you to have. They want you, They want 1502 01:33:40.479 --> 01:33:42.359 to know when you're going to be around, But then 1503 01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:45.199 I always appreciate you being here. The numbers have come 1504 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:48.960 out for twenty twenty four. When you look at crime 1505 01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:52.920 numbers in Cincinnati overall, they say crime is down about 1506 01:33:53.000 --> 01:33:56.079 six percent, which I guess you can take away that 1507 01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:58.000 as good. But when you look at some of the 1508 01:33:58.479 --> 01:34:02.840 some of the individual numbers, twelve percent increase in violent crimes, 1509 01:34:03.439 --> 01:34:06.239 homicides are flat over the past three years. Seventy two 1510 01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:09.760 people killed in Cincinnati in twenty twenty four, which to 1511 01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:12.720 me sounds still like a pretty big number. I'd like 1512 01:34:12.800 --> 01:34:15.960 to see that number drop off a lot. And things 1513 01:34:16.119 --> 01:34:20.840 like aggravated assaults up eleven percent, violent crime, robbery up 1514 01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:25.159 fourteen percent from twenty twenty three, rape was down twenty 1515 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:27.119 four percent. So a little bit of a mixed bag 1516 01:34:27.640 --> 01:34:28.920 in these numbers that came out. 1517 01:34:28.960 --> 01:34:29.840 What do you make of them? 1518 01:34:31.840 --> 01:34:34.640 Well, you know, I think that's a lot. There's a 1519 01:34:34.720 --> 01:34:36.720 lot of things in numbers that are just kind of 1520 01:34:36.880 --> 01:34:38.600 a flu when you're talking about a city the size 1521 01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:40.920 of the sass that it's a bunch of times you 1522 01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:46.439 get when the administration starts, city administration, police administration, they'll 1523 01:34:46.479 --> 01:34:49.840 brag about a drop in shootings or homicides or whatever. 1524 01:34:49.840 --> 01:34:51.760 I say, well, let's just wait till the next year, 1525 01:34:52.239 --> 01:34:55.800 because if you manage to lock up the right handful 1526 01:34:55.840 --> 01:34:58.520 of people, then all of a sudden, your statistics will 1527 01:34:59.000 --> 01:35:02.640 will drop. I don't know if it's always necessarily a trend. 1528 01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:06.279 In general, I think our trends are not real good 1529 01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:09.680 as our criminal justice system becomes more and more broken. 1530 01:35:11.079 --> 01:35:14.960 You said flat and homicides in seventy two. You know, 1531 01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.199 that's that that has been a consistent number of in Cincinnati, 1532 01:35:19.279 --> 01:35:22.680 sixty seventy some homicide a year. And when you're talking 1533 01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:26.039 about a city of just a little over three hundred 1534 01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:29.199 thousand people, I'm quite certain that probably puts us as 1535 01:35:29.239 --> 01:35:32.359 far as murder rate goes, in the top twenty or 1536 01:35:32.439 --> 01:35:35.439 so in the United States. So it's not it's not 1537 01:35:35.600 --> 01:35:38.000 something that we want to go go bragging about. 1538 01:35:38.079 --> 01:35:40.000 Yeah, and that's what you're going to hang your hat on. Yeah. 1539 01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:42.000 I mean and again that that number, just say, it 1540 01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:45.079 sounds high to me in the to say to say 1541 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:48.159 that it's flat sort of sort of minimizes that number 1542 01:35:48.199 --> 01:35:49.960 a little bit. I would like to see that number, 1543 01:35:50.399 --> 01:35:53.279 you know, drop off by ten, fifteen, twenty twenty five people. 1544 01:35:54.520 --> 01:35:56.439 Well, consider this thing, you know, when you look at 1545 01:35:56.560 --> 01:35:59.760 the numbers, if you really talk about different periods of 1546 01:35:59.800 --> 01:36:02.239 time in the city, go back to like the seventies 1547 01:36:02.600 --> 01:36:06.640 when there was a half million people in the city 1548 01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:12.760 or darn near and the medical care was so much different. 1549 01:36:13.319 --> 01:36:16.520 And so if you got stabbed, because I think stabbings 1550 01:36:16.520 --> 01:36:19.119 were more common than the seventies than shootings were, you 1551 01:36:19.279 --> 01:36:24.279 probably got transported to the er by a couple of 1552 01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:27.399 policemen in a scale car. Now you've got paramedics units, 1553 01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:31.279 you have these incredible trauma centers. They saved so. 1554 01:36:31.399 --> 01:36:35.039 Many lives of so many shooting victims that we have that, 1555 01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:38.920 you know, God is if we had the same the 1556 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:42.439 same type of medical responses that we had, say in 1557 01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:46.920 nineteen seventy five, that we have with with today's violence, 1558 01:36:46.960 --> 01:36:47.199 can you. 1559 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:50.359 Imagine how many homicides we'd have. We'd probably have, you know, 1560 01:36:51.079 --> 01:36:53.840 north of one hundred and fifty homicides. So there is 1561 01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:56.920 way way too much violence in our city. And one 1562 01:36:56.960 --> 01:36:59.319 of my favorite things I always bring up is whenever 1563 01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:01.560 the left it's about gun control, which makes me want 1564 01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:06.640 to pull my by al Bryle's out is that they won't. 1565 01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:08.680 They want gun laws, more gun laws, hold that we 1566 01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:11.359 don't enforce the one of the best gun laws we have, 1567 01:37:11.520 --> 01:37:14.279 which is weapons under disability. So, Dan Carroll, if you 1568 01:37:14.319 --> 01:37:17.680 get yourself convicted of a felony, you're no longer allowed 1569 01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:20.880 to possess a firearm. And we have it every day. 1570 01:37:21.239 --> 01:37:24.680 I would say, in Cincinnati, multiple arrest of people with 1571 01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:28.159 weapons under disability, and what do the local judges and 1572 01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.520 courts and corrections do to them here in Cincinnati in 1573 01:37:31.560 --> 01:37:33.760 the general term, the answer is nothing. 1574 01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:36.119 Yeah, just slap on the slap on the wrist, or 1575 01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:37.119 back out on the street. 1576 01:37:37.399 --> 01:37:40.520 I think a lot of people would be surprised by 1577 01:37:40.880 --> 01:37:45.640 the number of criminals in this in this area who 1578 01:37:46.199 --> 01:37:49.359 have already been in the system, through the system, been 1579 01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:52.399 convicted of this, been convicted that's spent a little time 1580 01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:57.560 behind bars that, and it really is a relatively small 1581 01:37:57.640 --> 01:38:00.800 number of people that commit the majority of crimes around here. 1582 01:38:02.359 --> 01:38:05.720 Now, Yeah, I don't do well putting together statistics, but 1583 01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:09.119 I'd love to see the statistics. We have great homicide 1584 01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:11.880 investigators here in the city since then, and we still 1585 01:38:11.920 --> 01:38:14.520 close the majority of our house sides. How many of 1586 01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:18.159 those folks that have been convicted of homicide had previously 1587 01:38:18.239 --> 01:38:21.199 been convicted under my favorite crime that I like to 1588 01:38:21.239 --> 01:38:24.000 talk about, weapons under disabilities. Yeah, and I was at 1589 01:38:24.079 --> 01:38:26.520 a very high percentage. And what happened to him when 1590 01:38:26.520 --> 01:38:28.439 they got convicted about probably. 1591 01:38:28.159 --> 01:38:28.840 Next to nothing. 1592 01:38:29.199 --> 01:38:31.039 And so we keep letting these folks in and out 1593 01:38:31.119 --> 01:38:33.479 the revolving door, and then we sit there and act 1594 01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:36.880 surprise one. We see that there's seventy two homicides and 1595 01:38:36.960 --> 01:38:40.640 god knows how many shootings in our you know, relatively 1596 01:38:40.800 --> 01:38:41.760 medium sized city. 1597 01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:44.399 All right, well, Dan Hill's with that. We will let 1598 01:38:44.439 --> 01:38:45.720 you go, sir as. 1599 01:38:45.760 --> 01:38:48.319 Always appreciate the time and keep up the great work, 1600 01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:52.439 and we will talk again, hopefully not before too long. 1601 01:38:52.520 --> 01:38:56.039 But and I mean the the you know, these things, 1602 01:38:56.920 --> 01:38:59.119 these incidents like what happened in New Orleans. I mean, 1603 01:38:59.159 --> 01:39:02.159 these things have to stop. And it just to my 1604 01:39:02.279 --> 01:39:04.720 way of thinking that you've got to take the action 1605 01:39:04.880 --> 01:39:06.840 on the front end so we don't wind up with 1606 01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:08.720 the results like this on the back end. 1607 01:39:09.920 --> 01:39:12.239 I agree one hundred percent. Dan, look forward to the 1608 01:39:12.279 --> 01:39:13.000 next time we talk. 1609 01:39:13.039 --> 01:39:13.760 All right, there you go. 1610 01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:16.640 Dan Hill's former president of the FOP and always great 1611 01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:19.000 to have him on.

So the national media is going 1627 01:40:18.760 --> 01:40:22.199 to talk when it's time for Biden to go, We're 1628 01:40:22.279 --> 01:40:25.600 going to talk about what a great statesman, what a 1629 01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:30.359 you know, peaceful transfer of power, this is how it's done. 1630 01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:33.920 We're gonna have to relive all the January sixth stuff. 1631 01:40:34.359 --> 01:40:37.680 You know that Biden's gonna give Liz Cheney a metal 1632 01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:42.399 today for carrying his water on the January sixth Committee 1633 01:40:42.439 --> 01:40:43.239 and all the rest of it. 1634 01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:48.520 But when you look at what this administration is doing. 1635 01:40:49.039 --> 01:40:53.000 And a judge just told this administration last week that 1636 01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:55.960 they had to stop selling parts of what Joe, you 1637 01:40:56.079 --> 01:40:59.359 saw that, dan'ea the sale that they were taking the 1638 01:40:59.439 --> 01:41:01.760 parts of the World Wall that have been rusting out 1639 01:41:01.760 --> 01:41:05.079 there in the desert for the last four years. Yeah, 1640 01:41:05.119 --> 01:41:09.840 pennies on the dollar and ridiculously low prices. A judge 1641 01:41:09.880 --> 01:41:13.840 told him they had to stop doing that. Apparently we 1642 01:41:13.960 --> 01:41:16.439 need more judges who tell who should tell them to 1643 01:41:16.479 --> 01:41:20.119 stop doing stuff that's going to make Trump's life a 1644 01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:22.119 living hell when he gets in office, at least that's 1645 01:41:22.159 --> 01:41:22.920 what they're trying to do. 1646 01:41:24.079 --> 01:41:27.359 So I mean, is that very statesman like to allow 1647 01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:27.960 your and. 1648 01:41:29.640 --> 01:41:32.680 I keep talking about I talk about this guy as 1649 01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:36.800 if he's responsible for what is happening under his administration, 1650 01:41:37.840 --> 01:41:41.319 and it's in a technical sense he is responsible for it, 1651 01:41:41.439 --> 01:41:45.239 But in a practical sense, we know that he is 1652 01:41:46.119 --> 01:41:51.399 probably for the most part, absolutely clueless as to what 1653 01:41:51.560 --> 01:41:53.600 the people around him are up to and what they 1654 01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:59.640 are doing. On Tuesday, the Department of Energy announced that 1655 01:41:59.720 --> 01:42:04.920 it will provide a record fifteen billion dollars low interest 1656 01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:09.279 loan commitment to California utility company PG and E through 1657 01:42:09.359 --> 01:42:14.960 its energy infrastructure Reinvestment Project created by Biden's dubiously titled 1658 01:42:15.000 --> 01:42:22.000 Inflation Reduction Act. EIR supports roads and that retool, repower, 1659 01:42:22.119 --> 01:42:26.399 repurpose to replace energy infrastructure, and that enable operating energy 1660 01:42:26.399 --> 01:42:31.279 infrastructure to avoid, reduce, utilize, sequester air pollutants or greenhouse gases. 1661 01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:35.640 The loan will support hundreds of projects aimed at fighting 1662 01:42:35.680 --> 01:42:39.520 the effect of climate change and improving the electrical grid. 1663 01:42:40.319 --> 01:42:43.199 The Wall Street General reports the Biden. 1664 01:42:42.920 --> 01:42:46.079 Administration has already made more than forty two point four 1665 01:42:46.239 --> 01:42:51.119 billion dollars in loan commitments and is feverishly working to 1666 01:42:51.399 --> 01:42:52.800 add to that total. 1667 01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:57.039 I mean, that is just beyond sick, and. 1668 01:42:57.119 --> 01:42:59.880 They are just trying to shovel money out the door 1669 01:43:00.479 --> 01:43:05.119 as fast as possible. I saw a report last week 1670 01:43:05.720 --> 01:43:09.520 that lawmakers in the state of California have gone to 1671 01:43:09.600 --> 01:43:13.479 Pete Buddha Judge asking boota Judge, the Secretary of Transportation, 1672 01:43:14.119 --> 01:43:19.119 and he's got how many untold billions at his disposal 1673 01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:25.119 thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. But he's got all 1674 01:43:25.159 --> 01:43:27.239 this money that he can ladle out, and they're asking 1675 01:43:27.359 --> 01:43:32.520 him for hundreds of millions more for the high speed 1676 01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:36.680 rail system in California, and they want this done before 1677 01:43:36.840 --> 01:43:40.319 what before Trump gets into office, because they know he's 1678 01:43:40.359 --> 01:43:42.920 going to say no ba but nah, it is time 1679 01:43:43.000 --> 01:43:46.880 to shut this kind of stuff down. But this is 1680 01:43:46.960 --> 01:43:54.039 the kind of petty, low level bush league stuff that 1681 01:43:54.239 --> 01:43:58.159 is going on throughout this administration. A week or so ago, 1682 01:43:58.279 --> 01:44:01.520 we learned that they put out the Biden administration did 1683 01:44:02.399 --> 01:44:07.840 put out feelers for hiring DEI executives in all these 1684 01:44:07.920 --> 01:44:11.920 different departments of the federal government. They want to get 1685 01:44:11.960 --> 01:44:15.640 all these people in place. When DEI is starting to 1686 01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:19.000 go down the crap hole. We've got company after company 1687 01:44:19.039 --> 01:44:23.479 that is getting rid of their DEI infrastructure. Universities all 1688 01:44:23.520 --> 01:44:27.720 across the country are saying no more DEI. They've wasted 1689 01:44:28.720 --> 01:44:32.880 untold millions of dollars on these initiatives and they're not 1690 01:44:32.920 --> 01:44:35.640 getting any bang for the buck out of it. And 1691 01:44:35.800 --> 01:44:42.279 so the whole DEI thing is winding down itself under 1692 01:44:42.319 --> 01:44:45.600 its own weight. It is grinding to a halt because 1693 01:44:45.640 --> 01:44:50.680 it is completely unsustainable, and with the Trump administration, that 1694 01:44:50.880 --> 01:44:53.840 is only going to be accelerated. And so they are 1695 01:44:53.920 --> 01:44:58.840 doing everything they can to push their agenda and have 1696 01:44:58.960 --> 01:45:02.439 it linger as as long as possible in the Trump administration. 1697 01:45:03.800 --> 01:45:06.640 I mean it is sick, it is petty, and it 1698 01:45:06.800 --> 01:45:12.880 is small. And again the national media and maybe I'll 1699 01:45:12.920 --> 01:45:15.720 read that piece from the New York Post again that 1700 01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:20.079 lied to us from day one about the cognitive abilities 1701 01:45:20.119 --> 01:45:23.359 of this president is going to do it again when 1702 01:45:23.399 --> 01:45:24.800 it's time for him to step away. 1703 01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:27.119 Seven seven forty six. 1704 01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:30.720 Now Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRSD talk stations. 1705 01:45:31.479 --> 01:45:33.600 It's open enrollment.

Chuck 1725 01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:34.880 ingramon fifty five KRC the talk station. 1726 01:46:48.640 --> 01:46:51.319 You get a ship in the duck gets raining in 1727 01:46:51.479 --> 01:46:52.039 the pubs. 1728 01:46:52.239 --> 01:46:54.760 Meantime, fifty five KRC DE talk station. 1729 01:46:55.039 --> 01:47:01.520 Dan Carroll in for Ryan Thomas, brought some audio with me. 1730 01:47:01.600 --> 01:47:02.199 I want to play it. 1731 01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:06.560 One is on CNN, and then one of the things 1732 01:47:06.640 --> 01:47:08.800 I do when you know, I watch a lot of 1733 01:47:08.840 --> 01:47:11.239 Fox News and but one of the things I do 1734 01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:13.399 when I get ready for these shows is I and 1735 01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:16.680 I'd probably do this in my even if I wasn't 1736 01:47:16.720 --> 01:47:21.439 on on radio, but I flip around to MSNBC and CNN, 1737 01:47:21.600 --> 01:47:25.199 and I'll probably watch more than my fair share of 1738 01:47:25.279 --> 01:47:30.680 c spam because I'm just that that's the way I'm wired. 1739 01:47:30.760 --> 01:47:35.520 I CA's I mean, I will watch these procedures in 1740 01:47:35.560 --> 01:47:38.279 the Senate and the House, and a lot of times 1741 01:47:38.600 --> 01:47:42.039 they're taking votes and you got people standing, and I'll 1742 01:47:42.079 --> 01:47:44.600 look around there, you know, there's that static shot of 1743 01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:47.600 the floor of the Senate or the floor of the 1744 01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:49.439 House when they're taking the votes, and I'll and I'll 1745 01:47:49.520 --> 01:47:51.840 just look to see if I can identify these senators 1746 01:47:51.920 --> 01:47:55.760 and see who's talking to who, and try to read 1747 01:47:55.800 --> 01:47:57.840 the body language and figure out what they're talking about. 1748 01:47:58.600 --> 01:48:01.640 But one of the things that has been happening on 1749 01:48:01.760 --> 01:48:05.520 CNN lately, and CNN their numbers are just abysmal. I mean, 1750 01:48:05.560 --> 01:48:07.840 they're getting beat by the Food Channel, they're getting beat 1751 01:48:07.920 --> 01:48:12.199 by a Nickelodeon, they're getting a CNN. Their numbers are 1752 01:48:12.560 --> 01:48:16.560 just in the crapper and MSNBC is not far behind him. 1753 01:48:18.359 --> 01:48:20.479 One of the things that CNN has done over the 1754 01:48:20.600 --> 01:48:23.800 last oh I'm gonna say it's been about five six months, 1755 01:48:24.399 --> 01:48:28.000 maybe maybe not that long, but they've got a guy 1756 01:48:28.079 --> 01:48:30.800 on Scott Jennings, and I believe he was a member 1757 01:48:30.840 --> 01:48:35.119 of Congress or a staffer at one time in Congress, 1758 01:48:35.640 --> 01:48:38.880 and he is a conservative voice and I'm just as 1759 01:48:38.960 --> 01:48:43.520 smart as a whip. And this is an appearance he made. 1760 01:48:43.560 --> 01:48:46.239 He's a contributor to a lot of their different shows, 1761 01:48:46.600 --> 01:48:48.720 so he appears on a lot of the different panels 1762 01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:55.399 that CNN puts on and his analysis has been absolutely 1763 01:48:55.920 --> 01:49:00.520 on point, absolutely killer. And this is him laying out 1764 01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:04.199 some common sense on CNN when he was asked about 1765 01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:08.800 Elon Musk. And just listen to this and I'll give 1766 01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:11.279 you my thoughts on this after we roll this cut. Joe, 1767 01:49:11.319 --> 01:49:13.479 that's cut number three. Let's hear that you have. 1768 01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:19.119 Concerns about Elon Musk's business dealings in other countries, including 1769 01:49:19.319 --> 01:49:23.119 American adversaries, and the level of influence that has over 1770 01:49:23.239 --> 01:49:25.039 his own behavior and his interest. 1771 01:49:25.239 --> 01:49:27.039 I have no concerns about Elon Musk. 1772 01:49:27.720 --> 01:49:29.720 I have been looking at pictures of Joe Biden and 1773 01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:33.880 Hunter Biden meeting with Chinese political leaders lately that we. 1774 01:49:33.920 --> 01:49:35.000 Were told didn't exist. 1775 01:49:35.079 --> 01:49:37.319 So for all the people who were really upset about 1776 01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:40.800 Elon Musk having a very successful international business that actually 1777 01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:44.880 produces things, actually produces vehicles or rockets or whatever they're doing, 1778 01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:48.159 the Biden's produced nothing, and yet we're also doing business 1779 01:49:48.159 --> 01:49:48.520 in China. 1780 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:49.520 I don't have this. 1781 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:51.119 I don't want you to change the subject, because it's 1782 01:49:51.119 --> 01:49:53.920 not really about whether he's successful business person or not. 1783 01:49:54.199 --> 01:49:57.239 It's about whether his material interests as a business owner 1784 01:49:57.560 --> 01:50:00.159 are in conflict with the United States as nationals. 1785 01:50:00.359 --> 01:50:03.800 My view is. My view is his prospects and interest 1786 01:50:03.880 --> 01:50:06.319 as a business owner, and most of the things he's 1787 01:50:06.399 --> 01:50:12.159 into electric cars, rockets, the Internet that we're using all 1788 01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:15.319 over the world. It's good for the United States to 1789 01:50:15.399 --> 01:50:17.399 be the warehouse for that. It's good for our national 1790 01:50:17.479 --> 01:50:21.600 security to have this kind of technology. I just the 1791 01:50:21.760 --> 01:50:24.079 idea that there is somehow a conflict in the United 1792 01:50:24.079 --> 01:50:27.199 States having this kind of a businessman and that's somehow 1793 01:50:27.279 --> 01:50:29.039 bad for us, I just totally rejected. 1794 01:50:29.800 --> 01:50:32.439 So there's Scott Jennings on CNN, and you get a 1795 01:50:32.520 --> 01:50:35.760 really good flavor for the kind of commentary that this 1796 01:50:35.920 --> 01:50:38.159 guy in Jacks. And there's so many people at CNN 1797 01:50:38.439 --> 01:50:41.039 who have been doing these panels and then hosting these 1798 01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:46.319 shows for such a time now that they are totally 1799 01:50:46.439 --> 01:50:50.159 unacquainted with the idea that someone is going to counter 1800 01:50:50.279 --> 01:50:53.239 the narrative that they are putting out there. And I 1801 01:50:53.319 --> 01:50:56.479 can play cut after cut, sound by after SoundBite of 1802 01:50:56.600 --> 01:51:00.560 Scott Jennings getting into it with another panelist on that show, 1803 01:51:01.239 --> 01:51:04.239 and so when she he flat out really, I mean, 1804 01:51:04.600 --> 01:51:08.600 the commentary here is brilliant. I mean, the notion that 1805 01:51:09.159 --> 01:51:13.920 we should be concerned about Elon Musk and his influence 1806 01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:17.079 on Donald Trump and whether or not it's going to 1807 01:51:17.159 --> 01:51:19.840 conflict with his business interests or he's certainly, you know, 1808 01:51:20.000 --> 01:51:22.399 just looking out for what's best for his business and 1809 01:51:22.439 --> 01:51:25.920 screwing over the American people. And Scott Jennings throws it 1810 01:51:26.039 --> 01:51:28.640 right back in her face and he says, you know, 1811 01:51:28.840 --> 01:51:32.199 I'm looking at pictures of Joe Biden meeting with his 1812 01:51:33.640 --> 01:51:38.159 son's Chinese business partners. And we have been told again 1813 01:51:38.520 --> 01:51:42.760 since before this administration started, that these things never happened. 1814 01:51:43.119 --> 01:51:47.399 That look, Hunter, Biden is just a businessman, you know, 1815 01:51:47.600 --> 01:51:51.600 people doing business overseas. Nothing unusual about that, nothing to 1816 01:51:51.680 --> 01:51:53.840 get excited about. You know, when when Don when Donald 1817 01:51:53.880 --> 01:51:57.239 Trump does it, well there's something nefarious about something that's 1818 01:51:57.479 --> 01:52:00.920 underhanded or shady. But when when Joe Hiden's son does it, 1819 01:52:01.720 --> 01:52:05.279 it's no problem whatsoever. And then of course the lie 1820 01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:08.279 after lie after lie about him not meeting with these people. 1821 01:52:08.840 --> 01:52:13.680 So Scott Jennings and the fact that this makes headlines in. 1822 01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:17.520 The circles that I look at and the things that 1823 01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:20.560 I look at should tell you an awful lot about 1824 01:52:20.680 --> 01:52:31.880 how dishonest and how you know, uh undiverse that CNN 1825 01:52:32.279 --> 01:52:35.640 has been for a long, long time, especially when it 1826 01:52:35.720 --> 01:52:37.159 comes to diversity of thought. 1827 01:52:37.399 --> 01:52:38.439 He is seven fifty five. 1828 01:52:38.520 --> 01:52:40.359 We got to get to a break news coming up 1829 01:52:40.399 --> 01:52:41.680 top of the hour, and then we'll be talking to 1830 01:52:41.720 --> 01:52:44.000 Kurt Hartman on the other side of this all kinds 1831 01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:47.119 of political things and maybe some terrorist stuff and whatever 1832 01:52:47.239 --> 01:52:50.239 else comes to mind during that conversation, so I hope 1833 01:52:50.439 --> 01:52:51.560 you can stick around for that. 1834 01:52:51.760 --> 01:52:52.960 Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. 1835 01:52:53.039 --> 01:53:00.359 Fifty five KRC the Talk Stations your voice than your. 1836 01:52:59.319 --> 01:53:01.960 Country, refreshing here it every day. 1837 01:53:02.199 --> 01:53:06.319 Fifty five krs the Talk Station.

I mean 1856 01:54:14.279 --> 01:54:15.079 twenty twenty five? 1857 01:54:15.159 --> 01:54:19.399 I go, I went into this year thinking that we're 1858 01:54:19.439 --> 01:54:21.000 going to be able to put twenty twenty four in 1859 01:54:21.039 --> 01:54:23.239 the rear view mirror. There was a lot of horrible 1860 01:54:23.279 --> 01:54:25.479 stuff that happened there. And then I get up on 1861 01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:28.319 New Year's Day and I see some dude on the 1862 01:54:28.399 --> 01:54:31.079 subway in New York City pushing a guy in front 1863 01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:34.359 of a train. There's, you know, a celebration in New 1864 01:54:34.479 --> 01:54:38.119 Orleans where fifteen people wind up dead because this guy, 1865 01:54:38.479 --> 01:54:43.239 this terrorist, is driving his truck down a street that 1866 01:54:43.439 --> 01:54:46.600 somehow the barriers weren't erected that should have been there. 1867 01:54:46.840 --> 01:54:50.279 And then we see a let me see, we've got 1868 01:54:50.439 --> 01:54:56.840 a Tesla vehicle, the signature vehicle of of Elon Musk, 1869 01:54:57.199 --> 01:55:00.800 parked in front of a Trump hotel in Los Angeles 1870 01:55:01.239 --> 01:55:04.359 that that blows up, kills the driver of that vehicle, 1871 01:55:04.720 --> 01:55:07.079 injures other people. Uh, should we be should we be 1872 01:55:07.119 --> 01:55:08.880 getting the message here? Should we be getting a little 1873 01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:09.640 bit of a wake up call? 1874 01:55:10.920 --> 01:55:11.279 I think so. 1875 01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:13.359 And it was it was Las Vegas, not Los Agles, 1876 01:55:14.079 --> 01:55:16.159 Las Vegas, okay, right, And it was. 1877 01:55:16.159 --> 01:55:18.359 A rented they were you know, they were all rented vehicles. 1878 01:55:18.399 --> 01:55:22.560 Interesting New Orleans and Las Vegas and that. Yeah, it's just, 1879 01:55:23.720 --> 01:55:25.119 you know, I think we're going to see more of 1880 01:55:25.159 --> 01:55:27.199 that stuff. I think, you you know, even though I 1881 01:55:27.239 --> 01:55:30.279 think the uh guy in New Orleans and New Orleans 1882 01:55:30.520 --> 01:55:33.760 was you know, uh a Native American, et cetera. But 1883 01:55:33.880 --> 01:55:36.359 with this massive McGray shot, you know, this stuff is 1884 01:55:37.159 --> 01:55:39.680 rarely just a powder keg ready to go off because 1885 01:55:39.720 --> 01:55:42.800 we've had so many people over the past four years, 1886 01:55:43.239 --> 01:55:46.479 you know, immigrating into this country or illegally crossing into this. 1887 01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:51.359 Country more accurately, uh with with no no no vetting people. 1888 01:55:51.439 --> 01:55:53.920 A lot of got aways, I mean millions of gataways 1889 01:55:54.000 --> 01:55:55.560 that we have no clue who they are. 1890 01:55:57.199 --> 01:55:59.800 Yeah, I think and I think good the Trump administration's 1891 01:55:59.840 --> 01:56:02.560 kind in Tom Holman as the incoming you know, borders 1892 01:56:02.600 --> 01:56:08.600 are really committed to straightening the uh dasco that was 1893 01:56:08.680 --> 01:56:11.079 the Biden administration for the past four years. 1894 01:56:11.159 --> 01:56:15.159 So I think it's just we're telling what I think 1895 01:56:15.439 --> 01:56:16.479 really needs to happen. 1896 01:56:16.520 --> 01:56:18.640 I think hopefully the American those who might have had 1897 01:56:18.760 --> 01:56:22.479 doubts might say, hey, there's more serious stuff going on. 1898 01:56:22.560 --> 01:56:25.479 That, Yeah, we really need to get control. 1899 01:56:25.279 --> 01:56:27.000 Get control of the border, get the rest of the 1900 01:56:27.079 --> 01:56:28.520 border wall built, et cetera. 1901 01:56:28.720 --> 01:56:33.079 So, uh yeah, disappointing, you know, sad way to. 1902 01:56:33.119 --> 01:56:35.479 Start the new years for everybody, but especially for the 1903 01:56:35.560 --> 01:56:39.920 people and their families who were impacted by these events. 1904 01:56:41.520 --> 01:56:43.600 You know, but I think there's a certain level of 1905 01:56:43.800 --> 01:56:46.199 but there's a certain level of optimism I think really 1906 01:56:46.399 --> 01:56:48.119 for most people, uh. 1907 01:56:48.199 --> 01:56:49.359 With with Trump coming in. 1908 01:56:50.880 --> 01:56:52.800 I have said, you know, the benefit that I think 1909 01:56:52.880 --> 01:56:57.439 Trump has, uh having having sat out a term, is 1910 01:56:57.680 --> 01:56:58.279 he's coming in. 1911 01:56:58.479 --> 01:57:02.039 He's bringing a whole new late of people in to 1912 01:57:02.199 --> 01:57:03.000 his administration. 1913 01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:05.880 You know, if he had simply won re election at 1914 01:57:05.920 --> 01:57:10.039 twenty twenty or it would have been more continuation of 1915 01:57:10.159 --> 01:57:12.560 the same. I think part of the swamp would have 1916 01:57:12.640 --> 01:57:17.239 been there still within the administration undermining him. But the 1917 01:57:17.319 --> 01:57:19.520 fact that he was out of office for four years, 1918 01:57:20.000 --> 01:57:23.199 he's now know, he's smarter, he knows what he knows 1919 01:57:23.279 --> 01:57:26.319 the game, he knows there's those elements that are trying 1920 01:57:26.399 --> 01:57:30.239 to undermine him, and so he's able to bring his 1921 01:57:30.479 --> 01:57:33.720 team in committed to his agenda, to the agenda that 1922 01:57:33.800 --> 01:57:34.800 the American people. 1923 01:57:34.680 --> 01:57:36.319 Voted for in November. 1924 01:57:36.399 --> 01:57:38.479 And so I think that that is the one benefit 1925 01:57:38.600 --> 01:57:42.159 we have going in with in a few weeks here 1926 01:57:42.239 --> 01:57:43.920 when Trump takes the oath of office. 1927 01:57:44.119 --> 01:57:46.760 Yeah, I want to talk a little bit about how 1928 01:57:46.880 --> 01:57:50.000 remarkable it is that Trump actually was able to win 1929 01:57:50.159 --> 01:57:53.560 with all the all the forces that were arrayed against him. 1930 01:57:53.600 --> 01:57:57.199 But just to finish up my thought on what's happening 1931 01:57:57.279 --> 01:58:00.399 with the border, I find it interesting this argument that 1932 01:58:00.840 --> 01:58:05.800 for so long now this administration, the Obama administration, whenever 1933 01:58:06.199 --> 01:58:09.520 places like Texas would take steps to try to secure 1934 01:58:09.560 --> 01:58:13.680 their border. And I know Obama, the administration there under 1935 01:58:14.880 --> 01:58:20.039 a Republican governor in Arizona sued those states, saying that 1936 01:58:20.119 --> 01:58:24.840 those states are interfering with the enforcement of federal law 1937 01:58:25.239 --> 01:58:28.119 when it comes to trying to take steps on their own. 1938 01:58:29.159 --> 01:58:32.520 Now we have the specter of Tom Homan, and he's 1939 01:58:32.600 --> 01:58:35.960 going to come in and engage in this mass deportation. 1940 01:58:36.399 --> 01:58:39.760 And we have so many different individuals across You've got 1941 01:58:39.840 --> 01:58:45.239 Pritzker in Illinois, You've got the governor of Washington State 1942 01:58:45.720 --> 01:58:49.319 and Oregon saying that they are going to fight tooth 1943 01:58:49.359 --> 01:58:52.520 and Nail. I think Hochel and New York has said 1944 01:58:52.560 --> 01:58:55.359 the same thing, that they're going to do everything they 1945 01:58:55.399 --> 01:59:00.319 can to prevent these deportations from from taking place. Doesn't 1946 01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:03.039 this sort of fall under the same thing that that 1947 01:59:03.239 --> 01:59:06.960 this is the jurisdiction of federal law enforcement and not 1948 01:59:07.239 --> 01:59:09.960 state law enforcement. How are they going to going to 1949 01:59:10.039 --> 01:59:13.560 reconcile those two ideas if this thing really hits the 1950 01:59:13.680 --> 01:59:15.279 fan the way it possibly could. 1951 01:59:16.439 --> 01:59:18.159 Yeah, I mean I wonder how what what are they 1952 01:59:18.239 --> 01:59:19.399 really going to be able to do? 1953 01:59:19.560 --> 01:59:23.560 You know, these governors, these Democrats city mayors who are 1954 01:59:23.800 --> 01:59:25.880 basically saying, we're going to do whatever we can to 1955 01:59:26.239 --> 01:59:28.079 stop Trump. How are they going to be able to 1956 01:59:28.159 --> 01:59:33.000 do that and not run foul of federal criminal law themselves. 1957 01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:37.279 Yeah, and that they think they almost act like they're 1958 01:59:37.359 --> 01:59:40.199 so immune. They're you know, no one can touch us. 1959 01:59:41.000 --> 01:59:44.520 Yeah, legally, but you know, they start doing certain things 1960 01:59:44.600 --> 01:59:48.199 and certain acts that start aiding and abetting the violation 1961 01:59:49.119 --> 01:59:50.640 of federal immigration law. 1962 01:59:51.600 --> 01:59:53.159 There they are committing criminal acts. 1963 01:59:53.199 --> 01:59:55.359 And I think Trump and Tom Molmer a kind of 1964 01:59:55.399 --> 01:59:57.880 in a no nonsense attitude. I think the American people 1965 01:59:58.479 --> 02:00:04.159 are in no nonsense attitude about the whole immigration fiasco, 1966 02:00:04.359 --> 02:00:07.279 that of the Biden administration that hey, they'll go after 1967 02:00:07.359 --> 02:00:10.840 them criminally and that they okay find you. That's that's 1968 02:00:10.920 --> 02:00:13.119 kind of force you. And it's not a political retribution. 1969 02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:16.399 It's not really the lawfare again against them. It's like 1970 02:00:16.640 --> 02:00:20.119 you violated the law. You're vile, you're undermining. You're not 1971 02:00:20.239 --> 02:00:24.560 only undermining, but you're actually taking proactive steps to to 1972 02:00:24.760 --> 02:00:29.520 interfere with federal law enforcement. Trump administration, I could see 1973 02:00:30.039 --> 02:00:33.680 bringing some criminal cases against public officials who engage in 1974 02:00:33.760 --> 02:00:37.039 activities like that. And I think they're gonna be looking at, 1975 02:00:37.199 --> 02:00:40.960 you know, the non governmental organizations that are been that 1976 02:00:41.079 --> 02:00:43.680 have been made billions if you will offer this whole 1977 02:00:45.079 --> 02:00:49.039 open borders of the Biden administration, you know, which is 1978 02:00:49.199 --> 02:00:51.680 even gets into you know, into child child traffic and 1979 02:00:52.079 --> 02:00:53.720 child sex trafficking, et cetera. 1980 02:00:54.479 --> 02:00:56.279 Uh, you know they've got now. I think the lightest 1981 02:00:56.359 --> 02:00:57.760 number I heard was about half. 1982 02:00:57.600 --> 02:01:01.359 A million children who came up across the border who 1983 02:01:01.439 --> 02:01:06.800 they cannot account for where they are. Tom Holmes, to 1984 02:01:06.880 --> 02:01:09.520 President Trump's credit, and and you know Tom Holman has said, 1985 02:01:09.560 --> 02:01:10.880 you know he's getting get. 1986 02:01:10.840 --> 02:01:13.239 The three priorities from President Trump. 1987 02:01:13.359 --> 02:01:15.479 You know, one is to restore the border, build the 1988 02:01:15.520 --> 02:01:18.760 board back up, or get control of the border. The 1989 02:01:18.880 --> 02:01:23.039 second is the deportations, especially of the criminal elements that have. 1990 02:01:23.399 --> 02:01:24.359 Flooded this country. 1991 02:01:24.399 --> 02:01:27.600 And the third element is find these half million children 1992 02:01:27.960 --> 02:01:30.840 that are unaccounted for, because you've got to know most 1993 02:01:30.880 --> 02:01:33.640 of them, a lot of them are basically being being 1994 02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:38.479 sex trafficked and that's not right, you know. And so 1995 02:01:38.720 --> 02:01:40.680 President Trump, to his credit, said that's one of the 1996 02:01:40.760 --> 02:01:44.479 three priorities he's given to Tom Holman with respect to 1997 02:01:44.680 --> 02:01:48.439 to immigration in the border. And so, you know, and 1998 02:01:48.560 --> 02:01:53.319 it's just amazing that, you know, the these liberals, progressive 1999 02:01:53.560 --> 02:01:57.640 governors and mayors are always touting how they're quote quote 2000 02:01:57.720 --> 02:02:00.720 for the children, for the kids, right, what about these 2001 02:02:00.760 --> 02:02:03.359 half million kids? Do they really care about them? No, 2002 02:02:03.479 --> 02:02:07.560 it's all politics. It's using people, using kids for whatever 2003 02:02:07.840 --> 02:02:11.720 ends to advance their political purpose, which is power at 2004 02:02:11.760 --> 02:02:12.399 the end of the day. 2005 02:02:12.479 --> 02:02:14.439 That that's the only political philosophy. 2006 02:02:14.560 --> 02:02:18.079 I think the far left and of the Democrat Party 2007 02:02:18.119 --> 02:02:20.279 has demonstrated themselves committed to me. 2008 02:02:21.880 --> 02:02:22.920 Yeah, you make a good point. 2009 02:02:22.960 --> 02:02:25.560 I mean that there is no seizing the political high 2010 02:02:25.640 --> 02:02:28.439 ground when you are part of the administration that has 2011 02:02:28.560 --> 02:02:32.399 overseen uh, these these hundreds of thousands of missing kids. 2012 02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:36.680 When you're talking about women and children being sold into uh, 2013 02:02:36.920 --> 02:02:41.159 sex trafficking, sex slavery, uh, you know, and and forced 2014 02:02:41.439 --> 02:02:43.319 forced labor and all the rest of it. When you 2015 02:02:43.439 --> 02:02:46.920 talk about the uh, the bodies that piled up on 2016 02:02:47.079 --> 02:02:49.760 both sides of the border, with people who are desperate 2017 02:02:50.279 --> 02:02:53.439 coming across and drowning in the river and UH and 2018 02:02:53.640 --> 02:02:56.920 dying from exposure and the everything else, you know, all 2019 02:02:57.000 --> 02:03:00.520 the trials and travails of you know, make that trip 2020 02:03:00.880 --> 02:03:04.840 from South America or Central America up through Mexico and 2021 02:03:04.920 --> 02:03:09.039 to the southern board. It is absolutely horrendous the kind 2022 02:03:09.079 --> 02:03:13.640 of things that this administration and that these advocates have overseen. 2023 02:03:14.039 --> 02:03:17.840 So the days of them trying to have the claim 2024 02:03:17.880 --> 02:03:20.720 the moral high ground on this should be over. But 2025 02:03:20.880 --> 02:03:23.239 Kurt Hartman, stay right there. We've got some other subjects 2026 02:03:23.279 --> 02:03:25.960 to talk on and touch on as we continue on, 2027 02:03:26.439 --> 02:03:29.039 so we will do that right after this quick break 2028 02:03:29.359 --> 02:03:31.800 on fifty five krc DE Talk station. 2029 02:03:32.159 --> 02:03:34.000 This is actually Aiken Eddi from the best. 2030 02:03:36.039 --> 02:03:39.359 Fifty five KRC the Talk Station eight nineteen, Dan Carroll 2031 02:03:39.359 --> 02:03:42.159 from Brian Thomas. As we continue our conversation with Kurt 2032 02:03:42.199 --> 02:03:45.159 Hartman and Kurt I sent you a couple of links 2033 02:03:45.199 --> 02:03:49.399 early this morning, and one was to the Select Subcommittee 2034 02:03:49.439 --> 02:03:51.640 that was headed up by Jim Jordan talking about the 2035 02:03:51.680 --> 02:03:54.920 weaponization of the American government. And so when you look 2036 02:03:54.960 --> 02:03:57.079 at that and you go and you go, I mean, 2037 02:03:57.119 --> 02:03:59.800 you can seventy thousand pages. Now, I don't expect you 2038 02:03:59.840 --> 02:04:01.399 to have all that read, you know, I mean I 2039 02:04:01.520 --> 02:04:03.560 sent it to you three o'clock this morning, so I 2040 02:04:03.640 --> 02:04:05.079 know you didn't have all of it read by that. 2041 02:04:05.640 --> 02:04:07.600 But as you look at these, as you look at 2042 02:04:07.640 --> 02:04:11.520 these different reports, it is a chapter and verse on 2043 02:04:11.960 --> 02:04:15.319 some of the some of the goings on that happened 2044 02:04:15.399 --> 02:04:18.279 under this administration. And I think, you know, a good 2045 02:04:18.359 --> 02:04:20.760 lawyer could look at this and say that's criminal activity. 2046 02:04:20.840 --> 02:04:24.479 That's criminal activity. That's criminal activity. So if if the 2047 02:04:24.520 --> 02:04:27.800 Trump administration looks at this and says, you know what, 2048 02:04:28.359 --> 02:04:31.920 we need to investigate this, we need to prosecute this, whatever, 2049 02:04:32.159 --> 02:04:34.800 the media is going to jump on this and say, oh, 2050 02:04:34.920 --> 02:04:38.159 it's political persecution. We knew Trump was going to go 2051 02:04:38.239 --> 02:04:41.880 after its political enemies and all the rest of it. Somehow, 2052 02:04:42.239 --> 02:04:45.840 when Joe Biden does it to Donald Trump, well it's 2053 02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:48.880 virtuous and Trump is. I mean, he's a lawbreaker. I 2054 02:04:48.960 --> 02:04:51.560 mean everyone knows that and all the rest. But when 2055 02:04:52.000 --> 02:04:54.359 I mean, what does it say about law and order 2056 02:04:54.479 --> 02:04:58.600 in this country if this administration can get away with 2057 02:04:58.880 --> 02:05:02.520 all of this stuff and none of it is brought 2058 02:05:02.600 --> 02:05:03.119 to justice. 2059 02:05:04.800 --> 02:05:07.239 Now, it's right, it's got to be a held accountability. 2060 02:05:07.279 --> 02:05:09.960 But you know, let's recognize it. You know, the whole 2061 02:05:10.039 --> 02:05:15.199 Biden administration was a story of no accountability for anything. 2062 02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:20.680 Nobody got fired over anything. You know, uh, you know, 2063 02:05:20.800 --> 02:05:25.119 the whole Afghanistan raw. You know, thirteen Americans get killed 2064 02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:30.279 because of the incompetence you know of Secretary of Austin 2065 02:05:30.359 --> 02:05:31.560 and people at the Pentagon. 2066 02:05:32.159 --> 02:05:35.560 Nobody gets held accountable. And you know, I use that 2067 02:05:35.720 --> 02:05:38.760 just kind kind of as the example. But so, what's 2068 02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:39.119 it say. 2069 02:05:39.399 --> 02:05:43.079 It's not surprising that this happened because everybody working within 2070 02:05:43.159 --> 02:05:46.079 the Biden administration kind of knew. Hey, you know, they 2071 02:05:46.199 --> 02:05:49.439 basically had the task of approval from the hires up 2072 02:05:49.520 --> 02:05:52.560 and the ultimate hire up to engage in this wallfare 2073 02:05:52.600 --> 02:05:54.239 against Trump and his supporters. 2074 02:05:55.399 --> 02:05:57.600 The fact that they need to be held accountable. 2075 02:05:57.800 --> 02:06:02.359 Yes, absolutely, yeah, I just saw them talk about these reports. 2076 02:06:02.399 --> 02:06:04.920 There was actually an article cannot yesterday or day before. 2077 02:06:05.479 --> 02:06:08.079 Just here at the end of December, the Inspector General 2078 02:06:08.239 --> 02:06:12.000 in the Department of Justice talk about three senior Justice 2079 02:06:12.039 --> 02:06:16.880 officials leaking information to the press about ongoing investigation uh, 2080 02:06:17.439 --> 02:06:19.680 just prior to the election in an effort to try 2081 02:06:19.720 --> 02:06:21.039 to influence the election. 2082 02:06:21.159 --> 02:06:22.279 I read I saw that too. 2083 02:06:22.520 --> 02:06:25.520 Yeah, I mean, that's the kind of stuff that that's 2084 02:06:25.560 --> 02:06:29.319 the kind of stuff that happened with regularity in this administration. 2085 02:06:29.439 --> 02:06:31.279 And it's a it's all it's I mean, it's all 2086 02:06:31.319 --> 02:06:35.359 coming out now in all these different reports. But on 2087 02:06:35.520 --> 02:06:38.439 one hand, I want to see these things looked at. 2088 02:06:38.479 --> 02:06:41.840 I want to see him investigated in a responsible way. 2089 02:06:42.319 --> 02:06:44.000 On the other hand, I don't want to see this 2090 02:06:44.079 --> 02:06:48.479 administration get bogged down and uh and and unable to 2091 02:06:48.560 --> 02:06:51.600 advance its own agenda because all of this other stuff 2092 02:06:51.680 --> 02:06:53.479 is going on. Do you think he's got the right 2093 02:06:53.520 --> 02:06:56.239 people in place to do both those same things at 2094 02:06:56.239 --> 02:06:56.920 the same time. 2095 02:06:58.000 --> 02:06:58.279 I think. 2096 02:06:58.319 --> 02:07:00.720 I think so he's got some smart people. I'm especially 2097 02:07:00.880 --> 02:07:03.760 optimistic with its Department of Justice and the FBI. I 2098 02:07:03.880 --> 02:07:06.840 think cash Matel because a great choice for FBI director. 2099 02:07:07.479 --> 02:07:08.920 And you know what I have said, you. 2100 02:07:08.960 --> 02:07:12.079 Know, to myself and to others is hopefully the administration, 2101 02:07:12.239 --> 02:07:15.600 the leadership he puts in the administration can keep focused 2102 02:07:15.640 --> 02:07:17.920 both not always looking in the rare view mirror, but 2103 02:07:18.039 --> 02:07:21.840 looking forward, because you need to figure out more even more. 2104 02:07:21.880 --> 02:07:24.399 I mean, these reports from the congressmen have been helpful, 2105 02:07:24.439 --> 02:07:26.199 but I think there's still more out there to look 2106 02:07:26.279 --> 02:07:29.920 back on. But that's not become so preoccupied on looking 2107 02:07:30.000 --> 02:07:32.760 back that we don't look forward, and how do we 2108 02:07:32.840 --> 02:07:35.960 put systems and checks in place going forward that this 2109 02:07:36.199 --> 02:07:41.199 never happens again, because you know, sad or happy, you know, 2110 02:07:41.239 --> 02:07:43.079 President Trump's not only going to be there for four 2111 02:07:43.199 --> 02:07:45.119 years now hopefully JD. 2112 02:07:45.279 --> 02:07:47.520 Vance or whoever continue continues the legacy. 2113 02:07:49.000 --> 02:07:52.119 But eventually, what when the Democrats come back into power 2114 02:07:52.439 --> 02:07:56.359 someday hopefully you know, several years from now. But when 2115 02:07:56.399 --> 02:07:58.039 that comes back, how do we how do we make 2116 02:07:58.079 --> 02:07:59.960 sure how do we make sure this doesn't happen again? 2117 02:08:00.000 --> 02:08:04.439 And how do we put structures and accountability in place 2118 02:08:05.279 --> 02:08:06.800 so this does not happen again? 2119 02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:07.439 You know? 2120 02:08:07.600 --> 02:08:10.359 And I think because I think that in essence, the 2121 02:08:10.399 --> 02:08:13.560 American people, you know, in the on November fifth, had 2122 02:08:13.600 --> 02:08:16.880 their voice heard and said and rejected this. You know, 2123 02:08:17.199 --> 02:08:19.640 in a certain sense, the American people on November fifth 2124 02:08:20.159 --> 02:08:24.119 were the final jury, if you will, in these cases 2125 02:08:24.239 --> 02:08:28.000 that you know were brought against Trump, the criminal cases. 2126 02:08:28.000 --> 02:08:29.520 They were the jury at the end of the day 2127 02:08:29.520 --> 02:08:32.079 and said, no, this isn't right. 2128 02:08:32.239 --> 02:08:35.479 They saw the law fare for what it was, and 2129 02:08:35.600 --> 02:08:37.439 that's I think in a certain sense, that's really what 2130 02:08:37.560 --> 02:08:41.600 November fifth was, was the jury voting and saying, you know, 2131 02:08:43.039 --> 02:08:45.439 this was wrong what they did to Trump. And I 2132 02:08:45.520 --> 02:08:49.159 don't think the left fully appreciates that still to this date. 2133 02:08:49.840 --> 02:08:52.800 But regardless, when President Trump and his people go in, 2134 02:08:53.000 --> 02:08:55.359 we need to have put things go looking forward to 2135 02:08:55.520 --> 02:08:58.600 make sure this does not happen again. And part of 2136 02:08:58.640 --> 02:09:03.479 that is accountability for those who excessively abuse their powers 2137 02:09:03.600 --> 02:09:04.600 and people. 2138 02:09:04.680 --> 02:09:06.439 You know, you and I talked about, Yeah, you and 2139 02:09:06.479 --> 02:09:09.199 I talked about some of these different cases that were 2140 02:09:09.199 --> 02:09:12.560 brought against Trump, and I think we both predicted that 2141 02:09:12.720 --> 02:09:16.960 these things would would collapse under under their own under 2142 02:09:17.000 --> 02:09:19.039 their own weight, because they were all built on such 2143 02:09:19.079 --> 02:09:21.720 a shaky foundation. And I think when you go case 2144 02:09:21.760 --> 02:09:23.880 by case of all this stuff they brought against Trump 2145 02:09:24.279 --> 02:09:26.319 that turned out by and large to be true, It's 2146 02:09:26.359 --> 02:09:30.159 not because there was someone pulling some strings somewhere or 2147 02:09:30.239 --> 02:09:34.439 he got judicial favors from people on the bench. It's 2148 02:09:34.520 --> 02:09:39.119 because there really was no no secure underpinnings on any 2149 02:09:39.720 --> 02:09:43.720 any solid legal foundation to bring these to bring these 2150 02:09:43.760 --> 02:09:44.600 cases to begin with. 2151 02:09:44.880 --> 02:09:45.720 And I think that's why. 2152 02:09:45.920 --> 02:09:48.439 And then go ahead, I was gonna say, And the 2153 02:09:48.479 --> 02:09:51.039 American people, in their wisdom saw through it. 2154 02:09:51.199 --> 02:09:53.840 Yeah, I think so I can get Let's give credit 2155 02:09:53.880 --> 02:09:55.439 to the American people for that that you have. 2156 02:09:55.600 --> 02:09:58.960 Good idea, the majority of good idea. Can you hang 2157 02:09:59.000 --> 02:09:59.960 around for one more segment? 2158 02:10:01.359 --> 02:10:02.720 I think I can yet. 2159 02:10:02.840 --> 02:10:03.920 Okay, stay right there. 2160 02:10:04.000 --> 02:10:06.920 We'll get a quick break in here and then we'll 2161 02:10:06.920 --> 02:10:08.680 wrap up with Kurt Hartman on the other side of this. 2162 02:10:08.840 --> 02:10:13.000 Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRC the Talk Station. 2163 02:10:13.159 --> 02:10:14.640 Run a business and not thinking. 2164 02:10:23.239 --> 02:10:27.000 Thursday morning, January second, twenty twenty five, New Year is 2165 02:10:27.079 --> 02:10:30.760 off and running. Not to start we were hoping for, 2166 02:10:30.960 --> 02:10:33.680 but here we are and we are continuing on with 2167 02:10:33.840 --> 02:10:37.279 Kurt Hartman and Kurt Hartman. Early this morning, I sent 2168 02:10:37.319 --> 02:10:40.359 you a link to Tom Klingenstein's website and a piece 2169 02:10:40.560 --> 02:10:43.560 entitled the Rise and Fall of the Never Trump Machine. 2170 02:10:43.560 --> 02:10:45.640 And I read this a day or so ago, and 2171 02:10:45.720 --> 02:10:48.640 I was thinking to myself. I mean, the Trump story 2172 02:10:49.079 --> 02:10:52.479 as a political story is absolutely amazing as it is. 2173 02:10:53.000 --> 02:10:56.039 But when you read this piece and you think about 2174 02:10:56.159 --> 02:10:59.199 everything that this guy has had to overcome, and not 2175 02:10:59.399 --> 02:11:02.399 only did he have to defeat the Democrat Party, not 2176 02:11:02.520 --> 02:11:05.000 only did he have to defeat the Obama and the 2177 02:11:05.720 --> 02:11:09.079 Clinton forces. Not only did he have defeat to defeat 2178 02:11:09.279 --> 02:11:13.079 the establishment Republicans. Not only did he have to defeat 2179 02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:15.960 the juggernaut of the federal government. When you talk about 2180 02:11:16.239 --> 02:11:20.199 the Justice Department investigations, and you talk about the special councils, 2181 02:11:20.439 --> 02:11:24.439 and you talk about the prosecutors in Atlanta in New York, 2182 02:11:24.760 --> 02:11:26.399 not only did he have to defeat all of that, 2183 02:11:26.800 --> 02:11:31.640 but he also had to overcome this machine of Bill 2184 02:11:31.760 --> 02:11:37.560 Crystal and Liz Cheney and the Lincoln Project, all these 2185 02:11:37.720 --> 02:11:42.479 right wingers, all these so called, you know, defenders of 2186 02:11:42.560 --> 02:11:48.079 freedom and democracy, these never Trumpsters who wound up selling 2187 02:11:48.159 --> 02:11:53.600 their souls and selling their credibility to far left multi billionaires. 2188 02:11:53.840 --> 02:11:57.159 So these were billionaires who were subsidizing people who became 2189 02:11:57.279 --> 02:12:02.439 millionaires to go out and been false narratives about Donald Trump. 2190 02:12:02.479 --> 02:12:04.359 And so when you look at all of that and 2191 02:12:04.479 --> 02:12:07.239 all these things that were arrayed against him. It is 2192 02:12:08.439 --> 02:12:13.359 almost unimaginable and remarkable in the extreme that he was 2193 02:12:13.439 --> 02:12:15.640 able to overcome all of that and is now going 2194 02:12:15.680 --> 02:12:17.520 to be in the White House on January twentieth. 2195 02:12:19.079 --> 02:12:19.279 Yeah. 2196 02:12:19.439 --> 02:12:19.640 Yeah. 2197 02:12:19.920 --> 02:12:21.920 And the other thing, not only was it remarkable that 2198 02:12:22.039 --> 02:12:25.199 he overcame it, but what's also remarkable is his willingness 2199 02:12:25.279 --> 02:12:25.800 to fight it. 2200 02:12:27.239 --> 02:12:29.920 You know, you know, in a certain sense, why did 2201 02:12:30.000 --> 02:12:31.880 President Trump need to really come back? 2202 02:12:32.319 --> 02:12:34.840 You know here he is a billionaire in his own right, 2203 02:12:35.439 --> 02:12:38.439 has you know, his real estate empire, and most a 2204 02:12:38.479 --> 02:12:40.560 lot of this, most of this probably would never happened 2205 02:12:40.600 --> 02:12:43.239 if he was not running for president in twenty twenty four. 2206 02:12:44.439 --> 02:12:46.600 Yeah, there was. Part of this was all part of. 2207 02:12:46.600 --> 02:12:49.760 An organized collective effort to try to take him out, 2208 02:12:49.880 --> 02:12:51.479 to defeat him in twenty twenty four. 2209 02:12:51.680 --> 02:12:53.319 But if he had said, you know what, I've done it, 2210 02:12:53.439 --> 02:12:54.079 I've had enough. 2211 02:12:54.199 --> 02:12:57.359 I'm just going back to my business, I would mention 2212 02:12:57.520 --> 02:12:59.199 most of this, if not all, of this would not 2213 02:12:59.279 --> 02:12:59.680 have happened. 2214 02:12:59.720 --> 02:13:04.640 Again to his credit. But to his credit, you know, 2215 02:13:04.720 --> 02:13:05.640 I think it was. 2216 02:13:05.680 --> 02:13:07.640 His commitment, maybe a little bit of his ego, but 2217 02:13:07.840 --> 02:13:11.680 abot it's's commitment to this country to say, no, we 2218 02:13:11.840 --> 02:13:13.600 have some serious issues in this country. 2219 02:13:14.079 --> 02:13:15.399 I want to fight for this country. 2220 02:13:15.439 --> 02:13:17.439 I want to fight for these issues, and I'll fight 2221 02:13:17.560 --> 02:13:19.520 these people who are coming after me in court. 2222 02:13:19.720 --> 02:13:20.199 Think about it. 2223 02:13:20.199 --> 02:13:21.880 He was up in New York in a New York 2224 02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:24.960 state court for weeks on end, having to go to 2225 02:13:25.079 --> 02:13:28.319 trial right during the campaign, you know, and this was 2226 02:13:28.359 --> 02:13:30.920 part of that law fair we're gonna star him, we're 2227 02:13:30.920 --> 02:13:34.359 gonna smear him, we're gonna distract him from the campaign. 2228 02:13:34.920 --> 02:13:36.640 And he had to sit in a courtroom for several 2229 02:13:36.720 --> 02:13:37.239 weeks there. 2230 02:13:38.760 --> 02:13:41.439 Who would do that, you know, you you me or 2231 02:13:41.479 --> 02:13:44.760 anybody else who would do that knowing that, Hey, yeah, 2232 02:13:44.800 --> 02:13:45.720 I don't need the job. 2233 02:13:46.359 --> 02:13:49.279 I got plenty of money, Yeah, I got my family, 2234 02:13:49.520 --> 02:13:52.000 et cetera. He was willing to do it and do 2235 02:13:52.119 --> 02:13:54.800 the fight, and he fought constantly, had to fight there. 2236 02:13:54.880 --> 02:13:57.399 He had the lawyers fighting in Florida in the federal 2237 02:13:57.479 --> 02:13:59.279 courty of the lawyers in Georgia. 2238 02:13:59.359 --> 02:14:02.479 You know, uh, Unfortunately I wasn't one of the lawyers. 2239 02:14:02.560 --> 02:14:04.359 But it's like, you know, lawyers, it was a lawyer, 2240 02:14:04.439 --> 02:14:09.119 employment lawyer, Employment Act or the employee deployment actions on 2241 02:14:09.199 --> 02:14:10.159 behalf of the Democrats. 2242 02:14:10.239 --> 02:14:12.359 But it's like, give him credit. He was fighting it. 2243 02:14:13.319 --> 02:14:16.760 He was fighting it and ultimately vindicated by the American 2244 02:14:16.800 --> 02:14:20.520 people in November fifth. But it is amazing that article 2245 02:14:20.560 --> 02:14:22.640 you did say. It's a little like the article, but 2246 02:14:23.000 --> 02:14:27.920 it's a you know, it was really confirming the existence 2247 02:14:28.000 --> 02:14:31.520 of the swamp. The old Guard Rhinos, uh what I 2248 02:14:31.720 --> 02:14:34.319 with my day and probably your day, referred to as 2249 02:14:34.439 --> 02:14:38.439 Rockefeller Republicans, you know, the far left of the Republican Party, 2250 02:14:39.600 --> 02:14:44.640 who are very establishment, who are very pro government, who 2251 02:14:44.680 --> 02:14:48.039 are who believe themselves to be smarter than anybody else. 2252 02:14:48.159 --> 02:14:50.840 Therefore where we want the government in because we are 2253 02:14:50.880 --> 02:14:52.319 going to control the government. 2254 02:14:52.000 --> 02:14:53.760 To tell you how to live your lives. 2255 02:14:54.399 --> 02:14:56.680 And these were people who are really in essence for 2256 02:14:56.880 --> 02:15:00.560 just were and have been out of touch when the Republic, 2257 02:15:00.680 --> 02:15:04.920 with the Republican base and with the American people. You know, 2258 02:15:05.039 --> 02:15:08.000 the nature of this country historically, you know, the founding 2259 02:15:08.039 --> 02:15:11.720 of it is this very individualistic spirit of you know, 2260 02:15:11.920 --> 02:15:15.960 fighting for yourself, of working hard, of improving yourselves, your lot, 2261 02:15:16.039 --> 02:15:19.600 your family lots, with the traditional American dream, and this 2262 02:15:19.720 --> 02:15:23.119 whole concept of government is is better this, you know, 2263 02:15:23.520 --> 02:15:24.479 And it's that addage. 2264 02:15:24.560 --> 02:15:28.640 It's the swamp. And these are just the Republicans. 2265 02:15:28.199 --> 02:15:31.840 Part of the swamp, part of that power structure, and 2266 02:15:31.920 --> 02:15:34.960 they saw and appreciates that with Trump their power structure 2267 02:15:35.000 --> 02:15:38.239 and power influence was going to be disrupted. 2268 02:15:38.479 --> 02:15:40.119 And they they did not like that. 2269 02:15:40.399 --> 02:15:43.720 Right, people tend to take drastic actions and somebody feels 2270 02:15:43.760 --> 02:15:47.199 and sees that they're losing power, especially those who are. 2271 02:15:47.199 --> 02:15:51.600 So who need, whose needs and existence is power. 2272 02:15:52.159 --> 02:15:54.000 When they see they're going to lose that power, they 2273 02:15:54.079 --> 02:15:57.600 get very nasty and very vindictive. And that was confirmed 2274 02:15:57.640 --> 02:16:00.359 during these past four years. Quote from the demo that's 2275 02:16:00.600 --> 02:16:03.319 the Biden administration, the Democrats, and the far left, but 2276 02:16:03.439 --> 02:16:06.880 also from from these you know, you know, never Trump 2277 02:16:06.960 --> 02:16:09.760 or Republicans, and you know, it's beautiful. I think the 2278 02:16:09.880 --> 02:16:11.680 kind of the conclusion of the article, not only was 2279 02:16:11.760 --> 02:16:15.279 it very revealing how the far left was financing this, 2280 02:16:16.079 --> 02:16:18.319 but it's kind of like it's the demise of the 2281 02:16:18.439 --> 02:16:22.520 never Trump camp, because you know, it's it's amazing, uh 2282 02:16:22.800 --> 02:16:25.119 comically amazing that you look at them, you know, since 2283 02:16:25.199 --> 02:16:28.520 Trump has won the election in November, all the people 2284 02:16:29.159 --> 02:16:32.559 who are making their pilgrimage if you will, down tomorrow lago, 2285 02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:37.079 people who people who had nothing and wanted nothing to 2286 02:16:37.159 --> 02:16:40.799 do with Trump during his first term. Are literally going 2287 02:16:40.879 --> 02:16:42.719 down there and kissing the ring if you will. 2288 02:16:43.360 --> 02:16:45.040 H Hey, he had a meeting. He had a meeting 2289 02:16:45.040 --> 02:16:47.040 the other day with the mayor of d C. For 2290 02:16:47.200 --> 02:16:49.959 God's sake. Yes, I mean, I mean imagine that. 2291 02:16:50.319 --> 02:16:53.239 But no, it is very satisfying because you look at 2292 02:16:53.280 --> 02:16:55.479 this and you see people like Mona Charon and Bill 2293 02:16:55.559 --> 02:16:59.200 Crystal and and some of these other never trumpers, and 2294 02:17:00.159 --> 02:17:03.399 I think to myself, what are they going to do 2295 02:17:03.600 --> 02:17:06.200 now They've been exposed for the frauds that they are. 2296 02:17:06.559 --> 02:17:09.479 How out of touch they are. You wonder how Kamala 2297 02:17:09.559 --> 02:17:13.040 Harris blew through a billion plus dollars during the course 2298 02:17:13.079 --> 02:17:16.200 of one hundred day long campaign, and this pretty much 2299 02:17:16.280 --> 02:17:18.959 explains it. I mean, they really had access to unlimited 2300 02:17:19.000 --> 02:17:22.440 amounts of money and still couldn't bring this guy down. 2301 02:17:22.719 --> 02:17:26.879 So any shred of credibility that they had amongst these 2302 02:17:26.959 --> 02:17:31.760 hardcore left wing power hungry groups has been completely eviscerated. 2303 02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:36.159 And at some point, the look, these people don't give up, 2304 02:17:36.479 --> 02:17:38.680 do they. They don't give up. You know, they're going 2305 02:17:38.760 --> 02:17:41.920 to fall back and regroup and at some point try 2306 02:17:41.959 --> 02:17:43.399 and raise their ugly head once again. 2307 02:17:45.200 --> 02:17:47.200 Right, You're right, they don't give up, because again it 2308 02:17:47.280 --> 02:17:53.200 goes back to power, their their power, their influence, stairy control, 2309 02:17:53.360 --> 02:17:55.719 and if they are losing it, or if they've lost it, 2310 02:17:56.079 --> 02:18:00.360 they're not going to give up absolutely, you. 2311 02:18:00.360 --> 02:18:02.840 Know, you know, kick screen do whatever they have to do, 2312 02:18:02.920 --> 02:18:05.120 and they confirmed it, you know, to do it. 2313 02:18:05.239 --> 02:18:06.920 It's interesting, you know, you talk with you know, some 2314 02:18:07.000 --> 02:18:09.040 people like Bill christ and Stuffing because some of. 2315 02:18:09.040 --> 02:18:11.079 These people were involved in the Reagan administration. 2316 02:18:11.280 --> 02:18:15.319 Yeah, and you almost gets me wondering were these some 2317 02:18:15.440 --> 02:18:18.680 of the people undermining the Reagan administration? You know, Ray, 2318 02:18:18.760 --> 02:18:20.879 I think Reagan was you know, great president, my first 2319 02:18:20.920 --> 02:18:24.040 president when I was voting, and the committed to this 2320 02:18:24.280 --> 02:18:26.959 you know, realignment if you will, of the Republican Party. 2321 02:18:27.520 --> 02:18:30.000 You know, he he he was now the Goldwater wing 2322 02:18:30.079 --> 02:18:32.840 of the party, not the Rockefeller wing.

Elsewhere, 2379 02:21:21.040 --> 02:21:24.079 traffic in decent shape. They cleared the wreck north to 2380 02:21:24.360 --> 02:21:27.920 seventy five near Kilby Chucking Ver Month fifty five kre 2381 02:21:28.079 --> 02:21:29.520 C DE talk station. 2382 02:21:44.600 --> 02:21:50.639 Good stuff right there, little rolling stones, Joe Strekker rolling 2383 02:21:50.680 --> 02:21:53.239 out all the hits today five one, three, seven, four, nine, 2384 02:21:53.360 --> 02:21:57.639 fifty five hundred. As we close in on nine o'clock 2385 02:21:57.760 --> 02:21:59.600 eight forty three, Joe, we got to hit a break 2386 02:21:59.639 --> 02:22:03.399 here again. Two minutes. I got two minutes to a break, 2387 02:22:03.440 --> 02:22:05.600 all right. I want to play that sound bite one 2388 02:22:05.639 --> 02:22:08.319 more time that that Trump put out on social media. 2389 02:22:08.399 --> 02:22:10.200 We'll do that after the break here. If you haven't 2390 02:22:10.239 --> 02:22:12.920 heard that yet, it's pretty good. It's about two and 2391 02:22:12.959 --> 02:22:18.360 a half minutes of political commentator, two and a half 2392 02:22:18.399 --> 02:22:21.959 minutes of TV people, two and a half minutes of 2393 02:22:22.280 --> 02:22:24.440 carn John Pierre, two and a half minutes of Nancy 2394 02:22:24.520 --> 02:22:26.920 Pelosi and all these other Democrats. 2395 02:22:26.680 --> 02:22:30.799 Talking about how sharp Joe Biden is. And Trump put that. 2396 02:22:30.920 --> 02:22:35.559 Out on his social media the other day, and it 2397 02:22:35.719 --> 02:22:37.840 is worth. I played it earlier today, but it's worth 2398 02:22:37.879 --> 02:22:40.159 I'll listen once again. So we will do that after 2399 02:22:40.239 --> 02:22:44.319 the break here in the meantime, when Kurt Hartman touched 2400 02:22:44.360 --> 02:22:46.680 on the things that Trump wants to do when he 2401 02:22:46.760 --> 02:22:50.399 gets in office and what is going to be energy policy, 2402 02:22:51.399 --> 02:22:54.840 and Trump is going to have a vision of energy 2403 02:22:54.959 --> 02:22:57.799 that is way different than what Joe Biden had when 2404 02:22:57.840 --> 02:23:01.440 he promised to end fossil fuel. Trump is dismissive of 2405 02:23:01.520 --> 02:23:05.319 the immediate climate crisis narrative that drove much of Biden's 2406 02:23:05.440 --> 02:23:07.840 energy policy, but of course he's beholden to the. 2407 02:23:07.879 --> 02:23:08.799 Left on that as well. 2408 02:23:09.600 --> 02:23:15.040 He promises to establish American energy dominance and focus policy 2409 02:23:15.120 --> 02:23:18.879 on bringing down energy costs. Trump said he would end 2410 02:23:18.879 --> 02:23:22.200 the Biden Harris administration anti energy crusade and implement a 2411 02:23:22.280 --> 02:23:28.040 policy of energy abundance, energy independence, and energy dominance. Said 2412 02:23:28.040 --> 02:23:31.159 would include getting the price of gasoline down below two 2413 02:23:31.280 --> 02:23:35.280 dollars a gallon. So Trump has laid out a lot 2414 02:23:35.319 --> 02:23:39.559 of promises out there, and hopefully he'll be able to 2415 02:23:39.639 --> 02:23:43.680 keep these promises. And when it comes to energy policy, 2416 02:23:44.600 --> 02:23:47.120 I say full steam ahead, because if we are going 2417 02:23:47.200 --> 02:23:51.479 to see a reawakening and a revitalizing of this economy 2418 02:23:52.040 --> 02:23:54.239 on the likes of which we have not seen. 2419 02:23:54.120 --> 02:23:55.200 In a long, long time. 2420 02:23:56.479 --> 02:23:58.120 And we are reminded the other day of just how 2421 02:23:58.200 --> 02:24:01.879 bad things were with the passing Agejimmy Carter. And if 2422 02:24:01.959 --> 02:24:04.159 you remember, if you're old enough to remember the term 2423 02:24:04.280 --> 02:24:09.680 stagflation back when Jimmy Carter was president, I think we 2424 02:24:09.799 --> 02:24:11.719 were headed for that if we would have had another 2425 02:24:11.840 --> 02:24:14.600 term of Biden. And thank god that is not going 2426 02:24:14.680 --> 02:24:16.520 to happen. Let's get a quick break in here, and 2427 02:24:16.559 --> 02:24:18.799 then we will continue on the other side, and we'll 2428 02:24:19.200 --> 02:24:22.360 play that sound bite that that Trump posted on this 2429 02:24:22.479 --> 02:24:24.920 social media. It is definitely something you want to hear 2430 02:24:25.239 --> 02:24:27.440 on fifty five KRC, the talk station. 2431 02:24:28.760 --> 02:24:30.000 At Donovan's poem. 2432 02:24:33.159 --> 02:24:35.280 The ninth first warning by the forecast, we're looking at 2433 02:24:35.280 --> 02:24:38.840 partly cloudy or I'm sorry, mostly cloudy skies today, a 2434 02:24:38.959 --> 02:24:42.319 high of thirty eight, some snow expected to kick in 2435 02:24:42.520 --> 02:24:46.000 sometime tonight, and then by this time tomorrow, perhaps an 2436 02:24:46.079 --> 02:24:48.239 inch on the ground, maybe a little less. 2437 02:24:48.799 --> 02:24:51.920 I'm gonna I'm gonna opt towards the less side on 2438 02:24:52.079 --> 02:24:53.399 that one. I don't think it's going to be all 2439 02:24:53.440 --> 02:24:54.000 that horrible. 2440 02:24:54.360 --> 02:24:56.840 The other night, low twenty eight, partly cloudy on Friday, 2441 02:24:57.840 --> 02:25:00.680 high of thirty three and then really cold for Friday 2442 02:25:00.719 --> 02:25:07.200 into Saturday. Friday's overnight eighteen and only a twenty nine 2443 02:25:07.280 --> 02:25:09.479 for a high on Friday, so the cold weather is 2444 02:25:09.559 --> 02:25:12.719 coming in. It is thirty one at fifty five KRC 2445 02:25:12.879 --> 02:25:16.040 the talk station from the ucl Traffic Center.

Still 2452 02:25:34.479 --> 02:25:37.239 a bit of a slow go there. Elsewhere inter State 2453 02:25:37.319 --> 02:25:40.399 traffic looks good. Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs seed 2454 02:25:40.479 --> 02:25:49.399 the talk station, heading down the homestretch on this Thursday morning. 2455 02:25:50.159 --> 02:25:52.239 Glad to be always my pleasure to sit in for 2456 02:25:53.440 --> 02:25:56.200 Brian Thomas. Only one day this week, Kevin Gordon here tomorrow, 2457 02:25:56.239 --> 02:25:57.680 then Brian Thomas back on Monday. 2458 02:25:59.000 --> 02:26:02.600 And on Monday this week. Not Joe. 2459 02:26:02.760 --> 02:26:04.680 I'm looking at there's a there's a picture of Joe 2460 02:26:04.719 --> 02:26:09.200 Biden in this article. I'm looking at Donald Trump posted 2461 02:26:09.479 --> 02:26:13.319 a video that is people put together, and it is 2462 02:26:14.040 --> 02:26:17.360 it is very well done. It starts off with carn 2463 02:26:17.479 --> 02:26:22.360 John Pierre. Then you're going to hear Alejandro Mayorchis in 2464 02:26:22.479 --> 02:26:24.879 this clip. You will hear Nancy Pelosi in this clip. 2465 02:26:24.920 --> 02:26:31.120 You will hear that the Senator Kons. Wait, I'm trying 2466 02:26:31.120 --> 02:26:33.079 to think where he's what I want to say, he's 2467 02:26:33.079 --> 02:26:35.040 from Connecticut. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I don't know 2468 02:26:35.159 --> 02:26:38.520 Chris Coons, but he's he's a fool. You're going to 2469 02:26:38.600 --> 02:26:44.440 hear Chuck Schumer and other assorted Democrats talking about Joe Biden. 2470 02:26:44.559 --> 02:26:47.000 And this is the sort of thing that those of 2471 02:26:47.120 --> 02:26:50.079 us who know better were subject to over the last 2472 02:26:50.159 --> 02:26:53.440 couple of years. And only now are we really finding 2473 02:26:53.479 --> 02:26:55.559 out the truth of the matter. I mean, it's truth 2474 02:26:55.600 --> 02:26:58.200 that we knew all along. But of course with the 2475 02:26:58.280 --> 02:27:00.280 reporting that came out last week in the Wall Street 2476 02:27:00.360 --> 02:27:04.719 Journal talking about how all of this is true.
