Speaker 1: Is it just me or does it feel like a Monday?
Speaker 1: I mean I've had to check more than once to
Speaker 1: confirm that today is indeed a Thursday. And these holidays, Joe,
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, these holidays in the middle
Speaker 1: of the week, man, I get my days just completely
Speaker 1: mixed up, especially after their football That's true. Although we
Speaker 1: didn't have the Sugar Bowl yesterday, we might have it tonight.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But in any case, it is five am on this
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, second day of January twenty twenty five. Happy
Speaker 1: New Year to you. I'm Dan Carroll And for Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: Is Brian Thomas back tomorrow or Monday?
Speaker 2: Monday?
Speaker 1: So he'll be back Monday. So I get my chance
Speaker 1: to sit in one more day and hang out with
Speaker 1: the with the great Brian Thomas audience. And you know
Speaker 1: I walked in. Well, let me start with this. I
Speaker 1: got up this morning and whenever I agree to do
Speaker 1: this shift. And I've been doing early morning news and
Speaker 1: radio for a long time, on and off, more off
Speaker 1: than on in the last few years. But I love
Speaker 1: coming in here do the early morning shift. I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem getting out of bed early in the morning.
Speaker 1: But there's always that little bit of that little bit
Speaker 1: of apprehension, and I you know, I tell Joe, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to come in on this day, and you
Speaker 1: know you need me on this day to do for
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas show.
Speaker 2: I'll be there.
Speaker 1: There's always that little bit of a thought in the
Speaker 1: back of my head, what if I.
Speaker 2: Don't wake up on time? What if I don't get up?
Speaker 3: Joe?
Speaker 1: What would you do if I if I didn't show
Speaker 1: up here in the you know, early morning. He's got backups.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking. But I always think that, and I
Speaker 1: always make doubly sure that my alarm is set that
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of going to go off at
Speaker 1: about three fifteen in the morning and I'm going to
Speaker 1: jump out of bed, and that I really don't feel
Speaker 1: good about it until it's I don't know, a few
Speaker 1: minutes after four o'clock and I'm on the road and
Speaker 1: I'm driving to the station, and that's when I know
Speaker 1: that this is really going to happen. But there's always
Speaker 1: that little thing in the back of I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 2: And I did.
Speaker 1: I did a couple of days last week, just one
Speaker 1: day this week but it's it's always it's always a
Speaker 1: little bit of an accomplishment to overcome that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It's like any New Year's resolution you have anything like that,
Speaker 1: the first thing you gotta do is you got to
Speaker 1: you got to take that first step.
Speaker 2: You got to get started.
Speaker 1: That's the hardest part to a lot of these New
Speaker 1: Year's resolutions. And I don't really do New Year's resolutions,
Speaker 1: although I do have one this year, and that is
Speaker 1: the cell phone I have is a it's an Android,
Speaker 1: it's old.
Speaker 2: It is starting to swirl the drain. I'll be Joe.
Speaker 1: I'm at that point now where I'll look at my
Speaker 1: battery life and I'll have one minute, I'll have forty
Speaker 1: or forty five percent battery life, and then two minutes
Speaker 1: later I've got nothing. And I think that's a pretty
Speaker 1: clear indicator that this thing is on its last legs.
Speaker 1: So where I used to be able to get away
Speaker 1: with charging it up once a day, now it's on
Speaker 1: the charger two, three, four times a day. And when
Speaker 1: I've got it on the charger, I'm running around the house,
Speaker 1: I'm doing other stuff, and I kind of forget about
Speaker 1: it and I get back and oh my god, I
Speaker 1: got text messages, emails, all this stuff, and so people
Speaker 1: think I'm not responding to them.
Speaker 2: But that's me.
Speaker 1: I got up this morning, come outside and I look
Speaker 1: up a crystal clear sky. You see all kinds of stars.
Speaker 1: It's brisk, I mean, it's cold, cold enough to get
Speaker 1: your attention. And I'm thinking to myself, man, is what
Speaker 1: a beautiful morning. It's clear, you can see everything. And
Speaker 1: then by the time I got here, cloud cover had
Speaker 1: moved in, so we're I mean, and I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the forecast and there's there's cloudy, chance of snow, maybe
Speaker 1: some snow on the ground, so.
Speaker 2: We will get to that in a few minutes.
Speaker 1: The other thing is I walk into the studio this
Speaker 1: morning and on the console here in the studio is
Speaker 1: a printed out version of the Festivist Report, and it's
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably twenty twenty five pages.
Speaker 2: And we talked about this.
Speaker 1: I think it came out it was either last week
Speaker 1: or late the week before. In any case, I was
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, you know, there there's so much stuff
Speaker 1: in there. I talked about it on this station, I
Speaker 1: talked about it down the hall, and there's so many
Speaker 1: things in there that there's no way we covered it
Speaker 1: all just it's there's just no way. And I'm thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, we should still be talking about that. We
Speaker 1: should be examining something like that thoroughly, to talk about
Speaker 1: all the waste and everything else that goes on with
Speaker 1: this government and how much money is spent on.
Speaker 2: Just just garbage. But no, we can't know.
Speaker 1: No, we're not talking about that anymore because now we
Speaker 1: have terrorist attacks to deal with. And if you listen
Speaker 1: to the news yesterday, you've got this, uh, this police chief,
Speaker 1: Hanny Kirkpatrick, who I didn't know until this morning, used
Speaker 1: to be the police chief of Oakland. She was fired,
Speaker 1: sued the city of Oakland, a jury found that she
Speaker 1: was wrongly terminated there, and then if you google headlines
Speaker 1: about this police chief, you'll see that she was investigated
Speaker 1: earlier this year for hitting a couple of pedestrians while
Speaker 1: she was driving. So, look, I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: the police chief in New Orleans, but is there is
Speaker 1: it right to ask questions about the leadership there? I
Speaker 1: mean I think so, And especially when you get to
Speaker 1: the point where you have thousands of people on the
Speaker 1: street and you know they're going to be there, and
Speaker 1: you can't secure that street. I think we do a
Speaker 1: great job of that here in Cincinnati. And I was
Speaker 1: thinking of all the events that we have in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: where we know there are going to be thousands of
Speaker 1: people out on the street. And forget just the regular
Speaker 1: events like a Bengals game or a Reds game or
Speaker 1: a concert downtown. I'm talking about Opening Day, Taste of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati october Fest. You've been down there when we have
Speaker 1: those events, you know what it's like trying to get
Speaker 1: in there. I mean there are barricades all over the place,
Speaker 1: and getting a vehicle in there, you know it's not
Speaker 1: going to happen. But somehow in New Orleans on New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve. Does anyone think that on New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: in New Orleans that there's not going to be people
Speaker 1: out on the street on Bourbon Street partying all night long?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think.
Speaker 1: I would think they had a pretty good clue that
Speaker 1: that was going to be a pretty busy place and
Speaker 1: that there was a nationally televised football game Notre Dame
Speaker 1: and the University of Georgia, thousands of their fans are
Speaker 1: going to be in town. Were they likely to be
Speaker 1: down on Bourbon Street partying and raising hell, I think so.
Speaker 1: And so when you have a national event like this,
Speaker 1: local police tends to work with federal agencies to provide
Speaker 1: security for those events. And so when I get up
Speaker 1: and I see the news yesterday morning the ten people
Speaker 1: are dead and now the number is fifteen dead of
Speaker 1: this dude driving his truck into that crowd, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, this is a pretty basic thing for security
Speaker 1: is blocking off the streets, making sure vehicles cannot go
Speaker 1: down those streets.
Speaker 2: And that very basic task failed.
Speaker 1: And we've got all the you know, all the the
Speaker 1: FBI is raise your hand if you're if you're.
Speaker 2: If you're feeling good about the FBI investigating this.
Speaker 1: Raise your hand if you're convinced that they'll get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of this and eventually we'll have all the answers.
Speaker 1: When John Kennedy was at that news conference yesterday and
Speaker 1: and he said what he said, he said, look, I
Speaker 1: want you to do your investigation. He said, he's spoken
Speaker 1: to the head of Homeland Security, Alejandro Majorcis, who's been
Speaker 1: lying to us repeatedly for the last four years about
Speaker 1: homeland security, the border being secured. Joe Biden being sharp
Speaker 1: as attack, lie after lie after lie, and Kennedy said,
Speaker 1: do your investigation and then tell the American people the truth.
Speaker 1: And there's a reason he said that, because he knows
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot more about this, about what's
Speaker 1: really going on than we do. And this is this
Speaker 1: is his home turf, and he's not happy about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm not happy about it, and you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: happy about it, and no one should be happy about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, I get up yesterday morning, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, brand new year is going to be a
Speaker 1: great year.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four is in the rear view mirror. Thank god.
Speaker 1: This administration of the nightmare of Joe Biden and company
Speaker 1: is over.
Speaker 2: And we've got a terrorist attack.
Speaker 1: We've got the Tesla truck blowing up at Trump Tower
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. I see video of this dude on Joe.
Speaker 1: Did you see that video of the dude on the
Speaker 1: subway in New York pushing that guy in front of
Speaker 1: the train. This is how this year is going to start.
Speaker 1: On top of all the aviation stuff we had going
Speaker 1: on last week, there's a lot to get to. So
Speaker 1: we will do that during the course of the morning.
Speaker 1: And I hope you can stick around for it. Dan
Speaker 1: Hills will be here in the seven o'clock hour and
Speaker 1: we'll get his take on security and all the rest
Speaker 1: of it. And then our buddy Kurt Hartman will be
Speaker 1: joining us in the eight o'clock hour, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of political stuff that I want to get to
Speaker 1: with him. Also, the crime numbers are out for the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati and.
Speaker 2: We'll touch on that as well.
Speaker 1: So a lot of ground to cover this morning, and
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around for Dan Carroll in
Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas on fifty five krc V talk station.
Speaker 2: You paid him.
Speaker 1: It's no Joe's asking me if I'm in the twilight
Speaker 1: z on I'm just listening to this music.
Speaker 2: I like this music. We might be in the twilight zone.
Speaker 2: It's Stan Carroll and for Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: One of the websites I go to every day is
Speaker 1: John Solomon's site, Just the Just the News. A great
Speaker 1: reporting there, and they put this piece up this morning.
Speaker 1: A year before a twin New Year's Day incidents in
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Las Vegas dark in the start of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, the Department of Homeland Security commissioned a
Speaker 1: study that warrened America was facing a new era of
Speaker 1: terrorism and was ill prepared to protect citizens from that threat.
Speaker 1: Attacks on soft targets and crowded places represent a significant
Speaker 1: challenge to the security environment. RAN Corporation's Homeland Security Operational
Speaker 1: Analysis Center reported to the agency, urging a signific could
Speaker 1: change in posture for a security apparatus that spent two
Speaker 1: decades hardening defense against the sort of foreign inspired and
Speaker 1: spectacular attacks that al Qaeda pulled off on September eleventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, rather than flying planes in the hardened
Speaker 1: security targets of major institutions like the Pentagon or the
Speaker 1: World Trade Center towers. A growing number of foreign inspired
Speaker 1: or domestic grown terrorists and mass shooters have deployed low
Speaker 1: level tactics, vehicles, improvised explosive devices, and guns, And weren't
Speaker 1: all three of those used yesterday in that attack Fox
Speaker 1: News and I guess there's some question this morning about
Speaker 1: whether or not they really did find the ied So
Speaker 1: Fox News was reporting yesterday the two of them had
Speaker 1: been disabled. But we'll see if that reporting continues about
Speaker 1: the possible IEDs that were discovered in and around the
Speaker 1: scene there and I guess that's why they canceled the
Speaker 1: game yesterday, because they weren't sure if the Supernome was
Speaker 1: being targeted as well. But I go back to the
Speaker 1: report vehicles, IEDs and guns on targets with less security
Speaker 1: but still house large numbers of potential human victims. Drivers
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin in twenty twenty two Germany in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two plowed through Christmas Day gatherings with extreme wethought consequences.
Speaker 1: Shooters from Buffalo, New York, to Charleston, South Carolina, Orlando, Florida,
Speaker 1: San Bernardino, California claimed numerous victims by focusing on stores, schools,
Speaker 1: houses of worship that have lower security postures. Plots the
Speaker 1: plant improvised explosive devices multiplied in the last decade to
Speaker 1: just a news review of ten years a mass casualty
Speaker 1: incident showed. Meanwhile, such soft targets have been provided little
Speaker 1: training and security guidance. Rand warned, So this report came
Speaker 1: out a year ago, and where was Homeland Security on this?
Speaker 1: Maybe they were working with local departments. Dan Hills might
Speaker 1: have some insight on that. We will find out. We
Speaker 1: know they've been very concerned about diversity and equity and inclusion.
Speaker 1: We are fully aware of that. We know they've been
Speaker 1: busy gaslighting about what's happening at the border. We know
Speaker 1: they have concerned themselves with making sure illegal aliens in
Speaker 1: this country get treated as kindly as they possibly can.
Speaker 1: That's the kind we know that. You know they've been
Speaker 1: telling us that Joe Biden's sharp as attack. But when
Speaker 1: the serious business of what they are suppose to be
Speaker 1: doing confronts them, what happens?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 1: Anyone, anyone got a clue on that? We found little,
Speaker 1: specifically on how to secure open spaces and non secured
Speaker 1: buildings that almost by definition do not have more intensive
Speaker 1: security measures. The report warned. What little is present sometimes
Speaker 1: includes surveillance cameras and other sensors for areas that have
Speaker 1: shot detection. The only reliable security measures present, however, is
Speaker 1: the bystanders themselves. The bystanders themselves are our security measures.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit more to this, but we got
Speaker 1: to get to a quick break here, so we will
Speaker 1: go ahead and.
Speaker 2: Do that now.
Speaker 1: But the one thing that and Joe, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: all the reporting on this yet. Has the FBI come
Speaker 1: out yet and said this guy was on our radar. Okay,
Speaker 1: we know he was in the army. They made a
Speaker 1: big deal yesterday about him being a citizen of the
Speaker 1: United States. I don't think Donald Trump helped anything with
Speaker 1: the statement that he put out. Uh, he's I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just got a coolest jets sometimes when it comes
Speaker 1: to attaching everything to the border. So I think that
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a misstep by the Trumpster.
Speaker 1: So now we'll continue on with this. And I'm just
Speaker 1: really angry about this about how this whole thing could
Speaker 1: come to pass. Five one, three, seven, fifty five hundred
Speaker 1: the number to call if you want to get on board.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRCV talk station.
Speaker 3: I am sick.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krc I've been
Speaker 1: talking about this report, and justin news that the RAM
Speaker 1: Corporation put out a report over a year ago talking
Speaker 1: about soft targets exactly like what happened in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: and they write that the report was as academic as
Speaker 1: it was prescient. On Wednesday, police said an Army veteran
Speaker 1: apparently radicalized to support ISIS, drove his vehicle bearing an
Speaker 1: ISIS flag into the crowd in the French Quarter, New Orleans,
Speaker 1: where scorers were celebrating New Year's Eve, claiming fifteen lives
Speaker 1: and injuring many more. The driver, forty two year old
Speaker 1: Sam should Ding Jabbar of Texas, came armed with guns
Speaker 1: to shoot officers, had explosives both inside his car and
Speaker 1: planted in the neighborhood he targeted. FBI says its terror attack,
Speaker 1: and they believe others still uncaptured, assisted it.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I certainly hope that.
Speaker 1: Those who were also involved in this are looking over
Speaker 1: their soul at the very least this morning, and I
Speaker 1: certainly hope that we find out during the course of
Speaker 1: the day today that these individuals have been apprehended. The
Speaker 1: FBI said it was a terror attack, and let me see,
Speaker 1: I already already talked about that. I meanwhile, another driver
Speaker 1: pulled up to the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and
Speaker 1: detonated a rented Tesla cyber truck filled with fireworks and
Speaker 1: explosive materials, killing one and injuring seven. And that is
Speaker 1: a very strange thing that I think is going on there.
Speaker 1: And I saw a picture of the back of that truck,
Speaker 1: and you can see that some of the there were
Speaker 1: fuel containers in there, what they call camping fuel and
Speaker 1: left over fireworks, So I don't know why. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: a basic terrorist explosive device is just load up a
Speaker 1: bit of a pickup truck with all kinds of fireworks
Speaker 1: and watch it go boom.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I have to find out more about that.
Speaker 1: FBI said they're trying to determine if the terrorist attack
Speaker 1: is related to the one in New Orleans. Both drivers
Speaker 1: rented from the same rental company, heightening concerns. Whatever the
Speaker 1: final outcome, the incident's reaffirmed that soft targets remain soft
Speaker 1: and easily accessed, creating potential catastrophic opportunities for bad actors
Speaker 1: when they are crowded like a hotel or a public
Speaker 1: celebration for a New Year's holiday. The vulnerabilities, coupled with
Speaker 1: four years of an insecure border under Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: liberal defund the police movement in big cities has created
Speaker 1: a perfect storm, one lawmaker told Just the News. With
Speaker 1: the Democrats defund the police and overboard open borders policy fiascos,
Speaker 1: it was always just ann matter of time before America
Speaker 1: would experience these terrorist type of attacks that Senator Ron
Speaker 1: Johnson of Wisconsin, a member of the Senate Homeland Security
Speaker 1: Committee soon to be chairman of that investigative body. Johnson's
Speaker 1: home state experienced the Christmas Parade massacre carried out by
Speaker 1: a driver in twenty twenty two, and Waukesha is worn
Speaker 1: for years that America has too many soft targets. President
Speaker 1: Trump has some major Democrat created messes to clean up,
Speaker 1: he added. The question of local police capabilities has already
Speaker 1: surfaced in the New Orleans strategy, where officials admitted security
Speaker 1: barriers known as ballards that were intended to protect pedestrians
Speaker 1: for vehicles had been temporarily removed and were to be
Speaker 1: replaced because they malfunctioned at times before the attacker drove
Speaker 1: through Bourbon Street shortly after three am. Ballards were not
Speaker 1: up because they are near completion, with the expectation of
Speaker 1: being completed before the Super Bowl. Mayor LaToya Cantrell admitted
Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon, So for some reason, these ballards, which are
Speaker 1: essentially posts in the ground, Joe, Joe, they do google
Speaker 1: ballards right now and see what you come up with,
Speaker 1: and you'll see picture after picture after picture of what
Speaker 1: essentially is a post in the ground and you're and
Speaker 1: you're telling me that that that these things, Well, if
Speaker 1: you have several of them in one location, and I've
Speaker 1: seen them downtown. They've got them in front of the
Speaker 1: h what's the new Music's the Brady Music Center down there,
Speaker 1: and there's other facilities downtown that have them, and you
Speaker 1: can take them in the ground, you can put them in,
Speaker 1: you can take them out. They weren't working, Joe, Does
Speaker 1: it looked like there's a lot of moving parts to
Speaker 1: a ballard.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: No, So this excuse doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 1: Let's see, the lack of barriers and the ease the
Speaker 1: driver found in driving into the French Quarter is particularly alarming,
Speaker 1: you think, given that the city is hosting, or was hosting,
Speaker 1: a major college championship football game, the Sugar Bowl, on
Speaker 1: Wednesday night, and the Super Bowl is only a month
Speaker 1: a month away, there's obviously a lot of blame to
Speaker 1: go around for this terrorist attack in New Orleans. Former
Speaker 1: CIA analyst National Security Council Chief Fred Fletts told just
Speaker 1: The News security barriers in the street that were put
Speaker 1: in place to prevent this type of attack, we're not activated.
Speaker 1: That's the fault of New Orleans police and officials. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine that. And I'm going to talk to Dan
Speaker 1: Hills about this in a seven o'clock hour that if
Speaker 1: we had a major event in Cincinnati and whatever devices
Speaker 1: they use to put in place to blog, because there's
Speaker 1: all kinds of things they use to block off streets
Speaker 1: that you couldn't figure out another way to block off
Speaker 1: access to vehicles of these streets. This is, to me,
Speaker 1: is beyond comprehension. And I hate to criticize police. I
Speaker 1: love police. I have family members who are police, and
Speaker 1: I hate to criticize them, but this is, to my
Speaker 1: way of thinking, this is this is right, This is leadership.
Speaker 1: This is a failure of leadership. And I'm very upset
Speaker 1: ab this, and I know a lot of others are too.
Speaker 1: John is on the line. We'll get to John's call
Speaker 1: right after this. As we roll on till nine o'clock
Speaker 1: this morning, Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas on fifty
Speaker 1: five k RC, The Talk Station.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, Dan Carroll ford Bryan
Speaker 2: Thomas talking.
Speaker 1: About this piece and just the news, looking at what
Speaker 1: happened in New Orleans yesterday and talking about thet the
Speaker 1: Rand Corporation that put out a report a year ago
Speaker 1: talking about soft targets just like this and that the
Speaker 1: type of vulnerability vulnerabilities that we have there. And John
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati would like to weigh in. And John, good morning.
Speaker 1: You're on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning, Dan.
Speaker 2: What you got for us?
Speaker 3: John?
Speaker 2: Turn your radio down?
Speaker 1: And you got to get off the speaker all right,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, Joe, get them off the speakerphone.
Speaker 1: My god, that calls us all kinds of havoc. Now,
Speaker 1: johnn you want to call back, that's fine, but you
Speaker 1: got to go off the speakerphone. Uh, let's see. All right,
Speaker 1: John is back now John, John, did you get here?
Speaker 4: He goes round two. Let's make this real quick. I
Speaker 4: have enjoyed your list about you know, the FBI's concerns,
Speaker 4: but you left out, you know what about January sixth.
Speaker 4: They sure could be concerned about that and track down
Speaker 4: all those innocent people that were only protesting for their
Speaker 4: civil rights and their liberties and doing exactly what they
Speaker 4: had the right to do as red blooded Americans. We
Speaker 4: could start right there. Okay, now we can move. We
Speaker 4: can all we could right remember that? Or what about
Speaker 4: at the schools, you know, when the FBI were there
Speaker 4: because the mothers are protesting against the trans agenda. Do
Speaker 4: you remember that.
Speaker 1: Well, John, I mean the these government agencies have spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time concentrating in these areas when you
Speaker 1: have people's lives. I was talking to a guy yesterday
Speaker 1: who got a visit from the Secret Service after he
Speaker 1: dared to speak out at his school board meeting. And so, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've wasted a lot of time and effort tracking down
Speaker 1: American citizens who did nothing more than exercise their First
Speaker 1: Amendment rights. So a lot of time, effort, and money
Speaker 1: and attention was wasted on these efforts, and things like
Speaker 1: this are somehow able to slip through the cracks, and
Speaker 1: this morning we have fifteen dead people to show for it.
Speaker 1: And John, thank you very much for that call. Let's
Speaker 1: get back to what mister Flight said here, the former
Speaker 1: CIA analyst was talking about this. He says, the Biden
Speaker 1: administration has admitted at least two hundred and fifty of
Speaker 1: the known migrants that were on the US terrorist list.
Speaker 1: I believe a much more larger number of terrorists enter
Speaker 1: the country as illegal immigrants or illegal migrants across the
Speaker 1: southern border in twenty twenty one. We also have a
Speaker 1: Homeland Security Department, an FBI that has lumped radical Islamist terrorists,
Speaker 1: a non politically correct term government employees are forbidden to
Speaker 1: use with peaceful protesters, such as parents who attended PTA meetings,
Speaker 1: pro life protesters, and the January sixth protesters. So exactly
Speaker 1: what John was talking about right there, Homeland Security, FBI,
Speaker 1: they spent a lot of time looking at people like this.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the Department of Defense that.
Speaker 1: The day that this secretary, this Secretary of Defense, Lloyd
Speaker 1: Austin came in, what's the first thing he did, Well,
Speaker 1: we've got to stand down. We've got to investigate and
Speaker 1: find these white racist radicals in the ranks of the
Speaker 1: United States military. And yet a guy like this who
Speaker 1: was in the military apparently didn't raise a red flag,
Speaker 1: didn't raise a concern. We'll find out later more about
Speaker 1: this dude that drove the ten. Thankfully he's dead now,
Speaker 1: but Flight says he's very concerned the Biden administration and
Speaker 1: their mismanagement of our homeland security agencies. Senator John Kennedy,
Speaker 1: who was briefed on the New Orleans they call it
Speaker 1: a tragedy, and I'm not sure the use of that
Speaker 1: word is right or appropriate here. He suggested Americans will
Speaker 1: be more alarmed when all the details are eventually made public.
Speaker 1: Here's what I want to ask for from the federal government,
Speaker 1: Kennedy said, catch these people and then tell the American
Speaker 1: people the truth. I don't want you to tell us
Speaker 1: anything yet that's going to interfere with the investigation. And
Speaker 1: he said, there are things I've been told that I
Speaker 1: think are true that I'm not sharing with you today
Speaker 1: because it could interfere with the investigation. But more importantly,
Speaker 1: and you can read And I was when I heard
Speaker 1: him say this yesterday. I was thinking, Man, there's a
Speaker 1: lot to read between the lines there when he says,
Speaker 1: tell the American people the truth. And I think the
Speaker 1: one thing you can say about this administration, from top
Speaker 1: to bottom, through and through, is that the time that
Speaker 1: this administration has been in office, we have not been
Speaker 1: told the truth, not only about stuff like this, but
Speaker 1: about anything, anything.
Speaker 2: And this is what we have to show for Joe.
Speaker 2: Did I miss a break here? Did we have to? Okay,
Speaker 2: let's get a break in here. Then we'll talk to Pat.
Speaker 1: If you want to get on board five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine, fifty five hundred, Dan Carrol, Brian Thomas, fifty
Speaker 1: five KRCV talks.
Speaker 2: Days the Days of Relaxing in the jew one fifty
Speaker 2: five krc DE Talk Station. Good Morning, Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: The second day of January twenty twenty five. Not off
Speaker 1: to a great start, talking about this tarriff attack in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and then again we'll get into the the
Speaker 1: car that blew up in Las Vegas, and a little
Speaker 1: bit stuff like that going on. Dude throwing a guy
Speaker 1: in front of the train in New York City. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Pat. Pat, You're on fifty five krc Good morning.
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mike. I'm sorry, Dance. I wanted to put
Speaker 7: my two cents. We're saying about, you know, back when
Speaker 7: the World Trade Center got blown up that one time,
Speaker 7: well the summer before two thousand and one, I was
Speaker 7: up there for a meeting, and their driveway going down
Speaker 7: into the U the bottom of the tower there where
Speaker 7: they go into the garage, they had one of these
Speaker 7: They had one of these things up where it looked
Speaker 7: like little teeth, but they were sticking up out of
Speaker 7: the ground. There were solid metal and they were sharp
Speaker 7: and if he tried to drive over it was about
Speaker 7: a foot up in the air.
Speaker 3: It would a slice your tires a piece of tires.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 7: If they hear something like that where you know, you could,
Speaker 7: I mean, people would have to you know. It would
Speaker 7: be one of those deals where they would push push
Speaker 7: a button and if somebody was going down the street
Speaker 7: like that in that car, if those things came up,
Speaker 7: he wouldn't get very far.
Speaker 2: Well, you would think, you would, you would think, and
Speaker 2: I would think.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not a security expert, but when it comes
Speaker 1: to securing an area like that and that they if
Speaker 1: someone came to me and said, Dan, you're in charge
Speaker 1: of security for this event. It's New Year's Eve, the
Speaker 1: French Quarter going to be thousands of people out here.
Speaker 1: Here's Bourbon Street, here's you know all the look. I
Speaker 1: have never been to New Orleans. I feel bad to
Speaker 1: say that, but I've never been there, so you know,
Speaker 1: I don't have, uh, you know, what it looks like
Speaker 1: in my mind. But if I was there, that's one
Speaker 1: of the things, that's one of the that's probably the
Speaker 1: area where I would start. Let's figure out how we
Speaker 1: block these streets. Off, there's no way I want any
Speaker 1: vehicular traffic coming in here from you know whatever. It
Speaker 1: is five o'clock the day before until noon the next day,
Speaker 1: and we are going to make sure that there's no
Speaker 1: way to get a car in here. And if if
Speaker 1: I if I think there's an area that's vulnerable, guess
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have armed police there
Speaker 1: keeping watch on those areas. And were they there? Were
Speaker 1: they not? I don't know. So I mean these things
Speaker 1: and and you know, when Dan Hills is here in
Speaker 1: the seven o'clock hour, I'm gonna run those things by
Speaker 1: him and get his take on those things.
Speaker 2: But Pat, I think it very.
Speaker 1: Much for that call squeeze one morning here before we
Speaker 1: get to the break leading up to the news here
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: This is Jay. Jay, you run fifty five k RC
Speaker 2: Hey J.
Speaker 1: Jay, Hello, I get I know he's there. His phone's
Speaker 1: not working. Jay one more time? All right, bye, Jay,
Speaker 1: Thanks with a good try. Was a good effort. Just
Speaker 1: be good, you know, maybe call back after the news
Speaker 1: here at the top of the hour. But you know,
Speaker 1: the FBI is all over this there. I guess they're
Speaker 1: investigating the guys home now and in Texas, and if
Speaker 1: there were others involved in this.
Speaker 2: Uh, we gotta gotta clean it up. Gotta clean it up.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, we have to take real steps to
Speaker 1: make sure that these sorts of things don't happen again.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the very basics when when you're when
Speaker 1: you're swinging and missing on basics like this, it just
Speaker 1: does not bode well for the rest of the operation.
Speaker 1: We got to get to a break news coming up
Speaker 1: top of the hour, and then we will continue on
Speaker 1: on fifty five krc DE talk station.
Speaker 2: There's no shortage of stuff to talk about in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five.
Speaker 1: Excite and the conversation is happening here on fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC the talk station.
Speaker 2: It's the Marketers Report.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 2: Fifty five kr DE Talk station. Gotta love it.
Speaker 1: What the van Halen rolls out, Dan Carroll Inport Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: Generations swings.
Speaker 9: You know, it's more, it's just something sense the.
Speaker 1: Second day of twenty twenty five getting off to a
Speaker 1: rough start. You know, it's more, Joe, I don't have
Speaker 1: a TV in here, so I can't watch the news.
Speaker 1: Have there been any reported terrorist attacks yet?
Speaker 2: This morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't seen anything come across my computer yet,
Speaker 1: but we will be keeping an eye out for that.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 1: I am glad, I always glad to be here in
Speaker 1: for the vacationing Brian Thomas, who was back on Monday.
Speaker 1: So we'll all be looking forward to that together. But
Speaker 1: for now, you got me and uh as always glad
Speaker 1: to be here, glad to be talking with you. Five
Speaker 1: is the is the number to call. And Bill's been
Speaker 1: on hold for a little while. And let's see what
Speaker 1: Bill has this morning. And Bill, good morning. You're on
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC.
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.
Speaker 4: And on this terrorist attack, I called.
Speaker 3: This the case.
Speaker 10: I talked to Brian about this. I've called this over
Speaker 10: a year ago. See, this is like such an eight people.
Speaker 10: You get him into a nice place, the government's paying
Speaker 10: for it, and then what they have to get kicked out?
Speaker 10: They ramsacked the place. Okay, this is this is just
Speaker 10: the beginning of what's gonna happen, and it's going to
Speaker 10: get worse once Trump starts rolding these people up there,
Speaker 10: they can get gun. They're going to go in and
Speaker 10: slaughter as many people as they can. That's that's that's coming. Well,
Speaker 10: this is just a beginning.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Bill,
Speaker 1: who's gonna slaughter who?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 10: All these people that's here? Looking at what we've got
Speaker 10: over twenty three thousand male Chinese here, We've got people
Speaker 10: from Iran. These are people out here that want to
Speaker 10: be Americans. They're coming here to do as much destruction
Speaker 10: as they can. And Trump was right he said we
Speaker 10: got an internal problem, and it's true. Once they start
Speaker 10: rounding up these people, they're going to do as much
Speaker 10: damage as they can until they get kicked out or
Speaker 10: sent back, or they get they get killed.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Bill, I appreciate the appreciate the phone call,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the inside on that. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's going to be that bad. But look, I've
Speaker 1: talked to Tom Homan. I've seen him interviewed on numerous occasions.
Speaker 1: I've got a pretty good feeling that he is going
Speaker 1: to be on top of this. And is it going
Speaker 1: to be pretty No, it's not. Is there going to
Speaker 1: be some ugliness involved?
Speaker 2: I think so?
Speaker 1: Are Is there going to be a blood bath? I
Speaker 1: certainly do not think that is going to happen, and
Speaker 1: I certainly hope it does not happen.
Speaker 2: Do we need to be.
Speaker 1: Prepared for something along those lines, Absolutely, without a doubt,
Speaker 1: without question. But I'm not really going to entertain ideas
Speaker 1: that it's a given that these things are going to
Speaker 1: come to pass. If they do, then I'll own it.
Speaker 1: Then I'll you know, I'll admit I was wrong about that.
Speaker 1: But no, Bill, I appreciate the phone call, but I'm
Speaker 1: just not ready to go down that road yet. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is. And I want to say this about the
Speaker 1: New York Post. The New York Post is when I
Speaker 1: do show prep for these radio shows that in the
Speaker 1: New York Post is an indispensable website. You find so
Speaker 1: much great reporting there. And I'm talking about reporting that
Speaker 1: is that is bold, that is unafraid, that really has
Speaker 1: an allegiance to neither conservative or liberals. I mean they
Speaker 1: does it have a conservative bent, I think, without a doubt.
Speaker 1: But when conservatives are in the wrong, are they afraid
Speaker 1: to call that out? Absolutely not. And so the New
Speaker 1: York Post is it gets cited in a lot of
Speaker 1: different places, and then you go there and you see
Speaker 1: this on your own, Joe, you probably look at the
Speaker 1: New York Post on a regular basis, do you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: all the time. I mean just and and a lot
Speaker 1: of times you find information and reporting in there that
Speaker 1: you do not see anywhere else.
Speaker 7: And so the.
Speaker 1: The Editorial Board put out a piece talking about journalists
Speaker 1: who've been gaslighting the United States since Biden administration has
Speaker 1: been in office.
Speaker 2: Should never live it down. That's the that's the title
Speaker 2: of the piece.
Speaker 1: And they talk about a video that was posted the
Speaker 1: Trump's True social media account that shows clips of Democrat
Speaker 1: leaders denying to the media that Biden was mentally ill.
Speaker 1: And he posted the video on Monday showing and it
Speaker 1: starts with Carine John Pierre. You've got Alejandro Majorcis in there.
Speaker 1: You've got Nancy Pelosi in there, You've got that that
Speaker 1: full Chris Coons in there. You've got Bernie Sanders in there,
Speaker 1: You've got Chuck Schumer in there, all of them talking
Speaker 1: about how great and wonderful Joe Biden is. And luckily
Speaker 1: I was able to find the clip this morning. Joe
Speaker 1: Strecker has it. And Joe, let's go ahead. I believe
Speaker 1: that's cut number four. Let's play that now. This was
Speaker 1: posted on Trump's True Social yesterday.
Speaker 8: Does the president have the stamina physically and mentally do
Speaker 8: you think to continue on even after twenty twenty four non.
Speaker 5: You're asking me this question.
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, he's the president of the United States,
Speaker 11: you know.
Speaker 5: I can't even keep up with him.
Speaker 12: The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden
Speaker 12: is preparing for it, because he is sharp, intensely probing,
Speaker 12: and detail oriented and focused.
Speaker 13: I can testify because I've been working very closely with
Speaker 13: this president for the past two years. I've been knowing
Speaker 13: it for thirty years, and I'm telling you, this guy's tough.
Speaker 13: He's smart, he's on his jill.
Speaker 14: Biden has vision, he has knowledge, he has a strategic thinker.
Speaker 15: The President is focused, he's detail oriented, He's always thinking
Speaker 15: about the big picture.
Speaker 2: He is engaging, he is capable.
Speaker 16: He has an incredible record as president.
Speaker 17: And I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at
Speaker 17: the top of his game.
Speaker 18: So he has a vision, he has knowledge, he has judgment,
Speaker 18: he has a strategic thinking.
Speaker 3: I met with the President, I don't know five or
Speaker 3: six weeks ago, but he seems fine.
Speaker 19: To make have complete confidence in the President. I have
Speaker 19: watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and cabinet members.
Speaker 2: I could not have more.
Speaker 9: Confidence than the president.
Speaker 20: I would just tell you that I meet frequently with
Speaker 20: the President, and every single time I meet him.
Speaker 9: He is just fine.
Speaker 21: But he is again, knowledgeable, wise, incredibly sharp, incredibly probing,
Speaker 21: incredible command of the details.
Speaker 16: He is sharp, He is on top of things. There
Speaker 16: is nothing to these challenges, these suggestions that somehow he's
Speaker 16: not sharp and he's not capable.
Speaker 17: We see Joe Biden of Plus.
Speaker 14: We know how attuned he oughts to the issue.
Speaker 22: And you're going to see how smart he is and.
Speaker 18: The experience he has.
Speaker 17: I say, his age is an asset.
Speaker 9: Wow, he's wise.
Speaker 17: Yes, he's wise, he has wisdom, he has experiences, and.
Speaker 23: His experience because of his age and his wisdom, has
Speaker 23: been invaluable to this country.
Speaker 3: A lot of.
Speaker 8: Countries, people who've been in office a longer period of
Speaker 8: time are praised for their wisdom.
Speaker 24: I have seen a lot of seventy two yelds not
Speaker 24: as capable as this eighty year old.
Speaker 22: It is hard for us to keep up with this president.
Speaker 25: His mental acuity is great, it's fine. It's as good
Speaker 25: as it's been over the years I've been he's fine.
Speaker 25: All this right wing propaganda that he is mental acuity
Speaker 25: has declined as wrong.
Speaker 13: And this kind of sense that he's not ready for
Speaker 13: this job is just a bucket of bs that's so
Speaker 13: deep your boots will get stuck at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a bunch of right wing propaganda. You know,
Speaker 1: we could see what was going on. Our eyes don't
Speaker 1: deceive us, Our ears don't deceive us. We see video
Speaker 1: after video, appearance after appearance, stumbling, mumbling, fumbling, bumbling, all
Speaker 1: that time and time and time again. Yeah, you heard him,
Speaker 1: all of them. This is the steady diet that we
Speaker 1: were fed over the last four years from karing John Pierre.
Speaker 1: I can't keep up with them.
Speaker 2: Look at me. I'm a spry I don't know what
Speaker 2: is she?
Speaker 1: Mid thirties. I'm a spry, mid thirties lesbian. I can't
Speaker 1: keep up with him. He's running circles around, really, And
Speaker 1: so the New York Post starts with this video and
Speaker 1: they go on to talk about every last person in
Speaker 1: that video deserves scorn, But so do the journalists who
Speaker 1: not only let these fanatical FIBs go unchallenged, but even.
Speaker 2: Parroted the lies and it started off with Caryn John Pierre.
Speaker 1: They're doing an interview with Don Lemon, who you used
Speaker 1: to be with CNN, and he's one of those so
Speaker 1: called journalists that was more than happy to parrot these lies.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into this editorial from the New York Post,
Speaker 1: but we got to get to a quick break here,
Speaker 1: so we will go ahead and do that. But I mean,
Speaker 1: it's and they're absolutely right. These people deserve all the
Speaker 1: scorn that we can possibly heap upon them. Six fifteen
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC Talk
Speaker 1: Station fifty five car the talk station. Don't start the
Speaker 1: new year with the same old joint pain the nine
Speaker 1: first warning forecast mostly cloudy today, a seasonal high about
Speaker 1: thirty eight, then some light snow expected to start tonight.
Speaker 1: Good accumulate to between half an inch and one inch
Speaker 1: by tomorrow morning. By around eight am. We're talking about
Speaker 1: the overnight load twenty eight. Party cloudy on Friday, thirty
Speaker 1: three for the high. Turning really cold Friday and Saturday
Speaker 1: with an overnight low of eighteen. So it looks like
Speaker 1: wintertime maybe here. It is thirty two at fifty five KARC.
Speaker 1: The talk station from the.
Speaker 2: Ucl Traffic Center.
Speaker 6: The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center is the region's first
Speaker 6: and only provider a specialized primary care services for cancer
Speaker 6: patients and survivors called five one three five eighty five
Speaker 6: U see see see highway tramping continues to look good
Speaker 6: for your Thursday morning. No accidents to deal with, nothing
Speaker 6: close to a delay as of yet, under five minutes
Speaker 6: to seventy five town on northbound fourth seventy one Chuck
Speaker 6: ingramand fifty five care see deep talk station.
Speaker 2: And a good Thursday morning to you.
Speaker 1: It feels like a Monday after the New Year's holiday,
Speaker 1: but it is a Thursday, and it's the second day
Speaker 1: of January.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at this New York Post piece
Speaker 1: and the editorial board talking about journalists who just rode
Speaker 1: the Biden train, lying to us the entire way. And
Speaker 1: we just played the clip from Donald Trump that his
Speaker 1: people put out on his True Social earlier this week,
Speaker 1: and it is just a clip after clip of Carrin,
Speaker 1: John Pierre, Alejandro Mayorkis, various Democrat senators. Joe Biden is great,
Speaker 1: and they and they're going after the journalists who just
Speaker 1: parroted these claims and passed them on as as as fact,
Speaker 1: and anyone who daresaid otherwise was a right wing conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 2: They write.
Speaker 1: The entire idea that Biden was anything but healthy, virile
Speaker 1: even was treated as right wing tinfoil hat talking points.
Speaker 1: The public wasn't buying it. Back in February, eighty six
Speaker 1: percent of Americans thought Biden was too old to serve
Speaker 1: a second term because they had watched his decline happen
Speaker 1: in real time and over the course of several years.
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty two, seventy five percent of Democrat
Speaker 1: voters wanted someone other than Biden to run in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. Somehow that was all forgotten about when Biden
Speaker 1: said that he was going to run again for a
Speaker 1: second term, and he was going to Oh, he's the
Speaker 1: only one that can beat Trump. Ah, he's remember when
Speaker 1: he said that. And I've had so many people make
Speaker 1: the same observation that I've made on this is that
Speaker 1: Jill Biden is the one who was really driving that train.
Speaker 1: I think Jill Biden is the one, more than anyone else,
Speaker 1: who did not want to surrender that lifestyle. I think
Speaker 1: she likes being the first lady. I think she likes
Speaker 1: all the accouterma that comes with it. After all these
Speaker 1: years being in proximity to power, to finally have that
Speaker 1: at your disposal is a powerful, powerful thing, and she
Speaker 1: in no way wanted to give that up. You know,
Speaker 1: chiseling millions from China and Russia and Ukraine and all
Speaker 1: these other things, and you know, doing all that, that's
Speaker 1: I guess there's a certain kind of thrill to all that.
Speaker 2: But even that can't match up to the power of
Speaker 2: the presidency in the White House. But I digress. Let
Speaker 2: me see.
Speaker 1: The Biden's fine charade continued even after Spencer Special counsel
Speaker 1: Robert Hurr said a jury would see Biden as an
Speaker 1: elderly man with a poor memory, and Biden himself began
Speaker 1: repeatedly calling world leaders by names.
Speaker 2: Of their dead predecessors and who remembers.
Speaker 1: When that Robert Hurr report came out and it talked
Speaker 1: about the the severely diminished state that Biden was in,
Speaker 1: and it was evident during the during the depositions going on,
Speaker 1: then if that would have been any other president, if
Speaker 1: that would have been Donald Trump, that would have been
Speaker 1: a major, major news story that would not have gone away.
Speaker 1: But yet the the you know, the left wing media
Speaker 1: in this country just looks at that and says it
Speaker 1: just shrugged their shoulders at it, no big deal. The
Speaker 1: White House smeared all video proof of Biden's decline as
Speaker 1: cheap fakes and edited transcripts to erase signs of his
Speaker 1: constant memory issues. And I remember when these things were
Speaker 1: happening in real time, I was bringing them up with
Speaker 1: different guests I would have on seem to me, that's
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. When the White House goes
Speaker 1: in and edits official transcripts of what the president said.
Speaker 1: These are historical documents of the words that the President
Speaker 1: said in meetings, during speeches, any other event. Anytime the
Speaker 1: President speaks, those words are recorded, and those words are
Speaker 1: now forever changed because of what the White House and
Speaker 1: the staff did there to do, what to cover up
Speaker 1: for what we all obviously saw and heard. Let's see,
Speaker 1: at every turn, spineless in the tank, journalists obediently did
Speaker 1: team by propagandist dirty work right up until the debate
Speaker 1: when Biden's sinility became too unmistakable to continue denying. Now
Speaker 1: they're acting bashful, but it's far too late to salvage
Speaker 1: their shredded credibility. XMSNBC host Mehdi Hassan says he was
Speaker 1: embarrassingly wrong to say Republicans will regret helping spread the
Speaker 1: distorted image of Biden as a guy who was totally
Speaker 1: out of it. Leading up to the debate, progressive journalist
Speaker 1: Matt Iglesis said he thought Biden was going to prove
Speaker 1: his doubters wrong. Is it better or worse if they
Speaker 1: actually believed it? Democrat friendly journalists saw the same evidence
Speaker 1: as the rest of us that Biden was compromised, and
Speaker 1: instead of being skeptical asking questions putting the White House's
Speaker 1: feet to the fire doing their jobs, they joined the
Speaker 1: crusade to gaslight America. Secretary of Caroline Levitt says she
Speaker 1: intends to change to change up who gets preferred access
Speaker 1: to the White House briefings, allowing for non traditional voices
Speaker 1: like podcasters. Since legacy media completely unwilfully failed to cover
Speaker 1: one of the biggest stories of the decade that the
Speaker 1: President of the United States was unfit for office from
Speaker 1: day one and his entire staff was hiding it. That
Speaker 1: seems like a fair shake. No one who perpetrated, concealed,
Speaker 1: or ignored this growth test scandal should ever live it down.
Speaker 2: And the New York Post is right on the money
Speaker 2: with all of that.
Speaker 1: Six twenty six, A little late for a break, Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs DE talk station, The.
Speaker 2: Truth and Nothing.
Speaker 9: But this is Sean Hannity Morning Minute.
Speaker 26: And I said this last night, legacy media, And I
Speaker 26: said journalism is dead. In two thousand and seven and eight,
Speaker 26: all these conglomerates, all these big newspapers, New York Times,
Speaker 26: Washington Post, you name them, all of them, ABC, NBCCBS,
Speaker 26: all of them, you know, all these fake news you
Speaker 26: know channels together combined, they threw everything they had had
Speaker 26: this man to destroy him. And Donald Trump has defied
Speaker 26: every one of those critics. And he's he's still stun
Speaker 26: only standing, he's standing triumphantly. I mean, it really is
Speaker 26: an incredible thing.
Speaker 2: Keeping you on the straight path.

Speaker 1: Fifty five KRCD Talk station six point thirty on this
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, Damn Carol for Brian Thomas, glad to be here.
Speaker 3: Came in this morning and.
Speaker 1: Among some of the reports that Joe Strucker put in
Speaker 1: front of me is this one from NBC News. A
Speaker 1: well known South African game hunter dies after elephant falls
Speaker 1: on him. A well known South African game hunter died
Speaker 1: after an elephant, ravaged by gunshots collapsed on him at
Speaker 1: a Zimbabwe animal reserve. While on a ten day hunting
Speaker 1: expedition with several clients, fifty one year old big game
Speaker 1: hunter Atheneus Bota unknowingly came across the herd of breeding
Speaker 1: elephants near the Hawaang National Park. A spokesman so told
Speaker 1: the Associated Press the group spooped the herd and three
Speaker 1: elephant cows immediately charged at them, prompting both open fire
Speaker 1: on the animals. Now, if this guy is such an
Speaker 1: expert and has spent so much time in this area,
Speaker 1: how do they unknowingly come across the herd of elephants
Speaker 1: that is breeding. A fourth cow stormed at the group
Speaker 1: from the side, lifting Botha up with his trunk. One
Speaker 1: of the members of the group fired shots at the elephants,
Speaker 1: causing at the elephant, causing the animal to collapse on
Speaker 1: both the crushing him to death. Both and his wife
Speaker 1: Carique ran me Botha's big safari since nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1: With private hunting ranches in South Africa. Mozambique and Zimbabwe
Speaker 1: both attatted his perfection of traditional European style driven hunts
Speaker 1: in South Africa, which used hounds to round up big
Speaker 1: game four hunter clients.
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I don't have a problem with this.
Speaker 2: I I am not anti hunting.
Speaker 27: I am.
Speaker 1: This story reminds me of a video that I saw
Speaker 1: several years ago. And Joe, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw this video, but there was a couple that was
Speaker 1: out there, I suppose in Africa, and they were on
Speaker 1: a hunting trip and they had taken down a male
Speaker 1: lion looked like a you know, a really mature male lion,
Speaker 1: and so they're setting up their camera and you can
Speaker 1: and there and there you can see their video and
Speaker 1: they're setting up their camera to get a selfie with
Speaker 1: themselves and the and the lion that they had taken down.
Speaker 1: And so they're they're, you know, they're scrambling around, moving around,
Speaker 1: getting this picture all set up, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: they look off to their side and they're questioning what
Speaker 1: is that? Was there something over there? And from the
Speaker 1: side of the frame you see a lion come charging
Speaker 1: in and jump on these two hunters, and I believe
Speaker 1: that lion killed both of them. I think the I
Speaker 1: think the story was is that it may have been
Speaker 1: the brother of the lion that they killed, or the
Speaker 1: lion that took them out was a relative of the
Speaker 1: lion that they killed. But big game hunting like this,
Speaker 1: going out and shooting elephants, going out and shooting lions,
Speaker 1: these magnificent animals and that roam the planes of Africa.
Speaker 1: Never been a fan of that. Don't understand it. I
Speaker 1: don't think do people kill lions and elephants to survive?
Speaker 3: Do they do?
Speaker 2: They they need to eat those things for survival.
Speaker 1: I don't equate that with people who go out and
Speaker 1: hunting big game, uh you know, elk and and these
Speaker 1: other animals out in the the great western Great Northwest
Speaker 1: of the United States. I just don't equate that it's
Speaker 1: the same thing. Maybe maybe I'm missing the boat there,
Speaker 1: but it, you know, just this going out for the
Speaker 1: sake of the hunt and the sake of taking down
Speaker 1: one of these magnificent creatures just something that never appealed
Speaker 1: to me. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's some benefit that I don't see from it.
Speaker 1: But I just it just kind of it's the whole,
Speaker 1: that whole notion of doing that just sort of rubs
Speaker 1: me the wrong way and my way of my way
Speaker 1: of thinking going out, you know, hunting deer or rabbits
Speaker 1: or squirrel here in Ohio or Kentucky or Indiana, pheasant
Speaker 1: hunting things like that. You know, the majority of those
Speaker 1: hunters use those animals and take the meat from them
Speaker 1: and feed people and all the rest of that.
Speaker 2: That that, to me, is is different than.
Speaker 1: Going out and taking down a lion or some magnificent
Speaker 1: creature on the plains of Africa. So this guy, I
Speaker 1: guess maybe it's fitting that all the elephants he's killed,
Speaker 1: that's how he met his end. And I don't have
Speaker 1: a problem with that at all. Six thirty six Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC The Talks Days
Speaker 1: is fifty five KRC the Talks Station, six thirty nine.
Speaker 2: On a Thursday. That feels like a Monday.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you, even though the New Year
Speaker 1: didn't really get off to a great start. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard of any any other terrorist activity taking place today,
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens there. Three years, the three
Speaker 1: years we've been in these studios, and the monitors in
Speaker 1: this in this room still don't shown anything on television.
Speaker 1: I don't even know why they're in here. We got
Speaker 1: these big, giant, what are these show about? Fifty five
Speaker 1: INCHHU TV screens in here something like that, and you
Speaker 1: can't you can't see anything on it, not hooked up
Speaker 1: to any cable or anything.
Speaker 2: It blows my mind. It's a you know what I'm doing,
Speaker 2: what I'm doing radio shows.
Speaker 1: I like to have the TV on it. If there's
Speaker 1: some breaking news I like. But Jo's Joe's monitoring things
Speaker 1: in there. If there's any breaking news, yeah, he will
Speaker 1: tell me about it. Here's something that's going to happen
Speaker 1: that's going to be thoroughly disgusting. Joe Biden is going
Speaker 1: to bestow the second highest civilian medal, the second highest
Speaker 1: civilian honor, onto Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, the lawmakers
Speaker 1: who led the congressional investigation into the January sixth Capitol
Speaker 1: riot by Donald Trump supporters and who Trump said or
Speaker 1: who Trump has said, should be jailed. Biden will award
Speaker 1: the Presidential Citizens Medal to twenty people in a ceremony
Speaker 1: today at the White House, including Americans who fought for
Speaker 1: marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers. Two of
Speaker 1: the president's longtime friends for said, former Senator Ted Kaufman
Speaker 1: and Chris Dodd of both the Connecticut or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Kaufin's from Delaware, DoD is from Connecticut. Biden said he
Speaker 1: believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and
Speaker 1: committed to serving others. The White House said in a statement,
Speaker 1: the country's better because of their dedication and sacrifice. Really,
Speaker 1: do you believe that Liz Cheney is displayed common decency
Speaker 1: and is committed to serving others the way she ran
Speaker 1: that committee? And now that we know the true about
Speaker 1: and look and we knew the truth about that committee
Speaker 1: from day one. Biden last year honored people who were
Speaker 1: involved in defending the capital from rioters or who helped
Speaker 1: safeguard the will of American voters during the I mean
Speaker 1: this is a piece. This piece was written by MSNBC,
Speaker 1: so you know why it's written in such a way.
Speaker 1: Biden last year honored people involved in defending the Capitol
Speaker 1: who helped safeguard the will of American voters during the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential election, Trump tried and failed to overturn
Speaker 1: the results. Cheney, who was a Republican representative from Wyoming,
Speaker 1: and Thompson, a Missouri or Mississippi Democrat, led the House.
Speaker 2: Committee that probed the insurrection.
Speaker 1: Cheney later said she would vote for Democrat President Kamala
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: We know how that worked out.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Trump, who won the twenty twenty four election
Speaker 1: and will take office January twenty, still refuses to back
Speaker 1: away from his lies about the twenty twenty presidential race.
Speaker 1: So this is a thoroughly disgusting display that is going
Speaker 1: to take place at the White House today. And do
Speaker 1: you think Liz Cheney deserves a medal for what she
Speaker 1: did for the And they love to look at Cheney
Speaker 1: and Kinziger, who were on that committee and talk about,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that was a bipartisan committee. That committee, Well,
Speaker 1: do you mean it's you know, you got Republicans, you've
Speaker 1: got Democrats on.
Speaker 2: There, and they really they really did the job. Although
Speaker 2: you look.
Speaker 1: At the real reporting and what really happened about January sixth,
Speaker 1: and all the information that has come out subsequent to
Speaker 1: and all the information that was ignored, all the documents
Speaker 1: that were destroyed. I was talking to Dave Hatter about
Speaker 1: that a week or so ago, a terror byte of
Speaker 1: information down the wormhole, down the drain, thanks to Liz Cheney,
Speaker 1: And I said, how much effort does it take to
Speaker 1: get rid of a terror byte of information? He said
Speaker 1: he it takes some effort that doesn't happen by automatically
Speaker 1: or incidentally hitting delete when you're on your keyboard. You
Speaker 1: want to talk about a bipartisan committee, look at the
Speaker 1: one that did the work on the weaponization of Congress.
Speaker 1: You've got Jim Jordan was a chairman of that. The
Speaker 1: ranking member on the Democrat side was none other than
Speaker 1: Stacey Plaskett, and if you've seen her in operation, she
Speaker 1: is a hardcore leftist. And then you've got other members
Speaker 1: of that committee on the Republican side, Thomas Massey, elisaphonic.
Speaker 1: You've got Dan Bishop, who was awesome, Warren Davidson was
Speaker 1: on that committee, Harriet Hagman who's terrific. On the Democrats side,
Speaker 1: you've got people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz. You don't get
Speaker 1: any more hardcore leftist than that. You've got people like
Speaker 1: Dan Goldman, who was an absolute clown and a fool.
Speaker 1: It is chilling for the Biden administration. And you've got
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett who was so out of the mainstream, so
Speaker 1: far left wing, that she couldn't even win re election.
Speaker 1: So that's what a true bipartisan committee looks like, not
Speaker 1: this sham of a committee that was the January Sex
Speaker 1: committe And then they're going to be honored today.
Speaker 2: By this guy in the White House. I mean, it
Speaker 2: makes an.
Speaker 1: Absolute mockery and just cheapens what these things are really
Speaker 1: supposed to be about. And Joe Biden's going to do
Speaker 1: this on behalf of the American people, you, me, and
Speaker 1: everyone else, and it's absolutely disgraceful. Yeah, I'm late for
Speaker 1: a break here, so let's go ahead and do that now.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRCV.
Speaker 2: He talks about.
Speaker 1: Six fifty on this Thursday morning. So they'll be this
Speaker 1: ceremony at the White.
Speaker 2: House today and.
Speaker 1: Thankfully there will be some other news events that may
Speaker 1: overshadow this ceremony that's going to happen to the White
Speaker 1: House today. And Joe Biden's giving these medals out, you know,
Speaker 1: he loves to do that kind of stuff. Maybe do
Speaker 1: a little fondling while, you know, while this is going on,
Speaker 1: and all the White House staff is going to be
Speaker 1: there and they'll be a plotting and and well, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see the great coverage from MSNBC and CNN
Speaker 1: and all these one now and then we get to
Speaker 1: relive all the horrible things that Donald Trump did on
Speaker 1: January six Well, you know what, there are other reports
Speaker 1: that are out on January sixth talking about and we
Speaker 1: know for a fact that Donald Trump called for more
Speaker 1: security on that day in the form of National Guard troops.
Speaker 1: We know that these orders are not orders, but these
Speaker 1: recommendations were ignored by people that were working for him.
Speaker 2: And I found it interesting the other day that the
Speaker 2: mayor of d C.
Speaker 1: I talked about how she had a meeting with Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: strolling through my list here to see if I know
Speaker 1: I had that headlin in here. Mure Bowser had that
Speaker 1: meeting with Donald Trump, and she's, oh, yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a great meeting. So even after all the thing, and
Speaker 1: she was one who was supposed to sign off on
Speaker 1: additional security measures at the Capitol that day and said no.
Speaker 1: And you know, they didn't like the optics of it
Speaker 1: was the excuse that they had. So all those lies
Speaker 1: again about January sixth, are going to be relief relived today.
Speaker 1: What else is going on? I was talking about the
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee and their Weaponization Report, or the report about
Speaker 1: the weaponization of the government, and it is seventeen thousand
Speaker 1: pages long. Just a little light reading. Joe, you've read
Speaker 1: the whole thing, haven't you? Just seventeen thousand pages? I
Speaker 1: don't think he has. But that's a lot of reading.
Speaker 1: But if you go to there's a there's a part
Speaker 1: on their website where they've got and it really it
Speaker 1: is a series of separate reports all combined into one,
Speaker 1: and it goes down the list and I'll just read
Speaker 1: some of the headlines here the Biden Border crisis. New
Speaker 1: data and testimony show how the Biden administration opened the
Speaker 1: Southwest border and abandoned interior immigration enforcement fighting, the weaponization
Speaker 1: of the Internal Revenue Service, end of abuse of unannounced
Speaker 1: field visits, the weaponization of disinformation, pseudo experts and bureaucrats,
Speaker 1: How the federal government partnered with universities to censor americans
Speaker 1: free speech, the FBI's breach of religious freedom, the weaponization
Speaker 1: of law enforcement against Catholic Americans, and so all these
Speaker 1: and I'm going to talk to I sent this list
Speaker 1: to Kurt Hartman, and each and every one of these
Speaker 1: is an absolute scandal. Let's see. Let's see, here's one
Speaker 1: that I haven't looked at. New information and testimony from
Speaker 1: the Biden administration officials revealed disregard for a potential gang
Speaker 1: affiliation of UACs. Let's see, Incentivized by the Biden administration's
Speaker 1: open border policies, increasing numbers of unaccompanied alien children have
Speaker 1: traveled to the Southwest border. Since twenty twenty one, Customs
Speaker 1: and Border Protection has encountered more than eight million illegal
Speaker 1: aliens along the Southwest border, more than a half million
Speaker 1: of whom have been UAC's unaccompanied alien children. Under the
Speaker 1: Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: UACs from non contiguous countries who are encountered along the
Speaker 1: border are referred to are referred by Customs and Border
Speaker 1: Patrol to the Office of Refugee Resettlement or to the
Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services. So this goes on
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, all these individuals, and here
Speaker 1: are some of their findings. HHS did not conduct any
Speaker 1: audit of the case files for these the UAC who
Speaker 1: murdered Kayla Hamilton, despite having released Kayla's Murder and Alien
Speaker 1: with gang tattoos and a history of illicit association with
Speaker 1: MS thirteen to a sponsor, HSS told the committee that
Speaker 1: it does not have a policy to refer known or
Speaker 1: suspected gang members to the Department of Justice.
Speaker 3: So this is just.
Speaker 1: Examining one of the many, many, many flaws that infect
Speaker 1: our immigration system. And Karine John Pierre has the the
Speaker 1: hutspled to stand up there and talk about how our
Speaker 1: immigration system was broken before Joe.
Speaker 2: Biden got in the office. Really, I don't think.
Speaker 1: So we gotta get to a break and then we'll
Speaker 1: talk with Dan Hills on the other side of this
Speaker 1: and get his take on what happened in New Orleans
Speaker 1: and so much more. As we roll on, Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: in for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC, The talk station.

Speaker 1: here at fifty five k r C and Dan Hills,
Speaker 1: how was that walk up music for you?
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, buddy? How you've been.
Speaker 3: I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I have not heard
Speaker 3: that in decades. You crack yeah, well, yeah.
Speaker 2: Joe Strucker tells me that's your walk up music. So
Speaker 2: that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Joe, Joe gets to make such decisions.
Speaker 1: What can we say, Well, if Joe Strucker says it,
Speaker 1: then it's gospel. It cannot be it cannot be changed
Speaker 1: or amended in any way. But it's great to have
Speaker 1: you on, Dan. I mean, you've got so many irons
Speaker 1: in the fire. Tell us what what Dan Hills is
Speaker 1: up to these days?
Speaker 3: Well, I do work for a a small department and
Speaker 3: what we call an auxiliary position. I don't like bringing
Speaker 3: my politics that small department. I don't take the chief wood,
Speaker 3: so I'll leave the name of the department off. And
Speaker 3: then my wife and I run a small security thing
Speaker 3: for a school that has several campuses. I don't want
Speaker 3: to bring my politics into that work there on leave, that'side.
Speaker 3: But the one that I'll talk up only about is
Speaker 3: frontline Advisors, and that's where I work alongside some attorneys,
Speaker 3: and we represent police and corrections union unions. We have
Speaker 3: as our main contracts Middletown Fairfield Fops as two fops,
Speaker 3: and then we have Butler County Corrections and hand to
Speaker 3: County Corrections, and we're always we're always looking for more game.
Speaker 3: We're always looking for more.
Speaker 1: I always got there. There's always more out there. But
Speaker 1: you know, when when incidents like what happened yesterday happened,
Speaker 1: you're one of the first people that I reach out
Speaker 1: to in situations like this, and I couldn't help think.
Speaker 1: You know, here in Cincinnati that when we know we're
Speaker 1: going to have thousands of people out on the street
Speaker 1: late at night there and there's a you know, there's
Speaker 1: a situation going to whether it's a whether it's opening day,
Speaker 1: whether it's october Fest, Tasta Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: You name the event.
Speaker 1: It seems to me that we do a good job
Speaker 1: around here of making sure that there's not going to
Speaker 1: be any vehicles that can get on to those streets
Speaker 1: where these events are taking place. It seems to me
Speaker 1: like that is a very basic concept when it comes
Speaker 1: to securing an area like this, and the fact that
Speaker 1: that was overlooked or somehow there were lapses and that
Speaker 1: sort of security down in New Orleans, it just it
Speaker 1: just doesn't sit right.
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel right to me.
Speaker 3: What say you, Yeah, I thought i'd be repeating something
Speaker 3: that's Raybin said today, But you know, the everybody on
Speaker 3: social media keeps quote the same port over and over
Speaker 3: again that you shouldn't be able to go around or
Speaker 3: defeat barriers because they're no longer barriers, right. I think
Speaker 3: it's probably indictable that they did not that they did
Speaker 3: not have these barriers up, or they did not complete
Speaker 3: barriers across certain streets left a sidewalk open. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's just unimaginable. I think I mentioned to you in text.
Speaker 3: You know, I've noticed over the years and even over
Speaker 3: the decades, especially since nine to eleven, it appears that
Speaker 3: New York City has got this down to a science.
Speaker 3: They bring sand filled trucks, municipal trucks, maybe the same
Speaker 3: ones that they use for snow emergencies or whatever, but
Speaker 3: they put so much weight to them that nothing like
Speaker 3: this could have ever got by New York. Now, as
Speaker 3: far as Cincinnati goes, I have to I have to
Speaker 3: bag out a little bit because I never was a
Speaker 3: sign downtown and I've never worked a lot of details.
Speaker 3: This isn't my sumption. Maybe one of my cards might
Speaker 3: call in and disagree, But I think one of the
Speaker 3: reasons they moved a lot of stuff from the streets
Speaker 3: of downtown all the way down to the parks and
Speaker 3: by the riverside is because it was easier to secure.
Speaker 3: Not only did you not have to stop traffic flow
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. I think things like this are
Speaker 3: a lot more difficult to ever been able to pull
Speaker 3: off down at those down at those parks. I don't
Speaker 3: think you can easily get in a vehicle into those
Speaker 3: places because we've kind of gone away from the closing
Speaker 3: down the streets for things like tastes and stuff, and
Speaker 3: we've moved all that stuff down to Sawyer Point and
Speaker 3: the big parks down there, So I think we're better
Speaker 3: off in Cincinnati. It's, like I just admitted, not my
Speaker 3: area of expertise. I do think that if you want
Speaker 3: to see who really does it well and how it's
Speaker 3: avoided any disasters in a long long time, it's New
Speaker 3: York City. And I think that had are gone a
Speaker 3: role and should role for whatever happened here in New
Speaker 3: Orleans that allowed a truck to go into an area
Speaker 3: that was just wall to wall people. And I've only
Speaker 3: been to New Orleans one time when for FOP convention,
Speaker 3: and I don't think it was overly busy when I
Speaker 3: was there, but I've seen the footage many many times
Speaker 3: in the Marti Gras and stuff like New Orleans. When
Speaker 3: you're talking about wall to wall people, you cannot he
Speaker 3: cannot physically allow a vehicle to be able to get
Speaker 3: around barricades, barriers and all this other stuff because it
Speaker 3: just leads to what this was, which was a killing field.
Speaker 3: This was this this this was you know, just an
Speaker 3: unspeakable carnage. And you know, I've seen some of the
Speaker 3: videos and didn't followed it real closely on social media.
Speaker 3: Uh you know, obviously then the Number one goes to
Speaker 3: the the evil the Eagle. You know, I can't say
Speaker 3: stuff on the radio that I'd like to about this
Speaker 3: this guy, but right behind him and any associates he
Speaker 3: might have had, my anger goes towards just the incompetence
Speaker 3: of whatever their plan or lack thereof, for keeping vehicles
Speaker 3: out of urban street.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, let's say it's well, let's say that Cincinnati
Speaker 1: was going to have a big event that that was
Speaker 1: going to draw national attention, much like what was going
Speaker 1: on in New Orleans. They had the college football game
Speaker 1: National Center Quarterfinal with Notre Dame University and the University
Speaker 1: of Georgia happening at the Supernome. So that that is
Speaker 1: an event and we should I was just reading a
Speaker 1: story earlier today about how a year ago the Rand
Speaker 1: Corporation put out a report pointing out the vulnerabilities we
Speaker 1: have in these exact areas and pointing out this exact
Speaker 1: sort of attack that can happen. And it seems to
Speaker 1: me that when you have a national something that is
Speaker 1: worthy of a national event, a big event is going
Speaker 1: to be on national television. The eyes of the country
Speaker 1: are going to be upon New Orleans for a period
Speaker 1: of time that is a prime target right there, and
Speaker 1: so there is It seems to me there's naturally coordination
Speaker 1: with Homeland Security with you know, you name the federal agency, uh,
Speaker 1: the FBI, to see whatever whatever the agency it is
Speaker 1: that and I imagine that happens here. It happens in
Speaker 1: any major city where there is a national event that
Speaker 1: requires additional security and it and I hate, I hate
Speaker 1: to criticize police, the men and women on the street
Speaker 1: who are doing the job, but you can, and it's
Speaker 1: not taking long here.
Speaker 2: You can. We can go right up the ladder and we.
Speaker 1: See leadership failure after leadership failure, and the innocent people
Speaker 1: on the street are the ones who wind up paying
Speaker 1: the price for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I have no problem at all saying that
Speaker 3: there there's some people there that obviously need to be
Speaker 3: looked at hard, starting with the police chief there and
Speaker 3: and then her command staff, the ones that were in
Speaker 3: charge of that district. Uh they have a special events
Speaker 3: section like we do in Cincinnati. Those are all people
Speaker 3: that I would hope had been the training, had you know,
Speaker 3: the years of experience, they know that this This is
Speaker 3: not the first time that I think vehicles have probably
Speaker 3: caused damage to persons in New Orleans. I would say
Speaker 3: it's probably happened before with a drunk or something like
Speaker 3: that that you heard the chief right away, she said, well,
Speaker 3: this isn't you know a case with the DUI. I
Speaker 3: think we had something some decades ago in Cincinnati where
Speaker 3: a drunk went through some some barricades, you know, ones
Speaker 3: that were meant to tell people the stuff up, but
Speaker 3: not physically strong enough to stop vehicles. So we've had
Speaker 3: that here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: You know, some of the places I currently work have, uh,
Speaker 3: these these concrete bears and baffles because you know, they
Speaker 3: they they know that their community might be one that
Speaker 3: is marked for for terrorist attacks. And so there's a
Speaker 3: lot of places that have built these these type of
Speaker 3: barriers that physically prevent even you know, a good sized
Speaker 3: pickup truck or god Forbids and Mike gets a hold
Speaker 3: of something like a dump truck or whatever from from
Speaker 3: from going up and making contact to a building. So
Speaker 3: they're protecting a building. But when you're protecting a street
Speaker 3: that normally is open to traffic, you know you've got
Speaker 3: to get a vented and go right back to New York.
Speaker 3: I heard them saying when they're talking about the ball
Speaker 3: dropping on on on New Year's Eve, that they they
Speaker 3: they block the streets and I'm imagine they're probably, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, just a couple of feet apart from one another,
Speaker 3: so uh, walking traffic can get through. But they put
Speaker 3: these these great, big municipal trucks stilled with sand. So
Speaker 3: that evil There I go again, trying to think of
Speaker 3: words I can say, but I can't on the radio
Speaker 3: that that that evil thug could not have gotten his
Speaker 3: pickup truck down to run people over if he would
Speaker 3: have tried to do the same thing in New York City.
Speaker 3: I don't believe he could have done it.
Speaker 1: Up pick up trug with the ISIS flag on the back,
Speaker 1: Absolutely amazing. How yeah, close to that area, Dan Hill,
Speaker 1: stay right there. We got to get to a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll continue with you on the other side.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk station.
Speaker 2: Have you taken your family to fifty.
Speaker 1: Five KRC the Talk Station. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: continuing our conversation with Dan Hills, one time president of
Speaker 1: the FOP Cincinnati Police and Dan, I guess it's good
Speaker 1: that nor Orland turned the investigation over to the FBI
Speaker 1: since the police chief herself back in August actually hit
Speaker 1: a couple of pedestrians when she was when she was
Speaker 1: driving through the French Quarter. So maybe not the best
Speaker 1: person to investigate an incident like this.
Speaker 9: And another of them.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't None of this should be something to laugh about.
Speaker 3: But that is one thing that does does make you chuckle,
Speaker 3: that they're that there. Police chief is also known for
Speaker 3: running folks over. Just back to why I'm saying, you know,
Speaker 3: let's not forget about the uh walka shaw is that
Speaker 3: how it's pronounced.
Speaker 2: That was a couple of a couple of Christmases ago, yep.
Speaker 3: Yees, six six people uh killed there? And then you
Speaker 3: know what, I didn't know until I just ran. And
Speaker 3: you're gonna find this hard to believe, Dan, I'm reading
Speaker 3: an MSNBC article.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever go to s NBC for
Speaker 3: my news. But they came right up when I when
Speaker 3: I just ran at the break passed attacks such as
Speaker 3: these right And did you know in China in November
Speaker 3: that a driver rammed his car into a crowd at
Speaker 3: a sports center. I am not going to try to
Speaker 3: pronounce the Chinese City, but they killed thirty five people
Speaker 3: and severely injured forty three. The Deadly's attacks one of
Speaker 3: the deadly's attacks in contemporary China. It recently happened in London, Ontario.
Speaker 3: And so this is something you're asking about Cincinnati's readiness
Speaker 3: for it, and I don't have the complete answer for you.
Speaker 3: I think we're a lot better than we used to be.
Speaker 3: I think not not to be a dead horse, but
Speaker 3: I think New York's probably the best. And they, you know,
Speaker 3: terrible things happen, and all of a sudden, you learn
Speaker 3: to get real good. And obviously nine to eleven caught
Speaker 3: in New York City that they have to they have
Speaker 3: to prevent these these type of attacks the best they can,
Speaker 3: and knowing that vehicles is a very very common weapon,
Speaker 3: they've made themselves ready. And then go back to Cincinnati
Speaker 3: and all the other cities across this country. You know,
Speaker 3: with your was your president Joe Biden, letting all these
Speaker 3: people in across the border. I think everybody who is
Speaker 3: in charge of events, whether it's in Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis,
Speaker 3: or wherever, needs to be very conscious of this. And
Speaker 3: and I hope we never ever see again that a
Speaker 3: police chief gets on the microphone and says, also, I
Speaker 3: just defeated our barriers. You know you can't. You can't
Speaker 3: have barriers that are defeated or they're not barriers anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, the mayor said that they've got these ballards that
Speaker 1: they use, and somehow these ballards were not functioning properly.
Speaker 1: So you know, they'll be ready in time for the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. They just weren't ready in time for New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve. And I'm thinking of my you know, these
Speaker 1: are posts that go into the ground. There's not a
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts there. I don't know how they
Speaker 1: can not be operable. I think someone needs to look
Speaker 1: into that flimsy excuse for not having the proper barriers
Speaker 1: in place. But I mean, how many wake up calls
Speaker 1: do we need in this country. I was talking earlier
Speaker 1: about a report that came out a year ago from
Speaker 1: the Rand Corporation, and they describe soft targets like this,
Speaker 1: and they describe, you know that it's one thing to
Speaker 1: be trying to prevent people from flying jetliners into places
Speaker 1: like the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but the
Speaker 1: low level stuff like someone who wants to drive a
Speaker 1: vehicle into a crowd of people. Those are the kind
Speaker 1: of things that we really need to be on our
Speaker 1: toes for. So a year ago, you know, these warnings
Speaker 1: went out to Department of Homeland Security police departments across
Speaker 1: the country, and this should be yet another wake up
Speaker 1: call that we really need to the people who get paid,
Speaker 1: the people who spend their time concentrating on these sorts
Speaker 1: of things that this is. You know, this is not
Speaker 1: a wasted exercise that that you know, there are again,
Speaker 1: there are real life consequences for when even there's even
Speaker 1: the tiniest laps in security like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you just said it, you know, wake up call.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to stop using that term because if
Speaker 3: people aren't aware of this, yeah, all you got to
Speaker 3: do is run it on your Google search. And even
Speaker 3: even our friends that were at MSNBC are are are
Speaker 3: writing articles that said that says, this happens all the time.
Speaker 3: So we can't we can't play dumb anymore. We can't,
Speaker 3: you know, shrug our shoulders. I think what they're talking
Speaker 3: about in the really instantius say you're clear, is they
Speaker 3: actually have these doors that can come up, great big
Speaker 3: metal doors that can come up and block streets and
Speaker 3: for some reason those were not triggered apparently and uh
Speaker 3: some parts of around Bourbon Street and back to possibly indictable.
Speaker 3: We got to find out who who did not have
Speaker 3: those doors up and if if they're not functioning for
Speaker 3: this reason or that reason, then you got to block
Speaker 3: it with vehicles that that are you know, unable to
Speaker 3: be rammed or pushed out of the way by something
Speaker 3: as common as the pitch up truck. So they failed miserably,
Speaker 3: and you know, the list goes on and on. As
Speaker 3: I'm reading. You know, in twenty eighteen in Toronto, eleven
Speaker 3: people killed. But back in New York a bike path
Speaker 3: was a nice a nice Becky, a man who I
Speaker 3: think was supportive of the religion of Love and peace,
Speaker 3: killed eight people and injured eleven. Barcelona, Spain, thirteen people
Speaker 3: were a kill. So these these attacks are very, very common,
Speaker 3: and so we have to whenever we have a crowd.
Speaker 3: I think police departments across this country are going to
Speaker 3: have to find something better than just you know, putting
Speaker 3: up some cones.
Speaker 2: You know, cones, Yeah, don't.
Speaker 3: Stop somebody helping it on on on mass murder, so
Speaker 3: there will be no excuses anymore. And I think that
Speaker 3: it's it's it's oh, it's up to somebody, a public
Speaker 3: person like you, to keep putting us out that way,
Speaker 3: nobody can say they didn't know.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna do it at every opportunity, Dan,
Speaker 1: Can you hang around for one more segment. We got
Speaker 1: to get to a quick break here. The crime numbers
Speaker 1: came out for twenty twenty four in Cincinnati. I want
Speaker 1: to run those by you real quick. Yees, sure, okay,
Speaker 1: Dan Hill's He'll hang around for one more segment and
Speaker 1: we'll continue on fifty five KRC, the talk station What's
Speaker 1: up every seven thirty on this Thursday morning, as we
Speaker 1: talk with Dan Hills, and I'm told west Side Jim
Speaker 1: suggested this for your new Walcoup music.
Speaker 3: Dan, what do you think you're bringing all the heavy hitters.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, man that Joe Strecker, now, Jim Jim Keeper.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't debate with any of these folks.
Speaker 3: They are they're just too uh, they're they're too important
Speaker 3: for me to see debate at. Also, people whatever Joe
Speaker 3: and Jim decide.
Speaker 2: People love you in this town, man.
Speaker 1: They want you to have. They want you, They want
Speaker 1: to know when you're going to be around, But then
Speaker 1: I always appreciate you being here. The numbers have come
Speaker 1: out for twenty twenty four. When you look at crime
Speaker 1: numbers in Cincinnati overall, they say crime is down about
Speaker 1: six percent, which I guess you can take away that
Speaker 1: as good. But when you look at some of the
Speaker 1: some of the individual numbers, twelve percent increase in violent crimes,
Speaker 1: homicides are flat over the past three years. Seventy two
Speaker 1: people killed in Cincinnati in twenty twenty four, which to
Speaker 1: me sounds still like a pretty big number. I'd like
Speaker 1: to see that number drop off a lot. And things
Speaker 1: like aggravated assaults up eleven percent, violent crime, robbery up
Speaker 1: fourteen percent from twenty twenty three, rape was down twenty
Speaker 1: four percent. So a little bit of a mixed bag
Speaker 1: in these numbers that came out.
Speaker 2: What do you make of them?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think that's a lot. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of things in numbers that are just kind of
Speaker 3: a flu when you're talking about a city the size
Speaker 3: of the sass that it's a bunch of times you
Speaker 3: get when the administration starts, city administration, police administration, they'll
Speaker 3: brag about a drop in shootings or homicides or whatever.
Speaker 3: I say, well, let's just wait till the next year,
Speaker 3: because if you manage to lock up the right handful
Speaker 3: of people, then all of a sudden, your statistics will
Speaker 3: will drop. I don't know if it's always necessarily a trend.
Speaker 3: In general, I think our trends are not real good
Speaker 3: as our criminal justice system becomes more and more broken.
Speaker 3: You said flat and homicides in seventy two. You know,
Speaker 3: that's that that has been a consistent number of in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: sixty seventy some homicide a year. And when you're talking
Speaker 3: about a city of just a little over three hundred
Speaker 3: thousand people, I'm quite certain that probably puts us as
Speaker 3: far as murder rate goes, in the top twenty or
Speaker 3: so in the United States. So it's not it's not
Speaker 3: something that we want to go go bragging about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what you're going to hang your hat on. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean and again that that number, just say, it
Speaker 1: sounds high to me in the to say to say
Speaker 1: that it's flat sort of sort of minimizes that number
Speaker 1: a little bit. I would like to see that number,
Speaker 1: you know, drop off by ten, fifteen, twenty twenty five people.
Speaker 3: Well, consider this thing, you know, when you look at
Speaker 3: the numbers, if you really talk about different periods of
Speaker 3: time in the city, go back to like the seventies
Speaker 3: when there was a half million people in the city
Speaker 3: or darn near and the medical care was so much different.
Speaker 3: And so if you got stabbed, because I think stabbings
Speaker 3: were more common than the seventies than shootings were, you
Speaker 3: probably got transported to the er by a couple of
Speaker 3: policemen in a scale car. Now you've got paramedics units,
Speaker 3: you have these incredible trauma centers. They saved so.
Speaker 28: Many lives of so many shooting victims that we have that,
Speaker 28: you know, God is if we had the same the
Speaker 28: same type of medical responses that we had, say in
Speaker 28: nineteen seventy five, that we have with with today's violence,
Speaker 28: can you.
Speaker 3: Imagine how many homicides we'd have. We'd probably have, you know,
Speaker 3: north of one hundred and fifty homicides. So there is
Speaker 3: way way too much violence in our city. And one
Speaker 3: of my favorite things I always bring up is whenever
Speaker 3: the left it's about gun control, which makes me want
Speaker 3: to pull my by al Bryle's out is that they won't.
Speaker 3: They want gun laws, more gun laws, hold that we
Speaker 3: don't enforce the one of the best gun laws we have,
Speaker 3: which is weapons under disability. So, Dan Carroll, if you
Speaker 3: get yourself convicted of a felony, you're no longer allowed
Speaker 3: to possess a firearm. And we have it every day.
Speaker 3: I would say, in Cincinnati, multiple arrest of people with
Speaker 3: weapons under disability, and what do the local judges and
Speaker 3: courts and corrections do to them here in Cincinnati in
Speaker 3: the general term, the answer is nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just slap on the slap on the wrist, or
Speaker 2: back out on the street.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would be surprised by
Speaker 1: the number of criminals in this in this area who
Speaker 1: have already been in the system, through the system, been
Speaker 1: convicted of this, been convicted that's spent a little time
Speaker 1: behind bars that, and it really is a relatively small
Speaker 1: number of people that commit the majority of crimes around here.
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I don't do well putting together statistics, but
Speaker 3: I'd love to see the statistics. We have great homicide
Speaker 3: investigators here in the city since then, and we still
Speaker 3: close the majority of our house sides. How many of
Speaker 3: those folks that have been convicted of homicide had previously
Speaker 3: been convicted under my favorite crime that I like to
Speaker 3: talk about, weapons under disabilities. Yeah, and I was at
Speaker 3: a very high percentage. And what happened to him when
Speaker 3: they got convicted about probably.
Speaker 2: Next to nothing.
Speaker 3: And so we keep letting these folks in and out
Speaker 3: the revolving door, and then we sit there and act
Speaker 3: surprise one. We see that there's seventy two homicides and
Speaker 3: god knows how many shootings in our you know, relatively
Speaker 3: medium sized city.
Speaker 2: All right, well, Dan Hill's with that. We will let
Speaker 2: you go, sir as.
Speaker 1: Always appreciate the time and keep up the great work,
Speaker 1: and we will talk again, hopefully not before too long.
Speaker 1: But and I mean the the you know, these things,
Speaker 1: these incidents like what happened in New Orleans. I mean,
Speaker 1: these things have to stop. And it just to my
Speaker 1: way of thinking that you've got to take the action
Speaker 1: on the front end so we don't wind up with
Speaker 1: the results like this on the back end.
Speaker 3: I agree one hundred percent. Dan, look forward to the
Speaker 3: next time we talk.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go.
Speaker 1: Dan Hill's former president of the FOP and always great
Speaker 1: to have him on. Appreciate the time as always. Seven
Speaker 1: thirty six Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five krc
Speaker 1: DE Talk station.
Speaker 2: His Ryan Thomas here for four.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krc DE Talks Station, seven forty Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas five one, three, seven.
Speaker 2: Four, nine, fifty five hundred. If you want to get
Speaker 2: on board, baby.
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about the Biden administration and the
Speaker 1: things that are going to thwart the Trumpet Minute stration
Speaker 1: as they come in.
Speaker 2: Here's another one of them.
Speaker 1: The Biden administration frantically trying to dole out as many
Speaker 1: billions of dollars as possible to fund so called green
Speaker 1: initiatives and do so in a way that incoming President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump cannot reverse. So the national media is going
Speaker 1: to talk when it's time for Biden to go, We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about what a great statesman, what a
Speaker 1: you know, peaceful transfer of power, this is how it's done.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to relive all the January sixth stuff.
Speaker 1: You know that Biden's gonna give Liz Cheney a metal
Speaker 1: today for carrying his water on the January sixth Committee
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it.
Speaker 2: But when you look at what this administration is doing.
Speaker 1: And a judge just told this administration last week that
Speaker 1: they had to stop selling parts of what Joe, you
Speaker 1: saw that, dan'ea the sale that they were taking the
Speaker 1: parts of the World Wall that have been rusting out
Speaker 1: there in the desert for the last four years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pennies on the dollar and ridiculously low prices. A judge
Speaker 1: told him they had to stop doing that. Apparently we
Speaker 1: need more judges who tell who should tell them to
Speaker 1: stop doing stuff that's going to make Trump's life a
Speaker 1: living hell when he gets in office, at least that's
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do.
Speaker 2: So I mean, is that very statesman like to allow
Speaker 2: your and.
Speaker 1: I keep talking about I talk about this guy as
Speaker 1: if he's responsible for what is happening under his administration,
Speaker 1: and it's in a technical sense he is responsible for it,
Speaker 1: But in a practical sense, we know that he is
Speaker 1: probably for the most part, absolutely clueless as to what
Speaker 1: the people around him are up to and what they
Speaker 1: are doing. On Tuesday, the Department of Energy announced that
Speaker 1: it will provide a record fifteen billion dollars low interest
Speaker 1: loan commitment to California utility company PG and E through
Speaker 1: its energy infrastructure Reinvestment Project created by Biden's dubiously titled
Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act. EIR supports roads and that retool, repower,
Speaker 1: repurpose to replace energy infrastructure, and that enable operating energy
Speaker 1: infrastructure to avoid, reduce, utilize, sequester air pollutants or greenhouse gases.
Speaker 1: The loan will support hundreds of projects aimed at fighting
Speaker 1: the effect of climate change and improving the electrical grid.
Speaker 2: The Wall Street General reports the Biden.
Speaker 1: Administration has already made more than forty two point four
Speaker 1: billion dollars in loan commitments and is feverishly working to
Speaker 1: add to that total.
Speaker 2: I mean, that is just beyond sick, and.
Speaker 1: They are just trying to shovel money out the door
Speaker 1: as fast as possible. I saw a report last week
Speaker 1: that lawmakers in the state of California have gone to
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge asking boota Judge, the Secretary of Transportation,
Speaker 1: and he's got how many untold billions at his disposal
Speaker 1: thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. But he's got all
Speaker 1: this money that he can ladle out, and they're asking
Speaker 1: him for hundreds of millions more for the high speed
Speaker 1: rail system in California, and they want this done before
Speaker 1: what before Trump gets into office, because they know he's
Speaker 1: going to say no ba but nah, it is time
Speaker 1: to shut this kind of stuff down. But this is
Speaker 1: the kind of petty, low level bush league stuff that
Speaker 1: is going on throughout this administration. A week or so ago,
Speaker 1: we learned that they put out the Biden administration did
Speaker 1: put out feelers for hiring DEI executives in all these
Speaker 1: different departments of the federal government. They want to get
Speaker 1: all these people in place. When DEI is starting to
Speaker 1: go down the crap hole. We've got company after company
Speaker 1: that is getting rid of their DEI infrastructure. Universities all
Speaker 1: across the country are saying no more DEI. They've wasted
Speaker 1: untold millions of dollars on these initiatives and they're not
Speaker 1: getting any bang for the buck out of it. And
Speaker 1: so the whole DEI thing is winding down itself under
Speaker 1: its own weight. It is grinding to a halt because
Speaker 1: it is completely unsustainable, and with the Trump administration, that
Speaker 1: is only going to be accelerated. And so they are
Speaker 1: doing everything they can to push their agenda and have
Speaker 1: it linger as as long as possible in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: I mean it is sick, it is petty, and it
Speaker 1: is small. And again the national media and maybe I'll
Speaker 1: read that piece from the New York Post again that
Speaker 1: lied to us from day one about the cognitive abilities
Speaker 1: of this president is going to do it again when
Speaker 1: it's time for him to step away.
Speaker 2: Seven seven forty six.
Speaker 1: Now Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRSD talk stations.
Speaker 2: It's open enrollment. Maybe you're looking at one of the
Speaker 2: three year.
Speaker 1: D night first wondering weather forecast mostly cloudy, a high today.
Speaker 2: I'm thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Snow expected to start tonight or during the overnight hours,
Speaker 1: maybe an inch on the ground by eight o'clock tomorrow morning,
Speaker 1: and the overnight low twenty eight. Partleer, cloudy on Friday.
Speaker 2: Going to get cold.
Speaker 1: I I have only thirty three and really cold as
Speaker 1: we head it to Saturday, with an overnight low of eighteen.
Speaker 1: It is at fifty five KRCV talk station from the.
Speaker 6: Uc UP Traffic Center. The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center
Speaker 6: is the region's first and only provider of specialized primary
Speaker 6: care services for cancer patients and survivors.
Speaker 2: Called five one three five eighty five.

Speaker 6: a huge delay as of yet. They're on the left side,
Speaker 6: broken down in the center lane northbound seventy five near
Speaker 6: Union Center. Back in traffic towards to seventy five. Chuck
Speaker 6: ingramon fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 9: You get a ship in the duck gets raining in
Speaker 9: the pubs.
Speaker 1: Meantime, fifty five KRC DE talk station.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll in for Ryan Thomas, brought some audio with me.
Speaker 2: I want to play it.
Speaker 1: One is on CNN, and then one of the things
Speaker 1: I do when you know, I watch a lot of
Speaker 1: Fox News and but one of the things I do
Speaker 1: when I get ready for these shows is I and
Speaker 1: I'd probably do this in my even if I wasn't
Speaker 1: on on radio, but I flip around to MSNBC and CNN,
Speaker 1: and I'll probably watch more than my fair share of
Speaker 1: c spam because I'm just that that's the way I'm wired.
Speaker 1: I CA's I mean, I will watch these procedures in
Speaker 1: the Senate and the House, and a lot of times
Speaker 1: they're taking votes and you got people standing, and I'll
Speaker 1: look around there, you know, there's that static shot of
Speaker 1: the floor of the Senate or the floor of the
Speaker 1: House when they're taking the votes, and I'll and I'll
Speaker 1: just look to see if I can identify these senators
Speaker 1: and see who's talking to who, and try to read
Speaker 1: the body language and figure out what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: But one of the things that has been happening on
Speaker 1: CNN lately, and CNN their numbers are just abysmal. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're getting beat by the Food Channel, they're getting beat
Speaker 1: by a Nickelodeon, they're getting a CNN. Their numbers are
Speaker 1: just in the crapper and MSNBC is not far behind him.
Speaker 1: One of the things that CNN has done over the
Speaker 1: last oh I'm gonna say it's been about five six months,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not that long, but they've got a guy
Speaker 1: on Scott Jennings, and I believe he was a member
Speaker 1: of Congress or a staffer at one time in Congress,
Speaker 1: and he is a conservative voice and I'm just as
Speaker 1: smart as a whip. And this is an appearance he made.
Speaker 1: He's a contributor to a lot of their different shows,
Speaker 1: so he appears on a lot of the different panels
Speaker 1: that CNN puts on and his analysis has been absolutely
Speaker 1: on point, absolutely killer. And this is him laying out
Speaker 1: some common sense on CNN when he was asked about
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. And just listen to this and I'll give
Speaker 1: you my thoughts on this after we roll this cut. Joe,
Speaker 1: that's cut number three. Let's hear that you have.
Speaker 29: Concerns about Elon Musk's business dealings in other countries, including
Speaker 29: American adversaries, and the level of influence that has over
Speaker 29: his own behavior and his interest.
Speaker 2: I have no concerns about Elon Musk.
Speaker 22: I have been looking at pictures of Joe Biden and
Speaker 22: Hunter Biden meeting with Chinese political leaders lately that we.
Speaker 2: Were told didn't exist.
Speaker 22: So for all the people who were really upset about
Speaker 22: Elon Musk having a very successful international business that actually
Speaker 22: produces things, actually produces vehicles or rockets or whatever they're doing,
Speaker 22: the Biden's produced nothing, and yet we're also doing business
Speaker 22: in China.
Speaker 4: I don't have this.
Speaker 29: I don't want you to change the subject, because it's
Speaker 29: not really about whether he's successful business person or not.
Speaker 29: It's about whether his material interests as a business owner
Speaker 29: are in conflict with the United States as nationals.
Speaker 22: My view is. My view is his prospects and interest
Speaker 22: as a business owner, and most of the things he's
Speaker 22: into electric cars, rockets, the Internet that we're using all
Speaker 22: over the world. It's good for the United States to
Speaker 22: be the warehouse for that. It's good for our national
Speaker 22: security to have this kind of technology. I just the
Speaker 22: idea that there is somehow a conflict in the United
Speaker 22: States having this kind of a businessman and that's somehow
Speaker 22: bad for us, I just totally rejected.
Speaker 1: So there's Scott Jennings on CNN, and you get a
Speaker 1: really good flavor for the kind of commentary that this
Speaker 1: guy in Jacks. And there's so many people at CNN
Speaker 1: who have been doing these panels and then hosting these
Speaker 1: shows for such a time now that they are totally
Speaker 1: unacquainted with the idea that someone is going to counter
Speaker 1: the narrative that they are putting out there. And I
Speaker 1: can play cut after cut, sound by after SoundBite of
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings getting into it with another panelist on that show,
Speaker 1: and so when she he flat out really, I mean,
Speaker 1: the commentary here is brilliant. I mean, the notion that
Speaker 1: we should be concerned about Elon Musk and his influence
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump and whether or not it's going to
Speaker 1: conflict with his business interests or he's certainly, you know,
Speaker 1: just looking out for what's best for his business and
Speaker 1: screwing over the American people. And Scott Jennings throws it
Speaker 1: right back in her face and he says, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at pictures of Joe Biden meeting with his
Speaker 1: son's Chinese business partners. And we have been told again
Speaker 1: since before this administration started, that these things never happened.
Speaker 1: That look, Hunter, Biden is just a businessman, you know,
Speaker 1: people doing business overseas. Nothing unusual about that, nothing to
Speaker 1: get excited about. You know, when when Don when Donald
Speaker 1: Trump does it, well there's something nefarious about something that's
Speaker 1: underhanded or shady. But when when Joe Hiden's son does it,
Speaker 1: it's no problem whatsoever. And then of course the lie
Speaker 1: after lie after lie about him not meeting with these people.
Speaker 2: So Scott Jennings and the fact that this makes headlines in.
Speaker 1: The circles that I look at and the things that
Speaker 1: I look at should tell you an awful lot about
Speaker 1: how dishonest and how you know, uh undiverse that CNN
Speaker 1: has been for a long, long time, especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to diversity of thought.
Speaker 2: He is seven fifty five.
Speaker 1: We got to get to a break news coming up
Speaker 1: top of the hour, and then we'll be talking to
Speaker 1: Kurt Hartman on the other side of this all kinds
Speaker 1: of political things and maybe some terrorist stuff and whatever
Speaker 1: else comes to mind during that conversation, so I hope
Speaker 1: you can stick around for that.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk Stations your voice than your.

Speaker 1: stuff that happened there. And then I get up on
Speaker 1: New Year's Day and I see some dude on the
Speaker 1: subway in New York City pushing a guy in front
Speaker 1: of a train. There's, you know, a celebration in New
Speaker 1: Orleans where fifteen people wind up dead because this guy,
Speaker 1: this terrorist, is driving his truck down a street that
Speaker 1: somehow the barriers weren't erected that should have been there.
Speaker 1: And then we see a let me see, we've got
Speaker 1: a Tesla vehicle, the signature vehicle of of Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: parked in front of a Trump hotel in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: that that blows up, kills the driver of that vehicle,
Speaker 1: injures other people. Uh, should we be should we be
Speaker 1: getting the message here? Should we be getting a little
Speaker 1: bit of a wake up call?
Speaker 7: I think so.
Speaker 27: And it was it was Las Vegas, not Los Agles,
Speaker 27: Las Vegas, okay, right, And it was.
Speaker 5: A rented they were you know, they were all rented vehicles.
Speaker 27: Interesting New Orleans and Las Vegas and that. Yeah, it's just,
Speaker 27: you know, I think we're going to see more of
Speaker 27: that stuff. I think, you you know, even though I
Speaker 27: think the uh guy in New Orleans and New Orleans
Speaker 27: was you know, uh a Native American, et cetera. But
Speaker 27: with this massive McGray shot, you know, this stuff is
Speaker 27: rarely just a powder keg ready to go off because
Speaker 27: we've had so many people over the past four years,
Speaker 27: you know, immigrating into this country or illegally crossing into this.
Speaker 5: Country more accurately, uh with with no no no vetting people.
Speaker 5: A lot of got aways, I mean millions of gataways
Speaker 5: that we have no clue who they are.
Speaker 27: Yeah, I think and I think good the Trump administration's
Speaker 27: kind in Tom Holman as the incoming you know, borders
Speaker 27: are really committed to straightening the uh dasco that was
Speaker 27: the Biden administration for the past four years.
Speaker 5: So I think it's just we're telling what I think
Speaker 5: really needs to happen.
Speaker 27: I think hopefully the American those who might have had
Speaker 27: doubts might say, hey, there's more serious stuff going on.
Speaker 5: That, Yeah, we really need to get control.
Speaker 27: Get control of the border, get the rest of the
Speaker 27: border wall built, et cetera.
Speaker 5: So, uh yeah, disappointing, you know, sad way to.
Speaker 27: Start the new years for everybody, but especially for the
Speaker 27: people and their families who were impacted by these events.
Speaker 27: You know, but I think there's a certain level of
Speaker 27: but there's a certain level of optimism I think really
Speaker 27: for most people, uh.
Speaker 5: With with Trump coming in.
Speaker 27: I have said, you know, the benefit that I think
Speaker 27: Trump has, uh having having sat out a term, is
Speaker 27: he's coming in.
Speaker 5: He's bringing a whole new late of people in to
Speaker 5: his administration.
Speaker 27: You know, if he had simply won re election at
Speaker 27: twenty twenty or it would have been more continuation of
Speaker 27: the same. I think part of the swamp would have
Speaker 27: been there still within the administration undermining him. But the
Speaker 27: fact that he was out of office for four years,
Speaker 27: he's now know, he's smarter, he knows what he knows
Speaker 27: the game, he knows there's those elements that are trying
Speaker 27: to undermine him, and so he's able to bring his
Speaker 27: team in committed to his agenda, to the agenda that
Speaker 27: the American people.
Speaker 5: Voted for in November.
Speaker 27: And so I think that that is the one benefit
Speaker 27: we have going in with in a few weeks here
Speaker 27: when Trump takes the oath of office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to talk a little bit about how
Speaker 1: remarkable it is that Trump actually was able to win
Speaker 1: with all the all the forces that were arrayed against him.
Speaker 1: But just to finish up my thought on what's happening
Speaker 1: with the border, I find it interesting this argument that
Speaker 1: for so long now this administration, the Obama administration, whenever
Speaker 1: places like Texas would take steps to try to secure
Speaker 1: their border. And I know Obama, the administration there under
Speaker 1: a Republican governor in Arizona sued those states, saying that
Speaker 1: those states are interfering with the enforcement of federal law
Speaker 1: when it comes to trying to take steps on their own.
Speaker 1: Now we have the specter of Tom Homan, and he's
Speaker 1: going to come in and engage in this mass deportation.
Speaker 1: And we have so many different individuals across You've got
Speaker 1: Pritzker in Illinois, You've got the governor of Washington State
Speaker 1: and Oregon saying that they are going to fight tooth
Speaker 1: and Nail. I think Hochel and New York has said
Speaker 1: the same thing, that they're going to do everything they
Speaker 1: can to prevent these deportations from from taking place. Doesn't
Speaker 1: this sort of fall under the same thing that that
Speaker 1: this is the jurisdiction of federal law enforcement and not
Speaker 1: state law enforcement. How are they going to going to
Speaker 1: reconcile those two ideas if this thing really hits the
Speaker 1: fan the way it possibly could.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I wonder how what what are they
Speaker 5: really going to be able to do?
Speaker 27: You know, these governors, these Democrats city mayors who are
Speaker 27: basically saying, we're going to do whatever we can to
Speaker 27: stop Trump. How are they going to be able to
Speaker 27: do that and not run foul of federal criminal law themselves.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that they think they almost act like they're
Speaker 5: so immune. They're you know, no one can touch us.
Speaker 27: Yeah, legally, but you know, they start doing certain things
Speaker 27: and certain acts that start aiding and abetting the violation
Speaker 27: of federal immigration law.
Speaker 5: There they are committing criminal acts.
Speaker 27: And I think Trump and Tom Molmer a kind of
Speaker 27: in a no nonsense attitude. I think the American people
Speaker 27: are in no nonsense attitude about the whole immigration fiasco,
Speaker 27: that of the Biden administration that hey, they'll go after
Speaker 27: them criminally and that they okay find you. That's that's
Speaker 27: kind of force you. And it's not a political retribution.
Speaker 27: It's not really the lawfare again against them. It's like
Speaker 27: you violated the law. You're vile, you're undermining. You're not
Speaker 27: only undermining, but you're actually taking proactive steps to to
Speaker 27: interfere with federal law enforcement. Trump administration, I could see
Speaker 27: bringing some criminal cases against public officials who engage in
Speaker 27: activities like that. And I think they're gonna be looking at,
Speaker 27: you know, the non governmental organizations that are been that
Speaker 27: have been made billions if you will offer this whole
Speaker 27: open borders of the Biden administration, you know, which is
Speaker 27: even gets into you know, into child child traffic and
Speaker 27: child sex trafficking, et cetera.
Speaker 5: Uh, you know they've got now. I think the lightest
Speaker 5: number I heard was about half.
Speaker 27: A million children who came up across the border who
Speaker 27: they cannot account for where they are. Tom Holmes, to
Speaker 27: President Trump's credit, and and you know Tom Holman has said,
Speaker 27: you know he's getting get.
Speaker 5: The three priorities from President Trump.
Speaker 27: You know, one is to restore the border, build the
Speaker 27: board back up, or get control of the border. The
Speaker 27: second is the deportations, especially of the criminal elements that have.
Speaker 5: Flooded this country.
Speaker 27: And the third element is find these half million children
Speaker 27: that are unaccounted for, because you've got to know most
Speaker 27: of them, a lot of them are basically being being
Speaker 27: sex trafficked and that's not right, you know. And so
Speaker 27: President Trump, to his credit, said that's one of the
Speaker 27: three priorities he's given to Tom Holman with respect to
Speaker 27: to immigration in the border. And so, you know, and
Speaker 27: it's just amazing that, you know, the these liberals, progressive
Speaker 27: governors and mayors are always touting how they're quote quote
Speaker 27: for the children, for the kids, right, what about these
Speaker 27: half million kids? Do they really care about them? No,
Speaker 27: it's all politics. It's using people, using kids for whatever
Speaker 27: ends to advance their political purpose, which is power at
Speaker 27: the end of the day.
Speaker 5: That that's the only political philosophy.
Speaker 27: I think the far left and of the Democrat Party
Speaker 27: has demonstrated themselves committed to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you make a good point.
Speaker 1: I mean that there is no seizing the political high
Speaker 1: ground when you are part of the administration that has
Speaker 1: overseen uh, these these hundreds of thousands of missing kids.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about women and children being sold into uh,
Speaker 1: sex trafficking, sex slavery, uh, you know, and and forced
Speaker 1: forced labor and all the rest of it. When you
Speaker 1: talk about the uh, the bodies that piled up on
Speaker 1: both sides of the border, with people who are desperate
Speaker 1: coming across and drowning in the river and UH and
Speaker 1: dying from exposure and the everything else, you know, all
Speaker 1: the trials and travails of you know, make that trip
Speaker 1: from South America or Central America up through Mexico and
Speaker 1: to the southern board. It is absolutely horrendous the kind
Speaker 1: of things that this administration and that these advocates have overseen.
Speaker 1: So the days of them trying to have the claim
Speaker 1: the moral high ground on this should be over. But
Speaker 1: Kurt Hartman, stay right there. We've got some other subjects
Speaker 1: to talk on and touch on as we continue on,
Speaker 1: so we will do that right after this quick break
Speaker 1: on fifty five krc DE Talk station.
Speaker 2: This is actually Aiken Eddi from the best.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk Station eight nineteen, Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: from Brian Thomas. As we continue our conversation with Kurt
Speaker 1: Hartman and Kurt I sent you a couple of links
Speaker 1: early this morning, and one was to the Select Subcommittee
Speaker 1: that was headed up by Jim Jordan talking about the
Speaker 1: weaponization of the American government. And so when you look
Speaker 1: at that and you go and you go, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can seventy thousand pages. Now, I don't expect you
Speaker 1: to have all that read, you know, I mean I
Speaker 1: sent it to you three o'clock this morning, so I
Speaker 1: know you didn't have all of it read by that.
Speaker 1: But as you look at these, as you look at
Speaker 1: these different reports, it is a chapter and verse on
Speaker 1: some of the some of the goings on that happened
Speaker 1: under this administration. And I think, you know, a good
Speaker 1: lawyer could look at this and say that's criminal activity.
Speaker 1: That's criminal activity. That's criminal activity. So if if the
Speaker 1: Trump administration looks at this and says, you know what,
Speaker 1: we need to investigate this, we need to prosecute this, whatever,
Speaker 1: the media is going to jump on this and say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's political persecution. We knew Trump was going to go
Speaker 1: after its political enemies and all the rest of it. Somehow,
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden does it to Donald Trump, well it's
Speaker 1: virtuous and Trump is. I mean, he's a lawbreaker. I
Speaker 1: mean everyone knows that and all the rest. But when
Speaker 1: I mean, what does it say about law and order
Speaker 1: in this country if this administration can get away with
Speaker 1: all of this stuff and none of it is brought
Speaker 1: to justice.
Speaker 27: Now, it's right, it's got to be a held accountability.
Speaker 27: But you know, let's recognize it. You know, the whole
Speaker 27: Biden administration was a story of no accountability for anything.
Speaker 27: Nobody got fired over anything. You know, uh, you know,
Speaker 27: the whole Afghanistan raw. You know, thirteen Americans get killed
Speaker 27: because of the incompetence you know of Secretary of Austin
Speaker 27: and people at the Pentagon.
Speaker 5: Nobody gets held accountable. And you know, I use that
Speaker 5: just kind kind of as the example. But so, what's
Speaker 5: it say.
Speaker 27: It's not surprising that this happened because everybody working within
Speaker 27: the Biden administration kind of knew. Hey, you know, they
Speaker 27: basically had the task of approval from the hires up
Speaker 27: and the ultimate hire up to engage in this wallfare
Speaker 27: against Trump and his supporters.
Speaker 5: The fact that they need to be held accountable.
Speaker 27: Yes, absolutely, yeah, I just saw them talk about these reports.
Speaker 27: There was actually an article cannot yesterday or day before.
Speaker 27: Just here at the end of December, the Inspector General
Speaker 27: in the Department of Justice talk about three senior Justice
Speaker 27: officials leaking information to the press about ongoing investigation uh,
Speaker 27: just prior to the election in an effort to try
Speaker 27: to influence the election.
Speaker 2: I read I saw that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's the kind of stuff that that's
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that happened with regularity in this administration.
Speaker 1: And it's a it's all it's I mean, it's all
Speaker 1: coming out now in all these different reports. But on
Speaker 1: one hand, I want to see these things looked at.
Speaker 1: I want to see him investigated in a responsible way.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I don't want to see this
Speaker 1: administration get bogged down and uh and and unable to
Speaker 1: advance its own agenda because all of this other stuff
Speaker 1: is going on. Do you think he's got the right
Speaker 1: people in place to do both those same things at
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 7: I think.
Speaker 27: I think so he's got some smart people. I'm especially
Speaker 27: optimistic with its Department of Justice and the FBI. I
Speaker 27: think cash Matel because a great choice for FBI director.
Speaker 5: And you know what I have said, you.
Speaker 27: Know, to myself and to others is hopefully the administration,
Speaker 27: the leadership he puts in the administration can keep focused
Speaker 27: both not always looking in the rare view mirror, but
Speaker 27: looking forward, because you need to figure out more even more.
Speaker 27: I mean, these reports from the congressmen have been helpful,
Speaker 27: but I think there's still more out there to look
Speaker 27: back on. But that's not become so preoccupied on looking
Speaker 27: back that we don't look forward, and how do we
Speaker 27: put systems and checks in place going forward that this
Speaker 27: never happens again, because you know, sad or happy, you know,
Speaker 27: President Trump's not only going to be there for four
Speaker 27: years now hopefully JD.
Speaker 5: Vance or whoever continue continues the legacy.
Speaker 27: But eventually, what when the Democrats come back into power
Speaker 27: someday hopefully you know, several years from now. But when
Speaker 27: that comes back, how do we how do we make
Speaker 27: sure how do we make sure this doesn't happen again?
Speaker 27: And how do we put structures and accountability in place
Speaker 27: so this does not happen again?
Speaker 14: You know?
Speaker 27: And I think because I think that in essence, the
Speaker 27: American people, you know, in the on November fifth, had
Speaker 27: their voice heard and said and rejected this. You know,
Speaker 27: in a certain sense, the American people on November fifth
Speaker 27: were the final jury, if you will, in these cases
Speaker 27: that you know were brought against Trump, the criminal cases.
Speaker 5: They were the jury at the end of the day
Speaker 5: and said, no, this isn't right.
Speaker 27: They saw the law fare for what it was, and
Speaker 27: that's I think in a certain sense, that's really what
Speaker 27: November fifth was, was the jury voting and saying, you know,
Speaker 27: this was wrong what they did to Trump. And I
Speaker 27: don't think the left fully appreciates that still to this date.
Speaker 27: But regardless, when President Trump and his people go in,
Speaker 27: we need to have put things go looking forward to
Speaker 27: make sure this does not happen again. And part of
Speaker 27: that is accountability for those who excessively abuse their powers
Speaker 27: and people.
Speaker 1: You know, you and I talked about, Yeah, you and
Speaker 1: I talked about some of these different cases that were
Speaker 1: brought against Trump, and I think we both predicted that
Speaker 1: these things would would collapse under under their own under
Speaker 1: their own weight, because they were all built on such
Speaker 1: a shaky foundation. And I think when you go case
Speaker 1: by case of all this stuff they brought against Trump
Speaker 1: that turned out by and large to be true, It's
Speaker 1: not because there was someone pulling some strings somewhere or
Speaker 1: he got judicial favors from people on the bench. It's
Speaker 1: because there really was no no secure underpinnings on any
Speaker 1: any solid legal foundation to bring these to bring these
Speaker 1: cases to begin with.
Speaker 2: And I think that's why.
Speaker 27: And then go ahead, I was gonna say, And the
Speaker 27: American people, in their wisdom saw through it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so I can get Let's give credit
Speaker 5: to the American people for that that you have.
Speaker 2: Good idea, the majority of good idea. Can you hang
Speaker 2: around for one more segment?
Speaker 5: I think I can yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, stay right there.
Speaker 1: We'll get a quick break in here and then we'll
Speaker 1: wrap up with Kurt Hartman on the other side of this.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
Speaker 2: Run a business and not thinking.
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, January second, twenty twenty five, New Year is
Speaker 1: off and running. Not to start we were hoping for,
Speaker 1: but here we are and we are continuing on with
Speaker 1: Kurt Hartman and Kurt Hartman. Early this morning, I sent
Speaker 1: you a link to Tom Klingenstein's website and a piece
Speaker 1: entitled the Rise and Fall of the Never Trump Machine.
Speaker 1: And I read this a day or so ago, and
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself. I mean, the Trump story
Speaker 1: as a political story is absolutely amazing as it is.
Speaker 1: But when you read this piece and you think about
Speaker 1: everything that this guy has had to overcome, and not
Speaker 1: only did he have to defeat the Democrat Party, not
Speaker 1: only did he have to defeat the Obama and the
Speaker 1: Clinton forces. Not only did he have defeat to defeat
Speaker 1: the establishment Republicans. Not only did he have to defeat
Speaker 1: the juggernaut of the federal government. When you talk about
Speaker 1: the Justice Department investigations, and you talk about the special councils,
Speaker 1: and you talk about the prosecutors in Atlanta in New York,
Speaker 1: not only did he have to defeat all of that,
Speaker 1: but he also had to overcome this machine of Bill
Speaker 1: Crystal and Liz Cheney and the Lincoln Project, all these
Speaker 1: right wingers, all these so called, you know, defenders of
Speaker 1: freedom and democracy, these never Trumpsters who wound up selling
Speaker 1: their souls and selling their credibility to far left multi billionaires.
Speaker 1: So these were billionaires who were subsidizing people who became
Speaker 1: millionaires to go out and been false narratives about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And so when you look at all of that and
Speaker 1: all these things that were arrayed against him. It is
Speaker 1: almost unimaginable and remarkable in the extreme that he was
Speaker 1: able to overcome all of that and is now going
Speaker 1: to be in the White House on January twentieth.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 27: And the other thing, not only was it remarkable that
Speaker 27: he overcame it, but what's also remarkable is his willingness
Speaker 27: to fight it.
Speaker 5: You know, you know, in a certain sense, why did
Speaker 5: President Trump need to really come back?
Speaker 27: You know here he is a billionaire in his own right,
Speaker 27: has you know, his real estate empire, and most a
Speaker 27: lot of this, most of this probably would never happened
Speaker 27: if he was not running for president in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was. Part of this was all part of.
Speaker 27: An organized collective effort to try to take him out,
Speaker 27: to defeat him in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: But if he had said, you know what, I've done it,
Speaker 5: I've had enough.
Speaker 27: I'm just going back to my business, I would mention
Speaker 27: most of this, if not all, of this would not
Speaker 27: have happened.
Speaker 5: Again to his credit. But to his credit, you know,
Speaker 5: I think it was.
Speaker 27: His commitment, maybe a little bit of his ego, but
Speaker 27: abot it's's commitment to this country to say, no, we
Speaker 27: have some serious issues in this country.
Speaker 5: I want to fight for this country.
Speaker 27: I want to fight for these issues, and I'll fight
Speaker 27: these people who are coming after me in court.
Speaker 5: Think about it.
Speaker 27: He was up in New York in a New York
Speaker 27: state court for weeks on end, having to go to
Speaker 27: trial right during the campaign, you know, and this was
Speaker 27: part of that law fair we're gonna star him, we're
Speaker 27: gonna smear him, we're gonna distract him from the campaign.
Speaker 5: And he had to sit in a courtroom for several
Speaker 5: weeks there.
Speaker 27: Who would do that, you know, you you me or
Speaker 27: anybody else who would do that knowing that, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 27: I don't need the job.
Speaker 5: I got plenty of money, Yeah, I got my family,
Speaker 5: et cetera. He was willing to do it and do
Speaker 5: the fight, and he fought constantly, had to fight there.
Speaker 27: He had the lawyers fighting in Florida in the federal
Speaker 27: courty of the lawyers in Georgia.
Speaker 5: You know, uh, Unfortunately I wasn't one of the lawyers.
Speaker 27: But it's like, you know, lawyers, it was a lawyer,
Speaker 27: employment lawyer, Employment Act or the employee deployment actions on
Speaker 27: behalf of the Democrats.
Speaker 5: But it's like, give him credit. He was fighting it.
Speaker 27: He was fighting it and ultimately vindicated by the American
Speaker 27: people in November fifth. But it is amazing that article
Speaker 27: you did say. It's a little like the article, but
Speaker 27: it's a you know, it was really confirming the existence
Speaker 27: of the swamp. The old Guard Rhinos, uh what I
Speaker 27: with my day and probably your day, referred to as
Speaker 27: Rockefeller Republicans, you know, the far left of the Republican Party,
Speaker 27: who are very establishment, who are very pro government, who
Speaker 27: are who believe themselves to be smarter than anybody else.
Speaker 27: Therefore where we want the government in because we are
Speaker 27: going to control the government.
Speaker 5: To tell you how to live your lives.
Speaker 27: And these were people who are really in essence for
Speaker 27: just were and have been out of touch when the Republic,
Speaker 27: with the Republican base and with the American people. You know,
Speaker 27: the nature of this country historically, you know, the founding
Speaker 27: of it is this very individualistic spirit of you know,
Speaker 27: fighting for yourself, of working hard, of improving yourselves, your lot,
Speaker 27: your family lots, with the traditional American dream, and this
Speaker 27: whole concept of government is is better this, you know,
Speaker 27: And it's that addage.
Speaker 5: It's the swamp. And these are just the Republicans.
Speaker 27: Part of the swamp, part of that power structure, and
Speaker 27: they saw and appreciates that with Trump their power structure
Speaker 27: and power influence was going to be disrupted.
Speaker 5: And they they did not like that.
Speaker 27: Right, people tend to take drastic actions and somebody feels
Speaker 27: and sees that they're losing power, especially those who are.
Speaker 5: So who need, whose needs and existence is power.
Speaker 27: When they see they're going to lose that power, they
Speaker 27: get very nasty and very vindictive. And that was confirmed
Speaker 27: during these past four years. Quote from the demo that's
Speaker 27: the Biden administration, the Democrats, and the far left, but
Speaker 27: also from from these you know, you know, never Trump
Speaker 27: or Republicans, and you know, it's beautiful. I think the
Speaker 27: kind of the conclusion of the article, not only was
Speaker 27: it very revealing how the far left was financing this,
Speaker 27: but it's kind of like it's the demise of the
Speaker 27: never Trump camp, because you know, it's it's amazing, uh
Speaker 27: comically amazing that you look at them, you know, since
Speaker 27: Trump has won the election in November, all the people
Speaker 27: who are making their pilgrimage if you will, down tomorrow lago,
Speaker 27: people who people who had nothing and wanted nothing to
Speaker 27: do with Trump during his first term. Are literally going
Speaker 27: down there and kissing the ring if you will.
Speaker 2: H Hey, he had a meeting. He had a meeting
Speaker 2: the other day with the mayor of d C. For
Speaker 2: God's sake. Yes, I mean, I mean imagine that.
Speaker 1: But no, it is very satisfying because you look at
Speaker 1: this and you see people like Mona Charon and Bill
Speaker 1: Crystal and and some of these other never trumpers, and
Speaker 1: I think to myself, what are they going to do
Speaker 1: now They've been exposed for the frauds that they are.
Speaker 1: How out of touch they are. You wonder how Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris blew through a billion plus dollars during the course
Speaker 1: of one hundred day long campaign, and this pretty much
Speaker 1: explains it. I mean, they really had access to unlimited
Speaker 1: amounts of money and still couldn't bring this guy down.
Speaker 1: So any shred of credibility that they had amongst these
Speaker 1: hardcore left wing power hungry groups has been completely eviscerated.
Speaker 1: And at some point, the look, these people don't give up,
Speaker 1: do they. They don't give up. You know, they're going
Speaker 1: to fall back and regroup and at some point try
Speaker 1: and raise their ugly head once again.
Speaker 27: Right, You're right, they don't give up, because again it
Speaker 27: goes back to power, their their power, their influence, stairy control,
Speaker 27: and if they are losing it, or if they've lost it,
Speaker 27: they're not going to give up absolutely, you.
Speaker 5: Know, you know, kick screen do whatever they have to do,
Speaker 5: and they confirmed it, you know, to do it.
Speaker 27: It's interesting, you know, you talk with you know, some
Speaker 27: people like Bill christ and Stuffing because some of.
Speaker 5: These people were involved in the Reagan administration.
Speaker 27: Yeah, and you almost gets me wondering were these some
Speaker 27: of the people undermining the Reagan administration? You know, Ray,
Speaker 27: I think Reagan was you know, great president, my first
Speaker 27: president when I was voting, and the committed to this
Speaker 27: you know, realignment if you will, of the Republican Party.
Speaker 27: You know, he he he was now the Goldwater wing
Speaker 27: of the party, not the Rockefeller wing. But it looks
Speaker 27: like he had a lot of Rockefeller Republicans in his administration.
Speaker 27: And I just wonder how many of them were undermining
Speaker 27: Ronald Reagan during his two terms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, and they wanted to.
Speaker 1: They wanted to maintain control on their power for as
Speaker 1: long as they have, and I think we saw a
Speaker 1: lot of that manifested in the actions of of of
Speaker 1: doctor jil Biden and uh, I mean, god knows, I
Speaker 1: think she loves being surrounded by everything the White House
Speaker 1: has offered.
Speaker 2: And she did not want to let that go.
Speaker 5: Well, well, now I will tell you. You mentioned the
Speaker 5: man check jump a little bit here.
Speaker 27: You know, Kamala Harris raised a billion dollars in how
Speaker 27: do you lose a campaign with a bit?
Speaker 5: It's because you use all that money.
Speaker 27: To pay for endorsements from high influence and you know,
Speaker 27: supposedly influenced people Oprah and all that you.
Speaker 5: Have to pay these people to endorse you.
Speaker 27: What a fraud, I mean, what a pro What a
Speaker 27: fraud on Kamala Hiris's part, but also what a fraud
Speaker 27: on all these liberal you know people Oprah and company
Speaker 27: who so reindorsem were you know any reason you're endorsing her?
Speaker 5: It's because she just.
Speaker 2: Paid getting a seven figure check.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know it's paid sharp.
Speaker 27: They paid Al Sharpton right before Al Sharpton conducted a
Speaker 27: CNN interview.
Speaker 2: No, I know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 1: And and it's and it's laughable that he's out there
Speaker 1: talking raising the specter of possibly running once again.
Speaker 2: It's hilarious. But Kurt Hartman. Always great having you on, Buddy,
Speaker 2: I appreciate the time.
Speaker 5: Tay, always great to be with you, appreciate the invice.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, and we'll do it again
Speaker 1: before too long. Kurt Hartman and the one time judge,
Speaker 1: and now he's out there defending the rights of the
Speaker 1: American people. It is when we are a little late
Speaker 1: for a break here, so let's go ahead and do that.
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRCV Talks Days.
Speaker 2: Helps if I turn the mic on the nine first
Speaker 2: warning forecast.
Speaker 1: Mostly cloudy today, we will have a high of thirty eight,
Speaker 1: then some snow starts late tonight and during the overnight hours.
Speaker 2: We could see an inch on the ground by this
Speaker 2: time tomorrow morning, Bartley.
Speaker 1: Cloudy on Friday and cold with a high have only
Speaker 1: thirty three, then really cold Friday heading into Saturday. An
Speaker 1: overnight low on Friday of eighteen, it is thirty one.
Speaker 6: At fifty five krc the talk station from we can
Speaker 6: see how Traffic Center. Diniversity of Cincinnati Cancer Center is
Speaker 6: the region's first and only provider a specialized primary care
Speaker 6: services for cancer patients and survivors called five one three
Speaker 6: five eight five UCC see problems in northern Kentucky. Southbound
Speaker 6: seventy five is ran to southbound seventy one is currently
Speaker 6: blocked off. That is due to an accident above Walton. Elsewhere,
Speaker 6: traffic in decent shape. They cleared the wreck north to
Speaker 6: seventy five near Kilby Chucking Ver Month fifty five kre
Speaker 6: C DE talk station.
Speaker 1: Good stuff right there, little rolling stones, Joe Strekker rolling
Speaker 1: out all the hits today five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred. As we close in on nine o'clock
Speaker 1: eight forty three, Joe, we got to hit a break
Speaker 1: here again. Two minutes. I got two minutes to a break,
Speaker 1: all right. I want to play that sound bite one
Speaker 1: more time that that Trump put out on social media.
Speaker 1: We'll do that after the break here. If you haven't
Speaker 1: heard that yet, it's pretty good. It's about two and
Speaker 1: a half minutes of political commentator, two and a half
Speaker 1: minutes of TV people, two and a half minutes of
Speaker 1: carn John Pierre, two and a half minutes of Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi and all these other Democrats.
Speaker 2: Talking about how sharp Joe Biden is. And Trump put that.
Speaker 1: Out on his social media the other day, and it
Speaker 1: is worth. I played it earlier today, but it's worth
Speaker 1: I'll listen once again. So we will do that after
Speaker 1: the break here in the meantime, when Kurt Hartman touched
Speaker 1: on the things that Trump wants to do when he
Speaker 1: gets in office and what is going to be energy policy,
Speaker 1: and Trump is going to have a vision of energy
Speaker 1: that is way different than what Joe Biden had when
Speaker 1: he promised to end fossil fuel. Trump is dismissive of
Speaker 1: the immediate climate crisis narrative that drove much of Biden's
Speaker 1: energy policy, but of course he's beholden to the.
Speaker 2: Left on that as well.
Speaker 1: He promises to establish American energy dominance and focus policy
Speaker 1: on bringing down energy costs. Trump said he would end
Speaker 1: the Biden Harris administration anti energy crusade and implement a
Speaker 1: policy of energy abundance, energy independence, and energy dominance. Said
Speaker 1: would include getting the price of gasoline down below two
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon. So Trump has laid out a lot
Speaker 1: of promises out there, and hopefully he'll be able to
Speaker 1: keep these promises. And when it comes to energy policy,
Speaker 1: I say full steam ahead, because if we are going
Speaker 1: to see a reawakening and a revitalizing of this economy
Speaker 1: on the likes of which we have not seen.
Speaker 2: In a long, long time.
Speaker 1: And we are reminded the other day of just how
Speaker 1: bad things were with the passing Agejimmy Carter. And if
Speaker 1: you remember, if you're old enough to remember the term
Speaker 1: stagflation back when Jimmy Carter was president, I think we
Speaker 1: were headed for that if we would have had another
Speaker 1: term of Biden. And thank god that is not going
Speaker 1: to happen. Let's get a quick break in here, and
Speaker 1: then we will continue on the other side, and we'll
Speaker 1: play that sound bite that that Trump posted on this
Speaker 1: social media. It is definitely something you want to hear
Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 2: At Donovan's poem.
Speaker 1: The ninth first warning by the forecast, we're looking at
Speaker 1: partly cloudy or I'm sorry, mostly cloudy skies today, a
Speaker 1: high of thirty eight, some snow expected to kick in
Speaker 1: sometime tonight, and then by this time tomorrow, perhaps an
Speaker 1: inch on the ground, maybe a little less.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna opt towards the less side on
Speaker 2: that one. I don't think it's going to be all
Speaker 2: that horrible.
Speaker 1: The other night, low twenty eight, partly cloudy on Friday,
Speaker 1: high of thirty three and then really cold for Friday
Speaker 1: into Saturday. Friday's overnight eighteen and only a twenty nine
Speaker 1: for a high on Friday, so the cold weather is
Speaker 1: coming in. It is thirty one at fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: the talk station from the ucl Traffic Center. The University

Speaker 6: the talk station, heading down the homestretch on this Thursday morning.
Speaker 6: Glad to be always my pleasure to sit in for
Speaker 6: Brian Thomas. Only one day this week, Kevin Gordon here tomorrow,
Speaker 6: then Brian Thomas back on Monday.
Speaker 2: And on Monday this week. Not Joe.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at there's a there's a picture of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden in this article. I'm looking at Donald Trump posted
Speaker 1: a video that is people put together, and it is
Speaker 1: it is very well done. It starts off with carn
Speaker 1: John Pierre. Then you're going to hear Alejandro Mayorchis in
Speaker 1: this clip. You will hear Nancy Pelosi in this clip.
Speaker 1: You will hear that the Senator Kons. Wait, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think where he's what I want to say, he's
Speaker 1: from Connecticut. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I don't know
Speaker 1: Chris Coons, but he's he's a fool. You're going to
Speaker 1: hear Chuck Schumer and other assorted Democrats talking about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: And this is the sort of thing that those of
Speaker 1: us who know better were subject to over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. And only now are we really finding
Speaker 1: out the truth of the matter. I mean, it's truth
Speaker 1: that we knew all along. But of course with the
Speaker 1: reporting that came out last week in the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal talking about how all of this is true. But again,
Speaker 1: Trump did a great job and putting this or well
Speaker 1: his people did putting this together. And give it a listen, Joe,
Speaker 1: let's hear that cut.
Speaker 8: Does the president have the stamina physically and mentally do
Speaker 8: you think to continue on even after twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: You're asking me this question.
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, he's the President of the United States.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 20: I can't even keep up with it.
Speaker 12: The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden
Speaker 12: is preparing for it, because he is sharp, intensely probing,
Speaker 12: and detail oriented and focused.
Speaker 13: I can testify because I've been working very closely with
Speaker 13: this president for the past two years. I've been knowing
Speaker 13: it for thirty years, and I'm telling you, this guy's tough,
Speaker 13: he's smart, he's on his game.
Speaker 14: Joe Biden has vision, he has knowledge, he has a
Speaker 14: strategic thinker.
Speaker 2: The President is focused.
Speaker 15: He's detail oriented, He's always thinking about the big picture, engaging.
Speaker 5: He is capable.
Speaker 16: He has an incredible record as president, and.
Speaker 17: I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at the
Speaker 17: top of his game.
Speaker 18: So he has a vision, he has knowledge, he has judgment,
Speaker 18: he has a strategic thinking.
Speaker 4: I met with the President, I don't know five or
Speaker 4: six weeks ago.
Speaker 2: But he seemed fine.
Speaker 19: To make have complete confidence in the President. I have
Speaker 19: watched him expertly guide meetings of staff and cabinet members.
Speaker 2: I could not have more.
Speaker 9: Confidence than the President.
Speaker 20: I would just tell you that I meet frequently with
Speaker 20: the President, and every single time I meet him, he
Speaker 20: is just fine.
Speaker 21: But he is again, knowledgeable, wise, incredibly sharp, incredibly probing,
Speaker 21: incredible command of the details.
Speaker 2: He is sharp, He is on top of things.
Speaker 16: There is nothing to these challenges, these suggestions that somehow
Speaker 16: he's not sharp and he's not capable.
Speaker 14: See Joe Biden of Plus, we know how attuned he
Speaker 14: oughts to the issue, and.
Speaker 17: You're going to see how smart he is and the
Speaker 17: experience he has. I say his age is an asset.
Speaker 9: Aha, He's wise.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's wise.
Speaker 17: He has wisdom, he has experiences.
Speaker 23: And his experience because of his age and his wisdom
Speaker 23: has been invaluable to this country.
Speaker 3: A lot of.
Speaker 8: Countries, people who've been in office a longer period of
Speaker 8: time are praised for their wisdom.
Speaker 24: I have seen a lot of seventy two yields not
Speaker 24: as capable as this eighty year old.
Speaker 22: It is hard for us to keep up with this president.
Speaker 25: His mental acuity is great. It's fine. It's as good
Speaker 25: as it's been over the years i've been He's fine.
Speaker 25: All this right wing propaganda that he is mental acuity
Speaker 25: is declined is wrong.
Speaker 13: And this kind of sense that he's not ready for
Speaker 13: this job is just a bucket of bs that's so
Speaker 13: deep your boots will get stuck in it.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: I think that that is one of the most enter
Speaker 1: cuts I've heard in a long long time, and it's
Speaker 1: all these Democrats and early on there you had and
Speaker 1: that was a cut.
Speaker 2: I remember that when it happened.
Speaker 1: When New York has talked about, hey, when you go
Speaker 1: into a meeting with Joe Biden, you got to be
Speaker 1: on your game. I mean, this guy is really bringing it, man,
Speaker 1: he knows the details. He's asking the program questions. You
Speaker 1: better have your act together. And how many times did
Speaker 1: this guy testify before the Congress committees of Congress and
Speaker 1: not have his act together? And you really think he
Speaker 1: went the extra mile when he had to sit in
Speaker 1: front of Joe Biden. You wonder how terrorist attacks happened
Speaker 1: like we had in New Orleans yesterday, that's because that
Speaker 1: guy was in charge of stopping it. And how did
Speaker 1: that work out? It's a fifty five. I gotta go
Speaker 1: until next time. It's been great fun sitting in for
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, Joe Strecker. Thank you for everything as always,
Speaker 1: and until we meet again. I'm Dan Carroll on fifty
Speaker 1: five krc DE Talk Station, Your.

Speaker 3: us all somewhat to think about.
