Speaker 1: You have the chemistry rite today at noon on fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC.
Speaker 2: All right, fifty five KRC, he talks station. Good morning,
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, April of fifteenth. Today is tax today. Do
Speaker 2: I really need to say any more about it? I'm
Speaker 2: sure there's many of you listening right now who know
Speaker 2: full well what day it is. Checks are being written,
Speaker 2: credit cards are being debited, money is flowing to the
Speaker 2: federal government. It's going to be fantastic. And for those
Speaker 2: of you who got a little money back this year, congratulations.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens next year, but my taxes will
Speaker 2: be on their way as soon as I'm done with
Speaker 2: this show today, we'll go home and make the final
Speaker 2: few key strokes on the keyboard and send that bad
Speaker 2: boy off into the abyss, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: See if I get audited this year. I don't think
Speaker 2: I will, but you never know. Got a letter one
Speaker 2: time from the I R. I went it, went out
Speaker 2: and opened the mailbox and you see that, see that
Speaker 2: logo on there, that I R S logo, And that
Speaker 2: feeling is if you've ever if you've ever opened your
Speaker 2: mailbox and seen a letter from the I R S,
Speaker 2: you know what that feeling is. It's it's the wave
Speaker 2: of dread that comes over you at that very moment.
Speaker 2: Is I'm not gonna say it's life changing, but it
Speaker 2: it is. It is a feeling you don't forget. Hard
Speaker 2: to describe. And I went in and I put it
Speaker 2: on the table and I stared at it for a second.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, what on earth could this be? And my
Speaker 2: wife walked in and she looked at it, and she
Speaker 2: and then we looked at each other for a little bit.
Speaker 2: You know which one of us is going to open it?
Speaker 2: She was. She was the braver of the two of us,
Speaker 2: and she's the one that that opened it up. It
Speaker 2: wasn't an audit. It was some some technicality, I don't
Speaker 2: know some it was some minor thing. But they don't
Speaker 2: tell you that on the outside of the envelope. You
Speaker 2: have to look in there and see what it is
Speaker 2: that that is it is. It is, without a doubt,
Speaker 2: one of the most unmistakable and most unpleasant feelings you
Speaker 2: can possibly have. If you get a letter from the
Speaker 2: I R. S in your mailbox, and I pray that
Speaker 2: that does not happen to anyone listening to this station
Speaker 2: this morning. And if it has, maybe you can tell
Speaker 2: me your experience. Uh five one three seven fifty five hundred,
Speaker 2: Dan Carolyn for b Thomas. I was in yesterday. I
Speaker 2: get to do today and then tomorrow and Thursday, so
Speaker 2: I am looking forward to that. Kevin Gordon, I believe,
Speaker 2: is going to be here on Friday, so that'll be big.
Speaker 2: Later on a little bit later on this morning in
Speaker 2: the seven o'clock hour, going to talk to James Bogan
Speaker 2: and he's a guy that he's a legal analyst, local attorney,
Speaker 2: and we're talking about some issues that he is and
Speaker 2: mostly the Title nine stuff with President Trump and these
Speaker 2: different states and universities and what is going. It's getting
Speaker 2: a little confusing.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: When when Title nine started, it was supposed to be
Speaker 2: a program that put women on a more equal footing
Speaker 2: with men as a related to sports. But the way
Speaker 2: it was constructed, in the way it was executed, it
Speaker 2: just left me with a really bad taste in my
Speaker 2: mouth because it penalized universities, it penalized men who were
Speaker 2: in sports, and it wasn't based on anything that was sensible.
Speaker 2: And the way it was constructed was that you had
Speaker 2: to if you were a university and you had X
Speaker 2: number of men playing sports. Let's say you had two hundred.
Speaker 2: Just for the sake of argument, let's say you had
Speaker 2: two hundred men who were involved in your sports programs
Speaker 2: at a particular university. Then if you had that many men,
Speaker 2: then you had to have I don't know, a corresponding
Speaker 2: number of women who were participating in sports. Let's say
Speaker 2: let's say that number is one hundred and fifty. Well,
Speaker 2: you could offer programs for women's sports, and there would
Speaker 2: be in excess of two hundred positions, right, volleyball, rowing, field, hockey, gymnastics, swimming,
Speaker 2: track and field, all these different sports, tennis, golf, all
Speaker 2: these different sports, volleyball, It goes on and on and on,
Speaker 2: and you could offer all these positions for women to
Speaker 2: play sports. But Title nine, the way it was constructed,
Speaker 2: was that even if you offered those positions and for
Speaker 2: whatever reason, you couldn't get enough women to fulfill those positions, well,
Speaker 2: then you had to reduce the number of men who
Speaker 2: were involved in sports. And over the years, how many
Speaker 2: men's programs suffered because of that and disappear. How many
Speaker 2: colleges over the years lost men's golf programs men's swimming programs,
Speaker 2: men's wrestling programs, and it goes on and on and on.
Speaker 2: So Title nine did some good things for women. I
Speaker 2: don't think there's any question about that. But you've got,
Speaker 2: you know, an entire society now, an entire class of
Speaker 2: people who looked at Title nine and are willing to
Speaker 2: throw all that away, everything good that Title nine did
Speaker 2: on you know, all on the alter of wokeness or
Speaker 2: political correctness or a dehi transgenderism, all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 2: just saying that I would throw it all the way.
Speaker 2: So now we have a course of the specter of men,
Speaker 2: grown men who want to pretend to be women and
Speaker 2: want to play in women's sports. The Trump administration has
Speaker 2: said no to that, and there are still a few
Speaker 2: places that want to openly defy Trump. And this is
Speaker 2: a subject that James Bogan and I have talked about
Speaker 2: many different times, and he'll be here to give us
Speaker 2: an update on all of that. Cheryl Tumley will be
Speaker 2: here from the Washington Times. She is the online opinion
Speaker 2: editor and just has great insight into all things that
Speaker 2: are happening political and otherwise. And then Steve Gorham is
Speaker 2: going to be here. He of the Climate Science Institute,
Speaker 2: and Steve Gorham is just fantastic on issues of environmentalism
Speaker 2: and all the rest of it. So totally entertaining. Always
Speaker 2: love having that guy on, and so that's going to
Speaker 2: be in the eight o'clock hours. So until then, it's
Speaker 2: just me and you and all kinds of different things.
Speaker 2: You know. Here we are now in the the wake,
Speaker 2: Sean McMahon, were you able to observe the historic space
Speaker 2: flight yesterday? I did not catch that six women in
Speaker 2: the Blue Origin. Come on, what's wrong with you? We
Speaker 2: we live in historic times. Six women were able to
Speaker 2: board a spaceship rocket to outer space and return to
Speaker 2: Earth in the span of eleven minutes. A historic, a
Speaker 2: historic all women mission, and somehow you and I are
Speaker 2: better off for it. This morning we have audio from
Speaker 2: inside the space capsule. The the the amount of that
Speaker 2: CBS was exhibiting yesterday was really off the charts, and
Speaker 2: I've got some some audio of that that we will
Speaker 2: roll a little bit later on. And look, I am
Speaker 2: not I am not looking askance at the danger that
Speaker 2: is associated with climbing on border rocket, rocketing up to
Speaker 2: the edge or the I guess actually into outer space.
Speaker 2: I don't know the technicality of it, but anytime you
Speaker 2: do that, there is an inherent danger that goes along
Speaker 2: with it. I am not belittling that or looking askance
Speaker 2: at that in any way, shape or form. What I
Speaker 2: am questioning, though, is this notion that somehow this was
Speaker 2: a historically significant moment of six women Katy Perry, Gail King.
Speaker 2: I guess one of these women is the fiance of
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos. I don't know who the other ones are,
Speaker 2: that somehow there's something significant and historic and memorable that
Speaker 2: these six women were on board that spacecraft for a
Speaker 2: total of eleven minutes. It takes most of us longer
Speaker 2: to drive to work than it did for this space
Speaker 2: flight to go up and come back down. I've sat
Speaker 2: in fast food drive through lines that take longer than
Speaker 2: eleven minutes. I'm sure most of you can relate something
Speaker 2: that takes longer than eleven minutes to do in your
Speaker 2: life almost every single day. But somehow there are those
Speaker 2: who are going to be telling us that this space
Speaker 2: flight yesterday with these women who went up in the
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos rocket was a significant and important event. I
Speaker 2: will wait to see how that manifests itself, and we'll
Speaker 2: have some more thoughts on that as the show goes along.
Speaker 2: Today it is five sixteen. We've got to get to
Speaker 2: a little break here, and I want to thank you
Speaker 2: for tuning in and listening the great Brian Thomas audience
Speaker 2: as we roll on till nine o'clock this morning on
Speaker 2: fifty five krc the talk station.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Do you have a master fifty five KRCD talk station.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll hanging out for Brian Thomas. Tax Day today
Speaker 2: and the Internal Revenue Service started accepting tax returns on
Speaker 2: January twenty seventh. According to NBC NBC News, there are
Speaker 2: some states that you don't have to turn your taxes
Speaker 2: in today because of natural disasters and other things like that.
Speaker 2: According to the IRS, the automatic May first, twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five deadline for twenty twenty four tax returns. This says
Speaker 2: May first, Okay, yeah, it's automatic, So it goes to
Speaker 2: this is April fifteenth, then if you have until May
Speaker 2: first in nine states that were affected by FEMA disaster
Speaker 2: declarations from twenty twenty four, so this includes taxpayers from
Speaker 2: the entire state of Alabama, all of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina,
Speaker 2: and South Carolina. The extended deadline remains. The extended deadline
Speaker 2: for the remaining four states applied only two specific areas,
Speaker 2: including the city and borough of Juneo in Alaska. The
Speaker 2: other affected areas are Chavez County, New Mexico, several counties
Speaker 2: in Tennessee and Virginia. The states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Speaker 2: North Carolina, South Carolina. Several counties in Tennessee and Virginia
Speaker 2: had their tax deadlines extended to May first due to
Speaker 2: devastation calls by Hurricane Helene. According to the IRS. In
Speaker 2: October of twenty four, it was announced that individuals and
Speaker 2: businesses in the Juno area of Alaska would have until
Speaker 2: May first to file their taxes because of flooding that
Speaker 2: began in August of twenty four. In addition to the
Speaker 2: nited states who had automatic deadline extensions, other states have
Speaker 2: later deadlines for individuals and businesses their taxpayers. In Los
Speaker 2: Angeles County, California, deadline has been extended to October fifteenth
Speaker 2: because of the wildfires. The fires were contained after more
Speaker 2: than three weeks, causing twenty nine deaths and destroying tens
Speaker 2: of thousands of acres. I gotta look at an update
Speaker 2: on I haven't looked at an update on that in
Speaker 2: a while, but I did want a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: ago and a couple as of a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: they were talking about the I found a story that
Speaker 2: was looking at the permits that had been issued in
Speaker 2: California so people could rebuild their homes, and as of
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, there had been a total
Speaker 2: of four permits issued, four for people who are looking
Speaker 2: to rebuild four. I mean the bureaucracy and the run
Speaker 2: around and the red tape in Los Angeles is just astonishing.
Speaker 2: I saw a video there was the mayor of Los
Speaker 2: Angeles did this video talking about how if you want
Speaker 2: to come in and get a permit and do all
Speaker 2: the paperwork required to rebuild your home after it was
Speaker 2: destroyed by the wildfires, you can come to the Wonderful Day.
Speaker 2: They set up a one stop government shop. You can
Speaker 2: go in there and bring your paperwork or bring whatever
Speaker 2: you have, and you can visit. I think she said,
Speaker 2: there's fifteen different government agencies all in this one location
Speaker 2: you give. We have fifteen different government agencies, and you
Speaker 2: can walk around and get your approvals from all these
Speaker 2: different agencies. Can you imagine that? Maybee like going to
Speaker 2: the convention center downtown and you want to get a
Speaker 2: permit to one clean up your property and two start
Speaker 2: to rebuild. Come on down one stop shopping. Very convenient
Speaker 2: and in here you will find people working very hard
Speaker 2: from fifteen different And this was just for the city
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles. Never mind the county or the state stuff.
Speaker 2: We've got fifteen different government agencies. Get all your approvals
Speaker 2: in one spot. Isn't that great? Can you imagine that?
Speaker 2: What kind of day would that be? Trapes in around?
Speaker 2: Oh no, you were supposed to go to that agency first,
Speaker 2: come back later, Go see those folks over there first,
Speaker 2: then come back to me, on and on and on,
Speaker 2: fifteen different government agencies. Some taxpayers in Kentucky have had
Speaker 2: their deadlines extended to November three because of the severe
Speaker 2: storms that rolled through in February. This is according to
Speaker 2: the IRS, So check your location if you think you
Speaker 2: might be affected by that. Wise get those taxes in
Speaker 2: today five twenty five at fifty five KRC, the talk
Speaker 2: station fifty five KRC. When your sump pump is no longer.
Speaker 2: Summer fifty five KRCD talk station Dan Carroll hanging out
Speaker 2: for Brian Thomas. The video has come out of the
Speaker 2: shooting on Short Vine from over the weekend. Fox nineteen
Speaker 2: put it like this. New video shows the moments a
Speaker 2: twenty five year old father of two was shot and
Speaker 2: killed over the weekend in Coryville. Kyle Merrick, twenty five,
Speaker 2: shot at East University Avenue Avenue and Short Vine around
Speaker 2: ten pm April twelve, according to Cincinnati Police. Video shows
Speaker 2: Merrick standing outside a liquor store, and you look at
Speaker 2: the video, he's standing there looking at his cell phone,
Speaker 2: apparently minding his own business. The video, two mass people
Speaker 2: are seen near Merrick. One of the mass people walks
Speaker 2: up to him, pulls a gun, pulls out a gun
Speaker 2: and sticks it right in his midsection. That gunman is
Speaker 2: fifteen years old, and information started coming out yesterday that
Speaker 2: this fifteen year old has been in the Hamilton County
Speaker 2: Juvenile court system on what could be as many as
Speaker 2: twenty one felonies. Twenty one felonies, and yet this kid
Speaker 2: was out on the street and able to get his
Speaker 2: hands on a gun. The video I've seen it a
Speaker 2: few times and you've probably seen it as well. Walks
Speaker 2: up to the victim, sticks a gun in his midsection.
Speaker 2: Merrick starts running away down the street. It turned out
Speaker 2: he also was armed. The fifteen year old runs after him,
Speaker 2: gun in hand. Mirrick pulls his own weapon, turns and shoots.
Speaker 2: Apparently misses or I don't know if he missed or not.
Speaker 2: I think he may have hit the kid, but the
Speaker 2: fifteen year old shot back and Mirrick was fatally wounded.
Speaker 2: His family wants the fifteen year old to be charged
Speaker 2: as an adult, but we may be looking at and
Speaker 2: I was texting with Ken Kober yesterday afternoon about this
Speaker 2: information that was coming out and trying to check on
Speaker 2: the on how valid this information is. Peers that it
Speaker 2: may very well be valid that this kid, fifteen years old,
Speaker 2: has had all these contacts with the juvenile system here
Speaker 2: in Hamilton County, but yet is able to be out
Speaker 2: on the streets. And so we'll see what develops on
Speaker 2: this today and Ken Kober is going to be here
Speaker 2: either Thursday or Friday, and we'll get the very latest
Speaker 2: on that. The family of Merrick is hoping the fifteen
Speaker 2: year old will be tried as an adult. This kid
Speaker 2: is fifteen years old, said Kyle Merrick's dad. Bryant needs
Speaker 2: to be charged as an adult. He was sitting outside
Speaker 2: the liquor store as an adult. He had a gun
Speaker 2: as an adult. He should be charged as an adult
Speaker 2: and we will see what happens. As you know, there's
Speaker 2: here in Hamilton County, there's not not a lot of
Speaker 2: reasons to have faith in our juvenile court judges that
Speaker 2: they will take this seriously or they will do anything
Speaker 2: to step up and do what needs to be done
Speaker 2: to protect the community. In any way, here's another teenager
Speaker 2: who yesterday admitted to the shooting that took place. This
Speaker 2: was near again, another one near the campus of the
Speaker 2: University of Cincinnati last March. Justin Dugan seventeen years old
Speaker 2: when he shot and killed twenty one year old Benjamin Addison.
Speaker 2: Dugan took a plea deal would that would send him
Speaker 2: the prison for twenty one years, and we miss him
Speaker 2: every second of every day, said Benjamin Addison's father. Benjamin
Speaker 2: was our world. Our son will never come back, said
Speaker 2: his mother. After our of deliberation, prosecutors and defense reaching
Speaker 2: in a plea agreement twenty one years in prison. Before
Speaker 2: Dugan was escorted out of the courtroom, he addressed the
Speaker 2: UC students' parents for the first time. I'll never be
Speaker 2: able to take back what I did, Dugan said, truly,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, especially to the good people over there. Even
Speaker 2: if he had gotten what he wanted, as far as
Speaker 2: judgment goes in the courts, it won't stop the nightmare
Speaker 2: because he's not here, said said the family of the victim.
Speaker 2: Benjamin Addison would have been in his final weeks of
Speaker 2: classes at U see. Instead his parents are Morning and
Speaker 2: Future where that will not happen. He'd be graduating from UC,
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of years, getting married, Joseph Addison said,
Speaker 2: then maybe three or four years from now, having some babies,
Speaker 2: and just hor horrible for that family. So this seventeen
Speaker 2: year old goes away for twenty one years. So two
Speaker 2: instances right there of innocent victims being taken away at
Speaker 2: the hands of juveniles, and you know, the juvenile court system,
Speaker 2: the juvenile court judges here in Hamilton County act as
Speaker 2: if there's little or nothing they can do about it.
Speaker 2: Five thirty five on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: It's the Marketers Report today fifty five KRC the talk station,
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, A little more local news
Speaker 2: right now? What happened to this one? I just had
Speaker 2: it from me? Hold on one second, Hold on? What
Speaker 2: do I do with this? Warren County? According to Fox
Speaker 2: nineteen Turtle Creek Township, one person dead following ahead on
Speaker 2: crash involving a semi Monday in Turtle Creek Township. David
Speaker 2: will sixty nine, Franklin, Ohio died at the scene and
Speaker 2: the wreck on State Route seven forty one, according to
Speaker 2: the State Highway Patrol and the troopers say that the
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Kenworth was going north on seven forty one
Speaker 2: when the driver went off the road, over correcting and
Speaker 2: then into the path of Willis and his two thousand
Speaker 2: and Ford two thousand and one Ford f one fifty.
Speaker 2: The driver of the semi taken to the hospital is
Speaker 2: expected to be okay. In Brown County youth football program
Speaker 2: facing an uncertain future. It's president former president accused of
Speaker 2: stealing thousands of dollars from it. How many times do
Speaker 2: we see stories like this? You've got a youth sports league,
Speaker 2: whether it's football or softball, or any you named the sport.
Speaker 2: How many times do we see this where you have
Speaker 2: individuals who are in charge of handling the money for
Speaker 2: these youth football or youth sports leagues and they wind
Speaker 2: up stealing the money and are embezzling the money or
Speaker 2: doing things with it they shouldn't be doing. It's a
Speaker 2: nonprofit organization. We just sit We just kind of set
Speaker 2: it up because we didn't have a program for our
Speaker 2: school out there, said Jesse Parker, Southern Ohio Warriors football president.
Speaker 2: The organization used to be known as a Southern Buckeye
Speaker 2: Youth Football Program, gives kids as young as kindergarten up
Speaker 2: through high school a chance to put on a helmet
Speaker 2: and take to the field. He was going to take
Speaker 2: care of the paperwork side. I was going to take
Speaker 2: care of the boots on the ground, like the labor
Speaker 2: and the work, said Parker. They set up a bank
Speaker 2: account I Rube was supposed to get him a debit card.
Speaker 2: Months went by, Partner said that never happened. Ended up
Speaker 2: going to the bank to get access to the account.
Speaker 2: There was supposed to be eleven five hundred dollars in
Speaker 2: there somewhere and he got there there was only eleven hundred.
Speaker 2: So guy apparently at least is accused of stealing about
Speaker 2: ten grand ten thousand dollars and and you screw these
Speaker 2: kids over in the process. That is a you know,
Speaker 2: of course, if you know, innocent until found guilty. But
Speaker 2: if all this is true, I mean that really that's
Speaker 2: that's a that's a certain level of depravity, isn't not.
Speaker 2: You got a youth sports program. Money is supposed to
Speaker 2: help the kids, and really it's not that much money,
Speaker 2: and you can face I would imagine you can face
Speaker 2: some very serious consequence for that. But even with a
Speaker 2: little bit of money that you have access to, and
Speaker 2: you wind up using it for your own purposes and
Speaker 2: a lot of families and kids get screwed over in
Speaker 2: the process. That's terrible. Hamilton County Church, been around for
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty two years, is going to have
Speaker 2: its last day of service in May. Located at the
Speaker 2: corner of Wayne and Gain Street in Elizabethtown of the
Speaker 2: Elizabethtown United Methodist Church, faint red brick building with a
Speaker 2: concrete walkway. Church has been around since eighteen oh three
Speaker 2: remains the cornerstone of the community. We are deeply grateful
Speaker 2: for the two and twenty two years of ministry and
Speaker 2: the service to church has provided, said Pastor Glenn Lash
Speaker 2: of the Elizabethtown United Methodist Church. It's with heavy hearts
Speaker 2: that we make this decision. We know the spirit of
Speaker 2: the church will live on in the lives of the
Speaker 2: thoseho been part of it. Final services everyone's invited well Sunday,
Speaker 2: May eighteenth, and that's the end of that church. So
Speaker 2: God blessed them, and good luck to them, and good
Speaker 2: luck to that community. The Elizabethtown the United Methodist Church.
Speaker 2: Two and twenty two years, that's a pretty good run.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRS DE Talk.
Speaker 5: Station fifty five KRC.
Speaker 2: You look back at our family history and see how
Speaker 2: five point fifty on this Monday morning, Good morning, you're
Speaker 2: listening to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. I'm Dan Carroll,
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas taking the week off, Joe Strucker taking the
Speaker 2: week off as well. Great piece. Andrea Whidberg is just
Speaker 2: a terrific writer over an American thinker, and she's been
Speaker 2: taking a look at what's happening with Harvard and the
Speaker 2: taxpayer money that is being withheld from Harvard, and Andrea writes,
Speaker 2: at last count Harvard's endowment was a little above fifty
Speaker 2: three billion dollars. The Harvard endowment fifty three billion dollars.
Speaker 2: Looking at the GDP of the world's countries, that means
Speaker 2: Harvard is richer than almost one hundred nations around the world. Nevertheless,
Speaker 2: last year, Harvard received six hundred eighty six million dollars
Speaker 2: from American taxpayers. Six hundred eighty six million dollars to
Speaker 2: Harvard from you and me and Sean McMahon, Shawn McMann.
Speaker 2: You pay taxes, don't you? I do. He've been so
Speaker 2: Sean McMahon got his share of taxes in there went
Speaker 2: to Harvard. That's not even counting the benefits flowing in
Speaker 2: the heart from federally guaranteed student loans. In return for
Speaker 2: that money, all Donald Trump is asking from Harvard is
Speaker 2: that Harvard abide by the Civil Rights Act in terms
Speaker 2: of its Jewish students who have been on the receiving
Speaker 2: end of vile and violent campus wide discrimination, and allow
Speaker 2: the federal government to make sure that Harvard is properly
Speaker 2: accounting for that over half billion dollars in taxpayer money
Speaker 2: that it receives every year. So the Trump you know,
Speaker 2: the Donald Trumpster, is saying, look, Harvard, do you want
Speaker 2: to keep getting this six hundred and eighty six million,
Speaker 2: watch out for the Jewish students and give us a
Speaker 2: little accounting. Tell us what you're doing with all that money.
Speaker 2: To that, Harvard is saying, kna babina, insisting that it
Speaker 2: has the right to unfettered use of tax payer money.
Speaker 2: Harvard's response to the Trump administration and the administration's demands
Speaker 2: is that it stop violating the law, and that came
Speaker 2: via a letter from its lawyers. The letter doesn't explicitly
Speaker 2: address the audit. Instead, it focuses entirely on the contention
Speaker 2: that Harvard is violating Jewish students civil rights, and the
Speaker 2: first part of the letter, Harvard insists that it has
Speaker 2: done everything possible and necessary to protect Jewish students and
Speaker 2: claims that the campus is way better for Jews than
Speaker 2: it was a year ago. Widburg says she cannot address
Speaker 2: that claim because she hasn't followed closely what's been going
Speaker 2: on at Harvard for the past year. But what she
Speaker 2: can address is the really stunning argument that Harvard makes
Speaker 2: about federal moneys. It receives that those of us lowly
Speaker 2: taxpayers tend to believe that free speech is an inherent
Speaker 2: right and that the government cannot take it from us. However,
Speaker 2: we also believe that the government doesn't have to fund
Speaker 2: our speech instead, or indeed, that we believe that once
Speaker 2: we start taking money from someone, an employer, a government relative,
Speaker 2: then that person or entity begins to have us say
Speaker 2: in how we use the money, including what we say
Speaker 2: while we are on that person's dime. If we want
Speaker 2: unfettered speech, then we need to say no to the money.
Speaker 2: But again that's not Harvard's view. Instead, the Harvard view
Speaker 2: is that the American taxpayer must fund Harvard's First Amendment rights,
Speaker 2: and that withdrawing the funding is tantamount to censorship. It
Speaker 2: is unfortunate, then, that your letter disregards Harvard's efforts and
Speaker 2: instead presents demands that, in contravention of the First Amendment,
Speaker 2: invade university freedom long recognized by the Supreme Court. So, Harvard,
Speaker 2: if you look at this, they want to have their
Speaker 2: cake and eat it too. They want to take they
Speaker 2: want to take all this government money and not have
Speaker 2: to account for any of it. And now they're hiding
Speaker 2: behind the First Amendment. And we've seen story after story
Speaker 2: about how Jewish students on these campuses feel threatened, can't
Speaker 2: go to class, are blocked at every turn. And Harvard
Speaker 2: is putting all this under the First Amendment, saying you
Speaker 2: don't have any right to stop sending us taxpayer dollars,
Speaker 2: and all the while they've got fifty three billion in
Speaker 2: the tank or in the bank. I should say, I
Speaker 2: don't think so, and I don't think Harvard's going to
Speaker 2: win this one. So we'll see what happens. Think about that,
Speaker 2: they've got fifty three billion, and they want even more
Speaker 2: from all of us, to taxpayers, as if they're entitled
Speaker 2: to it. Five point fifty five Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 2: fifty five kr S he talks station fifty five KRC,
Speaker 2: the talk station six h five on this Tuesday morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Carroll and for Brian Thomas, got to get
Speaker 2: those taxes in Today. Today is it. Today is the
Speaker 2: deadline unless you've lived in one of the places where
Speaker 2: the IRS has extended the deadlines, if you've been hit
Speaker 2: by a natural disaster or something like that. But for
Speaker 2: most of us, today is the day. Well, it's a
Speaker 2: very historic. Guess, yesterday was a very historic day. I
Speaker 2: missed it. I didn't Sean McMahon, did you get to
Speaker 2: see any of this this Blue Origin rocket? Didn't watch
Speaker 2: a second? Think you didn't see one second of it?
Speaker 2: I mean it only lasted eleven eleven mites. And again,
Speaker 2: I am not belittling the dangerous of spaceflight in any way,
Speaker 2: shape or form. Is it is a very dangerous undertaking.
Speaker 2: But we had the six women on the Blue Origin.
Speaker 2: You got Lauren Sanchez. Let's see who are let me
Speaker 2: see if I can Okay, we got okay, Katy Perry,
Speaker 2: she's a pop star, she's a singer. Then got Gail King,
Speaker 2: who is Oprah's buddy, who's a morning show host on CBS.
Speaker 2: Then you got Aisha bo who was apparently a NASA
Speaker 2: rocket scientist, Amanda Wynn who was a civil rights active,
Speaker 2: Carrie Anne Flynn who is a film producer, and then
Speaker 2: Lauren Sanchez, who is apparently a journalist. I guess Sanchez
Speaker 2: is the fiance of Jeff Bezos. And so she got
Speaker 2: the six women together and up into space they went,
Speaker 2: and CBS News was making a big you know, with
Speaker 2: Gail King going along for the ride. CBS News was
Speaker 2: making a big deal about this. Oprah was out there.
Speaker 2: You know, she's best buddy for the Oprah and the
Speaker 2: virtue signaling and the wokeness and the political correctness was
Speaker 2: just off the charts. They were doing an interview with
Speaker 2: the doctor ma je Emison, who was the first black
Speaker 2: woman in space. And I've got a little cut of this,
Speaker 2: this interview they were doing, and the one of the
Speaker 2: co hosts of the CBS Morning News is of lad
Speaker 2: do others and even he wants, you know, trying to
Speaker 2: be as woke as possible, but you know, in close
Speaker 2: proximity to doctor Maye Jamison wound up stepping in it.
Speaker 2: And here's what that sounded like. And Sean McMahon, if
Speaker 2: we could please let's hear cut number four.
Speaker 6: Dareth will be here, but we might not see there's yep,
Speaker 6: Well he doesn't no longer has an atmosphere that supports
Speaker 6: our life form.
Speaker 2: So' stop right there for a second. So there's doctor
Speaker 2: Mae Jemison saying that the Earth no longer has an
Speaker 2: atmosphere that supports our life form? Is that right? I
Speaker 2: may ask our buddy Steve gorm about that a little
Speaker 2: bit later, on this morning. Very strange that the Earth
Speaker 2: no longer has an atmosphere that supports our life form.
Speaker 2: I think we're all still here today, and I think
Speaker 2: we're all going to be here long after you and
Speaker 2: I and everyone listening to me right now are long gone.
Speaker 2: And that includes Mae Jemison and all the women who
Speaker 2: wrote up on the Blue Origin or Blood the Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Blue Origin rocket no longer supports our life form.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure she's right about that, all right, keep.
Speaker 5: Going, it supports our life form.
Speaker 6: So I think that perspective was really important, really, because
Speaker 6: we get so human centric that we forget that we're
Speaker 6: part of this greater universe.
Speaker 7: So one of the things we talked about yesterday when
Speaker 7: we were preparing to speak with you live on the air
Speaker 7: is the importance of space travel and the importance of
Speaker 7: the work that astronauts do when they are in space.
Speaker 7: You heard Amanda Wynn tell me in the interview that
Speaker 7: she's conducting science experiments on this voyage, which I don't
Speaker 7: think a lot of people knew.
Speaker 2: They thought it was just six women going up into
Speaker 2: space science. Hold on, hold on, right there, So a
Speaker 2: Vlad is talking about they're conducting science experiments on this voyage.
Speaker 2: This eleven minute long voyage, I think about maybe just
Speaker 2: a little over a minute of it is actually in waitlessness.
Speaker 2: How many science experiments can you conduct? And look, I'm
Speaker 2: not a scientist. Maybe someone listening can tell me how
Speaker 2: many science experiments can you conduct in the span of
Speaker 2: eleven minutes. I don't know, but apparently there were some
Speaker 2: science experiment and we've got some some audio from inside
Speaker 2: the capsule, and you can judge for yourself. But let's
Speaker 2: finish this interview. Go ahead. Shohn's six women. Well, that's
Speaker 2: what I mean. That women's right, right, right, right.
Speaker 7: But he's speaking to some of the ras that are
Speaker 7: out there that I to correct with this interview, and
Speaker 7: I'm glad that you're here to help me correct that narrative.
Speaker 7: So explain to our audience why even a trip like
Speaker 7: this one, all the trips that.
Speaker 8: We take into space benefit mankind, So it benefits humankind.
Speaker 8: And I'm going to keep correcting the man made and
Speaker 8: the man missions, because this is exactly what this mission
Speaker 8: is about, is expanding the perspective of who does space?
Speaker 5: Why is space important?
Speaker 6: When you just look at it, when you go up,
Speaker 6: you get a perspective on this world that you can't
Speaker 6: get from looking down on the ground, and you can
Speaker 6: get it much faster.
Speaker 2: This mission is important for expanding the understanding of who
Speaker 2: does space? Really, that's what this mission was about, expanding
Speaker 2: the perspective of who does space. We've sent dogs in
Speaker 2: the space, we sent monkeys into space. The first woman
Speaker 2: who went into space, sean, do you know who that was?
Speaker 2: When the first woman went into space? Couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2: June sixth, nineteen sixty three, cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova went up
Speaker 2: on the Vostok six, a Soviet cosmonaut forty eight orbits
Speaker 2: and seventy one hours. That was the first woman into space. Look,
Speaker 2: these women went up, and God bless them, it was
Speaker 2: a dangerous thing. There's all kinds of things that can
Speaker 2: whenever you do anything like this, there's all kinds of
Speaker 2: things that can go wrong. But spare me this notion
Speaker 2: that this was historic and somehow these six women floating
Speaker 2: around the capsule for about a minute or so is
Speaker 2: going to span my horizons or expand my perspective or
Speaker 2: my understanding of space or space travel. And somehow this
Speaker 2: is going to accrue to the larger benefit of us
Speaker 2: as and for God's sake, we can no longer say mankind,
Speaker 2: but humankind isn't mankind and all encompassing term that refers
Speaker 2: to everyone on this planet. Not good enough, Not good
Speaker 2: enough for the ultra woke astronaut, Doctor maeje Emison going
Speaker 2: to continue to correct a little slight correction there for
Speaker 2: the host of MSNBC. So here's the little audio of
Speaker 2: the women. And this is this audio. This video actually
Speaker 2: starts from the moment that they get into witlessness. They
Speaker 2: unstrap from their seats and they're starting to float around
Speaker 2: the capsule, and you'll hear the conversation. I really wasn't
Speaker 2: able to pick up on the part where the science
Speaker 2: experiments were being carried out, But you listen for yourself,
Speaker 2: and you tell me and Sean, let's hear cut number five.
Speaker 2: Please got it?
Speaker 6: One, two, three.
Speaker 5: TMR Tamir's in space.
Speaker 6: It's okay, Leslan up there.
Speaker 5: Flynn, I got you, I got youa Flynn gotcha. Oh
Speaker 5: proud of you.
Speaker 6: Oh the moon, you guys, I will have to tell you.
Speaker 5: Look at the moon.
Speaker 6: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Wow, look at the blue line.
Speaker 6: My god, oh my god. Okay, how it's time to.
Speaker 7: Pick out.
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 6: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: So there you go that, uh, that right there, that
Speaker 2: is a moment for all of history, for all of
Speaker 2: humankind to be proud of me. That the advancement that
Speaker 2: I feel in in in humankind today is very profound
Speaker 2: based on that. I'm not sure where the where the
Speaker 2: experiments were taking place. There At one point they were
Speaker 2: passing around the little a little miniature stuffed animal and
Speaker 2: holding that up for the camera to see. Katy Perry
Speaker 2: had a little flower in her hand and then uh,
Speaker 2: like a little cardboard butterfly that she was able to,
Speaker 2: you know, make weightless for a few moments. So there
Speaker 2: you go. Today we are all better off because of
Speaker 2: what those women did in space. And if you weren't
Speaker 2: able to see it yesterday, well I'm glad I was
Speaker 2: able to provide that coverage for you here on fifty
Speaker 2: five krc DE Talk Station fifty.
Speaker 5: Five KRC trustin will knows that we'll all.
Speaker 2: Vastation fifty five krc DE talk Station. I was reading
Speaker 2: a little bit more about Valentina Terraskova, the first woman
Speaker 2: to travel into space on June sixteenth, nineteen sixty three.
Speaker 2: Terra Skova was born to a peasant family in nineteen
Speaker 2: thirty seven. Began work at a textile factory when she
Speaker 2: was eighteen. When she was twenty two, she made her
Speaker 2: first parachute jump with a local aba club. Her enthusiasm
Speaker 2: for skydiving brought her to the attention of the Soviet
Speaker 2: space program, which sought to put a woman in space
Speaker 2: in the early nineteen sixties. So, you know, there's so
Speaker 2: many people here in the United States who want to
Speaker 2: pat themselves on the back for being forward thinking and
Speaker 2: inclusive and all that. But here's the Soviets in the
Speaker 2: nineteen sixties had the idea to put women in space.
Speaker 2: They wanted to do this mainly because you know, the
Speaker 2: early nineteen sixties, that's when the space race was on
Speaker 2: and the Soviets were kicking our butts and they wanted
Speaker 2: to achieve another first before the United States, and so
Speaker 2: they wanted to put a woman up there. Tereshkova, who
Speaker 2: was an accomplished parachutist, was well equipped to handle one
Speaker 2: of the most challenging procedures of a Vostok spaceflight. I
Speaker 2: guess they really hadn't figured out how to return their
Speaker 2: space capsules to Earth, and I guess with Russia having
Speaker 2: so little access to the open oceans, they have and
Speaker 2: I think they still do today. They land their spaceships
Speaker 2: on the ground, just like this one did yesterday. But
Speaker 2: one of the most challenging procedures of the Vostok spaceflight
Speaker 2: is a mandatory ejection from the capsule at about twenty
Speaker 2: thousand feet. So you come in for re entry, you're
Speaker 2: plummeting into the atmosphere. You get to about twenty thousand
Speaker 2: feet and you have to jump out. That's how you
Speaker 2: do it. That's how you do it in the Russia.
Speaker 2: That's a Svitia union twenty thousand feet. You open the
Speaker 2: capsule and you jump out, pulled the pool the court
Speaker 2: of the pedisutes. So that's what this gal had to do.
Speaker 2: So in nineteen sixty three, Terraskova was chosen to take
Speaker 2: part in the second dual flight in the Vostok program,
Speaker 2: so it involved two spacecraft. The Vostok five launched on
Speaker 2: June fourteenth, nineteen sixty three, and Valerie Baikovski was the
Speaker 2: astronaut on board that one. So he went up, he's
Speaker 2: orbiting the Earth and Terraskova launches two days later. The
Speaker 2: two spacecraft had different orbits, but at one point came
Speaker 2: within three miles of each other, and so that allowed
Speaker 2: for a brief exchange of communications. Terraskova spacecraft was guided
Speaker 2: by automatic controls. She never took manual control. Just after
Speaker 2: three days in space again seventy one orbits, three days
Speaker 2: in space, she re entered the atmosphere and then parachuted
Speaker 2: to Earth, jumping out at twenty thousand feet. That was
Speaker 2: a his historic space flight. For that, Teryskober received the
Speaker 2: Order of Lenin Hero of the Soviet Union award. In
Speaker 2: November of sixty three, she married a fellow cosmonaut, reportedly
Speaker 2: under pressure from the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who wanted
Speaker 2: to take full advantage of the propaganda advantages of putting
Speaker 2: those two together. The couple made goodwill trips abroad, had
Speaker 2: a daughter. Separated in nineteen sixty six, Terashova became a
Speaker 2: member of the Supreme Soviet National Parliament, served as a
Speaker 2: Soviet representative to numerous international women's organizations. Never entered space again,
Speaker 2: and hers was the last space flight by a female
Speaker 2: cosmonaut until the nineteen eighties. So you talk about someone
Speaker 2: who was way ahead of the curve, way ahead of
Speaker 2: her time, Valentina Terroskober someon. I don't know if there's
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to look and see if there's a
Speaker 2: documentary or a movie about about this woman. I think
Speaker 2: I think that would be a most interesting movie. Forty
Speaker 2: eight orbits seventy one hours. And I did not know
Speaker 2: that until just today that when upon returning to Earth,
Speaker 2: you had to eject from the capsule, the Vostok capsule
Speaker 2: and parachute twenty thousand feet. Imagine that. How about that,
Speaker 2: Sean McMahon, anything sound dangerous about that? Sounds perfectly fine
Speaker 2: to me, perfectly fine. Five one three seven four nine,
Speaker 2: seven thousand and one eight. I'll give them the wrong number.
Speaker 2: Five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred if
Speaker 2: you want to get on board. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 2: fifty five KRCV.
Speaker 9: Talks Days, fifty five krc Waking up on the fifty
Speaker 9: five krc DE talk station six point thirty on this
Speaker 9: Tuesday morning.
Speaker 2: Got to get those taxes in today. Today is the day.
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, I love women. I love women.
Speaker 2: I love all the stuff they can do. I think
Speaker 2: women are great, but you got to spare me all this,
Speaker 2: you know, this historical nonsense that somehow this space flight
Speaker 2: yesterday was was significant. I'm glad. I'm glad they did it.
Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with them doing it, but
Speaker 2: you know, they don't try to apply me with how
Speaker 2: significant and how the mankind is going to benefit from
Speaker 2: those women going up in space. I'm glad they did it.
Speaker 2: I think this is a bigger achievement. A female soldier
Speaker 2: becomes the first woman to compete in the Army Ranger
Speaker 2: contest from the Associated Press. Female Army Ranger for the
Speaker 2: first time competed in the annual Best Ranger competition and
Speaker 2: her two soldier team team finished the grueling three day
Speaker 2: event over the weekend came in fourteenth overall. First Lieutenant
Speaker 2: Gabrielle White and her teammate, Captain Seth del Entree were
Speaker 2: among sixteen teams that made it through the final events.
Speaker 2: Ranger teams compete for accolades as the best of the
Speaker 2: elite military force. Altogether, fifty two teams competed. All the
Speaker 2: others were made up of only male soldiers. The two
Speaker 2: rangers on the winning team were both members of the
Speaker 2: seventy fifth Ranger Regiment, White and del Entree were based
Speaker 2: at the are based at the Army Center of Excellence
Speaker 2: in Fort Benning, Georgia. Female soldiers were not allowed to
Speaker 2: be Army Rangers until twenty fifteen, when the Army opened
Speaker 2: Ranger School to women. In August of twenty fifteen, two
Speaker 2: female soldiers completed Armed Ranger course for the first time.
Speaker 2: Later that year, the Defense Department opened combat jobs to
Speaker 2: all women. Petexseth may have some different views on this.
Speaker 2: According to the competition, soldiers must move more than sixty
Speaker 2: miles during the three days with little rest. It includes
Speaker 2: a helicopter mission, physical fitness test, land navigation, weapons qualification,
Speaker 2: obstacle course, and other tests. While in previous years the
Speaker 2: Army would likely have noticed the historic first in a
Speaker 2: story or a press release, that didn't happen this time.
Speaker 2: Under the President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary of Pete Hegseth,
Speaker 2: the Department has banned anything that touts diversity, equity and inclusion. Well,
Speaker 2: you know this doesn't have to go down that line.
Speaker 2: You've got a woman who competed in this contest and
Speaker 2: met all the qualifications, all the parameters that any mail
Speaker 2: had to meet and was able to complete the test.
Speaker 2: I finished out the out of side of fifteen groups
Speaker 2: that finished it. She was her and her partner were fourteenth.
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty good. I think that stands on
Speaker 2: its own. You know that there was no special favors given.
Speaker 2: You want to come and compete, come and compete, but
Speaker 2: you know they don't ask for special favors along the way.
Speaker 2: And apparently that did not happen here. And I would
Speaker 2: imagine under Pete Hegseth that nothing like that would ever happen.
Speaker 2: So I think that's pretty good. So I say congratulations
Speaker 2: to Captain Seth Delentree and First Lieutenant Gabrielle White. Joe's
Speaker 2: in Fairfield and Joe, you're on fifty five krs C.
Speaker 2: Good morning. How are you Dan? I'm fantastic. Her are you, sir?
Speaker 2: I'm good. What's up? Well?
Speaker 10: I was doing some research on this in a great
Speaker 10: story there with the female cosma not and then I
Speaker 10: realized that Rush it is yeah, and I realized it
Speaker 10: Rush had also been the first to send their reporters
Speaker 10: and their anchors into space as well.
Speaker 2: It's just that they chose not to use the parachutes. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: that might be a good plan with you know, if
Speaker 2: they if they weren't towing the company line, that might
Speaker 2: have been the faith that a lot of them, you
Speaker 2: know lost.
Speaker 10: Donald Cruf has his way to Donald has his way
Speaker 10: of dealing with him.
Speaker 11: I guess the Cosinos have their way of dealing with their.
Speaker 2: So that's pretty good. Sometimes the old ways, Sometimes the
Speaker 2: old ways are the best ways. I'll drink that all right,
Speaker 2: But Joe, do you feel do you feel better this morning?
Speaker 2: After the historic mission by Katy Perry and Gail King
Speaker 2: and the other women on board the U, the voice
Speaker 2: will never be the same for me or.
Speaker 11: Whatever it was that they hosted Katie.
Speaker 2: He was a judge on American Idol for a few seasons.
Speaker 10: Well, I would imagine this is just going to open
Speaker 10: up her mind, you know, to the possibilities of of
Speaker 10: you know, any kind of talent.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, she's done it all now. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: she sang a song on the way back down, and
Speaker 2: the women thought that was especially especially meaningful. And and
Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to Steve Gorum
Speaker 2: a little bit later and find out what kind of
Speaker 2: science experiments can be can be carried out in the
Speaker 2: span of eleven minutes. That'll be interesting to see with
Speaker 2: the stuffed animal. Absolutely if they pass that around as well. Joe,
Speaker 2: thanks for the call this morning. All right, but here
Speaker 2: you there you go. Joe's having a little fun with
Speaker 2: that as well. He should. That's good stuff. Six thirty
Speaker 2: five Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC
Speaker 2: the talk station.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: So how do we Sean McMahon rolling out the hard
Speaker 2: rocket stuff this morning. That'll get you up and moved.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KOC Detalk station. Dan Carroll hanging out for
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. Doge is continuing to do great work. Now,
Speaker 2: if you have a grievance with the federal government and
Speaker 2: how the government is spending your tax money, if you
Speaker 2: have a complaint about wasteful practices or bureaucracy, you can
Speaker 2: now go to the Department of Government Efficiency, which has
Speaker 2: an Internet portal where you can take your complaint directly
Speaker 2: to them. The Department of Government Efficiency launched a website
Speaker 2: where Americans can directly report and suggest how to deregulate
Speaker 2: policies within the federal government. Your voice in federal decision making.
Speaker 2: Reads the website regulations dot gov. Impacted by an existing
Speaker 2: rule of regulation, share your ideas for deregulation by completing
Speaker 2: this form. That's a great idea. They are certainly according
Speaker 2: to red State, they're opening the floodgates to all this.
Speaker 2: But now we don't have to wait around to let
Speaker 2: the government know how we feel about the money that
Speaker 2: they that they take from us. DOGE worked with the
Speaker 2: Government Services Administration, independent agency task with helping support the
Speaker 2: function of other federal agencies, and the Office of Management
Speaker 2: and Budget, which is the federal office frequently charged with
Speaker 2: overseeing deregulation efforts. Doges combining the administration goals of adding
Speaker 2: transparency and slashing waste, fraud, and abuse by offering the
Speaker 2: American people the unique opportunity to recommend more deregulatory actions.
Speaker 2: The Doge led effort highlights Trump's priority to put the
Speaker 2: first of the people first, and government bureaucrats last, said
Speaker 2: White House spokesperson or a spokeswoman, Taylor Rogers. That's pretty
Speaker 2: cool though. So if you have a complaint about the government,
Speaker 2: maybe you work for the government. I mean, anyone can
Speaker 2: do this you can go to the government portal. I
Speaker 2: have not tried this yet, so if you want to
Speaker 2: try it, it's called regulations dot gov. Let's see. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's a link on this story here deregulation or regulations
Speaker 2: dot gov. Then it's got deregulation suggestions and if you
Speaker 2: have an idea for cutting existing rules of regulations, we
Speaker 2: want to hear from you. And they've got some boxes
Speaker 2: you fill out here and just scroll down the form
Speaker 2: and away you go. So you can now go directly
Speaker 2: to the government thanks to Doge to deregulate stuff. And
Speaker 2: Doge and the Dog's website continues to rock and roll.
Speaker 2: They continue to put stuff out that I like, stuff
Speaker 2: that they are cutting. Here's what Doge wrote last night.
Speaker 2: Agencies terminated one hundred and eighty wasteful contracts with a
Speaker 2: ceiling value of three point three billion dollars and savings
Speaker 2: of two point six billion, including I love this one
Speaker 2: eighty five and a half thousand dollars. This was an
Speaker 2: EPA contract for live plant maintenance services. Live plant maintenance services.
Speaker 2: What do you think that means? Live plant maintenance services.
Speaker 2: That's a contract that costs the EPA eighty five thousand dollars. Now,
Speaker 2: it's been a while since I've been in an EPA building.
Speaker 2: The last one I was in, I don't remember a
Speaker 2: lot of flowers. I don't remember a lot of plants
Speaker 2: being there. They might have been fake that I saw.
Speaker 2: I guess I haven't. I don't think we have, Sean
Speaker 2: McMann do. We don't have any plants around here, do we?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I can't think of a single plant. Maybe someone has
Speaker 2: one in an office somewhere I haven't seen. But uh,
Speaker 2: of course, we have no access to the outside world
Speaker 2: here in this studio. But when I look out the
Speaker 2: little sliver in the door there, you know, I look
Speaker 2: out in the area where there's a bunch of tables
Speaker 2: and a bunch of chairs and a bunch of cubicles.
Speaker 2: I don't see us decorating with plants that really anywhere.
Speaker 2: But at the EPA, I guess they have plants. And
Speaker 2: the contract to water those plants costs eighty five grand.
Speaker 2: Well Doge looked at that and said, nah, bah bah nah.
Speaker 2: And now the EPA team, the internal EPA team, will
Speaker 2: handle the watering of the plants while saving US eighty
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars. Anyone opposed to that. Anyone think that's
Speaker 2: not a good thing. Here's another two hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars Health and Human Services contract for social
Speaker 2: media monitoring, subscription, training and platforms set up so for
Speaker 2: Health and Human Services to monitor social media and you
Speaker 2: you buy a subscription for that for whatever reason, cost
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars a year. Maybe
Speaker 2: there's someone who's better versed in the Internet than I am.
Speaker 2: I believe there are some companies that, for very good reasons,
Speaker 2: monitor social media to see what's being said about them,
Speaker 2: see if there's anything they need to get ahead of,
Speaker 2: see if you know they're they're you know, on top
Speaker 2: of the latest trends, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's plenty of companies that find that sort
Speaker 2: of service invaluable, and maybe you do it in house.
Speaker 2: I don't know. But to spend two hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars on it for that contract, maybe it's
Speaker 2: just me that seems a little excessive, and I'm glad
Speaker 2: they took it out. Six forty six Dan Carroll for
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, I'm fifty five KRCD talk station.
Speaker 5: Fifty five krc.
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Victor Gray and I'm calling fifty five KRCD
Speaker 2: talk station. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas five one, three
Speaker 2: seven four nine fifty five hundred. Rich from New Richmond
Speaker 2: is on the phone, and Rich, how are you this morning? Fine?
Speaker 12: How are you doing?
Speaker 11: Dan?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 13: Rich?
Speaker 2: What you got for me?
Speaker 12: Well, the EPA they must be doing a little bit
Speaker 12: of work doing. I think it because all the carbon
Speaker 12: oxide that they are breeding and in that building, Uh,
Speaker 12: they need the plants to turn that back into oxygen.
Speaker 2: I guess, well, is it is the e p A. Look,
Speaker 2: you've had all these government agencies where after the Wuhan,
Speaker 2: no one decided to come to work anymore. So we
Speaker 2: know that that was one of the first things that
Speaker 2: Doage talked about was all these government buildings that we
Speaker 2: have and all this rent that we pay and the
Speaker 2: and the buildings are largely empty. So I guess you've
Speaker 2: got the plants in there waiting for people to come back. So,
Speaker 2: you know, are people going back to work? I guess
Speaker 2: maybe they are going back to work at the e
Speaker 2: p A.
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 12: That might be an problem because it's too much oxygen.
Speaker 12: Maybe it'll blow up.
Speaker 2: I don't who knows, but I love the fact that
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's people at the E p A who
Speaker 2: sit around and don't do a whole lot during the day.
Speaker 2: But now at least once a day they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to pick up the watering can or the coffee pot
Speaker 2: and go water the plants. I think that's great, and
Speaker 2: they earned a little bit of that money they're making. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you, rich I appreciate the phone call very much.
Speaker 2: And that was rich and New Richmond, and I hope
Speaker 2: he was avoiding the flood there. Bill Maher has been
Speaker 2: the last couple of days he's been out talking about
Speaker 2: and he made a lengthy video talking about the dinner
Speaker 2: that he had with Donald Trump. And look, I am
Speaker 2: not a Bill Maher devote I am not a Bill
Speaker 2: Maher fan. I think I don't watch his show on
Speaker 2: What is It on HBO. I see some clips of
Speaker 2: the stuff he does once in a while. I think
Speaker 2: the I think there are times when he can be
Speaker 2: spot on. I think there are times when he can
Speaker 2: be brutally honest. I think he has done the Democrat
Speaker 2: Party a huge favor by calling a spade a spade
Speaker 2: and calling out in a manner that everyone can understand
Speaker 2: the difficulties Democrat Party is having. And so over the weekend,
Speaker 2: he got invited to the White House with Kid Rock
Speaker 2: to have dinner with Donald Trump. And at first he
Speaker 2: was kind of blown away about it, not sure if
Speaker 2: he wanted to do it, but then thought better of
Speaker 2: it and said, you know what, this could wind up
Speaker 2: being a good thing. And so he has come back
Speaker 2: now after his dinner and he's talking about his experience
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump and being honest about it, and he
Speaker 2: he said essentially that his mind was blown that he
Speaker 2: came to the realization that Trump is much more self
Speaker 2: aware and personable than he ever imagined. He said, everything
Speaker 2: I never liked about him was I swear to God absent,
Speaker 2: mar said. And so he talked about and you know,
Speaker 2: he went there with Kid Rock, and I think Dana
Speaker 2: White was there and a couple of others, and he
Speaker 2: tells us to go look at the video. The video
Speaker 2: was actually pretty compelling of Bill Maher telling the story
Speaker 2: about his dinner with Trump. But now there are certain
Speaker 2: journalists out there who are looking at this and they're
Speaker 2: firing at Bill Maher talking about how he's been caught
Speaker 2: up in the in the Trump propaganda. They are suggesting
Speaker 2: now that he is nothing more than a useful idiot
Speaker 2: for Trump, part of a publicity stunt. And Bill Maher,
Speaker 2: to his credit, is defending himself and and he's telling,
Speaker 2: you know, these people that they are wrong, you know.
Speaker 2: And it is beyond me why some people just cannot
Speaker 2: abuid that people of different political outlooks can get together
Speaker 2: and then have and have an honest conversation there. I mean,
Speaker 2: there are plenty of things of Bill Maher if you
Speaker 2: listen to what he said. There are plenty of things
Speaker 2: that he brought up the Trump that that were in
Speaker 2: a disagreement with the Trump policy. And he talks about
Speaker 2: Trump Trump's reaction to that, and you know how honest
Speaker 2: and genuine he thought Trump was. But you know, the
Speaker 2: notion that you can't have people at different outlooks break
Speaker 2: bread together and then have an honest conversation about it,
Speaker 2: who's the one who's being short sighted? There? Six fifty
Speaker 2: five on fifty five krs the talk stations. News happens fast,
Speaker 2: stay up to date. At the top of the hour,
Speaker 2: we're moving very quickly fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 2: This report is sponsored by Generate fifty five KRS the
Speaker 2: talk station Good Tuesday Morning, Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: I get to be here Wednesday and Thursday as well.
Speaker 2: Sean McMahon running the big board in the fifty five
Speaker 2: KRC command center. So when you call in, make sure
Speaker 2: you say hay him. Five one, three nine fifty five
Speaker 2: hundred is the number to call. Attorney James Bogan joins
Speaker 2: us at the bottom of the hour, and we've got
Speaker 2: some subjects. We'll be kicking around with him. Big deal
Speaker 2: at the White House yesterday, and I must say the
Speaker 2: the way Trump is running things at the White House
Speaker 2: is thoroughly entertaining to me. It is anyway, you know,
Speaker 2: I like all this political stuff, like the I like
Speaker 2: to set up. I like the fact that when he
Speaker 2: meets with these different world leaders, it's not just a
Speaker 2: little bit of a photo op. And then, you know,
Speaker 2: like Biden did you the reporters would throw questions at
Speaker 2: him and he would just stand there with that just
Speaker 2: sit there with that look on his face and really
Speaker 2: just proving what what a jerk he really is. Trump is.
Speaker 2: You know, he's got the reporters in there, they're all
Speaker 2: over the place. They're loud, they're yelling, they're boisterous. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's got cabinet members there too. And yesterday he was
Speaker 2: with the President of Al Salvador Naive Bukayley, b u
Speaker 2: k e l e Bukayley. I guess that is how
Speaker 2: you say his name. I apologize for f Iro'm mispronouncing it.
Speaker 2: But he was there, and he declined to ask the
Speaker 2: l Salvadoran president to return this dude that got mistakenly
Speaker 2: deported to El Salvador. Trump didn't want to bother the
Speaker 2: the President of Al Salvador with it, but some of
Speaker 2: the reporters did. And so when the President of Al
Speaker 2: Salvador was asked about that, I believe it was Caitlyn
Speaker 2: Collins from CNN who asked the who asked the question.
Speaker 2: The President of Al Salvador just gave it right back
Speaker 2: to her. And Sean mcmanon, let's hear cut number one please.
Speaker 6: Well, I suppose I suggested that I smuggle a terrorists
Speaker 6: into the United States? Right, how can I smuggle How
Speaker 6: can I returned him to.
Speaker 8: The United State?
Speaker 5: If I could, I smuggle him and to the United States?
Speaker 10: So what do we do it?
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 6: It's like, I mean, the questions were busters, how can
Speaker 6: I smuggle the terrorists at to the United States.
Speaker 7: I don't have the power to return him to the
Speaker 7: United States.
Speaker 2: So there's the president of Al Salvador saying, look, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not in the smuggling business. Uh this
Speaker 2: kill Maar Abrego Garcia, citizen of Al Salvador, deported by
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. Apparently they're saying by mistake. The Supreme
Speaker 2: Court ruled the administration must facilitate his return. But during
Speaker 2: the uh the Oval office visit there, you heard what
Speaker 2: the what the president had to say, can't smuggle the
Speaker 2: terrorist into the United States. But this wasn't good enough
Speaker 2: for Caitlin Collins, the CNN reporter who was there, who
Speaker 2: loves to give Trump and his cabinet at our time
Speaker 2: whenever she gets the chance. And so there's a you're
Speaker 2: you're going to hear in this next SoundBite, you're going
Speaker 2: to hear a couple of different people. You're going to
Speaker 2: hear Marco Rubio, and then you're going to hear Steven Miller,
Speaker 2: and they are laying out for this reporter and all
Speaker 2: the reporters in the room, exactly how foreign policy is
Speaker 2: supposed to work. And this is the kind of give
Speaker 2: and take that we never saw from the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: We never saw it from the Obama administration. I don't
Speaker 2: think we I really don't think we ever saw it
Speaker 2: during the any of the Bush administrations. This is the kind,
Speaker 2: to my way of thinking, this is the way things
Speaker 2: ought to be. It's the United States of America, for
Speaker 2: God's sake. Let the reporters in there. When when you
Speaker 2: had Joe Biden in office, all he could do was
Speaker 2: it on that fake set. It kind of looked loud
Speaker 2: on that time. Remember the tiny little desk. He would
Speaker 2: sit over there and there'd be monitors all around. I
Speaker 2: guess they put that together because of the Wuhan, And
Speaker 2: they still I saw I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2: It was say it with some cabinet members and they
Speaker 2: were doing some sort of event, and I think they
Speaker 2: were on that that set that Biden would use. There's
Speaker 2: no way I can I cannot imagine that Trump will
Speaker 2: ever go on there or set foot on that. He's
Speaker 2: going to do his stuff from the Oval office. But
Speaker 2: here's here's the the way this this went down when
Speaker 2: they were And this is what I love about Trump.
Speaker 2: He's got his cabinet members there. He says, you guys
Speaker 2: handle this question. He let says, he lets his people
Speaker 2: talk in their area of expertise. And I thought this
Speaker 2: was great. And with that, Sean McMann, let's hear cut
Speaker 2: number two.
Speaker 14: Please, I don't understand what this individual is a citizen
Speaker 14: of else He was illegally in the United States and
Speaker 14: was returned to his country. That's where you deport people
Speaker 14: back to their country of origin.
Speaker 2: Except for Venezuela.
Speaker 14: That wasn't refusing to take people back of places like that.
Speaker 14: I can tell you this, mister President. No, the foreign
Speaker 14: policy of the United States is conducted by the President
Speaker 14: of the United States, not by a court. And no
Speaker 14: court in the United States has a right to conduct
Speaker 14: the foreign policy of the United States.
Speaker 2: It's that simple end the story, and that's what you
Speaker 2: secrete for it telling. By the way, it's a Marco's point.
Speaker 2: The court said exactly.
Speaker 1: What Marco said, that no court has the authority to
Speaker 1: compel the foreign policy fund the United States. We want
Speaker 1: a case nine to zero, and people like CNN are
Speaker 1: portraying it as a loss, as usual because they want
Speaker 1: foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children.
Speaker 1: But President Trump his policy is foreign terrorists that are
Speaker 1: here illegally get expelled from the country, which by the way,
Speaker 1: is a ninety ten issue.
Speaker 2: Well, the President, you said that if the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: says like we need to be returned today, how long
Speaker 2: do we have to answer this question from you?
Speaker 15: Why didn't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're
Speaker 15: keeping criminals out of our country?
Speaker 2: Why can't you just say that? Why do you go
Speaker 2: over and over? And that's why.
Speaker 8: Nobody watches you anymore?
Speaker 2: You know you have no credibility. There you go, there's true.
Speaker 2: Why do we have to listen to this question over
Speaker 2: and over and over again? And he lets say he
Speaker 2: lets him ask it. It's not as if he's shutting
Speaker 2: them up. He's got a You heard Marco Rubo, Marco
Speaker 2: Rubio say it right there. Look, the guy is from
Speaker 2: El Salvador. He was in the country. I think he
Speaker 2: said he was in the country. Illeague se can you
Speaker 2: play the first part of that bite again? I want
Speaker 2: to hear of Marco Rubio said he. I thought Marco
Speaker 2: Rubio was really good on this. I understand.
Speaker 14: This individual is a citizen of El Salvador. He was
Speaker 14: illegally in the United States and was returned to his country.
Speaker 14: That's where you deport people back to their country of origin,
Speaker 14: except for Venezuela that wasn't refusing to take people back
Speaker 14: of places like that.
Speaker 2: I can tell you this, mister President.
Speaker 14: No, the foreign policy of the United States conducted by
Speaker 14: the President of the United States, not by a court.
Speaker 14: And no court in the United States has a right
Speaker 14: to conduct the foreign policy of the United States.
Speaker 2: It's that simple, and the story there you go. So
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio guy was in the United States illegally, now
Speaker 2: he's back in El Salvador. Should he be in prison,
Speaker 2: I don't know. But no court has the right to
Speaker 2: conduct foreign policy, and Marco Rubio is making it plain
Speaker 2: as it can possibly be, and they are proceeding under that,
Speaker 2: under that authority to do what needs to be done.
Speaker 2: But you know, the Left wants to spend this narrative that, oh,
Speaker 2: we've got one, We've got one who might have mistakenly
Speaker 2: been deported and kicked out of the country. How many
Speaker 2: more are there, We'll trust me. If there were more,
Speaker 2: and they could find more. It'd be all over the news.
Speaker 2: They would love nothing more than to suggest and they
Speaker 2: still there is still plenty of leftist commentators out there
Speaker 2: who are suggesting that Trump is going to go after
Speaker 2: American citizens that he doesn't like. And if you're a
Speaker 2: citizen of America and you say something that Trump doesn't like,
Speaker 2: you do something that he doesn't like, then he's going
Speaker 2: to deport you out of the country. They're still trying
Speaker 2: to go after that. No, they are going after the
Speaker 2: dangerous criminals, like Steven Miller said, people who want to rape,
Speaker 2: people who want to murder, people who want to to steal,
Speaker 2: bring in drugs, human trafficking, sex trafficking, all the rest
Speaker 2: of it. Those are the kind of people that we
Speaker 2: want out. But yet there are certain courts in this
Speaker 2: country and certain journalists in this country who want these
Speaker 2: kind of people in the country. And so that you
Speaker 2: know that that is why when Trump look normally, when
Speaker 2: a foreign visitor comes to the White House in the
Speaker 2: Oval Office, they sit there in those yellow chairs. I
Speaker 2: guess you know there's fireplace in the background. They take
Speaker 2: a picture of them and shaking hands. They as far
Speaker 2: as Biden was concerned, they would recite a couple of
Speaker 2: prepared remarks. Obama certainly did that as well. There's nothing
Speaker 2: genuine there, nothing that is really newsworthy. But look at
Speaker 2: what Trump. What Trump is doing, He's having He's having
Speaker 2: a legitimate exchange, a real life back and forth. You've
Speaker 2: got these reporters trying to throw Trump and his people
Speaker 2: off their game, and they're and they're saying, bring it,
Speaker 2: we are ready for you. You tell me. Are they
Speaker 2: trying to cover something up, they trying to act, you know,
Speaker 2: are they acting as if they're doing something that they
Speaker 2: shouldn't be doing. I don't think so. So this is
Speaker 2: why when whenever you've got an event like this in
Speaker 2: the White House, to my way of thinking, I'm going
Speaker 2: to watch it. I'm going to look at it as
Speaker 2: much as I can, And at least when I'm doing
Speaker 2: a show like this, I get to bring it to
Speaker 2: your attention to So that's a double bonus. Seven sixteen
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. I'm fifty five KRC Detalk station.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Susan lows King with cross Country More. Fifty five KRC
Speaker 2: Detalk Station seven four nine fifty five hundred the number
Speaker 2: to call if you want to get on board. They're
Speaker 2: just looking at just the news during the break there,
Speaker 2: and they're talking about before weaponizing Russia against Trump, Biden
Speaker 2: and other Democrats reaped lucrative benefits. Well, you don't say,
Speaker 2: while Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt
Speaker 2: to sink President Donald Trump's first term. In retrospect, the
Speaker 2: party's leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it
Speaker 2: wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or
Speaker 2: allies from the Obama era Russian reset, the Secretary of
Speaker 2: State Hillary Clinton so Kolkovo investment project to honor Biden's
Speaker 2: business in Moscow, and Joe Biden's waiving the sanctions against
Speaker 2: the Russian pipeline. Key Democrat figures reaped political and financial
Speaker 2: benefits from going soft on Moscow. Newly declassified documents produced
Speaker 2: by the FBI and Department of Justice Crossfire Hurricane investigation
Speaker 2: into allegations that then candidate Trump or members of his
Speaker 2: campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the twenty sixteen election
Speaker 2: wholly discredit the probe. For example, one key informant's account
Speaker 2: was deemed unreliable and official disputed. A key media narrative
Speaker 2: and some key source, Christopher Steele, leaked his infamous dossier
Speaker 2: to the media. Last week, FBI Director Cash Mattel transmitted
Speaker 2: to Congress hundreds of pages declassified documents from that investigation,
Speaker 2: following a declassification executive order from President Trump. Just The
Speaker 2: News made all seven hundred pages from the declassified binder
Speaker 2: available to the public. Despite several years with a focus
Speaker 2: on the allegations from the Democrats in Congress and investigation
Speaker 2: by Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not establish any criminal
Speaker 2: Trump Russian collusion. Special Council John Durham appointed to review
Speaker 2: the probe and ultimately ultimately concluded that neither US law
Speaker 2: enforcement nor the intelligence community community appears to have possessed
Speaker 2: any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings. At the
Speaker 2: commencement of Crossfire Hurricane investigation, after Russia's two invasions of Ukraine,
Speaker 2: first in twenty fourteen then again in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: senior Democrat leaders routinely or roundly called out Russia and
Speaker 2: as President Vladimir Putin's aggressive behavior primarily targeted at the
Speaker 2: country smaller neighbor Ukraine. But in years before the Moscow invasion,
Speaker 2: or before Moscow's invasion, Democrats enriched themselves politically and personally
Speaker 2: from Russia oligarchs, oligarchs. I thought Democrats were against oligarchs,
Speaker 2: maybe just oligarchs in America, but the Russian ones, those
Speaker 2: are fine, man. They enriched themselves politically and personally from
Speaker 2: Russian oligarchs and businesses in the region while empowering Putin
Speaker 2: with energy and technology deals. So, I mean, this piece
Speaker 2: goes on and on and on, and it kind of
Speaker 2: outlines a lot of the ways different deals that were
Speaker 2: in place for the pipeline of money to flow back
Speaker 2: to the Democrats. Hunter Biden has talked about in here.
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden and his partner's pursuit of Russia riches began
Speaker 2: as early as twenty ten, when the Reset was entering
Speaker 2: the full swing with payments from a Moscow based machinery
Speaker 2: firm and it's patriarch, and they antestified a few years
Speaker 2: later at a time when Joe Biden's son was actually
Speaker 2: still serving in the US Navy. How about that, So
Speaker 2: this was going on with Russia while Hunter was still
Speaker 2: in the Navy. But yeah, it made this goes on
Speaker 2: all these documents and talking about how the Democrats were
Speaker 2: cashing in, so all this stuff and again that old
Speaker 2: saying holds true. All this stuff that they accused Trump
Speaker 2: of doing, it turns out that they were doing themselves. Jim,
Speaker 2: what's up this morning? How you doing?
Speaker 13: I'm doing for there? You talk about female army rangers competing. Yeah, earlier.
Speaker 13: It's great to hear that they're actually having to meet
Speaker 13: the same standards because Mile Ma Mater in nineteen eighty
Speaker 13: when they let women are at West Point, they low
Speaker 13: with the standers significantly.
Speaker 2: Sure they did bysically. Well, that's one of the that's
Speaker 2: one of the very first things that Pete Hegseeth said.
Speaker 2: He said, Look, if we got we have women in
Speaker 2: the military, there are no longer going to be two
Speaker 2: sets of standards. You can either do the job or
Speaker 2: you can't. And if you can do it, then you
Speaker 2: then God bless you. Then ah, you know, more power
Speaker 2: to you. And if you can't, you can't. And look,
Speaker 2: serving in the military is not a right, it's a privilege.
Speaker 2: And we need to have standards. We need to have
Speaker 2: you know, these these tests in these bars that need
Speaker 2: to be passed and accomplished before someone can move on
Speaker 2: in the military. And you know, excuse making doesn't do
Speaker 2: anyone any favors. When you're on the battlefield and you
Speaker 2: need to know that your partner in combat has your.
Speaker 13: Back, You've got to be able to do the job. Yes,
Speaker 13: unfortunately they couldn't. I mean, just before I left the military,
Speaker 13: we greater exercise to see how well we could make
Speaker 13: a signal with talian thirty female and they couldn't handle
Speaker 13: the job. They couldn't do the physical part of it.
Speaker 13: And so you're putting people in danger.
Speaker 2: Sure you are. But look if this woman was able
Speaker 2: to complete the you know, the the obstacle course and
Speaker 2: moving sixty miles and the shooting requirements and all that,
Speaker 2: and you know, her team, out of what fifty two teams,
Speaker 2: there were only sixteen that completed the training, and so
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty good, and I say congratulations to
Speaker 2: her and more power to her. Yep, agree with you, Jim.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Thanks for listening. There you go,
Speaker 2: that was Jim and he's right on the money. We
Speaker 2: got to get to a break and then we'll be
Speaker 2: talking with James Bogan on the other side as we
Speaker 2: roll on here on the fifty five krc Morning Show,
Speaker 2: fifty five KRCV Talks, They fifty five the Talk Station,
Speaker 2: A Minute of Hope, fifty five krc DE Talk Station.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. So glad to be here
Speaker 2: and always glad to welcome in my my next guest,
Speaker 2: local attorney and legal analyst and James Bogan. Great to
Speaker 2: have you back on the show. How are you today?
Speaker 11: Good?
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. Before I get to the subject that we
Speaker 2: had at hand, I got a couple of questions for
Speaker 2: you and just a couple of things that occurred to
Speaker 2: me over the last couple hours. You know, it was
Speaker 2: what was it? It was? It was like a month,
Speaker 2: almost two months ago you and I were talking about
Speaker 2: the pending release of the Epstein files. And remember we
Speaker 2: we we kind of made plans. You know, when those
Speaker 2: come out, we're gonna we're gonna look at it, We're
Speaker 2: gonna dissect it. We're gonna do a segment on the
Speaker 2: radio and and talk about that and talk about what's
Speaker 2: in it, what's not what's not in it? Uh, how
Speaker 2: those you know, we're going to break those things down.
Speaker 2: And then of course, you know the release was delayed,
Speaker 2: that it never happened, And here we are, and this
Speaker 2: feels like it was a couple of months ago, and
Speaker 2: I've not seen hide her hair of the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: Have you seen any unication at all that those things
Speaker 2: will ever see the light of day.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. They got a truckload of files
Speaker 3: that next day when Pam Bondi gave that deadline, And
Speaker 3: in my experience, when you have that many files, I'd
Speaker 3: be very hard pressed to see how they could have
Speaker 3: gone through them thoroughly and made the appropriate redactions like
Speaker 3: redacting out victims' names and so on, which is very
Speaker 3: routine for any law enforcement to do before releasing.
Speaker 2: Documents to the public.
Speaker 3: Unless they were doing it twenty four to seven around
Speaker 3: the clock, and that's the only thing they're working on.
Speaker 3: I really don't think they would have had it done
Speaker 3: by now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was under the impression one thing, that some
Speaker 2: of that had already taken place, though her being I
Speaker 2: remember her being on TV with Jesse Waters talking about, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, those files are coming out tomorrow and we're
Speaker 2: doing the final reactions and making sure that we don't
Speaker 2: compromise any information or give away people's names. It shouldn't
Speaker 2: be given away. I thought they had already done all
Speaker 2: that stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. And the thing is Pam BONDI,
Speaker 3: she's salivating to release this stuff. You know, Trump is too,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking. And I don't think they gain
Speaker 3: anything by holding stuff back if that stuff's been done,
Speaker 3: because I think they're absolutely chomping at the bit to
Speaker 3: release this stuff.
Speaker 2: That's just my thought. All right, Well, then our plans
Speaker 2: are still in place, and when those things come out,
Speaker 2: we'll we'll we'll have you on and we'll break it
Speaker 2: down and we'll see what's what on the Epstein file.
Speaker 2: So that so keep that, keep that in your calendar,
Speaker 2: all right, I will do Dan, all right. The other
Speaker 2: thing is some information started coming out yesterday about this
Speaker 2: fifteen year old that's accused of killing this guy on
Speaker 2: Short Vine a couple of days ago. And the video
Speaker 2: came out, yes the video was released yesterday of how
Speaker 2: this happened. And you see this guy standing in front
Speaker 2: of that liquor store on Short Vine. He's got his
Speaker 2: nose in his cell phone, he's minding his own business.
Speaker 2: This kid walks up to him, pulls out a gun
Speaker 2: and sticks it in his midsection. And information started coming
Speaker 2: out leaked yesterday that this guy has been in the
Speaker 2: juvenile system before various judges, I guess in Hamilton County
Speaker 2: Juvenile Court with twenty one felonies. And maybe it's just me,
Speaker 2: but twenty one when you're at the age of fifteen,
Speaker 2: sounds like a lot. And yet this kid was still
Speaker 2: It seems to me like this is a kid who
Speaker 2: should not have been on the street, should not have
Speaker 2: had any access to a gun. Is this and I
Speaker 2: mean in a general sense, if you have a kid
Speaker 2: that has is fifteen years old, has that many felonies,
Speaker 2: that much contact with the court, how is this kid
Speaker 2: able to be out on the street.
Speaker 3: That's a good question. It depends on what those twenty
Speaker 3: one felonies were. And you see when they count prior felonies,
Speaker 3: they what they do is they take the total. They
Speaker 3: don't take look back and say, hey, this could be
Speaker 3: from like two or three cases.
Speaker 2: But yeah, apparently one of them was the illegal discharge
Speaker 2: of a weapon. There was a couple of them I
Speaker 2: think that involved possession of a gun.
Speaker 3: And so that dischargeable weapon is a felony that in
Speaker 3: adult court typically carries prison time and it's a strict
Speaker 3: liability offense, which means you can't argue self defense with
Speaker 3: that one. So yeah, I definitely have questions. But the
Speaker 3: bigger thing is where the hell are his kids parents?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely? And are we just unequipped in the juvenile
Speaker 2: system to deal with this in any in any meaningful way?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really a case by case and i'd
Speaker 3: say because I've had juvenile clients where you know, I
Speaker 3: definitely did not question the outcome. But you know, like
Speaker 3: I said, every case is different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, James, stay right there. I want
Speaker 2: to talk about some of the Title nine stuff that
Speaker 2: that is happening, and it is it is amazing to
Speaker 2: me that some of these different universities and these different
Speaker 2: entities think that they can stand their ground against the
Speaker 2: federal government on this. And we'll get your thoughts on that,
Speaker 2: but we got to get to a quick break here,
Speaker 2: So James Bogan stand by and we'll continue on with
Speaker 2: him on the other side on fifty five KRC, the
Speaker 2: talk station.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Get ready for spring and have your roof guts fifty
Speaker 2: five krc DE Talk station Dan Carroll for Bryan Thomas.
Speaker 2: We are talking with local attorney James Bogan, and James,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm looking at some of the headlines here
Speaker 2: and you've got the University of Pennsylvania. Trump is suspending
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five million dollars in federal funding
Speaker 2: because they continue to allow male athletes to compete in
Speaker 2: women's sports. The Secretary of Education is telling these these
Speaker 2: different universities the NCAA that their policies need to get
Speaker 2: in line with what the Trump administration is saying about this.
Speaker 2: You've got main schools who are saying they are not
Speaker 2: going to not going to change their transgender policies as
Speaker 2: it relates to sports. What kind of ground do these
Speaker 2: places have to stand on in order to stand in
Speaker 2: defiance of what's coming out of the White House. They
Speaker 2: have absolutely zero ground.
Speaker 3: And you just look at the text the Title nine,
Speaker 3: which this executive order is based on. No one shall
Speaker 3: be excluded from participation in sports or deny the benefit
Speaker 3: of sports school sports based on gender. And when you
Speaker 3: allow biological males to compete in girls' sports, you're taking
Speaker 3: away these opportunities to participate and have gained the benefits
Speaker 3: from these sports because when you have biological males, even
Speaker 3: if they take hormones, they're still.
Speaker 2: During puberty.
Speaker 3: They get bigger muscles, bigger frame, bigger lung capacity, stronger ligament,
Speaker 3: stronger tendons, more muscle density, and those advantages do not
Speaker 3: get mitigated by hormone treatment. And feelings certainly don't mitigate
Speaker 3: these physical advantages, and you'll see them displacing girls. I mean,
Speaker 3: we talked about this. Leah Thomas, for example, when as
Speaker 3: Will Thomas was the number four hundred and sixty two
Speaker 3: among college men in the two hundred yard freestyle, went
Speaker 3: from that to number one among college women. Now men's
Speaker 3: and women's times performances is about a ten to twelve
Speaker 3: percent different. Thomas's time only dropped by two point sixty
Speaker 3: six percent or regressed by two point six six percent
Speaker 3: from the hormones and splockers and so on. It's and
Speaker 3: when women girls, when they take steroids, they don't become
Speaker 3: as good as men. I mean, you saw that we've
Speaker 3: talked about this. There's that Yale swimmer who she was
Speaker 3: one of the top women in the country actually compete
Speaker 3: against Leah Thomas the next year swam for Yale as
Speaker 3: a guy and wasn't even competitive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the way it happens then. And I
Speaker 2: love the way you address that argument, because you're talking
Speaker 2: about Title nine, and Title nine really looks after the
Speaker 2: rights of women. And we've gone so far down the
Speaker 2: road on this argument that it always starts with the
Speaker 2: rights of those who, you know, these transgender individuals that
Speaker 2: somehow their rights are being in fringe. And what gets
Speaker 2: lost in that argument are the rights of those women
Speaker 2: to compete on a fair and level playing field. You know,
Speaker 2: these women who have sacrificed mightily, who have given up
Speaker 2: all sorts of things, and then you know, when it's
Speaker 2: time for them, you know, for the rubber to hit
Speaker 2: the road, well, then they have to face another unfair
Speaker 2: challenge in the form of some dude that's been through
Speaker 2: puberty and now wants to they have long hair and
Speaker 2: wear dresses and call themself a woman. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, if I would have compete as a woman,
Speaker 3: I would have been a superstar when.
Speaker 2: My son would have been the same way. He had
Speaker 2: better times than Katie Ladecki, for God's sake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what everyone though the proponents of
Speaker 3: this crap, they just focus on feelings, feelings, feelings. And
Speaker 3: these are the same people who said trust the science during.
Speaker 2: COVID, Yeah, trust the science. That the science at least
Speaker 2: went it as long as it fits their narrative. So
Speaker 2: it was so, where do you see this going? I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, the Trump administration so far is able to
Speaker 2: withhold funds, and we've had so many federal judges across
Speaker 2: the country who feel have been feeling so free to
Speaker 2: wade into any issue that comes out of the White House.
Speaker 2: Are we going to be subject to more federal rulings
Speaker 2: and federal court judges trying to direct the Trump administration
Speaker 2: to do this, that and the other thing.
Speaker 11: That's an interesting question.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen anything brought yet, but unfortunately, with these
Speaker 3: activist judges out there, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2: But you look at this way.
Speaker 3: The recent New York Times polls showed that seventy nine
Speaker 3: percent of people are opposed to this crap, And you
Speaker 3: look at this eventually reaches the Supreme Court. I think
Speaker 3: once it reaches the Supreme Court, which is more matter
Speaker 3: when than if there are some penning cases, I think
Speaker 3: the Court's gonna end up ruling on the right.
Speaker 2: Side of this. Yeah, James, before we let you go,
Speaker 2: you brought to my attention yesterday a situation that's developing
Speaker 2: within the Cincinnati Police Department, and it has to do
Speaker 2: with a retired officer who is trying to get a
Speaker 2: replacement badge after retiring from the force. And there seems
Speaker 2: to be some so I don't know if it's a
Speaker 2: misunderstanding or some sort of complication as to this officer
Speaker 2: getting a replacement badge, And you know, the way the
Speaker 2: argument was laid out for me, this just sounds to
Speaker 2: me like something that doesn't really need to get to
Speaker 2: the level that this thing is getting to already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, retired police officer Rachel Baldwin, I've been in chatting
Speaker 3: with her about this too. She retired in good standing.
Speaker 3: She lost her retirement badge. Many retired officers request the
Speaker 3: second retirement badge. One goes in their wallet, one goes
Speaker 3: on display. It's not nefarious to lose a retirement badge.
Speaker 3: It says retirement and big letters across the top. It's
Speaker 3: not like anyone can use it. And people I've talked
Speaker 3: to with CPD say it's not unpreceded for a retired
Speaker 3: officer to get a replacement retirement badge either now, Baldwin,
Speaker 3: she lost her badge. She went to police supply to
Speaker 3: inquire about the process, you know, to get this replacement
Speaker 3: badge that she earned through thirty years of service. And
Speaker 3: it's something they pay out a pocket for too. And
Speaker 3: she was told she had to make a report and
Speaker 3: write a letter her and it had to go to
Speaker 3: the chief, who's the one person who approves and disapproves
Speaker 3: these for some strange reason now, and the chief said
Speaker 3: no and doubled down on it when FOP President Ken
Speaker 3: Kober intervened, and she said, one retirement badge to each
Speaker 3: officer period. To hell with bad things happening like you're
Speaker 3: getting stolen. And the thing is, she retired in good standing,
Speaker 3: filed the appropriate report when she lost her badge and
Speaker 3: jumped her all the hoops, and this is what she gets.
Speaker 3: And Cober he confirmed me the under CPD policy, this
Speaker 3: is the chief's prerogative. And here's the funny part. Another
Speaker 3: retired CPD officer, I'm not going to bring his name
Speaker 3: into this, he started posting about this on Facebook to
Speaker 3: support Baldwin. Guess what CPD's public information officer decides to
Speaker 3: call him and advise him to stop discussing on social media.
Speaker 3: And this officer, he's the kind of guy who doesn't
Speaker 3: take highly to bullying. But memo to CPD administrators, there's
Speaker 3: a little thing called the First Amendment and any first
Speaker 3: year laws and can tell you government agencies are bound
Speaker 3: by it. Hello, And what's funny is apparently when this
Speaker 3: part blew up, my understanding is this public relations officer
Speaker 3: may have claimed that she called this retired officer who
Speaker 3: was speaking up not to try to get them to
Speaker 3: stop posting that online, but to try to help I
Speaker 3: don't obviously I'd have more questions about that conversation. But
Speaker 3: here's the thing. If you want to be an effective leader,
Speaker 3: you need to make your officers feel appreciated. You need
Speaker 3: to make your retirees feel appreciated, instead of having your
Speaker 3: current officers feel that you see them as disposable and
Speaker 3: that when they retire they'll be thrown out like yesterday's garbage.
Speaker 3: Not announce the respect. I mean, is that the kind
Speaker 3: of leadership message you want to send.
Speaker 2: I don't seems to me like the whole thing is
Speaker 2: is really an unforced there, it's it's it's a retirement badge,
Speaker 2: and and the and the pay for it out of
Speaker 2: your own pocket, do the paperwork whatever procedures there and
Speaker 2: just let let it go and move on. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just hope this thing gets resolved and gets resolved
Speaker 2: quickly before it becomes some sort of an issue. But
Speaker 2: with that, James, we will let you go. Always appreciate
Speaker 2: the time as always, and we will talk to you
Speaker 2: again before too long.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Dan, always apprivileged.
Speaker 2: All right, James Bogan on fifty five k r CV Talkstation,
Speaker 2: fifty five KRC dot com. This is Joe Cordell, fifty
Speaker 2: five k r C the talk station. I want to
Speaker 2: thank James Bogan for being here. Always always good talking
Speaker 2: to him, getting his insight on on things. And the
Speaker 2: video is going to build five hundred, five hundred billion
Speaker 2: dollar Chip supercomputers in Texas. That is a sound like
Speaker 2: a really big deal. Have you seen the picture of
Speaker 2: this guy that set fire to Josh Shapiro's house. The
Speaker 2: governor of Pennsylvania, thirty eight year old Cody Balmer Harrisburg
Speaker 2: arrested charge with multiple felonies, including attempted homicide terrorism aggravated
Speaker 2: at Arson Burglary. This was the early morning attack on
Speaker 2: the governor's residence yesterday morning, about one three in the morning.
Speaker 2: Security footage obtained by law enforcement shows this guy breaking
Speaker 2: in to the piano room on the south side, igniting
Speaker 2: it with molotov cocktails. Are what they're saying. Molotov cocktails.
Speaker 2: And trust me, if this guy had any connection to
Speaker 2: Trump whatsoever, his name and his picture would be all
Speaker 2: over the news today. Of course, I can't why. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it is right now. I can't watch
Speaker 2: the news in here. If we have one. Let me
Speaker 2: see one, two, three, four, five big TVs in here.
Speaker 2: Not one of them is connected. So I'm I'm cut off.
Speaker 2: Sean mcmahonm cut off from the outside world. I love
Speaker 2: the technology here totally. I'm on an island all to
Speaker 2: myself here. All I have. My only connection to the
Speaker 2: outside world is this microphone and this computer in front
Speaker 2: of me. But this dude I heard this morning, he's
Speaker 2: throwing molotov cocktails, a favorite tool of the left, and
Speaker 2: I really could have wound up killing people, but thank
Speaker 2: god he didn't. But look at a picture of this dude.
Speaker 2: I mean he looks like he looks like something out
Speaker 2: of a str very one of those goth kind of
Speaker 2: horror movies. And this guy just has a very unusual
Speaker 2: appearance and an appearance you won't soon forget. Coming up
Speaker 2: after the news here here at the top of the hour,
Speaker 2: we will be joined by one really one of the
Speaker 2: great guests I have on my show, Cheryl Chumley, who
Speaker 2: is the online opinion editor at the Washington Times. And
Speaker 2: she's an author and a speaker, and Christian and a
Speaker 2: mother and just a great guest. And we will kick
Speaker 2: around a whole bunch of different stuff with her, so
Speaker 2: I certainly hope you can stick around for that. It's
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC,
Speaker 2: the talk station covering Trump's first one hundred days day,
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 13: Promises Made Promises.
Speaker 2: Kevin fifty five KRC, the talk station. This report is
Speaker 2: sponsored by a treatment. Fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas. Tuesday, It's tax Day,
Speaker 2: Got to get your taxes in and good morning at
Speaker 2: TATO five. Glad to be here. Brian Thomas taking the
Speaker 2: week off and I am here today Wednesday and and
Speaker 2: then I believe Kevin Gordon will be filling it on Friday,
Speaker 2: so we are all looking forward to that. We are
Speaker 2: reaching out to our guests right now. Cheryl Chumley is
Speaker 2: the online opinion editor and a commentary writer. She's an
Speaker 2: also an author, a speaker, a Christian mother and just
Speaker 2: an all round great guest and always want my pleasure
Speaker 2: to welcome Cheryl Chumley to the show. And Cheryl Chumley, well,
Speaker 2: welcome to Tax Day twenty twenty five. I'm sure you're
Speaker 2: you're you're feeling chipper ready to write that giant check
Speaker 2: to the federal.
Speaker 5: Government, aren't we?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 5: It's such a merit.
Speaker 2: Do you think we should have that the tax day
Speaker 2: should also be election day? People talk about that every
Speaker 2: single year, that you're always reminded of how much money
Speaker 2: you're sending to the government on this day every year.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, Sean McMahon, let's let's try and re
Speaker 2: establish contact with her, because that was that was not good.
Speaker 2: So Sean McMahon is going to make a phone call
Speaker 2: and and and get back with Cheryl. Hopefully we'll get
Speaker 2: we'll get a better line of better contact because that
Speaker 2: that was not good. That was not good at all.
Speaker 2: But as I mentioned, she is the online opinion editor
Speaker 2: at the Washington Times. She's a Christian, a writer, and
Speaker 2: just a fantastic person to talk to. And I think
Speaker 2: let's see if we got a better connection this time.
Speaker 2: And Cheryl Chumley, there you are, and we were talking
Speaker 2: about tax Day and yeah, and I always find it
Speaker 2: interesting this time of year. There's always those who suggest
Speaker 2: that election day should always be on on this day,
Speaker 2: on the fifteenth, so we're reminded of you know, people
Speaker 2: that were electing and how much money we're send into
Speaker 2: the government at the same time.
Speaker 15: Well, that certainly is one way to go about it.
Speaker 15: I actually think we should have a day of national
Speaker 15: mourning where we're all allowed to take a day off
Speaker 15: from mark and just sort of lick our own and reflect.
Speaker 2: Well, if college kids can take the day off because
Speaker 2: they don't like the way an election goes, certainly we
Speaker 2: can take the day off and you know more and
Speaker 2: all the money that we've parted with that goes to
Speaker 2: the federal government. Let me get your opinion. I want
Speaker 2: to get your opinion on this. The whole saga going
Speaker 2: on over the tariffs and China and all the rest
Speaker 2: of it, and not really all the ins and outs
Speaker 2: of the tariffs. But I think one of the things
Speaker 2: I find interesting about this is that there is such
Speaker 2: a difference of opinion, especially not just between the right
Speaker 2: and the left on this, but those who are on
Speaker 2: the right those There are so many people who support
Speaker 2: Trump that have come out with honest disagreements about his
Speaker 2: approach to tariffs, the way he's rolling this out, whether
Speaker 2: or not it's going to be successful. The opinions on
Speaker 2: this really run the entire spectrum, and I think that
Speaker 2: is a testament to at least the attempt honest debate
Speaker 2: that those of us on the right one a half.
Speaker 2: And it's to my way of thinking, it's refreshing in
Speaker 2: a way, because when it comes to the left, no
Speaker 2: matter what it is, we constantly see them circle the
Speaker 2: wagons and protect and recite the exact same narrative. But
Speaker 2: at least, you know, those of us on the right
Speaker 2: can honestly and openly state our disagreements with a particular policy,
Speaker 2: and and then you know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: move on and try and do it with you with
Speaker 2: with the ultimate goal being what's best for the country.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's honest debate based by each side, right, And
Speaker 15: I agree with you wholeheartedly that within the Republican Party,
Speaker 15: among the conservative community right now, there are very different
Speaker 15: opinions with what Trump is doing with the tariffs. But
Speaker 15: I am personally one hundred percent in favor of what
Speaker 15: he's doing because I'm not looking at my from k right,
Speaker 15: I'm not looking at what's going on.
Speaker 11: In Wall Street.
Speaker 15: I'm looking down the line the future of America, both
Speaker 15: national security and economic independence, and we need to bring
Speaker 15: back our manufacturing, particularly in certain key areas of the economies,
Speaker 15: back to America. And Donald Trump is really taking a
Speaker 15: courageous stand here by being a president who reco and
Speaker 15: is pushing forward for the internal disputes in his own party.
Speaker 15: Even so, it's really a long term strategy that's going
Speaker 15: to benefit America for decades.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The national media was trying to roll out a
Speaker 2: new narrative over the last few days, and I don't
Speaker 2: know how much traction this one is going to get,
Speaker 2: but they were trying to make the case that if
Speaker 2: Donald Trump brings back all this manufacturing into the United States,
Speaker 2: and Jonathan carl was essentially he used the term, are
Speaker 2: we going to become a nation of cobblers because you
Speaker 2: know these factories, you know, all they do is make
Speaker 2: is make cell phones, and they make Nike shoes, and
Speaker 2: as if you know, these are the kind of jobs
Speaker 2: that are beneath Americans and really don't you know, equate
Speaker 2: to their definition of the dignity of work, and that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump wants to belittle American people by having, you know,
Speaker 2: these types of factory jobs available for the American people.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to get much traction
Speaker 2: on that, on that narrative, but they certainly we were
Speaker 2: trying that out over the last couple of days.
Speaker 15: It's a desperate play, right to Dingish administration. You know,
Speaker 15: when you said that about a nation of cobblers, the first,
Speaker 15: the first thing that's sprung to my mind was so what.
Speaker 13: So what I mean?
Speaker 2: Work is work really and if you are an American.
Speaker 16: With impact in your mind, you don't mind putting in
Speaker 16: the time in all kinds of jobs. When I'm on
Speaker 16: my growing year, look at the jobs I held. I've
Speaker 16: worked in factories on assembly lines, I've worked in dry cleaners.
Speaker 15: I've worked some of the craft jobs out there. But
Speaker 15: that's part of being an American and learning the value
Speaker 15: of hard work and then when you do that, you
Speaker 15: realize your success.
Speaker 5: And it means more.
Speaker 15: Right, we're raising a generation of youth in America to
Speaker 15: look at work is if it's something dirty, is if
Speaker 15: it's something to be avoided. But that's not how it's
Speaker 15: supposed to be as part of the human experience, Right,
Speaker 15: You're supposed to work hard, and then when you achieve success,
Speaker 15: it means something. So bringing back manufacturing to America, first off,
Speaker 15: it's good for the country, but those are decent, high
Speaker 15: paying jobs. And with the also comes the sort of
Speaker 15: skilled craftsmanship that we used to have in America.
Speaker 2: Instead of cookie.
Speaker 15: Cutter, low paying wage you know, people who construction, people
Speaker 15: who throw stuff up. We have people who actually look
Speaker 15: at those trades with value and they develop a craftsmanship
Speaker 15: with it.
Speaker 3: That's all good for America.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all good. And when you look at it,
Speaker 2: there's so there's so many moving parts on this, and
Speaker 2: I think of a juggler, you know, And I've seen
Speaker 2: these jugglers at circuses and they've got you know, three
Speaker 2: balls and then ten balls and then fifteen balls, all
Speaker 2: one at the same time. And when I look at
Speaker 2: this situation. I sort of see that that that's the
Speaker 2: situation right now. Trump hasn't even been in office three
Speaker 2: months yet, and you've got all these moving parts that
Speaker 2: are going on, and Trump has set all these different
Speaker 2: things in motion, and things look like they're going one
Speaker 2: hundred different directions. But yet when you listen to the
Speaker 2: national media, they are of the opinion that none of
Speaker 2: this is working because we don't have any results yet.
Speaker 2: And when you talk about a giant ship that needs
Speaker 2: to be turned around, you don't get a more giant
Speaker 2: ship than the United States economy. And turning that around
Speaker 2: is going to take, I would suggest a lot, a
Speaker 2: lot longer than three months. And it is beyond ridiculous
Speaker 2: to sit there and try to convince people that we
Speaker 2: should be seeing bottom line results in such a short
Speaker 2: span of time.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Tromp has the brilliant strategy, right, is working as
Speaker 15: the puppet mass pulling a straight hair sur there.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 15: Then you've got time manga types in the meat just
Speaker 15: playing a whack a mole game of trying to gain
Speaker 15: hid every which way they can. And you have those
Speaker 15: in America who are worried about their own financial their
Speaker 15: own financial soundness, very valid, right, But they also have
Speaker 15: to understand that the media is purposely hyping the hysteria
Speaker 15: over what Donald Trump is doing and purposely ignoring the
Speaker 15: long term gains that his strategy will bring for political
Speaker 15: reasons simply to destroy this administration, destroy MAGA, and to
Speaker 15: go back to a time in America where it was
Speaker 15: a Chinese system of communist capitalism that was being steamrolled
Speaker 15: at the bequest of the World Economic Form through the
Speaker 15: White House, into America's economy.
Speaker 11: So there's a faction.
Speaker 15: In America that is purposely trying to use Donald Trump's
Speaker 15: strategy against him. I think most Americans, though, are on
Speaker 15: the side of what Donald Trump is doing because they
Speaker 15: see the sense. They see the sense of bringing back
Speaker 15: prescriptions right manufacturing to America, and what he's doing with
Speaker 15: chips one of the greatest things that I've seen come
Speaker 15: out of the White House in years. We need to
Speaker 15: bring back chips assembly and manufacturing to America. That is
Speaker 15: definitely a national security issue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, chips, rare, earth minerals, pharmaci, all the rest of it.
Speaker 2: We cannot be beholden to these companies and subject to
Speaker 2: the whims or supply chain issues, and you know, there's
Speaker 2: a China said the other day that it's going to
Speaker 2: put a pause or temporarily stop shipping rares minerals not
Speaker 2: only to the United States but to other countries around
Speaker 2: the world. And we just can't let ourselves fall victim
Speaker 2: to that sort of whim in the future. Cheryl Chumley,
Speaker 2: stay right there. We've got to get a quick break
Speaker 2: in here, and we will be back with you momentarily.
Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and do that, and we will
Speaker 2: continue on fifty five KRC, the Talk Station. Fifty five KRC,
Speaker 2: the Talk station. Are you looking for a Peaceful Place?
Speaker 2: For eight nineteen on this Tuesday morning, Dan Carroll for
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, continuing our conversation with Cheryl Chumley, the online
Speaker 2: opinion editor of The Washington Times. And Cheryl Chumley, did
Speaker 2: you happen to see the meeting in the Oval Office
Speaker 2: yesterday with the President of Al Salvador and Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is there? You know, he's got all the media in there,
Speaker 2: He's fielding questions and you know they're talking about this
Speaker 2: dude that got deported and all the rest of it.
Speaker 2: And Caitlin Collins is you know, trying to pin down
Speaker 2: Trump and I just thought it was great because you've
Speaker 2: got Marco Rubio in there, You've got Pambody in there,
Speaker 2: You've got Steven Miller in there, and Jay eve Ans
Speaker 2: was there, and Donald Trump is not afraid to toss
Speaker 2: it out to someone who may have more expertise than
Speaker 2: him to handle these different questions. And I thought the
Speaker 2: way Marco Rubio laid it out was just fantastic. And
Speaker 2: if you look at Marco Rubio, I think that guy's
Speaker 2: just been doing a great job.
Speaker 17: So far, hasn't he though. Okay, so first off, I
Speaker 17: didn't see it, but I've read the headline and I've
Speaker 17: read a little bit about it. But Marco Rubio is,
Speaker 17: without a doubt, one of the strongest members of Donald
Speaker 17: Trump's administration. And I just think back when he and
Speaker 17: Donald Trump we are going at it on the campaign trail.
Speaker 17: It's just it really speaks so high lee of both
Speaker 17: Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and many in the Republican
Speaker 17: Party itself who are able to push aside petty politics
Speaker 17: to come together for the greater good of America first.
Speaker 11: And it's just.
Speaker 17: It's amazing to see Marco Rubio defend this nation. He's
Speaker 17: strong he's dead on with his communication, his bullet points.
Speaker 17: He's unafraid and honestly, he's emerging as presidential material himself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wrote an op ed for the for Fox
Speaker 2: that that I read yesterday on the air, and it
Speaker 2: was it was just it's so plain spoken, it's so brilliant,
Speaker 2: it's so easy to understand, and it's uh that there's
Speaker 2: no equivocating what so on or whatsoever. And he's he's
Speaker 2: essentially saying, look, these are the policies of the United States,
Speaker 2: these are the policies of this president. And that is
Speaker 2: and these are the policies that we're going to follow.
Speaker 2: That's the bottom line, no ifs ands or butts. And
Speaker 2: I mean, he really is acquitting himself quite well and
Speaker 2: making the trumpet really I think making you know, it's
Speaker 2: like this. When Reagan was president, Reagan always talked about
Speaker 2: how it was important to surround yourself with people who
Speaker 2: are smarter than you in different areas because you can't
Speaker 2: be an expert on everything. And I think Trump, once
Speaker 2: he finally got that message, has really put a lot
Speaker 2: of good people around himself this time around.
Speaker 17: He has and sticking with Marco Rubio for a second
Speaker 17: you know, when he first emerged in politics and he
Speaker 17: made his presidential run and he was trying to move
Speaker 17: up the political ladder, he struck many times to me
Speaker 17: watching him as a little bit angry and sometimes even petty,
Speaker 17: a little bit uncontrolled with his emotions, too ready to
Speaker 17: get in the fray, to get in the dirt and
Speaker 17: so forth. And now it just seems like every time
Speaker 17: I hear him, see him, listen to his words, he
Speaker 17: seems very statesmanlike. And it's just it is refreshing. It's
Speaker 17: not just Marco Rubio. Donald Trump has really take some
Speaker 17: great people to surround himself with this time. And I
Speaker 17: think this is why he's having such great success, because
Speaker 17: the opposition sure hasn't turned down, right, the opposition is
Speaker 17: still as present and as vigorous as it was from
Speaker 17: his first administration.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw the other day a side by side
Speaker 2: video of Janet Yellen and then you know, talking about uh,
Speaker 2: you know, economic treasury policy. And then I saw, you know,
Speaker 2: the other side was Scott the scent. I mean, you
Speaker 2: talk about night and day. It's it could it couldn't
Speaker 2: have been any more different. I don't have you seen
Speaker 2: the video that Bill Maher put out after his dinner
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump and Kid Rock.
Speaker 17: I saw clips of it, not the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Ye's clip, but it's it's it's amazing. And I'm you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give props to Bill Maher for coming out
Speaker 2: and and talking honestly about what he saw at the
Speaker 2: White House and and what his interaction with Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is like. And I find it interesting that a couple
Speaker 2: of days after, you know, he know, he talked about
Speaker 2: his revelations and his time his conversations with Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: that he's being criticized from those on the left who
Speaker 2: are calling him a sellout or a useful idiot for
Speaker 2: Trump and a propaganda's for Trump because he's giving his
Speaker 2: honest assessment of what his time in the White House
Speaker 2: with Trump is. And I think this is, you know,
Speaker 2: even more of a reveal of what the left is
Speaker 2: really like when it comes to people being honest and
Speaker 2: trying to have an honest you know, they're always the
Speaker 2: ones to talk about we have to have an honest
Speaker 2: discussion or an honest conversation about these sorts of things.
Speaker 2: But when you try to do that, they're the ones
Speaker 2: that always do everything they can to shut it down, Yes.
Speaker 17: And I do agree that he does get, you know,
Speaker 17: kudos for him for meeting with Trump in the White
Speaker 17: House and then coming out and reporting accurately, even though
Speaker 17: it put his own prior views in a bad light
Speaker 17: on what he experienced at the White House. But on
Speaker 17: the other hand, I'm kind of you know, I look
Speaker 17: at him and I think, well, where were you all this?
Speaker 17: You know, Trump has an exactly changed. What happened is
Speaker 17: that he was willing right that Bill Maher himself was
Speaker 17: willing to give the guy a chance and to move
Speaker 17: past his own internal biases and step outside his own
Speaker 17: pro like bubble that has become the Democrat Party, a
Speaker 17: bunch of marching Marxists, all beating the same drum. Right,
Speaker 17: he was willing finally to give this president a chance.
Speaker 17: But had he been willing to do that in you know,
Speaker 17: twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, then he may have been
Speaker 17: seeing a different tune back then as well. So it's
Speaker 17: sort of like, yay, you know, good for you, but
Speaker 17: where have you been?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Good point, So Cheryl Tellley, we'll let you go.
Speaker 2: But before we do that, are you feeling Are you
Speaker 2: feeling better? Are you feeling more empowered as a woman today,
Speaker 2: now that Katy Perry and Gail King and Jeff Bezos'
Speaker 2: girlfriend took their trip up into space, and you know,
Speaker 2: with the historic flight of six women up in the
Speaker 2: space capsule, I'm.
Speaker 17: Actually feeling a little bit jealous. I wish I could
Speaker 17: have been on that place. I don't know about empowered more.
Speaker 2: Jealous Cheryld Chumley, always great having you on. I always
Speaker 2: appreciate it. And best of luck with all the books
Speaker 2: and all the other things you have going on. And
Speaker 2: until the next time we have a chance to talk again,
Speaker 2: I'll really look forward to it. But Cheryl Chumley, thank
Speaker 2: you as always.
Speaker 17: All right, thank you, Happy Easter, all right, I have you.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Cheryl Chumley of the Washington Times.
Speaker 2: On fifty five KRC, the Talk station, fifty five KRC,
Speaker 2: you do, fifty five KRC the Talk Station eight thirty
Speaker 2: on this Tuesday morning, Tax Day twenty twenty five. Dan
Speaker 2: Carroll hanging out for Brian Thomas and get to welcome
Speaker 2: in another great guest. Steve Gorham is the executive director
Speaker 2: of the Climate Science Coalition of America. He is the
Speaker 2: author of four books on energy, climate change, and sustainable development.
Speaker 2: He's got over one hundred thousand copies in print. His
Speaker 2: latest book is The Green Breakdown Becoming Renewable Energy Failure.
Speaker 2: And Steve gorm it is great once again to welcome
Speaker 2: you to the radio and fifty five KRC. How are
Speaker 2: you today, sir?
Speaker 11: Hey Dan, I'm doing great, great to join you on
Speaker 11: this text day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tax day. I hope you've got all your I'm
Speaker 2: sure you do. I'm sure you've got everything squared away
Speaker 2: and you're ready. Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely, I did.
Speaker 11: Way too much. But well, we have huge, huge changes
Speaker 11: going on in climate policy and energy right now, just
Speaker 11: big big things.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, before we get to that, let me
Speaker 2: ask you a question. You know, we live in historic time, sure,
Speaker 2: And of course we had the spectacle yesterday of the
Speaker 2: Blue Origin rocketing into space and the six women up
Speaker 2: there doing god knows what they were, and we've got
Speaker 2: the audio of what they were doing up there. But
Speaker 2: before the before the rocket took off, CBS was doing
Speaker 2: an interview with a former astronaut, doctor May Jamison, and
Speaker 2: one of the comments she made talking about the importance
Speaker 2: of this historic space flight was that that she claimed,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how the spaceflight figures into this.
Speaker 2: But she claimed that the Earth already no longer has
Speaker 2: an atmosphere that supports our life form. And I'm looking
Speaker 2: at that and I'm thinking about that, Well, if the
Speaker 2: Earth is not supporting our life form, how is it
Speaker 2: that you and I are here in order to have
Speaker 2: this this discussion today, and that she's out there still
Speaker 2: drawing breath.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm not sure what she meant what she meant
Speaker 11: about that, that's I mean, she did she mentioned climate
Speaker 11: at all. Is that what she was alluding to? Because
Speaker 11: but again, while she was.
Speaker 2: Talking about how you know, we're all humans and we're
Speaker 2: all connected to the Earth, and you know, when you
Speaker 2: go up and view the Earth from you know, wherever
Speaker 2: they were reviewing it from, you know, it makes it
Speaker 2: makes you realize how fragile the Earth is and that
Speaker 2: the you know that somehow we you know, we just
Speaker 2: don't aren't able to support life here on Earth anymore.
Speaker 11: Humans certainly have had a big, a big impact on
Speaker 11: the surface of the Earth. Of course, we've we have
Speaker 11: farmed it, and we have cut down force. We've done
Speaker 11: a lot of things to transform the surface of the Earth.
Speaker 11: I don't know if the atmosphere has changed that much.
Speaker 11: So you know, even the amounts that that humans emit
Speaker 11: in terms of carbon dioxide is only about one or
Speaker 11: two percent of well it's it's less than five percent
Speaker 11: of the CO two that nature puts into the atmosphere
Speaker 11: by itself. So we're pretty small in terms of what's
Speaker 11: going on with the atmosphere. So I don't really understand
Speaker 11: her comments there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, as CBS was also making the point that
Speaker 2: scientific experiments we're being conducted on this flight. You know,
Speaker 2: the whole thing lasted eleven minutes. I don't know how
Speaker 2: to Are you aware of any scientific experiments that can
Speaker 2: be conducted in that spenting time?
Speaker 11: That's a short one. Well, they probably had some electronic
Speaker 11: sensors that were sensing something, but you know, uh, one
Speaker 11: of the things mister Trump has said is that in
Speaker 11: his administration is a NASA now and this wasn't a
Speaker 11: NASA thing. I think it was a private thing. But
Speaker 11: NASA must stick to space and and and flights into space,
Speaker 11: and they're no longer able to do climate anymore. Really
Speaker 11: a tremendous change, and they're cutting about two thirds of
Speaker 11: the budget that's associated anyway with climate change. At NASA.
Speaker 11: So there's just some huge, huge policy changes in process.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and speaking of Trump, Trump put out a an
Speaker 2: executive order that deals with American energy and it talks
Speaker 2: about overreach and and things like that. How does that
Speaker 2: play into the whole the whole scope of of climate
Speaker 2: policy in the United States.
Speaker 11: Yeah, this just happened last week, and this is a
Speaker 11: big deal. The President issued an executive order called Protecting
Speaker 11: American Energy from State Overreach, and he said that that
Speaker 11: state laws we're seeking to regulate energy beyond their constitutional
Speaker 11: statutory authorities, and he actually called them extortion laws, and
Speaker 11: he mentioned New York, in Vermont, in California, and he
Speaker 11: directed the US Attorney General of Pam Bondi to identify
Speaker 11: these laws that were burdening domestic energy resources or may
Speaker 11: or may not be unconstitutional, preempted by federal law, or
Speaker 11: otherwise unenforceable, within sixty days, and to recommend actions to
Speaker 11: change this. So we're actually going to have the federal
Speaker 11: government that are suing the states for their climate laws.
Speaker 11: This has not happened to my knowledge, to any extent
Speaker 11: over the last years. Really a huge change, and we
Speaker 11: haven't heard much about it in the press.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, if the press has are away anything that
Speaker 2: doesn't fit their particular climate narrative, we won't hear much
Speaker 2: about it at all. I want to ask you about
Speaker 2: solar panels and windmills, but we got to get to
Speaker 2: a quick break here, So Steve Gorham, if you would
Speaker 2: just hang on and we'll get right back to you
Speaker 2: as we roll on on fifty five KRC, the Talk station.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station, the.
Speaker 2: Talk station, continuing our conversation with Steve Gorham, Executive director
Speaker 2: of the Climate Science Coalition of America and Steve Gorham.
Speaker 2: One of the things that Donald Trump has done is
Speaker 2: the imposed tariffs on China. And this is going to
Speaker 2: have a pretty major effect on China because they send
Speaker 2: us so many solar panels and so many elements that
Speaker 2: are involved in the construction of an operating of the
Speaker 2: windmills and the turbines and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is gonna be the biggest impact. He has
Speaker 11: kept ten percent tariffs on every nation. He also has
Speaker 11: twenty five percent on steel, aluminum, and automobiles. He's pretty
Speaker 11: much backed off on everything else. I think he's negotiating
Speaker 11: there negotiating with more than one hundred countries now over
Speaker 11: the next ninety days. But China has not said they
Speaker 11: want to negotiate. They've just retaliated with terraffs, and so
Speaker 11: now China and the US both have terrors over one
Speaker 11: hundred percent on imports and exports, I think, And this
Speaker 11: is really, as you say, this is going to hammer
Speaker 11: a renewable energy equipment. Eighty percent of the world's solar
Speaker 11: cells and panels are made by China or they are
Speaker 11: using components from China. Also, these big grid scale batteries
Speaker 11: that California and New York and some other states want
Speaker 11: to put in place to back up wind and solar,
Speaker 11: most of those batteries or at least the metals for
Speaker 11: the batteries come from China. And so these prices are
Speaker 11: going to skyrocket. It's going to have a huge impact
Speaker 11: and just another problem with green equipment, green energy. It's
Speaker 11: just going to stop stop by green energy and its tracks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with all the subsidies that are being cut
Speaker 2: off as well, we are seeing and the reports still
Speaker 2: come int almost daily of this wind farm that is
Speaker 2: shutting down, this solar panel project that has run out
Speaker 2: of money, and I don't know if I've had a
Speaker 2: chance to ask you about this, but I know I
Speaker 2: read an article not that long ago talking about once
Speaker 2: these solar panels come to the end of their life,
Speaker 2: that we really don't have a good way to dispose
Speaker 2: of these solar panels because I guess they're necessarily going
Speaker 2: to have to go into a landfill. But there's so
Speaker 2: many toxic chemicals that are involved in producing these solar
Speaker 2: panels that eventually these things leach out into the ground
Speaker 2: and calls all sorts of other problems as well well.
Speaker 11: I think I think most of our landfills now have
Speaker 11: canvas and other things to prevent stuff from leaching. But
Speaker 11: the amount of waste really is huge.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 11: It's when you're using hydrocarbons, you're basically burning up the
Speaker 11: fuel and there's nothing left except the water, vapor and
Speaker 11: the carbon acid that goes in the atmosphere. And you
Speaker 11: don't replace power plants, you know, maybe once every fifty
Speaker 11: sixty years, but if you're replacing the solar panels every
Speaker 11: twenty years. Now in California, for example, our federal agencies
Speaker 11: have said it costs about twenty to twenty five dollars
Speaker 11: to try and recycle materials from a solar panel, but
Speaker 11: you only get about four dollars worth of useful metals
Speaker 11: out of it, and if you were to send it
Speaker 11: to the landfill and only cost one or two dollars.
Speaker 11: So nobody's going to recycle these things unless there's huge
Speaker 11: state or federal subsidies to do so, they're going to
Speaker 11: send them to landfills. And so as we put more
Speaker 11: and more of these in, we send them to landfills.
Speaker 11: And you know, I sent you a little image of
Speaker 11: this picture in New York, which is also in my
Speaker 11: last book, Green Breakdown. There's a congressman standing next to
Speaker 11: this huge pile of wind turbine blades, which is thirty
Speaker 11: forty feet high in New York. And when the wind
Speaker 11: turbines blades we're out, they have to top them up
Speaker 11: or burn them. They're too big for landfills. It's it's
Speaker 11: really a significant problem that is getting bigger and bigger
Speaker 11: as we put more of these things in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking I'm looking at it right now. It is.
Speaker 2: It is an astonishing photograph, and I think, really it
Speaker 2: gets to the point of just the absolute mountain of
Speaker 2: waste that these things create all. Have you been surprised
Speaker 2: at all by the amount of waste, fraud and abuse
Speaker 2: that Lee Zeldon has uncovered at the EPA.
Speaker 11: Well, I you know, it really is amazing. And you know,
Speaker 11: mister Musk and his doage group has gone through a
Speaker 11: lot of those and I just I just wrote an
Speaker 11: article about the Department of Defense. Pete Haigseth has said,
Speaker 11: we do not do climate change crap, and he's cutting
Speaker 11: out all the climate programs. But to listen to some
Speaker 11: of these programs. They published a paper in twenty twenty
Speaker 11: two lauding the things they did in they did in climate.
Speaker 11: This was the US Navy lauding the difference different things
Speaker 11: they did for the climates. And one of them was
Speaker 11: studying climate change in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam with
Speaker 11: the government of Vietnam. This is a Navy project. Another
Speaker 11: one was a California organic recycling and composting Another one
Speaker 11: was a partnership with the Armed Forces of Ghana to
Speaker 11: combat vector born diseases. This is the United States Navy
Speaker 11: putting money out for these things. None of these things
Speaker 11: improved Navy military readiness in any way, of course, And
Speaker 11: this is just and you know, I just found this.
Speaker 11: Look at online that stuff that the Navy was publishing.
Speaker 11: There's this, there's this analyst amounts of this government money
Speaker 11: that's going into stuff that doesn't do anything really useful
Speaker 11: as far as military purposes.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, it wasn't that long ago. We had
Speaker 2: a commander in chief and a chairman of the Joint
Speaker 2: Chiefs of Staff tell our graduating cadets at the Army
Speaker 2: and our midshipman at the Navy that the number one
Speaker 2: threat to America was climate change. You know that, never
Speaker 2: mind Russia, never mind North Korea, never mind China, it's
Speaker 2: climate change. And I love this chart you put out
Speaker 2: of US military emissions by service and equipment type, and
Speaker 2: you know, you've got the Air Force has got fifty
Speaker 2: six percent of emissions, and then you know, different aircraft
Speaker 2: than the Navy. And then you got a little small
Speaker 2: sliver down there with the Marine Corps only puts out
Speaker 2: five percent of our emissions. That would figure that. You know,
Speaker 2: they're probably the most efficient out of all the military services.
Speaker 2: And they've got you know, the I guess, the smallest
Speaker 2: carbon footprint you can possibly have.
Speaker 11: That came from the Department of Defense and President Biden
Speaker 11: hit them all marching down this We're going to do
Speaker 11: climate stuff. I mean, the Army even was going to
Speaker 11: take all of its field technical vehicles, including the heavy ones,
Speaker 11: including tanks, and run them on electric engines. And they
Speaker 11: also they were developing battlefield chargers. If you can imagine,
Speaker 11: they're going to drive chargers out, sit them somewhere and
Speaker 11: have these tanks sitting next to them for an hour
Speaker 11: or two at a time. I mean, this stuff is fantasy.
Speaker 11: It does nothing for our military capability. It's just there
Speaker 11: for climates. And uh and Pete higgstuff is cutting all
Speaker 11: this stuff out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank god. I don't I don't know how
Speaker 2: anyone in their right mind could look at that and
Speaker 2: in a practical sense think that that that that is
Speaker 2: a good idea. And you know, Steve Gornam, I mean
Speaker 2: that that's the thing to me, with so much of
Speaker 2: this stuff that in a practical sense and when you know,
Speaker 2: when you talk about the economics of it, and you
Speaker 2: you know, and everything else that goes into all the
Speaker 2: you know, the different wind turbines and the solar panels
Speaker 2: and green energy this and the biofuels and everything else
Speaker 2: that and on on an economic sense. You know, none
Speaker 2: of this stuff exists but for government subsidies. And once
Speaker 2: you wipe those out, well, these these things they fold
Speaker 2: like a chief suit.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we're gonna have a lot of bankruptcies too with
Speaker 11: all this stuff. As you say, cutting funding across all
Speaker 11: these different industry, they're also laying off a lot of headcount.
Speaker 11: I mentioned NASA and Noah, but they're coming headcount. The
Speaker 11: Environmental Protection Agency, they just shut down a museum at
Speaker 11: the Environmental Protection Agency. They had their own museum, but
Speaker 11: it costs per visitor. It was costing them over three
Speaker 11: hundred dollars because they didn't have any visitors. The museum
Speaker 11: was expensive. Well, anyway, lies eld In, the shuttle it down.
Speaker 11: The Federal Energy Management Agency is shutting down their climate
Speaker 11: programs as well. And if you have anything, any research
Speaker 11: project that says climate on it, that is going away
Speaker 11: in the federal government. Mister Trump is completely transforming at
Speaker 11: top to bottom.
Speaker 2: So with your book is green breakdown? The coming renewable
Speaker 2: energy failure? Are we already here? Have we reached that
Speaker 2: stage already with the renewable energy failure? Is that upon
Speaker 2: us right now?
Speaker 11: Now? This is quicker than I expected. I thought this
Speaker 11: would take several decades, and it probably will around the world,
Speaker 11: but mister Trump is accelerating this green breakdown. It's a
Speaker 11: very readable book. It has the science, economics, and also
Speaker 11: got one hundred and fifty color side bars. One of
Speaker 11: those is this headline Britain's advice to stop showering to
Speaker 11: conserve energy, and there was also a minister in Switzerland
Speaker 11: who said that people should shower with a friend to
Speaker 11: conserve energy. But you know, these are the crazy things
Speaker 11: that are going on. But the book captures all this
Speaker 11: funny stuff and gives people the real background they need
Speaker 11: to see the crazy state the world is in and
Speaker 11: how it's going to change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you and I always talk when these
Speaker 2: world climate gatherings take place, you know, under the auspices
Speaker 2: of the United Nations or whatever organization it is. If
Speaker 2: the United States no longer is going to participate in
Speaker 2: these sort of events, do they have any impact, any
Speaker 2: meaning at all? If the United States isn't there.
Speaker 11: Well, right off the bat, there's about eight billion dollars
Speaker 11: a year that comes out of it. Mister Trump has
Speaker 11: shut that off. As part of the USAID they were
Speaker 11: giving money, and then the US federal government was giving
Speaker 11: money that's been shut off. And it is a big thing.
Speaker 11: And I do think that this is different than his
Speaker 11: first term. I think the world is ready. By the way,
Speaker 11: a friend of mine, doctor Benny Piyser in Europe, says,
Speaker 11: the people are just jaded with his climate stuff. He
Speaker 11: thinks more than half the population over there doesn't believe
Speaker 11: what leaders is telling him anymore. So I think we're
Speaker 11: about to see a big revolution. People are going to
Speaker 11: get out of the climate business. We're going to get
Speaker 11: back to sensible energy policy. But it is going to
Speaker 11: take quite a bit more for this to occur.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, and I don't know if you want
Speaker 2: to answer this question or not, but with all this
Speaker 2: money that was changing hands, what percentage of that was
Speaker 2: finding its way into the pockets of a lot of
Speaker 2: these people who promote this sort of thing.
Speaker 11: Well, there is a bunch of that, I think, Leezelden
Speaker 11: and the EPA has pointed out that there was something
Speaker 11: like twenty billion dollars that the EPA granted in the
Speaker 11: last couple of months of the Trump administry two a
Speaker 11: number of non governmental organizations to do climate stuff. It
Speaker 11: went to I think the City Bank or somebody. There
Speaker 11: really wasn't a lot of audit on it or tracking,
Speaker 11: just a big shoveling of money. So you know, I've
Speaker 11: always said the biggest, the bigger government gets, the more
Speaker 11: waste you have. And we really need a lean government.
Speaker 11: We need to get back to the markets and let
Speaker 11: companies do their sorts of thing. And these these programs
Speaker 11: that forced everybody to do certain things to try and
Speaker 11: save the climate are really very foolish.
Speaker 2: All right, well, Steve Gorham, with that, we will let
Speaker 2: you go. If people want to find out more about
Speaker 2: you and the Climate Science Coalition of America, how do
Speaker 2: they do that?
Speaker 11: Go to my website Steve Gorham dot com. G O
Speaker 11: R E H A M. I'll send them a signed
Speaker 11: copy of any of my four books they can order.
Speaker 11: They can also get them on Amazon and there are
Speaker 11: e books available as well.
Speaker 2: Steve Gorham always appreciate the time, Thank you, sir, and
Speaker 2: we'll do it again before too long.
Speaker 11: Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Steve Gorham, the client the
Speaker 2: Climate Science Coalition of America. A little late for a
Speaker 2: break here on fifty five krc DE Talk.
Speaker 5: Station fifty five krc.
Speaker 2: Well, just about one minute left to go here, and
Speaker 2: I want to thank all the great guests I had today.
Speaker 2: James Bogan was here and we talked about some local stuff.
Speaker 2: I may have Ken Cober on tomorrow to talk about
Speaker 2: this this fifteen to fifteen year old kid out there
Speaker 2: running around with a gun and allegedly killing people, and
Speaker 2: apparently he's had multiple multiple contacts with the juvenile system,
Speaker 2: And I mean, is there anything we can do about
Speaker 2: that at all? I don't know, So we'll kick that
Speaker 2: around with Ken Cober tomorrow. But I want to thanks James,
Speaker 2: James Bogan, Cheryl Chumley from the Washington Times, and then
Speaker 2: Steve warm from the Climate Coalition of America. Just always
Speaker 2: great to have those fox with those folks on Sean McMahon,
Speaker 2: Thank you for everything. We will see you tomorrow, bright
Speaker 2: and early, five am. And until then, have a great day.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five krc B
