Speaker 1: Seven hundred w l W. It's twelve oh nine. I'm
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for the great American Bill Cunningham. Glad
Speaker 1: to be here, Glad you are here as well. A
Speaker 1: ton of stuff to get to today. My buddy Daniel
Speaker 1: Turner is going to be joining us in a two
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, and we're going to talk about what I
Speaker 1: think is really one of the swampiest of swamp things
Speaker 1: that we have ever seen, and that is aid you
Speaker 1: are us A aid us A A I D or
Speaker 1: us A I D the money, the money that goes
Speaker 1: out of there and then and of course it's causing
Speaker 1: liberal Democrats to uh to blow a gasket and melt
Speaker 1: down completely. So we'll have that in the two o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: Then one hour from now, my buddy Michael Monks from
Speaker 1: the mean streets in Los Angeles, we'll be here. I
Speaker 1: want I wanted to get an update on what's happening
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. I think the why fires it contained.
Speaker 1: It was a wild weekend in Los Angeles, people blocking
Speaker 1: the streets talking about I guess they want more rights
Speaker 1: for illegals in this country, more rights for illegals in
Speaker 1: California and Los Angeles saying, and here's the thing. They're
Speaker 1: saying that that they want to stay in America, but
Speaker 1: yet they they burn the American flag. So they walk
Speaker 1: around waving the flag of their home country, but yet
Speaker 1: they burn the flag of the country that they want
Speaker 1: to stay in. Does that make any sense to you?
Speaker 1: It doesn't make much sense to me. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that with Michael Monks in one hour from now.
Speaker 1: But right now, the main man from the FOP here
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati is Ken Kober, and he is joining us
Speaker 1: now because in about thirty minutes from now, or really
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes from now, a meeting is going to
Speaker 1: start at City Hall. And the Vice Mayor was on
Speaker 1: earlier this morning talking about how there are a lot
Speaker 1: of concerns among the immigrant community in Cincinnati should ICE
Speaker 1: raids and ICE and federal agents begin walking the streets
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. And what I have to say to them
Speaker 1: is that, look, if you're in the country and you're
Speaker 1: here legally, I don't think you have a problem. I
Speaker 1: don't think you have anything to worry about. If you're
Speaker 1: here illegally now, then you might have something to worry about.
Speaker 1: But Ken Cober is the main man at the FOP
Speaker 1: and Ken Cober, Welcome again to seven hundred wiw.
Speaker 2: Hi Dan, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you're here. We've got first first of all,
Speaker 1: before we talk about this meeting and what might may
Speaker 1: or may not happen as it regards ice and ice
Speaker 1: rays and things like that, do you have a sense,
Speaker 1: based on your experience that here in Cincinnati that we
Speaker 1: have major issues with illegals in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to conflate the two. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I think by and large, the American people, the good
Speaker 1: people of Cincinnati, have no issues with immigrants being here
Speaker 1: in the city, starting businesses, earning a living, earning money,
Speaker 1: paying taxes, the whole nine yards. Immigration is great. You know,
Speaker 1: the people that I've met from other countries that are
Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati are just our outstanding people, wonderful people.
Speaker 1: But do you have a sense that we when it
Speaker 1: comes to people being in this city illegally? Do you
Speaker 1: have a sense at all that we have a major
Speaker 1: issue a minor issue? Where would you put that on, say,
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten, What kind of
Speaker 1: issues do we have here in Cincinnati with people who
Speaker 1: are who are not in the country legally.
Speaker 3: I would say it's probably immoderate. I do know we
Speaker 3: had just earlier in January, the beginning of January, we
Speaker 3: had an officer that was dispatched to a radio run
Speaker 3: that ends up getting in a physical alter case and
Speaker 3: gets punched by a suspect who then they turned they
Speaker 3: find out that he's not here legally. So it is
Speaker 3: becoming increasing into some of these officers that they are
Speaker 3: encountering more people that aren't here legally, that are breaking
Speaker 3: the law, and that's going to be an issue that's
Speaker 3: going to be for a very long while.
Speaker 2: I suspect here.
Speaker 1: Five or six days ago, the Mayor of Cincinnati, and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I think the police chief of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati indicated that since Cincinnati is a sanctuary city, that
Speaker 1: there would not be cooperation with ice or ice raids
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. Since then, the mayor the
Speaker 1: police chief have both come out and said that they
Speaker 1: intend to follow the law. There's a quote from you
Speaker 1: on the Fox nineteen website, and they're quoting you as
Speaker 1: saying that the mayor adopted a policy that requires law
Speaker 1: enforcement to break the oath to the Ohio and the
Speaker 1: United States constitutions. So are you glad that there has
Speaker 1: been this, uh, this shift in in I guess stated
Speaker 1: policy from the mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: You know last week when this all started, you know,
Speaker 3: the mayor did an interview and he said that the
Speaker 3: Cincinni Police are not going to cooperate with ICE. That's
Speaker 3: when I reacted to it, put out a press release
Speaker 3: saying that it is our oath of office that we have
Speaker 3: a duty to do this. I had officers calling me saying,
Speaker 3: so if I drive down the street and I see
Speaker 3: somebody from ICE and they're fighting with somebody, if I
Speaker 3: help them, am I going to get in trouble?
Speaker 2: And that was the message that was originally sent to
Speaker 2: the mayor.
Speaker 3: After I did a press release, he and I discussed
Speaker 3: it further, uh, and then the mayor decided to come
Speaker 3: out and say, no, you know what we are going
Speaker 3: to cooperate is that's what are the law says that
Speaker 3: we have to do. So now I'm glad he changed
Speaker 3: his mind, because there was certainly some confusion with some
Speaker 3: of our officers as too.
Speaker 2: You know, are we going to get in trouble if
Speaker 2: we do this?
Speaker 3: But you know, we also have a duty to help
Speaker 3: these officers, you know, their federal officers.
Speaker 2: We have to do these things because our says we will.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that surprised me, I
Speaker 1: think more than anything else was of teachers in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: public schools and they talked about that after the election
Speaker 1: or I guess after the the swearing in of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: that that attendance at schools dropped off dramatically. That there
Speaker 1: were a lot of people in a lot of the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati public schools that express fear concerns about actually going
Speaker 1: to school or things like that, or maybe going to
Speaker 1: work or going to a place of worship. Do you
Speaker 1: think that those fears are founded in reality or are
Speaker 1: they exaggerated by what people are seeing reported on the
Speaker 1: news and what they know, what they might hear on
Speaker 1: the street or maybe social media.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fear mongering. You know, no one's going to
Speaker 3: be going into a school and fucking second graders out
Speaker 3: of a classroom so they can deport them.
Speaker 2: That's silly.
Speaker 3: You see what's going on around this country with these
Speaker 3: ice raids, and every one of them are they're targeting
Speaker 3: violent people that they're trying to get out of the
Speaker 3: United States because they're the ones that are causing crime
Speaker 3: and they're already here illegally. This isn't just a let's
Speaker 3: go door to door, you know, let let's let's go
Speaker 3: to a church and we're gonna we're gonna remove these
Speaker 3: people because they're in a place of worship.
Speaker 2: That's just not happening.
Speaker 1: Give me a sense of how you envision Let's say,
Speaker 1: you know, you get you get a notice, or one
Speaker 1: day Ice shows up and they're they're knocking on the
Speaker 1: door of a District one headquarters and saying, hey, we
Speaker 1: need you guys about to help us for a little
Speaker 1: bit here. Give me a sense of how you envision
Speaker 1: these encounters happening. I think there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: who look at this and have a sense that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to be walking along the street
Speaker 1: minding my own business. Guys in black hoods are going
Speaker 1: to jump out, slap the handcuffs on me. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be shoved into a van, and I will never be
Speaker 1: seen or heard of again. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people sort of have that, you know, that that cloak
Speaker 1: and deg or idea of the way this is all
Speaker 1: going to go down. When I think of Cincinnati Police,
Speaker 1: I think of professionalism. I think of that you do
Speaker 1: everything you can to treat people the right way. But
Speaker 1: when when you when you sort of envision these scenarios
Speaker 1: of how these encounters are going to go what? What?
Speaker 1: What do you see? How do you see these things
Speaker 1: going down?
Speaker 3: So if ICE comes in, they're not going to ask
Speaker 3: us to go and try to verify whether somebody's here
Speaker 3: legally or not.
Speaker 2: You know, we routinely work with other federal agencies.
Speaker 3: I go back to the time that I spent in
Speaker 3: our Fugitive Unit, and you know, routinely, you know, FBI
Speaker 3: would come in and say, look, we have twenty search
Speaker 3: ones that we were going to serve here in Cincinnati
Speaker 3: as it relates to some you know, crime thing that
Speaker 3: they're investigating, and they come and ask local law enforcement
Speaker 3: to come and help them because.
Speaker 2: They are not aware of the area.
Speaker 3: They don't know, you know, tactically, what would be the
Speaker 3: best way to go to this place? And I should
Speaker 3: be the same way. I'm a I'm at training right
Speaker 3: now with police officers from twenty different states, and as
Speaker 3: I've talked to them because I'm curious to see how
Speaker 3: this work.
Speaker 2: Not one of them has.
Speaker 3: Said ICE has even asked them, really, you know, to
Speaker 3: come in otherwise, unless you know, most of these raids
Speaker 3: that are being done are solely being done by federal agencies.
Speaker 2: But it was just it was a statement that was.
Speaker 3: Made by the mayor that created a lot of confusion
Speaker 3: in our police department because they're like, well, what if
Speaker 3: they do ask us for help? You know, if they're
Speaker 3: going to go serve a warrant for somebody that's wanted
Speaker 3: for murder, you know, we have to go help them.
Speaker 3: And that was kind of what created a bunch of
Speaker 3: this misinformation about what our role would be. But it
Speaker 3: is completely the role of ICE to go and to
Speaker 3: investigate whether somebody's here illegally and to take that action.
Speaker 3: We would be nothing more than a support role.
Speaker 1: Do Cincinnati police already have a pretty good idea of
Speaker 1: who is here, what immigrants are here legitimately, and which
Speaker 1: ones are not?
Speaker 3: I would say it's likely now. I mean if the
Speaker 3: average beat officer they don't know, because they don't. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's not like they're going to stop them and go, hey,
Speaker 3: are you here illegally?
Speaker 4: Are you here legally?
Speaker 3: Those kind of things just don't go on, you know,
Speaker 3: And that's that's why I think that all this fear
Speaker 3: mongering of what's going to happen is is what's really
Speaker 3: creating a lot of this chaos right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's something that's that's not the top of
Speaker 1: your agenda every day. I would imagine just you know,
Speaker 1: the routine things like you know, fighting crime, preventing crime
Speaker 1: from happening, making sure that people aren't victimized by ABC
Speaker 1: or D is probably the things that are at the
Speaker 1: top of your agenda rather than who is in the
Speaker 1: country legally and who's not.
Speaker 3: Absolutely the agenda the Cincinnti Police Department is to provide
Speaker 3: safety and security for the citizens and the visitors that
Speaker 3: come here to Cincinnati. Now, if that means that there's
Speaker 3: somebody that's on a radar, that's here illegally that is
Speaker 3: making Cincinnati a more violent place, then they're going to
Speaker 3: be on our radar, regardless if they're here legally or not.
Speaker 2: And those are the people that are going to be arrested.
Speaker 3: We have got to make sure that Cincinnati is as
Speaker 3: safe as it can possibly be, notwithstanding your immigration status.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when when Cincinnati police arrests someone or encounter someone,
Speaker 1: and you know, whether it's a traffic stop, you know,
Speaker 1: whether you know you're witnessing a crime in progress, and
Speaker 1: really for almost any reason under the sun. At what
Speaker 1: point in the process do you do you get to
Speaker 1: their citizenship status? Where where along the process does that happen?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if you've made an arrest, then you
Speaker 3: of course you have to identify them, you know, and
Speaker 3: when they start going well, I don't have a driver's license,
Speaker 3: I don't have a social Security number, you know, I
Speaker 3: don't have any of these things, that's what certainly is
Speaker 3: going to alert you to they're likely not here illegally.
Speaker 3: And then that's when typically you know, they end up
Speaker 3: going to jail, and then you know that. I mean,
Speaker 3: I've had officers faw me before and go listen, I've
Speaker 3: never dealt with ICE. How do I do this? And
Speaker 3: they contact Ice and then ICE handles it for there.
Speaker 3: It's really as simple as this, and I don't think
Speaker 3: this person's here I legally, it goes off the ICE
Speaker 3: and then ICE does whatever Ice does, and these officers
Speaker 3: don't have any further contact with these things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, generally speaking, how would you say the relationship is
Speaker 1: between Cincinnati police and the legitimate immigrant community that where
Speaker 1: communities that we have here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we have a we have a immigration
Speaker 3: officer that works to try to help these folks, whether
Speaker 3: it's through the legal process, whether it's you know, to
Speaker 3: be able to get them support if that's what they need.
Speaker 3: You know, it's said, there are plenty of people that
Speaker 3: come to Cincinnati that are doing it the right way,
Speaker 3: and that's fantastic. That's what this country was founded on.
Speaker 3: But those that are not here illegally, and especially those
Speaker 3: that are here illegally that are breaking laws, are the
Speaker 3: ones that need to be the focus.
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, Ken Kobra I talk. So this is
Speaker 1: an issue that I talk so much about on this
Speaker 1: radio station. And one of the things I see is
Speaker 1: that these non governmental organizations, these NGOs that are raking
Speaker 1: in millions and millions of dollars. By the way, but
Speaker 1: that gravy train is coming to an end now that
Speaker 1: now that Trump is in charge. But I've seen so
Speaker 1: much reporting on how these NGOs have counseled people that
Speaker 1: come into the country under questionable circumstances and tell them, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, how to avoid federal scrutiny, how to avoid
Speaker 1: local scrutiny, how to sort of get around the system,
Speaker 1: how to get your hands on on government benefits without
Speaker 1: really going through the process, or you know, making sure
Speaker 1: that you get what you need and uh and still
Speaker 1: managed to stay under the radar. Is is stuff like
Speaker 1: that helpful? Or is that does that make your job
Speaker 1: a lot harder?
Speaker 3: It's just ridiculous that this is even going on. You're
Speaker 3: you're encouraging people to break the law. And we have
Speaker 3: enough that are here legally. We have enough American citizens
Speaker 3: that are in need of help for the government. Why
Speaker 3: are we trying to overstrain our government and our resources
Speaker 3: with people that aren't here legally, that don't have any
Speaker 3: interest in doing this the right way.
Speaker 2: That's the biggest problem that I had with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean, you know, I looked, I looked
Speaker 1: to the north and the and the sheriff here, CHARMONYE. McGuffey,
Speaker 1: has pretty much said the same thing that when it comes,
Speaker 1: you know, if the if these ice raids do come
Speaker 1: to pass in Hamilton County, that she'll follow the law.
Speaker 1: You've got, you know, Sheriff Richard Jones and Butler County
Speaker 1: who's more than eager to to get the ball rolling
Speaker 1: and get the illegals out of his county. Uh, when
Speaker 1: the time comes, do you think you'll have any notification,
Speaker 1: get any heads up, you know, be able to participate
Speaker 1: in a meaningful way when you know if and when
Speaker 1: these these raids do happen here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: I think the only way that that's going to be
Speaker 3: likely is is if they in fact.
Speaker 2: Need our help.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I do understand that around the country
Speaker 3: they're working independently where they're not straining your local resources,
Speaker 3: they're not really asking for local help. So I mean,
Speaker 3: if the time comes and they do need help, then
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's something that they'll probably give us advanced
Speaker 3: notice for.
Speaker 1: All right, And with that, Ken Cober, that our time
Speaker 1: is gone. As always, great to have you on, keep
Speaker 1: up the great work, and we'll talk to you again
Speaker 1: before too long.
Speaker 2: Sounds good, Dan, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Ken Cober from the FOP,
Speaker 1: And and there you have it. If if you are
Speaker 1: in the country legally, in Cincinnati, legally and not causing
Speaker 1: any problems, by and large, you have very little, if
Speaker 1: anything to worry about when it comes to enforcing the
Speaker 1: executive orders that come out of the White House. Twelve
Speaker 1: twenty four, Dan Carolyn for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Back on the Big One, seven hundred WLW, twelve thirty eight,
Speaker 1: Dan Carolyn for Bill Cunningham. As we roll on until
Speaker 1: three o'clock this afternoon, Glad to be here. Glad you
Speaker 1: are here as well. Big Dave of the broadcast heriff
Speaker 1: is running things in the seven under WLW command center.
Speaker 1: I always appreciate him being here. So we just heard
Speaker 1: from Ken Kober and the I guess the meeting is
Speaker 1: underway now. The neighborhood meeting or whatever they call it
Speaker 1: in City Hall is happening now, and they're explaining to
Speaker 1: people how you know, what you know, what their rights are,
Speaker 1: what you have to do if you encounter Alce, you know,
Speaker 1: how you should be prepared. And really there's a I mean,
Speaker 1: listen to what Ken Cober had to say. There's really
Speaker 1: nothing to fear. No one's going to come into your
Speaker 1: place of business, no one's going to come into your
Speaker 1: your place of worship and snatch you up and and
Speaker 1: you'll never be heard of again. That if you're if
Speaker 1: you're in the country legally, and I have every right
Speaker 1: and every every reason for being here that is legal.
Speaker 1: Then you're you're in pretty good shape. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: really have nothing to worry now if you're if you're
Speaker 1: not here legally, then then you you probably should be
Speaker 1: looking over your shoulder and h you know, he said,
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to get any any heads up
Speaker 1: and he, you know, knock on the door saying, hey,
Speaker 1: come on out, got some raids to do, need your help.
Speaker 1: You know, if they need the help, that may happen,
Speaker 1: but he does not anticipate that. And so we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens on that. We'll see when you know, you
Speaker 1: get an ICE agent shows up where you are and
Speaker 1: give us a call, because we will want to hear
Speaker 1: about that U thirty day pause on the tariffs against
Speaker 1: Mexico and Canada. It is amazing how fast the news
Speaker 1: cycle is happening with with Donald Trump. And it's amazing
Speaker 1: the things that make the Democrats melt down. And that
Speaker 1: was the the US AID us A I D and
Speaker 1: that is the the the agency that sends out money overseas.
Speaker 1: I just had that up in front of me a
Speaker 1: second ago, and of course I can't find it now.
Speaker 1: But I mean the spending that goes on there is
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous and it and it may be a lot
Speaker 1: worse than we know, but this is, uh, this is
Speaker 1: this is one of those agencies as I look at,
Speaker 1: that is really sort of a playground for those who
Speaker 1: see things their own way, who decide, you know, who
Speaker 1: who you know, want to be in charge of money,
Speaker 1: want to give out money for this project or that project.
Speaker 1: And of course it's not you know, it's not their money,
Speaker 1: so it's of no concern to them, but it allows
Speaker 1: them to to virtue. And that's what, you know, that's
Speaker 1: what's so many of these individuals who want to promote
Speaker 1: the agenda about it's all. It's all about virtue signaling. Right,
Speaker 1: Look how good, look how good we are. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna send money to this this poured down trodden country.
Speaker 1: We're going to help out this group of individuals U
Speaker 1: you know, l g B t Q, this trans you know, transsexual,
Speaker 1: this transsexual of that, you know, all all this nonsense.
Speaker 1: And so the fact that that's coming to an end
Speaker 1: causes the left to melt down like few things that
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. So they so to my way, of thinking,
Speaker 1: this is the part of the the Trump administration that
Speaker 1: that has that is going to be fun to watch.
Speaker 1: I guess the let's see, uh, the the ten percent
Speaker 1: tariff that Trump put on China, uh still set to
Speaker 1: go in effect a scheduled that is today, and that
Speaker 1: you know that that whole thing with China probably is
Speaker 1: going to be a bit more complex than with what
Speaker 1: happened with Mexico and with Canada. Uh, the Associated press
Speaker 1: that had put us on a cusp of a trade war. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know the in the end, look, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't eat guacam only, so I really wasn't
Speaker 1: concerned about the price of avocados. My wife enjoys an
Speaker 1: avocado from time to time, So you know, maybe I
Speaker 1: really didn't have a dog in that fight, you know,
Speaker 1: the with you know, with Chuck Schumer holding up the
Speaker 1: the can of Corona beer, which I believe is manufactured
Speaker 1: by a company that's based in the United States. It's
Speaker 1: and the avocados, but it's a but it's it's just
Speaker 1: a way of doing business. It's just a way of
Speaker 1: of getting from point A to point B. And you know,
Speaker 1: the and look when I look at Donald Trump, I
Speaker 1: see a guy that is when it comes to drugs,
Speaker 1: illegal drugs, people using drugs, drugs that kill people. I
Speaker 1: see Trump as a guy who really has zero tolerance
Speaker 1: for drug use, for drug users. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he wants to put drug users in jail, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying that into his mind, even a little bit, even
Speaker 1: if it's not that much, that is something that he
Speaker 1: does not want this country to have any part of.
Speaker 1: So if he's talking about how he's going to put
Speaker 1: these tariffs in place and he's going to use them
Speaker 1: to prevent the flow a fentanyl across the border, what's
Speaker 1: wrong with that? I mean, there's a lot of fentanyl
Speaker 1: that comes across the border, and even though it may
Speaker 1: be the demand in the United States that causes that
Speaker 1: to come across the border. You know, all these things
Speaker 1: need to be dealt with on their own. But the
Speaker 1: whole notion that you can stop the demand, that you
Speaker 1: can stop people from from wanting this stuff. I think
Speaker 1: we've learned from past experience that getting people to you know,
Speaker 1: not use it, or tell or convince people that you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess over the years we've been able
Speaker 1: to convince people that's smoking is bad for you. Still
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there smoking, not as many
Speaker 1: as there used to be, but how long has that
Speaker 1: been going on? But you will never get to a
Speaker 1: level where you don't where you have no smokers in
Speaker 1: the country. Same with drugs. You can try to convince
Speaker 1: people that wing fentanyl is a bad thing. Taking a
Speaker 1: pill or injecting something that you don't know what it
Speaker 1: is is not a good thing, and it can kill you.
Speaker 1: And that has been drilled into my head since I
Speaker 1: was a little kid, been talking about that. But I
Speaker 1: think as someone in Trump's position, one of the most
Speaker 1: concrete steps you can take is trying to prevent the
Speaker 1: flow of those drugs coming in make it a lot
Speaker 1: more difficult for those drugs to come into the country.
Speaker 1: And so the statistics from the Customs and Border Patrol,
Speaker 1: so the total amount of fennel sees by the agency
Speaker 1: rose from eleven two hundred pounds in fiscal twenty one
Speaker 1: to fourteen seven hundred pounds in fiscal twenty two, that
Speaker 1: went up to twenty seven thousand pounds. And I said
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred, im in four teen thousand? Did I say
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred? But it's twenty seven thousand pounds in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, a one hundred and forty one percent increase
Speaker 1: over that three year period, and a roughly eighty four
Speaker 1: percent rise from fiscal twenty two to fiscal twenty three.
Speaker 1: So in fiscal twenty four and we don't have all
Speaker 1: the numbers yet, the number was just under twenty thousand pounds,
Speaker 1: So it's a little it's a bit of a drop there,
Speaker 1: which to my way of thinking, is a good thing.
Speaker 1: And we know that Biden put his border crackdown towards
Speaker 1: what the last couple of three months of his administration.
Speaker 1: So border crackdowns work, and when and when you send
Speaker 1: when Mexico says it's going to send ten thousand troops
Speaker 1: to the border. I saw Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense,
Speaker 1: new Secretary of Defense, on Fox News just morning talking
Speaker 1: about how there is going to be more Americans military
Speaker 1: on the border, and he told his guys, if you
Speaker 1: get shot at from across the border, you are free
Speaker 1: to engage, you are free to return fire. That is
Speaker 1: a powerful message. All these things are a powerful message.
Speaker 1: But let's just keep in mind these numbers. Fourteen thousand pounds,
Speaker 1: twenty seven thousand pounds twenty thousand pounds of fentanyl that
Speaker 1: we know of coming across the border. How much more
Speaker 1: got across that we don't know, And that's the major thing.
Speaker 1: But I suspect that these numbers are going to go way, way,
Speaker 1: way way down now that we have that, we have
Speaker 1: the president of Mexico sending ten thousand troops to the border,
Speaker 1: that Justin Trudeau talked about what he's going to do.
Speaker 1: Let's see me. Let's see if I can vine. Let's see.
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau said Monday that the pause would occurred, that's
Speaker 1: the pause on the tariffs. He said, we will work together,
Speaker 1: that the that his government would name a fentanyl TZAR,
Speaker 1: that his government would list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups,
Speaker 1: which is what Trump already did. We'll launch a Canadian
Speaker 1: US joint strikeforce to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, these are these are all? Are these not
Speaker 1: good things? Are these the kind of things that Trump
Speaker 1: talked about in the campaign? Are these the kind of
Speaker 1: things that he's doing? And the fact that he uses
Speaker 1: the specter of terraffs to bring people to the telephone
Speaker 1: and make a phone call and saying, look, uh, these
Speaker 1: these terrorifts don't have to happen. Let's have these other
Speaker 1: things happen. How is that a bad thing? And so
Speaker 1: when if, if we are going to restrict and it's
Speaker 1: all and it's all about saving American lives. I didn't
Speaker 1: look up the numbers of fentanyl desks in America, but
Speaker 1: it's a big number. It's a it's a number that
Speaker 1: shouldn't be happening. It's something that when I've had Tom
Speaker 1: Homan on that we've talked about time and time and
Speaker 1: time again, and how many families have lost young people,
Speaker 1: people in their teenage years, people in their in their
Speaker 1: twenties because they got they got just a little too
Speaker 1: much ventanyl in their system. Absolutely horrific, and trying to
Speaker 1: bring that to an end. I don't care if you
Speaker 1: if you're gonna use tariffs, if you're gonna use threats,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna say nasty things, if you can crack
Speaker 1: down on that number, bring that number down significantly, which
Speaker 1: I think we are going to see. Then saying that
Speaker 1: we're going to put terrafts on your country and we
Speaker 1: would like you to do a B and C to
Speaker 1: help us out. I don't think that's a bad thing.
Speaker 1: So justin Trudeau says they're going to do all this,
Speaker 1: and I love I love the fact that, Okay, then
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna pause. We're gonna pause these
Speaker 1: terrorists for thirty days. And Trump is not going to
Speaker 1: be one to sit around and wait for something to happen.
Speaker 1: A thirty day window for this guy is a pretty
Speaker 1: big window. So I would say that that Mexico and
Speaker 1: Canada are going to have to get on the ball
Speaker 1: and make these things happen within the next thirty days
Speaker 1: or who knows what's going on. And you all this
Speaker 1: handwringing we had about the prices of this, that and
Speaker 1: the other thing all going up, Well, I think we're
Speaker 1: going to be just fine again. I think the I
Speaker 1: think the whole situation with with China is going to
Speaker 1: is going to be probably a little more complex. Let's see,
Speaker 1: Let's see what else do I have here. Let's see,
Speaker 1: I've got all these numbers about the fentanyl seizures first
Speaker 1: eleven months of fiscal twenty four agencies, the twenty four
Speaker 1: hundred pounds of fenyl for a projected haul of twenty
Speaker 1: six and eighteen pounds last fiscal year, and it just
Speaker 1: goes on to talk about that. The other thing, let's see,
Speaker 1: that's the other thing is this us AD AI d
Speaker 1: And we're gonna be talking with my buddy Daniel Turner
Speaker 1: about that. And we're Dave, do we have a cut
Speaker 1: number one? Ready? This is Caroline Levitt, who is the
Speaker 1: who's a fantastic spokesperson for the Trump administration, very young,
Speaker 1: very sharp. On top of things, she's been fantastic. Did
Speaker 1: you say we had that?
Speaker 2: Dave?
Speaker 1: Okay, So Caroline Levitt just pulled out the short list
Speaker 1: of some of the things that that USAID USAID has
Speaker 1: been paying for, and Dave, let's hear that.
Speaker 5: Through USAID over the past several years, these are some
Speaker 5: of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending
Speaker 5: money on. One point five million dollars to advance DEI
Speaker 5: in Serbia's workplaces, seventy thousand for a production of a
Speaker 5: Dei musical in Ireland, forty seven thousand for a transgender
Speaker 5: opera in Colombia, thirty two thousand a transgender comic book
Speaker 5: in Peru. I don't know about you, but as an
Speaker 5: American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this crap,
Speaker 5: and I know the American people don't either, And that's
Speaker 5: exactly what Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump
Speaker 5: to do to get the fraud, waste and abuse out
Speaker 5: of our federal government.
Speaker 1: So there you go, Elon man. Of course they're having
Speaker 1: a connection about Elon Musk too, because he is looking
Speaker 1: into things and they don't like that one bit. It
Speaker 1: has been exceedingly fun to watch here in the early going.
Speaker 1: We got to break get a break in here, and
Speaker 1: then news coming up top of the hour, and then
Speaker 1: after the top of the hour, we'll be checking in
Speaker 1: with my buddy Michael Monks out in Los Angeles, and
Speaker 1: he is a radio reporter out there, works for iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: KFI in Los Angeles, and we'll get an update on
Speaker 1: what is happening there in the wake of the Trump
Speaker 1: visit a week or so ago. So stick around for that,
Speaker 1: and we'll roll on till three o'clock this afternoon. Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll for Bill Cunningham, seven hundred WLW back, got a
Speaker 1: big one, seven hundred WLW one eight Dan Carroll till
Speaker 1: three this afternoon and for the Great American Bill Conningham.
Speaker 1: Always glad to be here, always an honor to be
Speaker 1: sitting in for the Great American It was a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago it seemed like it was NonStop morning, noon, night.
Speaker 1: You turn on the TV. We're getting live pictures from
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and we are seeing the devastating wildfires they claimed.
Speaker 1: I think the number is about fifteen thousand structures and
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades. Who knows how many more in the
Speaker 1: other communities around Los Angeles and even in San Diego.
Speaker 1: And so it seems like it's been a little while
Speaker 1: since we've had an update on what is happening in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. And for that I have once again called
Speaker 1: on my good friend Michael Monks, my old colleague here
Speaker 1: back in the Fox nineteen days and the Cincinality days
Speaker 1: and probably some other days. And Michael Monks from KFI
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles, welcome again to seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: Always a pleasure.
Speaker 6: Thanks for reminding me of all those great times we've
Speaker 6: had together over the years.
Speaker 1: We did have some great times, and I still remember that.
Speaker 1: I let you borrow my CD movie of Runaway Train
Speaker 1: and What's my way of Thinking? One of the greatest
Speaker 1: movies of all times and you never returned it. So
Speaker 1: I'm upset about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can ask Jeff.
Speaker 6: You can ask Jeff Henderson about my ability to return DVD's.
Speaker 4: Also, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 6: It's not like I'm a thief. I'm not. I just
Speaker 6: those at the one item I cannot be lended.
Speaker 1: It's just a blind a blind spot you had.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 6: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: A flaw in your personality, one of the few. Are
Speaker 1: you still trying to write a book?
Speaker 6: Oh I've got mountains of pages, man, And don't think
Speaker 6: for one moment there's not going to be a character
Speaker 6: based on you.
Speaker 1: That is awesome. I love it well. When it gets done,
Speaker 1: I want I want to plug it on this show
Speaker 1: and and explore my character thoroughly. But I'm reading a
Speaker 1: story here about some of the wildfires. I guess at
Speaker 1: least the ones in San Diego, and it's being reported
Speaker 1: that the news broke in San Diego, California, that I
Speaker 1: guess the fires that started in that area began in
Speaker 1: homeless encampments. I'm guessing that that's some accurate reporting. Do
Speaker 1: we have anything yet on how the fires might have
Speaker 1: began there where you are in the Los Angeles area
Speaker 1: right now, what we.
Speaker 6: Have is some speculation, but it's not necessarily baseless speculation.
Speaker 6: So as far as any factual details on what investigators
Speaker 6: believe authoritatively started these fires, no, we don't have an
Speaker 6: answer to that. There are questions about utility polls, There
Speaker 6: are questions about fireworks. There are questions about encampments as well.
Speaker 6: So I mean, it's just a regular part of life
Speaker 6: here that we have the type of weather conditions that
Speaker 6: lead to wildfires anyway, But any unnecessary spark, like a
Speaker 6: firework or a campfire that's unauthorized, it can lead to
Speaker 6: absolute disaster. They're still looking into the cause. The progress
Speaker 6: that has been made, however, is that these fires are
Speaker 6: completely surrounded now, which basically means the flame part of
Speaker 6: the situation is over and now the real hard work
Speaker 6: has begun, which is people going back to see their
Speaker 6: properties off, many of them for the first time since
Speaker 6: it happened, and figuring out what it looks like to
Speaker 6: rebuild their lives.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I heard that one or two nights
Speaker 1: ago that those fires were one hundred percent I guess
Speaker 1: contained or surrounded, whichever term I guess you'd prefer to use.
Speaker 1: Is there a you know, when I was asking you
Speaker 1: about the possible cause, is there is there a growing
Speaker 1: impatience at all about about not having a cause yet?
Speaker 1: Are is that something people are talking about or are
Speaker 1: they more concerned about moving on and trying to get
Speaker 1: on with their lives as opposed to finding out a
Speaker 1: lot of how these things started.
Speaker 6: As you can imagine, even as the fires were still raging,
Speaker 6: there were a variety of reactions. And there were folks
Speaker 6: who said, don't politicize this, even though their own house
Speaker 6: had burned down. You know, let's leave the politics out
Speaker 6: of it. Let's just focus on what we need to
Speaker 6: do to keep people safe and start to rebuild. And
Speaker 6: there are other folks like, let's get some heads. We
Speaker 6: got to you know, we got to find the people
Speaker 6: who were responsible, not necessarily for sparking the fire, but
Speaker 6: for not preparing us well enough. So a variety of emotions,
Speaker 6: a variety of perspectives. Right now, I think for those
Speaker 6: who have lost their homes, the priority is to get
Speaker 6: in and figure out what happens.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 6: You know, we've all been in the media and maybe
Speaker 6: in our personal lives We've known people who have lost homes,
Speaker 6: but it's a very rare sight to see entire neighborhoods gone.
Speaker 6: So this is going to be a very big process.
Speaker 6: And working with the government here that's not the easiest
Speaker 6: to get stuff through. Some major, major population area and
Speaker 6: government inefficiencies exist here just like they do everywhere else,
Speaker 6: but it's particularly troublesome here. So you want to build
Speaker 6: a deck on your home, that can take a long time.
Speaker 6: You want to rebuild your home. That's what they're trying
Speaker 6: to address. Now, how do we make this easy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was my next question because I guess
Speaker 1: it's been a couple of weeks now since President Trump
Speaker 1: was out there. He was greeted by Gavin Newsom at
Speaker 1: the airport. I guess Newsom was not invited to that
Speaker 1: roundtable discussion that he had with the mayor and some
Speaker 1: other politicians there from southern California and I guess people
Speaker 1: that live in the area. And so I think Trump's
Speaker 1: main thrust during that meeting was that he spoke with
Speaker 1: some of the homeowners there who told him that what
Speaker 1: they're upset about is the delay for them being able
Speaker 1: to go back on their property and start the process.
Speaker 1: So I guess the first thing you have to do
Speaker 1: is get things cleaned up and cleaned out of there,
Speaker 1: get rid of everything that needs to go into a
Speaker 1: dumpster and get it out of there, and then start
Speaker 1: with the infrastructure once again. And they were upset that
Speaker 1: that process had not begun yet, and he was encouraging
Speaker 1: the mayor to cut the red tape, get the ball rolling.
Speaker 1: And it seemed to me that the mayor was sort
Speaker 1: of falling back on well, this is how we do things,
Speaker 1: and you know, we can get things done in a
Speaker 1: week or a month, and Trump was saying that's not
Speaker 1: fast enough. And I wanted to ask you if you
Speaker 1: know if any of that was overcome during the course
Speaker 1: of that meeting.
Speaker 6: Well, it's been interesting to watch the Maybe we can
Speaker 6: call up the fallout from that meeting. Obviously, we all
Speaker 6: know President Trump is a bit of a force of
Speaker 6: nature when he walks into a room and you'll steamroll
Speaker 6: you in a conversation. Whether he can steamroll policy that holds,
Speaker 6: you know, has yet to be seen even at the
Speaker 6: federal level at this point. But whether he can change
Speaker 6: local policy.
Speaker 4: We don't know.
Speaker 6: But one thing that I think it's safe to say
Speaker 6: he impacted was the reopening of Pacific Coast Highway, very
Speaker 6: famous road right on the ocean front here in La
Speaker 6: that takes you to the Palisades, it takes you to Malibu,
Speaker 6: and it had been shut down since the fires, and
Speaker 6: it's a main route to get to these homes for
Speaker 6: a lot of these people who lost their houses. Now,
Speaker 6: there had been checkpoints set up when it became determined
Speaker 6: that it was safe for some people to go and
Speaker 6: at least bring in some contractors got to look at
Speaker 6: their property. But there were multiple military checkpoints, national Guard checkpoints.
Speaker 6: And then on Sunday, the county and the city officials
Speaker 6: decided that we're going to reopen. It's if the Coast
Speaker 6: Highway before we thought we were going to and all
Speaker 6: the checkpoints are going to be gone. But then you
Speaker 6: got pushedback down from people that live in the palace.
Speaker 6: It's like, wait a second, that's actually too fast because
Speaker 6: if you open it up to everyone, can you imagine
Speaker 6: the lookie loose, the potential looters and thieves that might
Speaker 6: make their way up there. So that's been the issue
Speaker 6: now is can we move too fast? Can we move
Speaker 6: too slow? I think the answer to both of those questions,
Speaker 6: is now yes, So it's finding I guess the goldilocks
Speaker 6: temperature that we're looking for to get this pace right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me your sense of what it is of
Speaker 1: people who are taking advantage of this situation when it
Speaker 1: comes to the looting, when it comes to I guess
Speaker 1: scam artists and whatnot. Do you have a sense of
Speaker 1: if there's a handle on that or that aspect to
Speaker 1: sort of run and wild or what's the case there?
Speaker 6: You think, well, there were certainly arrest even while the
Speaker 6: fires were still going on, of people being up there
Speaker 6: who weren't supposed to be there. There was one high
Speaker 6: profile incident of people who came from elsewhere in a
Speaker 6: fire truck they have purchased with fake fire gear to
Speaker 6: try to get passed to some of the checkpoints, which
Speaker 6: were much more stringent because no one could get past
Speaker 6: them unless you were an emergency responder or immediate member
Speaker 6: of the press. So people are going to great links. Again,
Speaker 6: we're talking about specific palisades as one of these areas,
Speaker 6: and this is a very wealthy part of the country,
Speaker 6: so if there are any goods left behind, they might
Speaker 6: be at worth. So the folks are certainly taking advance.
Speaker 6: The government, both at the state and the local level,
Speaker 6: have taken a lot of steps to either increase law
Speaker 6: enforcement presence. I've never seen so many police cruisers on
Speaker 6: the beach, and they've also stepped up what they're referring
Speaker 6: to as price gouging. They want to make sure people
Speaker 6: aren't taking advantage of rent cost and cost of other
Speaker 6: goods that could be available as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me your view of what you've seen. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing you've been back to these areas that were hit
Speaker 1: by the fires, and you've you've been to these neighborhoods
Speaker 1: now that the fires are out. Do you see dumpsters
Speaker 1: in front of houses? Do you see heavy equipment? Do
Speaker 1: you see people starting to make progress on at least
Speaker 1: getting rid of the things that are burned out and
Speaker 1: burned down and getting things cleaned up and taking at
Speaker 1: least that first step.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the debris removal is the first step. And that's
Speaker 6: also where there's been a conflict, maybe even between President
Speaker 6: Trump and some of the local officials. Is it's not
Speaker 6: appropriate the local officials say for people to go in unprotected.
Speaker 6: The professionals handled the debris, because they say a lot
Speaker 6: of it is toxic. But regardless of any political leaders
Speaker 6: feelings on the matter, debris removal is happening. That's the
Speaker 6: thing that has to happen first. And it's not just
Speaker 6: you know, calling your buddy Chuck to come over, you
Speaker 6: know with a forklift or a backo and all those
Speaker 6: things to move stuff. It's actually you know, scientists and
Speaker 6: those sorts of people who need to come in and
Speaker 6: measure that. I mean, everything you can imagine burned. I
Speaker 6: told you last time we spoke that this wasn't like
Speaker 6: a charredhouse where you see walls still everything was gone,
Speaker 6: a pile of ashes, so a lot of toxic materials burned.
Speaker 6: So that's going to take a little while to get out.
Speaker 6: But that's another thing people are trying to expedite here,
Speaker 6: both the government and the public. They want that done
Speaker 6: quickly because folks do want to rebuild their lives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I remember that was the one thing that
Speaker 1: when the mayor was sitting there, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: couple of seats down from President Trump. But is she
Speaker 1: repeated to her three times that we want people to
Speaker 1: be safe, we want you to be safe. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, is that really the top priority.
Speaker 1: Or you know, if if it's my property and I
Speaker 1: have the means to go in there and get it
Speaker 1: cleaned out and at least start the rebuilding process, you know,
Speaker 1: does that sort of thing take a back seat now,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll worry about myself being safe. Just discrepancy exactly.
Speaker 6: That's a discrepancy because they are saying the Army Corps
Speaker 6: of Engineer will remove this debris for you free of charge. However,
Speaker 6: if you got your own guys, you can bring them
Speaker 6: in as well. It's just a matter of a timeline.
Speaker 6: Now they had finally allowed everybody to go back and
Speaker 6: see what they've got and to figure out what can
Speaker 6: be salvaged, what can be rebuilt. But right now we're
Speaker 6: kind of waiting to see how that environmental aspect plays out.
Speaker 6: That's just you know, the palas Aides which is governed
Speaker 6: by the City of Los Angeles, Alta Dina, and that's
Speaker 6: more into the county. Aldigen is a city, but La
Speaker 6: County has kind of taken the lead on that one.
Speaker 6: So I mean, you know, living in Hamilton County, Cincinnati,
Speaker 6: Northern Kentucky, all these different jurisdictions, we've got a lot
Speaker 6: of that here as well, So sometimes it's difficult to
Speaker 6: keep track, but there's a lot of governments who have
Speaker 6: their hands in this, and more than anything, though, the
Speaker 6: people just want to take that first of what will
Speaker 6: be many many steps.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it was about a week ten days
Speaker 1: ago we were hearing that another round of the Santa
Speaker 1: Ana wins were going to come through again, and that
Speaker 1: was obviously causing a lot of concerns that these fires
Speaker 1: could spark up once again. It seems like you got
Speaker 1: through that episode with really very little trouble at all.
Speaker 1: Did the winds just not materialize or was it a
Speaker 1: better preparation this time around the winds blew.
Speaker 6: We did end up with a pretty significant fire in
Speaker 6: the northern part of the county, which is a little
Speaker 6: more rural. They did evacuate some communities, but they were
Speaker 6: able to get a handle on that pretty fast, and
Speaker 6: I think it was notable that they were probably able
Speaker 6: to do that because of the volume of firefighters who
Speaker 6: are already in this jurisdiction from elsewhere to have fires. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so they knocked that one down pretty fast. No structures lost,
Speaker 6: no injuries in that one. So we did feel the
Speaker 6: winds they definitely blew through this week. Everybody's worried about rain,
Speaker 6: which is something we hadn't had in a while. Only
Speaker 6: do like it. This is our rainy season, is winter,
Speaker 6: and it has not been much of one. But this
Speaker 6: week we are expecting some rain, might be an inch
Speaker 6: and that's significant here, you know, to get an inch
Speaker 6: of rain in a day. So they're worried about what
Speaker 6: that might do to you know, the topography, what it
Speaker 6: might do to mud slides, what it might be due
Speaker 6: to debris flow. So that's our concern this week. Rain
Speaker 6: is in the forecast for most of the days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how was your weekend with the demonstrators out there
Speaker 1: shutting down what was it the one oh one or
Speaker 1: one of the freeways out there and in protest of
Speaker 1: the President Trump and the the you know, all the
Speaker 1: deep importations that he wants to take place and all
Speaker 1: the rest of it. What the what was it like
Speaker 1: out there this weekend?
Speaker 6: Well, I can tell you say what you want about
Speaker 6: you know, their position. People in Los Angeles when they protest,
Speaker 6: they know how to get your attention and it might
Speaker 6: not be the attention they want, but they are going
Speaker 6: to get it. And I lived downtown where the one
Speaker 6: oh one was blocked. And you know, the same thing
Speaker 6: happened during Palestine protests, during Black Lives Matters protests, and
Speaker 6: it's very disruptive. You don't have to live in LA
Speaker 6: to know that traffic here is just horrible. It's driving
Speaker 6: me and saying, Dan, you know what a nice guy am.
Speaker 6: It turns me into a monster when I'm out there
Speaker 6: on these roads. It's not so to shut down a
Speaker 6: major thoroughfare is It's a lot to deal with. They
Speaker 6: were back at it yesterday and today. I just returned
Speaker 6: actually to Burbank, the station in Burbank from City Hall
Speaker 6: in downtown LA, where the city Council, some city council
Speaker 6: members are announcing some legislation they want to enact to
Speaker 6: offer more protections to those who've immigrated here illegally. And
Speaker 6: while I was there, some of the graffiti on City
Speaker 6: Hall it was not very nice to the President or Ice.
Speaker 6: And so City Hall itself has been graffitied by those
Speaker 6: protesters and we'll see how along that stays.
Speaker 1: I know I saw one report where it said police
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles were told to stand down and let
Speaker 1: these protesters just do what they wanted. Is that accurate?
Speaker 6: It's not uncommon for that. It's not necessarily to suggest
Speaker 6: to let the protesters run wild. I mean, you're gonna
Speaker 6: have some graffiti, You're gonna have some annoyances, right, Like
Speaker 6: shutting down traffic is really annoying. But I think from
Speaker 6: a law enforcement standpoint, it's often safer for the broader
Speaker 6: community to kind of let it play out as long
Speaker 6: as it doesn't spread from the point that it's already gone.
Speaker 6: So we do see that with some regularity here. But
Speaker 6: at the same time, it's so disruptive to everyday people's lives,
Speaker 6: including some of the immigrants who are living here trying
Speaker 6: to get the work on the one oh one. So again,
Speaker 6: just like the fires, a lot of perspectives on that
Speaker 6: one too.
Speaker 1: LA is a big, big place, yeah, to live in
Speaker 1: southern California, And I know that even back in the
Speaker 1: eighties they were doing traffic reports twenty four to seven
Speaker 1: on the radio, and so traffic was a major concern then.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine how much that's increase since then.
Speaker 1: And even though it was a weekend, it had to
Speaker 1: be an absolute ima.
Speaker 4: Oh, no question.
Speaker 6: Everybody has at all the radio stations you know that
Speaker 6: have news. We were doing traffic every ten minutes, you know,
Speaker 6: every fifteen minutes, you're hearing traffic reports. It's amazing, the
Speaker 6: helicopter traffic in Los Angeles. I wasn't prepared for that.
Speaker 6: I visited here many times and never really paid any
Speaker 6: attention to it, But now that I live there, I
Speaker 6: think it.
Speaker 4: Is so wild here all the time.
Speaker 1: It got choppers slid around. It's twenty four to seven, man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
Speaker 6: If it's not if it's not traffic, choppers to share
Speaker 6: a thought, it's looking for somebody in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Well, as long as they're not looking for you, Michael Monks,
Speaker 1: I think I think you'll be all right. But we
Speaker 1: got it run man. Look, Michael, I can't tell you
Speaker 1: how much I appreciate the firsthand reports from what's happening
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. And I may be calling you on
Speaker 1: you again before too long, but for now, thanks, I
Speaker 1: really appreciate the time today.
Speaker 6: My pleasure and my best. Everybody back in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: All right, Michael Monks from KFI in Los Angeles, and
Speaker 1: some good stuff there. It is one twenty five. Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll for Bill Cunningham seven hundred ww.
Speaker 7: Canada case and in exchange, Trump paused tariffs for thirty days.
Speaker 7: There was no inflation, there was no recession. The market
Speaker 7: closed pretty much flat.
Speaker 2: But we've been.
Speaker 7: Told tariffs don't work and that Trump's trade wars are reckless. Well,
Speaker 7: so far, every country that's been threatened bent the knee,
Speaker 7: and we haven't conceded a thing. Tariffs encourage Americans to
Speaker 7: buy American and it encourages multinationals if they don't want
Speaker 7: to get hit with a tariff, to have their products
Speaker 7: made in America. That boosts American jobs and wages. Europe's next.
Speaker 6: Hello, quiet, and I'm skulls, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: God so seg we saw American diplomacy in about the
Speaker 1: span of twelve hours yesterday. Yeah, you know, Trump says
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get things done. I'm gonna put this on

Speaker 8: Arrives in the atl with a reported twenty two million
Speaker 8: dollars deal, surpassing FC Cincinnati's deal with Kevin and Denke
Speaker 8: at sixteen point two million last November for one season.
Speaker 8: Mister Lath is out of the Ivory coach for one season.
Speaker 8: Well they who was it more two million? I saw
Speaker 8: the other day that plus add Ons gott forget can't
Speaker 8: forget add Ons? So I guess if they make the
Speaker 8: playoffs or wins.
Speaker 1: Also known as incentives. I guess, so they call yeah everything,
Speaker 1: everything's got to be different in sock the way it is,
Speaker 1: dan and they call it the pitch, right, and then
Speaker 1: they call it it's not a game, it's a.
Speaker 8: Match, right.
Speaker 1: What else?
Speaker 8: That's the way it is.
Speaker 1: I don't know, have you been. I haven't been to
Speaker 1: a game yet, been there yet? No, I've been to
Speaker 1: the I've been to the stadium, but I've not been
Speaker 1: to the game. So uh.
Speaker 8: And then uh for pickleballers around town, The Pickle Lodge,
Speaker 8: the second largest indoor pickleball facility in the nation, has
Speaker 8: announced the acquisition of the Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Club
Speaker 8: at the end of their indoor season this May. They're
Speaker 8: going to transition it, transitioned it into a dedicated pickleball facility.
Speaker 1: So I used to play pickleball action right there? How
Speaker 1: about that? He used to play racquetball there many years ago.
Speaker 8: So you know. And then of course Miles Garrett wants
Speaker 8: a trade from Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about Miles Garrett, You're not going anywhere? Why not?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Why won't they trade him? Probably because
Speaker 1: of the money involved. In all the other Shenanigans. How
Speaker 1: much is he making more than that soccer player?
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: That's so ridiculous. I don't know.
Speaker 9: The game.
Speaker 8: I think, uh, what was it in Bompe uh went
Speaker 8: or somebody somebody went to uh, Saudi Arabia to play.
Speaker 8: I think over there. I think it was Saudi Arabia
Speaker 8: for two hundred million dollars for one season. Well, I
Speaker 8: think whatever it was. And he scored one goal.
Speaker 1: One goal and that was it. Yeah, for two hundred million.
Speaker 8: Yeah, not bad, not bad. And I see if if
Speaker 8: FC sent an A can get him Christian Ronaldo, a
Speaker 8: couple of the other boys.
Speaker 1: Well, what about the guy that we had here last year?
Speaker 1: That was pretty good? Costa? What about that guy?
Speaker 8: He's uh, I think he is going somewhere. I think
Speaker 8: he's headed toward a uh a uh team back in
Speaker 8: his home uh uh country of Argentina. They're just working
Speaker 8: out the deal deal.
Speaker 1: So he doesn't want to play much. He don't want
Speaker 1: to play for f CN.
Speaker 8: Well, I mean f C is going to get a
Speaker 8: lot of cash for cash, like cash am Bergie, So
Speaker 8: I mean you know they're gonna you know, I guess
Speaker 8: they're going to go for the jack and then get
Speaker 8: more players and lucho head south. God, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a lot of money, so it's an
Speaker 1: interesting sport. It's all about as uh you'd like to say.
Speaker 1: It's all about the jack, that's for sure. It's all
Speaker 1: about the jack, and.
Speaker 8: There's plenty of it in the MLS.
Speaker 1: I guess so, guys getting twenty a soccer player made,
Speaker 1: so twenty two million dollars is the biggest deal so
Speaker 1: far in the MLS.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that surpasses the deal that FC Cincinnati gave Kevin
Speaker 8: Danky last November at sixteen point two.
Speaker 1: So is he gonna want a bigger deal now?
Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't know if he can get
Speaker 8: one or not.
Speaker 1: Well, who's the better player?
Speaker 8: Don't know, I haven't seen it. He him play, so
Speaker 8: So I mean if a guy's played making twenty two
Speaker 8: million bucks and coming over from uh twenty two million
Speaker 8: English leagues, I think he's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Twenty two million to play soccer not bad.
Speaker 8: We also want to thank Penn Station today Dan for
Speaker 8: our another round of lunch. Remember Penn Station, it's all
Speaker 8: about good taste. I had some of the fries delicious,
Speaker 8: but I had to get him before the broadcast. Sheriff
Speaker 8: walked in there because it's like a free for all.
Speaker 8: Now there's nothing left. I know people who's there's people injured,
Speaker 8: there's people there's people injured. There's people injured from sandwiches.
Speaker 1: And fighting for him in there. He claims how good
Speaker 1: they are. He claims he left something in there. I
Speaker 1: have to go look at the evidence. I think there's
Speaker 1: a receipt for the for the sandwiches iner.
Speaker 8: That's about it. We'll give that the DJ. Yeah, I
Speaker 8: don't know, that's about it.
Speaker 1: Segu Have you ever heard of the United States Agency
Speaker 1: for International Development, that's US eight.
Speaker 6: And the U s A.
Speaker 8: I D yeah, I heard about it yesterday. They give
Speaker 8: all this money out and I guess one of people
Speaker 8: are griping it. It's going to be.
Speaker 1: One for diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia. Why why
Speaker 1: are we staying? And the and look, Elon Musk comes
Speaker 1: along and says, nah blah, but nah, we ain't doing
Speaker 1: that anymore. And the and the and the Democrats in
Speaker 1: Congress have a meltdown because we can't we can't send
Speaker 1: a one point five million to Serbia so they can
Speaker 1: have d I in the workplace.
Speaker 8: I don't get it, but I mean he's saving money.
Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't I don't you know. I
Speaker 8: don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: What about what about seventy grand for a musical in
Speaker 1: Ireland about d I? Do you want? You want to
Speaker 1: watch a musical about d I? Do you do they
Speaker 1: really want that?
Speaker 8: I'm goofy on some bad stuff because he kept talking
Speaker 8: about d I. I thought he kept talking about Dayal
Speaker 8: Earnhard incorporator. Is that, well, don't be messing with those guys.
Speaker 1: Now that's different.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How much?
Speaker 8: How much I pay attention?
Speaker 1: I bet the government doesn't spend any money on them? Negative?
Speaker 8: Negative?
Speaker 1: Why would we spend send six hundred or six million
Speaker 1: dollars to Egypt so we can make sure they've got
Speaker 1: tourism there? Does Egypt need six million of our dollars
Speaker 1: so they can they?
Speaker 8: I think they can promote themselves, come see the pharaohs.
Speaker 1: What about the hundreds of thousands of dollars that went
Speaker 1: to al Qaeda so they can so they can have
Speaker 1: some bunch of you know, box lunches in Syria.
Speaker 8: Of course they got to be fed while blowing people up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but why why is why is it the job
Speaker 1: of the American taxpayer to make sure that they can
Speaker 1: you know, that's why the big boys there get a
Speaker 1: bologny whole week. And then he got what he got
Speaker 1: the guy from He got the guy from Mexico to
Speaker 1: dump China already on the Patama Canal, Right, didn't he's unbelievable. Well,
Speaker 1: guy's unbelieving. Marco Marco Rubio comes back from Panama, says,
Speaker 1: we got a deal. Uh you got Rick Crnell goes
Speaker 1: to wherever the hell he went to and brought back
Speaker 1: those hostages.
Speaker 8: This guy's done more than Venezuela. How long you've been
Speaker 8: he's been in office what.
Speaker 1: Three weeks now?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, look what he's doing every day. You can't keep
Speaker 1: up with it all. You can't but know, but you
Speaker 1: know this done. He's done more in a week than
Speaker 1: the previous administrations did in twelve years. You know, this
Speaker 1: is this is what happened. This is what causes democrats
Speaker 1: in d C to melt down, that that we're not
Speaker 1: going to spend thirty two thousand dollars so kids in
Speaker 1: Peru can read a book a comic book about transgenders
Speaker 1: unbelieved somehow, somehow that doesn't that doesn't sit well with them,
Speaker 1: or we're going to you know, we're not going to
Speaker 1: spend two million dollars so we can have sex change
Speaker 1: activism in Guatemala.
Speaker 8: I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is I mean, this is the
Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff right that goes on
Speaker 1: and then and and we wouldn't know about it.
Speaker 8: It's been going on for years and nobody has said
Speaker 8: a thing, but now all of a sudden he wants
Speaker 8: to shut it down, and everybody's screaming.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't get it.
Speaker 8: I don't either.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a you know, this kind of stuff
Speaker 1: has got to come to an end. I agree, just
Speaker 1: like the stooge reports, say, get us out of the
Speaker 1: stooge Report's got to come to an end.
Speaker 8: Dan Carroll, on this uh Tuesday afternoon, go out there
Speaker 8: and thank a mail carrier. It's thank a mail carrier
Speaker 8: day today. Really, Yes, I'm out there to thank your
Speaker 8: male man, male person.
Speaker 1: My brother in law is a mail carrier.
Speaker 8: There you go, well, thank you, thank them for their
Speaker 8: their great job that they do every day.
Speaker 1: We leave you with the immortal words of the Stude Report,
Speaker 1: say I wish you're the bank account of Republicans and
Speaker 1: the second life of a Democrat Jazz Charlie Lucan, what's
Speaker 1: Bill say that the best politician money can buy?
Speaker 8: Bring him back?
Speaker 1: We could use a dictatorship in Cincinnati, right there.
Speaker 8: Chaz, We could use it. A little bit of Yaz
Speaker 8: so great.
Speaker 1: We could use a little bit of his sanity down
Speaker 1: at city Hall these days something and get those people
Speaker 1: in line down, that's for sure, you lady.
Speaker 8: At least mister Lucan cleaned the streets. These clowns can't
Speaker 8: even get the snow off the street.
Speaker 1: Get some snowplows out there, baby on seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: back on the big one, seven hundred WLW two to ten,
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham. And if there's anything we've
Speaker 1: learned over these and really we should have been learning
Speaker 1: this over the last several years, but especially these last
Speaker 1: few weeks when you look at one government failure after another,
Speaker 1: is that no matter what it does, government cannot work.
Speaker 1: It does not work, and it fails in so many ways,
Speaker 1: and a lot of times lives wind up being on
Speaker 1: the line. So much to talk about, so little time.
Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. Daniel Turner is the founder
Speaker 1: and executive director of Power the Future. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: the guy's been involved in just about everything there is
Speaker 1: to be involved in. And Daniel Turner, welcome again to
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. How you doing.
Speaker 4: Oh it was great to be almoste Dan. Thank you
Speaker 4: so much for having me back.
Speaker 1: So many things I want to talk to you about.
Speaker 1: I see all these things and I think of you,
Speaker 1: and I saw this one last night that the avan
Speaker 1: Pa Solar Power facility out in California, the world's largest
Speaker 1: bird incinerator, probably the most expensive one ever. Started in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, they broke ground on this thing. It never
Speaker 1: lived up to its expectations. We spend billions of dollars
Speaker 1: on this, the American taxpayer has, and now after a
Speaker 1: lifespan of eleven years, they're saying it's time to shut
Speaker 1: it down. Time to shut it down. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a massive economic and green energy failure, is it not?
Speaker 4: It is and it really flies in the phase of
Speaker 4: common sense. You know, if there were may if there
Speaker 4: were market signals that were desiring wind and solar, we
Speaker 4: wouldn't need government money, we wouldn't need government mandates, we
Speaker 4: wouldn't need all of the financial backstops these industries have had.
Speaker 4: You know, there are fossil fuel plans that are fifty
Speaker 4: sixty years and that are still running fine, and that's
Speaker 4: because they work. You know, if you could go back
Speaker 4: and look at the statements when they broke round on this,
Speaker 4: how it was going to revolutionize everything. And don't get
Speaker 4: me wrong, I appreciate risk takers. I appreciate entrepreneurs. A
Speaker 4: lot of people who are disruptors know that it may
Speaker 4: or may not work, but they don't put the taxpayers
Speaker 4: on the hook for it, right, they don't require government
Speaker 4: mandates to force it down people's throats. And when you
Speaker 4: look at electricity rates nationwide, but especially in areas that
Speaker 4: have pushed wind and solar faster than the markets allow,
Speaker 4: they deserve cheap electricity and they're paying thirty forty percent
Speaker 4: more than they were a decade ago because of these
Speaker 4: failed experiments.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's what this was supposed to be. Free
Speaker 1: electricity for everyone. And for those who don't know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, the avanpa avanpa iv A n pah,
Speaker 1: the solar power facility is out in San Bernardino County, California,
Speaker 1: thirty four one hundred acres. It is three giant towers
Speaker 1: with I guess, a giant tank of water on top
Speaker 1: of a tower, surrounded by thousands of mirrors that aim
Speaker 1: the reflection of the sun at this giant tank of water.
Speaker 1: It boils the water and creates steam and produces energy.
Speaker 1: This thing was supposed to generate more than a million
Speaker 1: megawatts of power annually. It never lived up to that.
Speaker 1: And then as I was reading about this, the American
Speaker 1: Enterprise Institute wrote about this, and Daniel Turner this is
Speaker 1: the part that really stuck out to me. There was
Speaker 1: a one point six billion dollar loan guarantee provided by
Speaker 1: the Department of Energy for this plant. The owners, of course,
Speaker 1: could not pay it back. So what happened then, Well,
Speaker 1: under a loan program from the Department of Energy, that's
Speaker 1: American taxpayers, they got another five hundred and thirty five
Speaker 1: million dollars from the Treasury Department to pay back part
Speaker 1: of the loan that they already got guaranteed. I mean,
Speaker 1: only in Washington is something like this a good idea.
Speaker 4: And only Washington would they consider. Yeah, that's to be
Speaker 4: a success. Then they borrow more taxpayer dollars to pay
Speaker 4: off more taxpayer dollars, and we wonder why we're thirty
Speaker 4: six trillion dollar debt. It is just absolutely infuriating. And look,
Speaker 4: I don't know what tomorrow's electricity production is going to be.
Speaker 4: I've said this many times when I talk to you.
Speaker 4: It's why my organization is called Power the Future. So
Speaker 4: we may discover something great someday soon, but right now,
Speaker 4: we have to realize that we live in a fossil
Speaker 4: fuel powered economy and punishing us now does not usher
Speaker 4: in that better tomorrow. It does not It does not
Speaker 4: bring it to a more quicker market viability. It doesn't
Speaker 4: make us richer, it doesn't make us more prosperous. It
Speaker 4: just punishes us now. And we've seen that for four
Speaker 4: years of the Biden Harris administration. They told us we're
Speaker 4: going to force you to buy all these things. We're
Speaker 4: going to force wind and solar and evs and batteries,
Speaker 4: and we're going to force what type of stove you
Speaker 4: have and what type of hot water heater you use.
Speaker 1: How did it work out?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 4: We're poorer, we're broker where we're weaker as a nation,
Speaker 4: so tomorrow could be brighter than today, but punishing ourselves
Speaker 4: now is not going to.
Speaker 1: Bring a brighter tomorrow. Yeah, you know, I mean Barack
Speaker 1: Obama was a huge supporter of this, all the usual
Speaker 1: suspects in DC. And when things like this fail and
Speaker 1: fail massively, no one has ever held to account. You know, none
Speaker 1: of this has ever remembered. You know, this place is
Speaker 1: going to wind up being an eye sore out in
Speaker 1: the desert for god knows how many years. And you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that land is ever going to
Speaker 1: be usable again. I don't know what's going to happen
Speaker 1: to that. But I mean, the monumental failures, one after
Speaker 1: another is completely ridiculous. And now we have an administration
Speaker 1: that is looking to bring an end to these sorts
Speaker 1: of things. And when you look at the meltdown Daniel
Speaker 1: Turner that the left has had over this USAID, USA,
Speaker 1: I D and the ridiculous amounts of money they've been
Speaker 1: spending money on and the things that they've been spending
Speaker 1: money on, you see what animates the left when it's
Speaker 1: one of two things. It's either abortion or a cut
Speaker 1: in spending any spending whatsoever, and they have an absolute
Speaker 1: meltdown and a conniption.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I tweeted it just took a little while ago.
Speaker 4: You know, the whole Maga movement make America great again.
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean it's going to be easy. And I think
Speaker 4: of an old comics skit by the great Bill Burr
Speaker 4: where he talks about being in shape and how hard
Speaker 4: it is, and he jokes like, is it hard to
Speaker 4: get fat? No one ever struggles to get fat. That's easy, right.
Speaker 4: Getting thirty six trillion dollars in debt is not hard.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: What our politicians have done to us for decades is
Speaker 4: not hard. They pat themselves on the back and say
Speaker 4: how they work so hard. But it is very easy
Speaker 4: to go in debt. A lot of us know the experience, right.
Speaker 4: It is very easy to live above your means. What
Speaker 4: is hard is fiscal discipline and being abstemious and saying
Speaker 4: I can't afford that, or we don't have the money
Speaker 4: to do that. That is hard. And America right now
Speaker 4: is at a critical debt point and we see the
Speaker 4: crazy spending trying to reel it in. It's going to
Speaker 4: be hard, right. There are going to be groups that
Speaker 4: are cut off. You know, to a certain extent that
Speaker 4: Democrats are lying when they're talking about how these are
Speaker 4: life saving. But you know, financing transgender comic books in
Speaker 4: Peru a thirty eight thousand dollars grand by the way,
Speaker 4: that was rejected recently. Funding transgender comic books in Peru
Speaker 4: does not make America stronger, richer. It's just some stupid
Speaker 4: pet project that we shouldn't pay for. But there are
Speaker 4: going to be some pain points in America. But I'm
Speaker 4: sorry to say they are they are necessary. Right. It
Speaker 4: is hard that first day you get on the treadmill.
Speaker 4: Your body doesn't like it. You don't like it, but
Speaker 4: you do know it is necessary, and America has to
Speaker 4: get on a treadmill. Luckily, we have a president who
Speaker 4: has the moral convict and the guts to say, let's go, fatty,
Speaker 4: you got to start walking because you are unhealthy and
Speaker 4: out of shape and you're going to have a heart attack.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But when I look at some of the things that
Speaker 1: that they want to cut, you know, when you want
Speaker 1: to cut six million dollars to UH to Egypt for terrorism,
Speaker 1: you know when you want to cut money that goes
Speaker 1: for a box lunches for Taliban fighters. You know, when
Speaker 1: you want to cut stuff like that, it seems to
Speaker 1: me that that that's low hanging fruit, that would be
Speaker 1: the easy stuff. But even that, when you when you
Speaker 1: look at it cutting that and started shutting down things
Speaker 1: like that, then you get the Ilhan Omar's out there,
Speaker 1: and you get Bernie Sanders and you get Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: out there to say that we're witnessing an oligarchy taking place,
Speaker 1: and you know, and they're and they're saying, they're calling
Speaker 1: back to calling Trump a dictator now because he would,
Speaker 1: dare you know, cut cut this sort of wasteful spending
Speaker 1: out of the federal budget.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is so necessary. And we have to
Speaker 4: remember the ideological difference between the left and the right,
Speaker 4: and the left does realize that money is power and
Speaker 4: spending money it means you get to influence people, and
Speaker 4: you get to push your power, and you get to
Speaker 4: start organizations that have to hire board members. And that's
Speaker 4: why they love government. They love big government, and they
Speaker 4: want more big government because more government means power. It's
Speaker 4: a lot of what we're seeing in the RFK hearings. Right,
Speaker 4: if you are a healthy you don't need pills and
Speaker 4: you don't need surgeries. And if you're a healthy, autonomous
Speaker 4: and let's add on top of that and you're prosperous
Speaker 4: and you're happy, you don't really need that much government,
Speaker 4: do you. In fact, those people who are healthy and
Speaker 4: prosperous and autonomous kind of seek government as a pain
Speaker 4: in the butt, right, they're the ones that make their
Speaker 4: lives difficult. Who loves government? The unhealthy, the weak, the indebted.
Speaker 4: They want more of those people. So, yeah, you're going
Speaker 4: to see this huge revolution of cutting off the government's spicket.
Speaker 4: Because the left does want unhealthy, dependent, weak Americans. It
Speaker 4: means more government and more power for them. They have
Speaker 4: no incentive to see Americans be autonomous and prosperous because
Speaker 4: then they don't need them. And if you're an elected Democrat,
Speaker 4: you have to make yourself relevant otherwise why why vote
Speaker 4: for them? Right? So, we are seeing a huge shift
Speaker 4: right now, and it's great to behold.
Speaker 1: It is so much fun to watch. And when we
Speaker 1: see the reaction from those on the left and the
Speaker 1: and the national media. Does this mean that Trump is
Speaker 1: walking in and getting closer to that target?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: I think so. Yeah, And it's just begun I mean,
Speaker 4: these have been as I've seen many people quote on
Speaker 4: social media, this has been the longest year and it's
Speaker 4: only you know, February, right, that was a pretty remarkable
Speaker 4: first for teen days in office, and we've just begun.
Speaker 4: But we are starting to see that he is over
Speaker 4: the target on a lot of these programs. I think
Speaker 4: he has the gumption of someone whose house was rated,
Speaker 4: who was they tried to assassinate twice when agencies turned
Speaker 4: a blind eye, who was indicted falsely by you see
Speaker 4: a lot of his like I'm not even remotely saying
Speaker 4: this is revenge. This is a man who they have
Speaker 4: tempered right like like like steel in a forge. They
Speaker 4: made Trump this way because of what they did to him.
Speaker 4: They can't be surprised that he's going to try to
Speaker 4: undo a lot of the damage to the American people
Speaker 4: after what they've put him through. So if they want
Speaker 4: to blame anyone, they should blame themselves.
Speaker 1: Well, how about how about the diplomacy that we're seeing,
Speaker 1: I mean, really, at the speed of light. In less
Speaker 1: than twelve hours, he came out and said, my you know,
Speaker 1: my tariffs on on Mexico and my tariffs on Canada
Speaker 1: are going to take effect. And then in less than
Speaker 1: twelve hours, Canada comes to the table says we're launching
Speaker 1: a one point three billion dollar program Canadian dollars, which
Speaker 1: is about nine hundred million American You know that we're
Speaker 1: going to step up our patrols and our enforcement at
Speaker 1: the border. Then Mexico comes to the table and says
Speaker 1: we're sending ten thousand troops to the table. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is faster than lightning speed that anyone
Speaker 1: has ever seen in Washington, and they don't know how
Speaker 1: to handle it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And when you add on top of that what
Speaker 4: Secretary of State Rubio did with the Panama Canal, the
Speaker 4: Panamanian government canceled their contract with communists China, it does
Speaker 4: make you wonder what the previous administration did for four years?
Speaker 1: How about Rick Ronow being in those hostages homee, how
Speaker 1: about that exactly?
Speaker 4: They knew these things were there, did they not see
Speaker 4: them as important? Did they not have the will? Did
Speaker 4: they not have the desire? They knew that communist China
Speaker 4: was controlling the Panama Canal? Did they did nothing about it?
Speaker 4: They knew Venezuela had these hostages, they did nothing about it?
Speaker 4: They knew Mexico and Canada were facilitating the import of fentanol,
Speaker 4: they did nothing about it. So it is remarkable what
Speaker 4: government can do. And again, I may sound like I'm
Speaker 4: contradicting myself with the first part of our conversation where
Speaker 4: I blast government, but we're not anarchists. There is a
Speaker 4: role for government. And Donald Trump assuring everyone what government
Speaker 4: can do when it runs effectively.
Speaker 1: Well, it's got to be a role that's a lot
Speaker 1: smaller than what it is right now. And you and
Speaker 1: you touched on it earlier when you when you talk
Speaker 1: about cutting spending. You know, money is in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: I think more than anywhere else. Money is power. And
Speaker 1: that's why Pete Buddha Judge was you know, so so
Speaker 1: giddy towards the end of his term because he had
Speaker 1: a billion or so dollars he was able to laidle
Speaker 1: out under his administration the Secretary of Transportation, and so
Speaker 1: that that gave him a sense of power because he
Speaker 1: had money, when in reality, I mean he had I think,
Speaker 1: really no understanding, no concept of anything that had to
Speaker 1: do with either good policy or good governance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, a lot of these problems also are
Speaker 4: created by Congress themselves, because most politicians are too cowardly
Speaker 4: to put their name on specific spending legislation, so they
Speaker 4: either sneak it into an omnibus bill or they vote
Speaker 4: on something absurd like five hundred billion dollars to advance democracy. Well,
Speaker 4: there is no advanced democracy. What there is are hundreds
Speaker 4: and thousands of little, tiny, ten thousand dollars grants. And
Speaker 4: that's what Elon Musk is looking at and saying, well,
Speaker 4: you're not getting money, because how does that advance democracy?
Speaker 4: How does transgender puppet shows in Mexico advanced democracy? How does? So?
Speaker 4: If Congress really wanted transgender puppet shows in Mexico, they
Speaker 4: would pass a piece of legislation, but no one wants
Speaker 4: to put their name on that, dan, So what they
Speaker 4: do is they try to sneak it through allD. Elon
Speaker 4: Muskin his Doze Committee is doing and saying, hey, look
Speaker 4: this doesn't advance the actual stated goal. It's not going forward.
Speaker 4: So again, Congress to themselves is to blame. If they
Speaker 4: really wanted to fund these programs, they would just alter legislation.
Speaker 4: It's their job, right, But they don't want.
Speaker 1: To do that. All right, Well, Daniel Turner, we got
Speaker 1: to run, but and I didn't even get a chance.
Speaker 1: They ask you about Chevron, and apparently now they are
Speaker 1: calling the Golf of Mexico the Gulf of America. And
Speaker 1: I'm saying, when Sevron, when Sevron goes down that road,
Speaker 1: they ain't coming back.
Speaker 4: That's amazing, it's glorious to say.
Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, Power the Future. You're the best, my friend. Thanks,
Speaker 1: thanks as always for being We'll talk to you again soon,

Speaker 8: What about Caine the Big red Machine? The mayor of
Speaker 8: that town in.
Speaker 1: Tennessee, Kane was pretty good? Yeah, that was that. That
Speaker 1: was pretty good. But seg I saw a piece here
Speaker 1: talking about Super Bowl referees. How much do you think
Speaker 1: the referees who worked the Super Bowl get paid?
Speaker 8: I would say that they get a pretty penny for
Speaker 8: doing that.
Speaker 1: So you're average NFL referee makes a little over two
Speaker 1: hundred grand a year. Okay, so that's not bad to
Speaker 1: begin with. That works out to about twelve grand a game.
Speaker 1: Not bad. So you're out there, you're doing your referee work,
Speaker 1: you come in, you change your clothes, you got to
Speaker 1: check there. For twelve grand, that's not bad. Not bad.
Speaker 1: Let's see, uh for the for the Super Bowl, well,
Speaker 1: postseason they get a little bonus for about four grand
Speaker 1: for every postseason game, and then for the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: they can get a bonus of between thirty and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Wow, how about that for the referees Persy Percy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: before or after the Chiefs deal? Well, I guess you know,
Speaker 1: if if you got to, if you got if you
Speaker 1: got to give the Chiefs a little home cooking that
Speaker 1: might cost a little bit more a little that's a bonus.
Speaker 1: You ain't get no takeout recue year. If you do that,
Speaker 1: you got you gotta give. You got to give the
Speaker 1: Chiefs some home some home cooking.
Speaker 8: Of course.
Speaker 1: You believe any of that stuff? No, I mean there's
Speaker 1: all those conspiracy theories out there talking about now you
Speaker 1: know they always want the Chiefs to win. Mahomes always
Speaker 1: against the calls, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8: Gotta beat him.
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Eagles will do it. It should be good.
Speaker 1: How many how many times we're going to see Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift on TV?
Speaker 8: She may say at halftime they said, with WA's his name?
Speaker 8: I don't know who? Who's the dude singing?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't either, do you? I don't

Speaker 1: Can you name it? And then Beyonce? Want I guess
Speaker 1: one another Grammy. Yeah, the other day, how many Beyonce
Speaker 1: songs can you name? How about Kanye West's wife the
Speaker 1: other night? That dress you see her? I know you
Speaker 1: saw it. I heard you talking about it.
Speaker 8: And then how about what I mean, Will Smith's kid
Speaker 8: with that castle on his head? I mean, do you
Speaker 8: imagine if you're sitting behind him, I mean, let him
Speaker 8: out of the house like that?

Speaker 8: Like, So, I don't know. I saw those two things
Speaker 8: happen the other night. I'm going, what in the wide
Speaker 8: wide world of sports is going on here?

Speaker 1: I mean, Will hardly see his face.
Speaker 8: And then his sister's out there and she's hardly got
Speaker 8: nothing on.
Speaker 1: What was that dress made out of? Though I have
Speaker 1: made out of plastic or.

Speaker 1: They threw him out.
Speaker 8: He crashes the party, and and they you know, and
Speaker 8: he wasn't even Kanye West's white wasn't even invited.

Speaker 1: rep for an NFL get for million the super Bowl?
Speaker 1: You know that modest? I mean that's because.
Speaker 8: You know you have a good you know, they evaluate
Speaker 8: those referees and it's an honor to do those games.
Speaker 8: It's like Randy Marsham umpiring, like World Series playoffs. That's
Speaker 8: that's the ultimate, you know.
Speaker 1: I can't believe they don't have full time reps though.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know the.

Speaker 1: two fifty seven, a couple of minutes to go here
Speaker 1: before Eddie and Rocky take over, Dan Carroll, And for
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, thank you for listening. I'll be back on Friday.
Speaker 1: For Cunningham. In the meantime, I've got my Wednesday and
Speaker 1: Thursday night shows here on seven hundred WLW nine minut night.
Speaker 1: So if you want to tune in then that'll be
Speaker 1: great and I appreciate that. So I just look back
Speaker 1: at all the stuff I talked about today, and it
Speaker 1: really is a catalog of one government failure after another.
Speaker 1: And I talked to my buddy Michael Monks out in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and we talked about what's happening with the
Speaker 1: people whose homes were burned down in the wild filers there.
Speaker 1: I mean an absolute just a disgraceful tragedy, made worse
Speaker 1: by the fact that those people still could not get
Speaker 1: back in their homes, or not well not get back
Speaker 1: in their homes, but get back to what's left of
Speaker 1: their homes to start the process of rebuilding. Now, obviously
Speaker 1: there are safety concerns but how long has it been?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Three weeks, four weeks, a month? This is what year
Speaker 1: is this? Twenty twenty five? Do we not have ways
Speaker 1: to mitigate that? They say, if you're going to go
Speaker 1: in there and work on your home, you've got to
Speaker 1: wear a mask. Didn't we have mansks that protected us
Speaker 1: or we were told that we're going to protect us
Speaker 1: from the from the wuhan virus if you walked around
Speaker 1: with a mask you could buy for seventy five cents
Speaker 1: at a Walmart that you needed to have that if
Speaker 1: you were going to walk into restore or place where
Speaker 1: anybody was going to be, and you had to have
Speaker 1: that on so you didn't infect other people. And we
Speaker 1: can't get something any sort of protective equipment for people
Speaker 1: out there who want to get rid of everything that
Speaker 1: burned down, get their lots cleaned off, and you know
Speaker 1: those and not everyone has the means out there to
Speaker 1: do that. But even after the president went out there
Speaker 1: and told the mayor that they had to, you know,
Speaker 1: cut the red tape, let people get in there and
Speaker 1: start cleaning up their homes. A massive failure there and
Speaker 1: elsewhere in California. You've got this power plant, this a
Speaker 1: solar powered plant that it did little more than incinerar
Speaker 1: eate thousands of birds over the year. Never lived up
Speaker 1: to us expectations, and we spend billions of dollars on
Speaker 1: that was supposed to last about twenty five years and
Speaker 1: they got about eleven years of use out of it,
Speaker 1: and a complete boondoggle there. And it goes on and
Speaker 1: on and on. That's it for me. I'll see you
Speaker 1: tomorrow night on my show, Wednesday and Thursday night, and
Speaker 1: then back here again on Friday for Bill Cunningham on
Speaker 1: the Home of the Reds and spring training starts next week.

Speaker 1: WLW nine to midnight, So if you want to tune
Speaker 1: in then that'll be great and I appreciate that. So ye,
Speaker 1: I just look back at all the stuff I talked
Speaker 1: about today, and it really is a catalog of one
Speaker 1: government failure after another. And I talked to my buddy
Speaker 1: Michael Monks out in Los Angeles and we talked about
Speaker 1: what's happening with the people whose homes were burned down
Speaker 1: in the wild filers there. I mean, an absolute, just
Speaker 1: disgraceful tragedy, made worse by the fact that those people
Speaker 1: still could not get back in their homes or not
Speaker 1: may well not get back in their homes, but get
Speaker 1: back to what's left of their homes to start the
Speaker 1: process of rebuilding. Now, obviously there are safety concerns, but
Speaker 1: how long has it been now three weeks, four weeks,
Speaker 1: a month? Do we this is what year is this?
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five? Do we not have ways to mitigate that?
Speaker 1: They say, if you're going to go in there and
Speaker 1: work on your home, you've got to wear a mask.
Speaker 1: Didn't we have masks that protected us or we were
Speaker 1: told that we're going to protect us from the from
Speaker 1: the wuhan virus if you walked around with a mask
Speaker 1: you could buy for seventy five cents at a Walmart
Speaker 1: that you needed to have that if you were going
Speaker 1: to walk into restore or place where anybody was going
Speaker 1: to be and you had to have that on so
Speaker 1: you didn't infect other people. And we can't get something,
Speaker 1: any sort of protective equipment for people out there who
Speaker 1: want to get rid of everything that burned down, get
Speaker 1: their lots cleaned off, and you know those not everyone
Speaker 1: has the means out there to do that. But even
Speaker 1: after the president went out there and told the mayor
Speaker 1: that they had to, you know, cut the red tape,
Speaker 1: let people get in there and start cleaning up their homes,
Speaker 1: a massive failure there and elsewhere in California. You've got
Speaker 1: this power plant, this a solar powered plant that it
Speaker 1: did little more than incinerar eate thousands of birds over
Speaker 1: the year. Never lived up to us expectations, and we
Speaker 1: spent billions of dollars on that was supposed to last
Speaker 1: about twenty five years and they got about eleven years
Speaker 1: of use out of it, and a complete boondoggle there,
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on and on. That's it
Speaker 1: for me. I'll see you tomorrow night on my show,
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday night, and then back here again on
Speaker 1: Friday for Bill Cunningham on the Home of the Reds.
Speaker 1: And spring training starts next week. Seven hundred WLW
