Speaker 1: By twelve.
Speaker 2: Wait, it's the average American in for the great American.
Speaker 2: How are you other than hot? On this hot and
Speaker 2: humid Wednesday, it is. It's a smoker out there again today. Hey,
Speaker 2: but the Reds must love the heat, right, two in
Speaker 2: a row over the Yankees and a chance to sweep
Speaker 2: them tonight. And there is nothing wrong on the face
Speaker 2: of the earth about that, not at all. Meanwhile, over
Speaker 2: at the NATO summit meetings, reporters continue to spar with
Speaker 2: President Trump and his Secretary of State Mario Rubio over
Speaker 2: this report that was released that the bombings that took
Speaker 2: place on Saturday. This is low level confidence in this report.
Speaker 2: But of course the media has seized on this because
Speaker 2: the media hates Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: They may hate you, but they hate Donald.
Speaker 2: Trump even more. And so did it really work out?
Speaker 2: Was it really this way? Did you really do a
Speaker 2: lot of damage? It's embarrassing to me what the profession
Speaker 2: that I spent forty five years in my life in
Speaker 2: has become. It is absolutely embarrassing. But nevertheless, that's going
Speaker 2: on over at NATO. There was a question asked if
Speaker 2: Trump when they asked him, look, if you catch Iran
Speaker 2: trying to rebuild its nuclear power plants and maybe trying
Speaker 2: to get back to the business of building another bomb
Speaker 2: that might have nuclear capacity. Would you bomb them again?
Speaker 2: And he said absolutely sure. It's like, come on, if
Speaker 2: you got to ask a dumb question, then expect an
Speaker 2: answer that comes your way back.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he would. It's been a successful trip.
Speaker 2: He's gotten other NATO nations to pony up to the
Speaker 2: share that they should have been spending on NATO all along.
Speaker 1: Everybody but Spain now is at five percent.
Speaker 2: But of course, you know, when you've got somebody on
Speaker 2: the run, and there are desperate people in desperate times,
Speaker 2: they do desperate things. And we have no idea in
Speaker 2: this country right now how many Iranian nationals are here.
Speaker 1: We have absolutely no idea are here.
Speaker 2: We do know how many that have been encountered at
Speaker 2: the border between February twenty one and November twenty four,
Speaker 2: it was about seventeen hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1: We don't know how many were in those gotaways.
Speaker 2: And there were a lot of gotaways that simply rushed
Speaker 2: the border and overwhelmed the border patrol or snuck by
Speaker 2: the border patrol. Under Joe Biden's America, So what of
Speaker 2: these sleeper cells that might have been planted here just
Speaker 2: waiting for the ghost signal from Tehran standing by the way,
Speaker 2: And as somebody who's as concerned about this as me
Speaker 2: at the under for Immigration Studies, there's no one more
Speaker 2: revered than my guest, Andrew Arthur is a writer extraordinaire
Speaker 2: on all things border, all things illegal, all things threats
Speaker 2: to this country. And I wanted to get Andrew on
Speaker 2: to talk about this because these trusts written today published
Speaker 2: a terrific story about all of it. So let's bring
Speaker 2: him on in. Andrew Arthur, how are you on this
Speaker 2: glorious Wednesday, Dan.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, and thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: I read your story this morning and several other things
Speaker 2: that you've written about this. It would seem to me
Speaker 2: that Iran, which is a very difficult country to leave,
Speaker 2: would let all of these Iranian nationals leave and go
Speaker 2: to our southern border and enter into our country unless
Speaker 2: they had the blessing the knowledge by the man that
Speaker 2: runs that country, the Ayahtola. So that's why I'm skeptical
Speaker 2: about whether or not these people that came through the
Speaker 2: border are here to do damage. When I look at
Speaker 2: the Chinese nationals, those of those men of military age.
Speaker 2: And I see these numbers of Iranian nationals, I'm thinking
Speaker 2: to myself, they're not here just because they like in
Speaker 2: and out burger. They're here for something else, and I
Speaker 2: think it might be the sleeper cells. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: Am I walking down the road? Am I trying to
Speaker 2: be you know? The sky is falling here? Or do
Speaker 2: you think there is something to this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, there's a lot of questionable factors that are
Speaker 3: weighing into all of this. As you mentioned, there were
Speaker 3: seventeen hundred and fifty apprehensions of Iranian nationals by border
Speaker 3: patrol agents under the Boden administration, and that's especially curious
Speaker 3: because they have mandatory conscription in Iran and if you're
Speaker 3: a military age male, you're not allowed out of Iran.
Speaker 3: That's a twentyfold increase compared to the period twenty fourteen
Speaker 3: to FY twenty twenty. So we seem to have a
Speaker 3: whole lot of the audience coming to the United States,
Speaker 3: all under the Biden administration, all taking advantage of the
Speaker 3: Biden border fiasco.
Speaker 2: You mentioned in your article that the border patrol encountered
Speaker 2: an additional seventy two hundred and sixty in admissible Iranian
Speaker 2: nationals at the port of entries.
Speaker 1: That's over and above who were.
Speaker 2: Coming in over the river or through the woods or
Speaker 2: whatever it might have been along Texas. And that's a
Speaker 2: sixty percent increase over the physical year period of twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: Through twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: All right, so we know that they can't get out
Speaker 2: unless there's a reason for them to get out. Where
Speaker 2: do they go when they get here? What's your suspicion.
Speaker 2: Did they all migrate to the big city Chicago, New York,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles? Could they be here in Cincinnati. Could they
Speaker 2: be in Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapolis, just sitting there waiting for
Speaker 2: the go sign from Tehran.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know that leads to another problem with
Speaker 3: this population of people, because the Biden administration released about
Speaker 3: eighty eight percent of all of the inadmissible aliens we're
Speaker 3: apprehended at the ports and by border patrol, and it
Speaker 3: really didn't keep track of any of them. They could
Speaker 3: have gone anywhere in the United States. And you know,
Speaker 3: now it's up to you know, Tom Homan and Donald
Speaker 3: Trump to go out and find the ball, run them down,
Speaker 3: figure out why they're here, and make sure, they don't
Speaker 3: post a danger to our country.
Speaker 2: Okay, So sleeper cells just by definition, and tell me
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong on this definition. They're spies, they're terrorists,
Speaker 2: they're operatives from countries like Iran, and they just go
Speaker 2: and they assimulate into the community. Maybe they find jobs,
Speaker 2: maybe they're paid under the table, who knows what. But
Speaker 2: they always have a contact. There's someone that they that
Speaker 2: is in charge of contacting them. It might be somebody
Speaker 2: that's also in this country who's in contact with someone
Speaker 2: in Iran, but there's always someone that they answer to.
Speaker 2: There could be a chain like this. We saw it
Speaker 2: by and large with sleeper cells after nine eleven, where
Speaker 2: at that point it was the Talle band that was
Speaker 2: operating in places like ton of Wanda, New York and
Speaker 2: other places. And these these sleeper cells just kind of assimulate.
Speaker 2: They just assimulate and they just kind of lay low
Speaker 2: until that call. And that call might be tonight, it
Speaker 2: might be tomorrow, it might be a year from now,
Speaker 2: it might might be five years from now. But that's
Speaker 2: what they're placed here for. Is that the definition of
Speaker 2: a sleeper cell.
Speaker 3: That's the exact definition of a sleeper cell. And It's
Speaker 3: important to note ken that the real power in Iran
Speaker 3: is held by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps the i
Speaker 3: rg CD, which is basically the storm troopers of the
Speaker 3: Malas in Tehran, and they run very sophisticated intelligence networks.
Speaker 3: They run very sophisticated terrorism networks all around the world,
Speaker 3: so you know, you know, they have the ability to
Speaker 3: move those people into the United States, to send orders
Speaker 3: them in the United States, and to have them carry
Speaker 3: out the will of the IRGC in the United States
Speaker 3: or anywhere else in the world that we might have asset.
Speaker 1: So basically they're tools.
Speaker 2: Okay, from what I understand, they may be recruited through
Speaker 2: religious contacts, social media and that you look at someone
Speaker 2: and you say, Okay, you know, you really can help
Speaker 2: the cause out, you really can help COMMANI out. You
Speaker 2: can really help take down the great State in America,
Speaker 2: and you can help take down the little Satan Israel
Speaker 2: because of all this injustice and religious persecution that's going
Speaker 2: on in your life. They get to these people from
Speaker 2: by a very emotional path.
Speaker 1: In is what I've been told? Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's exactly in it. And it's important to note
Speaker 3: the fact that we have large Iranian populations in the
Speaker 3: United States, and nearly all of those people are patriotic.
Speaker 1: They're here because they.
Speaker 3: Don't like what's going on in the Islamic Republic. They
Speaker 3: want to be Americans, they want to contribute to our society.
Speaker 3: But it's all too easy for bad actors to insinuate
Speaker 3: themselves into those communities and to you know, take action. Fortunately, again,
Speaker 3: we have a lot of patriotic Iranians who are willing
Speaker 3: to help identify those people, but sometimes it's very difficult
Speaker 3: to find them. We also have the problem that you
Speaker 3: reference of people who become radicalized in the United States.
Speaker 3: You can look at any college campus. American citizens here
Speaker 3: for five generations are becoming radicalized by some of these thoughts.
Speaker 3: And so, you know, that's another concern that we have.
Speaker 2: Reading here from a news story I think is from
Speaker 2: News Nation, they quot a retired special agent in the FBI,
Speaker 2: a man by the name of James Gagliano, who said
Speaker 2: that if you go back as far as September eleven
Speaker 2: individuals who have actually entered the country legally, had we
Speaker 2: checked their visus properly, obviously, we would have known about
Speaker 2: nine eleven and because we would know. Then the difficult
Speaker 2: part of all of this is the fact that this
Speaker 2: due diligence was not in place, and therefore nine to
Speaker 2: eleven happened. But it could be people that have come
Speaker 2: through here illegally. We don't know. I mean, that's the problem.
Speaker 2: You know, America is the land of the Free, and
Speaker 2: we have open borders now, but certainly it used to
Speaker 2: be you had to go through a process to become
Speaker 2: a citizen in this country. Still do We'll see how
Speaker 2: many continue to do that, but you still do have
Speaker 2: to go through that process. But even if you go
Speaker 2: through that process, you're never really totally sure if that
Speaker 2: person is coming to this country to be a good citizen,
Speaker 2: contribute to society, pay their taxes, become a member of
Speaker 2: a community for the good. You really don't know. And
Speaker 2: I would also use as a caveat to that too, Andrew,
Speaker 2: is you really don't know about people that were born
Speaker 2: here and are here by birth and whether or not
Speaker 2: they've been compromised by some from the outside world. This
Speaker 2: radicalism that goes on all around the world, it touches
Speaker 2: not just people that come here illegally. It can also
Speaker 2: get the people that are here, born here, live here,
Speaker 2: and for the most part, are good citizens. Then who
Speaker 2: knows the button is pushed, the word gets out, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose. You never
Speaker 2: really do know, do you?
Speaker 3: No, you don't. And that's especially a problem when you're
Speaker 3: talking about Iran. The reason that President Trump put Iran
Speaker 3: on his travel band.
Speaker 4: List is because we don't have the ability to.
Speaker 3: Vet anybody who is coming out of Iran. It's not
Speaker 3: like the Iranian government is going to tell us that
Speaker 3: somebody is an IRGC member, or you know, has a
Speaker 3: criminal background, or you know, any other bad information in
Speaker 3: their past, and you have very little information about I
Speaker 3: think it's ninety million people who live in Iran, so
Speaker 3: it's going to be very difficult to find the bad
Speaker 3: actors and separate them from the good ones.
Speaker 2: Now, the mainstream media, the NBC's, the CNNs of the world,
Speaker 2: they would have you believe that all of this consternation
Speaker 2: over sleeper cells is overblown, that there's really nothing to it,
Speaker 2: that it's always been bubbling below the surface, but that
Speaker 2: America is more vigilant than what it was in twenty
Speaker 2: oh one. I'm just wondering, your guy who makes his
Speaker 2: living study and immigration. Your guy that not just saw
Speaker 2: what happened, You understand deeply what happened. Ever since Joe
Speaker 2: Biden took office to when he left office back in January,
Speaker 2: how concerned are you that this sleeper cell problem is
Speaker 2: real and dangerous.
Speaker 3: I believe that it's absolutely a certainty that there are
Speaker 3: Iranian agents living in the United States and operating in
Speaker 3: the United States. If the Islamic Republic were to actually
Speaker 3: order them, and we could prove it that they were
Speaker 3: here to act against the American people, it would be
Speaker 3: a suicide note sent by the Malas to the American people.
Speaker 3: They would be asking for the United States Air Force to.
Speaker 4: Go back into Iran. But you know, there's always.
Speaker 3: The possibility that they'd be able to carry out an attack,
Speaker 3: and then you know, Iran would deny they had anything
Speaker 3: to it. You know, we're completely innocent about this. You know,
Speaker 3: we can't do anything about our people that you've led
Speaker 3: into our into your country. So yeah, I mean they're
Speaker 3: definitely operating here. The likelihood that they're going to carry
Speaker 3: out an attack is too big a risk for us
Speaker 3: to take.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrew Arthur Center for Immigration Studies, Our guest. We
Speaker 2: saw major ruling by the Supreme Court this week with
Speaker 2: regards to Trump and deportations, and by and large the
Speaker 2: green light has been lit. We also see how difficult
Speaker 2: it is anymore because of these activist mayors, guy in Nashville,
Speaker 2: of course, the cesspool that is Los Angeles. We see
Speaker 2: how difficult it is for ICE to carry out its work.
Speaker 2: We just had a judge up in, a guy by
Speaker 2: the name of Brian Murphy, nominated to the bench by
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, confirmed to the bench after
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four election in the lane duck period
Speaker 2: of the Senate forty seven to forty five. Biden was
Speaker 2: the person who nominated at the request of Warren and
Speaker 2: Markey nominated Brian Murphy to the district bench in Boston.
Speaker 2: And by and large, this guy is just going to
Speaker 2: defy the Supreme Court. He said that, you know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what the Supreme Court ruled earlier this week.
Speaker 1: My ruling remains in effect.
Speaker 2: And so there's another judge that thinks he rules the world,
Speaker 2: if not the nation, when it comes to things like
Speaker 2: this and others. I'm just wondering there's a major piece
Speaker 2: of legislation that is sitting before the Supreme Court, and
Speaker 2: we may get a ruling out of it as early
Speaker 2: as tomorrow, which would put all of these district judges
Speaker 2: in play in their place as opposed to where they
Speaker 2: are now dictating law of the land for and sitting
Speaker 2: on a bench with a very limited purview. If indeed
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court does the right thing Andrew and they say,
Speaker 2: look in this case, Judge Murphy, in other cases Judge Boseburg,
Speaker 2: and all these other ones, they think that they run
Speaker 2: our immigration policy. If indeed the Supreme Court comes out
Speaker 2: tomorrow hopefully and says, look, you got a nice little
Speaker 2: courtroom there, but it doesn't run the world. How much
Speaker 2: easier does that make Trump to enforce his immigration policy
Speaker 2: that's being met at all angles, it seems like by
Speaker 2: not just activist judges, but by mayors and governors of states.
Speaker 1: Does it make it easier in your opinion?
Speaker 2: Or will it still be this battle that goes on
Speaker 2: every time an ice agent tries to grab an illegal
Speaker 2: alien and send him back to wherever he or she
Speaker 2: has come from.
Speaker 4: It will be much ease.
Speaker 3: You're in Congress intended for it to be much easier
Speaker 3: than the process that is working right now. In the
Speaker 3: Immigration and Nationality Act, Congress has stripped district court judges
Speaker 3: of most of their ability to make orders at all,
Speaker 3: all the Supreme Court, and I'm familiar with those because
Speaker 3: I actually wrote some of them back in two thousand
Speaker 3: and five.
Speaker 4: When I was on the hill.
Speaker 3: All it requires is for the Supreme Court to force
Speaker 3: district court judges to comply with those restrictions that Congress.
Speaker 4: Has already put on them, and.
Speaker 3: This process is going to work a lot more quickly.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that Trump's going to win every case.
Speaker 3: They're still going to be heard by the Circuit Court,
Speaker 3: but it's going to stop this piecemeal litigation where judges
Speaker 3: feel that they can just shut down entire immigration policies
Speaker 3: because they don't like how the immigration officers are acting.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: John Roberts is not a fan of Donald Trump's. I
Speaker 2: think that's evident. But I think he's got to do
Speaker 2: the right thing here because if not, you'll have what
Speaker 2: is now chaos to the nth degree. And regardless of
Speaker 2: whether you believe that Donald Trump ie is right or wrong,
Speaker 2: whatever it may be, there will be at some point
Speaker 2: down the road a Democrat in office. And unless the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court actually takes a stand on this thing in
Speaker 2: a very definitive way, that Democrat is going to have
Speaker 2: the same problems. Maybe a different case. Maybe it's not immigration,
Speaker 2: it might be something else with a bunch of other
Speaker 2: district judges popping up trying to dictate which way this
Speaker 2: country should go. So this is a big stay in
Speaker 2: your lane vote. And I hope the Supreme Court does
Speaker 2: the right thing, because all it's done now is ignore
Speaker 2: the thing and turn to all of these judges loose
Speaker 2: with regards to sleeper sales, Andrew, I'm with you. I
Speaker 2: think they are here, and I think the FBI is
Speaker 2: now has its eyes on that as opposed to school
Speaker 2: board meetings and Catholics wanting to get communion. So hopefully
Speaker 2: with cash Betell in charge of that group, now maybe
Speaker 2: they're a little more vigilant about this stuff too, But
Speaker 2: we really need to keep our eyes open and as
Speaker 2: average citizens, I mean it used to be back in
Speaker 2: nine to eleven days, see something, say something.
Speaker 1: I think that applies here now too, do you not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean eternal vigilance is the price
Speaker 3: of liberty. And you know, in this uncertain world, where
Speaker 3: we have enemies on every side. Hopefully President Trump's going
Speaker 3: to make.
Speaker 4: The world a little bit more peaceful.
Speaker 3: But in the interim, everybody needs to be aware and
Speaker 3: we need to get out of ice this way and
Speaker 3: let them do their job.
Speaker 2: Andrew Arthur, you can find him at CIS dot org
Speaker 2: all things immigration, and they have been on top of
Speaker 2: this issue for a very very long time. Okay, Andrew,
Speaker 2: appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: Stay well.
Speaker 2: We need to hear your voice until next time. Thank
Speaker 2: you for your time right now, thank.
Speaker 4: You, Thank you so much. Ken It's coming up.
Speaker 2: On twelve twenty seven on a smoking Hot Wednesday, Smoking
Speaker 2: hot show with a smoking hot well, I don't want
Speaker 2: to take it that far. News Radio seven hundred a
Speaker 2: WLW seven hundred WYLW Welcome back.
Speaker 5: It is the.
Speaker 1: Average American and for the great American.
Speaker 2: Got a lot to get to today, and we shall
Speaker 2: get to it because we are not going to delay
Speaker 2: reds Baseball one iota as they go for the sweep
Speaker 2: tonight against the dreaded New York Yankees.
Speaker 1: How to pick up on something.
Speaker 2: That that Andrew Arthur just said about immigration.
Speaker 1: Nearly one million illegal.
Speaker 2: Immigrants, nearly one million, most of whom have probably come
Speaker 2: into this country under the last administration. Nearly one million
Speaker 2: have self deported under President Trump. And so we see
Speaker 2: the video all over the country of ICE agents going
Speaker 2: in and you know they're they're grabbing people.
Speaker 1: They have masks on. Why are they wearing masks?
Speaker 2: They shouldn't wear masks, because we have some people in
Speaker 2: big cities that are doxing these guys and exposing them.
Speaker 2: That's their job. They're going after people that are here illegally.
Speaker 2: And while they're getting all of the headlines, and you
Speaker 2: see it on the nightly news, and isn't this terrible
Speaker 2: the headline that nobody seems to be paying attention to.
Speaker 2: Of course, because it's not as sexy, it's not as
Speaker 2: vigil a visual. You don't get the clicks with stories
Speaker 2: like this. Said, almost a million of these people have said,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm getting the hell out of here
Speaker 2: before I get thrown in a van and sent back
Speaker 2: to wherever I came from. And I'll try it the
Speaker 2: right way, which is what it should have been all along. Now,
Speaker 2: the reasons why it was that way under Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: we can speculate. I mean, there are some theories that
Speaker 2: make more sense than others. But by and large it happened.
Speaker 2: We saw it, and the Center for Inrogation Studies, Andrew, Arthur,
Speaker 2: Todd Bensman, who have had on this show quite a
Speaker 2: bit bit to a lesser degree, Fox and to no
Speaker 2: degree CNN, ABC and NBC, CIS and Ben'sman and Arthur
Speaker 2: had been on top of this story since Joe Biden
Speaker 2: took office. Fox got hiped to it maybe two years later.
Speaker 2: The other networks the only time they covered the problem
Speaker 2: is when there was some sort of consternation or some
Speaker 2: sort of fight between the state of Texas, for example,
Speaker 2: and the federal government, and you had these masses of
Speaker 2: immigrants that were huddled underneath overpasses waiting to either get
Speaker 2: through the border or storm through the border. They couldn't
Speaker 2: give one rat's patuity about it until then, and then
Speaker 2: it became a humanitarian issue.
Speaker 1: So here we sit.
Speaker 2: In June of twenty twenty five, after we just bombed
Speaker 2: but Jesus out of Iran, after we did something that
Speaker 2: every single president before Trump should have done but did
Speaker 2: not because they didn't have the brains or.
Speaker 1: The guts to do it.
Speaker 2: Here we sit with all of these people that are
Speaker 2: in this country illegally from Iran. Arthur mentioned something that
Speaker 2: I think needs to be reiterated, and I said the
Speaker 2: same thing about China. Military aged able bodied people do
Speaker 2: not leave their country in Iran, or in China and
Speaker 2: several others. But those particular countries, they don't leave unless
Speaker 2: they have the blessing of someone in that government, whether
Speaker 2: it was the Ayatola himself in Iran or she in China.
Speaker 2: They don't what those let people that are of that
Speaker 2: age and of that particular physical stature, they don't let
Speaker 2: them out of the country. But we let them right
Speaker 2: in the central on on the southern border. And now
Speaker 2: we got this problem. And so while some media folks
Speaker 2: will tell you it's nothing more than chicken little, this
Speaker 2: guy is falling. We've seen how sleeper celles operate in
Speaker 2: this country before. Now we've got a new regime in
Speaker 2: this country. We have a new leader of the FBI
Speaker 2: who's been on the job I believe since February, so
Speaker 2: a little more than four months has Cash Betel been
Speaker 2: on the job. The guy he replaced, and the guy
Speaker 2: that guy replaced seemed to be more interest in ideology
Speaker 2: and political ben than actually doing the job, and so
Speaker 2: it became a weaponized arm of the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2: And we can relitigate everything if you want. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: we can talk about COVID and what was enforced. Then
Speaker 2: we can talk about schools, we can talk about Catholics,
Speaker 2: we can talk about whatever.
Speaker 1: We know it we saw it.
Speaker 2: And so now this new group has to put fresh
Speaker 2: eyes on the problem of where are these people that
Speaker 2: came into this country illegally? The seventeen hundred and some
Speaker 2: odd Iranian nationals that were encountered at ports of entry
Speaker 2: during the Bidom administration and then let into the country.
Speaker 2: What happened when they we get to a point of entry,
Speaker 2: they would be confronted by the border patrol and then
Speaker 2: they would be handed you know, almost like a greeter
Speaker 2: at Walmart. They would be handed Yeah, come back in
Speaker 2: three years from this coming Tuesday, and we'll have your
Speaker 2: court appearance. They're not coming back. And that says nothing
Speaker 2: of at least the two million people that simply got away.
Speaker 2: They got they just ran across the border into the
Speaker 2: night where they went to do what God only knows.
Speaker 2: But anyway, if you want to stay on top of that,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm just telling you I get no money for
Speaker 2: saying this, but cis dot org is just absolutely terrific.
Speaker 1: So we got we got that down.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about what life is going to
Speaker 2: be like if this regime falls in Iran, and one
Speaker 2: would think it would. The economy is ruined in that country,
Speaker 2: the sanctions that have been put on that secondary sanctions
Speaker 2: have been put on Iran, and that means that any
Speaker 2: country that tries to do business with Iran is thereby
Speaker 2: sanctioned by the United States. Iran's got Iran basically has
Speaker 2: two things. It's got oil and it's got a depleting
Speaker 2: amount of missiles.
Speaker 1: And that's it.
Speaker 2: As John McCain once famously said about Russia, it applies
Speaker 2: to Iran. It's just one big giant gas station. And
Speaker 2: if they can't sell their oil, they can't function, you know,
Speaker 2: And because of that, there is abject poverty along the
Speaker 2: streets of Tehran and places in that country, and eventually
Speaker 2: the proletariat, if you will, become upset with the leadership,
Speaker 2: and that's when regime change comes from within. And I
Speaker 2: don't know, I think that's you know, once I think
Speaker 2: the people that country saw just how Israel and the
Speaker 2: United States pounded them militarily. Well, then there is you know,
Speaker 2: the Ayatola who apparently speaks on a daily basis with God.
Speaker 2: How awcome God didn't tell you it was coming.
Speaker 1: Anyhow?
Speaker 2: So I'm watching this Reds game last night. Let's talk
Speaker 2: about something happier. Watching this Reds game last night, and
Speaker 2: I saw something that just kind of struck me.
Speaker 1: They brought Chase Burns up.
Speaker 2: Chase Burns, I think was the twelfth rated minor league
Speaker 2: prospect in oil of baseball. He was taken with the
Speaker 2: second round in last year's Major League Baseball Draft. Now,
Speaker 2: in years past, the Reds, ever or payroll conscious, would
Speaker 2: not bring a player along that quickly because it starts
Speaker 2: his major league clock, and what starts then, well, his
Speaker 2: road to arbitration and then his road to free agency.
Speaker 2: And the last thing that the Reds have wanted to
Speaker 2: do historically was have to pay a lot of money
Speaker 2: too soon for one of their ballplayers. But yet here
Speaker 2: they are at forty two and thirty eight, very much
Speaker 2: alive for a playoff berth, and they had to win
Speaker 2: last night's game. This wasn't about let's bring Chase Burns
Speaker 2: up here and get them some major league experience. This
Speaker 2: was they had to win last night's game, and they
Speaker 2: took on the Yankees, who coming into this series had
Speaker 2: a record of forty five and thirty two. They were
Speaker 2: one of the best teams in baseball, had a pretty
Speaker 2: good road record before coming in here twenty one and sixteen.
Speaker 2: But Burns got onto the mound last night and I said,
Speaker 2: the last thing you want to do with any player,
Speaker 2: but particularly a pitcher, is hurry them along and throw
Speaker 2: them into a situation where they are not ready. Chase
Speaker 2: Burns got out there last night and just melted on
Speaker 2: the mound. The last thing the Red should have done
Speaker 2: was to keep him up here and send him out
Speaker 2: again and see if he can get a couple of starts,
Speaker 2: and then we'll send him back down on the miners
Speaker 2: so as clock stops ticking. No, they didn't do that,
Speaker 2: and he didn't do that, and he has certainly earned
Speaker 2: himself another start in the rotation, particularly with the injuries
Speaker 2: that they have to Hunter Green and to the guy
Speaker 2: that was going to fill his spot, Wade Miley, Chase Burns,
Speaker 2: I hope you saw what he did last night. The
Speaker 2: line says five innings, pitch six hits, three earned runs,
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts. This is what Chase Burns did. If you
Speaker 2: didn't see this, it would be difficult to describe. But
Speaker 2: I'll try. Struck out the side in the first inning,
Speaker 2: including Aaron Judge. Struck out Aaron Judge. Second inning, strikes
Speaker 2: out the first two guys. He sees Bellinger and Goldschmid
Speaker 2: gives up a single, strikes out Volpi. Now he's got
Speaker 2: six straight strikeouts. Go to the top of the third,
Speaker 2: Scarless gets a couple of groundouts, strikes at another guy.
Speaker 2: This guy's humming along, and yeah, he gave up. He
Speaker 2: gave up three runs. He gave up three runs, gave
Speaker 2: up a home run to Rice uh Friedo. I think
Speaker 2: miss Playwi. I'll think he misplayed a ball in center
Speaker 2: field and two more runs scored, albeit earned. But nevertheless,
Speaker 2: I think in a perfect world, freedom makes that play.
Speaker 2: And maybe it's only one run in. But by and large,
Speaker 2: Chase Burns was terrific last night, Absolutely terrific. And he admits,
Speaker 2: you know, going in he had to watch himself a
Speaker 2: little bit. He was he was a little lamped up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't amped up.
Speaker 6: But I felt at ease if anything. Definitely, emotions were high.
Speaker 6: But I could just go out there and smile. So
Speaker 6: it was fun to do. But yeah, that's all I
Speaker 6: can say. It's so fun.
Speaker 2: Then here's Terry FRANCONA right guy, comes out of retirement.
Speaker 2: He's in the Hall of Fame. It's only a question
Speaker 2: of when he comes out of retirement and he gets
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati. He looks at his ball club. Wow, Hunter Green, Yeah,
Speaker 2: pretty well, Hunter Green's hurt. Probably gone to at least
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, maybe after that. Well, he got
Speaker 2: Austin Hayes. You know, Austin Hayes. That was a pretty
Speaker 2: good pick up, kind of a pillow contract. But nevertheless,
Speaker 2: this is a guy a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Is good.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 2: Austin Hayes has been on the injured list three times
Speaker 2: so far in twenty twenty five. He's got an everyday
Speaker 2: eight that includes Ellie data Cruz terrific, great ballplayer, no
Speaker 2: argument there. What else you got? I got Tyler Stevenson. Yeah,
Speaker 2: good catcher. See how durable he is. It's been a
Speaker 2: problem with him, but he's coming out of retirement to
Speaker 2: manage a team.
Speaker 1: He thinks.
Speaker 2: You know, if I just do this, I just do that,
Speaker 2: and it really he hadn't fallen into place here until recently.
Speaker 2: And he's out there in the dugout last night. He's
Speaker 2: watching what this guy Burns does. That was called up
Speaker 2: the antithesis of what the Reds have traditionally done with
Speaker 2: a young player.
Speaker 1: And you know how fran ConA felt about that. I
Speaker 1: mean you have to know, you know, we kind of.
Speaker 8: Watched for everything, and he didn't get too excited. I
Speaker 8: think he I think he enjoyed the competition. There's a
Speaker 8: lot to like the scout. What's what's just? I know
Speaker 8: he's here tonight, Eddie, Eddie Layer. Yes, I can go
Speaker 8: kiss him right on the lips. I mean a kid,
Speaker 8: you know he got. I think he was probably for
Speaker 8: him a little over amped because you could tell he
Speaker 8: was starting to run out of gas.
Speaker 1: A little bit. Yeah, yeah, he was.
Speaker 2: He was talking about Burns, not then maybe the maybe
Speaker 2: the scout ran out of gas too. But here's Chase
Speaker 2: Burns right. A couple of years ago, he's pitched it.
Speaker 2: Last year he's pitching in the College World Series, and
Speaker 2: now here he is on a major league mound facing
Speaker 2: the Yankees and arguably the best all round player. I mean,
Speaker 2: shohe Atani is right there too in baseball and Aaron Judge,
Speaker 2: Hey strikes him out first hitting. So when he was
Speaker 2: asked what his favorite strikeout was of the aid he
Speaker 2: accumulated last night, here's Burns.
Speaker 6: I don't even know. I don't even can't remember a
Speaker 6: lot of them. I guess you gotta say, Judge, you
Speaker 6: know that's you know, I've watched him, so he's a
Speaker 6: big dude.
Speaker 1: So I think more of the best hitters in the game.
Speaker 6: So that's probably my favorite one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it should be. It absolutely should be.
Speaker 2: And you know, this is not a condemnation of any
Speaker 2: manager that's been here over the last ten years, fifteen years.
Speaker 2: They've been good. A lot of them have been hamstrung.
Speaker 2: David Bell was hamstrung with the roster that he had
Speaker 2: to work with for much of his time here. Brian
Speaker 2: Price as well. I mean, he was the guy that
Speaker 2: followed up Dusty Baker. And you know, Baker basically wasn't
Speaker 2: here or stop. His tenure ended here because the Reds
Speaker 2: knew they were gonna dump salary and it wouldn't work
Speaker 2: with Dusty. But here's Frank Cone. You know, This is
Speaker 2: a guy I think all along in his career says, Okay,
Speaker 2: I gotta deal with this. How do I make it work?
Speaker 2: What what you know? What do I he makes it work.
Speaker 2: You can see the wheels turning in the dugout. You
Speaker 2: can just see it in the dugout. Guy always seems
Speaker 2: to be a step ahead, a step ahead. He gets
Speaker 2: to the seventh inning, his team's down three zip. Uh,
Speaker 2: there's an out and a walk and he Reese Hines
Speaker 2: reaches on an infield single. You got bases loaded, and
Speaker 2: you got a decision to make. You got Christian N. Carnassi,
Speaker 2: O Strand coming up, got a right hand pitcher on
Speaker 2: the mound Luisa for the Yeahkees, And conventional wisdom would
Speaker 2: tell you, well, I got left handed hitters on my bench.
Speaker 2: But over and above that, and Carnassi oons Strand at
Speaker 2: certain times this year has just seemed to be bigger
Speaker 2: than the moment, and he was last night. Doubles, three runs,
Speaker 2: score all the sense of three to three game. What
Speaker 2: looked like would be a coast for the Yankees. At
Speaker 2: three to zero going into the bottom of the seventh,
Speaker 2: uh Francona thinks ahead and says, you know, what. I
Speaker 2: trust this guy. I know what this guy can do
Speaker 2: against this picture. I know what this picture can do,
Speaker 2: but I kind of trust this guy.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to take away one of their best pitches,
Speaker 8: the best you can, and you started loading up on
Speaker 8: lefties and they had their changeups, their best pitch, and
Speaker 8: they got reverse splits for a reason. So just you know,
Speaker 8: I mean, it's no guarantees or anything, but it was
Speaker 8: nice to see those guys come through.
Speaker 2: It was and it goes to extra. They give up
Speaker 2: a run in the eleventh, but they come right back.
Speaker 2: Steers singles, He gets McLean Holme, who was the ghost
Speaker 2: runner on second, Dyala Cruz who had reached down an
Speaker 2: infield single. He gets to second, then there's a wild pitch,
Speaker 2: then Stevenson walks, and then Gavin Lucks, one of the
Speaker 2: guys he could have gone to Francona in that seventh inning.
Speaker 2: Gavin Lucks jumps up hits for Hines, game winning hit,
Speaker 2: Red's win five to four.
Speaker 1: Lucks after the.
Speaker 9: Game, I mean, yeah, that's the best feeling in the world,
Speaker 9: you know, getting a job done for your boys, especially
Speaker 9: coming off the bench where they played their ass off.
Speaker 9: You know, all ten innings right there. But yeah, I
Speaker 9: mean that's a great team over there, so to take
Speaker 9: two there, and we've been playing really good team baseball,
Speaker 9: so we're just trying to keep it going.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing excellent team baseball right now, playing a
Speaker 2: little bit above themselves.
Speaker 1: Well maybe so, I don't know. I do know this.
Speaker 2: Playing good in or playing well in June. What you
Speaker 2: want to play are meaningful games in September. What you
Speaker 2: want to be is in a race as July begins.
Speaker 2: What you want to be is in the postseason. They're
Speaker 2: playing like a team that's kind of figured it out
Speaker 2: amongst them. We'll see if some of these talent deficiencies
Speaker 2: catches up with them. And there are no question right
Speaker 2: now tonight Brady Singer, that's good.
Speaker 1: He pitched for the Royals.
Speaker 2: He knows what the Yankees are all about, and what
Speaker 2: they're all about tonight is a great pitcher. Nine win
Speaker 2: pitchers so far this season in Max Freed. That's the matchup.
Speaker 2: That's the game you'll hear right here on seven hundred WT.
Speaker 2: Well w when we come back, if iron falls, what next?
Speaker 2: Then down the road? The big beautiful Bill, is it
Speaker 2: really going to be passed? By the Senate in a
Speaker 2: version later this week. And if so, when it's right
Speaker 2: and siled, what exactly do you and I get out
Speaker 2: of it, particularly from a medical standpoint. We'll get into
Speaker 2: all of that and much much more on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, seven hundred WLW. It's the average
Speaker 2: American in for the great American on this cooker of
Speaker 2: a Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Relief is in sight? Is it not?
Speaker 2: Christmas is comings? I remember when I worked in Washington, DC. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and Mary are out there is His name was Marion Barry,
Speaker 2: mayor of some repute. And Washington, d C, the nation's capital,
Speaker 2: had a lot of things that were wonderful. They had
Speaker 2: a lot of things that weren't wonderful. Like when I
Speaker 2: lived there, they didn't have recycling. It was like the
Speaker 2: the emphicenter of government. They didn't have recycling in the city.
Speaker 2: This is back in the late nineties. But they also
Speaker 2: had a major snowstorm ones and for what well probably
Speaker 2: for lack of funding, but they couldn't get the snow
Speaker 2: off the streets. And uh, I remember the it was
Speaker 2: I think it was the station I was working at.
Speaker 2: They ran out and they interviewed Marion Barry, and they said,
Speaker 2: mister mayor, what are we going to do here? You know,
Speaker 2: I mean we had all this snow on the street.
Speaker 2: You can't get the snow on the street. I mean,
Speaker 2: what are your answers here? You looked at the camera.
Speaker 2: He said, spring is coming.
Speaker 1: So if you're too danged hot right now and you don't.
Speaker 2: Have acy, just remember Christmas is coming and we'll all
Speaker 2: be complained about how cold it is. Anyhow, on this Wednesday,
Speaker 2: welcome back. Great to have you with us. John Thune,
Speaker 2: the majority leader in the Senate, claims that the big
Speaker 2: Beautiful Bill will be passed by the July fourth recess
Speaker 2: that would be this Friday, unless they keep these these
Speaker 2: clowns in Washington and make them actually work a little bit,
Speaker 2: you know, delay that, delay that trip to the lake
Speaker 2: a couple of days. But the fact of the matter
Speaker 2: is he thinks it's going their version of it is
Speaker 2: going to get passed before they break for their July
Speaker 2: fourth recess. And then, of course it has to have
Speaker 2: reconciliation with the House. And there are a lot of GOP,
Speaker 2: a lot of Republican moderates that are going to be
Speaker 2: yelling and screaming about any changes to the Medicaid and
Speaker 2: Medicare portions of that bill as well.
Speaker 1: They should.
Speaker 2: I just don't think you can just slice things out
Speaker 2: of a budget that people who become used to Medicare
Speaker 2: is tied to social security, and social Security is out
Speaker 2: of control. We don't have the funding for it. It's
Speaker 2: eventually on the current course, going to go bankrupt. Medicaid affects,
Speaker 2: in a large sense, a lot of rural areas in
Speaker 2: this country. So I think one of the things that
Speaker 2: I think the House wants to do is get any
Speaker 2: Medicaid that's being paid to people who are in this
Speaker 2: country illegally off the books. But allegedly this is all
Speaker 2: going to be rectified and the one big, beautiful bill
Speaker 2: is going to be passed. Meanwhile, if border security is financed,
Speaker 2: if indeed they can get the rest of Trump's wall built, indeed,
Speaker 2: they can make what happened over the last four years stop.
Speaker 2: That's great, That's what we spent the majority of the
Speaker 2: last hour talking about. But there's an even greater problem
Speaker 2: in this country, and that's who's in it. It's not
Speaker 2: just Iranians who are may or may not be part
Speaker 2: of sleeper cells. There's a lot of other people that
Speaker 2: are in this country. We mentioned the Chinese. Chinese military
Speaker 2: age men in this country is a huge problem, China
Speaker 2: buying up land in this country is a huge problem.
Speaker 2: And people in this country from other countries that are
Speaker 2: here illegally and again wanting.
Speaker 1: To do god knows what.
Speaker 2: So I thought it'd be a good day and a
Speaker 2: good time to welcome in somebody that I've had on
Speaker 2: the show several times before. His name is doctor Assef.
Speaker 2: Let me reset the mouth there, doctor Assef Rimerowski, who
Speaker 2: is a student and now a doctor of Mid Eastern studies.
Speaker 2: He is someone who has written books about it, someone
Speaker 2: who is not just well versed about it, but his
Speaker 2: opinions matter to the right people in this country, and
Speaker 2: I wanted to get him on. He's based out of
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia area. About just the general makeup of this
Speaker 2: country right now, the unrest that's in this country right now,
Speaker 2: some of it agitated by people who are not from
Speaker 2: this country, but others who have been influenced by those people,
Speaker 2: and just where we are right now with things like
Speaker 2: sleeper sells. But over and above that, what happens to
Speaker 2: Iran when comane falls and he will fall. What happens then,
Speaker 2: because if Iraq is the blueprint, we're in trouble. We
Speaker 2: don't nation build very well. The President says he doesn't
Speaker 2: want to, but we don't do it well anyway. And
Speaker 2: if that regime falls from pressure from within, who takes over?
Speaker 2: Do the Turks make a move? Russians make a move,
Speaker 2: Siria go in there. So I wanted to get him
Speaker 2: on the show today just to talk about all of this,
Speaker 2: and he's kind of enough to stand by and give
Speaker 2: us some of his time here on seven hundred at
Speaker 2: W WELW. I'm right, am I not a doctor that
Speaker 2: you know this is just not an Iran problem that
Speaker 2: we should be concerned about.
Speaker 10: Well, I think it's a bigger problem, and I don't
Speaker 10: disagree with you at all. And I think that we've
Speaker 10: seen a lot of these issues play out.
Speaker 4: Since the course of the war.
Speaker 10: You know, I would say even more so as a
Speaker 10: result of the encampments on American college campuses, when you're
Speaker 10: seeing the significant amount of foreign influence and foreign students
Speaker 10: on American college campus on the one hand, Secondly, also
Speaker 10: in candem, if you look and track the latest that.
Speaker 4: Took place in Boulder, uh and in Washington.
Speaker 10: As far as immigration status, the individual uh you know
Speaker 10: who was responsible professor in the attack in Boulder was
Speaker 10: an Egyptian who outstate, who overstate his visa. I mean,
Speaker 10: there there are problems upon problems within our immigration policies
Speaker 10: on the one hand, and on you know, and to
Speaker 10: your earlier point, the you know, groups and Islamist organizations
Speaker 10: and individuals who are looking to do harm for the
Speaker 10: United States are taking advantage from this laxitude, you know,
Speaker 10: very lax way of doing business when it comes to
Speaker 10: background checks and our and our immigration policies, and that
Speaker 10: is allowing them to ferment their ideology and in many
Speaker 10: of them, whereas I think it's very nefarious able to
Speaker 10: try to take over democratic American institutions and turn them
Speaker 10: on their head, you know. Even more to the point
Speaker 10: you look at the current mayorial race that's happening in
Speaker 10: New York City and the contributors an example gave to
Speaker 10: Mamdani's campaign, groups like the care the Council on American
Speaker 10: Islamic Relations who have ties to terrorism and things of
Speaker 10: those sorts. I mean, so you're seeing also a direct
Speaker 10: correlation into the American political system.
Speaker 2: Yes, you are a federal Yes, absolutely. Now I want
Speaker 2: to talk about something else that is maybe a little
Speaker 2: bit on the other side of this argument, but certainly
Speaker 2: relevant to what we've just talked about, and that is
Speaker 2: what happens when this current regime falls, and it will fall.
Speaker 2: It's teetering. The only thing they have there is gas
Speaker 2: and weapons. They got nothing else going on in Iran,
Speaker 2: and you have religious zelots in charge of that country
Speaker 2: and have been for the last forty five forty six years.
Speaker 2: Anytime you have a zealot in charge of a country
Speaker 2: is bad. When it's a religious zealot worse because these
Speaker 2: people think God talked directly to them. So I'm wondering
Speaker 2: when this falls, and it will fall, how confident are
Speaker 2: you that there are people and groups in Iran which
Speaker 2: hasn't you know, They've got many different factions in Iran
Speaker 2: right now, but I guess the largest of which is
Speaker 2: the National Council of Resistance of Iran that has been
Speaker 2: operating in the shadows for the last forty six years.
Speaker 2: How confident are you that when and f and I
Speaker 2: think it's more when this regime falls, that there won't
Speaker 2: be absolute chaos inside that country that could lead to
Speaker 2: a nefarious player such as Turkey or Russia or maybe
Speaker 2: Syria moving in and trying to take over that country.
Speaker 4: Well, we don't know.
Speaker 10: We don't know yet, I mean, and things are happening
Speaker 10: and are very fluid as things move along.
Speaker 4: It is worthy of notes.
Speaker 10: And to your point that historically speaking up until you know,
Speaker 10: forty six years ago, I mean before the rise of
Speaker 10: the Shop, before they are removal of the shop, and
Speaker 10: and the and the rise of from of the of
Speaker 10: the of the Iranian revolution. You know, Iran has Western sentiment.
Speaker 10: They had ties with Israel, the United States, if you
Speaker 10: go back to the Green Revolution. There are Western elements
Speaker 10: that are looking for for the preserve the preservation of
Speaker 10: freedoms and rights and things like that that we all
Speaker 10: care about.
Speaker 4: UH.
Speaker 10: And this tyrannical UH ideology, you know, the poetry that
Speaker 10: has been that has been abusing the Iranian people has
Speaker 10: really is coming to a head now at this point
Speaker 10: as a result of all that UH you are seeing now,
Speaker 10: which I think it is very worthy of note that
Speaker 10: the last fun of the shop, Uh Plavi, who is Indian,
Speaker 10: who's here in the United States, is the one who's
Speaker 10: reaching out on social media to the Iranian people as
Speaker 10: far as you know, reform and change and whatnot. You know,
Speaker 10: the hope is that with the removal of this tyrannical
Speaker 10: regime that will all allow for room to change. It's also,
Speaker 10: I think very anecdotally telling that every time the attacks
Speaker 10: have come in from Israel in the United States, but
Speaker 10: in particular from Israel, you saw on social media out
Speaker 10: of the apartment buildings people are calling death Dehamenei, uh,
Speaker 10: you know, which I think is very telling.
Speaker 4: About how they've been used and abused by this own regime. Uh.
Speaker 10: But again we're not there yet, uh, you know, and
Speaker 10: this is not you know, Iran is not a rock.
Speaker 10: It's not Afghanistan. It's Iran.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 10: There's a long change that that that that needs to
Speaker 10: take place here. And you're right, I mean we should.
Speaker 10: We should be concerned about uh, other outside forces like Turks,
Speaker 10: like the Russians, like the Chinese trying to get involved
Speaker 10: with Iran. But I don't think that Iran is going
Speaker 10: uh is going down quietly into the night. That's not there.
Speaker 10: It's not in their DNA.
Speaker 7: UH.
Speaker 4: And we're not at that point yet. I think that
Speaker 4: what we did here.
Speaker 10: What we saw here is the culmination of US Israel
Speaker 10: shared intelligence operationally and no delitarily coming together to remove
Speaker 10: a significant threat of the entire region during our world
Speaker 10: at large. When it comes to the Iranian nuclear program.
Speaker 2: You said Iran will not go quietly into the night,
Speaker 2: and I believe that. I mean, we have a ceasefire
Speaker 2: right now, tenuous though it may be, there is a
Speaker 2: ceasefire between Israel and Iran. At this point, Iran has
Speaker 2: been from all accounts, beaten into submission, first by Israel
Speaker 2: and then what the United States did over the past weekend.
Speaker 2: Nobody should trust Iran. There is no reason, there is
Speaker 2: no evidence that has been delivered to us over the
Speaker 2: last forty five years that Iran should be trusted. But
Speaker 2: we have to trust them right now that at some
Speaker 2: point they come to their senses. Now, I don't think
Speaker 2: that's naive. I just think it's giving peace a chance.
Speaker 2: But we also have to believe that if peace happens,
Speaker 2: it will run against the grain of what's been going
Speaker 2: on in Iran for over these many years.
Speaker 10: Right look, coming, I will continue. I mean, you know,
Speaker 10: Iran is a very large country. They have ballistic capabilities,
Speaker 10: which they obviously were seeing them use.
Speaker 4: UH. There has been concerned about even prior.
Speaker 10: To the attacks, whether or not they'd be able to
Speaker 10: smuggle out any kind of weaponry along the way. Their
Speaker 10: you know, odds are are lower, but again still a possibility.
Speaker 10: There is a question here, and I think that this
Speaker 10: is really the regional question, and that is are they
Speaker 10: able to activate what they've been trying to do their
Speaker 10: proxies uh At Israel not devastated Hazbalam in the Pager operation,
Speaker 10: you would have seen ballistic missiles coming in from the
Speaker 10: north of Israel, from from from.
Speaker 4: Lebanon, right. You know, when the Iranian.
Speaker 10: Attack began to join their fellow travelers, you are seeing
Speaker 10: the Hutis who.
Speaker 4: Are indeed joining them.
Speaker 10: The larger question, to my mind is whether or not
Speaker 10: how they're Russian, the Chinese and the Turks, who are
Speaker 10: indeed allies of Iran, are they going.
Speaker 4: To get involved with all of this?
Speaker 10: But as I said, it's not in iron Dna UH
Speaker 10: to this basically tried to go quietly, and you're even
Speaker 10: seeing them try to use Now if you followed yesterday's
Speaker 10: a Rachi's press conference, you know they're trying to use
Speaker 10: the international community, International Court of Justice that there you know,
Speaker 10: it's an act of war. You know, we we were
Speaker 10: you know, we were only developing medical uh you know,
Speaker 10: development when it comes to nuclear capabilities, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 10: And so there is this blame game trying to you know,
Speaker 10: try to get the international community this stand behind him,
Speaker 10: playing victim, the victim card. But you know, I think
Speaker 10: that you know the and the other part and if
Speaker 10: you and I think we need to believe Donald Trump
Speaker 10: at this point, uh, and we should because he's been
Speaker 10: right that he was very clear about it that you know,
Speaker 10: if this continues, this was not a one and done,
Speaker 10: there will be you know, he will indeed execute more
Speaker 10: uh operations. Uh when it comes to if Iran continues
Speaker 10: at all this And I think that that's also important
Speaker 10: for them to know and for our adversaries to see
Speaker 10: that we mean what we say and when red lines
Speaker 10: are crossed, there will be consequences.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you highlighted just something that I think
Speaker 2: is a concern at this point. By the way, we
Speaker 2: are talking with the esteem doctor Aeso. Romerowski, who is
Speaker 2: a MIDI scholar, executive director of the Association for studies
Speaker 2: in the Middle East and Africa. You raised on something
Speaker 2: I think that's key right now. There is a large
Speaker 2: amount of uranium that has gone missing in Iran, enriched
Speaker 2: or otherwise, and that would be of great value to
Speaker 2: some of those players in that area around Iran, could
Speaker 2: be used as a bargaining chip by Iran for places
Speaker 2: like Turkey, for places like Russia or even China. And
Speaker 2: I think the next key for this country, among which
Speaker 2: should be completely disarming and at least trying to bring
Speaker 2: the Homini regime in, if not completely let it topple
Speaker 2: from the inside, is to find that uranium, because that's
Speaker 2: that's something that could be a problem down the road.
Speaker 2: And you know, the uranium was there not to make
Speaker 2: them a nuclear society and bring great medicine studies and
Speaker 2: things like that. No, the greatest resource they have is oil.
Speaker 2: That's what they are. They're an oil nation, and you
Speaker 2: don't need to build a bunker three hundred feet below
Speaker 2: the ground just to become a nuclear society. So they
Speaker 2: got to find that uranium, don't they.
Speaker 10: Uh Yeah, I mean, And I think look, I think
Speaker 10: we are now post the attack, we are in what
Speaker 10: is considered to be the BDA phase, the battle damage assessments,
Speaker 10: and I think that the assessments are still going on,
Speaker 10: as far as stot of light footage, as far as
Speaker 10: looking to see exactly what we've done, you know, in
Speaker 10: the three sites that we're attack when it comes to
Speaker 10: if Shahan Pordo, you know, and and so all of
Speaker 10: that and the pause and so the you know, this
Speaker 10: is all taking place here, and the concern is, to
Speaker 10: your point, whether or not there is residue of nuclear
Speaker 10: material that is being transported or relocated around the country,
Speaker 10: and those are concerns, you know. Thankfully, the Israelis actually
Speaker 10: have boots on the grounds. I mean, they had intelligence
Speaker 10: on the ground, they had a masade operation, they had
Speaker 10: an entire drone space inside of Iran, allowing lawaws take place.
Speaker 10: And let's let's not be naive about this. This is
Speaker 10: not like take place from one day to the next.
Speaker 10: The Israelis have been planning this for years and so
Speaker 10: you know, I think that based on what we've seen
Speaker 10: over the past few days now and in general, I
Speaker 10: think that there's been a great deal of shared collaboration
Speaker 10: between Israel and sencom H and all the proper agencies here.
Speaker 4: And I think that.
Speaker 10: Uh, these are the things to look out for, uh
Speaker 10: as we look at all the fluidity and the changes
Speaker 10: in the region and to crack down on all of this.
Speaker 4: But undred percent I think it is a concern.
Speaker 2: Well, it certainly gives you a lot to talk about
Speaker 2: and us to worry about, there's no question about that.
Speaker 2: But it's always great having you on, doctor, doctor acev Ramowski.
Speaker 2: How do people find you?
Speaker 4: Doctor?
Speaker 2: You sound like a man of great knowledge and wisdom
Speaker 2: when it comes to things like this. And if somebody
Speaker 2: wants to contact you or find out more about you,
Speaker 2: how do they do that?
Speaker 4: You're kind. Our website is spme dot org.
Speaker 10: H and all the information and all our work on
Speaker 10: the website and it's the best way to you know,
Speaker 10: find out all the information you need.
Speaker 2: Until our next time. Thank you for your time here today.
Speaker 2: Thank you doctor.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, find that uranium too, It's got to find that uranium.
Speaker 2: Get a hold of that stuff. My fear is is
Speaker 2: that it's somewhere where it is undetectable, protected by people
Speaker 2: we don't get along with, and they may not be
Speaker 2: the Iranians. Think about that one for a second while
Speaker 2: we step away. It is up one twenty seven already
Speaker 2: news radio seven hundred w l W.

Speaker 11: Following a ten day break, FC Cincinnati back in action
Speaker 11: tonight Pat Noonan up against the CF Montreal the North
Speaker 11: of the Border seven o'clock with the Boys on ESPN
Speaker 11: fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2: You think Pat Noonon gets excited about anything every time
Speaker 2: he talks, whether they want or they lose. He sounds
Speaker 2: the same now of Pat Noonan's air conditioning went out
Speaker 2: today on all days. Yeah, that he would be that
Speaker 2: calm talking to the AC guy. You don't think he'd
Speaker 2: be yelling and screaming. Guy never yells in screams.
Speaker 11: I think he yelled. He yells and screams of his
Speaker 11: team every so often.
Speaker 1: Well, they need it, to be honest with you, you know.
Speaker 11: But I know I I think he's like mister cool. Yeah,
Speaker 11: he's every time he and he you know, he answers
Speaker 11: every question. Great, you know, so they got a good
Speaker 11: one right there. He's kind of like the Bill Belichick
Speaker 11: of soccer. He doesn't have like a a lot of
Speaker 11: Cincinnati okay, a lot college basketball can brew. According to ESPN,
Speaker 11: they know everything. Decision on whether or not to expand
Speaker 11: the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments are going to
Speaker 11: be made in the upcoming weeks.
Speaker 1: He's wondering which way they're gonna go, well.
Speaker 2: What don't they just think if the state of Ohio
Speaker 2: do you like the Ohio High School, Let everybody in there.
Speaker 11: If you're gonna expand it, let everybody. That's what Indiana does,
Speaker 11: right with football.
Speaker 1: So what Ohio does with basketball?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 1: I think so?
Speaker 11: And then the expansion would be this year, this year,
Speaker 11: and but it would expand no more than seventy six teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's what.
Speaker 11: Twelve more than what they have and that's sixty sixty four.
Speaker 11: Now you know why, because TV wants it. They want
Speaker 11: the money. They got the money. You don't think they're like,
Speaker 11: I say, no, we don't want to expand. No, they're
Speaker 11: going for the green salad of salvation. That's what they're
Speaker 11: going on. I'm just telling you it's sag. The answer
Speaker 11: to all of your questions in life is yes.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: What is the answer to all of your questions in life?
Speaker 2: If it makes the dough, bring it on, If it
Speaker 2: makes the dough, give some rate to me. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's a wise man once, thank you, And they got it.
Speaker 11: And they got to do that because they got to
Speaker 11: pay these players nil money. Now bingo, So I mean,
Speaker 11: you know let everybody in from eight tozight a to
Speaker 11: z It's.
Speaker 2: Like Oprah, you'll get a car, and you'll get a
Speaker 2: car and you'll get a car.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There you go, sliced one with those big old
Speaker 1: she used to wear. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: You know I'm a former radio DJ that became a singer.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 1: There you go again. Your musical genius too.
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, it was the first rock and
Speaker 2: roll integrated rock and roll band.
Speaker 1: Number three. There you going know it all? I know it.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable and yep, Cynthia got a horn to blow. Dance
Speaker 2: to the music. Great line from that, I think it
Speaker 2: was his sister, Cynthia. Cynthia got a horn to blow,
Speaker 2: and she did, and she did let it that little
Speaker 2: brass section going on seg we've gone off on a tangent,
Speaker 2: and I feel badly about that. If you'll just get
Speaker 2: us out of this, we'll come back and talk about
Speaker 2: more pertinent things here in just a little.
Speaker 11: Bit ken brew and utter of another hot day in
Speaker 11: the tri States, Stay hydrated and cool it. Today we
Speaker 11: leave you with the immortal words of the Stewo Report.
Speaker 4: CNN is scum and so is MSDNC.
Speaker 5: They're all and frankly the networks aren't much better.
Speaker 1: He was on a roll. Man, Wow, he was on
Speaker 1: a roll, you know kidding? Did you see him drop
Speaker 1: the F bomb? That was amen? I was unbelieved. I
Speaker 1: love I loved it.
Speaker 12: They have two countries that have been fighting so long
Speaker 12: and so hard that they don't know what the they're doing.
Speaker 1: Do you understand that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I did, Now you do. And then the reporters are
Speaker 1: there going ev Yeah.
Speaker 11: He just walks off with his us A hatan on
Speaker 11: the Marine one and now over in the Netherlands.
Speaker 2: And I'm getting on a chopper. You people can go
Speaker 2: home in your accords, all the Atlanta accords.
Speaker 11: He's getting on storm, gonna go across the pond a
Speaker 11: little bit.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, you do look good today. Thank you. On
Speaker 1: seven hundred w l W all right to eight.
Speaker 2: The average American in for the great American on this Wednesday,
Speaker 2: and all because of you or without you, I would
Speaker 2: be simply one man sitting in a room babbling to himself.
Speaker 2: And why would I have to leave home to do that?
Speaker 2: John Thune is the Senate Majority leader. He is the
Speaker 2: guy that replaced Mitch McConnell, and he is promising that
Speaker 2: the Senate will sign off on the big beautiful bill
Speaker 2: before they break for their July fourth recess. That would
Speaker 2: most probably be this Friday, could be Saturday, regardless. The
Speaker 2: Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has said that whenever
Speaker 2: they sign off, then the House will be ready for
Speaker 2: reconciliation and maybe get this thing as law as early
Speaker 2: as next week. We'll see. There appears to be a
Speaker 2: big hurdle, and it involves healthcare because more than a
Speaker 2: dozen House Republicans have worn they will not support the
Speaker 2: Senate's version of the tax and spending bill because proposed
Speaker 2: Medicaid cuts are too steep. Most of these Republicans are
Speaker 2: in vulnerable districts, and of course everything is on a
Speaker 2: two year cycle in the House. Everybody that gets elected
Speaker 2: in one November begins campaigning for the next November the
Speaker 2: next day after getting elected. But anyway, the Senate Finance
Speaker 2: Committee wants to clamp down on two things that states
Speaker 2: used to boost Medicare funding to hospitals, state directed payments
Speaker 2: and Medicaid provided taxes. The restrictions are a major concern
Speaker 2: for rural hospitals. And then there's all kind of rhetoric
Speaker 2: that is emanating from various parts. Mitch McConnell says, apparently
Speaker 2: in a closed door meeting yesterday that yeah, you know what,
Speaker 2: the people back.
Speaker 1: Home, they'll get over it.
Speaker 2: And then you've got a group of Democrats using something
Speaker 2: that was released by researchers at Yale University and the
Speaker 2: University of Pennsylvania that says, even if it's just the
Speaker 2: House version of the medical portion of this big beautiful bill,
Speaker 2: even if it's that without any kind of change for
Speaker 2: the worst inside the Senate, in their opinion, fifty one
Speaker 2: thousand people will die annually. So there's a lot of
Speaker 2: nonsense that's being knocked around with all of this. Let's
Speaker 2: get to the truth and some sanity. And when it
Speaker 2: comes to truth and sanity and healthcare, I turned to
Speaker 2: one person. He is the author of the book The
Speaker 2: sixty Percent Solution, Rethinking Healthcare, and he's our good buddy,
Speaker 2: Todd Furnas And Todd, how are you on this glorious Wednesday?
Speaker 5: I am doing dandy Ken, How the heck are you?
Speaker 2: I'm hotter than a matchstick. I don't know where you are,
Speaker 2: but where I am. Literally the old fry the egg
Speaker 2: on the sidewalk I think would work.
Speaker 1: But be that as it may.
Speaker 2: This rhetoric surrounding what's in the quote unquote big beautiful
Speaker 2: bill and what the Senate wants to do with it
Speaker 2: with regards to Medicaid, let's just talk about medicaid. Where
Speaker 2: is the truth in what appears to be a lot
Speaker 2: of fiction.
Speaker 5: So the first thing we start with is what are
Speaker 5: the numbers that are being referred to? And let's imagine
Speaker 5: that hypothetically it's something like seven hundred billion dollars. Well,
Speaker 5: that's measured over a period of ten years, so we're
Speaker 5: really talking about seventy billion dollars. Now, let's remember what
Speaker 5: the budget is for CMS for a Yeah, a CMS
Speaker 5: I think was a trillion dollars. Okay, so we're talking
Speaker 5: about seven percent right annually. Now that's before you get
Speaker 5: tenny real hard work on cost cutting. But let's just
Speaker 5: assume that the number is great. What you really find
Speaker 5: is this challenge between the states that expanded medicaid and
Speaker 5: allowed the medicaid to be given to.
Speaker 4: People who are not.
Speaker 5: Here legally, people who aren't who are able bodied but
Speaker 5: are not working, and a few other categories.
Speaker 1: So what the current bill says is.
Speaker 5: Now we're going to go back to doing the way
Speaker 5: we used to do it when there was a work requirement,
Speaker 5: and we're going to require a few other things. Now,
Speaker 5: what you would also find is this typically ends up
Speaker 5: being a blue state versus a red state issue, because
Speaker 5: more often than not, those states who expanded healthcare, I've
Speaker 5: been for Medicaid.
Speaker 1: Or blue states.
Speaker 2: So as I read this, the Senate Finance Committee includes,
Speaker 2: and I think this is what you're talking about, significant
Speaker 2: cuts to taxes that states can levy on medical providers.
Speaker 2: And the way the system works is states impose these
Speaker 2: taxes on providers to boost their federal Medicaid contribution, which
Speaker 2: then direct them back to hospitals in the form of
Speaker 2: higher reimbursements. And you know, it seems like a shell
Speaker 2: game with money that's going on here?
Speaker 1: Is it one giant show game.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 5: Now there's another trick here, which is you're correct in
Speaker 5: identifying that there's a matching going on. So what happens
Speaker 5: is the state put up a portion of the money
Speaker 5: and the Feds put up the other portion of the money,
Speaker 5: and that's how it Medicaid is funded.
Speaker 1: Now, obviously the states.
Speaker 5: Are doing things to try and make sure that number
Speaker 5: looks bigger so that the Fed's obligation is greater. And
Speaker 5: this is the very endemic, our pandemic problem we have
Speaker 5: in the business model of healthcare is everything is a
Speaker 5: cost plus model, and so everybody wants to inflate the
Speaker 5: numbers for all the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, What do you make of this research out
Speaker 2: of Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. Let's again
Speaker 2: just point out these are Ivy League schools. But anyway,
Speaker 2: the public health and policy researchers at these two universities
Speaker 2: warren that if it's just only the house build and
Speaker 2: nothing that is added on or subtracted from the Senate build,
Speaker 2: if it's just that more than fifty one thousand people
Speaker 2: would die annually. That's from loss of coverage, disenrollment in
Speaker 2: Medicare benefits, elimination of Medicaid services for things like nursing homes,
Speaker 2: nursing cutbacks, and things like that. What do you make
Speaker 2: of that? That sounds like And of course some Senate
Speaker 2: Democrats just leaped on that like a fresh piece of meat.
Speaker 2: Just that seems a bit draconian. I mean, if indeed,
Speaker 2: if it's just what the House is passed. Is it
Speaker 2: really going to be that kind of thing or are
Speaker 2: we just here with political gamesmanship?
Speaker 5: Well, I of course would think it falls in the
Speaker 5: latter category. But it's all around the assumptions you're making
Speaker 5: to build the model, and I would take issue with
Speaker 5: their assumptions.
Speaker 2: And their assumptions are probably based on research that I mean,
Speaker 2: if you want an outcome, you tend if you're one
Speaker 2: of these advocacy places like these universities, if you want
Speaker 2: an outcome, you research to that outcome. You don't necessarily
Speaker 2: research to the best outcome. Okay, so you got I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily buy the outcome the output of that study.
Speaker 5: I just it's strange credulity, right.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the Senate wants more cuts than what the
Speaker 2: House has, and the House has some Republicans that are saying, well, look,
Speaker 2: if it's what we're hearing out of the Senate Finance Committee,
Speaker 2: then we're going to have trouble with it. The devil
Speaker 2: is in the politics, obviously, but I don't think there's
Speaker 2: any question that there's some sort of reconciliation that gets them.
Speaker 1: Home on this thing.
Speaker 2: I just don't, yeah, because there's too many other things
Speaker 2: tied to this bill that nobody wants their name tied to.
Speaker 2: And that is, if Trump's tax cuts aren't made permanent,
Speaker 2: then everybody gets a giant tax bill starting in January,
Speaker 2: and it costs you roughly twenty two percent more to
Speaker 2: live than what it does right now, and Democrat Republican,
Speaker 2: nobody wants that attached next to their name. I think
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things to get you home, but
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing that gets everybody home.
Speaker 5: I think you're absolutely right on that point. And I
Speaker 5: think the other thing that's troubling to me is that
Speaker 5: if you were in any business whatsoever, and I recognize
Speaker 5: the federal government's not run like a business, but if
Speaker 5: you had any business whatsoever and you were told to
Speaker 5: cut expense by five or ten percent, you'd figure out
Speaker 5: a way to do it and the company would still
Speaker 5: be around and people wouldn't die.
Speaker 2: But if you're a politician, there are three things you want. God,
Speaker 2: a politician wants your money so the politician can campaign
Speaker 2: and then get your vote.
Speaker 1: That's two.
Speaker 2: And the third thing of the politician wants is nothing
Speaker 2: that's attached to his name. These people don't want to
Speaker 2: vote on anything because they're no, you know, they're going
Speaker 2: to be held accountable to it. So sure, in a
Speaker 2: private enterprise you can do that and still chrug right along.
Speaker 2: But in politics, my gosh, you know what, you're just
Speaker 2: writing a campaign ad for your opponent in the next election.
Speaker 2: And so I think that's why it operates a little
Speaker 2: bit differently than it does in corporate America.
Speaker 1: But be that as it met, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 5: The only thing I would say, I thought three things
Speaker 5: you were telling gonna coming about was fear uncertainty in doubt.
Speaker 2: No, that's only in the mind of the people that
Speaker 2: do the voting. But how much fraud, in your opinion,
Speaker 2: is there in medicaid? You know, you mentioned earlier about
Speaker 2: the illegals that are in this country and getting that
Speaker 2: particular benefit, and that if you eliminate that, you're on
Speaker 2: a road to starting to save money. But fraud in
Speaker 2: any federal program is inherent, it's everywhere in the federal government.
Speaker 2: How bad is it in your opinion with medicaid?
Speaker 5: I think it's very difficult to wantify, in part because
Speaker 5: we're using words that to be perhaps misconstrued let's just
Speaker 5: say that people are getting it that perhaps shouldn't be
Speaker 5: getting it, or people are enrolled where they shouldn't be enrolled.
Speaker 5: So for example, if you're you know, one of the
Speaker 5: examples has becided quite often is when somebody moves from
Speaker 5: one state to another and they enroll in medicaid in
Speaker 5: the second state, they're still in the roles of the
Speaker 5: first date, so that the first state gets money because
Speaker 5: they're in the roles, and the second state gets money
Speaker 5: because the role. Okay, so that's an example. I don't
Speaker 5: know that that's necessarily fraud. Somebody probably didn't think, hey,
Speaker 5: I got to go on and roll in.
Speaker 4: State number one.
Speaker 5: The second example would be the one around people who
Speaker 5: come into the country illegally, and that is a substantial number.
Speaker 5: And what happens there is the burden was shifted first
Speaker 5: of all into the federal government and the state government
Speaker 5: who share the responsibility, and then ultimately down to the
Speaker 5: local level where public hospitals were providing that care, and
Speaker 5: then tapping into their engigent fund revenues where they were
Speaker 5: not getting compensated for those people because of Medicaid or
Speaker 5: Medicare or a commercial church provider, so they were they
Speaker 5: were dipping in the in our case, property tax revenues,
Speaker 5: so the property tax revenues are actually going to the
Speaker 5: county hospital to support the Haney Hospital. So it's just
Speaker 5: a question of who's entitled to get properly entitled to
Speaker 5: get the coverage, and then are only those people getting
Speaker 5: that coverage. So I don't know that the falls under fraud,
Speaker 5: waste for abuse. It's just money that shouldn't be spent,
Speaker 5: and I don't and that that number by itself is material.
Speaker 2: So okay, So McConnell shot his mouth off, I guess
Speaker 2: in a closed door meeting yesterday it leaked out. Gosh,
Speaker 2: imagine that in Washington, d C. They're about a million
Speaker 2: and a half people in Kentucky who are enrolled in Medicaid.
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is a major metropolitan area, but most of Cincinnati
Speaker 2: is individual towns. And then, of course, like most of America,
Speaker 2: around these large cities are rural areas, and the fear is,
Speaker 2: or at least from the rhetoric from Democrats and those
Speaker 2: opposed to any cuts to Medicaid, is that if you
Speaker 2: start cutting Medicaid, you start affecting medical care in these
Speaker 2: rural areas. With these rural hospitals where there aren't a
Speaker 2: lot of doctors or nurses or a lot of hospitals
Speaker 2: to begin with. Is there validity to that argument that
Speaker 2: if they go in and start making these cuts to
Speaker 2: Medicaid that it will adversely affect these rural hospitals and
Speaker 2: healthcare providers.
Speaker 5: I think there's some legitimacy to that concern, and I
Speaker 5: think what it'll likely do is encourage other types of
Speaker 5: service becoming more adopted more rapidly. So, for example of
Speaker 5: things that is taking off everywhere it can is telehealth. Right, So, now,
Speaker 5: if you have a phone, you have access to a
Speaker 5: doctor under certain circumstances. Well, let's imagine that we really
Speaker 5: relieve the license restrictions around that to some extent, and
Speaker 5: now all of a sudden, you're able to deliver medical
Speaker 5: advice over a cell phone. And now you've got a
Speaker 5: different set of providers. So what that really means is
Speaker 5: you're looking at emergency rooms and more critical care level
Speaker 5: one trauma stuff.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Okay, yeah, And you're right, totally right about telehealth.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll go to a doctor and I'll walk
Speaker 2: out of the office and I'm thinking to myself, I
Speaker 2: could I could have easily have done this over the
Speaker 2: phone or zoom or whatever it may be. You know,
Speaker 2: often oftentimes that's what it is. There's nothing traumatic about it.
Speaker 2: So okay, so it sounds like that, you know, the
Speaker 2: devil here in the details. Now that we know what
Speaker 2: it is, it's how much are we going to pay?
Speaker 2: How much we're not going to pay. But at the
Speaker 2: end of this, at the end of this big beautiful
Speaker 2: bill that allegedly both sides seem to think will get
Speaker 2: passed in some way, shape or form, what do you
Speaker 2: think the end result looks like for Medicaid and would
Speaker 2: it have Is there any tangible effect that this will
Speaker 2: have on Medicare at all?
Speaker 5: I don't know the answer on Medicare yet. But again
Speaker 5: I think that that people are going to be less
Speaker 5: likely to tinker with Medicare in the way that they
Speaker 5: are with Medicaid because of the access to Medicaid being
Speaker 5: a little bit more porous.
Speaker 1: More porous in what way.
Speaker 5: Meaning people don't have to try and get a job
Speaker 5: before getting on Medicaid, or they don't have to be
Speaker 5: in school, or they don't have to work for charity
Speaker 5: or getting education of some sort, or they can move
Speaker 5: from one safe to another. These issues are making a
Speaker 5: little bit more easy to access MEDICAIDS resources.
Speaker 1: Right because the House It's just because.
Speaker 2: The House bill says, look, if you're between the ages
Speaker 2: of nineteen and sixty four, you have to go to work,
Speaker 2: but exempts I believe it exempts people with the dependent children.
Speaker 1: The Senate.
Speaker 2: Puts the requirements on parents with children over the age
Speaker 2: of fourteen. There is a work attachment, is what you're
Speaker 2: saying to Medicaid, where with Medicare there is not because
Speaker 2: obviously most of the Medicare recipients are people who are
Speaker 2: retired or very close to retirement. So that's the difference
Speaker 2: between the two in terms of you know where the
Speaker 2: cuts may potentially be.
Speaker 5: Well, they're evening allowing you to volunteer. So if you
Speaker 5: volunteer eighty hours a month, then you can still qualify
Speaker 5: for Medicaid.
Speaker 2: How many hours a month? Eighty eighty hours a month, Well,
Speaker 2: that doesn't seem like a lot of time.
Speaker 5: Well, you're basically halftime a week the twentieth week.
Speaker 2: So that could be reading to the blind, it could
Speaker 2: be school assistant, it could be could be anything that
Speaker 2: benefits the community.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could be the school crossing garden.
Speaker 1: You could be the school crossing guard.
Speaker 2: So when it's all said and done, you think this
Speaker 2: gets done, this will not be a problem because of
Speaker 2: if nothing else, the other things that are in this bill,
Speaker 2: and it'll just percolate forward. And do you think and
Speaker 2: this is I know, crystal ball, but I got to ask, anyway,
Speaker 2: do you think it's for better or for worse?
Speaker 4: I think it'll be for better.
Speaker 5: And the reason I think that is because what only
Speaker 5: a few people are talking about is the fact that
Speaker 5: we stand on the precipice of these very significant entitlements
Speaker 5: going bankrupt, like the Medicare Trust Fund.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yep, absolutely, And that's.
Speaker 5: What nobody really wants to address. That is the giant
Speaker 5: elephant in the room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, nobody wants to touch it because again it
Speaker 2: goes back to my three things a politician wants, and
Speaker 2: they just, you know, I'll kick it down down the road.
Speaker 2: Half of these guys and women that are in Washington,
Speaker 2: d C. Or seventy plus, they figure by the time
Speaker 2: it's a problem, they're dead or they've just you know,
Speaker 2: decided they were going to get the hell out of Washington,
Speaker 2: which you know, maybe some do, some don't, But I
Speaker 2: just don't think anybody wants to deal with that because
Speaker 2: if they do, then that adversely affects their ability to
Speaker 2: get re elected, and therein lies a problem with just
Speaker 2: the way the country is operating at this point.
Speaker 1: Toddy, You're absolutely right.
Speaker 5: I had somebody tell me this very point, make this
Speaker 5: very point. He said, you know, people think that people
Speaker 5: are good or bad based on the issues, but the
Speaker 5: reality is they're otherwise unemployable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what skill set do you have? Well, I was
Speaker 2: a politician. Oh good, I'm actually a lawyer. Well, there's
Speaker 2: certainly not a there's certainly a real darth of those.
Speaker 2: So yeah, come back here and join us. Good stuff, Todd.
Speaker 2: The book is the sixty percent Solution. It's out there
Speaker 2: right now. It's a good read. It is a read
Speaker 2: as to where we should be going. And where we're
Speaker 2: going right now is it looks like back and forth
Speaker 2: between the House and Senate.
Speaker 5: All right, So we're going to be going to the
Speaker 5: Cincinnati Opening together.
Speaker 1: We are. I'm going to meet you at the Cincinnati open.
Speaker 2: That's going to be exciting, and I guarantee you as
Speaker 2: hot as it is now, it's going to be even
Speaker 2: hotter in August. But that's the way we like it.
Speaker 2: That's the way we like it. We'll see you then, Todd,
Speaker 2: and we'll talk, if not sooner. Thank you, cheers, Thanks

Speaker 2: day down. There Now i've got this thing That i'm
Speaker 2: reading here about The bengals in their. Lease, uh if
Speaker 2: The bengals wanted to break the, lease and by the,
Speaker 2: way the lease is up at the end of the,
Speaker 2: month where they have to at least move, on either
Speaker 2: give them two years renewal or. Whatever but according to
Speaker 2: the state, budget if The bengals want to leave and
Speaker 2: go TO i don't, Know Mexico, city first they've got
Speaker 2: to see if there's anybody In Hambleton county that wants
Speaker 2: to buy the. Team so my question is is who
Speaker 2: In Hamilton county would be able to pony up the
Speaker 2: one point eight or nine billion it would cost to
Speaker 2: buy that.
Speaker 13: Team see, Lender John barrett And. WILLIE i mean those
Speaker 13: three together would have that money tomorrow right they got
Speaker 13: there and then their couch cushions ken.

Speaker 1: i couldn't imagine him running The fest.
Speaker 13: Franchise, correct you wouldn't let him run my not whole baseball.
Speaker 2: Team but my point is is that this is smelling

Speaker 13: Bet every DOLLAR i have can That no one's going
Speaker 13: to make a, major like really, tough hard decision that's
Speaker 13: going to disappoint some. People they're going to boot it
Speaker 13: down the way for a couple of, years and then
Speaker 13: we'll probably boot it down another two years after.
Speaker 2: That and then what will they need that's four years,
Speaker 2: down five years down, there they're going to need a
Speaker 2: new stadium then in five, years not just refurbished, gating
