Speaker 1: Five o five. I think about KRC the talk station,
Speaker 1: sue Happy Tuesday, some say.
Speaker 2: Vacation.
Speaker 1: Why is everyone so stupid?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: If only the FCC didn't exist. You could play the
Speaker 4: actual full quote from that one. Happy Tuesday, folks. Brian
Speaker 4: Thomas right here, glad to be looking forward to seven thirty.
Speaker 1: Pardon me? Yeah, start talking the first thing in the morning.
Speaker 1: This is it.
Speaker 4: You hear the first syllables that I utter. And sometimes
Speaker 4: my fox is a little froggy. Anyway, looking forward to
Speaker 4: seventh or the day Gramaswami returns to the fifty five
Speaker 4: Caressey Morning Show, the next governor of the East State
Speaker 4: of Ohio. As Governor de Wine signed the budget into effect,
Speaker 4: we don't know what he vetoed yet though. That's kind
Speaker 4: of weird. I checked just a moment ago to see
Speaker 4: if I could figure out what he specifically vetoed. There
Speaker 4: were articles talking about what he talked about maybe vetoing.
Speaker 4: But he does have the power of the line I'm vito,
Speaker 4: so he can go through there and scratch out a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of things, and apparently he did. Sixty seven
Speaker 4: specific items were vetoed by Governor de Wine before he
Speaker 4: signed the rest of it into law, so the details
Speaker 4: on that momentarily. Anyway, we'll talk with Vivek about his
Speaker 4: record fundraising. He is on a tear. In just four months,
Speaker 4: he's already pulled together eight and a half million dollars.
Speaker 4: I'm excited about him as being governor of the state
Speaker 4: of Ohio. I think he's going to do a fine job.
Speaker 4: And see how optimistic I am that he's going to
Speaker 4: get elected. We'll also talk with Vvak about the Ohio
Speaker 4: budget fly tax money for stadiums which is in there.
Speaker 4: Governor de Wine didn't veto these six hundred million dollars
Speaker 4: going to the Cleveland Browns, which really just frankly end
Speaker 4: this five o'clock hour pisses me off. Medicaid fraud also
Speaker 4: one of the topics of conversations with mister Ramaswami inside
Speaker 4: scoop with Breitbart News. It is Tuesday, eight o five
Speaker 4: is when we do that.
Speaker 1: Today. Bradley J.
Speaker 4: Breitbart's deputy news director, returns former Capitol Hill staffer. He
Speaker 4: is and he will talk about the big beautiful bill,
Speaker 4: which is still being debated in the center right now.
Speaker 4: And I don't know from everything I read, I don't
Speaker 4: think it's far from a lock. Apparently there are six
Speaker 4: senators who are expressing disapproval over it. We all know
Speaker 4: about Ran Paul, he was a definite no because of
Speaker 4: the five trillion dollars debt ceiling increase. But beyond that,
Speaker 4: we have a number of other ones who are emerging
Speaker 4: who are sounding like they're going to be nos. And
Speaker 4: you can't afford to lose any more than the two
Speaker 4: that are already gone. So it just it's still in
Speaker 4: a state of flux, which if they don't get something done,
Speaker 4: our taxes are all going to go out by a
Speaker 4: significant amount. And it's really weird too. You see the
Speaker 4: Congressional Budget Office scoring on it. We're going to increase
Speaker 4: the debt three point three trillion dollars over ten years,
Speaker 4: and then you flip it over and it just depends
Speaker 4: on how you view their scoring, and it's all, I
Speaker 4: would argue, basically boils down to alchemy. There's been a
Speaker 4: lot of chrisms criticism of the CBO, and I've always
Speaker 4: criticized it because it only looks out ten years, as
Speaker 4: if the world ends in ten years, you don't have
Speaker 4: to consider the ramifications further down the road. But some
Speaker 4: are suggesting five hundred billion, not three point three trillion.
Speaker 4: It just depends on what you're using. By way of scoring,
Speaker 4: the CBO looks at things as if Donald Trump's tax
Speaker 4: cuts from twenty seventeen never went into effect, and so
Speaker 4: by keeping them in place, they view that as a
Speaker 4: deficit creating reality when they're in effect right now. So
Speaker 4: you should consider anything but the current situation and the
Speaker 4: current state of the law. Anyway, I'll let the accountants
Speaker 4: at Eggheads argue over that. I just know that we
Speaker 4: spend too much. And that's a comment that's echoed by
Speaker 4: Elon Musk just yesterday, where the US is ruled by
Speaker 4: porky Pig Party, the uniparty. I think there's something legitimate
Speaker 4: what he says. It's obviously with it's obvious with the
Speaker 4: insane spending of this bill, the one the Senate is considering,
Speaker 4: which increases the debt by a record five trillion dollars
Speaker 4: debt ceiling, that we live in a one party country,
Speaker 4: the porky pig Party. This from a post on X
Speaker 4: yesterday afternoon. Time for a new political party that actually
Speaker 4: cares about the people. He has suggested that before, threatened
Speaker 4: that if this insane spending bill passes, the America Party
Speaker 4: will be formed the next day. Our country needs an
Speaker 4: alternative to the Democrat Republican uniparties so that people actually
Speaker 4: have a voice. What do you think the America Party
Speaker 4: would stand for? Fiscal responsibility, limited government, free markets. Just
Speaker 4: like the original tenants of the Tea Party that I embraced,
Speaker 4: kind of went off the rails. But what is wrong
Speaker 4: with fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. Something tells
Speaker 4: me that if you had a new America Party headed
Speaker 4: by Elon Musk, that would probably be the boiled down
Speaker 4: point of it, which supports my sort of libertarian, little
Speaker 4: ill libertarian thinking. Limited government, not telling you how to
Speaker 4: live your life, free markets, competition's good for everyone. Ah,
Speaker 4: at least that's my take on matters. Let us see
Speaker 4: Daniel Davis Deep Dive looking forward to having a conversation
Speaker 4: with about Russia Ukraine. Will also get an update on
Speaker 4: Ron Israel. Israel actually talking about making peace with Syria
Speaker 4: and Lebanon saying that the goal on heights is not negotiable.
Speaker 4: And I understand that the strategic realities of the goal
Speaker 4: on heights, which is one of the Sixth Day war
Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty seven cannot be argued that would be
Speaker 4: is a consequence of the fact that, well, it's the
Speaker 4: goal on heights and it looks over Israel. But there's
Speaker 4: some question whether the Syria really even cares about it.
Speaker 4: So it wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if Syria
Speaker 4: and Lebanon and Israel entered into a peace agreement along
Speaker 4: the lines of the Abraham Accords. Peace in the Middle
Speaker 4: East in our lifetime? Is that even possible? Rwanda's Foreign
Speaker 4: minister saying Trump absolutely deserves the nobel peace price for
Speaker 4: helping end the thirty year conflict with Congo. Thirty years
Speaker 4: they have been fighting, they are no longer fighting. Whether
Speaker 4: it holds remains to be seen. But Rwanda's Foreign minister
Speaker 4: praising Donald Trump for his work and negotiating this peace
Speaker 4: agreement between Ronda and Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Kano, saying,
Speaker 4: this conflict in Eastern DRC is one of the longest
Speaker 4: conflicts on the continent. Thirty years. We have a gen
Speaker 4: had a genocidal movement that has been destabilizing our country
Speaker 4: during this whole period. Anyone, including President Trump, who would
Speaker 4: help sizably to bring this conflict to an end deserves
Speaker 4: the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 1: How about that.
Speaker 4: Pakistan also pushed for Trump to get the Nobel Peace
Speaker 4: Prize as well, after he negotiated at least the systant
Speaker 4: of negotiating into hostilities between Pakistan and India. How about
Speaker 4: that at least he's done something to ward to peace,
Speaker 4: unlike Barack Obama, who got the Nobel Peace Prize for
Speaker 4: well doing literally nothing.
Speaker 1: Zero man.
Speaker 4: You know, the systems are igglant that when that happened,
Speaker 4: just absolutely absolutely anyway, three seven four nine fifty eight
Speaker 4: hundred eight two three pound five fifty on eighteen to vot.
Speaker 4: It's kind of a stream of consciousness morning for me
Speaker 4: here anyway. Right before midnight, Governor Line signed the stage
Speaker 4: two year budget vetoed sixty seven items. As I mentioned before,
Speaker 4: he claimed that they weren't in a hu's best interest
Speaker 4: lease according to the spokesperson who said he vetoed sixty
Speaker 4: seven items. Details on those vetos again not immediately available,
Speaker 4: but apparently that was the highest number of vetos since
Speaker 4: he became governor in twenty nineteen. Previous record forty four.
Speaker 4: For those keeping track, I know, jee Chrecker follows the
Speaker 4: veto numbers very closely. He's got a sports bat on
Speaker 4: that one.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yes, included in the budget, you me other Ohio
Speaker 4: taxpayers are basically funding, and I know it's coming out
Speaker 4: of the unclaim funds, pile of we'll call it a
Speaker 4: slush fund, bank accounts and other things that have gone
Speaker 4: unclaimed for long period of time and end up in
Speaker 4: this four point five I think billion dollar fund. So
Speaker 4: they reached into that and grabbed the money to pay
Speaker 4: for the Browns Stadium thing. I still say you and
Speaker 4: I are equally entitled to that as much as anybody
Speaker 4: who owns the Browns. And imagine what we could possibly
Speaker 4: do with four and a half billion dollars as opposed
Speaker 4: to sending it over to sports teams. He kept the
Speaker 4: income tax cut for a Highlands earning more than one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars. We've got a flat tax now here
Speaker 4: in the state of Ohio all residents making at least
Speaker 4: twenty six fifty one dollars. I would scratch my head.
Speaker 4: How did they end up with that number? Anyway, anybody
Speaker 4: over twenty six thousan fifty one dollars tax to two
Speaker 4: point seventy five percent. They claimed the cut will cost
Speaker 4: the state about one billion dollars in lost revenue. That's okay,
Speaker 4: it's one billion dollars less than they can spend on
Speaker 4: our behalf. The wine had previously said that income tax
Speaker 4: cut was not necessary to bring business into the state.
Speaker 4: Doesn't hurt, though, does it? It makes us more competitive
Speaker 4: with states that don't charge any income tax. Under to
Speaker 4: your budget, House will spend more than eight billion dollars
Speaker 4: annually on K through twelve schools, fifty four million each
Speaker 4: year to reward high performing school districts, so incentive program
Speaker 4: built in there. The budget also created education saving accounts
Speaker 4: for students who attend non chartered religious schools. Lawmakers the
Speaker 4: budget triggers actually has a trigger to eliminate Medicaid coverage
Speaker 4: for about three quarters of a million low income adults
Speaker 4: if the federal government stops covering at least ninety percent
Speaker 4: of the benefits costs. So maybe the current Senate bill
Speaker 4: is in play and to deal with that a trigger
Speaker 4: might be in there. They show the chain would eliminate
Speaker 4: the plan to keep children on Medicaid through their fourth
Speaker 4: birth birthdays and take a step towards banning snap benefits
Speaker 4: for pop and our soda and sugar sweetened beverages. And
Speaker 4: I don't know what that means. Take a step toward
Speaker 4: banning snap benefits for soda and sugar sweetened beverages. I'd
Speaker 4: like to think it just eliminates the payment. They have
Speaker 4: no nutritional value whatsoever. Why is it part of a
Speaker 4: nutrition assistance program if it's not nutrition?
Speaker 1: Yes, rhetorically.
Speaker 4: Five eight two three Talk day, Hang on, buddy, get
Speaker 4: your call right after these brief words. Here's your Channel
Speaker 4: nine first morning weather forecast.
Speaker 1: Let us see here.
Speaker 4: Skys are clear up by dinner time. We have showers
Speaker 4: early this morning. For the cute, eighty four is going
Speaker 4: to be the high today. Overnight should be a quiet night,
Speaker 4: mostly clouds, low of seventy two, sunny guys for the
Speaker 4: most part. Tomorrow eighty five for the high. Clear overnight
Speaker 4: down to sixty four and a mostly sunny Thursday. I
Speaker 4: have eighty nine degrees. I'll see you here.
Speaker 1: Temperature disappeared seventy three right now for the five KOSEV
Speaker 1: Talk stations five.
Speaker 4: Nineteen on a Tuesday, in a happy one for you
Speaker 4: five one three seven nine fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Two three Dog Jay, thanks for holding over the break.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the fifty five Kose Morning Show. Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Brian.
Speaker 2: Hey just heard you talking about Medicaid prods. I couldn't
Speaker 2: stand it, so I had to call in.
Speaker 6: You know, the wine is.
Speaker 2: Just a little background. This whole medicaid fraud with Ohio
Speaker 2: started with President Obama doing Medicaid expansion. And we pick
Speaker 2: expansion just mean lower the bar and let unqualified people in.
Speaker 2: And to the Musk's point being the Unit Party, the
Speaker 2: porky pig party, Yeah, Obama was.
Speaker 6: Able to buy off many.
Speaker 2: I think there was nineteen red steak governors who, like
Speaker 2: Chief Little Horrors that Mike the wine is, took the
Speaker 2: deal and it actually started with Kasik, Republican Governor number one,
Speaker 2: took the deal, forced it into Ohio because you remember,
Speaker 2: it was just what the federal government was going to
Speaker 2: pay for most of the fraud and Ohio I was
Speaker 2: going to pick up the rest. The Wine was against
Speaker 2: it until five minutes after he got on board because
Speaker 2: he saw how much that that federal.
Speaker 6: Money could grow.
Speaker 7: Ohio the Ohio state budget.
Speaker 2: And after two terms, he continued to facilitate the fraud
Speaker 2: back on the back of the federal tax payers, which
Speaker 2: is still everybody listening.
Speaker 6: Is your FICA blind.
Speaker 2: Item, not the Ohio state tax, but your fight attacks
Speaker 2: is what paid for it all. Now he's going to
Speaker 2: get serious about cleaning it up. And the only reason
Speaker 2: he's cleaning it up is because the Big Beautiful Bill
Speaker 2: says that we're going to get people off of Medicaid
Speaker 2: who are able bodied and we're to cut back on SNAP.
Speaker 2: So now he's acting like he's cleaning it up, where
Speaker 2: all he's doing is being is following whatever is going
Speaker 2: on in DC. If the Big Beautiful Bill wasn't going
Speaker 2: to clean up Medicaid, don't kid yourself. The Ohio Republican
Speaker 2: Party wouldn't either. If the Big Beautiful Bill wasn't cleaning
Speaker 2: up Snap, the Ohio Republican Party wouldn't change a damn thing.
Speaker 7: And it's laughable.
Speaker 2: So I think Musk is dead on and I would
Speaker 2: love to hear what the vic Ramaswami if he would
Speaker 2: be the first Republican governor out of three to take.
Speaker 7: This on and not follow Washington's lead.
Speaker 2: And just a reminder, the amount of the amount of
Speaker 2: money that Ohio pays for Medicaid forty some billion dollars
Speaker 2: a year. I think it's forty eight billion dollars a year.
Speaker 2: That's what Pennsylvania funds their entire state, A blue state,
Speaker 2: damn near communist state, with a Democrat governor, a Democrat Senate,
Speaker 2: and Republican House. They run their whole state with a
Speaker 2: larger GDP, a bigger economy than Ohio. They run their
Speaker 2: whole damn.
Speaker 7: State on what Ohio pays were Medicaid.
Speaker 4: And well to think about that, Well, the one thing
Speaker 4: you have to observe in the dirty secret that looms
Speaker 4: in the background of all this. And I think this
Speaker 4: is Obama's brainchild in expanding Medicaid to include all of
Speaker 4: these able bodied adults otherwise wouldn't be eligible for a
Speaker 4: program that was designed to serve the very needy. Is
Speaker 4: that Medicaid is going to be ultimately the universal health
Speaker 4: care for the whole all of America. Bengo, that's the goal, Medicaid,
Speaker 4: not Medicare, Medicaid for all.
Speaker 2: He got his single payer to your point, your dead
Speaker 2: spot on he wanted a single payer, couldn't get it,
Speaker 2: but he did get it through Medicaid and by Republican
Speaker 2: horror governors like Mickey Mouse. The wine that went along
Speaker 2: with it, and so yeah, Musk is right. It is
Speaker 2: one big unit party. And when it comes down to it,
Speaker 2: as long as the governments, long as the federal government's
Speaker 2: paying for it, there's no morals, there's no fiscal responsibility
Speaker 2: in the Ohio Republican Party. There were some better states
Speaker 2: that told Obama, go pound Sand We're not taking it.
Speaker 1: We know what you're up to.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Ohio wasn't one of those better states.
Speaker 4: And I don't understand the financial logic behind it, Jay,
Speaker 4: I really don't. I mean, the federal government shortage shouldering
Speaker 4: the burden for the vast majority of the Medicaid recipients
Speaker 4: under the expansion whatever. I don't know how that benefits
Speaker 4: Ohio financially. It just allows them to expand a program
Speaker 4: that they have no obligation to fund primarily, but how
Speaker 4: does that make Ohio improve Ohio's fiscal situation?
Speaker 2: You had a guest on Man, and I wish I
Speaker 2: could remember who it was that explained it that it
Speaker 2: grew the Ohio offers, the size of the budget was
Speaker 2: able to grow for other things. Maybe because they paid
Speaker 2: ninety percent only paid ten and there were some other kickbacks,
Speaker 2: some other funds coming into Ohio, and I wish I
Speaker 2: could remember who it was laid it out and I
Speaker 2: could have written it down. But but but what I
Speaker 2: was the takeaway was that there was more spending for
Speaker 2: more stuff and things for the wine and in the
Speaker 2: Ohio Republican Party because they took the fraud and on
Speaker 2: the back of the rest of us, on the back
Speaker 2: of the federal taxpayers, on the back of Ohio, they
Speaker 2: were able to get more money into the Ohio budget.
Speaker 2: But I cannot remember how to connect the dots. But
Speaker 2: I'll see if I could dig into that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, I vaguely remember that conversation, But honestly, Jay,
Speaker 4: it's like I can't remember what it did five minutes
Speaker 4: ago most days, and with all the guests I have
Speaker 4: on and all the information, I don't know your recollection
Speaker 4: is accurate. It's just I can't put my finger on
Speaker 4: or i'd go back into the podcast pages the archives
Speaker 4: there and try to find that. But yeah, anyway, bottom
Speaker 4: line is why would you expand that program period? End
Speaker 4: of story? And then the answer exists out there somewhere
Speaker 4: in the world, But it certainly isn't a conservative thing
Speaker 4: to do. And I think paying it back and turning
Speaker 4: the program back into what it was originally intended to be,
Speaker 4: which is something that serves the very critically needy. Is
Speaker 4: the effort is the right direction to go.
Speaker 6: So yeah, well he didn't do it. Bottom line is, no,
Speaker 6: he didn't do it.
Speaker 7: He's following the leader.
Speaker 2: And if they at the federal level, if they weren't
Speaker 2: going to reform this, this medicaid and snap, he wouldn't
Speaker 2: have done a damn thing.
Speaker 1: They don't buy into it.
Speaker 4: No, there's no buying into anything. I agree with you
Speaker 4: completely on that. Plus, he's got one foot out the
Speaker 4: door anyway. Vive Ramaswami will be our next governor. I
Speaker 4: think we can look forward to that. Jay, appreciate it. Man,
Speaker 4: always enjoy hearing from you. By twenty six, right now,
Speaker 4: I've got local stories or more phone calls. It's up
Speaker 4: to you to decide the direction we go. But I'll
Speaker 4: be right back after these words.
Speaker 8: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 4: John nine says, good showers this morning, and it's going
Speaker 4: to go up to eighty four today with sky is
Speaker 4: clearing up at least by around dinner time.
Speaker 1: Overnight lois seventy two with clouds.
Speaker 4: Wednesday's going to be mostly sunny, less humid eighty five
Speaker 4: degrees for the high clear every night sixty four and
Speaker 4: on Thursday, mostly sunny day again. Heat humidity returned for
Speaker 4: Friday and the weekend. They're saying we'll have a dry
Speaker 4: fourth of July. On Friday, Thursday's high eighty nine presently
Speaker 4: seventy four degree to.
Speaker 1: Fifty five per seed.
Speaker 4: Talk station Happy Tuesdays five one thirty seven, four nine
Speaker 4: fifty five hundred eight eight two three talk Tom hold
Speaker 4: on one second. I have to get this one story
Speaker 4: in in light of Jay's conversation about a Medicaid real quick,
Speaker 4: two people from Cincinnati among more than a dozen of
Speaker 4: Highlands accused of de fraudying the government healthcare program Medicaid.
Speaker 4: Twelve home health aids, and one behavioral health specialist allegedly
Speaker 4: build Medicaid to combine almost one hundred and ninety thousand
Speaker 4: dollars for services they didn't provide. Ag Yost announced the
Speaker 4: indictments yesterday as part of the US Department to Justice's
Speaker 4: National health care fraud takedown. I got more stories on
Speaker 4: that later. Fifty three year old John Thomas charged with
Speaker 4: Medicaid no relation Medicaid fraud and theft after allegedly submitting
Speaker 4: time sheets which he claimed he provided in home services
Speaker 4: while the recipient happened to be hospitalized.
Speaker 1: For three months.
Speaker 4: Same thing with thirty five year old Dona Wells builds
Speaker 4: for services when the recipients were hospitalized while she was
Speaker 4: traveling in Georgia and Nevada, both of them from Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: Of the defendants facing charges defrauding medicator from Cleveland, Akron, Columbus,
Speaker 4: among other areas of Ohio, billing for made up service
Speaker 4: checks every box for fraud wasted abuse. According to the Oaths,
Speaker 4: Medicaid fraud steals from the vulnerable and from the taxpayers
Speaker 4: who fund the program, and we don't tolerate that in Ohio.
Speaker 4: Well it's a step in the right direction anyway, Tom,
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for indulging me on
Speaker 4: that one since it was related topic. Good to hear
Speaker 4: from me this morning.
Speaker 7: Oh, I ain't no problem.
Speaker 9: It's uh gotta get that got to get that information
Speaker 9: out there, and and uh, it's just that's what happens
Speaker 9: when you have this big old pot of money that
Speaker 9: all these people can get their hands into. So I think,
Speaker 9: you know the most important game would be that so
Speaker 9: to shrink this size of this pot of money, and
Speaker 9: whatever we got to do to do that, I'm not
Speaker 9: I'm not claiming to be smart enough to have the
Speaker 9: answers to exactly how to do that. But we we
Speaker 9: gotta we gotta have less money available to the to
Speaker 9: the government, less money to hand out uh as as
Speaker 9: free bes or whatever. And you better have a damn
Speaker 9: good reason if you if you feel like you need
Speaker 9: government assistance from whatever government level you're trying to get
Speaker 9: it from. But yeah, there's still the there's still the
Speaker 9: idea that this is a bottomless pot of money, that
Speaker 9: that that comes from all these these different levels of government,
Speaker 9: and it's just not true. And we are just spending
Speaker 9: ourselves into oblivion. And who knows, Maybe it's the holes
Speaker 9: too deep, I don't know, but it seems that way.
Speaker 4: It's like, well, you know, you're a part of the
Speaker 4: problem is and we're finding this out. I mean, I
Speaker 4: got a story to talking about fourteen point six billion
Speaker 4: dollar Medicare fraud. They just announced this yesterday that it
Speaker 4: involves a multiple three hundred plus defendants fourteen point six
Speaker 4: billion dollars. And when you read the details of what
Speaker 4: they were able to do.
Speaker 1: There isn't.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess criminals and frankly, you know, I'd
Speaker 4: like to use SCC non compliant words. They figured out
Speaker 4: that there is no oversight. The program's so damn big
Speaker 4: that it's impossible to ferret out fraud, waste and abuse.
Speaker 1: So why not tap into it.
Speaker 4: It's easy to rip the government off because they're not
Speaker 4: following where the dollars are going. This is something that
Speaker 4: Doge was looking into with USAD. You know, look, how
Speaker 4: where did that money go? Did it actually do anything?
Speaker 1: We don't know?
Speaker 4: I mean there in lies the challenge. There's way too
Speaker 4: much government period, end of story. But because it's so
Speaker 4: colossal in size and it's fuel by our taxpayer dollars
Speaker 4: that no one bothers to account for, guess what, You're
Speaker 4: gonna have a ton of fraud, waste and abuse.
Speaker 9: Well, what's what's the old story?
Speaker 10: How do you?
Speaker 9: How do you eat an elephant one one by at
Speaker 9: a time?
Speaker 1: Yep, something like that.
Speaker 9: You just gotta just gotta do one thing at a time,
Speaker 9: just keep chipping away at it. And for God's says,
Speaker 9: don't vote Democrat. Have a great day.
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom. They knew that was coming at some point. Yeah, but.
Speaker 4: That's a good point. You got to telegraph for the
Speaker 4: rest of the world that we're not going to abide
Speaker 4: the fraud, waste, and abuse, so that we are going
Speaker 4: to hold out these people as illustrations of the prosecutions
Speaker 4: and the criminal convictions that you will face if you
Speaker 4: engage in similar conduct. We're not asleep in the wheel anymore.
Speaker 4: We're doing something about it. One can only hope that
Speaker 4: that's the direction we go.
Speaker 1: Ah, here we go.
Speaker 4: Just Trecker staying out of the news this morning headline
Speaker 4: box nineteen one dad five herd in Cincinnati shootings overnight.
Speaker 4: One person dad, five others heard multiple shootings, according to
Speaker 4: since a police homicide investigators responded to the twenty three
Speaker 4: hundred block of Reading Road near McGregor outside the Shell
Speaker 4: gas station after two people were shot at twelve thirty
Speaker 4: this morning. One of them died of the scene, second
Speaker 4: showed up at a hospital shortly after it. No victim
Speaker 4: or suspect information yet been released, and police have not
Speaker 4: said what led to the violence. One of four shootings overnight,
Speaker 4: English would police on the scene the apartment building a
Speaker 4: two thousand block of westwn Northern Boulevard, responding at four
Speaker 4: am to reportable woman who was shot in the apartment.
Speaker 4: Westwood Northern Boulevard apparently shut down between Sutter and Beatman
Speaker 4: at least a quarter of the time of this reporting,
Speaker 4: which was very recently same place where a twenty two
Speaker 4: ye old woman was gunned down less than a month
Speaker 4: ago on June ninth. Moving over to Over the Rhine,
Speaker 4: two men show and what police describe as a drive
Speaker 4: by shooting on Stark Streak near Hannah Playground eleven forty
Speaker 4: five pm last evening. More than a dozen shellcasings found
Speaker 4: in the street. Yeah, that's in spite of the additional
Speaker 4: patrols going on there, Joe, I guess, or maybe they weren't.
Speaker 4: Both victims and the Over the Ryne shooting tune to
Speaker 4: UC Medical Center corn to police one has life threatening injuries.
Speaker 4: And then we move over to Winton Hills. Officers responded
Speaker 4: to his shooting at Vivian Place in winn sd Avenue
Speaker 4: near the Winton Hills Wreck Center eleven ten pm last night.
Speaker 1: Shooting.
Speaker 4: Victim found shot in the arm, expected to recover. Suspect
Speaker 4: fled the scene.
Speaker 1: H this comes.
Speaker 4: I'm quoting Fox nineteen as Cincinnati sees an uptick in
Speaker 4: violent crime, including homicides. Violent crime up seventeen percent in
Speaker 4: the last twenty eight days. Courted Police Chief three Satiji.
Speaker 4: I guess they didn't bother calling up the mayor to
Speaker 4: ask him what his opinions and thoughts were a Joe,
Speaker 4: because there's no reference to the mayor in this article.

Speaker 4: from OHC personally. Uh let us go and turn to
Speaker 4: the eastack of stupid. But you can call five on
Speaker 4: three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
Speaker 4: eight two three DODG. We're talking about smith Man. Yes,
Speaker 4: say remember the podcast page fifty five cars dot com
Speaker 4: for the Smither vent. He was really on a tear
Speaker 4: about city violence. Obviously, it has not gone away since
Speaker 4: yesterday when he was on a tear about it. And
Speaker 4: in one of his primary targets about city violence is
Speaker 4: the fact that UH city council in the mayor never
Speaker 4: speak out loud about it. They never support the police
Speaker 4: out loud. They never asked the communities to work with
Speaker 4: the police. The silence is deafening. He've viewed that as
Speaker 4: like sort of a defund the police, sort of revelations,
Speaker 4: like we all know what's on their mind, what they
Speaker 4: really would prefer to do anyhow, over the stack of stupid.
Speaker 4: McLain County, Illinois, a woman in Illinois accused of grooming
Speaker 4: a fifteen year old child even after a protective order
Speaker 4: was put in place. Do what the hell, she's thirty
Speaker 4: three years old. We're talking about a fifteen year old
Speaker 4: here charged with grooming. A court hearing last week, prosecutor
Speaker 4: said Mills Jessica Mills, who's thirty three, had contact with
Speaker 4: the team despite their being a protective order forbidding her
Speaker 4: from having any contact with the child. On one occasion
Speaker 4: of March this year, the teenager was found hiding under
Speaker 4: a bed in a motel room where the two were
Speaker 4: staying together. What are your children doing right now? Months later,
Speaker 4: the team that allegedly had sexually explicit videos of Mills
Speaker 4: and they shared inappropriate text messages. Well there's a red flag.
Speaker 4: And just every time, I can't let this go by
Speaker 4: and not comment on the absolute outright not only stupidity
Speaker 4: of getting involved with a fifteen year old as a
Speaker 4: thirty three year old adult or any other adult, but
Speaker 4: the idea that you would record this on video and
Speaker 4: then think it's not going to get shared to the
Speaker 4: rest of the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it is.
Speaker 4: It's just like, come on, man, it's twenty twenty five
Speaker 4: and kids have not changed. Now, bet it was the
Speaker 4: fifteen year old that showed video to other people, and
Speaker 4: that's how it became something on somebody's radar. God, well,
Speaker 4: aren't we all glad and please that they're so blank
Speaker 4: and stupid. While Mills was held in jail for violating
Speaker 4: the protection order, the prosecutor said she allegedly made phone
Speaker 4: calls from jail talking about her relationship with the teenager.
Speaker 4: She fled not guilty to the felony charge of judge
Speaker 4: granted the state's petition to keep her in jail before
Speaker 4: her trial grooming class four felony. She could get one
Speaker 4: to three years in prison or only probation. Of course,
Speaker 4: that's an option. And similar yet unrelated news, former teacher
Speaker 4: at a Michigan charter school allegedly had said sexual relationship
Speaker 4: with a sixteen year old student told a colleague about it.
Speaker 1: Why are you doing that?
Speaker 4: Joslyn Sandraman twenty six years old charge of thirty degree
Speaker 4: sexual contact. Sexual relationship happened at twenty twenty three, when
Speaker 4: she was a teacher at the oak Side Prep Academy
Speaker 4: outside of Detroit. She had not been a rain as
Speaker 4: a Monday morning, but her mugshot was posted by deputies
Speaker 4: in Oakland County Signeran told another teacher about her sexual
Speaker 4: relationship with a teenage boy, and that teacher then reported
Speaker 4: her to the police. Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald quote
Speaker 4: is this defendant is accused of using her position of
Speaker 4: authority to exploit a minor victim. These allegations to represent
Speaker 4: the ultimate breach of trust placed in educators and parents
Speaker 4: in the community. As a former teacher myself, I applaud
Speaker 4: the teacher who contacted at least about this situation, protecting
Speaker 4: our students from further exploitation. Now, she did say, the
Speaker 4: prosecutor said of a sixteen year old can consent, but
Speaker 4: it's not the same when the traation relationship with the teacher.
Speaker 4: Cordner's statements because we need to make school the safest
Speaker 4: place we can be for kids right safe from gun violence,
Speaker 4: safe from assault, safe from sexual assault. School is supposed
Speaker 4: to be someplace where your kids feel safe. If convicted,
Speaker 4: she could face up to fifteen years in prison. School
Speaker 4: of Fishes call the allegations troubling. Yeah, I'd say five
Speaker 4: forty fivefty five k see detalk station more stupid coming
Speaker 4: up or your phone calls.
Speaker 8: Either way, be right back fifty five KRC.
Speaker 4: Tenon and I said, there's got a little bit of
Speaker 4: rain this morning. It'll clear up at least dinner time.
Speaker 4: Today's high eighty four, every night low was seventy two
Speaker 4: with mostly cloudy skies eighty five to high tomorrow with
Speaker 4: mostly sunny skies overnight clear and sixty four and a
Speaker 4: sunny day on Thursday again with a high of eighty
Speaker 4: nine seventy two degrees. Right now, time for a traffic
Speaker 4: updates or not, it's becoming more common. I know Chuck
Speaker 4: Ingram did a traffic and just disappeared in the system somewhere.
Speaker 4: It's just stay tuned for a crack. You got your
Speaker 4: system gonna go down. Joe, don't say that kind of
Speaker 4: stuff out loud, although you know, given the track record here,
Speaker 4: it's to be expected. At least Joe Strecker is the
Speaker 4: right man for the job when it hits the fan,
Speaker 4: if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Five on three two three talk returning to the e stack.
Speaker 1: Oh stupid.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: Connecticut State Representative rog Hebe Ali Brennan, Democrat, said Uh
Speaker 4: on his social media account that his erect on a
Speaker 4: shoplifting charge was due to his failure to scan two
Speaker 4: items as he used the self checkout at the Target
Speaker 4: store in Bethel. He sat in his post on Facebook,
Speaker 4: I was in a rush to bring items to my
Speaker 4: grandmother in the hospital. The store didn't have bags, and
Speaker 4: I was juggling multiple purchases. Whatever, Thank you, Liam, That's
Speaker 4: exactly what I was thinking. Joe issued a misdemeanor summons
Speaker 4: for his sixth degree a sixth degree larceny. Bethel Police
Speaker 4: summary was arrestedated that he was detained by Target loss
Speaker 4: prevention personnel who told police they recognized them from quote
Speaker 4: previous unreported larcenies close quote a recidivist arrested after police
Speaker 4: reviewed security video was showing him attempting to leave the
Speaker 4: store with just under twenty seven dollars in unpaid merchandise.
Speaker 4: No additional details on the summary. Ali Brennan, thirty three
Speaker 4: four lawmaker first elected in twenty eighteen, did not respond
Speaker 4: to requests for comment from local news there beyond his
Speaker 4: statement on social media, which did not address the accusations
Speaker 4: of prior larcenies. He said on Facebook, while I do
Speaker 4: not have a record, I take full responsibility for the
Speaker 4: error and I'm working through the legal process to resolve
Speaker 4: the matter quickly and respectfully. Now you know, I'm thinking
Speaker 4: about self checkout.
Speaker 7: You got it.
Speaker 4: Let's see you have arms full of stuff because they
Speaker 4: didn't have like a cart or bag or something.
Speaker 1: Don't you put all that.
Speaker 4: Stuff down and then scan items one at a time,
Speaker 4: making it virtually impossible, if not literally impossible, to accidentally.
Speaker 1: Not scan some of the items.
Speaker 4: Now, who can argue with that?
Speaker 1: This is creepy.
Speaker 4: Michigan family described as terrified and for the ring camera
Speaker 4: captured a masked man standing at their door, and this
Speaker 4: has happened multiple times. Hater Nebille said he bought a
Speaker 4: ring camera after a scary incident which someone came to
Speaker 4: his house and banged on the windows and doors. So
Speaker 4: within about a week and a half since buying the camera,
Speaker 4: he's caught a suspicious person on camera multiple times at
Speaker 4: his home in Dearborne Heights, Michigan. Nebill said, a guy
Speaker 4: with a black ski mask started banging on the door.
Speaker 4: We got that on footage and he ran and then
Speaker 4: this time it was an orange mask. Nebill said he's
Speaker 4: not worried about this being a targeted attack because he
Speaker 4: said there's no reason anyone would have a problem with
Speaker 4: his mom or his younger siblings, but he's it's scaring
Speaker 4: the family, of course. Deerborne Heights Police said the disturbing
Speaker 4: behavior happening at other homes in the neighborhood as well.
Speaker 4: According to Bill, they did tell us that there was
Speaker 4: another occurrence in the neighborhood. That's at least what they
Speaker 4: told us. That it's been happening to other people. So
Speaker 4: I don't think this is a targeting thing. I think
Speaker 4: it's just some teenagers messing around and thinking they're funny.
Speaker 4: It's good way to get killed. Though I'm not suggesting
Speaker 4: for a moment that this justifies the use of a firearm.
Speaker 4: Someone banging on your doors and windows is not something
Speaker 4: that you know is justifiable for use of a deadly force.
Speaker 4: But there are people out there unfamiliar with the law
Speaker 4: who might believe that it is a situation where they
Speaker 4: can use deadly force. It's like that TikTok inspired trend
Speaker 4: where kids are kicking in front doors. You know, breaking
Speaker 4: and entering might be a justification for use of deadly force.
Speaker 4: Do you have a conversation with your children about that?
Speaker 1: One?
Speaker 4: Uh Former Underscore Score jewelry store manager in the United
Speaker 4: Kingdom sentenced to twenty eight months in prison after posting
Speaker 4: selfies wearing stolen merchandise and sending them to her co workers.
Speaker 12: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
Speaker 4: Jewelry store manager Lucy Roberts thirty nine, frequently took jewelry
Speaker 4: home jewelry speak it right, Brian home with her during
Speaker 4: the year as she worked at a high end jewelry
Speaker 4: shop corn To police, she told suspicious coworkers she was,
Speaker 4: in her words, conducting work at home and sorting stock
Speaker 4: for the workshop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Only when Roberts quit went on vacation that her colleagues
Speaker 4: realized where the jewelry went. She began sending her former
Speaker 4: coworkers selfies from a cruise ship decked out in items
Speaker 4: that had been, in fact taken from the shop. Why
Speaker 4: are you doing that, Detective Sergeant Christa Wilkinson the statement,
Speaker 4: without care in the world, dripping in diamonds, thinking she
Speaker 4: had deceived everybody. Police found thousands of dollars worth of jewelry,
Speaker 4: they say, pounds of course, strewn around in boxes, beneath
Speaker 4: the bed and in cupboards. After searching her home in total,
Speaker 4: she stole more than one hundred and seventy thousand dollars
Speaker 4: in diamonds, gold, silver, and bespoke jewelry, as well as cash.
Speaker 1: Police said.
Speaker 4: Roberts initially denied she had stolen any stock from the employer,
Speaker 4: insisting that she had borrowed some of the jewelry from
Speaker 4: a coworker and that they planted the other items in
Speaker 4: her bags. Whatever, that's a stretch, but later entered a
Speaker 4: guilty p plea for theft by an employee, netting her
Speaker 4: twenty eight months in prison. She got arrested at Heathrow Airport.
Speaker 4: They took her in to custody after finding her wearing
Speaker 4: a substantial amount of stolen jewelry with more stolen merchandise
Speaker 4: in her suitcase. Body camera footage from the arrest shows
Speaker 4: her removing some of the jewelry as she was escorted
Speaker 4: through Heathrow Airport in.
Speaker 1: An attempt to dispose of it.
Speaker 4: A stupid Yeah, well clearly in this case, absolutely they
Speaker 4: planted it on me. Fifty fifty five, Gary, see the
Speaker 4: dog stations. We've got more to talk about SI o'clock hour,
Speaker 4: and steer the direction of the conversation, as I always say,
Speaker 4: by calling me feel free to do so. Otherwise we'll
Speaker 4: move on in whatever direction I decide. Hope you can
Speaker 4: stick around.
Speaker 1: News happens fast, stay up to date. At the top
Speaker 1: of the hour, we're moving very quickly.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC the talk station Clay and Buck here
Speaker 4: is where we are right now.
Speaker 1: We are rocking Clay.
Speaker 4: Travis and Buck Sexton, kicking ass and taking nature today
Speaker 4: at noon on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: SHI six I six.
Speaker 4: If you've got KRC DE talk station Maryan Thomas fishing here,
Speaker 4: I want a very happy Tuesday.
Speaker 1: And inviting you to stick around all morning if you can.
Speaker 4: Also inviting you to phone if I went three seven
Speaker 4: fifty eight hundred eighty two three talk coming up seven
Speaker 4: point thirty with the next governor of the state of Ohio.
Speaker 4: We make Ramaswami joins a program talk about well record
Speaker 4: fundraising and that does not shock me. Plus Ohio budget
Speaker 4: to wine just signed in. We don't know what the
Speaker 4: veto are sixties a record sixty seven line item vetos
Speaker 4: still the list of those has not come out. But yes,
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns did get their six hundred million dollars
Speaker 4: in what I would argue belongs to you and me,
Speaker 4: the taxpayers here in the state of Ohio. Just man,
Speaker 4: that irks me because I know I've said it more
Speaker 4: than time than I probably should have, but it's really
Speaker 4: irks me, so anyway. Vvek at seven thirty Inside s
Speaker 4: Coop with bright Bart News Fast forward to eight oh five.
Speaker 1: Bradley J.
Speaker 4: Brightbart, Deputy news director and former Capitol hal staffer, on
Speaker 4: the big beautiful bill, which is still currently being debated.
Speaker 4: What I hear at the top of the our news
Speaker 4: progress is a very elusive thing. Yeah, uh, and absolutely
Speaker 4: zero confidence right now that it's going to pass. Going
Speaker 4: back to Elon Musk's comments that we really are under
Speaker 4: the control of basically what amounts to a uniparty. Both
Speaker 4: sides just spend way too much. Although you know, someone
Speaker 4: made a valid point about his criticism. This reconciliation bill
Speaker 4: is not the place where you can deal with the
Speaker 4: stuff that Doge was looking into. I mean, it is
Speaker 4: an insane spending bill.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 4: The America Party will be formed the day after it
Speaker 4: gets signed into law, if in fact it does get
Speaker 4: signed into law. But this bill, because it's under reconciliation,
Speaker 4: cannot legally include cuts to discretionary spending, which is what
Speaker 4: the Elon Musk Doge initiative was looking after. So there's
Speaker 4: a qualification there. I embrace Elon Musk's criticism of the
Speaker 4: size of the scope of government, the fact that we
Speaker 4: basically do live in a uniparty, but to the extent
Speaker 4: you want to cut out ridiculous like shrimp on Treadmill's programs,
Speaker 4: or you know, transgender Sesame Street or whatever the hell
Speaker 4: else he identified, this apparently is not the place to
Speaker 4: do it, nor is it the place to do a
Speaker 4: lot of things that they endeavored to do before the
Speaker 4: parliamentarian yanked them out, claiming that they were not they
Speaker 4: didn't qualify into the reconciliation concepts anyway. It's a lot
Speaker 4: like the Piece of God. So inside scoop at eight
Speaker 4: o five and then maybe we'll actually have something done
Speaker 4: by eight h five. Daniel Davis Deep dive The latest
Speaker 4: on Russia Ukraine. Russia putting a whole bunch of new
Speaker 4: troops in Ukraine fifty thousand, outnumbering the Ukrainian troops three
Speaker 4: to one, and the casualties are mounting. Plus the latest
Speaker 4: on Iran in Israel, most notably the Fatwah that that
Speaker 4: crazy fundamentalist Muslim guy put on President Trump and President
Speaker 4: of Prime Minister Net Yahoo.
Speaker 1: Anyhow, I wanted to get this in.
Speaker 4: You know, I appreciate the editorial page of the Wall
Speaker 4: Street Journal a lot, and I make some great points.
Speaker 4: And today I'm going to focus on Matthew Hennessy's Capitalism
Speaker 4: needs champions comments because they're really important, I think. But
Speaker 4: in the background of this, I'm going back to New
Speaker 4: York in this crazy Kami that has gotten the nomination
Speaker 4: for mayor and Mom Donnie. He's a communist. He's on
Speaker 4: record as saying he is. Now he tries to deny it,
Speaker 4: and you know, you get the PolitiFact, you know, fact
Speaker 4: checkers out there saying that's not true. But there's a
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one clipped out resurfaced yes, of course, twenty
Speaker 4: twenty one Young Democrats Socialist of America conference where he
Speaker 4: argues that the purpose of the entire project is quote
Speaker 4: not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism
Speaker 4: and elected leaders who are unapologetic about socialism.
Speaker 1: Like him.
Speaker 4: He probably embraces it. It's a big giant sign over
Speaker 4: the back of his head. I am a socialist. But
Speaker 4: he's beyond that because he said the end goal is
Speaker 4: seizing the means of production. That's plain flat out communism
Speaker 4: when the state controls the means of production. His words,
Speaker 4: not mine. I'm not putting them in his mouth, just
Speaker 4: telling me what they've got there. So pivoting over to
Speaker 4: Matthew Hennessy, he says, let zoron mam Donnie's victory last
Speaker 4: week's Democratic Mary primary in New York service your periodic
Speaker 4: reminder that capitalism is in dire need of able defenders.
Speaker 4: Socialism has more cheerleaders than it deserves, considering its record
Speaker 4: of consistent failure. Markets need champions too. This is always true,
Speaker 4: especially now. If he thought soft headed notions about inequality
Speaker 4: and making the rich pay their fair share would die
Speaker 4: out as dinosaurs like Bernie Sanders faded from the scene,
Speaker 4: you should know by now how wrong you were. The
Speaker 4: eighty three year old Vermont senator isn't fading. He's still
Speaker 4: jetting around the country barking about oligarchs and exploitation. In
Speaker 4: Representative Alexandria Casio Cortez and mister mom Donni. He has
Speaker 4: talented and energetic errors. They'll be around for decades. Believers
Speaker 4: in free markets and free people need us strap in.
Speaker 4: The adversary is formidable, young, good looking, social media savvy.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a long, exhausting fight in this
Speaker 4: twilight struggle, the truth has an advantage. Socialism is incompatible
Speaker 4: with human nature. People are driven to build, to invest,
Speaker 4: to strive and be productive, to pursue their own families
Speaker 4: well being above all. It's something I say all the time.
Speaker 4: The fools is the one that's not looking out for
Speaker 4: his or her own best interests. That's human nature. Socialism
Speaker 4: subverts these impulses. It requires coercion to achieve anything resembling success.
Speaker 4: It's an intellectual lab leak. Misery follows wherever it's tried.
Speaker 4: Yet each generation somehow produces naves who are certain that
Speaker 4: collectivism is the true longing of the human heart.
Speaker 1: They know they can make it work. This time.
Speaker 4: Young voters who supported mister Mumdonmie were primed by their
Speaker 4: expensive educations to buy his line that capitalism is rigged
Speaker 4: in favor of the rich. All they've ever been told
Speaker 4: by teachers, professors, TV and TikTok is that markets are inhumane.
Speaker 4: Capitalism is rapacious and bad for the climate. They may
Speaker 4: never have heard a single word of the contrary. This
Speaker 4: is a failure of education. Yes, basic economics is rarely
Speaker 4: taught in high school or required in college. But it's
Speaker 4: equally a failure of public relations. Who's making a sustaining,
Speaker 4: coherent public case for American style capitalism. The field's wide open.
Speaker 4: We need a new Milton Friedman and Thomas Soules. The
Speaker 4: product itself isn't the problem. Free markets have made life better, healthier,
Speaker 4: and more prosperous in demonstrable ways for billions of people.
Speaker 4: Anti capitalists on both left and right struggle to make
Speaker 4: a serious case that things are worse now than they
Speaker 4: were one hundred or one hundred and fifty years ago.
Speaker 4: Take a moment to imagine life without washing machines or chemotherapy.
Speaker 4: Competitive markets foster innovation and allocate resources with remarkable efficiency.
Speaker 4: They work even when markets come up shorter or create
Speaker 4: externalities like pollution. The incredible wealth they generate can be
Speaker 4: used to fill the gaps. That's another point I made
Speaker 4: many times over the years. You know you deal with
Speaker 4: pollution when you become a wealthy nation. It takes wealth
Speaker 4: to clean up period. Anyway, when socialism fails, as it
Speaker 4: inevitably does, the only option is brutality. This always gets
Speaker 4: glossed over on MSNBC and CNN. I'd like to hear
Speaker 4: mister mom Domi explain how he plans to keep New
Speaker 4: Yorkers captive when his experiment goes south. Markets are more
Speaker 4: than efficient, which would be an argument enough in a
Speaker 4: head to head competition with socialism. They're also moral. Markets
Speaker 4: enable willing and mutually beneficial exchange among free people. They
Speaker 4: abominate coercion. They encourage a belief that tomorrow will be
Speaker 4: better than today, no one will bother investing apps in
Speaker 4: and expectation that it will pay off. Capitalism is synonymous
Speaker 4: with confidence in the future. No, the problem isn't capitalism.
Speaker 4: The problem is complacency. Capitalists take too much for granted.
Speaker 4: They assume the product is so good that it will
Speaker 4: sell itself. Mister mom Donnie's victory shows otherwise. The world
Speaker 4: is full of capitalists who don't realize what they are.
Speaker 4: The owner operator of a Corner Deli is no less
Speaker 4: a capitalist than Jeff Bezos. Most capitalists go about their
Speaker 4: business quietly. By serving customers' needs, they do more for
Speaker 4: society's overall well being than any charity. They should be celebrated,
Speaker 4: not vilified. Politicians vining to lead cities built on business
Speaker 4: ought to understand and respect market forces. Capital is mobile
Speaker 4: and it goes where it's treated well. There are no
Speaker 4: walls around Wall Street market Thatcher correctly diagnosed socialism's inherent defect.
Speaker 4: Eventually you run out of other people's money. Mister mom
Speaker 4: Damie seems committed to teaching eight point two million New
Speaker 4: Yorkers this lesson the hard way. My appeal, not mine,
Speaker 4: Matthew Hennessy. Again, props and credits isn't to tech gurus
Speaker 4: and investment bankers. It's to all the everyday capitalists in
Speaker 4: New York and beyond, the striving small business owners and
Speaker 4: sole proprietors who are building something of value where nothing
Speaker 4: existed before. If you believe in free markets, speak up, amen,
Speaker 4: Matthew Hennessy.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 4: You know, and the one thing about this crazy Mom
Speaker 4: Dami comedy guy is it's this kind of conversation that
Speaker 4: springs from the reality that he won the primary. And
Speaker 4: I will emphasize and hold in my belief heart of
Speaker 4: arts that you know the fact that only less than
Speaker 4: thirty percent of New York voters even bothered to show up.
Speaker 4: It's those committed crazies that Matthew Hennessy's writing about, these
Speaker 4: committed socialists that have no concept of economics or economic reality,
Speaker 4: supply and demand, the fact that we all sort of
Speaker 4: inherently look out for our own best interests, which is
Speaker 4: what drives the world. They're true believers, they're the useful idiots.
Speaker 4: But I mean, you know, you only have to look
Speaker 4: back at COVID and the financial reality is going on
Speaker 4: the state of New York. People left because they are
Speaker 4: taxed and regulated to hell and back. Once people were
Speaker 4: given the option, and so many big businesses unplugged from
Speaker 4: New York and moved to like Boka Raton, Florida. That
Speaker 4: article I read the other day, the mayor down there
Speaker 4: appealing to all the rich New Yorkers come on down.
Speaker 1: The water's fine.
Speaker 4: At least he's prompting an analysis, and maybe he'll prompt
Speaker 4: the Democrat Party to quit going further and further left.
Speaker 4: Although you know that ultimately maybe completely its end. I
Speaker 4: can only pray for that day. It's crazy, what's going
Speaker 4: on there. Six seventeen fifty five k SE detalk station
Speaker 4: speaking of businesses who make life better. Zimmer Heating and
Speaker 4: air Conditioning. It's time of year man, with the heat

Speaker 1: I mean full on belly up now. Zimber will repair systems.
Speaker 1: They can.
Speaker 4: You know, you've got an HVAC system called Zimmer, maybe
Speaker 4: needs a maintenance or upkeep. Maybe you want to get
Speaker 4: on a maintenance program to keep your system well, alive,
Speaker 4: longer and efficient running. Well, that's what Zimmer does. They've
Speaker 4: been keeping home safe, efficient, comfortable for nearly eighty years.
Speaker 4: Third generation familyin and operated and they own or rather

Speaker 4: Comedy can't listen live to Christopher Smithman and the smith
Speaker 4: Event every Monday. You'll find it right there on the
Speaker 4: podcast page. Of course, he was talking about crime. The
Speaker 4: silence from the mayor and the console people are deafening
Speaker 4: when it comes to crime. More crime over last night,
Speaker 4: one dead, five hurt in Cincinnati's shootings, English Woods, Winton Hills,
Speaker 4: among others. My friend Maureen Florida. More shootings last night
Speaker 4: in this month, they out of town guests for my
Speaker 4: daughter's upcoming wedding or telling me that they are hearing
Speaker 4: bad things about downtown Cincinnati and wanted no where to
Speaker 4: stay outside of the city limits. Well's I think that's
Speaker 4: exactly why the I have to have provol and the
Speaker 4: council people don't say anything. They want to give you
Speaker 4: this perception that everything's hunky dory, fine and dandy, and
Speaker 4: it's not. I mean police chief threats that Thiji came
Speaker 4: out yesterday and said crime is up twenty seven percent. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean he gets undeniable. There are still local news
Speaker 4: out there reporting the realities there is. You know, the
Speaker 4: police calls are monitored and heard. You know, when the
Speaker 4: police shut down a street like they did overnight to
Speaker 4: deal with one of these shootings, the rest of the
Speaker 4: general public finds out about it and it gets reported on.
Speaker 4: So just because counsel and the mayor don't come out
Speaker 4: and talk about it, doesn't mean it's not going on
Speaker 4: out there, and people don't well, people fully appreciate what's
Speaker 4: going on in their own neighborhoods. That's like said you said, Christopher,
Speaker 4: talking about that yesterday, Hio Republican Party chairman Alex Chairantifilo heard.
Speaker 4: I guess you don't know if he's listened to me,
Speaker 4: but he got a hold of the same article another
Speaker 4: bloody night in Cincinnati said that it's not just Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: As I make this post from Columbus, they have the
Speaker 4: same problems. We need more cops, more jails, and longer sentences,
Speaker 4: and that tail point is one of the problems we
Speaker 4: have in the justice system. I think the police officers
Speaker 4: would round more people up and arrest them for the
Speaker 4: crimes they've committed, like curfew violations, if they thought the
Speaker 4: justice system would actually deal with them accordingly and meet
Speaker 4: out harsh punishments. As a warning to every other person,
Speaker 4: soon you might commit similar offenses. Don't do this, he says.
Speaker 4: The problem can be solved or severely mitigated if we
Speaker 4: had the courage to identify and lock away people who
Speaker 4: cannot and should not live among people who follow societal rules. Instead,
Speaker 4: we tolerate in an unacceptable amount of violence crime in Mayhem.
Speaker 4: There should be no such thing as a bad neighborhood.
Speaker 4: I naively believe there's hope that one day our society
Speaker 4: tires of the fear and the killings and steps up
Speaker 4: to the plate and starts prosecuting people to the fullest
Speaker 4: extent of the law, rather than just giving them a
Speaker 4: free pass. You have to have deterrence, I mean the
Speaker 4: idea that you're going to be rehabilitated in prison. That
Speaker 4: used to be one of the tenets of the criminal
Speaker 4: justice system. I think we can all laugh at the
Speaker 4: reality of that. Basically, you're hanging out with other criminals
Speaker 4: and learning more criminal behavior, but in so far as
Speaker 4: a deterrence effect. You know, why have you personally not
Speaker 4: committed crime? Is it because of your religion, your morals,
Speaker 4: your ethics, or is it because you're afraid of going
Speaker 4: to jail. Maybe a combination of all the above. But
Speaker 4: fear of going to jail and getting a record has
Speaker 4: always kept me and my nose clean six twenty six
Speaker 4: fifty five care see detalk station. Maybe I need to
Speaker 4: get over to Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Exhale, relax, pray
Speaker 4: and meditate. So why not reflect at Gate of Heaven
Speaker 4: Catholic Cemetery. That's well, it's a great place for that,
Speaker 4: And of course to a loved one, you mean, you
Speaker 4: ever reading, it's a place if they're choosing that direction,
Speaker 4: you might want to consider it, most notably if you're Catholic.
Speaker 4: I'm not, by the way, but I still know it
Speaker 4: to be a beautiful place.
Speaker 1: It's right.
Speaker 4: It's very close to where I live, and I drive
Speaker 4: by Gate of Heaven every single day and it's just
Speaker 4: absolutely gorgeous. Tranquil landscape surroundings, so making it an ideal
Speaker 4: place for prayer, reflection, remembrance and appreciating life at every

Speaker 4: Prosecutor said he also falsified records related to his voting
Speaker 4: in an attempt to mislead county officials. He was convicted
Speaker 4: of arson and Hamilton County Common Police Court in nineteen

Speaker 4: the facts that didn't admit guilt. Since the one and

Speaker 4: had driven into.
Speaker 1: A pole, tree and home.
Speaker 4: According to the Sheriff's Department, deputies determined that seven Chevy
Speaker 4: and Paula was going westbound and West Chapel Road at
Speaker 4: a high rate of speed when it crested the hill
Speaker 4: went airborne. It landed, caused damage to the roadway, and
Speaker 4: then veered off the north side of the road, crossed

Speaker 4: continued into a grass area where it hit a tree
Speaker 4: and became airborne again before hitting the home on Westchapel Road.
Speaker 4: Emergency cruise erride they found a driver and the passenger dead.
Speaker 4: Deputies identified the driver as forty nine year old Robert
Speaker 4: William Leo Dunham of Oldenburg, passenger of fifty one year
Speaker 4: old Jesse Brummitt Junior of Sundon. Alcohol was found at
Speaker 4: the scene, but toxicology reports are still pending. Alcohol and
Speaker 4: access to speed were likely factors in the crash, according

Speaker 4: fix that situation, but you've got an import now. Of
Speaker 4: course it wasn't an imported car. I think that one
Speaker 4: was probably total too. But if you get your car
Speaker 4: fix and a traditionally imported manufactured car, get it to
Speaker 4: Foreign Exchange, then go to the west Chester location of
Speaker 4: Foreign Exchange with our imported cars and that's pretty much
Speaker 4: all we've ever bought.
Speaker 1: I'm just a fan.
Speaker 4: And of course, if I go to my dealer, my
Speaker 4: German car is gonna set me back a fortune for
Speaker 4: pretty much anything. If they just stare at it. It
Speaker 4: costs me like five hundred dollars. But over at Foreign Exchange,
Speaker 4: I've saved lots of money over the years. My wife
Speaker 4: also has a German car. My daughter has a Japanese
Speaker 4: traditionally manufactured car. It goes to Foreign Exchange and the Sun.
Speaker 4: Our son has the old Honda, it also gets the

Speaker 4: to take it up in there to anytime soon because
Speaker 4: the air conditioning's not working. They'll fix it, that's what
Speaker 4: they do, and they'll fix it for less money than
Speaker 4: the dealers. And that's what it's all about. Auto repairs
Speaker 4: have gotten so outrageously expensive. Yourself a favor, get the

Speaker 4: I think we're just going to go over to a
Speaker 4: friend's house and enjoy dinner with them. That's the extent
Speaker 4: of our Independence Day celebration. But that's the celebration. Nonetheless,
Speaker 4: we'll be off on Friday for Independence Day. And I
Speaker 4: do note in something unrelated to politics, although it could
Speaker 4: be connected to politics in some fashion. Maybe global warming
Speaker 4: has resulted in a reduction in the available cattle in
Speaker 4: the United States because of col flatulence or something. But
Speaker 4: if you haven't noticed, the price of beef is rather outrageously.
Speaker 4: It's about a record high going on right now. According
Speaker 4: to the American Farm Bureau Federation that tracks these kind
Speaker 4: of things. They estimate the retail price for two pounds
Speaker 4: of ground beef has jumped up to thirteen dollars and
Speaker 4: thirty three cents slash six dollars and sixty seven cents
Speaker 4: a pound, the highest price recorded by them since they
Speaker 4: started looking at these things about a decade plus ago,
Speaker 4: although apparently our demand for beef is not declining. According
Speaker 4: to the author of the survey with the American Farm Bureer,
Speaker 4: there cost to feed ten people cheeseburgers, chicken, other fixings,
Speaker 4: pork and beans, potato salad estimated to be an average
Speaker 4: of seventy dollars and ninety two cents this year, or
Speaker 4: seven dollars and nine cents of person, not including the
Speaker 4: cost of drinks or fireworks. While lowered last year by
Speaker 4: three cents, it's still nineteen percent higher than it was
Speaker 4: five years ago. Yuess inflation has most notably hit the
Speaker 4: food supply, there is no question about it. That's one
Speaker 4: things that I'm actually painfully aware of because I go
Speaker 4: shopping with my wife every weekend. Cattle inventories are at
Speaker 4: their lowest level in seventy five years, at According to
Speaker 4: the Agriculture Department, total cattle herd in the United States
Speaker 4: the lowest since nineteen point fifty one. They blame dry
Speaker 4: conditions across to Heartland in recent years, although the weather
Speaker 4: conditions have gotten much better. It's also reported cattle invatories
Speaker 4: have taken a hit from the spread of infestations of
Speaker 4: New World screwworm. Parasitic species of fly which causes myasis,
Speaker 4: lays its eggs and open wounds of any warm blooded animal.
Speaker 4: Fly larva then burrow into the wound, feeding as they go,
Speaker 4: like a screw being driven into wood. According to the
Speaker 4: USDA GEEZ. Thankfully, no case of screwworm infection has yet
Speaker 4: been reported in the United States, but it's working its
Speaker 4: way up from Panama to Mexico, which is one of
Speaker 4: the reasons why Agricultural Secretary Brook Rawins in May announced
Speaker 4: the suspension of cattle imports from Mexico along with other
Speaker 4: preventative measures in order to prevent the spread of screwworm
Speaker 4: here in the United States, which is another reason there's
Speaker 4: less beef available because Mexico apparently is a leading source
Speaker 4: of cattle imports to meet our demand for beef. Canada
Speaker 4: also serves to meet that demand as well. But the
Speaker 4: absence of Mexican feeder cattle apparently is exacerbating our low
Speaker 4: inventory problem we have in the United States, which is
Speaker 4: of course impacting the retail price of beef. But they
Speaker 4: are gradually rebuilt holding the herd here in the United States.
Speaker 4: It was a statement from JBS, which is described as
Speaker 4: almost a monopolistic meat packing giant, moved to rebuild underway,
Speaker 4: a company there warning the meaningful increases in beef's supply
Speaker 4: and any relief for you and me in terms of
Speaker 4: the record high retail prices of beef, it will not
Speaker 4: be showing up until at least twenty twenty seven, accorded
Speaker 4: to the CEO of JBS North America, guy named Wesley Bautista,
Speaker 4: FIHO Phil Hooe, we are into herd rebuild right now.
Speaker 4: The economic insenators are there, the weather is helping.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 4: Lowest level of beef out there in the United States
Speaker 4: since nineteen fifties, but there's they described the JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill,
Speaker 4: and National Beef control eighty percent of the beef processing
Speaker 4: in the United States. They're having anti trust hearings on
Speaker 4: Capitol Hill on the meatpacker quote unquote monopoly at least
Speaker 4: according to Senator Howley. So apparently the path to rebuilding
Speaker 4: the size of the herd starts with reviving regional microprocessing
Speaker 4: plants across the country, creating a more resilient, decentralized food
Speaker 4: supply chain that is less vulnerable to disruptions. In other words,
Speaker 4: skip the globalist mega supermarkets and instead support local ranchers directly,
Speaker 4: which is something that I think Robert F. Kennedy Junior
Speaker 4: would embrace. Conceptually. Family farms taken a heait, do what
Speaker 4: you can to support them. But I think it's going
Speaker 4: to take these monopolistic mega giants a lot of effort
Speaker 4: to rebuild the size of the herd before you and
Speaker 4: I are going to send me a relief at the
Speaker 4: grocery store. At least that's a conclusion that they have
Speaker 4: suggested six forty five right now for you five kc

Speaker 1: Happy Eat Tuesday. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Looking at an argument in the in the centate over
Speaker 4: this big beautiful bill. I hate that anyway. They're just
Speaker 4: arguing and bickering back and forth over all these various amendments.
Speaker 4: Remember it's reconciliation, so it's limited in the scope. So
Speaker 4: while Elon Musk wants to incorporate, you know a lot
Speaker 4: of discretionary spending changes and cut back on it. It's
Speaker 4: not part of the reconciliation process, but they could do
Speaker 4: something to cut and reduce the size and scope of government.
Speaker 4: I agree with him completely on that, and yeah, I
Speaker 4: think he's right the porky pig part of the uniparty
Speaker 4: of the United States of America. It's okay to overspend
Speaker 4: as long as it's something that's going to benefit you specifically.
Speaker 4: It's not a concept that you have on one side
Speaker 4: or the other. It's just is it going to impact
Speaker 4: my state? And if it is, then I don't want
Speaker 4: it or I refuse to change it. So they started
Speaker 4: voting on procedural motions yesterday late morning and it's been
Speaker 4: going on since then. As of this morning. Early Senator
Speaker 4: Ron Johnson described the bill as, in his words, still
Speaker 4: in flux. Yeah, heard at the top of the our news.
Speaker 4: Progress is a very elusive thing. I can't remember who
Speaker 4: was given credit for that one, but yeah. He ended
Speaker 4: up sitting down with Lisa Murkowski and they went into
Speaker 4: long discussions with her on the Centate floor. She's been
Speaker 4: seeking ways to shield Alaska from the Medicaid and snap
Speaker 4: cuts in the bill and also get a slower phase
Speaker 4: out of the clean energy tax credits. That was the
Speaker 4: Inflation Reduction Act, which is basically the Big Green Bill.
Speaker 4: All these energy tax credits going to programs that would
Speaker 4: not exist but for the fact that there's tax credits
Speaker 4: there to get them off the ground. Well, she's supposed
Speaker 4: to be a Republican and she comes from Alaska where
Speaker 4: they have an abundance of natural gas and oil, but
Speaker 4: she wants a slower phase out of the clean energy
Speaker 4: tax credits. They say, if she can't be moved, and
Speaker 4: she's joined by two other GOP opponents, which will be
Speaker 4: Rand Paul of course one of them. I think that
Speaker 4: there was a couple others who were like were suggesting no,
Speaker 4: ram Paul's been a hard no because of the dead
Speaker 4: ceiling increase.
Speaker 1: But they may.
Speaker 4: They may as a possible way to get Rampaul back
Speaker 4: on board is to get rid of that five trillion
Speaker 4: dollars debt ceiling increase, shrink or eliminate the debt increase
Speaker 4: in the bill, and you get Center to Rampaul on board.
Speaker 4: So that's one way of salvaging the thing. And I
Speaker 4: would have no problem with that, but various GOP factions
Speaker 4: are pushing the bill in their favorite direction, changes to Medicaid,
Speaker 4: food assistance program like snaps, tax cuts, centrists fighting the
Speaker 4: limit cuts the benefit programs, and potentially reel back changes
Speaker 4: to clean energy tax credits. Fiscal conservatives claiming the bill
Speaker 4: is a great, great opportunity to address the nation's rising debt,
Speaker 4: pushing for deeper spending cuts. See, the problem is inherent
Speaker 4: in the system, isn't it. You Republicans can't agree, Democrats
Speaker 4: can't agree. But the one thing you have absolutely four
Speaker 4: certain is Democrats are in full agreement that they're an absolute,
Speaker 4: outright no on this. So are you going to search
Speaker 4: for the perfect sacrifice the good for the sake of
Speaker 4: the perfect?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm sitting on the fence on this thing.
Speaker 4: I'm on the side of the fiscal conservatives. It's a
Speaker 4: great opportunity to well reduce these size and scope of spending.
Speaker 4: How is it that Republicans will be will be responsible
Speaker 4: for a bill that increases the hole that we've dug
Speaker 4: ourselves in. I mean, the one thing that they used
Speaker 4: to champion all the time was fiscal responsibility. The concept
Speaker 4: has been thrown out the door. It's like the greatest, best,
Speaker 4: brightest opportunity. The Republicans have had to bring about that
Speaker 4: reality a sane spending package, and a lot of them
Speaker 4: refuse to budge on these various issues. Tom Tillis is
Speaker 4: the other absolute firm no one. He's not even gonna
Speaker 4: run for re election. Donald Trump promised the primary him.
Speaker 4: So when Tillos came out in opposition to it because
Speaker 4: of the Medicaid cuts and his concern over rural hospital
Speaker 4: in North Carolina, He's a firm no on the bill period,
Speaker 4: end of story. So how do you placate both wings
Speaker 4: of the party simultaneously. Do you think this thing actually
Speaker 4: has a chance to pass at this juncture? I'm getting Uh,
Speaker 4: I'm skeptical at this point, I really am. And then
Speaker 4: what does the House do with it? I mean, the
Speaker 4: process isn't over if the Senec go's out and passes
Speaker 4: it today.
Speaker 1: Crazy.
Speaker 4: I wish we could all agree on one thing, that
Speaker 4: we have a serious spending problem in this country. Six
Speaker 4: fifty five fifty five krc DE talk station. A little
Speaker 4: more of top before we get to the next governor
Speaker 4: of the State of Ohio, Vic Ramaswam. He joins a
Speaker 4: program at seven thirty. We'll here get his thoughts and
Speaker 4: ideas for the future of the state of Ohio that'll
Speaker 4: take place in the next hour. I hope you can
Speaker 4: stick around.
Speaker 1: Big things are happening, breaking news happening. Now we'll tell
Speaker 1: you more at the top of the hour. Is too
Speaker 1: aggressive and over the top. Fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1: This report.
Speaker 4: Seven oh six Here after five kros DE Talk station
Speaker 4: by the Timas fishing everyone.
Speaker 1: Hey, very very happy Tuesday.
Speaker 4: Looking forward the bottom of this hour, the Vake Ramaswami
Speaker 4: returns the next governed of the State of Ohio. We
Speaker 4: got quite a few topics who over with mister Ramaswami
Speaker 4: and I'm looking forward to it. Fast forward one hour
Speaker 4: the Inside Scoop with Breit barton News, the return of
Speaker 4: Bradley J. The Bright bart Deputy news director and former
Speaker 4: Capitol Hill staffer, who will talk about these still being discussed,
Speaker 4: big beautiful Bill. Senators can't get aligned, at least on
Speaker 4: the Republicans side of the ledger, again pointing out what
Speaker 4: I pointed out in the last segment, stayed in the obvious.
Speaker 1: All the Democrats are completely against it.
Speaker 4: It's easy for them to just say no, and the
Speaker 4: Republicans are having problems with the in fighting, so I
Speaker 4: want to cut more. Others want to keep their own turf.
Speaker 4: Daniel Davis Deep Dive. We'll hear from Daniel Davis about
Speaker 4: the Well apparently devolving city at least in so far
Speaker 4: as Ukraine is concerned. Russia invading more, taking over more land,
Speaker 4: putting more troops there. If you look at the map
Speaker 4: of the amount of territory Russia is now controlling, keeps
Speaker 4: getting bigger and apparently they outnumber of the Ukrainian troops
Speaker 4: three to one. And will also get an update on
Speaker 4: Iran in Israel. Ask the expert. Fast forward to eight
Speaker 4: fifty with my friends from OHC. The cancer specialist's got
Speaker 4: some new cancer treatments to talk about with them and
Speaker 4: talk with you.
Speaker 1: I always love to hear from listeners.
Speaker 4: If you want to give me a call five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 4: nine fifty five, eight hundred and eight two three talk
Speaker 4: pound five fifty on AT and T phones. You got
Speaker 4: to make it through Joe Strecker, though, Executive producer, Internet
Speaker 4: Research Guru. All Ron, great guy, and call Streener right, Joe.
Speaker 4: Don't be a jerk or you'll get on the band list.
Speaker 4: Just got one of those band lists. Uh, let us
Speaker 4: see here talking about you know, since they're haggling over
Speaker 4: the side and scope of this this this bill in
Speaker 4: the Senate right now, and going back to one of
Speaker 4: the problems with are going to Senator Ram Paul, for example,
Speaker 4: increasing the debt ceilings five trillion dollars. That's part of it,
Speaker 4: and that's why he's going to be an absolute no
Speaker 4: on it. Maybe they'll get rid of that clause. I
Speaker 4: don't know what the reality is impractical and otherwise might
Speaker 4: be if they do. But five trillion dollars that's a
Speaker 4: lot of additional debt and we can't afford it. And
Speaker 4: Republicans shouldn't be responsible for increasing the size of the
Speaker 4: national debt. But part of the problem we face are
Speaker 4: the ridiculous size of these programs and the fact that
Speaker 4: it is virtually impossible to track out, to track and
Speaker 4: trace all the fraud, waste, and abuse. I give props
Speaker 4: to Elon Musk. I think he said some important things
Speaker 4: the other day about it. I think it was important
Speaker 4: what Doge did and when looking at you know, the
Speaker 4: entities like USA, they applied their artificial intelligence and a
Speaker 4: bunch of smart kids with computers to you know, go
Speaker 4: through all all the records and find out where all
Speaker 4: the money was going. That's using technology to our advantage.
Speaker 4: And apparently the Department of Justice got on board with this.
Speaker 4: They just announced and here's an illustration of it. It's insane.
Speaker 4: Three hundred defendants, actually more than three hundred, have been
Speaker 4: charged with ripping you and I off healthcare bills. DJA
Speaker 4: Criminal Division Chief Matthew Galliotti said the defendants attempted to
Speaker 4: swindle Medicare and other tax pay had funded and private
Speaker 4: health insurance programs out of fourteen point six billion, with
Speaker 4: a bee described as the largest coordinated health care fraud
Speaker 4: takedown in the history of the Department of Justice. You know,
Speaker 4: and this is I'm gonna draw analogy on this. It's
Speaker 4: like they found, you know, a guy coming across the
Speaker 4: southern border and he had fifteen pounds of fenl Oh,
Speaker 4: my god, is a massive haul. How much fentanyl got
Speaker 4: through that they didn't confiscate. And I'm pleased that the
Speaker 4: DOJ has charged these more than three hundred defendants, considering
Speaker 4: fourteen point six billion dollars in fraud here, But how
Speaker 4: much is still out there?
Speaker 1: Will we ever know?
Speaker 4: DOJ said twenty nine of the defendan's charge with a
Speaker 4: lleged involvement with transnational criminal organization. So this is beyond
Speaker 4: the scope of the United States. There's another seventy four defendants,
Speaker 4: forty four licensed medical professionals charge across fifty eight cases
Speaker 4: with allegedly illegally distributing fifteen million prescription pill opioids and
Speaker 4: other controlled substances as or by way of illustration five
Speaker 4: and I'm Brian on Fox News reporting on this. Five
Speaker 4: of the defendants at a AS in singular Texas Pharmacy
Speaker 4: are accused of unlawfully distributing more than three million opioid pills,
Speaker 4: including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and carisprit, all that were later trapped
Speaker 4: by drug dealers on the streets. One single pharmacy. You
Speaker 4: would think that they wouldn't just reasonably stick out like
Speaker 4: a sore thumb. Wait a minute, we got an outlier
Speaker 4: in Texas. We woudn't want to look into that forty
Speaker 4: nine defendants charge was submitting over one point seven or
Speaker 4: one point one seven billion in alleged fraudulent claims to
Speaker 4: medicare one hundred and seventy defendants charged with various other
Speaker 4: fraudulent screams amounting to one point eighty four billion in
Speaker 4: claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies for diagnostic testing,
Speaker 4: medical visits, and unnecessary treatments, sometimes for kickbacks and bribes.
Speaker 1: This is sick.
Speaker 4: One set of charges, an indictment against three defendants in Arizona,
Speaker 4: conspired to purchase and give elderly Medicare recipients skin grafts,
Speaker 4: something they call amniotic wound alografts, being millions of dollars.
Speaker 4: One of the defenders that described as a nurse practitioner,
Speaker 4: applied the graphs to patients even though they were medically
Speaker 4: unreasonable and unnecessary. Then aurse allegedly applied them to terminally
Speaker 4: ill patients in hospice, including some who were days away
Speaker 4: from dying. I just submit a claim. I did the procedure, Galleoti,
Speaker 4: the YUS attorney. The conduct is exactly as colson deserving
Speaker 4: as it sounds. Patients and their families trusted these providers
Speaker 4: with their lives. Instead of receiving care, they became victims
Speaker 4: of an elaborate criminal scheme. And here's the problem with
Speaker 4: medicine generally speaking. One DOJ official speaking with Fox News
Speaker 4: to the skin graphs called an emerging area of health
Speaker 4: care fraud quote, especially given the significant amount of money
Speaker 4: they can build for something, sometimes in excess of one
Speaker 4: thousand dollars a square centimeter skin craft. They say the
Speaker 4: healthcare frauds span the country and the globe. FBI officials
Speaker 4: said in the press conference one scheme called Operation gold Rush,
Speaker 4: resulting at least twenty members of a transnational criminal organization,
Speaker 4: including defendants based in Russia, being charged as part of
Speaker 4: a ten billion with a B dollar medicare and money
Speaker 4: laundering operation that's centered on catheters. They use foreign straw
Speaker 4: owners to secretly buy dozens of medical supply companies before
Speaker 4: using stolen identities and confidential health data to create and
Speaker 4: file a false ten point six billion dollars in claims
Speaker 4: with Medicare. Nineteen defendants arrested for their involvement in that scheme.
Speaker 4: Twelve have been arrested for apprehendi in Estonia they were
Speaker 4: cooperating with US the Estonian law enforcement folks. Doctor memmont Oz,
Speaker 4: administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is
Speaker 4: pleading for our help out here in the real world.
Speaker 4: We need your help, the American people. Over half the
Speaker 4: whistleblower tips that we get are for health care fraud,
Speaker 4: and over half the fraud against our government is in healthcare.
Speaker 1: And that's you.
Speaker 4: That is fraud against you. That's fraud against the American
Speaker 4: tax payer. And maybe, just maybe one of the reasons
Speaker 4: the size and the scope of these programs is so
Speaker 4: absolutely bloated. I guess I just have to wonder how
Speaker 4: long these investigations have been going. I know it takes
Speaker 4: a long time to research these things. Hell, we had
Speaker 4: to work with the Estonians. I'm glad they announced the arrests.
Speaker 4: I hope they get convictions, and I hope it serves
Speaker 4: as a warning shot to anybody else. But it is
Speaker 4: illustrative of the problem with massive government programs. I got
Speaker 4: a separate artic here of an article here about the
Speaker 4: COVID tax credit fraud SKI that was ninety three million dollars,
Speaker 4: described by the FBA as the largest ever identified in
Speaker 4: terms of fraud schemes. I guess within this one program,
Speaker 4: in an ever shrieking world with internet access, ah, look,
Speaker 4: the Estonians can get involved in the ripoff of the
Speaker 4: American people seven to fifteen right now fifty five krs
Speaker 4: the talk station. Speaking of medical services, how about affordable
Speaker 4: medical services? Well, by contrast to the American hospital system,
Speaker 4: where if you go to the imaging department at the hospital,
Speaker 4: which is where your doctor's going to recommend you go,
Speaker 4: notably because the hospital probably owns your doctor's practice, they
Speaker 4: make fat fat fat bank at the hospital imaging department.
Speaker 4: And I know it's fat bank because I know Affordable
Speaker 4: Imaging Services where I've had CT scans and MRI, I
Speaker 4: know what I paid. I know the images were fine.
Speaker 4: The Board Certified radiologist report was fined, at least in
Speaker 4: the eyes of my doctors that have reviewed them. They
Speaker 4: have the same type of equipment hospitals use. And you
Speaker 4: know what, Affordable Image Services is still making a profit.
Speaker 4: They are a going concern. So they don't charge thirty
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars for an echo cardiogram like they do
Speaker 4: at the hospital. It's only five hundred with no enhancement,
Speaker 4: eight hundred with an enhancement. Don't pay five grand for
Speaker 4: a CT scan at the hospital. Affordable Imaging Services will
Speaker 4: do a CT scan for four point fifty without a contrast,
Speaker 4: six hundred with a contrast interesting the comprice comparison, isn't it?
Speaker 4: And you do have a choice when it comes to
Speaker 4: your medical carry you and wherever you want so save
Speaker 4: heap loads of money. Five one three seven five three
Speaker 4: eight thousand, five one three seven five three eight thousand.
Speaker 4: The website where you can see the prices for the ultrasounds,
Speaker 4: the ct scans, the MRIs, the echo cardiograms and learn more.
Speaker 4: It's Affordable Medimaging dot com.
Speaker 10: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 4: about traffic editions from Chuck Ingram from the.
Speaker 11: UCL Traffic Center, the University of STINCINNTI Cancer Center, that's

Speaker 4: five fifty on eight and T phones. I always enjoy
Speaker 4: hearing from former Anderson Township trustee Andrew Pappas. There he is, Drew,
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the morning show. Good to hear from
Speaker 4: you today.
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, good morning. It's on your mind. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 6: I saw, I saw ahead. I woke up this morning. Uh,
Speaker 6: and I saw the headline another shooting. But I spoke
Speaker 6: with Joe when I called in there was actually five shooting, Yes, Joe, Joe,
Speaker 6: Joe apprised me of and I got it. I'm asking
Speaker 6: a very serious question. This is not a political I'm
Speaker 6: gonna try for a moment to be a political for
Speaker 6: a second. I gotta ask you a question. I'm not
Speaker 6: a very smart person. You've talked to me. You know
Speaker 6: that that's true. What where is the mayor? I mean,
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm being totally serious here.
Speaker 1: It's a legitimate question.
Speaker 6: Where is the mayor? Now listen, say what you want
Speaker 6: and I'm and I'm not defending nor would anybody you know.
Speaker 6: Remember Jeffrey Pastor. How did Jeffrey Pastor? How did he
Speaker 6: rise so quickly and prominently, uh, to be then in
Speaker 6: the position where unfortunately he he you know, did some
Speaker 6: stuff that you know, he took some money, apparently allegedly.
Speaker 1: Let us let us down, right, he let us down.
Speaker 6: But how did he rise to such prominence? Because Jeffrey
Speaker 6: Pastor was genuinely and legitimately concerned about violence in the
Speaker 6: city of Cincinnati and went out on the streets with
Speaker 6: the people, with people wanting to stop the violence. Now,
Speaker 6: in no way, shape or form am I advocating for
Speaker 6: a return of Jeffrey Pastor. But what I am saying
Speaker 6: that showed leadership in that particular instance, and that's why
Speaker 6: people gathered around him. My question to you is where
Speaker 6: is Astab? I mean, ASTAB can show up to every
Speaker 6: no King's rally that's around within driving distance. Are Astabs
Speaker 6: happy to show up to that? And if there's some
Speaker 6: you know, uh base of his having a parade, astabs
Speaker 6: happy to show up to that because that's easy. But
Speaker 6: these are these tough decisions. Public safety is the fundamental
Speaker 6: core function of government, and I just don't understand. You know,
Speaker 6: I'm not blaming the violence on the mayor. However, where
Speaker 6: is the mayor showing any leadership on this issue? It's
Speaker 6: the mayor seems the mayor seems to be to me,
Speaker 6: to a to a very you know, just to a
Speaker 6: to a to a Johndice eye. The mayor seems to
Speaker 6: be always looking to the next level. Where is he
Speaker 6: going from here? He doesn't seem to be overly concerned about.
Speaker 1: This position or this job.
Speaker 6: He's looking down the road. How can I parlay this
Speaker 6: into something bigger and better for me? Well, you know what,
Speaker 6: how about giving a almost got belief there, how about
Speaker 6: giving a damn about the current position you have. You
Speaker 6: are you ran for mayor of the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 6: That entails responsibilities to ensure or at least try to
Speaker 6: ensure public safety. You're core function. We have last night
Speaker 6: not even the height of the summer yet maybe you
Speaker 6: know we're coming up on it. Fourth of July is
Speaker 6: obviously this this week, but there's still a lot of hot,
Speaker 6: steamy nights left here in Cincinnati. And we had five
Speaker 6: shootings and I don't see the mayor having and when
Speaker 6: you know the other thing of our I heard the
Speaker 6: other day he had a press conference. You took no questions.
Speaker 6: That's not really a press conference. That's just issuing a statement.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's issuing a statement.
Speaker 6: That's that's that's a that's a Joe Biden. That that
Speaker 6: even makes Joe Biden look competent that type of press conference.
Speaker 6: So I'm I'm wondering when people, when the good people
Speaker 6: of Cincinnati that can vote in the city that does
Speaker 6: not include me. I'm in wonderful, safe, beautiful Anderson Township
Speaker 6: led by good conservative Republicans that put public safety first.
Speaker 6: I'm wondering when is the mayor going to give a
Speaker 6: damn about what's happening in his city that he wanted
Speaker 6: to run for. And I'm wondering when the good people
Speaker 6: of Cincinnati are going to stand up and say, you
Speaker 6: know what, I might be a social liberal and I
Speaker 6: might be in favor of these liberal causes. If you know,
Speaker 6: it's hard to enjoy anything when you don't have life.
Speaker 6: It's the first thing life, liberty.
Speaker 7: Pursuit of happens.
Speaker 6: And yet I see no cut. And then they will say,
Speaker 6: maybe we should go in a different direction because what
Speaker 6: you are doing is not working. So you know, I
Speaker 6: hate to say this, but elections do have consequences. You
Speaker 6: elected people that have other priorities. And this is I'm
Speaker 6: not saying the violence is his fault, but his response
Speaker 6: to the violence seems to be at least just a
Speaker 6: casual observer from outside the city limits, seems to be
Speaker 6: remarkably anemic.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 4: Part of me wants to believe and you know, even
Speaker 4: if you if you just discount the idea that he's
Speaker 4: moving on to some higher political office and that's what
Speaker 4: his motivation are. But he doesn't want to acknowledge the violence.
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to address it because it's not good
Speaker 4: marketing for the city of Cincinnati. I mean, they're busily
Speaker 4: trying to get people to move into the city. That
Speaker 4: was the point of rehabbing over the Rhine, so the
Speaker 4: urban hipsters would move in and provide them with more
Speaker 4: tax money. You needed working people who were paying taxes
Speaker 4: to support all the city services. And more and more
Speaker 4: people are fleeing the city of Cincinnati for the reasons
Speaker 4: you're talking about. It's dangerous. But to have him go
Speaker 4: out and project and talk about addressing violence in the
Speaker 4: street would of course acknowledge that there's actually a problem
Speaker 4: with violence on the street. That's just my guess, But
Speaker 4: it's easier to ignore it.
Speaker 6: Part of Brian, part of being a leader, and part
Speaker 6: of running to be a leader, is you have to
Speaker 6: be ready to tackle the heart issues.
Speaker 1: Not everything is ribbon cutting.
Speaker 6: Not everything is a parade where you wave and say
Speaker 6: look at how great I am into your base, and
Speaker 6: then you don't take questions at a press conference. For
Speaker 6: God's sake, that's hard at being a leader. Yeah, if
Speaker 6: we're going to elect cheerleaders to run our government, if
Speaker 6: we're going to elect people that just simply say raw
Speaker 6: raw for our side, and not make any hard decisions.
Speaker 6: Then we're doomed to failure.
Speaker 4: Well, can't you just step back and sort of casually
Speaker 4: observe objectively that the city really has set itself up
Speaker 4: for failure with forty plus years of complete Democrat control
Speaker 4: of everything, the policies and otherwise the budgets and mass pensions, underfunded,
Speaker 4: police are understaffed. I mean, we could go on and
Speaker 4: on the roads or.
Speaker 6: Falling apart, on and on, and you know, I don't
Speaker 6: think there's a big surprise that the correlation and the
Speaker 6: uptick and violence and the correlation to the number of
Speaker 6: Democrat judges elected seem to go hand in hand. Well,
Speaker 6: you've like sending thing with soft on crime, with this
Speaker 6: anti police bias that they display openly in their courtrooms.
Speaker 6: I you know, I don't think there's any surprise. I
Speaker 6: don't think there's any you know, I don't think that's
Speaker 6: just a coincidence. I think it's a correlation'.
Speaker 4: You're exactly right. That's the pillar of the justice system
Speaker 4: is punishment. It's a deterrence to other people who would
Speaker 4: commit crimes. They say that constantly. When you've got judges
Speaker 4: who refuse to hand down sentences refuse. They let people
Speaker 4: that are violent and then in a threat to the
Speaker 4: community out on no bail. They remain a threat to society.
Speaker 4: The word gets around there is gonna be no consequence
Speaker 4: for crime in this city thanks to the liberal.
Speaker 1: Judges that we've got on the bench. Period.
Speaker 4: And then the police don't want to do their job
Speaker 4: because it's a waste of their time. Why would I
Speaker 4: arrest them for a curfew violation if they're not even
Speaker 4: gonna take them in period. There's just a juvenile center
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 1: They will do it.
Speaker 4: So what's the point. And you get gangs of teenagers
Speaker 4: roam in the street, committing acts of violence and suffering
Speaker 4: no consequences. It's a vicious cycle. It only gets worse.
Speaker 4: But to your point on the mayor, you're right, his
Speaker 4: silence is absolutely deafening. Hear what Christopher Smitheman had to
Speaker 4: say just yesterday on that very topic.
Speaker 1: I appreciate Smitherman.
Speaker 6: I will say this publicly, Christopher Smitherman right now, if
Speaker 6: he was mayor of this is Cincinnati, I think Christopher
Speaker 6: Smitherman would stay be marching out in the in the
Speaker 6: streets with pastors and community leaders trying to stop to
Speaker 6: this and trying to get a handle on it, rather
Speaker 6: than sitting in a press conference, not taking questions, and
Speaker 6: then showing up for just you know, very very friendly
Speaker 6: events where he's a hero for self adulation because for
Speaker 6: some reason he desires and needs that self adulation. Good. Questionably,
Speaker 6: Christopher Smitherman is a confident leader and is leading.
Speaker 7: And that's what he does.
Speaker 4: Unquestionably, you are right, Drill always appreciate hearing from me.
Speaker 4: I appreciate your passion to my friend seven twenty eight

Speaker 4: a real pleasure to have VvE eight Ramaswami on the program.
Speaker 4: Welcome back, my friend.
Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
Speaker 4: I'm doing great, man, and I am excited as hell
Speaker 4: about your campaign. I cannot wait to vote for you.
Speaker 4: I have been blessed with the opportunity here. You speak
Speaker 4: multiple times. You and I have had conversations on the
Speaker 4: morning show. We see eye to eye on all the
Speaker 4: important issues. And you know, I got to compliment you now.
Speaker 4: Your background is just absolutely perfect. You're brilliant graduate valedictorian
Speaker 4: from Saint Xavier High School. Here in a city of
Speaker 4: Cincinnati native son some of cum Lottie graduate in biology
Speaker 4: from Harvard, j d from Yale Law School. You started
Speaker 4: your own biotech company, oversaw the development of five drugs.
Speaker 4: You went on to become FBA approved that Roy Van Sciences.
Speaker 4: You've written books, I mean, and you outkicked your coverage
Speaker 4: in marriage. You are demonstrably an awesome candidate. My friend
Speaker 4: and I cannot wait to get you elected. The campaign's
Speaker 4: going well. You got a record fundraising going on right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at KB is going great.
Speaker 3: We've never seen unity like this across our state, right
Speaker 3: and I think that that's one of the things that
Speaker 3: strengthens us. Usually in a Republican primary season like this,
Speaker 3: there'd be a knife fight amongst people who agree with
Speaker 3: each other on ninety percent of things and attack each other. Anyway,
Speaker 3: we're skipping that this time, and we don't have to
Speaker 3: go through that phase of the attack phase of the process.
Speaker 3: We're united and had to say that. Our party, our movement,
Speaker 3: and I hope our state more broadly is united around
Speaker 3: common sense, economic excellence, educational excellence in this state. And
Speaker 3: one of the things I've noticed from traveling this state
Speaker 3: is we've been to over sixty plus counties of the
Speaker 3: eighty eight in the last several months. I don't care
Speaker 3: whether people are even calling themselves democratic, dependent, libertarian, politically homeless,
Speaker 3: or Republican for that matter.
Speaker 7: I think that most people in our.
Speaker 3: State are united around elevating our educational achievement standards in
Speaker 3: our schools, so many of which have underperformed, and also
Speaker 3: elevated around reducing the tax and regulatory burden in this
Speaker 3: state so that we become the state that lead the
Speaker 3: next industrial revolution, just like we led the first one.
Speaker 3: And so to me, right now, this is not about
Speaker 3: left versus right. It's about up versus down. We're choosing
Speaker 3: up for the state of Ohio, and I want us
Speaker 3: to be the state that leads America back to greatness,
Speaker 3: not just Texas or Flora. We're done with living in
Speaker 3: their shadow and we're now ready to leave the way ourselves.
Speaker 4: Amen to that, and I think a step in the
Speaker 4: right direction. At least one of the elements in the
Speaker 4: budget just Dwine, just as signed, was the flat two
Speaker 4: point seventy five percent tax income tax. Are you a
Speaker 4: visionary in the sense you want to get rid of
Speaker 4: the income tax here in Ohio and make us more
Speaker 4: marketable when we have to compete with states like Texas
Speaker 4: and Florida.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I do think that we have a depopulation issue
Speaker 3: we're going to address in the state. Especially a lot
Speaker 3: of our younger age workers are the ones who tend
Speaker 3: to leave the state, and we have more Americans leaving
Speaker 3: our state than we have moving in. We're going to
Speaker 3: turn that ship around by making Ohio the most attractive
Speaker 3: state in the country to raise a young family, to
Speaker 3: grow a business, and yes, to generate wealth and to
Speaker 3: keep that wealth.
Speaker 1: It's your money, not the government.
Speaker 3: And if eight other states have managed to get to
Speaker 3: zero income tax, you know what the state to put
Speaker 3: a man in the moon and configure this one out.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of the legislature. It was a great step
Speaker 3: that we took in the right direction. Now get into
Speaker 3: a simpler, flat taxation system at the state level.
Speaker 7: But I want us to be a state that is
Speaker 7: a zero intertax.
Speaker 5: Draw that includes mean a zero capital game taxation of state.
Speaker 5: In fact, that one of the only steps we can
Speaker 5: take to get there. In New Hampshire, these are still
Speaker 5: nominally zero intertax states and they'll still tax the capital pays. Conversely,
Speaker 5: I want to hire a magnet to capital in leading
Speaker 5: in the sectors of.
Speaker 3: The future, from nuclear energy to biotech. And these are
Speaker 3: areas where I not only want to catch up to
Speaker 3: some of these other states, I want to lead and
Speaker 3: be a magnet for the top talent and capital around
Speaker 3: the country.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 4: And one of the things we talked about that I
Speaker 4: think would encourage and help along those lines is energy
Speaker 4: production here in the state of Ohio and moving over
Speaker 4: and embracing the small modular nuclear reactors and sort of
Speaker 4: being the the the the go to state for efficient
Speaker 4: power generation and.
Speaker 1: You know, affordable power.
Speaker 4: If we if we embrace that and provide an abundance
Speaker 4: of power, I mean, we could sell off that power
Speaker 4: to other states who are going the opposite direction.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and right now, I just want to be sober
Speaker 3: about where we are with the AI data centers and
Speaker 3: other hyperscalers come into the state. That's while it's an opportunity,
Speaker 3: it is also a major source of added demand on
Speaker 3: our electric grid. And right now AEP is forecasting rotating
Speaker 3: blackouts in the state of Ohio in the summer of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven. That's unacceptable, I mean unacceptable in America.
Speaker 3: But you're seeing it in California, it's certainly the whole.
Speaker 3: In our state of Ohio, we're going to turn that
Speaker 3: ship around.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 3: Good news is the get the energy out underneath our
Speaker 3: ground to start with and use it. That's natural gas
Speaker 3: in the near term where we're incredibly wealthy and natural gas,
Speaker 3: we just have to cut the red tape to be
Speaker 3: able to use it. And then you hit the nail
Speaker 3: on the head and the medium term after that, I
Speaker 3: want to lead Ohio to be the top state in
Speaker 3: the country to embrace and really innovate in the area
Speaker 3: of small modular nuclear reactors, which is a far safer
Speaker 3: new generation, incredibly safe, new generation of technology that's quickly built,
Speaker 3: that's scalable, and that really leads us to our future
Speaker 3: not just for the next four years but the next
Speaker 3: four hundred, and has energy abundance that's accessible, that's affordable.
Speaker 1: Cheap, reliable for all ohiolands.
Speaker 7: As I believe is the proper expectation of every.
Speaker 3: Person who grows up in Ohio to live in the
Speaker 3: first world and be at the leading edge rather than
Speaker 3: playing catch up with energy shortages.
Speaker 4: As Governor of State of Ohio, you enjoy the line
Speaker 4: item veto and I have to ask this. I know
Speaker 4: it's a minor point, and even though it is six
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars, but one of the items that was
Speaker 4: not cut from the Dwine budget that was just signed
Speaker 4: six hundred million dollars for the Cleveland Browns New Dome Stadium.
Speaker 4: I find that as a taxpayer offensive. Sir, I'd like
Speaker 4: your reaction on the idea that the Ohio taxpayers should
Speaker 4: be funding a privately owned sports team and stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, I mean I've been clear with our friends of
Speaker 3: the legislature and also out of respect to Governor to Wine,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go one by one through his
Speaker 3: line out of Veto's. A lot of those just came
Speaker 3: in even overnight, and so that's fresh news this morning.
Speaker 3: What I will say is this, I want to run
Speaker 3: things in our state a little differently than the way
Speaker 3: even other states run and even some of the ways
Speaker 3: our state has run historically. With the job of a governor,
Speaker 3: I believe is to lead and set the achaine. So
Speaker 3: you want to get a deal done, go do that deal,
Speaker 3: then the best interests of the taxpayers of this state
Speaker 3: in mind, and then.
Speaker 7: Work with the legislators on the front end.
Speaker 3: To ratify that deal, rather than playing this game of
Speaker 3: you know, the legislature.
Speaker 7: A lot of great people in the legislature, by the way.
Speaker 3: But each of whom are shepherding their own proposals not
Speaker 3: knowing whether or not the governor is going to sign it.
Speaker 3: That's the way most states are run. To be honest
Speaker 3: with you, we're going to change that. I don't think
Speaker 3: that that's functional to be able to drive an actual
Speaker 3: bold agenda. And to the stadium issue, it's going to
Speaker 3: come up time and again. And my view is that
Speaker 3: the job of the governor and the job of selected
Speaker 3: officials of the state is to ask what gets the
Speaker 3: best deal for Ohio residents and to me, if you
Speaker 3: want to think about smart deals that get local skin
Speaker 3: in the game, that get greater skin in the game
Speaker 3: for private investors, that's the job of a governor, and
Speaker 3: then you go to the legislature to ratify it, rather
Speaker 3: than the game of legislators pushing one proposal, no idea,
Speaker 3: whether the governor is going to line at them vit
Speaker 3: to it in certain cases versus others. We're going to
Speaker 3: move to a new phase of unified leadership in the
Speaker 3: state through open communication that includes at the state and
Speaker 3: local level.
Speaker 7: Frankly at the local level. You know, in a lot
Speaker 7: of these projects, I think there.
Speaker 1: Should be greater local games.
Speaker 3: The local municipality is going to derive the benefit, then
Speaker 3: it would stand to reason that the local community that's
Speaker 3: going to benefit the most is also investing in a
Speaker 3: project that's supposed to benefit them. If a local municipality
Speaker 3: or a local county doesn't want to advanced, to raise
Speaker 3: questions about how big those proposed economic benefits really are.
Speaker 3: So I would say that without reference to any specific project,
Speaker 3: but about the principles that I would bring in the
Speaker 3: future is skinning the game for everybody, smart deals for
Speaker 3: the state, and then take a leadership approach round the
Speaker 3: front end. You're meeting with the legislative leaders and you're
Speaker 3: going in with a one team mentality. Especially with Republican
Speaker 3: majorities across the board. There's really no reason not to
Speaker 3: run the state that way. And you know, I want
Speaker 3: to give give credit re press. We're a great state,
Speaker 3: We're one of the best in the Midwest. I just
Speaker 3: don't want to lead us to be one of the
Speaker 3: best in the Midwest alone. I want to lead us
Speaker 3: out to be the top state in the country, and
Speaker 3: I think that's going to require moving forward with more
Speaker 3: of a forward leading, strong one Ohio leadership in how
Speaker 3: we work with our partners in the legislature and also
Speaker 3: how we work with local governments and the other statewide
Speaker 3: elected officials. We're done operating in silos. I'm ready to
Speaker 3: lead this state with a one Ohio.
Speaker 7: Mentality, and I think that's going to make us stronger.
Speaker 4: Vag Ramaswami real quickly here, would you, as governor of
Speaker 4: the state of Ohio, we have a problem with fraud,
Speaker 4: wasted abuse, like every all government programs, but I understand
Speaker 4: we have a pronounced problem with Medicaid fraud. Would you
Speaker 4: at least embrace the concept of going after fraud, waste
Speaker 4: and abuse in these various government programs aggressively to save
Speaker 4: the Ohio taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Bran, I mean, it's just common sense. Really Again,
Speaker 3: that isn't about left versus right. It's about saving all
Speaker 3: our taxpayer dollars. The fact of the matter is there's
Speaker 3: now evidence. You have great legislators like Jennifer Gross and
Speaker 3: others who have uncovered work showing that there are Ohio
Speaker 3: directed Medicaid dollars flowing to recipients in other states. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that doesn't make any sense. And the fact of the
Speaker 3: matter is Ohio deserves better than that. So I think
Speaker 3: we deserve leaders who are willing to confront the reality
Speaker 3: that many of our taxpayer dollars do go to waste.
Speaker 3: But the way we're going to do it is in
Speaker 3: some theoretical academic exces size. It's all part of the
Speaker 3: project to put more money in the pockets of Ohioans.
Speaker 3: I think Ohioans deserve We're hardworking people, deserve to keep
Speaker 3: what they are, deserve to.
Speaker 13: Bear a lower property tax burden.
Speaker 1: Remember, it is your land, not the governments.
Speaker 3: Property taxes have gotten insanely high in this state. And
Speaker 3: instead of asking, you know, what benefit needs to be
Speaker 3: cut versus not for those property taxes to come down,
Speaker 3: let's actually start with a much easier question of where's
Speaker 3: just the waste, where's just the abuse in some cases,
Speaker 3: where's the outright fraud? And I think Ohioans deserve to
Speaker 3: pay lower property taxes. I think Ohioans deserve to get
Speaker 3: to a zero income tax state, as eight other states
Speaker 3: have gotten to. That's where I'm going to lead us.
Speaker 3: Combine that with lifting up our educational achievement standards and
Speaker 3: we're going to have a renaissance in this state of
Speaker 3: a kind that we have not seen since the First
Speaker 3: Industrial Revolution. That's where I want to lead Ohio. And
Speaker 3: I can tell you, Brian in about eighteen months excited
Speaker 3: to get you are, and.
Speaker 4: We're here to help you. Vivek Ramaswami find him online,

Speaker 4: Coming up on seven fifty two at fifty five kr
Speaker 4: SE Talk station. I'm always impressed by b Big. He's
Speaker 4: such an uplifting guy. Do you hear any division in
Speaker 4: his conversation, he's talking about unifying all the highlands, trying
Speaker 4: to make things better for everybody and these and what
Speaker 4: he stands for would and will I mean a positive
Speaker 4: attitude of vision for the future of Ohio, one where
Speaker 4: we are an outlier in terms of being the best.
Speaker 4: I just I just can't help but be impressed by him,
Speaker 4: and apparently a lot of people are. He's already got
Speaker 4: eight point five million dollars in the bank for his campaign,
Speaker 4: and that's just in four months, and he's gotten every
Speaker 4: single endorsement you can hope for. I think it's one
Speaker 4: of the reasons some of the other candidates just basically
Speaker 4: gave up and dropped out. I'm not gonna bother with
Speaker 4: the primary on that guy demonstrably brilliant, and you know
Speaker 4: someone who's willing to go to back like Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: You say you want about Trump? Did he need that job?
Speaker 4: He's worth all, however much money he's actually worth. I
Speaker 4: know what he says, and I know what reality might
Speaker 4: be maybe different things, but you know, I didn't need
Speaker 4: the headache in the hassle and the and the pain
Speaker 4: and anguish and problems that he had to go through
Speaker 4: during his first term, with every day having to face
Speaker 4: impeachment and allegations of this and that, and name calling
Speaker 4: constantly con instantly dragging his name through the mud every
Speaker 4: single day. Who among us could stand up to that challenge.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you need the job, it's one thing.
Speaker 4: But you know Vveks got all kinds of money in
Speaker 4: the bank. He doesn't need the job. He wants to
Speaker 4: do it to help Ohio, which I think it's a
Speaker 4: credit to his character. Credit to his character. Anyway, Dwine,
Speaker 4: have we got some problems with Dwine And we're talking
Speaker 4: about this earlier among the items in the budget. Apparently
Speaker 4: now it has a trigger to eliminate Medicaid coverage for
Speaker 4: about seven hundred and seventy thousand low income adults.
Speaker 1: These are adults.
Speaker 4: They were expanded during the Medicare expansion that Dwine grabbed
Speaker 4: onto or prior governor grabbed onto, expanded under Obama. And
Speaker 4: why do we bother expanding it because the federal government's
Speaker 4: paying for it. And so there's a trigger in the budget.
Speaker 4: If the federal government stops covering at least ninety percent
Speaker 4: of the benefit costs, then they're going to eliminate the
Speaker 4: expansion component, which will eliminate a lot of the fraud,
Speaker 4: waste and abuse that we talk about regularly here on
Speaker 4: the Morning Show. If there are fewer people on it,
Speaker 4: then there are fewer opportunities for false claims and fraud
Speaker 4: and other abuse to take place. Other changes, they say,
Speaker 4: we'll eliminate a plan to keep children on Medicaid through
Speaker 4: their fourth birthday. And then this one puzzles me, and
Speaker 4: it's Enquire's Jesse Baumer reporting take a step towards banning
Speaker 4: snap benefits for soda and sugar sweetened beverages. And I
Speaker 4: mentioned this earlier. I don't know what taking a step means.
Speaker 4: Why not just say it's eliminated. I mean, I puzzled
Speaker 4: over that one for years and years. Why do you
Speaker 4: and I our taxpayer dollars go to supplement a family
Speaker 4: who I'm not going to argue doesn't need the assistance,
Speaker 4: but end up paying for something that is not nutrition.
Speaker 4: In fact, is a problem. It's the obesity problem, which
Speaker 4: contributes to the medical bills that we all pay in
Speaker 4: this country, probably covered by Medicaid, another government program. Right, So,
Speaker 4: if you're going to try to get cut back on
Speaker 4: the number of medicaid claims that you make. You might
Speaker 4: want to help us improve our health, and one of
Speaker 4: the ways to improve our health is quit paying for
Speaker 4: sugary beverages that have no nutritional value and add to
Speaker 4: the obesity problem. It seems like a simple step in
Speaker 4: a logical conclusion reach, doesn't it?
Speaker 1: Eh? Anyway?
Speaker 4: Seven to fifty five fifty five cares to detoxtation Breitbart
Speaker 4: News Bradley j the deputy news director and former Capitol
Speaker 4: Hill staffer, will give us his analysis of what's going
Speaker 4: on in the Senate right now, literally on the Big
Speaker 4: Beautiful Bill. As of seven o'clock this morning, Senator Roger
Speaker 4: Ricker was asked about the bill if it can pass today.
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I hope it gets done. Not exactly overly optimistic from
Speaker 4: the senator. We'll see what Bradley Jay has to say
Speaker 4: about that. Plus the Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming to
Speaker 4: be at eight thirty. I hope you can stick around.
Speaker 1: Big things are happy n this justin. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: more at the top of the hour.
Speaker 8: What they are doing is terrorizing immigrant families.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk station.

Speaker 4: the fifty five KRC DE Talk Station. If you ever
Speaker 4: a happy Tuesday, Daniel Davis deep dive at the bottom
Speaker 4: of the hour, latest on Russia, Ukraine, Iran, and Israel
Speaker 4: in the meantime.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Bradley J.
Speaker 4: Breitbart's deputy news director and former Capitol Hill staff or
Speaker 4: bookmarket b r e I t baart dot com. You'll
Speaker 4: thank me for doing so. Welcome back, Bradley J. It's
Speaker 4: always a pleasure talking.
Speaker 1: With you, Bran. It's great to be with you.
Speaker 4: Like going on in Washington, for sure, Yeah, there is,
Speaker 4: you know, if you're a betting man, and we'll dive
Speaker 4: into some of the details of what's going on there.
Speaker 4: But they're still bickering over the amendments in the Senate.
Speaker 4: We don't have agreement among the Republicans, and obviously the
Speaker 4: republic are apparently setting up to be their own worst nightmare.
Speaker 4: If you're a betting man right now, do you think
Speaker 4: this thing's gonna actually pass?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 13: Gosh, you put me on the spot right at the beginning.
Speaker 13: But I do think it's going to pass. I think
Speaker 13: they're gonna find a way. It's going to be rocky.
Speaker 13: Right now, there appear to be four holdouts in the Senate.
Speaker 13: For Republican holdouts, they can only lose three, so they're
Speaker 13: trying to entice a couple to switch over.
Speaker 1: Will they be able to do it? What will it take.
Speaker 13: We're already twenty three hours into this amendment vodama, so
Speaker 13: there's been a lot of drama. Most of it has
Speaker 13: taken place off camera in those smoke filled back rooms of.
Speaker 1: The Senate, but it is It is tense, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4: Well and what really bothers me, and this is when
Speaker 4: people's political stripe is truly revealed. Lisa Murkowski, for example,
Speaker 4: from a one of the things she's complaining about is
Speaker 4: one of the obstructionists on this thing moving forward, is
Speaker 4: the Medicaid and nutritional assistance cuts in the bill. And
Speaker 4: also she's pushing for slower phase outs and clean energy
Speaker 4: tax credits. That's the part that irks me. You'd think
Speaker 4: the Republicans will uniformly embrace the idea of phasing out
Speaker 4: those clean energy tax credits because it's a big boondoggle.
Speaker 4: I mean, those energy companies wouldn't exist but for the
Speaker 4: tax credits anyway, who wouldn't be chasing our tail trying
Speaker 4: to pursue a carbon neutral world, which is impossible. I
Speaker 4: mean your thoughts on the energy tax credits alone, Bradley.
Speaker 13: Well, they say there are three political parties in DC, Republicans, Democrats,
Speaker 13: and appropriators. Lisa Murkowski is an appropriator. Her entire government
Speaker 13: philosophy is what can I do to bring home as
Speaker 13: much bacon to Alaska and to please my donors. When
Speaker 13: Biden passed those Green New Deal tax credits and actually
Speaker 13: started handing.
Speaker 1: Him out, he was very smart. He gave maybe.
Speaker 13: Around two thirds of them out in Republican states, and
Speaker 13: it's I mean, it's the golden handcuffs. You get these,
Speaker 13: you would think conservative states and a lot of conservative
Speaker 13: politicians addicted to that federal money and they don't want
Speaker 13: to give it up. Murkowski definitely falls in that camp. Look,
Speaker 13: this is a mature industry. We've been subsidizing wind and
Speaker 13: solar for decades and it still isn't viable. The technology
Speaker 13: isn't there, and most of the technology now comes from China.
Speaker 1: We need to get rid of that. Murkowski needs to
Speaker 1: get on board.
Speaker 4: Amen to that. Brother couldn't argue with that on that point.
Speaker 4: And you know, I go from the philosophy. You know,
Speaker 4: great ideas don't need coercion, and much in the same way,
Speaker 4: great ideas don't need tax credits. If it's a good idea,
Speaker 4: you're going to pursue it because it's in your best interest.
Speaker 4: And this is clearly not a direction we would normally
Speaker 4: go in.
Speaker 1: One of the.
Speaker 4: Things that may happen if they lose your more than
Speaker 4: one senator and you find yourself in a position where
Speaker 4: the bill can't pass, you can buy Senator Ran Paul
Speaker 4: back if you get rid of the five trillion dollars
Speaker 4: debt ceiling increase. I had seen that as a suggestion
Speaker 4: of what might happen today. Is that possible in your eye.
Speaker 1: It's a possibility. Trump will be livid.
Speaker 13: It's the Democrats would have so much leverage for the
Speaker 13: rest of the year, particularly in funding the government, which
Speaker 13: we are going to have to do in some fashion
Speaker 13: before the end of the fiscal year at the end
Speaker 13: of September. So it would be so beneficial if Republicans
Speaker 13: could actually get this off the table right now through
Speaker 13: the midterms. Now, most Republicans disagree with the Congressional Budget Office,
Speaker 13: which I've written about. It just has a long history
Speaker 13: of promoting Democrat objectives and belittling Republicans and just being
Speaker 13: totally wrong on all its budgetary projections. But a lot
Speaker 13: of Republicans think that despite what the CBO says about
Speaker 13: the deficits in this bill, that because of Trump's teariffs,
Speaker 13: we're actually gonna see the economy grow significantly. Uh So
Speaker 13: the debt the debt limit will not be as big
Speaker 13: of a deal as it has been in the past.
Speaker 13: Uh But look, the bottom line is that got to
Speaker 13: find a way to get this done.
Speaker 1: You have to secure the borders.
Speaker 13: Uh or and and and do all this other stuff
Speaker 13: to protect the country or else we're not even the
Speaker 13: deaths it won't even matter. What what What does their
Speaker 13: deficit matter if you've turned into a third world country.
Speaker 13: Uh So, I think that because of everything that's in
Speaker 13: this bill, immigration, border security, opening up energy, uh what
Speaker 13: it does on taxes, goodness gracious.
Speaker 1: Uh, I think that they've got to find a way
Speaker 1: to get this done.
Speaker 13: Uh preferably by extending the debt limit a little bit further.
Speaker 13: But we'll see if they have to uh do that
Speaker 13: to get Paul on board. I deally not. I think
Speaker 13: that they'll be able to get Murkowski on board.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad you bought up the CBO scoring and
Speaker 4: I agree with your criticisms of the c CB. I
Speaker 4: don't understand. It's like the alchemy or piece of God
Speaker 4: to me. I don't know how they're able to project
Speaker 4: ten years hence you know what this is ultimately going
Speaker 4: to be by way of financial impact. But one of
Speaker 4: the things I heard by way of criticism is that,
Speaker 4: at least as I understood it, and Bradley Jay, if
Speaker 4: you could help me, and if I'm misunderstanding it, the
Speaker 4: CBO is viewing the extension of the Trump tax cuts
Speaker 4: as part of the problem. In other words, we're not
Speaker 4: bringing as much money as we would had the twenty
Speaker 4: seventeen tax cuts not been a part of it. So
Speaker 4: they're viewing it from the lens of pre twenty seventeen
Speaker 4: taxing levels and assigning debt to the reduced levels that
Speaker 4: we are currently enjoying right now. Is that's have some
Speaker 4: measure of accuracy in your mind baseball on what I've
Speaker 4: read or how I'm recollecting it.
Speaker 13: Well, a lot of the discussion right now, and Democrats
Speaker 13: lost this battle. It was the first vote that was
Speaker 13: taken during this vodama on how the bill would be scored.
Speaker 13: The twenty seventeen tax credits are set to expire at
Speaker 13: the end of this year. When you are scoring the
Speaker 13: rest of that year, or excuse me, when you're you're
Speaker 13: scoring throughout the rest of the ten year window, do
Speaker 13: you make the assumption that those tax credits would have
Speaker 13: been extended.
Speaker 1: That's what a lot of Republicans are saying, right They say,
Speaker 1: you need to.
Speaker 13: Look at the political practicalities of this, and Republicans were
Speaker 13: never going to let a lot of those tax credits expire.
Speaker 13: That's what Republicans are arguing. The CBO disagrees with that.
Speaker 13: But but the bottom line is that it is in
Speaker 13: the law that the Budget Committee chairman has the discretion
Speaker 13: to choose how it is scored. This, I mean, the
Speaker 13: Republicans and Democrats have done this before. So it's just
Speaker 13: one more thing that Democrats are finding to pitch a
Speaker 13: fit about. It is nice to the Democrats actually worried
Speaker 13: about debt deficit, however disingenuous. But but they lost that
Speaker 13: battle and we're marching on. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 4: I have laughed literally out loud when I see the
Speaker 4: chucky Schumers of the world screaming about how this increases
Speaker 4: the hole we've dug ourselves in thus far by three
Speaker 4: point three trillion dollars and he's complaining about it. It's like,
Speaker 4: wait a second, when did he become a deficit hawk?
Speaker 4: It's like it's comical.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean they just were just a few years
Speaker 13: away from them passing as the inflation reduction. Yeah, remember
Speaker 13: that one, the one that fueled incredible record inflation we
Speaker 13: hadn't seen since the Jimmy Carter era. Give me a break,
Speaker 13: these guys have.
Speaker 1: No credibility at all on this issue.
Speaker 4: Now, Bradley Jay in terms of is this going to
Speaker 4: end up being because we're not cutting a huge chunk
Speaker 4: out of the government spending. I mean, if we're talking
Speaker 4: about any increase in the deficit, then we're not cutting
Speaker 4: an because we have a spending problem. I would like
Speaker 4: to see, you know, every turn and you know, maybe
Speaker 4: lower spending so we don't have a hole being dug
Speaker 4: at all now. Elon Musk commented about this, He called
Speaker 4: you the porky Big Party, the uniparty. He's planning on
Speaker 4: launching his own America Party if this thing passes this
Speaker 4: are are we missing an opportunity here to cut more?
Speaker 4: Or is he just he outside of the box of
Speaker 4: reality because this is not about discretionary spending. It can't
Speaker 4: be or wouldn't be part of the reconciliation process. So
Speaker 4: all the DOGE work on discretionary spending, as legitimate as
Speaker 4: it was, couldn't be addressed in this bill anyway. But
Speaker 4: could they cut more?
Speaker 13: Bradley, Look, you know your stuff. You're you're exactly right.
Speaker 13: This bill deals with mandatory spending. It's a reconciliation bill.
Speaker 13: They're constraints on it. That's why you don't have to
Speaker 13: that's why it's not subject to the filibus or that
Speaker 13: sixty vote majority at only needs fifty votes.
Speaker 1: This is mandatory spending.
Speaker 13: In the appropriations process, we can start enacting a lot
Speaker 13: of those DOGE cuts. That's where we can really take
Speaker 13: the meat acts to some things, but we're very limited
Speaker 13: in how we can use reconciliation.
Speaker 1: It deals with spending.
Speaker 13: Inue revenue, but we can't really enact these sweeping policy
Speaker 13: changes in it now. As I mentioned earlier, we have
Speaker 13: appropriations bills we have to pass before the end of
Speaker 13: the fiscal year at the end of September. The House
Speaker 13: has already passed one recisions package. It's been held up
Speaker 13: in the Senate by surprise surprise, Appropriations Chairwoman Susan Collins.
Speaker 13: We'll see what happens next week if they can amend
Speaker 13: that and get it through the Senate. If so, we'll
Speaker 13: see further recisions package. Just today there's some news rough
Speaker 13: Vote is making a renewed effort to set up doing
Speaker 13: pocket recisions, which is basically where you send a recisions
Speaker 13: package right before the end of the fiscal year, and
Speaker 13: if Congress doesn't act on it, you just deemed the
Speaker 13: recisions package and acted. There's also impoundments. There's gonna be
Speaker 13: a court battle when Trump, I think inevitably does that.
Speaker 13: But Trump can just say, you know what, I'm the
Speaker 13: chief executive. I don't have to spend this money. So
Speaker 13: there are many other ways that we can do these
Speaker 13: that we can find spending cuts, and there's a talk
Speaker 13: of doing more reconciliation bills beginning in the fall.
Speaker 1: So there are more bikes at.
Speaker 13: The apple that we can get, and that's gonna be
Speaker 13: a key part of Trump's argument to a lot of
Speaker 13: these spending hawks in passing this bill before the Senate today.
Speaker 4: All right, let's assume, for the sake of discussion today,
Speaker 4: Bradley Jay, that day does pass in the Senate, it's
Speaker 4: fate in the House because there is another critical vote
Speaker 4: over in the House on this thing.
Speaker 1: How do you see that going.
Speaker 13: It's gonna be tough, There's no question about it. Again,
Speaker 13: I think, because we'll have these other opportunity unities to
Speaker 13: cut some of the discretionary spending, a lot of the
Speaker 13: spending hawks will get on board.
Speaker 5: Keep it on.
Speaker 1: We don't know what this bill will look like right
Speaker 1: Still a.
Speaker 13: Few more Senate amendments on Medicaid and on those Green
Speaker 13: New Deal subsidies that we are likely to see probably
Speaker 13: this morning.
Speaker 1: But the House is getting ready.
Speaker 13: The House Rules Committee is meeting, well, it's supposed to
Speaker 13: meet today at noon, assuming the Senate has passed the
Speaker 13: bill by then. They're teeing up the first procedural vote
Speaker 13: tomorrow morning at nine am. There is going to be
Speaker 13: some intense pressure on some of these holdouts. But look,
Speaker 13: Trump's been able to get it done so far, Yes
Speaker 13: he has.
Speaker 4: Now, I hope cooler heads prevail, you know, And honestly,
Speaker 4: if you're an elected official from a state liking Lisa
Speaker 4: Murkowski and you want to cut the Medicaid and she doesn't,
Speaker 4: of course, you know, make the argument to your people.
Speaker 4: You know, I went ahead and I signed on to
Speaker 4: it in spite of the cuts of Medicaid because it
Speaker 4: never should have been expanded in the first place. You
Speaker 4: got able by adult people who are capable of working
Speaker 4: on a program that was not designed to help them
Speaker 4: because they aren't on life's margins. You know, it's like, sorry,
Speaker 4: you know, we're gonna have to pay it back to
Speaker 4: our Medicaid spending in the state. But it's good for
Speaker 4: the American taxpayer generally speaking, and it cuts it a
Speaker 4: large chunk of spending from the federal government. So in
Speaker 4: the final analysis, we're all going to benefit from it.
Speaker 1: Brian, you nailed it.
Speaker 13: I couldn't have said it any better. At some point,
Speaker 13: these politicians who've been in office for longer than some
Speaker 13: of us have been alive need to put the actual
Speaker 13: needs of their country before their political needs.
Speaker 1: But look, this is Washington. We don't see a lot
Speaker 1: of that unfortunately. Bradley J.

Speaker 4: Tuesday judging Apaula time tomorrow eight thirty every Wednesday and
Speaker 4: Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming over the next segment and
Speaker 4: the meantimes. Go to the phone, Susan and welcome to
Speaker 4: the morning show. Thanks for calling today.
Speaker 14: Good morning, Brian. It's great talking to you, and thank
Speaker 14: you so much for the great guests that you have
Speaker 14: on your show. Always informative and look forward to it.
Speaker 14: I wanted to talk to you a little bit and
Speaker 14: thank you too also for helping to get the potholes.
Speaker 14: I think you're attition to all the potholes up here,
Speaker 14: especially on sunset really over the tail winter. I drive
Speaker 14: over that area quite often and that pot hole the
Speaker 14: last time that I had reported it myself. I'm team
Speaker 14: times too to the city, and finally I called the
Speaker 14: I called the Mayor's office. They said, well, we've had
Speaker 14: that repair. They said it was repaired, and I offered
Speaker 14: them a suggestion of maybe starting a doze within the
Speaker 14: city so that we can make sure that the job
Speaker 14: is being done and we're being you know, paid for
Speaker 14: a service and making it complete. But they quickly hung
Speaker 14: up on me, and shortly afterwards it was taking care of.
Speaker 14: But you were also I think a big, a big step.
Speaker 4: Well I appreciate that. I'm not going to take credit
Speaker 4: for it, but yeah, I think enough people out in
Speaker 4: the world were complaining. I was not the only one,
Speaker 4: so I kiss the word got out.
Speaker 14: I literally went past there one evening and there was
Speaker 14: somebody's front bumper sitting in that big preface. I was like,
Speaker 14: oh my gosh, and that that was it.
Speaker 6: That was it.
Speaker 14: The next day I called the free one one, you know,
Speaker 14: and called called the Mayor's office. But speaking of dog,
Speaker 14: can you tell me this does actually have any plans
Speaker 14: in place for a dog type committee.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going to happen on a going
Speaker 4: forward basis. I know elon Musk is not necessary for
Speaker 4: them to do that type of work. And my understanding
Speaker 4: is it still exists as a concept and they're still
Speaker 4: looking into fraud, waste, and abuse. The problem is you
Speaker 4: just have to defund it completely. And I think that's
Speaker 4: the direction that the that the administration is going toward,
Speaker 4: because let's face it, uh, they uncovered a lot of fraud,
Speaker 4: waste and abuse, ridiculous programs that you and I were
Speaker 4: paying for, stuff that never should have been approved. So
Speaker 4: it's a slow process. But again, if you just can't
Speaker 4: address it with the Reconciliation bill, That's why one of
Speaker 4: the things that I think Elon Musk's criticism is maybe
Speaker 4: a little bit misplaced, although I do agree with what
Speaker 4: he said about the insane spending from government. But thanks
Speaker 4: for the hard work on the potholes, Susan. I appreciate
Speaker 4: you making the call. Yeah, hopefully I'll be I'll still
Speaker 4: be alive ultimately when they repave all of Sunset.
Speaker 1: Not that I drive on it very much, but it's

Speaker 4: Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis joins the program every Tuesday
Speaker 4: at this time to talk about well usually warfare, war strategy,
Speaker 4: and what's it look like on the ground. Welcome back,
Speaker 4: Daniel Davis. Always a pleasure to have you on the
Speaker 4: fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 13: Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's start with Ukraine.
Speaker 4: I saw an article of Wall Street Journal Russia masses
Speaker 4: fifty thousand troops around Sumi, putting Ukraine in precarious position.
Speaker 4: They described as the Ukraine forces being outnumbered three to
Speaker 4: one and some really high casualty numbers also going along
Speaker 4: with that on a daily basis, Plus the Russians continue
Speaker 4: to gain ground and take over more land. Not looking
Speaker 4: real good for the Ukrainians right now, is it?
Speaker 7: Ye?
Speaker 1: That hasn't been looking good for the Ukrainians for years.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 15: You can really go all the way back to the
Speaker 15: end of twenty twenty two, where they had probably what's
Speaker 15: going to be in history. Is there two signature successes
Speaker 15: in this whole even at the tactical level, with the
Speaker 15: taking of the Kirsoon City and the Kharkiv region when
Speaker 15: they forced Russia back over thousands of square kilometers. Since
Speaker 15: that time, it's been almost all downhill in the backwards
Speaker 15: sense for the Ukraine side. It's beginning in the twenty
Speaker 15: twenty three offensive where they were crushed in their attempt
Speaker 15: to drive Russia out, and ever since that time they
Speaker 15: have been on the defensive, and as you pointed out,
Speaker 15: evidence suggested Russia's ramping up for a pretty solid summer
Speaker 15: offensive really across the whole front line.
Speaker 1: You mentioned that in the Sumi area.
Speaker 15: Interesting thing about that claim of fifty thousand it seems
Speaker 15: to be that they're prioritizing the Russians numbers of troops
Speaker 15: and not so much like mechanized forces and tanks and
Speaker 15: the armored personnel carries, et cetera, which implies that they're
Speaker 15: still and they're going to ramp up their preferred strategy tactic,
Speaker 15: which is to cause Ukrainian casualties, not so much to
Speaker 15: take ground, because you're not going to take a lot
Speaker 15: of ground without a lot of mechanized forces and other
Speaker 15: things to allow you to get further down the field.
Speaker 15: But they do have enough to get up to the
Speaker 15: line and then continue to have casualty. So I doubt
Speaker 15: you'll see a big movement in terms of how much
Speaker 15: territory is taken here in the next coming months, but
Speaker 15: you will continue to see a very high casualty rate.
Speaker 15: And as we've talked before, it's a zero sum deal
Speaker 15: and the Ukraine side just doesn't have men to replace
Speaker 15: those they lose well.
Speaker 4: And I was thinking that along along the lines of well,
Speaker 4: if they ask for more military hardware, then they I mean,
Speaker 4: you have to have someone to operate it. And with
Speaker 4: a declining number of people behind, you know, triggers in
Speaker 4: the Ukrainian military force, which is the direction that's going,
Speaker 4: they're running out of people. I mean, extra equipment in
Speaker 4: arms is not going to help them with their depleted forces.
Speaker 4: It doesn't seem I mean, I don't know if they're
Speaker 4: clamoring for more from aid from the United States, what
Speaker 4: NATO's position is on this visa. You giving them additional
Speaker 4: arms and weapons. But you know, back to my fundamental point.
Speaker 15: Well, and that's been my frustration, especially in the Hague
Speaker 15: with a NATO meeting, and you know, all these big
Speaker 15: meetings that you keep seeing all over the television, and
Speaker 15: Zelensky again when he's making these speeches and everybody's cheering
Speaker 15: loudly and all this kind of stuff, and they're talking
Speaker 15: about how the you know, NATO's gonna go up to
Speaker 15: five percent to GDP in the next ten years, and
Speaker 15: a lot of that's going to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: They're going to give them X Y and z et cetera.
Speaker 15: The Zelensky's talking, I need air defense missiles, and I
Speaker 15: can certainly understand his desire to have that, but no
Speaker 15: one in this all of this self congratulatory parade talks
Speaker 15: about the fact that you just mentioned here about the personnel.
Speaker 15: If we give you all this stuff, who is going
Speaker 15: to operate it? Because there is a dearth of people
Speaker 15: to the front line. They still are having terrible situations
Speaker 15: where they are grabbing men off the streets. In Ukraine,
Speaker 15: they're talking about lowering the age of mobilization down to eighteen.
Speaker 15: It's terrifying a lot of parents, and there's a lot
Speaker 15: of people leaving the country trying to get out, especially
Speaker 15: if they have sixteen seventeen year old kids. They want
Speaker 15: to get them out before it gets to eighteen, et cetera.
Speaker 15: There's just no people to continue to operate this. So
Speaker 15: you're going down a path that's going to say we'll
Speaker 15: lose a little bit slower if we get this stuff,
Speaker 15: but it's not going to change the outcome.
Speaker 1: You will lose well.
Speaker 4: And they've got Grandpa's behind the trigger out there on
Speaker 4: the front lines too. I mean, we're talking, you know,
Speaker 4: some seniors out there that have taken up arms and
Speaker 4: trying to defend their country, whether they want to or
Speaker 4: whether they were pulled out of a bar and we're
Speaker 4: told to. That's just as reflectible, very desperate situation on
Speaker 4: You mentioned the five percent that Trump was able to
Speaker 4: get the or the NATO forces to contribute to their
Speaker 4: own defense, which I'm glad to see happening, and we've
Speaker 4: been footing the bill to defend them now forever.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: But that's a gradual process. Just because they're there and
Speaker 4: they agree that, okay, five percent of GDP is going
Speaker 4: to go to they have to build up their militaries.
Speaker 4: They don't have sizeable military forces right now. They're going
Speaker 4: to have to acquire the weaponry and the machinery and
Speaker 4: the hardware, which is going to be a gradual acquisition.
Speaker 4: Just by them agreeing to do that doesn't benefit Ukraine
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't.
Speaker 15: And in fact, there's when you peer a little bit
Speaker 15: more into the details of what's been claimed. Despite all
Speaker 15: the happy headlines and the claims that we're going to
Speaker 15: go to this five percent, which is a staggering amount
Speaker 15: above what they've been doing for decades by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 15: then you look at the details and they're saying, yeah,
Speaker 15: we'll do another reassessment about a year after Trump leaves
Speaker 15: his office. So all this congratulations in claims that they're
Speaker 15: gonna do this or that for for NATO, and you
Speaker 15: saw Mark Rucha, the NATO Secretary General, just lathering up
Speaker 15: Trump one side and down the other, crazing him in
Speaker 15: public and saying all these wonderful things. But call me
Speaker 15: a cynical, but I think that a lot of these
Speaker 15: European leaders have no intention to ever meet five percent.
Speaker 15: But they just want to get Trump off the stage
Speaker 15: into well they can get a more amenable president maybe
Speaker 15: that might not be as concerned as he is about,
Speaker 15: you know, not doing more than our share and allowing
Speaker 15: them not to.
Speaker 1: So I just called me skeptical. We'll see how it
Speaker 1: works out.
Speaker 15: Yeah, but you're talking ten years and they have all
Speaker 15: their own domestic economic issues. There's going to be a
Speaker 15: lot of elections between now and then. I'm just put
Speaker 15: me in the will see camp. Yeah, I'm with you
Speaker 15: wholeheartedly on that. I'm Jaden and cinecal about most everything.
Speaker 15: So yeah, I'm going to wait and keep my popcorn out,
Speaker 15: wait to see what they actually do. And let's face it, yeah,
Speaker 15: they might have conceded a Trump's demands, at least on paper,
Speaker 15: just to sort of get them in the room with
Speaker 15: him when he hit sits down with him and talks
Speaker 15: about tariffs. You know, it's like, you don't want to
Speaker 15: be in a bad position visa v. Trump if per agree,
Speaker 15: if you have the negotia with him. All right, let's
Speaker 15: pivot over to the situation in Iran. Is in Israel,
Speaker 15: I personally have no idea how much damage was done
Speaker 15: to the Irani nuclear facilities.
Speaker 1: I haven't been in there.
Speaker 4: I think people are still struggling over one whether or
Speaker 4: not it's been damaged for months or years. I guess
Speaker 4: the significant takeaway from me is at least there's a
Speaker 4: ceasefire and they're not dropping bombs on each other and
Speaker 4: killing each other.
Speaker 1: Right now, do you see that lasting?
Speaker 4: I mean, some of the statements from the Iranian officials
Speaker 4: that are still alive are a little bit troubling, most
Speaker 4: notably the fatois that was issued on Trump and net
Speaker 4: and Yahoo the other day. That doesn't that's not a
Speaker 4: step in the right direction. But whatever, But how do
Speaker 4: you see this?
Speaker 15: Yeah, Frankly, you have those kind of statements coming from
Speaker 15: all three parties, the US, Israel, and Iran. So in
Speaker 15: my view, this is nothing but a pause because all
Speaker 15: three parties needed it. We needed it because especially with
Speaker 15: what we're still trying to do with Ukraine and what
Speaker 15: we had tried to do in the Red Sea, and
Speaker 15: then now with this, we didn't have enough air defense
Speaker 15: interceptor missiles or offensive missiles to maintain a steady state
Speaker 15: offensive that could have lasted many months. For example, between
Speaker 15: Iran and Israel. Israel obviously was running short on interceptor missiles.
Speaker 15: They'd been firing, you know, for a long time here,
Speaker 15: and now then they stepped up, and you know, the
Speaker 15: Iranian showed that they had a significant capacity for missiles
Speaker 15: despite what some may have believed. I think you and
Speaker 15: I've been talking on this show for a long time
Speaker 15: that Iran did have the capability to penetrate the iron
Speaker 15: Dome system, and now they've proven it. And Israel doesn't
Speaker 15: have the capacity to endure that kind of sustained hit,
Speaker 15: and they've never suffered this in their entire history to
Speaker 15: the level they have here, and they can't sustain it.
Speaker 15: Iran also couldn't sustain what they were enduring because they
Speaker 15: basically had lost their air defense system. So the Israeli
Speaker 15: jets were flying with virtual impunity along with the well
Speaker 15: so yeah, so the bottom line, everybody needed a pause,
Speaker 15: But nobody has changed their position. Nothing has been accomplished,
Speaker 15: so as far as I can see, we're just waiting
Speaker 15: for it to restart.
Speaker 4: Okay, and I guess given the incredible Israeli intelligence, we've
Speaker 4: got to give them props for you know, sneaking in
Speaker 4: and setting everything up for this this strike that they did.
Speaker 4: I mean, it seems to me that's changed the whole
Speaker 4: nature of warfare when you consider drune technology and how
Speaker 4: you know, moving in and hiding things close to the
Speaker 4: targets is an achievable objective. But don't you think given
Speaker 4: these rocket batteries, these missile batteries, I would argue they
Speaker 4: take up some large space that Iranian intelligence or Israeli
Speaker 4: intelligence would know where they are.
Speaker 1: So these this open air.
Speaker 4: Space that they were able to get and achieve, it
Speaker 4: just seems to invite launches of more air strikes to
Speaker 4: blow up the very missiles that they can't shoot down
Speaker 4: once they arrived in Israeli airspace.
Speaker 15: Well, they certainly wanted to do that, but Iran for
Speaker 15: decades has been well aware that if they got into
Speaker 15: a fight with Israel, that this is how the fight
Speaker 15: would be done. So they put very few of their
Speaker 15: launchers out in the open to be seen, or like
Speaker 15: in buildings that where it can be easily identified and
Speaker 15: the building blown up. So they've all been the majority
Speaker 15: have been underground where they remain, so they have this
Speaker 15: situation where like in actually North Korea has.
Speaker 1: Done this for many decades, and that may be where
Speaker 1: they originated.
Speaker 15: The idea is that there there is like you know,
Speaker 15: these hardened caves, and then the blast doors will open,
Speaker 15: the launcher will come out, it will fire's load, and
Speaker 15: then it'll go back in there. So unless you have
Speaker 15: a plane in the air just looking or a drone
Speaker 15: of some sort that can have a target of opportunity
Speaker 15: in minutes, you can't get up there before the thing's
Speaker 15: back in its container. So it's very, very difficult to
Speaker 15: do that. And we don't even know how many missiles
Speaker 15: and launchers Iran actually has. You know, I saw some
Speaker 15: people claiming that forty percent of the launchers had been destroyed,
Speaker 15: because that seems to be the key issue. You can
Speaker 15: have a million missiles, but if you don't have any launchers,
Speaker 15: it's meaningless. I don't think anyone really knows how many
Speaker 15: launchers they have to know what percentage has been damaged,
Speaker 15: So I would not expect that that's going to go
Speaker 15: away anytime soon.
Speaker 4: And I imagine they're spread far and wide geographically too,
Speaker 4: so absolutely are fair enough retire with ten Colonel Daniel Davis,
Speaker 4: always a real pleasure having on the program. Encourage my
Speaker 4: listeners to search for your podcast, Daniel Davis Deep Dive
