WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:13.080 Five o five. I think about KRC the talk station, 2 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:27.280 sue Happy Tuesday, some say. 3 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:28.760 Vacation. 4 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.039 Why is everyone so stupid? 5 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:36.799 Oh? 6 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.039 If only the FCC didn't exist. You could play the 7 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.920 actual full quote from that one. Happy Tuesday, folks. Brian 8 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.280 Thomas right here, glad to be looking forward to seven thirty. 9 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:53.079 Pardon me? Yeah, start talking the first thing in the morning. 10 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:53.560 This is it. 11 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.079 You hear the first syllables that I utter. And sometimes 12 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.640 my fox is a little froggy. Anyway, looking forward to 13 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.679 seventh or the day Gramaswami returns to the fifty five 14 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.079 Caressey Morning Show, the next governor of the East State 15 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.000 of Ohio. As Governor de Wine signed the budget into effect, 16 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.599 we don't know what he vetoed yet though. That's kind 17 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.959 of weird. I checked just a moment ago to see 18 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.480 if I could figure out what he specifically vetoed. There 19 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.879 were articles talking about what he talked about maybe vetoing. 20 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.920 But he does have the power of the line I'm vito, 21 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.439 so he can go through there and scratch out a 22 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.640 whole bunch of things, and apparently he did. Sixty seven 23 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.359 specific items were vetoed by Governor de Wine before he 24 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.719 signed the rest of it into law, so the details 25 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:41.640 on that momentarily. Anyway, we'll talk with Vivek about his 26 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.319 record fundraising. He is on a tear. In just four months, 27 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.400 he's already pulled together eight and a half million dollars. 28 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.760 I'm excited about him as being governor of the state 29 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.840 of Ohio. I think he's going to do a fine job. 30 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.519 And see how optimistic I am that he's going to 31 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.840 get elected. We'll also talk with Vvak about the Ohio 32 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.040 budget fly tax money for stadiums which is in there. 33 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.759 Governor de Wine didn't veto these six hundred million dollars 34 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.039 going to the Cleveland Browns, which really just frankly end 35 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:17.240 this five o'clock hour pisses me off. Medicaid fraud also 36 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.439 one of the topics of conversations with mister Ramaswami inside 37 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.479 scoop with Breitbart News. It is Tuesday, eight o five 38 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:24.120 is when we do that. 39 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.919 Today. Bradley J. 40 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.680 Breitbart's deputy news director, returns former Capitol Hill staffer. He 41 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.960 is and he will talk about the big beautiful bill, 42 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.840 which is still being debated in the center right now. 43 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.000 And I don't know from everything I read, I don't 44 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.280 think it's far from a lock. Apparently there are six 45 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.400 senators who are expressing disapproval over it. We all know 46 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.159 about Ran Paul, he was a definite no because of 47 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.840 the five trillion dollars debt ceiling increase. But beyond that, 48 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.080 we have a number of other ones who are emerging 49 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.680 who are sounding like they're going to be nos. And 50 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.479 you can't afford to lose any more than the two 51 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.319 that are already gone. So it just it's still in 52 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.080 a state of flux, which if they don't get something done, 53 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.719 our taxes are all going to go out by a 54 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.000 significant amount. And it's really weird too. You see the 55 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.439 Congressional Budget Office scoring on it. We're going to increase 56 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.800 the debt three point three trillion dollars over ten years, 57 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.599 and then you flip it over and it just depends 58 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.800 on how you view their scoring, and it's all, I 59 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.120 would argue, basically boils down to alchemy. There's been a 60 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.080 lot of chrisms criticism of the CBO, and I've always 61 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.319 criticized it because it only looks out ten years, as 62 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.520 if the world ends in ten years, you don't have 63 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.879 to consider the ramifications further down the road. But some 64 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.120 are suggesting five hundred billion, not three point three trillion. 65 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.319 It just depends on what you're using. By way of scoring, 66 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.400 the CBO looks at things as if Donald Trump's tax 67 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.000 cuts from twenty seventeen never went into effect, and so 68 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.319 by keeping them in place, they view that as a 69 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.400 deficit creating reality when they're in effect right now. So 70 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.360 you should consider anything but the current situation and the 71 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.759 current state of the law. Anyway, I'll let the accountants 72 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.719 at Eggheads argue over that. I just know that we 73 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.840 spend too much. And that's a comment that's echoed by 74 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.480 Elon Musk just yesterday, where the US is ruled by 75 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:22.399 porky Pig Party, the uniparty. I think there's something legitimate 76 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.199 what he says. It's obviously with it's obvious with the 77 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.319 insane spending of this bill, the one the Senate is considering, 78 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.839 which increases the debt by a record five trillion dollars 79 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.680 debt ceiling, that we live in a one party country, 80 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.720 the porky pig Party. This from a post on X 81 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.399 yesterday afternoon. Time for a new political party that actually 82 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:49.800 cares about the people. He has suggested that before, threatened 83 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.079 that if this insane spending bill passes, the America Party 84 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.480 will be formed the next day. Our country needs an 85 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.759 alternative to the Democrat Republican uniparties so that people actually 86 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.959 have a voice. What do you think the America Party 87 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.639 would stand for? Fiscal responsibility, limited government, free markets. Just 88 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.399 like the original tenants of the Tea Party that I embraced, 89 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.879 kind of went off the rails. But what is wrong 90 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:22.759 with fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. Something tells 91 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.079 me that if you had a new America Party headed 92 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.560 by Elon Musk, that would probably be the boiled down 93 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.839 point of it, which supports my sort of libertarian, little 94 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.680 ill libertarian thinking. Limited government, not telling you how to 95 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:44.399 live your life, free markets, competition's good for everyone. Ah, 96 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.199 at least that's my take on matters. Let us see 97 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.160 Daniel Davis Deep Dive looking forward to having a conversation 98 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.240 with about Russia Ukraine. Will also get an update on 99 00:05:52.319 --> 00:06:00.759 Ron Israel. Israel actually talking about making peace with Syria 100 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.800 and Lebanon saying that the goal on heights is not negotiable. 101 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.199 And I understand that the strategic realities of the goal 102 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:11.680 on heights, which is one of the Sixth Day war 103 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:18.160 in nineteen sixty seven cannot be argued that would be 104 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.519 is a consequence of the fact that, well, it's the 105 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.160 goal on heights and it looks over Israel. But there's 106 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.319 some question whether the Syria really even cares about it. 107 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.040 So it wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if Syria 108 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.399 and Lebanon and Israel entered into a peace agreement along 109 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.720 the lines of the Abraham Accords. Peace in the Middle 110 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.319 East in our lifetime? Is that even possible? Rwanda's Foreign 111 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.439 minister saying Trump absolutely deserves the nobel peace price for 112 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.120 helping end the thirty year conflict with Congo. Thirty years 113 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.040 they have been fighting, they are no longer fighting. Whether 114 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:02.120 it holds remains to be seen. But Rwanda's Foreign minister 115 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.839 praising Donald Trump for his work and negotiating this peace 116 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:11.360 agreement between Ronda and Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Kano, saying, 117 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.720 this conflict in Eastern DRC is one of the longest 118 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:19.839 conflicts on the continent. Thirty years. We have a gen 119 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.800 had a genocidal movement that has been destabilizing our country 120 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.439 during this whole period. Anyone, including President Trump, who would 121 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.160 help sizably to bring this conflict to an end deserves 122 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.399 the Nobel Peace Prize. 123 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:31.480 How about that. 124 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.759 Pakistan also pushed for Trump to get the Nobel Peace 125 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.120 Prize as well, after he negotiated at least the systant 126 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:41.319 of negotiating into hostilities between Pakistan and India. How about 127 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.600 that at least he's done something to ward to peace, 128 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.759 unlike Barack Obama, who got the Nobel Peace Prize for 129 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.639 well doing literally nothing. 130 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.839 Zero man. 131 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.360 You know, the systems are igglant that when that happened, 132 00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:01.800 just absolutely absolutely anyway, three seven four nine fifty eight 133 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.079 hundred eight two three pound five fifty on eighteen to vot. 134 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.920 It's kind of a stream of consciousness morning for me 135 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.639 here anyway. Right before midnight, Governor Line signed the stage 136 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:14.839 two year budget vetoed sixty seven items. As I mentioned before, 137 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:17.959 he claimed that they weren't in a hu's best interest 138 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.480 lease according to the spokesperson who said he vetoed sixty 139 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.680 seven items. Details on those vetos again not immediately available, 140 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.120 but apparently that was the highest number of vetos since 141 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.079 he became governor in twenty nineteen. Previous record forty four. 142 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.639 For those keeping track, I know, jee Chrecker follows the 143 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.480 veto numbers very closely. He's got a sports bat on 144 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:38.879 that one. 145 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:41.320 Uh. 146 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.759 Anyway, Yes, included in the budget, you me other Ohio 147 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.559 taxpayers are basically funding, and I know it's coming out 148 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.080 of the unclaim funds, pile of we'll call it a 149 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:59.279 slush fund, bank accounts and other things that have gone 150 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.120 unclaimed for long period of time and end up in 151 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.240 this four point five I think billion dollar fund. So 152 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.720 they reached into that and grabbed the money to pay 153 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.399 for the Browns Stadium thing. I still say you and 154 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.240 I are equally entitled to that as much as anybody 155 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.679 who owns the Browns. And imagine what we could possibly 156 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.080 do with four and a half billion dollars as opposed 157 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:28.120 to sending it over to sports teams. He kept the 158 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.320 income tax cut for a Highlands earning more than one 159 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.279 hundred thousand dollars. We've got a flat tax now here 160 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.360 in the state of Ohio all residents making at least 161 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.840 twenty six fifty one dollars. I would scratch my head. 162 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.320 How did they end up with that number? Anyway, anybody 163 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.960 over twenty six thousan fifty one dollars tax to two 164 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.720 point seventy five percent. They claimed the cut will cost 165 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:54.440 the state about one billion dollars in lost revenue. That's okay, 166 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.840 it's one billion dollars less than they can spend on 167 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:04.720 our behalf. The wine had previously said that income tax 168 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.120 cut was not necessary to bring business into the state. 169 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.159 Doesn't hurt, though, does it? It makes us more competitive 170 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:16.480 with states that don't charge any income tax. Under to 171 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.600 your budget, House will spend more than eight billion dollars 172 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.919 annually on K through twelve schools, fifty four million each 173 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.879 year to reward high performing school districts, so incentive program 174 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:32.000 built in there. The budget also created education saving accounts 175 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:39.080 for students who attend non chartered religious schools. Lawmakers the 176 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.200 budget triggers actually has a trigger to eliminate Medicaid coverage 177 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.279 for about three quarters of a million low income adults 178 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.240 if the federal government stops covering at least ninety percent 179 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.399 of the benefits costs. So maybe the current Senate bill 180 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.279 is in play and to deal with that a trigger 181 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.559 might be in there. They show the chain would eliminate 182 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.600 the plan to keep children on Medicaid through their fourth 183 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:07.080 birth birthdays and take a step towards banning snap benefits 184 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.720 for pop and our soda and sugar sweetened beverages. And 185 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.240 I don't know what that means. Take a step toward 186 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.279 banning snap benefits for soda and sugar sweetened beverages. I'd 187 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.399 like to think it just eliminates the payment. They have 188 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.240 no nutritional value whatsoever. Why is it part of a 189 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.120 nutrition assistance program if it's not nutrition? 190 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.399 Yes, rhetorically. 191 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:37.440 Five eight two three Talk day, Hang on, buddy, get 192 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:44.080 your call right after these brief words.

Hey, 208 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.720 good morning, Brian. 209 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.960 Hey just heard you talking about Medicaid prods. I couldn't 210 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:30.120 stand it, so I had to call in. 211 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.039 You know, the wine is. 212 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.639 Just a little background. This whole medicaid fraud with Ohio 213 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.120 started with President Obama doing Medicaid expansion. And we pick 214 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:46.120 expansion just mean lower the bar and let unqualified people in. 215 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:51.440 And to the Musk's point being the Unit Party, the 216 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.440 porky pig party, Yeah, Obama was. 217 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:55.799 Able to buy off many. 218 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.519 I think there was nineteen red steak governors who, like 219 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.000 Chief Little Horrors that Mike the wine is, took the 220 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:07.720 deal and it actually started with Kasik, Republican Governor number one, 221 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.960 took the deal, forced it into Ohio because you remember, 222 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.000 it was just what the federal government was going to 223 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.840 pay for most of the fraud and Ohio I was 224 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.559 going to pick up the rest. The Wine was against 225 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.840 it until five minutes after he got on board because 226 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.879 he saw how much that that federal. 227 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.399 Money could grow. 228 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:31.600 Ohio the Ohio state budget. 229 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:37.720 And after two terms, he continued to facilitate the fraud 230 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.200 back on the back of the federal tax payers, which 231 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:42.720 is still everybody listening. 232 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.519 Is your FICA blind. 233 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.960 Item, not the Ohio state tax, but your fight attacks 234 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.039 is what paid for it all. Now he's going to 235 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.480 get serious about cleaning it up. And the only reason 236 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.000 he's cleaning it up is because the Big Beautiful Bill 237 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.480 says that we're going to get people off of Medicaid 238 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.320 who are able bodied and we're to cut back on SNAP. 239 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.799 So now he's acting like he's cleaning it up, where 240 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:09.039 all he's doing is being is following whatever is going 241 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.639 on in DC. If the Big Beautiful Bill wasn't going 242 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.600 to clean up Medicaid, don't kid yourself. The Ohio Republican 243 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.919 Party wouldn't either. If the Big Beautiful Bill wasn't cleaning 244 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.279 up Snap, the Ohio Republican Party wouldn't change a damn thing. 245 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:26.080 And it's laughable. 246 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.840 So I think Musk is dead on and I would 247 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.759 love to hear what the vic Ramaswami if he would 248 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:38.080 be the first Republican governor out of three to take. 249 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.919 This on and not follow Washington's lead. 250 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.960 And just a reminder, the amount of the amount of 251 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:47.240 money that Ohio pays for Medicaid forty some billion dollars 252 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.480 a year. I think it's forty eight billion dollars a year. 253 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.559 That's what Pennsylvania funds their entire state, A blue state, 254 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:59.720 damn near communist state, with a Democrat governor, a Democrat Senate, 255 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.279 and Republican House. They run their whole state with a 256 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.799 larger GDP, a bigger economy than Ohio. They run their 257 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.519 whole damn. 258 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.679 State on what Ohio pays were Medicaid. 259 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.720 And well to think about that, Well, the one thing 260 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.240 you have to observe in the dirty secret that looms 261 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.960 in the background of all this. And I think this 262 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:21.559 is Obama's brainchild in expanding Medicaid to include all of 263 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.679 these able bodied adults otherwise wouldn't be eligible for a 264 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.720 program that was designed to serve the very needy. Is 265 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.679 that Medicaid is going to be ultimately the universal health 266 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.240 care for the whole all of America. Bengo, that's the goal, Medicaid, 267 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.600 not Medicare, Medicaid for all. 268 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.000 He got his single payer to your point, your dead 269 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.919 spot on he wanted a single payer, couldn't get it, 270 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.240 but he did get it through Medicaid and by Republican 271 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.600 horror governors like Mickey Mouse. The wine that went along 272 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.879 with it, and so yeah, Musk is right. It is 273 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.759 one big unit party. And when it comes down to it, 274 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.399 as long as the governments, long as the federal government's 275 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.440 paying for it, there's no morals, there's no fiscal responsibility 276 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.919 in the Ohio Republican Party. There were some better states 277 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.440 that told Obama, go pound Sand We're not taking it. 278 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.360 We know what you're up to. 279 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.120 Unfortunately, Ohio wasn't one of those better states. 280 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.559 And I don't understand the financial logic behind it, Jay, 281 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.600 I really don't. I mean, the federal government shortage shouldering 282 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.600 the burden for the vast majority of the Medicaid recipients 283 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.480 under the expansion whatever. I don't know how that benefits 284 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.559 Ohio financially. It just allows them to expand a program 285 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.759 that they have no obligation to fund primarily, but how 286 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:44.159 does that make Ohio improve Ohio's fiscal situation? 287 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.480 You had a guest on Man, and I wish I 288 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.399 could remember who it was that explained it that it 289 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.440 grew the Ohio offers, the size of the budget was 290 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:59.000 able to grow for other things. Maybe because they paid 291 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.159 ninety percent only paid ten and there were some other kickbacks, 292 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:05.279 some other funds coming into Ohio, and I wish I 293 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.880 could remember who it was laid it out and I 294 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.079 could have written it down. But but but what I 295 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.319 was the takeaway was that there was more spending for 296 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.119 more stuff and things for the wine and in the 297 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.880 Ohio Republican Party because they took the fraud and on 298 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.799 the back of the rest of us, on the back 299 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.079 of the federal taxpayers, on the back of Ohio, they 300 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.720 were able to get more money into the Ohio budget. 301 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.640 But I cannot remember how to connect the dots. But 302 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:32.720 I'll see if I could dig into that. 303 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.559 Yeah, you know what, I vaguely remember that conversation, But honestly, Jay, 304 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.400 it's like I can't remember what it did five minutes 305 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.400 ago most days, and with all the guests I have 306 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.680 on and all the information, I don't know your recollection 307 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.440 is accurate. It's just I can't put my finger on 308 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.920 or i'd go back into the podcast pages the archives 309 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.880 there and try to find that. But yeah, anyway, bottom 310 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.279 line is why would you expand that program period? End 311 00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.720 of story? And then the answer exists out there somewhere 312 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.920 in the world, But it certainly isn't a conservative thing 313 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.319 to do. And I think paying it back and turning 314 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.480 the program back into what it was originally intended to be, 315 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.000 which is something that serves the very critically needy. Is 316 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.240 the effort is the right direction to go. 317 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.799 So yeah, well he didn't do it. Bottom line is, no, 318 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:18.799 he didn't do it. 319 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:21.000 He's following the leader. 320 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.960 And if they at the federal level, if they weren't 321 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.519 going to reform this, this medicaid and snap, he wouldn't 322 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:28.319 have done a damn thing. 323 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.759 They don't buy into it. 324 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.599 No, there's no buying into anything. I agree with you 325 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.400 completely on that. Plus, he's got one foot out the 326 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:39.119 door anyway. Vive Ramaswami will be our next governor. I 327 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.240 think we can look forward to that. Jay, appreciate it. Man, 328 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.000 always enjoy hearing from you. By twenty six, right now, 329 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.319 I've got local stories or more phone calls. It's up 330 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.240 to you to decide the direction we go. But I'll 331 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:50.440 be right back after these words. 332 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:51.839 Fifty five KRC. 333 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:58.119 John nine says, good showers this morning, and it's going 334 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.200 to go up to eighty four today with sky is 335 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.440 clearing up at least by around dinner time. 336 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.680 Overnight lois seventy two with clouds. 337 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.039 Wednesday's going to be mostly sunny, less humid eighty five 338 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.359 degrees for the high clear every night sixty four and 339 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.359 on Thursday, mostly sunny day again.

Ag Yost announced the 353 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.720 indictments yesterday as part of the US Department to Justice's 354 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.880 National health care fraud takedown.

So I think, 377 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.759 you know the most important game would be that so 378 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.920 to shrink this size of this pot of money, and 379 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.200 whatever we got to do to do that, I'm not 380 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:26.480 I'm not claiming to be smart enough to have the 381 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.279 answers to exactly how to do that. But we we 382 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.319 gotta we gotta have less money available to the to 383 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.160 the government, less money to hand out uh as as 384 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.000 free bes or whatever. And you better have a damn 385 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.640 good reason if you if you feel like you need 386 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.759 government assistance from whatever government level you're trying to get 387 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.039 it from. But yeah, there's still the there's still the 388 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:55.160 idea that this is a bottomless pot of money, that 389 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.000 that that comes from all these these different levels of government, 390 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.559 and it's just not true. And we are just spending 391 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.440 ourselves into oblivion. And who knows, Maybe it's the holes 392 00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.559 too deep, I don't know, but it seems that way. 393 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.279 It's like, well, you know, you're a part of the 394 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.319 problem is and we're finding this out. I mean, I 395 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.359 got a story to talking about fourteen point six billion 396 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:20.559 dollar Medicare fraud. They just announced this yesterday that it 397 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:25.160 involves a multiple three hundred plus defendants fourteen point six 398 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.440 billion dollars. And when you read the details of what 399 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:28.119 they were able to do. 400 00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:29.279 There isn't. 401 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.279 I mean, I guess criminals and frankly, you know, I'd 402 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.920 like to use SCC non compliant words. They figured out 403 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.279 that there is no oversight. The program's so damn big 404 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.960 that it's impossible to ferret out fraud, waste and abuse. 405 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.039 So why not tap into it. 406 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.680 It's easy to rip the government off because they're not 407 00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.119 following where the dollars are going. This is something that 408 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.519 Doge was looking into with USAD. You know, look, how 409 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:54.720 where did that money go? Did it actually do anything? 410 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:55.720 We don't know? 411 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.000 I mean there in lies the challenge. There's way too 412 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.960 much government period, end of story. But because it's so 413 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:05.759 colossal in size and it's fuel by our taxpayer dollars 414 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:09.160 that no one bothers to account for, guess what, You're 415 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.119 gonna have a ton of fraud, waste and abuse. 416 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.200 Well, what's what's the old story? 417 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:14.599 How do you? 418 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.400 How do you eat an elephant one one by at 419 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:17.799 a time? 420 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:19.400 Yep, something like that. 421 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:21.799 You just gotta just gotta do one thing at a time, 422 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.319 just keep chipping away at it. And for God's says, 423 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.119 don't vote Democrat. Have a great day. 424 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:31.599 Thanks Tom. They knew that was coming at some point. Yeah, but. 425 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.960 That's a good point. You got to telegraph for the 426 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:38.960 rest of the world that we're not going to abide 427 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:40.720 the fraud, waste, and abuse, so that we are going 428 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.839 to hold out these people as illustrations of the prosecutions 429 00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:46.160 and the criminal convictions that you will face if you 430 00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.480 engage in similar conduct.

And 520 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:21.119 in one of his primary targets about city violence is 521 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.519 the fact that UH city council in the mayor never 522 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.519 speak out loud about it.

He've viewed that as 525 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.640 like sort of a defund the police, sort of revelations, 526 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:38.440 like we all know what's on their mind, what they 527 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:43.200 really would prefer to do anyhow, over the stack of stupid. 528 00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.880 McLain County, Illinois, a woman in Illinois accused of grooming 529 00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:50.559 a fifteen year old child even after a protective order 530 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:55.279 was put in place. Do what the hell, she's thirty 531 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.279 three years old. We're talking about a fifteen year old 532 00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:02.960 here charged with grooming. A court hearing last week, prosecutor 533 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.359 said Mills Jessica Mills, who's thirty three, had contact with 534 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.680 the team despite their being a protective order forbidding her 535 00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:13.279 from having any contact with the child. On one occasion 536 00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.960 of March this year, the teenager was found hiding under 537 00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.079 a bed in a motel room where the two were 538 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:26.720 staying together. What are your children doing right now? Months later, 539 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.680 the team that allegedly had sexually explicit videos of Mills 540 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:35.599 and they shared inappropriate text messages. Well there's a red flag. 541 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.440 And just every time, I can't let this go by 542 00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:47.359 and not comment on the absolute outright not only stupidity 543 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.480 of getting involved with a fifteen year old as a 544 00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:52.960 thirty three year old adult or any other adult, but 545 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:55.200 the idea that you would record this on video and 546 00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:56.880 then think it's not going to get shared to the 547 00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.559 rest of the world. 548 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:01.200 Yeah, because it is. 549 00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:06.039 It's just like, come on, man, it's twenty twenty five 550 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.839 and kids have not changed. Now, bet it was the 551 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.680 fifteen year old that showed video to other people, and 552 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:18.160 that's how it became something on somebody's radar. God, well, 553 00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.599 aren't we all glad and please that they're so blank 554 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:25.000 and stupid. While Mills was held in jail for violating 555 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.720 the protection order, the prosecutor said she allegedly made phone 556 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:31.119 calls from jail talking about her relationship with the teenager. 557 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.119 She fled not guilty to the felony charge of judge 558 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.839 granted the state's petition to keep her in jail before 559 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.880 her trial grooming class four felony. She could get one 560 00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:48.440 to three years in prison or only probation. Of course, 561 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:58.400 that's an option. And similar yet unrelated news, former teacher 562 00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:00.799 at a Michigan charter school allegedly had said sexual relationship 563 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.400 with a sixteen year old student told a colleague about it. 564 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.880 Why are you doing that? 565 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.480 Joslyn Sandraman twenty six years old charge of thirty degree 566 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:14.599 sexual contact. Sexual relationship happened at twenty twenty three, when 567 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.039 she was a teacher at the oak Side Prep Academy 568 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.039 outside of Detroit. She had not been a rain as 569 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:24.559 a Monday morning, but her mugshot was posted by deputies 570 00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:31.240 in Oakland County Signeran told another teacher about her sexual 571 00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.880 relationship with a teenage boy, and that teacher then reported 572 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:40.160 her to the police. Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald quote 573 00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.440 is this defendant is accused of using her position of 574 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.799 authority to exploit a minor victim. These allegations to represent 575 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.599 the ultimate breach of trust placed in educators and parents 576 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.880 in the community. As a former teacher myself, I applaud 577 00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.440 the teacher who contacted at least about this situation, protecting 578 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:58.920 our students from further exploitation. Now, she did say, the 579 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:05.200 prosecutor said of a sixteen year old can consent, but 580 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.160 it's not the same when the traation relationship with the teacher. 581 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.200 Cordner's statements because we need to make school the safest 582 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.039 place we can be for kids right safe from gun violence, 583 00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:17.680 safe from assault, safe from sexual assault. School is supposed 584 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:20.680 to be someplace where your kids feel safe. If convicted, 585 00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:25.640 she could face up to fifteen years in prison. School 586 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:34.160 of Fishes call the allegations troubling.

I know Chuck 598 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.599 Ingram did a traffic and just disappeared in the system somewhere. 599 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.440 It's just stay tuned for a crack.

He sat in his post on Facebook, 613 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.400 I was in a rush to bring items to my 614 00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:21.039 grandmother in the hospital. The store didn't have bags, and 615 00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:25.559 I was juggling multiple purchases. Whatever, Thank you, Liam, That's 616 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.599 exactly what I was thinking. Joe issued a misdemeanor summons 617 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:33.960 for his sixth degree a sixth degree larceny. Bethel Police 618 00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.599 summary was arrestedated that he was detained by Target loss 619 00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.599 prevention personnel who told police they recognized them from quote 620 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:49.119 previous unreported larcenies close quote a recidivist arrested after police 621 00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:51.519 reviewed security video was showing him attempting to leave the 622 00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.840 store with just under twenty seven dollars in unpaid merchandise. 623 00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:59.480 No additional details on the summary. Ali Brennan, thirty three 624 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.679 four lawmaker first elected in twenty eighteen, did not respond 625 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.760 to requests for comment from local news there beyond his 626 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:11.400 statement on social media, which did not address the accusations 627 00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:17.280 of prior larcenies. He said on Facebook, while I do 628 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.239 not have a record, I take full responsibility for the 629 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.679 error and I'm working through the legal process to resolve 630 00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:29.559 the matter quickly and respectfully. Now you know, I'm thinking 631 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:30.480 about self checkout. 632 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:30.840 You got it. 633 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.119 Let's see you have arms full of stuff because they 634 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:35.360 didn't have like a cart or bag or something. 635 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:36.480 Don't you put all that. 636 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:39.039 Stuff down and then scan items one at a time, 637 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:43.679 making it virtually impossible, if not literally impossible, to accidentally. 638 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:44.960 Not scan some of the items. 639 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:48.639 Now, who can argue with that? 640 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:52.360 This is creepy. 641 00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:58.400 Michigan family described as terrified and for the ring camera 642 00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.760 captured a masked man standing at their door, and this 643 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:08.119 has happened multiple times. Hater Nebille said he bought a 644 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.920 ring camera after a scary incident which someone came to 645 00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:15.280 his house and banged on the windows and doors. So 646 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:17.639 within about a week and a half since buying the camera, 647 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:21.360 he's caught a suspicious person on camera multiple times at 648 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.840 his home in Dearborne Heights, Michigan. Nebill said, a guy 649 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:27.400 with a black ski mask started banging on the door. 650 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.400 We got that on footage and he ran and then 651 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:35.639 this time it was an orange mask. Nebill said he's 652 00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.519 not worried about this being a targeted attack because he 653 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:40.880 said there's no reason anyone would have a problem with 654 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:43.800 his mom or his younger siblings, but he's it's scaring 655 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:47.519 the family, of course. Deerborne Heights Police said the disturbing 656 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:50.280 behavior happening at other homes in the neighborhood as well. 657 00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.920 According to Bill, they did tell us that there was 658 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.599 another occurrence in the neighborhood. That's at least what they 659 00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:58.159 told us. That it's been happening to other people. So 660 00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:00.639 I don't think this is a targeting thing. I think 661 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:02.840 it's just some teenagers messing around and thinking they're funny. 662 00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:05.960 It's good way to get killed. Though I'm not suggesting 663 00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:09.000 for a moment that this justifies the use of a firearm. 664 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:11.760 Someone banging on your doors and windows is not something 665 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.039 that you know is justifiable for use of a deadly force. 666 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:18.000 But there are people out there unfamiliar with the law 667 00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:20.800 who might believe that it is a situation where they 668 00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:26.840 can use deadly force. It's like that TikTok inspired trend 669 00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:32.679 where kids are kicking in front doors. You know, breaking 670 00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.960 and entering might be a justification for use of deadly force. 671 00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.280 Do you have a conversation with your children about that? 672 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:39.559 One? 673 00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:46.400 Uh Former Underscore Score jewelry store manager in the United 674 00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.639 Kingdom sentenced to twenty eight months in prison after posting 675 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:55.360 selfies wearing stolen merchandise and sending them to her co workers. 676 00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.960 Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. 677 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.679 Jewelry store manager Lucy Roberts thirty nine, frequently took jewelry 678 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:08.679 home jewelry speak it right, Brian home with her during 679 00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:11.360 the year as she worked at a high end jewelry 680 00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:15.000 shop corn To police, she told suspicious coworkers she was, 681 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.840 in her words, conducting work at home and sorting stock 682 00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:21.000 for the workshop. 683 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:23.639 Yeah, exactly. 684 00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:29.079 Only when Roberts quit went on vacation that her colleagues 685 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:33.800 realized where the jewelry went. She began sending her former 686 00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:38.039 coworkers selfies from a cruise ship decked out in items 687 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:40.360 that had been, in fact taken from the shop. Why 688 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.800 are you doing that, Detective Sergeant Christa Wilkinson the statement, 689 00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:46.599 without care in the world, dripping in diamonds, thinking she 690 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:52.280 had deceived everybody. Police found thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, 691 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:56.119 they say, pounds of course, strewn around in boxes, beneath 692 00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:59.880 the bed and in cupboards. After searching her home in total, 693 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.400 she stole more than one hundred and seventy thousand dollars 694 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:05.840 in diamonds, gold, silver, and bespoke jewelry, as well as cash. 695 00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:08.639 Police said. 696 00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:11.559 Roberts initially denied she had stolen any stock from the employer, 697 00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.760 insisting that she had borrowed some of the jewelry from 698 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:18.719 a coworker and that they planted the other items in 699 00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:24.639 her bags. Whatever, that's a stretch, but later entered a 700 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.320 guilty p plea for theft by an employee, netting her 701 00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.519 twenty eight months in prison.

Vvek at seven thirty Inside s 740 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.280 Coop with bright Bart News Fast forward to eight oh five. 741 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:24.840 Bradley J. 742 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:28.159 Brightbart, Deputy news director and former Capitol hal staffer, on 743 00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.960 the big beautiful bill, which is still currently being debated. 744 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:33.159 What I hear at the top of the our news 745 00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:40.440 progress is a very elusive thing. Yeah, uh, and absolutely 746 00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:47.480 zero confidence right now that it's going to pass. Going 747 00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:52.440 back to Elon Musk's comments that we really are under 748 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:56.679 the control of basically what amounts to a uniparty. Both 749 00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:59.639 sides just spend way too much. Although you know, someone 750 00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:03.360 made a valid point about his criticism. This reconciliation bill 751 00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:05.599 is not the place where you can deal with the 752 00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:09.719 stuff that Doge was looking into. I mean, it is 753 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:10.960 an insane spending bill. 754 00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:11.639 He says. 755 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:14.079 The America Party will be formed the day after it 756 00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:16.119 gets signed into law, if in fact it does get 757 00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:20.320 signed into law. But this bill, because it's under reconciliation, 758 00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:24.440 cannot legally include cuts to discretionary spending, which is what 759 00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:28.079 the Elon Musk Doge initiative was looking after. So there's 760 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.480 a qualification there. I embrace Elon Musk's criticism of the 761 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:33.000 size of the scope of government, the fact that we 762 00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:37.039 basically do live in a uniparty, but to the extent 763 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:41.320 you want to cut out ridiculous like shrimp on Treadmill's programs, 764 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.480 or you know, transgender Sesame Street or whatever the hell 765 00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.519 else he identified, this apparently is not the place to 766 00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:49.159 do it, nor is it the place to do a 767 00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:51.519 lot of things that they endeavored to do before the 768 00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:55.679 parliamentarian yanked them out, claiming that they were not they 769 00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.280 didn't qualify into the reconciliation concepts anyway. It's a lot 770 00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.239 like the Piece of God. So inside scoop at eight 771 00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:03.920 o five and then maybe we'll actually have something done 772 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.559 by eight h five. Daniel Davis Deep dive The latest 773 00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:10.320 on Russia Ukraine. Russia putting a whole bunch of new 774 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.440 troops in Ukraine fifty thousand, outnumbering the Ukrainian troops three 775 00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:21.519 to one, and the casualties are mounting. Plus the latest 776 00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:26.000 on Iran in Israel, most notably the Fatwah that that 777 00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:32.320 crazy fundamentalist Muslim guy put on President Trump and President 778 00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:34.599 of Prime Minister Net Yahoo. 779 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:39.119 Anyhow, I wanted to get this in. 780 00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:44.440 You know, I appreciate the editorial page of the Wall 781 00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:46.800 Street Journal a lot, and I make some great points. 782 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:50.360 And today I'm going to focus on Matthew Hennessy's Capitalism 783 00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:54.920 needs champions comments because they're really important, I think. But 784 00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:58.199 in the background of this, I'm going back to New 785 00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:03.880 York in this crazy Kami that has gotten the nomination 786 00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:11.679 for mayor and Mom Donnie. He's a communist. He's on 787 00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:14.840 record as saying he is. Now he tries to deny it, 788 00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.920 and you know, you get the PolitiFact, you know, fact 789 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.159 checkers out there saying that's not true. But there's a 790 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:23.920 twenty twenty one clipped out resurfaced yes, of course, twenty 791 00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:29.239 twenty one Young Democrats Socialist of America conference where he 792 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.079 argues that the purpose of the entire project is quote 793 00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:36.880 not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism 794 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:41.599 and elected leaders who are unapologetic about socialism. 795 00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:42.079 Like him. 796 00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:45.119 He probably embraces it. It's a big giant sign over 797 00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:47.280 the back of his head. I am a socialist. But 798 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:57.559 he's beyond that because he said the end goal is 799 00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:04.760 seizing the means of production. That's plain flat out communism 800 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:09.519 when the state controls the means of production. His words, 801 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:11.400 not mine. I'm not putting them in his mouth, just 802 00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:14.679 telling me what they've got there. So pivoting over to 803 00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:18.719 Matthew Hennessy, he says, let zoron mam Donnie's victory last 804 00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:22.039 week's Democratic Mary primary in New York service your periodic 805 00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:26.960 reminder that capitalism is in dire need of able defenders. 806 00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:30.960 Socialism has more cheerleaders than it deserves, considering its record 807 00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:36.199 of consistent failure. Markets need champions too. This is always true, 808 00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:40.679 especially now. If he thought soft headed notions about inequality 809 00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.159 and making the rich pay their fair share would die 810 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:46.039 out as dinosaurs like Bernie Sanders faded from the scene, 811 00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:49.039 you should know by now how wrong you were. The 812 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:51.840 eighty three year old Vermont senator isn't fading. He's still 813 00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:55.719 jetting around the country barking about oligarchs and exploitation. In 814 00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:59.800 Representative Alexandria Casio Cortez and mister mom Donni. He has 815 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:05.360 talented and energetic errors. They'll be around for decades. Believers 816 00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:07.880 in free markets and free people need us strap in. 817 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.760 The adversary is formidable, young, good looking, social media savvy. 818 00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.679 It's going to be a long, exhausting fight in this 819 00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:22.960 twilight struggle, the truth has an advantage. Socialism is incompatible 820 00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:26.480 with human nature. People are driven to build, to invest, 821 00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:31.719 to strive and be productive, to pursue their own families 822 00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:34.840 well being above all. It's something I say all the time. 823 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:36.559 The fools is the one that's not looking out for 824 00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:41.440 his or her own best interests. That's human nature. Socialism 825 00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:47.239 subverts these impulses. It requires coercion to achieve anything resembling success. 826 00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:52.320 It's an intellectual lab leak. Misery follows wherever it's tried. 827 00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:56.480 Yet each generation somehow produces naves who are certain that 828 00:46:56.559 --> 00:46:59.400 collectivism is the true longing of the human heart. 829 00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.440 They know they can make it work. This time. 830 00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:06.159 Young voters who supported mister Mumdonmie were primed by their 831 00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:10.800 expensive educations to buy his line that capitalism is rigged 832 00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.880 in favor of the rich. All they've ever been told 833 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:18.239 by teachers, professors, TV and TikTok is that markets are inhumane. 834 00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:22.239 Capitalism is rapacious and bad for the climate. They may 835 00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:26.400 never have heard a single word of the contrary. This 836 00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:31.599 is a failure of education. Yes, basic economics is rarely 837 00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.280 taught in high school or required in college. But it's 838 00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.639 equally a failure of public relations. Who's making a sustaining, 839 00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:42.079 coherent public case for American style capitalism. The field's wide open. 840 00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:47.079 We need a new Milton Friedman and Thomas Soules. The 841 00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:53.559 product itself isn't the problem. Free markets have made life better, healthier, 842 00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:57.880 and more prosperous in demonstrable ways for billions of people. 843 00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:01.280 Anti capitalists on both left and right struggle to make 844 00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.440 a serious case that things are worse now than they 845 00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:05.320 were one hundred or one hundred and fifty years ago. 846 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:10.360 Take a moment to imagine life without washing machines or chemotherapy. 847 00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:16.840 Competitive markets foster innovation and allocate resources with remarkable efficiency. 848 00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:20.400 They work even when markets come up shorter or create 849 00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:24.719 externalities like pollution. The incredible wealth they generate can be 850 00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:27.119 used to fill the gaps. That's another point I made 851 00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:28.880 many times over the years. You know you deal with 852 00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:34.079 pollution when you become a wealthy nation. It takes wealth 853 00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:42.719 to clean up period. Anyway, when socialism fails, as it 854 00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:47.559 inevitably does, the only option is brutality. This always gets 855 00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:50.719 glossed over on MSNBC and CNN. I'd like to hear 856 00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.280 mister mom Domi explain how he plans to keep New 857 00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:59.159 Yorkers captive when his experiment goes south. Markets are more 858 00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:01.719 than efficient, which would be an argument enough in a 859 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:06.599 head to head competition with socialism. They're also moral. Markets 860 00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:12.760 enable willing and mutually beneficial exchange among free people. They 861 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:16.079 abominate coercion. They encourage a belief that tomorrow will be 862 00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:18.800 better than today, no one will bother investing apps in 863 00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:23.119 and expectation that it will pay off. Capitalism is synonymous 864 00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:27.880 with confidence in the future. No, the problem isn't capitalism. 865 00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:32.159 The problem is complacency. Capitalists take too much for granted. 866 00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:34.480 They assume the product is so good that it will 867 00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:40.960 sell itself. Mister mom Donnie's victory shows otherwise. The world 868 00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:44.119 is full of capitalists who don't realize what they are. 869 00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.440 The owner operator of a Corner Deli is no less 870 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:51.039 a capitalist than Jeff Bezos. Most capitalists go about their 871 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:54.599 business quietly. By serving customers' needs, they do more for 872 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:58.880 society's overall well being than any charity. They should be celebrated, 873 00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:03.840 not vilified. Politicians vining to lead cities built on business 874 00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:08.519 ought to understand and respect market forces. Capital is mobile 875 00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:12.559 and it goes where it's treated well. There are no 876 00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:18.519 walls around Wall Street market Thatcher correctly diagnosed socialism's inherent defect. 877 00:50:18.840 --> 00:50:23.119 Eventually you run out of other people's money. Mister mom 878 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:26.039 Damie seems committed to teaching eight point two million New 879 00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:34.239 Yorkers this lesson the hard way. My appeal, not mine, 880 00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:38.320 Matthew Hennessy. Again, props and credits isn't to tech gurus 881 00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:43.159 and investment bankers. It's to all the everyday capitalists in 882 00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:46.199 New York and beyond, the striving small business owners and 883 00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:50.360 sole proprietors who are building something of value where nothing 884 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:57.199 existed before. If you believe in free markets, speak up, amen, 885 00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:58.280 Matthew Hennessy. 886 00:50:59.119 --> 00:50:59.480 Amen. 887 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:02.920 You know, and the one thing about this crazy Mom 888 00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:08.000 Dami comedy guy is it's this kind of conversation that 889 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:13.320 springs from the reality that he won the primary. And 890 00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:16.199 I will emphasize and hold in my belief heart of 891 00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:18.079 arts that you know the fact that only less than 892 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.559 thirty percent of New York voters even bothered to show up. 893 00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:25.280 It's those committed crazies that Matthew Hennessy's writing about, these 894 00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:29.880 committed socialists that have no concept of economics or economic reality, 895 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:31.960 supply and demand, the fact that we all sort of 896 00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:34.679 inherently look out for our own best interests, which is 897 00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:42.679 what drives the world. They're true believers, they're the useful idiots. 898 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:45.639 But I mean, you know, you only have to look 899 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:47.800 back at COVID and the financial reality is going on 900 00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:50.239 the state of New York. People left because they are 901 00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:55.519 taxed and regulated to hell and back. Once people were 902 00:51:55.599 --> 00:51:59.679 given the option, and so many big businesses unplugged from 903 00:51:59.880 --> 00:52:03.360 New York and moved to like Boka Raton, Florida. That 904 00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.559 article I read the other day, the mayor down there 905 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:08.119 appealing to all the rich New Yorkers come on down. 906 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:09.000 The water's fine. 907 00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.760 At least he's prompting an analysis, and maybe he'll prompt 908 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:17.599 the Democrat Party to quit going further and further left. 909 00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:22.079 Although you know that ultimately maybe completely its end. I 910 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:27.400 can only pray for that day. It's crazy, what's going 911 00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.039 on there. Six seventeen fifty five k SE detalk station 912 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:37.480 speaking of businesses who make life better. Zimmer Heating and 913 00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.239 air Conditioning. It's time of year man, with the heat 914 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:42.360 and humidity out there.

You'll find it right there on the 966 00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.079 podcast page. Of course, he was talking about crime. The 967 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.000 silence from the mayor and the console people are deafening 968 00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:13.280 when it comes to crime. More crime over last night, 969 00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:19.239 one dead, five hurt in Cincinnati's shootings, English Woods, Winton Hills, 970 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:25.360 among others. My friend Maureen Florida. More shootings last night 971 00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:27.159 in this month, they out of town guests for my 972 00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:29.639 daughter's upcoming wedding or telling me that they are hearing 973 00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:33.360 bad things about downtown Cincinnati and wanted no where to 974 00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:38.519 stay outside of the city limits. Well's I think that's 975 00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:40.639 exactly why the I have to have provol and the 976 00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:42.480 council people don't say anything. They want to give you 977 00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:45.239 this perception that everything's hunky dory, fine and dandy, and 978 00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:47.960 it's not. I mean police chief threats that Thiji came 979 00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:51.280 out yesterday and said crime is up twenty seven percent. Yeah, 980 00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:54.760 I mean he gets undeniable. There are still local news 981 00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:57.159 out there reporting the realities there is. You know, the 982 00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.199 police calls are monitored and heard. You know, when the 983 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:02.719 police shut down a street like they did overnight to 984 00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:04.280 deal with one of these shootings, the rest of the 985 00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:06.840 general public finds out about it and it gets reported on. 986 00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.840 So just because counsel and the mayor don't come out 987 00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.320 and talk about it, doesn't mean it's not going on 988 00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.280 out there, and people don't well, people fully appreciate what's 989 00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:19.719 going on in their own neighborhoods. That's like said you said, Christopher, 990 00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:27.000 talking about that yesterday, Hio Republican Party chairman Alex Chairantifilo heard. 991 00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:28.320 I guess you don't know if he's listened to me, 992 00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:30.039 but he got a hold of the same article another 993 00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:33.320 bloody night in Cincinnati said that it's not just Cincinnati. 994 00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:35.320 As I make this post from Columbus, they have the 995 00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:39.800 same problems. We need more cops, more jails, and longer sentences, 996 00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:43.320 and that tail point is one of the problems we 997 00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.480 have in the justice system. I think the police officers 998 00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:49.079 would round more people up and arrest them for the 999 00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:52.559 crimes they've committed, like curfew violations, if they thought the 1000 00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:56.840 justice system would actually deal with them accordingly and meet 1001 00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:59.960 out harsh punishments. As a warning to every other person, 1002 00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:06.880 soon you might commit similar offenses. Don't do this, he says. 1003 00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:09.760 The problem can be solved or severely mitigated if we 1004 00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:12.760 had the courage to identify and lock away people who 1005 00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:17.599 cannot and should not live among people who follow societal rules. Instead, 1006 00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:20.679 we tolerate in an unacceptable amount of violence crime in Mayhem. 1007 00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:23.719 There should be no such thing as a bad neighborhood. 1008 00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.480 I naively believe there's hope that one day our society 1009 00:57:27.559 --> 00:57:32.079 tires of the fear and the killings and steps up 1010 00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:34.119 to the plate and starts prosecuting people to the fullest 1011 00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:35.639 extent of the law, rather than just giving them a 1012 00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:41.639 free pass. You have to have deterrence, I mean the 1013 00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:44.800 idea that you're going to be rehabilitated in prison. That 1014 00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:46.880 used to be one of the tenets of the criminal 1015 00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:48.840 justice system. I think we can all laugh at the 1016 00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:51.519 reality of that. Basically, you're hanging out with other criminals 1017 00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:54.880 and learning more criminal behavior, but in so far as 1018 00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:58.800 a deterrence effect. You know, why have you personally not 1019 00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:02.119 committed crime? Is it because of your religion, your morals, 1020 00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:04.599 your ethics, or is it because you're afraid of going 1021 00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:10.280 to jail. Maybe a combination of all the above. But 1022 00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:13.480 fear of going to jail and getting a record has 1023 00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:19.480 always kept me and my nose clean six twenty six 1024 00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:24.119 fifty five care see detalk station. Maybe I need to 1025 00:58:24.159 --> 00:58:29.599 get over to Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Exhale, relax, pray 1026 00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:34.239 and meditate. So why not reflect at Gate of Heaven 1027 00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:37.360 Catholic Cemetery. That's well, it's a great place for that, 1028 00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:39.800 And of course to a loved one, you mean, you 1029 00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:42.000 ever reading, it's a place if they're choosing that direction, 1030 00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:45.440 you might want to consider it, most notably if you're Catholic. 1031 00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:47.719 I'm not, by the way, but I still know it 1032 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:48.519 to be a beautiful place. 1033 00:58:48.559 --> 00:58:48.920 It's right. 1034 00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:50.599 It's very close to where I live, and I drive 1035 00:58:50.679 --> 00:58:52.800 by Gate of Heaven every single day and it's just 1036 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:57.639 absolutely gorgeous.

Deputies investigated a double fatal crash took 1125 01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:51.599 place in Rushville on Saturday evening. Franklin County Sheriff's Deputies 1126 01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:54.280 were dispatched to the area of the twenty seven thousand, 1127 01:03:54.360 --> 01:03:57.719 two hundred West Chapel Road quarter to seven pm for 1128 01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:00.159 report of a serious injury crash involving a vehicle that 1129 01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:01.199 had driven into. 1130 01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:04.280 A pole, tree and home. 1131 01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:08.920 According to the Sheriff's Department, deputies determined that seven Chevy 1132 01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:11.199 and Paula was going westbound and West Chapel Road at 1133 01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:13.159 a high rate of speed when it crested the hill 1134 01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:17.480 went airborne. It landed, caused damage to the roadway, and 1135 01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:19.639 then veered off the north side of the road, crossed 1136 01:04:19.679 --> 01:04:22.320 the south side and then hit a utility pole, then 1137 01:04:22.519 --> 01:04:24.880 continued into a grass area where it hit a tree 1138 01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:29.360 and became airborne again before hitting the home on Westchapel Road. 1139 01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:33.920 Emergency cruise erride they found a driver and the passenger dead. 1140 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:38.039 Deputies identified the driver as forty nine year old Robert 1141 01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:41.920 William Leo Dunham of Oldenburg, passenger of fifty one year 1142 01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:46.400 old Jesse Brummitt Junior of Sundon. Alcohol was found at 1143 01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:49.360 the scene, but toxicology reports are still pending. Alcohol and 1144 01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:51.920 access to speed were likely factors in the crash, according 1145 01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:56.119 to the deputies, but the investigation is ongoing. Jesus Loise 1146 01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:58.400 I think must have been going fast six thirty five 1147 01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:03.519 krc DE talk station. I'm not sure foreign exchange could 1148 01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:06.039 fix that situation, but you've got an import now. Of 1149 01:05:06.079 --> 01:05:11.639 course it wasn't an imported car. I think that one 1150 01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:13.639 was probably total too. But if you get your car 1151 01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:16.320 fix and a traditionally imported manufactured car, get it to 1152 01:05:16.360 --> 01:05:18.719 Foreign Exchange, then go to the west Chester location of 1153 01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:21.559 Foreign Exchange with our imported cars and that's pretty much 1154 01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:22.519 all we've ever bought. 1155 01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:24.760 I'm just a fan. 1156 01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:27.400 And of course, if I go to my dealer, my 1157 01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:29.880 German car is gonna set me back a fortune for 1158 01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:31.960 pretty much anything. If they just stare at it. It 1159 01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.119 costs me like five hundred dollars. But over at Foreign Exchange, 1160 01:05:35.159 --> 01:05:37.199 I've saved lots of money over the years. My wife 1161 01:05:37.239 --> 01:05:39.760 also has a German car.

A matter of fact, he's getting ready 1165 01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:51.480 to take it up in there to anytime soon because 1166 01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:53.920 the air conditioning's not working. They'll fix it, that's what 1167 01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:55.599 they do, and they'll fix it for less money than 1168 01:05:55.639 --> 01:05:57.840 the dealers. And that's what it's all about.

You got any plans for Independence Day, Joe Strecker, No, really. 1209 01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:54.480 I think we're just going to go over to a 1210 01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:57.039 friend's house and enjoy dinner with them. That's the extent 1211 01:07:57.159 --> 01:08:00.440 of our Independence Day celebration. But that's the celebration. Nonetheless, 1212 01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:04.519 we'll be off on Friday for Independence Day. And I 1213 01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:07.480 do note in something unrelated to politics, although it could 1214 01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:10.400 be connected to politics in some fashion. Maybe global warming 1215 01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:13.079 has resulted in a reduction in the available cattle in 1216 01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:16.800 the United States because of col flatulence or something. But 1217 01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:23.239 if you haven't noticed, the price of beef is rather outrageously. 1218 01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:28.079 It's about a record high going on right now. According 1219 01:08:28.079 --> 01:08:31.439 to the American Farm Bureau Federation that tracks these kind 1220 01:08:31.439 --> 01:08:33.760 of things. They estimate the retail price for two pounds 1221 01:08:33.840 --> 01:08:36.520 of ground beef has jumped up to thirteen dollars and 1222 01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:40.079 thirty three cents slash six dollars and sixty seven cents 1223 01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:42.800 a pound, the highest price recorded by them since they 1224 01:08:42.840 --> 01:08:46.119 started looking at these things about a decade plus ago, 1225 01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:50.680 although apparently our demand for beef is not declining. According 1226 01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:54.439 to the author of the survey with the American Farm Bureer, 1227 01:08:54.520 --> 01:09:02.319 there cost to feed ten people cheeseburgers, chicken, other fixings, 1228 01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:04.640 pork and beans, potato salad estimated to be an average 1229 01:09:04.640 --> 01:09:08.319 of seventy dollars and ninety two cents this year, or 1230 01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:10.640 seven dollars and nine cents of person, not including the 1231 01:09:10.680 --> 01:09:16.279 cost of drinks or fireworks. While lowered last year by 1232 01:09:16.359 --> 01:09:19.520 three cents, it's still nineteen percent higher than it was 1233 01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:22.159 five years ago. Yuess inflation has most notably hit the 1234 01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:24.640 food supply, there is no question about it. That's one 1235 01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:26.880 things that I'm actually painfully aware of because I go 1236 01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:31.359 shopping with my wife every weekend. Cattle inventories are at 1237 01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:34.840 their lowest level in seventy five years, at According to 1238 01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:38.880 the Agriculture Department, total cattle herd in the United States 1239 01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:45.600 the lowest since nineteen point fifty one. They blame dry 1240 01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.840 conditions across to Heartland in recent years, although the weather 1241 01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.479 conditions have gotten much better. It's also reported cattle invatories 1242 01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:54.560 have taken a hit from the spread of infestations of 1243 01:09:54.720 --> 01:10:00.960 New World screwworm. Parasitic species of fly which causes myasis, 1244 01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:04.600 lays its eggs and open wounds of any warm blooded animal. 1245 01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:10.319 Fly larva then burrow into the wound, feeding as they go, 1246 01:10:10.560 --> 01:10:12.920 like a screw being driven into wood. According to the 1247 01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:17.479 USDA GEEZ. Thankfully, no case of screwworm infection has yet 1248 01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:20.399 been reported in the United States, but it's working its 1249 01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:23.119 way up from Panama to Mexico, which is one of 1250 01:10:23.159 --> 01:10:26.359 the reasons why Agricultural Secretary Brook Rawins in May announced 1251 01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:31.800 the suspension of cattle imports from Mexico along with other 1252 01:10:31.840 --> 01:10:34.199 preventative measures in order to prevent the spread of screwworm 1253 01:10:34.239 --> 01:10:36.079 here in the United States, which is another reason there's 1254 01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:38.840 less beef available because Mexico apparently is a leading source 1255 01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:43.520 of cattle imports to meet our demand for beef. Canada 1256 01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:47.439 also serves to meet that demand as well. But the 1257 01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:51.720 absence of Mexican feeder cattle apparently is exacerbating our low 1258 01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:54.000 inventory problem we have in the United States, which is 1259 01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:58.560 of course impacting the retail price of beef. But they 1260 01:10:58.600 --> 01:11:02.039 are gradually rebuilt holding the herd here in the United States. 1261 01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:07.079 It was a statement from JBS, which is described as 1262 01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:11.359 almost a monopolistic meat packing giant, moved to rebuild underway, 1263 01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:13.880 a company there warning the meaningful increases in beef's supply 1264 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:16.279 and any relief for you and me in terms of 1265 01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:18.359 the record high retail prices of beef, it will not 1266 01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:22.840 be showing up until at least twenty twenty seven, accorded 1267 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.159 to the CEO of JBS North America, guy named Wesley Bautista, 1268 01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:31.199 FIHO Phil Hooe, we are into herd rebuild right now. 1269 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:34.079 The economic insenators are there, the weather is helping. 1270 01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:38.439 Again. 1271 01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:40.880 Lowest level of beef out there in the United States 1272 01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:47.119 since nineteen fifties, but there's they described the JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill, 1273 01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:49.800 and National Beef control eighty percent of the beef processing 1274 01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:53.279 in the United States. They're having anti trust hearings on 1275 01:11:53.399 --> 01:11:57.880 Capitol Hill on the meatpacker quote unquote monopoly at least 1276 01:11:57.880 --> 01:12:02.760 according to Senator Howley. So apparently the path to rebuilding 1277 01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:06.039 the size of the herd starts with reviving regional microprocessing 1278 01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:09.479 plants across the country, creating a more resilient, decentralized food 1279 01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:13.319 supply chain that is less vulnerable to disruptions. In other words, 1280 01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:21.000 skip the globalist mega supermarkets and instead support local ranchers directly, 1281 01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:22.960 which is something that I think Robert F. Kennedy Junior 1282 01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:27.239 would embrace. Conceptually. Family farms taken a heait, do what 1283 01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:31.840 you can to support them. But I think it's going 1284 01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:35.079 to take these monopolistic mega giants a lot of effort 1285 01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:36.800 to rebuild the size of the herd before you and 1286 01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:38.359 I are going to send me a relief at the 1287 01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:42.079 grocery store.

If you got kr SE he talks station 1327 01:14:42.279 --> 01:14:47.079 Happy Eat Tuesday. Yeah. 1328 01:14:47.159 --> 01:14:49.920 Looking at an argument in the in the centate over 1329 01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:53.439 this big beautiful bill. I hate that anyway. They're just 1330 01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:56.439 arguing and bickering back and forth over all these various amendments. 1331 01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:00.199 Remember it's reconciliation, so it's limited in the scope. So 1332 01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:03.000 while Elon Musk wants to incorporate, you know a lot 1333 01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:05.720 of discretionary spending changes and cut back on it. It's 1334 01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:09.439 not part of the reconciliation process, but they could do 1335 01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:12.680 something to cut and reduce the size and scope of government. 1336 01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:15.680 I agree with him completely on that, and yeah, I 1337 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:18.079 think he's right the porky pig part of the uniparty 1338 01:15:18.079 --> 01:15:21.039 of the United States of America. It's okay to overspend 1339 01:15:21.119 --> 01:15:23.760 as long as it's something that's going to benefit you specifically. 1340 01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:27.319 It's not a concept that you have on one side 1341 01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:29.199 or the other. It's just is it going to impact 1342 01:15:29.239 --> 01:15:31.199 my state? And if it is, then I don't want 1343 01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:34.239 it or I refuse to change it. So they started 1344 01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:37.479 voting on procedural motions yesterday late morning and it's been 1345 01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:42.239 going on since then. As of this morning. Early Senator 1346 01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:44.920 Ron Johnson described the bill as, in his words, still 1347 01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:52.479 in flux. Yeah, heard at the top of the our news. 1348 01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:55.520 Progress is a very elusive thing. I can't remember who 1349 01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:59.479 was given credit for that one, but yeah. He ended 1350 01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:02.239 up sitting down with Lisa Murkowski and they went into 1351 01:16:02.279 --> 01:16:04.800 long discussions with her on the Centate floor. She's been 1352 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:09.159 seeking ways to shield Alaska from the Medicaid and snap 1353 01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:14.199 cuts in the bill and also get a slower phase 1354 01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.199 out of the clean energy tax credits. That was the 1355 01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:19.399 Inflation Reduction Act, which is basically the Big Green Bill. 1356 01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:22.800 All these energy tax credits going to programs that would 1357 01:16:22.840 --> 01:16:25.000 not exist but for the fact that there's tax credits 1358 01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:28.399 there to get them off the ground. Well, she's supposed 1359 01:16:28.399 --> 01:16:32.079 to be a Republican and she comes from Alaska where 1360 01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:35.239 they have an abundance of natural gas and oil, but 1361 01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:37.399 she wants a slower phase out of the clean energy 1362 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:42.359 tax credits. They say, if she can't be moved, and 1363 01:16:42.479 --> 01:16:45.000 she's joined by two other GOP opponents, which will be 1364 01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:51.600 Rand Paul of course one of them. I think that 1365 01:16:51.760 --> 01:16:54.720 there was a couple others who were like were suggesting no, 1366 01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:56.760 ram Paul's been a hard no because of the dead 1367 01:16:56.800 --> 01:16:58.199 ceiling increase. 1368 01:16:58.600 --> 01:16:59.479 But they may. 1369 01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:05.119 They may as a possible way to get Rampaul back 1370 01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:10.680 on board is to get rid of that five trillion 1371 01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:15.000 dollars debt ceiling increase, shrink or eliminate the debt increase 1372 01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:17.159 in the bill, and you get Center to Rampaul on board. 1373 01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:18.960 So that's one way of salvaging the thing. And I 1374 01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:23.079 would have no problem with that, but various GOP factions 1375 01:17:23.119 --> 01:17:27.399 are pushing the bill in their favorite direction, changes to Medicaid, 1376 01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.640 food assistance program like snaps, tax cuts, centrists fighting the 1377 01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:33.880 limit cuts the benefit programs, and potentially reel back changes 1378 01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:37.680 to clean energy tax credits. Fiscal conservatives claiming the bill 1379 01:17:37.760 --> 01:17:40.680 is a great, great opportunity to address the nation's rising debt, 1380 01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:44.800 pushing for deeper spending cuts. See, the problem is inherent 1381 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:47.800 in the system, isn't it. You Republicans can't agree, Democrats 1382 01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:51.239 can't agree. But the one thing you have absolutely four 1383 01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:54.159 certain is Democrats are in full agreement that they're an absolute, 1384 01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:57.000 outright no on this. So are you going to search 1385 01:17:57.079 --> 01:18:02.039 for the perfect sacrifice the good for the sake of 1386 01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:02.640 the perfect? 1387 01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:05.119 I don't know. 1388 01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:07.479 I feel like I'm sitting on the fence on this thing. 1389 01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:11.960 I'm on the side of the fiscal conservatives. It's a 1390 01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:15.520 great opportunity to well reduce these size and scope of spending. 1391 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:18.159 How is it that Republicans will be will be responsible 1392 01:18:18.199 --> 01:18:21.520 for a bill that increases the hole that we've dug 1393 01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:24.119 ourselves in. I mean, the one thing that they used 1394 01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:27.399 to champion all the time was fiscal responsibility. The concept 1395 01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:31.880 has been thrown out the door. It's like the greatest, best, 1396 01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:35.119 brightest opportunity. The Republicans have had to bring about that 1397 01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:41.520 reality a sane spending package, and a lot of them 1398 01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:46.720 refuse to budge on these various issues. Tom Tillis is 1399 01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:48.960 the other absolute firm no one. He's not even gonna 1400 01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:51.760 run for re election. Donald Trump promised the primary him. 1401 01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:56.399 So when Tillos came out in opposition to it because 1402 01:18:56.439 --> 01:18:59.960 of the Medicaid cuts and his concern over rural hospital 1403 01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:02.640 in North Carolina, He's a firm no on the bill period, 1404 01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:07.039 end of story. So how do you placate both wings 1405 01:19:07.159 --> 01:19:10.720 of the party simultaneously. Do you think this thing actually 1406 01:19:10.800 --> 01:19:13.680 has a chance to pass at this juncture? I'm getting Uh, 1407 01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:17.720 I'm skeptical at this point, I really am. And then 1408 01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:20.479 what does the House do with it? I mean, the 1409 01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:22.840 process isn't over if the Senec go's out and passes 1410 01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:23.279 it today. 1411 01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:26.840 Crazy. 1412 01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:31.279 I wish we could all agree on one thing, that 1413 01:19:31.359 --> 01:19:34.279 we have a serious spending problem in this country.

Russia invading more, taking over more land, 1445 01:21:08.319 --> 01:21:10.960 putting more troops there. If you look at the map 1446 01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:15.159 of the amount of territory Russia is now controlling, keeps 1447 01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.279 getting bigger and apparently they outnumber of the Ukrainian troops 1448 01:21:18.399 --> 01:21:22.319 three to one.

All Ron, great guy, and call Streener right, Joe. 1459 01:21:52.680 --> 01:21:55.920 Don't be a jerk or you'll get on the band list. 1460 01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:58.680 Just got one of those band lists. Uh, let us 1461 01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:01.439 see here talking about you know, since they're haggling over 1462 01:22:01.600 --> 01:22:05.000 the side and scope of this this this bill in 1463 01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:07.479 the Senate right now, and going back to one of 1464 01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:10.199 the problems with are going to Senator Ram Paul, for example, 1465 01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:13.319 increasing the debt ceilings five trillion dollars. That's part of it, 1466 01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:14.720 and that's why he's going to be an absolute no 1467 01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:17.960 on it. Maybe they'll get rid of that clause. I 1468 01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:20.239 don't know what the reality is impractical and otherwise might 1469 01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:22.960 be if they do. But five trillion dollars that's a 1470 01:22:23.079 --> 01:22:25.640 lot of additional debt and we can't afford it. And 1471 01:22:25.720 --> 01:22:28.199 Republicans shouldn't be responsible for increasing the size of the 1472 01:22:28.319 --> 01:22:34.319 national debt. But part of the problem we face are 1473 01:22:34.399 --> 01:22:39.680 the ridiculous size of these programs and the fact that 1474 01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:43.319 it is virtually impossible to track out, to track and 1475 01:22:43.399 --> 01:22:45.800 trace all the fraud, waste, and abuse. I give props 1476 01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:48.119 to Elon Musk. I think he said some important things 1477 01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:51.079 the other day about it. I think it was important 1478 01:22:51.119 --> 01:22:53.039 what Doge did and when looking at you know, the 1479 01:22:53.239 --> 01:22:56.199 entities like USA, they applied their artificial intelligence and a 1480 01:22:56.199 --> 01:22:59.399 bunch of smart kids with computers to you know, go 1481 01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:01.640 through all all the records and find out where all 1482 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:05.279 the money was going. That's using technology to our advantage. 1483 01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:07.640 And apparently the Department of Justice got on board with this. 1484 01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:11.920 They just announced and here's an illustration of it. It's insane. 1485 01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:18.439 Three hundred defendants, actually more than three hundred, have been 1486 01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:26.319 charged with ripping you and I off healthcare bills. DJA 1487 01:23:26.439 --> 01:23:31.720 Criminal Division Chief Matthew Galliotti said the defendants attempted to 1488 01:23:31.760 --> 01:23:34.760 swindle Medicare and other tax pay had funded and private 1489 01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:39.039 health insurance programs out of fourteen point six billion, with 1490 01:23:39.199 --> 01:23:43.359 a bee described as the largest coordinated health care fraud 1491 01:23:43.439 --> 01:23:46.600 takedown in the history of the Department of Justice. You know, 1492 01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:49.680 and this is I'm gonna draw analogy on this. It's 1493 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:51.800 like they found, you know, a guy coming across the 1494 01:23:51.880 --> 01:23:54.079 southern border and he had fifteen pounds of fenl Oh, 1495 01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:57.319 my god, is a massive haul. How much fentanyl got 1496 01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:01.199 through that they didn't confiscate. And I'm pleased that the 1497 01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:04.600 DOJ has charged these more than three hundred defendants, considering 1498 01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:08.680 fourteen point six billion dollars in fraud here, But how 1499 01:24:08.760 --> 01:24:09.800 much is still out there? 1500 01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:11.840 Will we ever know? 1501 01:24:16.159 --> 01:24:18.159 DOJ said twenty nine of the defendan's charge with a 1502 01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:22.560 lleged involvement with transnational criminal organization. So this is beyond 1503 01:24:22.640 --> 01:24:29.760 the scope of the United States. There's another seventy four defendants, 1504 01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:33.479 forty four licensed medical professionals charge across fifty eight cases 1505 01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:37.479 with allegedly illegally distributing fifteen million prescription pill opioids and 1506 01:24:37.560 --> 01:24:42.199 other controlled substances as or by way of illustration five 1507 01:24:42.319 --> 01:24:44.399 and I'm Brian on Fox News reporting on this. Five 1508 01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:50.159 of the defendants at a AS in singular Texas Pharmacy 1509 01:24:50.239 --> 01:24:54.720 are accused of unlawfully distributing more than three million opioid pills, 1510 01:24:54.760 --> 01:25:00.000 including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and carisprit, all that were later trapped 1511 01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:04.880 by drug dealers on the streets. One single pharmacy. You 1512 01:25:05.239 --> 01:25:07.359 would think that they wouldn't just reasonably stick out like 1513 01:25:07.399 --> 01:25:09.319 a sore thumb. Wait a minute, we got an outlier 1514 01:25:09.359 --> 01:25:13.039 in Texas. We woudn't want to look into that forty 1515 01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:16.239 nine defendants charge was submitting over one point seven or 1516 01:25:16.279 --> 01:25:18.800 one point one seven billion in alleged fraudulent claims to 1517 01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:22.039 medicare one hundred and seventy defendants charged with various other 1518 01:25:22.119 --> 01:25:24.840 fraudulent screams amounting to one point eighty four billion in 1519 01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:30.359 claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies for diagnostic testing, 1520 01:25:30.479 --> 01:25:34.840 medical visits, and unnecessary treatments, sometimes for kickbacks and bribes. 1521 01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:43.119 This is sick. 1522 01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:49.119 One set of charges, an indictment against three defendants in Arizona, 1523 01:25:49.239 --> 01:25:53.720 conspired to purchase and give elderly Medicare recipients skin grafts, 1524 01:25:55.119 --> 01:26:01.960 something they call amniotic wound alografts, being millions of dollars. 1525 01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:05.960 One of the defenders that described as a nurse practitioner, 1526 01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:09.119 applied the graphs to patients even though they were medically 1527 01:26:09.359 --> 01:26:13.239 unreasonable and unnecessary. Then aurse allegedly applied them to terminally 1528 01:26:13.399 --> 01:26:19.000 ill patients in hospice, including some who were days away 1529 01:26:19.039 --> 01:26:28.840 from dying. I just submit a claim. I did the procedure, Galleoti, 1530 01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:31.800 the YUS attorney. The conduct is exactly as colson deserving 1531 01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:34.399 as it sounds. Patients and their families trusted these providers 1532 01:26:34.439 --> 01:26:36.560 with their lives. Instead of receiving care, they became victims 1533 01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:40.000 of an elaborate criminal scheme. And here's the problem with 1534 01:26:40.079 --> 01:26:46.720 medicine generally speaking. One DOJ official speaking with Fox News 1535 01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:49.560 to the skin graphs called an emerging area of health 1536 01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:54.159 care fraud quote, especially given the significant amount of money 1537 01:26:54.239 --> 01:26:58.039 they can build for something, sometimes in excess of one 1538 01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:11.039 thousand dollars a square centimeter skin craft. They say the 1539 01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:22.560 healthcare frauds span the country and the globe. FBI officials 1540 01:27:22.600 --> 01:27:26.039 said in the press conference one scheme called Operation gold Rush, 1541 01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:30.000 resulting at least twenty members of a transnational criminal organization, 1542 01:27:30.119 --> 01:27:33.279 including defendants based in Russia, being charged as part of 1543 01:27:33.359 --> 01:27:37.439 a ten billion with a B dollar medicare and money 1544 01:27:37.520 --> 01:27:42.159 laundering operation that's centered on catheters. They use foreign straw 1545 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:44.880 owners to secretly buy dozens of medical supply companies before 1546 01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:48.359 using stolen identities and confidential health data to create and 1547 01:27:48.479 --> 01:27:51.520 file a false ten point six billion dollars in claims 1548 01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:56.279 with Medicare. Nineteen defendants arrested for their involvement in that scheme. 1549 01:27:56.479 --> 01:28:03.039 Twelve have been arrested for apprehendi in Estonia they were 1550 01:28:03.079 --> 01:28:11.840 cooperating with US the Estonian law enforcement folks. Doctor memmont Oz, 1551 01:28:12.560 --> 01:28:15.359 administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is 1552 01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:17.720 pleading for our help out here in the real world. 1553 01:28:17.800 --> 01:28:21.079 We need your help, the American people. Over half the 1554 01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:23.960 whistleblower tips that we get are for health care fraud, 1555 01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:27.159 and over half the fraud against our government is in healthcare. 1556 01:28:27.439 --> 01:28:27.920 And that's you. 1557 01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:31.439 That is fraud against you. That's fraud against the American 1558 01:28:31.520 --> 01:28:34.439 tax payer. And maybe, just maybe one of the reasons 1559 01:28:34.479 --> 01:28:36.039 the size and the scope of these programs is so 1560 01:28:36.159 --> 01:28:39.479 absolutely bloated. I guess I just have to wonder how 1561 01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:41.840 long these investigations have been going. I know it takes 1562 01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:43.760 a long time to research these things. Hell, we had 1563 01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:46.720 to work with the Estonians. I'm glad they announced the arrests. 1564 01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:49.199 I hope they get convictions, and I hope it serves 1565 01:28:49.239 --> 01:28:51.199 as a warning shot to anybody else. But it is 1566 01:28:51.359 --> 01:28:55.000 illustrative of the problem with massive government programs. I got 1567 01:28:55.079 --> 01:28:57.199 a separate artic here of an article here about the 1568 01:28:57.439 --> 01:29:03.359 COVID tax credit fraud SKI that was ninety three million dollars, 1569 01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:07.119 described by the FBA as the largest ever identified in 1570 01:29:07.239 --> 01:29:09.960 terms of fraud schemes. I guess within this one program, 1571 01:29:14.920 --> 01:29:17.760 in an ever shrieking world with internet access, ah, look, 1572 01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.199 the Estonians can get involved in the ripoff of the 1573 01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:23.560 American people seven to fifteen right now fifty five krs 1574 01:29:23.840 --> 01:29:27.039 the talk station. Speaking of medical services, how about affordable 1575 01:29:27.119 --> 01:29:30.840 medical services? Well, by contrast to the American hospital system, 1576 01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:32.920 where if you go to the imaging department at the hospital, 1577 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:34.720 which is where your doctor's going to recommend you go, 1578 01:29:34.920 --> 01:29:38.800 notably because the hospital probably owns your doctor's practice, they 1579 01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:42.800 make fat fat fat bank at the hospital imaging department. 1580 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:45.119 And I know it's fat bank because I know Affordable 1581 01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:49.000 Imaging Services where I've had CT scans and MRI, I 1582 01:29:49.119 --> 01:29:51.439 know what I paid. I know the images were fine. 1583 01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:53.720 The Board Certified radiologist report was fined, at least in 1584 01:29:53.760 --> 01:29:57.039 the eyes of my doctors that have reviewed them. They 1585 01:29:57.079 --> 01:29:59.079 have the same type of equipment hospitals use. And you 1586 01:29:59.159 --> 01:30:01.920 know what, Affordable Image Services is still making a profit. 1587 01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:06.479 They are a going concern. So they don't charge thirty 1588 01:30:06.520 --> 01:30:08.439 five hundred dollars for an echo cardiogram like they do 1589 01:30:08.479 --> 01:30:11.159 at the hospital. It's only five hundred with no enhancement, 1590 01:30:11.239 --> 01:30:14.800 eight hundred with an enhancement. Don't pay five grand for 1591 01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:18.239 a CT scan at the hospital. Affordable Imaging Services will 1592 01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:20.600 do a CT scan for four point fifty without a contrast, 1593 01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:24.319 six hundred with a contrast interesting the comprice comparison, isn't it? 1594 01:30:24.840 --> 01:30:26.039 And you do have a choice when it comes to 1595 01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:29.560 your medical carry you and wherever you want so save 1596 01:30:29.640 --> 01:30:31.960 heap loads of money.

I'm asking 1634 01:32:29.079 --> 01:32:31.000 a very serious question. This is not a political I'm 1635 01:32:31.039 --> 01:32:33.479 gonna try for a moment to be a political for 1636 01:32:33.560 --> 01:32:36.279 a second. I gotta ask you a question. I'm not 1637 01:32:36.359 --> 01:32:38.199 a very smart person. You've talked to me. You know 1638 01:32:38.279 --> 01:32:43.239 that that's true. What where is the mayor? I mean, 1639 01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:44.880 I mean, I'm being totally serious here. 1640 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:46.079 It's a legitimate question. 1641 01:32:47.119 --> 01:32:50.760 Where is the mayor? Now listen, say what you want 1642 01:32:50.920 --> 01:32:54.119 and I'm and I'm not defending nor would anybody you know. 1643 01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:59.000 Remember Jeffrey Pastor. How did Jeffrey Pastor? How did he 1644 01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:03.039 rise so quickly and prominently, uh, to be then in 1645 01:33:03.119 --> 01:33:06.399 the position where unfortunately he he you know, did some 1646 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:11.159 stuff that you know, he took some money, apparently allegedly. 1647 01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:15.680 Let us let us down, right, he let us down. 1648 01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:18.680 But how did he rise to such prominence? Because Jeffrey 1649 01:33:18.800 --> 01:33:23.560 Pastor was genuinely and legitimately concerned about violence in the 1650 01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:26.680 city of Cincinnati and went out on the streets with 1651 01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:29.359 the people, with people wanting to stop the violence. Now, 1652 01:33:29.439 --> 01:33:31.560 in no way, shape or form am I advocating for 1653 01:33:31.640 --> 01:33:35.119 a return of Jeffrey Pastor. But what I am saying 1654 01:33:35.479 --> 01:33:38.960 that showed leadership in that particular instance, and that's why 1655 01:33:39.439 --> 01:33:43.319 people gathered around him. My question to you is where 1656 01:33:43.479 --> 01:33:47.880 is Astab? I mean, ASTAB can show up to every 1657 01:33:48.039 --> 01:33:52.760 no King's rally that's around within driving distance. Are Astabs 1658 01:33:52.800 --> 01:33:54.960 happy to show up to that? And if there's some 1659 01:33:55.359 --> 01:33:59.079 you know, uh base of his having a parade, astabs 1660 01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:02.520 happy to show up to that because that's easy. But 1661 01:34:02.680 --> 01:34:06.399 these are these tough decisions. Public safety is the fundamental 1662 01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:11.600 core function of government, and I just don't understand. You know, 1663 01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:15.079 I'm not blaming the violence on the mayor. However, where 1664 01:34:15.199 --> 01:34:19.640 is the mayor showing any leadership on this issue? It's 1665 01:34:19.720 --> 01:34:22.600 the mayor seems the mayor seems to be to me, 1666 01:34:22.920 --> 01:34:25.079 to a to a very you know, just to a 1667 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:27.600 to a to a Johndice eye. The mayor seems to 1668 01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:30.199 be always looking to the next level. Where is he 1669 01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:33.760 going from here? He doesn't seem to be overly concerned about. 1670 01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:34.880 This position or this job. 1671 01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:37.960 He's looking down the road. How can I parlay this 1672 01:34:38.119 --> 01:34:41.680 into something bigger and better for me? Well, you know what, 1673 01:34:42.239 --> 01:34:46.319 how about giving a almost got belief there, how about 1674 01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:50.720 giving a damn about the current position you have. You 1675 01:34:50.800 --> 01:34:54.279 are you ran for mayor of the city of Cincinnati. 1676 01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:58.319 That entails responsibilities to ensure or at least try to 1677 01:34:58.479 --> 01:35:03.079 ensure public safety. You're core function. We have last night 1678 01:35:03.960 --> 01:35:06.119 not even the height of the summer yet maybe you 1679 01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:08.119 know we're coming up on it. Fourth of July is 1680 01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:12.439 obviously this this week, but there's still a lot of hot, 1681 01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:17.239 steamy nights left here in Cincinnati. And we had five 1682 01:35:17.319 --> 01:35:19.920 shootings and I don't see the mayor having and when 1683 01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:21.439 you know the other thing of our I heard the 1684 01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:24.119 other day he had a press conference. You took no questions. 1685 01:35:24.520 --> 01:35:27.319 That's not really a press conference. That's just issuing a statement. 1686 01:35:29.720 --> 01:35:31.359 Okay, that's issuing a statement. 1687 01:35:31.479 --> 01:35:33.800 That's that's that's a that's a Joe Biden. That that 1688 01:35:34.000 --> 01:35:37.159 even makes Joe Biden look competent that type of press conference. 1689 01:35:37.239 --> 01:35:41.119 So I'm I'm wondering when people, when the good people 1690 01:35:41.279 --> 01:35:44.439 of Cincinnati that can vote in the city that does 1691 01:35:44.560 --> 01:35:48.279 not include me. I'm in wonderful, safe, beautiful Anderson Township 1692 01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:53.640 led by good conservative Republicans that put public safety first. 1693 01:35:54.760 --> 01:35:58.680 I'm wondering when is the mayor going to give a 1694 01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:02.760 damn about what's happening in his city that he wanted 1695 01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:05.079 to run for. And I'm wondering when the good people 1696 01:36:05.159 --> 01:36:07.720 of Cincinnati are going to stand up and say, you 1697 01:36:07.800 --> 01:36:11.119 know what, I might be a social liberal and I 1698 01:36:11.319 --> 01:36:15.159 might be in favor of these liberal causes. If you know, 1699 01:36:15.239 --> 01:36:18.960 it's hard to enjoy anything when you don't have life. 1700 01:36:19.680 --> 01:36:21.479 It's the first thing life, liberty. 1701 01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:21.960 Pursuit of happens. 1702 01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:24.760 And yet I see no cut. And then they will say, 1703 01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:27.399 maybe we should go in a different direction because what 1704 01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:31.039 you are doing is not working. So you know, I 1705 01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.079 hate to say this, but elections do have consequences. You 1706 01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:38.920 elected people that have other priorities. And this is I'm 1707 01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:41.479 not saying the violence is his fault, but his response 1708 01:36:41.520 --> 01:36:44.720 to the violence seems to be at least just a 1709 01:36:44.880 --> 01:36:48.800 casual observer from outside the city limits, seems to be 1710 01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:50.680 remarkably anemic. 1711 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:51.319 I agree. 1712 01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:54.840 Part of me wants to believe and you know, even 1713 01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:56.920 if you if you just discount the idea that he's 1714 01:36:57.000 --> 01:36:59.239 moving on to some higher political office and that's what 1715 01:36:59.359 --> 01:37:03.279 his motivation are. But he doesn't want to acknowledge the violence. 1716 01:37:03.319 --> 01:37:05.840 He doesn't want to address it because it's not good 1717 01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:08.319 marketing for the city of Cincinnati. I mean, they're busily 1718 01:37:08.399 --> 01:37:10.239 trying to get people to move into the city. That 1719 01:37:10.359 --> 01:37:12.159 was the point of rehabbing over the Rhine, so the 1720 01:37:12.279 --> 01:37:14.119 urban hipsters would move in and provide them with more 1721 01:37:14.199 --> 01:37:17.960 tax money. You needed working people who were paying taxes 1722 01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:20.000 to support all the city services. And more and more 1723 01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:22.239 people are fleeing the city of Cincinnati for the reasons 1724 01:37:22.319 --> 01:37:25.640 you're talking about. It's dangerous. But to have him go 1725 01:37:25.760 --> 01:37:28.279 out and project and talk about addressing violence in the 1726 01:37:28.319 --> 01:37:30.720 street would of course acknowledge that there's actually a problem 1727 01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:34.640 with violence on the street. That's just my guess, But 1728 01:37:34.760 --> 01:37:35.840 it's easier to ignore it. 1729 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:40.079 Part of Brian, part of being a leader, and part 1730 01:37:40.159 --> 01:37:42.359 of running to be a leader, is you have to 1731 01:37:42.479 --> 01:37:45.079 be ready to tackle the heart issues. 1732 01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:47.359 Not everything is ribbon cutting. 1733 01:37:47.800 --> 01:37:51.000 Not everything is a parade where you wave and say 1734 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:54.560 look at how great I am into your base, and 1735 01:37:54.680 --> 01:37:57.920 then you don't take questions at a press conference. For 1736 01:37:58.439 --> 01:38:02.680 God's sake, that's hard at being a leader. Yeah, if 1737 01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:06.840 we're going to elect cheerleaders to run our government, if 1738 01:38:06.880 --> 01:38:09.159 we're going to elect people that just simply say raw 1739 01:38:09.279 --> 01:38:12.840 raw for our side, and not make any hard decisions. 1740 01:38:12.880 --> 01:38:14.239 Then we're doomed to failure. 1741 01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:18.560 Well, can't you just step back and sort of casually 1742 01:38:18.600 --> 01:38:21.640 observe objectively that the city really has set itself up 1743 01:38:21.720 --> 01:38:24.920 for failure with forty plus years of complete Democrat control 1744 01:38:25.000 --> 01:38:29.560 of everything, the policies and otherwise the budgets and mass pensions, underfunded, 1745 01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:32.239 police are understaffed. I mean, we could go on and 1746 01:38:32.319 --> 01:38:33.000 on the roads or. 1747 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:37.199 Falling apart, on and on, and you know, I don't 1748 01:38:37.239 --> 01:38:40.000 think there's a big surprise that the correlation and the 1749 01:38:40.079 --> 01:38:43.760 uptick and violence and the correlation to the number of 1750 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:47.399 Democrat judges elected seem to go hand in hand. Well, 1751 01:38:47.399 --> 01:38:51.319 you've like sending thing with soft on crime, with this 1752 01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:55.239 anti police bias that they display openly in their courtrooms. 1753 01:38:55.640 --> 01:38:57.800 I you know, I don't think there's any surprise. I 1754 01:38:57.840 --> 01:38:59.680 don't think there's any you know, I don't think that's 1755 01:38:59.760 --> 01:39:02.960 just a coincidence. I think it's a correlation'. 1756 01:39:02.159 --> 01:39:05.359 You're exactly right. That's the pillar of the justice system 1757 01:39:05.439 --> 01:39:07.840 is punishment. It's a deterrence to other people who would 1758 01:39:07.840 --> 01:39:10.800 commit crimes. They say that constantly. When you've got judges 1759 01:39:10.840 --> 01:39:14.479 who refuse to hand down sentences refuse. They let people 1760 01:39:14.560 --> 01:39:16.079 that are violent and then in a threat to the 1761 01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:21.039 community out on no bail. They remain a threat to society. 1762 01:39:21.119 --> 01:39:23.439 The word gets around there is gonna be no consequence 1763 01:39:23.520 --> 01:39:25.640 for crime in this city thanks to the liberal. 1764 01:39:25.479 --> 01:39:27.399 Judges that we've got on the bench. Period. 1765 01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:29.560 And then the police don't want to do their job 1766 01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:31.560 because it's a waste of their time. Why would I 1767 01:39:31.640 --> 01:39:34.439 arrest them for a curfew violation if they're not even 1768 01:39:34.520 --> 01:39:38.039 gonna take them in period. There's just a juvenile center 1769 01:39:38.119 --> 01:39:38.279 for that. 1770 01:39:38.520 --> 01:39:39.079 They will do it. 1771 01:39:39.560 --> 01:39:42.439 So what's the point. And you get gangs of teenagers 1772 01:39:42.520 --> 01:39:44.560 roam in the street, committing acts of violence and suffering 1773 01:39:44.600 --> 01:39:47.079 no consequences. It's a vicious cycle. It only gets worse. 1774 01:39:47.640 --> 01:39:49.399 But to your point on the mayor, you're right, his 1775 01:39:49.600 --> 01:39:52.560 silence is absolutely deafening. Hear what Christopher Smitheman had to 1776 01:39:52.560 --> 01:39:54.439 say just yesterday on that very topic. 1777 01:39:55.119 --> 01:39:56.359 I appreciate Smitherman. 1778 01:39:56.399 --> 01:39:59.119 I will say this publicly, Christopher Smitherman right now, if 1779 01:39:59.159 --> 01:40:02.520 he was mayor of this is Cincinnati, I think Christopher 1780 01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:05.880 Smitherman would stay be marching out in the in the 1781 01:40:05.960 --> 01:40:09.319 streets with pastors and community leaders trying to stop to 1782 01:40:09.359 --> 01:40:11.359 this and trying to get a handle on it, rather 1783 01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:15.399 than sitting in a press conference, not taking questions, and 1784 01:40:15.479 --> 01:40:18.840 then showing up for just you know, very very friendly 1785 01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:22.760 events where he's a hero for self adulation because for 1786 01:40:22.920 --> 01:40:27.079 some reason he desires and needs that self adulation. Good. Questionably, 1787 01:40:27.960 --> 01:40:31.840 Christopher Smitherman is a confident leader and is leading. 1788 01:40:31.800 --> 01:40:32.720 And that's what he does. 1789 01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:35.760 Unquestionably, you are right, Drill always appreciate hearing from me. 1790 01:40:35.760 --> 01:40:38.560 I appreciate your passion to my friend seven twenty eight 1791 01:40:39.640 --> 01:40:41.760 Ramaswami up next, if you can stick around.

Welcome 1832 01:42:37.319 --> 01:42:39.039 back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. It's always 1833 01:42:39.079 --> 01:42:42.000 a real pleasure to have VvE eight Ramaswami on the program. 1834 01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:42.960 Welcome back, my friend. 1835 01:42:44.159 --> 01:42:44.840 How are you, sir? 1836 01:42:45.039 --> 01:42:47.319 I'm doing great, man, and I am excited as hell 1837 01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:50.840 about your campaign. I cannot wait to vote for you. 1838 01:42:51.159 --> 01:42:53.279 I have been blessed with the opportunity here. You speak 1839 01:42:53.359 --> 01:42:55.399 multiple times. You and I have had conversations on the 1840 01:42:55.479 --> 01:42:57.760 morning show. We see eye to eye on all the 1841 01:42:57.800 --> 01:43:01.000 important issues. And you know, I got to compliment you now. 1842 01:43:01.159 --> 01:43:05.800 Your background is just absolutely perfect. You're brilliant graduate valedictorian 1843 01:43:05.880 --> 01:43:08.680 from Saint Xavier High School. Here in a city of 1844 01:43:08.680 --> 01:43:11.800 Cincinnati native son some of cum Lottie graduate in biology 1845 01:43:11.880 --> 01:43:14.880 from Harvard, j d from Yale Law School. You started 1846 01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:17.960 your own biotech company, oversaw the development of five drugs. 1847 01:43:17.960 --> 01:43:20.800 You went on to become FBA approved that Roy Van Sciences. 1848 01:43:21.119 --> 01:43:23.920 You've written books, I mean, and you outkicked your coverage 1849 01:43:23.960 --> 01:43:27.439 in marriage. You are demonstrably an awesome candidate. My friend 1850 01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:30.600 and I cannot wait to get you elected. The campaign's 1851 01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:33.479 going well. You got a record fundraising going on right now. 1852 01:43:34.760 --> 01:43:36.239 Yeah, look at KB is going great. 1853 01:43:36.439 --> 01:43:40.239 We've never seen unity like this across our state, right 1854 01:43:40.239 --> 01:43:42.000 and I think that that's one of the things that 1855 01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:46.439 strengthens us. Usually in a Republican primary season like this, 1856 01:43:46.600 --> 01:43:49.600 there'd be a knife fight amongst people who agree with 1857 01:43:49.680 --> 01:43:52.319 each other on ninety percent of things and attack each other. Anyway, 1858 01:43:53.000 --> 01:43:55.119 we're skipping that this time, and we don't have to 1859 01:43:55.199 --> 01:43:58.039 go through that phase of the attack phase of the process. 1860 01:43:58.359 --> 01:44:01.840 We're united and had to say that. Our party, our movement, 1861 01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:04.359 and I hope our state more broadly is united around 1862 01:44:04.439 --> 01:44:09.680 common sense, economic excellence, educational excellence in this state. And 1863 01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:12.359 one of the things I've noticed from traveling this state 1864 01:44:12.479 --> 01:44:15.800 is we've been to over sixty plus counties of the 1865 01:44:15.840 --> 01:44:18.880 eighty eight in the last several months. I don't care 1866 01:44:18.960 --> 01:44:25.600 whether people are even calling themselves democratic, dependent, libertarian, politically homeless, 1867 01:44:26.279 --> 01:44:27.600 or Republican for that matter. 1868 01:44:28.159 --> 01:44:29.720 I think that most people in our. 1869 01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:33.239 State are united around elevating our educational achievement standards in 1870 01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:36.840 our schools, so many of which have underperformed, and also 1871 01:44:36.920 --> 01:44:40.239 elevated around reducing the tax and regulatory burden in this 1872 01:44:40.439 --> 01:44:42.960 state so that we become the state that lead the 1873 01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:46.640 next industrial revolution, just like we led the first one. 1874 01:44:47.119 --> 01:44:48.880 And so to me, right now, this is not about 1875 01:44:48.920 --> 01:44:53.000 left versus right. It's about up versus down. We're choosing 1876 01:44:53.159 --> 01:44:55.840 up for the state of Ohio, and I want us 1877 01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:58.239 to be the state that leads America back to greatness, 1878 01:44:58.760 --> 01:45:01.520 not just Texas or Flora. We're done with living in 1879 01:45:01.560 --> 01:45:04.239 their shadow and we're now ready to leave the way ourselves. 1880 01:45:04.359 --> 01:45:06.359 Amen to that, and I think a step in the 1881 01:45:06.439 --> 01:45:08.479 right direction. At least one of the elements in the 1882 01:45:08.520 --> 01:45:11.960 budget just Dwine, just as signed, was the flat two 1883 01:45:12.000 --> 01:45:17.199 point seventy five percent tax income tax. Are you a 1884 01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:18.720 visionary in the sense you want to get rid of 1885 01:45:18.760 --> 01:45:20.960 the income tax here in Ohio and make us more 1886 01:45:21.079 --> 01:45:23.560 marketable when we have to compete with states like Texas 1887 01:45:23.600 --> 01:45:24.039 and Florida. 1888 01:45:25.239 --> 01:45:29.119 Absolutely, I do think that we have a depopulation issue 1889 01:45:29.159 --> 01:45:31.960 we're going to address in the state. Especially a lot 1890 01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:34.159 of our younger age workers are the ones who tend 1891 01:45:34.199 --> 01:45:36.720 to leave the state, and we have more Americans leaving 1892 01:45:36.800 --> 01:45:39.239 our state than we have moving in. We're going to 1893 01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:42.279 turn that ship around by making Ohio the most attractive 1894 01:45:42.439 --> 01:45:45.520 state in the country to raise a young family, to 1895 01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:48.720 grow a business, and yes, to generate wealth and to 1896 01:45:48.840 --> 01:45:49.640 keep that wealth. 1897 01:45:49.720 --> 01:45:51.279 It's your money, not the government. 1898 01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:53.760 And if eight other states have managed to get to 1899 01:45:53.880 --> 01:45:56.159 zero income tax, you know what the state to put 1900 01:45:56.159 --> 01:45:58.079 a man in the moon and configure this one out. 1901 01:45:58.560 --> 01:46:01.079 I'm proud of the legislature. It was a great step 1902 01:46:01.319 --> 01:46:03.800 that we took in the right direction. Now get into 1903 01:46:03.840 --> 01:46:06.960 a simpler, flat taxation system at the state level. 1904 01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:09.439 But I want us to be a state that is 1905 01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:11.079 a zero intertax. 1906 01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:17.079 Draw that includes mean a zero capital game taxation of state. 1907 01:46:17.520 --> 01:46:19.159 In fact, that one of the only steps we can 1908 01:46:19.239 --> 01:46:22.760 take to get there. In New Hampshire, these are still 1909 01:46:23.359 --> 01:46:27.760 nominally zero intertax states and they'll still tax the capital pays. Conversely, 1910 01:46:27.800 --> 01:46:31.960 I want to hire a magnet to capital in leading 1911 01:46:32.000 --> 01:46:32.720 in the sectors of. 1912 01:46:32.720 --> 01:46:36.279 The future, from nuclear energy to biotech. And these are 1913 01:46:36.279 --> 01:46:38.119 areas where I not only want to catch up to 1914 01:46:38.199 --> 01:46:40.760 some of these other states, I want to lead and 1915 01:46:40.880 --> 01:46:43.800 be a magnet for the top talent and capital around 1916 01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:44.279 the country. 1917 01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:44.840 Well. 1918 01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:46.239 And one of the things we talked about that I 1919 01:46:46.279 --> 01:46:49.359 think would encourage and help along those lines is energy 1920 01:46:49.399 --> 01:46:51.880 production here in the state of Ohio and moving over 1921 01:46:52.039 --> 01:46:55.159 and embracing the small modular nuclear reactors and sort of 1922 01:46:55.199 --> 01:46:59.600 being the the the the go to state for efficient 1923 01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:00.880 power generation and. 1924 01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:04.840 You know, affordable power. 1925 01:47:04.880 --> 01:47:07.800 If we if we embrace that and provide an abundance 1926 01:47:07.840 --> 01:47:09.880 of power, I mean, we could sell off that power 1927 01:47:09.920 --> 01:47:11.800 to other states who are going the opposite direction. 1928 01:47:13.279 --> 01:47:15.920 Absolutely, and right now, I just want to be sober 1929 01:47:15.960 --> 01:47:19.039 about where we are with the AI data centers and 1930 01:47:19.119 --> 01:47:23.680 other hyperscalers come into the state. That's while it's an opportunity, 1931 01:47:23.800 --> 01:47:27.079 it is also a major source of added demand on 1932 01:47:27.199 --> 01:47:31.800 our electric grid. And right now AEP is forecasting rotating 1933 01:47:31.960 --> 01:47:35.399 blackouts in the state of Ohio in the summer of 1934 01:47:35.479 --> 01:47:39.880 twenty twenty seven. That's unacceptable, I mean unacceptable in America. 1935 01:47:39.960 --> 01:47:43.359 But you're seeing it in California, it's certainly the whole. 1936 01:47:43.520 --> 01:47:46.159 In our state of Ohio, we're going to turn that 1937 01:47:46.199 --> 01:47:46.800 ship around. 1938 01:47:46.880 --> 01:47:46.920 It. 1939 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:51.000 Good news is the get the energy out underneath our 1940 01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:53.840 ground to start with and use it. That's natural gas 1941 01:47:53.920 --> 01:47:56.840 in the near term where we're incredibly wealthy and natural gas, 1942 01:47:57.359 --> 01:47:58.880 we just have to cut the red tape to be 1943 01:47:58.920 --> 01:48:01.039 able to use it. And then you hit the nail 1944 01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:03.399 on the head and the medium term after that, I 1945 01:48:03.479 --> 01:48:05.840 want to lead Ohio to be the top state in 1946 01:48:05.960 --> 01:48:09.520 the country to embrace and really innovate in the area 1947 01:48:09.680 --> 01:48:13.199 of small modular nuclear reactors, which is a far safer 1948 01:48:13.319 --> 01:48:16.840 new generation, incredibly safe, new generation of technology that's quickly built, 1949 01:48:17.399 --> 01:48:20.640 that's scalable, and that really leads us to our future 1950 01:48:20.760 --> 01:48:22.600 not just for the next four years but the next 1951 01:48:22.680 --> 01:48:27.479 four hundred, and has energy abundance that's accessible, that's affordable. 1952 01:48:27.079 --> 01:48:30.600 Cheap, reliable for all ohiolands. 1953 01:48:29.960 --> 01:48:33.079 As I believe is the proper expectation of every. 1954 01:48:32.920 --> 01:48:35.560 Person who grows up in Ohio to live in the 1955 01:48:35.640 --> 01:48:38.319 first world and be at the leading edge rather than 1956 01:48:38.359 --> 01:48:40.079 playing catch up with energy shortages. 1957 01:48:40.439 --> 01:48:42.279 As Governor of State of Ohio, you enjoy the line 1958 01:48:42.319 --> 01:48:44.560 item veto and I have to ask this. I know 1959 01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:46.640 it's a minor point, and even though it is six 1960 01:48:46.760 --> 01:48:49.079 hundred million dollars, but one of the items that was 1961 01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:51.680 not cut from the Dwine budget that was just signed 1962 01:48:51.960 --> 01:48:55.119 six hundred million dollars for the Cleveland Browns New Dome Stadium. 1963 01:48:55.439 --> 01:48:59.159 I find that as a taxpayer offensive. Sir, I'd like 1964 01:48:59.239 --> 01:49:02.039 your reaction on the idea that the Ohio taxpayers should 1965 01:49:02.039 --> 01:49:05.479 be funding a privately owned sports team and stadium. 1966 01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:07.079 Yeah. 1967 01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:09.319 Look, I mean I've been clear with our friends of 1968 01:49:09.359 --> 01:49:12.000 the legislature and also out of respect to Governor to Wine, 1969 01:49:12.000 --> 01:49:14.199 I'm not going to go one by one through his 1970 01:49:14.279 --> 01:49:16.279 line out of Veto's. A lot of those just came 1971 01:49:16.359 --> 01:49:19.439 in even overnight, and so that's fresh news this morning. 1972 01:49:19.880 --> 01:49:22.640 What I will say is this, I want to run 1973 01:49:22.760 --> 01:49:25.199 things in our state a little differently than the way 1974 01:49:25.239 --> 01:49:27.800 even other states run and even some of the ways 1975 01:49:27.840 --> 01:49:31.239 our state has run historically. With the job of a governor, 1976 01:49:31.279 --> 01:49:34.199 I believe is to lead and set the achaine. So 1977 01:49:34.279 --> 01:49:36.760 you want to get a deal done, go do that deal, 1978 01:49:37.439 --> 01:49:40.000 then the best interests of the taxpayers of this state 1979 01:49:40.079 --> 01:49:41.600 in mind, and then. 1980 01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:43.479 Work with the legislators on the front end. 1981 01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:47.199 To ratify that deal, rather than playing this game of 1982 01:49:47.319 --> 01:49:48.319 you know, the legislature. 1983 01:49:48.840 --> 01:49:51.119 A lot of great people in the legislature, by the way. 1984 01:49:51.039 --> 01:49:54.800 But each of whom are shepherding their own proposals not 1985 01:49:55.000 --> 01:49:56.920 knowing whether or not the governor is going to sign it. 1986 01:49:57.159 --> 01:49:59.319 That's the way most states are run. To be honest 1987 01:49:59.359 --> 01:50:01.520 with you, we're going to change that. I don't think 1988 01:50:01.560 --> 01:50:04.000 that that's functional to be able to drive an actual 1989 01:50:04.119 --> 01:50:06.920 bold agenda. And to the stadium issue, it's going to 1990 01:50:06.960 --> 01:50:08.920 come up time and again. And my view is that 1991 01:50:09.560 --> 01:50:11.560 the job of the governor and the job of selected 1992 01:50:11.600 --> 01:50:13.560 officials of the state is to ask what gets the 1993 01:50:13.680 --> 01:50:18.039 best deal for Ohio residents and to me, if you 1994 01:50:18.079 --> 01:50:20.600 want to think about smart deals that get local skin 1995 01:50:20.680 --> 01:50:23.000 in the game, that get greater skin in the game 1996 01:50:23.079 --> 01:50:25.920 for private investors, that's the job of a governor, and 1997 01:50:26.000 --> 01:50:28.720 then you go to the legislature to ratify it, rather 1998 01:50:28.840 --> 01:50:31.680 than the game of legislators pushing one proposal, no idea, 1999 01:50:31.720 --> 01:50:33.680 whether the governor is going to line at them vit 2000 01:50:33.680 --> 01:50:36.319 to it in certain cases versus others. We're going to 2001 01:50:36.359 --> 01:50:39.119 move to a new phase of unified leadership in the 2002 01:50:39.239 --> 01:50:42.239 state through open communication that includes at the state and 2003 01:50:42.319 --> 01:50:42.960 local level. 2004 01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:45.439 Frankly at the local level. You know, in a lot 2005 01:50:45.439 --> 01:50:46.479 of these projects, I think there. 2006 01:50:46.359 --> 01:50:48.239 Should be greater local games. 2007 01:50:48.359 --> 01:50:51.239 The local municipality is going to derive the benefit, then 2008 01:50:51.439 --> 01:50:54.279 it would stand to reason that the local community that's 2009 01:50:54.319 --> 01:50:57.039 going to benefit the most is also investing in a 2010 01:50:57.079 --> 01:50:59.960 project that's supposed to benefit them. If a local municipality 2011 01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:02.199 or a local county doesn't want to advanced, to raise 2012 01:51:02.279 --> 01:51:04.920 questions about how big those proposed economic benefits really are. 2013 01:51:05.560 --> 01:51:08.159 So I would say that without reference to any specific project, 2014 01:51:08.239 --> 01:51:10.399 but about the principles that I would bring in the 2015 01:51:10.439 --> 01:51:14.119 future is skinning the game for everybody, smart deals for 2016 01:51:14.319 --> 01:51:17.359 the state, and then take a leadership approach round the 2017 01:51:17.439 --> 01:51:20.279 front end. You're meeting with the legislative leaders and you're 2018 01:51:20.319 --> 01:51:23.399 going in with a one team mentality. Especially with Republican 2019 01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:26.279 majorities across the board. There's really no reason not to 2020 01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:28.600 run the state that way. And you know, I want 2021 01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:30.840 to give give credit re press. We're a great state, 2022 01:51:31.039 --> 01:51:33.600 We're one of the best in the Midwest. I just 2023 01:51:33.600 --> 01:51:34.800 don't want to lead us to be one of the 2024 01:51:34.840 --> 01:51:37.119 best in the Midwest alone. I want to lead us 2025 01:51:37.159 --> 01:51:39.479 out to be the top state in the country, and 2026 01:51:39.560 --> 01:51:42.439 I think that's going to require moving forward with more 2027 01:51:42.520 --> 01:51:47.720 of a forward leading, strong one Ohio leadership in how 2028 01:51:47.800 --> 01:51:50.159 we work with our partners in the legislature and also 2029 01:51:50.239 --> 01:51:53.640 how we work with local governments and the other statewide 2030 01:51:53.640 --> 01:51:57.439 elected officials. We're done operating in silos. I'm ready to 2031 01:51:57.520 --> 01:51:59.880 lead this state with a one Ohio. 2032 01:51:59.600 --> 01:52:01.640 Mentality, and I think that's going to make us stronger. 2033 01:52:02.399 --> 01:52:05.760 Vag Ramaswami real quickly here, would you, as governor of 2034 01:52:05.760 --> 01:52:08.800 the state of Ohio, we have a problem with fraud, 2035 01:52:08.880 --> 01:52:12.039 wasted abuse, like every all government programs, but I understand 2036 01:52:12.079 --> 01:52:15.439 we have a pronounced problem with Medicaid fraud. Would you 2037 01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:18.680 at least embrace the concept of going after fraud, waste 2038 01:52:18.720 --> 01:52:22.039 and abuse in these various government programs aggressively to save 2039 01:52:22.119 --> 01:52:23.439 the Ohio taxpayer dollars. 2040 01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:27.920 Absolutely, Bran, I mean, it's just common sense. Really Again, 2041 01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:30.840 that isn't about left versus right. It's about saving all 2042 01:52:31.359 --> 01:52:34.399 our taxpayer dollars. The fact of the matter is there's 2043 01:52:34.399 --> 01:52:37.159 now evidence. You have great legislators like Jennifer Gross and 2044 01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:40.840 others who have uncovered work showing that there are Ohio 2045 01:52:41.239 --> 01:52:44.880 directed Medicaid dollars flowing to recipients in other states. Yeah, 2046 01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:47.479 that doesn't make any sense. And the fact of the 2047 01:52:47.560 --> 01:52:50.319 matter is Ohio deserves better than that. So I think 2048 01:52:50.399 --> 01:52:54.399 we deserve leaders who are willing to confront the reality 2049 01:52:54.520 --> 01:52:56.920 that many of our taxpayer dollars do go to waste. 2050 01:52:57.399 --> 01:52:58.479 But the way we're going to do it is in 2051 01:52:58.600 --> 01:53:01.760 some theoretical academic exces size. It's all part of the 2052 01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:05.960 project to put more money in the pockets of Ohioans. 2053 01:53:06.359 --> 01:53:10.039 I think Ohioans deserve We're hardworking people, deserve to keep 2054 01:53:10.079 --> 01:53:11.439 what they are, deserve to. 2055 01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:13.920 Bear a lower property tax burden. 2056 01:53:14.119 --> 01:53:16.439 Remember, it is your land, not the governments. 2057 01:53:16.880 --> 01:53:20.760 Property taxes have gotten insanely high in this state. And 2058 01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:23.960 instead of asking, you know, what benefit needs to be 2059 01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:26.920 cut versus not for those property taxes to come down, 2060 01:53:27.319 --> 01:53:30.039 let's actually start with a much easier question of where's 2061 01:53:30.159 --> 01:53:33.319 just the waste, where's just the abuse in some cases, 2062 01:53:33.359 --> 01:53:36.439 where's the outright fraud? And I think Ohioans deserve to 2063 01:53:36.479 --> 01:53:39.600 pay lower property taxes. I think Ohioans deserve to get 2064 01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:42.159 to a zero income tax state, as eight other states 2065 01:53:42.199 --> 01:53:44.479 have gotten to. That's where I'm going to lead us. 2066 01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:48.239 Combine that with lifting up our educational achievement standards and 2067 01:53:48.359 --> 01:53:50.680 we're going to have a renaissance in this state of 2068 01:53:50.760 --> 01:53:53.439 a kind that we have not seen since the First 2069 01:53:53.560 --> 01:53:56.720 Industrial Revolution. That's where I want to lead Ohio. And 2070 01:53:57.039 --> 01:53:59.680 I can tell you, Brian in about eighteen months excited 2071 01:53:59.680 --> 01:54:01.319 to get you are, and. 2072 01:54:01.399 --> 01:54:04.720 We're here to help you.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC HE 2127 01:56:34.319 --> 01:56:35.159 Talks station. 2128 01:56:39.720 --> 01:56:42.239 Coming up on seven fifty two at fifty five kr 2129 01:56:42.359 --> 01:56:45.000 SE Talk station. I'm always impressed by b Big. He's 2130 01:56:45.039 --> 01:56:49.119 such an uplifting guy. Do you hear any division in 2131 01:56:49.239 --> 01:56:52.079 his conversation, he's talking about unifying all the highlands, trying 2132 01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:54.279 to make things better for everybody and these and what 2133 01:56:54.439 --> 01:56:58.840 he stands for would and will I mean a positive 2134 01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:01.760 attitude of vision for the future of Ohio, one where 2135 01:57:01.800 --> 01:57:04.079 we are an outlier in terms of being the best. 2136 01:57:05.319 --> 01:57:08.600 I just I just can't help but be impressed by him, 2137 01:57:08.640 --> 01:57:10.840 and apparently a lot of people are. He's already got 2138 01:57:10.960 --> 01:57:15.279 eight point five million dollars in the bank for his campaign, 2139 01:57:15.399 --> 01:57:18.800 and that's just in four months, and he's gotten every 2140 01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:23.319 single endorsement you can hope for. I think it's one 2141 01:57:23.319 --> 01:57:24.880 of the reasons some of the other candidates just basically 2142 01:57:25.039 --> 01:57:27.079 gave up and dropped out. I'm not gonna bother with 2143 01:57:27.119 --> 01:57:33.920 the primary on that guy demonstrably brilliant, and you know 2144 01:57:34.039 --> 01:57:36.199 someone who's willing to go to back like Donald Trump. 2145 01:57:36.239 --> 01:57:38.399 You say you want about Trump? Did he need that job? 2146 01:57:40.720 --> 01:57:43.560 He's worth all, however much money he's actually worth. I 2147 01:57:43.640 --> 01:57:45.479 know what he says, and I know what reality might 2148 01:57:45.520 --> 01:57:47.880 be maybe different things, but you know, I didn't need 2149 01:57:47.920 --> 01:57:49.920 the headache in the hassle and the and the pain 2150 01:57:50.079 --> 01:57:52.159 and anguish and problems that he had to go through 2151 01:57:52.239 --> 01:57:54.520 during his first term, with every day having to face 2152 01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:57.439 impeachment and allegations of this and that, and name calling 2153 01:57:58.800 --> 01:58:03.000 constantly con instantly dragging his name through the mud every 2154 01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:06.239 single day. Who among us could stand up to that challenge. 2155 01:58:07.359 --> 01:58:09.600 I mean, if you need the job, it's one thing. 2156 01:58:11.439 --> 01:58:14.600 But you know Vveks got all kinds of money in 2157 01:58:14.680 --> 01:58:16.880 the bank. He doesn't need the job. He wants to 2158 01:58:16.960 --> 01:58:23.199 do it to help Ohio, which I think it's a 2159 01:58:23.279 --> 01:58:33.439 credit to his character. Credit to his character. Anyway, Dwine, 2160 01:58:33.520 --> 01:58:36.840 have we got some problems with Dwine And we're talking 2161 01:58:36.840 --> 01:58:39.199 about this earlier among the items in the budget. Apparently 2162 01:58:40.399 --> 01:58:43.000 now it has a trigger to eliminate Medicaid coverage for 2163 01:58:43.039 --> 01:58:45.239 about seven hundred and seventy thousand low income adults. 2164 01:58:45.239 --> 01:58:45.800 These are adults. 2165 01:58:46.359 --> 01:58:49.239 They were expanded during the Medicare expansion that Dwine grabbed 2166 01:58:49.279 --> 01:58:53.600 onto or prior governor grabbed onto, expanded under Obama. And 2167 01:58:53.760 --> 01:58:56.920 why do we bother expanding it because the federal government's 2168 01:58:56.920 --> 01:59:00.439 paying for it. And so there's a trigger in the budget. 2169 01:59:00.600 --> 01:59:03.640 If the federal government stops covering at least ninety percent 2170 01:59:03.680 --> 01:59:06.199 of the benefit costs, then they're going to eliminate the 2171 01:59:06.279 --> 01:59:10.239 expansion component, which will eliminate a lot of the fraud, 2172 01:59:10.239 --> 01:59:12.479 waste and abuse that we talk about regularly here on 2173 01:59:12.520 --> 01:59:14.359 the Morning Show. If there are fewer people on it, 2174 01:59:14.439 --> 01:59:17.479 then there are fewer opportunities for false claims and fraud 2175 01:59:17.560 --> 01:59:21.159 and other abuse to take place. Other changes, they say, 2176 01:59:21.199 --> 01:59:23.479 we'll eliminate a plan to keep children on Medicaid through 2177 01:59:23.520 --> 01:59:25.880 their fourth birthday. And then this one puzzles me, and 2178 01:59:26.079 --> 01:59:32.520 it's Enquire's Jesse Baumer reporting take a step towards banning 2179 01:59:32.960 --> 01:59:36.760 snap benefits for soda and sugar sweetened beverages. And I 2180 01:59:36.840 --> 01:59:39.600 mentioned this earlier. I don't know what taking a step means. 2181 01:59:39.680 --> 01:59:45.760 Why not just say it's eliminated. I mean, I puzzled 2182 01:59:45.800 --> 01:59:47.920 over that one for years and years. Why do you 2183 01:59:48.159 --> 01:59:51.159 and I our taxpayer dollars go to supplement a family 2184 01:59:51.199 --> 01:59:53.479 who I'm not going to argue doesn't need the assistance, 2185 01:59:53.840 --> 01:59:56.399 but end up paying for something that is not nutrition. 2186 01:59:57.800 --> 02:00:01.399 In fact, is a problem. It's the obesity problem, which 2187 02:00:01.399 --> 02:00:03.279 contributes to the medical bills that we all pay in 2188 02:00:03.359 --> 02:00:07.800 this country, probably covered by Medicaid, another government program. Right, So, 2189 02:00:08.119 --> 02:00:09.640 if you're going to try to get cut back on 2190 02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:12.479 the number of medicaid claims that you make. You might 2191 02:00:12.520 --> 02:00:14.199 want to help us improve our health, and one of 2192 02:00:14.239 --> 02:00:16.159 the ways to improve our health is quit paying for 2193 02:00:17.439 --> 02:00:19.800 sugary beverages that have no nutritional value and add to 2194 02:00:19.840 --> 02:00:21.960 the obesity problem. It seems like a simple step in 2195 02:00:22.000 --> 02:00:23.720 a logical conclusion reach, doesn't it? 2196 02:00:24.520 --> 02:00:26.399 Eh? Anyway? 2197 02:00:26.640 --> 02:00:29.239 Seven to fifty five fifty five cares to detoxtation Breitbart 2198 02:00:29.359 --> 02:00:33.439 News Bradley j the deputy news director and former Capitol 2199 02:00:33.520 --> 02:00:36.199 Hill staffer, will give us his analysis of what's going 2200 02:00:36.279 --> 02:00:39.000 on in the Senate right now, literally on the Big 2201 02:00:39.039 --> 02:00:42.319 Beautiful Bill. As of seven o'clock this morning, Senator Roger 2202 02:00:42.439 --> 02:00:45.079 Ricker was asked about the bill if it can pass today. 2203 02:00:46.199 --> 02:00:47.600 I think so. Yeah. 2204 02:00:47.960 --> 02:00:52.319 I hope it gets done. Not exactly overly optimistic from 2205 02:00:52.359 --> 02:00:55.079 the senator. We'll see what Bradley Jay has to say 2206 02:00:55.079 --> 02:00:57.279 about that. Plus the Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming to 2207 02:00:57.359 --> 02:00:58.800 be at eight thirty.

Bradley J. 2221 02:01:34.359 --> 02:01:37.439 Breitbart's deputy news director and former Capitol Hill staff or 2222 02:01:37.479 --> 02:01:41.399 bookmarket b r e I t baart dot com. You'll 2223 02:01:41.600 --> 02:01:43.880 thank me for doing so. Welcome back, Bradley J. It's 2224 02:01:43.880 --> 02:01:45.000 always a pleasure talking. 2225 02:01:44.800 --> 02:01:47.199 With you, Bran. It's great to be with you. 2226 02:01:47.520 --> 02:01:49.520 Like going on in Washington, for sure, Yeah, there is, 2227 02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:52.159 you know, if you're a betting man, and we'll dive 2228 02:01:52.199 --> 02:01:53.560 into some of the details of what's going on there. 2229 02:01:53.600 --> 02:01:56.439 But they're still bickering over the amendments in the Senate. 2230 02:01:56.720 --> 02:01:59.600 We don't have agreement among the Republicans, and obviously the 2231 02:01:59.640 --> 02:02:02.239 republic are apparently setting up to be their own worst nightmare. 2232 02:02:02.920 --> 02:02:04.479 If you're a betting man right now, do you think 2233 02:02:04.520 --> 02:02:05.560 this thing's gonna actually pass? 2234 02:02:07.520 --> 02:02:07.680 Oh? 2235 02:02:07.960 --> 02:02:10.960 Gosh, you put me on the spot right at the beginning. 2236 02:02:11.119 --> 02:02:13.319 But I do think it's going to pass. I think 2237 02:02:13.319 --> 02:02:16.600 they're gonna find a way. It's going to be rocky. 2238 02:02:17.640 --> 02:02:22.800 Right now, there appear to be four holdouts in the Senate. 2239 02:02:22.880 --> 02:02:27.159 For Republican holdouts, they can only lose three, so they're 2240 02:02:27.239 --> 02:02:30.680 trying to entice a couple to switch over. 2241 02:02:31.600 --> 02:02:33.520 Will they be able to do it? What will it take. 2242 02:02:34.199 --> 02:02:39.000 We're already twenty three hours into this amendment vodama, so 2243 02:02:39.279 --> 02:02:41.199 there's been a lot of drama. Most of it has 2244 02:02:41.279 --> 02:02:46.439 taken place off camera in those smoke filled back rooms of. 2245 02:02:46.520 --> 02:02:50.079 The Senate, but it is It is tense, there's no doubt. 2246 02:02:50.720 --> 02:02:54.000 Well and what really bothers me, and this is when 2247 02:02:54.079 --> 02:02:59.359 people's political stripe is truly revealed. Lisa Murkowski, for example, 2248 02:02:59.399 --> 02:03:02.199 from a one of the things she's complaining about is 2249 02:03:02.239 --> 02:03:05.319 one of the obstructionists on this thing moving forward, is 2250 02:03:05.479 --> 02:03:09.359 the Medicaid and nutritional assistance cuts in the bill. And 2251 02:03:09.560 --> 02:03:12.960 also she's pushing for slower phase outs and clean energy 2252 02:03:13.039 --> 02:03:15.680 tax credits. That's the part that irks me. You'd think 2253 02:03:15.720 --> 02:03:19.479 the Republicans will uniformly embrace the idea of phasing out 2254 02:03:19.560 --> 02:03:23.039 those clean energy tax credits because it's a big boondoggle. 2255 02:03:23.079 --> 02:03:25.399 I mean, those energy companies wouldn't exist but for the 2256 02:03:25.439 --> 02:03:28.159 tax credits anyway, who wouldn't be chasing our tail trying 2257 02:03:28.199 --> 02:03:32.319 to pursue a carbon neutral world, which is impossible. I 2258 02:03:32.399 --> 02:03:36.840 mean your thoughts on the energy tax credits alone, Bradley. 2259 02:03:38.079 --> 02:03:42.520 Well, they say there are three political parties in DC, Republicans, Democrats, 2260 02:03:42.600 --> 02:03:47.920 and appropriators. Lisa Murkowski is an appropriator. Her entire government 2261 02:03:48.000 --> 02:03:50.600 philosophy is what can I do to bring home as 2262 02:03:50.680 --> 02:03:54.880 much bacon to Alaska and to please my donors. When 2263 02:03:55.000 --> 02:03:59.920 Biden passed those Green New Deal tax credits and actually 2264 02:04:00.319 --> 02:04:01.399 started handing. 2265 02:04:01.159 --> 02:04:05.119 Him out, he was very smart. He gave maybe. 2266 02:04:04.960 --> 02:04:09.319 Around two thirds of them out in Republican states, and 2267 02:04:09.520 --> 02:04:12.880 it's I mean, it's the golden handcuffs. You get these, 2268 02:04:13.319 --> 02:04:16.159 you would think conservative states and a lot of conservative 2269 02:04:16.199 --> 02:04:19.960 politicians addicted to that federal money and they don't want 2270 02:04:20.000 --> 02:04:23.840 to give it up. Murkowski definitely falls in that camp. Look, 2271 02:04:24.279 --> 02:04:28.680 this is a mature industry. We've been subsidizing wind and 2272 02:04:28.840 --> 02:04:33.399 solar for decades and it still isn't viable. The technology 2273 02:04:33.560 --> 02:04:36.880 isn't there, and most of the technology now comes from China. 2274 02:04:37.119 --> 02:04:39.119 We need to get rid of that. Murkowski needs to 2275 02:04:39.159 --> 02:04:39.800 get on board. 2276 02:04:40.159 --> 02:04:42.439 Amen to that. Brother couldn't argue with that on that point. 2277 02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:45.840 And you know, I go from the philosophy. You know, 2278 02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:49.199 great ideas don't need coercion, and much in the same way, 2279 02:04:49.239 --> 02:04:51.920 great ideas don't need tax credits. If it's a good idea, 2280 02:04:51.960 --> 02:04:53.840 you're going to pursue it because it's in your best interest. 2281 02:04:54.279 --> 02:04:56.399 And this is clearly not a direction we would normally 2282 02:04:56.520 --> 02:04:56.760 go in. 2283 02:04:58.159 --> 02:04:58.520 One of the. 2284 02:05:00.119 --> 02:05:03.159 Things that may happen if they lose your more than 2285 02:05:03.199 --> 02:05:05.399 one senator and you find yourself in a position where 2286 02:05:05.399 --> 02:05:08.760 the bill can't pass, you can buy Senator Ran Paul 2287 02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:10.600 back if you get rid of the five trillion dollars 2288 02:05:10.600 --> 02:05:13.279 debt ceiling increase. I had seen that as a suggestion 2289 02:05:13.439 --> 02:05:16.479 of what might happen today. Is that possible in your eye. 2290 02:05:17.600 --> 02:05:20.720 It's a possibility. Trump will be livid. 2291 02:05:21.680 --> 02:05:26.239 It's the Democrats would have so much leverage for the 2292 02:05:26.319 --> 02:05:29.560 rest of the year, particularly in funding the government, which 2293 02:05:29.600 --> 02:05:32.439 we are going to have to do in some fashion 2294 02:05:32.520 --> 02:05:34.319 before the end of the fiscal year at the end 2295 02:05:34.359 --> 02:05:38.880 of September. So it would be so beneficial if Republicans 2296 02:05:39.159 --> 02:05:43.279 could actually get this off the table right now through 2297 02:05:43.399 --> 02:05:48.079 the midterms. Now, most Republicans disagree with the Congressional Budget Office, 2298 02:05:48.119 --> 02:05:51.800 which I've written about. It just has a long history 2299 02:05:52.000 --> 02:05:57.640 of promoting Democrat objectives and belittling Republicans and just being 2300 02:05:57.720 --> 02:06:00.479 totally wrong on all its budgetary projections. But a lot 2301 02:06:00.520 --> 02:06:04.079 of Republicans think that despite what the CBO says about 2302 02:06:04.079 --> 02:06:07.760 the deficits in this bill, that because of Trump's teariffs, 2303 02:06:08.000 --> 02:06:12.760 we're actually gonna see the economy grow significantly. Uh So 2304 02:06:12.960 --> 02:06:16.399 the debt the debt limit will not be as big 2305 02:06:16.520 --> 02:06:18.680 of a deal as it has been in the past. 2306 02:06:19.199 --> 02:06:21.159 Uh But look, the bottom line is that got to 2307 02:06:21.199 --> 02:06:23.039 find a way to get this done. 2308 02:06:23.680 --> 02:06:25.319 You have to secure the borders. 2309 02:06:25.800 --> 02:06:28.319 Uh or and and and do all this other stuff 2310 02:06:28.399 --> 02:06:31.920 to protect the country or else we're not even the 2311 02:06:32.119 --> 02:06:35.560 deaths it won't even matter. What what What does their 2312 02:06:35.600 --> 02:06:38.239 deficit matter if you've turned into a third world country. 2313 02:06:38.680 --> 02:06:40.920 Uh So, I think that because of everything that's in 2314 02:06:41.279 --> 02:06:45.520 this bill, immigration, border security, opening up energy, uh what 2315 02:06:45.640 --> 02:06:47.600 it does on taxes, goodness gracious. 2316 02:06:48.039 --> 02:06:50.159 Uh, I think that they've got to find a way 2317 02:06:50.239 --> 02:06:51.079 to get this done. 2318 02:06:51.560 --> 02:06:56.000 Uh preferably by extending the debt limit a little bit further. 2319 02:06:56.199 --> 02:06:58.520 But we'll see if they have to uh do that 2320 02:06:58.680 --> 02:07:01.159 to get Paul on board. I deally not. I think 2321 02:07:01.239 --> 02:07:03.079 that they'll be able to get Murkowski on board. 2322 02:07:03.880 --> 02:07:06.000 Well, I'm glad you bought up the CBO scoring and 2323 02:07:06.159 --> 02:07:09.439 I agree with your criticisms of the c CB. I 2324 02:07:09.479 --> 02:07:11.319 don't understand. It's like the alchemy or piece of God 2325 02:07:11.399 --> 02:07:13.279 to me. I don't know how they're able to project 2326 02:07:13.359 --> 02:07:15.359 ten years hence you know what this is ultimately going 2327 02:07:15.439 --> 02:07:17.760 to be by way of financial impact. But one of 2328 02:07:17.800 --> 02:07:20.560 the things I heard by way of criticism is that, 2329 02:07:20.640 --> 02:07:22.920 at least as I understood it, and Bradley Jay, if 2330 02:07:22.960 --> 02:07:25.720 you could help me, and if I'm misunderstanding it, the 2331 02:07:25.840 --> 02:07:30.319 CBO is viewing the extension of the Trump tax cuts 2332 02:07:31.079 --> 02:07:32.800 as part of the problem. In other words, we're not 2333 02:07:32.880 --> 02:07:34.880 bringing as much money as we would had the twenty 2334 02:07:34.920 --> 02:07:36.520 seventeen tax cuts not been a part of it. So 2335 02:07:36.560 --> 02:07:39.399 they're viewing it from the lens of pre twenty seventeen 2336 02:07:39.520 --> 02:07:44.000 taxing levels and assigning debt to the reduced levels that 2337 02:07:44.279 --> 02:07:47.680 we are currently enjoying right now. Is that's have some 2338 02:07:47.720 --> 02:07:49.560 measure of accuracy in your mind baseball on what I've 2339 02:07:49.600 --> 02:07:52.000 read or how I'm recollecting it. 2340 02:07:53.520 --> 02:07:57.399 Well, a lot of the discussion right now, and Democrats 2341 02:07:57.720 --> 02:08:01.000 lost this battle. It was the first vote that was 2342 02:08:01.079 --> 02:08:05.039 taken during this vodama on how the bill would be scored. 2343 02:08:06.640 --> 02:08:10.359 The twenty seventeen tax credits are set to expire at 2344 02:08:10.399 --> 02:08:13.239 the end of this year. When you are scoring the 2345 02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:15.720 rest of that year, or excuse me, when you're you're 2346 02:08:15.760 --> 02:08:18.640 scoring throughout the rest of the ten year window, do 2347 02:08:18.760 --> 02:08:22.600 you make the assumption that those tax credits would have 2348 02:08:22.800 --> 02:08:23.760 been extended. 2349 02:08:24.399 --> 02:08:26.920 That's what a lot of Republicans are saying, right They say, 2350 02:08:26.960 --> 02:08:27.439 you need to. 2351 02:08:27.439 --> 02:08:32.279 Look at the political practicalities of this, and Republicans were 2352 02:08:32.279 --> 02:08:35.760 never going to let a lot of those tax credits expire. 2353 02:08:36.079 --> 02:08:40.800 That's what Republicans are arguing. The CBO disagrees with that. 2354 02:08:42.000 --> 02:08:43.720 But but the bottom line is that it is in 2355 02:08:43.880 --> 02:08:47.640 the law that the Budget Committee chairman has the discretion 2356 02:08:47.880 --> 02:08:50.600 to choose how it is scored. This, I mean, the 2357 02:08:50.920 --> 02:08:54.800 Republicans and Democrats have done this before. So it's just 2358 02:08:54.920 --> 02:08:58.039 one more thing that Democrats are finding to pitch a 2359 02:08:58.119 --> 02:09:01.279 fit about. It is nice to the Democrats actually worried 2360 02:09:01.279 --> 02:09:07.479 about debt deficit, however disingenuous. But but they lost that 2361 02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:10.119 battle and we're marching on. That's pretty funny. 2362 02:09:10.359 --> 02:09:13.840 I have laughed literally out loud when I see the 2363 02:09:14.439 --> 02:09:17.279 chucky Schumers of the world screaming about how this increases 2364 02:09:17.600 --> 02:09:19.880 the hole we've dug ourselves in thus far by three 2365 02:09:19.920 --> 02:09:22.319 point three trillion dollars and he's complaining about it. It's like, 2366 02:09:22.560 --> 02:09:25.279 wait a second, when did he become a deficit hawk? 2367 02:09:25.479 --> 02:09:26.720 It's like it's comical. 2368 02:09:26.920 --> 02:09:30.319 Yeah, I mean they just were just a few years 2369 02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:34.640 away from them passing as the inflation reduction. Yeah, remember 2370 02:09:34.760 --> 02:09:39.600 that one, the one that fueled incredible record inflation we 2371 02:09:39.680 --> 02:09:43.760 hadn't seen since the Jimmy Carter era. Give me a break, 2372 02:09:43.880 --> 02:09:44.439 these guys have. 2373 02:09:44.520 --> 02:09:46.960 No credibility at all on this issue. 2374 02:09:47.279 --> 02:09:50.359 Now, Bradley Jay in terms of is this going to 2375 02:09:50.479 --> 02:09:54.039 end up being because we're not cutting a huge chunk 2376 02:09:54.119 --> 02:09:55.840 out of the government spending. I mean, if we're talking 2377 02:09:55.880 --> 02:09:59.800 about any increase in the deficit, then we're not cutting 2378 02:09:59.800 --> 02:10:01.600 an because we have a spending problem. I would like 2379 02:10:01.640 --> 02:10:03.720 to see, you know, every turn and you know, maybe 2380 02:10:03.840 --> 02:10:06.159 lower spending so we don't have a hole being dug 2381 02:10:06.239 --> 02:10:09.119 at all now. Elon Musk commented about this, He called 2382 02:10:09.119 --> 02:10:11.760 you the porky Big Party, the uniparty. He's planning on 2383 02:10:11.840 --> 02:10:15.840 launching his own America Party if this thing passes this 2384 02:10:16.920 --> 02:10:19.520 are are we missing an opportunity here to cut more? 2385 02:10:19.760 --> 02:10:22.000 Or is he just he outside of the box of 2386 02:10:22.119 --> 02:10:25.359 reality because this is not about discretionary spending. It can't 2387 02:10:25.399 --> 02:10:28.039 be or wouldn't be part of the reconciliation process. So 2388 02:10:28.159 --> 02:10:31.239 all the DOGE work on discretionary spending, as legitimate as 2389 02:10:31.279 --> 02:10:33.880 it was, couldn't be addressed in this bill anyway. But 2390 02:10:34.439 --> 02:10:35.359 could they cut more? 2391 02:10:35.520 --> 02:10:40.239 Bradley, Look, you know your stuff. You're you're exactly right. 2392 02:10:40.479 --> 02:10:44.720 This bill deals with mandatory spending. It's a reconciliation bill. 2393 02:10:44.800 --> 02:10:48.079 They're constraints on it. That's why you don't have to 2394 02:10:48.600 --> 02:10:51.640 that's why it's not subject to the filibus or that 2395 02:10:51.680 --> 02:10:53.800 sixty vote majority at only needs fifty votes. 2396 02:10:54.159 --> 02:10:55.439 This is mandatory spending. 2397 02:10:56.039 --> 02:10:59.880 In the appropriations process, we can start enacting a lot 2398 02:11:00.039 --> 02:11:02.399 of those DOGE cuts. That's where we can really take 2399 02:11:02.479 --> 02:11:06.239 the meat acts to some things, but we're very limited 2400 02:11:06.359 --> 02:11:07.840 in how we can use reconciliation. 2401 02:11:08.000 --> 02:11:10.000 It deals with spending. 2402 02:11:09.680 --> 02:11:14.119 Inue revenue, but we can't really enact these sweeping policy 2403 02:11:14.279 --> 02:11:17.199 changes in it now. As I mentioned earlier, we have 2404 02:11:17.439 --> 02:11:20.039 appropriations bills we have to pass before the end of 2405 02:11:20.119 --> 02:11:23.199 the fiscal year at the end of September. The House 2406 02:11:23.239 --> 02:11:27.199 has already passed one recisions package. It's been held up 2407 02:11:27.279 --> 02:11:33.439 in the Senate by surprise surprise, Appropriations Chairwoman Susan Collins. 2408 02:11:34.119 --> 02:11:38.039 We'll see what happens next week if they can amend 2409 02:11:38.119 --> 02:11:40.800 that and get it through the Senate. If so, we'll 2410 02:11:40.840 --> 02:11:45.560 see further recisions package. Just today there's some news rough 2411 02:11:45.720 --> 02:11:50.119 Vote is making a renewed effort to set up doing 2412 02:11:50.279 --> 02:11:55.159 pocket recisions, which is basically where you send a recisions 2413 02:11:55.199 --> 02:11:57.840 package right before the end of the fiscal year, and 2414 02:11:57.880 --> 02:12:00.920 if Congress doesn't act on it, you just deemed the 2415 02:12:01.000 --> 02:12:05.479 recisions package and acted. There's also impoundments. There's gonna be 2416 02:12:05.520 --> 02:12:09.039 a court battle when Trump, I think inevitably does that. 2417 02:12:09.479 --> 02:12:11.319 But Trump can just say, you know what, I'm the 2418 02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:15.399 chief executive. I don't have to spend this money. So 2419 02:12:15.520 --> 02:12:18.760 there are many other ways that we can do these 2420 02:12:19.800 --> 02:12:23.800 that we can find spending cuts, and there's a talk 2421 02:12:23.880 --> 02:12:27.399 of doing more reconciliation bills beginning in the fall. 2422 02:12:27.720 --> 02:12:29.000 So there are more bikes at. 2423 02:12:28.920 --> 02:12:31.159 The apple that we can get, and that's gonna be 2424 02:12:31.600 --> 02:12:34.159 a key part of Trump's argument to a lot of 2425 02:12:34.199 --> 02:12:38.960 these spending hawks in passing this bill before the Senate today. 2426 02:12:39.319 --> 02:12:41.640 All right, let's assume, for the sake of discussion today, 2427 02:12:41.680 --> 02:12:45.840 Bradley Jay, that day does pass in the Senate, it's 2428 02:12:45.960 --> 02:12:49.560 fate in the House because there is another critical vote 2429 02:12:49.560 --> 02:12:50.560 over in the House on this thing. 2430 02:12:50.880 --> 02:12:51.800 How do you see that going. 2431 02:12:54.039 --> 02:12:57.399 It's gonna be tough, There's no question about it. Again, 2432 02:12:57.479 --> 02:13:00.840 I think, because we'll have these other opportunity unities to 2433 02:13:01.039 --> 02:13:04.119 cut some of the discretionary spending, a lot of the 2434 02:13:04.199 --> 02:13:05.800 spending hawks will get on board. 2435 02:13:06.560 --> 02:13:06.920 Keep it on. 2436 02:13:07.119 --> 02:13:09.279 We don't know what this bill will look like right 2437 02:13:09.439 --> 02:13:09.840 Still a. 2438 02:13:09.880 --> 02:13:14.920 Few more Senate amendments on Medicaid and on those Green 2439 02:13:15.000 --> 02:13:19.279 New Deal subsidies that we are likely to see probably 2440 02:13:19.520 --> 02:13:20.119 this morning. 2441 02:13:20.880 --> 02:13:22.439 But the House is getting ready. 2442 02:13:22.920 --> 02:13:25.439 The House Rules Committee is meeting, well, it's supposed to 2443 02:13:25.479 --> 02:13:28.319 meet today at noon, assuming the Senate has passed the 2444 02:13:28.359 --> 02:13:31.479 bill by then. They're teeing up the first procedural vote 2445 02:13:31.680 --> 02:13:34.840 tomorrow morning at nine am. There is going to be 2446 02:13:35.000 --> 02:13:39.439 some intense pressure on some of these holdouts. But look, 2447 02:13:39.520 --> 02:13:42.279 Trump's been able to get it done so far, Yes 2448 02:13:42.359 --> 02:13:42.720 he has. 2449 02:13:43.319 --> 02:13:46.079 Now, I hope cooler heads prevail, you know, And honestly, 2450 02:13:46.079 --> 02:13:48.239 if you're an elected official from a state liking Lisa 2451 02:13:48.319 --> 02:13:51.159 Murkowski and you want to cut the Medicaid and she doesn't, 2452 02:13:51.159 --> 02:13:53.520 of course, you know, make the argument to your people. 2453 02:13:53.600 --> 02:13:55.039 You know, I went ahead and I signed on to 2454 02:13:55.079 --> 02:13:57.119 it in spite of the cuts of Medicaid because it 2455 02:13:57.239 --> 02:13:59.359 never should have been expanded in the first place. You 2456 02:13:59.439 --> 02:14:02.319 got able by adult people who are capable of working 2457 02:14:02.760 --> 02:14:04.800 on a program that was not designed to help them 2458 02:14:04.840 --> 02:14:08.560 because they aren't on life's margins. You know, it's like, sorry, 2459 02:14:08.680 --> 02:14:10.000 you know, we're gonna have to pay it back to 2460 02:14:10.000 --> 02:14:11.760 our Medicaid spending in the state. But it's good for 2461 02:14:11.800 --> 02:14:15.239 the American taxpayer generally speaking, and it cuts it a 2462 02:14:15.319 --> 02:14:17.439 large chunk of spending from the federal government. So in 2463 02:14:17.479 --> 02:14:19.520 the final analysis, we're all going to benefit from it. 2464 02:14:21.159 --> 02:14:21.880 Brian, you nailed it. 2465 02:14:22.199 --> 02:14:24.680 I couldn't have said it any better. At some point, 2466 02:14:25.319 --> 02:14:28.720 these politicians who've been in office for longer than some 2467 02:14:28.920 --> 02:14:31.600 of us have been alive need to put the actual 2468 02:14:31.720 --> 02:14:35.239 needs of their country before their political needs. 2469 02:14:35.840 --> 02:14:38.039 But look, this is Washington. We don't see a lot 2470 02:14:38.119 --> 02:14:41.159 of that unfortunately. Bradley J. 2471 02:14:41.680 --> 02:14:44.319 Right Bart, Deputy news director and former Capitol Hill staff or. 2472 02:14:44.319 --> 02:14:46.479 It's always a pleasure to have me on the program again. 2473 02:14:46.600 --> 02:14:49.640 Remind my listeners to bookmark the site brightbart dot com 2474 02:14:49.760 --> 02:14:51.880 so they can enjoy what you read and the rest 2475 02:14:51.920 --> 02:14:56.159 of the wonderful reporting, fresh good reporting, and the reporting 2476 02:14:56.239 --> 02:14:58.880 on things that you don't read in the mainstream media. 2477 02:14:59.359 --> 02:15:01.159 Keep up the great work, Bread.

They said, well, we've had 2524 02:17:21.200 --> 02:17:24.680 that repair. They said it was repaired, and I offered 2525 02:17:24.719 --> 02:17:28.360 them a suggestion of maybe starting a doze within the 2526 02:17:28.840 --> 02:17:33.440 city so that we can make sure that the job 2527 02:17:33.559 --> 02:17:37.440 is being done and we're being you know, paid for 2528 02:17:37.600 --> 02:17:42.200 a service and making it complete. But they quickly hung 2529 02:17:42.319 --> 02:17:46.040 up on me, and shortly afterwards it was taking care of. 2530 02:17:46.280 --> 02:17:48.879 But you were also I think a big, a big step. 2531 02:17:49.079 --> 02:17:51.399 Well I appreciate that. I'm not going to take credit 2532 02:17:51.520 --> 02:17:54.000 for it, but yeah, I think enough people out in 2533 02:17:54.079 --> 02:17:56.719 the world were complaining. I was not the only one, 2534 02:17:57.000 --> 02:17:58.879 so I kiss the word got out. 2535 02:17:59.840 --> 02:18:03.200 I literally went past there one evening and there was 2536 02:18:03.319 --> 02:18:09.520 somebody's front bumper sitting in that big preface. I was like, 2537 02:18:10.639 --> 02:18:13.280 oh my gosh, and that that was it. 2538 02:18:13.680 --> 02:18:14.079 That was it. 2539 02:18:14.239 --> 02:18:18.399 The next day I called the free one one, you know, 2540 02:18:20.040 --> 02:18:23.479 and called called the Mayor's office. But speaking of dog, 2541 02:18:24.600 --> 02:18:29.040 can you tell me this does actually have any plans 2542 02:18:29.159 --> 02:18:31.520 in place for a dog type committee. 2543 02:18:32.559 --> 02:18:34.000 I don't know what's going to happen on a going 2544 02:18:34.079 --> 02:18:36.719 forward basis. I know elon Musk is not necessary for 2545 02:18:36.799 --> 02:18:38.680 them to do that type of work. And my understanding 2546 02:18:38.799 --> 02:18:40.799 is it still exists as a concept and they're still 2547 02:18:40.840 --> 02:18:44.280 looking into fraud, waste, and abuse. The problem is you 2548 02:18:44.440 --> 02:18:47.360 just have to defund it completely. And I think that's 2549 02:18:47.440 --> 02:18:50.520 the direction that the that the administration is going toward, 2550 02:18:50.639 --> 02:18:53.600 because let's face it, uh, they uncovered a lot of fraud, 2551 02:18:53.639 --> 02:18:56.000 waste and abuse, ridiculous programs that you and I were 2552 02:18:56.040 --> 02:18:58.520 paying for, stuff that never should have been approved. So 2553 02:18:59.120 --> 02:19:01.600 it's a slow process. But again, if you just can't 2554 02:19:01.600 --> 02:19:04.000 address it with the Reconciliation bill, That's why one of 2555 02:19:04.040 --> 02:19:06.239 the things that I think Elon Musk's criticism is maybe 2556 02:19:06.280 --> 02:19:08.239 a little bit misplaced, although I do agree with what 2557 02:19:08.360 --> 02:19:12.799 he said about the insane spending from government. But thanks 2558 02:19:12.840 --> 02:19:15.120 for the hard work on the potholes, Susan. I appreciate 2559 02:19:15.159 --> 02:19:18.120 you making the call. Yeah, hopefully I'll be I'll still 2560 02:19:18.159 --> 02:19:20.799 be alive ultimately when they repave all of Sunset. 2561 02:19:20.920 --> 02:19:24.399 Not that I drive on it very much, but it's 2562 02:19:24.440 --> 02:19:27.840 like going through a war zone. Stick around.

Welcome back, 2588 02:20:43.280 --> 02:20:44.719 Daniel Davis. Always a pleasure to have you on the 2589 02:20:44.719 --> 02:20:45.920 fifty five KRC Morning Show. 2590 02:20:46.959 --> 02:20:49.079 Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having me. 2591 02:20:49.200 --> 02:20:51.440 All right, well, let's start with Ukraine. 2592 02:20:51.520 --> 02:20:53.760 I saw an article of Wall Street Journal Russia masses 2593 02:20:53.799 --> 02:20:58.520 fifty thousand troops around Sumi, putting Ukraine in precarious position. 2594 02:20:58.639 --> 02:21:01.680 They described as the Ukraine forces being outnumbered three to 2595 02:21:01.799 --> 02:21:05.760 one and some really high casualty numbers also going along 2596 02:21:05.799 --> 02:21:09.079 with that on a daily basis, Plus the Russians continue 2597 02:21:09.120 --> 02:21:12.639 to gain ground and take over more land. Not looking 2598 02:21:12.680 --> 02:21:14.360 real good for the Ukrainians right now, is it? 2599 02:21:16.040 --> 02:21:16.120 Ye? 2600 02:21:16.920 --> 02:21:19.879 That hasn't been looking good for the Ukrainians for years. 2601 02:21:20.799 --> 02:21:21.000 Man. 2602 02:21:21.040 --> 02:21:22.959 You can really go all the way back to the 2603 02:21:23.239 --> 02:21:26.799 end of twenty twenty two, where they had probably what's 2604 02:21:26.840 --> 02:21:29.559 going to be in history. Is there two signature successes 2605 02:21:29.600 --> 02:21:32.520 in this whole even at the tactical level, with the 2606 02:21:32.639 --> 02:21:36.440 taking of the Kirsoon City and the Kharkiv region when 2607 02:21:36.680 --> 02:21:40.600 they forced Russia back over thousands of square kilometers. Since 2608 02:21:40.719 --> 02:21:44.920 that time, it's been almost all downhill in the backwards 2609 02:21:44.959 --> 02:21:47.840 sense for the Ukraine side. It's beginning in the twenty 2610 02:21:47.879 --> 02:21:50.360 twenty three offensive where they were crushed in their attempt 2611 02:21:50.440 --> 02:21:53.360 to drive Russia out, and ever since that time they 2612 02:21:53.399 --> 02:21:55.200 have been on the defensive, and as you pointed out, 2613 02:21:55.680 --> 02:22:00.000 evidence suggested Russia's ramping up for a pretty solid summer 2614 02:22:00.200 --> 02:22:02.040 offensive really across the whole front line. 2615 02:22:02.120 --> 02:22:03.879 You mentioned that in the Sumi area. 2616 02:22:04.200 --> 02:22:08.719 Interesting thing about that claim of fifty thousand it seems 2617 02:22:08.799 --> 02:22:12.360 to be that they're prioritizing the Russians numbers of troops 2618 02:22:12.639 --> 02:22:16.079 and not so much like mechanized forces and tanks and 2619 02:22:16.200 --> 02:22:19.600 the armored personnel carries, et cetera, which implies that they're 2620 02:22:19.680 --> 02:22:23.479 still and they're going to ramp up their preferred strategy tactic, 2621 02:22:23.959 --> 02:22:27.719 which is to cause Ukrainian casualties, not so much to 2622 02:22:27.760 --> 02:22:29.159 take ground, because you're not going to take a lot 2623 02:22:29.200 --> 02:22:32.639 of ground without a lot of mechanized forces and other 2624 02:22:32.719 --> 02:22:35.040 things to allow you to get further down the field. 2625 02:22:35.440 --> 02:22:37.159 But they do have enough to get up to the 2626 02:22:37.239 --> 02:22:40.040 line and then continue to have casualty. So I doubt 2627 02:22:40.079 --> 02:22:42.159 you'll see a big movement in terms of how much 2628 02:22:42.479 --> 02:22:44.879 territory is taken here in the next coming months, but 2629 02:22:45.040 --> 02:22:47.440 you will continue to see a very high casualty rate. 2630 02:22:47.719 --> 02:22:50.239 And as we've talked before, it's a zero sum deal 2631 02:22:50.360 --> 02:22:52.920 and the Ukraine side just doesn't have men to replace 2632 02:22:53.000 --> 02:22:54.159 those they lose well. 2633 02:22:54.280 --> 02:22:56.719 And I was thinking that along along the lines of well, 2634 02:22:56.799 --> 02:23:00.200 if they ask for more military hardware, then they I mean, 2635 02:23:00.239 --> 02:23:02.719 you have to have someone to operate it. And with 2636 02:23:02.840 --> 02:23:05.799 a declining number of people behind, you know, triggers in 2637 02:23:05.879 --> 02:23:08.559 the Ukrainian military force, which is the direction that's going, 2638 02:23:08.600 --> 02:23:13.040 they're running out of people. I mean, extra equipment in 2639 02:23:13.200 --> 02:23:16.159 arms is not going to help them with their depleted forces. 2640 02:23:16.200 --> 02:23:17.559 It doesn't seem I mean, I don't know if they're 2641 02:23:17.559 --> 02:23:19.639 clamoring for more from aid from the United States, what 2642 02:23:19.799 --> 02:23:22.520 NATO's position is on this visa. You giving them additional 2643 02:23:22.639 --> 02:23:25.959 arms and weapons. But you know, back to my fundamental point. 2644 02:23:27.959 --> 02:23:30.440 Well, and that's been my frustration, especially in the Hague 2645 02:23:30.479 --> 02:23:32.559 with a NATO meeting, and you know, all these big 2646 02:23:33.040 --> 02:23:35.200 meetings that you keep seeing all over the television, and 2647 02:23:35.600 --> 02:23:38.440 Zelensky again when he's making these speeches and everybody's cheering 2648 02:23:38.559 --> 02:23:40.920 loudly and all this kind of stuff, and they're talking 2649 02:23:40.920 --> 02:23:42.680 about how the you know, NATO's gonna go up to 2650 02:23:42.760 --> 02:23:45.000 five percent to GDP in the next ten years, and 2651 02:23:45.200 --> 02:23:46.559 a lot of that's going to Ukraine. 2652 02:23:46.600 --> 02:23:48.559 They're going to give them X Y and z et cetera. 2653 02:23:48.879 --> 02:23:51.520 The Zelensky's talking, I need air defense missiles, and I 2654 02:23:51.559 --> 02:23:54.639 can certainly understand his desire to have that, but no 2655 02:23:54.920 --> 02:24:00.440 one in this all of this self congratulatory parade talks 2656 02:24:00.440 --> 02:24:03.559 about the fact that you just mentioned here about the personnel. 2657 02:24:03.959 --> 02:24:05.920 If we give you all this stuff, who is going 2658 02:24:06.000 --> 02:24:08.040 to operate it? Because there is a dearth of people 2659 02:24:08.079 --> 02:24:11.840 to the front line. They still are having terrible situations 2660 02:24:11.879 --> 02:24:15.319 where they are grabbing men off the streets. In Ukraine, 2661 02:24:15.360 --> 02:24:18.840 they're talking about lowering the age of mobilization down to eighteen. 2662 02:24:18.959 --> 02:24:21.719 It's terrifying a lot of parents, and there's a lot 2663 02:24:21.799 --> 02:24:24.479 of people leaving the country trying to get out, especially 2664 02:24:24.520 --> 02:24:26.520 if they have sixteen seventeen year old kids. They want 2665 02:24:26.520 --> 02:24:29.000 to get them out before it gets to eighteen, et cetera. 2666 02:24:29.559 --> 02:24:32.040 There's just no people to continue to operate this. So 2667 02:24:32.200 --> 02:24:34.239 you're going down a path that's going to say we'll 2668 02:24:34.280 --> 02:24:36.680 lose a little bit slower if we get this stuff, 2669 02:24:37.079 --> 02:24:38.440 but it's not going to change the outcome. 2670 02:24:38.520 --> 02:24:39.639 You will lose well. 2671 02:24:39.680 --> 02:24:42.040 And they've got Grandpa's behind the trigger out there on 2672 02:24:42.079 --> 02:24:43.879 the front lines too. I mean, we're talking, you know, 2673 02:24:44.040 --> 02:24:46.639 some seniors out there that have taken up arms and 2674 02:24:47.159 --> 02:24:49.719 trying to defend their country, whether they want to or 2675 02:24:49.879 --> 02:24:51.840 whether they were pulled out of a bar and we're 2676 02:24:51.920 --> 02:24:57.600 told to. That's just as reflectible, very desperate situation on 2677 02:24:59.280 --> 02:25:01.559 You mentioned the five percent that Trump was able to 2678 02:25:01.600 --> 02:25:04.159 get the or the NATO forces to contribute to their 2679 02:25:04.200 --> 02:25:06.280 own defense, which I'm glad to see happening, and we've 2680 02:25:06.280 --> 02:25:08.000 been footing the bill to defend them now forever. 2681 02:25:08.760 --> 02:25:08.879 Uh. 2682 02:25:09.159 --> 02:25:12.799 But that's a gradual process. Just because they're there and 2683 02:25:12.879 --> 02:25:15.399 they agree that, okay, five percent of GDP is going 2684 02:25:15.479 --> 02:25:18.719 to go to they have to build up their militaries. 2685 02:25:19.120 --> 02:25:22.200 They don't have sizeable military forces right now. They're going 2686 02:25:22.280 --> 02:25:25.600 to have to acquire the weaponry and the machinery and 2687 02:25:25.680 --> 02:25:28.200 the hardware, which is going to be a gradual acquisition. 2688 02:25:28.879 --> 02:25:31.200 Just by them agreeing to do that doesn't benefit Ukraine 2689 02:25:31.200 --> 02:25:31.479 at all. 2690 02:25:32.799 --> 02:25:34.239 Well, it doesn't. 2691 02:25:34.280 --> 02:25:37.000 And in fact, there's when you peer a little bit 2692 02:25:37.040 --> 02:25:40.159 more into the details of what's been claimed. Despite all 2693 02:25:40.200 --> 02:25:42.200 the happy headlines and the claims that we're going to 2694 02:25:42.239 --> 02:25:44.639 go to this five percent, which is a staggering amount 2695 02:25:44.879 --> 02:25:47.399 above what they've been doing for decades by the way, Yeah, 2696 02:25:47.920 --> 02:25:50.000 then you look at the details and they're saying, yeah, 2697 02:25:50.079 --> 02:25:54.639 we'll do another reassessment about a year after Trump leaves 2698 02:25:54.680 --> 02:25:58.680 his office. So all this congratulations in claims that they're 2699 02:25:58.680 --> 02:26:01.600 gonna do this or that for for NATO, and you 2700 02:26:01.719 --> 02:26:05.440 saw Mark Rucha, the NATO Secretary General, just lathering up 2701 02:26:05.520 --> 02:26:08.479 Trump one side and down the other, crazing him in 2702 02:26:08.600 --> 02:26:11.680 public and saying all these wonderful things. But call me 2703 02:26:11.719 --> 02:26:13.959 a cynical, but I think that a lot of these 2704 02:26:14.079 --> 02:26:17.319 European leaders have no intention to ever meet five percent. 2705 02:26:17.639 --> 02:26:19.639 But they just want to get Trump off the stage 2706 02:26:19.680 --> 02:26:23.120 into well they can get a more amenable president maybe 2707 02:26:23.200 --> 02:26:26.079 that might not be as concerned as he is about, 2708 02:26:26.280 --> 02:26:29.280 you know, not doing more than our share and allowing 2709 02:26:29.319 --> 02:26:29.799 them not to. 2710 02:26:30.000 --> 02:26:32.239 So I just called me skeptical. We'll see how it 2711 02:26:32.319 --> 02:26:32.760 works out. 2712 02:26:32.879 --> 02:26:34.959 Yeah, but you're talking ten years and they have all 2713 02:26:35.000 --> 02:26:37.440 their own domestic economic issues. There's going to be a 2714 02:26:37.479 --> 02:26:40.079 lot of elections between now and then. I'm just put 2715 02:26:40.120 --> 02:26:41.959 me in the will see camp. Yeah, I'm with you 2716 02:26:42.040 --> 02:26:44.680 wholeheartedly on that. I'm Jaden and cinecal about most everything. 2717 02:26:44.760 --> 02:26:46.479 So yeah, I'm going to wait and keep my popcorn out, 2718 02:26:46.520 --> 02:26:49.000 wait to see what they actually do. And let's face it, yeah, 2719 02:26:49.000 --> 02:26:51.319 they might have conceded a Trump's demands, at least on paper, 2720 02:26:51.719 --> 02:26:53.280 just to sort of get them in the room with 2721 02:26:53.360 --> 02:26:54.879 him when he hit sits down with him and talks 2722 02:26:54.879 --> 02:26:56.440 about tariffs. You know, it's like, you don't want to 2723 02:26:56.440 --> 02:26:59.120 be in a bad position visa v. Trump if per agree, 2724 02:26:59.159 --> 02:27:01.079 if you have the negotia with him. All right, let's 2725 02:27:01.079 --> 02:27:03.879 pivot over to the situation in Iran. Is in Israel, 2726 02:27:04.959 --> 02:27:08.040 I personally have no idea how much damage was done 2727 02:27:08.079 --> 02:27:09.799 to the Irani nuclear facilities. 2728 02:27:09.879 --> 02:27:10.840 I haven't been in there. 2729 02:27:10.879 --> 02:27:13.239 I think people are still struggling over one whether or 2730 02:27:13.319 --> 02:27:18.639 not it's been damaged for months or years. I guess 2731 02:27:18.920 --> 02:27:21.040 the significant takeaway from me is at least there's a 2732 02:27:21.120 --> 02:27:23.639 ceasefire and they're not dropping bombs on each other and 2733 02:27:23.799 --> 02:27:24.440 killing each other. 2734 02:27:24.559 --> 02:27:26.079 Right now, do you see that lasting? 2735 02:27:26.520 --> 02:27:28.520 I mean, some of the statements from the Iranian officials 2736 02:27:28.520 --> 02:27:30.360 that are still alive are a little bit troubling, most 2737 02:27:30.399 --> 02:27:32.760 notably the fatois that was issued on Trump and net 2738 02:27:32.840 --> 02:27:34.440 and Yahoo the other day. That doesn't that's not a 2739 02:27:34.440 --> 02:27:37.040 step in the right direction. But whatever, But how do 2740 02:27:37.120 --> 02:27:37.520 you see this? 2741 02:27:38.600 --> 02:27:41.040 Yeah, Frankly, you have those kind of statements coming from 2742 02:27:41.120 --> 02:27:44.920 all three parties, the US, Israel, and Iran. So in 2743 02:27:45.040 --> 02:27:47.840 my view, this is nothing but a pause because all 2744 02:27:47.959 --> 02:27:51.319 three parties needed it. We needed it because especially with 2745 02:27:51.680 --> 02:27:54.040 what we're still trying to do with Ukraine and what 2746 02:27:54.200 --> 02:27:55.920 we had tried to do in the Red Sea, and 2747 02:27:56.000 --> 02:27:58.520 then now with this, we didn't have enough air defense 2748 02:27:58.680 --> 02:28:02.840 interceptor missiles or offensive missiles to maintain a steady state 2749 02:28:02.959 --> 02:28:06.319 offensive that could have lasted many months. For example, between 2750 02:28:06.399 --> 02:28:11.120 Iran and Israel. Israel obviously was running short on interceptor missiles. 2751 02:28:11.120 --> 02:28:13.079 They'd been firing, you know, for a long time here, 2752 02:28:13.120 --> 02:28:14.840 and now then they stepped up, and you know, the 2753 02:28:14.920 --> 02:28:18.639 Iranian showed that they had a significant capacity for missiles 2754 02:28:18.719 --> 02:28:20.920 despite what some may have believed. I think you and 2755 02:28:21.000 --> 02:28:22.520 I've been talking on this show for a long time 2756 02:28:22.600 --> 02:28:25.479 that Iran did have the capability to penetrate the iron 2757 02:28:25.520 --> 02:28:28.680 Dome system, and now they've proven it. And Israel doesn't 2758 02:28:28.760 --> 02:28:32.239 have the capacity to endure that kind of sustained hit, 2759 02:28:32.280 --> 02:28:34.680 and they've never suffered this in their entire history to 2760 02:28:34.760 --> 02:28:36.479 the level they have here, and they can't sustain it. 2761 02:28:36.840 --> 02:28:40.360 Iran also couldn't sustain what they were enduring because they 2762 02:28:40.440 --> 02:28:43.159 basically had lost their air defense system. So the Israeli 2763 02:28:43.239 --> 02:28:45.959 jets were flying with virtual impunity along with the well 2764 02:28:46.600 --> 02:28:49.040 so yeah, so the bottom line, everybody needed a pause, 2765 02:28:49.239 --> 02:28:52.479 But nobody has changed their position. Nothing has been accomplished, 2766 02:28:52.719 --> 02:28:54.399 so as far as I can see, we're just waiting 2767 02:28:54.440 --> 02:28:55.200 for it to restart. 2768 02:28:55.799 --> 02:29:00.680 Okay, and I guess given the incredible Israeli intelligence, we've 2769 02:29:00.680 --> 02:29:02.799 got to give them props for you know, sneaking in 2770 02:29:03.000 --> 02:29:06.159 and setting everything up for this this strike that they did. 2771 02:29:06.239 --> 02:29:07.920 I mean, it seems to me that's changed the whole 2772 02:29:08.000 --> 02:29:10.799 nature of warfare when you consider drune technology and how 2773 02:29:10.959 --> 02:29:13.920 you know, moving in and hiding things close to the 2774 02:29:14.079 --> 02:29:18.120 targets is an achievable objective. But don't you think given 2775 02:29:18.360 --> 02:29:21.280 these rocket batteries, these missile batteries, I would argue they 2776 02:29:21.319 --> 02:29:25.479 take up some large space that Iranian intelligence or Israeli 2777 02:29:25.479 --> 02:29:26.920 intelligence would know where they are. 2778 02:29:27.479 --> 02:29:29.200 So these this open air. 2779 02:29:29.159 --> 02:29:31.360 Space that they were able to get and achieve, it 2780 02:29:31.520 --> 02:29:34.719 just seems to invite launches of more air strikes to 2781 02:29:34.799 --> 02:29:37.280 blow up the very missiles that they can't shoot down 2782 02:29:37.360 --> 02:29:39.159 once they arrived in Israeli airspace. 2783 02:29:39.840 --> 02:29:42.159 Well, they certainly wanted to do that, but Iran for 2784 02:29:42.399 --> 02:29:44.879 decades has been well aware that if they got into 2785 02:29:44.959 --> 02:29:47.879 a fight with Israel, that this is how the fight 2786 02:29:47.959 --> 02:29:51.120 would be done. So they put very few of their 2787 02:29:51.280 --> 02:29:53.600 launchers out in the open to be seen, or like 2788 02:29:53.680 --> 02:29:56.000 in buildings that where it can be easily identified and 2789 02:29:56.159 --> 02:29:58.719 the building blown up. So they've all been the majority 2790 02:29:58.799 --> 02:30:01.399 have been underground where they remain, so they have this 2791 02:30:01.520 --> 02:30:04.079 situation where like in actually North Korea has. 2792 02:30:04.040 --> 02:30:05.879 Done this for many decades, and that may be where 2793 02:30:05.920 --> 02:30:06.559 they originated. 2794 02:30:06.600 --> 02:30:09.000 The idea is that there there is like you know, 2795 02:30:09.120 --> 02:30:13.239 these hardened caves, and then the blast doors will open, 2796 02:30:13.559 --> 02:30:16.520 the launcher will come out, it will fire's load, and 2797 02:30:16.559 --> 02:30:18.680 then it'll go back in there. So unless you have 2798 02:30:18.760 --> 02:30:21.719 a plane in the air just looking or a drone 2799 02:30:21.760 --> 02:30:24.239 of some sort that can have a target of opportunity 2800 02:30:24.280 --> 02:30:26.479 in minutes, you can't get up there before the thing's 2801 02:30:26.520 --> 02:30:30.000 back in its container. So it's very, very difficult to 2802 02:30:30.040 --> 02:30:32.079 do that. And we don't even know how many missiles 2803 02:30:32.120 --> 02:30:35.319 and launchers Iran actually has. You know, I saw some 2804 02:30:35.600 --> 02:30:38.559 people claiming that forty percent of the launchers had been destroyed, 2805 02:30:38.559 --> 02:30:40.280 because that seems to be the key issue. You can 2806 02:30:40.319 --> 02:30:42.639 have a million missiles, but if you don't have any launchers, 2807 02:30:42.680 --> 02:30:45.520 it's meaningless. I don't think anyone really knows how many 2808 02:30:45.600 --> 02:30:48.479 launchers they have to know what percentage has been damaged, 2809 02:30:48.520 --> 02:30:50.920 So I would not expect that that's going to go 2810 02:30:50.959 --> 02:30:51.799 away anytime soon. 2811 02:30:51.920 --> 02:30:54.760 And I imagine they're spread far and wide geographically too, 2812 02:30:55.000 --> 02:30:58.120 so absolutely are fair enough retire with ten Colonel Daniel Davis, 2813 02:30:58.120 --> 02:31:00.120 always a real pleasure having on the program.
