Thanks to them, Michael Walsh got the book 27 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.680 A Rage to Conquer Twelve Battles that changed the course 28 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.680 of Western History. Michael joined the program dato A five 29 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.400 on that one and the AA Jay Ratliffe on the 30 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.359 Rundown as he is every Thursday at eight thirty. Today, 31 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.599 we talked about the latest on the Delta Toronto crash. 32 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.959 I did get a chance to watch the video of that. Wow, 33 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.240 that's just amazing that no one died in that just 34 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.800 really mind boggling. See if he has any insight onto 35 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.639 how that actually happened. I've heard lots of speculation on 36 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.759 a plane hit the ground too hard, the wind was 37 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.120 blowing sideways, all kinds of speculation on that. Trump firing 38 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.680 hundreds of FAA employees and calls in space X to 39 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:33.000 see about needed FAA upgrades. We all know the antiquated 40 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.599 system they're using the Federal Aviation Administration and the control 41 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.439 towers for airplanes. That goes back to like the nineteen 42 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.840 fifties or post World War two. So yeah, probably needed 43 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.319 an upgrade. It reminds me of the City of Cincinnati, 44 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.000 just you know, having all of these projects that need 45 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.199 to be done, infrastructure that's already in place. Ask screw it, 46 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.039 we need something new. Let's go build something new and 47 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:03.919 then ignore that. Please see General Aviation crash claims two 48 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.599 lives in a mid air collition. That one just happened 49 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.319 the other day. We'll talk about that with Jay see 50 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.400 what he knows about it. And Airlines added again seeking 51 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:22.719 to reverse December rule requiring penalties for breaking wheelchairs. Okay, 52 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.840 oh man, and pardon me if I'm struggling a little 53 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.280 bit today. I don't know anybody listening audience has had 54 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.240 the laser treatment for glaucoma. I do have a family 55 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.599 history of glaucoma, and guess what have valcoma. So after 56 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.400 taking drops for many years, apparently the drops don't work 57 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.759 after a while, and then you get a little holes 58 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.159 blasted in your eyeball with a laser. I had that 59 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.080 done yesterday in my right eye and supposed to be 60 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.439 done again next week for my left My eye hurts 61 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.360 like hell today and I'm having a difficult time focusing. 62 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.080 So if I fumble around a little bit more than normal, 63 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.400 and I always fumble around, you know the reason why 64 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.439 I've got my lights turned pretty low in here today 65 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.560 because it's kind of light sensitive as well. Anyhow, sorry 66 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.400 for my you know, just letting you know about my 67 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.360 own personal troubles. These so don't try to labor the 68 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.039 listening audience with them, but just trying to provide you 69 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.360 an advanced explanation. Five on three, seven four nine fifty, 70 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.519 five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk 71 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.480 hit pound five fifty. If you have an AT and 72 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.240 T phone, save me from myself, feel free to call. 73 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.800 I thought this was cool. I will see if it stands. 74 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.360 I probably someone will immediately rush into court to see 75 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.920 if they can unring the bell that Donald Trump rang 76 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.279 last evening by signing an executive order ending the use 77 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.519 of your taxpayer money for federal resources supporting illegal immigration 78 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:51.319 and illegal aliens. You can do that, apparently, so at 79 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.000 least you can try, they said, the goal of the 80 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.199 executive order is to ensure that quote, taxpayer resources are 81 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.720 used to protect the interest of American citizens, not illegal aliens. Apparently, 82 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.000 under the order of the federal departments and agencies have 83 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:12.720 to identify and end all federally funded programs providing financial 84 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.399 benefits to illegal aliens. Also seeks to ensure federal funds 85 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:24.839 are not being used to support sanctuary policies and parathetically, 86 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.519 we learned yesterday from Judge ent To Polatano interesting column 87 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:33.600 on that one. The DOJ tabled the prosecution of Mayor 88 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.800 Eric Adams in return for his agreement to help the 89 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.360 federal government get rid of the illegal aliens, most notably 90 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.759 the illegal immigrant criminals that are plaguing New York. Some 91 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.759 people a little miffed about that. I think Judge of 92 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.160 Polatana called it out on an ethical question whether or 93 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.759 not that should even be, that it is even appropriate, 94 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.639 which on many levels I understand, But it was just 95 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.480 the funny thing about it was dismissed without prejudice, which 96 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:07.920 in the law means they just stopped the prosecution, but 97 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.879 they can reopen it at any time in the future, 98 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.279 So they've got this, as the judge referred it, sort 99 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.720 of damnically. He's hanging over Adam's head. So to the 100 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.759 extent he doesn't make good on his promises to cooperate 101 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.759 with Ice and federal authorities dealing with the illegal immigrant 102 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.160 criminal population and getting rid of them, then they'll just 103 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.319 open the litigation or the criminal prosecution back up. A 104 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.759 dismissal without prejudice means it's done and over with stick 105 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.279 a fork in it. You can't bring it back anyhow. 106 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.079 Subtle distinction that, but fifty five care sea dot com 107 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.720 for the podcastfeeding in here get to hear judge ended 108 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:49.879 a politana's analysis anyway. According to the reporting, the order states, 109 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.160 my administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against 110 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.720 the waste of hard earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits 111 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:02.680 for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans. 112 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.600 According to the fact sheet issued by the White House, 113 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.480 President Trump is committed to safeguarding federal public benefits for 114 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.879 American citizens who are truly in need, including, as I mentioned, 115 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:19.319 individuals with disabilities and veterans. So the corresponding White House 116 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:24.839 fact sheet quotes the executive order that Donald Trump signed 117 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.959 cut and paste now in terms of facts and figures, 118 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.000 whopping amounts spent on illegal immigration. You if you work 119 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:45.279 and pay taxes, we're responsible for an estimated four hundred 120 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:52.959 and fifty one billion dollars to care for illegal immigrants 121 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.560 and guideways in the United States unlawfully since just twenty 122 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.279 twenty one. And that is according to the US House 123 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.040 and Homeland Security Committee. They did the number crunching on 124 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:08.800 that one You, if you work and Pay taxes, has 125 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.839 spent one hundred and eighty two billion, at least annually 126 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.720 to cover the cost of twenty million illegal aliens and 127 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.839 their children. Sixty six point five billion of that federal 128 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.519 dollars and one hundred and fifteen point six billion from 129 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:34.159 state and local expenses. Apparently, the Center for Immigration Studies 130 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.840 estimated that one million illegal aliens cost the American taxpayers 131 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:47.639 three billion dollars annually through welfare programs, which are not 132 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.440 supposed to be available to those unlawfully in the United 133 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:57.480 States according to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation 134 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.960 Act in nineteen ninety six. Now I'll be the first person, 135 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.559 todmit I wasn't aware of that law. A lot of 136 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.360 people have been asking the question out loud, how is 137 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.480 it that an illegal immigrant can get money from the 138 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.039 federal government. How is it that we keep buying and 139 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:16.039 paying for stuff and things for folks who are here illegally. Well, 140 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:25.240 according to Fox News reporting, they're not under that particular act. However, 141 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:32.080 there is apparently a caveat illegal aliens granted parole become 142 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.559 classified as qualified aliens when it comes to welfare programs, 143 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.679 allowing them to become eligible for benefits with full eligibility 144 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.360 granted after five years. So maybe it's that parole component 145 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.840 that Biden put into place. If you are declared a 146 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.240 parole EU are now eligible in spite of that specific 147 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.879 Reconciliation Act in nineteen ninety six. Hmm, magical, isn't it. 148 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.679 Let's see here, Executive orders stated the federal and state 149 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.120 taxpayers paid more than sixteen point two billion dollars to 150 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:14.840 provide Medicaid funded emergency services to illegal aliens. That estimate 151 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.679 from the Congressional Budget Office, not some Republican subcommittee puting 152 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.120 numbers together for people who are skeptical and cenecal. But 153 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.360 you can be skeptic golden cenecal about the Congressional Budget 154 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.960 Office numbers as well. I'm just quoting the figures that 155 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.960 they came up with. It's a lot of money, is 156 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:33.080 the point. Facts, She continued to bude administration gave billions 157 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.879 and taxpayer dollars to left wing groups that facilitated mass 158 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.039 illegal migration and provided legal services and challenges to deportation orders. 159 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.279 They also pointed out FEMA allocated more than one billion 160 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.919 billion dollars to illegal aliens since twenty twenty one, rather 161 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.679 than FEMA money going to say, the flooded folks in 162 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:57.919 North Carolina, which comes up in conversation regularly, and as 163 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.000 I suppose, I don't know if it's connected with this 164 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.279 specific ill order that he signed last night, or it's 165 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.480 because Doge has been cracking down on a lot of 166 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:17.440 these out payments. The US Catholic Bishops have sued the 167 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:23.519 Trump administration for shutting down refugee funding, and it amounts 168 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.399 to tens of millions of dollars. So you get hooked 169 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.440 up to the aubilical court of the federal government, even 170 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.960 if you're the US Catholic Bishops and the Catholic Church. 171 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.200 That isn't money you can count on. How much are 172 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.519 the parishioners going to give you in church on Sunday? 173 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.840 You don't know how much is the federal government going 174 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.960 to give you and how long will they fund your program? 175 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.840 You don't know, you're not entitled to. It would be 176 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:47.799 my argument we can get to take a little bit 177 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.720 of a dive into the specifics of those allegations in 178 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.720 the lawsuit. But the Trump administration also halted seven hundred 179 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:59.519 and sixty nine million dollars for a contract to a 180 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:05.440 left wing group that is really all about keeping the 181 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:10.000 illegal immigrants in our country and doing anything they can 182 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:16.759 within their power to stop deportation under any circumstances. So 183 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:23.039 you have advocacy groups, groups that are actively facilitating bringing 184 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:29.120 illegal immigrants into our country and advocating that there shouldn't 185 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:37.080 be any specific exclusion on them, that the system is 186 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.799 designed intentionally designed to exploit, exclude criminalized detainer to poor 187 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.320 people deemed to be undeserving of inclusion in our national fabric, 188 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:51.399 particularly black and brown people. The Acacias Center seven hundred 189 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.039 and sixty nine million dollars for the services they provide, 190 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.120 when that is the advocacy that they're involved with. Now, 191 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.279 I'm tired of paying for messaging the flies in face 192 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.919 of what I believe in, and well ultimately messaging an 193 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.360 impact which is harmful to the American people. Go back 194 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.840 to the budget amounts and the expenditures I just mentioned, 195 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.320 and we're broke by the way, five eighteen ft five 196 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.399 kr CD talk station, be right back. 197 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.960 Taking the court. 198 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:30.039 Five at fifty five KRCD talk station five one three, seven, 199 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.240 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to 200 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:33.879 three talk go with pound five fifty if you have 201 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.240 an AT and T phone at five kr SE dot 202 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.759 com or for George Brenneman and the Restore Wellness Campaign. 203 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:47.200 Also Judge editor Politano Love talking to Daniel Davis, Deep Dive, 204 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.960 Breitbart Inside Scoop all the podcasts right there, as well 205 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.960 as an opportunity to get the iHeart Media, which I 206 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.840 strongly encourage you to download. So back over to the 207 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.639 US Cathleen Bishops fire in a lawsuit and where are 208 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.799 the where are all this separation of church and state people? 209 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.519 I mean, at every turn, the left jumps out of 210 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:10.039 their skin when you find out that federal money or 211 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.240 even state money ends up in the hands of some 212 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.480 religious organization and they, you know, ACLU or somebody runs 213 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.360 in the court to try to stop that from happening. 214 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.480 How come it's different when all these religious organizations are 215 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:28.440 getting your taxpayer dollars to facilitate illegal immigration in our country, 216 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.639 not mean just helping people out once they're here, but 217 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.799 actually to engage in active you know, bringing them in. 218 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:42.440 So I I'm just curious to know what happened to 219 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:48.600 them usually crawling out of the woodwork. And isn't one 220 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.759 of the missions that when you give money to if 221 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.600 you're a Catholic, give money in the plate. Isn't part 222 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.759 of the money to serve the Christian mission of helping 223 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.639 people in need? 224 00:14:58.679 --> 00:14:58.799 Now? 225 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.360 I know you got to pay for the big building 226 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.480 in the church and the HVAC system and the salary 227 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.320 of the people that worked there, and on and on 228 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.399 and on and on and on. But I thought a 229 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.279 slice of the action was supposed to go to help 230 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.480 fulfill the Christian mission. Isn't why you used the church 231 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:13.879 in order to fulfill the mission? 232 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.200 Right? 233 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.639 Well, you're talking with their own priest about that, But 234 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.320 apparently they have to rely on federal dollars. So we 235 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:25.919 have this non governmental organization Catholic non governmental organizations final 236 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.399 lawsuit against the Trump administration because they halted funding for 237 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:34.360 the refugee resettlement program found in the US District Court 238 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:39.440 of District Columbia. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops said 239 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.519 that six thousand and seven hundred admitted refugees were assigned 240 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.960 to the program for Refugee Resettlement, and then the Trump 241 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:56.080 administration ended its funding, which they claim could jeopardize their efforts. 242 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.399 Bishops apparently claimed that the funding means it is now 243 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.360 on the hook for millions in costs incurred, which they 244 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.200 suggest as the violation of federal laws. In other words, 245 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.159 you promised us the money. We actively entered into, you know, 246 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.600 a belief that you were going to give us the money, 247 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.879 requiring us and obligating us to you know, follow through 248 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:21.759 with it, and now the money's cut off. Well, if 249 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:27.200 this is part of the Catholic mission, maybe as slice 250 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.080 of that plate, money should fill the void here that 251 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:37.399 the Trump administration is taken away just saying, according to 252 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.639 the lawsuit, as a direct result of the suspension of 253 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.080 the USCCCB has millions of dollars in pending unpaid reimbursements 254 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.559 for services already rendered to refugees, and is accruing millions 255 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.000 more each week, with no indication that any future reimbursement 256 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.600 will be paid, or that the program will ever resume. 257 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.519 They say it has already been forced to initiate layoffs 258 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:09.200 for fifty employees. Joke because of the Catholic organization. Should 259 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.559 we feel more sorry for the employees laid off under 260 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.799 this program than the federal government employees that have been 261 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.319 laid off during this Absolutely not. That was a quick 262 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:27.400 You didn't even hesitate. If the funding is still suspended 263 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.680 without court intervention, the USCCB faces irreparable damage to its 264 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:36.920 long standing refugee resettlement programs and its reputation and relationship 265 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:46.480 with its sub recipients and the refugee population it serves. Huh, 266 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.319 knock down a notch in terms of reputation among the refugees. 267 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.920 Wait a minute, they're not giving me handouts anymore. 268 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.400 Damn it. 269 00:17:54.559 --> 00:18:05.599 Er Catholic Church or that actionable law would argue that 270 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:09.160 the resettlement program isn't foreign aid and is instead a 271 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.000 domestic program to help newly arrived refugees meet initial needs. 272 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.599 USCCB spends more on refugee resettlement each year than it 273 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.400 receives in funding from the federal government, but it cannot 274 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.640 sustain its programs without the millions in federal funding that 275 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:30.640 provide the foundation of this private public partnership. Well, I 276 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.200 think one could easily observe that this is in fact, 277 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.359 the US Catholic bishops are actually fulfilling the mission of 278 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.519 the Catholic Church helping out these poor, deprived people that 279 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.920 don't have homes and food and shelter and medicine and 280 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.000 all that kind of stuff that is I would say, 281 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.920 arguably within the confines of the Catholic doctrine and most 282 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:55.240 Christian doctrines helping those in need. So by the federal 283 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:00.359 government funding this operation, are we not funding these spread 284 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:07.559 of the organization's mission teachings of Catholicism and Christianity generally. 285 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:13.839 And the American taxpayer money is then given to the 286 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.759 Catholic Church, who's worried about its reputation here, right, because 287 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.440 if the newly arrived immigrant population are being served by 288 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.039 the Catholic Church, they don't know where the Catholic Church 289 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.599 got the money, so they give credit to the Catholic Church. 290 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.599 Right And since Catholic Church can't continue this mission without 291 00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:36.079 federal taxpayer dollars, their reputation is being harmed, not Donald 292 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.039 Trump's the White Houses or the federal government's reputation for 293 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.720 cutting off the money the Catholic Church's reputation. So this 294 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:49.880 ultimately is a marketing thing for the Catholic Church, and 295 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.000 that seems to me to be potentially a violation of 296 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.039 the First Amendment. I'm just saying. By twenty seven, fifty 297 00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.400 five kres the detoxication. Got some local stories coming up, 298 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.480 or you can call, which I would love, so feel 299 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:01.960 free to do so. 300 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:08.440 It'll be right back fifty five KRSS. 301 00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:11.880 Some florries out there this morning, and the roads can 302 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.759 be very slick in places, so please please be careful 303 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.400 when you're driving in this morning. Today's h I twenty 304 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.240 two mostly clouds, overnight mostly cloudy as well, with a 305 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:24.119 little thirteen. Got a little sun coming in tomorrow. Flood 306 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.799 warning ends at one thirty pm. High of thirty degrees 307 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.000 overnight well at thirteen, and on Saturday we'll walk to 308 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.799 thirty seven degrees with mostly clear skies. Fifteen Right now 309 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:43.359 for the five kr CD talk stations about thirty FOP 310 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:48.000 President Ken Kober fast forward one hour from now about 311 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.680 the Cincinnati Emergency Communications Center Responders program and some concerns 312 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.359 at GP and the fire. The FOP and the firefighters 313 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.200 have on that one. Let us see here in the 314 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:03.160 absence of phone calls diving local stories. So we approve 315 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.519 recreational marijuana in Ohio, lawmakers now want to limit it 316 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:12.279 and criminalize certain aspects of it. Senate Bill fifty six 317 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:16.279 would ban public smoking driving while the driver or any 318 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.480 passenger in the vehicle is using marijuana, and reduce the 319 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:24.640 number of homegrown plants allowed by half, and increase the 320 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.759 tax from ten seten percent to fifteen percent. And I 321 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:33.119 read recently that the Michigan marijuana weed and it's been 322 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.799 legalized a lot longer than Ohio. A lot of people 323 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:38.960 go to Michigan. From what I hear, it's about half 324 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.319 the price you pay in Ohio. So by jacking the 325 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.200 tax up here in Ohio, I don't know that that 326 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.200 necessarily is going to improve the revenue situation. But who 327 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.119 am I. None of the proposed rules were part of 328 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.319 the constitutional amendment passed by fifty seven percent of the 329 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:58.079 voters here in the state of Ohio. Senator Steven Hoffman 330 00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.680 tip city behind the changes. In short, this bill is 331 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:05.440 about government efficiency, consumer and child safety, and maintaining access 332 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:12.599 to voter approved adult use marijuana. This same bill passed 333 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.160 the Senate last General Assembly, but it didn't pass in 334 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:20.240 the House. ACLU thinks the bill ignores the mandate from 335 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.880 the voters, saying Ohio voters overwhelmingly supported issue too, says 336 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.839 Gary Daniels, their chief lobbyist from the ACLU, and doing so, 337 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.599 they endorse policies regarding adult use cannabis. SB fifty six 338 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.960 now proposes to roll back these changes in hole or 339 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.200 in part, in an affront of those same voters, well, 340 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.000 voters who will be able to vote their people out 341 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.200 of office around next time around if they're upset about 342 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.960 this one anyway. The legislation apparently cuts in half the 343 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.279 number of plans that can be grown in a home. 344 00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.799 You can do twelve now, but they want to cut 345 00:22:52.799 --> 00:23:03.640 it back to six. Joe, why not five or eight 346 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:15.960 or seven? Or stay out of my house. You can 347 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.160 get a ton of weed off of one plant anyway. 348 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:26.519 Also lower the THC level from extracts from ninety percent 349 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.880 to seventy percent. And also, and I don't know how 350 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:35.519 you enforce this one ban sharing between adults. Does that 351 00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:46.079 mean you can't pass the Ducchi It also says you 352 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:53.559 can't smoke weed after ten PM Joe amendment also mandates 353 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.119 some of the tax billers be spent on social equity 354 00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:03.079 and jobs programs, but the bill eliminates that provision reduces 355 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.400 the money spent to spend it on mental health and 356 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:14.319 addiction services. Well, you know what we always say about 357 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:21.680 Republicans in Columbus, Joe. From the ACLU's part, Finally, the 358 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:23.960 ACU in Ohio urges this community to not rush this 359 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.920 bill through the Senate. There's lots of interest in this 360 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:28.200 issue across the Ohio, but many do not have an 361 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.759 opportunity to testify today or have to a chance to 362 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.799 fully review be one hundred and forty seven page bill 363 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:40.000 with numerous provisions introduced less than one month ago. Your 364 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.960 constituents deserve the chance to fully weigh on an important 365 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:51.000 issue they pass so resoundingly before it is demolished by politicians. 366 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:57.279 It just says thanks for the first time, Joe. He 367 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:03.920 agrees with the ACLU on that one. Housing affordability says 368 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.799 took but Randy Tucker props over to enquire took another hit. 369 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:10.519 Kicking off the new year. In the Cincinnati area, asking 370 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.039 rents went higher in January than any other major metro 371 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.599 era in the country. Median asking rent that would be 372 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.279 the typical list price for an apartment across all apartment 373 00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:23.480 times jump fifteen percent in January compared to the same 374 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:31.039 month a year ago. This reported by Redfinn, biggest year 375 00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:34.640 over increase in asking rents among the fifty most populous 376 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.839 US metro areas, pushing the typical monthly rent payment in 377 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.599 the city of Cincinnati to fourteen and twenty dollars up 378 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:47.039 from twelve to thirty five over the same period. Now 379 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.640 that appropriately time, Joe rents up despite more new rentals 380 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.920 coming online in the local market. Some experts predicting would 381 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:57.119 soften rent increases because there's simply more supply to keep 382 00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.880 up with demand. But many of the apartments coming on 383 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.960 the market in Cincinnati area and new developments high rent 384 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:08.160 neighborhoods downtown over the Rhine, for example, which carries higher 385 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.319 rants then while other locations and also provide amenities that 386 00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:18.000 people are looking for, pools, dogs, spas, fitness centers, connective communities. 387 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.920 Is going to solve all this, though, Joe, just just 388 00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.880 wait for it. I'm sure those apartments are going to 389 00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:26.759 build in Hyde Park if that goes through. Yeah, those 390 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.039 will be really affordable, so affordable five thirty six fifty 391 00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:35.319 five KRSED dog station. Stack is stupid? Coming up? Or 392 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:37.799 call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred 393 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.319 eight hundred eighty two to three talk hang on. 394 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.440 Be right back fifty five KRC. 395 00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:48.079 My name is Cark five forty one.

Jerry, 398 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.119 thanks for calling this morning. A very happy Friday eve 399 00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.359 to you. 400 00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.960 Yeah, happy Friday to YouTube. Right, quick question, there's numbers 401 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.599 you gave for the illegal immigrants that were caused that 402 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.480 were that we're paying. There's bank the last census in 403 00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.319 twenty twenty three, should three hundred and thirty five million 404 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.960 people in the United States? What would that work out 405 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.720 to per person? 406 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:20.200 I'd have to get my calculator out for that one. Man. 407 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:22.680 I'm just curious that I don't think. 408 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.960 The US citizens are actually looking at what that actual 409 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:28.039 cost is per person. Yeah, we have that could benefit 410 00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:28.960 even more people. 411 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.519 Well, when when when you when you actually ultimately do 412 00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:34.000 the calculations, you know, it sounds like it's going to 413 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.119 be a big, fat, you know, like ten fifteen thousand 414 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.920 dollars per human in the United States and in the 415 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.319 math usually doesn't work out that way, but you can 416 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.720 do the division. I mean, we're talking about a total 417 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.200 figure of four and fifty one billion, and we have 418 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:54.680 three hundred and fifty say million people. So I'll just 419 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.359 I have to go to my calculator and just do 420 00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.519 the division on that one. But it's an eat, I 421 00:27:59.519 --> 00:27:59.880 don't think. 422 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.400 I just I just don't think anybody who is looking 423 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.599 at it as the cost per person. 424 00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.480 Too for that. 425 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.000 And I did you hear there any more billions and 426 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.359 trillions thrown around like it's a like at the dime 427 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.960 and a nickel. I don't think if they actually brought 428 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:16.759 it down to the individual person, I think it would 429 00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.440 make more sense. 430 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:20.680 I couldn't agree more. But you know, that's why I 431 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:23.759 always try to express like a billion is a thousand 432 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:25.960 stacks of a million. You know, if you walk through 433 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.200 that process, you start realizing how much money you're talking 434 00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:32.319 about here, and it's it's it's I mean, it's it's 435 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:35.599 like it's like looking at one of those Hubble space 436 00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:40.079 telescope pictures of the universe and seeing all those tiny 437 00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.240 thousands and tens of thousands, if that millions of blips 438 00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:46.519 of light and wreck and noting that each one is 439 00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:50.759 a galaxy, not a star, but a galaxy, and it 440 00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.000 just it ends up frying your mind out. That's the 441 00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.880 kind of dollars we're talking about here, Jerry. 442 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.240 I just I'd love that what that number is. We 443 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.039 use people always complaining about, you know, how much are 444 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.839 going to cost? And how much does that cost? Well, 445 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.279 how much does that costing each individual person? Eggs are 446 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:10.640 expensive right now, but how many eggs? How many dozen 447 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.880 eggs could I buy with the money if the government 448 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:14.599 gave that to me instead of one of the league. 449 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:20.640 Lands twelve thousand, eighty five dollars. 450 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.000 Per person, And that's per year that we're spending. 451 00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.839 On that on that's actually the four hundred and fifty 452 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.799 one billion dollars cited in the information from the House 453 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.200 and Homeland Security Committee that since twenty twenty one, So 454 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:39.119 that is not an annualized cost, annual cost one hundred 455 00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.759 and eighty two billion dollars with sixty six or one 456 00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.880 hundred and eighty two billion with sixty six and a 457 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.359 half billion coming from the FEDS and one hundred and 458 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:51.240 fifteen points six billion coming from the various state tax payers. 459 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.480 So but you know what, I imagine every American since 460 00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:59.160 twenty twenty one, they would prefer getting a check for 461 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.200 twelve hundred and eighty fi five dollars of knowing it's going 462 00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:05.039 to illegal immigrants who really aren't legally supposed to be here. 463 00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:07.880 Right right there, you. 464 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:12.000 Go, all right, I appreciate it from Atlanta, and we'll 465 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.039 be listening the rest of there. 466 00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.359 Oh fantastic, man, that's cool, thanks for calling. You get 467 00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:19.079 the biggest kick out of that what Dave's got this 468 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:21.640 morning day, Welcome to the Morning Show, and Happy Friday 469 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:22.440 eve to you. 470 00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:24.599 Good morning. 471 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:28.200 I am usually sending messages under the name of Dave 472 00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:30.880 the tax Nerd, because they really have a tax nerd 473 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.359 with a master of the taxation and experiences contempt to organization. 474 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:36.960 Oh yeah, I hope I don't. 475 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:39.240 Bore the hell out everybody. But there is actually a 476 00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.720 volume published that lists, if they so, Catholic charities and 477 00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:50.160 it says, thick volume of the demo organization. The Catholic 478 00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:54.599 Church generally can afford very good experts on their subjects, 479 00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.480 so usually they don't get themselves in a whole lot 480 00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.839 of trouble. There's a pignant church. 481 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.319 Well, i'll tell you what in the interesting time, boil 482 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.519 the point down. Just boil it down. 483 00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:16.200 Okay. Generally exempt organizations cannot conduct illegal activities. They're okay, 484 00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:21.480 So if they are, that's an issue. Uh. The advocacy 485 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:24.680 of issues that's been greatly weakened by court case of 486 00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.519 the seventies called Big Bomber RAG has allowed a lot 487 00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:33.200 more propaganda than it's usually in the rags. But if 488 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.440 they are actually conducting illegal activities, we're back to having 489 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:43.640 issues with exempt organization similar to the whole Tea party mess. 490 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:49.519 You you'll see some charities that are connected to a 491 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.200 church that are not the church. So, uh, this is 492 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:56.039 deep in the weeks, but I think we're in for 493 00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.119 some more fun with the illegal activities with illegal. 494 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.920 Yeah yeah, yeah, yes, yes, I agree completely, And these 495 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.440 things will take time to work out. Maybe Justice Department 496 00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:10.599 needs to do an investigation of the FBI needs to 497 00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.000 follow the money trail. We need to investigate what the 498 00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:17.680 advocacy has been done on and whether they're facilitating actually 499 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:21.319 bringing in illegal immigrants which may violate laws. I agree 500 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.559 with all that, but you got you gotta wait and 501 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.000 net and it takes time, and it takes effort. At 502 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.119 least this administration is in trying to apply the time 503 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:33.039 and effort necessary to ferret it out. Thanks for calling 504 00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.119 tax Nerd Dave, Good to hear from you.

That wreck is a 521 00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.920 little bit closer to the lateral. Traffic's being diverted off 522 00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.839 of the highway at Paddock and you're backing into Lachland. 523 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:35.319 There's a wreck set bound seventy one on the Jeremiah 524 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:38.920 Morrow Bridge right side Chuck Ingramot finfty five kre see 525 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.160 the talk station. 526 00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:47.079 About fifty to fifty five KRCD talkstation. FOP President Ken 527 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:51.400 kober Returns got some complaints going on over the Cincinnia 528 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:55.119 Emergency Communications Center Responder program, and Ken's going to enlighten 529 00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.000 us on the details on that coming up in about 530 00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.200 a half hour MAB forty minutes. Spot in the next hour. 531 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:03.319 Let us see here. Maybe Pete calling in right now, 532 00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:07.200 but in the meantime, stack is stupid. Leading off with Nathaniel, 533 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:15.159 note the name Nathaniel morin California Advisor to the Federal 534 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:18.639 Ministry or Canadian rather Advisor's important that it's Canada because 535 00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:21.519 they have different laws there. Canadian Advisor to the Federal 536 00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:27.840 Ministry of Women apparently released a statement defending I'm going 537 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:34.119 to say his participation in women's marathons and other running 538 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:38.519 competitions as a transgender yet biological male. So it's a 539 00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:45.760 guy claiming to be a chick, referencing Donald Trump's recent 540 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.039 executive order of preventing trans athletes from competing in women's 541 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.519 in girls' sports. In the statement quote, I am aware 542 00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:54.920 that my participation in so many competitions will be talked 543 00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.599 about because of my medical history. The situation in the 544 00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.760 United States, and the elements of certain politicians do not 545 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:07.960 help either. He she whatever you jar your own conclusions, 546 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.400 went on to say, with all due respect to level 547 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:16.719 one level, I compete at amateur recreational levels. Specifically the 548 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.679 state of scientific research in the field for the amateur 549 00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:24.599 recreation level and the fact that I have undergone a 550 00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:29.599 medical transition, I consider that I have the legitimacy to 551 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:33.639 participate in the right category unless the law prohibits me 552 00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:35.960 from doing so. Let us remember that in Canada no 553 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.320 law prohibits it, and for other countries, I will comply 554 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:48.360 with local laws in force when it applies. Trans folks 555 00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:54.239 only want to fully integrate as their authentic self and 556 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.960 be happy in our society.

Had she competed in the 567 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.719 men's category, the transgender runner would have come in tenth 568 00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:52.079 place among all male participants. Huh huh, but it's all 569 00:36:52.119 --> 00:37:00.800 about him or Two men from Colorad arrested up.

Why are you doing that? Professionally 574 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:27.199 manufactured is in quotes Jose Francisco Herreramunez eighteen, Angel Gonzales 575 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:31.119 Gutierrez nineteen taken into custody, charged with one count each 576 00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:33.800 of attempting to induce contract introduce contraband into a penal 577 00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:37.559 institution one count each of attempting to distribute meth amfetamine. 578 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.960 News relaates from the Sheriff's office there so the two 579 00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.360 suspects were attempting to smuggle in eleven one hundred and 580 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:50.159 twelve thousand dollars worth of tobacco and almost ninety thousand 581 00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:57.960 dollars worth a methan fetamine using a cannon.

It 589 00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.880 wasn't successful, according to the sheriff, thanks to a very 590 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.039 observant deputy, he was able to stop it before they 591 00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:27.760 were able to get the drugs into the prison. That 592 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:33.000 much meth would have just been devastating in that population, said. 593 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.719 The cannon they recovered was not a homemade gadget. He said, 594 00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.599 this was something not this was not something that was homemade. 595 00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:42.920 It was bought. It was professionally manufactured, and it's very powerful. 596 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:48.679 Five point fifty five bitch five karosity talk station. Yeah, 597 00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:52.360 they could have used the drum.

But you know, modern drones these days, you 601 00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:04.280 can get quite a bit of meth over the just 602 00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.400 by why in it?

Donovan and the Americans for Prosperity fast 623 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:12.039 forward to seven thirty Protecting Prosperity and the Trump tax cuts. 624 00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:14.480 They got that event at the farm coming up where 625 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.079 the Americans for Prosperity is footing the bill for your 626 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:22.280 dinner and explaining the legislation and talking about here in Ohio. 627 00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:25.760 Michael Walsh got a book coming up at eight o five, 628 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.280 A Rage to Conquer Twelve Battles that change the course 629 00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.599 of Western History. And then, of course it being Thursday, 630 00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:34.440 every Thursday at eight thirty, we are blessed to hear 631 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.400 from I heard me the aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. And 632 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.320 let's turn to the phones five one, three, seven, four, nine, 633 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:41.599 fifty eight hundred and eighty two to three talk Pete, 634 00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:43.719 thanks for calling this morning, and a happy Thursday to you. 635 00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:45.639 Thanks Brian. 636 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.039 As all as ironic that the Biden administration was given 637 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:54.760 hundreds of millions to the Catholic Church while simultaneously having 638 00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:01.199 that FBI intil trade them forgotten knows what reasons. 639 00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:06.199 Yeah, yeah, I mean, I just want to know where 640 00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.039 all these anti church and state people are who always 641 00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:11.599 come out of the woodwork when a church ends up 642 00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:16.039 getting a grant or received a payment from a state 643 00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:19.079 or federal government. And obviously right now there are a 644 00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.760 bunch of you know, religious organizations getting heaploads of money 645 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.880 from the American taxpayer merely because they are assisting illegal 646 00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:30.239 immigrants while at the same time fulfilling their Christian mission. 647 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.599 I mean, you know, that's kind of the point I 648 00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:36.039 was making. It's good marketing for them. They don't go 649 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.280 around explaining that all the money that they're spending on 650 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.159 the illegal immigrants and these goods and services are providing 651 00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:43.920 to them comes from the American taxpayer as opposed to 652 00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:52.960 the Catholic Church contributions in the offering plate. Just contemplate it, 653 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:57.039 that's all. Just you know, I mean, I find many 654 00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:59.280 of the arguments that are made about separation of church 655 00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:02.960 and state to be posterous, and there isn't a direct 656 00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:07.760 support of the church. It isn't the establishment of a religion. 657 00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:11.760 We don't have a theocracy here. If they're doing something 658 00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:17.000 that the government wants done, just like non religious organizations, 659 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:18.920 and they I think they should have a place at 660 00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:20.880 the table to receive money as well. So I'm not 661 00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:23.280 really adopting this theory that I'm talking about. I'm just 662 00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.840 calling out those who regularly call out or the in 663 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.519 file lawsuits to stop that type of thing from happening. 664 00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:39.000 Silence is deafening. I thought this is rather comical, of course, 665 00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:43.039 the Democrats pulling their hair out over Elon Musk and 666 00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:46.000 his efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency to ferret 667 00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:48.480 out fraud, waste and abuse and stop programs from getting 668 00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:50.480 money and all that kind of thing, and they don't 669 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:53.559 have anything but screaming and yelling. And there are a 670 00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:57.760 lot of folks just making this point. James Carville the 671 00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.960 other day was talking about how miserable the Democrats look 672 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.599 and sound and making these arguments against these cuts, defending 673 00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:11.000 the indefensible u On Jesse Waters. The other day, Dan 674 00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:19.199 Turantine apparently Democratic advisor asked about democrats strategy to vocally 675 00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:23.039 criticize Elon Musk's efforts. The number one thing in politics 676 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.239 is you want to respect the people, he said, listen 677 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:29.119 to them and solve their problems. We're failing the common 678 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.800 sense test. Rather than saying, hey, you know, some of 679 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.400 what they're finding, anybody in the right mind would say 680 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:39.000 we should end it. Instead, we scream about everything, and 681 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.800 so when we find stuff that, in our opinion, probably 682 00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:45.000 is worthy of discussion, the average voter says, forget it, 683 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:49.000 and all you do is scream no, and they're crazy. 684 00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:50.400 True. 685 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:55.880 John Lovett, former Obama speechwriter, Here's what he said. Honestly, 686 00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:58.719 some of this is pretty annoying because it's some of 687 00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:05.199 the stuff we should have done. We didn't know how 688 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:08.840 you could do some of this, referring to the cuts 689 00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:13.800 that Musk and Doge are doing right now. I don't 690 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.760 know if being a former Obama speech trib he give 691 00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:18.119 him any credibility, but we didn't know you could do 692 00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:20.639 some of this. Is that really? I mean's he's serious 693 00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.960 when he says that we all knew the government is slow, 694 00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.760 We all know the government can be inefficient. He said, 695 00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:30.719 we all know that the bureaucracy can be bloated. We 696 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.719 all worked in the f wording White House. We tried 697 00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.760 to reorganize the government. We tried to find the efficiency. 698 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:44.519 It's hard to do, said John frou Favreau, another Obama 699 00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:49.280 speech writer, sharing love of its frustrations. How about that, No, 700 00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:52.119 it's not hard to do. Musk is proving it right now. 701 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.280 I love this Wall Street Journal article headline countering what 702 00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:01.880 these morons said. DOGE is searching for wasteful spending. It 703 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:07.639 isn't hard to find. Every year, they point out, agency 704 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:13.360 reports posted online document billions in improper payments, which include fraud, 705 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:17.880 but also under payments, duplicate payments, payments to ineligible recipients 706 00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:22.719 for ineligible goods or services, court to the Government Accountability Office. 707 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:27.800 They also include include correctly paid amounts that didn't follow regulations, 708 00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:31.480 such as contracts missing required signatures. So they're tracking this 709 00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.159 stuff and they have been for quite some time. They 710 00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:38.280 point the most recent fiscal year ending September of last year, 711 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:41.440 the agencies that reported their improper payments identified one hundred 712 00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:46.599 and forty nine billion, which amounts about three point seven 713 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.119 percent of payments from the four point one trillion. Laid 714 00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:56.440 out reports cover a large chunk of total government spending, 715 00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:59.719 which the CBO congratulate budget A Budget office puts its 716 00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:05.599 six point seventy five trillion dollars last fiscal year. Last year, 717 00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.000 they write more than ninety percent of improper payments were 718 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:13.079 over payments. Far back as two thousand and two, Congress 719 00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:17.119 required agencies to estimate and report improper payments every year. 720 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:21.519 The low strengthened in twenty ten, twenty thirteen, and twenty twenty. 721 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.719 The estimates come from statistical samples of payments that the 722 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:30.079 agencies check in detail, using methods approved by independent inspector 723 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:32.480 general for each agency, like Todd Zenzer used to be 724 00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:37.920 inspector in general. So what do they figure out? I mean, here, 725 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.239 here's the numbers are right here, Medicare three point one 726 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:46.639 seven billion, Medicate thirty one point one billion, Medicare advantage 727 00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:48.679 nineteen point one billion. I could go on and read 728 00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:51.760 all of them, and every single department has already identified 729 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:58.519 statistically that they pay out way too much money, countering 730 00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.880 what those other clowns said that oh, we wanted to 731 00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:07.039 do it, we just don't know how really engage in 732 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:11.960 accounting practices be a little bit more mindful for the 733 00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:15.119 money goes out the door, Maybe require the appropriate coding 734 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:20.519 on it, Maybe follow appropriate procedures so when it comes 735 00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:25.599 time to do an audit Pentagon, we'll know exactly what 736 00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:33.079 you spent the money on, which presently we don't. They 737 00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:36.360 just pay lip service. Over the years. It's a campaign 738 00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:38.599 talking point. Yes we're gonna fare it out Fraudway's and 739 00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:40.679 Abusess and no they're not. They're not gonna do damn 740 00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:48.519 thing about it. Finally, finally, we have an administration who 741 00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:51.760 actually is making good on what they promised to do, 742 00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:57.320 and it's blowing everyone's minds. Wait a second, he's doing 743 00:47:57.360 --> 00:47:59.239 what he's doing what he told he was gonna do, 744 00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:06.039 and he's I don't know, everybody listens to politicians on 745 00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:09.000 the campaign trail, goes yeah right, I hear you, Sure 746 00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:12.280 you are sure, you are right? Whatever? Yeah sure, And 747 00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:15.280 actually for I think but like the first time in 748 00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:18.960 anybody's life, we have a politician that is making good 749 00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:23.760 on the pledges made on the campaign trail and doing 750 00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:30.320 it in remarkable speed. I mean, who can argue that 751 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:35.079 Trump and his administration haven't accomplished more than Joe Biden 752 00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:41.239 did in four years, five hundred and some odd number 753 00:48:41.239 --> 00:48:47.400 of days of which he was on the beach or 754 00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:53.519 staring and grabbing it, non existent butterflies flying around his head, 755 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.320 God knows, five six, fifteen fifty five case the talk 756 00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:02.280 station three four nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred eighty 757 00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.280 two three talko with pound five fifty if you had 758 00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:05.559 an AT and T phone. 759 00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:07.920 Ah. 760 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.480 How about QC kinetics treatments? Listeners ask me about them 761 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:12.519 all the time, don't want to know if they should 762 00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:14.920 consider it for their joint pain. So if I wonder 763 00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:18.199 if you're a good candidate. See if you answer yes 764 00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:20.639 any of these questions.

Trouble sleeping, trouble walking, day to day movement? 767 00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:30.880 Do you want to avoid surgery and all of the pain, 768 00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:33.480 long recovery and uncertainty that comes with it. That's an 769 00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:36.519 easy one.

I'm doing pretty good except for my 813 00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:31.440 right eye because I had that clock home a laser 814 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:34.000 surgery yesterday and it's just bugging the hell out of me. 815 00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:35.199 Yeah. 816 00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:38.039 The wife had that done. Man, she had one done 817 00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:39.800 and then the other one they gave her a big 818 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:42.400 problem with. So she's not in line. 819 00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:42.800 For that yet. 820 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:44.519 Oh wow, I've got to have the other one done 821 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:46.159 next Thursday. So I'm not going to be on the 822 00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:48.679 radio because they scheduled at seven forty five, so I 823 00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:50.480 can't can't be here, and. 824 00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:53.320 They do the needle poking in the eye thing. 825 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:55.639 Now it's just a laser they blast. I mean she 826 00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:59.480 must have blasted like fifty fifty little bursts of this laser. 827 00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:02.440 So they just to help them. 828 00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:04.880 Not fun, not fun at all, I guess. 829 00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.400 No, it didn't. It went by quickly, it didn't hurt. 830 00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:09.920 He felt like just the tiniest, tiniest little prick. But 831 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.400 they said, you know, you may have some numbness or 832 00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:16.199 some pain and you know, something like along an aspirin level. 833 00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:18.639 And I did take my aspron this morning, but it's 834 00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.840 watery and I can't. I mean, I lose my focus 835 00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:25.239 pretty easily right now because of the just the weird 836 00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.760 reality of what's going on. Sorry to go down that road, 837 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.400 but I'm just struggling with you asked how I was doing. 838 00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:33.440 I'll give you the reason I called, because I know 839 00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:34.159 you're short on time. 840 00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:35.039 You got another caller. 841 00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:41.559 Today is turning day for the petitions for mayor, and 842 00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:44.159 four o'clock is when they have to have them in 843 00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:47.119 and then we're done. That's who that's who's going to run. 844 00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:50.079 From what I understand, it's only going to be three people. 845 00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:52.480 Even though eight people pull petitions, I don't think the 846 00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:54.679 other one's got them. But the thing I want to 847 00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:57.480 tell you about was that kind of ironic was that 848 00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:01.679 a person was out collecting them yesterday, uh signatures? Was 849 00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:02.960 Mayor Purval. 850 00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:06.440 Collecting signatures? 851 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:09.800 Yes, sir, he was out collecting signatures. So I don't 852 00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:11.559 know if he was running scared, or he's doing a 853 00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:16.719 photo op or or whatever. You know, some people pay 854 00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:20.320 to get their signatures done. You know they pay a 855 00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:24.199 group of people. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, that kind of deal. 856 00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:27.559 And I know one of them that is doing it. 857 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.920 But you know, like I said, he was out collected 858 00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:32.960 the things yesterday, So I think that's kind of ironic, 859 00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:41.400 rather interesting duck. So anyway, hopefully you know Corey's are 860 00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:44.679 good and he gets he gets on the ballot, and 861 00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:46.719 I know Joe will have him on here real soon. 862 00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:52.039 He was on your sister station yesterday and he told 863 00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.159 me that he got a giant boost. He went out 864 00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:56.000 to the Hyde Park Kroger's and he said he had 865 00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:57.920 a giant boost and people coming over and. 866 00:53:57.880 --> 00:53:59.159 Signing his petitions. 867 00:53:59.320 --> 00:53:59.760 Oh good. 868 00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:02.519 So he's one of them that's not paying people to 869 00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:03.360 get him done. 870 00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:06.400 Understand that. And he was on my program I think first. 871 00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.519 Yes he was, Yes he was. And it took your 872 00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:15.000 sister station a week. So I'm kind of anxious and 873 00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:18.199 glad that you guys got him on first. Right out 874 00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:21.000 of the last thing is you can still go down 875 00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:25.639 early this morning to his coffee shop and sign the petition. 876 00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:28.360 So I'm merging people if they live in the city. 877 00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:32.360 And even though this is not a democratic basically station, 878 00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:37.440 a Democrat can sign those petitions. So it's not party 879 00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:40.880 I guess affiliated or whatever, it's open. 880 00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:41.760 It's open. 881 00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:43.599 Anybody can sign those petitions. 882 00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.800 Well, that's great, and I wish him all the luck 883 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:50.079 in the world. I mean, at least in the final analysis, 884 00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:53.519 and he will benefit the process by interjecting some alternative 885 00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:56.599 thoughts into the conversation. That's what we need down there, 886 00:54:57.400 --> 00:54:59.960 all right, Sure, thanks Jim, appreciate the propping them up. 887 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.480 And hopefully he gets in the race. That'd be fantastic. 888 00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:05.920 Let's see what George has got. George, thanks for holding there. 889 00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.320 Welcome to the program. 890 00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:13.639 Good morning, bron. I was just thinking that's we're deporting 891 00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:18.599 all these you know, low skilled workers, and we're freeing 892 00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:21.920 up all these bureaucrats. Do you think we could possibly 893 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:24.800 train them to come up to those low skilled jobs 894 00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:28.320 kicking fruit vegetables? 895 00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:33.480 Come on, George, you know those are jobs Americans won't do. 896 00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:37.320 I'm from the answers. Of course they could take a 897 00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:42.159 position picking fruit. Of course they could. I'm sure they'll choose. 898 00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:42.519 Not to do that. 899 00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:45.719 But if you have a college education and that education 900 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:49.639 doesn't provide you with a you know, all fundamental bases 901 00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:53.400 to do something that society wants and needs, then you 902 00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:56.159 have to find employment in some other field. And of 903 00:55:56.199 --> 00:56:01.400 course that is one option. Just can't imagine them doing it, 904 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:04.960 but I like the idea. Six point forty five with 905 00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:08.320 you five kero Se Detalk Station. FOP President Ken Kober 906 00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:11.320 coming up next. First word for John Ryan, who is 907 00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:14.119 Prestige Interiors. It's his company and he's the one you're 908 00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:18.400 working with, and he's there for your kitchen remodeling project. 909 00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:23.360 Love what he did with our kitchen, and he'll he 910 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.800 can pull off whatever particular kind of project you want 911 00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:28.000 to do. Big projects and small projects I think as small. 912 00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:30.239 I think of replacing cabins and countertops and keeping the 913 00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:33.519 kitchen exactly as it is, or gut the whole thing 914 00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:35.920 and start from scratch like we did, which, oh my god, 915 00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:39.239 what a terrific decision that was for our part. It 916 00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:43.239 transformed the kitchen. It's got better flow, better function, better storage, 917 00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.800 literally better everything. And he also found more space, which 918 00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:50.440 seems like impossibility when you're talking about four walls, but 919 00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:52.880 there it is. There's the beautiful job. We get to 920 00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:54.679 enjoy it every single day and you'll be very happy. 921 00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:57.719 John's an easy guy to work with, real sweet.

Now, 938 00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:41.400 some people say, well, why would Donald Trump do this? 939 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:42.559 Why? 940 00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:44.519 Because it needs to be done. 941 00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:49.880 We have seen the weaponization of our Department of Justice. 942 00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:55.440 We have seen the politicizing and weaponizing of our FBI 943 00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:59.760 and our intelligence community. And the President directed the Justice 944 00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.480 Department to fire all US attorneys left over from the 945 00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:05.599 Biden administration, all of them. And he said, therefore, I 946 00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:09.760 have instructed the termination of all remaining Biden error US attorneys. 947 00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:13.679 We must clean house, immediately restore confidence. They were there 948 00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:16.079 the whole time. Did any of them ever stand up 949 00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:20.920 at the Department of Justice and say that, wait a minute, 950 00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:22.920 this is not equal justice under the law. 951 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:27.480 Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today. 952 00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:32.519 Right here, Donald J. 953 00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:35.920 Trump is officially the next president of the United States 954 00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.440 of America. While millions of Americans are rejoicing in the victory, 955 00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:42.840 thousands of others are still concerned about their savings. The 956 00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:46.440 unfortunate truth is we still have thirty five trillion dollars 957 00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:49.280 in debt. The interest on that debt is now larger 958 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.320 than our entire defense budget for the first time in history. 959 00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.760 Plus the wars that started under Biden are still raging 960 00:58:55.800 --> 00:58:58.599 across the globe.

But 994 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:43.039 talk about today what they and the firefighters are concerned about, 995 01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:47.719 which is the Cincinnati What is It? Community Responder Program? Ken, 996 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:49.480 Welcome back to the morning show. Good to hear from you. 997 01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:52.760 Thank good morning, Brian, Thanks for having me all right let's. 998 01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:56.119 Start with what is the community Responder program? Like, this 999 01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:58.559 is something set up by city hall or by the 1000 01:00:58.599 --> 01:00:59.519 by city council. 1001 01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:05.039 Yeah, so this program is actually developed by the communications 1002 01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:09.679 director emergency communications director, and the idea behind it is 1003 01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:13.480 to basically take civilians that are going to answer calls 1004 01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:16.480 for service instead of having things that traditionally. 1005 01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:18.760 The police do, like calls in the nine to one one. 1006 01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.239 Yeah, so when the call comes in from nine to 1007 01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:28.440 one to one, then the communications director has instructed the 1008 01:01:28.480 --> 01:01:32.360 dispatchers to instead of dispatching the police, they're going to 1009 01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:37.000 dispatch the civilians instead of the police for certain runs. 1010 01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:40.000 Well, that sounds like it might come with inherent dangers 1011 01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:43.159 for people who are not trained law enforcement professionals. 1012 01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:48.719 It's been proven already to be rather disastrous. Oh really, 1013 01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:50.079 especially for the citizens. 1014 01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:53.599 Yeah yeah, okay, and these are employees of the city 1015 01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:57.760 that are doing this, that's correct. Okay, So paid employees 1016 01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:00.440 from the city are responding to what other would have 1017 01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:04.920 been a traditional police nine response. He said, it's been 1018 01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:07.199 a disaster. Can you give my listeners and me an 1019 01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:10.400 illustration of maybe where something went sort of sideways on 1020 01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:11.320 the citizen. 1021 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:12.679 Sure. 1022 01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:14.320 So one of the things that they're doing is they're 1023 01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:19.320 having them respond to auto accidents and instead of their 1024 01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:21.280 theory was well, we're going to lighten the load on 1025 01:02:21.320 --> 01:02:24.360 the police. However, what they're doing is they're showing up 1026 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:26.920 going to a crash scene and telling them well, if 1027 01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:28.559 you want to report, just go to the police district. 1028 01:02:29.639 --> 01:02:33.079 But what we've seen so far is happening is two 1029 01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:37.320 particular egregious instances is where they showed up a woman 1030 01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:41.039 who was visibly pregnant, I think she was like eight 1031 01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:44.159 months pregnant, was injured in an auto accident, and instead 1032 01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:45.840 of calling for an ambulance, he said, we'll just go 1033 01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:47.880 to the police district and have a police report filed out. 1034 01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:50.320 That's what you want to do. So you have an 1035 01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:52.400 injured pregnant woman shows up at the police district and 1036 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:57.400 they're like what is this. Another one was a guy 1037 01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:00.920 shows up at the district. So yeah, these civilian people 1038 01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:03.000 told us to just come here and follow this police report. 1039 01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:05.239 He goes, but I'm kind of confused because the woman 1040 01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:07.599 that hit me was visibly drunk. 1041 01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:10.079 There you go, they let her drive away, Just getting 1042 01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:13.519 ready to ask that they had been trained in recognizing 1043 01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:17.119 impaired driving. Do they know what to look for. Can 1044 01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:21.280 they Can they administer the traditional test to determine whether 1045 01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:23.559 someone is impaired behind the wheel or are they just 1046 01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:28.079 going to overlook something like that that's concerning. 1047 01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:31.280 Well, sure it is. Yeah, I mean the liability that 1048 01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:34.320 the city's assuming by having one of their employees just 1049 01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:38.599 let somebody that either didn't recognize it or is still 1050 01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:40.960 equipped to recognize these kind of things, they let them 1051 01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:44.320 drive away, drive away. Yeah. 1052 01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:48.280 Oh my word, Well, I guess I got a little 1053 01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:50.000 burning question going on in the back of my head here. 1054 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:52.719 If you had a full contingent of police officers, in 1055 01:03:52.719 --> 01:03:54.880 other words, if you weren't behind in numbers by how 1056 01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:56.960 many of you down now like three hundred or so, 1057 01:03:57.960 --> 01:04:00.440 now we're down one hundred and forty, one hundred and forty. Well, 1058 01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:02.519 if you had those one hundred and forty officers now 1059 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:06.119 working and with the police, with the actively with the 1060 01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:11.280 police department, would this would these community responders even be necessary? 1061 01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:13.159 I mean, aren't they supposed to? And this sounds like 1062 01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:15.519 a band aid solution they came up with to avoid 1063 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:16.920 hiring more police officers. 1064 01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:20.840 That's exactly what we suspect is going on. 1065 01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:25.840 Well, and that's where your union contract comes in right. 1066 01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:29.440 Well, sure, you know the collective bargaining agreement that we 1067 01:04:29.519 --> 01:04:31.960 have says that the work that is traditionally of the police, 1068 01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:35.079 if they want someone else to do that work, then 1069 01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:37.559 it has to be negotiated. So I sent a cease 1070 01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:39.920 and desist order last August when they came up with 1071 01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:42.639 this plan and told them that if this is something 1072 01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.320 that you want to do, you must first negotiate it 1073 01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:48.719 with the FOP. They just turned a blind eye to 1074 01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:52.400 it once they started hiring people. Is when we decided 1075 01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:55.079 to take action and we FOIULD an unfair labor practice. 1076 01:04:55.400 --> 01:04:57.280 FLP president came cover. I'm going to keep you a 1077 01:04:57.280 --> 01:04:59.119 hold over the breaker. I got a few more questions 1078 01:04:59.119 --> 01:05:01.639 to dive on into the this one, let's pause and 1079 01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:04.719 we'll continue this conversation. After I mentioned odo exit, which 1080 01:05:04.719 --> 01:05:06.880 won't get rid of the stench of politics, tends to 1081 01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:08.960 come up a lot, but no it doesn't.

We're talking about this 1127 01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:25.760 greater since a community responder program where they send civilians 1128 01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:28.599 out on what otherwise we'd be normally a police run 1129 01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:33.079 after someone calls in the complaint. I really troubled by 1130 01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:36.360 that whole automobile accident thing because you anticipated exactly where 1131 01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:38.960 I was going, because it could be an OVI situation. 1132 01:07:39.719 --> 01:07:44.360 Are these are these citizen responders? Are they trained on 1133 01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:45.280 any level? Ken? 1134 01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:45.599 Do you know? 1135 01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:46.840 So? 1136 01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:50.559 They're given some kind of bare bones training. I think 1137 01:07:50.599 --> 01:07:55.079 the training was like six weeks total to cover a 1138 01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:58.840 myriad of things. But one thing that they're not equipped 1139 01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:03.400 to handle his defending themselves if they get into a 1140 01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:06.920 rather violent situation. Yeah. Across the country, we hear all 1141 01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:09.599 the time about officers that show up to a minor 1142 01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:13.079 auto accident they get ambushed. I was gonna say, yeah, 1143 01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:14.639 they no means to defend themselves. 1144 01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:19.760 You quite often situations can devolve from the mundane to 1145 01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:22.960 the violent. I mean, people can just kind of lose 1146 01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:27.840 their wits on a moment's notice. So so these citizen 1147 01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:32.640 responders are themselves maybe in peril. Uh, let me ask 1148 01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:35.079 you this. Do they wear body cameras? 1149 01:08:35.199 --> 01:08:35.359 Ken? 1150 01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:37.159 No, of course not. 1151 01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:39.199 Why would they need to do that. That's that's just 1152 01:08:39.279 --> 01:08:41.079 reserved for the police. 1153 01:08:42.159 --> 01:08:44.039 Do they have radios so they can call in for 1154 01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:48.560 backup with more citizens to show up if there's a problem. 1155 01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:50.720 Right exactly? And that's that's the other part of this. 1156 01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:53.359 If they get into a situation with that they're ill 1157 01:08:53.399 --> 01:08:56.199 equipped to handle and they come over screaming on the radio. 1158 01:08:56.319 --> 01:08:58.479 Now you have the police that are going to be 1159 01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:00.960 driving lights and sirens at high speech trying to get 1160 01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:04.119 there to protect somebody that has no way to protect themselves, 1161 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.239 and it's only putting the police in even more danger. 1162 01:09:07.319 --> 01:09:09.239 I guess I have to ask this sort of out loud. 1163 01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:12.920 Did the city ever contemplate any of these problems when 1164 01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:15.199 they shove this thing through? Do they consult with the 1165 01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:17.479 police department? And I know this supplies to the firefighters, 1166 01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:20.920 because the firefighters Union apparently is a little myfed about 1167 01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:21.520 this as well. 1168 01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:26.319 Well. I can only assume that they did not, or 1169 01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:29.680 they just didn't care what the response was. But you're right, 1170 01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:31.960 I mean, that's the same way the fire department's now 1171 01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:35.039 following suit with the FFP and they're filing unfair labor 1172 01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:36.079 practice themselves. 1173 01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:39.960 Do you have any idea how much these citizen responders 1174 01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:40.520 are paid? 1175 01:09:42.279 --> 01:09:44.680 I looked at. I think their average salary is somewhere 1176 01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:46.680 between sixty and ninety thousand a year. 1177 01:09:48.760 --> 01:09:56.439 Holy crap, I mean that's you're in police wage territory, 1178 01:09:56.479 --> 01:09:57.399 there are you not? 1179 01:09:58.680 --> 01:10:00.800 Yeah, they're getting close in this. This is this is 1180 01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:06.000 the biggest problem. Aside from the safety aspect. They're really 1181 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:09.039 not lightening the load for the police because they show 1182 01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:11.520 up to an auto accident, they don't investigate it, and 1183 01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:13.399 they look at the people that are involved and go, hey, 1184 01:10:13.640 --> 01:10:15.680 just show up at the district. But here's the problem. 1185 01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:18.239 So you have two people that are involved in an 1186 01:10:18.279 --> 01:10:20.680 auto accident, they say, hey, just show up. You go 1187 01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:23.199 to your local police district file report. They're only telling 1188 01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:26.159 one person that they need to go, which, of course, 1189 01:10:26.479 --> 01:10:28.199 then only one person shows up and you only got 1190 01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:29.520 one side of the story. You don't have the other 1191 01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:31.840 person's information. But let me just say for a second 1192 01:10:32.319 --> 01:10:34.680 that they actually tell both people to go to a 1193 01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:37.159 police district. And you have one person that lives on 1194 01:10:37.199 --> 01:10:39.239 the west side, they go to District three. You have 1195 01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:40.640 a person that lives on the east side and they 1196 01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:44.000 go to District two. How do you merge those police reports? 1197 01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:47.119 And the answer is you can't. Well so you have 1198 01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:50.920 two different police reports going on, and you know the same, 1199 01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:54.840 the facts are different. It's an absolute disservice to the 1200 01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:58.239 people that live, work, and play in Cincinnati that they 1201 01:10:58.279 --> 01:10:59.760 have to even deal with this kind of thing. 1202 01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:02.800 Well do they issue citations. 1203 01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:06.680 No, they don't even investigate the crash. They just show 1204 01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:07.359 up and say. 1205 01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:10.079 That's a pretty valuable piece of information for someone who's 1206 01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:13.840 gonna make an insurance claim that guy hit me, he 1207 01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:16.960 owes me and needs to pay me back for my 1208 01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.840 out of pocket responsibilities under my autobile insurance. Or if 1209 01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:24.119 you don't have any for the damage done by the accident, 1210 01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:27.239 Oh my god, my neck hurts, I've got medical bills. Now, 1211 01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:30.960 all these things become critical questions in an automobile accident, 1212 01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:34.000 even if it doesn't evolve into violence, and they're not 1213 01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:36.039 in a position to issue a citation or make a 1214 01:11:36.079 --> 01:11:40.439 determination as the responsibility. Oh great, then you're never going 1215 01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:47.199 to get one. Sure, this is the most ill conceited Well, 1216 01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:49.760 I can't say I've ever heard of, because we all 1217 01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:51.840 know things from government. We can go down and spend 1218 01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:56.000 hours and hours talking about stupidity, you know, and I 1219 01:11:56.199 --> 01:12:00.119 guess one of them is going to get hurt someday too, 1220 01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:05.680 and that's going to be a real problem. 1221 01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:06.960 There's no doubt. Yeah, that's so me looking at it 1222 01:12:07.039 --> 01:12:10.640 from the human side of this. You're notwithstanding the legal side. 1223 01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:13.079 They're going to get somebody hurt. They're going to get 1224 01:12:13.079 --> 01:12:15.079 somebody killed, whether it's a citizen, whether it's one of 1225 01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:19.520 these community responders. And that's just something that it's going 1226 01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:20.600 to happen. It's inevitable. 1227 01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:23.359 That's a shame. Now where is it in terms of 1228 01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:26.279 I know you sent a season desist order to stop 1229 01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:29.039 this program from going through. It went through anyway. I 1230 01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.720 guess they're actively using this program right now. 1231 01:12:32.640 --> 01:12:33.279 It's correct. 1232 01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:35.960 So what's the next step for the union for the 1233 01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:38.439 Police and Firefighters Union in this process? 1234 01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:42.880 So we filed the unfair labor practice with the State 1235 01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:47.199 Employment Relations Board. They've investigated it and they've ordered us 1236 01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:51.079 to go to mediation. So next month I'll be going 1237 01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:54.800 up to Columbus and we'll be trying to mediate the situation. 1238 01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:58.600 All right, Well, and if the mediation doesn't work, because 1239 01:12:58.640 --> 01:13:02.000 you're not bound by any mediation unless you both mutually 1240 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:04.960 agreed to resolve it under the terms of the mediation, 1241 01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:07.479 do you go to arbitration then, or do you end 1242 01:13:07.560 --> 01:13:08.600 up in front of a judge. 1243 01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:12.239 Well, to go back to the state Employment Relations Board 1244 01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:16.319 for them to investigate further and decide how they want 1245 01:13:16.560 --> 01:13:17.399 to get it resolved. 1246 01:13:17.680 --> 01:13:21.000 All right, Well, I hope they resolved to point out 1247 01:13:21.039 --> 01:13:22.520 to the city, since saying this sounds like a really 1248 01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:25.960 bad idea. Do you know where the funds came from 1249 01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:27.079 to hire these people? 1250 01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:31.800 This is just comes out of the city. 1251 01:13:32.039 --> 01:13:35.279 The general fund. All right. 1252 01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:37.399 They've got some really nice vehicles too. 1253 01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:39.800 I mean, yeah, we can't get we can't get. 1254 01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:44.880 New police cars, but they've got an electric Mustang. They've 1255 01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:48.600 got some nice Chevy Silverados. And that's certainly a little 1256 01:13:48.600 --> 01:13:50.279 bit of rub on the police as well as they 1257 01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:52.520 are driving cars that have two hundred and fifty thousand 1258 01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:54.720 miles on them and they're going but these people have 1259 01:13:55.319 --> 01:13:56.800 brand new cars. That's kind of neat. 1260 01:13:57.159 --> 01:13:58.720 Well, and do you know how many of them there 1261 01:13:58.720 --> 01:13:59.880 are before we part company it? 1262 01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:00.520 Ken? 1263 01:14:01.239 --> 01:14:06.319 I think there's like a half dozen so far so far, Yeah, 1264 01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:06.840 so far? 1265 01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:11.159 Wow. Well, this just sounds like stupid all across it. 1266 01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:13.439 And I hope for some reason this does violate the 1267 01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:15.680 terms of your collective bargaining agreement so we can put 1268 01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:19.119 it into this program and maybe save lives and also 1269 01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:24.560 help people resolve their insurance claims during automobile accidents. Uh Ken, 1270 01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:26.479 I feel for you, man, keep up the great work 1271 01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:29.039 you're doing on behalf of the police department, and God 1272 01:14:29.079 --> 01:14:31.800 bless all of the members of the Cincinnati Police Department 1273 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:33.520 for what you do each and every day. 1274 01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:36.520 Sure, well, thanks, Brian, appreciate you having me. 1275 01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:38.760 It's my pleasure, man. I get this information out for 1276 01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:41.840 my listeners can find out about it. And another information 1277 01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:44.920 I want to get out affordable imaging. Yeah, it's not 1278 01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:47.399 affordable at a hospital. Your imaging department at the hospital 1279 01:14:47.399 --> 01:14:49.399 will charge you maybe thirty five hundred dollars for an 1280 01:14:49.399 --> 01:14:52.079 echo cardiogram, and that's a lot of money. A lot 1281 01:14:52.119 --> 01:14:54.119 of people need echo cardiograms. You're always going to need 1282 01:14:54.119 --> 01:14:56.079 some image at some point and some time. I've had 1283 01:14:56.159 --> 01:15:00.840 multiples in my life, MRIICT scans, echo car how about 1284 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:04.119 an ultrasound or a lung screening or a cardiac scoring. 1285 01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:08.399 It's they're just all outrageously priced at a hospital. Because 1286 01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:10.920 you can do a comparison and you can go any 1287 01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:12.880 place you want. When it comes to your medical care, 1288 01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:15.920 and affordable imaging services for more than forty years has 1289 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:18.439 been using the same type of equipment hospitals used to 1290 01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:22.039 provide these images for a fraction, I mean a really 1291 01:15:23.319 --> 01:15:26.359 really small fraction of what a cost of a hospital. 1292 01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:29.560 Let's use the echo cardigram for example, Affordable imaging services 1293 01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:33.239 five hundred dollars without an enhancement. It's eight hundred with 1294 01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:36.960 an enhancement. So you want to pay thirty five hundred 1295 01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:40.600 dollars or five hundred dollars and affordable imaging services. Every 1296 01:15:40.640 --> 01:15:43.880 image they do comes with a board certified radiologist report, 1297 01:15:43.880 --> 01:15:46.279 which both you and your doctor will get within forty 1298 01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:49.239 eight hours. I've gone down there several times. I got 1299 01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:52.479 my next CT scan scheduled. Affordable imaging services in April. 1300 01:15:53.239 --> 01:15:57.159 Expect low overhead eno bells and whistles, But when you 1301 01:15:57.199 --> 01:15:59.760 got medical professionals and the same kind of hospital equipment, 1302 01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:02.720 you care whether there's marble flooring or not. Right, That's 1303 01:16:02.760 --> 01:16:05.239 my take on it, anyway, So save a heap loads 1304 01:16:05.239 --> 01:16:07.479 of money.

Before that, though 1334 01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:47.079 having a little bit of shot and for it this morning, 1335 01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:49.439 I think most of my listening audience knows that I 1336 01:17:49.439 --> 01:17:51.920 don't care if you own an electric vehicle, knock yourself out. 1337 01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:56.119 I don't like government subsidies for them. And without the 1338 01:17:56.119 --> 01:17:59.039 government subsidies, quite often, you know, things don't work because 1339 01:17:59.079 --> 01:18:02.960 it's it's a fake business reality, it's a fake business model. 1340 01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:05.439 It's like going back over to the US Catholic Bishops 1341 01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:07.479 complaining that the plug has been pulled on all the 1342 01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:09.640 money that they've been promised from the federal government for 1343 01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:13.720 their immigration services. That wouldn't exist. That program and their 1344 01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:16.560 actions and their activities related to housing and sheltering and 1345 01:18:16.600 --> 01:18:20.239 feeding illegal immigrants and providing them with legal services wouldn't happen. 1346 01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:27.920 Without your taxpayer dollars. Ev truck manufacturer Nicola has found 1347 01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:31.119 that out and just declared Chapter eleven bankruptcy. Another green 1348 01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:35.359 energy Wall Street Journal rights another green energy unicorn died 1349 01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:39.359 Wednesday as Nicoll Corp, the electric truck startup, filed for 1350 01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:44.840 Chapter eleven bankruptcy. They say it's spectacular market crash, another 1351 01:18:44.880 --> 01:18:50.680 warning about the perils of industrial policy and chasing government subsidies. 1352 01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:54.439 Have been at this eleven years. They wanted to be 1353 01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:57.800 the Tesla of trucks. They went public in June twenty 1354 01:18:57.840 --> 01:19:02.479 twenty through a blank check merger amid the euphoric pandemic, 1355 01:19:02.520 --> 01:19:06.119 stock market recovery and the democratic promises of a green 1356 01:19:06.199 --> 01:19:12.359 new deal. They fetched twenty seven billion dollars in market valuation, 1357 01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:16.800 which back then was greater than Ford's market valuation, even 1358 01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:23.840 though they hadn't sold a single vehicle. Supposedly sophisticated investors 1359 01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:26.600 were taken in by this marketing hype. General Motors announced 1360 01:19:26.600 --> 01:19:29.439 in September of twenty twenty that was taking eleven percent 1361 01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:34.159 stake in Nicola. CEO Mary Barraw held it as an 1362 01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:39.640 industrial industry leading disruptor, but as the Journal notes, it 1363 01:19:39.680 --> 01:19:42.479 was disruptive in a different way. January twenty eighteen, Nicola 1364 01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:45.239 posted a video on Twitter of its model truck. Get 1365 01:19:45.239 --> 01:19:50.439 a load of this. This is comical appearing Note the 1366 01:19:50.439 --> 01:19:55.239 emphasis to power efforts effortlessly down a flat road, with 1367 01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:58.600 a caption the Nicola Hydrogen electric trucks will take on 1368 01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:06.479 an any my truck and outperformed them in every category weight, acceleration, stopping, safety, 1369 01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:09.680 and features, all with a five hundred and one thousand 1370 01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:14.239 mile range. Close quote that would be revolutionary if it 1371 01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:16.720 was true. It wasn't. According to a twenty twenty one 1372 01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:22.319 federal fraud indictment of the founder, Trevor Milton. It was 1373 01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:25.720 an inoperable prototype that had been towed to the top 1374 01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:28.239 of the hill. The Egal employees released the brake so 1375 01:20:28.319 --> 01:20:31.359 it looked like it was cruising along all while the 1376 01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:34.720 door was taped shut to keep it from falling off, 1377 01:20:34.760 --> 01:20:37.279 and its batteries had been removed to prevent the truck 1378 01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:42.960 from catching on fire. After taking investors for a ride, 1379 01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:46.520 mister Milton was convicted in twenty twenty two. Nicola's marketing 1380 01:20:46.560 --> 01:20:50.279 deceptions and problems spooped investors. In twenty twenty three, Nicola 1381 01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:55.560 recalled two hundred and nine battery electric trucks because of fires. 1382 01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:58.279 As of the last October, it sold fewer than five 1383 01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.920 hundred trucks at a heavy law reportingly selling these hydrogen 1384 01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:06.000 trucks for three hundred and fifty one thousand dollars a piece, 1385 01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:12.239 which was about half of what it cost to make them, 1386 01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:15.079 though its sales price was still twice as much as 1387 01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:21.680 an internal combustion engine SEMI. This was obviously financially unsustainable, 1388 01:21:21.800 --> 01:21:24.560 especially amid higher interest rates. California regulators in the Biden 1389 01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:27.039 administration tried to boost the electric truck market with their 1390 01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:30.640 mandates and subsidies. Inflation Reduction Act, for example, includes a 1391 01:21:30.720 --> 01:21:34.880 forty thousand dollars tax credit for buyers of electric trucks. 1392 01:21:35.640 --> 01:21:38.920 EPA rule last spring required that electric truck models make 1393 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:41.239 up twenty five percent of long haul tractor sales by 1394 01:21:41.279 --> 01:21:44.840 twenty thirty two, but the government still couldn't induce truckers 1395 01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:49.159 to buy them. Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, 1396 01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:53.239 we have faced various market and macroeconomic factors that have 1397 01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:57.199 impacted our ability to operate. That from Nicola CEO Stephen 1398 01:21:57.439 --> 01:22:02.560 Gersky this week yesterday. Fact in other words, high costs 1399 01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:08.000 and technological limitations make evs impractical for long distance trucking operations. 1400 01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:12.319 Another electric truck maker, Lordstown Motors, filed for bankruptcy in 1401 01:22:12.359 --> 01:22:17.119 twenty twenty three. Fisker Inc. Failed last June. British electric 1402 01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:21.079 bus startup Arrival sold its assets to another EV startup, 1403 01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:26.079 Canoe Ink, which filed for bankruptcy last month. The Biden 1404 01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:30.000 Energy Department provided a six billion dollar rescue for Ribbon 1405 01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.640 Automotive after it lost one hundred and seven forty three 1406 01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:37.000 dollars on every vehicle it's sold during the first nine 1407 01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:43.880 months of last year. The journal concludes props for their humor. 1408 01:22:44.439 --> 01:22:48.039 Critics say industrial policy is picking winners and looters losers, 1409 01:22:48.840 --> 01:22:53.560 but where are the winners? Six fifty six took away 1410 01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:56.279 State Representative Jennifer Gross After the top of the air 1411 01:22:56.279 --> 01:22:59.279 news in Donald and Neal on protecting prosperity and the 1412 01:22:59.319 --> 01:22:59.920 Trump tax. 1413 01:23:01.479 --> 01:23:05.039 News that happens fast, stay up to date.

So 1423 01:23:48.960 --> 01:23:50.680 we'll get the details from Donovan at the bottom of 1424 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:53.199 the hour. Without further ado, welcome back to the fifty 1425 01:23:53.199 --> 01:23:56.199 five KRC Morning Show House State Representative Jennifer Gross. Jennifer, 1426 01:23:56.199 --> 01:23:58.039 it's always a pleasure talking with you. Thanks for being 1427 01:23:58.039 --> 01:23:59.039 on the program this morning. 1428 01:24:00.119 --> 01:24:01.840 Thank you, Ryan. Good morning. 1429 01:24:02.279 --> 01:24:06.640 So the elected officials in Columbus, I always refer to 1430 01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:09.439 them as like hurting cats. It seems to me that Republicans, 1431 01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:13.239 you think Republicans would play nicer and cooperate more together, 1432 01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:16.079 but sadly, we don't see a whole lot of that. 1433 01:24:16.159 --> 01:24:18.119 It always just seems to be a mystery to me. 1434 01:24:18.279 --> 01:24:20.239 But moving away from that, and I don't want to 1435 01:24:20.239 --> 01:24:22.439 put opinions or conclusions into your head or mouth, but 1436 01:24:24.319 --> 01:24:28.800 there are lawmakers are considering repealing the Medicaid expansion, a 1437 01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:33.920 medicaid expansion which I suppose occurred back in twenty fourteen, 1438 01:24:34.960 --> 01:24:37.560 and they're saying they need to do that. We don't 1439 01:24:37.560 --> 01:24:39.399 have the money here in the state of Ohio unless 1440 01:24:39.479 --> 01:24:41.760 the federal money that comes in in support of the 1441 01:24:41.800 --> 01:24:46.520 medicaid program covers ninety percent of those that were at 1442 01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:48.520 that enter the system under the expansion. Do I have 1443 01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:49.279 that accurate? 1444 01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:54.239 Well, that we want to get rid of it, maybe 1445 01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:57.399 not accurate. The fact that the federal government pays ninety 1446 01:24:57.439 --> 01:25:00.039 cents of every dollar for it. Absolutely, that's why it 1447 01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:05.680 was so attractive when Kasik pressured the people who by 1448 01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:08.239 and large did not want medicaid expansions. 1449 01:25:08.279 --> 01:25:11.479 So, yes, you got that correct, And isn't is it 1450 01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:13.960 medicaid or Medicare. That is one of the biggest line 1451 01:25:14.000 --> 01:25:15.000 items in the state. 1452 01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:20.840 Budget, Medicaid. So remember that Medicare is a federal program 1453 01:25:21.319 --> 01:25:24.439 that were required to go on. And then Medicaid is 1454 01:25:24.439 --> 01:25:27.000 an entitlement program, and that's what we call them because 1455 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:32.079 you are entitled to receive these benefits under traditional medicaid, 1456 01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:33.560 you are entitled. 1457 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:34.159 So if you're. 1458 01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:39.920 Blind, disabled, elderly, pregnant mom who is low income, pregnant 1459 01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:44.199 mom and a low income child, that was traditional medicaid. 1460 01:25:44.560 --> 01:25:47.680 And in fact, I'm the chair of the Medicaid Committee, 1461 01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:53.680 So we're trying to protect our traditional medicaid group because 1462 01:25:53.680 --> 01:25:57.039 I think as a society, that's the part that we 1463 01:25:57.520 --> 01:26:00.359 pretty much as Ohioans, we believe those people will need 1464 01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:03.880 to be protected, and so we're looking at that group 1465 01:26:04.119 --> 01:26:07.199 to be sure that we try to maintain it's you know, 1466 01:26:07.239 --> 01:26:11.840 we need to have like Civic Conda Civic Medicaid and 1467 01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:15.479 not Cadillact Medicaid because what I see and what I'm 1468 01:26:15.520 --> 01:26:18.520 noting is in some cases and those people on Medicaid 1469 01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:22.279 may not always agree, but you and your private insurance 1470 01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:27.720 probably are dealing with things that you that you do 1471 01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:30.319 and wouldn't have to face on Medicaid. For instance, a 1472 01:26:30.439 --> 01:26:35.800 child on Medicaid gets mental care and vision, so we 1473 01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:39.600 don't offer that on a traditional medical plan through your 1474 01:26:39.640 --> 01:26:43.880 traditional insurance, so and mental health through our medicaid. A 1475 01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:47.039 lot of mental health providers try to get Medicaid because 1476 01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:52.079 we reimburse higher than traditional medicine, and sometimes traditional medicine 1477 01:26:52.119 --> 01:26:56.039 makes you pay cash for your psychiatric health or mental 1478 01:26:56.119 --> 01:26:58.920 health care. So there's there are some good things about 1479 01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:03.359 our medicaid system. The challenge, like any program, is you know, 1480 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:05.720 our number one expense on our SNAP, which is our 1481 01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:10.119 food stamp program, is soda pop. So the challenge is 1482 01:27:10.520 --> 01:27:15.000 what's required, right, like what is compassionate, what is loving? 1483 01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:19.439 What is and is what's compassionate to the taxpayer. Also, 1484 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:23.239 we have to not throw out compassion to the medicaid 1485 01:27:23.239 --> 01:27:29.039 population and then be uncompassionate or dispassionate to the person 1486 01:27:29.079 --> 01:27:31.439 paying the bill, which is the middle class. I mean, 1487 01:27:31.640 --> 01:27:35.000 you're earning eighty eight thousand family of four, which which 1488 01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:38.640 is not high on the hog. You don't qualify for Medicaid, 1489 01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:41.720 but you're paying all these benefits. So yeah, finding a 1490 01:27:41.760 --> 01:27:43.000 balance is important. 1491 01:27:43.199 --> 01:27:43.439 Now. 1492 01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:47.479 Prior to the expansion, I mean this group, the expanded group, 1493 01:27:47.560 --> 01:27:50.680 in what way was it expanded? Were the income levels 1494 01:27:51.319 --> 01:27:53.520 done away with? Or how do we end up with 1495 01:27:54.039 --> 01:27:57.119 this many people getting on the program? I think what 1496 01:27:57.239 --> 01:27:59.880 it jumped a sizeable percentage after the expansion went in. 1497 01:28:01.239 --> 01:28:05.760 Well, it's a challenge because you either do it all 1498 01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:09.359 or none. You can't do partial expansions. So the agreement 1499 01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:13.520 was you expand and so the states said, well, gosh, 1500 01:28:13.560 --> 01:28:16.760 we only have to pay ten cents, and the federal 1501 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:19.479 government's going to pay ninety cents, which you and I 1502 01:28:19.520 --> 01:28:23.079 can have a long discussion about autonomy and sovereignty and 1503 01:28:23.119 --> 01:28:26.119 why would we take you know, those golden handcuffs from 1504 01:28:26.159 --> 01:28:30.239 the federal government. Right, but it was even under a 1505 01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:35.439 Republican governor CASEIIC and in many cases the states that 1506 01:28:35.680 --> 01:28:38.600 yeah and the people that are expanding are under government 1507 01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:44.439 right now Republican governors. So but anyway, so they said 1508 01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:47.159 they kind of lured us in with that. Then the 1509 01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:51.720 population qualification is if you're earning one hundred and thirty 1510 01:28:51.760 --> 01:28:57.119 three percent or less of poverty level, and you know, 1511 01:28:57.520 --> 01:29:00.239 and so people got on the challenges. There are some 1512 01:29:00.399 --> 01:29:01.840 and there aren't tall. There are a lot of people 1513 01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:05.000 that are working that are making under the minimum, but 1514 01:29:05.880 --> 01:29:08.000 there are a lot of really good jobs out there 1515 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:11.159 right now, and some people not all. I don't want 1516 01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:13.319 to have a lot of hate mail to my box, 1517 01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:16.479 but there are some people who purposely don't work above 1518 01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:20.039 a limit because they don't want to lose their Medicaid benefits. 1519 01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:23.680 And so we're looking at that. And right now you 1520 01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:27.000 may have seen yesterday that the federal government is talking 1521 01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:30.760 about cutting eight hundred and eighty billion dollars of Medicaid 1522 01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:34.960 benefits from the sed They're not going to tell the 1523 01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:37.760 states they have to, but what that means is you, Brian, 1524 01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:41.319 get to pay the difference. So if the federal government 1525 01:29:41.399 --> 01:29:46.319 stops spending ninety cents of the dollar, then ohilends will 1526 01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:50.439 pick up another ten twenty thirty forty cents, which is 1527 01:29:50.760 --> 01:29:53.279 a lot of money. That we call the people that 1528 01:29:53.319 --> 01:29:57.399 were the expansion group eight. These are people that are 1529 01:29:57.399 --> 01:30:02.680 not making enough money right now to qualify for healthcare. 1530 01:30:04.399 --> 01:30:08.720 I mean to to not they're not making they're making 1531 01:30:08.800 --> 01:30:12.079 as little money as possible to be able to qualify, 1532 01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:16.800 and or they're working really hard and they can't make 1533 01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:18.960 enough money to qualify for insurance. 1534 01:30:19.279 --> 01:30:21.560 Okay, and I understand that component, but you know, if 1535 01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:23.920 you add up all the government benefits that are available 1536 01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:26.119 to someone, I think you have to make at least 1537 01:30:26.119 --> 01:30:29.079 like forty thousand dollars a year to cover what the 1538 01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:31.680 government will give you for free. So there's a real 1539 01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:34.279 disincentive to work there. But we used to have, at 1540 01:30:34.359 --> 01:30:37.199 least I thought we had in place work requirements that 1541 01:30:37.720 --> 01:30:40.159 you know, you had to show some initiative in some 1542 01:30:40.239 --> 01:30:44.239 effort to gain employment or go to continuing educlation classes 1543 01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:47.000 or education classes so you could obtain employment. Is there 1544 01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:49.800 anything remotely close to that now and are they considering 1545 01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:50.960 something along those lines? 1546 01:30:51.960 --> 01:30:55.720 Great question Brian. We had one that we had submitted 1547 01:30:55.800 --> 01:31:02.279 right before Biden was chosen to be president, and what 1548 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:05.600 happened was the Biden administration stopped at So we have 1549 01:31:05.720 --> 01:31:09.159 not had work requirements for the last four years. The 1550 01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:14.600 legislature as well as the Medicaid the Ohio Department of 1551 01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:19.560 Medicaid through buyer requirement of the legislature will filed for 1552 01:31:19.640 --> 01:31:22.640 a waiver. So that's the other thing that's really I 1553 01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:26.039 think that I really want your listeners and you to hear, 1554 01:31:26.199 --> 01:31:28.920 is that most of the changes we make to our 1555 01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:31.560 medicaid system, a lot of them, we have to go 1556 01:31:31.680 --> 01:31:34.279 back to the federal government because we've taken this money 1557 01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:37.760 and asked their permission to do it. So those golden 1558 01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:41.399 handcuffs came with you have to provide this, this and this, 1559 01:31:41.800 --> 01:31:43.880 you must do this, this and this, and if we 1560 01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:45.760 want to change anything, we have to go back to 1561 01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:48.560 the federal government and say, pretty please, pretty please, can 1562 01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:52.279 we change our program? And so that's what I've been asking, 1563 01:31:52.399 --> 01:31:55.880 you know, my congressman and Warren Davidson, as well as 1564 01:31:55.920 --> 01:31:59.800 our Senator Bernie Marino, and I haven't had the conversation 1565 01:31:59.840 --> 01:32:04.159 with the newest Senator Houston, but that we need more 1566 01:32:04.199 --> 01:32:06.960 flexibility at the state level to be able to manage 1567 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:12.399 our program locally. So we filed for work requirements in December. 1568 01:32:12.439 --> 01:32:15.439 We said we are, we had the intent to file, 1569 01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:18.560 and then when medicate. Oh and here's the beautiful thing. 1570 01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:24.000 Think about this. So the legislature says we want a waiver, 1571 01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:29.119 I the legislature have to go through the department chair 1572 01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:32.359 and in that case it's the Ohio Department of Medicaid 1573 01:32:32.439 --> 01:32:37.560 director have her right the waiver and she negotiates with 1574 01:32:37.600 --> 01:32:43.239 the federal government. So I have an unelected bureaucrat negotiating 1575 01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:46.399 with the federal government for what the legislature is saying 1576 01:32:46.439 --> 01:32:49.199 needs to be done. Now, there's typically a fairly good 1577 01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:54.000 back and forth and relationship there. But why we have 1578 01:32:54.079 --> 01:32:56.359 to go through bureaucrats to get what we want right, 1579 01:32:56.640 --> 01:32:59.600 And that's in everything. So if we change, for instance, 1580 01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:06.319 we take soda out of the SNAP program, we have 1581 01:33:06.399 --> 01:33:08.359 to go back to the federal government. We have to 1582 01:33:08.399 --> 01:33:11.600 ask them we would like to remove this from our 1583 01:33:11.640 --> 01:33:14.920 food program. You know, and I think people need to 1584 01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:18.439 understand it's not just Jennifer Gross, chair of the first 1585 01:33:18.520 --> 01:33:22.800 Ohio House Medicaid Committee in our history, she can do 1586 01:33:22.840 --> 01:33:25.279 all this. No, I mean we can come up with 1587 01:33:25.439 --> 01:33:29.960 ideas for that. But let me get back to you 1588 01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:34.079 had asked me about some of these people the group 1589 01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:38.119 aide are healthy, able bodied people that can work. These 1590 01:33:38.119 --> 01:33:41.720 are not people that have disability. They're not blind, they're 1591 01:33:41.760 --> 01:33:47.039 not elderly, they're not developmentally delayed teenagers. These are all 1592 01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:50.880 people that are able bodied. So we have now submitted 1593 01:33:50.880 --> 01:33:56.600 a work requirement for that group that is UH and 1594 01:33:57.239 --> 01:33:59.880 it's changing right now. It's in a more state. But 1595 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:03.279 you have to work a minimum of twenty hours a week, 1596 01:34:04.479 --> 01:34:07.520 or go to school twenty hours a week, or be 1597 01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:10.600 taking care of an elderly parent twenty hours a week, 1598 01:34:10.640 --> 01:34:14.039 and that has to be confirmed. And then I believe 1599 01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:17.199 we also have a drug rehab component in there as well. 1600 01:34:17.560 --> 01:34:19.720 A lot of our group bates do have, you know, 1601 01:34:20.039 --> 01:34:24.399 addiction issues. So those people we won't be able to, 1602 01:34:25.039 --> 01:34:27.520 you know, really work with as much. 1603 01:34:27.439 --> 01:34:29.319 But you can get them into a program that might 1604 01:34:29.399 --> 01:34:32.039 ultimately help them by helping them kick the addiction. It's 1605 01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:35.159 a vehicle to get them clean. Jennifer, I want to 1606 01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:36.960 hold you over. I got more questions and I'm sure 1607 01:34:37.000 --> 01:34:40.199 my listener are Curiosity is quite piqued about this, So 1608 01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.039 let's keep Jennifer Gross on the line and let me 1609 01:34:43.039 --> 01:34:46.880 mention Zimmer HVAC for three generations.

Reaching out through the securities process. You 1657 01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:03.560 got to go through to ask the federal government for 1658 01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:06.760 a waiver for a work requirement that seems just preposterous, 1659 01:37:07.119 --> 01:37:09.239 but you explained it. It's there. You got to live 1660 01:37:09.239 --> 01:37:12.239 with it. But at least you have an administration that's 1661 01:37:12.439 --> 01:37:15.600 probably going to grant you the waiver that we're looking for, Jennifer, 1662 01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:17.760 is that your expectation from the Trump administration. 1663 01:37:18.920 --> 01:37:22.560 Absolutely, And in my third term in a term limited 1664 01:37:22.800 --> 01:37:26.880 Ohio Legislature, let me tell you something, having lived under 1665 01:37:26.880 --> 01:37:30.359 the Biden administration, I'm still getting used to this winning. 1666 01:37:30.920 --> 01:37:34.000 They're like, what, like, they're probably not, I mean, Biden 1667 01:37:34.079 --> 01:37:34.840 rejected it. 1668 01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:35.399 This time. 1669 01:37:35.479 --> 01:37:38.159 We expect they'll accept it. So our job is to 1670 01:37:38.199 --> 01:37:40.600 make it strong, as strong as possible. We can always 1671 01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:42.560 amend it if we go, oh, we should have done that, 1672 01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:45.000 or we see Florida did this and we need to 1673 01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:47.199 do that. But Brian, do you mind if I talk 1674 01:37:47.239 --> 01:37:50.000 to you. I want the people to understand that are 1675 01:37:50.039 --> 01:37:54.239 listening the cost of this program to them, the taxpayer. 1676 01:37:54.520 --> 01:37:56.479 It's one thing to have people come to me. You 1677 01:37:56.560 --> 01:37:59.920 can't take these people. And let's talk about how much 1678 01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:03.199 of our budget goes to this program. Do you mind? No, 1679 01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:08.239 so in state spending alone, when we don't add the 1680 01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:12.640 thirty percent hear me, Well, approximately thirty percent of the 1681 01:38:12.760 --> 01:38:17.199 Ohio budget comes from the federal government. So when people 1682 01:38:17.319 --> 01:38:21.520 tell me our whole entire budget, okay, When people tell me, oh, well, 1683 01:38:21.600 --> 01:38:23.600 you know, we need to go to the federal government, 1684 01:38:23.640 --> 01:38:26.960 I'm like, okay, you. In order for Ohio to be sovereign, 1685 01:38:27.239 --> 01:38:31.880 your legislature needs to stop having our handout saying we'll 1686 01:38:31.920 --> 01:38:35.239 take the money from the federal government. Well, jin you know, California, 1687 01:38:35.279 --> 01:38:37.600 I'll get it if we I don't care. I think 1688 01:38:37.640 --> 01:38:42.319 we're Ohio and we should extract ourselves from dependence on 1689 01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:47.199 the federal government. Having said that, when without our federal 1690 01:38:47.239 --> 01:38:50.439 government spend, meaning without the part that the federal government 1691 01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:55.159 puts into our budget. Medicaid is twenty approximately, don't quote 1692 01:38:55.199 --> 01:38:58.560 me on all this twenty about twenty seven percent of 1693 01:38:58.600 --> 01:39:01.279 our entire budget. When it's it's just our house, when 1694 01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:05.840 it's just our state. Education is the number one cost 1695 01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:09.720 in our state. Our constitution says we will educate children. 1696 01:39:09.800 --> 01:39:13.560 Were a rare state that actually has that in our constitution, 1697 01:39:13.640 --> 01:39:17.520 but it is the number one spend in the billions. Okay, 1698 01:39:17.880 --> 01:39:22.239 So then if you add the federal part into medicaid, 1699 01:39:22.680 --> 01:39:26.720 the expense of Medicaid in our whole entire operating budget 1700 01:39:26.800 --> 01:39:31.079 is fifty point three percent. I have to ask yes, 1701 01:39:31.119 --> 01:39:32.960 So I have to ask the listener. You know you're 1702 01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:36.079 paying those taxes too, They're just coming from the federal government. 1703 01:39:36.199 --> 01:39:40.399 Remember the government makes how much nothing? We make nothing. 1704 01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:43.760 Our job is to spend your money wisely, which is 1705 01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:47.720 why I don't mean to sound harsh, but we cannot 1706 01:39:47.720 --> 01:39:51.159 give Cadillac care on Medicaid. That is not I and 1707 01:39:51.239 --> 01:39:53.920 honestly unless you have concierge care and all of that. 1708 01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:58.000 I don't think anybody in Ohio gets concierge care unless 1709 01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:01.520 you're paying up and above and straw for those things. 1710 01:40:01.560 --> 01:40:04.720 So I think it's important for the people to understand 1711 01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:08.119 that the group eight, the healthy body people, when we extended, 1712 01:40:08.439 --> 01:40:13.880 they're twenty five percent of our spend and this is 1713 01:40:14.159 --> 01:40:20.079 forty seven billion dollars a year. So yeah, So I mean, 1714 01:40:20.199 --> 01:40:23.039 let's talk about the money. It's easy to say, well, Jen, 1715 01:40:23.199 --> 01:40:25.039 you can't make these people go back to work. Well, 1716 01:40:25.039 --> 01:40:29.319 the business owners are crying for people. I have factories 1717 01:40:29.600 --> 01:40:33.199 that will pay processing lines people. They'll start at twenty 1718 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:35.840 two to twenty three dollars an hour. If you earn 1719 01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:38.399 that kind of money, twenty two dollars an hour, twenty 1720 01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:41.000 dollars an hour, and you work forty hours a week, Brian, 1721 01:40:41.039 --> 01:40:43.680 and you're married to someone who makes twenty twenty five, 1722 01:40:43.760 --> 01:40:44.920 you don't qualify. 1723 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:47.520 For Medicaid, but you can get an Obamacare. You can 1724 01:40:47.560 --> 01:40:50.960 get an Obamacare policy and get a tax deduction for 1725 01:40:51.039 --> 01:40:54.560 it too, if you're in lower income levels for that. Well, 1726 01:40:54.600 --> 01:40:57.399 real quick here, I know it's thinking. I got to 1727 01:40:57.439 --> 01:40:59.920 ask you about fraud, waste, and abuse. My understanding is 1728 01:41:00.199 --> 01:41:02.000 one of the worst states when it comes to spending 1729 01:41:02.039 --> 01:41:05.720 and a misspending, I'll call it that generally in the program, 1730 01:41:05.760 --> 01:41:08.119 Are you doing anything with your committee to get to 1731 01:41:08.159 --> 01:41:10.079 the bottom of that and drill down, maybe we can 1732 01:41:10.119 --> 01:41:12.319 find some savings on the money going out the door. 1733 01:41:13.239 --> 01:41:17.960 We absolutely are our auditor Auditor Favor did an audit 1734 01:41:18.039 --> 01:41:20.880 on Medicaid last year and he found when he pulled 1735 01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:24.680 a sample of people on Medicaid that twenty six percent 1736 01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:27.600 of the sample that we were paying Medicaid costs for 1737 01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:28.720 don't live in Ohio. 1738 01:41:28.880 --> 01:41:29.680 Oh my god. 1739 01:41:30.720 --> 01:41:34.640 So when you find that kind of stuff, because we're 1740 01:41:34.640 --> 01:41:38.439 a state that has something called self addest station. So 1741 01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:41.159 I know you're an attorney, but what this means is 1742 01:41:41.199 --> 01:41:44.159 that if you if I go in and you say 1743 01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:46.279 are you on Medicaid? I can say, yep, Brian, I am. 1744 01:41:46.319 --> 01:41:48.279 And yet I live in Westchester, and you know I 1745 01:41:48.279 --> 01:41:49.960 won't say where I live. I live in a middle 1746 01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:53.039 class home. And if I say I have Medicaid, they 1747 01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:55.439 have to accept that. They don't confirm it. They don't 1748 01:41:55.479 --> 01:41:57.840 confirm my address, they don't come from my income level, 1749 01:41:57.960 --> 01:42:00.640 none of it. So now we are but we have 1750 01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:03.199 to ask for waivers in some of these things. But 1751 01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:06.359 we're going to do regular cross checks because and that's 1752 01:42:06.399 --> 01:42:10.520 an answer to the auditor's audit. I mean, what more 1753 01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:13.399 do I need to say to you? That our auditor 1754 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:16.159 found this and what I've found, and it's taken me 1755 01:42:16.199 --> 01:42:18.680 And this is why, you know, term limits are not 1756 01:42:18.840 --> 01:42:21.960 what everybody thinks they are. It takes us a while 1757 01:42:22.000 --> 01:42:24.039 to figure all of this out, and then in eight 1758 01:42:24.079 --> 01:42:27.560 years we're gone, but the bureaucrats stay, and so we 1759 01:42:27.640 --> 01:42:31.399 get into this huge spend because the bureaucrats keep spending 1760 01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:35.079 and I'm not there to be the doge over you know, 1761 01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:38.399 this system. But what we found is that we found 1762 01:42:38.399 --> 01:42:41.800 self attestation. We have self attestation in many areas of 1763 01:42:41.880 --> 01:42:44.479 the hospitals. If someone walks in and they're you know, 1764 01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:46.680 they have a big gash on their arm and they 1765 01:42:46.680 --> 01:42:49.760 say they're medicaid and they bill it to medicaid, we 1766 01:42:49.840 --> 01:42:53.479 have to pay simply because the person said they had medicaid. 1767 01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:57.520 That self attestation. We have no cross check or we 1768 01:42:57.560 --> 01:43:01.560 don't check lottery winning, we don't check, we don't check birthday, 1769 01:43:01.600 --> 01:43:02.239 we don't you know. 1770 01:43:02.439 --> 01:43:06.359 That's insane, that's absolutely insane, and that welcomes all kinds 1771 01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:12.000 of fraud and that figure is mind boggling, mind boggling. 1772 01:43:12.159 --> 01:43:14.800 All right, well, we have your commitment to get to 1773 01:43:14.840 --> 01:43:17.359 the bottom of that and hopefully get some I can't 1774 01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:19.239 believe you got apply for a waiver to get rid 1775 01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:21.359 of fraud, waste and abuse in a program. I mean, 1776 01:43:21.720 --> 01:43:27.600 that's that's crazy right there, Jennifer Gross. Please keep us informed. 1777 01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:30.079 You're always welcome here. You got updates. You need pressure 1778 01:43:30.119 --> 01:43:32.079 to be brought to bear. I have my listeners get 1779 01:43:32.079 --> 01:43:34.920 in touch with their elected officials and screaming, yell about it. Whatever, 1780 01:43:35.359 --> 01:43:37.279 there's something we can do. Love to help you out 1781 01:43:37.319 --> 01:43:37.920 with that one? 1782 01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:42.000 Can I say, can I ask for help? So as doje. 1783 01:43:42.159 --> 01:43:45.079 It takes people from our community and says, hey, let's help. 1784 01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:47.760 Right they went to the federal government. I would encourage 1785 01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:51.960 the listeners to go to www dot l SC, dot 1786 01:43:52.000 --> 01:43:56.560 Ohio dot gov and look for HB ninety six. That's 1787 01:43:56.600 --> 01:43:59.560 the number of the budget and look up what we 1788 01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:02.520 call the read books in whatever area they're interested in. 1789 01:44:02.600 --> 01:44:05.159 It doesn't always have to be medicaid though, because it's 1790 01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:07.520 so expensive. I would encourage them to go to education 1791 01:44:08.000 --> 01:44:11.279 and medicate our biggest spends. But look in there, look 1792 01:44:11.319 --> 01:44:14.800 at the details, try to figure it out. Send your recommendations, 1793 01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:18.159 say we don't need that in our budget. Tell your representative, 1794 01:44:18.239 --> 01:44:21.840 not always me unless I'm your representative. Tell your representative. 1795 01:44:21.880 --> 01:44:24.199 I saw this, I want this removed. I saw this, 1796 01:44:24.479 --> 01:44:26.640 I want this removed. A lot of people want more 1797 01:44:26.640 --> 01:44:29.439 and more and more, but you're paying. So if you 1798 01:44:29.520 --> 01:44:32.399 think that's valuable, then say so. But if you think 1799 01:44:32.439 --> 01:44:34.960 it's waste, you need to go in. And if you 1800 01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:38.039 want more information. Right, my colleagues will hate this, but 1801 01:44:38.359 --> 01:44:40.760 if you want to try to get more information, write 1802 01:44:40.800 --> 01:44:43.520 your representative and say I think I see a problem here. 1803 01:44:43.520 --> 01:44:47.279 Can you help me?

Donovan, Welcome back to the fifty five 1860 01:47:29.840 --> 01:47:30.680 KRC Morning Show. 1861 01:47:31.680 --> 01:47:32.800 Brian, always good to be with. 1862 01:47:32.880 --> 01:47:37.359 You need to get these Trump tax cuts in place permanently, 1863 01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:40.239 and I always have to observe why they put an 1864 01:47:40.359 --> 01:47:43.159 end to them when they enact them just blows my mind. 1865 01:47:43.279 --> 01:47:46.920 I just anyway, here we are with them expiring, and 1866 01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:49.439 everybody's going to get hit. It's not just tax cuts 1867 01:47:49.439 --> 01:47:51.600 for the rich, as the left keeps saying. This is 1868 01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:53.399 really going to hit the middle class very hard. 1869 01:47:55.039 --> 01:47:55.319 Yeah. 1870 01:47:55.520 --> 01:47:58.600 You know, Americans under the four years of Joe Biden 1871 01:47:58.600 --> 01:48:02.159 and Kamala Harris with Biden saw their cost of living 1872 01:48:02.239 --> 01:48:06.279 increased dramatically, Folks paying twelve to fifteen thousand dollars more 1873 01:48:07.479 --> 01:48:09.359 than under the prior administration. 1874 01:48:09.760 --> 01:48:11.000 And you know, so. 1875 01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:14.079 Inflation's hitting folks hard. But if Congress fills to act, 1876 01:48:14.760 --> 01:48:16.800 their tax bills are going to go up. On average, 1877 01:48:16.800 --> 01:48:21.079 every America will pay fifteen hundred dollars more. Should the 1878 01:48:21.119 --> 01:48:23.840 Trump tax cuts to twenty seventeen be allowed to expire 1879 01:48:23.840 --> 01:48:25.840 at the end of this year, and so there you know, 1880 01:48:26.039 --> 01:48:29.079 it's a one two punch Brian, from the inflationary you know, 1881 01:48:29.199 --> 01:48:32.399 so called Hitten tax of out of control government spending, 1882 01:48:32.880 --> 01:48:35.920 and then a very real visible tax when you file 1883 01:48:35.960 --> 01:48:38.920 your tax bill between now in April fifteenth, should these 1884 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:42.439 expire on your tax bill, So it'll get you from 1885 01:48:42.439 --> 01:48:42.960 both sides. 1886 01:48:42.960 --> 01:48:44.600 If Congress doesn't act soon. 1887 01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:48.319 Well by doing it through reconciliation, which seems to be 1888 01:48:48.319 --> 01:48:50.640 the direction they're going to go, they don't need a 1889 01:48:50.680 --> 01:48:53.119 sixty vote majority in the Senate. They can do it 1890 01:48:53.159 --> 01:48:56.800 with a simple majority. I've seen different proposals going out there. 1891 01:48:56.800 --> 01:49:03.039 There's one, you know, comprehensive all under one resolution proposal, 1892 01:49:03.079 --> 01:49:06.319 and then there's the two steps solution. I think Donald 1893 01:49:06.319 --> 01:49:08.680 Trump's in favor of the former. Do you Is that 1894 01:49:08.680 --> 01:49:10.760 your understanding as well? 1895 01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:11.159 Yeah. 1896 01:49:11.159 --> 01:49:12.640 I think that's something that broke in the last twenty 1897 01:49:12.720 --> 01:49:14.880 four to forty eight hours is you know, the President 1898 01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:17.680 has said, let's go for the big, beautiful bill, and 1899 01:49:17.720 --> 01:49:19.760 that's the you know, that's the beauty of the executive 1900 01:49:19.800 --> 01:49:21.840 They can set that agenda and Donald Trump is more 1901 01:49:21.880 --> 01:49:24.399 than happy, as you know we all know, to set 1902 01:49:24.439 --> 01:49:27.199 his vision, set an agenda, and drive towards it and 1903 01:49:27.239 --> 01:49:28.560 I think that, you know, it makes a lot of 1904 01:49:28.560 --> 01:49:30.960 sense Congress. You've got a lot more numbers in Congress. 1905 01:49:31.039 --> 01:49:33.439 It's a lot more work that Speaker Johnson's got to 1906 01:49:33.439 --> 01:49:34.840 do to keep that conference together. 1907 01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:35.359 He'll do it. 1908 01:49:35.399 --> 01:49:38.039 But if we can get all this done together, it's 1909 01:49:38.039 --> 01:49:42.680 what the American people want, and tax cuts are among 1910 01:49:42.800 --> 01:49:46.960 the most important, at least and most importantly retaining the 1911 01:49:47.000 --> 01:49:49.439 tax cuts that we have had since twenty seventeen. 1912 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:51.319 All right, let's pause. It went a little along with 1913 01:49:51.520 --> 01:49:53.800 the cong or with the representative of the prior segment. 1914 01:49:53.840 --> 01:49:55.760 I'll bring you back. We'll talk a few more details 1915 01:49:55.800 --> 01:49:59.520 on that and also get a little more information on 1916 01:49:59.560 --> 01:50:02.479 the upcome event where I know you're buying dinner for 1917 01:50:02.560 --> 01:50:04.760 folks to talk about this. So pause, will bring Donovan 1918 01:50:04.760 --> 01:50:07.560 and Neil for Americans for Prosperity back, and I will 1919 01:50:07.560 --> 01:50:10.840 mention Cover since I do show every Sunday eight o'clock 1920 01:50:10.880 --> 01:50:13.279 with John Roman from Cover Sensing, and we talk about 1921 01:50:13.800 --> 01:50:15.840 medical insurance and you think, oh, yeah, I'm going to 1922 01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:19.800 tune into that. Actually it is really enlightening. I've learned 1923 01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:21.960 so much and John Roman has taught me so much 1924 01:50:22.000 --> 01:50:24.520 about how there is a better way for everyone to 1925 01:50:24.520 --> 01:50:27.319 get medical insurance, and that's by having a broker working 1926 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:30.560 for you, not an insurance company. I bet your employer 1927 01:50:30.600 --> 01:50:33.520 probably just went with the first major insurance company that 1928 01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:36.319 came by, and you got like three choices. All of 1929 01:50:36.319 --> 01:50:38.520 them suck and all of them are really expensive. It 1930 01:50:38.600 --> 01:50:40.520 doesn't have to work that way with cover. Since he 1931 01:50:40.640 --> 01:50:44.840 working for you and having access to hundreds of insurance 1932 01:50:44.840 --> 01:50:48.479 companies and quite literally thousands of different policies, you may 1933 01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:50.720 end up with a package of layered coverage. And that's 1934 01:50:50.800 --> 01:50:53.439 great for you because by layering coverage, you can get 1935 01:50:53.479 --> 01:50:56.159 dollar one coverage for a lot of services. Then you've 1936 01:50:56.159 --> 01:51:00.199 got your catastrophic kind of coverage, and it's less money, 1937 01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:03.720 a lot less money. He's saving people forty to sixty 1938 01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:06.319 percent on premiums, and for small groups, he can improve 1939 01:51:06.359 --> 01:51:10.680 your business's bottom line while making your employers or employees 1940 01:51:10.800 --> 01:51:13.680 much happier with better medical coverage that isn't setting them 1941 01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:17.079 back so much money. That's called employee retention, and in fact, 1942 01:51:17.359 --> 01:51:19.159 you can use that as a dangling carrot to get 1943 01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:20.800 the best people to where to work for you, because 1944 01:51:20.800 --> 01:51:22.800 you can explain to them how great the coverage is 1945 01:51:23.239 --> 01:51:25.680 and how little will pay. It is certainly worth a 1946 01:51:25.680 --> 01:51:27.800 phone call. It doesn't obligate you to do anything. Let 1947 01:51:27.880 --> 01:51:30.399 them check and see what you are or who you are, 1948 01:51:30.479 --> 01:51:32.319 what you've got going on in your world, like you 1949 01:51:32.399 --> 01:51:34.359 got a family with kids, or maybe you're a little 1950 01:51:34.439 --> 01:51:37.319 older and the kids moved out.

That's called a spending problem. 1985 01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:27.520 But it also ignores the reality that by lowering taxes, 1986 01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:31.720 more tax revenue ends up flowing into government because we 1987 01:53:31.800 --> 01:53:34.640 engage in more economic activity with the money we get 1988 01:53:34.680 --> 01:53:35.119 to keep. 1989 01:53:36.760 --> 01:53:39.680 That's absolutely right. That's that's what happened when we did. 1990 01:53:39.960 --> 01:53:43.079 Every time we've cut taxes, the government has found a 1991 01:53:43.119 --> 01:53:46.319 way has ended up with more money. Why because a 1992 01:53:46.319 --> 01:53:50.119 couple of different things. One, compliance costs go down, right, 1993 01:53:50.119 --> 01:53:54.119 and so folks are it's easier for them to actually 1994 01:53:54.119 --> 01:53:56.720 pay what they owe the government, and the government gets 1995 01:53:56.960 --> 01:54:00.680 you know, what it deserves. I suppose I still think 1996 01:54:00.680 --> 01:54:02.760 it's too much, but they get it, and you know, 1997 01:54:02.800 --> 01:54:06.439 so the compliance costs of filing taxes go down. You 1998 01:54:06.560 --> 01:54:08.880 also see folks spending that money in other parts of 1999 01:54:08.880 --> 01:54:11.960 the economy. Right, So we're not talking about eliminating all 2000 01:54:11.960 --> 01:54:14.600 taxes here. We're not even talking about eliminating the federal 2001 01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:16.960 income tax, although I'm a fan of that. We're just 2002 01:54:17.000 --> 01:54:19.560 talking about making a little less burden some for folks 2003 01:54:19.800 --> 01:54:21.560 so they can choose where to spend their money. 2004 01:54:21.800 --> 01:54:23.640 Whereather than bureaucrats. 2005 01:54:23.119 --> 01:54:26.039 Like the folks at USAID are at rest in peace 2006 01:54:26.119 --> 01:54:29.039 now being able to spend that money on wacky projects 2007 01:54:29.079 --> 01:54:32.199 around the world. It's real simple, it's real straightforward. It 2008 01:54:32.279 --> 01:54:36.520 has a tangible impact on the livelihoods of working class 2009 01:54:36.760 --> 01:54:40.960 Americans and Ohioans when government lowers those taxes and keeps 2010 01:54:40.960 --> 01:54:43.279 those rates as low as possible. 2011 01:54:43.359 --> 01:54:45.840 All right, Well, going back to I think what we 2012 01:54:45.880 --> 01:54:48.000 can describe as our own worst enemies, a lot of 2013 01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:50.720 the Republicans aren't in favor of cutting the amount of 2014 01:54:50.760 --> 01:54:53.239 spending coming out of federal government. That's why I'm a 2015 01:54:53.399 --> 01:54:56.479 worried about this reconciliation package because you know, not in 2016 01:54:56.520 --> 01:54:58.800 my state. If you cut that, then my state's going 2017 01:54:58.880 --> 01:55:01.880 to suffer. And it's like, well, it's time for some 2018 01:55:01.880 --> 01:55:02.920 belt tightening, you. 2019 01:55:02.880 --> 01:55:07.199 Know, No, absolutely, absolutely right, absolutely right, And I think 2020 01:55:07.239 --> 01:55:09.720 part of that belt tightening is not feeding the beast 2021 01:55:09.760 --> 01:55:13.720 anymore money, right, and getting keeping the tax rates low 2022 01:55:14.359 --> 01:55:18.039 so that you know, we can we can then begin 2023 01:55:18.079 --> 01:55:21.520 to have the conversation, although that's already happening with things 2024 01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:24.199 like the DOGE and what Donald Trump is doing to 2025 01:55:24.239 --> 01:55:27.680 get the executive branch back in back in line. But 2026 01:55:27.920 --> 01:55:29.960 you can't you shouldn't be given that beast more money. 2027 01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:32.319 DC doesn't need more of our hard earned money. And 2028 01:55:32.359 --> 01:55:35.039 then we also need to be having the conversation about 2029 01:55:35.520 --> 01:55:40.960 what Congress appropriates. Uh, it's two sides of the same coin, Brian, Uh, 2030 01:55:41.039 --> 01:55:41.960 equally important. 2031 01:55:42.359 --> 01:55:44.399 But we shouldn't we shouldn't let. 2032 01:55:44.479 --> 01:55:48.560 The desire to get the deficit down keep us from 2033 01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:51.159 allowing folks to retain more of their hard earned money 2034 01:55:51.319 --> 01:55:53.760 by simply keeping the Trump tax cuts permanent. 2035 01:55:53.960 --> 01:55:57.199 Right, And if they actually you know, if the tax 2036 01:55:57.239 --> 01:55:59.800 cuts went up and that actually really effectively brought more 2037 01:55:59.800 --> 01:56:02.479 money into government because the rates tire, which we just 2038 01:56:02.520 --> 01:56:05.600 talked about, that it doesn't, then they need to stop 2039 01:56:05.640 --> 01:56:08.239 spending and cut back the percentage amount of money they 2040 01:56:08.279 --> 01:56:10.840 spend so that we can start dealing with the deficit 2041 01:56:10.960 --> 01:56:13.880 rather than keep continuing to fund all these programs, which 2042 01:56:13.920 --> 01:56:16.319 is what happens every time. You know, it's the only 2043 01:56:16.319 --> 01:56:18.199 thing they tinker with is our tax rates, but they 2044 01:56:18.199 --> 01:56:20.760 never tinker with their spending. Do you have any hope 2045 01:56:20.800 --> 01:56:23.880 that this reconciliation bill can actually get through? Donovan? 2046 01:56:25.399 --> 01:56:28.520 I think it has to get through or Republicans are 2047 01:56:28.520 --> 01:56:32.560 going to lose control in Washington, the Democrats will be 2048 01:56:32.600 --> 01:56:36.159 back in power, and I think we're going to you know, 2049 01:56:36.239 --> 01:56:38.039 not only that, right, it's not only just about the 2050 01:56:38.079 --> 01:56:40.960 political dynamics in Washington, but it's the future of our country. 2051 01:56:40.960 --> 01:56:44.680 The reconciliation package is about retaining the tax cuts, it's 2052 01:56:44.720 --> 01:56:50.039 about undoing the disastrous Green Energy New Deal policy out 2053 01:56:50.079 --> 01:56:53.399 of the Biden Harris administration. And it's about getting this 2054 01:56:53.479 --> 01:56:59.560 country funding border security for our border patrol agents so 2055 01:56:59.600 --> 01:57:02.640 we can have a secure country. It's a lot more 2056 01:57:02.640 --> 01:57:04.520 than just a recofiliation package. 2057 01:57:04.640 --> 01:57:05.560 This is what. 2058 01:57:05.640 --> 01:57:09.079 Folks campaigned on and made promises about to earn votes 2059 01:57:09.479 --> 01:57:10.279 back in November. 2060 01:57:10.319 --> 01:57:11.520 They need to get this done. 2061 01:57:12.000 --> 01:57:14.239 And if we don't get it done sometime by the summer, 2062 01:57:14.279 --> 01:57:16.000 it's going to be real hard to see it happen 2063 01:57:16.520 --> 01:57:17.319 this Congress. 2064 01:57:17.600 --> 01:57:21.039 Jeez, that is a frightening prospect. But the timing couldn't 2065 01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.439 be better. With revelations coming from the Department of Governmental 2066 01:57:24.479 --> 01:57:28.680 Efficiency about you know, ten million dollars for voluntary circumcisions 2067 01:57:28.680 --> 01:57:31.279 and Mozambique. You know, you get enough stories like that 2068 01:57:31.359 --> 01:57:34.760 circulating and they actually get traction on the internet and 2069 01:57:34.800 --> 01:57:37.920 people start paying attention like wait a second, I'm working 2070 01:57:38.000 --> 01:57:41.279 for what and demand it. Well, they take less money 2071 01:57:41.319 --> 01:57:44.119 out of our pockets, so these programs necessarily have to 2072 01:57:44.199 --> 01:57:46.319 go away, which should have been funded in the first place. 2073 01:57:46.720 --> 01:57:49.520 Now you got a big event coming up February twenty six, 2074 01:57:49.600 --> 01:57:52.479 next Thursday, at the farm.

I think you have krcity talk station. 2157 02:01:47.399 --> 02:01:49.560 We're going to hear from Michael Wallace with a book 2158 02:01:49.600 --> 02:01:52.520 A Rage to Conquer, Twelve Battles to change the course 2159 02:01:52.560 --> 02:01:54.279 of Western History, right at the top of their news. 2160 02:01:54.279 --> 02:01:57.000 In the meantime, Jay, I was hoping you were listening. 2161 02:01:57.000 --> 02:02:00.000 Did you hear kan or the Representative Gross talking about 2162 02:02:00.159 --> 02:02:01.239 medicaid here in Ohio? 2163 02:02:01.960 --> 02:02:04.560 I listened to every word, man, and I want you 2164 02:02:04.600 --> 02:02:07.800 and Joe to take a bow after you're done today. 2165 02:02:08.479 --> 02:02:11.520 That was awesome. But what you guys can be proud 2166 02:02:11.560 --> 02:02:16.920 about is that when she talked about Faber audited medicaid 2167 02:02:17.319 --> 02:02:20.319 and found twenty six percent of the medicaid was outside Ohio. 2168 02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:23.680 I'm thinking, is this the same Keith Favor that Brian 2169 02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:26.399 Thomas had on like about a year ago, who came 2170 02:02:26.439 --> 02:02:29.279 in and said, there's not really anything to see. It's 2171 02:02:29.319 --> 02:02:32.760 not really fraud, it's just improper payments and it's just 2172 02:02:32.880 --> 02:02:35.439 difficult in computer systems and blah blah blah. 2173 02:02:35.760 --> 02:02:36.680 Remember you remember that, Oh? 2174 02:02:36.720 --> 02:02:38.039 I remember like it was yesterday. 2175 02:02:38.960 --> 02:02:40.640 I would love for you to play that again. 2176 02:02:40.720 --> 02:02:43.199 I know you probably can't, but for the listening audience 2177 02:02:43.239 --> 02:02:47.159 before we you know, shower a Keith Faber, the auditor 2178 02:02:47.279 --> 02:02:52.119 was applause. I think you and your listening audience and 2179 02:02:52.159 --> 02:02:55.199 guys like us. I think it's a testament that he 2180 02:02:55.239 --> 02:02:58.079 wouldn't have got out his ass if it wasn't some 2181 02:02:58.159 --> 02:03:01.199 pressure put on him to go figure this out. And 2182 02:03:01.399 --> 02:03:03.279 it's amazing that that happened and. 2183 02:03:03.760 --> 02:03:06.119 He never he never came back around. I didn't hear 2184 02:03:06.159 --> 02:03:06.640 about it. 2185 02:03:06.560 --> 02:03:09.079 In the news, so I'm glad they found it. But 2186 02:03:09.199 --> 02:03:12.920 just like always in Ohio, twenty six percent of forty 2187 02:03:13.039 --> 02:03:16.359 billion dollars a year is leaving Ohio and they're sitting 2188 02:03:16.359 --> 02:03:18.239 there staring at it right now trying to figure out 2189 02:03:18.319 --> 02:03:20.000 if they want to do ten billion a year. 2190 02:03:21.520 --> 02:03:21.560 No. 2191 02:03:21.800 --> 02:03:24.399 No, what she said that we need a waiver from 2192 02:03:24.439 --> 02:03:27.279 the federal government to make any corrections or fixes to 2193 02:03:27.399 --> 02:03:30.359 the Medicaid system here in Ohio. And now apparently it 2194 02:03:30.479 --> 02:03:32.880 sounded like that was among them. So we in the 2195 02:03:32.920 --> 02:03:35.760 prior administration they just raise their collective middle fingers and 2196 02:03:35.840 --> 02:03:38.159 laugh at us for the waiver. At least now we 2197 02:03:38.199 --> 02:03:40.479 stand a chance of actually getting something accomplished with the 2198 02:03:40.479 --> 02:03:42.800 Trump administration. We can only pray for that. 2199 02:03:43.880 --> 02:03:44.399 I agree. 2200 02:03:44.479 --> 02:03:47.680 Now here's the other thing. Everybody's property taxes are going 2201 02:03:47.720 --> 02:03:53.039 to do risk. Seventy percent of property tax is school 2202 02:03:53.840 --> 02:03:56.880 is your school tax? Like, we could take that ten 2203 02:03:56.960 --> 02:04:00.600 billion dollars a year that's going on, just the part 2204 02:04:00.640 --> 02:04:03.319 that's going outside of Ohio. Y put that towards your 2205 02:04:03.359 --> 02:04:07.720 school tax. That could cut everybody's property tax by about half. 2206 02:04:08.520 --> 02:04:09.520 If my numbers are right. 2207 02:04:09.840 --> 02:04:11.079 Listen, man, there. 2208 02:04:11.159 --> 02:04:16.800 Is any relief, any relief unproperty tax would be welcome 2209 02:04:16.840 --> 02:04:19.159 here in Ohio, even if it doesn't shave it by half. 2210 02:04:19.199 --> 02:04:21.199 I would say, if it's a third, if it's a quarter, 2211 02:04:21.319 --> 02:04:23.680 whatever we can do to give the property owners some relief, 2212 02:04:23.680 --> 02:04:27.600 most notably the senior citizens living on fixed incomes who 2213 02:04:27.640 --> 02:04:29.479 had no control over the fact that their house is 2214 02:04:29.520 --> 02:04:32.039 tripled in value over the past couple of years. Those 2215 02:04:32.079 --> 02:04:34.840 people need some really good relief. And just to know 2216 02:04:34.920 --> 02:04:38.159 that this much money is going out, I would argue 2217 02:04:38.199 --> 02:04:41.600 fraudulently or at least erroneously, and it's not eligible to 2218 02:04:41.640 --> 02:04:45.000 go out of the state. That's an easy fix. Jay, 2219 02:04:45.159 --> 02:04:47.640 Thank you so much. I appreciate the compliments, and I'm 2220 02:04:47.680 --> 02:04:50.520 glad you stay on this as well.

Last Stand. You 2231 02:05:23.640 --> 02:05:26.520 probably read quite a few of them. Author of Last Stands, 2232 02:05:26.560 --> 02:05:29.720 more than fifteen other novels and nonfiction book, classical music 2233 02:05:29.760 --> 02:05:32.159 critic for Time Magazine at one point received the two 2234 02:05:32.199 --> 02:05:35.279 thousand and four American Book Awards Prize for Fiction for 2235 02:05:35.399 --> 02:05:37.920 his gangster novel There's Another One You Can Read and 2236 02:05:38.039 --> 02:05:41.520 All the Saints. He wrote popular comums from National Review, 2237 02:05:41.520 --> 02:05:43.800 which he used under a pseudonym to put into the 2238 02:05:43.800 --> 02:05:48.000 book Rules for Radical Conservatives. There's One for You, and 2239 02:05:48.119 --> 02:05:50.560 his other books Devil's Pleasure and The Fiery Angel are 2240 02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:53.359 examples of the enemy heroes and triumphs and struggles of 2241 02:05:53.399 --> 02:05:55.960 Western civilization, which allows us to pivot over to the 2242 02:05:55.960 --> 02:05:59.119 book we're talking about today. His new book, A Rage 2243 02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:02.720 to Conquer Twelve Battles that changed the course of Western history. 2244 02:06:02.760 --> 02:06:04.479 Michael Walsh, Welcome to the Morning Show. It's a real 2245 02:06:04.520 --> 02:06:05.520 pleasure to have you on today. 2246 02:06:06.399 --> 02:06:07.560 Thank you very much. Brian. 2247 02:06:08.000 --> 02:06:11.800 So, there are a lot more than twelve battles, and 2248 02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:14.760 I suppose a lot of them could have impacted Western history. 2249 02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:18.359 First off, what interested you in this topic? And then 2250 02:06:18.479 --> 02:06:21.760 how did you whittle all of the wars that have 2251 02:06:21.800 --> 02:06:23.920 been waged by man over the years down to the 2252 02:06:24.000 --> 02:06:25.119 twelve that you selected. 2253 02:06:26.239 --> 02:06:29.359 Well, I've been very interested in military history my whole life. 2254 02:06:29.399 --> 02:06:31.680 I was born actually on the Marine Corps base in 2255 02:06:31.800 --> 02:06:36.000 Campellshire in North Carolina, and my father was a Marine 2256 02:06:36.000 --> 02:06:40.399 officer who fought in Korea and elsewhere. So that's part 2257 02:06:40.399 --> 02:06:43.399 of my upbringing. And as you mentioned, I read a 2258 02:06:43.439 --> 02:06:47.079 book called Last Dance four years ago which was quite successful, 2259 02:06:47.079 --> 02:06:50.640 and that examined why men fight when everything seems to 2260 02:06:50.680 --> 02:06:53.520 be lost. But they don't cut and run. They fight. 2261 02:06:54.359 --> 02:06:56.479 So this book is an outgrowth of that book, and 2262 02:06:56.520 --> 02:07:00.199 I wanted to look at twelve battles and the command 2263 02:07:00.399 --> 02:07:05.359 who led them to talk about masculinity again and talk 2264 02:07:05.439 --> 02:07:08.960 about what it takes to be successful at what is 2265 02:07:09.319 --> 02:07:14.520 unfortunately one of the most fundamental human endeavors there is, 2266 02:07:14.600 --> 02:07:15.560 which is warfare. 2267 02:07:16.680 --> 02:07:19.960 Now. I want to approach this sort of in reverse order, 2268 02:07:20.279 --> 02:07:22.479 and we could start with the Trojan War and Achilles, 2269 02:07:22.479 --> 02:07:25.159 which I'm very interested in talking with you about. But 2270 02:07:25.760 --> 02:07:28.479 the last one, the most recent challenge, the Battle of 2271 02:07:28.560 --> 02:07:31.319 nine to eleven and how it was ultimately lost by 2272 02:07:31.399 --> 02:07:33.520 the United States. Would you put a little more flesh 2273 02:07:33.560 --> 02:07:36.840 on the bones of that conclusion. I think I get 2274 02:07:36.880 --> 02:07:40.279 your point, but that w was just my attention gravitated 2275 02:07:40.319 --> 02:07:43.479 toward that considering it wasn't, you know, a traditional form 2276 02:07:43.520 --> 02:07:45.880 of warfare unless you look at sort of maybe our 2277 02:07:45.920 --> 02:07:48.720 invasion of Iraq. 2278 02:07:50.800 --> 02:07:53.680 Well, yeah, that's turned out to the most controversial part 2279 02:07:53.720 --> 02:07:56.479 of the book. And I remember when an author writes 2280 02:07:56.520 --> 02:08:01.399 a book, he's finished the text about a year it 2281 02:08:01.520 --> 02:08:05.079 comes out. So it's not like blogging or anything. It's 2282 02:08:05.159 --> 02:08:08.239 it's you have to consider this well in advance and 2283 02:08:08.520 --> 02:08:10.359 try to figure out what readers are going to be 2284 02:08:10.439 --> 02:08:13.399 interested in. But nine to eleven struck me as an 2285 02:08:13.439 --> 02:08:18.239 example of a commander President Bush who didn't understand the 2286 02:08:18.359 --> 02:08:21.680 rules of warfare and didn't have the stomach to fight 2287 02:08:21.760 --> 02:08:25.000 the battle that needed to be fought, unlike all the 2288 02:08:25.039 --> 02:08:28.600 other guys in the book, which include you mentioned Achilles, 2289 02:08:28.760 --> 02:08:32.119 who's you know, quasi fictional, but obviously it's based on 2290 02:08:32.199 --> 02:08:36.279 somebody real wayback when. But Caesar and Constantine the Great 2291 02:08:36.319 --> 02:08:39.000 and General Patten and the other people I talked about, 2292 02:08:39.680 --> 02:08:42.239 And so as a result, we didn't really believe that 2293 02:08:42.359 --> 02:08:45.399 war was declared on us. And if you think we 2294 02:08:45.479 --> 02:08:48.399 won the Battle of nine to eleven, go to the 2295 02:08:48.439 --> 02:08:50.760 airport and see if the letters right. 2296 02:08:51.399 --> 02:08:54.960 That's a great point, you know, behind all this, the 2297 02:08:55.000 --> 02:08:58.920 whole idea of warfare though, Michael, I'm a profound constitutionalist, 2298 02:08:59.039 --> 02:09:02.600 little l libertarian I but we end up launching missiles 2299 02:09:02.600 --> 02:09:05.720 and dropping bombs and taking people out in foreign lands 2300 02:09:05.760 --> 02:09:08.760 that we did against him. We have no declaration of war. 2301 02:09:09.399 --> 02:09:12.199 And you know, with technology being pervasive, more and more 2302 02:09:12.880 --> 02:09:15.760 foreign actors and folks that we might not consider friendly 2303 02:09:16.920 --> 02:09:20.479 to us have that technology and could equally do the 2304 02:09:20.600 --> 02:09:23.600 same thing to us that we're doing to them. Congress 2305 02:09:23.640 --> 02:09:25.760 never declares war. You get an authorization, you use a 2306 02:09:25.800 --> 02:09:27.600 military force to deal with nine to eleven, and it 2307 02:09:27.680 --> 02:09:30.399 ends up lasting twenty plus years to serve as a 2308 02:09:30.479 --> 02:09:32.840 justification for conflicts literally everywhere. 2309 02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:38.560 Well, it's disgraceful. It's part of the forever war mindset, 2310 02:09:38.640 --> 02:09:41.680 which is true of people at both parties, by the way, 2311 02:09:41.680 --> 02:09:43.880 And if you don't think so, just look at one 2312 02:09:43.920 --> 02:09:47.720 of the senators from South Carolina, John love Child, who 2313 02:09:47.760 --> 02:09:51.439 never saw war. He personally didn't want to fight in, 2314 02:09:51.600 --> 02:09:55.079 but didn't want somebody else to fight in. The fact 2315 02:09:55.199 --> 02:09:57.560 is that we got more declared on us, and we 2316 02:09:57.720 --> 02:10:03.359 simply refused to accept. So this event happened, and then 2317 02:10:03.399 --> 02:10:07.079 we refused to address the issue, and we went to 2318 02:10:07.199 --> 02:10:10.640 other countries which had little or nothing to do with it. 2319 02:10:09.880 --> 02:10:10.000 Uh. 2320 02:10:11.199 --> 02:10:14.279 Cut to twenty some years later, and we even immediately 2321 02:10:14.399 --> 02:10:18.199 pull out of Afghanistan. It was a disgrace. And that's 2322 02:10:18.199 --> 02:10:19.079 what I said in the book. 2323 02:10:19.680 --> 02:10:22.319 Well, I think you're probably in good company with my 2324 02:10:22.399 --> 02:10:25.920 listening audience on those conclusions, sir. Now back to Achilles again. 2325 02:10:26.840 --> 02:10:28.239 One of the reasons I was drawn to that is 2326 02:10:28.279 --> 02:10:31.800 because there is a lot of fictional element associated with Achilles, 2327 02:10:31.800 --> 02:10:35.840 like the Achilles Heel story. But what was his importance? 2328 02:10:37.039 --> 02:10:37.920 Is it? Ilium? 2329 02:10:39.359 --> 02:10:44.520 Yes? Yeah, said Troy. Yeah. The Iliad, which is one 2330 02:10:44.520 --> 02:10:49.439 of the foundational great poem along with the Odyssey of 2331 02:10:49.560 --> 02:10:55.039 Western Culture, talks about something that we now know happened. 2332 02:10:55.880 --> 02:10:58.119 We're not sure to what a stenate did, and Homer 2333 02:10:58.600 --> 02:11:01.960 comes down to us himself as a semi mystical figure. 2334 02:11:02.399 --> 02:11:05.960 But something happened there. But what's great about the earli end, 2335 02:11:06.000 --> 02:11:07.960 First of all, it's a great, great work of art, 2336 02:11:08.119 --> 02:11:13.079 and secondly, it does describe in graphic and gruesome detail 2337 02:11:13.720 --> 02:11:19.560 how warfare was conducted around roughly one thousand BC uh 2338 02:11:19.800 --> 02:11:23.479 and that is the beginning of the West's first clash 2339 02:11:23.640 --> 02:11:27.880 with the East. So the obviously the Greeks were on 2340 02:11:27.960 --> 02:11:31.960 the western side of this divide, and the Trojans Troy 2341 02:11:32.039 --> 02:11:38.000 is now and where western Turkey is they were the east. 2342 02:11:38.159 --> 02:11:40.960 And this is a theme that runs throughout Western history. 2343 02:11:41.000 --> 02:11:46.520 Alexander's fight, Alexander's fighting the Persians. There's this constant battle 2344 02:11:47.119 --> 02:11:50.800 within Rome against the Parthians, who are also sort of 2345 02:11:50.880 --> 02:11:54.039 Quasei Persians. It was is one of the threads of 2346 02:11:54.079 --> 02:11:56.520 the book. But you have to start with the very 2347 02:11:56.560 --> 02:11:58.279 first war story and that's. 2348 02:11:58.079 --> 02:12:02.560 It understood, and fast forward over to the Crusades, the 2349 02:12:02.600 --> 02:12:05.239 first Cruquete Crusades Bohemond. 2350 02:12:06.119 --> 02:12:10.600 Yes, yeah, no one has heard of Beaulamonte except for. 2351 02:12:10.520 --> 02:12:13.359 The first time, sir. This is it man. I've just 2352 02:12:13.399 --> 02:12:14.800 been introduced to Bauhemont. 2353 02:12:15.560 --> 02:12:19.680 Yeah, well, he's an amazing figure and he is the 2354 02:12:19.680 --> 02:12:24.079 hero of this particular chapter because he won two critical 2355 02:12:24.279 --> 02:12:28.920 battles in the first Crusade, which was recalled by the 2356 02:12:28.960 --> 02:12:33.000 Pulpe in response to the Byzantine Emperor, the emperor of 2357 02:12:33.039 --> 02:12:38.239 the eastern part of the old Roman Emperor Empire, to 2358 02:12:38.279 --> 02:12:41.279 liberate the holy sites of Christianity. So this was in 2359 02:12:41.319 --> 02:12:45.319 the very late eleventh century, and Beauma was a great, 2360 02:12:45.399 --> 02:12:48.840 big Norman. The Normans had just conquered England like thirty 2361 02:12:48.920 --> 02:12:54.600 years before, and many of the Normans joined the Crusade 2362 02:12:54.760 --> 02:12:57.439 and went to the Holy Land to fight. And Beaumont 2363 02:12:57.520 --> 02:13:02.920 himself was a Norman from southern had conquered the lower 2364 02:13:02.960 --> 02:13:05.640 part of Italy and Sicily and ruled it for many, 2365 02:13:05.680 --> 02:13:09.960 many years. So Vaumont led his troops and he was 2366 02:13:10.000 --> 02:13:13.840 a giant of a man. He was a tactical genius 2367 02:13:14.359 --> 02:13:17.760 and was able to stave off defeat in the very 2368 02:13:17.760 --> 02:13:21.479 first battle the Crusaders fought against the Turks, and he 2369 02:13:21.560 --> 02:13:24.920 was able to win and keep the whole the siege 2370 02:13:24.920 --> 02:13:29.000 of Antioch and caused that city, which was crucial to 2371 02:13:29.319 --> 02:13:32.840 the path to Jerusalem, which he then took for himself, 2372 02:13:32.840 --> 02:13:35.399 and he kind of drops out of the crusading narrative. 2373 02:13:35.479 --> 02:13:38.920 But in two places he really stepped up and shows 2374 02:13:39.039 --> 02:13:44.319 the superiority of Western arms and also the size that 2375 02:13:44.760 --> 02:13:48.199 the Franks were much bigger than the Turks, and they 2376 02:13:48.319 --> 02:13:51.079 had a problem. The Turks were very mobile, kind of 2377 02:13:51.119 --> 02:13:55.880 like American Indians against the cowboys or the cavalry in 2378 02:13:56.039 --> 02:13:59.039 the American West that come in, shoot run away, come 2379 02:13:59.079 --> 02:14:01.439 in and shoot runaway. The crusaders were frustrated they could 2380 02:14:01.439 --> 02:14:04.199 ever get their hands on them. Well, Bowman finally did 2381 02:14:04.279 --> 02:14:07.640 and fended off this ambush. They could have ended the 2382 02:14:07.680 --> 02:14:11.119 crusade at a little place called Dora Lam and then 2383 02:14:11.279 --> 02:14:13.600 regrouped and they marched all the way to Antioch and 2384 02:14:13.840 --> 02:14:18.760 in a brilliant siege, took Antioch against vastly, vastly superior numbers. 2385 02:14:19.079 --> 02:14:21.600 Now, in terms of the crusades, you said, the Pope 2386 02:14:21.640 --> 02:14:24.319 issued this, you know request, and everybody needs to go 2387 02:14:24.359 --> 02:14:26.960 there to help out. And I understand this was was 2388 02:14:27.000 --> 02:14:29.920 it largely viewed by people as a legitimate, you know, 2389 02:14:30.079 --> 02:14:34.119 calling from God like that this this was a necessary 2390 02:14:34.239 --> 02:14:37.960 religious thing to do, because you know, over the years, 2391 02:14:38.000 --> 02:14:40.079 there's a lot of speculation that well, now there's just 2392 02:14:40.119 --> 02:14:42.119 a bunch of Europeans that wanted to go plunder and 2393 02:14:42.680 --> 02:14:45.399 look for treasure as opposed to liberate the country. 2394 02:14:45.880 --> 02:14:47.760 Yeah, well there's an answer for that, which is, but 2395 02:14:47.840 --> 02:14:50.239 the first crusade was successful, most of them went home. 2396 02:14:50.840 --> 02:14:56.520 They didn't stay. Himself was a Lackland who took part 2397 02:14:56.560 --> 02:14:59.880 of the turf that was conquered, and so did the 2398 02:15:00.319 --> 02:15:02.479 but most of them went home. And a point I 2399 02:15:02.520 --> 02:15:04.319 make over and over again in the book is that 2400 02:15:04.680 --> 02:15:10.199 almost all these wars have some religious component, and from 2401 02:15:10.199 --> 02:15:14.560 the earliest time, success in war was contributed to your God, 2402 02:15:15.000 --> 02:15:18.600 and failure meant that you had not lived up to 2403 02:15:18.680 --> 02:15:21.319 the demands of your God. You hadn't prayed hard enough, 2404 02:15:21.359 --> 02:15:25.760 sacrificed hard enough, you had you lost because of insufficient fidelity. 2405 02:15:26.079 --> 02:15:29.880 This is a constant theme throughout Western history. It's very 2406 02:15:29.960 --> 02:15:31.119 very interesting. 2407 02:15:31.159 --> 02:15:34.000 And it makes sense. You know, if you believe in 2408 02:15:34.000 --> 02:15:36.880 a supreme power and you're beholden to them, and you 2409 02:15:36.920 --> 02:15:39.920 actually have a belief system that involves you know, God 2410 02:15:40.000 --> 02:15:42.439 and acts of God, then yeah, you're going to step 2411 02:15:42.520 --> 02:15:46.039 up to the play because basically your soul is contingent 2412 02:15:46.119 --> 02:15:48.439 upon it. Where you're going to end up in the afterlife, right. 2413 02:15:49.199 --> 02:15:51.680 Yeah, Well you also got a complete remission of sins 2414 02:15:51.720 --> 02:15:55.199 if you went on the cruise. That was part of 2415 02:15:55.199 --> 02:15:58.520 the deal. And also what's interesting is the Church guaranteed 2416 02:15:58.600 --> 02:16:02.079 your property because the Church was the only power, you know, 2417 02:16:02.560 --> 02:16:05.680 the Roman Empire having fallen five hundred years earlier, six 2418 02:16:05.760 --> 02:16:09.199 hundred years earlier. Uh, And you were immune from lawsuits. 2419 02:16:09.560 --> 02:16:12.640 And there was there was a bunch of upside. A 2420 02:16:12.640 --> 02:16:16.439 lot of them died on the route trip France and 2421 02:16:16.680 --> 02:16:19.720 what's now Germany, uh, all the way to the east 2422 02:16:19.840 --> 02:16:23.000 to the eastern edge of the Mediterranean. But there were 2423 02:16:23.039 --> 02:16:27.000 some some bennies, shall we say, uh with it, But 2424 02:16:27.039 --> 02:16:29.279 I would say it was mostly fueled by religious ardor. 2425 02:16:29.319 --> 02:16:31.920 And that was true with the Muslim side too. They 2426 02:16:31.960 --> 02:16:34.479 believed in the prophet. They were they were undefeated up 2427 02:16:34.520 --> 02:16:38.079 to that point. They had never encountered any opposition that 2428 02:16:38.200 --> 02:16:41.719 stood up. They rolled through the remnants of the Roman Empire, 2429 02:16:41.760 --> 02:16:47.280 they rolled over Persia, conquered Iran, Islami sized Iran. They 2430 02:16:47.280 --> 02:16:49.440 were they were used to success. And the first time 2431 02:16:49.479 --> 02:16:52.840 they came up against the Franks and got walked, and 2432 02:16:52.920 --> 02:16:56.559 they were it taught them something to and and this 2433 02:16:56.600 --> 02:16:59.000 war now that particular war has been going on for 2434 02:16:59.040 --> 02:17:02.920 a thousand plus, that's the Israel Goaza conflict. That's where 2435 02:17:02.959 --> 02:17:03.680 that starts. 2436 02:17:03.840 --> 02:17:06.399 It's amazing that that has been raging for that long. 2437 02:17:07.000 --> 02:17:09.319 And you did bring up the travel I was going 2438 02:17:09.399 --> 02:17:11.600 to ask you about that in terms of the the 2439 02:17:11.600 --> 02:17:16.200 the crusades, that that distance in the time it would 2440 02:17:16.239 --> 02:17:18.040 take to get from point A to point B to 2441 02:17:18.200 --> 02:17:22.120 fight and then come back home. I'm just I suppose 2442 02:17:23.319 --> 02:17:26.120 that we're still under a feudal system then, correct. 2443 02:17:27.360 --> 02:17:30.559 Yeah, more or less. The kings of Europe had not 2444 02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:34.479 really quite emerged yet. So what that's called the Princess 2445 02:17:34.479 --> 02:17:38.120 Crusade because remember there's no France, there is no Germany 2446 02:17:38.440 --> 02:17:41.760 right as we know it. So these were little princeling 2447 02:17:41.920 --> 02:17:46.120 some of various little principalities around Europe that that got 2448 02:17:46.120 --> 02:17:49.639 together and organized an army uh and they had specific 2449 02:17:49.760 --> 02:17:54.040 leaders and they accomplished that. It's an amazing logistical feat 2450 02:17:54.120 --> 02:17:56.000 when you stop to think about it, that they came 2451 02:17:56.040 --> 02:18:00.319 all that way by land and sea, over terrible reign 2452 02:18:00.520 --> 02:18:02.719 and lost a lot of their people, but they just 2453 02:18:03.120 --> 02:18:05.159 kept going. And there were times they didn't want to go, 2454 02:18:05.799 --> 02:18:09.120 but they felt they had to go. And so they 2455 02:18:09.200 --> 02:18:11.879 seized upon any sign that God was with them, most 2456 02:18:11.920 --> 02:18:15.600 famously at Antioch, where they were getting they were having 2457 02:18:15.600 --> 02:18:19.200 a very hard time with the giant Turkish army, and 2458 02:18:19.239 --> 02:18:22.239 then one of them discovered what he purported to be 2459 02:18:23.079 --> 02:18:26.319 the holy the tip of the Holy spear that had 2460 02:18:26.360 --> 02:18:30.520 pierced Christ's side at the time of the crucifixion, and 2461 02:18:30.719 --> 02:18:34.559 using this rusty piece of iron, they went into battle 2462 02:18:34.639 --> 02:18:38.879 holding it up and won. So actually they thought God 2463 02:18:39.000 --> 02:18:41.760 was on their side at that point. The crusader motto 2464 02:18:41.959 --> 02:18:46.000 was deuslovl God wills it, and they would shout at 2465 02:18:46.079 --> 02:18:47.360 us they would move into battle. 2466 02:18:47.840 --> 02:18:50.760 Fascinating stuff.

Nextpert, my dear friend Jay Ratliffe, It's always 2511 02:21:12.399 --> 02:21:13.600 a pleasure to have you on the show. 2512 02:21:14.399 --> 02:21:17.520 Hey, I love all the veteran support things that you have, 2513 02:21:17.559 --> 02:21:19.319 so I appreciate that. I'm not a beer drinker, but 2514 02:21:19.600 --> 02:21:20.280 I love hearing it. 2515 02:21:20.360 --> 02:21:22.239 Well, you could buy a beer for a veteran. You 2516 02:21:22.239 --> 02:21:23.680 don't have to drink one, you know. 2517 02:21:23.959 --> 02:21:26.559 Well, I would buy more than one for But yes, 2518 02:21:28.079 --> 02:21:30.760 those men and women allowed me to do what I do, 2519 02:21:30.840 --> 02:21:32.440 and it's I'll. 2520 02:21:32.239 --> 02:21:35.760 Forever be thankful. Amen, brother. Absolutely, Well, let's get the 2521 02:21:35.840 --> 02:21:38.239 latest on this Delta Toronto crash. I finally got to 2522 02:21:38.280 --> 02:21:41.559 see the video of that and what the hell happened. 2523 02:21:41.600 --> 02:21:43.799 I was just wondering all day long when it first 2524 02:21:43.959 --> 02:21:46.000 was reported and I saw photographs of the plane on 2525 02:21:46.040 --> 02:21:47.680 its back, I'm like, how in the hell did it 2526 02:21:47.719 --> 02:21:50.040 get on its back? But when you watch the video, 2527 02:21:50.159 --> 02:21:52.680 you see that was it the wind. I know there's 2528 02:21:52.719 --> 02:21:55.280 some speculation it was like a wind shear coming across 2529 02:21:55.360 --> 02:21:58.319 the from the west side and the plane was what 2530 02:21:58.479 --> 02:22:01.120 landing south to north, north to south. I don't know. 2531 02:22:01.159 --> 02:22:01.760 You explained it. 2532 02:22:02.600 --> 02:22:05.879 Well, the first thing I look at anytime we've got 2533 02:22:05.920 --> 02:22:08.239 a situation like this is the weather. Did the weather 2534 02:22:08.520 --> 02:22:12.799 perhaps have a contributing contribute to whatever took place? And 2535 02:22:12.840 --> 02:22:15.440 here we were dealing with crosswinds thirty to forty miles 2536 02:22:15.479 --> 02:22:19.200 an hour, which aircraft can handle. It's a bit problematic, 2537 02:22:19.200 --> 02:22:22.600 but nothing that today's flight cruise can't handle. They normally 2538 02:22:22.879 --> 02:22:25.959 increase their approach speed just a bit to offset what 2539 02:22:26.000 --> 02:22:27.879 they're going to be dealing with on the crosswind, and 2540 02:22:28.280 --> 02:22:32.280 they go through the normal the process. I saw the video, though, 2541 02:22:32.319 --> 02:22:37.280 and it shocked me because I'm thinking, Okay, I understand 2542 02:22:37.280 --> 02:22:43.440 you have a slightly increased speed on arrival, but the 2543 02:22:43.479 --> 02:22:46.799 angle that the aircraft comes into the runway and the 2544 02:22:46.879 --> 02:22:50.760 speed on which it comes in. Matthew Buckley, who was 2545 02:22:50.799 --> 02:22:55.079 a fighter pilot, I heard him quoted on a news 2546 02:22:55.399 --> 02:22:59.159 feed this week. He said that was an aircraft carrier landing, 2547 02:22:59.399 --> 02:23:02.719 and I thought that was the perfect way to phrase it, 2548 02:23:03.079 --> 02:23:06.840 because typically when an aircraft comes in right before you 2549 02:23:06.920 --> 02:23:10.399 have the touchdown, what the crew tends to do is 2550 02:23:10.840 --> 02:23:12.879 to pull the nose up just a bit. They flared up, 2551 02:23:13.239 --> 02:23:15.399 so just like you remember the space shield of the landing, 2552 02:23:15.440 --> 02:23:18.920 the rear gears come down first, and then slowly the 2553 02:23:18.959 --> 02:23:22.040 front rotates down to where the landing gear touches down. 2554 02:23:22.600 --> 02:23:25.399 Here all three seemed to almost hit the same time 2555 02:23:26.200 --> 02:23:28.879 and at such a speed that it looked like the 2556 02:23:28.920 --> 02:23:31.719 force of that could have caused and I'm not sure 2557 02:23:31.760 --> 02:23:35.000 because the investigation is just beginning, the right rear landing 2558 02:23:35.000 --> 02:23:38.040 gear to collapse. So once you have the right landing 2559 02:23:38.079 --> 02:23:40.440 gear collapse, everything shifts to the right. 2560 02:23:40.639 --> 02:23:40.920 Yeah. 2561 02:23:41.000 --> 02:23:44.239 You then have the wing that comes ripped off of 2562 02:23:44.280 --> 02:23:48.360 the aircraft. It may have been the landing gear helped 2563 02:23:48.399 --> 02:23:52.120 to take the wing off, we don't know. And then 2564 02:23:52.200 --> 02:23:54.680 you've still have the left wing that's on the aircraft 2565 02:23:54.680 --> 02:23:56.879 that's still doing what it's supposed to be doing. Fine. 2566 02:23:57.440 --> 02:24:00.479 So what happens was abs in a white a right wing. 2567 02:24:00.600 --> 02:24:04.239 You now see the aircraft turn, it pivots up and 2568 02:24:04.760 --> 02:24:08.399 comes around to where it's on its top. Now, one 2569 02:24:08.399 --> 02:24:10.680 of the things I'm glad for it is that the 2570 02:24:10.760 --> 02:24:14.920 fuel that was in the right wing was detached and 2571 02:24:15.120 --> 02:24:20.239 was trailing the fuselage. That was a mirror, definitely a 2572 02:24:20.280 --> 02:24:24.760 miracle there because you had jet fuel aviations gone everywhere, 2573 02:24:25.280 --> 02:24:27.639 and that part that was on fire, and of course 2574 02:24:27.680 --> 02:24:31.399 there's always the fear of explosion, and it was separated 2575 02:24:31.399 --> 02:24:35.159 from the aircraft, which was good, and the entire interior 2576 02:24:35.239 --> 02:24:38.040 of the aircraft did exactly what it should have. The 2577 02:24:38.079 --> 02:24:41.879 fuselage remained intact. The seats which have been totally and 2578 02:24:41.920 --> 02:24:45.040 completely upgraded over the decades, which now I think they're 2579 02:24:45.079 --> 02:24:48.520 rated for sixteen g's of force, they didn't go anywhere. 2580 02:24:48.920 --> 02:24:51.840 You had everybody hopefully strapped in as they should have been. 2581 02:24:52.479 --> 02:24:56.440 You have fire retardant materials inside the aircraft again, because 2582 02:24:56.479 --> 02:24:58.799 we've learned over the years and we've made things safer 2583 02:24:59.479 --> 02:25:03.799 that air aircraft, and that accident was probably the poster 2584 02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:07.360 child for everything that the NTSB has been able to 2585 02:25:07.360 --> 02:25:10.520 do over the last thirty forty years and constantly learning 2586 02:25:10.559 --> 02:25:13.959 from every accident in their accident, so every aspect of 2587 02:25:14.120 --> 02:25:17.479 aircraft aviation we can make safer. And then of course 2588 02:25:17.520 --> 02:25:19.719 you had the flight attendants do an incredible job getting 2589 02:25:19.719 --> 02:25:22.920 people out of the aircraft. Remember, the easiest thing to 2590 02:25:22.959 --> 02:25:25.440 do is to throw open that door to get everybody out. 2591 02:25:25.719 --> 02:25:29.200 The problem is you're inverted, so had they not remembered 2592 02:25:29.280 --> 02:25:32.479 to disengage the emergency slides, you open that door and 2593 02:25:32.760 --> 02:25:35.719 all they're going to do is drop again. These flight attendants, 2594 02:25:35.799 --> 02:25:39.239 I cannot brag on their training enough. You've got all 2595 02:25:39.280 --> 02:25:42.040 of this going on. It was happening in seconds. They're 2596 02:25:42.040 --> 02:25:45.600 getting everybody off the aircraft and they did their typical 2597 02:25:45.760 --> 02:25:48.520 great job, and you know, it reminded me because they're 2598 02:25:48.559 --> 02:25:51.719 calling this a miracle in Toronto. It was twenty years 2599 02:25:51.760 --> 02:25:54.200 ago we had a miracle in Toronto and Air France 2600 02:25:54.239 --> 02:25:58.079 flight comes in lands Long, hits hard. Kind of a 2601 02:25:58.079 --> 02:26:01.760 similar situation here, playing breaks up, heart catches on fire, 2602 02:26:01.879 --> 02:26:05.280 three hundred nine people on board, the plane's about to explode. 2603 02:26:05.639 --> 02:26:07.959 Now to board three hundred and nine people, it takes 2604 02:26:08.040 --> 02:26:11.200 you forty five minutes or so. Yeah, the flight attendant's 2605 02:26:11.239 --> 02:26:14.639 got everybody off in less than ninety seconds. Airplane blows up, 2606 02:26:14.799 --> 02:26:18.479 no fatalities. You look at the images of Air France 2607 02:26:18.520 --> 02:26:21.000 three point fifty eight a Google image, and aircraft is 2608 02:26:21.040 --> 02:26:25.000 completely burnt, totally, it's gone, and you're thinking, good lord, 2609 02:26:25.040 --> 02:26:29.239 did anybody survive? Everyone survived. The flight attendants did a 2610 02:26:29.280 --> 02:26:31.520 great job, you know, and we know that because of 2611 02:26:31.559 --> 02:26:33.959 all the people who felt compelled before they got out 2612 02:26:33.959 --> 02:26:36.600 of the aircraft to video everything that was going on, 2613 02:26:36.680 --> 02:26:39.639 because look, I'm upside down, the airplane may be on fire. 2614 02:26:39.719 --> 02:26:41.639 Of course I'm going to video what's going on now. 2615 02:26:41.680 --> 02:26:43.879 I'm gonna get my butt off that airplane. But some 2616 02:26:43.879 --> 02:26:47.040 people thought videoing it was I might get alike here. 2617 02:26:47.120 --> 02:26:50.399 Yeah, let's do that, then go and then change my underwear. Honestly, 2618 02:26:51.399 --> 02:26:51.760 Oh my. 2619 02:26:51.879 --> 02:26:54.959 Lord, it's just these people. I just you know, people die. 2620 02:26:55.559 --> 02:26:57.440 I'm gonna get next to a buffalo. I'm gonna lead 2621 02:26:57.520 --> 02:26:58.319 off this cliff. 2622 02:26:58.440 --> 02:27:01.600 It just well, we refer to that as you know, 2623 02:27:01.680 --> 02:27:05.360 the the Darwin theory of evolution, your survival of the fittest. 2624 02:27:05.639 --> 02:27:07.879 We'll bring Jay back. We got several more things to 2625 02:27:07.920 --> 02:27:10.600 talk about with our heart media aviation expert Jay RATHP. 2626 02:27:10.639 --> 02:27:11.159 We're going to do that. 2627 02:27:11.280 --> 02:27:13.680 Just hang on fifty five KRC. 2628 02:27:14.440 --> 02:27:18.120 My name is Kyle Tigisim. 2629 02:27:18.319 --> 02:27:20.879 It's a thirty nine I fifty got KRCD talk station. 2630 02:27:23.079 --> 02:27:26.719 It's Thursday. It's I heard media avation expert Jay Ratlift. 2631 02:27:26.760 --> 02:27:29.399 Time and Jay have pivoting over to Trump and his 2632 02:27:29.760 --> 02:27:34.719 firing of FAA employees, and everyone seems to want to 2633 02:27:34.719 --> 02:27:38.120 blame him for every airplane disaster it's out there. When 2634 02:27:38.399 --> 02:27:40.840 Donald Trump wasn't around, it didn't have anything to do 2635 02:27:40.879 --> 02:27:43.079 with it, but he didn't get rid of some FAA 2636 02:27:43.120 --> 02:27:48.600 employees and apparently looking to upgrade the FAA flight system 2637 02:27:48.639 --> 02:27:51.239 because what it's it's it's a legacy system from like 2638 02:27:51.280 --> 02:27:52.639 the nineteen fifties or something. 2639 02:27:52.719 --> 02:27:55.559 Right, Oh, you're being kind, but yes, at least the 2640 02:27:55.639 --> 02:27:58.399 nineteen fifties. And you and I've talked about the need 2641 02:27:58.440 --> 02:28:04.079 for upgrading that system. Incredible to use the word upgrade 2642 02:28:04.520 --> 02:28:06.600 is an insult to the word upgrade. It's just it 2643 02:28:06.639 --> 02:28:10.159 needs to be blown up and redone. So if President 2644 02:28:10.159 --> 02:28:13.399 Trump can bring in the SpaceX people that can land 2645 02:28:13.879 --> 02:28:17.000 a rocket, I think that they can figure out a 2646 02:28:17.000 --> 02:28:20.799 way to upgrade significantly what we have with the air 2647 02:28:20.840 --> 02:28:24.520 traffic control system. And I'm incredibly excited because of all 2648 02:28:24.559 --> 02:28:27.959 the presidents we've had for the last twenty thirty forty years, 2649 02:28:28.440 --> 02:28:31.319 you've heard many of them talk about the need for 2650 02:28:31.399 --> 02:28:35.639 devoting the necessary resources and to get things improved as 2651 02:28:35.719 --> 02:28:39.239 much as possible. At the Federal Aviation Administration, rarely does 2652 02:28:39.239 --> 02:28:41.920 it happen. Now, we've had a few projects next gen 2653 02:28:42.079 --> 02:28:48.479 the tracking system that has been so decades behind schedule, 2654 02:28:48.639 --> 02:28:52.159 so far over costs, it's been ridiculous. But the idea 2655 02:28:52.239 --> 02:28:55.879 of getting this kind of attention now thrills me because 2656 02:28:55.879 --> 02:28:58.399 if they can attack it like the Manhattan Project, knock 2657 02:28:58.399 --> 02:29:00.840 it out in two or three years, and come out 2658 02:29:00.879 --> 02:29:03.319 with something that's state of the art. It means that 2659 02:29:03.399 --> 02:29:06.639 even if we have air traffic controllers that are working 2660 02:29:06.799 --> 02:29:10.440 shorthanded as we are across the country, let's at least 2661 02:29:10.440 --> 02:29:13.280 give them the state of the art technology. Let's make 2662 02:29:13.280 --> 02:29:15.600 it as easy on them as we can to do 2663 02:29:15.639 --> 02:29:17.799 their jobs, which of course is just going to make 2664 02:29:18.040 --> 02:29:22.159 everything that much more safe. And of course, when Donald 2665 02:29:22.159 --> 02:29:26.120 Trump comes out and fires four hundred or three hundred 2666 02:29:26.120 --> 02:29:30.239 people from the FAA, that's what everybody's screaming about. And 2667 02:29:30.600 --> 02:29:33.879 you know, they asked the Delta CEO at Bastian this 2668 02:29:33.959 --> 02:29:36.600 week I think it was yesterday about that very point, 2669 02:29:36.639 --> 02:29:38.840 and he just shrugged it off. He said, look, about 2670 02:29:38.879 --> 02:29:42.399 three or four hundred people. They were probationary employees, none 2671 02:29:42.399 --> 02:29:45.159 of them air traffic control, none of them in a 2672 02:29:45.200 --> 02:29:50.000 critical supports position. And yeah, it was just part of 2673 02:29:50.079 --> 02:29:53.120 all the trimming that's taking place right now. 2674 02:29:53.280 --> 02:29:53.360 Now. 2675 02:29:53.360 --> 02:29:55.799 I'll be the first to admit the opticts look horrible, 2676 02:29:56.200 --> 02:29:58.879 but the bottom line is the idea that these were 2677 02:29:59.159 --> 02:30:04.559 air traffic control rollers and individual No, they were probationary employees. 2678 02:30:04.959 --> 02:30:06.600 A lot of them are being interviewed and you would 2679 02:30:06.600 --> 02:30:09.440 think they were the head of the FAA, but that's 2680 02:30:09.479 --> 02:30:11.959 not the case. So what we have as as far 2681 02:30:12.000 --> 02:30:15.639 as the situation here is if we can get everything 2682 02:30:15.879 --> 02:30:19.719 upgraded and we can devote more time in getting a 2683 02:30:19.840 --> 02:30:23.479 non DEI approach to air traffic controllers, I think we're 2684 02:30:23.479 --> 02:30:24.760 going to be in good shape. Because it was a 2685 02:30:24.799 --> 02:30:27.360 number of years ago the FAA wanted to be more inclusive. 2686 02:30:27.639 --> 02:30:31.159 Nothing wrong with that, but they significantly lowered the standards 2687 02:30:31.440 --> 02:30:35.239 for us bringing in individuals from a qualification standpoint, and 2688 02:30:35.280 --> 02:30:37.799 that's where I have my issue. I don't care about 2689 02:30:37.879 --> 02:30:40.639 anybody's whatever. I just want to make sure that they're 2690 02:30:40.680 --> 02:30:45.639 the most qualified individual, male, female, whatever for that position. 2691 02:30:46.079 --> 02:30:48.559 And as long as that's the focus, then that's great. 2692 02:30:48.760 --> 02:30:51.280 I don't want to have a DEI policy like United 2693 02:30:51.280 --> 02:30:53.760 wants for pilots where they want twenty percent of their 2694 02:30:53.760 --> 02:30:57.559 pilots hired to be women or minorities. That's a great goal, 2695 02:30:57.840 --> 02:31:00.760 but to have that stated that means you're going to 2696 02:31:00.840 --> 02:31:03.879 say no to very qualified people to bring in less 2697 02:31:03.959 --> 02:31:07.840 qualified people. And even though some will say, well, that's 2698 02:31:07.840 --> 02:31:12.159 not a downgrade and safety because they're all qualified. Look, 2699 02:31:12.760 --> 02:31:15.440 if I've got an attorney as fifty years experience versus 2700 02:31:15.440 --> 02:31:17.959 one that's got ten years experience, I know which one 2701 02:31:17.959 --> 02:31:19.120 I want to go with problems. 2702 02:31:19.399 --> 02:31:22.399 You were right on that. All right, let's move over. 2703 02:31:22.479 --> 02:31:23.440 There was another uh. 2704 02:31:23.399 --> 02:31:26.479 Oh, and Brian, excuse me, I do have an attorney. 2705 02:31:26.159 --> 02:31:26.760 Question for you. 2706 02:31:26.959 --> 02:31:31.799 Yeah, the Delta Airlines is coming out offering the people 2707 02:31:31.840 --> 02:31:36.520 on the Toronto flight thirty thousand dollars, no strings attached, 2708 02:31:37.639 --> 02:31:39.879 and the thought is it would not prevent you from 2709 02:31:39.959 --> 02:31:43.680 further lawsuits or anything you want to do legally down 2710 02:31:43.719 --> 02:31:46.280 the road. I want to trust Delta to do this, 2711 02:31:46.440 --> 02:31:49.799 I really do, because it's such a nice gesture. But 2712 02:31:50.159 --> 02:31:53.840 I would wonder, from your hat and your experience, what 2713 02:31:53.879 --> 02:31:56.479 would you think about somebody taking that thirty thousand dollars 2714 02:31:56.520 --> 02:31:57.319 from Delta. 2715 02:31:57.680 --> 02:32:00.120 Well, if it didn't come with strings attached, because I 2716 02:32:00.159 --> 02:32:02.559 would figure that they would have a well a settlement 2717 02:32:02.559 --> 02:32:05.200 agreement form pre prepared that by signing on the dotted 2718 02:32:05.280 --> 02:32:07.600 line and accepting thirty thousand dollars, you agree to release 2719 02:32:07.639 --> 02:32:10.760 and Delta from all further liability. But if they're just 2720 02:32:10.799 --> 02:32:14.200 saying here, I don't know that can necessarily impact it. 2721 02:32:14.239 --> 02:32:17.760 Accept at trial when you were asking for your damages 2722 02:32:17.840 --> 02:32:19.840 and Delta's attorneys, if you have to go through the 2723 02:32:19.879 --> 02:32:22.040 trial process, would say, well, it needs to be reduced. 2724 02:32:21.799 --> 02:32:24.360 We did give you thirty thousand dollars, right, so you're 2725 02:32:24.680 --> 02:32:27.319 part of your pain and suffering or your economic damages 2726 02:32:27.399 --> 02:32:30.719 or whatever, it has already been reduced by that amount. 2727 02:32:31.120 --> 02:32:35.319 So but since you're talking about, you know, theoretical numbers, 2728 02:32:35.360 --> 02:32:37.440 like how much do you get for pain and suffering 2729 02:32:37.440 --> 02:32:41.159 and emotional damage? What does that figure really even mean? 2730 02:32:41.840 --> 02:32:44.920 So it's a random figure that a jury might award 2731 02:32:44.959 --> 02:32:46.760 you that you're going to be reduced by a thirty 2732 02:32:46.799 --> 02:32:50.319 thousand dollars amount of Okay whatever, Maybe the jury gave 2733 02:32:50.319 --> 02:32:53.040 the guy thirty thousand dollars more than he really even needed. 2734 02:32:53.120 --> 02:32:53.680 I don't know. 2735 02:32:55.040 --> 02:32:57.360 It's like out the idea that you would be comfortable with. 2736 02:32:57.399 --> 02:33:01.200 It makes me feel better about it, because, you know, sadly, 2737 02:33:01.639 --> 02:33:04.000 in my career, there were times I had to deal 2738 02:33:04.040 --> 02:33:07.360 with individuals that survived plane crashes, some that were the 2739 02:33:07.360 --> 02:33:12.479 sole survivors of commercial crashes. And I'm thrilled that everybody survived, 2740 02:33:12.479 --> 02:33:16.079 but we would be remiss at not remembering that the 2741 02:33:16.440 --> 02:33:19.120 emotional stress that these individuals went through is going to 2742 02:33:19.120 --> 02:33:20.840 be something that for many of them, they're going to 2743 02:33:20.920 --> 02:33:22.719 be living with and coping with for the rest. 2744 02:33:22.600 --> 02:33:23.040 Of their life. 2745 02:33:23.079 --> 02:33:25.479 Yeah, like a decision to never fly again because I 2746 02:33:25.520 --> 02:33:28.879 almost died. I can understand that a lot. Yeah, let's pause. 2747 02:33:30.360 --> 02:33:32.879 We're going to talk about the other mid air collision 2748 02:33:32.920 --> 02:33:36.920 between the General Aviation airplanes, and then also a word 2749 02:33:37.000 --> 02:33:40.120 or two about breaking wheelchairs plus hub delays. One more 2750 02:33:40.239 --> 02:33:41.200 with Jay Ratliffe. 2751 02:33:41.200 --> 02:33:44.719 Hang around fifty five car the talk station. 2752 02:33:45.159 --> 02:33:47.920 One more time for the nine weather forecast twenty two 2753 02:33:48.000 --> 02:33:49.639 for the high today with clouds over night, a little 2754 02:33:49.680 --> 02:33:53.479 thirteen with clouds thirty with some sun tomorrow, and the 2755 02:33:53.479 --> 02:33:57.200 flood warning ending at one thirty, partly cloudie overnight with 2756 02:33:57.280 --> 02:34:02.239 a little thirteen Saturday clearing up, and thirty seven thirteen 2757 02:34:02.239 --> 02:34:04.159 degrees right now times the final traffic chuck. 2758 02:34:04.559 --> 02:34:06.680 From the UCAL Tramping Center.

That's boundless care for better. I've comes 2761 02:34:13.040 --> 02:34:16.360 expect more at you see health dot com. Northbound seventy 2762 02:34:16.399 --> 02:34:19.079 five is shut down that Cincinnati Dayton Road due to 2763 02:34:19.079 --> 02:34:23.159 an accident went back to traffic through Westchester. Southbound seventy 2764 02:34:23.239 --> 02:34:26.920 five closed at Paddock due to an early morning wreck. 2765 02:34:27.319 --> 02:34:30.479 There's an accident North Pound seventy one and Fifer Chuck 2766 02:34:30.680 --> 02:34:33.319 Ingraman fifty five Kira see the talk station. 2767 02:34:35.600 --> 02:34:38.520 A forty eight fifty five Krcddarks station One more time 2768 02:34:38.680 --> 02:34:41.639 with I heard mediavas expert Jay Ratliffe, And what's the 2769 02:34:41.680 --> 02:34:45.000 story in the two planes that flew into each other? Jay? 2770 02:34:45.079 --> 02:34:47.920 You know, anytime we have a general aviation accident, now 2771 02:34:47.959 --> 02:34:53.000 it's gonna make frontline, Yeah, headlines. It normally doesn't. So sadly, 2772 02:34:53.079 --> 02:34:55.799 we might have eight or ten people every week that 2773 02:34:55.920 --> 02:34:58.920 die in general aviation accidents. So when we had these 2774 02:34:58.959 --> 02:35:03.079 two planes collide in outside of Tucson now about twenty 2775 02:35:03.079 --> 02:35:06.479 five miles outside of Tucson at a regional airport, it 2776 02:35:06.600 --> 02:35:10.479 just raises everybody's concern overflying. But one of them was 2777 02:35:10.479 --> 02:35:12.920 Assessena and those that have flown in Assessina knows the 2778 02:35:12.959 --> 02:35:16.600 wings over your head, the blind spot is above you. 2779 02:35:17.120 --> 02:35:20.159 And the other airplane involved was an aircraft that was 2780 02:35:20.200 --> 02:35:22.200 a low wing, the kind you step onto the wing 2781 02:35:22.239 --> 02:35:25.120 and then jump in to the end of the interior 2782 02:35:25.120 --> 02:35:28.479 of the airplane where the blind spot is underneath. And Brian, 2783 02:35:28.520 --> 02:35:30.280 we had a situation here in Cincinnati a number of 2784 02:35:30.360 --> 02:35:32.200 years ago and We've had them around the country where 2785 02:35:32.280 --> 02:35:35.760 you have this type of scenario where the cessana can't 2786 02:35:35.760 --> 02:35:38.360 see above it and the other airplane can't see below it, 2787 02:35:38.799 --> 02:35:42.600 and there's times that they occupy the same airspace collide 2788 02:35:42.600 --> 02:35:47.040 and sometimes fatalities occur, and I suspect that's what probably 2789 02:35:47.079 --> 02:35:49.600 happened here. They do not have an air traffic control 2790 02:35:49.639 --> 02:35:54.399 tower at this Minera Regional Airport. They've been approved for one, 2791 02:35:54.479 --> 02:35:57.280 but they're five years behind. COVID really set them back. 2792 02:35:57.959 --> 02:36:01.239 So you had pilots that were in essence talking to 2793 02:36:01.319 --> 02:36:04.719 everyone as they were doing what they were doing. And 2794 02:36:04.760 --> 02:36:07.040 you know, again, we just had two airplanes that were 2795 02:36:07.360 --> 02:36:09.319 in the wrong position here, at least one of them, 2796 02:36:09.399 --> 02:36:12.760 and you know, the ntsb'll find out why. But remember, 2797 02:36:12.760 --> 02:36:15.719 we'll have four or five, maybe six hundred fatalities every 2798 02:36:15.799 --> 02:36:19.319 year on general aviation. So in the sixteen years we 2799 02:36:19.360 --> 02:36:21.879 went without an accident here in the United States, commercially, 2800 02:36:22.280 --> 02:36:25.120 there were probably seven to eight nine thousand fatalities on 2801 02:36:25.159 --> 02:36:29.280 general aviation. So wow, it's a norm. So I'm just 2802 02:36:29.319 --> 02:36:31.600 trying to keep things in proper perspective so people don't 2803 02:36:31.639 --> 02:36:33.760 think we're having more planes. Swallow of this guy now 2804 02:36:33.760 --> 02:36:36.319 than we've ever had, because that simply wouldn't be an 2805 02:36:36.319 --> 02:36:37.000 accurate statement. 2806 02:36:37.239 --> 02:36:40.200 Well, my dad had a pilot's license. He hadn't flown 2807 02:36:40.280 --> 02:36:42.719 since I think before I was since I was before 2808 02:36:42.760 --> 02:36:45.479 I was born, But he knew aviation and he knew 2809 02:36:45.600 --> 02:36:48.040 the concepts and everything. Anyway, when they were in Alaska 2810 02:36:48.120 --> 02:36:51.239 and doing one of those you know, flyover Alaska airplane 2811 02:36:51.319 --> 02:36:55.639 kind of deals, and he called the pilot's attention to 2812 02:36:55.920 --> 02:36:59.559 a very close aircraft, you know, said two o'clock, two o'clock, 2813 02:36:59.639 --> 02:37:03.879 and maybe avoided a collision because they're just flying around 2814 02:37:03.920 --> 02:37:06.000 doing sight seeing. Well, I think it was only a 2815 02:37:06.000 --> 02:37:07.719 couple weeks later in the news, and it's the reason 2816 02:37:07.760 --> 02:37:09.879 he brought the story up. Two of them flew into 2817 02:37:09.920 --> 02:37:10.799 each other up there. 2818 02:37:11.200 --> 02:37:15.200 Yeah, Yep, it happens, and it's happening less now because 2819 02:37:15.200 --> 02:37:19.840 we have technology that continues to improve and a lot 2820 02:37:19.879 --> 02:37:23.600 more of a situational awareness on the training side. But sadly, 2821 02:37:23.799 --> 02:37:27.040 you have a lot of people that are pilots that 2822 02:37:27.120 --> 02:37:29.559 are trying to increase the number of their flight hours 2823 02:37:29.639 --> 02:37:32.440 so they can qualify to become commercial pilots. They're flying 2824 02:37:32.479 --> 02:37:36.879 some of these smaller tour type airplanes and they don't 2825 02:37:36.879 --> 02:37:38.840 have quite the experience that we would like him to have, 2826 02:37:38.959 --> 02:37:41.239 and sadly, sometimes mistakes take place. 2827 02:37:41.680 --> 02:37:45.920 All right, moving over to breaking wheelchairs, this is a thing. 2828 02:37:47.200 --> 02:37:50.280 Well, airlines have made it a thing because over the 2829 02:37:50.360 --> 02:37:55.079 last several years they have broken, loss, delayed all kinds 2830 02:37:55.079 --> 02:37:58.120 of wheelchairs to the point that the Biden administration, lasts 2831 02:37:58.159 --> 02:38:02.000 fall through the Department of Trainransportation came out with a 2832 02:38:02.600 --> 02:38:05.920 ruling that said, look, airlines are responsible for the handling 2833 02:38:05.920 --> 02:38:08.799 of wheelchairs and disabled passengers because Brian, when you have 2834 02:38:08.840 --> 02:38:12.319 a situation where someone is unable to walk, they have 2835 02:38:12.360 --> 02:38:14.479 to be carried on and off the aircraft, and the 2836 02:38:14.520 --> 02:38:17.799 airline doesn't have an aisle chair, the smaller, narrow the 2837 02:38:17.840 --> 02:38:20.879 thing you put a person on, getting them off their 2838 02:38:20.920 --> 02:38:23.200 wheelchair in the jet bridge and then taking back to 2839 02:38:23.600 --> 02:38:27.200 road ten or something. Some airlines don't have those at 2840 02:38:27.200 --> 02:38:29.280 the gate like they're supposed to, even though they have 2841 02:38:29.319 --> 02:38:32.479 advanced warning, and some passengers have been forced to crawl 2842 02:38:33.559 --> 02:38:35.680 out of the airplane so they can be then placed 2843 02:38:35.719 --> 02:38:40.040 into their wheelchair. So the Biden Administration, to their credit, said, look, 2844 02:38:40.399 --> 02:38:43.319 when this type of thing's happened, it's an automatic violation 2845 02:38:43.399 --> 02:38:46.719 of the Federal Air Carrier Access Act, which makes perfect sense. 2846 02:38:47.159 --> 02:38:49.680 So the airlines were held to a higher standard. Well, 2847 02:38:50.000 --> 02:38:52.280 now that we have a different administration, and now that 2848 02:38:52.319 --> 02:38:54.920 they've already had a victory in court over the fee 2849 02:38:54.959 --> 02:39:00.879 disclosures on reservations the airlines, for the lobbying group for 2850 02:39:00.920 --> 02:39:04.319 the airlines or back in court representing five airlines who 2851 02:39:04.360 --> 02:39:08.200 are challenging this thing. It's not exactly fair for us 2852 02:39:08.280 --> 02:39:11.479 to have this kind of thing imposed on us, and 2853 02:39:11.520 --> 02:39:13.879 they're looking for it to be thrown out the window. 2854 02:39:14.360 --> 02:39:17.360 Now I suspect, and I really want to be wrong here, 2855 02:39:17.559 --> 02:39:19.559 they're going to get their way and it's going to 2856 02:39:19.600 --> 02:39:25.520 disappear because this is a very friendly airline friendly administration, 2857 02:39:25.879 --> 02:39:29.200 as every other administration has been before. Other than for 2858 02:39:29.239 --> 02:39:32.000 whatever the reason, the bid administration went after airlines unlike 2859 02:39:32.040 --> 02:39:34.559 any that I've ever seen. In the last two years, 2860 02:39:34.799 --> 02:39:37.520 airlines have been held accountable in ways that I love 2861 02:39:37.680 --> 02:39:40.799 because finally they're being held to standards, not from a 2862 02:39:40.799 --> 02:39:44.879 safety standpoint, but from a customer service standpoint, being forced 2863 02:39:44.920 --> 02:39:47.959 to provide better service. So I'll keep an eye on 2864 02:39:47.959 --> 02:39:50.280 this one and I'll let you know.
