WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.000 Five o five. If you about k r C DE 2 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.279 talk station Fridays. 3 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:23.760 Will. 4 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.240 Why is everyone so stupid? Yeah? I wish you could 5 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.200 play the whole quote on that one. Good morning, Brian 6 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:38.759 Thomas right here. Glad to be glad to see Dr 7 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.079 Strecker in the production booth, Rey Blogs, and glad to 8 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.439 see Congressman Warren Davidson is going to join the program 9 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.359 this morning. I always enjoy having Congressman Davidson on the show. 10 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.880 Seven oh five. For the Congressman, we'll talk about the 11 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.640 Trump Recisions Package vote. We will talk about giving more 12 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.719 weapons to Ukraine. Any possibility that's going to do any good? 13 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.399 Some say, most say no, absolutely not. Did he sign 14 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.480 under the Massy Epstein bill. Talked to Congress from Massy 15 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.040 yesterday about that a bill to just well, let everybody 16 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.959 have the Epstein documents. Why not Donald Trump screaming and 17 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.159 yelling about it, seeing everybody's falling for some sort of 18 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.959 conspiracy on the heels of many Republicans for years, claiming 19 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.439 that there was a whole bunch going on behind the 20 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.120 scenes and that we need to find out about it. 21 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.079 I don't think it bothered, hurts anything to let us 22 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.599 have the documents and move on with our lives. And 23 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.560 Congress from Massy's bill protects the child pornography from going 24 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.319 out any of the sensitive information. There's exceptions to what 25 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.319 needs to be produced in there. Anyway, I made a 26 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.439 sound argument for you yesterday at least I thought you 27 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.640 can pull the podcast up at fifty five cares dot 28 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.719 com if you didn't have an opportunity to listen to 29 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.640 Congressman Thomas Massey yesterday live. 30 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:46.120 Uh. 31 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.159 One of my favorite folks, Steve Gooden from Porter Wright, 32 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.359 our legal expert. We will talk to Steve, not just 33 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.560 about him running from Cincinnai City councilor to the Charter Committee, 34 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.040 which he is. And I think you'd be a great 35 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.719 opportunity for the city in the Cincinnati moving a different direction, 36 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.159 a better direction. Vote Steve Gooden. But on the legal 37 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.360 discussions we'll have with Steve. If it's proven Biden's people 38 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.759 use the auto pen, and of course using the auto 39 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.520 pen without the express approval of and behest of President 40 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.240 Biden at the time, are his pardons and executive orders 41 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.080 null and void? And I raise that specter in the 42 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.199 context of how do you get it before the court. 43 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.080 And it seems that at least from my perspective right now. 44 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.439 There could be other legal challenges out there in the 45 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.080 world that I'm not aware of, But from a theoretical standpoint, 46 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.120 I thought Senator ran Paul had the best opportunity to 47 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.759 do it by going after and trying to prosecute Anthony Fauci, 48 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.479 who was given a preemptory pardon. Doctor Fauci is exempting 49 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.199 free from all liability and connection with his work and 50 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.199 his role in the Biden administration goes back years all 51 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.400 swirrels around gain of function research, and Senator ran Paul 52 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.439 seems to have him dead to rights on his claimed 53 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.479 that Fauci lied to Congress. You've got emails saying Wuhan 54 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.599 Institute of Rology was doing gain of function research, an 55 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.680 email from doctor Fauci prior to several years prior to 56 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.400 him testifying, and he goes in front of the committee 57 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.039 and he testifies that no, there was no gain of 58 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.360 function research being done at the will On Instudi of Rology. 59 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.080 I mean, obviously, poll are opposite statements from the same 60 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.719 guy entered Joe Biden's pardon or was it Joe Biden's 61 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.759 pardon which doctor Fauci of course will wave around in 62 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.479 any effort to prosecute him. I'm free from prosecution. I've 63 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.039 been given a preemptory pardon by the Biden administration. You 64 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.000 can't go after me. At which time Senator Paul can 65 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.080 say no, that pardon is null and void. That presents 66 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.680 the legal argument before a court. An evidentiary issue becomes 67 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.680 important in that particular case, So one opportunity to get 68 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.400 in front of a court. I don't know how a 69 00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:01.960 court would rule. This is completely uncharted waters, and as 70 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.960 far as the evidence concerned, it's going to be difficult 71 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.080 to show one way or another. Joe Biden could pop 72 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.840 his head up and say, I specifically approve that I 73 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.439 told them that. While that was not documented elsewhere in 74 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.919 the emails or other communications, it would be Joe Biden's 75 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.759 word against anybody else's. But the other people to whom 76 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.120 he communicated the approval for the use of the autopen 77 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.720 they'd have to testify as well. Did they get that 78 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.199 specific instruction? Did Joe Biden specifically know that doctor Fauci 79 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.759 was getting a peremptory pardon? Did he order that peremptory 80 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.279 pardon to be signed by Autopen? Right now, all we 81 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.240 have our questions swirling about, which is why you need 82 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.839 the evidence. So it's going to be interesting. Steve good 83 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.600 will elaborate on that much better than I can. I'm 84 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.519 sure Jay Ratliff. It is Thursday, Jay Ratliffe. Passenger punches 85 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:55.639 United gate agent, knocking the gate agent unconscious. Delta Airline 86 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.439 lands the plane using artificial intelligence to establish more of 87 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.600 its ticket price I Delta Airlines plans on using AI 88 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.720 to establish more of its ticket prices for the purpose 89 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.959 of maximizing profits. Of course, the initial Air India crash 90 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.879 report is out, and it raises even more questions. An 91 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.160 interesting op ed on that by Homan Jenkins Junior in 92 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:21.319 The Wall Street Journal, which dovetails interestingly to the artificial 93 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.319 intelligence use, but also an ongoing discussion we've had with 94 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.720 Jay Ratliff over the years, do we need pilotless airplanes? 95 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.319 And a rather disturbing account of quite a few of 96 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.199 the air disasters that have happened by Homan Jenkins. Now 97 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.639 he points out, in so far as the initial investigation, 98 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.160 the initial report on the Air India crash contains no 99 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:53.000 detailed timeline of actions, no verbatim cockpit transcript. Rather, they 100 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.560 did release information that the fuel supply switches for the 101 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.279 planes to engines were manu turned off about one second apart, 102 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.079 and of course seconds after the plane left the runway. 103 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.399 And in the Wall Street Journal they have a separate 104 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.680 article showing how these switches work. I mean, you have 105 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.120 to pull them out and push them down, so there's 106 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.959 there's several little actions you have to take to get 107 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.800 these switches to go into the off position. You just 108 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.279 can't bump into them, and I'm glad they're designed that way. 109 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.800 So they were turned off one second apart, and without 110 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.959 identifying who was speaking to whom in the cockpit, the 111 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.040 report says, the voice recording one of the pilots is 112 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:42.160 heard asking the other why did he cut off the 113 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.360 fuel supply switches. The other pilot responded that he did 114 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:55.040 not cut off the fuel supply switches, and Holman's upines rights, 115 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.600 it's impossible wherever the Indian investigators weren't aware of the 116 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.079 certain history here. And this is where the disturbing stuff 117 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.160 comes in, making me not want to fly even more 118 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.839 than I don't want to fly anyway. It's been twenty 119 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.720 five years since the Egyptian government rejected a US finding 120 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.040 that the crash of Egypt Are in ninety ninety off 121 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:18.199 a long Island was deliberate by its pilot, described as 122 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.399 an active mass murder that killed two hudred and seventeen people. 123 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.319 Aviation expert William Langwishing later wrote on that one the 124 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.399 feeling in Egypt was that all Arabs runner attack. In 125 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.120 other words, we don't want to say that it was 126 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.160 intentional conduct on the part of the pilot, even though 127 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.800 we kind of know it was, because we don't want 128 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:43.120 the microscope of global opinion to focus on some crazy 129 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:49.720 cockpit Arab guy. Likewise, he writes, Indonesia issued no finding 130 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.399 about a nineteen ninety nine silk Are seven thirty seven 131 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:57.560 crash that the US National Transportation Safety Board called pilot suicide. 132 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.079 China Eastern Flight fifty seven thirty five no finding by 133 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.360 the Chinese government, despite leaked evidence showing the twenty twenty 134 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.279 two crash was intentional. The notorious disappearance of MH three 135 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:17.240 seventy and twenty fourteen no conclusion from the Malaysian government 136 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.480 in a report left out that left out evidence that 137 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:24.000 the pilot had practiced on his home computer, departing from 138 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.480 the flight plan in nearly identical fashion. Exhausting his fuel 139 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.519 and crashing into the sea. Well, it's a little tasty 140 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.320 piece of evidence you might expect to be in the 141 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:41.960 final report, is it? I just reading those in a row, 142 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.320 you go to these crazy people that are intentionally they're 143 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.039 committing suicide and murder at the same time. By contrast, 144 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.840 French and German authorities concluded very quickly that the twenty 145 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.720 fifteen crash of German Wings flight ninety five twenty five 146 00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.559 was a deliberate act by its first officer. That's regarding 147 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:09.200 Air France four forty seven, A three thirty smashed into 148 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.639 the South Atlantic at high speed in two thousand and nine. 149 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.759 The crew blame for that one. Likewise, US and French 150 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.039 investigators in the separate reports in twenty twenty two took 151 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:24.399 lead investigator Ethiopia a task for pretending away the critical 152 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.960 role of pilot error in the twenty nineteen crash of 153 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:32.559 Ethiopian Airlines Boeing seven thirty seven. Max. Now, reading those 154 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.159 all in a row, and I know they happened over 155 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.759 a period of decades, does it kind of give you 156 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:45.840 some concern? Live in a world filled with folks that 157 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.200 have mental health problems. I don't want my pilot to 158 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:53.159 be one of those folks. But that's when he pivots 159 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:59.399 over to maybe some solutions for this. If our investigators 160 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.799 are trying to protect their flags and their country and 161 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.279 from people analyzing it through the lens of race or something, 162 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:06.840 we're not going to get the truth of the facts 163 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.840 on this. So Holand's asked what sort of rhetorically, I guess, 164 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.200 does it even make sense to keep trying and eventually 165 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.720 failing to place two highly skilled pilots in the cockpit 166 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.919 when the job consists of letting the plane fly itself 167 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:26.080 while they're expensively acquired to maintain skills simply atrophy. And 168 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.000 why is the potential for active control from the ground 169 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.559 not being pursued, as well as the full advantages of 170 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.919 satellite based navigation and continuous data transfer to make it impossible. 171 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.320 Mysteries like the Malaysian Airlines disappearance, remember the Malaysia flight. 172 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.840 They didn't even know where in the hell it crashed 173 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.320 into the ocean. They couldn't find it. There was no 174 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.240 radar or there was no connectivity over the swath of 175 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.360 ocean where that plane disappeared. And that always struck me 176 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.639 as odd in a day of modern technology like this, 177 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.200 you'd think that these planes would be tracked twenty four 178 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.360 to seven every moment that they're in the air. It's 179 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:04.399 legitimate question to ask many points that should should. It 180 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.200 seem strange that the driverless car will likely be commonplace 181 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.000 before the public is invited to the necessary conversation about 182 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.519 the pilotless airliner. Never mind that vehicles on the ground 183 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.919 deal with dense traffic second by second, radical changes in 184 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.000 direction and speed, and infinitely more opportunities for a collision. 185 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:28.159 Those are all very valid points, But also, autobiles don't 186 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.879 hold two hundred three hundred plus people at the same time. 187 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.720 They're not going hundreds of miles an hour. At least 188 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.240 they shouldn't be. Airbus and Boeing have been done by 189 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.799 aviation fans for LED's lack of technological verve in producing 190 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.600 replacements for the seven, thirty seventh and A three twenties. 191 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.799 Yet he writes silence reigns of the most important question 192 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.080 whether the next generation jet should continue to be designed 193 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:58.919 around a pilot and a pilot's snail like information absorption. 194 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.360 Did the air crash Airfrance and Ethiopian crashes perfectly airworthy 195 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.360 planes destroyed after minor indicator failures forced apparently befuddled pilots 196 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.080 to take over flying by hand. It says perhaps an 197 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.919 AI voice might have explained to each the readings that 198 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.600 they were badly misinterpreting, might have an unciated a simple 199 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.919 airmanship solution, largely consistent instruction, instructing the pilots to stop 200 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.679 doing the wrong thing. You think about the that seven 201 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.279 thirty seven Max crash where they changed the software. It 202 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.960 didn't bother explaining to pilots how to react to the plane. 203 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.919 When this software kicked in, the pilots ad the exact 204 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.399 opposite of what they were supposed to do under those circumstances, 205 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.240 and we lost two jets full of people. Artificial intelligence 206 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:49.279 it's everywhere these days. Is that an option? Could we 207 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.720 not have artificial intelligence screening at the pilots to do 208 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.919 what they're supposed to do when the software shows that 209 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.279 something is going wrong. That sounds like a reasonable solution. 210 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.679 So anyway, food for thought on that one. I am, 211 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.799 and I'm in agreement with Jay Ratlers prior conclusions that 212 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:15.879 a pilotless airplane does not sound comfortable, at least in 213 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.679 so far you know, psychologically speaking. Are computers better can 214 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.600 they do the job better than humans who are obviously 215 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:28.120 prone to not just error, but to becoming to turning 216 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:32.000 batcrap insane and desirous of killing themselves and other people 217 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.480 because of some psychological problem they got going on in 218 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:39.240 the world. Maybe it's something to learn from all this. 219 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.000 Five eighteen fifty five KRCIT Talk station five one three, seven, 220 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.159 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two 221 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:47.639 three talk fown five fifty on eighteen and tif Oh look, 222 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.480 peycor Stadium. It's gonna cost you a whole lot more 223 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.399 than you really expected to get to that in a minute. 224 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:53.960 Don't go away. 225 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.960 This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station. 226 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.000 Used to the humidity. I guess just shio five twenty 227 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.639 three on a Friday, A happy one too. Four hundred 228 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.679 and seventy million dollar renovation plan. That's right. Hamilton County's 229 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:19.000 contribution for the pay Corpse Stadium capped at three hundred 230 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.440 and fifty million dollars. Dan Monk covered WCPO and the 231 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.320 CPO team crunched the numbers on this and they're reporting 232 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.480 that well, well, hold on, it could end up costing 233 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.720 the county. Hamilton County w the Hamilton County taxpayer more 234 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:39.559 than one point one billion over twenty one years for 235 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.480 a stadium. The proposed new lease that was released calls 236 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.000 for the county to pay up to one hundred thirty 237 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:51.159 and thirty four million for the capital repairs. And then 238 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.879 here where the fun part comes in. Because we don't 239 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.600 have the money laying around in a pile, the county's going 240 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.799 to issue bonds to pay for its three hundred and 241 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:03.000 fifty million dollar contribution. Bonds mean interest payments. Interest payments 242 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.200 mean you're gonna pay a lot more than the borrowed money. Right, Uh, Thomas, 243 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:12.120 you'r mann'splaining, And according to wcpo's number crunchers, that's a 244 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.120 two hundred and ten million dollars in new interest expense 245 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:21.480 over fifteen years, bringing that total to five hundred and 246 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:27.879 sixty million dollars. Finally, they kind of reversed an earlier stance, 247 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:32.159 agreeing now to cover stadium operating expenses on the same 248 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:38.039 terms as the old terrible poorly negotiated one side of 249 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.960 the table wins the Bengals lease, which they say could 250 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:46.720 add up to four hundred and eighteen million additional dollars 251 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:54.399 for the Hamilton County taxpayers to pay Bengals in the NFL, 252 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.519 contributing one hundred and twenty million dollars toward the renovation 253 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.440 project and up to up to forty five million to 254 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.240 more rent if the deal ends up being extended for 255 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.240 twenty one years. But in the end, apparently the county 256 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.200 is going to be covering eighty seven percent of total 257 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:14.840 expenses the team covering thirteen CPO interviewed Joe Cobbs, professor 258 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.559 and chair at Sports Business Program at North Kentucky University, 259 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.759 who also reviewed their analysis at their request. He said, 260 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.039 I'm not in the negotiation. One of the challenges in 261 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.080 the county side is it doesn't seem like they're willing 262 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.399 to risk losing the Bengals and any negotiation. If you're 263 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.159 not willing to walk away from it, Dan, you have 264 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.840 pretty limited power, which I guess is why we collectively 265 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.240 are going to end up on the hook for about 266 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:47.320 one point one billion dollars. Is it worth it? You 267 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.200 probably know where I come down on that piece of 268 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.679 It's that discussion, local stories coming up. Alternatively, love hear 269 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.559 from you. If you feel like Colin, feel free to 270 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.519 do so.

Showers are likely, most likely around 274 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.079 one pm. Flood watch kicks in at two pian. It's 275 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.319 pretty broad reaching flood watch as well. Today's high eighty 276 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.519 six feeling more like low nineties, overnight clouds, isolated, chance 277 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.599 of storms.

Tomorrow it'll 279 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.079 be showers and storms likely and of course very muggy 280 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.400 and hot. Of course, mostly cloudy overnight seventy one to 281 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.759 low with chance of showers and storms, and then again 282 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.720 very humid on Saturday with the chance of showers and storms. 283 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.400 Eighty three The high end right now seventy seven degree 284 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:46.400 fifty five. Karsine talk Station five one three seven eight 285 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.279 hundred two three. It's all for you. Get the local stories. 286 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.640 Oh look back to normal, Tom, Welcome to the morning show. 287 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.240 Yeah. 288 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.880 I almost feel like I should apologize when I missed 289 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.759 the day. I mean, the guy at worked yesterday, Like, 290 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.119 where the hell were you? This small like, what do 291 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.559 you mean, Well, you know, I do have a life. 292 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.799 Other than calling in appreciate that. 293 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:15.400 Anyway, Good morning, Jimmy, I'll see you a little bit. Yeah, yeah, anyway, 294 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.160 I wanted to talk about this whole uh fear mongering 295 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.880 on the left about brown people and how they should 296 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.480 all be afraid and Trump's coming after you and Iace 297 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.920 is coming after you and all that garbage, and it's 298 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.319 exactly what it is. It's garbage. It's just a little 299 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:39.000 left trying to make something out of nothing. And you know, 300 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.880 you're it's like it's like if you're driving down the road, 301 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.640 if you're doing the speed limit, you got nothing to 302 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.200 worry about it. If you see a cop, you don't 303 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.119 got to slam on your bracelet, do ormy doing the 304 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.319 speed limit, you're fine. 305 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:49.920 You know. 306 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.319 If you're in the country legally, you're documented or your 307 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.759 natural citizen or whatever, then you got nothing to worry about. 308 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.079 If they come and ask you and check you. Hey, 309 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.599 you know understand what they're trying to clean up a mess. 310 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:05.160 You know, it's the way it is. You know, we 311 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:08.839 all get caught up, even even if even if white 312 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.279 males get caught up in some crap every once in 313 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.039 a while where we got it like, all right, here's 314 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.680 my ide, here's who I am, and uh you know, 315 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.680 this is why I'm here. Everything's okay, you know. Yeah, 316 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.000 uh so that's fine. You know, you you're faithful that 317 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.920 the uh the the powers that be or are are 318 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.400 trying to be diligent about who's in the country or 319 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.799 you know, who's it. Well, maybe you're working in a 320 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.279 security secured building or something. Wouldn't you want security to 321 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.599 check and make sure that the only people are supposed 322 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:39.799 to be there or there? I mean, it's it's just 323 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.440 common sense. This fear monitoring is just it's ridiculous. It's 324 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.240 a total waste of silence. And it's all coming from 325 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.400 the left. So don't vote Democrat. 326 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.640 A gay appreciate it, Tom, And is it? Is it 327 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.000 brown people specifically that they're they're they're they're claiming or 328 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.839 being targeted. The last time I heard, there were you know, 329 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:01.759 ten to twenty million people that came across the previously 330 00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:04.960 open border into the Bide administration. Two million known godaways. 331 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.480 I don't think they've ever been identified by ethnicity, and 332 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:14.039 I know that well. I don't believe traditionally Chinese people 333 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.839 are not considered brown people. And we do know the 334 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.960 twenty to thirty thousand million military age Chinese men came 335 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.559 across the southern border. I don't believe they fall into 336 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.559 that category. And of course I am certain that there 337 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.519 are illegal immigrants who across the border who have a 338 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:35.400 white colored skin, and maybe some Ukrainians struck over the border. 339 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:39.400 I think Russians predominantly, although not exclusively. You can't pay 340 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.200 with a broad wash when it comes to a country's 341 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.319 you know, the view, the visual look of any given 342 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.839 human being in any given country. Since we have a well, 343 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.799 and particularly here in the United States, sort of a 344 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.000 melting pot reality going on. We have people of all 345 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.240 shapes and colors and stripes and religions and ethnicities and everything. 346 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.880 So I believe it a bit racist to suggest that 347 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.200 our ice officials are only going after people of color. Now, 348 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.240 they're going after people who are here illegally, most notably 349 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.200 the ones that have committed crimes here illegally, regardless of 350 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:15.759 the color of their skin. Just frustrating, very frustrating. Anyway, 351 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.880 crazy story here locally, getting the local stories. A road 352 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.279 rage incident turned into a lot more Clima County Sheriff's 353 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.839 Office reporting that a man decided to follow the other 354 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.680 driver in this road range incident to her home. Thirty 355 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.000 year old Seth Schloter at a Wayne township, now facing 356 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.400 numerous charges. His first encounter with the victim July eleventh 357 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.039 on State Route seven to twenty seven near Stonewak Park. 358 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:48.759 Dam Witnesses said he stopped his vehicle, which his children 359 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.799 were in, which is another weird layer on this on 360 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.079 the road, and a woman honked her vehicle's horn and 361 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.119 drove around him. Right, No big deal, just walk away, right. 362 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.799 Joe Schluder, though, followed the woman to her home on 363 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.039 Lair Road, confronted a man at the home on the 364 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.519 front porch while his fearful wife ran behind the house. 365 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.480 I guess the man confronted was the husband trying to 366 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.279 de escalate the situation with this crazy guy.

Sleep. Really, 486 00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:37.759 it's just so puzzling to me to just like to 487 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.720 every day go through this decond stupid and realize the 488 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.559 epics stupidity of people and their refusal to just let go. 489 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.400 You broke up, it's over. Walk away, forget about them, 490 00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:52.880 don't go visit them, don't go driving around their street, 491 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.920 don't pull up in their driveway, don't put bleach in 492 00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:58.680 their food and and their cosmetics. God Almighty, how difficult 493 00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:02.880 a concept. Yes, walk the hell away. You got the 494 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:05.000 rest of your life ahead of you. You're gonna dwell 495 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.960 in the past on what is over and done with? Boohoo? 496 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:12.039 Well is me? The world's an imperfect place. Relationships sometimes 497 00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:17.599 don't work out. God Almighty. Sorry, had to get that 498 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:19.240 out of my system. Don't know why I put me 499 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:22.519 over the edge of this morning. But it's always always 500 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.000 baffling to me, something not baffling, something always that I 501 00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.079 embraced saving money. And actually, when you save heap loads 502 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.559 of money and I'm gonna tell you how you can 503 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.759 do that, it puts a big smile on my face. 504 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:39.359 I like saving thousands of dollars if you got two 505 00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.480 things in front of you. They're exactly the same, except 506 00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:46.440 one just looks prettier than the other. But they perform 507 00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:49.799 the same function, they provide the same result. One costs 508 00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.079 you four thousand dollars more than the other one, and 509 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.279 you gotta get it done. I'm talking about imaging, echo, cardigram, MRI, 510 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:59.599 ST scan, ultrasound. We all have to get them. It's 511 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.599 been through Affordable Imaging Services images a whole bunch of times. 512 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:04.480 They always are fine. My doctor has never had a 513 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.000 problem with them. It's the same equipment hospitals use. It 514 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.200 just costs a fraction of the hospital price is going 515 00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.160 to be like five grand for a CT scan five 516 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:16.039 thousand dollars. Now, how is it that Affordable Imaging Services 517 00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:18.839 can do the same thing without a contrast for four 518 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.160 hundred and fifty bucks six hundred dollars worth a contrast. 519 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.039 That price includes the board certified radiologist report, and yet 520 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.880 they still are a profitable company. That's a reflection of 521 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.240 how much money the hospital imaging departments are making on 522 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.200 your images. So don't do that.

Seattle judge ordered a popular beach 556 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:32.759 now closed because of public sex and nudity ongoing King 557 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.200 Kennedy Spirit Court Judge Samuel Chung gave the city Seattle 558 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:40.400 two weeks to handle the ongoing inappropriate behavior at Denny 559 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:46.799 Blaine Park, commonly known as a Newdiest Spot. It's been 560 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:50.119 that way for like fifty years and apparently according to 561 00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:57.160 the reporting Daily Mail, Martha Williams, popular among the LGBTQ community, 562 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.160 says it's not specificallysated by Seattle Parks and Recreation as 563 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.279 a clothing optional park, but apparently it's been dominated by 564 00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.880 clothing optional people. Residents in the area of the park 565 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:14.320 reported an escalation of what they describe as aggressive sexual 566 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:17.559 behaviors over the past several years, so they organized a 567 00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:20.679 group called Danny Blaine Park for All to try to 568 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:24.400 address the challenges of people engaging in lude behavior. So 569 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.960 part of the lawsuit that the group filed, they provided 570 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:31.480 video evidence of people pleasuring themselves openly in the park. 571 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:35.800 Dear what the hell? In an open letter of the 572 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.519 community detailing some of the troubling incidents, including a man 573 00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:43.000 exposing himself to a female neighbor while making sexually aggressive remarks. 574 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:47.079 And here's an interesting one, Joe maybe setting a record 575 00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:52.760 in the video showing another nude man pleasuring himself on 576 00:34:52.880 --> 00:35:02.480 the hood of his car for over six hours. How 577 00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:04.719 long is the penalty in NHL? Joe? And in like 578 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:09.719 three minutes or something like that the most it's five. 579 00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:13.800 My friends in the listening audience, to our fans of 580 00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:17.159 slapshot know exactly where I'm going with that one. Anyway. 581 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:20.400 Four of public masturbation incidents occurred in a single week 582 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.239 this March, according to the open letter of the community, 583 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.599 has been plagued my ongoing trespassing, indecent exposures, and what 584 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:29.519 they describe as menacing behavior. Judge ruled it sexual behavior 585 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:32.039 and nudity at the park constitutes a public nuisance. In 586 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.079 his preliminary injunction issued on Monday, spokesperson for the group 587 00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:38.400 the Eat Any Plane Park for All who said, at minimum, 588 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.079 we need the law upheld, giving us a give us 589 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:44.159 a city an opportunity for fourteen days to get a 590 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:46.599 plan together. So that's what the judge is asking for. 591 00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:52.079 These sexual misconducts, lout activity, masturbation, and public sex acts 592 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.679 need to stop. However the city wants to do that, 593 00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:59.000 that's up to them, they said. They said they brought 594 00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:03.440 the lawsuit out of exasperation. They apparently exhausted every possibility 595 00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:04.920 of trying to get the city to step in and 596 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:06.840 handle the issue. But it's not clear now how they're 597 00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:11.920 going to address the problem. Mayor Bruce Harrald, we recognize 598 00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.880 the historical significance of that park. I've also made it 599 00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.559 clear that some of the unacceptable behaviors, some of the 600 00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.239 lewd behaviors, there's no place for that in any park. 601 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.880 We'll see what the city attorney's office how they proceed. 602 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:30.639 Nudity considered generally speaking legal in Seattle, but according to 603 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:33.320 the judge, nudity must be addressed as part of the 604 00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:41.320 city's planning to combat nuisances at the park. Now there's 605 00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:43.800 an opposing group, of course, that is in favor of 606 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:49.039 I guess the nudity Denny Blaine Park for all. They 607 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:51.920 claim that the judge is rolling erroneously links harassment and 608 00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.639 other misconducts to the general nude usage of the park. 609 00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:04.760 In their statement is that an enormously overwhelming majority of 610 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.960 nude usage of the beach by thousands of satellites each year, 611 00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:11.840 is friendly, legal, and positive. Our aim is to ensure 612 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.880 the case and the city's response focuses solely on actual 613 00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:19.079 criminal activity, public masturbation, and sexual harassment, which cannot be 614 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:26.679 conflated with mere nudity. They also claim that non sexual 615 00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:32.119 nudity is protected free expression expression under the First Amendment. Well, 616 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.800 we'll let Judge Chung and the city work that one out. 617 00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:42.239 Six hours though six hours on the hood of his 618 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:49.719 car by fifty five five K see the talk station 619 00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:56.639 now not by SEPs strong by sept figures.

We'll talk about here more weapons to Ukraine? 633 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.480 Did he sign on to Congressman Davidson, to the Massy? 634 00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:44.639 Epstein released the documents bill that we talked about yesterday 635 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:48.760 with Congressman Massy and lower courts issuing universal injunctions. Few 636 00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:51.039 of the topics we'll talk about with Congressman Davidson again 637 00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.679 in one hour fast forward two hours eight oh five. 638 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.360 Love Steve Gooden with the Law Firm. Reporter right does 639 00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:59.400 great legal analysis here on the Morning Show, breaking things 640 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:04.119 down and easily understandable terms conditions. If it's proven Biden's 641 00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.320 people use the auto pen without his specific authority and authorization, 642 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.440 are his pardons and executive orders null and void. This 643 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:13.239 is a bridge that has not been crossed before, so 644 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:16.360 speculations to some degree on the part of Steve Gooden, 645 00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:18.840 and I will also talk about his run for Cincinny 646 00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:21.480 City Council as a charter right and I wish him 647 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.119 all the best in the world on that he would 648 00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:26.320 be a great councilman. He was in that role at 649 00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:29.199 one point, didn't get elected though after he was appointed, 650 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:33.199 but a demonstrably good man and smart man. Jay Ratliffe, 651 00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:36.039 iHeart media aviation expert, joining us to talk about a 652 00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:40.880 passenger punching a United Airlines gate agent knocking him unconscious 653 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.440 artificial intelligence. Delta Airline is going to be using it 654 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:48.039 to maximize profits. The initial India air crash report is 655 00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:51.199 out mentioned that in the last hour raising more questions 656 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.920 than providing answers and finally hub delays. Let just go 657 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:57.679 back to that Holman Jenkins Junior article about all the 658 00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:03.119 planes that have been intentionally crashed by crazy pilots, suicide 659 00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:06.840 and murder flights. Just when you read one after another, 660 00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:08.960 you kind of get well, it freaks me out. Anyway, 661 00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.320 a lot of control in the hands of a pilot. 662 00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:15.960 Question whether modern technology should be incorporated into modern aircraft 663 00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.719 that would allow perhaps remote control operation from the ground. 664 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.079 I like the idea of having sort of a universal 665 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.719 tracking system, so we know, and planes disappear, we don't 666 00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:28.000 know where they crashed, that we might have some understanding 667 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:32.599 of where they did disappear and where they crashed. Anyhow, 668 00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:40.480 let us see here Senate passed the you know, it's 669 00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:43.119 nine billion dollars. It's a drop in the water. I 670 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.880 don't understand whether this is such a big deal when 671 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:47.280 we're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars being spent 672 00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.599 by federal government. But the Senate did pass the plan 673 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.519 to cancel nine billion dollars in federal funding for foreign 674 00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:57.480 aid programs. In public media, this a lot of the 675 00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:02.480 Doge type of recommendations. Fifty one, forty eight vote to 676 00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:05.880 thirty this morning. They were up at two thirty this morning, 677 00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:08.639 and of course along party lines, and of course Republicans 678 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:12.119 Susan Collins and main Lisa Murkowski of Alaska jumping on 679 00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:14.519 board with the Democrats in opposition to the bill, which 680 00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.519 has almost become the norm these days. Now it's going 681 00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:20.039 over the House must pass by Friday or the executive 682 00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.360 branch is supposed to release the funding. So we got 683 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:27.519 a bit of a deadline there. Republican senators apparently defeated 684 00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.320 a bunch of revisions that the Democrats sought. Some Republicans 685 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:36.400 wanted to restore funding to cuts identified by Trump's Department 686 00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:41.079 of Government Efficiency Report. Effectively, the bill asked lawmakers to 687 00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:45.639 claw back funding previously doled out, including seven point nine 688 00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:50.400 billion dollars from foreign aid programs. And they've identified previously 689 00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:52.239 some of these foreign aid programs, and when you read them, 690 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.559 you're like, wait, we actually this money was actually approved previously. 691 00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:02.440 How could that possibly happen? Much like everything else DOGE 692 00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:04.719 is identified, Like wait a minute, we're paying for that. 693 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:07.320 It's almost as if you're put in a room and 694 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.559 you're asked to do a creative writing project and come 695 00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:12.039 up with the most batcrap insane program that you can 696 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.320 absolutely think of in your wildest imagination. And that's the 697 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:19.960 kind of programs we actually allocated money for. No It's 698 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.480 not going to be the end of the world when 699 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:23.559 this money does not go out into the world. Plan 700 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:25.920 also is going to rescind one point one billion dollars 701 00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:28.559 from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Oh my god, We're 702 00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:30.760 all going to die. How is it? The United States 703 00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:32.679 of America, with the First Amendment right and a free 704 00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:42.119 exercise right is funding media. Corporation of Public Broadcasting created 705 00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:48.360 under the Johnson administration back in nineteen sixty seven. Johnson 706 00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:50.079 had a statement issue at the time it was approved. 707 00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.480 It will get to part of its support from our government, 708 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:56.320 but it will be carefully guarded from government or from 709 00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.119 party control. It will be free, and it will be independent, 710 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:03.280 and it will be long to all of our people. Right. 711 00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:06.280 But the people that run public broadcasting as this quote 712 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:10.360 unquote seemingly independent agency free of government control, they know 713 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.039 where the money's coming from. They're peddling a big government 714 00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.079 narrative because they know they're Well, if we don't con 715 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.320 pedal the big government narrative where funding is going to 716 00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:21.920 get cut off. Look, the funding is being cut off, huh, 717 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:23.559 not going to harm them. They get most of the 718 00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:26.800 vast majority of their money from donations from corporations and 719 00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:33.280 you the people anyway you think the end of the 720 00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:36.480 world was coming. Of course, Republicans have long criticized MPRE 721 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:42.519 and PBS because of its liberal bias. Anyhow, Murkowski and Collins, 722 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:46.679 the ones that voted with the Democrats, couldn't salvage most 723 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:51.320 of the funding, although they tried it. An amendment they 724 00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.800 proposed which would reduce the cuts to the Corporation for 725 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:57.599 Public Broadcasting from one point billion down to eight point 726 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:02.159 three million, shot down forty seven to fifty one. Of course, 727 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.039 Murkowski Collins the only Republicans voting yes on that amendment. 728 00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:10.679 Senate majority of Leader John Thune said the Senate was 729 00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:12.480 doing it's part to cut Waiste out of the budget, 730 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:16.599 calling it a small but important step toward fiscal sanity. 731 00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:21.760 I'll agree with him. It's small, it's symbolic. At least, 732 00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:26.079 it's a cut, putting some flesh on the bones of 733 00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:28.519 how much this cut amounts to nine billion in cuts 734 00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:35.960 one tenth of one percent of the roughly seven trillion 735 00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.960 dollar federal budget annual federal budget, which seven trillion is 736 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.719 not enough. They always go into the hole and put 737 00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.840 us further in debt to cover the nut on all 738 00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:50.920 the additional spending they engage in, including spending that was 739 00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.320 cut yesterday by the Senate or will be cut if 740 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:58.840 the House passes it. Vast majority of that spending social Security, Medicare, 741 00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.519 and related health programs, as well as the trillion dollars 742 00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:08.360 interest on the growing debt that we hold now. They 743 00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:11.800 did reach an agreement earlier to save four hundred million 744 00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:16.400 dollars for funding for the pepfar HIV AIDS relief program 745 00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.519 and funding from Eternal Health. Malaria and tuberculosis also will 746 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:27.480 be explicitly protected by new language, according to people familiar 747 00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:31.480 with the verbiage and the language in the Senate proposal. 748 00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:41.000 So all this angst and concern over a mere nine 749 00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:55.000 billion dollars just unbelievable and kind of a related point 750 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:01.280 over the State Department where they're trying to cut the agency. 751 00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:03.199 After the Supreme Court gave the green light for the 752 00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:07.719 trub administration to cut jobs, State Department officials set out 753 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.400 to trim the agency what they call the biggest reorganization 754 00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:14.519 since the Cold War. It took them months to try 755 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.920 to figure out the total number of people that even 756 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:20.800 work in the State Department. One senior State Department official 757 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:24.000 speaking with reporters and a briefing, it took us three 758 00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.159 months to get a list of the people that actually 759 00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.400 work in the building. They couldn't tell you how many 760 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:34.719 people work there. Official said, it's sort of scary as 761 00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:36.559 a taxpayer, as a public servant to think that we 762 00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:39.280 don't even know how many employees we have. This is 763 00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:42.480 a national security agency, you know, who are these people? 764 00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:47.599 Great rhetorical question. Apparently we're going to trimp about three 765 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:49.880 thousand people from the State Department. Half already took a 766 00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.239 voluntary buy out, the other half given reduction enforced riff notices, 767 00:46:53.320 --> 00:47:02.480 meaning you're fired. The idea, official said, was to put 768 00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:07.360 a maximum of twelve clearances on any piece of paper, 769 00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.960 meaning documents would have to go through twelve layers approval 770 00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:15.480 instead of the ready forty to fifty layers that they 771 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:21.199 currently have to go through now. Departments apparently had dozens 772 00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:23.920 of different offices handling human resources, and when a new 773 00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:26.559 employee was hired, they were accepting fax records on their 774 00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:30.280 past work with other agencies. Official said, it's crazy that 775 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.159 an apartment that tasked with so many critical diplomatic national 776 00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.920 security functions with a fifty dollars a fifty billion dollar 777 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:45.760 plus budget is running its affairs this way. Official said. 778 00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.000 Some of these regional offices with this sort of functional 779 00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:54.599 Civil liberties, civil society, Bureaus of Democracy, human rights, labor, population, refugees, 780 00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:58.280 and migration each had their own regional offices. In addition 781 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:04.000 to the country desk regional bureau, every independent bureau and 782 00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:07.000 office had its own executive director, its own HR department, 783 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:09.280 its own payments. We were making payments out of like 784 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:18.000 sixty plus different offices. Apparently, the officials shuttered a diplomat's 785 00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:22.239 in resident program, determining it to be, in their words, 786 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:27.639 a cushy jobs or cushy job. Official said, State Department 787 00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:31.039 employees are getting paid to go hang out at Georgetown 788 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:33.719 and sort of recruit for the foreign Service without any 789 00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:44.480 sort of metrics or accountability. Unbelievable. Critics warning the cuts 790 00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.199 of the diplomatic cor could damage US presence globally and 791 00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:51.960 seed soft power to China. However, one official replied saying, hey, 792 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:58.800 a climate change office is not countering China. Amen, that 793 00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:01.679 office was not doing that was countering China or serving 794 00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:04.360 the national interest. China has overtaken the US and a 795 00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.320 number of those countries. So I would argue growth that 796 00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.360 the State Department has not coincided with growth of outcomes 797 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:17.880 for American taxpayers. Right Eric wants to know have they 798 00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:20.480 ever done a mandatory fire drill at that building? Don't 799 00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:23.880 you need a roster? I'm gonna go with no, and 800 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:27.599 you should, but apparently they didn't six sixteen. Right now, 801 00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:29.840 if you have k se detalk station, you want your 802 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:31.840 kitchen and model, you want to work with John Ryan. 803 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:34.719 John Ryan's company is pressed to Ginterias and you will 804 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:38.079 be working with John. He's a sweet guy, really easy 805 00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:41.440 to work with, very pleasant man, and brilliant ideas for 806 00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:45.199 your kitchen space. Small projects like simply getting rid of 807 00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:48.360 the old countertops and cabinets. He can do a smaller job, 808 00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:50.119 but you can also got the whole thing and start 809 00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:53.920 from scratch redesign your kitchen for better flow, function, design, storage. 810 00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:55.679 That's what he did for us. Love what he did 811 00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:58.159 for us. He's there with you from the initial design 812 00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:01.320 to final installation, your true partner in the kitchen modeling project. 813 00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:04.480 And he's been doing kitchens almost exclusively for like thirty 814 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.199 five years. So you work with John, He'll make sure 815 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.360 everything goes swimmingly for you. I can assure you that 816 00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:13.559 that will happen. Of course, he enjoys an A plus 817 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:15.480 with a better business brow. He's remember the National Kitchen 818 00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:18.000 Bath Association.

One of the topics 851 00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:59.480 talking about was Steve Gooden. Can the pardons and executors 852 00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:01.639 become null and void if it's determined bout Joe Biden 853 00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:04.679 didn't have any connection to him, good question to ask him. 854 00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:06.320 I'm looking forward to having Steve to talk about that 855 00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:08.880 coming up in the eight o'clock hour on the heels 856 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:14.280 of what happened just yesterday. Anthony Bernhal don't know if 857 00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:17.119 you know who that person is, described as Jill Biden's 858 00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:21.840 work husband. He was an aide to Jill Biden during 859 00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:26.079 the Biden administration. He refused to answer questions yesterday from 860 00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:28.480 how House lawmakers that are investigating the cover up of 861 00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:31.639 Biden's mental decline. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right to 862 00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:36.440 us avoid self incrimination. Number two in the long list 863 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:37.920 of people who are going to be doing this. Nothing 864 00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.920 to see here subpoena to appear in part of the 865 00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:45.960 House investigation into biden aides who covered up his mental 866 00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:50.159 decline and who also may have actually acted as the 867 00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:53.000 president he, along with Jill Biden, making decisions that the 868 00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:57.480 President was supposed to be making oversight. Government Reform Committee 869 00:52:57.519 --> 00:53:01.280 Chairman James Comer called it, well, unfortunately, that was quick. 870 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:04.559 This is the second witness that we brought in via 871 00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:07.800 subpoena for a deposition that has pleaded the Fifth and 872 00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:10.960 they've stated they're not going to answer any questions before 873 00:53:11.039 --> 00:53:13.599 the interview. Commerce told reporters the committee wanted to understand 874 00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:17.599 who authorized the use of the auto pen. They've been 875 00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:20.239 arguing that some pardons and executive order as signed by 876 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.039 the autopenans that of Biden could be void. Again. Steve 877 00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:25.800 Gooden on that topic later in the program, He said, 878 00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:28.000 we want to understand why it was used so many times? 879 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.159 Why was it used when Joe Biden was even in 880 00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:32.480 the White House. Did Joe Biden know who is using 881 00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:35.880 the auto pen? He asked good questions questions you can't 882 00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:38.199 get the answer to. When people assert their Fifth Amendment 883 00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:40.920 right to be free of self incrimination? How could an 884 00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:48.920 assistant to Jill Biden face criminal prosecution? Maybe we should 885 00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:53.280 ask Steve Gooden about that as well. What crime are 886 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.800 they fearful of? Is it a crime to not tell 887 00:53:57.840 --> 00:53:59.800 the American public that Joe Biden was in a mental 888 00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:07.320 taym Is it a crime? I guess it would be 889 00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:11.239 forgery to sign Joe Biden's name when Joe Biden didn't 890 00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:13.119 specifically approve it. I guess maybe that's what it would 891 00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:18.760 hinge on Comer asked him specifically, was mister Biden fit 892 00:54:18.800 --> 00:54:21.960 to exercise the duties of the president and did any 893 00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:28.760 unelected official or family member exercise the duties of the presidency, 894 00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:32.599 Commerce said, We're going to continue our investigation. I think 895 00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:34.800 the American people are concerned. They're concerned that there were 896 00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:38.519 people making decisions in the White House are not only unelected, 897 00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:40.920 but no one to this day knows who they were. 898 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:43.559 These are the puppet masters that you and I have 899 00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:45.800 been talking about now for years and years. Who are 900 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:49.519 the puppet masters? Who's the one actually deciding things? Clearly 901 00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:55.679 it wasn't Joe Biden. Representative Brian Byron Donald's Florida Republican 902 00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:57.480 in the room for the interview, said, the two witnesses 903 00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:00.559 hiding behind the Fifth Amendment, it's not just shocking, it's stunning, 904 00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.800 and it demonstrates the level of corruption that was going 905 00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:05.440 on in that administration. The chairman is being nice. I 906 00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:08.199 don't have to be this corruption at the highest level, 907 00:55:08.199 --> 00:55:11.159 because if you cannot say, answer a simple question about 908 00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:14.679 Joe Biden's capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was 909 00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.679 not in charge of his administration. Now, I know what 910 00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:20.119 the law says about that. You know, you can't assume 911 00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.079 or conclude that assertion of the Fifth Amendment is an 912 00:55:23.079 --> 00:55:26.000 admission that you did something wrong. But under these circumstances, 913 00:55:26.039 --> 00:55:29.159 most notably the doctor who asserted his Fifth Amendment right. 914 00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:33.480 They had what was that guy's name? Doctor Kevin O'Connor 915 00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:37.000 asked simple questions that seemed to implicate no one and 916 00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:39.480 seemed to be related to nothing that would involve criminal 917 00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:44.039 allegations of resulting against Doctor Kevin O'Connor still asserted his 918 00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:50.760 Fifth Amendment right questions unrelated to the physician patient relationship. 919 00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:53.360 I might point out because he hid behind that as well, 920 00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:56.599 I can't talk about that physician patient relationship, and argument 921 00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:59.000 that I would say is null and void because Joe 922 00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:02.840 Biden authorized the release of his medical records to the public. 923 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:05.159 Medical records which did not include any reference to a 924 00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:08.480 cognitive exam done by the aforementioned doctor. That was a 925 00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:13.199 suspicious absence. But since he gave us all the other 926 00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:16.599 informations blood pressures, fine, this is that's fine. How could 927 00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:21.960 he assert the physician patient relationship? No idea. But that 928 00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:25.480 was the corollary objection to answering the questions. One was 929 00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:32.119 fifth Amendment. When I asked how the investigation has got 930 00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:34.679 to proceed if the witnesses continue invoking their Fifth Amendment right, 931 00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.159 comer said that there were other options on the table 932 00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:39.960 didn't elaborate on what those options might be. One of 933 00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:44.920 them would be to give them immunity from prosecution. Ah, 934 00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:47.719 because if you give them immunity from prosecution, they cannot 935 00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:51.320 assert their Fifth Amendment right to be free well of 936 00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.599 incriminating themselves. Sorry, sucks to be you. You're not in charge. 937 00:56:54.679 --> 00:56:57.639 You're not in jeopardy of getting charged with anything. See 938 00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:00.159 this document. You're immune, So open up your mouth and 939 00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:03.559 answer the damn questions. I'd be willing to go down 940 00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:09.960 that road.

Good to hear from you. 1017 01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:24.920 They wanted to comment on your your comments about the 1018 01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:27.440 State Department, and they don't have any idea how many 1019 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:28.119 people are there. 1020 01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:29.480 Can you believe care that? 1021 01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:30.440 Yeah? 1022 01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:31.719 I can, I absolutely can. 1023 01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:32.400 And here's why. 1024 01:01:33.199 --> 01:01:36.480 In big companies, and I've facilitated this process many times 1025 01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:40.360 over the years. Big big corporations are even small successful ones, 1026 01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:44.360 they have to constantly balance supply and demand. The old 1027 01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:46.840 balance and supply Peter Totter we learned about in econ 1028 01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:50.639 one oh one. When sales are down, you have too 1029 01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:53.920 much resources in the business, too many people, too much equipment, 1030 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:57.360 too much inventory. In order to keep profit where it 1031 01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:01.519 needs to be and to keep your business viable, you 1032 01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:04.559 need to start shedding resources if you're out of balance 1033 01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:08.719 for too long. If sales picks up, you better start 1034 01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:13.039 hiring people bringing on extra capital in order to keep 1035 01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:15.280 profits where they're going to be. Long otherwise you're going 1036 01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:17.400 to be on time. Delivery is going to go down. 1037 01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:20.599 Customers are going to get late, they're going to get frustrated. 1038 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:22.960 They're going to fix your supply demand problem with you, 1039 01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:26.440 but for you. But the common theme is that there's 1040 01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:28.760 a profit motive in place in the government. 1041 01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:30.679 There is none exactly. 1042 01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:33.320 So matter of fact, their problem is I got to 1043 01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:35.519 spend all this money this year in order for me 1044 01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:36.880 to go back next year. 1045 01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:38.000 And half for more. 1046 01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:40.159 Yes, that is a fact, Jack. 1047 01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:45.559 Yes, So controls over hiring and controls over who's working 1048 01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:47.000 and are even showing up. 1049 01:02:48.119 --> 01:02:50.079 As you could think about this. 1050 01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:55.079 It's probably lack and almost non existent. So let's go 1051 01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:59.320 back to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. So when bad 1052 01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:02.039 ideas that stick around for one hundred years, or like 1053 01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:08.679 yesterday's call, let's see cafe standards or carbon emissions or 1054 01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.320 carbon offset credits, thank you Al Gore, when those come around, 1055 01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:14.360 those have to be pulled out by the route. But 1056 01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:17.199 here we go with the Republican victory is we're going 1057 01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:20.360 to trim one half of one percent from the Corporation 1058 01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.840 of Public Broadcasting versus end it, and then we'll cut 1059 01:03:23.880 --> 01:03:26.320 a magga cake and to my friend Rick. 1060 01:03:26.239 --> 01:03:29.719 Who said that I had to run for Central Committee. 1061 01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:33.320 Yeah, I'll show up and after one ticket for Central 1062 01:03:33.320 --> 01:03:35.920 Committee please. And you know Central Committee has only been 1063 01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:39.159 around since nineteen eighty two. All my life, I wondered, 1064 01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:42.519 who are the shadow people behind the scenes that trot 1065 01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:45.639 six bad candidates out on stage and tell us snoring 1066 01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:48.800 a primary, pick one of these central by any of 1067 01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:52.079 those you know who it is, Central Committee. 1068 01:03:51.719 --> 01:03:54.079 Central Committee. Yeah, well that's I mean, that's a Rick's 1069 01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:56.280 point in saying you should run for Central Committe because 1070 01:03:56.280 --> 01:03:56.960 you wouldn't do that. 1071 01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:00.800 Well, the only thing I'd want to do with Central 1072 01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:03.280 Committee is shut it down. It's another bad idea that's 1073 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.840 been around since nineteen eighty two. How about we let 1074 01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:08.880 the people decide everybody can run for a primary and 1075 01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:12.199 let the voters decide instead of you know, some bureaucrat 1076 01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:14.679 with the Republican Party, very deep in the bowels and 1077 01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:16.480 unnamed and nobody knows who they are. 1078 01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:19.360 They decide for all of us Ohioans. 1079 01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:21.440 Well, there six Republicans, choose one. 1080 01:04:21.559 --> 01:04:23.920 Yeah, they decide who's going to be endorsed to run. 1081 01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:26.000 But that doesn't mean you can't run, just means you're 1082 01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:28.159 not going to get the endorsement of the Republican Party. 1083 01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:32.000 Eleven million people in Ohio and they're going to they're 1084 01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:33.519 the vetting crew that's going to get it down to 1085 01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:35.000 six and we don't know who they are. We're going 1086 01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.000 to turn that kind of power over to Central Committee. 1087 01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:40.199 I understand your criticisms, but you know, we live in 1088 01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:43.039 a population that rarely even shows up to vote, let 1089 01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:46.239 alone pays enough tention to politics to separate the wheat 1090 01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:48.679 from the chaff in terms of the candidates are running 1091 01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:52.800 for office. I mean again, I'm not arguing with your point. 1092 01:04:53.239 --> 01:04:55.320 We should all be more politically engaged and make more 1093 01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:58.360 positive and inappropriate choices when it comes to who we're 1094 01:04:58.360 --> 01:04:59.960 going to vote for and who we want as candidate. 1095 01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:03.119 But I mean someone I guess their position is, well, 1096 01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:04.960 someone's got to do the laboring or of you know, 1097 01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:06.920 vetting these people, and that's how you end up. What 1098 01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:08.360 did we go ahead? 1099 01:05:08.440 --> 01:05:11.840 What did we do prior to eighty two? Something was broken? 1100 01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:15.119 Or here's my here's my here's my concern. This is 1101 01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:18.280 like central planning, This is us moving towards communism. Oh 1102 01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:20.199 I was been around for a long time and nothing 1103 01:05:20.280 --> 01:05:23.440 was broken till nineteen eighty two. Whenever Central Committee got born. 1104 01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:24.920 Was it a good idea? 1105 01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:27.400 Was there somebody put their finger on exactly what was 1106 01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:29.280 the need to bring Central Committee around? 1107 01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:31.280 Well, if Rick's out there in the audience, maybe he 1108 01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:34.280 can provide a written response.

Got some good folks 1166 01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:18.520 in office, and thanks to the voters who elected Congressman 1167 01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:21.319 Davidson's doing a fine job. Congressman ascy on yesterday, if 1168 01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:23.159 you didn't get a chance to listen, I highly recommend 1169 01:08:23.199 --> 01:08:25.920 the podcast on that talked about the Epstein Bill asking 1170 01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:29.479 to release all the Epstein documents, and it's certainly irking 1171 01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:35.640 Donald Trump, who compares this as he calls it a hoax, 1172 01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:40.600 Jeffrey Epstein hoax, blasting people who are claiming that there's 1173 01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:46.520 something there. Donald Trump pivoting away from prior well statements 1174 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:50.119 related to Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, it's not as bad as 1175 01:08:50.159 --> 01:08:51.800 you see. I regularly point out that you see these 1176 01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:54.680 protests in the street, they're just a small slice of humanity. 1177 01:08:54.760 --> 01:08:56.800 So when you got people attacking ice agents, that is 1178 01:08:56.880 --> 01:08:58.920 not the dominant position in the American people. Most of 1179 01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:00.800 the American people are in face of getting rid of 1180 01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:03.920 most notably the criminal illegal elements in this country. But 1181 01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:05.760 then you see protesters in the street and you're like, 1182 01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:07.760 wait a second, have I missed the bandwagon on this? 1183 01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:11.680 And it's not just ice protests, it's really any kind 1184 01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:16.279 of protest left wingers mostly you know, you got George 1185 01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:19.439 George Floyd type protest, Black Lives Matter type protests, your 1186 01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:22.920 anti file type protests. And where are all these people 1187 01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:25.359 coming from? It's been widely reported many of them are 1188 01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:29.479 paid protesters and people they didn't left denies that, no, no, no, 1189 01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:30.600 these are not paid people. 1190 01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:31.199 Wrong. 1191 01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:35.159 Actually it's a cottage business. Found this out with this 1192 01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:39.279 article I saw in Fox News. The CEO of an 1193 01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:48.640 advocacy group, CEO and founder of Crowds on Demand, Adam Stewart. 1194 01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.239 Swart is his name. The company is called Crowds on Demand. 1195 01:09:53.199 --> 01:09:55.039 Obviously a little bit of inside of what they do. 1196 01:09:55.239 --> 01:09:58.119 They pay protesters, they organize them and have them show 1197 01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:02.479 up when you write them a check. Now, apparently there's 1198 01:10:02.479 --> 01:10:04.760 a there's some protests that are supposed to be taking 1199 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:09.399 place today organized by a group called Good Trouble Lives 1200 01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:14.319 on Today's Day. Although Adam Swartz said not interested in 1201 01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:16.720 helping out so much so that he was willing to 1202 01:10:16.760 --> 01:10:18.800 turn down a contract that would have been worth about 1203 01:10:18.880 --> 01:10:23.159 twenty million dollars had he helped them recruit people to 1204 01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:28.079 show up in protest in return for payment. He said, 1205 01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:32.199 interest align with the organizers of July seventeenth movement have 1206 01:10:32.319 --> 01:10:35.479 approached us, and in fact we rejected an offer that 1207 01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:40.800 probably is worth around twenty million dollars. These protests are 1208 01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:46.199 apparently planned to protest against Trump. They call us off 1209 01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:50.479 a peaceful and non violent protests and social change organization. 1210 01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:54.119 This Good Trouble lives on planning to oppose Trump and 1211 01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:57.279 what they call on their website quote the most brazen 1212 01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:01.359 rollback of civil rights in generation. Close quote. I'll leave 1213 01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:03.560 it to you to decide what exactly they're talking about, Joe, 1214 01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:05.159 do you feel like your civil rights have been taken 1215 01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:11.720 away from you? Every Day Right protests planning today on 1216 01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:16.000 the fifth anniversary of the death of former Representative John 1217 01:11:16.039 --> 01:11:20.439 Lewis of Georgia Democrat, described as a civil rights leader 1218 01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:27.199 who routinely referred to protests as good trouble. Now, I 1219 01:11:27.319 --> 01:11:31.279 doubt this organization. The CEO Swartz organization Crowds on Demand 1220 01:11:31.439 --> 01:11:34.479 is the only organization providing these services out there. I 1221 01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:36.800 would love to see a list of how many companies 1222 01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:40.640 or organizations there are that do provide fake protesters when 1223 01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:44.199 you write them a check. And how many people that 1224 01:11:44.399 --> 01:11:46.359 have to be paid to show up at any given 1225 01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:51.760 protests really truly embrace what they're protesting rather than just 1226 01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:54.039 view it as an opportunity for some easy money. You mean, 1227 01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:55.720 all I gotta do is stand around with a sign. 1228 01:11:55.720 --> 01:11:57.720 You're gonna give me what fifteen twenty bucks an hour, 1229 01:11:57.800 --> 01:11:59.520 But I'll sign up for that. I don't care. Give 1230 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:01.319 me a sign, whatever it says, I'll take the money. 1231 01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:03.840 I'm not doing anything. Let me just get up out 1232 01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:06.960 of my parents' basement and show up. Oh, you provide 1233 01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:12.960 transportation too, making it even easier. Now. This CEO's Swart 1234 01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:16.640 guy regarding crowds on demand company based in California specializing 1235 01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:20.399 in providing on demand crowds for protests, rejected the offer 1236 01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:22.960 because they didn't think the protest like the ones Good 1237 01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:28.000 Trouble Lives on would be effective. He's actually got some 1238 01:12:28.159 --> 01:12:31.680 concern over the effectiveness of the protest. He's protecting his 1239 01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:34.600 crowds on demand business reputation. We don't want to be 1240 01:12:34.600 --> 01:12:39.520 affiliated with something that's not going to bear fruit, Soart said, 1241 01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:40.960 I mean, this is a nationwide thing. 1242 01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:41.199 Right. 1243 01:12:41.319 --> 01:12:43.720 It's not to say I would have made twenty million 1244 01:12:43.720 --> 01:12:46.399 dollars personally, but the value of the contract would have 1245 01:12:46.439 --> 01:12:50.560 been worth around that amount nationwide organize huge demonstrations around 1246 01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:55.880 the country. But personally, I just don't think it's affected effective. 1247 01:12:56.840 --> 01:12:59.359 So it's not I'm not trying to call myself virtuous 1248 01:12:59.399 --> 01:13:01.760 for rejecting it. What I am saying is I'm saying 1249 01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:03.920 I'm rejecting it not because I don't want to take 1250 01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:08.279 the business, but because, frankly, this is going to be ineffective. 1251 01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.239 It's not going to make us, It's going to make 1252 01:13:11.359 --> 01:13:14.800 rather us all look bad. So again, his company's business 1253 01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:18.079 reputation has been kept in mind here. But do you 1254 01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:20.119 think he could have actually paid enough people to show 1255 01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:22.720 up twenty million dollars worth of checks going out? I'm 1256 01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:25.520 guarantee you he would. He would gotten some slice of 1257 01:13:25.560 --> 01:13:31.479 that action, a pretty sizeable amount of money, but just 1258 01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:34.920 the fact that it exists. Going back to my point, 1259 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.680 so you see a whole bunch of people protesting. Did anybody, 1260 01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:42.600 let me ask you this rhetorical question, did anybody in 1261 01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:45.159 my listening audience who showed up at a Trump rally 1262 01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:49.560 get paid to go there. People would show up hours 1263 01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:52.319 in advance, standing around the corner waiting in line to 1264 01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:55.159 get into a Trump event. I don't think they were 1265 01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:59.239 getting a check. Donald Trump, of course, won the popular 1266 01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:03.199 vote and the Electoral College vote last November. Remember that. 1267 01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:07.119 Of course, that's because a majority of the people voted 1268 01:14:07.159 --> 01:14:09.279 for him and the policies and platforms he ran on, 1269 01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:15.039 including enforcing immigration laws. Enter ice queue. The protesters paid 1270 01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:17.520 for by maybe crowds on demand or one of the 1271 01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:20.560 other organizations. I can only presume exists out there that 1272 01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:23.960 hire people to do work that nobody really wants to do. 1273 01:14:24.279 --> 01:14:28.239 By way of making a political statement alone. Six forty 1274 01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:31.640 seven fifty five KRC the talk station. Let's exhale, pause, 1275 01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:36.199 relax and consider the meaning and value of life.

Just epic, beautiful place, So 1284 01:15:04.520 --> 01:15:07.359 more than a burial place, it's a sanctuary. So get 1285 01:15:07.399 --> 01:15:10.920 on in and relax and think positive thoughts at Gate 1286 01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:14.279 of Heaven Cemetery on Montgomery Road.

Yeah, it's crowdsodemand dot com advocacy 1313 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:39.920 programs higher crowds and manager events with crowds on demand. 1314 01:16:40.439 --> 01:16:43.880 So you get your artificial intelligence generated explanation about what 1315 01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:46.399 the hell is crowds on demand? How much is they? 1316 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:48.720 Do they pay per hour? Here's what they say. They say. 1317 01:16:50.119 --> 01:16:53.199 Crowds on Demand a company that provides actors and demonstrators 1318 01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:56.199 for various events, charges varying hourly rates depending on the 1319 01:16:56.239 --> 01:17:00.000 type of service. For basic tasks like staffing and telephone 1320 01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:03.039 banks or letter writing campaigns. Rates can range from twenty 1321 01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:07.479 five dollars to thirty dollars per hour. This according to 1322 01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:11.159 information gleaned from the San Diego Union Tribunes reporting on 1323 01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:14.800 this company, they say had more complex events like protests 1324 01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:19.960 or flash mobs. How did that group just magically appear? 1325 01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:20.359 Oh? 1326 01:17:20.479 --> 01:17:24.079 Maybe crowds on demand put them there. Higher rates are charged, 1327 01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:26.520 potentially reaching one hundred and fifty to five hundred dollars 1328 01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:30.479 per day depending on the length of the event. Examples 1329 01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:33.720 they cite of crowds on demand pricing for your fake protester, 1330 01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:36.560 basic task again, telephone banks, letter writing twenty five to 1331 01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:39.279 thirty per hour, one hundred and fifty to five hundred 1332 01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:42.079 on these protests or flash mobs. One hundred dollars per 1333 01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:45.399 hour for some events, according to the San Diego Tribune, 1334 01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:48.239 one hundred bucks an hour. Joe, would you show up 1335 01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:51.039 someplace with a sign for one hundred dollars an hour? 1336 01:17:54.079 --> 01:18:01.840 Where's the line start? Fake paparazzi six hundred dollars for 1337 01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:04.880 a specific event. That's current of information from an entityl 1338 01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:08.239 called Pointer. They gleaned it from week long political demonstrations. 1339 01:18:08.319 --> 01:18:14.640 Ten thousand dollars. Something called prolonged protest campaign can cast 1340 01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:19.680 you between twenty five and fifty thousand dollars. Crowds for 1341 01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:23.079 marketing or pr stunts fifteen dollars per person per hour, 1342 01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:28.920 fifty dollars per person per gig. All right, they say 1343 01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:31.319 factors that influence the pricing of the type of the event, 1344 01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:35.960 whether it's stage demonstration, duration of the event, location, and 1345 01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:38.359 cost of living. I guess that various city by city 1346 01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:40.640 based upon how much how expensive it is to protest 1347 01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:44.319 there or buy like food as well as lodging. I 1348 01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:46.159 suppose with the multi day event they got to cover 1349 01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:49.079 that as well, plus the skill and experience of the participant, 1350 01:18:51.760 --> 01:18:56.239 pointing out that highly specialized or experienced actors may command 1351 01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:02.359 higher rates. So you're being lied to. It's an optical thing. 1352 01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:08.800 It's staged. It's not real. And I always point out 1353 01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:11.079 even if a T shirt that says it, great ideas 1354 01:19:11.239 --> 01:19:13.800 or good ideas do not require force, They do not 1355 01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:17.800 require coercion, they do not require being bribed. Great ideas 1356 01:19:17.840 --> 01:19:19.840 have a way of attracting people simply because it's a 1357 01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:24.640 great idea. But if you got to pay somebody to 1358 01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:28.119 show up, because no one's going to show up, maybe 1359 01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:33.319 it's a bad idea you're embracing. And you got to 1360 01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:36.199 commend the guy who started the pro the company though, right, 1361 01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:42.399 that's a true capitalist right there. Six point fifty five 1362 01:19:42.439 --> 01:19:44.840 fifty five k se DE talk station.

Right now 1380 01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:50.720 on the Republican side of the Ledger, A lot is 1381 01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:54.199 getting done. That's the understatement of a fi year man. 1382 01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:56.239 I'm Tony Trump has been able to accomplish more and 1383 01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:59.720 you along with Trump's initiatives what he campaigned on a 1384 01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:03.479 lot which is being accomplished. It's just it's so fast 1385 01:21:03.560 --> 01:21:06.680 and so furious. I personally have never witnessed anything like this, 1386 01:21:07.039 --> 01:21:09.199 and all the time I've been looking, you know, studying 1387 01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:12.399 politics was like junior year in high school. What's your 1388 01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:15.000 take on just the the pace at which we're going here. 1389 01:21:16.680 --> 01:21:18.560 Look, Congress is having a hard time moving at the 1390 01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:21.079 speed of Trump. Trump's getting after it every day. I mean, 1391 01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:24.439 the team he's put together is doing amazing things, and 1392 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:27.119 you know, the results are tremendous. I mean, you know, 1393 01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:28.800 maybe the best line of the year was at the 1394 01:21:28.840 --> 01:21:31.199 State of the Union when he said, you know, for 1395 01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:33.279 the for border security, it turns out all we needed 1396 01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:36.119 was a different president. We still haven't passed a really 1397 01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:40.600 good border security law, but with the Big beautiful Bill, 1398 01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:43.159 we gave lots of funding so that they can keep 1399 01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:45.800 the pace they're going at and frankly intensify the efforts. 1400 01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:47.920 So we're going to have a secure border. And with 1401 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:49.520 a secure border, that I give us a lot of 1402 01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:51.560 options on how do we deal with the rest of 1403 01:21:51.640 --> 01:21:54.960 these problems. And you know, I'm excited about that. I'm 1404 01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:57.960 excited about our strong, focused military. I just met with 1405 01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:00.760 the Secretary of the Army this week. We're working on, 1406 01:22:00.960 --> 01:22:03.720 you know, getting the military laser focus readiness wise, I 1407 01:22:03.800 --> 01:22:06.199 mean cutting out the bloat and waste. I mean, I'm 1408 01:22:06.239 --> 01:22:11.199 talking about bureaucratic inefficiencies we've known about for decades. And 1409 01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:14.560 because Congress generally just does omnibus bills and just you know, 1410 01:22:14.680 --> 01:22:17.319 status quo, keep it going, they don't really do the 1411 01:22:17.359 --> 01:22:20.840 major reforms. And they're getting after it in the executive branch. 1412 01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:24.640 Hopefully Congress will move somewhere alongs in line with that 1413 01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:27.920 and we'll get some of those reforms documented into law. 1414 01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:30.279 But the pace is exciting well. 1415 01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:32.520 And it's good that the Supreme Court green lighted people 1416 01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:36.319 getting fired. I just had to laugh, although part of 1417 01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:38.520 me wanted to cry. It took them four months to 1418 01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:41.399 figure out actually the number of people that even worked 1419 01:22:41.439 --> 01:22:43.159 in the state department. They didn't even know. 1420 01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:47.560 Yeah, yeah, I mean it's mind blowing. I mean the 1421 01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:50.159 Security Army. I was talking to them. Thirty thousand people 1422 01:22:50.319 --> 01:22:53.079 work in just the procurement part. These are civilian employees, 1423 01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:57.760 not soldiers, civilian employees, thirty thousand just buying stuff for 1424 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:00.199 the army. And I'm like, well, how's that compare with 1425 01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:02.880 Walmart or Amazon. He's like, well, yeah, like five thousand, 1426 01:23:03.039 --> 01:23:05.319 Like they buy everything in the world, all over the planet, right, 1427 01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:08.119 but yeah, like five thousand people can do it. Thirty 1428 01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:11.239 thousand for the army. So you know, they've got, you know, 1429 01:23:11.359 --> 01:23:14.760 ambitious goals to shrink that and bring the technology up 1430 01:23:14.800 --> 01:23:16.199 to speed. Part of the reason that some of this 1431 01:23:16.239 --> 01:23:18.560 stuff is so broken. I mean, X small business with 1432 01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:20.720 quick books has probably got more tech than a lot 1433 01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:24.239 of our government agencies in terms of just accounting controls. 1434 01:23:24.720 --> 01:23:28.319 You know, who authorized this spending? Did you really receive 1435 01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:31.079 the part that you're about to pay for things like 1436 01:23:31.239 --> 01:23:33.520 that that you just kind of take for granted that 1437 01:23:33.640 --> 01:23:36.720 they're in place. There's a reason they can't pass a 1438 01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:40.319 quote audit and provide accountability there. The other thing is 1439 01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:42.399 this idea of the audit that they're doing it's like, 1440 01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:45.159 you know, they're not focused on details like that. You 1441 01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:47.880 get all these you know, big accounting firms coming in 1442 01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:49.960 and they want to go, well, how do you value 1443 01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:54.000 the nuclear waste. You're like, yeah, we get some nuclear waste. 1444 01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:55.760 We're not putting a price on it. I mean, we're 1445 01:23:55.880 --> 01:23:57.680 just we're just trying to find out what to do 1446 01:23:57.880 --> 01:24:00.359 with it. And they're flag in stuf like that, and 1447 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:02.199 we're like, no, No, where did the money go that 1448 01:24:02.279 --> 01:24:03.079 we sent to Ukraine? 1449 01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:06.359 Exactly? Things like that exactly Well, and that's one of 1450 01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:10.800 the things that I was so impressed by, although underwhelmed 1451 01:24:10.840 --> 01:24:14.439 at the total amount of fraud, waste, and abuse that 1452 01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:15.960 was out in the world. But when Doge looked at 1453 01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:19.359 USAID and we find out the American taxpayer is working 1454 01:24:19.439 --> 01:24:21.720 and going to work every day to make money for 1455 01:24:22.199 --> 01:24:24.119 income taxes. To find out that it's going to like 1456 01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:28.520 Sesame Street in Israel or Afghanistan or something, I mean, 1457 01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:33.479 the list of absurd and insane programs, it's mind boggling, 1458 01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:35.560 and it's angering to folks like me and other people 1459 01:24:35.560 --> 01:24:38.000 who pay attention to this. It's the same question who 1460 01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:42.239 authorized the funding of this ridiculous program and what did 1461 01:24:42.279 --> 01:24:44.600 the non governmental organization who said they were going to 1462 01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:47.840 fix whatever problem was identified actually do with the money. 1463 01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:50.239 There seems to be no follow up or accounting along 1464 01:24:50.319 --> 01:24:50.800 those lines. 1465 01:24:52.159 --> 01:24:52.359 Yeah. 1466 01:24:52.359 --> 01:24:54.279 And I mean even if you look at structural problems, 1467 01:24:54.359 --> 01:24:56.199 like you know, huh okay, we believe we should have 1468 01:24:56.239 --> 01:24:58.880 a housing safety net, but you know, where's the money 1469 01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:01.159 going for some of these projects actually keep funding it 1470 01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:02.840 and they always say, we just need more money. But 1471 01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:05.399 then when you dig in, you're like, in DC DC 1472 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:08.199 public Housing, only fifty percent of the housing units are 1473 01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:11.239 even livable. You're like, well, you get a maintenanceant repair budget, 1474 01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:13.760 it would it gets spent every year. Why aren't the 1475 01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:17.840 places fixed? Did you spend the money fixing the place? Well, 1476 01:25:18.199 --> 01:25:21.039 it gave it to the contractor, Yeah, but did they 1477 01:25:21.079 --> 01:25:24.000 fix the place? You know stuff that's crazy, and it's no, 1478 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:26.279 it isn't getting fixed. That's why you have half of 1479 01:25:26.399 --> 01:25:29.800 the housing units that the people are paying for not livable. 1480 01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:30.720 They can't even use them. 1481 01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:35.239 Well, and as to yesterday, the nine billion dollar federal 1482 01:25:35.319 --> 01:25:38.680 funding reduction for foreign aid programs that went through the Senate, 1483 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:41.000 it's going to be back to the House. What was 1484 01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:44.960 the one stumbling block funding for HIV AIDS research or 1485 01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:47.520 programs out in the world. How's the House going to 1486 01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.800 take the minor changes from the Senate on this one? Yeah, 1487 01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:53.640 I mean we're disappointed. I mean, good grief. 1488 01:25:53.720 --> 01:25:57.600 You get to give a haircut to nine point four billion, 1489 01:25:57.640 --> 01:26:00.600 which you know is zero point one percent of spending. 1490 01:26:00.600 --> 01:26:04.319 I mean, you know that's there. Why are bond prices higher? Well, 1491 01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:07.279 because they know nobody's gonna cut spending. We're we're riding 1492 01:26:07.319 --> 01:26:09.880 this sucker on into the crash site, it seems, and 1493 01:26:10.560 --> 01:26:12.800 you know, we we identify ways to save. 1494 01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:14.520 Money, it would be popular with the public. 1495 01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:17.800 We I mean, only because jd Vance cast the tiebreaking vote, 1496 01:26:18.159 --> 01:26:21.880 could we defund NPR and you know stuff like that. 1497 01:26:21.960 --> 01:26:25.239 I mean, MPR needs a billion dollars to spew propaganda 1498 01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:29.680 for anti American propaganda, often, but certainly you know, anti 1499 01:26:29.800 --> 01:26:32.640 anybody right of the center of the Democratic Party. They're 1500 01:26:32.640 --> 01:26:36.680 pushing far left the agenda every day. And they've got 1501 01:26:36.720 --> 01:26:39.920 lots of donors and plenty of advertisers, and you know, 1502 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:43.920 regular people that just donate to local PBS stations, you 1503 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:45.840 know who I admit to have some good programming. I 1504 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:47.880 like some of their programming. But if you look at 1505 01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:50.079 the Macro agenda. It's his way left of center, and 1506 01:26:50.119 --> 01:26:52.840 they don't need tax dollars to do it. But only 1507 01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:55.279 because jd Vance cast the tiebreaking vote, could they do that? 1508 01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:57.640 We're going to vote on it, I think later today. 1509 01:26:57.680 --> 01:26:59.279 I mean, they have to go to rules committee here 1510 01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:01.840 probably as we speak, and I think we're supposed to 1511 01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:04.920 start a debate on the floor on defense appropriations again 1512 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:06.640 at nine. We did a little bit of it overnight 1513 01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:07.119 last night. 1514 01:27:07.920 --> 01:27:10.720 Well, it seems can you make defense appropriations, you know, 1515 01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:13.560 contingent upon actually being able to pass an audit? I mean, 1516 01:27:13.640 --> 01:27:16.319 it seems doesn't seem like a big ask, But you know, 1517 01:27:16.439 --> 01:27:20.520 I am convinced, like nothing else that there's a whole 1518 01:27:20.560 --> 01:27:22.680 lot of fraud, waste, that abuse in a trillion dollar 1519 01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:24.880 military budget. This is not to say I don't believe 1520 01:27:24.920 --> 01:27:27.720 in building ships and keeping up with the Chinese Communist 1521 01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:32.159 Party or whoever defending America's interests both at home and abroad. 1522 01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:36.600 But like you said, where's the money actually going? Is 1523 01:27:36.640 --> 01:27:40.760 it accomplishing anything or has it been misspent or otherwise stolen? 1524 01:27:42.399 --> 01:27:44.159 Yeah, I mean that was one of the topics talking 1525 01:27:44.239 --> 01:27:46.399 with the Secretary of the Army. Is you know, the 1526 01:27:46.479 --> 01:27:48.600 state of the audit, because I've you know, got this 1527 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:51.159 amendment that I offer, which is, you know, any year 1528 01:27:51.239 --> 01:27:53.039 that they can't pass an audit, you get to eliminate 1529 01:27:53.119 --> 01:27:56.520 ten percent of the general in general. You know, they 1530 01:27:56.600 --> 01:27:58.880 got too many generals. But you have to hold somebody accountable. 1531 01:27:59.239 --> 01:28:01.239 And okay, we believe you need the money because we 1532 01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:03.439 want to be strong and focused and have the best 1533 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:05.520 equipment in the world. Even when you do it. One 1534 01:28:05.520 --> 01:28:06.880 of the things I'm going to speak on is this 1535 01:28:06.960 --> 01:28:10.600 whole thing called a latoral class you know ship. Oh sure, 1536 01:28:10.760 --> 01:28:13.720 the inland waterways and everything else. These things are non 1537 01:28:13.840 --> 01:28:17.239 usable for the purpose. Over half of them aren't even 1538 01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:20.359 seaworthy right now, and they want to keep funding the program. 1539 01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:23.279 And instead of just saying, look, man, we're just throwing 1540 01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:26.840 bad money, throwing good money after bad here, and it's 1541 01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:29.039 just sort of the sunk cost ballacy. Well, you know, 1542 01:28:29.159 --> 01:28:31.279 we've already spent this much. We have to No, it's 1543 01:28:31.359 --> 01:28:34.640 not fixable. Stop well, and I just. 1544 01:28:34.680 --> 01:28:37.399 Have to throw this out because the nature of warfare 1545 01:28:37.479 --> 01:28:41.199 has obviously changed dramatically, as illustrated by the you know, 1546 01:28:41.279 --> 01:28:45.880 the the Israel and the Iranian strikes and of course 1547 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:49.000 you got Russia, Ukraine, it's full on drone. I mean, 1548 01:28:49.479 --> 01:28:53.680 you don't need multi billion dollar aircraft to accomplish the 1549 01:28:53.720 --> 01:28:56.960 goal that a you know, several thousand dollars drone can accomplish. 1550 01:28:57.079 --> 01:28:59.319 So are we going to move away from funding you know, 1551 01:28:59.439 --> 01:29:02.880 these billion dollar manned aircraft in favor of allocating more 1552 01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:04.920 resources and money to drone type technology. 1553 01:29:06.359 --> 01:29:08.680 Well, hopefully we're shifting the focus. I mean we're working 1554 01:29:08.720 --> 01:29:10.760 on it. I mean our shipbuilding state of shipbuilding in 1555 01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:13.039 the country is probably one of the biggest issues. Just 1556 01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:17.359 keeping up with ammunitions is a challenge for the supply chain. 1557 01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:19.000 You know, to be candid, we shipped a lot of 1558 01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:22.479 them to other war zones and we need to replenish ours. 1559 01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:24.640 Part of it was some of those were older. But 1560 01:29:24.760 --> 01:29:26.960 then you get, well, okay, what's the rate that we 1561 01:29:27.039 --> 01:29:31.359 can produce new stuff, and that again through the procurer process, 1562 01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:33.479 isn't keeping pace with what we would like and what 1563 01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:35.760 we what we want to build out for a future 1564 01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:38.640 surge capability if we ever really needed to, you know, 1565 01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:41.119 we wouldn't say I was ever one of the biggest 1566 01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:43.279 fans of Donald Rumsfeld, but he had a decent saying 1567 01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:46.079 I kind of co opted about the supply chain is 1568 01:29:46.479 --> 01:29:48.199 you know, you go to war with the supply chain 1569 01:29:48.239 --> 01:29:50.319 you have, not with the supply chain you wish you had, 1570 01:29:50.439 --> 01:29:52.880 right And we're trying to fix that. And that's a 1571 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.079 big part of what Trump's doing with tariffs. It's a 1572 01:29:55.119 --> 01:29:57.439 big part about, you know, what we're doing with the 1573 01:29:57.479 --> 01:29:59.760 Defense Production Act, and it is trying to get the 1574 01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:04.239 whole country focused instead of just used to spending money 1575 01:30:04.279 --> 01:30:06.439 on giant programs and not caring about the outcome. 1576 01:30:06.760 --> 01:30:09.159 We'll continue to Congressman Moar and Davidson pivoting over from 1577 01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:13.880 that specificular focus on our defense spending two giving weapons 1578 01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:16.840 to Ukraine, among other topics. Stick around me right back 1579 01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.000 seven fifteen fifty five krs to the talk station and 1580 01:30:19.079 --> 01:30:20.880 a strong recommendation to get in touch with John Ryan 1581 01:30:20.920 --> 01:30:23.199 and pressed these interior so to your kitchen remodeling project 1582 01:30:23.279 --> 01:30:24.960 he did ours. We love what he was able to 1583 01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:26.920 do with us. We went with a big project, the 1584 01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:29.920 whole gut, the whole thing taken out and started from scratch, 1585 01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:32.159 which was ideal for us because he was able to 1586 01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:34.920 transform the space into something that had far better flow 1587 01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:38.760 and even more space. It sounds impossible with a fixed 1588 01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:41.119 size room, but he did it. And we love what 1589 01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:44.359 John accomplished. He's there with you from initial design to 1590 01:30:44.439 --> 01:30:47.880 final installations. Been doing kitchens almost exclusively for about thirty 1591 01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:50.680 five years. You'll love working with him. He's a really 1592 01:30:50.840 --> 01:30:53.439 nice guy and he's the guy you have to deal with. 1593 01:30:53.479 --> 01:30:55.520 You don't have to worry about anybody else. John will 1594 01:30:55.560 --> 01:30:57.399 be on the job for you. Aplus is a better 1595 01:30:57.439 --> 01:31:00.520 business bureau. Visit the website.

By the time 1619 01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:14.520 of speaking with Congressman Warren Davidson, pivoting over to arms 1620 01:32:14.600 --> 01:32:17.079 going to Ukraine. Trump's kind of been on again, off 1621 01:32:17.079 --> 01:32:19.039 again on this, and most recently he said he's going 1622 01:32:19.079 --> 01:32:22.239 to provide some additional weapons to Ukraine, notably some Patriot 1623 01:32:22.279 --> 01:32:24.600 missiles as well as ammunition. They are in desperate need 1624 01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:26.439 of that kind of thing, but the running out of 1625 01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:29.840 people to actually operate it. Their military is getting decimated. 1626 01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:33.720 Russia keeps making advances. And you know, patriot missile costs 1627 01:32:33.800 --> 01:32:37.600 what four million dollars apiece. We only manufacture collectively, like 1628 01:32:37.720 --> 01:32:41.039 six hundred of them per year. The system that is 1629 01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:43.199 required to fire them off and everything related to it 1630 01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:46.079 is more than a billion dollars. And you've got six 1631 01:32:46.279 --> 01:32:49.920 hundred plus drones flying into any given target area at 1632 01:32:49.960 --> 01:32:52.560 a time. You can knock those down with Patriot missiles. 1633 01:32:52.640 --> 01:32:55.800 The cost benefit analysis just collapses in the face of 1634 01:32:55.880 --> 01:32:58.239 how cheap drones are. Congressman Davidson, where are you on 1635 01:32:58.359 --> 01:32:59.520 arm shipments to Ukraine? 1636 01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:00.279 Uh? 1637 01:33:00.439 --> 01:33:03.479 And where we stand on that? Because Russia they're unwavering 1638 01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:05.319 in their position. They have a list of demands and 1639 01:33:05.359 --> 01:33:07.399 they have not moved away from them. I don't know 1640 01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:10.359 threatening them with fifty days to do this or that. 1641 01:33:10.560 --> 01:33:12.319 I don't think Peutin's going to lift a finger to 1642 01:33:12.399 --> 01:33:14.279 do anything. He knows what he wants and he's not 1643 01:33:14.439 --> 01:33:15.680 wavering because he's winning. 1644 01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:19.560 Yeah, I mean, you point out, like, what's going to 1645 01:33:19.680 --> 01:33:22.640 change Putin's mind? Look, the great thing is Donald Trump 1646 01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:26.600 came into office with a very clear objective. He wants peace. 1647 01:33:27.399 --> 01:33:30.560 He doesn't care precisely where lines are drawn. He doesn't 1648 01:33:30.560 --> 01:33:32.239 care about a lot of the details. But he wants 1649 01:33:32.279 --> 01:33:34.479 people is he said, I want people to stop dying, 1650 01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:38.000 and he's like, what's wrong with that? Stop dying? And 1651 01:33:38.399 --> 01:33:41.159 there there there is a massive loss of life on 1652 01:33:41.319 --> 01:33:45.399 both yes, the Ukrainian military and the Russian military. But 1653 01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:47.840 if you look at Ukraine, they've been decimated with their 1654 01:33:47.880 --> 01:33:52.439 population base. They're doing, you know, really indefensible things to 1655 01:33:52.520 --> 01:33:56.800 get more bodies to go out to the front and push, 1656 01:33:56.960 --> 01:33:59.920 pushing people out into into the combat zone. And look, 1657 01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:02.600 they're trying to save and defend their country. You understand it. 1658 01:34:02.880 --> 01:34:06.920 It's a terrible war, but they're also not rationally negotiating. 1659 01:34:07.000 --> 01:34:10.079 So Trump's done a lot to get Zelenski there. But 1660 01:34:10.279 --> 01:34:14.039 in the meantime, you know, the weakness no matter how 1661 01:34:14.119 --> 01:34:16.600 much money you have, no matter how many munitions you have, 1662 01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:20.479 you still need manpower. And the critical weakness for Ukraine 1663 01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:23.439 as this has gone on and on and on is manpower. 1664 01:34:23.560 --> 01:34:27.039 So when they had manpower early, they weren't rational in 1665 01:34:27.119 --> 01:34:29.920 their negotiating position. So you know, I hope they haven't 1666 01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:31.800 missed a moment to get a better piece than what 1667 01:34:31.880 --> 01:34:35.359 they're going to wind up with. But you know, this 1668 01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:37.640 is part of how bad Biden was. I mean, I 1669 01:34:37.760 --> 01:34:39.880 never voted for a dime to go to Ukraine because 1670 01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:42.479 they would never define what are you trying to accomplish? 1671 01:34:42.880 --> 01:34:45.479 And then they would say crazy things like well work 1672 01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:48.880 regime change in Russia and war crimes tribunals for Putin. 1673 01:34:49.159 --> 01:34:51.640 I'm not saying that would be a completely unjust outcome, 1674 01:34:52.119 --> 01:34:54.279 but Ukraine isn't going to accomplish that no matter how 1675 01:34:54.319 --> 01:34:57.560 manys we send them. That's World War three, you know, 1676 01:34:58.039 --> 01:34:59.880 And I'm out on World War three if we can 1677 01:35:00.039 --> 01:35:04.319 avoid it, right, and uh, there's a complete disconnect here 1678 01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:06.640 with a lot of the resources under the Bide administration, 1679 01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:09.359 Trump has really still got it right and saying, look, 1680 01:35:09.720 --> 01:35:12.439 this also isn't our war to fight or fund, so 1681 01:35:12.680 --> 01:35:17.159 we'll sell NATO member countries the weapons and the sort 1682 01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:19.960 of caveat there is. I mean, we fund over half 1683 01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:22.479 of NATO, so you know, in a way, yes, our 1684 01:35:22.560 --> 01:35:24.920 dollars are still going to it. But he's trying to 1685 01:35:24.960 --> 01:35:27.239 get an outcome, and I hope he does, but you know, 1686 01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:29.000 the I think the odds are long at this point 1687 01:35:29.039 --> 01:35:31.720 of getting put In to the negotiating table. If anyone 1688 01:35:31.760 --> 01:35:33.079 could do it, I think Donald Trump. 1689 01:35:32.920 --> 01:35:35.880 Can't Yeah, well it's gonna it's going to require Zelonsky 1690 01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:38.199 to relent. I mean that just seems obvious because the 1691 01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:41.119 longer this goes on and the more he refuses to 1692 01:35:41.279 --> 01:35:44.680 negotiate and back off on what he ultimately thinks he wants, 1693 01:35:44.720 --> 01:35:48.119 which is like the Russia completely leaving the borders of Ukraine, 1694 01:35:48.119 --> 01:35:50.199 which is never going to happen. This is just going 1695 01:35:50.279 --> 01:35:53.000 to continue in Russia's position, and from the bargaining standpoint, 1696 01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:55.800 he's just going to get stronger. Yeah. 1697 01:35:55.880 --> 01:35:58.479 Then that's what's happened is you know the moments I 1698 01:35:58.560 --> 01:36:01.920 mean really are honestly, the Biden administration scuttled it. If 1699 01:36:01.920 --> 01:36:06.439 you look at the you know, the German German ambassador 1700 01:36:07.439 --> 01:36:11.239 outed this and how widely reported it back in back 1701 01:36:11.319 --> 01:36:14.119 in uh you know, spring summer of twenty two, you know, 1702 01:36:14.239 --> 01:36:16.960 months after the war started. Uh you know that the 1703 01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:20.439 Biden team scuttled any negotiation for peace. I mean, so 1704 01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:22.680 let's get that point, was ready to reach a piece 1705 01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:27.239 with Russia. So since then he's been emboldened by all 1706 01:36:27.319 --> 01:36:30.319 the NATO countries and then the you know the war path. 1707 01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:33.119 First people that are like no, no, we'll keep cutting 1708 01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:36.239 you unlimited checks and at some level. I'm not sure 1709 01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:40.239 all those checks made it to the front, but there there. 1710 01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:42.439 To your point, a lot of innovation has come out 1711 01:36:42.479 --> 01:36:45.039 of this war. The United States has learned a ton. 1712 01:36:45.199 --> 01:36:47.760 The drone developments come a long way, and you have 1713 01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:51.840 you have lightweight drones with you know, vision systems, UH, 1714 01:36:51.960 --> 01:36:55.319 some of which can be controlled not one drone by 1715 01:36:55.359 --> 01:36:58.800 one operator, but little swarms of these things, and they 1716 01:36:58.840 --> 01:37:02.119 can target vehicle, they could target humans, they can discriminate 1717 01:37:02.239 --> 01:37:06.640 amongst targets, and they're they're they're getting pretty good at 1718 01:37:06.640 --> 01:37:10.680 the supply chain for for small, very effective drones, so 1719 01:37:10.800 --> 01:37:14.760 they're there, they are multiplying their combat power and over time, 1720 01:37:15.079 --> 01:37:17.239 I think the drones have done a lot to uh 1721 01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:20.720 to dissuade Russia and the Russian troops on the battlefield, 1722 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:24.079 and they're definitely out competing on the supply chain because 1723 01:37:24.119 --> 01:37:28.560 they've got Western civilization essentially funneling the supply chain UH 1724 01:37:28.640 --> 01:37:31.760 and Russia has got you know, China, which is you know, 1725 01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:35.199 pretty big industrial base obviously, but the level of innovation 1726 01:37:35.439 --> 01:37:38.199 isn't matching the drums. I mean, we've picked up battlefield 1727 01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:40.359 drums and you know, held them in our hands. For 1728 01:37:40.439 --> 01:37:42.319 the small ones and looked at them in other ways 1729 01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:45.079 for for bigger ones and looking at you know, what's 1730 01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:48.680 the state of play for technology on either side, and uh, 1731 01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:52.079 you know, look there's some encouraging things there. Any wars 1732 01:37:52.159 --> 01:37:56.239 tragic and pieces of better outcome. So hopefully we resolve it. 1733 01:37:56.640 --> 01:37:59.199 Amen to that, And something I talked about yesterday with 1734 01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:01.680 Congress from Massive joined the program his bill to get 1735 01:38:01.720 --> 01:38:05.119 the Epstein files released, subject to limitations like no, no 1736 01:38:05.279 --> 01:38:07.640 child porn or victim identities will be released, so there's 1737 01:38:07.640 --> 01:38:11.119 some caveats, and then to protect the more warriams worrisome 1738 01:38:11.159 --> 01:38:13.199 elements of what we know they have, which is a 1739 01:38:13.239 --> 01:38:15.800 bunch of child porn that he downloaded. But beyond that, 1740 01:38:16.039 --> 01:38:18.279 a lot of questions, a lot of conspiracies swirling out there, 1741 01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:20.680 and they only seem to be fed more by Trump's 1742 01:38:20.680 --> 01:38:23.279 position now that there's nothing there that this is somehow 1743 01:38:23.399 --> 01:38:26.279 Russian collusion or Russian hoax along the lines of the 1744 01:38:26.319 --> 01:38:29.399 Steele dossier. That seems to be a position change for 1745 01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:31.720 the president. But Massey's trying to fast track this bill 1746 01:38:31.800 --> 01:38:34.520 to get those documents released. Where are you, Congressman Davidson, 1747 01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:35.760 relative to that subject matter? 1748 01:38:37.359 --> 01:38:40.199 Well, more than public information Normally when there's a prosecution, 1749 01:38:40.399 --> 01:38:43.800 they will simply say I can't talk about an ongoing investigation, 1750 01:38:43.960 --> 01:38:46.239 and you don't see all the details, right right, So 1751 01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:49.199 more than a list or more than details that frankly, 1752 01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:51.319 I don't want made public because I don't want them 1753 01:38:51.319 --> 01:38:52.760 to go away from being able to be used in 1754 01:38:52.840 --> 01:38:55.279 a trial. I want to know when someone other than 1755 01:38:55.359 --> 01:38:58.319 Julaanne Maxwell's going to jail, what's the state of the 1756 01:38:58.399 --> 01:39:01.560 prosecutions is what I want to know. But I do 1757 01:39:01.760 --> 01:39:04.399 find it troubling when you know, Pam Bondi comes out 1758 01:39:04.479 --> 01:39:07.000 and says, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, 1759 01:39:07.239 --> 01:39:09.960 you remember the binders and the files that you were 1760 01:39:10.039 --> 01:39:12.279 had on your desk, like what So the messaging on 1761 01:39:12.359 --> 01:39:15.920 this has just been atrocious, and I think that's the part, 1762 01:39:16.079 --> 01:39:19.640 like what the heck are you talking about? And unfortunately, 1763 01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:22.279 when you look at the public statements that the president's made, 1764 01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:25.239 normally he's on message boom boom boom. So you know, 1765 01:39:25.800 --> 01:39:27.800 the one thing I know about President Trump, though, I mean, 1766 01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:30.720 one of the things that's defined him is promises made, 1767 01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:34.520 promises kept. So I'm certainly hopeful that we're going to 1768 01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:36.960 see this promise kept and where it's really going to 1769 01:39:36.960 --> 01:39:40.880 be accountability for the people that were trafficking kids and 1770 01:39:41.119 --> 01:39:43.239 the clients that were you. 1771 01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:47.920 Know, amazing, yeah, and yeah exactly. 1772 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:52.039 I mean someone, someone, someone was actually doing the other 1773 01:39:52.159 --> 01:39:54.119 side of this, not just the victims. And so we 1774 01:39:54.239 --> 01:39:57.279 want those people prosecuted and and the people. 1775 01:39:57.119 --> 01:39:57.760 Are right to do that. 1776 01:39:57.880 --> 01:40:00.840 And look, if if we can't do that, I mean 1777 01:40:02.479 --> 01:40:05.640 we need an entirely we need a constitutional convention because 1778 01:40:05.680 --> 01:40:08.880 this system isn't working. I mean that's pretty basic right there, 1779 01:40:09.039 --> 01:40:11.319 Like you have to have accountability for people that are 1780 01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:12.079 doing stuff. 1781 01:40:11.880 --> 01:40:14.640 Like that, yes, you do. And of course it fuels 1782 01:40:14.720 --> 01:40:17.199 the fire of conspiracy theories like how many members of 1783 01:40:17.319 --> 01:40:20.119 Congress are involved?

I can't tell. 1966 01:49:13.079 --> 01:49:15.680 I'll call you a Central Committee Rick, you had comment 1967 01:49:15.760 --> 01:49:17.199 Jay had made a comment the other day and he 1968 01:49:17.279 --> 01:49:19.680 called back this morning and you had said, you know, 1969 01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:21.760 Jay's the kind of guy we need on Central Committee 1970 01:49:21.760 --> 01:49:24.279 because he's complaining about the poor choice of candidates, the 1971 01:49:24.399 --> 01:49:27.439 rhinos that are selected and always running the bad people 1972 01:49:27.560 --> 01:49:29.359 and this continues over and over again. At least a 1973 01:49:29.359 --> 01:49:32.239 broad brushway of summarizing his statements. You sent me an 1974 01:49:32.279 --> 01:49:34.800 email saying he needs to join Central Committee so he 1975 01:49:34.880 --> 01:49:37.560 can have a say and getting better candidates. And his 1976 01:49:37.720 --> 01:49:40.600 retort this morning was why do we even have Central Committee? 1977 01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:43.079 Aren't we capable of making these choices ourselves? And isn't 1978 01:49:43.119 --> 01:49:46.439 this just another power play and grab that puts the 1979 01:49:46.520 --> 01:49:48.760 power in the hands of a small select group of people. 1980 01:49:50.199 --> 01:49:52.520 Well, I think a lot of. 1981 01:49:52.520 --> 01:49:56.399 People misunderstand what Central Committee is. It's it's basically just 1982 01:49:56.680 --> 01:50:00.720 a pack a political action committee like any other political 1983 01:50:00.800 --> 01:50:05.840 action committee that endorses and supports candidates because they don't 1984 01:50:05.840 --> 01:50:09.359 want to get their policy and actor. The only difference 1985 01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:14.159 between the central parties and parties Central Committee Republican Party 1986 01:50:14.239 --> 01:50:18.039 Central Committee is that the membership is open to the 1987 01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:22.279 public and they are elected by the grassroots. They get 1988 01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:26.760 one delegate I call them delegates, one delegate from each neighborhood. 1989 01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:29.119 They call it a precinct, and they sit on the committee. 1990 01:50:29.479 --> 01:50:33.039 They vet candidates, and then they endorse them. That's all 1991 01:50:33.119 --> 01:50:37.000 they do. They can't get they can't, you. 1992 01:50:37.039 --> 01:50:38.199 Know, elect this guy. 1993 01:50:38.720 --> 01:50:42.600 It's still up to the voters. In the primary, and 1994 01:50:43.079 --> 01:50:47.319 so they get bombarded with mailers and phone calls from 1995 01:50:47.520 --> 01:50:51.279 all the packs, including us. We put out our little 1996 01:50:51.600 --> 01:50:54.439 voter guide, they put out theirs. Everybody is trying to 1997 01:50:54.560 --> 01:50:58.800 influence us. In fact that anybody, anybody and everybody that 1998 01:50:58.920 --> 01:51:02.279 talks about policy candidates is a pack, whether they call 1999 01:51:02.359 --> 01:51:04.680 it that or not, whether it fits the legal definition 2000 01:51:04.880 --> 01:51:09.640 or not. Like newspapers, bloggers, you know, you name it, podcasts, 2001 01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:15.239 everybody that mentions a candidate or a policy is a pack, 2002 01:51:16.119 --> 01:51:19.079 and we have to compete in that. We have to 2003 01:51:19.239 --> 01:51:22.239 you know, just like in military combat, you have to run, 2004 01:51:22.479 --> 01:51:24.640 you have to charge to the sound of the guns. 2005 01:51:24.680 --> 01:51:27.920 That's where the battle is. And so like we can 2006 01:51:28.039 --> 01:51:30.319 wish it was some other way, we can wish it was, 2007 01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:33.439 you know, that people would just everybody would come out 2008 01:51:33.439 --> 01:51:36.600 and vote and we'd all vote end mass and decide 2009 01:51:36.600 --> 01:51:38.880 who was going to be what. But the battle is 2010 01:51:38.960 --> 01:51:42.039 in this advertising space where if you want to call 2011 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:45.159 it an endorsement, that's that's all an endorsement is. Is 2012 01:51:45.239 --> 01:51:46.640 that is an ad. 2013 01:51:48.359 --> 01:51:53.319 Any questions about that, no understand, but I guess it 2014 01:51:53.399 --> 01:51:55.399 has I guess centric he has more credibility because it 2015 01:51:55.560 --> 01:51:57.720 is representative the will of the people, because people vote 2016 01:51:57.760 --> 01:51:59.680 for the members of the Central Committee, unlike a political 2017 01:51:59.720 --> 01:52:02.319 action committee, which just has its handout for money, which 2018 01:52:02.359 --> 01:52:04.560 they put in a big pile and then fund whatever 2019 01:52:04.760 --> 01:52:07.239 issue is that that political action committee is focused on. 2020 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:12.760 In fact, more importantly is the membership of those packs. 2021 01:52:13.479 --> 01:52:16.800 But all the packs you know where Blue twenty two 2022 01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:20.239 came from and all the rest, Yeah, you cannot join 2023 01:52:20.319 --> 01:52:21.880 those packs. You can send them money. 2024 01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:22.960 You'll take it, of course. 2025 01:52:23.039 --> 01:52:26.359 If you want to be a member of the board, 2026 01:52:26.520 --> 01:52:29.880 the voting board, you know, they'll just show you the door. 2027 01:52:30.560 --> 01:52:30.720 Right. 2028 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:34.359 Central Committee is the only pack that you can actually 2029 01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:37.479 become a member of. It's open to the public. Nurse 2030 01:52:37.720 --> 01:52:41.439 one one member, one delegate per neighborhood. 2031 01:52:41.560 --> 01:52:45.319 They call it a praising right. Well, I can give 2032 01:52:45.359 --> 01:52:47.159 you some hint. I was going to say, I guess 2033 01:52:47.239 --> 01:52:52.239 that's what lends Central Committee more credibility than your traditional pack, which, 2034 01:52:52.840 --> 01:52:55.359 doubling down to what you said, does not offer opportunities 2035 01:52:55.359 --> 01:52:57.000 to be on a board, does not provide you with 2036 01:52:57.119 --> 01:52:59.520 really at opportunity to steer the messaging from the pack 2037 01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:01.439 asking you for a handout and for money. 2038 01:53:03.439 --> 01:53:06.760 Correct, now, I can I've been doing this since the 2039 01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:11.239 late seventies, and I can remember when you know, a 2040 01:53:11.319 --> 01:53:13.439 lot of people say, you know, at least now we 2041 01:53:13.560 --> 01:53:15.359 have light at the end of the tunnel. Well, when 2042 01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:19.199 I got started, there was no tunnel, and it took 2043 01:53:19.279 --> 01:53:22.920 a long time for us to even become close to 2044 01:53:23.000 --> 01:53:25.479 being a majority on any of these Central Committees around 2045 01:53:25.520 --> 01:53:28.600 the country. But I can give you you just had 2046 01:53:28.680 --> 01:53:31.760 Warren Davidson on. You know why he's our congressman, a 2047 01:53:31.800 --> 01:53:34.359 congressman of far in Butler County instead of John Banner 2048 01:53:35.399 --> 01:53:38.880 is because of the Butler County Central Committee was going 2049 01:53:38.960 --> 01:53:43.720 to endorse Warren Davidson. Banner got a window of it 2050 01:53:43.880 --> 01:53:46.319 and decided not to run. He said, oh, I got 2051 01:53:46.399 --> 01:53:47.800 better things to do with my time. 2052 01:53:48.039 --> 01:53:50.159 Yeah, making money off the weed industry. 2053 01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:58.840 And Bernie Marino when we had our endorsement meeting down 2054 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:02.479 here in Claimworont County, we had our endorsement meeting. First 2055 01:54:02.560 --> 01:54:05.239 he came down, was like a field of seven candidates. 2056 01:54:05.279 --> 01:54:09.720 He won our endorsement on the first ballot. And that's 2057 01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:14.359 because we spent decades, you know, teaching people about Central 2058 01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:17.760 Committee and getting them on the committee so that they 2059 01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:20.239 could be there on that one day every two years 2060 01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:24.319 when the endorsements are made, and so we've seen real 2061 01:54:24.439 --> 01:54:27.640 impact all across the country, not just here in Ohio. 2062 01:54:29.560 --> 01:54:32.560 Well, you've done a good job of getting sound people 2063 01:54:32.760 --> 01:54:35.119 to become and get elected to Central Committee too, And 2064 01:54:35.199 --> 01:54:37.520 I think part of Jay's problem is that that isn't 2065 01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:40.399 always the case depending upon where you're looking, and that's 2066 01:54:40.439 --> 01:54:42.600 how you end up with some four choices for candidates, 2067 01:54:42.640 --> 01:54:44.920 but they're in that addresses your problem. Well, if you 2068 01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:47.439 think you're a better person selecting people and endorsing people 2069 01:54:47.479 --> 01:54:49.319 and vetting people, then get on Central Committee and have 2070 01:54:49.359 --> 01:54:51.239 a say on it. Rick, Hero and I. 2071 01:54:51.399 --> 01:54:54.279 One of the things all we try to do is 2072 01:54:54.600 --> 01:54:57.760 recruit normal people, just normal people. 2073 01:54:58.560 --> 01:55:03.520 That's just like a jury. I understand, I get it. Rick, 2074 01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:06.399 Thanks for calling in supporting your concept and I still 2075 01:55:06.439 --> 01:55:07.960 say it's a sound idea. If you want to get 2076 01:55:08.000 --> 01:55:10.439 really involved and have us say in the matter, get 2077 01:55:10.479 --> 01:55:12.560 elected to Central Committee. Thank you, Rick for all your 2078 01:55:12.600 --> 01:55:16.079 hard work over the years. Seven forty seven And how 2079 01:55:16.159 --> 01:55:18.760 close are you to neighbors with that rooster?

Kind enough of Steve 2100 01:56:18.600 --> 01:56:20.439 to stay on hold. Steve, Sorry had to carry over 2101 01:56:20.520 --> 01:56:22.199 that break, but I appreciate you holding. Welcome to the 2102 01:56:22.239 --> 01:56:24.560 Morning Show, not a problem. 2103 01:56:24.279 --> 01:56:27.520 He is interesting. I enjoy the back and forth. 2104 01:56:27.720 --> 01:56:27.880 Uh. 2105 01:56:28.680 --> 01:56:31.520 It was informative, it was. And Bainer got in the 2106 01:56:31.560 --> 01:56:34.760 weed business after being against it when he was in office. 2107 01:56:35.800 --> 01:56:39.680 The same way Rob Portman was against gay marriage until 2108 01:56:39.720 --> 01:56:42.039 it turned out his son came to him, and when 2109 01:56:42.279 --> 01:56:44.720 came out of the closet and was gay, then he's 2110 01:56:44.800 --> 01:56:46.880 for it. So he didn't care if your son or 2111 01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:50.279 my son was gay, but when it directly affected him, 2112 01:56:50.479 --> 01:56:53.720 then then he changed his tune, which is somebody that's 2113 01:56:53.800 --> 01:56:56.600 not a leader in a leadership position. Not what I'm 2114 01:56:56.640 --> 01:56:59.319 calling about. But stuff like that ticks me off to 2115 01:56:59.439 --> 01:57:04.560 no end. Yeah, because they're they're absolute useless people. Absolutely, 2116 01:57:05.239 --> 01:57:09.640 So I don't have any roosters out here. The neighbors 2117 01:57:09.800 --> 01:57:12.279 now that I'm on the deck and the water's trickling 2118 01:57:12.319 --> 01:57:15.439 in the fountain. The neighbor behind me, they've got a 2119 01:57:15.479 --> 01:57:18.039 lot of land. They have two horses. I give them 2120 01:57:18.159 --> 01:57:20.640 apples all the time, because you know, Kroger's got to 2121 01:57:20.720 --> 01:57:24.159 give away fruits and veggies, and we always buy apples. 2122 01:57:24.399 --> 01:57:27.439 And these horses they don't make any noise, but they 2123 01:57:27.600 --> 01:57:29.880 come right to the corner of my yard and just 2124 01:57:30.039 --> 01:57:33.359 absolutely stare at me. And it breaks your heart. 2125 01:57:33.159 --> 01:57:34.119 If you don't have one. 2126 01:57:34.439 --> 01:57:36.640 So we always have them and it's a fun thing 2127 01:57:36.680 --> 01:57:40.119 to do. The reason I'm calling I talked to a 2128 01:57:40.199 --> 01:57:43.319 guy in my church or retired Delta pilot, and I 2129 01:57:43.439 --> 01:57:46.560 asked him, I said, do you guys I was talking 2130 01:57:46.600 --> 01:57:48.960 about not so much the air India, but I remembered 2131 01:57:49.079 --> 01:57:52.000 Egypt Air. I remember the German airline where the co 2132 01:57:52.199 --> 01:57:55.640 pilot locked the pilot out and crashed the airpoint. I said, 2133 01:57:56.039 --> 01:58:02.119 did you guys do any recurring psychological training evaluations anything? 2134 01:58:02.199 --> 01:58:05.279 And he said no, And I said, so it's kind 2135 01:58:05.319 --> 01:58:07.760 of like firefighters when they have to do the physical 2136 01:58:07.920 --> 01:58:10.680 to get the job and then they're a firefighter for 2137 01:58:10.760 --> 01:58:13.760 twenty years and they're very heavy and they couldn't they 2138 01:58:13.800 --> 01:58:17.319 couldn't pass the physical test again, no recurring training on that. 2139 01:58:17.479 --> 01:58:20.840 He goes, it's like that, he said. They counted on. 2140 01:58:21.199 --> 01:58:24.520 Like if you flew with somebody in the cockpit and 2141 01:58:24.680 --> 01:58:30.079 you thought they were a bit off, you would tell Delta, hey, 2142 01:58:30.159 --> 01:58:33.840 I'd rather not fly with this person again. They seem, 2143 01:58:33.960 --> 01:58:37.359 you know whatever. And I guess if the person got 2144 01:58:37.439 --> 01:58:39.800 a couple of reports on them, maybe they would pull 2145 01:58:39.880 --> 01:58:44.199 them in. But they just count on co workers identifying 2146 01:58:44.279 --> 01:58:49.479 somebody with the problems for what it's worth, but maybe 2147 01:58:49.640 --> 01:58:55.880 some recurring psychological evaluations would be good. I want pilots 2148 01:58:56.079 --> 01:58:59.680 in the cockpit. I do not want to not have 2149 01:58:59.800 --> 01:59:03.319 somebody there. And if somebody on the ground is controlling 2150 01:59:03.359 --> 01:59:06.000 the airplane, they could have a problem too. And in fact, 2151 01:59:06.039 --> 01:59:08.439 they wouldn't kill themselves. They could just murder a bunch 2152 01:59:08.479 --> 01:59:10.159 of people without committing suicide. 2153 01:59:10.239 --> 01:59:13.920 So that is true. But you know, Holman Jenkins Junior's 2154 01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:17.319 article in the in the Journal today addresses all of 2155 01:59:17.359 --> 01:59:19.880 the ones where they're appeared to have been very intentional 2156 01:59:20.079 --> 01:59:23.039 murders suicide slash murders from pilots who went through a 2157 01:59:23.039 --> 01:59:25.119 whole bunch of illustrations on this. You mentioned one of them, 2158 01:59:25.760 --> 01:59:29.680 but he suggested maybe there we can incorporate technology. Artificial 2159 01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:31.840 intelligence might be able to yell at the pilot like 2160 01:59:31.920 --> 01:59:34.359 don't do that if they're doing something like on the 2161 01:59:34.399 --> 01:59:36.760 Boeing seven thirty seven max. If they failed to instruct 2162 01:59:36.760 --> 01:59:39.880 pilots how after the software change. So you know, there 2163 01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:43.119 are some technological advances that wouldn't require human intervention that 2164 01:59:43.199 --> 01:59:45.640 might provide an extra measure of safety. But I share 2165 01:59:45.680 --> 01:59:48.840 your concerns about the pilotless airplane. That's one of the 2166 01:59:48.880 --> 01:59:50.640 things he talked about in his articles, like, well, we've 2167 01:59:50.640 --> 01:59:53.319 got driverless cars and there's far more opportunities for someone 2168 01:59:53.399 --> 01:59:56.640 to you know, you know, circumstances where you're involved in 2169 01:59:56.680 --> 01:59:58.920 so much more traffic and so many more opportunities to 2170 01:59:58.960 --> 02:00:02.119 get into an accident. But we driverless cars, seems logical 2171 02:00:02.199 --> 02:00:05.680 that we might be able to have a pilotless airplane. Again, 2172 02:00:05.760 --> 02:00:07.239 that's not a road I want to go down yet, 2173 02:00:07.319 --> 02:00:09.600 but I do embrace the idea of maybe incorporating some 2174 02:00:09.920 --> 02:00:13.279 automatic technology. And his other comment about having some sort 2175 02:00:13.319 --> 02:00:15.960 of system where we know where all the planes are 2176 02:00:16.199 --> 02:00:19.560 all the time. That Malaysian airline was a big red 2177 02:00:19.600 --> 02:00:23.279 flag because there's no tracking ability out in the middle 2178 02:00:23.319 --> 02:00:26.760 of the ocean where it ultimately crashed. So anyhow, we'll 2179 02:00:26.760 --> 02:00:28.319 talk about that with Jay Ratliff coming up at the 2180 02:00:28.319 --> 02:00:29.880 bottom of the next hour. Hope you can stick around 2181 02:00:29.880 --> 02:00:33.359 for that, But first the man Steve Gooden, our legal 2182 02:00:33.439 --> 02:00:36.680 expert on Biden's auto pen use as well as his 2183 02:00:36.840 --> 02:00:38.800 run for SINCEI City Council. I hope you can stick 2184 02:00:38.800 --> 02:00:42.920 around for that. Hus happens fast, Stay up to date, 2185 02:00:43.039 --> 02:00:45.359 at the top of the hour. Not going to be complicated. 2186 02:00:45.439 --> 02:00:48.760 It's going to go very fast. Fifty five krs the 2187 02:00:49.119 --> 02:00:52.319 talks your summer backpack of information. 2188 02:00:52.640 --> 02:00:54.359 I love how they just cover everything. 2189 02:00:54.439 --> 02:01:01.760 Fifty five krz the talkstation eight to five. Fifty five 2190 02:01:01.840 --> 02:01:05.199 krc DE Talk Station right time. You're really excited when 2191 02:01:05.239 --> 02:01:06.600 I came into the morning, so I found out my 2192 02:01:06.720 --> 02:01:09.319 next guest, Steve Gooden from the law firm of Porter Wright, 2193 02:01:09.439 --> 02:01:10.960 was going to join the program to kind of break 2194 02:01:11.000 --> 02:01:13.800 down this auto pen use and whether or not Biden 2195 02:01:13.880 --> 02:01:16.119 authorized the use or people were using it on his 2196 02:01:16.880 --> 02:01:19.439 without his knowledge. Steve Gooden from Porter Right, Welcome back 2197 02:01:19.439 --> 02:01:20.960 to the program, my friend. It's a pleasure having you 2198 02:01:21.039 --> 02:01:24.520 on today. Likewise, you're boring, Brian, and we'll get to 2199 02:01:24.600 --> 02:01:27.319 the we'll get to it the next subject matter. But congratulations. 2200 02:01:27.359 --> 02:01:29.319 I heard you are running as a charter right for 2201 02:01:29.399 --> 02:01:31.520 since a city council in the upcoming election. I thought 2202 02:01:31.560 --> 02:01:33.439 that was a great development, sir. I know you've been 2203 02:01:33.479 --> 02:01:36.079 in that role before and I wish you all the best. 2204 02:01:36.159 --> 02:01:38.199 But we'll touch touch upon the details of that and 2205 02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:41.079 why you're running next. But let's start with the auto pen. 2206 02:01:43.359 --> 02:01:46.119 There's obviously a lot of concern going around. Joe Biden's 2207 02:01:46.479 --> 02:01:49.399 cognitive deterioration was known by everybody, and it was a 2208 02:01:49.439 --> 02:01:51.800 big cover up. I don't think anybody can argue against that, 2209 02:01:51.880 --> 02:01:55.239 although Summer in a state of denial. But how the 2210 02:01:55.560 --> 02:01:57.920 use of the auto pen I mean, he pardoned or 2211 02:01:58.079 --> 02:02:02.520 commuted the sentence of literally thousands of people. And as 2212 02:02:02.560 --> 02:02:07.119 it's been reported by the New York Times, the lists changed. 2213 02:02:08.239 --> 02:02:11.199 My takeaway from the reporting on that was he set 2214 02:02:11.279 --> 02:02:14.520 a set of criteria for people who could qualify to 2215 02:02:14.640 --> 02:02:16.920 be pardoned, like you know, they're in jail for crack 2216 02:02:17.000 --> 02:02:20.079 cocaine or whatever, and if you met that that sort 2217 02:02:20.119 --> 02:02:22.199 of checklist, then you were added to the list. But 2218 02:02:22.279 --> 02:02:25.199 those lists changed from time to time. He did not 2219 02:02:25.439 --> 02:02:29.000 personally approve of all the people on any given list, 2220 02:02:29.600 --> 02:02:31.600 and the and the list and the pardons were sent over. 2221 02:02:31.680 --> 02:02:33.640 The autopen was used, and it appears as though Joe 2222 02:02:33.640 --> 02:02:37.640 Biden authorized it, But question mark, if he didn't specifically 2223 02:02:37.760 --> 02:02:41.520 authorize it, does that render the pardon null and void? 2224 02:02:41.640 --> 02:02:43.039 Where are we on this, Steve Gooden? 2225 02:02:44.640 --> 02:02:46.960 Well, you know, Brian, it is. It is a thorny 2226 02:02:47.079 --> 02:02:51.880 legal issue that has really not come up ever in 2227 02:02:52.279 --> 02:02:54.920 this way really before because the autopin is a relatively 2228 02:02:55.000 --> 02:02:57.600 new thing. I mean, Biden is really the first president 2229 02:02:57.720 --> 02:03:01.920 in modern times for whom the cognitive decline was a 2230 02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:04.279 serious issue. Now, people did raise it in the later 2231 02:03:04.439 --> 02:03:06.720 days of the Reagan tern, but of course he didn't 2232 02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:09.039 do these mass pardons on the way out the door, 2233 02:03:09.199 --> 02:03:13.000 so that issue specifically did not come up. And really, 2234 02:03:13.039 --> 02:03:15.640 auto pins really have only existed, you know, for the 2235 02:03:15.760 --> 02:03:18.119 last like, you know, thirty forty years, really in a 2236 02:03:18.159 --> 02:03:20.600 way that we're meaningfully used. All we know is this 2237 02:03:20.840 --> 02:03:24.079 the Constitution says, and you know this as a lawyer, 2238 02:03:24.279 --> 02:03:27.560 how important the word shall can be. It shall sign, 2239 02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:31.560 the president shall sign. Now, this issue has never been 2240 02:03:31.640 --> 02:03:33.560 to the Supreme Court. There have just been a little 2241 02:03:33.640 --> 02:03:38.760 legal precedent dealing with autopin use by governors where state 2242 02:03:38.880 --> 02:03:41.720 courts have found that auto pins as long as there's 2243 02:03:41.760 --> 02:03:46.920 some evidence that the criteria was directed by the governor, 2244 02:03:48.119 --> 02:03:50.640 that an autopin signature can be okay, it could be 2245 02:03:50.680 --> 02:03:53.199 an actual delegation of authority. There needs to be some 2246 02:03:53.399 --> 02:03:56.479 evidence that they were aware of it. So really it 2247 02:03:56.560 --> 02:03:59.079 does boiled down to what did Biden know and when 2248 02:03:59.199 --> 02:04:02.359 did he know it? Now, our problem. The problem here 2249 02:04:02.479 --> 02:04:05.920 that the Trump people and James Comer in Congress, who 2250 02:04:05.960 --> 02:04:09.199 was also trying to review and actually have hold hearings 2251 02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:11.479 on this matter, what they're going to probably run into 2252 02:04:12.079 --> 02:04:14.800 is the twenty fifth Amendment, which really is the only 2253 02:04:15.000 --> 02:04:20.079 constitutional mechanism to challenge the president's line state and potential 2254 02:04:20.159 --> 02:04:23.119 dementia and things of that nature. It's pretty clear from 2255 02:04:23.159 --> 02:04:25.880 the limited case law around the twenty fifth Amendment that 2256 02:04:25.960 --> 02:04:30.960 it's not retroactive. Was really means that the frankly, Congress 2257 02:04:31.039 --> 02:04:33.600 should have gone after Biden's mental state while he was 2258 02:04:33.640 --> 02:04:35.760 still in office, and they might have been able to 2259 02:04:35.840 --> 02:04:37.840 make some hay out of it. There's a very specific 2260 02:04:37.960 --> 02:04:41.520 procedure for removing the president under the twenty fifth Amendment, 2261 02:04:41.600 --> 02:04:44.159 and I swear you know it may well have been there. 2262 02:04:44.600 --> 02:04:45.079 We now know. 2263 02:04:45.239 --> 02:04:48.159 I mean, the most untenable part of this for the 2264 02:04:48.239 --> 02:04:52.880 general public is that Biden all but admitted publicly that 2265 02:04:52.960 --> 02:04:56.079 he was not physically or mentally able to campaign for 2266 02:04:56.159 --> 02:04:59.199 a second term, but insisted on serving out the rest 2267 02:04:59.239 --> 02:05:03.079 of this time, which will always raise you know, giant questions, 2268 02:05:03.159 --> 02:05:07.279 just common sense questions to the public. But I mean, look, 2269 02:05:07.319 --> 02:05:10.119 he partnered forty two I've got for what I found 2270 02:05:10.119 --> 02:05:12.199 in the New York Times four two hundred and eighty 2271 02:05:12.239 --> 02:05:16.760 five individuals plusted a mass parton for for folks with 2272 02:05:16.840 --> 02:05:19.439 certain marijuana offenses in federal prison, and they still can't 2273 02:05:19.439 --> 02:05:22.920 tell exactly how many people were pardoned there. So he 2274 02:05:23.039 --> 02:05:26.359 in all likelihood pardon more people than any president in history, 2275 02:05:27.199 --> 02:05:29.600 including his own son, at the very you know, at 2276 02:05:29.640 --> 02:05:32.359 the very end. So it's it's going to be a 2277 02:05:32.439 --> 02:05:34.920 tough one to History is going to be very hard 2278 02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:37.199 on him. Whether we can unravel it now is a 2279 02:05:37.239 --> 02:05:37.720 big question. 2280 02:05:37.840 --> 02:05:38.039 Mark. 2281 02:05:38.239 --> 02:05:41.800 Well, I guess the idea of getting a justiciaal controversy. 2282 02:05:41.920 --> 02:05:44.359 My theory is in getting us in front for a 2283 02:05:44.520 --> 02:05:47.560 court to rule on whether or not any given pardon 2284 02:05:47.680 --> 02:05:50.720 was invalid. A great opportunity exists with Ron Paul going 2285 02:05:50.800 --> 02:05:55.600 after doctor Anthony Fauci or Paul rather. Fauci was given 2286 02:05:55.600 --> 02:05:58.359 a peremptory pardon, and I don't even know if that's legal. 2287 02:05:58.399 --> 02:06:00.640 Maybe you can you can comment on the concept of 2288 02:06:00.720 --> 02:06:03.359 a peremptory pardon. But you know, if you go after 2289 02:06:03.520 --> 02:06:06.119 Fauci and you say you lied to Congress, which is 2290 02:06:06.159 --> 02:06:08.279 a crime, he could be prosecuted for that. Department of 2291 02:06:08.399 --> 02:06:11.119 Justice takes up the case, his defense will be immediately 2292 02:06:11.239 --> 02:06:13.119 to hold up the pardon and say, you can't go 2293 02:06:13.199 --> 02:06:15.560 after me for this some subject to a pardon, at 2294 02:06:15.640 --> 02:06:18.439 which time you could try to enter into evidence or 2295 02:06:18.520 --> 02:06:23.960 discover whether or not Biden actually specifically authorized that peremptory pardon, 2296 02:06:24.079 --> 02:06:25.600 and then it will become an issue for the court. 2297 02:06:25.680 --> 02:06:27.079 I mean, have I got that writer? Is that a 2298 02:06:27.119 --> 02:06:29.079 possible avenue to get this in front of a court? 2299 02:06:30.279 --> 02:06:32.960 Well, I think that's a possible avenue as well as 2300 02:06:33.239 --> 02:06:37.760 the retroactive pardon for uncharged conduct against Sunner Biden. Yeah, 2301 02:06:37.760 --> 02:06:41.760 I mean, these are things that are highly unusual. Usually. Typically, 2302 02:06:41.960 --> 02:06:43.880 you know, the way the pardon has always worked is 2303 02:06:43.920 --> 02:06:46.560 if you have been convicted of a federal effect, the 2304 02:06:46.640 --> 02:06:50.199 president can either pardon you or grant clemency, which is 2305 02:06:50.279 --> 02:06:52.800 kind of a lesser form of wiping it off your record, 2306 02:06:52.840 --> 02:06:55.199 but it's not a true pardon. So there's always it's 2307 02:06:55.199 --> 02:06:57.880 always dont with things that have actually happened, the idea 2308 02:06:57.960 --> 02:07:00.439 that there might have been some mistake in the process, 2309 02:07:00.600 --> 02:07:04.920 or there were selective prosecution, or the person has truly 2310 02:07:05.039 --> 02:07:07.800 turned their life around and rehabilitated themselves. And it was 2311 02:07:07.920 --> 02:07:10.680 like an error they made and youth and most presidents 2312 02:07:10.680 --> 02:07:14.079 have a very you know, robust process for applying for 2313 02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:16.279 a pardon, and it's you know, and it's a big deal. 2314 02:07:17.239 --> 02:07:22.199 The idea of pardoning someone, you know, prospectively or retroactively 2315 02:07:22.319 --> 02:07:25.319 for conduct that hasn't even been charged. We're in new 2316 02:07:25.479 --> 02:07:28.119 territory there, and I think Rand Paul's absolutely right. If 2317 02:07:28.159 --> 02:07:30.359 there's going to be any challenge here, that's where it 2318 02:07:30.359 --> 02:07:33.880 would be. I will say though, that we haven't dug 2319 02:07:33.960 --> 02:07:36.399 into this a little bit. This cold concept of. 2320 02:07:36.479 --> 02:07:37.640 This has been. 2321 02:07:39.119 --> 02:07:43.800 Of kind of deferring to presidents on bending the pardon power. 2322 02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:46.720 Really does go back to Jimmy Carter. You know, the 2323 02:07:46.840 --> 02:07:50.520 Constitution really says nothing about mass pardons, and he was 2324 02:07:50.560 --> 02:07:53.520 the first guy who did a mass pardon of most 2325 02:07:53.600 --> 02:07:55.720 of the folks who had gone to Canada who had 2326 02:07:55.800 --> 02:08:00.319 dodged the draft in Vietnam. He did not appear give 2327 02:08:00.359 --> 02:08:04.079 any individualized consideration to those folks as would be required 2328 02:08:04.159 --> 02:08:06.800 under the constitution. No one challenged it, and those partons 2329 02:08:06.840 --> 02:08:09.560 went through. But then actually Trump, in fairness, did something 2330 02:08:09.680 --> 02:08:11.960 very similar with the January sixth dependence. It looks like 2331 02:08:12.039 --> 02:08:15.079 he partoned about sixteen hundreds of those folks just based 2332 02:08:15.159 --> 02:08:17.239 purely on the fact that they had been arrested that day. 2333 02:08:17.359 --> 02:08:20.279 So we've been kind of the courts have been sitting 2334 02:08:20.319 --> 02:08:23.039 on their hands and letting the presidents sort of expand 2335 02:08:23.199 --> 02:08:25.399 the power. But that doesn't mean it's right, and it 2336 02:08:25.439 --> 02:08:27.439 doesn't mean it's not right for a challenge. 2337 02:08:27.279 --> 02:08:30.239 But the challenge requires standing. And that's why I kind 2338 02:08:30.279 --> 02:08:33.479 of leaned over toward Rand Paul's going after Fauci, because 2339 02:08:33.520 --> 02:08:38.119 there is something there. We do have very very straightforward 2340 02:08:38.199 --> 02:08:40.960 evidence that you know, statements of Fauci. He admitted in 2341 02:08:41.039 --> 02:08:42.720 his own emails that they were doing gain of function 2342 02:08:42.840 --> 02:08:45.279 research in Wuhan, and then he testifies in front of 2343 02:08:45.319 --> 02:08:47.560 Congress that they want were not doing gain of function 2344 02:08:47.680 --> 02:08:50.199 research in Wuhan. So you've got to teed up for 2345 02:08:50.800 --> 02:08:54.640 a justiciable controversy. But in the case of let's say 2346 02:08:54.960 --> 02:08:58.880 the Vietnam Broad Vietnam Power pardon or the January sixth, 2347 02:08:59.159 --> 02:09:01.840 who could challenge that, I mean, who would have standing 2348 02:09:01.920 --> 02:09:03.359 to go in a court and say, no, this is 2349 02:09:03.479 --> 02:09:05.680 not lawful, this is beyond the power of the president 2350 02:09:05.840 --> 02:09:06.000 to do. 2351 02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:09.520 No. I think I think he hit the nail on 2352 02:09:09.560 --> 02:09:13.119 the head really really nobody. I mean, being upset about 2353 02:09:13.159 --> 02:09:16.680 something from a political standpoint or a moral standpoint, you know, 2354 02:09:16.840 --> 02:09:19.279 doesn't as you know, doesn't give you legal standing to 2355 02:09:19.319 --> 02:09:19.960 go into court. 2356 02:09:20.359 --> 02:09:20.520 You know. 2357 02:09:20.760 --> 02:09:23.039 Ram Paul, you know, was a member of Congress, and 2358 02:09:23.119 --> 02:09:26.079 I think there's pretty clear evidence that Fauci lied to 2359 02:09:26.159 --> 02:09:27.920 Congress on multiple occasions. 2360 02:09:28.319 --> 02:09:29.439 I mean, that is a felony. 2361 02:09:30.479 --> 02:09:33.079 And uh, and I presumed when I read that he 2362 02:09:33.239 --> 02:09:36.760 was being pardoned prospectively the idea was to cut off 2363 02:09:36.800 --> 02:09:39.840 any potential liability about whether he lied to Congress, I mean, 2364 02:09:39.920 --> 02:09:42.560 and and I guess and also to the American people 2365 02:09:42.640 --> 02:09:46.720 as a as sort of a predicate to that. So, yeah, 2366 02:09:47.600 --> 02:09:49.119 if Ram Paul is really going to push it, he 2367 02:09:49.159 --> 02:09:51.119 would be as a sitting member of Congress to one 2368 02:09:51.159 --> 02:09:53.920 person who might have some legal standing to actually challenge 2369 02:09:53.920 --> 02:09:55.880 a pardon and go underneath the hood and see what 2370 02:09:56.079 --> 02:09:59.279 really happened. Uh, and to bring some people really before 2371 02:09:59.359 --> 02:10:03.720 Congress to justify about what happened. I will note that Comber, 2372 02:10:04.880 --> 02:10:07.560 congress Man Comber is sort of going that direction. But 2373 02:10:07.680 --> 02:10:09.920 there have been some pretty early indications that the Biden 2374 02:10:09.960 --> 02:10:12.119 people are going to be fighting back in a pretty 2375 02:10:12.359 --> 02:10:15.720 big way. Including you know, I think there've been an 2376 02:10:15.720 --> 02:10:18.640 effort already to setina. One of Biden's doctors, guess who 2377 02:10:18.760 --> 02:10:21.960 was also basically saying, Okay, these conversations are protected. Yeah, 2378 02:10:22.039 --> 02:10:25.600 you know, HIPPA and other privileges. So I think they're 2379 02:10:25.640 --> 02:10:26.079 really going. 2380 02:10:26.079 --> 02:10:26.760 To put up a fight. 2381 02:10:26.880 --> 02:10:29.600 But I think they're you know, I think there is something. 2382 02:10:29.399 --> 02:10:31.760 There well, skating on thin eyes. I mean my retort 2383 02:10:31.840 --> 02:10:33.479 to that, now, it's certainly the fifth member to be 2384 02:10:33.520 --> 02:10:37.279 free of criminal conviction does not cover that doctor for 2385 02:10:37.319 --> 02:10:39.560 a variety of different questions they asked. But in so 2386 02:10:39.680 --> 02:10:42.600 far as the physician patient privilege is concerned, isn't that 2387 02:10:42.800 --> 02:10:46.279 wave when Biden had his records released, when the physician 2388 02:10:46.359 --> 02:10:48.600 did the the review of the president and came out 2389 02:10:48.640 --> 02:10:51.079 to the general world and said, look, although I didn't 2390 02:10:51.079 --> 02:10:53.520 do a cognitive exam, everything else is great. His blood 2391 02:10:53.560 --> 02:10:56.239 pressure is fine, he's healthy. We got no problem. I mean, 2392 02:10:56.520 --> 02:10:58.319 that's a waiver, right there, is it not? 2393 02:11:00.279 --> 02:11:02.600 It could be argued that way. I mean typically, I mean, 2394 02:11:02.640 --> 02:11:05.279 what what what Biden really did was, or what the 2395 02:11:05.319 --> 02:11:07.800 Biden administration did. I'm not even connesced he did this, 2396 02:11:08.640 --> 02:11:11.760 But whoever was pulling the strings cherry picked a lot 2397 02:11:11.800 --> 02:11:14.319 of things from his medical exam to kind of create 2398 02:11:14.359 --> 02:11:18.399 the impression that, you know, that everything was flying cognitively. 2399 02:11:18.520 --> 02:11:20.720 But then, of course, you know, there was the debate 2400 02:11:20.840 --> 02:11:22.840 where it was kind of out there all the world 2401 02:11:22.920 --> 02:11:27.319 to see which which undercut that totally. So I mean, 2402 02:11:27.680 --> 02:11:29.560 that being said, it's really hard to say. I mean, 2403 02:11:29.600 --> 02:11:31.920 there is such a thing as waiver. He would be 2404 02:11:32.000 --> 02:11:34.880 opening the door. If it were a traditional piece of litigation, 2405 02:11:35.399 --> 02:11:39.760 cherry picking that information absolutely would constitute a waiver. But 2406 02:11:40.119 --> 02:11:42.239 you know, in this setting, it's really hard to say. 2407 02:11:42.479 --> 02:11:45.319 But it definitely was done with with an attempt to 2408 02:11:45.399 --> 02:11:49.000 sort of mislead and create a false impression. As we 2409 02:11:49.119 --> 02:11:50.960 all saw at that debate that night. 2410 02:11:51.159 --> 02:11:54.239 Steve Gooden, moving from taking his lawyer hatting off and 2411 02:11:54.359 --> 02:11:56.840 putting on his candidate hat, Steve Gooden forced sin say, 2412 02:11:56.880 --> 02:11:58.960 City Council, we're going to hold Steve over and find 2413 02:11:58.960 --> 02:12:01.239 out why he's running, what he's all about. One more 2414 02:12:01.279 --> 02:12:04.439 segment with the incomparable Steve good In eight sixteen. Right now, first, 2415 02:12:04.840 --> 02:12:07.399 a real positive word for a beautiful, positive place, and 2416 02:12:07.880 --> 02:12:10.560 yes people are buried there, but it's an opportunity to 2417 02:12:10.760 --> 02:12:12.720 just contemplate life and I'm talking about Gate of Heaven 2418 02:12:12.800 --> 02:12:16.800 Cemetery located at Montgomery Ronald Montgomery Road.

Gate of Heaven recognizes 2422 02:12:25.720 --> 02:12:28.640 and reveres the sacredness of every phase of the human journey. 2423 02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:30.359 That's why it's so beautiful that they want you to 2424 02:12:30.439 --> 02:12:34.319 go and contemplate the beauty of life sitting their landscape, surroundings, 2425 02:12:34.359 --> 02:12:38.960 beautiful walking paths, gorgeous gorgeous trees and flowers.

Fifty five krc the talk station 2430 02:12:54.640 --> 02:12:57.520 seven A twenty rather fifty five KRCD talk station Brian 2431 02:12:57.600 --> 02:13:01.640 Thomas or Steve Gooden. I appreciate his legal analysis as 2432 02:13:01.840 --> 02:13:04.600 always thoughtful and insightful. It is moving over. You're going 2433 02:13:04.640 --> 02:13:06.279 to start, you're going to run for Since a city council, 2434 02:13:06.279 --> 02:13:09.760 I saw the charter committee endorse you and four other 2435 02:13:09.920 --> 02:13:12.840 folks to run for the election. So far, I think 2436 02:13:13.000 --> 02:13:16.760 twelve people already qualify, which means they've handed in their signatures. 2437 02:13:16.760 --> 02:13:20.640 You need five hundred signatures. Eight of them are currently incumbents. 2438 02:13:21.000 --> 02:13:23.000 Victoria Parks is not going to be re running, and 2439 02:13:23.039 --> 02:13:25.399 so there are some other candidates out there. You are 2440 02:13:25.479 --> 02:13:29.039 now among them. First, let's start with have you got 2441 02:13:29.079 --> 02:13:31.279 your signatures yet? Are you in the process of gathering 2442 02:13:31.279 --> 02:13:33.600 the signatures? Give until August twenty first to do that. 2443 02:13:35.640 --> 02:13:38.359 That's right, I don't have my signatures completed now. We're 2444 02:13:38.399 --> 02:13:41.760 actually working on that. That's coming together very quickly time, man. 2445 02:13:42.439 --> 02:13:45.199 You know, we have been very gratified by the support 2446 02:13:45.279 --> 02:13:49.239 that we've received there, and that seems to be that's 2447 02:13:49.239 --> 02:13:52.279 the easy part, frankly, and the enjoyable part is great 2448 02:13:52.319 --> 02:13:54.239 going out and talking to people and getting those so 2449 02:13:55.119 --> 02:13:57.119 not done, but we'll have those funs shut within the 2450 02:13:57.119 --> 02:13:57.720 next week or so. 2451 02:13:57.880 --> 02:14:00.439 All right. When you took over Jeff pass through seat, 2452 02:14:00.479 --> 02:14:02.920 we all know the story behind Jeff Pastor, but you 2453 02:14:03.000 --> 02:14:05.680 were appointed to his seat. You serve from twenty twenty 2454 02:14:05.760 --> 02:14:08.680 to twenty twenty two as an appointed Republican, and yet 2455 02:14:08.720 --> 02:14:11.079 you are endorsed by the Charter Committee. So you're running 2456 02:14:11.079 --> 02:14:13.760 as a Charter Right. Remind my listeners what the Charter 2457 02:14:13.920 --> 02:14:16.399 Committee or the Charter Rights stand for. And then how 2458 02:14:16.520 --> 02:14:19.039 is it you chose to run under that moniker? 2459 02:14:20.520 --> 02:14:23.359 Well, well, you know, the Charter Party is the oldest 2460 02:14:24.000 --> 02:14:26.600 municipal third party in the country. It was formed in 2461 02:14:26.800 --> 02:14:31.720 nineteen twenty four to fight back really against one party rule. 2462 02:14:31.840 --> 02:14:34.079 At the time. You had Boss Cox and yeah. 2463 02:14:34.000 --> 02:14:37.720 Back when this was a very republican city and his 2464 02:14:37.920 --> 02:14:40.680 group and he ran the city with an iron fist, 2465 02:14:41.000 --> 02:14:44.359 and there was corruption, Our infrastructure was crumbling, there was 2466 02:14:44.439 --> 02:14:48.079 crime everywhere. Every member of council was one party. I 2467 02:14:48.079 --> 02:14:51.560 don't know if that sounds familiar to anybody, but let's 2468 02:14:51.640 --> 02:14:55.880 going on right now. The Charter Party has over the years, 2469 02:14:56.159 --> 02:14:58.880 you know, has run some incredible candidates. Everyone from Ted 2470 02:14:59.039 --> 02:15:02.239 Airy was the first a American mayor in the late fifties, 2471 02:15:03.159 --> 02:15:05.279 you know, up through you know, folks like Kevin Flynn, 2472 02:15:05.359 --> 02:15:08.039 Devin Barbel. It's always been the kind of common sense, 2473 02:15:08.199 --> 02:15:11.439 good government party that doesn't get involved in national issues, 2474 02:15:11.800 --> 02:15:16.560 focuses solely on municipal issues, public safety, infrastructure, and the 2475 02:15:16.680 --> 02:15:19.439 things that people are really crying out for now and Charter. 2476 02:15:19.640 --> 02:15:21.880 I've always been involved with the Charter Party for the 2477 02:15:21.960 --> 02:15:24.199 last twenty years. They've endorsed me every time i've run. 2478 02:15:25.039 --> 02:15:26.920 It's kind of taken a back seat in the last 2479 02:15:27.000 --> 02:15:30.119 couple of cycles because of the emphasis, even in local 2480 02:15:30.199 --> 02:15:34.640 elections on national issues. But our feeling this year was 2481 02:15:34.960 --> 02:15:39.159 that this is the time when purely Cincinnati issues have 2482 02:15:39.239 --> 02:15:41.560 come to the forefront. The folks that are running sat 2483 02:15:41.600 --> 02:15:44.520 Hall right now, from the administration to the mayor to 2484 02:15:44.640 --> 02:15:47.439 the city council members, they think they're running San Francisco, 2485 02:15:48.159 --> 02:15:51.319 and they're not. They're running Cincinnati. And really a lot 2486 02:15:51.359 --> 02:15:53.439 of the folks involved in the Charter movement are what 2487 02:15:53.520 --> 02:15:56.680 we used to call blue dog democrats. They're common sense democrats. 2488 02:15:56.720 --> 02:16:00.399 They're people who just just can't take it anymore. They're 2489 02:16:00.439 --> 02:16:03.079 sick about the spiraling crime rates and over the run 2490 02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:06.119 in downtown and in most of our neighborhoods. They're sick 2491 02:16:06.159 --> 02:16:09.279 about this connected communities nonsense, which is just a total 2492 02:16:09.319 --> 02:16:12.319 attack on single family home ownership. They're sick about the 2493 02:16:12.680 --> 02:16:15.279 state of the roads, and they're really just sick about 2494 02:16:15.319 --> 02:16:19.760 City Hall not listening. So this is we feel this 2495 02:16:19.920 --> 02:16:22.319 is the time to bring the Charter party back and 2496 02:16:22.399 --> 02:16:26.000 to just absolutely pull the focus back on the common 2497 02:16:26.119 --> 02:16:31.239 sense Cincinnati specific issues, fixing our police staffing problem, fixing 2498 02:16:31.279 --> 02:16:34.639 our police morale problem, fixing our fire department, and putting 2499 02:16:34.719 --> 02:16:37.600 the money we do have into things that people care about, 2500 02:16:37.719 --> 02:16:39.719 like public safety and fixing our roads. 2501 02:16:40.200 --> 02:16:42.280 Well, it all sounds great to me, Steve Gooden, and 2502 02:16:42.360 --> 02:16:44.200 I know you stand for logic and reason and you 2503 02:16:44.239 --> 02:16:46.959 will be an outstanding addition to Sin Sai City Council. 2504 02:16:47.559 --> 02:16:49.479 We'll have you on more to talk about your race 2505 02:16:49.520 --> 02:16:51.399 when you get everything up and running. Obviously you're going 2506 02:16:51.440 --> 02:16:53.399 to get your five hundred signatures, There's no question in 2507 02:16:53.440 --> 02:16:55.680 my mind about that. So when you get a website 2508 02:16:55.719 --> 02:16:58.200 up and running, you need help, need contributions, need people 2509 02:16:58.280 --> 02:17:00.879 dorm door knocking. You come on the five Cadcy Morning 2510 02:17:00.879 --> 02:17:01.959 Show will spread the word on that. 2511 02:17:03.879 --> 02:17:05.799 Thank you so much, Brandon. Look, I can't tell you 2512 02:17:05.920 --> 02:17:08.120 what it means for you to take the time to 2513 02:17:08.200 --> 02:17:10.479 talk about these city issues. A lot of people had 2514 02:17:10.559 --> 02:17:12.879 given up on the city right now, and they should not. 2515 02:17:13.120 --> 02:17:16.440 There is a common sense coalition emerging here with both 2516 02:17:16.520 --> 02:17:19.399 parties to try to take this back. So thank you 2517 02:17:19.479 --> 02:17:19.799 so much. 2518 02:17:19.840 --> 02:17:19.959 For this. 2519 02:17:20.200 --> 02:17:22.319 Oh listen, man, it's my pleasure. I mean when I 2520 02:17:22.399 --> 02:17:27.440 see representative government fail as epically as city council and 2521 02:17:27.479 --> 02:17:30.239 the mayor has failed the citizens of the City of Cincinnati. 2522 02:17:30.319 --> 02:17:34.000 Most notably, they screwed everybody, everybody, foisting connected communities on 2523 02:17:34.120 --> 02:17:36.040 an every neighborhood. And then look what they did the 2524 02:17:36.120 --> 02:17:38.639 Hyde Park. They gave this well connected developer a waiver 2525 02:17:38.879 --> 02:17:41.440 for the very program they foisted on everybody, so they 2526 02:17:41.479 --> 02:17:44.200 could completely transform the dynamic of High Park Square in 2527 02:17:44.280 --> 02:17:46.879 the face of the vast majority of folks that live 2528 02:17:46.879 --> 02:17:49.440 in Hyde Parks opposition to that. I mean, that's a 2529 02:17:49.520 --> 02:17:51.559 failure of representative government period. 2530 02:17:53.639 --> 02:17:56.520 It was a disgrace, yes, and those folks are very 2531 02:17:56.639 --> 02:17:59.399 fired up. Those are people who had voted for and 2532 02:17:59.520 --> 02:18:02.879 supported this council when you study the last election results, 2533 02:18:03.239 --> 02:18:05.360 who I think are going to take a very very 2534 02:18:05.440 --> 02:18:08.000 different approach right now. I mean, this group is as 2535 02:18:08.040 --> 02:18:11.200 simple as this, This group they're bad at government. It's 2536 02:18:11.280 --> 02:18:11.799 that simple. 2537 02:18:12.120 --> 02:18:14.559 Amen to that, Let's get Steve good and elected and 2538 02:18:14.760 --> 02:18:17.440 improve government in City of Cincinnati.

Friday Eve, 2566 02:19:36.479 --> 02:19:38.360 It is that time of week I always look forward to. 2567 02:19:38.559 --> 02:19:41.360 I heard me The aviation expert Jay Ratlow joins the 2568 02:19:41.399 --> 02:19:44.440 program of talk Aviation issues. Of course, that's his area 2569 02:19:44.479 --> 02:19:47.959 of expertise that in stock trading. Nice couple of days 2570 02:19:48.000 --> 02:19:50.079 you had there. He always lets me tell out that 2571 02:19:50.239 --> 02:19:54.600 he makes, which cracks me up. You doing a good job, Jay, Well, I. 2572 02:19:54.719 --> 02:19:56.760 Just see it's a bit it's patients that I teach 2573 02:19:56.799 --> 02:19:59.319 my students. If you can just be patient, the opportunities 2574 02:19:59.360 --> 02:20:01.920 are there. And you know, my students sometimes will send 2575 02:20:01.920 --> 02:20:04.159 me an email, Jay, only made six percent here, and they're. 2576 02:20:04.040 --> 02:20:07.280 Ticked, and I'm like, what you'll do would take to 2577 02:20:07.319 --> 02:20:07.920 make six. 2578 02:20:07.840 --> 02:20:10.159 Percent using anything else? Anywhere else? 2579 02:20:10.239 --> 02:20:10.399 Though? 2580 02:20:10.719 --> 02:20:13.680 Yeah, Sometimes when your expectations are high, you have you 2581 02:20:13.760 --> 02:20:16.159 know a little bit you two tip. It's like you 2582 02:20:16.440 --> 02:20:19.719 you know you've got high expectations of yourself, and you know, 2583 02:20:19.799 --> 02:20:23.200 anything less than that you don't find totally satisfactory. I 2584 02:20:23.239 --> 02:20:25.520 spend a lot of time reminding my students that you 2585 02:20:25.600 --> 02:20:28.200 know when you're doing what other people consider impossible. Yeah, 2586 02:20:28.440 --> 02:20:31.399 I appreciate every win because those smaller. 2587 02:20:31.120 --> 02:20:31.719 Gains that up. 2588 02:20:31.920 --> 02:20:34.959 Good point, Jay, good point. I always appreciate your optimism too. 2589 02:20:35.600 --> 02:20:37.120 Let us start if you don't mind what's going out 2590 02:20:37.200 --> 02:20:39.239 order here, because the Air India crash has got all 2591 02:20:39.280 --> 02:20:42.399 the rage, we get this initial report that suggests the 2592 02:20:42.559 --> 02:20:46.639 one of the two pilots turned the fuel switches off. 2593 02:20:47.200 --> 02:20:49.559 There are switches in the airplane which allow you to 2594 02:20:49.639 --> 02:20:51.840 cut the fuel to the engines. Now you may want 2595 02:20:51.840 --> 02:20:54.600 to explain the reason why those even exist, but there's 2596 02:20:54.680 --> 02:20:57.639 it's I guess fairly well confirmed that the flight data 2597 02:20:57.719 --> 02:21:01.319 recorder indicates that those switches were turned off shortly after takeoff. 2598 02:21:01.719 --> 02:21:03.600 One of the pilots asked the other one why he 2599 02:21:03.760 --> 02:21:05.760 did that, and he claimed he did not do that. 2600 02:21:06.200 --> 02:21:07.840 There was an effort to turn the switches back on, 2601 02:21:07.959 --> 02:21:11.159 but by then it was too late. What this I mean? 2602 02:21:11.239 --> 02:21:14.120 It's sounding intentional, Jay, And this wouldn't be the first 2603 02:21:14.239 --> 02:21:19.440 intentional murder slash suicide that's happened on aircraft before it 2604 02:21:19.520 --> 02:21:19.879 would not. 2605 02:21:20.040 --> 02:21:23.520 Be And obviously we're talking about the initial report that 2606 02:21:23.959 --> 02:21:28.440 was just a few weeks after the accident itself, and 2607 02:21:28.840 --> 02:21:30.000 the final report. 2608 02:21:29.840 --> 02:21:31.920 Is a good twelve months or so down the road. 2609 02:21:32.000 --> 02:21:36.799 But the fuel control switches, there are times when you 2610 02:21:36.879 --> 02:21:40.040 do need to cut the fuel flow to a specific 2611 02:21:40.159 --> 02:21:40.920 engine if. 2612 02:21:40.840 --> 02:21:41.760 You're having problems with it. 2613 02:21:42.200 --> 02:21:46.680 And there's two switches and they's spring controlled, spring loaded, 2614 02:21:46.719 --> 02:21:48.040 I guess is a better way to phrase it. 2615 02:21:48.360 --> 02:21:50.639 And you just grab it and you pull it straight. 2616 02:21:50.399 --> 02:21:52.440 Out and then over a little thing in the middle 2617 02:21:52.440 --> 02:21:54.760 and then drop it back into place again with the 2618 02:21:54.799 --> 02:21:56.680 assistance of the spring, so you can't. 2619 02:21:56.559 --> 02:21:58.879 Bump it off. That's I mean. The point is, yeah, 2620 02:21:59.079 --> 02:22:03.680 it requires is a specific mechanical action that pulling out component. 2621 02:22:03.959 --> 02:22:05.360 Right, And there's two black boxes. 2622 02:22:05.440 --> 02:22:08.639 The flight data recorder is what investigators were able to 2623 02:22:08.719 --> 02:22:13.360 glean the information from That said, shortly after rotation, in 2624 02:22:13.399 --> 02:22:17.680 other words, just as the wheels left the runway is 2625 02:22:17.799 --> 02:22:22.200 when they were put into the off position, and you 2626 02:22:22.319 --> 02:22:24.879 can hear that on the cockpit voice recorder, which is 2627 02:22:25.000 --> 02:22:27.559 just not the voices, but you could hear the click 2628 02:22:28.200 --> 02:22:31.879 of each one of those being put in or repositioned 2629 02:22:32.319 --> 02:22:35.680 one after the other, and because of the location, there 2630 02:22:35.719 --> 02:22:37.719 would be something you would do one at a time. 2631 02:22:38.639 --> 02:22:41.000 Left to right is typically how the flight crew would 2632 02:22:41.000 --> 02:22:44.239 do it, but hero is a situation where you don't 2633 02:22:44.319 --> 02:22:48.000 know why it took place. Now, a lot of times, 2634 02:22:48.559 --> 02:22:51.479 as a matter of procedure, if you're flying the airplane, 2635 02:22:51.520 --> 02:22:53.200 when you get to the gate, one of the last 2636 02:22:53.239 --> 02:22:55.719 things you'll do is cut the fuel to the engines. 2637 02:22:55.760 --> 02:22:59.440 It's just a precautionary measure. Stop the float to the 2638 02:22:59.520 --> 02:23:03.600 aircraft engine, just part of the protocol. There might be 2639 02:23:03.719 --> 02:23:05.680 times in flight where you've got a problem with an 2640 02:23:05.680 --> 02:23:08.639 engine and you need to cut one or even both 2641 02:23:08.719 --> 02:23:11.040 off at a specific time, but Brian, you. 2642 02:23:11.159 --> 02:23:12.680 Never do it right after takeoffs. 2643 02:23:13.159 --> 02:23:17.239 And they were in the off position reportedly from this 2644 02:23:17.360 --> 02:23:21.680 initial report for about ten seconds before they were put back. 2645 02:23:22.239 --> 02:23:26.079 One of the engines started to respond, but sixty second 2646 02:23:26.120 --> 02:23:29.559 flight they didn't have nearly enough time. But the Wall 2647 02:23:29.559 --> 02:23:33.079 Street Journal reported that the pilot that apparently did it 2648 02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:37.200 is considered to be the captain. Now, I know a 2649 02:23:37.280 --> 02:23:39.840 lot of times the thought was, okay, could have been 2650 02:23:39.920 --> 02:23:43.000 this junior first officer, But you know, the junior first 2651 02:23:43.000 --> 02:23:45.280 officer was one that was flying the airplane. His hands 2652 02:23:45.319 --> 02:23:48.600 were full. You've got the captain that was monitoring, because 2653 02:23:48.639 --> 02:23:50.520 the pilot and command at that point in time of 2654 02:23:50.559 --> 02:23:54.879 the aircraft was the first officer, and apparently it was 2655 02:23:55.079 --> 02:23:57.200 him that looked to the captain and said, why do 2656 02:23:57.239 --> 02:24:00.680 you turn those offs, to which he responded he did not. Now, 2657 02:24:01.040 --> 02:24:04.360 could it be something where he did something where he was. 2658 02:24:04.360 --> 02:24:05.280 Thinking something else? 2659 02:24:05.840 --> 02:24:10.040 Typically not, because when that procedure happens, it's a it's 2660 02:24:10.040 --> 02:24:13.000 a it's a process where you say you're about to 2661 02:24:13.040 --> 02:24:16.159 do it, the other pilot uh, you know, confirms, and 2662 02:24:16.280 --> 02:24:19.360 then the action is done. The fingers put on the 2663 02:24:20.520 --> 02:24:23.639 switch and again it's communicated, you know, cutting power to 2664 02:24:23.719 --> 02:24:26.920 engine two done. It's a back and forth thing where 2665 02:24:27.200 --> 02:24:30.440 you don't have one pilot acting on their own. It's 2666 02:24:30.520 --> 02:24:35.639 a team effort in everything. So sadly, this latest revelation 2667 02:24:35.799 --> 02:24:38.920 and the one from the initial report could suggest that 2668 02:24:39.799 --> 02:24:42.959 we could go through this entire year long investigation. 2669 02:24:43.079 --> 02:24:45.639 And not really have a good idea of why it happened. 2670 02:24:46.040 --> 02:24:49.319 But we know what took place, but the why aspect 2671 02:24:49.399 --> 02:24:50.120 of it not. 2672 02:24:50.360 --> 02:24:52.479 Now, this is going to be something that you can 2673 02:24:52.559 --> 02:24:54.920 hear a lot of people talking about why we need 2674 02:24:55.040 --> 02:24:59.200 a cameras in the cockpit, which pilots are dead set against. 2675 02:24:59.280 --> 02:25:00.520 I think that they be there. 2676 02:25:00.600 --> 02:25:04.040 They're in trains and buses and all these other kinds 2677 02:25:04.040 --> 02:25:07.760 of things everywhere, So don't I don't you know, I 2678 02:25:07.799 --> 02:25:09.920 don't agree with that at all. But the other thing 2679 02:25:10.040 --> 02:25:12.239 that is going to be pushing here is, oh, here 2680 02:25:12.319 --> 02:25:15.239 we go, Jay, yet another crash, another loss of life 2681 02:25:15.639 --> 02:25:18.479 due to pilot air And isn't it time that we 2682 02:25:18.600 --> 02:25:21.680 have more automation in the cockpit? Yea, that we can 2683 02:25:21.799 --> 02:25:25.639 have fewer pilots. And even though I'm against the idea, 2684 02:25:25.840 --> 02:25:27.719 it's a fair argument to have. 2685 02:25:28.000 --> 02:25:30.799 Well, yeah, and you know, Holman Jenkins made that argument today. 2686 02:25:30.840 --> 02:25:33.200 He just brought up the concept. But we wouldn't have 2687 02:25:33.319 --> 02:25:36.120 to completely remove the pilots to incorporate automation. One of 2688 02:25:36.159 --> 02:25:38.559 the suggestions he had was, why not have you know, 2689 02:25:38.719 --> 02:25:41.239 ground based ability to take over control of the flight. Well, 2690 02:25:41.280 --> 02:25:44.360 that doesn't eliminate human error, but how about artificial intelligence? 2691 02:25:44.399 --> 02:25:47.000 You know, like the seven thirty seven Max software upgrade 2692 02:25:47.040 --> 02:25:49.680 that they didn't bother telling pilots about to have AI. 2693 02:25:50.360 --> 02:25:53.120 Scream at the pilots you're doing it? Wrong, or do 2694 02:25:53.360 --> 02:25:55.639 this rather than what you're doing, or stop what you 2695 02:25:55.760 --> 02:25:58.799 are doing. I mean that seems like an easy extension 2696 02:25:58.840 --> 02:25:59.959 of the intelligence we already had. 2697 02:26:00.200 --> 02:26:04.120 Now well, and it's there because you know, when Air 2698 02:26:04.159 --> 02:26:06.000 India flight took off, there was a lot of people 2699 02:26:06.079 --> 02:26:09.600 saying that the flaps weren't in the proper sets for takeoff. 2700 02:26:10.120 --> 02:26:11.440 And I'm thinking, well, then. 2701 02:26:11.360 --> 02:26:15.680 You're ignoring a very loud screeching sound in the cockpit 2702 02:26:16.120 --> 02:26:18.639 because that aircraft is going to tell you the flaps 2703 02:26:18.680 --> 02:26:21.079 are not set for takeoff as you're starting to roll. 2704 02:26:21.200 --> 02:26:24.879 So that's something that we already have. So we've got 2705 02:26:25.440 --> 02:26:30.200 the automation, the protective systems within the cockpit and avi 2706 02:26:30.319 --> 02:26:33.319 onyx that we have as a package on a lot 2707 02:26:33.360 --> 02:26:35.879 of different aspects of the operation. You don't have the 2708 02:26:36.000 --> 02:26:38.719 landing gear down as you approach the ground and alarm sounds. 2709 02:26:38.799 --> 02:26:42.319 All these things are there to help the pilots who 2710 02:26:42.360 --> 02:26:44.280 may have a lot of things going on to remember 2711 02:26:44.360 --> 02:26:48.360 to do specific things, but something like that, you know, 2712 02:26:48.520 --> 02:26:53.000 to not you know, plus the engines are humming and 2713 02:26:53.159 --> 02:26:56.559 you at that point of rotation, they're mum room. 2714 02:26:56.680 --> 02:26:57.399 I mean they've got that. 2715 02:26:57.600 --> 02:27:00.920 Deep rumble and you cut the power on those you're 2716 02:27:00.959 --> 02:27:03.040 immediately going to know it because they're going to start 2717 02:27:03.079 --> 02:27:06.200 to spool down, So that in itself is an audio 2718 02:27:06.920 --> 02:27:10.200 alert that something's wrong. So we have some of that 2719 02:27:10.280 --> 02:27:14.520 stuff built in that's there, But you know, if somebody's intent, 2720 02:27:14.639 --> 02:27:17.559 I don't care. If the ground does have the capability 2721 02:27:17.639 --> 02:27:21.239 to take over, there's always going to be a way 2722 02:27:21.319 --> 02:27:24.479 on board for the aircraft crew members to override it 2723 02:27:24.840 --> 02:27:28.520 if there's something else that's going ongoing that maybe isn't 2724 02:27:29.040 --> 02:27:32.399 initially detected. So there's a lot of questions here, and 2725 02:27:32.520 --> 02:27:34.040 we're gonna have to wait and see where things go. 2726 02:27:34.120 --> 02:27:34.840 They're looking into the. 2727 02:27:34.840 --> 02:27:37.120 Mental health of the pilots, and a lot of pilot 2728 02:27:37.239 --> 02:27:39.360 union people have talked to and I have students that 2729 02:27:39.440 --> 02:27:42.159 are commercial pilots are saying, you know, let's be very 2730 02:27:42.239 --> 02:27:44.319 slow as we rush the judgment here. 2731 02:27:44.760 --> 02:27:47.719 And I certainly agree that we need to do that, 2732 02:27:48.079 --> 02:27:50.479 but it does not look good. 2733 02:27:50.600 --> 02:27:53.399 And the way you honor the lives of people that 2734 02:27:53.600 --> 02:27:56.000 were lost is okay. If it was a mechanical situation, 2735 02:27:56.159 --> 02:27:59.360 let's fix it and move on. When it involves possible 2736 02:27:59.399 --> 02:28:00.959 mental health, that's. 2737 02:28:00.799 --> 02:28:01.920 A totally different post. 2738 02:28:02.559 --> 02:28:04.280 And then you're looking at your crew members when they 2739 02:28:04.319 --> 02:28:06.559 get on like okay, are you okay to fly today? 2740 02:28:06.639 --> 02:28:09.479 And that's an unsettling thought. 2741 02:28:10.040 --> 02:28:12.879 It is certainly an unsettling thought. And maybe when something 2742 02:28:13.000 --> 02:28:15.159 like that outside of the ability of a non medical 2743 02:28:15.200 --> 02:28:19.040 professional to clearly assess. Let's bring Jay Ratliffe back out 2744 02:28:19.079 --> 02:28:21.920 more to talk about including idiots doing idiot things because 2745 02:28:21.920 --> 02:28:23.920 they're idiots. It's eight thirty nine right now. If you 2746 02:28:23.959 --> 02:28:28.120 have kc DE talk station fifty five KRC, did you pass? 2747 02:28:29.040 --> 02:28:32.719 I heard me the aviation expert Jay Radboff moving away 2748 02:28:33.000 --> 02:28:34.840 real quick here before we pass on air Andy. I 2749 02:28:34.879 --> 02:28:36.239 just got to ask it because it came up earlier 2750 02:28:36.280 --> 02:28:39.719 in the conversations this morning with listeners. Do they ever 2751 02:28:39.799 --> 02:28:42.319 do any follow up mental health screenings of pilots like 2752 02:28:42.360 --> 02:28:44.479 throughout their career, like hey, every year you got to 2753 02:28:44.520 --> 02:28:46.680 come in and do a psych check or something like that. 2754 02:28:47.760 --> 02:28:52.280 Now we have the overall fitness part of it, the 2755 02:28:52.360 --> 02:28:56.879 mental health aspect is encouraged, but unless it's depending on 2756 02:28:56.959 --> 02:29:00.719 an airline and something, I'm not a way where most 2757 02:29:00.719 --> 02:29:03.639 of the time it is not there as needed. And 2758 02:29:04.040 --> 02:29:06.239 fortunately there's a lot of pilots that take advantage of that. 2759 02:29:06.440 --> 02:29:09.440 And you know why, pilots would be considered immune from 2760 02:29:09.479 --> 02:29:11.920 all the things that impact all of us and all 2761 02:29:11.959 --> 02:29:13.879 these other different professions. 2762 02:29:13.920 --> 02:29:16.159 I mean, obviously those men and women go through a lot. 2763 02:29:16.360 --> 02:29:20.200 So yeah, it's there for them as they need and 2764 02:29:20.559 --> 02:29:22.559 fortunate a lot of people take advantage. 2765 02:29:22.120 --> 02:29:24.479 Of it, all right, And why would someone punch a 2766 02:29:24.600 --> 02:29:27.159 United Airlines gate agent Jay Ratliffe. 2767 02:29:28.159 --> 02:29:34.920 Well, normally alcohol is involved. This was at the Washington 2768 02:29:34.959 --> 02:29:37.159 and A Dallas Airport. You had a delayed flight, and 2769 02:29:37.559 --> 02:29:39.959 anytime you have a really delayed flight, you know people 2770 02:29:40.000 --> 02:29:43.479 are going to be spending time relaxing alcohol. And there 2771 02:29:43.559 --> 02:29:45.159 was a man that came up. He started yelling at 2772 02:29:45.200 --> 02:29:48.000 the gate agent. He actually took his boarding passes that 2773 02:29:48.079 --> 02:29:51.319 I refused to fly, tore it up, and then storm back. 2774 02:29:51.280 --> 02:29:53.760 To the ticket counter demanded another one. Well, but the. 2775 02:29:53.879 --> 02:29:56.760 Captain is aware of some of this, it's ongoing. So 2776 02:29:56.920 --> 02:29:59.840 the captain you know, shows up and pulls up the 2777 02:30:00.040 --> 02:30:02.159 the passenger off to the side and says, you're not 2778 02:30:02.399 --> 02:30:05.680 flying on this airplane. I mean, it's just we'll help 2779 02:30:05.719 --> 02:30:07.959 you on another flight, but you're not gonna be on 2780 02:30:08.040 --> 02:30:10.159 my aircraft. Well, the guy gets mad and walks over 2781 02:30:10.239 --> 02:30:13.440 to the gate agent and punches him and knocks the 2782 02:30:13.840 --> 02:30:16.959 gate agent out. Well, the passengers arrested off he goes. 2783 02:30:17.479 --> 02:30:19.920 He could have faced ten years in prison, two hundred 2784 02:30:19.920 --> 02:30:24.399 and fifty thousand dollars fine, as these always are, it's 2785 02:30:24.520 --> 02:30:26.879 flea dealed down where I think he had to pay 2786 02:30:26.920 --> 02:30:30.520 fifteen thousand to the gate agent he knocked out. He 2787 02:30:30.639 --> 02:30:32.959 will face the fine from the FAA, be banned from 2788 02:30:33.000 --> 02:30:36.399 flying United Airlines ever again. But you know he can 2789 02:30:36.440 --> 02:30:39.799 fly Delta tomorrow, Yes, the next day, all these other 2790 02:30:39.920 --> 02:30:44.079 US carriers. A man who's proven to be a threat 2791 02:30:44.280 --> 02:30:49.079 to fellow passengers and other crew members, perhaps it's allowed 2792 02:30:49.120 --> 02:30:52.399 to fly. And I just I think that's wrong. Now, 2793 02:30:52.520 --> 02:30:55.360 if it's a situation where they get in an argument, disagreement, 2794 02:30:55.680 --> 02:30:58.120 you know, blah blah. Okay, I get that, we don't 2795 02:30:58.159 --> 02:31:00.559 want to ban somebody like that. To me, here's a 2796 02:31:00.799 --> 02:31:03.000 very clear case. You can't put them on the terror 2797 02:31:03.079 --> 02:31:06.159 watch list, but a clear case of where okay, you've 2798 02:31:06.239 --> 02:31:10.280 lost your flying privileges, which is what it is. It 2799 02:31:10.399 --> 02:31:13.440 is for a year, for two years something where there's 2800 02:31:13.520 --> 02:31:17.600 some significance with regards to consequences, and Brian, it just 2801 02:31:17.680 --> 02:31:23.079 doesn't exist because airlines aren't willing to create something like 2802 02:31:23.200 --> 02:31:25.680 that because it's at a cost for them to create 2803 02:31:25.719 --> 02:31:28.840 that kind of database, manage that database to keep these 2804 02:31:28.920 --> 02:31:29.959 individuals off the fly. 2805 02:31:30.760 --> 02:31:33.399 All right, well, I guess Delta Airlines is looking to 2806 02:31:33.440 --> 02:31:36.239 maximize profits. Now they're going to be using artificial intelligence 2807 02:31:36.280 --> 02:31:37.920 to do that. Jay Ratliff will come back and tell 2808 02:31:38.000 --> 02:31:40.879 us how that's going to work.

How are they using AI 2846 02:33:30.600 --> 02:33:32.559 to maximize their profits? 2847 02:33:32.680 --> 02:33:35.639 Jay, Well, you know, most of the time, and for decades, 2848 02:33:35.680 --> 02:33:39.360 airlines abuse what we call a static pricing model for 2849 02:33:39.520 --> 02:33:42.120 their pricing and their seats. So so x percentage at 2850 02:33:42.159 --> 02:33:45.879 this low price, and then a slightly lower percent at 2851 02:33:45.920 --> 02:33:48.440 a higher price, and it goes from there and as 2852 02:33:48.520 --> 02:33:52.559 each one's ticked off the available seats, the fare goes up. Well, 2853 02:33:52.639 --> 02:33:55.440 Delta has been using over the last several years artificial 2854 02:33:55.559 --> 02:33:58.159 intelligence as a way to kind of boost their profits. 2855 02:33:58.399 --> 02:34:02.760 Now they're saying, we're doing this because it gives the 2856 02:34:03.000 --> 02:34:06.959 customer the price they're willing to pay. So it's they're 2857 02:34:07.000 --> 02:34:09.959 saying it's a good thing for consumers. Now, this is 2858 02:34:10.040 --> 02:34:12.879 also the same airline that was caught charging more for 2859 02:34:12.959 --> 02:34:16.200 a single traveler than for a couple traveling on the 2860 02:34:16.239 --> 02:34:20.040 same route, so sometimes up to seventy percent more So, 2861 02:34:20.479 --> 02:34:23.799 am I going to necessarily believe that this increase in 2862 02:34:24.120 --> 02:34:28.799 AI pricing is for my benefit? No, it's it's for 2863 02:34:28.959 --> 02:34:31.479 profit and Delta right now is planning as much as 2864 02:34:31.559 --> 02:34:34.959 twenty percent of their fares to be based on artificial 2865 02:34:35.040 --> 02:34:39.040 intelligence pricing. And obviously Delta right now is leading the 2866 02:34:39.120 --> 02:34:43.280 pack with regards to the revenue their performance. They're just 2867 02:34:43.360 --> 02:34:46.159 a very very well ran airline and they will be 2868 02:34:46.319 --> 02:34:48.520 setting the pace for other airlines because they'll follow this 2869 02:34:48.680 --> 02:34:52.639 as well. So artificial intelligence as it's in its infancy, 2870 02:34:52.719 --> 02:34:55.719 if you will, and a lot of aspects and businesses. 2871 02:34:55.799 --> 02:34:59.040 It's the exact same thing here where airlines can use 2872 02:34:59.159 --> 02:35:03.600 this a for pricing, they're certainly using it for customer 2873 02:35:03.680 --> 02:35:07.040 service where they have artificial intelligence responding to people as 2874 02:35:07.079 --> 02:35:10.319 they have various questions and things. And it's back to 2875 02:35:10.840 --> 02:35:13.479 the more technology we have, the cheaper it will be 2876 02:35:13.639 --> 02:35:15.760 for us because we do not have to worry about 2877 02:35:16.079 --> 02:35:19.200 employee costs and benefits and all the things that go 2878 02:35:19.319 --> 02:35:22.639 with that. And yeah, they're running in this direction as 2879 02:35:22.680 --> 02:35:25.319 fast as they can. So but I love Delta, they 2880 02:35:25.360 --> 02:35:27.280 are my carrier of choice, But I am not going 2881 02:35:27.360 --> 02:35:30.799 to believe artificial intelligence that being put in place for. 2882 02:35:31.000 --> 02:35:32.200 My benefit of pricing. 2883 02:35:33.040 --> 02:35:33.920 That's a safe bet. 2884 02:35:34.040 --> 02:35:34.239 Jay. 2885 02:35:35.280 --> 02:35:39.079 Now, I guess the AI will probably be performing some 2886 02:35:39.200 --> 02:35:42.239 sort of actuarial analysis in order to determine pricing, Like 2887 02:35:42.319 --> 02:35:44.760 I guess, they could figure out which flights to which 2888 02:35:44.840 --> 02:35:47.719 destination typically have more business travelers and those are the 2889 02:35:47.719 --> 02:35:49.319 ones that are willing to pay the most money for 2890 02:35:49.399 --> 02:35:52.520 a ticket, as opposed to like maybe holiday destinations where 2891 02:35:52.520 --> 02:35:54.440 people have the luxury to plan a year in advance 2892 02:35:54.479 --> 02:35:55.319 for their flight. 2893 02:35:56.319 --> 02:35:58.479 And it can also look back to what Jay's paid 2894 02:35:58.520 --> 02:36:02.559 on previous tickets, so it's already got an idea of 2895 02:36:02.639 --> 02:36:05.959 what is comfortable for me and what is not. So 2896 02:36:06.479 --> 02:36:09.559 with that kind of mindset, the thought is, well, you know, 2897 02:36:09.760 --> 02:36:12.680 Jay and Sherry paid this for this trip on this day, 2898 02:36:12.879 --> 02:36:16.479 So even though the actual fare could be maybe lower, 2899 02:36:16.799 --> 02:36:18.360 you know, wow, it's out there. 2900 02:36:18.840 --> 02:36:21.600 I mean, the possibilities are endless. 2901 02:36:21.760 --> 02:36:23.680 Oh without question where they. 2902 02:36:23.639 --> 02:36:25.920 Could go with this, And if they're going to base 2903 02:36:26.040 --> 02:36:29.399 it on individuals, then what they're telling me is, Jay, 2904 02:36:29.399 --> 02:36:30.920 we're going to look at your spending habits, we're going 2905 02:36:30.959 --> 02:36:33.399 to look at your travel preferences. We're gonna blah blah 2906 02:36:33.440 --> 02:36:36.200 blah blah blah, and that's the package that you're going 2907 02:36:36.239 --> 02:36:37.680 to be presented. No, I want to be able to 2908 02:36:37.719 --> 02:36:39.920 look across the way and you know, see what's the 2909 02:36:40.000 --> 02:36:42.799 best fair that I can give, schedule those types of things. 2910 02:36:42.879 --> 02:36:46.840 But we all have different travel patterns and as a result, 2911 02:36:47.120 --> 02:36:49.200 sometimes it's how you pay for your ticket, or how 2912 02:36:49.239 --> 02:36:51.600 far in advance you make your reservation, or do you 2913 02:36:51.680 --> 02:36:54.040 fly one way around trip more often than that. I mean, 2914 02:36:54.079 --> 02:36:57.000 there's so many factors that go into you know, the 2915 02:36:57.559 --> 02:37:04.319 the behind the scenes logistics, if you will, of someone's travel. 2916 02:37:04.479 --> 02:37:06.600 Yeah, habits that a lot of. 2917 02:37:06.639 --> 02:37:09.799 This stuff can be fed into this artificial intelligence that 2918 02:37:10.000 --> 02:37:13.879 can better match me for what I'm looking for, which, sadly, 2919 02:37:13.959 --> 02:37:17.520 I think my opinion could cause me sometimes to overpay 2920 02:37:17.559 --> 02:37:18.920 for something I shouldn't. 2921 02:37:18.520 --> 02:37:21.040 Well exactly, And I suppose that the scenario you painted 2922 02:37:21.079 --> 02:37:25.239 where they're using AI on an individual passenger basis, I 2923 02:37:25.319 --> 02:37:27.479 could be sitting in the room right next to you 2924 02:37:27.639 --> 02:37:30.479 on my computer. I have a different travel in an 2925 02:37:30.520 --> 02:37:33.200 airline usage. I've paid less or more than you. I 2926 02:37:33.239 --> 02:37:36.600 could plug the same flight, same day, departure, same flight, 2927 02:37:37.120 --> 02:37:38.959 and end up with a higher price ticket than you, 2928 02:37:39.600 --> 02:37:40.920 even though we're doing it at the same time, in 2929 02:37:40.959 --> 02:37:41.680 the same room. 2930 02:37:42.239 --> 02:37:44.079 On the same flight, same days. Yeah. 2931 02:37:44.159 --> 02:37:47.200 Yep, ah wow, which can also be the case because 2932 02:37:47.479 --> 02:37:49.600 a lot of times people will contact me and said, Jay, 2933 02:37:49.719 --> 02:37:52.680 you know, I found a flight to this country for 2934 02:37:52.799 --> 02:37:53.319 this price. 2935 02:37:53.920 --> 02:37:54.440 What do you think. 2936 02:37:54.520 --> 02:37:56.920 I'm thinking, Oh, it's probably gone by now because a 2937 02:37:56.959 --> 02:37:59.959 lot of times those prices, there might be three seats 2938 02:38:00.280 --> 02:38:02.479 when you check availability, and it's there because you have 2939 02:38:02.600 --> 02:38:05.680 last seat availability on most of the online systems you're 2940 02:38:05.760 --> 02:38:08.840 using with the airline, and yeah there is only one 2941 02:38:08.920 --> 02:38:12.319 seat left or two seats left or whatever. So it's 2942 02:38:12.760 --> 02:38:15.040 grab it as you can. So I'm used to people 2943 02:38:15.079 --> 02:38:18.680 paying different fares. What I'm not used to is the 2944 02:38:18.760 --> 02:38:22.639 computer looking at me saying here's Jay's travel history and 2945 02:38:23.440 --> 02:38:26.719 matching something with that that may not be my best interest. 2946 02:38:26.799 --> 02:38:26.959 Now. 2947 02:38:27.200 --> 02:38:29.360 You know, Delta again does a lot of things, right. 2948 02:38:29.479 --> 02:38:30.600 They make a ton of money. 2949 02:38:31.760 --> 02:38:33.840 They recently had some good news on earnings and some 2950 02:38:33.959 --> 02:38:36.959 of their future outlook and things, and they're kind of 2951 02:38:37.000 --> 02:38:40.200 the exception to the rule right now within the transportation field. 2952 02:38:40.319 --> 02:38:42.520 So if Delta does this, look. 2953 02:38:42.440 --> 02:38:45.559 For other airlines, Oh yeah, well a hamstring running in 2954 02:38:45.600 --> 02:38:46.479 that direction to get there. 2955 02:38:46.520 --> 02:38:49.040 Both the Domino's fault. All right. For those who are 2956 02:38:49.120 --> 02:38:50.959 flying today, what's it look like in terms of air 2957 02:38:51.040 --> 02:38:51.959 travel and hubblaze. 2958 02:38:52.479 --> 02:38:54.319 We've had a good morning, which means if you catch 2959 02:38:54.360 --> 02:38:56.159 that first light out in the morning as I like 2960 02:38:56.319 --> 02:38:58.479 to do, off to a good start. But a lot 2961 02:38:58.559 --> 02:39:00.559 of the rain is headed towards Ball is going to 2962 02:39:00.600 --> 02:39:02.479 give us issues. And of course the Gulf coast is 2963 02:39:02.639 --> 02:39:05.159 getting soaked today. But from a hub stand point, we 2964 02:39:05.200 --> 02:39:09.760 should be okay. But those afternoon aggravating pop up thunderstorms 2965 02:39:09.799 --> 02:39:12.959 could happen anywhere, which could cause some problems with Brian. 2966 02:39:13.040 --> 02:39:14.280 All in all, it's going to be a pretty good 2967 02:39:14.319 --> 02:39:16.399 day to fly, but a day of turbulence. If you 2968 02:39:16.440 --> 02:39:19.000 are going to be flying nothing dangerous, just keep your 2969 02:39:19.040 --> 02:39:22.559 seat belt about you so that you just don't kiss 2970 02:39:22.680 --> 02:39:23.360 the ceiling when you. 2971 02:39:23.360 --> 02:39:24.040 Weren't expecting it. 2972 02:39:24.319 --> 02:39:26.719 Amen to that day, Ratliff, thank you as always for 2973 02:39:26.799 --> 02:39:28.760 your time with my listeners and me every Thursday.
