Speaker 1: All right, here we go one more day, Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: and for Brian Thomas fifty five krc DE Talk station.
Speaker 1: What a week it has been. Huh what a week?
Speaker 1: Blown right by Thursday already. And then I believe Kevin
Speaker 1: Gordon will be in this chair tomorrow morning because I
Speaker 1: cannot be. So that's a it's a beautiful thing. And
Speaker 1: uh so glad to be here with the great Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas audience. What do we have going on today? What
Speaker 1: are we going to talk about today? I was getting
Speaker 1: ready for the show yesterday afternoon and into the evening hours,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking to myself, you know, there's so
Speaker 1: much stuff that I had during the course of the
Speaker 1: week that I'm just gonna put all my leftovers together
Speaker 1: and that could be a whole show, right there, a
Speaker 1: whole show of leftovers. Then I start looking at the news,
Speaker 1: then I see what's going on, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've got some leftovers ready to go. I don't know
Speaker 1: if the leftovers are going to make it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I really don't. The full court press that is coming
Speaker 1: out on the White House or from the White House
Speaker 1: on this MS thirteen dude, the Maryland Father as the
Speaker 1: as the media likes to refer to him is like
Speaker 1: nothing I've ever seen. You know, they had they had
Speaker 1: the mother of Rachel Morin at the White House press
Speaker 1: briefing yesterday. So at the very least, there cannot be
Speaker 1: reporters from the mainstream media, the Associated the Associated Press,
Speaker 1: you know, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC. There cannot be reporters
Speaker 1: from these outlets that claim they don't know or they
Speaker 1: they simply missed it, because the mom of Rachel Morn
Speaker 1: got up there and just gave a gut wrenching testimony.
Speaker 1: Sean McMahon is working on turning some of that audio
Speaker 1: around right now and we'll have that a little bit later.
Speaker 1: But of course the major networks ignored it completely last night.
Speaker 1: But she went in there and and talked about the
Speaker 1: illegal that was just earlier this week, convicted, convicted of
Speaker 1: raping and brutally murdering her daughter. And then she comes
Speaker 1: and testifies, and this is all part and parcel of this.
Speaker 1: You know, the Maryland father who was sent to El
Speaker 1: Salvadoran is in a prison now and the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: the White House is putting out every bit of evidence
Speaker 1: that possibly can to show that this dude is an
Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang banger. And now you have this this
Speaker 1: federal judge who is, to my way of thinking, completely
Speaker 1: out of control. And of course that's all the headlines,
Speaker 1: that's all the networks want to talk about. Is this
Speaker 1: federal judge, the one that ordered the airplane to turn
Speaker 1: around in mid air and bring those alleged MS MS
Speaker 1: thirteen gang members back to the United States.
Speaker 2: And the.
Speaker 1: You know, the White House said up, you know, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: too late, already in international waters. Nothing we can do
Speaker 1: about it. So now he's got his panties in a
Speaker 1: bunch and he's you know, talking about all this and
Speaker 1: going to hire I guess he's going to hire his
Speaker 1: own lawyer or is going to launch his own investigation
Speaker 1: and hold them all in contempt and get testimony under
Speaker 1: oath and all this other stuff. And I'm still hearing
Speaker 1: from the national media that the White House is saying
Speaker 1: they've imported all these guys they were in the day,
Speaker 1: saying they were in the country illegally doing illegal things
Speaker 1: without any evidence. You know that I have been harping
Speaker 1: on this for so long. Now when you get the
Speaker 1: national media attacking the president or attacking the White House,
Speaker 1: and they never did it with Biden. They never did
Speaker 1: it with Barack Obama. It's always with the Trump administration,
Speaker 1: sometimes with the Bush administration. But they love to throw
Speaker 1: that in there that you know, the White House said
Speaker 1: this without any evidence. So you know, now these reporters,
Speaker 1: instead of going out and talking about you know what
Speaker 1: the White House is saying, they have to inject it.
Speaker 1: And it's it's simply when they when they do that,
Speaker 1: that's not objective reporting. It is simply a way for
Speaker 1: them to inject their opinion into the piece. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's not good enough to go out there and and say,
Speaker 1: you know, the White House said X, Y and Z,
Speaker 1: but when you have to include the caveat but didn't
Speaker 1: present any evidence. Well, how many times did Barack Obama
Speaker 1: go out and say something? How many times did other presidents?
Speaker 1: What about the Joe Biden administration? You know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: looking at all this stuff that was released by Pam
Speaker 1: BONDI all this stuff that came out from the White House.
Speaker 1: I mean, document after document after document. You know, now
Speaker 1: there's now there's police reports that this dude was abusing
Speaker 1: his wife. Uh, I mean, the guy was a and
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into all the details a little
Speaker 1: bit later, but this whole, this whole notion that you
Speaker 1: can as an objective reporter include this little caveat without
Speaker 1: any evidence. Now, that's that that is opinion making right there.
Speaker 1: They don't you don't you're reporting. Fox News used to
Speaker 1: have a great line when they when they first started,
Speaker 1: and Shepherd Smith used to say it all the time.
Speaker 1: And I really, you know, whatever you think of Shepherd
Speaker 1: Smith and his his political leanings, I thought Shepherd Smith
Speaker 1: was just terrific at delivering the news and the line
Speaker 1: that he used to use all the time, and then
Speaker 1: this sort of thinking I think got away from him
Speaker 1: at the end. But he used to say, we report,
Speaker 1: you decide, and I thought that was a great line.
Speaker 1: I used to even you know, that was back in
Speaker 1: my TV days when that line was probably at the
Speaker 1: height of its popularity, and I used to use that
Speaker 1: line all the time around around the newsroom that I
Speaker 1: worked in. You know, we report, you decide. And I
Speaker 1: think that that that recognizes so many times that you
Speaker 1: go out as a journalist, as a as a reporter,
Speaker 1: you try and cover the story the best you can,
Speaker 1: You try to bring in and look, especially in local
Speaker 1: TV news, if you get a piece on the air
Speaker 1: that lasts for a minute and thirty seconds, you're doing
Speaker 1: pretty good. At least when I was in the business.
Speaker 1: The producers who stack the shows, who put the shows together,
Speaker 1: are under so much pressure to have the story count.
Speaker 1: Got to get you know, got to get that story
Speaker 1: count up, because so much of it is consultant driven.
Speaker 1: And you've got consultants who are constantly telling you, oh,
Speaker 1: you've got it. It's got to be fast paced, it's
Speaker 1: got to be quick. You got you got to have
Speaker 1: you know, this zoomy little graphic over here, got to
Speaker 1: have all these different elements. You gotta squeeze it all
Speaker 1: in because you know, you can't have an edit that
Speaker 1: lasts longer than you know what, you know, a static
Speaker 1: shot that lasts longer than three or four seconds, because
Speaker 1: people will lose interest. You know, all these consultants driven
Speaker 1: things are not driven to improve content. They're not you
Speaker 1: know there the consultants are not there to try and
Speaker 1: improve the product or make it any more meaningful or
Speaker 1: more in depth. No, the consultants are there to put
Speaker 1: eyeballs on your TV station. And so if you look
Speaker 1: at local news, especially on the TV side. It is
Speaker 1: all it is. It gets more and more difficult to
Speaker 1: distinguish one channel from the other. They all take commercial
Speaker 1: breaks at the same time. They all stack their shows
Speaker 1: the same way. If you turn on Channel five and
Speaker 1: they're doing the weather, flip over to Channel nine, chances
Speaker 1: are they're doing the weather. Flip over to Fox nineteen,
Speaker 1: chances are they're doing the weather or the traffic trafficking weather. Together.
Speaker 1: We do it here, we you know, we you know,
Speaker 1: we have our consultants too, tell us how to know
Speaker 1: when to take breaks and all the other stuff. But again,
Speaker 1: you know, journalism has has acquiesced a lot too to
Speaker 1: the consultants driven and I think when you know, there
Speaker 1: was a time when we we sort of gone away
Speaker 1: from all that from what the consultants said, and our
Speaker 1: numbers were the best they were they ever were, at
Speaker 1: least that's my experience. Five point fifteen. Got to get
Speaker 1: to a little break here and we will talk about
Speaker 1: the weather coming up and tell you what's going to
Speaker 1: be on the show today. I got a couple of
Speaker 1: great guests and a lot of stuff I want to
Speaker 1: get to, so I hope you can hang around for
Speaker 1: it one more day, Dan Carroll and for Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC de talk station.
Speaker 3: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRS the talk station. Sean McMahon is running
Speaker 1: the big board in the fifty five KRC command center.
Speaker 1: My buddy' Zeke Arkumen is going to be here at
Speaker 1: Let me see what time did I book him for?
Speaker 1: I think seven thirty seven thirty z Karkman is a
Speaker 1: guy that is all over social media and if you
Speaker 1: look him up on I follow him on X. I
Speaker 1: don't have all the other you know, Sean, what is
Speaker 1: what are some of the Instagram? I guess it's pretty
Speaker 1: big right now? Right all the young people on Instagram,
Speaker 1: aren't they? I think sometimes I wish I wasn't. He's
Speaker 1: a young guy. He's a hold on a second little
Speaker 1: drink of water. But Zeke Arkham is a prolific poster
Speaker 1: social media and he goes after everyone, and so it'll
Speaker 1: be great to get his take on what's happening on
Speaker 1: the passing scene. Then Jim Faff from the Conservative Caucus
Speaker 1: is going to be here. We'll talk a little politics
Speaker 1: with him and see what he's got going on. They've
Speaker 1: got an event coming up in rod Bolgoyevitch Blago is
Speaker 1: going to be the keynote speaker at an event they
Speaker 1: have comeing up at the DRAC Hotel in Oakbrook, Illinois.
Speaker 1: So that'll be great. So we'll talk to him and
Speaker 1: get his take on things that are happening around around
Speaker 1: the country. The New York Post is just having a
Speaker 1: field day with Letitia James and they they went and
Speaker 1: tried to ask her some questions yesterday, and she did
Speaker 1: the old pull out the cell phone and fake like
Speaker 1: you're on the cell phone. They were shouting questions at her.
Speaker 1: You know, of course they know where she lives. And
Speaker 1: when she came out of the out of you know,
Speaker 1: her place of residence. I don't know if you call
Speaker 1: it a an apartment, I don't know. I guess I
Speaker 1: guess she owns the building there. But they were asking
Speaker 1: her questions and she was standing there and had the
Speaker 1: had the phone up to her face and acted like
Speaker 1: she was involved in such an important conversation she had
Speaker 1: to completely ignore the reporters. Then apparently she went to
Speaker 1: a some political rally and gave a real stem winder
Speaker 1: of a speech. I saw. I saw the I saw
Speaker 1: some of the video on that, and I was looking
Speaker 1: at it, and I thought it was an older speech,
Speaker 1: but I guess it turns out it was a piece
Speaker 1: that she did yesterday. I would have brought some of
Speaker 1: that in today, But I was thinking, there's no way
Speaker 1: she could have been making this speech calling out the
Speaker 1: Trump administration, talking about how she's ready to go, you know,
Speaker 1: standing up for democracy, you know, the calling on her
Speaker 1: peeps to have her back and all this kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, acting all indignant. But the New York Post
Speaker 1: is all over this. They sent a reporter in Norfolk, Virginia.
Speaker 1: The New York Attorney. Attorney General Latitia James listed a
Speaker 1: Virginia home more than three hundred miles from her office
Speaker 1: in New York City as her principal residence and official
Speaker 1: public documents obtained by the Post, and those documents are
Speaker 1: all over the place because Pam Bondi released a bunch
Speaker 1: of them, or not Pam Bondy, but whoever. And I
Speaker 1: forget the individual who it was referred this case. But
Speaker 1: the Post has the documents, and they went to Norfolk
Speaker 1: and they're looking at the property records there and Latisia.
Speaker 1: James granted power of attorney to her niece, Chemise Thompson
Speaker 1: Thompson Harris in August of twenty three, authorizing the purchase
Speaker 1: of the Virginia property got a mortgage for two hundred
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand dollars. In the document, James attested, I hereby
Speaker 1: declare I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.
Speaker 1: The document was witnessed by First Deputy Attorney General Jenner
Speaker 1: for Levy, New York State Secretary, and notarized. The three bedroom,
Speaker 1: two bathroom house is now home to a woman and
Speaker 1: her daughter who moved in just a few months ago.
Speaker 1: According to people in the neighborhood and people in a neighborhood,
Speaker 1: we're talking to the post and they said they've never
Speaker 1: seen her. People in a neighborhood have a pretty good
Speaker 1: idea who's there on a daily basis. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to Latitia James, nutt never seen her. Uh And
Speaker 1: and and they alsoy they've they've got a picture of
Speaker 1: the house very lovely.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: They've got a picture of Letitia James pretending to be
Speaker 1: on the phone as she left her home in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: which is quite a distance away from Norfolk, Virginia. They've
Speaker 1: got here's the specific power of attorney purchase of real estate,
Speaker 1: you know, known know all men, by these President, that
Speaker 1: the undersigned Letitia A. James does hereby constitute and appoint
Speaker 1: Chemise Thompson Harrison of the City of Norfolk, Virginia as
Speaker 1: her attorney in fact, for her in name place instead
Speaker 1: to undertake and do all acts necessary to complete the
Speaker 1: purchase of the property. And it gives the address in
Speaker 1: in Norfolk, Virginia. And one of you know, one of
Speaker 1: the provisions under the heading there is I hereby declare
Speaker 1: I intend to a pie this property as my principal residence.
Speaker 1: And it's got the date that was signed, got the
Speaker 1: big Letitia A. James, a very bold signature, by the way,
Speaker 1: it's got her signature on it. And so uh, she
Speaker 1: she claimed that she was going to live there and
Speaker 1: apparently doesn't live there. Is that mortgage fraud? Is you know?
Speaker 1: Is this sort of what she railed against Donald Trump
Speaker 1: about our buddy Zeke Arkham is there in the in
Speaker 1: the belly of the beast. He lives in New York,
Speaker 1: so he's, uh, he's there, he's experiencing all this firsthand,
Speaker 1: and we'll see how all this plays in New York
Speaker 1: and get his opinion on that as we continue on
Speaker 1: till nine o'clock this morning, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: fifty five krc DE Talk Station fifty five KRC fifty
Speaker 1: five krc DE Talk Stations, Patchie Frog. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I was seeing frost and fog and it came
Speaker 1: out like frog. That's pretty good. How about how about
Speaker 1: a little local news here? And this one is one
Speaker 1: that popped up yesterday and it has to do with
Speaker 1: county corners in the state of Ohio. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if I like this idea at all, but five
Speaker 1: differing this piece on WCPO. Five different county corners in
Speaker 1: the Greater Cincinnati region have signed a letter to Ohio
Speaker 1: lawmakers opposing the current state budget bill, which they say
Speaker 1: contains language that would change their position from an elected
Speaker 1: one to an appointed one. Letter was designed by Butler
Speaker 1: County Corda Corner, Lisa Mannix Corner, Brian Treyon and Claremont
Speaker 1: County Laksimi Somarco Here in Hamilton County, Highland County Corner
Speaker 1: Jeff Berry and the Crownty Corner in Warren County Russell Upgrove.
Speaker 1: The state budget bill would, according to the letter, change
Speaker 1: the position of County Corner from an elected one to
Speaker 1: one appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The office
Speaker 1: County Corner, a position elected by the people, serves as
Speaker 1: a vital check against institutional overreach by ensuring that cause
Speaker 1: and manner of death determinations and forensic investigations are conducted
Speaker 1: impartially and without undue influence. Reads the letter, Eliminating this
Speaker 1: role removes a layer of democratic oversight and risks consolidating
Speaker 1: investigative power and less accountable, potentially politicized hands. And I
Speaker 1: have to say I agree with them. I've reached out
Speaker 1: to a couple of different lawmakers I know, and we'll
Speaker 1: see if they respond to me this morning and maybe
Speaker 1: come on the show and talk about I've already done
Speaker 1: a couple of different interviews talking about this state budget,
Speaker 1: and this issue did not come up. I did not
Speaker 1: know it was in there. The corners say. The lawmakers
Speaker 1: are burying the proposal within the state budget bill, House
Speaker 1: Bill ninety six, which is thousands pages long. The corners
Speaker 1: who signed the letter also say Ohio lawmakers wrote the
Speaker 1: language into the bill without communicating at all with individually
Speaker 1: elected corners or the Ohio State Corners Association. For the
Speaker 1: life of me, I can't figure out why there's someone
Speaker 1: in Columbus or a group in Columbus who thinks that
Speaker 1: this is a good idea. They were never in town halls,
Speaker 1: no voter discussions to talk about this particular issue. The
Speaker 1: letter urges lawmakers to reject the current House Built ninety
Speaker 1: six language that would eliminate the coroner's elected position. There
Speaker 1: is going to be a press conference on April twenty
Speaker 1: second at the Hamilton County Coroner's office to further discuss
Speaker 1: the issue. So, yeah, this was a surprising development that
Speaker 1: came out yesterday afternoon. I know Cunningham had the sheriff
Speaker 1: on who doesn't really like the idea. I don't like
Speaker 1: the idea either. I think the corner needs to be
Speaker 1: beholden to the people of the county that he or
Speaker 1: she serves, and not be beholden to a group of
Speaker 1: commissioners or other elected officials. And they say they're saying
Speaker 1: straight out there can be times when politics gets in
Speaker 1: the way, and I don't know, I'm not on the
Speaker 1: face of it. I'm not crazy about that idea. Let's
Speaker 1: see Northern Kentucky attorney sentence for stealing two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand dollars from families. Northern Kentucky attorney. This
Speaker 1: is on channel WCPO, not WCPO with WLWT and TULL.
Speaker 1: The attorney stole hundreds of thousands of dollars and then vanished.
Speaker 1: The sentence came down in the Campbell County courtroom. Jennifer
Speaker 1: Zachius Miller sentenced to six years in prison on one
Speaker 1: count of theft, in five years on another. The two
Speaker 1: run Concurrently, she was also ordered by Judge Dan Zala
Speaker 1: to pay restitution for the entire amount that was stolen.
Speaker 1: Miller pleaded guilty to stealing a total of more than
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars from two fansies.
Speaker 1: When the families found out the money was gone, Miller
Speaker 1: went missing for days and was finally arrested at the
Speaker 1: Red River Gorge, stealing an inheritance from a grieving family
Speaker 1: while taking advantage of the position to trust. I can't
Speaker 1: think of anything more egregious, callous, and shameful, said Melinda Lemons,
Speaker 1: who spoke out in court on behalf of one victim's family.
Speaker 1: The ordeal has been like living in a nightmare. Lemon
Speaker 1: says she does not believe Miller will pay the money back.
Speaker 1: So apparently this individual steals the money, goes to the
Speaker 1: Red River Gorge and then winds up getting that you know,
Speaker 1: whether she got arrested. That's terrible. And then finally we
Speaker 1: have this for special recognition here uh former social worker
Speaker 1: who worked with notable companies and organizations around Greater Cincinnati
Speaker 1: is headed to prison. Michael LESCo, thirty four, sentenced to
Speaker 1: twenty five years in prison for raping children. The west
Speaker 1: Chester man previously pleaded guilty to six counts of rape
Speaker 1: one count of gross sexual imposition inside the pack courtroom
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, the pain was palpable. Karner will catch up
Speaker 1: to you if it already hasn't. You're a monster. You
Speaker 1: picked the wrong family to pry upon or prey upon,
Speaker 1: said one of the relatives of the two victims. Another
Speaker 1: one said, no time or money would ever give me
Speaker 1: my innocence back. Do you rob me and my innocence?
Speaker 1: On paper, Lesco's resume looked impressive. He was a social worker,
Speaker 1: mentor counselor and volunteer. He ran life counseling out of
Speaker 1: his Westchester home, previously managed social services that you see
Speaker 1: health before being let go and John McMahon, I think
Speaker 1: that deserves some special recognition.
Speaker 5: Could you hit that please, PERI is the biggest douche
Speaker 5: of the universe, in all the galaxies. There's no bigger
Speaker 5: douche than you. You've reached the job, the pinnacle of
Speaker 5: douche them good going, du Your dreams have come.
Speaker 1: True, you know. And how many times do we see
Speaker 1: this when you've got these individuals who are accused of
Speaker 1: sexually abusing young people, and they're in positions like this,
Speaker 1: you know, counselor youth services. Maybe they're at a church
Speaker 1: or something like that. So I'm glad this guy's getting
Speaker 1: what's coming to him, twenty five years in prison for
Speaker 1: raping children. And I'm sure that will hopefully not be
Speaker 1: a very pleasant experience for thirty four year old mister
Speaker 1: LESCo fifty five KRC DE Talk Station fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC detak station by forty three on this
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, I hope your week is going just swell.
Speaker 1: One more day before the weekend, and Kevin Gordon's going
Speaker 1: to be in here tomorrow morning, so that'll be big
Speaker 1: for you. Let's go to the phones and Bobby j
Speaker 1: is calling in this morning, and Bobby Jay, how are
Speaker 1: you this morning?
Speaker 6: I'm doing great, my friend, Dan, A special thank you.
Speaker 6: Can't express our true feelings of appreciation. You're carrying that
Speaker 6: torture freedom high and bright every day.
Speaker 1: I think that I do what I can, Car, I
Speaker 1: do what I can Brother, especially for this audience. This
Speaker 1: audience is such a great and loyal audience that it is.
Speaker 1: I'm humbled to be here any chance I get.
Speaker 6: Well, everybody has their own opinion. I'm no different, but
Speaker 6: I just want to try to reiterate the point that
Speaker 6: we are in a cultural revolution. These individuals on the
Speaker 6: left have a said ideology that you're not going to break,
Speaker 6: So figure out a way that you can go ahead,
Speaker 6: and let's just say piss them all with at least
Speaker 6: amount of effort, and just smile at it when you
Speaker 6: do it. Well in my opinion for the day.
Speaker 1: Well, Bobby Jay, I appreciate that, and you have yourself
Speaker 1: a great day, sir. Thank you. All right, there you go,
Speaker 1: Bobby Jay always appreciate him dialing us up and what
Speaker 1: he said. What he said is right. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if after what the White House did yesterday that
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to be willing to die on the
Speaker 1: hill of this, this MS thirteen dude who got a
Speaker 1: shipped down to El Salvador. I mean, the I think
Speaker 1: there is You know, I remember when Adam Schiff used
Speaker 1: to be on TV all the time, and you remember
Speaker 1: it well too, when he used to about Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and the Russian collusion. All there is ample evidence, all
Speaker 1: kinds of evidence out there suggesting that Trump was in
Speaker 1: collusion with the Russians. Well, you want to talk about
Speaker 1: ample evidence, there is ample evidence that this deported MS
Speaker 1: thirteen gang member, kilmar Abrego Garcia was a gang banger.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that they're talking about is
Speaker 1: in Tricia McLachlan. I think I've got a cut from her.
Speaker 1: She's an assistant at Department of Homeland Security, but she's
Speaker 1: talking about how this guy when when he was arrested,
Speaker 1: he had rolls of cash and drugs arrested with other
Speaker 1: members of MS thirteen. Two judges have found that he
Speaker 1: is indeed an MS thirteen gang member and that finding
Speaker 1: has not been disputed, and that when he was arrested
Speaker 1: he was effectively wearing an MS thirteen uniform and that
Speaker 1: comes from Department of Homeland Security. But now, you know,
Speaker 1: none of that is good for the national media. None
Speaker 1: of that is good enough for the you know a
Speaker 1: lot of lallmakers, a lot of Democrats in this country.
Speaker 1: And again, I don't know if this is going to
Speaker 1: be hill they're willing to die on. But we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens today. In the face of all this stuff
Speaker 1: that came out yesterday, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty
Speaker 1: five KRCD Talk Station, fifty five KRCD Talk Station. One
Speaker 1: of the things that President Trump did yesterday was teaming
Speaker 1: up with DOGE to deny federal housing and jobs and
Speaker 1: benefits to illegal aliens, which I think is a good idea.
Speaker 1: There's also a poll that came out. Let me see
Speaker 1: if I can find that showing that, you know, most
Speaker 1: Americans do not want illegal aliens voting in US elections.
Speaker 1: Is there really anyone who can argue with that? Newly
Speaker 1: released rats musc and polls shows voters overwhelmingly support preventing
Speaker 1: non citizens from participating in US elections. The key word
Speaker 1: here is prevent, because the law already says only US
Speaker 1: citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections, but in
Speaker 1: numerous cases, non citizens have fraudulently cast ballots, throwing our
Speaker 1: results off and destabilizing trust in the election system. Just
Speaker 1: this month, Logan Washburn, an elections correspondent at Federalist, reported
Speaker 1: on fifteen likely non citizens who voted in Michigan. May
Speaker 1: seem like a small number, but this is one case
Speaker 1: among many, and that is enough to sway a close election.
Speaker 1: The easy fix is to require everyone registering to vote
Speaker 1: to prove to provide proof of United States citizenship. This
Speaker 1: is the simple goal of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility
Speaker 1: the SAVE Act, which was recently passed in the House
Speaker 1: and must now clear the Senate. The SAVE Act, sponsored
Speaker 1: by Chip Roy of Texas, requires in person voter registration
Speaker 1: and documentation proving US citizenship by showing a real ID
Speaker 1: US passport, military ID, birth certificate, or other forms of ID.
Speaker 1: A national telephone survey and online survey of one thousand
Speaker 1: and forty eight likely voters. How important the ras mustn't asked?
Speaker 1: How important is it to prevent illegal immigrants from voting
Speaker 1: in US elections seventy five percent, overwhelming overwhelming majority said
Speaker 1: it's very important, and to my way of thinking, that
Speaker 1: number should be closer to one hundred percent. CJ is
Speaker 1: on the line. Day, How are you this morning?
Speaker 7: I'm going to excellent yourself.
Speaker 1: All right, Cee Day? What's up?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 7: Yesterday I was driving to work and I noticed gas
Speaker 7: prices went through the roof all not through the roof,
Speaker 7: but they went up quite a bit yesterday. And so
Speaker 7: doing some reading and some research, there is a major
Speaker 7: earthquake that happened yesterday. And Adam Smith wins the game
Speaker 7: because California has done so much damage to this country
Speaker 7: politically through their environmental policies that they're not only having
Speaker 7: one refinery closed this year, they are having a second
Speaker 7: one close a year from now, and that is going
Speaker 7: to be close to twenty percent of their gasoline supply,
Speaker 7: which is going to reduce the national gasoline supply as well.
Speaker 7: And until we understand and realize how dangerous these environmental
Speaker 7: policies are, that it is actually part of the plan,
Speaker 7: it is not the consequence that it is going to
Speaker 7: be a continual effort across this country, and it will
Speaker 7: be the issue that may prevent the typical mid term
Speaker 7: election bounce from the minority party, because I don't care
Speaker 7: how many people are showing up to an AOC of it.
Speaker 7: If you're paying six dollars a gallon of gas and
Speaker 7: it's all due to some crazy California.
Speaker 2: Communists, which I'm a ninth generation.
Speaker 7: Californian myself, it is going to sway this country to
Speaker 7: stay on the right.
Speaker 1: Well, CJ, I think you you know, you make a
Speaker 1: good point about gas prices. Although I got I think
Speaker 1: I got gas yesterday and I think it was I
Speaker 1: want to say it was two seventy six where I
Speaker 1: got gas, So I don't know where you got gas,
Speaker 1: but I would be surprised if it's much higher than
Speaker 1: that anywhere around the tri States. Maybe I.
Speaker 7: Went from two eighty three eighty five or two eighty five,
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, at three nineteen overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Well then it sounds to me like you just hit
Speaker 1: the wrong place at the wrong time. But CJ, I
Speaker 1: appreciate the update on that. Got to run. We got
Speaker 1: news coming up at the top of the hour here
Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC, the talk station I always appreciate
Speaker 1: Sean McMahon rolling out the Van Allen checking off your
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, six oh five, two days after tax Day.
Speaker 1: It's so far in the rear view miror now we
Speaker 1: just need to forget about that. But it's Dan Carrolyn
Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas on the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Always glad to be here. I'm glad you are here
Speaker 1: as well. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand.
Speaker 1: I just gave the wrong number fifty five. That slipped
Speaker 1: out a couple of times this week. Five three, seven,
Speaker 1: five hundred. Uh, you do that. You can call Tom
Speaker 1: Brenneman down the hall. He'll be glad to take your call.
Speaker 1: What do we have going on? So, Gail King, it
Speaker 1: has been answering some questions about her her flight, her
Speaker 1: mission in the Jeff Bezos rocket went up to space
Speaker 1: and all that. You say, you probably you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about it on the day that it happened. And
Speaker 1: and look again, I've been a fan of space flight
Speaker 1: since the earl. In my earliest days. I can remember,
Speaker 1: you know, Kennedy kicked off the you know, we got
Speaker 1: to go to the Moon, and you know, I was
Speaker 1: I think that was before I was born actually when
Speaker 1: he said that, But you know, I was a kid
Speaker 1: growing up and watching the Space Race. I remember that
Speaker 1: that July night when watching the TV and he had
Speaker 1: Walter Konkrete and talking about, you know, we've got live
Speaker 1: pictures from the Moon, Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon
Speaker 1: all that. So that I've always been a big fan
Speaker 1: of spaceflight, and I have no problem at all with
Speaker 1: these women taking off and you know, these space cadets
Speaker 1: going up in the space. Katie Perry, Gail King, all
Speaker 1: these others is referred to as girl bosses, and Gail
Speaker 1: King just as she's just not happy with the way
Speaker 1: this is all being portrayed. And my buddy Curtis Hauk
Speaker 1: over it Newsblusters did a look at this and talked
Speaker 1: about how much time CBS spent covering this flight. So
Speaker 1: he writes on Monday, this past Monday, CBS Morning co
Speaker 1: host Gail King took off on Blue Origins mission NS
Speaker 1: thirty one for what was from liftoff to touchdown back
Speaker 1: to Earth ten minutes and fourteen seconds from liftoff to
Speaker 1: touching back down to Earth ten minutes fourteen seconds from
Speaker 1: its February twenty seventh announcement. Through recaps on Tuesday, CBS
Speaker 1: Morning News spent roughly two hundred and fifteen minutes, that's
Speaker 1: three hours, thirty five minutes trumpeting King and her all
Speaker 1: female crew, nearly twenty one times more than the actual
Speaker 1: duration on board the rocket owned by Jeff Bezos. NewsBusters
Speaker 1: examined all forty one episodes of CBS Morning A CBS
Speaker 1: Saturday Morning between the unveiling February twenty seventh through Tuesday,
Speaker 1: March fifteenth to examine all mentions alluding to or segments
Speaker 1: related to King's adventure. Of those fourteen days, nineteen of
Speaker 1: them included references to King going from where are going
Speaker 1: to where a few humans have had the fortune to go.
Speaker 1: For this study, we excluded all episodes of CBS Sunday Morning.
Speaker 1: Given this function as a news magazine, CBS Morning Plus
Speaker 1: has it only airs on five CBS owned and operated
Speaker 1: stations and the CBS streaming platform, so you know there
Speaker 1: had to be coverage on those outlets as well. The
Speaker 1: most coverage came on launch day, with a whopping forties
Speaker 1: two minutes and forty eight seconds in the regular two hours,
Speaker 1: and then another forty eight minutes since twenty five seconds
Speaker 1: in the special third hour. So I mean it's I mean,
Speaker 1: this has been you. If you're watching the CBS Morning News,
Speaker 1: you have not been able to turn it on without
Speaker 1: knowing that Gail King was going to go into space
Speaker 1: and ever since they've been back. Now, look, I think
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Americans have looked at this
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, that's great girls, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: But I guess I guess she wants you know, I
Speaker 1: guess that you know, the coverage that you got on
Speaker 1: that is not good enough. And here she was talking
Speaker 1: about I think this was with the TV show Extra
Speaker 1: and here she was talking about it and Sean mcmanhon,
Speaker 1: let's hear cut number one. Please.
Speaker 8: I don't like that people are calling it a ride.
Speaker 1: A ride.
Speaker 8: You know, you never see a man, a male astronaut
Speaker 8: who's going up in space and they said, oh, we
Speaker 8: took a ride. We actually duplicated the route that Alan
Speaker 8: Shepherd did. That's why it's called this particular capsule is
Speaker 8: called the New Shepherd. We duplicated that route, that route.
Speaker 8: No one said he took that ride. It's always referred
Speaker 8: to as a flight or a journey. So I feel
Speaker 8: that that's a little disrespectful to what the mission was
Speaker 8: and what the work that Blue Origin does does. We
Speaker 8: use space technology all the time, whether it's your GPS,
Speaker 8: whether it's your satellite. That doesn't just happen every time
Speaker 8: a flight goes up. They get some type of information.
Speaker 8: Two of the astronauts, I still have a hard time
Speaker 8: calling myself an astronaut.
Speaker 1: So there's Gail King and look here's me. My point is,
Speaker 1: you went up in the space. It takes it. There's
Speaker 1: no question in my mind. It takes a certain amount
Speaker 1: of courage to climb into that rocket and launch yourself
Speaker 1: up in the space, whether it's the edge of space,
Speaker 1: you know, the upper stratosphere or whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it. To do that take there is a certain
Speaker 1: amount of and I am giving that to these ladies
Speaker 1: all day long. But don't make it out to be
Speaker 1: something more than it actually was. What science are the
Speaker 1: American people or the people around the world going to
Speaker 1: benefit from that you conducted on board that flight, not
Speaker 1: the ride. The flight and by the way, calling it
Speaker 1: a ride, uh, the USA today is calling it a ride.
Speaker 1: Here's the headline. Could you take a space ride or
Speaker 1: could you take a ride to space? What to know
Speaker 1: about the Blue Origin after the celebrity space flight, and
Speaker 1: of course they you know, they were all talking about
Speaker 1: and how great it was for women across the world
Speaker 1: and all that. Do you know how much, Sean, do
Speaker 1: you know how much a ticket is to write on
Speaker 1: the Blue Origin, the the Jeff Bezos space launch. I'd
Speaker 1: have to imagine hundreds of thousands to the first tickets
Speaker 1: sold for twenty eight million dollars even close, Yeah, twenty
Speaker 1: eight million. So what are the chances that the ordinary
Speaker 1: people are going to get to go on the the
Speaker 1: you know, the the take a ride in.
Speaker 9: The space I think I could save the course of
Speaker 9: like ten lifetimes.
Speaker 1: No, so the average person is not going to be
Speaker 1: nearly as lucky as Gail King. And I don't know
Speaker 1: how she has room to complain about. And then she
Speaker 1: goes on to talk about how well we did the
Speaker 1: same route as Alan Shepherd. Well you know what, No,
Speaker 1: you didn't. Alan Shepherd, whose first mission ushered in the
Speaker 1: age of American human spaceflight, also became the first space
Speaker 1: traveler to manually control the orientation of the craft. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Alan Shepherd actually had controls in his spacecraft to
Speaker 1: manually control and control the orientation of the spacecraft. Yuri Gagarin,
Speaker 1: who was the first person into space, a Russian cosmonaut,
Speaker 1: that flight was largely automated. That's the way the Russians
Speaker 1: did it. So the other part is she talks about
Speaker 1: how they recreated the exact same route that Shepherd flew. Well,
Speaker 1: that's not true either. On his suburber orbital flight in
Speaker 1: the Freedom seven capsule, Alan Shepherd reached an altitude of
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen miles. This flight was on May fifth,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one. It made him the first American in space. Now,
Speaker 1: the Blue Origin took a similar route, but it's not
Speaker 1: the exact same as according to Gail King. Let's see
Speaker 1: the mission called NS thirty one included Lauren Sanchez, who's
Speaker 1: engaged to Bezos. Also the new Shepherd rocket. Then you've
Speaker 1: got the names of these other ladies who went up there.
Speaker 1: Let's see the sixty foot tall rocket topped with the
Speaker 1: They call it the gum drop shaped crew capsule. And
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of other commentary that the
Speaker 1: capsule looks like, you know, the rocket looks like something
Speaker 1: else when you take a look at it. But so
Speaker 1: that was the capsule. And then I played the sound
Speaker 1: of the women on board the the ship and I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know where these you know, these
Speaker 1: scientific experiments took place. But maybe they'll fill us in
Speaker 1: on that one of these days. But this capsule went
Speaker 1: to the sixty two mile high internationally recognized boundary of space,
Speaker 1: sixty two miles. So Alan Shepherd went up one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixteen miles. They went sixty two miles. That's almost double,
Speaker 1: almost double what the women did. Alan Shepherd had controls
Speaker 1: in his space cap Are there any controls at all
Speaker 1: inside the Blue Origin? So if someone says it's a ride,
Speaker 1: it pretty much is a ride. You're Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of discussion going on. You know, were they crew
Speaker 1: members or were they passengers? You're sitting in there. You know,
Speaker 1: when you ride on a big jet airplane and you
Speaker 1: fly from one end of the country to the other.
Speaker 1: Are you going for a ride or are you a
Speaker 1: crew member? Do you have any controls? What's you can control?
Speaker 1: The what can you control on an airplane? Sean mcmah,
Speaker 1: You can control what the the little thing where the
Speaker 1: you know, where the air comes out. And the light
Speaker 1: you can blow air on yourself. There's a light you
Speaker 1: can control if you sit by the window. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got the little shade that goes up and down. The
Speaker 1: last time I was on an airplane, there used to
Speaker 1: be a little buttons on the side of the handle,
Speaker 1: and you could recline the seat a little bit. That
Speaker 1: option has gone from the last the least few times
Speaker 1: I flew there was there was no reclining of the
Speaker 1: seat whatsoever. So that's gone. And you can put your
Speaker 1: luggage in the overhead bind Those are not really controls
Speaker 1: of the of the craft. So Gail King, please spare
Speaker 1: us the the indignation because people, you know, look, talk
Speaker 1: about your spaceflight all you want, Just don't make it
Speaker 1: out to be something more than it was. I am
Speaker 1: not questioning your courage. I am not questioning the courage
Speaker 1: of any of these other women. I'm not questioning how
Speaker 1: wonderful and exhilarating would be what I if I was
Speaker 1: able to find someone to pay my twenty eight million
Speaker 1: dollars so I could take a ride on that, I
Speaker 1: certainly would. You know, William Shatner went up in the
Speaker 1: Blue Origin. He didn't try to make it You know
Speaker 1: he wasn't, and he came back and he was still
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't trying to make it sound like
Speaker 1: he was doing things that that Captain Kirk did when
Speaker 1: he was zooming around on the Starship Enterprise. So Gail King,
Speaker 1: don't make it more than it was. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Not trying to belittle your or your accomplishment at all,
Speaker 1: but don't tell me you did the same route as
Speaker 1: Alan Shepherd and that you were a crew member as
Speaker 1: opposed to taking a ride passenger. If it was a
Speaker 1: guy that went up there, we'd be talking about the
Speaker 1: exact same way. And if he tried to make it
Speaker 1: out to be more than it was, I'd probably have
Speaker 1: a lot more harsh criticism than I do for you.
Speaker 1: Six eighteen late for a break, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
Speaker 1: fifty five krc DE talk.
Speaker 10: Station, fifty five krc Can I get meg a million?
Speaker 1: Fifty five krc DE talk station one more day for
Speaker 1: Dan Carrolyn for Brian Thomas, Kevin Gordon since here tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so we'll all be listening together to that. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to the phones, and William is on the line,
Speaker 1: and William here on fifty five KRC. How's it going,
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 11: Sir, good morning, Thank you for taking my call. And
Speaker 11: I've just got a few points. I mean, here, okay,
Speaker 11: what was the purpose of these women? I just got
Speaker 11: three questions. What was these women's purpose.
Speaker 4: To go up there?
Speaker 11: They were up there for eleven minutes I heard, and
Speaker 11: what did they do? I mean, and what was the
Speaker 11: whole purpose of it? It looked like these women, with
Speaker 11: all due respect, I don't understand, and I hope taxpayer
Speaker 11: money wasn't involved in this. It was symbolism without any substance.
Speaker 11: These women going up into a spaceship. It looks like
Speaker 11: a penis What are they doing?
Speaker 2: What I mean?
Speaker 1: You know, hold on, hold on one second, son McMahon.
Speaker 1: Do you still have the sound that I played on
Speaker 1: I believe it was either Monday or Tuesday of when
Speaker 1: the women were up there in the space capsule. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me see it, let me see you can hear it.
Speaker 1: I actually, yeah, I actually played the sound of them
Speaker 1: when they were in the space capsule and I was
Speaker 1: I was listening and I did this. I believe it
Speaker 1: was on Tuesday. But I did the story and I
Speaker 1: talked about there was an interview that took place with
Speaker 1: May Jemison, who was one of the one of the
Speaker 1: well not the first female. I believe she was the
Speaker 1: first black woman in space. And whoever was doing the
Speaker 1: interview with her talked about how they were going to
Speaker 1: conduct scientific experiments on board this flight. And I'm and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, look, the whole thing lasted less
Speaker 1: than eleven minutes from takeoff to landing, less than eleven minutes.
Speaker 1: I don't know of very many scientific experiments that you
Speaker 1: can that you can do in that span of time.
Speaker 1: So you asked what they did up there. Sean McMahon
Speaker 1: has found the SoundBite of what the women recorded themselves
Speaker 1: doing once they once they got to weightlessness. And William
Speaker 1: listened to this, and will he be able to hear
Speaker 1: this on the phone when Okay listen to this. This
Speaker 1: is this is their recording of what they did when
Speaker 1: it was time to unstrap and be weightlessness, for the
Speaker 1: amount of time that they were weightless. And here it
Speaker 1: is hit.
Speaker 12: That got it one two, three, mirror tmr's in space.
Speaker 13: He's Okay's land up there. Flynn, I got you, I
Speaker 13: got youa Flynn gotcha?
Speaker 1: Oh oh, the moon.
Speaker 10: You guys, I will have to tell you.
Speaker 7: Look at the moon.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Wow, look at the blue line.
Speaker 12: My gosh, oh my god.
Speaker 13: Okay, how it's time to take out.
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 11: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: All right, So William, there you go and you can
Speaker 1: decide for yourself. That was actually.
Speaker 11: One last question. The taxpayer money paid for this symbolism
Speaker 11: with any stuff?
Speaker 1: I do not believe there was any taxpayer money involved.
Speaker 1: All these women who went up are extremely wealthy, extremely rich,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, Jeff Bezos' girlfriend was the one
Speaker 1: who drove it. So I believe CBS footed the bill
Speaker 1: for Gail King and and maybe Bezos paid for these
Speaker 1: other two individuals. Who are you know, I guess they
Speaker 1: claim there's some sort of scientist or something. But Katie
Speaker 1: Perry's got enough money so she can afford it. I
Speaker 1: don't think there was any taxpayer dollars that that were
Speaker 1: involved in it, thank god. But you know you heard
Speaker 1: you heard the sound from inside the capsule. So, as
Speaker 1: I talked about earlier this morning, we report you decide.
Speaker 1: You decide what was the benefit for all humankind that
Speaker 1: these women dared the voyage to the edge of space
Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC, the talk station. Fifty five KRC,
Speaker 1: the talk station.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: There was a meeting last night between Cincinnati Public Schools,
Speaker 1: the Board of Education, and the City of Cincinnati's Healthy
Speaker 1: Neighborhoods Committee, and one of the things they talked about
Speaker 1: was youth sports and you sports supposed to be a
Speaker 1: safe place for kids to have fun, to compete. Multiple
Speaker 1: games last year were disrupted by gun violence, whether it
Speaker 1: was Cincinnati police responding to a shooting that injured too
Speaker 1: at a peewee football game or CPS changing several football
Speaker 1: game kickoffs due to community violence. Safety at you sports
Speaker 1: felt uncertain for many. There were almost two hundred kids
Speaker 1: still there at a time when shots went off. Most
Speaker 1: of these kids were extremely traumatized that Peterson Mingo, a
Speaker 1: community activist. Wednesday's meeting, council member Scotti Johnson said adults
Speaker 1: betting thousands of dollars on games was the root cause
Speaker 1: of much of this violence. Yeah. I had kids who
Speaker 1: were involved in U sports and we went to and
Speaker 1: we traveled all over the place to go to games,
Speaker 1: whether it was soccer or football, or swimming or what
Speaker 1: other sports did they did some baseball I don't remember
Speaker 1: any wagering going on at any point, but apparently that's
Speaker 1: a thing now. It has been a thing Wednesday's meeting,
Speaker 1: Scotti Johnson said adults betting thousands of dollars well the
Speaker 1: root cause of the violence. You cannot have youth football.
Speaker 1: This is a quote from Scotti Johnson. You cannot have
Speaker 1: youth football games where there are three, four or five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars bets taking place. He said, people are dying
Speaker 1: for a lot less money. Who in their right mind
Speaker 1: goes out and bets that kind of jack on a
Speaker 1: on a little kid football game. I mean, if you've
Speaker 1: got that kind of money to throw around, I would
Speaker 1: think that that would be money, that would be entertainment.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can can rely. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: betting on college football is hard enough. Bettan on pro
Speaker 1: football hard enough. How do you bet on little kid football?
Speaker 1: Sean McMahon, would you ever put place a wager on
Speaker 1: little kid footb No? No, I don't think so. Johnson
Speaker 1: claims that betting is also the reason Cincinnati police no
Speaker 1: longer patrol youth football games. Now, that doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense to me, And I don't know if I would
Speaker 1: have seen this yesterday. I certainly would have asked Ken
Speaker 1: Cobra about it. He said. So the reality and the
Speaker 1: difficult conversation when it comes to our young people, are
Speaker 1: this community stop betting on our children? Johnson said, because
Speaker 1: that really is what has taken place, and that is
Speaker 1: why Cincinnati police have stepped away. If I had a
Speaker 1: chance to talk to Scotti Johnson, I would certainly question that.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Cincinnati police would step away just
Speaker 1: because there's wagering going on in the stands and it's apparently,
Speaker 1: according to Scotti Johnson, led to some of the shootings
Speaker 1: and violence that we saw last year. Yeah. You look,
Speaker 1: if you're a parent out there and you've got a
Speaker 1: little kid involved in youth football, you don't need to
Speaker 1: be wagering on the you know, maybe it's a you know,
Speaker 1: a form of entertainment, I don't know, but you don't
Speaker 1: need to be betting on it. And then certainly, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, having shots fired because someone lost a bet
Speaker 1: on a little kid football game. To talk about things
Speaker 1: that are ridiculous, and that's one of them right there.
Speaker 1: Six thirty six on fifty five KRC, the talk station
Speaker 1: fifty five k the talk station. It's official fifty five
Speaker 1: KRCD talk station, Dan Carroll for Bryan Thomas. And I
Speaker 1: think it was yesterday, maybe around this time. Then I
Speaker 1: had a caller and the caller was talking about the
Speaker 1: n g o s and these nonprofits and you know,
Speaker 1: the the money that was going out of all this
Speaker 1: stuff that's been uncovered by And so I was getting
Speaker 1: ready for the show today and I was looking at
Speaker 1: the europe Post and found this piece written by Glenn Reynolds,
Speaker 1: and he lays it out pretty well in this piece,
Speaker 1: how democrats use NGOs to end run voters and starts
Speaker 1: like this. I'm often darkly amused by common examples of
Speaker 1: inherently false nomenclature jumbo shrimp, government ethics, unbiased news coverage,
Speaker 1: and one of our society's biggest falsehoods in a name,
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations. Until recently, these groups have been widely
Speaker 1: seen as international idealized versions of domestic nonprofits. We thought
Speaker 1: of them as do good organizations set up by people
Speaker 1: who really care about the environment, about poor people, about children,
Speaker 1: about freedom. We imagine they raise money, help the downtrod,
Speaker 1: send out press releases, and engage in other private activities
Speaker 1: to promote the causes they favor. They're not government entities,
Speaker 1: we thought the very name says that, but a species
Speaker 1: of private charity whose good intentions deserve the benefit of
Speaker 1: any doubt. Perhaps some NGOs do operate in that way,
Speaker 1: but as we've learned recently, partly as the result of
Speaker 1: the Department of Government efficiency, many non governmental entities are
Speaker 1: really just fronts for government activities that Americans would never
Speaker 1: stand for if Washington attempted them directly. For example, America's
Speaker 1: border crisis was funded in large part by President Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's government, which sent large sums of money in the
Speaker 1: form of grants and or grants to various NGOs that
Speaker 1: helped train migrants how to get into the United States
Speaker 1: and how to claim asylum once they arrived, helped the
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants with expenses on the way, and provided legal
Speaker 1: resources and more than twenty two billion dollars worth of
Speaker 1: assistance for them, including cash for cars, home loans, and
Speaker 1: businesses startups once they got in. This was US taxpayer
Speaker 1: money laundered through independent organizations that served to promote goals
Speaker 1: contrary to US law but consistent with the policy preferences
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration under President Trump, this funding has
Speaker 1: been halted, and unsurprisingly, the flow hold on saying yeah,
Speaker 1: so this funding has been halted, and unsurprisingly the flow
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants did too. Likewise, the weird wave of
Speaker 1: sudden global enthusiasm for trans rights and novel ideas about
Speaker 1: gender turns out to have been largely funded by the
Speaker 1: US government through USAID grants. USAID. I remember all the
Speaker 1: talk about USAID when that first surface. Federally funded mngos
Speaker 1: spent millions on everything from a transgender opera in Colombia
Speaker 1: to a campaign promoting being LGBTQ in the Caribbean to
Speaker 1: an lgbt community center in Bratslavia, Slovakia. As data expert
Speaker 1: Jenny's Pounds puts it, over the last few months, we've
Speaker 1: come to a realization that should have landed much harder.
Speaker 1: NGOs weren't just adjacent to government. They were tools of
Speaker 1: the government, the parallel government, specifically doing things that Washington
Speaker 1: bureaucrats knew fool well they could not easily do themselves.
Speaker 1: The big surprise is that we are so surprised that
Speaker 1: this has been going on. The Lack of accountability also
Speaker 1: made NGOs a perfect conduit for funneling money to Washington insiders.
Speaker 1: It's been a profitable cycle. Politicians fund agencies, agencies make
Speaker 1: grants to NGOs, NGOs hire politicians wives and offsprings, and
Speaker 1: sometimes the politicians themselves once they've left office. Senator Sheldon
Speaker 1: white House, Democrat Rhode Island, for example, voted to award
Speaker 1: fourteen point two million dollars to Ocean Conservancy since two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. The NGO, in turn, paid his wife,
Speaker 1: Sandral Whitehouse and her form two point seven million dollars
Speaker 1: for consulting work. So see, this is what I was
Speaker 1: talking about yesterday, you know, in the grand scheme of things,
Speaker 1: fourteen point two million dollars going from the federal government
Speaker 1: to the Ocean Conservancy. Yes, I mean, it's not even
Speaker 1: a drop in the bucket, it's not even scratching the surface.
Speaker 1: But when that money funnels down to the wife of
Speaker 1: someone like Senator Sheldon white House and her firm, her
Speaker 1: consulting firm gets paid two point seven million dollars for
Speaker 1: consulting work, well, then all of a sudden that turns
Speaker 1: into a nice fat number, doesn't it. No wonder the
Speaker 1: Washington establishment went crazy when Trump and Doge started cutting
Speaker 1: off such funds. It was striking to see how many
Speaker 1: NGOs folded their tents almost immediately when Trump shut down USAIDS,
Speaker 1: sprawling and largely unmonitored grant making activities. And THENNGO that
Speaker 1: can't function without government money is anything but non governmental.
Speaker 1: That is a that is a profundanity. As Rush Limbaugh
Speaker 1: used to say, An NGO that can't function without government
Speaker 1: money is anything but non governmental. And that's part of
Speaker 1: a global pattern. So this is just an excellent piece
Speaker 1: that lays out exactly what I was trying to tell
Speaker 1: the caller the other day about how these things work.
Speaker 1: And it's odd how this money always finds its way
Speaker 1: into the hands of people who are friendly with politicians
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, people who are related family members, and
Speaker 1: that money, again, it's money laundring. It goes out, some
Speaker 1: of it gets used for the intended purpose, and usually
Speaker 1: it's not much, and it comes back in. And the
Speaker 1: Clintons have been way ahead of the curve on this
Speaker 1: for decades now decades, and everyone else was in on
Speaker 1: the grift too, And at least Trump brought it to
Speaker 1: a stop, at least for now. Six forty seven fifty
Speaker 1: five krc We got Mic on the line. We'll hear
Speaker 1: what Mike has to say about youth gambling. Are gambling
Speaker 1: on you sports? After this fifty five KRCD Talk Station
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD Talk Station six fifty one on this
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, my final morning's this week, sitting in for
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, and let's go to the phones, and Mike
Speaker 1: is online and Mike, you're on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 14: I got to count about the people gambling on you sport. Yeah,
Speaker 14: I wonder how much just stems back to all the
Speaker 14: like draft Kings and all that they've gotten people so
Speaker 14: addicted to gambling.
Speaker 1: They'll gamble on anything. I mean, I would have to
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 14: They tempt you it there and they're like, hey, you
Speaker 14: bet five dollars, We'll give you another two hundred bucks
Speaker 14: a bet, And I mean they it's so much out
Speaker 14: there in your face anymore.
Speaker 1: It's it's gotten ridiculous. I don't know. I look at
Speaker 1: it and I remember when I first heard about this.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, maybe this is just a few
Speaker 1: dads who are looking for a way to generate a
Speaker 1: little more Look going to a kid's football game, if
Speaker 1: you're a parent, it's a big deal if your kid is,
Speaker 1: you know, eight nine or ten years old and they're
Speaker 1: playing in a youth football game. Outside of that, they
Speaker 1: really don't generate all that much excitement. So maybe maybe
Speaker 1: there's some dads or some parents who need field and
Speaker 1: need to generate a little more excitement. I would think
Speaker 1: that if you're betting, you know, doing like real sports gambling,
Speaker 1: if you're betting on the Masters, or you're betting on
Speaker 1: football or college basketball, whatever the case may be, I
Speaker 1: would think that's sort of a different mindset, a different
Speaker 1: level of betting than when you go to a little kid,
Speaker 1: you know, a pee wee football game, and you got
Speaker 1: little kids who are running around the field like that.
Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean, really, do you ever know
Speaker 1: what you're going to get out of a out of
Speaker 1: a you know, kids who are eight, nine or ten
Speaker 1: years old playing football or are really engaging in any sport.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're pretty much out there just running around
Speaker 1: and having fun. At least that's what, you know, what
Speaker 1: the premise ought to be. We lost Mike Sean. You
Speaker 1: didn't hang up on him, did you, I know, he
Speaker 1: just sort of he just sort of faded out.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, well we certainly appreciate that. What else
Speaker 1: do we have going on? What else? What else do
Speaker 1: we have going on? Let's see, let's see we talked
Speaker 1: about Gail King and her launching into space. Oh, the
Speaker 1: city of Chicago, Cinco de Mayo was coming up, sewn.
Speaker 1: Do you ever do anything for Cinco de Mayo.
Speaker 9: Oh, it's my brother's birthday that day, birthday, So that's
Speaker 9: that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: Then, I mean you put on a sombrero, you know,
Speaker 1: and go out and have a few Margarita's stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Definitely Margarita's. Yeah, I love I love me and Margarita.
Speaker 1: How can you not? I certainly I like the fee
Speaker 1: Do you like that? I like the Frozen ones?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Those are really good. Yeah, I do like the Frozen ones.
Speaker 1: But in Chicago, the annual Cinco de Mayo parade on
Speaker 1: the South Side has been canceled this year organ is
Speaker 1: or citing concerns over increased federal immigration enforcement operations. So
Speaker 1: I guess they I guess what is going on in Chicago. Look,
Speaker 1: if you're in the country legally, if you are here
Speaker 1: and in good standing, you don't have anything to fear.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of stuff that just raises uh,
Speaker 1: you know, unnecessary, unnecessary concern, unnecessary Uh, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just the whole thing is unnecessary anxiety. The
Speaker 1: announcement comes amid growing anxiety within the city's undocumented population. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you're undocumed. Look, if you're undocumented, you should have
Speaker 1: a lot more, a lot more bigger fish to fry
Speaker 1: than whether or not you're going to go to a
Speaker 1: Sinko to Mayo parade. Would it makes sense for Tom
Speaker 1: Homan and his his crews to be out there during
Speaker 1: the Sinko to my I think it would. Might they
Speaker 1: be able to identify some people who are in the
Speaker 1: country illegal? Quite possibly, yes, But don't you know, don't
Speaker 1: cancel the parade for those people who want to legitimately
Speaker 1: have a good time that day. Look, if Chicago's undocumented
Speaker 1: population is that robust, then you know Tom Homan and
Speaker 1: his folks need to get in there and get busy.
Speaker 1: Six fifty six fifty five krs. The talk station fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC Detalk Station seven O five on this Thursday
Speaker 1: morning is rocking and rolling all the way through this week.
Speaker 1: Only one more day and then we have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: I hope you're all having a great week so far.
Speaker 1: And looks like it could be a little stormy this weekend,
Speaker 1: so we had the forecast coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 1: This senator from Maryland Chris van Holland Jesse Waters calls
Speaker 1: him Chris van Halen, which I find slightly amusing. But
Speaker 1: he decided to go down to El Salvador, and for
Speaker 1: some reason, he is in love with this Abrego Garcia.
Speaker 1: Some reason he's in love with this dude. And I know,
Speaker 1: I guess he figured who was ever giving this guy
Speaker 1: advice is giving him some bad advice, and he's a fool.
Speaker 1: He's a moron for taking this advice and making such
Speaker 1: a big deal about going down to El Salvador and
Speaker 1: acting as if he's going to bust this dude out
Speaker 1: of prison. He got down there and then he I mean,
Speaker 1: he sent videos himself in the airport, video of himself
Speaker 1: when he landed, video of himself driving to whatever city
Speaker 1: he drove to, said he was going to meet with
Speaker 1: these very important leaders of El Salvador, then go to
Speaker 1: the prison and bring this guy home. Got to bring
Speaker 1: this guy home. Well, first of all, he's in the
Speaker 1: country illegally, and the Assistant Secretary of State, Trician McLaughlin
Speaker 1: was on ABC News and again, this is what I
Speaker 1: love about the Trump this Trump administration. They are not
Speaker 1: hiding from any of this stuff, anything that gets thrown
Speaker 1: up against them. They are going out and confronting every
Speaker 1: single issue and they certainly are not hiding from this.
Speaker 1: But Assistant Secretary Trisia McLaughlin was on ABC News and
Speaker 1: really laid it out for him about what is going
Speaker 1: on with this dude, and this is what it sounded like.
Speaker 1: Sean McMahon Cutt number two.
Speaker 15: Please, he is a member of MS thirteen. I don't
Speaker 15: think you'd want to be his neighbor. Jai, I sure one,
Speaker 15: And I don't think many Americans watching would want to
Speaker 15: be this individual's neighbor. He's been involved in human trafficking,
Speaker 15: he's been involved in labor trafficking, and he should not
Speaker 15: in this country. So whether he's in a now salvatory,
Speaker 15: in jail or US detention facility, I am so very glad,
Speaker 15: as are millions of Americans that he is off of
Speaker 15: US streets because remember Jay, who is MS thirteen. They maim,
Speaker 15: they rape, they kill Americans for sport and the American
Speaker 15: people are done with it, they said. So on November fifth, four.
Speaker 1: They maime, they rape, they kill us citizens, and these
Speaker 1: are the people. This is the individual that this Senator
Speaker 1: Van Holland wants to bring back to the United States.
Speaker 1: Wants to pretend as though the Trump administration is guilty
Speaker 1: of some egregious crime for sending this guy down to
Speaker 1: El Salvador. And so the White House is pretty much
Speaker 1: having a full court press on this dude. And they
Speaker 1: shot back putting out all the evidence they have that
Speaker 1: this guy is a mess of their teen gang member
Speaker 1: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, twenty nine years old, El Salvadorian national.
Speaker 1: So the notion that, you know, the Van Holland wants
Speaker 1: to bring him home to Maryland is completely false because
Speaker 1: the guys from El Salvador, so he is home, entered
Speaker 1: the United States illegally when he was sixteen, and now
Speaker 1: he is the local you know, the current caused leb
Speaker 1: for the for the Democrat Party. So Van Holland went
Speaker 1: down there, tried to get him out of prison. The
Speaker 1: prison said nababa, nah, you're not coming in. You're not
Speaker 1: meeting with this guy, and you're not making us look
Speaker 1: like fools. We are not. They are not sending him back.
Speaker 1: The White House put out all kinds of stuff about
Speaker 1: this dude. Let's see, let's see what I do with this.
Speaker 1: The media would love for you to believe that this
Speaker 1: is the media, darling. They would love for you to
Speaker 1: believe that, you know, the Trump administration is in the
Speaker 1: wrong for sending this guy down there. You know, they've
Speaker 1: released all the documentation, they have all you know, these
Speaker 1: different judges that have found this guy to be an
Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang member, and they I don't know how
Speaker 1: much more documentation you can put out there. But of
Speaker 1: course the media want to say that there's no evidence
Speaker 1: that this guy is a gang member at all. When
Speaker 1: Garcia was arrested in March of twenty nineteen, he was
Speaker 1: with some of his homies found to be in possession
Speaker 1: of marijuana, discarded several other items at the scene. There
Speaker 1: are two small plastic bottles containing marijuana located at the scene.
Speaker 1: He was arrested with two other members of MS thirteen,
Speaker 1: and their names are provided here. Fourth individual, who was unnamed,
Speaker 1: was also interviewed. Members of the Prince George's County Gang
Speaker 1: Unit MS thirteen Intelligence squad have encountered these other individuals
Speaker 1: multiple times, and they really they go chapter in verse
Speaker 1: and then at the White House yesterday there was gut
Speaker 1: wrenching testimony from Rachel Marin's mother. Now, Rachel Marin is
Speaker 1: a woman and her mother lives in Maryland, so she
Speaker 1: is a constituent of this Senator Van Holland, and she
Speaker 1: was talking about just the horrific circumstances that surrounded her daughters.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't good enough for NBC or any of
Speaker 1: the coverage from any of the major networks. According to NewsBusters,
Speaker 1: the legacy media continues their advocacy on behalf of this
Speaker 1: guy kill mar Abrego Garcia, the MS thirteen gangster who
Speaker 1: was deported to El Salvador. They ran about twelve seconds
Speaker 1: worth a coverage on this, and this is what at
Speaker 1: least the intro to the piece sounded like, this is
Speaker 1: Tom Lamas, who's the anchor, and this is how they
Speaker 1: address this situation. Let's hear cut number three.
Speaker 16: There are several breaking developments tonight on the president's mass
Speaker 16: deportation plans and the way they're being carried out from
Speaker 16: courtrooms to the streets, including this one near Boston. We're
Speaker 16: seeing dramatic tactics from ICE agents making a rest.
Speaker 1: So they're talking about dramatic tactics of ICE agents. And
Speaker 1: when he talks about the courtroom, there's video from looks
Speaker 1: like there's a guy who gets off an elevator it
Speaker 1: looks like and is running from ICE agents and they
Speaker 1: tackle the dude to catch up to them. And there
Speaker 1: was some other video they had of some windows being
Speaker 1: busted out of a car. So this so we're, you know,
Speaker 1: again NBC trying to put fear into people that these
Speaker 1: ICE agents through out of control. But when it came
Speaker 1: to covering Patty moren here's what that coverage sounded like.
Speaker 1: Let's hear cut number four.
Speaker 6: Lly today the White House highlighting the story of Patty Morin,
Speaker 6: whose daughter Rachel was killed by an undocumented immigrant.
Speaker 8: These are the kind of criminals President Trump wants to
Speaker 8: remove from our country.
Speaker 1: And that was it. That was it. And here is
Speaker 1: the same woman speaking to Senator twenty five KRCD talk
Speaker 1: station seven nineteen. My buddy's eke garam Arkham coming up
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. In the meantime, let's
Speaker 1: go back to the phones and too Sweetish checking.
Speaker 17: In Hey, good morning, dad.
Speaker 1: Sweet good to hear your voice this morning.
Speaker 17: How are you pretty good? I got a theory on
Speaker 17: the gambling in the Little league.
Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
Speaker 17: Some of the street hustlers dan or financing some of
Speaker 17: these teams, okay, and they're trying to recruit, recruit, I mean,
Speaker 17: you know, get some of the investment back, and they're
Speaker 17: trying to win championships for bragging rights. That's what I
Speaker 17: hear is going on in the street because they can't
Speaker 17: get expensive for equipment, trips, et cetera. So that's what
Speaker 17: a gamlean, that's what enticing his gampling.
Speaker 1: Are these the youth football leagues? Are they are they?
Speaker 1: Are they legitimate? I mean, if if they're being.
Speaker 17: Funday, yep, yeah, game'll be in a whole bit. But
Speaker 17: you got to get the funny, Well, sure you do.
Speaker 17: And so you know, the equipment can be very expensive,
Speaker 17: and and and the street hustler he's the one that's
Speaker 17: investing in these teams.
Speaker 1: So instead of these kids going out and selling the
Speaker 1: candy bars and mattresses and stuff.
Speaker 17: Like that, some of that goes on to but some
Speaker 17: of them just don't have the true financial vacking, so
Speaker 17: that the street uster will put his money up.
Speaker 1: So are they wagering against parents or the kids? You know,
Speaker 1: he got the parents from one team wagering against the
Speaker 1: kids from the other team. How does that? How does
Speaker 1: that on?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 17: Yep, yep, that's the second what's going on? And some
Speaker 17: of those little teams be dominating, So you know it's
Speaker 17: right for for gambling, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Would you would you wager that kind of money on
Speaker 1: a nine year old playing football?
Speaker 17: New but you know the guy that the owners sort
Speaker 17: of speak, he will because he's spending thousands of dollars
Speaker 17: and you want to get it back.
Speaker 1: So is this like, is this like a whole subculture
Speaker 1: that I would.
Speaker 17: Say so yep, yep, for sure, yep, an no doubt
Speaker 17: about it there. That's my theory. That's what it looks
Speaker 17: like to me.
Speaker 1: That's what I hear is there is there some some
Speaker 1: real talent? Are they Are they trying to latch onto
Speaker 1: these kids maybe for future earnings, you know, maybe when
Speaker 1: the hook up with some of the nil money when
Speaker 1: they get to college and and and maybe even beyond that.
Speaker 17: Is that like a long time you can discount that
Speaker 17: it was a kid that he was he was a
Speaker 17: pretty tired of the kid. He just committed suicide here recently.
Speaker 17: And he had some talent young kid, he's nice five,
Speaker 17: big kid, but he got caught up to the stuff
Speaker 17: and committed suicide here, originally very talented football player. Yeah,
Speaker 17: I mean that's it's a culture for sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's it to my way of thinking.
Speaker 1: If you've got little kids who are playing sports, this
Speaker 1: is really is it's an abomination. It's an adulteration. I mean,
Speaker 1: these sorts of things should not be happening when it
Speaker 1: especially when they involve little kids. You got the kids
Speaker 1: out there try trying to have fun, trying to learn
Speaker 1: a little something, and you know, you got adults who
Speaker 1: are you know, gambling and putting all this kind of
Speaker 1: you know, putting all these kind of extra things on
Speaker 1: on the on these little kids, the precious What about
Speaker 1: is that? Is that falling on the coaches? Is you know,
Speaker 1: it's one thing, you know, when when my kid was
Speaker 1: playing little kid football, I used to have the coach
Speaker 1: tell me, uh, the coach told me that you know
Speaker 1: that that you look at every parent. We were at
Speaker 1: a like, you know, a year end event, and he
Speaker 1: sees he came up to me and said, you're the
Speaker 1: only parent who never called me during the course of
Speaker 1: the season and talked about, Hey, my kid needs to
Speaker 1: play tight end, or my kid needs to you know,
Speaker 1: be the you know, be the running back or the
Speaker 1: quarterback or whatever. And and so I can only imagine
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you got the coaches that I
Speaker 1: dealt with, we're dealing with that kind of pressure. But
Speaker 1: when you're talking about this kind of money changeing hands,
Speaker 1: that seems to me like it it's a whole different
Speaker 1: level of pressure for those who are called in the
Speaker 1: coaching and the administration of and all the rest of
Speaker 1: that stuff.
Speaker 17: And you got some of the street halls who are coaches,
Speaker 17: so that gives them even the more sent up to
Speaker 17: one again to get that money back.
Speaker 1: You know, what kind of breaking rights can you have
Speaker 1: if you you've got little.
Speaker 17: We we we we we we We're the king of
Speaker 17: the Kings. We win a championship here in the heart,
Speaker 17: That's that's what it's all about. I just up here
Speaker 17: from what I what I hear on the streets.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, you're probably a little bit closer to it
Speaker 1: than I am. But too sweet. Always great to hear you, Yes.
Speaker 17: You have to give me some coverage. But did you
Speaker 17: read the Kevin Olwich article last Sunday.
Speaker 1: Regarding Tom Brenneman. Yes, I did. Was the radio station
Speaker 1: deciding to bring him on? But what what what he
Speaker 1: talked about was? Uh he mentioned the the Trump administration
Speaker 1: unrelenting attack on the l g B t Q community
Speaker 1: and nonsense. And I know a lot of people in
Speaker 1: this community. I know a lot of people who you know,
Speaker 1: in that community who support this president and his policies,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to be associated with, you know,
Speaker 1: the mutilation of children, the under affirming this and and
Speaker 1: all that nonsense, and the transgender issues and all the
Speaker 1: rest of it. So you know, that is what largely
Speaker 1: Trump is looking at to call this an all out assault.
Speaker 1: The only thing that they really got me on that
Speaker 1: is I would like to see him provide some evidence
Speaker 1: to that, and I really don't think that he'd be
Speaker 1: able to.
Speaker 17: Did he give you the impression that he was disappointed
Speaker 17: at alw Herding?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would like to think that he
Speaker 1: was leaving that decision up to the up to the readers. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he you know one he was the way I read
Speaker 1: that was. There was a letter that was published a
Speaker 1: couple of days before Aldrich wrote that piece, and the
Speaker 1: letter essentially said the same thing that the letter was.
Speaker 1: The letter writer was saying that they shouldn't have hired
Speaker 1: him because of, you know, these past transgressions. But you know,
Speaker 1: the way Aldrich lated it out there was that, you know,
Speaker 1: Brenneman apparently declared that, you know, he's a he's a
Speaker 1: staunch supporter of Trump, and then tied that in with
Speaker 1: Trump's unrelenting attack on the LGBT community. So he was
Speaker 1: sort of questioning the sincerity that Brennanman has had when
Speaker 1: it comes to, you know, apologizing for you know, whatever
Speaker 1: behavior he was guilty of.
Speaker 17: Well, I think if you listen to Kevin, he's clearly
Speaker 17: a bleeding on leftist.
Speaker 1: Well that that may be true, But you know, I
Speaker 1: I've had him on the show a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and we've always had some honest discussions, and I certainly
Speaker 1: hope that'll continue in the future. But Too Sweet, we
Speaker 1: got to run. I appreciate the call, appreciate you check
Speaker 1: it in brother, all right, take care? Too Sweet. Always
Speaker 1: good to hear his voice. Seven twenty six on fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC The Talk Station fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Speaker 1: A Minute of Hope is brought to you by the
Speaker 1: Lendard R see the Talk station seven thirty on this
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas. One more day,
Speaker 1: Kevin Gordon'll be here tomorrow morning, and I get to
Speaker 1: welcome in one of my one of my all time
Speaker 1: favorite guests, Zeke Arkham is a prolific poster on different
Speaker 1: types of social media. I follow him on X but
Speaker 1: I would, I would imagine or recommend that you follow
Speaker 1: him just on any social media outlet you possibly can.
Speaker 1: And Zeke Arkham, it is great to have you back
Speaker 1: on the radio fifty five KRC. How are you this morning?
Speaker 1: Thanks for getting up early. By the way, You're welcome,
Speaker 1: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: How are you, my friend? I'm good to have me
Speaker 2: on again.
Speaker 1: I'm good. It's it's always great to have you on.
Speaker 1: And I see now you're calling yourself a professional roaster.
Speaker 1: I love that because I say someone gets in your crosshairs,
Speaker 1: they're going to get it pretty good. You know a
Speaker 1: lot of.
Speaker 2: People tell me don't see the trols. I've seed them.
Speaker 2: Just be as the entertainment for me. You know, if
Speaker 2: you if you come at me, I'm gonna Mickey pay
Speaker 2: for it. And I pretty much got a queen record,
Speaker 2: so I like doing it.
Speaker 1: It is it is amazing to me how many people
Speaker 1: choose to come after you, and they do so to
Speaker 1: their regret, I think eventually, And I'm gonna get to
Speaker 1: that probably here in a little bit. But let me
Speaker 1: ask you. You're in the You're in the belly of
Speaker 1: the beast. You're there in New York. And Letitia James
Speaker 1: that this story that that broke late I guess it
Speaker 1: was Tuesday night and during the day yesterday and continues
Speaker 1: on into today about she may have falsified this documentation
Speaker 1: when it comes to getting mortgage loans pretty much the
Speaker 1: exact same thing that she went after President Trump for.
Speaker 1: How is all this playing in New York? I would
Speaker 1: imagine that this is a pretty big story in your
Speaker 1: neck of the woods.
Speaker 2: Well, thankfully, I'm on Long Island, which is which is
Speaker 2: a lot more red than New York City, which thank god,
Speaker 2: because I'm running out of places to move to. But
Speaker 2: you know, listen that old adage, if you come out
Speaker 2: after the king, you better not miss and she missed.
Speaker 2: They all did, and Trumps president and I have no
Speaker 2: problem with him now going okay, well, let's let's turn
Speaker 2: the lens back on you. Now, let's see what you've
Speaker 2: got going on. And it terms you know, she's she
Speaker 2: lived in a glasshouse, and she threw stones, and now
Speaker 2: some stones are getting thrown back at her. And I
Speaker 2: can't wait to see how this develops. You know, I
Speaker 2: wanted to see her have to answer now. I want
Speaker 2: to see her after a paint a test for what
Speaker 2: she's got going on. So, you know, she she missed,
Speaker 2: the whole Democrat Party missed. You know, we all knew
Speaker 2: this was a bogus trial to begin with when she
Speaker 2: went after him from oligo, and there's been absolutely nothing
Speaker 2: of substance that's come out of that. And I want
Speaker 2: to see how this hole shapes out and if if
Speaker 2: she's if she was caught with her hand in the
Speaker 2: cookie jar, I want to see her pay for it. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The New York Post is having a field day
Speaker 1: with this. How how much fun is it to uh
Speaker 1: to to get up every morning and and and find
Speaker 1: out what the cover of the New York Post is
Speaker 1: going to be? Because they are just uh, I mean,
Speaker 1: they are covering this like nobody's business.
Speaker 2: The Post isn't is a newspaper around here in New
Speaker 2: York that uh they lean right, but they get a
Speaker 2: lot of things wrong. But uh, you know, listen, they
Speaker 2: their covers are unbeaten, you know, so they're they're they're
Speaker 2: pretty good with it. And to see her on the
Speaker 2: cover and she's looking she's got that look in her eye,
Speaker 2: you know, she's got that uh what I call the
Speaker 2: crying Jordan's face going on, because just her look is
Speaker 2: just like, oh no, what's going on here? You know.
Speaker 2: So I'm happy to see it. And like I said,
Speaker 2: you know, if this leads to a trial for her,
Speaker 2: that leads to her having to answer for what she's
Speaker 2: done the videos, if this is turnabout in fair play,
Speaker 2: like she said, no one is above the low. So
Speaker 2: I'm all ford, let's see. I want to see how
Speaker 2: this develops.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The the other story we've been talking about this
Speaker 1: morning is this Senator Van Holland, Chris van Holland went
Speaker 1: down to El Salvador, you know, pretended that he was
Speaker 1: going to go down there and meet with the leaders
Speaker 1: of Al Salvador, go into this prison and get this
Speaker 1: you know, this kil maar Armando Garcia out of prison
Speaker 1: and bring him back, bring him back home, he says
Speaker 1: to to Marylyn. And and you were commenting on your
Speaker 1: social media that you thought it was pretty ridiculous that
Speaker 1: this is the hill that Democrats are choosing to die on. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to illegals being in this
Speaker 1: country and this guy being an MS thirteen gang member,
Speaker 1: it is it just it It seems to me like
Speaker 1: it's the biggest blind spot that I've ever seen the
Speaker 1: Democrats looking at this, that that they want the you know,
Speaker 1: this guy is representative, representative and emblematic of just the
Speaker 1: most horrific and horrendous things that could be brought upon
Speaker 1: American citizens. And yet they're going down and reaching into
Speaker 1: the muck and the meyer and they want to bring
Speaker 1: this guy back and hold him up as an example
Speaker 1: of everything that's wrong with the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a typical Democrat response to anything
Speaker 2: Trump does. Right, they're going after a gang member, a
Speaker 2: bona fide gang member, MS thirteen gang member. You know,
Speaker 2: the last I checked MS thirteen, they're not exactly good people.
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have to say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like there goal to join MEMB their team.
Speaker 2: You know, they're like, well, what acts of benevolence have
Speaker 2: you committed? You know, what, what volunteer work have you
Speaker 2: done in order to get into at thirteen? You know
Speaker 2: they're not they're not you know, opening up soup kitchens
Speaker 2: across El Salvador exactly. So the fact that the Democrats,
Speaker 2: you know, this, this this, this uh elected official went
Speaker 2: to El Salvador, Like, you know, I'm going to make
Speaker 2: this my mission to go up to the l Salvadorian
Speaker 2: government and return with this man so he can lead
Speaker 2: a productive blacks across America. No, this is this is
Speaker 2: the hell you're dying on. This is what you want
Speaker 2: to do now. This is how you choose to spend
Speaker 2: taxpayer money because you didn't use your own money to
Speaker 2: get down there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: You you choose to spend taxpayer money to go to
Speaker 2: another nation to try to demand this person's release. This
Speaker 2: guy was a horrible person, and but this is typical
Speaker 2: of Democrats. This is a TDS level that they're at now,
Speaker 2: and they just make themselves look bad. You know. For me,
Speaker 2: I'm all for you know, let's let's get that approval
Speaker 2: rating for the Democrats down a couple more notches.
Speaker 1: So let you don't want to stoping from digging and
Speaker 1: just let them. Let them keep digging. They're they're you know,
Speaker 1: they're going the way we want them to go, So
Speaker 1: why stand in their way if they're going to do that? Zeke,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a hold on real quick. We
Speaker 1: got to get to a quick break here in a
Speaker 1: little uh weather update, and we will continue on the
Speaker 1: other side with my buddy Zeke Arkham on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 10: The talk stays fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: Hello, fifty five KRC, the talk station, continuing our conversation
Speaker 1: with my buddy Zeke Arkham and Uh. Zeke Arkham. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you this. One of the things you've been
Speaker 1: commenting on a lot, is this case involving Camarado Carmelo,
Speaker 1: Anthony uh and Austin Metcalf. First of all, how did
Speaker 1: this case reach the celebrity status that it has in
Speaker 1: your opinion? And then this news that came out yesterday
Speaker 1: that this family has raised so much money on I
Speaker 1: guess go fundme that that they are now living in
Speaker 1: in a house, renting a house in a gated community.
Speaker 1: They've got a brand new car. What kind of signaling
Speaker 1: is this it's going on from this family to I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess their supporters. What what's up with this case?
Speaker 2: I legitimately have no idea, Dan, I wish I could
Speaker 2: tell you, but I'm just seeing a lot of ugliness
Speaker 2: coming out of it from both sides, From all sides. Honestly,
Speaker 2: You've got black folks who are raising this person as
Speaker 2: some sort of pariah, you know, on their behalf, saying
Speaker 2: that this is you know, this is the hill they
Speaker 2: want to die on, so to speak. You've got the
Speaker 2: right meaning people who are now trying to raise this
Speaker 2: as as their person now. And and you know, it's
Speaker 2: just it's going back and forth, and there's a lot
Speaker 2: of other us coming out of it. I don't know
Speaker 2: what the facts are. I'm hearing different things about when
Speaker 2: the house was leased, when the when the car was brought.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm sort of taking a stance now. Well
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take back and I'm gonna wait for the
Speaker 2: sax to come out, because you know, I want to
Speaker 2: see exactly what happened. I wanted to see exactly what
Speaker 2: the testimony is. I want to see exactly you know,
Speaker 2: just what the story is, what the whole story is.
Speaker 2: But I stand by what I said when I said
Speaker 2: judges shouldn't be activists, And I don't know if bail
Speaker 2: should ever be lowered, especially when you have a dead body.
Speaker 2: You know, you have someone who brought a weapon to
Speaker 2: a track meet and used it. Whether he was a
Speaker 2: good kid before that or not, you know, he still
Speaker 2: brought a weapon to a track meet. And you know,
Speaker 2: if it was a shoving match, if it was if
Speaker 2: it was a fight that happened, you still have someone
Speaker 2: who died. You still have a kid who didn't get
Speaker 2: to get home with his parents. So you know, I
Speaker 2: don't think the judge should have lord bale. I don't,
Speaker 2: you know. But uh, you know, like I said, let's
Speaker 2: see what happens with this, and let's see what the
Speaker 2: whole story is before we all start getting emotional about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if if you look at the media, at
Speaker 1: least as I look at the media coverage on this,
Speaker 1: it certainly is apparent to me would.
Speaker 2: Higher part to demonize Austin Metcalf. You know, they they've
Speaker 2: been handling Carmelo Anthony from what I've seen with kid gloves.
Speaker 2: But like I said, You've got dness for me from
Speaker 2: both sides because this is this has definitely been a
Speaker 2: racially charged event. I made the point on another interview
Speaker 2: where I said, but the biggest tragedy of all is
Speaker 2: that if both kids have been black, this, this wouldn't
Speaker 2: been covered. This just would have been another This just
Speaker 2: would have been another incident that happens. So I mean,
Speaker 2: you're looking at, you know, two families now whose lives
Speaker 2: will be changed for the rest of their lives now,
Speaker 2: and you're looking at two students who their lives will
Speaker 2: be changed. And you're looking at one student who he's
Speaker 2: not gonna have life. You know, you're looking at another
Speaker 2: student who is going to pay the consequences for what
Speaker 2: he did. And he made a bad decision one day
Speaker 2: and he's gonna pay for it. So you know, like
Speaker 2: I said, I want I want to see how the
Speaker 2: trial holds out. I want to see what stats come out.
Speaker 2: I want to see what happens. And but you know,
Speaker 2: I say that both sides, this is not the hill
Speaker 2: to die on. This is not the hill now to
Speaker 2: get out, you know, the worst to put the worst
Speaker 2: of of of our representation, of our representation and our
Speaker 2: representatives in front. So you know, like I said, just
Speaker 2: let's see what's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one thing you post about quite frequently is
Speaker 1: is your daughter and the way you are trying to
Speaker 1: raise her and bring her up and you know, have
Speaker 1: the have the values that you have and the things
Speaker 1: that you want to be instilled in her. And it's
Speaker 1: amazing to me how much constant criticism that people have
Speaker 1: because of the way you talk about It's obviously obviously
Speaker 1: how much you love her and care about her, but
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me the amount of criticism that people
Speaker 1: have when you talk about the things that you think
Speaker 1: that are important and the way that she ought to
Speaker 1: be brought up. I just I just you know, again,
Speaker 1: where do people get off thinking that they have, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, some some some right of way to come
Speaker 1: at you for talking about the way you want to
Speaker 1: raise your daughter.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's why you know what I probably say it. Yes,
Speaker 2: I am indoctrinating my daughter. It's not it's not the
Speaker 2: teacher's job at her school to indoctrinate her. It's not
Speaker 2: the teacher's job at her school to try to, you know,
Speaker 2: move her in one direction or another. No, I'm her parents,
Speaker 2: between my wife and I to to raise her up
Speaker 2: the way we think she should be brought up, raise
Speaker 2: her up with our values. Yes, I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 2: saying that. Absolutely, that's that's what we're doing. You know.
Speaker 2: We we have a chance to send her to a
Speaker 2: Christian academy and their values reflect ours. And yes, we're
Speaker 2: going to do everything we can just try to get
Speaker 2: her into the school because we like to brought up
Speaker 2: a certain way. And when people go, well, you know,
Speaker 2: you're doctoring her. Yeah, well yeah, that that's our job
Speaker 2: as parents, you know, it's not is that our job
Speaker 2: to just kind of just leave her out there and
Speaker 2: be wild. No, we want her to to reflect what
Speaker 2: we what we what we uh, what we follow. So
Speaker 2: you know, I say, under shamedly, yeah, yeah, I'm one
Speaker 2: hundred percent doing that. And if you have a problem
Speaker 2: with that, there is literally nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 2: So cry more.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're you're leading by example and uh and
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, you know, that's probably one of
Speaker 1: the very best things you can do. And uh, if
Speaker 1: more people were following you and looking at what you did,
Speaker 1: I think, you know this, the world in general would
Speaker 1: be a better place. So Zeke, if people want to
Speaker 1: follow you, I know I'm following you on X. Where
Speaker 1: else can people find you on? On social media?
Speaker 2: You can find me at Zeke Arkham z E E
Speaker 2: k A r k H A m over on X
Speaker 2: and over on Instagram and I invade the TikTok world
Speaker 2: just like Trump did. But I'm over there as real
Speaker 2: Zeke Oukham, so yeah, you can find me. I'm branching

Speaker 18: five KRC the talk.
Speaker 1: Station fifty five krc DE Talk Station, Dan Carroll till
Speaker 1: nine this morning. My buddy Jim fab from the Conservative
Speaker 1: Caucus coming up after the news at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour, and I read earlier a piece about a
Speaker 1: little breakdown of the way the NGOs were and found
Speaker 1: another piece while I was getting ready for the show
Speaker 1: today ABOUTI DEI research in universities, and it was written
Speaker 1: by Casey Ryan at the at the Dally Caller and
Speaker 1: Casey Ryan writes with President Trump and his administration cutting
Speaker 1: federal funding from major universities for promoting diversity, equality inclusion initiatives,
Speaker 1: and allowing anti semitism in some Americans, especially students, may
Speaker 1: be concerned with how this affects their education. Despite their concerns,
Speaker 1: the situation is not as dire as it appears. Impacted
Speaker 1: universities have not exactly been clear or completely honest about
Speaker 1: the grants that they lost. Trump administration at first pause
Speaker 1: four hundred million in federal funding from Columbia last month.
Speaker 1: That was followed in April by the administration pausing over
Speaker 1: a billion to Cornell, seven hundred and ninety million to
Speaker 1: Northwestern University, five hundred and ten million to Brown. The
Speaker 1: US Department of Health and Human Services says data publicly
Speaker 1: available on many of the grants that were eliminated. These
Speaker 1: terminated grants exposed just how wasteful the universities were with
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. Columbia University, for example, wasted nearly forty seven
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on personal healthcare networks of transgender and gender
Speaker 1: diverse adults after gender affirming surgery, over a million dollars
Speaker 1: for the university's new Anga Center for Climate Justice, Health
Speaker 1: Equity and Community well Being. Again, can anyone explain to
Speaker 1: me what any of that means? Climate justice, health equity
Speaker 1: and community well being in East Africa, So it's not
Speaker 1: even the United States thing. But we spent a million
Speaker 1: dollars on that and gave it to Columbia University in
Speaker 1: East Africa. That's where that center is. Four hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to study pride to enhance cancer screening guidelines for
Speaker 1: transgender users of gender affirming hormones. These are just a
Speaker 1: few of more than the one hundred and sixty terminated
Speaker 1: grants listed for Colombia, with a majority based on DEI
Speaker 1: and radical gender ideology research. But Brown University was just
Speaker 1: as bad. Brown University spent nearly one point three million
Speaker 1: on examining health comorbidities healthcare utilization disparities among older transgender
Speaker 1: and cisgender adults in the United States. I mean, if
Speaker 1: that sounds like mumbo jumbo to you, it's because it
Speaker 1: is seven hundred thousand dollars on intervention to enhance prep
Speaker 1: persistence among African American men who have sex with men
Speaker 1: and three hundred and fifty thousand dollars on making universal
Speaker 1: free of charge anti retroviral therapy for sexual and gender
Speaker 1: minority youth in Brazil. Again, more mumbo jumbo, more money laundering,
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on and on and the again.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of stuff that the Trump administration
Speaker 1: is saying no to. And we were talking about Harvard
Speaker 1: yesterday with their fifty four billion dollar endowment, and they're
Speaker 1: complaining about the money that Trumpet administration is withholding from
Speaker 1: them because they want to continue to allow anti Semitism
Speaker 1: to run wild on their campus. Seven fifty five at
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC, the talk station covering Trump's first one
Speaker 1: hundred days.
Speaker 11: Every day, America's deadline is.
Speaker 1: Over fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 10: This report is sponsored by Austin.
Speaker 1: The final hour of the fifty five KRC morning show,
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for being here. I'm glad to be here, and Kevin
Speaker 1: Gordon will be here tomorrow morning, bright in early five am,
Speaker 1: so make sure you are dialed in for that time
Speaker 1: to bring in my next guest. Jim faff is the uh,
Speaker 1: the main man at the Conservative Caucus. What exactly is
Speaker 1: your title there, Jim, I had it right there on
Speaker 1: the tip of my tongue. But you're like the president
Speaker 1: or the you know, the grand Pooba or something like that.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I am the grand Pooba. I'm the president,
Speaker 4: and for those Spanish speakers, that's el President and chief
Speaker 4: chief bottle washer, right exactly. There's not a dirty bottle
Speaker 4: in the place outstanding.
Speaker 1: But Jim, it's great, it's great to have you on.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question this Judge Boseburg. In
Speaker 1: your opinion, is this guy a little bit out of
Speaker 1: control with you know, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say he's entirely out of control. I mean,
Speaker 4: you're you know, I'm sure lawyers like to argue about
Speaker 4: these things, but when you're when you're talking about a
Speaker 4: case with such prominence, where the Supreme Court so fully
Speaker 4: rejected your ideas and you have the audacity to do this,
Speaker 4: it's and it's you're and against the politician. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's one thing that you've got some corporate leader, uh
Speaker 4: does something wins an appellate court, but there was really
Speaker 4: technically something that we're trying to get by with and
Speaker 4: whatever you can There are a lot of ways that
Speaker 4: you can skin this cap, but that ain't one of them.
Speaker 4: When you've got a political situation.
Speaker 1: Like this, it's then the Supreme Court also say that
Speaker 1: this was not his Uh, he didn't have standing here,
Speaker 1: that it was out of his jurisdiction, and that he shouldn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly right. But see, this is how lawfair works.
Speaker 4: You go into technicalities because you have some other deep
Speaker 4: motive behind you. The Bible hates this stuff. God hates
Speaker 4: this stuff. This is called tipping the scales, you know,
Speaker 4: and and have having false balances. That's exactly what Bosberg
Speaker 4: is doing. It's literally, it's literally a spiritual judgment on
Speaker 4: a nation that we countenance this sort of thing, and
Speaker 4: we've we've got to actually go against it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard a news reporter as I was on
Speaker 1: my way into the station this morning, and they were
Speaker 1: talking about this Boseburg thing, and and the reporter for
Speaker 1: the network was saying that the Trump administration supported all
Speaker 1: these you know, all these alleged gang members, all these
Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang members to El Salvador without any evidence
Speaker 1: that they were in the country illegally. What do you
Speaker 1: what do you make of that. When you hear news reporters,
Speaker 1: alleged news reporters use that term without any evidence, without
Speaker 1: presenting any evidence, what does that say to you?
Speaker 4: When you hear that, It says to me that it's
Speaker 4: entirely political. It says to me that they're not at
Speaker 4: all even judging the situation for what it actually is,
Speaker 4: and that there's no fairness or truth related to anything
Speaker 4: that they think. You know, the wanton disregard for reality
Speaker 4: and truth in the media and in our course, as
Speaker 4: far as it goes with Bozberg and many others, is
Speaker 4: a stain upon the way that this country was founded
Speaker 4: an imperfect but good people who sought to create a
Speaker 4: system that would be fair and honest and then allow people,
Speaker 4: for whatever good bad are and different decisions that they
Speaker 4: made for them to pay the price for that on
Speaker 4: their own. But no, we have we're twisting things entirely.
Speaker 4: This is literally even well beyond the kind of propagandistic
Speaker 4: efforts that you would get out of out of the
Speaker 4: Russian media during the Cold War. I mean, just the
Speaker 4: outrage you knew that they were lying all the time,
Speaker 4: you could hear it. They would formulate it in words
Speaker 4: that seemed to connect with truth in some way, but
Speaker 4: you knew that it was absolutely false.
Speaker 2: And I mean, it's amazing when we.
Speaker 4: Watch the once in disregard for truth. Thank goodness, we're
Speaker 4: we can now define women so we can get back
Speaker 4: to that truth again. But other than that, these people
Speaker 4: are outrageous.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was talking earlier this week about and the
Speaker 1: media it constantly makes a big deal about Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: and the oligachy tour that he is on, and he's
Speaker 1: warning about oligarchy at every turn, and I guess he's
Speaker 1: paling around with a Casio Cortes and she's raising millions
Speaker 1: of dollars and that's you know, I mean, here we are,
Speaker 1: we haven't even been in the second Trump administration for
Speaker 1: three months yet, and we're supposed to turn our attention
Speaker 1: to what's going to happen in twenty twenty eight. Do
Speaker 1: we as conservatives have any real reason to be concerned
Speaker 1: about Bernie Sanders or a Casio Cortez going around and
Speaker 1: pumping up these crowds and you know, with bass Trump
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, at the moment, no, because Democrats have such low
Speaker 4: numbers in the polls, it seems to indicate that the
Speaker 4: message is not penetrating. So at the moment, it's not
Speaker 4: so bad. But I'll tell you what my worry is.
Speaker 4: It's not AOC and Bernie Sanders. My worry is Republicans
Speaker 4: in Congress. It's like, get off your duff guys, and
Speaker 4: go ahead and just pass the Trump agenda, Like just
Speaker 4: go for broke.
Speaker 1: Just do it one time.
Speaker 4: Maybe let's do what everyone wanted us to do, and
Speaker 4: then just let's just see how that plays out. And
Speaker 4: Republicans have been and not all Republicans in Congress, but
Speaker 4: most of them right across the river there we have
Speaker 4: a really good one, Thomas Massey. But some of these
Speaker 4: guys don't want to do what the American people are
Speaker 4: telling them they'd like to do. And this is why
Speaker 4: Republicans are so weak in the eyes of people over time,
Speaker 4: because they throw that away. But this is a supreme
Speaker 4: opportunity to give the American people what they're begging for,
Speaker 4: what they're yearning for.
Speaker 2: This was a mass.
Speaker 4: Don't don't forget this this and this is a massive
Speaker 4: realignment in the electorate this last time around. You had
Speaker 4: middle class people, you had union people, you had young
Speaker 4: people all going with Donald Trump voting for him and
Speaker 4: giving him a majority. Now, let's just understand what a
Speaker 4: Hispanic too, a biggest movement in Hispanic community. Let's let's
Speaker 4: just take a close look at what that really means
Speaker 4: and what those people are really concerned about. They're not
Speaker 4: concerned about what Bernie Sanders and ALC is talking about.
Speaker 4: They're not sitting around saying, I hope Elon Musk doesn't
Speaker 4: have my Social Security number, which he doesn't have. They're
Speaker 4: don't sitting around worried that Doge wants to cut government services.
Speaker 4: They're tired of paying for government services. So just take
Speaker 4: the message, guys and get the win. But Bernie Sanders
Speaker 4: and AFC know they've lost that base and so they're
Speaker 4: desperately doing anything they can to get it. So far,
Speaker 4: it's not penetrating beyond their ability to get some crowds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but when you touched on something that
Speaker 1: I think is really important, and it has long been
Speaker 1: a frustration of mine and others who are conservative that
Speaker 1: I know of, but that in Congress, when it comes
Speaker 1: time for the rubber to hit the road, so many
Speaker 1: that we rely on in Congress to carry out the
Speaker 1: agenda wind up sitting on their hands. And when you look,
Speaker 1: you know, when I look at everything that's going on
Speaker 1: with the Trump administration this time around, I can't figure
Speaker 1: out why they are choosing to act that way. You know,
Speaker 1: we just passed another continuing resolution. You know Trump wants this,
Speaker 1: you know, the big beautiful budget resolution bill with all
Speaker 1: the different stuff in it. And you know there are
Speaker 1: things happening in Congress to delay this procedurally and otherwise.
Speaker 1: And I don't know why they act like this time
Speaker 1: and time and time again, especially this time around, when
Speaker 1: it seems there's so much momentum in their favor.
Speaker 4: Well, never underestimate how invested a certain group of Republicans
Speaker 4: in Congress are to everything that's been going on prior
Speaker 4: to this year. That this is a really bad system.
Speaker 4: I lived in it for eight nine years with and I.
Speaker 4: You know, we had all the lobbyists come to our offices,
Speaker 4: the two guys I work for, and then and sometimes
Speaker 4: then after a while you stop.
Speaker 2: Having them coming.
Speaker 4: These people are invested in a system that is on
Speaker 4: cruise control, where they know that they can go grab
Speaker 4: up money here and grab up money there. And I'm
Speaker 4: not just talking about the lobbies. So I'm talking to
Speaker 4: the people they represent. Like, we've got a system where
Speaker 4: major corporations, particularly in the food industry is just a
Speaker 4: one recent example has been discussed. You know that you've
Speaker 4: got big corporations there that do not want to have
Speaker 4: any competition from small actors that they've sick cessfully driven
Speaker 4: out of their markets. That happens in many industries, banking
Speaker 4: and many other places too. It's called regulatory capture where
Speaker 4: the corporations really are running what the regulations are through
Speaker 4: these efforts. And they're Republicans who have been bought into
Speaker 4: this system. So that's one of the corrupting factors. And
Speaker 4: as you and I have talked about before, I know
Speaker 4: I've brought this up with you. I concern myself that
Speaker 4: these people who are not independently wealthy that get elected
Speaker 4: to Congress because they just want to do something good.
Speaker 4: They get that one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars
Speaker 4: a year paycheck, and if they ever lose an election,
Speaker 4: then they got to literally start all over in their
Speaker 4: careers because it's really that all consuming and overwhelming of
Speaker 4: job to do. You can give no attention to your career.
Speaker 4: Why you're a congressman. So they're scared about what will
Speaker 4: happen if they lose, and they're setting up that three
Speaker 4: hundred and four hundred thousand dollars a year lobbying job literally,
Speaker 4: and there's about a third of people that roll off
Speaker 4: of Congress that go into jobs like this. And this
Speaker 4: is the other thing. So you don't want to vote
Speaker 4: wrong because you at that lobbying firm.
Speaker 1: To hire you at.
Speaker 4: They're of other things too.
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen on the other side, Jim Faffs, stay
Speaker 1: right there. We got to work in a quick break
Speaker 1: and we will continue on with Jim faff on the

Speaker 18: KRC Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRZ eight twenty on this Thursday morning, Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll in for Brian Thomas. We continue our conversation with
Speaker 1: Jim Paff of the Conservative Caucus, and Jim a couple
Speaker 1: of polls that I'm looking at here. One is an
Speaker 1: Erasmussen poll shows voters overwhelmingly support the idea of illegal
Speaker 1: aliens not voting in US elections. And then I look
Speaker 1: at this other poll that shows Trump's approval rating at
Speaker 1: fifty four percent, now the highest since he's been in office,
Speaker 1: since he was sworn in back in January. And as
Speaker 1: I see it, I see a direct correlation between these
Speaker 1: two things. That Trump ran on an agenda, he is
Speaker 1: doing everything he can to enact that agenda, and the
Speaker 1: American people so far at this point, approve of just
Speaker 1: about everything that's been going on.
Speaker 4: There is no disconnection between the American people and Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: That had built up so politically emotionally in the mindset
Speaker 4: of the American people. Donald Trump really still resonates with people.
Speaker 4: And by the way, it's anything politics, as you know,
Speaker 4: can change overnight. Things can go bad at any time.
Speaker 4: But when politicians who get elected by us do what
Speaker 4: we ask them to do, they respond positively. And fortunately
Speaker 4: for Republicans in Congress so far, they see Donald Trump
Speaker 4: performing because if they were paying close attention to what
Speaker 4: Republicans were doing in Congress, they might have a different opinion.
Speaker 4: And we've had that many times, like we got that
Speaker 4: with other Republican presidents. George W. Bush in my mind,
Speaker 4: really you know, he was able to get re elected
Speaker 4: great fine, but by the end of his term, people
Speaker 4: were so disgusted for the war, over the way that
Speaker 4: even the economy was running. They rejected him in two
Speaker 4: thousand and six because of this, by giving Democrats Congress.
Speaker 4: If Republicans are in Congress are not careful and they've
Speaker 4: not been absolutely horrible, I want to give him credit
Speaker 4: for that. They got the nominee through and they're still
Speaker 4: pushing some of those through that linger the House has
Speaker 4: actually been better in the Senate in a way, but
Speaker 4: if they don't really press this agenda and potify what
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is doing, they may have a tough run
Speaker 4: next year. Now that seems hard to believe because the
Speaker 4: other polls are that Democrats are at twenty one percent
Speaker 4: approval rating, you know, but Republicans are only a little
Speaker 4: bit above that at thirty nine percent. So this is
Speaker 4: a precarious political tightrope that these politicians walk, and they
Speaker 4: need to do what the Americans want them to do,
Speaker 4: what Americans want.
Speaker 2: Them to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when they to my way of thinking, it's
Speaker 1: pretty easy to look at the example that Trump is
Speaker 1: setting that whatever the issue is, you don't run from it,
Speaker 1: you don't hide from it. He puts out his people.
Speaker 1: I mean every weekend, I see jd Vance, I see
Speaker 1: Scott Descent, I see Lutnik, I see Pam BONDI I
Speaker 1: see Christy Nome of Homeland Security. I see them on
Speaker 1: all the Sunday shows. And it doesn't matter ABC, NBC, CBS,
Speaker 1: They're on all the Sunday shows, CNN, all the rest
Speaker 1: of it. Every time that you turn around, you've got
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio who is schooling, absolutely schooling the media on
Speaker 1: different issues. And so don't run from it, don't hide
Speaker 1: from you know something that the media doesn't like and
Speaker 1: they want to throw it back in your face. Own it,
Speaker 1: double down on it. Explain to the American people what
Speaker 1: your position is and why you're doing what you are doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it is so hard for you know,
Speaker 1: when we talk about those in Congress, to look at
Speaker 1: the example that Trump is setting, and all you have
Speaker 1: to do is follow that example, and I think the
Speaker 1: results will speak for themselves.
Speaker 2: Well, actually it will.
Speaker 4: And this speaks to the leadership of Donald Trump. Though ultimately,
Speaker 4: because none of you know who a president chooses in
Speaker 4: their cabinet, even for their vice president. Although I'm a
Speaker 4: big fan of Jada Vance, those people aren't really the
Speaker 4: ones that directly got elected. I mean Jade Vance maybe
Speaker 4: slightly more. But Donald Trump has been through the gauntlet
Speaker 4: and he's been fearless about facing that gauntlet. And it's
Speaker 4: proof and it took no little time for it to
Speaker 4: be overwhelming in an electoral sense. Actually I think it
Speaker 4: was overwhelming in twenty twenty, but we won't readjudicate that.
Speaker 4: But the American people appreciate leadership when it's done in
Speaker 4: a way that is not corrupt and tried to twist them.
Speaker 4: The American people pick up when politicians are trying to
Speaker 4: put their arms behind their back and make them say uncle.
Speaker 4: Donald Trump doesn't do that to the American people. He
Speaker 4: respects the American people, and he did that by picking
Speaker 4: great people. This time. He learned everything that he needed
Speaker 4: to learn first his first administration, and he applied that
Speaker 4: and more in this one. That's why you're seeing that now.
Speaker 4: Republicans need to learn from the leadership aspect of Donald
Speaker 4: Trump and the fearlessness and courage aspect of Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: because the American people will run with you if you'll
Speaker 4: run with them. And even though you had the entire
Speaker 4: bureaucracy in three letter agencies and lawfair coming against him,
Speaker 4: he was still running with the American people. They rewarded
Speaker 4: him at the polls, and they'll reward any politician at
Speaker 4: the polls that will do what they're wanting and understand
Speaker 4: it well.
Speaker 1: Well, Jim, as usual, our time flies right by before
Speaker 1: I let you go, though. You have an event coming
Speaker 1: up on April twenty third that features Rod Magloyovitch of
Speaker 1: all people, and tell us about that event and if
Speaker 1: people want to find out about it. What do they
Speaker 1: do about that?
Speaker 4: Well, it's up in Chicago at the Drake Oakbrook on
Speaker 4: April twenty third. As you say, Boivin, who's just a
Speaker 4: passionate supporter of Donald Trump and a friend of mine.
Speaker 4: We just have him speaking in Chicago right his.
Speaker 1: Townsor that's right.
Speaker 4: But we've also got George Papadopolis will be there as
Speaker 4: well too, who's also a good friend. And then some
Speaker 4: folks locally have been fighting against this trans bathroom and
Speaker 4: locker room issue that have just made amazing progress. And
Speaker 4: so we're gonna we're celebrating freedom. The people can go
Speaker 4: to Theconservativecaucus dot org if they have some interest in
Speaker 4: that or our organization, and of course if they just
Speaker 4: want to be effective in their community on boots on
Speaker 4: the ground action just to overturn this what stupid politicians do,
Speaker 4: they can go to the Conservative Caucus dot org and
Speaker 4: just sign up at the top right there, get involved,
Speaker 4: and we've got lots of training and so forth available
Speaker 4: to people if they want to figure out how to
Speaker 4: be effective where they are at all.
Speaker 1: Right, Jim Faff, so great talking to you and always
Speaker 1: great having you, and I always appreciate the time, my friend,
Speaker 1: and uh, take care of yourself and hopefully we'll get
Speaker 1: to do it again before too long.
Speaker 4: Thanks Dan, you're a good friend. Appreciate it all right.

Speaker 1: I I'm trying to think when it was I I
Speaker 1: first found out about it. It was late last year's
Speaker 1: well or maybe early last year. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: get I get my times mixed up, but I've had
Speaker 1: that guy on a number of times and he's just
Speaker 1: just terrific, and I want to thank him for his
Speaker 1: time this morning. Always great to have him on. Gavin
Speaker 1: some who will no doubt run for president and probably
Speaker 1: this next election cycle, has spent another two point eight
Speaker 1: billion dollars to bail out the Medicaid program medical which
Speaker 1: he opened up to all the illegals and you know,
Speaker 1: all the if you're illegal, come to California, free medical care.
Speaker 1: Two point eight billion. Newsom had requested another loan of
Speaker 1: three point four billion to cover the program's six point
Speaker 1: two billion dollar deficit six point two billion dollars. The
Speaker 1: new funding will cover only medical expenses for fifteen million beneficiaries,
Speaker 1: including one point six million illegals, until June, so this
Speaker 1: is a short term band aid for what's happening in California.
Speaker 1: The number of illegals living in California is estimated to
Speaker 1: be about three million, according to Department of Homeland Security,
Speaker 1: suggesting that over half were receiving free health care. Additionally,
Speaker 1: the cost of covering them has increased from a projected
Speaker 1: six billion dollars to eight point four billion for fiscal
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five. The cost will fall slightly
Speaker 1: for the next fiscal year to seven point four. Trump's
Speaker 1: deportations could also significantly reduce that cost. So there you go.
Speaker 1: The Trumpster is helping out our friends in California getting
Speaker 1: some of the illegals out of there. Newsom has previously
Speaker 1: boasted the deep blue state could provide healthcare for everyone,
Speaker 1: regardless of their immigration status. With these new investments, California
Speaker 1: will become the first st aid to achieve universal access
Speaker 1: to health care coverage. Hecent We're investing California's historic surplus
Speaker 1: to accomplish transformative changes we've long dream of. Really health
Speaker 1: care for every illegal that enters the state, and just
Speaker 1: I mean, I talk about these things that the newsom
Speaker 1: does when I get the chance, because I just want
Speaker 1: people to remember that that when this guy runs for president,
Speaker 1: which I have no doubt that he will, we will
Speaker 1: be inundated by national media telling us how great, you know,
Speaker 1: how young, how vibrant this guy is talking about how
Speaker 1: all the great things he did for California. I mean,
Speaker 1: to my way of thinking, this is right up there
Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris bragging about providing free sex change operations
Speaker 1: for inmates in the California penal system. How well did
Speaker 1: that work for her? Not very well at all. Eight
Speaker 1: thirty six fifty five KRC, the talk.
Speaker 10: Station, fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the talk STATIONNAKE forty, got Marine on
Speaker 1: the line. I want to hear from Maureen wants to
Speaker 1: talk about DEI universities, and I just want to finish
Speaker 1: up the piece I was reading earlier, talking about Brown
Speaker 1: and Northwestern and these Ivy League schools. But the piece
Speaker 1: I was reading is in the Daily Caller written by
Speaker 1: Casey Ryan, and Casey Ryan writes about deis depressing as
Speaker 1: it sounds DEI programs are to be expected these days
Speaker 1: from Ivy League universities. They were captured by left wing
Speaker 1: ideologies decades ago. But what is surprising is the number
Speaker 1: of grants that Trump administration has also eliminated from universities
Speaker 1: in red states. In one example, the University of Mississippi
Speaker 1: spent thirty five thousand dollars on cross sex steroid therapy
Speaker 1: and cardiovascular risk in the transgender female. The University of
Speaker 1: Arkansas spent two million dollars to study universal basic income
Speaker 1: and structural racism in the South. University of Central Florida
Speaker 1: spent four hundred and ten thousand dollars to research facilitators
Speaker 1: of and barriers to healthcare utilization among racially and ethnically
Speaker 1: diverse transgender and gender non binary young adults. Anyone want
Speaker 1: to sean you want to try and diagram that sentence?
Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to these things? I mean just
Speaker 1: and the word again, the only word I can come
Speaker 1: up with on this is mumbo jumbo. They want to
Speaker 1: research Let me try this one more time. They want
Speaker 1: to research facilitators of and barriers to healthcare utilization among
Speaker 1: racially and ethnically diverse transgender and gender non binary young adults.
Speaker 1: Emery University spent one point seven million building community and
Speaker 1: research engagement among sexual and gender minority older adults at
Speaker 1: risk for Alzheimer's and related dementias. Nevada Las Vegas spend
Speaker 1: six on a fifty grand studying Alzheimer's disease and older
Speaker 1: transgend I mean all this transgender, this transgender that it
Speaker 1: is beyond ridiculous. And there are a number of corporations
Speaker 1: that have ditched these programs. Universities have too, and now
Speaker 1: at the funding being called off, hopefully we are seeing
Speaker 1: the last throws of this ridiculous idea. Hi, Maureen, you're
Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC. How are you this morning?
Speaker 3: A good thing? Thanks for taking my call. In relation
Speaker 3: to the DEI, there was a segment on Fox News
Speaker 3: about a couple of weeks ago, and it was entitled
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt Medical Centers hiding DEI resources behind password protected web page.
Speaker 3: And there's a nonprofit conservative group called Consumer Research and
Speaker 3: they unveiled a campaign and it's titled again, what is
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt Medical Center hiding? And it says that they are
Speaker 3: frantically trying to conceal its radical policies by password protecting
Speaker 3: and deleting web pages, highlighting its commitment to DEI in
Speaker 3: climate activism. And I have a personal experience with Vanderbilt University.
Speaker 3: A very close relative who was in her fifth year
Speaker 3: at Vanderbilt. She was required to get the vaccine even
Speaker 3: though she had been hospitalized at Vanderbilt University for anaphylaxis.
Speaker 3: And she has a hyper immune response to you know,
Speaker 3: certain things, very highly allergic, and so we fought for
Speaker 3: her to not get this vaccine through a medical exempt Vanderbilt.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't send any information from her medical records in
Speaker 3: that regard, I couldn't use it to fight the vaccine.
Speaker 3: While her individual doctor said, oh you know, I will
Speaker 3: send a letter. She sent a letter, they still denied it.
Speaker 3: I fought it to the nail. I won that battle.
Speaker 3: I won't go into detail how I want it, but
Speaker 3: she lives healthy to this day because of being able
Speaker 3: to fight that. But anyway, it's interesting because when it
Speaker 3: came time for her graduation, the guests speaks at graduation
Speaker 3: with Anthony Fauci. So I looked into the board. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: So interestingly enough, I have a little bits abound to
Speaker 3: pick even though she's got a great education. But they
Speaker 3: are hiding the DEI passwords, you know, through a protective password.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, and Kennedy Junior is looking into it, you know what,
Speaker 3: we're investigation.
Speaker 1: That does not surprise me at all. I mean, even
Speaker 1: though I don't have a lot of knowledge specifically about
Speaker 1: this particular issue. But it was a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago that Vanderbilt University was exposed for all these transgender
Speaker 1: surgeries that they were doing on children. And I remember
Speaker 1: seeing the video of the head of the hospital there
Speaker 1: telling the doctors that if you disagree with this and
Speaker 1: you need to go find another place to work. And
Speaker 1: the only thing they were concerned about was the money
Speaker 1: that they were bringing in. You know, these these surgeries
Speaker 1: on kids, which thankfully are being brought to a grinding
Speaker 1: halt here in the United States. But these surgeries and
Speaker 1: these therapies on kids turned them into lifelong patients. And
Speaker 1: the you know, the the university was just just I mean,
Speaker 1: they really they did it to themselves because the video
Speaker 1: of the conference they were having, what these doctors got
Speaker 1: out and they were talking about the money they can earn,
Speaker 1: how much they can charge the patients, and that the
Speaker 1: doctors need to get on board with this if they
Speaker 1: want to continue working there.
Speaker 10: Oh, I have not heard that, go back.
Speaker 1: And look it up.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: I think it was. It was a huge milestone and
Speaker 1: a turning point for the you know, for the for
Speaker 1: you know, the beginning of the end of this transgender
Speaker 1: nonsense that we got so deeply involved with here in
Speaker 1: the United States. But Maureen, I appreciate you listen, and
Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone call this morning.
Speaker 3: Thanks Dan.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much, Mareen. Eight forty six.
Speaker 1: We'll get to a quick break on fifty five KRC,
Speaker 1: The Talks fifty five the talk station. Get ready for
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC, the talk station, getting ready to wrap
Speaker 1: things up. I'm Dan Carroll. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: being here. Sean McMahon, thank you for everything. And it's
Speaker 1: been a fun week. Kevin Gordon gets to sit here tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so I always love my chance to be here at
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC. Sean McMahon, have you seen Bill Belichick's girlfriend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's like my age, she's your age, twenty four years old.
Speaker 1: He's going to be going to frat parties at UNC.
Speaker 1: He's a head coach now, yeah, at North Carolina. Did
Speaker 1: you know. Her name is Jordan Hudson. She's twenty four
Speaker 1: years old. She is going to be competing in the
Speaker 1: Miss USA pageant next month in Portland, Maine.
Speaker 9: Man, how about Belichick's got himself? Said yeah and all.
Speaker 9: So in the competition is an individual named Isabelle Saint Cyr,
Speaker 9: a twenty four year old male who identifies as female,
Speaker 9: is also set to compete in the Miss Main USA
Speaker 9: pageant at the same time. So you've got the real woman,
Speaker 9: Belichick's girlfriend against this dude who claims to.
Speaker 1: Be a woman. Says he's a little nervous going to
Speaker 1: compete in the beauty pageant. He says, did not in
Speaker 1: competition make a political statement. I'm just to win it
Speaker 1: because I love pageants and I just happened to be trans,
Speaker 1: and so we're going to see I guess say. You know,
Speaker 1: I've heard tell of trans individuals winning these competitions before.
Speaker 1: But you know, Bill Belichick made a big splash during
Speaker 1: one of the events last year where he showed up
Speaker 1: I think it was the SB Awards, and he showed
Speaker 1: up with his girlfriend who was just a few years
Speaker 1: his junior. He's running around with her. She's going to
Speaker 1: be in the miss Main competition. There are some photos
Speaker 1: I found this piece on Breitbart. There are some photos
Speaker 1: of this individual that she'll be competing against. And if
Speaker 1: she doesn't beat or at least finish ahead of this
Speaker 1: other dude, then something in Maine is very seriously wrong.
Speaker 1: And so God bless Bill Belichick. And if he can
Speaker 1: get it done hanging out with her, I say more
Speaker 1: power to him. Maybe one of my favorite stories that
Speaker 1: I saw this week, a homeless guy in California goes
Speaker 1: into a liquor store. Sounds like the beginning of a
Speaker 1: bad joke, but he goes into the liquor store, gets
Speaker 1: a scratch off ticket and hits the jackpot. Guy was
Speaker 1: so excited, jumping up and down. He says, is this real?
Speaker 1: So the manager of the store grabs a ticket, takes
Speaker 1: it over to the machine, and he says, dude, he says,
Speaker 1: you hit the jackpot, and the guy's jumping up and down,
Speaker 1: jumping up and down. He says, he says, I just
Speaker 1: want one hundred thousand dollars and the guy says, no, bro,
Speaker 1: you want a million dollars. Hit for a million. Homeless guy,
Speaker 1: hit for a million dollars. He says, guess what, I'm
Speaker 1: not homeless anymore. They had to go to Fresno to
Speaker 1: to cash the ticket, and the guy who owns a
Speaker 1: liquor store said, I'm going to drive you there. And
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he's telling the guy, look, you
Speaker 1: got to look out for this thing. You got to
Speaker 1: take care of this ticket. He said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: drive you there. The lottery winner says he plans to
Speaker 1: purchase a home, a car, invest some of it, put
Speaker 1: some savings aside. A spokesperson for the California Lottery, of
Speaker 1: course about you know, if it's a million dollars, you
Speaker 1: can you can figure about half of that is going
Speaker 1: to be gone in taxes. But the spokesperson for the
Speaker 1: lottery says there's a very thorough vetting process before warding
Speaker 1: the prize money. They want to ensure that they are
Speaker 1: giving it to the right person, which in this case,
Speaker 1: I don't know how it can be mistaken. The guy
Speaker 1: scratches off the ticket right there in front of the
Speaker 1: store owner the manager. They say it can take months
Speaker 1: and according to CNN, involves an interview with the winner
Speaker 1: to check and see if the person knows that state
Speaker 1: any money and a few other factors. How about that
Speaker 1: So California. Great story there, homeless dude hits a million
Speaker 1: dollar winner and says, guess what, I'm not homeless anymore.
Speaker 1: That is it for me. Thank you so much for listening,
Speaker 1: Have a great Thursday, a great Friday, and a great weekend,
Speaker 1: and we will see you on down the road. Sean McMahon,
Speaker 1: thank you for everything this week and until next time,
Speaker 1: take care of yourself and we will see you down
Speaker 1: the road. On fifty five KRCV talkstation
