WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Hop to be dug up what news will be next.

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a prophet. The Glenn Beck Program week days

3
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 2>had nine on fifty five krc alrighty, then fifty five

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>krc DE talk station five o five. On this Wednesday morning,

5
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>the day after, the day after, I send in my

6
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 2>tax returns Sean McMahon. I got him in under the wire,

7
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>so that massive burden has been relieved from my shoulders.

8
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I feel like I'm walking around this

9
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>morning twenty pounds later, well maybe one hundred pounds lighter

10
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>at that's a lot to carry around, man. Yeah, the

11
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>wallet was lightened considerably. But you know, just having that

12
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>you know when when you when you press that button

13
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>and you send them off and I did the electronic filing.

14
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>It's sad to see that, uh, that check. You know,

15
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 2>that that amount of money, uh, you know, the drift

16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>away and you know it'll it'll never see the light

17
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>of day again. But it's a it's a it's a relief,

18
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and I imagine there's a lot of people listening to

19
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>this show this morning they are feeling that same sense

20
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>of relief that that their taxes have been taken care of.

21
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>You got that behind you, and I'm swearing next year,

22
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna wait until the last minute. Yeah, we

23
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>will see, we will see what happens. But no, I said,

24
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>I said, there, I do mine on the turbo tax

25
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>and when you send it in, you get a you

26
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 2>get an update when the federal government accepts your tax,

27
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 2>RED says, you get a little email, you get a

28
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>little text message, and it says, good news, Dan, your

29
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>federal tax return has been accepted. And so the the

30
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 2>early evening was waning on last night, and I had

31
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 2>not received an update about my state taxes, and I

32
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>went back and before I could put my head down,

33
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I went and made sure that my state taxes were

34
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>indeed filed, but I had not had an update that

35
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>my taxes were accepted. Literally two minutes ago, right as

36
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>we came on the air with the newscast, I got

37
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>an update that my state return had been accepted. So

38
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm in good shape. So I don't have that hanging

39
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>over my head. What am I going to talk about today?

40
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>It is that the show prep yesterday for this show

41
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>and the show prep that I did this morning. It

42
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>was one of those days where I had to tell

43
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 2>myself it's time to stop it is. It is time

44
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>to stop because there are so many things that are

45
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>going on. To talk about. One of the things that

46
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>we're going to do. In one hour from now, I'm

47
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be joined by a guest. First time I've

48
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>had this guy on. His name is Charlton Allen. Charlton

49
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Allen is an attorney, former Chief Executive of Officer and

50
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Chief Judicial Officer of the North Carolina Industrial Commission. He

51
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>is the founder of the Madison Center for Law and Liberty.

52
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 2>He is the editor of The American Salient and the

53
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>host of the Modern Federalist podcast. And Charlton Allen about

54
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>a week or ten days ago wrote a piece and

55
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>American Thinker. And American Thinker is a great website. I

56
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>go there and enjoy some of the commentary, and sometimes

57
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I just flat out read him on the air because

58
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 2>some of the commentary that you get there is just

59
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>so outstanding. And I've been looking for I am not

60
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>an expert when it comes to tariffs, when it comes

61
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>to the economy, when it comes to international trade, things

62
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>like that, So I look for the opinions. I look

63
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>for information of others provided by others to round out

64
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>my thinking on these ideas, and Charlton Allen wrote a

65
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 2>piece entitled we didn't start the trade war, we finally

66
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>joined it. And he goes on to talk about and

67
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>make clear how other countries have had a leg up

68
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>on the United States when it comes to trade policy,

69
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to terrors, when it comes to things

70
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 2>like that, and he talks about how far America is

71
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>behind in certain areas that are going to wind up

72
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>being extremely important and should have been important for the

73
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 2>United States and have been neglected for so for so long.

74
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, he writes this. Trump's teriffic tariffs expose the

75
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>lie at the heart of the globalist dogma that trade

76
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>liberalization is a rising tide that lifts all boats. It

77
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>does not. This is particularly true when so called free

78
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>trade is in fact one sided. The bitter truth is

79
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>that our nation, or our national trade structure, has lifted

80
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>luxury yachts in Shanghai, luxury sedans in Bavaria, while hallowing

81
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 2>out steel mills machine shops in Ohio and Missouri factory towns.

82
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>The larger context is even more damming. The United States

83
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 2>no longer makes what it needs. We offshore our factories,

84
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>outsource our supply chains, surrender our economy's core sectors to

85
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>competitors and adversaries. China controls eighty percent of rare earth

86
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>mineral processing, and there's news this morning about that actually

87
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 2>broke yesterday about China and rareer So we will talk

88
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to him about that. Let me let me get to

89
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 2>the let me get to the part where he talks

90
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>about manufacturing and here in the United States, Where did

91
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 2>that go? Where did that go? Let me know if

92
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I had it up here just a second. Of course,

93
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you know when you're when you're scrolling through and and

94
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 2>you think you want to find something, But then in

95
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>any case, the guy is going to be here. And

96
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm really looking forward to this conversation because he just

97
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 2>has a way of writing about it and uh and

98
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>laying it out that I think makes a lot of

99
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 2>sense to everybody. And you know, I'll ask him to

100
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 2>explain his position on some of these issues that he

101
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>talks about. So I'm looking forward to that. It's unusual

102
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that I don't record a lot of interviews ahead of time.

103
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Every once in a while i'll record an interview and

104
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 2>use it during the case during the course of the show.

105
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 2>But this one is going to be live after the

106
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>news at six, and so I invite you to to

107
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 2>stay around. Stick around for that. Yeah, here's what he

108
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>writes about the other countries. Germany taxes US automobiles at

109
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 2>four times the rate we impose on THEIRS. France blocks

110
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>US agricultural products through protectionist quotas and byzantine regulations. South Korea,

111
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>despite a free trade degree, it maintains tariff and non

112
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>tariff barriers on US beef, pork, and automotive parts. These

113
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>aren't historical artifacts of little significance. They are systemic disadvantages

114
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 2>designed to extract concessions from America while giving little or

115
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>nothing in return. And so this is the sort of

116
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>trade imbalance that that's the one sort of thing that

117
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the Trump looks at that I think drives him, you know,

118
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>drives him crazy, almost more than anything else that they

119
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>have all you know, all these other countries. I think

120
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 2>China is a separate case, but all these other countries

121
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 2>they have all this access to American markets and we

122
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>do not have the same sort of access to THEIRS.

123
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>And when you boil it down, I think that's really

124
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that's really the nut of the whole thing. Another guest

125
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to be Daniel Turner. That'll be in the

126
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>eight o'clock hour. Power of the Future. Just a great commentary,

127
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>great insight on all things happening, political, economic, and otherwise.

128
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 2>And Daniel Turner is just a super smart guy. He's

129
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>a regular. See he's a regular on Fox News, Fox

130
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Business News, and he's been a regular guest of mine

131
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>on the other shows that I do. And he's going

132
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to be here at eight and then Ken Cober, the FOP.

133
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I talked a little bit about this when I had

134
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 2>James Bogan on yesterday and we were talking about this

135
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 2>young man, the twenty five year old father of two

136
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 2>killed in Coryville over the weekend, and some information started

137
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>coming out late what Monday into Tuesday about this fifteen

138
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 2>year old who is accused of gunning this guy down

139
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and the teenager who was arrested by Cincinnati police. It

140
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 2>has now the information has come out. Fox nineteen has

141
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.639
<v Speaker 2>had a look at the at the court records of

142
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 2>this kid, and it turns out this guy's got a

143
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.919
<v Speaker 2>lengthy juvenile history. Several months ago, in November of twenty four,

144
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>court records show the fifteen year old was accused of

145
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>firing a gun. Ken kober says, if the teen had

146
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>not been let out of juvenile attention for the November crime,

147
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>myrack or Mirick, I'm sorry, it would still be alive.

148
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Who didn't see this coming. You look at his criminal record,

149
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you see more charges than he has years on this earth.

150
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Court documents show this team has sixteen previous charges starting

151
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 2>from when he was just thirteen years old. So between

152
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 2>the age thirteen and the age when he finally killed

153
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:09.440
<v Speaker 2>someone at fifteen, sixteen previous charges. And what's the use?

154
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 2>What's the use if Cincinnati police go out and arrest

155
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>these people, arrest these juveniles and they simply go through

156
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the revolving door in the court system here in Hamilton

157
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 2>County and they're back out on the street, hanging out

158
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 2>late at night. I don't know how late it was,

159
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>but hanging out at night in possession of a gun,

160
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>assaulting people, attacking people, and ultimately killing people. These judges

161
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>that run the juvenile court over there, I'm tired of

162
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>hearing about how there's you know, there's nothing they can do.

163
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired of it. You get so you get a

164
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 2>kid with thirteen contacts with the juveniles system between the

165
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>age of thirteen and fifteen. You got to do something.

166
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>You gotta do something. I'm sure there are some kids

167
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 2>out there that deserve a second chance. Some kids out

168
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>there that I guess, depending on their situation, can put

169
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 2>these sorts of things behind them, move on have a

170
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>decent life. But some kids cannot be helped. I don't

171
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>know the history of this kid. I don't know what

172
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 2>his parental situation is, but at some point, responsible adults

173
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 2>have to step in and protect the community. And that

174
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>certainly appears that that did not happen in this particular case,

175
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and now a family is mourning the loss of a

176
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>twenty five year old father. Five sixteen, We've got to

177
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 2>get to a break. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. Fifty

178
00:11:58.679 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>five krc DE talks the.

179
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five krc When You're Sump Pump.

180
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Fifty time krc DE talks Station Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.

181
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't mean to go off on a little tangent,

182
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and I get stuck on this fifteen year old kid

183
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>with the long juvenile record. I just wanted to sort

184
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>of to go through some of the highlights or some

185
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>of the headlines of stuff that we have to talk

186
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 2>about during the course of today. But that's what happened.

187
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 2>B Ken Kober will be here about eight thirty and

188
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk to him about that. Absolutely horrible. What are

189
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 2>some of the headlines we've got today were rare earth

190
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 2>minerals affected by China export ban, used in ebes, green energy,

191
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 2>military at tech and apparently the United States has plenty

192
00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:00.159
<v Speaker 2>of rare earth minerals, we just don't refine it, and

193
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>so we need to get up to speed on that.

194
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.799
<v Speaker 2>And there's some thinking out there that that can happen

195
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.399
<v Speaker 2>rather quickly, and I would like to see that happen.

196
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 2>This thing between Trump and Harvard getting very serious. Trump

197
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 2>administration is freezing two point three billion in Harvard funding.

198
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Why does Harvard need two point three billion in funding

199
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.159
<v Speaker 2>from American taxpayers? Anyone got a good explanation for that?

200
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't see Harvard winning that one. Trump suggests that

201
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Harvard lose its tax exempt status because they they're not

202
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>really going to do they. I guess they want to

203
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>give some lip service when it comes to anti Semitic

204
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>activity happening on the campus and Jewish students there in

205
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.799
<v Speaker 2>a constant state of danger. They're giving lips first to that.

206
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>But probably not really looking to do anything serious about it.

207
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 2>So the Trump administration is cutting off the money. We'll

208
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>see how that goes. Let's see. You know, Harvard says

209
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.639
<v Speaker 2>that we'll not comply with the Trump administration is demands.

210
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>So they're digging in and they've got a fifty three

211
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>billion dollar endowment they don't need. They do not need

212
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 2>any money from the federal government. They don't need it.

213
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if the endowment, what do what if if

214
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:44.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, the these schools have these endowments, We've got

215
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 2>all this money socked away, what do they use that for?

216
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>What's it there for? If? Is it a rainy day fund?

217
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Is?

218
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.879
<v Speaker 2>And they you know, they've got all this money socked away,

219
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and they continue to have this huge stream of money

220
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 2>that comes in from the federal government, that comes in

221
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>from tuition, all this other stuff they've they've got that

222
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 2>fifty three billion, you know, dig into that.

223
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 4>A little bit.

224
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Knock yourself out, Harvard. There's a guy who threatened to

225
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 2>assassinate Tulsea Gabbard. He's been arrested. Trump is going to

226
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.759
<v Speaker 2>skip the White House correspondence dinner, which is kind of

227
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:30.480
<v Speaker 2>a shame because Trump can deliver jokes, probably better than

228
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority of people who are going to show

229
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.639
<v Speaker 2>up to the White House Correspondence Center, certainly better than

230
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the comedians or the entertainers that they typically bring into

231
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 2>these events. But he is not going to be part

232
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 2>of that, and I don't I really, I gave up

233
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.639
<v Speaker 2>watching those things a long time ago. Let's see Kamala

234
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Harris still thinking about her political future. Absolute Joe Joe

235
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Biden was out making some speeches or made a speech

236
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>last night, and there was a lot of build up

237
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>to this. Who in their right mind would go to

238
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 2>a Joe Biden speech, But I guess he was in Chicago.

239
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see any video of the size of the crowd,

240
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:28.399
<v Speaker 2>but it sounded just based on the applause that I heard,

241
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 2>it sounded sparse. It sounded like there was a lot

242
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.679
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of empty space in that room. Hard

243
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 2>to tell when you can't you don't have pictures or

244
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>video of the size of the crowd, But just based

245
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 2>on what the applause sounded like, it didn't sound like

246
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>there were a whole lot of people there. So we've

247
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>got a couple of cuts of Joe Biden and the

248
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 2>speech got off to a pretty rough start, so we'll

249
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 2>roll some of that as the as the program rolls

250
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>on today. But right now we got to get to

251
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>a little break and we'll check traffic and weather. Well,

252
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 2>we had traffic coming up in a little bit, but

253
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>we'll check the weather at least a little news at

254
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.119
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the hour. Now we don't that's the

255
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 2>wrong station. We don't have we had searm Man. We

256
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:18.599
<v Speaker 2>don't have news at the bottom of the hour. Do

257
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>negative you know I've been here for three days now

258
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>you think I would I would know that. But a

259
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:25.880
<v Speaker 2>whole lot more to get to and we hope you

260
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 2>can stick around for it.

261
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five KRC the talk station, fifty five KRC.

262
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a master? Five thirty on this the

263
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday morning? Damn Caeryl from Brian Thomas. We take a

264
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.799
<v Speaker 2>look at little local news and it turns out our

265
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Congressman Greg Landsman doing very well in the stock market.

266
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations to him. A Channel nine reporting that according to

267
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 2>financial disclose or disclosure records, Greg Lansman and his wife

268
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:09.000
<v Speaker 2>recently sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stocks.

269
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Amid the ongoing US trade war and volatility in the

270
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 2>stock market. Landsman, who represents Cincinnati, and his wife sold

271
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.279
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stocks in March,

272
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.799
<v Speaker 2>though the exact amount is unclear. An analysis by The

273
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Journal News found that the sales combined are valued between

274
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.119
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars and one point

275
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:37.799
<v Speaker 2>four four million dollars. So congratulations to Greg Landsman cashing

276
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 2>in on the stock market. It's fantastic. In the fall

277
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 2>of twenty four Landsman failed to disclose trading activities on time,

278
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.480
<v Speaker 2>it reached illegal requirements under the twenty twelve Stock Act.

279
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>The law requires members of Congress to and certain family

280
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.720
<v Speaker 2>members to file reports within thirty to four five days

281
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.519
<v Speaker 2>after receiving notice of a transaction exceeding one thousand dollars.

282
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Several members of Congress from Ohio, both passed and president,

283
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 2>are Stock Act violators, according to The Journal News, among

284
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:20.319
<v Speaker 2>them A Warren Davidson, Marcy Captor, Steve Shabbitt, and David

285
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Joyce of Bainbridge Township. The twenty twelve Stock Act really

286
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.599
<v Speaker 2>had one major purpose, which was to prevent members of

287
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Congress from insider trading, said David Nivin. You see political

288
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:43.559
<v Speaker 2>science professor insider trading. Hard to imagine that Greg Landsman

289
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.400
<v Speaker 2>has anything to do with that, isn't it. Landsman co

290
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 2>sponsoring the Trust Act in Congress, which, if an active,

291
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.200
<v Speaker 2>would require Congress to an select family members to place

292
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:01.200
<v Speaker 2>investments in a blind trust to avoid potential conflicts of interests.

293
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 2>But for now he's Uh, he's moving socks around and

294
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 2>benefiting mightily, and good for him. That is a great news.

295
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's see what else do we have. Wah wah is open,

296
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Sean McMahon, you've been to a wah wah yet? No,

297
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.160
<v Speaker 2>But I've been to a BUCkies. I've been. He's been

298
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to I've been to a BUCkies. I have not been

299
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 2>to a wah wah. The doors are open, and let's see,

300
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a Liberty Township, Ohio.

301
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.359
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

302
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 2>The doors to the first wah wah are set to open.

303
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

304
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 2>The popular convenience store chain officially opens. It says Wednesday,

305
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker 2>So I guess that's today. Some vi P customers got

306
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 2>uh pture the store a little taste of wah wah.

307
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't invited to that event, so I guess I'm

308
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 2>not a vi I P. The local was packed with

309
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>enthusiastsic customers counting down to the moment. I would That's

310
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 2>another thing I would not do. I would not wait outside.

311
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Remember when the Krispy Creams would open around here, there

312
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>would always be a lining outside, people wanting to be

313
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.799
<v Speaker 2>the first one to get in the Krispy Creme that

314
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:22.640
<v Speaker 2>we the other there was some other I think the

315
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.960
<v Speaker 2>chick fil As. When the Chick fil As first started

316
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>coming into the Tri State area, there would always be

317
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 2>that line out there. And I guess that if at

318
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 2>least with the Chick fil A, I think what you

319
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 2>got was a year's worth of Chick fil A. I

320
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.839
<v Speaker 2>think you could go in there and get one or

321
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 2>two sandwiches a day something like that for a year.

322
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's not a bad that's not a bad thing

323
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to have. I don't know if I would eat a

324
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Chick fil A every single day. I like Chick fil A.

325
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that I would eat one every single day,

326
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.079
<v Speaker 2>but you know, having that, having that in your back

327
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>pocket is not a bad thing. But I still would

328
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.960
<v Speaker 2>not wait in line. But I guess apparently there are

329
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.880
<v Speaker 2>people waiting in line at the wall. If you've been

330
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.559
<v Speaker 2>to the wah Wah in Liberty Township. Fill us in,

331
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 2>let us know what what you got there. The East

332
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Coach Stained unveiled its breakfast sandwiches, Coffee Hogy type sandwiches.

333
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 2>So the wah Walls are opening in Greater Cincinnati. That

334
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>is very cool. I have been to a BUCkies and

335
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 2>it took me a while. I remember the first couple

336
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 2>of times we saw one and we said, okay, we're

337
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 2>going to stop in there, and then the line to

338
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.000
<v Speaker 2>get the cars that were waiting to go to the

339
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 2>BUCkies that were backed off the ramp and onto the highway,

340
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>so that if you actually had to come to a

341
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.119
<v Speaker 2>stop on the highway to get on the ramp to

342
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.440
<v Speaker 2>get off the ramp to go to the BUCkies. I said, no,

343
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing that. So we waited and several weeks passed,

344
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.079
<v Speaker 2>and then we had a chance to go to another BUCkies,

345
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and this time we were able to actually pull into the

346
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.079
<v Speaker 2>parking lot there, find a place to park, and then

347
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:20.799
<v Speaker 2>walk on him. But I am not waiting. I am

348
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 2>not waiting, especially I'm not parking on the on the

349
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.279
<v Speaker 2>highway waiting to get off the ramp to go to

350
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.200
<v Speaker 2>a BUCkies or any establishment for that matter. Five point

<v Speaker 1>The talk station fifty five KRC in this edition.

353
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.720
<v Speaker 2>On this Wednesday morning, the day after Tax Day, Dan

354
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Carroll for Brian Thomas saw this as I was getting

355
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:54.200
<v Speaker 2>ready for the show today, that Vaughn P. Drake has

356
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:59.839
<v Speaker 2>passed away, a Central Kentucky native, the oldest known survivor

357
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:05.440
<v Speaker 2>of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor December seventh, nineteen

358
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 2>forty one, Von P. Drake. According to Pacific Historic Parks, Drake,

359
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 2>who was twenty three at the time, was serving in

360
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the US Army and he helped to build the barracks

361
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 2>at the Kenoe Naval Air Station on the east side

362
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>of O Wahoo. His job was to run a temporary

363
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>power plant so the carpenters and had electricity for their equipment.

364
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 2>We were getting ready to go to breakfast and we

365
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.880
<v Speaker 2>heard all these planes flying over, making a lot of noise,

366
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Drake said during an interview with the Lexington Herald Leader

367
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:43.920
<v Speaker 2>in twenty sixteen. At first they thought it was the

368
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Army Air Corps doing maneuvers. They didn't pay much attention

369
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 2>except to comment that they were putting on a good show.

370
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Then an officer told them that the island was under

371
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 2>attack and they saw a bomb hit one of their buildings.

372
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 2>He says, we knew by then that we had a

373
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:05.559
<v Speaker 2>real attack, Drake said. During the war he continued to

374
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>serve with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific,

375
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 2>including Saipan and the Marines of the Marianeras Campaign or

376
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 2>the Marianas Campaign, I should say. When the war ended, Drake,

377
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:20.519
<v Speaker 2>who was from Winchester, returned to Kentucky, had a family,

378
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:25.359
<v Speaker 2>worked with General Telephone of Kentucky, was an engineer until retirement.

379
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>His wife of sixty five Yearslina Wilson Drake, passed away

380
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 2>in December of twenty eleven, survived by his son Sam,

381
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 2>two grandsons, three great grandchildren. Drake was a member of

382
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers National Society of

383
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Professional Engineers, charter member and past president of the Bluegrass

384
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Chapter of the Kentucky Society of Professional Engineers. He was

385
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.240
<v Speaker 2>a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, former member

386
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.799

387
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:05.400

388
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 2>member of the University of Kentucky Alumni Association and a

389
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:18.119
<v Speaker 2>life member of the Pearl Harbor's Survivor Association. So Vaughn P.

390
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Drake and to his family, we thank that good man

391
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 2>for his service. Passed away at the age of one

392
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred and six, one hundred and six years old, oldest

393
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 2>known survivor of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. And

394
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>that closes a chapter in this country that will that

395
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>will likely never never be seen again. So we thank

396
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 2>him for his service and wish him godspeed on his

397
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>journey one hundred and six years on this earth. And

398
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.559
<v Speaker 2>God bless that good man. What else do we have

399
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.480
<v Speaker 2>going on? What else do we have going on? Let

400
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 2>me see new documents. All new documents proved that Rushiagate

401
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 2>was a hoax all along. But Letitia James is facing

402
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 2>some difficulties now. This story broke last night. The Attorney

403
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.759
<v Speaker 2>General of New York, Latitia James, who managed to secure

404
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the guilty verdict against Donald Trump in February of twenty

405
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 2>four for allegedly inflating the value of the Trump organization.

406
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Everyone remembers that, right we had this judge say that

407
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 2>mar Lago was worth only eighteen million dollars when it's

408
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 2>in fact worth closer to two hundred and fifty million dollars. Wow,

409
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, Letitia James out there looking out for the

410
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.160
<v Speaker 2>small people, because according to her, that you know when

411
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, when a big bad organization like the Trump

412
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:05.799
<v Speaker 2>organization falsely puts out the value of their property that

413
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 2>they're using to secure a loan, well, that means there's

414
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>less for everybody else. Never Mind that the bank did

415
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>its own due diligence, never mind that there was no

416
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 2>victim in this, never mind that anyone lost a dime

417
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 2>in this whole procedure, But no, she pursued those criminal charges. Anyway,

418
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 2>when the powerful break the law and take more than

419
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>their fair share, there are fewer resources available for working people,

420
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.440
<v Speaker 2>small businesses, families. Everyday, Americans cannot lie to a bank

421
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>about how much money they have in order to get

422
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>a mortgage to buy a home, and if they did,

423
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the government should throw the book at them. That's what

424
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Latitia James said. Will Now, there's a little trouble for

425
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Latitia James because she has been referred for prosecution over

426
00:28:55.799 --> 00:29:00.839
<v Speaker 2>the exact same type of crimes that accused Trump. Of

427
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 2>the exact same type of crimes. Let's see where do we? Uh,

428
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I got to get to a break here, We'll do that.

429
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.559
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to a break, and then I'll lay out

430
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 2>what the what the crimes that miss James is facing

431
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>or will or has been referred to to the Justice Department.

432
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely amazing. How many times have we said it? When

433
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:33.359
<v Speaker 2>you have liberals or Democrats accusing people of doing things,

434
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>it usually turns out they are doing the exact same

435
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>things themselves. And we'll get into some of these details.

436
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>And right after this on fifty five k r C

437
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 2>the talk station, fifty five k the talk station when

438
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:58.759
<v Speaker 2>You're some pump fifty five krc DE Talk station. Well

439
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>left off talking about the Tisha James, the New York

440
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Attorney General who brought the flimsy at the Flimsy cases

441
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:09.680
<v Speaker 2>against Donald Trump. And now it appears that she's had

442
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 2>been referred to for prosecution on some of the exact

443
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.319
<v Speaker 2>same charges that she went after Trump for. If the

444
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>allegations are accurate, and this is according to the Western Journal,

445
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:25.200
<v Speaker 2>the woman who went after Trump engaged in some very

446
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 2>real property fraud of her own. According to a report

447
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that came out Wednesday night, the US Federal Housing Finance

448
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Agency Director William Poulte referred James to Attorney General Pam

449
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Bondi for irregularities in a series of loans that James

450
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:46.599
<v Speaker 2>obtained on two properties in the course of exercising US

451
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Federal Housing authority under the Federal Housing Enterprise, Financial Safety

452
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and Soundness Act. The US Federal Housing has identified matters

453
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 2>that are appropriate for referral to the Department of Justice.

454
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Poulti wrote his letter to Bondi based on reports Leticia

455
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>James has in multiple instances falsified bank documents and property

456
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Speaker 2>records to acquire government back backed assistance and loans for

457
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 2>more favorable terms. This has potentially included one falsifying residence

458
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 2>status for a Norfolk, Virginia based home in order to

459
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 2>secure a lower mortgage rate, and two misrepresenting property descriptions

460
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 2>to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistants.

461
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.279
<v Speaker 2>In the case of the Virginia home. The more clear

462
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:43.160
<v Speaker 2>cut of the allegations, which is likely to represent a

463
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.920
<v Speaker 2>serious impediment to james continued rise through the Democrat ranks.

464
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 2>The New York Attorney General reportedly listed it as her

465
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:55.240
<v Speaker 2>primary residence to banks and twenty twenty three documents in

466
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 2>order to get a better deal on loans. Where have

467
00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:03.839
<v Speaker 2>we heard that before? Despite being a statewide public officeholder

468
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 2>in the state of New York at the same time

469
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and primarily residing in the state of New York. So

470
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:15.240
<v Speaker 2>she lives, works, and resides in the state of New York,

471
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:20.519
<v Speaker 2>but says that this home in Virginia is her primary residence.

472
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Primary residence mortgages receive more favorable loan terms, including lower

473
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>interest rates, than secondary residence mortgages. Lenders view secondary residence

474
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>mortgages as significantly riskier, as a borrower is more likely

475
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to continue paying off a primary residence during any financial hardship.

476
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Interest rates on secondary residence mortgages are typically between zero

477
00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:53.359
<v Speaker 2>point two five and point five zero percent higher than

478
00:32:53.400 --> 00:33:02.920
<v Speaker 2>their primary residence counterparts. So here's Letitia James telling the bank, Hey,

479
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 2>look this home in Virginia. That's my primary home. Also,

480
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:14.519
<v Speaker 2>she could save a quarter to half a point on

481
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 2>an interest loan. At the time of the twenty twenty

482
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:24.559
<v Speaker 2>three Norfolk, Virginia Property Purchase and mortgage, Miss James was

483
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 2>the sitting Attorney General of New York and required by

484
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 2>law to have her primary residence in the state of

485
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 2>New York. Even though her mortgage applications list her intent

486
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 2>to have the Norfolk, Virginia property as her primary home.

487
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:46.279
<v Speaker 2>It appears Miss James property and mortgage mortgage related misrepresentations

488
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 2>may have continued to her recent twenty twenty three Norfolk,

489
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Virginia property purchase in order to secure a lower interest

490
00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:02.160
<v Speaker 2>rate and more favorable loan terms. How about that? So

491
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 2>it looks like there's a lot of evidence out there

492
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 2>referred to prosecution. Sorry, Letitia James sucks to be you,

493
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 2>as Brian Thomas might say, But you know she she

494
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 2>talked about white collar crime, white collar financial crime, not victimless.

495
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.400
<v Speaker 2>When the powerful break the law and take more than

496
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:28.320
<v Speaker 2>their fair share, there are fewer resources available for working people.

497
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 2>That applied to Donald Trump. Now it's time to see

498
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 2>if the same applies to the Attorney General of New York.

499
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Letitia James five fifty five on fifty five KRC, The

500
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Talk Station fifty five KRC, the Talk Station six oh

501
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:57.840
<v Speaker 2>five On this Wednesday morning, I'm Dan Carroll. Brian Thomas

502
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 2>taking the week off, so it's my pleasure to be

503
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 2>here for him. I get to do it one more

504
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:05.800
<v Speaker 2>day tomorrow, So I'm looking forward to that and also

505
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:09.480
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to speaking with our next guest, and our

506
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:13.079
<v Speaker 2>first guest in the morning is Charlton Allen. Charlton Allen

507
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.519
<v Speaker 2>is an attorney. He is the former chief executive officer

508
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.159
<v Speaker 2>of the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the founder of the

509
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Madison Center for Law and Liberty, and the host of

510
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the Modern Federalist podcast. And he also is a regular

511
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.559
<v Speaker 2>contributor to American Thinker, which is a great website where

512
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 2>that I look at just about every single day. And

513
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:36.880
<v Speaker 2>it is because of a piece that he wrote there

514
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:39.320
<v Speaker 2>that I reached out to him and asked him to

515
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:40.960
<v Speaker 2>be on the show this morning. And here he is,

516
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 2>and Charlton Allen, thank you so much for being here,

517
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:45.239
<v Speaker 2>and good morning. It's great to have you on fifty

518
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:46.800
<v Speaker 2>five KRC. How are you today.

519
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:50.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing well, Dan, thanks for having.

520
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Me well, Thank you for being here. This piece that

521
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 2>you wrote that really got my attention a few days ago.

522
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:02.280
<v Speaker 2>The headline is we didn't start the trade war, We've

523
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 2>just finally joined it. And you make the case. First

524
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of all, the first thing you talk about is how

525
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the media really fails to deliver any context as it

526
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 2>relates to tariffs. Do you believe that this is because

527
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.599
<v Speaker 2>they're pursuing an agenda that they don't want to provide

528
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:26.320
<v Speaker 2>real context. I think they have the ability to provide context,

529
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:31.360
<v Speaker 2>but they simply choose not to provide context and really

530
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.880
<v Speaker 2>wind up just parroting the talking points that come from

531
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the DNC and other organizations who are opposed to this administration.

532
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a heavy.

533
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 5>Part of it, but I don't necessarily believe that's all

534
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:47.880
<v Speaker 5>of it.

535
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Let me explain this, okay.

536
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 5>I think we have reached a point in our nation,

537
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.559
<v Speaker 5>and particularly in terms of the legacy media. They are

538
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:03.519
<v Speaker 5>very much coastal on plays and they have for generations

539
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:08.119
<v Speaker 5>ignored the plight of states like your state, Ohio, my state,

540
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:13.599
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina, and all the states in between the two coasts.

541
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:19.039
<v Speaker 5>And as a consequence, yeah, I have come to conclude unfortunately,

542
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.039
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the legacy media sees there themselves as

543
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.679
<v Speaker 5>having more in common with Europe, for example, than the

544
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 5>rest of America. And I think there is a deep

545
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.599
<v Speaker 5>philosophical and cultural divide that you know, is a schism

546
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:38.760
<v Speaker 5>between those media elites and the rest of us in

547
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.639
<v Speaker 5>this country. And I think as a major factor as well.

548
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think most Americans have have an

549
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.679
<v Speaker 2>idea that that we have a very large trade and

550
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 2>balance when it comes to dealing with China. I think

551
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Americans might have been surprised though, to

552
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:59.639
<v Speaker 2>recognize the amount of tariffs that and then really how

553
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>unli level the playing field is when it when you

554
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about the rest of the world, when you when

555
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.039
<v Speaker 2>you look at all the other tariffs that all these

556
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.119
<v Speaker 2>countries impose on the United States, and the United States

557
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 2>for so long essentially had had little or no tariffs

558
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.400
<v Speaker 2>on many of these other countries. And I think when

559
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 2>you when you look at a guy like Trump, it

560
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:23.679
<v Speaker 2>is that sort of imbalance that that really bothers him

561
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.960
<v Speaker 2>more than anything else. That you know, we have all

562
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.800
<v Speaker 2>this access for all these other countries into our markets,

563
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.320
<v Speaker 2>but yet we don't have the same access to theirs.

564
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:39.280
<v Speaker 5>That's exactly the point. And you know, in terms of

565
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:43.719
<v Speaker 5>approaching it, I think you have to one hand take China,

566
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:48.760
<v Speaker 5>and China is a unique and over arching problem that's

567
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.920
<v Speaker 5>separate and apart from the rest of the world. And

568
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.199
<v Speaker 5>the reason why I say that is because China is,

569
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, by and large one of our largest trading partners,

570
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:05.719
<v Speaker 5>and they manipulate the markets, They manipulate trade. They have

571
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 5>barriers upon barriers to trade. In China, they have things

572
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.280
<v Speaker 5>such as Golden chairs, which give the Chinese Communist Party

573
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:21.840
<v Speaker 5>control over entities in China into corporations that you know,

574
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.679
<v Speaker 5>frankly did the fact that that is the case and

575
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:30.199
<v Speaker 5>those companies are dealing in securities in the United States

576
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.440
<v Speaker 5>is long overdue for the SEC to be involved.

577
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:35.039
<v Speaker 4>But China is.

578
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.360
<v Speaker 5>A problem in and of itself. Europe is another problem,

579
00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:42.239
<v Speaker 5>and you know, I would take it a step further,

580
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:47.440
<v Speaker 5>not just Europe, but also Canada. We have significant trade imbalances.

581
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 5>Europe in particular, and Canada as well rely on the

582
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.599
<v Speaker 5>United States for national security. There is no way in

583
00:39:56.639 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 5>the world that the Canadian armed forces can protect the

584
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and fifty one thousand miles of coastline in

585
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:08.519
<v Speaker 5>Canada or the four million square miles of aerospace in Canada.

586
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:12.719
<v Speaker 5>There's no way they rely on us to provide security.

587
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.559
<v Speaker 5>Same with Europe, and yet there are barriers to our

588
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 5>penetration of both of those markets, in particular Europe, where

589
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.960
<v Speaker 5>if the United States company wants to sell a car

590
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.679
<v Speaker 5>they're slacked with a ten percent tariffone on our cars,

591
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:32.320
<v Speaker 5>and then europe christ foul when we demand reciprocity. For

592
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:37.840
<v Speaker 5>decades since World War Two, we have subsidized European comfort

593
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:41.199
<v Speaker 5>with American sacrifice. And that era is over.

594
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you wrote a piece that appeared in an American

595
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Thinker yesterday talking about Canada's free ride is finally over.

596
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask you a couple more questions about that.

597
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:55.920
<v Speaker 2>But just getting back to China for a moment, I

598
00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:59.000
<v Speaker 2>guess the latest move was by China talking about how

599
00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:02.599
<v Speaker 2>they're going to put a pause or a hold on

600
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:06.840
<v Speaker 2>China shipping out these rare earth minerals. And I was

601
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I was reading about this that the United States actually

602
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:15.199
<v Speaker 2>is a major producer of rare earth minerals. It's just

603
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:19.880
<v Speaker 2>that the refining process is shipped overseas, shipped over to

604
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:22.960
<v Speaker 2>China where those minerals are refined, and then they are

605
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:26.280
<v Speaker 2>sent back to the United States and to other parts

606
00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:30.280
<v Speaker 2>of the world as well. And I think I think

607
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Trump has a pretty good handle on this. And so

608
00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:36.159
<v Speaker 2>when you look at or at least when I look

609
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:40.199
<v Speaker 2>at what I perceive to be the bargaining position that

610
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Trump wants to put this country into when it comes

611
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 2>to tariffs. It's not only to level the playing field,

612
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:53.639
<v Speaker 2>but to reinvigorate these manufacturing processes, and so we are

613
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:57.199
<v Speaker 2>able to self sustain ourselves here in the United States

614
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:02.920
<v Speaker 2>and no longer be reliant on places like China for pharmaceuticals,

615
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.599
<v Speaker 2>for rare earth, for things like this that American consumers

616
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:08.760
<v Speaker 2>need on a daily basis.

617
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:15.079
<v Speaker 5>Exactly, the twentieth century was one by tanks and oil.

618
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:18.159
<v Speaker 5>The twenty first century will be one by chips energy

619
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 5>and who controls the tech stack. China knows this, and

620
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.760
<v Speaker 5>they have tried to corner the market not just on

621
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.599
<v Speaker 5>rare earth production, but rare earth refinery refineries such as

622
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:33.360
<v Speaker 5>what you discussed. And we need to cut through the

623
00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:36.360
<v Speaker 5>barriers here in our own country so that we cannot

624
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.639
<v Speaker 5>only mine rare earth minerals that we need in just

625
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:46.199
<v Speaker 5>about every facet and modern electric and electronic computing and AI.

626
00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:49.920
<v Speaker 5>We need to cut those barriers down so that we

627
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.400
<v Speaker 5>are not only competitive, but that we are surpassing China

628
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:57.199
<v Speaker 5>in those key factors. Because if we do not have

629
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:02.000
<v Speaker 5>control of pharmaceuticals, we do not control our own energy future.

630
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:06.599
<v Speaker 5>We do not control our access to rare earth minerals.

631
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:13.360
<v Speaker 5>We will not be an independent nation much longer. You know,

632
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.800
<v Speaker 5>China is You know, this is something epic. Is one

633
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 5>of the greatest failures of American policy makers over the

634
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:25.039
<v Speaker 5>past fifty years. Despite its deep market penetration in the

635
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:28.559
<v Speaker 5>United States, China has remained a one party state, and

636
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:33.400
<v Speaker 5>that party is the Chinese Communist Party. And one of

637
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.960
<v Speaker 5>those great failures about our policy makers and politicians was

638
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:41.519
<v Speaker 5>they misread China's economic opening in the nineteen seventies as

639
00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:44.360
<v Speaker 5>a repudiation or rejection of Marxism.

640
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:45.360
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't.

641
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:49.360
<v Speaker 5>It was a rebranding. At its core, Marxism is about

642
00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:54.559
<v Speaker 5>wealth redistribution from the economically successful to the unsuccessful, from

643
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.760
<v Speaker 5>the havels to the have not, and for the last

644
00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:02.119
<v Speaker 5>several generations, accelerating dramatically after china submission to the wt

645
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:05.760
<v Speaker 5>O in the granting of Most Favored Nation status, we've

646
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:09.719
<v Speaker 5>watched that redistribution play out in a global scale. What

647
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:14.039
<v Speaker 5>China has executed is a wholesale transfer of wealth from

648
00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.199
<v Speaker 5>the United States to the People's Republic. It's been wrapped

649
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:20.920
<v Speaker 5>into seductive packaging of cheap consumer goods, but the core

650
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:25.480
<v Speaker 5>transaction is unmistakable. We sit them our industries or supply

651
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:28.800
<v Speaker 5>chains and our leverage, and in return we've got plastic

652
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:30.239
<v Speaker 5>trinkets and mounting death.

653
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And and I think if China, if China sees

654
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:40.039
<v Speaker 2>that the United States is serious about about taking up

655
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:45.239
<v Speaker 2>this manufacturing process that we have that we have ceded

656
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:48.760
<v Speaker 2>to them, then I think I think that'll be even

657
00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:51.760
<v Speaker 2>more leverage that'll get that will get the Chinese to

658
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the bargaining table and uh and be something that will

659
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:58.599
<v Speaker 2>work in the favor of the United States. Charleston Allen,

660
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.119
<v Speaker 2>we get we have to get to a quick break,

661
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.360
<v Speaker 2>so let me ask you to hold on right there.

662
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:04.920
<v Speaker 2>We'll do a quick little traffic in weather and then

663
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:09.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll continue on with Charlton Allen from the great state

664
00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:13.679
<v Speaker 2>of North Carolina. So we appreciate him being here on

665

<v Speaker 2>fifty five KRC the talk station.

666
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:19.880
<v Speaker 1>This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station or your

667
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:20.760
<v Speaker 1>money Skills.

668
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:21.480
<v Speaker 6>Total Trap.

669
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five KRC the Talk station six nineteen on this

670
00:45:26.599 --> 00:45:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday morning. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, continuing our conversation

671
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 2>with Attorney Charlton Allen, and mister Allen, let me ask

672
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you this when it comes to when it comes to

673
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the criticism that has been brought against President Trump and

674
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the way he's going about I don't think that. I

675
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:50.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think that this whole, this whole trade war, if

676
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.840
<v Speaker 2>you want to call it that, or the tariffs that

677
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Trump has been using for leverage, is as haphazard as

678
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:00.239
<v Speaker 2>the media would have you believe. But I think there's

679
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I think there's some legitimate criticism and especially when people

680
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.119
<v Speaker 2>look at their savings, when they look at their four

681
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:08.719
<v Speaker 2>oh one k's, when they look at their retirement accounts,

682
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.360
<v Speaker 2>their stock market investment portfolios, things like that, that that

683
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:16.559
<v Speaker 2>there has been a lot of volatility there. There's been

684
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:21.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, so at least some some temporary damage done

685
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 2>to these to these things, and I think people have

686
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:27.280
<v Speaker 2>genuine concerns about that. When when you get asked or

687
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:29.960
<v Speaker 2>people want to talk about that, what is your response

688
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:35.639
<v Speaker 2>to them about the game, the pain that is associated

689
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:39.079
<v Speaker 2>with the with the policies, and and what what Trump

690
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:41.079
<v Speaker 2>is trying to accomplish here.

691
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:47.239
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate from several angles. First of all, we cannot

692
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:51.880
<v Speaker 5>be dissuaded from what I believe is the right course

693
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:56.679
<v Speaker 5>of action based upon short term results and pain. Uh,

694
00:46:56.760 --> 00:47:00.440
<v Speaker 5>there was always going to be no matter how the

695
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.320
<v Speaker 5>President tried to implement UH tariffs, whether he did it

696
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.480
<v Speaker 5>in the manner he has done, or if he took

697
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:13.840
<v Speaker 5>a more longer term approach and phased it in more gradually,

698
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:17.920
<v Speaker 5>there was going to be uncertainty. And the market reacts

699
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.920
<v Speaker 5>to uncertainty, and the market's job is to react. The

700
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:27.000
<v Speaker 5>President's job is to act. And I think President Trump's

701
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:30.599
<v Speaker 5>doctrine may rattle some of the hedge funge managers, but

702
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:33.480
<v Speaker 5>it reassures the factory floors, and that's where the real

703
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:37.239
<v Speaker 5>strength of this country's always been. And you know, I

704
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:41.719
<v Speaker 5>will also say that a lot of the companies that

705
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:46.719
<v Speaker 5>are traded on the public exchanges, the equities, they are

706
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:52.519
<v Speaker 5>very much leveraged into trade with China. And I will

707
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:57.360
<v Speaker 5>also point I've discussed this in an article last week. Uh,

708
00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:03.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, or Treasury Secretary has made a very strong

709
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:08.679
<v Speaker 5>point of this, just how much of a schism there

710
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:11.960
<v Speaker 5>is within the United States the people who actually.

711
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Participate in Wall Street.

712
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:17.559
<v Speaker 5>I believe it is something along the lines that twelve

713
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:23.800
<v Speaker 5>percent of Americans own eighty percent of stock. That is,

714
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:28.039
<v Speaker 5>you know, that gives you an idea of just how

715
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:31.800
<v Speaker 5>much you know there is a diconomy between those who

716
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:35.119
<v Speaker 5>are participating in the market and those are not. The

717
00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:38.199
<v Speaker 5>long term play I think is going to be following

718
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:41.239
<v Speaker 5>the approach the approach to president is going to follow.

719
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:46.280
<v Speaker 5>China is going to require some significant sacrifice to decouple

720
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:50.639
<v Speaker 5>from the Chinese Communist Party because it is more than

721
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:56.079
<v Speaker 5>just a trade issue. They have infiltrated our economy in

722
00:48:56.119 --> 00:49:00.880
<v Speaker 5>a very parasitic manner. One of the largest employers in

723
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:06.239
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina is smith phil Foods, which is owned by China.

724
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.920
<v Speaker 5>They have purchased a lot of agribusiness. They are heavily

725
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.760
<v Speaker 5>leveraged in the pharmaceutical industry, which is another big employer

726
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:18.719
<v Speaker 5>in the state of North Carolina. So decoupling from China

727
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:23.679
<v Speaker 5>is going to be a very long term process, but

728
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:27.719
<v Speaker 5>it is going to be necessary for our sovereignty because

729
00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:35.079
<v Speaker 5>if China controls through Rare Earth and Other Technology or

730
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:40.599
<v Speaker 5>National Security Center, if they control our pharmaceutical sector, if

731
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:47.960
<v Speaker 5>they control consumer and business electronics, and then they're making

732
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:52.199
<v Speaker 5>a strong play in AI. Where is our future, not

733
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:55.360
<v Speaker 5>just in terms of our economy, but our national security.

734
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:58.880
<v Speaker 5>It's very much in doubt when you have a geopolitical

735
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:03.440
<v Speaker 5>adversary rolling all the key sectors of the economy and

736
00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:07.440
<v Speaker 5>they want to subdue the United States.

737
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

738
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:08.079
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

739
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:11.079
<v Speaker 2>And then and then getting back to Canada here as

740
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:13.840
<v Speaker 2>we as we wrap this up, you talked, you talk

741
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.480
<v Speaker 2>about Canada and the United States and Canada are are

742
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the our big trading partners, but China is is intertwined

743
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:25.760
<v Speaker 2>quite deeply into Canada as well. Is that is that

744
00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:29.639
<v Speaker 2>a hindrance moving forward with Canada? Does Does Canada have

745
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:33.920
<v Speaker 2>to be concerned about, you know, any repercussions from China

746
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.280
<v Speaker 2>as it seeks to uh, you know men fences with

747
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the United States, Yes, they do.

748
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:45.119
<v Speaker 5>They have to be very significant serns concerns of my view,

749
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:48.719
<v Speaker 5>not just with China but also with Russia and incursions

750
00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:54.039
<v Speaker 5>within Canada's shipping lanes and access to the Arctic Ocean

751
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:59.519
<v Speaker 5>and the Northern Pacific and the Northern Atlantic oceans. Uh,

752
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:04.480
<v Speaker 5>They're going to have very significant concerns in Canada really

753
00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:07.800
<v Speaker 5>needs to step up to the plate and you know,

754
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.440
<v Speaker 5>get involved in the end of Pacific in a way

755
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:15.920
<v Speaker 5>that they have not been, get invested in their national security,

756
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:19.000
<v Speaker 5>which they have not been. They are won the worst

757
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:23.280
<v Speaker 5>performing nations in NATO and have been for generations, and

758
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:27.519
<v Speaker 5>they have not taken their obligations under NATO seriously. They

759
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:30.960
<v Speaker 5>are stuck at about one point three percent of their

760
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:35.440
<v Speaker 5>GDP contributing to their own national security when NATO has

761
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:39.199
<v Speaker 5>set a goal, and it's not an unreasonable goal two percent.

762
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:41.920
<v Speaker 5>But it's not just Canada that we have to watch.

763
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:45.000
<v Speaker 5>In terms of China, Mexico is a very big deal

764
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:49.679
<v Speaker 5>as well. Mexico has been used as a basically a

765
00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:54.400
<v Speaker 5>trojan horse for China to get their goods assembled in

766
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Mexico and then enter the United States tara free, and

767
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.679
<v Speaker 5>that has calls a spike in the Mexican trade surplus

768
00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:08.119
<v Speaker 5>with the United States. Last year between twenty four it

769
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:11.480
<v Speaker 5>sored to nearly one hundred and seventy two billion dollars.

770
00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:15.400
<v Speaker 5>A big reason for that was Chinese goods assembled to

771
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:18.039
<v Speaker 5>Mexico and then shipped to the United States.

772
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, Charleston Allen, I'll tell you what. You make some

773
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.880
<v Speaker 2>great points in the commentaries that I find on American Thinker.

774
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:27.400
<v Speaker 2>And you know, when I look at this, I look

775
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.079
<v Speaker 2>at a situation that you know, so many of these

776
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:34.239
<v Speaker 2>situations have gone unaddressed for so long in any sort

777
00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of meaningful way that when it does come time to

778
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.079
<v Speaker 2>deal with it, which I think we're just you know,

779
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:42.719
<v Speaker 2>dipping our toe into the water here on this, that

780
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.039
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be some you know, ripping that band

781
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:49.599
<v Speaker 2>aid office doesn't come without any consequences. So I think

782
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:51.519
<v Speaker 2>it's something that needs to be done, and you know,

783
00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:54.280
<v Speaker 2>long term, I think it's going to be wind up

784
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:56.599
<v Speaker 2>being a good thing for the United States. But Charleston Allen,

785
00:52:56.639 --> 00:52:58.320
<v Speaker 2>we have to run. I want to thank you for

786

816
00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:30.079
<v Speaker 9>I'm seeing no major time delay, just beginning to see

817
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:33.639
<v Speaker 9>some break lights. South found two seventy five Bublova, Lawrence

821
00:54:57.880 --> 00:54:59.559
<v Speaker 2>roll on till nine this morning. I want to thank

822
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Charlton for being here. First time I've had a chance

823
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:05.639
<v Speaker 2>to talk to him and enjoyed that conversation. So yeah,

824
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:08.519
<v Speaker 2>it's it's going to be tough. There's a lot going

825
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:11.800
<v Speaker 2>on as it relates to tariffs, but it's something that

826
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:15.280
<v Speaker 2>needs to be done and I think a long term

827
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:20.280
<v Speaker 2>this country is going to benefit mightily from what happens.

828
00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:23.159
<v Speaker 2>And look, I don't know how all this is going

829
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to play out, but I think we've got the upper

830
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:30.480
<v Speaker 2>hand in a lot of these situations. And so are

831
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:31.840
<v Speaker 2>we doing You got to go on a little bit

832
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:34.119
<v Speaker 2>of faith here, I think so. So if you want

833
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:36.119
<v Speaker 2>to talk about that, five PET three seven, four, nine

834
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:39.239
<v Speaker 2>fifty five hundred the number to call if you want

835
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:42.719
<v Speaker 2>to get on board. DOGE has been busy. Haven't seen

836
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:45.000
<v Speaker 2>really seen a lot from DOGE in the last couple

837
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:50.159
<v Speaker 2>of days, but they they put some stuff out and

838
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:54.000
<v Speaker 2>they talk about virtually every member, every staff member of

839
00:55:54.039 --> 00:56:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the Pentagon's Defense Digital Service is resigning as Doge cleans stage,

840
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:04.719
<v Speaker 2>is replacing the team far left Silicon Valley tech ees

841
00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:09.119
<v Speaker 2>dubbed the SWAT Team of Nerds and heading their duties

842
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:13.519
<v Speaker 2>over to the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office under

843
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:16.519
<v Speaker 2>pressure from Elon Musk. The Elon Musk led Department of

844
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Government Efficiency nearly all staff at the Defense Digital Service,

845
00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:27.559
<v Speaker 2>the Pentagon's fast tracked tech development arm, are resigning in

846
00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the coming month. According to the director of three current

847
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:38.639
<v Speaker 2>members of the office granted anonymity to discuss their job status.

848
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:45.159
<v Speaker 2>The resignations will effectively shut down the decade old program

849
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:48.760
<v Speaker 2>at the end of April. The Defense Digital Service was

850
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:52.679
<v Speaker 2>created in twenty fifteen to help the Pentagon adopt fast

851
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:57.920
<v Speaker 2>tech fixes during national security crises and push Silicon Valley

852
00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:03.679
<v Speaker 2>style innovations inside the Pentagon. It built rapid response tools

853
00:57:03.679 --> 00:57:06.719
<v Speaker 2>for the military during the Afghanistan withdrawal? How well did

854
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:12.320
<v Speaker 2>that work out? Databases to transfer Ukrainian military and humanitarian

855
00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:19.119
<v Speaker 2>aid drone detection technologies are more Without the program, some

856
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:23.079
<v Speaker 2>key efforts to streamline the DODS tech talent pipeline and

857
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:27.400
<v Speaker 2>counter adversarial drones will be sunseted. One soon to be

858
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:32.760
<v Speaker 2>former employee said, or once dubbed the Pentagon Swat Team

859
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:35.760
<v Speaker 2>of nerds. D DS was one of the department's earliest

860
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:41.599
<v Speaker 2>efforts to inject Silicon Valley ethos into its massive bureaucracy.

861
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:45.760
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if Silicon Valley ethos is the

862
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:50.079
<v Speaker 2>thing that we really want winding its way through the

863
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Department of Defense. Speaking of the Department of Defense, an

864
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:59.920
<v Speaker 2>advisor for Secretary Pete Hegseth has been put on lead

865
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:05.840
<v Speaker 2>if Dan Caldwell escorted from the Pentagon for an unauthorized disclosure.

866
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:10.920
<v Speaker 2>According to Ruters, details of the unauthorized disclosure are unclear.

867
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:14.639
<v Speaker 2>According to Ruters, this comes after our March twenty first

868
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:20.519
<v Speaker 2>memo ordering a Pentagon investigation into leaks, ordered by Pete Hegsath,

869
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:25.360
<v Speaker 2>chief of Staff. So this guy was a senior advisor

870
00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:30.920
<v Speaker 2>to the Defense Secretary and it turned out that you know,

871
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:34.519
<v Speaker 2>there some some of the leaking may involve have involved him.

872
00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:40.559
<v Speaker 2>So they kicked him out. Didn't wait around, found out

873
00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:45.119
<v Speaker 2>this guy was maybe not to be trusted. Who knows.

874
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Dan Caldwell was included in the Mike Wallas Hoody chat

875
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:52.119
<v Speaker 2>and will be interesting to see how this removal is

876
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:57.119
<v Speaker 2>tied to that campaign. So get him out of there,

877
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and don't wait around. You find out someone's not following

878
00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:06.119
<v Speaker 2>the rules. Pete he Seth says, kick him out, and

879
00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any problem with that at all. Six

880
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:12.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven fifty five KRC The Talk Station fifty five

881
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.599
<v Speaker 2>KRC the Talk Station get Ready for Spring and have

882
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:24.119
<v Speaker 2>your roof gutters segment sixty one on this Wednesday morning,

883
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:30.679
<v Speaker 2>fifty five KRC and talking about Doge and what they've

884
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:35.320
<v Speaker 2>been up to. Got a bunch of far left Silicon

885
00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Valley techies out of the Pentagon. I love this. The

886
00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:45.639
<v Speaker 2>State Department has acted over two hundred million and foreign

887
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:51.760
<v Speaker 2>grants funded by taxpayer dollars. The Secretary of State Marco

888
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Rubio slashed about two hundred and fourteen million from one

889
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:59.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty nine grants, which focused on foreign assistant programs,

890
00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:07.559
<v Speaker 2>including a media sustainability program for Moldova. A media sustainability

891
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:15.079
<v Speaker 2>program for Moldova. It costs fourteen and a half million

892
01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>dollars fourteen point six million, media sustainability for Moldova. What

893
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:28.559
<v Speaker 2>is that? Why is the United States concerned about media

894
01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:35.679
<v Speaker 2>sustainability in Moldova? Is that just someone there collecting money,

895
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:41.239
<v Speaker 2>fourteen million and a half dollars worth of American money,

896
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>doing god knows what with it. That's what it sounds

897
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:48.199
<v Speaker 2>like to me. Let's see, we've got a five point

898
01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>two million dollar Diversity in Media grant for the United Kingdom.

899
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>The State Department was apparently concerned about media issues, but yeah,

900
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>they had to have. I guess the UK was suffering

901
01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>from a lack of diversity in media, and so the

902
01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>State Department saw fit to spend five point two million

903
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>dollars on it. But Marco Rubio says, no, I don't

904
01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>think so. No more. Let's see five hundred thousand dollars

905
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:27.639
<v Speaker 2>to Armenia for environmental resilience, just one of one grant

906
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>among many others. According to the Washington Free Beacon, can

907
01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>anyone can anyone tell me what environmental resilience mean? The

908
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:45.519
<v Speaker 2>cuts were made with the aid of the Department of

909
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Government Efficiency, so thank god to that. American taxpayers should

910
01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>not be funding misguided programs like building migrant domestic worker

911
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>led movement in Lebanon or get the trolls out in

912
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.599
<v Speaker 2>the United Kingdom. Marco Rubio said, we are cleaning up

913
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the mess of the previous administration and rebuilding an agency

914
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>that is focused on putting America first. Shouldn't that what

915
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the State the State Department, Shouldn't that be what their

916
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>major concern is, America first. You know, they're there to

917
01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>implement the foreign policy of the President of the United States,

918
01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and Donald Trump wants to put America first. So that's

919
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:32.679
<v Speaker 2>what the State Department should be about, not sending money

920
01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to Moldova for god knows what reason, or five hundred

921
01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars to Armenia for environmental resilience Elsewhere in the

922
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>DOGE world. They've are continuing with their program to audit

923
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and get rid of unused and unneeded credit cards in

924
01:02:53.800 --> 01:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the federal government. They thirty different agencies. After seven weeks,

925
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:08.920
<v Speaker 2>about four hundred seventy thousand cards have been deactivated, four

926
01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:12.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred seventy thousand credit cards. Sean McMahon, does that sound

927
01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:17.920
<v Speaker 2>like a lot, four hundred and seventy thousand credit cards deactivated? Well,

928
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.920
<v Speaker 2>four hundred seventy thousand cards is really just a drop

929
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>in the bucket those rights. As a reminder, at the

930
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>start of the audit there were four point six million

931
01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:35.719
<v Speaker 2>active cards, credit cards and accounts, so they say there

932
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>is still more work to do. Yes, four hundred seventy

933
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>thousand credit cards sounds like a lot. You've got thirty

934
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>agencies there. I don't know you, but you divide thirty

935
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>into four hundred and seventy what do you get? But

936
01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it turns out there's more than four and a half million.

937
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>When they started this active credit cards and they are

938
01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:01.599
<v Speaker 2>shutting them down. The story a few weeks ago when

939
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about cutting some of these credit cards

940
01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and a federal judge said you can't do that. So

941
01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:12.519
<v Speaker 2>they came back and they changed the amount on the

942
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>credit card that they were only good for a dollar.

943
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>So that was a clever way to get around that

944
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>judges ruling. And we've got more from Doache, so we'll

945
01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about that on the other side of this fifty

946
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>five krs.

947
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>He talks station fifty five KRC.

948
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Listen Sex fifty on this Wednesday morning, fifty five krs.

949
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Continuing with a little bit of the Doge news that

950
01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>has been coming out over the last day or so.

951
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>The Treasury Secretary of Scott has sent. I think this

952
01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>guy's just terrific. Yeah, the interviews he's been doing as

953
01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:59.159
<v Speaker 2>approach to fiscal policy, as approached to the markets and

954
01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>everything else, I think has really been very sensible, especially

955
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>when you compare what he talks about the Janet yelling

956
01:05:07.320 --> 01:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>and Scott Pissent writes this, the IRS has removed non

957
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>technical people from technical leadership roles in engineering and replaced

958
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:20.519
<v Speaker 2>them with experienced engineers. Going forward, skilled engineers will drive

959
01:05:20.559 --> 01:05:24.159
<v Speaker 2>technical decisions. The IRS has its fair share of software talent.

960
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:28.320
<v Speaker 2>These men and women will have long served the IRS.

961
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:31.639
<v Speaker 2>They need to be empowered to make decisions. Then he

962
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:37.440
<v Speaker 2>talks about the IRS has successfully saved two billion dollars

963
01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:43.159
<v Speaker 2>without any operational disruptions by eliminating wasteful contracts such as

964
01:05:43.320 --> 01:05:49.519
<v Speaker 2>auto renewed licenses unused for years. So all these spending

965
01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:56.239
<v Speaker 2>cuts far from the doom and gloom that those on

966
01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the other side, not Republicans but Democrats. What have you believed?

967
01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>And really the wasteful spending is really just complete junk,

968
01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:08.599
<v Speaker 2>just junk, get.

969
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Rid of it.

970
01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:12.639
<v Speaker 2>It's it's in the millions and in some cases the

971
01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>billions of dollars. And they want to act like these

972
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:17.840
<v Speaker 2>agencies are being cut to the bone. I mean it

973
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:21.719
<v Speaker 2>is really just barely scratching the surface on a lot

974
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>of these different agencies and issues. William, William, what's what's

975
01:06:26.920 --> 01:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>going on this morning? How you doing all right?

976
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:34.159
<v Speaker 10>My question is this, yes, sir, is about the cuts.

977
01:06:34.199 --> 01:06:37.880
<v Speaker 10>How did they get these fundings? How did they get started?

978
01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Who started it?

979
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:43.320
<v Speaker 10>Who is responsible for putting this program together?

980
01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think what we've seen is that there are

981
01:06:47.239 --> 01:06:49.840
<v Speaker 2>all these are you familiar with the term NNGO non

982
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:54.079
<v Speaker 2>governmental organizations. You get that, yeah, you get you get

983
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>all these lawmakers that that have their friends or their

984
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>family members or you know, former staffers. They go out

985
01:07:01.320 --> 01:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and they form these different NGOs and they say, well,

986
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, we we're really concerned about the environment. And

987
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>then they come up with a program. And in a

988
01:07:11.440 --> 01:07:14.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of cases, these programs are in foreign countries, and

989
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:16.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, they talk about, well, you know, there's really

990
01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:21.119
<v Speaker 2>inequity when it comes to women working in Malaysia or

991
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Indonesia or some foreign country like this. So they go there,

992
01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:28.239
<v Speaker 2>they set up essentially a post office box, and then

993
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:32.119
<v Speaker 2>they've got a friend in Congress who's able to you know,

994
01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>carve out a ten million dollar grant, a twenty million

995
01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>dollar grant, or in the case of Stacy Abrams, two

996
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:43.079
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars so she can put you know, you know,

997
01:07:43.199 --> 01:07:47.639
<v Speaker 2>new appliances in in in homes across the country using

998
01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>two billion federal taxpayer dollars. So it's it's it's just

999
01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>one huge grift and it has spread so far and wide,

1000
01:07:56.840 --> 01:08:01.760
<v Speaker 2>and it went on unchecked for so many years, and

1001
01:08:01.800 --> 01:08:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that's why, you know, it's it's so much low hanging

1002
01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:07.400
<v Speaker 2>fruit that they found. You know, when it comes to

1003
01:08:07.800 --> 01:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the overall size of the budget, it's you know, I

1004
01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>think less than one percent or about one percent. But

1005
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:17.199
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to putting money in an individual's pocket,

1006
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, five hundred grand or one point two million

1007
01:08:21.479 --> 01:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make a lot of difference to the federal budget.

1008
01:08:24.079 --> 01:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>But William, if someone put that kind of money in

1009
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:27.640
<v Speaker 2>your pocket, would that make a difference to you?

1010
01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:30.560
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely?

1011
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:35.600
<v Speaker 11>That's what That's what's bothering me is we're really it's

1012
01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:40.319
<v Speaker 11>been a problem that it just goes back and shows

1013
01:08:40.399 --> 01:08:44.840
<v Speaker 11>us how these people are getting elected, they get richer,

1014
01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:49.279
<v Speaker 11>and you know, you're making state safety Abrams. From what

1015
01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:53.439
<v Speaker 11>I've heard, that money is actually circled back to her.

1016
01:08:54.640 --> 01:08:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, it circles back to her. And do you think

1017
01:08:58.279 --> 01:09:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Stacy Abram Abrams has a lot of ends in Congress?

1018
01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:02.159
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

1019
01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And do you think some of that winds up

1020
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:07.319
<v Speaker 2>circling back to them as well? Yeah.

1021
01:09:07.479 --> 01:09:11.199
<v Speaker 10>Now the question now becomes, how do we fix it

1022
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:16.359
<v Speaker 10>other than looking at every one we vote for objectively

1023
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:20.039
<v Speaker 10>and say what did you approve? And I think we

1024
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:24.039
<v Speaker 10>would wind up with a whole new Congress, whole new Senate, every.

1025
01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Space Well, the first part of fixing it is exposing it,

1026
01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and then you have to cut it off. And then

1027
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:33.680
<v Speaker 2>eventually there needs to be prosecutions if these people wound

1028
01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>up broken the law, and that's the name of that too.

1029
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>And as far as I'm concerned, it's time to start

1030
01:09:38.600 --> 01:09:41.359
<v Speaker 2>seeing some people getting purple walked. Six fifty five at

1031
01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>fifty five KRC the talk station. Promise is made, the

1032
01:09:44.680 --> 01:09:45.760
<v Speaker 2>promises kept.

1033
01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:48.640
<v Speaker 4>Politicians won't do. Join us in the chat post out

1034
01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:50.039
<v Speaker 4>a politician and I love it.

1035
01:09:50.199 --> 01:10:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five krs the talk station, fifty five KRC the

1036
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>talk station seven oh five Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas,

1037
01:10:21.880 --> 01:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, glad you are here. Always my pleasure to

1038
01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>be here with the great Brian Thomas, the loyal Conservative

1039
01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:36.279
<v Speaker 2>audience of fifty five KRC. I absolutely love it and

1040
01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:40.239
<v Speaker 2>no place I'd rather be in the morning. Five three

1041
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:42.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred the number to call, just to wrap up. While

1042
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.119
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about with the Department of Government Efficiency

1043
01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:50.239
<v Speaker 2>and the Secretary of Rubio posted this some of the

1044
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:53.359
<v Speaker 2>wasteful grants that they got rid of one point four

1045
01:10:53.399 --> 01:11:02.079
<v Speaker 2>million for the preventing Internet fragmentation in Brazil. Preventing Internet

1046
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:07.319
<v Speaker 2>fragmentation in Brazil one point four million dollars to that.

1047
01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:10.119
<v Speaker 2>And like I was talking to the to the caller

1048
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>I had right before the break, you know, there's probably

1049
01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:20.680
<v Speaker 2>some NNGO, some nonprofit organization that you know, has looked

1050
01:11:20.720 --> 01:11:24.439
<v Speaker 2>at the Internet in Brazil and said, wow, for you know,

1051
01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:26.520
<v Speaker 2>for just a little bit of money, we can really

1052
01:11:26.600 --> 01:11:29.560
<v Speaker 2>help out these people get on the Internet in Brazil.

1053
01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Really is the Internet the answer to anyone's problem? Obviously

1054
01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:40.800
<v Speaker 2>it has its useful purposes. But if people in Brazil

1055
01:11:40.880 --> 01:11:45.239
<v Speaker 2>want the Internet, shouldn't that be on them? Why should

1056
01:11:45.239 --> 01:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>it be up to the United States to spend one

1057
01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:54.479
<v Speaker 2>point four million dollars to prevent Internet fragmation fragmentation? I

1058
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>don't even know what that means. Sean McMahon. You're you're

1059
01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>younger guy than me. You you're up on all the

1060
01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Internet stuff. What does internet fragmentation mean? I could not

1061
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:10.560
<v Speaker 2>tell you. He doesn't know. And it's saying nobody knows,

1062
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:13.399
<v Speaker 2>nobody knows what any of this stuffy I mean, if

1063
01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:17.079
<v Speaker 2>you're really being honest about it, nobody knows what most

1064
01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:22.680
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff even means. But we but we spend

1065
01:12:22.680 --> 01:12:27.520
<v Speaker 2>money on it anyway, And again it is absolute chump change.

1066
01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:30.239
<v Speaker 2>When you look at the size of the federal budget,

1067
01:12:32.239 --> 01:12:34.640
<v Speaker 2>but when that money lands in the pocket of an

1068
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:40.079
<v Speaker 2>individual who's on the grift, it's life changing, absolutely life changing.

1069
01:12:41.039 --> 01:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>And we're bringing all this stuff is well, I would

1070
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably premature to say that we're going to bring

1071
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:51.560
<v Speaker 2>it all to a stop, but at least some of it.

1072
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:54.479
<v Speaker 2>We're bringing it to a stop because I have no

1073
01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>doubt there's a lot more out there that we haven't

1074
01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>even come close to finding yet. A million dollars for

1075
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:04.000
<v Speaker 2>building trust and keeping hope alive in Sri Lanka? What

1076
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:08.279
<v Speaker 2>the heck does that mean? Building trust and keeping hope

1077
01:13:08.319 --> 01:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>alive in Sri Lanka? Keeping hope alive? Is that an

1078
01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Obama thing? Obviously there's some friend of Obama that's in

1079
01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Sri Lanka. I know they've had their issues there with

1080
01:13:22.439 --> 01:13:27.279
<v Speaker 2>civil war and the like. But building trust and keeping

1081
01:13:27.279 --> 01:13:31.439
<v Speaker 2>hope alive in Sri Lanka? Really a million dollars for that?

1082
01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:35.159
<v Speaker 2>The State Department, they said, no, how about two million

1083
01:13:35.199 --> 01:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>dollars for advancing democratic culture in America or I I'm sorry,

1084
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:45.359
<v Speaker 2>not America but Armenia. If our media wants a democratic culture,

1085
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:50.760
<v Speaker 2>then that's up to them to advance and promote that

1086
01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:55.640
<v Speaker 2>not the United States. And then a five point two

1087
01:13:55.720 --> 01:13:59.000
<v Speaker 2>million to Media Diversity for programs like get the Trolls Out,

1088
01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:04.439
<v Speaker 2>an anti disinformation program in the United Kingdom. It may

1089
01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:09.279
<v Speaker 2>serve you a useful purpose. I don't know, but you know,

1090
01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:12.079
<v Speaker 2>five million from the federal government that needs to come

1091
01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to an end. Let's go to Tim and Batesville and

1092
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Tim seven hundred, not seven hundred, but fifty five KRC.

1093
01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:18.600
<v Speaker 2>How are you.

1094
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:25.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm doing good, Dan, Thanks for taking my call. Yes, air, Hey,

1095
01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:28.880
<v Speaker 7>I wanted to talk about the credit cards that the

1096
01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:32.560
<v Speaker 7>government uses. It's been twenty years since I was in

1097
01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:36.920
<v Speaker 7>the Navy and I had my credit cards I had won.

1098
01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:41.279
<v Speaker 7>It was an American Express card that we used for travel.

1099
01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:46.159
<v Speaker 7>And you know, if somebody was going to travel, you've

1100
01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:48.399
<v Speaker 7>got a credit card and you had that card until

1101
01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:50.720
<v Speaker 7>you got rid of it. Now, you couldn't use it

1102
01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:55.680
<v Speaker 7>for like regular purchases, you know, but in travel, you know,

1103
01:14:55.800 --> 01:15:00.199
<v Speaker 7>buying your plane ticket, you're you know, authorized travel could

1104
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:05.520
<v Speaker 7>use it. And if you did, if you did use

1105
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:08.279
<v Speaker 7>the credit card for your own personal uses, it was

1106
01:15:08.359 --> 01:15:10.600
<v Speaker 7>upon you to pay it off. If you didn't sure,

1107
01:15:10.720 --> 01:15:13.560
<v Speaker 7>you know, then the command got involved. The other credit

1108
01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:17.039
<v Speaker 7>card I had was also in the the process of

1109
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:22.239
<v Speaker 7>my job. It was for purchasing, and you know, at

1110
01:15:22.279 --> 01:15:28.439
<v Speaker 7>a command they cut out a lot of the contracting

1111
01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:35.600
<v Speaker 7>for things so that the commands themselves could purchase items,

1112
01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:40.640
<v Speaker 7>you know, to complete the command's mission. You know, you

1113
01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:45.319
<v Speaker 7>had various resources to go to to purchase items, and

1114
01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:47.800
<v Speaker 7>you know, you could go on the open market if

1115
01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:52.560
<v Speaker 7>it was cheaper. And a case in point, to buy

1116
01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:56.800
<v Speaker 7>a ceiling fan from the Navy stock system it was

1117
01:15:58.720 --> 01:16:02.039
<v Speaker 7>about two and twenty five dollars just regular ceiling fans.

1118
01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:06.399
<v Speaker 7>To go to dan Fan City, it was twenty five

1119
01:16:06.439 --> 01:16:10.960
<v Speaker 7>dollars to buy it. So which way do you think

1120
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:14.520
<v Speaker 7>that I would have went to purchase the ceiling fan.

1121
01:16:14.560 --> 01:16:17.319
<v Speaker 7>I would have went thee Dan Fan City and I

1122
01:16:17.319 --> 01:16:19.720
<v Speaker 7>could use that credit card to purchase it once I

1123
01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:23.439
<v Speaker 7>was authorized to use it. Well, you know why there's

1124
01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:24.720
<v Speaker 7>a lot of credit cards.

1125
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when when I went when I was in the military,

1126
01:16:27.079 --> 01:16:29.520
<v Speaker 2>there was I was in the Air Force. It probably

1127
01:16:29.560 --> 01:16:32.319
<v Speaker 2>before you were in the Navy, but I remember at

1128
01:16:32.319 --> 01:16:35.239
<v Speaker 2>that time there was a lot of discussion about that

1129
01:16:35.359 --> 01:16:41.079
<v Speaker 2>about simply uh, you know, working outside the military procurement system,

1130
01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:44.479
<v Speaker 2>even for the most simplest of things. I think for

1131
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:46.479
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, there was a there was some

1132
01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:50.039
<v Speaker 2>sort of ingrained ideology that if if you were going

1133
01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:53.319
<v Speaker 2>to make a purchase or a military unit was going

1134
01:16:53.359 --> 01:16:55.439
<v Speaker 2>to make a purchase for I mean, you know, just

1135
01:16:55.479 --> 01:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>about anything under the sun, that it had to go

1136
01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:02.359
<v Speaker 2>through a very strict and regimented process. And so at

1137
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:04.239
<v Speaker 2>that time, I know they were trying to break out

1138
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:07.039
<v Speaker 2>of that. But when you look at the overall size

1139
01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of the and I think that you know, there are

1140
01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:13.600
<v Speaker 2>there are probably some perfectly acceptable times and and and

1141
01:17:14.039 --> 01:17:18.279
<v Speaker 2>perfectly good reasons for individuals within the federal government to

1142
01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:21.199
<v Speaker 2>have access to credit cards. But when I look at

1143
01:17:21.319 --> 01:17:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the DOGE talking about four and a half million active

1144
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>credit card accounts within the federal government, that uh and

1145
01:17:29.960 --> 01:17:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and who knows what kind of abuses because look, you know,

1146
01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Tim that if people have access to these credit cards,

1147
01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>and we and if we went and looked, we could

1148
01:17:40.399 --> 01:17:43.920
<v Speaker 2>find story after story after story of someone who's using

1149
01:17:43.960 --> 01:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>a government credit card to make it rain at the

1150
01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:50.199
<v Speaker 2>strip club. You know, who's buying a sports car. You know,

1151
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:53.199
<v Speaker 2>they're paying for their daughter's prom, paying for a wedding,

1152
01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:56.560
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that. You know, that kind of stuff has happened.

1153
01:17:56.880 --> 01:17:59.479
<v Speaker 2>And so when you've got four and a half million

1154
01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:02.399
<v Speaker 2>credit cards out there, that to me sounds like a

1155
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>really big number and that needs to uh at least

1156
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:08.720
<v Speaker 2>at the very least be checked and reined in at

1157
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>some point.

1158
01:18:10.399 --> 01:18:12.960
<v Speaker 7>Right, I get that. And you know, we did have that.

1159
01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:16.239
<v Speaker 7>We had a group of people that outfitted a bar

1160
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:20.000
<v Speaker 7>that they were running with the uh the simple SIED

1161
01:18:20.079 --> 01:18:24.159
<v Speaker 7>purchase card and they got caught, you know. But uh,

1162
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:27.359
<v Speaker 7>you know, and then if like I said, with the

1163
01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:32.359
<v Speaker 7>travel card, that was it was we've gotten through the government,

1164
01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:37.199
<v Speaker 7>but you were responsible, you know, as an individual to

1165
01:18:37.279 --> 01:18:40.600
<v Speaker 7>pay for your card so you could use it. It's

1166
01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:44.600
<v Speaker 7>just uh uh it didn't go towards your credit or

1167
01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:47.119
<v Speaker 7>anything like that. It was just kind of like, uh,

1168
01:18:47.159 --> 01:18:50.880
<v Speaker 7>you know, government backed, but the government didn't pay for it.

1169
01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:53.239
<v Speaker 7>You paid for it. And if you didn't pay it,

1170
01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:55.800
<v Speaker 7>then you paid it anyway because they would take the

1171
01:18:55.840 --> 01:19:02.000
<v Speaker 7>money from you. Well, uh, that's that's how travel card works.

1172
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, Tim, I appreciate the insight on that, and I

1173
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:08.199
<v Speaker 2>thank you for your service in the Navy, sir, thank

1174
01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:12.159
<v Speaker 2>you for your hows how's everything in Batesville. I used

1175
01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:13.439
<v Speaker 2>to I used to live in Batesville.

1176
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:17.079
<v Speaker 7>I just go up there to pick up stuff.

1177
01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, yeah, all right, Tim, I appreciate the call

1178
01:19:21.479 --> 01:19:25.119
<v Speaker 2>this morning. All right, all right, there you go, Tim.

1179
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:27.640
<v Speaker 2>He used to use the government credit card. And again,

1180
01:19:28.039 --> 01:19:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, all this stuff is there, you know, is there?

1181
01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>There's some things that you know, maybe not you know,

1182
01:19:37.159 --> 01:19:40.680
<v Speaker 2>are not the strictest under the you know, the strictest

1183
01:19:40.760 --> 01:19:44.760
<v Speaker 2>terms that you know, falling or putting on the periphery

1184
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:48.880
<v Speaker 2>of the federal government. That it makes sense the fund,

1185
01:19:48.920 --> 01:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I think there is. But when you just look at

1186
01:19:52.720 --> 01:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>the I mean, ever since Dode started putting all this

1187
01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:59.640
<v Speaker 2>stuff out, when you look at just the nonsense we

1188
01:19:59.680 --> 01:20:02.479
<v Speaker 2>are paying for. Sean mcman, do we have that cup

1189
01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:06.640
<v Speaker 2>from yesterday? This is Marjorie Tailor Green. Marjorie Tailer Green's

1190
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:10.479
<v Speaker 2>been holding a lot of different hearings on wasteful spending

1191
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and the dough and here's one item that she came

1192
01:20:14.680 --> 01:20:18.039
<v Speaker 2>up with the other day. And Sean, do we have

1193
01:20:18.079 --> 01:20:19.840
<v Speaker 2>that cup from yesterday? Let's go ahead and roll that

1194
01:20:19.880 --> 01:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Marjorie Tailor Green and listen to what she's talking about here.

1195
01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:25.319
<v Speaker 12>In twenty twenty one, the CDC spent almost a quarter

1196
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:30.000
<v Speaker 12>million dollars on solar powered picnic tables. The CDC at

1197
01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:33.439
<v Speaker 12>the time was telling people to socially distance with masks

1198
01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:38.000
<v Speaker 12>and basically forcing a vaccine that many Americans didn't want.

1199
01:20:38.239 --> 01:20:41.520
<v Speaker 12>So what use would its employees have for this new

1200
01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:45.800
<v Speaker 12>picnic table that has quite the price?

1201
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:49.319
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it's quite expensive, and you know, the social distancing

1202
01:20:49.359 --> 01:20:52.800
<v Speaker 11>guideline suggested they shouldn't be seated at that table while

1203
01:20:52.800 --> 01:20:54.039
<v Speaker 11>they were spending to.

1204
01:20:54.199 --> 01:20:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Look at them. Look at those seats. Look at those seats.

1205
01:20:58.079 --> 01:20:59.439
<v Speaker 12>That's not social distancing.

1206
01:20:59.560 --> 01:21:00.319
<v Speaker 2>They're quite close.

1207
01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>There's a close proximity of the c's to the other.

1208
01:21:03.079 --> 01:21:03.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1209
01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:05.439
<v Speaker 12>Real quick, I've just got a short amount of time yet,

1210
01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:09.720
<v Speaker 12>I'd like to ask God, just basically, just for the

1211
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:13.439
<v Speaker 12>general audience, is two hundred and thirty eight thousand spent

1212
01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:16.960
<v Speaker 12>on solar powered picnic tables at the CDC appropriate? I

1213
01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:20.079
<v Speaker 12>think the American people think, so that's disgusting. Is seven

1214
01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:23.119
<v Speaker 12>hundred thousand spent by the SEC for their New York

1215
01:21:23.159 --> 01:21:27.279
<v Speaker 12>regional office conference room appropriate of taxpayer dollars? I don't

1216
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:29.880
<v Speaker 12>think so. What about six point five million spent on

1217
01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:36.640
<v Speaker 12>high end furniture to redecorate the EPE office? No, and

1218
01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:39.840
<v Speaker 12>then two hundred and eighty four thousand and Herman Miller

1219
01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:44.600
<v Speaker 12>furniture for femas headquarters, conference center and appropriate use of

1220
01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:48.560
<v Speaker 12>taxpayer dollars, I would argue not. I'm definitely over time.

1221
01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:51.920
<v Speaker 12>So thank you, gentlemen, Herman Miller furniture.

1222
01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what that is. I guess that's

1223
01:21:54.199 --> 01:21:58.039
<v Speaker 2>some high end really, I would imagine. But can you

1224
01:21:58.079 --> 01:22:00.039
<v Speaker 2>do with something that maybe is not high end and

1225
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:04.760
<v Speaker 2>not as fancy smancy? I would think so. And then uh, sean,

1226
01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>what was the price tag on that two hundred and

1227
01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:12.319
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven thousand, thirty eight thousand for a solar powered

1228
01:22:12.359 --> 01:22:18.760
<v Speaker 2>picnic table? I can build a picnic table, and I

1229
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:22.159
<v Speaker 2>would do it. I would gladly do it nonsolar powered

1230
01:22:22.560 --> 01:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>for about half the price. I'll be glad. I'll be

1231
01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:27.720
<v Speaker 2>glad to crank out two or three or four of

1232
01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:30.880
<v Speaker 2>those a week. That'd be for that money, that'd be fantastic.

1233
01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Seven seventeen late for a break on fifty five KRC

1234
01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:35.199
<v Speaker 2>the talk station.

1235
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five KRC hikes.

1236
01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Brian Thomas here for four in exchange fifty five KRC

1237
01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:58.199
<v Speaker 2>the Talk Station. Joe Biden came out of wherever he's

1238
01:22:58.199 --> 01:23:02.760
<v Speaker 2>been hiding lately, and made some his first public remarks

1239
01:23:02.840 --> 01:23:05.439
<v Speaker 2>since leaving office. This is how CBS News reported it.

1240
01:23:06.039 --> 01:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>During his speech at the Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for

1241
01:23:09.039 --> 01:23:13.239
<v Speaker 2>the Disabled conference in Chicago. Biden has sailed President Trump's

1242
01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>ad administration, but did not name mister Trump directly. He

1243
01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:21.600
<v Speaker 2>also didn't address his departure from last year's presidential race.

1244
01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Former president called social Security a sacred promised how died

1245
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:32.039
<v Speaker 2>his administration's efforts to cut Social Security fraud. Really, I

1246
01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:35.319
<v Speaker 2>don't remember talking about that. I don't remember the Biden

1247
01:23:35.319 --> 01:23:40.239
<v Speaker 2>administration going after any fraud at all. He mock claims

1248
01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:44.520
<v Speaker 2>by the Trump administration that scores of implausibly old people

1249
01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:48.239
<v Speaker 2>are collecting payments. It's not what the it's not what

1250
01:23:48.880 --> 01:23:53.239
<v Speaker 2>not what they said when Elon Musk came out with

1251
01:23:53.279 --> 01:23:59.000
<v Speaker 2>that about Social Security, they talked about how they had

1252
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:03.159
<v Speaker 2>all these people were over one hundred years old, some older.

1253
01:24:03.880 --> 01:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I think there was one person who was older than

1254
01:24:05.680 --> 01:24:09.479
<v Speaker 2>the country itself, but tens of thousands of people who

1255
01:24:09.520 --> 01:24:11.319
<v Speaker 2>were between the ages of one hundred and thirty and

1256
01:24:11.319 --> 01:24:15.199
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty who were still active on the

1257
01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:21.560
<v Speaker 2>database at Social Security Now, he never said that these

1258
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:25.680
<v Speaker 2>people were receiving checks. He said that they were still

1259
01:24:25.720 --> 01:24:30.760
<v Speaker 2>active as far as Social Security was concerned. That these

1260
01:24:30.800 --> 01:24:33.640
<v Speaker 2>people say, as far as Social Security was concerned, these

1261
01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:40.239
<v Speaker 2>people were still alive and capable of getting checks. So

1262
01:24:40.279 --> 01:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>they went back in and they looked at it, and

1263
01:24:41.920 --> 01:24:43.960
<v Speaker 2>they found out that some of these checks are still

1264
01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>not to all of them, but to some of them.

1265
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:51.039
<v Speaker 2>And Biden says, by the way, those three hundred y

1266
01:24:51.039 --> 01:24:53.119
<v Speaker 2>old folks getting Social Security, I want to meet them.

1267
01:24:53.159 --> 01:24:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Hell man, the hell of a thing. Man, I'm looking

1268
01:24:55.199 --> 01:25:00.239
<v Speaker 2>for longevity. But I've got a couple of audios sound

1269
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>bites from the the Biden speech last night. And let's

1270
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:09.039
<v Speaker 2>start with uh Sean, let's start with cut number one

1271
01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and the uh and and you're gonna hear you'll hear

1272
01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>some music here, and then you'll hear very faintly Biden

1273
01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:20.279
<v Speaker 2>in the background because he started talking before the music stopped,

1274
01:25:21.479 --> 01:25:24.079
<v Speaker 2>so he got off to a rough start. This is

1275
01:25:24.119 --> 01:25:37.479
<v Speaker 2>what that sounded like. Cut one.

1276
01:25:39.720 --> 01:25:43.920
<v Speaker 5>We deserve help and pay for him.

1277
01:25:44.119 --> 01:25:46.720
<v Speaker 2>They had. They had to cut the music off abruptly.

1278
01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:51.439
<v Speaker 2>There couldn't just fade it down because Joe Biden just

1279
01:25:51.479 --> 01:25:54.760
<v Speaker 2>got out there and started talking almost as if he's

1280
01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:57.800
<v Speaker 2>never done this before. You know, you would think a

1281
01:25:57.840 --> 01:26:01.079
<v Speaker 2>guy who's been around that long would have some sense

1282
01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:06.000
<v Speaker 2>of when to start talking. You go out there, you

1283
01:26:06.279 --> 01:26:13.039
<v Speaker 2>acknowledge the crowd, you know, you say thank you, You

1284
01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>look around to see people, you know whatever, point to people.

1285
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:19.760
<v Speaker 2>So the politicians always do that. They get up on

1286
01:26:19.840 --> 01:26:26.680
<v Speaker 2>stage and they point to people like I know you. So, yeah,

1287
01:26:26.680 --> 01:26:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I got off to a little bit of a rough start.

1288
01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I got a couple of more soundbites. I'll get to

1289
01:26:31.720 --> 01:26:33.479
<v Speaker 2>here in just a minute, but we'll do a little

1290
01:26:35.039 --> 01:26:37.079
<v Speaker 2>take a little break here quickly, and then we'll get

1291
01:26:37.079 --> 01:26:39.720
<v Speaker 2>into that. On fifty five KRC, the talk station.

1292
01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five KRC.

1293
01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:49.279
<v Speaker 2>How many realtors do you know that? Fifty five KRC,

1294
01:26:49.479 --> 01:26:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the talk station, continuing on with some of the soundbites

1295
01:26:57.000 --> 01:27:02.239
<v Speaker 2>from Joe Biden's much anticipated speech, first speech since leaving

1296
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the Oval Office. Much anticipated. I don't know, Sean, did

1297
01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:10.880
<v Speaker 2>you see any of that? Yeah? He, I mean I

1298
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:15.479
<v Speaker 2>saw some of the video of that man. I mean,

1299
01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:20.600
<v Speaker 2>he just looked like he was I mean, I don't

1300
01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>know what they what they drugged him up with, but

1301
01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you know he had that you know, the wide eyed.

1302
01:27:27.239 --> 01:27:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Look his hair looked you know, someone else is doing

1303
01:27:32.640 --> 01:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>his hair now. His hair looked a little bit different

1304
01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:40.319
<v Speaker 2>than it did before. But Joe was walking down memory

1305
01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Lane for some reason and decided to tell a just

1306
01:27:46.279 --> 01:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>a heartwarming tale of the first time he saw black people.

1307
01:27:50.319 --> 01:27:51.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's your cut number two.

1308
01:27:52.279 --> 01:27:56.279
<v Speaker 13>And I had never seen I'd never seen hardly any

1309
01:27:56.319 --> 01:27:58.840
<v Speaker 13>black people scranting at the time when I and I

1310
01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:02.680
<v Speaker 13>was only going on fourth and I remember seeing kids

1311
01:28:02.720 --> 01:28:05.640
<v Speaker 13>going by at the time, called colored kids on a bus.

1312
01:28:05.399 --> 01:28:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Going by fourth grade. I haven't we heard time and

1313
01:28:10.359 --> 01:28:15.600
<v Speaker 2>time and time again how Joe Biden was brought up

1314
01:28:15.880 --> 01:28:19.359
<v Speaker 2>in the Black church or was that the Catholic Church

1315
01:28:19.439 --> 01:28:23.880
<v Speaker 2>or the Synagogue? Didn't he tell the heartwarming stories about

1316
01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:27.279
<v Speaker 2>how he used to go to Sunday Mass, and then

1317
01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:31.399
<v Speaker 2>he'd run over to temple and commune with all his

1318
01:28:31.479 --> 01:28:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Jewish friends, and then on it was on to the

1319
01:28:33.640 --> 01:28:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Church and hanging out with all the different communities

1320
01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:44.640
<v Speaker 2>around Scranton. There haven't we heard multiple tales of Joe Biden,

1321
01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:51.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, moving freely between all these great ethnic communities.

1322
01:28:53.560 --> 01:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>And then he talks about being in the fourth grade.

1323
01:28:55.680 --> 01:28:58.920
<v Speaker 2>How old are you when you were in the fourth grade, ten, eleven, twelve,

1324
01:29:01.600 --> 01:29:08.279
<v Speaker 2>not exactly sure, maybe ten, I don't know. Eight. I

1325
01:29:08.279 --> 01:29:11.840
<v Speaker 2>think you're older than eight, maybe nine, somewhere around there.

1326
01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>But he always tells the story about how he was

1327
01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:19.439
<v Speaker 2>a kid and that was his upbringing, how he's brought

1328
01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>up in the Hispanic community and really raised by the

1329
01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>black folks. Tells all those stories about that, and even

1330
01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:33.560
<v Speaker 2>after all this time, still feels the need. He must

1331
01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:37.199
<v Speaker 2>have seen some black people in the audience, and he

1332
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:41.039
<v Speaker 2>still feels the need to try and convince them that

1333
01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:43.239
<v Speaker 2>he is one of them. I am one of you.

1334
01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Saw black people on a bus when I was in

1335
01:29:47.399 --> 01:29:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the fourth grade. First time. Terrific tale. And then he

1336
01:29:52.119 --> 01:29:54.760
<v Speaker 2>went on to talk about social security or something here.

1337
01:29:56.439 --> 01:29:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Not exactly sure what you tell me? Cut number three there, Sean.

1338
01:30:00.399 --> 01:30:06.760
<v Speaker 13>The quote is move fast, break things. They're certainly breaking things.

1339
01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:13.279
<v Speaker 13>They're shooting first and even later as a result. The

1340
01:30:13.279 --> 01:30:16.079
<v Speaker 13>result is a lot of needless pain and sleepless nights.

1341
01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:20.720
<v Speaker 13>My friend, Governor O'Malley knows what they're really up to,

1342
01:30:20.800 --> 01:30:23.600
<v Speaker 13>he says, and I love his quote. Do you want

1343
01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:27.640
<v Speaker 13>to wreck it so they can rob it? Do you want

1344
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:31.920
<v Speaker 13>to wreck it so they could rob it. Why do

1345
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:35.159
<v Speaker 13>they want to rob it in order to deliver huge

1346
01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:38.159
<v Speaker 13>tax cuts to billionaires in big corporations and keep it going?

1347
01:30:38.439 --> 01:30:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, anyone know what he's talking about there? And first

1348
01:30:44.199 --> 01:30:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought he was talking about social security. Then he

1349
01:30:46.720 --> 01:30:50.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, he might have been talking about Medicare or medicaid,

1350
01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:53.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, whether based something that the government spends big

1351
01:30:53.439 --> 01:30:56.359
<v Speaker 2>money on. Might have been talking about tax cuts. I mean,

1352
01:30:56.760 --> 01:30:59.760
<v Speaker 2>who knows. They want to wreck it so they can

1353
01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:04.239
<v Speaker 2>run of it. Now you've got Trump, who was a

1354
01:31:05.079 --> 01:31:08.640
<v Speaker 2>billionaire on in his own right. You've got Musk, who

1355
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:15.640
<v Speaker 2>is the richest guy on the planet. He you know,

1356
01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden can't even escape the the day to day

1357
01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:31.319
<v Speaker 2>fully wang that that is put out by the Democrat

1358
01:31:31.399 --> 01:31:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Party when it comes to describing this administration and the

1359
01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:40.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, the one narrative that never ever ever changes

1360
01:31:42.199 --> 01:31:44.760
<v Speaker 2>is they want tax cuts. They want you know, they

1361
01:31:44.960 --> 01:31:49.159
<v Speaker 2>they want to give tax cuts to their rich friends

1362
01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>and have the you know, the the regular work in

1363
01:31:52.000 --> 01:31:57.720
<v Speaker 2>schleps pay for it. That never changes. And you heard

1364
01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:03.439
<v Speaker 2>the applause there aring that extremely weak applause line, Did

1365
01:32:03.439 --> 01:32:05.319
<v Speaker 2>it sound like that was a packed house? Did it

1366
01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:10.920
<v Speaker 2>sound like, you know, he he filled that room with

1367
01:32:11.159 --> 01:32:16.199
<v Speaker 2>enthusiastic supporters. I don't think so. But you know who

1368
01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:20.279
<v Speaker 2>is drawing big, fairly big crowds is Okasio Cortez and

1369
01:32:20.319 --> 01:32:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Bernie Sanders. And I've got a sound bite from Bernie

1370
01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Sanders coming up. We'll roll that after this on fifty

1371
01:32:28.319 --> 01:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>five KRCV talk station fifty five KRC cyber returned fifty

1372
01:32:34.920 --> 01:32:38.560
<v Speaker 2>five KRC the talk station seven forty. You know, we

1373
01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:41.000
<v Speaker 2>were talking a little while ago about Paul rolled some

1374
01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:44.720
<v Speaker 2>of the sound bites from that really compelling speech given

1375
01:32:44.760 --> 01:32:48.760
<v Speaker 2>by Joe Biden at whatever event he was at yesterday.

1376
01:32:49.159 --> 01:32:52.079
<v Speaker 2>I believe it was in Chicago. But you know who

1377
01:32:52.119 --> 01:32:57.720
<v Speaker 2>has been drawing noticeable crowds. And look, I really I

1378
01:32:57.800 --> 01:33:03.119
<v Speaker 2>am not I am not interested at this point of

1379
01:33:03.199 --> 01:33:08.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to handicap the race for twenty twenty eight, the

1380
01:33:08.159 --> 01:33:12.039
<v Speaker 2>presidential race, whether it's jade E Vance or a Vague

1381
01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:17.880
<v Speaker 2>or Marco Rubio or Ron DeSantis, I am not interested

1382
01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:20.600
<v Speaker 2>in that. I still think, at least to my way

1383
01:33:20.640 --> 01:33:24.760
<v Speaker 2>of thinking, it's way too early for that. But Bernie Sanders,

1384
01:33:25.039 --> 01:33:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I thinks this is the great time to strike. Bernie

1385
01:33:30.680 --> 01:33:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Sanders has been touring the country on his no OLIGACKI

1386
01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:39.600
<v Speaker 2>now we're gone going to be a country of oligox oligocic.

1387
01:33:41.119 --> 01:33:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I saw a video of him the other day and

1388
01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:47.479
<v Speaker 2>it goes back to I think it starts about twenty twelve,

1389
01:33:48.399 --> 01:33:51.119
<v Speaker 2>and then it goes twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen,

1390
01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:53.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifteen, all the way up to twenty twenty five,

1391
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and he is talking about Oligarch's oligarch. So he's been

1392
01:33:57.840 --> 01:34:02.039
<v Speaker 2>he's been. Bernie Sanders got to give him credit. He

1393
01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:04.399
<v Speaker 2>was ahead of the curve when it comes to warning

1394
01:34:04.399 --> 01:34:09.199
<v Speaker 2>about the oligarchs taking over the United States, and so

1395
01:34:09.359 --> 01:34:12.680
<v Speaker 2>all the way from the earliest one of those clips

1396
01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:16.600
<v Speaker 2>it's him talking about oligarchs, and then it goes all

1397
01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the way up to twenty twenty five and he says,

1398
01:34:19.039 --> 01:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the oligarchy is here. So he's been warning.

1399
01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Bernie sand I'll give him credit for that. He's been

1400
01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:26.279
<v Speaker 2>warning about the oeb oligarchy for a long long time,

1401
01:34:27.479 --> 01:34:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and he was out there talking about it again at Coachella.

1402
01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know what Coachella was, Sean, do you

1403
01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:35.319
<v Speaker 2>know what Coachella is? Yeah, I've had friends who go

1404
01:34:35.359 --> 01:34:38.079
<v Speaker 2>to that contge. Yeah, it's an annual arts and music

1405
01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:42.199
<v Speaker 2>festival held in Indio, California. I've been to Indio, California,

1406
01:34:43.640 --> 01:34:46.199
<v Speaker 2>and I guess it's, you know, kind of a I

1407
01:34:46.239 --> 01:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's a woodstock like thing, but you know,

1408
01:34:48.920 --> 01:34:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you get to one a bunch of hippies and drug

1409
01:34:50.600 --> 01:34:55.399
<v Speaker 2>users out there, and they they have some singing and

1410
01:34:55.479 --> 01:34:58.159
<v Speaker 2>festival activities and things like that, and they also have

1411
01:34:58.239 --> 01:35:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Bernie Sanders. And Bernie is out there making a speech

1412
01:35:01.479 --> 01:35:04.000
<v Speaker 2>in Coachella. I would I would dare say Bernie Sanders

1413
01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:07.520
<v Speaker 2>had more people listening to him speak than Joe Biden did.

1414
01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:10.479
<v Speaker 2>And at the same time he's doing all this, he's

1415
01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:13.640
<v Speaker 2>paling around with Ocasio Cortes. I saw a headline today

1416
01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:16.800
<v Speaker 2>that Ocasio Cortes has already raised more than nine million

1417
01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:21.680
<v Speaker 2>dollars and not really for a presidential run, but for

1418
01:35:22.520 --> 01:35:26.760
<v Speaker 2>a run to possibly challenge Chuck Schumer. So that'll be interesting.

1419
01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:32.279
<v Speaker 2>But again, I am not getting into handicapping the presidential race.

1420
01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:35.399
<v Speaker 2>But here's what Bernie Sanders had to say at Coachella

1421
01:35:35.479 --> 01:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the other day. Cut four Oh, we.

1422
01:35:37.720 --> 01:35:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Need you to send up to fight for justice, to

1423
01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:57.399
<v Speaker 3>fight for economic justice, social justice, and racial justice. Now

1424
01:35:57.439 --> 01:36:04.239
<v Speaker 3>we got a president of the United States who I

1425
01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:10.960
<v Speaker 3>agree he thinks that climate change is a hoax.

1426
01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:12.960
<v Speaker 7>It is.

1427
01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:20.279
<v Speaker 3>He is dangerously wrong. And you and I, you and

1428
01:36:20.319 --> 01:36:22.680
<v Speaker 3>I are gonna have to stand up to the fossil

1429
01:36:22.760 --> 01:36:28.520
<v Speaker 3>fuel industry and tell them to stop destroying disciplinet.

1430
01:36:28.079 --> 01:36:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Stop right there, stop right there. A second. Bernie Sanders

1431
01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:35.520
<v Speaker 2>would not be able to make that speech were it

1432
01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:41.640
<v Speaker 2>not for the fossil fuel industry. Look, climate change is

1433
01:36:41.680 --> 01:36:44.479
<v Speaker 2>not a hoax. The idea of man made and man

1434
01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:51.680
<v Speaker 2>driven and man controlled climate change is. And these people

1435
01:36:51.680 --> 01:36:53.439
<v Speaker 2>are out there, I guess they're you know, they're probably

1436
01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:58.199
<v Speaker 2>smoking the doobies, passing the ball around. Bernie Sanders.

1437
01:36:58.239 --> 01:36:58.479
<v Speaker 5>Woo.

1438
01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:05.039
<v Speaker 2>No, but that event in Coachella could not happen were

1439
01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:08.279
<v Speaker 2>it not for fossil fuels. And Bernie Sanders is flying

1440
01:37:08.359 --> 01:37:12.479
<v Speaker 2>first class all over the country. I think he's traveling commercial.

1441
01:37:14.720 --> 01:37:18.159
<v Speaker 2>But you know those airplanes don't run on solar panels.

1442
01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, roll the bike all over this country. Not

1443
01:37:22.600 --> 01:37:24.920
<v Speaker 2>in California, not in Vermont.

1444
01:37:24.560 --> 01:37:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Where I'm from, but in Florida, where Maxwell is from.

1445
01:37:28.199 --> 01:37:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Many of the states politicians are trying to take away

1446
01:37:33.039 --> 01:37:39.840
<v Speaker 3>a woman's right to control our own body. We need

1447
01:37:39.880 --> 01:37:42.720
<v Speaker 3>you to stand up and fight.

1448
01:37:42.600 --> 01:37:43.680
<v Speaker 2>For women's rights.

1449
01:37:46.920 --> 01:37:52.560
<v Speaker 3>We have an economy today that is working very well

1450
01:37:52.840 --> 01:37:57.439
<v Speaker 3>for the billionaire class, but not for working families.

1451
01:37:59.159 --> 01:38:02.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, stop right there. You know, we talked yesterday,

1452
01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:05.520
<v Speaker 2>or at least I did, about how Trump has not

1453
01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:10.239
<v Speaker 2>been in office for three months yet and already the

1454
01:38:10.359 --> 01:38:14.279
<v Speaker 2>economy is he's giving Trump a credit for the economy

1455
01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:18.560
<v Speaker 2>for everything that's going on with the economy. He wants

1456
01:38:18.560 --> 01:38:21.600
<v Speaker 2>to give Trump credit for all that that it's working

1457
01:38:21.640 --> 01:38:26.479
<v Speaker 2>for billionaires. And Henie Bernie Sanders is able to divine

1458
01:38:26.560 --> 01:38:30.079
<v Speaker 2>that after Donald Trump has not been in office for

1459
01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:35.279
<v Speaker 2>ninety days and Bernie Sanders is out there passing judgment

1460
01:38:35.960 --> 01:38:40.680
<v Speaker 2>on what the economy is already doing under Trump. This

1461
01:38:40.760 --> 01:38:43.800
<v Speaker 2>guy is absolutely amazing. And listen to these fools just

1462
01:38:43.840 --> 01:38:46.520
<v Speaker 2>eating this stuff up. Do we have a little bit

1463
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:47.439
<v Speaker 2>of that sound bite? Left?

1464
01:38:47.520 --> 01:38:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Roll it?

1465
01:38:48.840 --> 01:38:52.720
<v Speaker 3>We need you to help us to create an economy

1466
01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:57.479
<v Speaker 3>that works well for everybody, not just the one percent.

1467
01:38:58.079 --> 01:39:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, boy, I mean they can't even come up with

1468
01:39:01.119 --> 01:39:06.079
<v Speaker 2>a new line. Hey, all this stuff this is this

1469
01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:10.359
<v Speaker 2>is all right out of the Democrat liberal leftist playbook

1470
01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:15.880
<v Speaker 2>that Kamala Harris tried to sell to the American people,

1471
01:39:17.039 --> 01:39:22.319
<v Speaker 2>and the American people aren't buying it. I mean, Bernie Sanders,

1472
01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:25.079
<v Speaker 2>come on, at least come up with something new. Is

1473
01:39:25.079 --> 01:39:29.359
<v Speaker 2>that asking too much? Apparently it is. But then again,

1474
01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:32.239
<v Speaker 2>I won't be out there at Coachella seven forty seven

1475
01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:34.039
<v Speaker 2>on fifty five KRC DE.

1476
01:39:34.039 --> 01:39:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Talk station fifty five KRC.

1477
01:39:36.800 --> 01:39:46.439
<v Speaker 2>These times of massive inflation have people fifty five KRC

1478
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:49.560
<v Speaker 2>DE talk station Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. Another reason

1479
01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I would never go to Coachella is tickets for that

1480
01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:55.319
<v Speaker 2>thing cost six hundred and seventy nine from six hundred

1481
01:39:55.359 --> 01:39:59.159
<v Speaker 2>seventy nine dollars to seven hundred and seventy nine dollars.

1482
01:40:00.840 --> 01:40:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Sean McMahon, does that sound like a bargain to you?

1483
01:40:03.239 --> 01:40:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Not to me? No VIP package twelve hundred to fourteen

1484
01:40:07.359 --> 01:40:13.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred bucks, at least not for modern artists. No, I'm

1485
01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:15.720
<v Speaker 2>not paying. I'm not paying between seven and eight hundred

1486
01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:18.560
<v Speaker 2>bucks for a ticket, especially if Bernie Sanders is going

1487
01:40:18.640 --> 01:40:23.760
<v Speaker 2>to show up. Absolutely not. But Lady Gaga was there too,

1488
01:40:24.159 --> 01:40:27.000
<v Speaker 2>so I guess that was something. Now I'm not I

1489
01:40:27.039 --> 01:40:29.239
<v Speaker 2>am not paying, and I would not pay. I don't

1490
01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:32.479
<v Speaker 2>think i'd pay eighty dollars to see Lady Gaga. I

1491
01:40:32.520 --> 01:40:35.119
<v Speaker 2>don't think so. I think she's a talented singer, but

1492
01:40:35.479 --> 01:40:38.640
<v Speaker 2>not my cup of tea. What else? What else means

1493
01:40:38.680 --> 01:40:40.279
<v Speaker 2>so many things? I've got let me see, I got

1494
01:40:40.279 --> 01:40:41.680
<v Speaker 2>don't have time. I think I got time for one

1495
01:40:41.680 --> 01:40:45.840
<v Speaker 2>more SoundBite. Here. A lot's been made in the media

1496
01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:50.439
<v Speaker 2>lately about this guy that you know got you know,

1497
01:40:50.479 --> 01:40:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the Maryland Father, the Maryland Man. The guy's he's a

1498
01:40:55.119 --> 01:41:00.920
<v Speaker 2>he's a gangbanger, he's the MS thirteen transferred to the

1499
01:41:01.359 --> 01:41:04.119
<v Speaker 2>prison down there in El Salvador. L Salvador's president was

1500
01:41:04.439 --> 01:41:06.800
<v Speaker 2>at the White House the other day, and the media

1501
01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:10.439
<v Speaker 2>is making a big deal about this. No, there have

1502
01:41:10.479 --> 01:41:13.039
<v Speaker 2>been two separate judges that have found this guy is

1503
01:41:13.079 --> 01:41:15.319
<v Speaker 2>in the country, not only in the country illegally, but

1504
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:19.119
<v Speaker 2>also an MS thirteen gang member. And Caroline Levitt was

1505
01:41:19.199 --> 01:41:21.880
<v Speaker 2>dealing with that because the media still wants to push

1506
01:41:21.920 --> 01:41:28.600
<v Speaker 2>this narrative that the Trump administration is unlawfully sending people

1507
01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:31.640
<v Speaker 2>like this out of the country, and Caroline Levitt wasn't

1508
01:41:31.680 --> 01:41:34.319
<v Speaker 2>having it at the White House, so she spelled it

1509
01:41:34.359 --> 01:41:37.159
<v Speaker 2>out for all the media morons. Let's hear cut number.

1510
01:41:36.880 --> 01:41:40.640
<v Speaker 6>Five Democrat and media outrage over the deportation of Abrigo

1511
01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:45.560
<v Speaker 6>Garcia in MS thirteen l Salvadorian, a legal alien criminal

1512
01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:49.000
<v Speaker 6>who was hiding in Maryland, has been nothing short of despicable.

1513
01:41:49.560 --> 01:41:52.159
<v Speaker 6>Based on the sensationalism of many of the people in

1514
01:41:52.239 --> 01:41:54.640
<v Speaker 6>this room, you would think we deported a candidate for

1515
01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:58.600
<v Speaker 6>Father of the Year. That's because unfortunately many in this

1516
01:41:58.640 --> 01:42:02.520
<v Speaker 6>country care more about this quote unquote Maryland father, a

1517
01:42:02.560 --> 01:42:06.000
<v Speaker 6>legal alien MS thirteen gang member, then a Maryland mother,

1518
01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:09.560
<v Speaker 6>and an American citizen who was brutally murdered at the

1519
01:42:09.560 --> 01:42:12.520
<v Speaker 6>hands of a different illegal alien. Of course, I am

1520
01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:16.880
<v Speaker 6>referring to Rachel Morin And if you didn't see, yesterday,

1521
01:42:16.960 --> 01:42:21.159
<v Speaker 6>a Maryland jury found illegal alien victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez

1522
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:24.279
<v Speaker 6>guilty of murdering Rachel Moren in August.

1523
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:25.239
<v Speaker 14>Of twenty twenty three.

1524
01:42:25.560 --> 01:42:27.720
<v Speaker 6>She was a thirty seven year old mother of five

1525
01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.760
<v Speaker 6>who was jogging in an otherwise safe community northeast of

1526
01:42:30.760 --> 01:42:34.439
<v Speaker 6>Baltimore when this monster ambushed, strangled, and beat her to

1527
01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:37.720
<v Speaker 6>death before stuffing her brutalized body in a tunnel drain.

1528
01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:42.199
<v Speaker 6>The more Infan family finally got justice yesterday, but they

1529
01:42:42.239 --> 01:42:45.119
<v Speaker 6>will never get Rachel back our hearts go out to

1530
01:42:45.199 --> 01:42:48.600
<v Speaker 6>Rachel's family, her five children and her mother, Patty, who

1531
01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:51.079
<v Speaker 6>has suffered the unimaginable loss of her daughter.

1532
01:42:52.279 --> 01:42:55.760
<v Speaker 2>So there's Caroline Levitt out laying it out, and really,

1533
01:42:55.800 --> 01:42:59.479
<v Speaker 2>I think, as plainly and as powerfully as you really can,

1534
01:43:00.399 --> 01:43:05.199
<v Speaker 2>she's just terrific. And that makes the case right there.

1535
01:43:05.960 --> 01:43:09.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, these legacy media people, these mainstream media people,

1536
01:43:09.960 --> 01:43:15.560
<v Speaker 2>they never talk about the victims of these crimes, those

1537
01:43:15.560 --> 01:43:19.439
<v Speaker 2>who get murdered, those who get raped, those who get aimed,

1538
01:43:19.520 --> 01:43:23.039
<v Speaker 2>those who get ruined for life, those who those children

1539
01:43:24.159 --> 01:43:26.640
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty thousand to three hundred thousand missing,

1540
01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:32.479
<v Speaker 2>sex trafficked, human trafficked, all the all the rest. They

1541
01:43:32.520 --> 01:43:35.239
<v Speaker 2>never want to talk about the human toll of all this.

1542
01:43:35.560 --> 01:43:39.479
<v Speaker 2>They just want to cry crocodile tears over some dude

1543
01:43:39.479 --> 01:43:43.079
<v Speaker 2>who's who's a gangbanger, but he's got he's got an

1544
01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:46.199
<v Speaker 2>expensive lawyer saying how he shouldn't be in that prison.

1545
01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:50.279
<v Speaker 2>In El Salvador seven fifty five Dan Carrol for Brian Thomas,

1546
01:43:50.279 --> 01:43:57.560
<v Speaker 2>fifty five kr SE the talk station, all right, fifty

1547
01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:00.520
<v Speaker 2>five KRC the talk station eight or nine. We finally

1548
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:02.880
<v Speaker 2>have our act together and Daniel Turner is joining us

1549
01:44:02.920 --> 01:44:06.239
<v Speaker 2>now from Power the Future and Daniel Turner, I saw

1550
01:44:06.239 --> 01:44:08.039
<v Speaker 2>where you were on a podcast the other day with

1551
01:44:08.399 --> 01:44:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Don Junior. How about that.

1552
01:44:11.760 --> 01:44:14.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was a great chance to talk to him

1553
01:44:14.199 --> 01:44:17.840
<v Speaker 4>and his pretty big audience about these energy issues. And

1554
01:44:17.880 --> 01:44:21.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm always grateful to be on any program, especially yours,

1555
01:44:21.600 --> 01:44:24.800
<v Speaker 4>who's one of my favorite. You know, talk about these issues.

1556
01:44:25.079 --> 01:44:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know when you're you know when you're I mean,

1557
01:44:27.199 --> 01:44:30.159
<v Speaker 2>because look, I see you on Fox News all the time. Yeah,

1558
01:44:30.199 --> 01:44:33.439
<v Speaker 2>you're on Fox Business News and the fact that you

1559
01:44:33.520 --> 01:44:35.840
<v Speaker 2>carve out sometime for little old Dan Carroll here in

1560
01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati is a big deal to me. So I appreciate you, brother.

1561
01:44:40.560 --> 01:44:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, I love being on and you know, these are

1562
01:44:42.640 --> 01:44:46.439
<v Speaker 4>important things and they deserve they deserve our attention. And

1563
01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:49.760
<v Speaker 4>a lot of times we spend much of our media

1564
01:44:49.840 --> 01:44:54.279
<v Speaker 4>hours talking on just nonsense, when the big issues that

1565
01:44:54.439 --> 01:44:58.159
<v Speaker 4>matter to people's lives and livelihoods just get glossed over

1566
01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:00.439
<v Speaker 4>or just told, you know, have this just the way

1567
01:45:00.439 --> 01:45:03.119
<v Speaker 4>it is. Take yesterday, text day. Yeah, when was the

1568
01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:06.520
<v Speaker 4>last time we've had a serious conversation about taxes? President

1569
01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Trump's tried to talk about it, but he gets glossed

1570
01:45:08.800 --> 01:45:12.680
<v Speaker 4>over because the media wants to talk about trans athletes,

1571
01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:15.159
<v Speaker 4>so they want to talk about you know, those are

1572
01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:17.720
<v Speaker 4>important issues, don't get me wrong, But for the most

1573
01:45:17.760 --> 01:45:20.520
<v Speaker 4>Americans would much rather talk about a fair tax code

1574
01:45:20.960 --> 01:45:26.119
<v Speaker 4>than the ongoing saga of the trans community.

1575
01:45:26.399 --> 01:45:29.439
<v Speaker 2>But Daniel Turner, far be it from me to call

1576
01:45:29.479 --> 01:45:32.439
<v Speaker 2>you uninformed. But apparently you didn't listen to the Joe

1577
01:45:32.439 --> 01:45:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Biden speech last night because he said the truth about taxes.

1578
01:45:36.920 --> 01:45:40.119
<v Speaker 2>He talked about how Donald Trump wants to cut taxes

1579
01:45:40.159 --> 01:45:43.279
<v Speaker 2>so he can give tax breaks to his billionaire friends.

1580
01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:46.399
<v Speaker 2>That's what Joe Biden said yesterday. And I think that's

1581
01:45:46.439 --> 01:45:48.680
<v Speaker 2>an important message for the country, don't you.

1582
01:45:49.279 --> 01:45:54.640
<v Speaker 4>It's the most boring talking point that Democrats have said

1583
01:45:54.760 --> 01:45:57.840
<v Speaker 4>for all of my fifty years on this earth.

1584
01:45:58.039 --> 01:46:01.640
<v Speaker 2>And it doesn't make any ense. Oh they they that

1585
01:46:01.680 --> 01:46:03.000
<v Speaker 2>playbook never changes.

1586
01:46:04.000 --> 01:46:07.840
<v Speaker 4>It's completely nonsensical and and but and it's just it's

1587
01:46:07.920 --> 01:46:10.560
<v Speaker 4>just boring rhetoric. You know, they want to cut your

1588
01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:14.159
<v Speaker 4>taxes so they can give their billionaire friends a tax

1589
01:46:14.319 --> 01:46:17.399
<v Speaker 4>credit or tax break. And no one really knows what

1590
01:46:17.439 --> 01:46:20.199
<v Speaker 4>that what that means. Even you know that the same

1591
01:46:20.199 --> 01:46:22.680
<v Speaker 4>people who are saying that Elon Musk is rating social

1592
01:46:22.680 --> 01:46:25.720
<v Speaker 4>security so that he can keep it for himself. And

1593
01:46:26.520 --> 01:46:28.359
<v Speaker 4>you scratch your head and say, like, this is the

1594
01:46:28.399 --> 01:46:30.880
<v Speaker 4>best you have, This is the best you can offer. So,

1595
01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:34.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's unsurprising the Democrats don't have a winning

1596
01:46:34.159 --> 01:46:37.920
<v Speaker 4>message on anything, because that's why they've lost their last

1597
01:46:38.239 --> 01:46:41.000
<v Speaker 4>couple of elections and why they continue to be pouring

1598
01:46:41.079 --> 01:46:43.439
<v Speaker 4>so poorly. You know, they can bash President Trump all

1599
01:46:43.479 --> 01:46:47.640
<v Speaker 4>they want for whatever his tax proposals are, but boy,

1600
01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:50.520
<v Speaker 4>they have to do some internal reckoning because they're they're

1601
01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:54.359
<v Speaker 4>trending a little bit lower than than than explosive diarrhea

1602
01:46:54.439 --> 01:46:57.119
<v Speaker 4>right now. So they have a lot of problems as

1603
01:46:57.239 --> 01:46:59.439
<v Speaker 4>a party.

1604
01:46:59.000 --> 01:47:02.640
<v Speaker 2>On Barney Sanders out there at Coachella talking about environmental

1605
01:47:02.840 --> 01:47:06.640
<v Speaker 2>justice and social justice and racial justice and all this.

1606
01:47:06.880 --> 01:47:09.319
<v Speaker 2>But the the the a little bit of a scary

1607
01:47:09.359 --> 01:47:11.600
<v Speaker 2>part of that is, you know, he's paleling around with

1608
01:47:11.880 --> 01:47:15.640
<v Speaker 2>a Casio Cortez right now, and she's she's raised like

1609
01:47:15.760 --> 01:47:19.560
<v Speaker 2>nine million dollars so far, and I guess she's gonna run,

1610
01:47:19.640 --> 01:47:23.159
<v Speaker 2>as you know, and try to you know, bump up

1611
01:47:23.479 --> 01:47:27.840
<v Speaker 2>or bump out Chuck Schumer. But the fact that that

1612
01:47:27.920 --> 01:47:31.960
<v Speaker 2>she I'm frankly a little surprised that Acasio Cortez is

1613
01:47:32.000 --> 01:47:36.479
<v Speaker 2>able to to raise that kind of money right now, yeah.

1614
01:47:36.439 --> 01:47:39.039
<v Speaker 4>You know. And and the Bernie rallies just just going

1615
01:47:39.079 --> 01:47:43.800
<v Speaker 4>on that first, They for me are everything that encapsulates

1616
01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:48.199
<v Speaker 4>the life and the service to this nation of Bernie Sanders,

1617
01:47:48.279 --> 01:47:51.560
<v Speaker 4>which is is really Macbeth right, it is. It is

1618
01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:56.279
<v Speaker 4>full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Bernie Sanders is

1619
01:47:56.319 --> 01:47:58.840
<v Speaker 4>doing these rallies at a time that they are absolutely

1620
01:47:58.880 --> 01:48:03.680
<v Speaker 4>meaninglessening concert Quinchel. When he had the chance to affect change,

1621
01:48:04.359 --> 01:48:07.119
<v Speaker 4>Bernie took the buyout and dropped out of the presidential

1622
01:48:07.199 --> 01:48:09.439
<v Speaker 4>race because they offered him a lot of money and

1623
01:48:09.520 --> 01:48:12.880
<v Speaker 4>he disappeared and he bought more houses with it. So

1624
01:48:13.039 --> 01:48:18.319
<v Speaker 4>during these rallies, now what end? They make Bernie feel good? Right,

1625
01:48:18.359 --> 01:48:20.560
<v Speaker 4>They make Bernie feel good the way some idiot lighting

1626
01:48:20.560 --> 01:48:23.600
<v Speaker 4>at Tesla on fire makes him feel good. But they

1627
01:48:23.640 --> 01:48:26.239
<v Speaker 4>really are for someone who says that he wants to

1628
01:48:26.520 --> 01:48:29.039
<v Speaker 4>be in charge and he wants the reigns of powers,

1629
01:48:29.239 --> 01:48:32.039
<v Speaker 4>he really doesn't. He just wants to make noise. So

1630
01:48:32.439 --> 01:48:35.640
<v Speaker 4>the Bernie rallies for me right now are absolutely emblematic

1631
01:48:35.680 --> 01:48:41.560
<v Speaker 4>of forty years of Bernie Sanders babbling about absolutely nothing

1632
01:48:41.920 --> 01:48:46.760
<v Speaker 4>with no consequence. He's never authored significant legislation, he's never

1633
01:48:46.800 --> 01:48:49.760
<v Speaker 4>held a significant hearing. The things he can do as

1634
01:48:49.800 --> 01:48:53.000
<v Speaker 4>a senator, and senators have a lot of power, He's

1635
01:48:53.079 --> 01:48:56.479
<v Speaker 4>done nothing. All he does is make noise. So I

1636
01:48:56.520 --> 01:49:00.479
<v Speaker 4>am just so sick and tired of the Bernie's AOC.

1637
01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:04.039
<v Speaker 4>You know, she's a force to be reckoned with. It

1638
01:49:04.079 --> 01:49:07.359
<v Speaker 4>doesn't surprise me that she draws a crowd, she's an

1639
01:49:07.399 --> 01:49:11.199
<v Speaker 4>inflammatory speaker, et cetera, et cetera. I will go on

1640
01:49:11.279 --> 01:49:14.439
<v Speaker 4>record confidently saying there is no way in hell she

1641
01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:17.239
<v Speaker 4>is going to beat Chuck Schumer in New York City

1642
01:49:17.319 --> 01:49:20.239
<v Speaker 4>and New York Chuck Schumer has been in New York

1643
01:49:20.279 --> 01:49:23.239
<v Speaker 4>politics longer than I've been alive. And I was born

1644
01:49:23.279 --> 01:49:27.039
<v Speaker 4>in seventy four. Chuck Schumer has been an elected official

1645
01:49:27.159 --> 01:49:30.199
<v Speaker 4>longer than I have been alive. He is not giving

1646
01:49:30.239 --> 01:49:33.920
<v Speaker 4>up his seat to absolutely anyone, let alone someone he

1647
01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:35.520
<v Speaker 4>has very little respect for.

1648
01:49:35.720 --> 01:49:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely. And then I played the sound bite from

1649
01:49:39.079 --> 01:49:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Bernie Sanders a little while ago, and he's talking about,

1650
01:49:42.399 --> 01:49:45.800
<v Speaker 2>you know that they have to do something about global warming,

1651
01:49:45.920 --> 01:49:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know, says Donald Trump thinks that climate change

1652
01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:51.279
<v Speaker 2>is a hoax, And you know, we got to do

1653
01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:54.399
<v Speaker 2>something about the fossil fuel industry, and he would not

1654
01:49:54.479 --> 01:49:56.720
<v Speaker 2>be able to go to Coachella, he would not be

1655
01:49:56.720 --> 01:49:59.359
<v Speaker 2>able to make that speech, and those people would not

1656
01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:02.159
<v Speaker 2>be able to end that event at eight hundred bucks

1657
01:50:02.159 --> 01:50:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a pop were it not for the fossil fuel industry.

1658
01:50:05.039 --> 01:50:08.119
<v Speaker 2>And it's you know, it's so, it's so I think

1659
01:50:09.079 --> 01:50:12.119
<v Speaker 2>entertaining to listen to these people rail against the fossil

1660
01:50:12.119 --> 01:50:15.319
<v Speaker 2>fuel industry, but you know, none of the things that

1661
01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:17.479
<v Speaker 2>they are able to do, you know, Bernie fly in

1662
01:50:17.560 --> 01:50:20.560
<v Speaker 2>first class all over the country would exist but for

1663
01:50:20.680 --> 01:50:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the fossil fuel industry.

1664
01:50:23.239 --> 01:50:26.119
<v Speaker 4>It's a great point, and it's why we celebrate this

1665
01:50:26.199 --> 01:50:28.600
<v Speaker 4>industry and fight really hard for it, and of course

1666
01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:31.119
<v Speaker 4>the millions of men and women who work directly in

1667
01:50:31.199 --> 01:50:34.800
<v Speaker 4>the industry, but also the quality of life it provides

1668
01:50:35.199 --> 01:50:39.520
<v Speaker 4>the American people. And it's Joe Biden's administration is proof

1669
01:50:39.960 --> 01:50:43.000
<v Speaker 4>that if you tinker with this industry, you will not

1670
01:50:43.199 --> 01:50:46.479
<v Speaker 4>have the same quality of life at the same price point.

1671
01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Joe Biden tinkered right, and he put in green mandates,

1672
01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:52.439
<v Speaker 4>and he stopped the drilling permits, and he cut off

1673
01:50:52.560 --> 01:50:55.800
<v Speaker 4>land access, and he made it impossible really for the

1674
01:50:55.800 --> 01:50:59.560
<v Speaker 4>fossil fuel industry to operate at its at what was

1675
01:50:59.600 --> 01:51:03.319
<v Speaker 4>its car pace in twenty twenty one, and where did

1676
01:51:03.319 --> 01:51:05.840
<v Speaker 4>we end up after four years? Everything was thirty percent

1677
01:51:05.920 --> 01:51:09.520
<v Speaker 4>more expensive. We talk about brownouts and blackouts. We made

1678
01:51:09.560 --> 01:51:12.319
<v Speaker 4>our enemies obviously a heck of a lot richer Russia

1679
01:51:12.359 --> 01:51:17.840
<v Speaker 4>and Iran, China as well. So it's this is an

1680
01:51:17.840 --> 01:51:20.800
<v Speaker 4>industry that if you want to maintain where you are

1681
01:51:20.920 --> 01:51:24.119
<v Speaker 4>as an American at this price point, then you have

1682
01:51:24.199 --> 01:51:28.039
<v Speaker 4>to let it flourish. And they hide behind the climate change,

1683
01:51:28.079 --> 01:51:31.720
<v Speaker 4>the global warming again, the fear mongering for all of

1684
01:51:31.760 --> 01:51:33.680
<v Speaker 4>our life as well. And you know, you can go

1685
01:51:33.720 --> 01:51:36.600
<v Speaker 4>back to the early eighties and nineties and see Bernie

1686
01:51:36.600 --> 01:51:40.159
<v Speaker 4>talking about how the end is nigh from climate You know,

1687
01:51:40.439 --> 01:51:42.760
<v Speaker 4>you just get so tired of hearing this crap year

1688
01:51:42.840 --> 01:51:44.920
<v Speaker 4>after year. This is it, We're all going to die

1689
01:51:45.000 --> 01:51:49.439
<v Speaker 4>from climate change. Gore has been saying this for thirty years.

1690
01:51:50.479 --> 01:51:51.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, all of them live in.

1691
01:51:51.760 --> 01:51:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Mansions, they'll fly around the world on private jets, and

1692
01:51:55.479 --> 01:51:59.520
<v Speaker 4>it's just a gigantic racket. The entire climate movement is

1693
01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:01.039
<v Speaker 4>just one gigantic wye.

1694
01:52:02.520 --> 01:52:05.840
<v Speaker 2>China has decided that they want to stop shipping out

1695
01:52:06.359 --> 01:52:09.479
<v Speaker 2>rare earth minerals. And I look, I look at this,

1696
01:52:09.680 --> 01:52:11.760
<v Speaker 2>and and and maybe they I don't know if they

1697
01:52:11.760 --> 01:52:14.159
<v Speaker 2>think this is their ace up the sleeve. But when

1698
01:52:14.159 --> 01:52:17.640
<v Speaker 2>it comes to rare earth minerals, it seems to me

1699
01:52:17.800 --> 01:52:22.079
<v Speaker 2>that America has an abundance of rare earth minerals. America

1700
01:52:22.119 --> 01:52:24.479
<v Speaker 2>digs up plenty of rare earth minerals. But when it

1701
01:52:24.520 --> 01:52:28.439
<v Speaker 2>comes to refining rare earth minerals and and you know,

1702
01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:31.840
<v Speaker 2>turning them into useful products, that is where we fall

1703
01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:34.600
<v Speaker 2>a little bit short, and maybe a lot short on

1704
01:52:34.720 --> 01:52:36.720
<v Speaker 2>rare earth minerals. And I guess we haven't had the

1705
01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:40.920
<v Speaker 2>political will because of the environmental lobby, to to build

1706
01:52:40.960 --> 01:52:45.159
<v Speaker 2>these facilities that can refine these materials and make them useful.

1707
01:52:46.600 --> 01:52:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I was reading a piece a day or so ago

1708
01:52:49.079 --> 01:52:53.199
<v Speaker 2>talking about how that really could be changed in short order.

1709
01:52:53.439 --> 01:52:55.399
<v Speaker 2>And and rare earth minerals are you know, they're the

1710
01:52:55.439 --> 01:52:58.239
<v Speaker 2>flavor of the month right now. And if if the

1711
01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:00.720
<v Speaker 2>United States gets its act to get on that end

1712
01:53:00.800 --> 01:53:03.479
<v Speaker 2>of the deal, I don't know how China really has

1713
01:53:03.720 --> 01:53:06.640
<v Speaker 2>that much more to hold over us to you.

1714
01:53:06.680 --> 01:53:09.920
<v Speaker 4>No, And it's really important. Again, these are the issues

1715
01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:12.359
<v Speaker 4>we talked about at the beginning where I said, these

1716
01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:15.560
<v Speaker 4>are the things that matter that we gloss over because

1717
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:20.960
<v Speaker 4>we talk about what's titillating. Rare earth are not necessarily

1718
01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:23.239
<v Speaker 4>an exciting talking point, but we couldn't be having this

1719
01:53:23.319 --> 01:53:27.039
<v Speaker 4>conversation without rare earth's and you're absolutely right, we have

1720
01:53:27.199 --> 01:53:29.680
<v Speaker 4>them in abundance here in America. And just for your

1721
01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:32.560
<v Speaker 4>reader's edification and care you listeners edification, I guess they

1722
01:53:32.600 --> 01:53:35.439
<v Speaker 4>don't know they're only cold rare earth, not because they

1723
01:53:35.479 --> 01:53:39.479
<v Speaker 4>themselves are rare, but because they're found in trace amounts

1724
01:53:39.479 --> 01:53:42.000
<v Speaker 4>when you do other type of mining. Right, So you

1725
01:53:42.000 --> 01:53:44.920
<v Speaker 4>don't mind for rare earth, you mind for gold, ors inc,

1726
01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:49.199
<v Speaker 4>or copper or lithium, And in that mining process, what

1727
01:53:49.399 --> 01:53:52.600
<v Speaker 4>is extracted or trace amounts of these other I believe

1728
01:53:52.800 --> 01:53:58.600
<v Speaker 4>nineteen elements that are essential for technology, for military weaponry,

1729
01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:04.279
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. Dean Paing fifty years ago said, you know

1730
01:54:04.319 --> 01:54:07.640
<v Speaker 4>the world, the West has oil, but China has rare earths.

1731
01:54:07.880 --> 01:54:10.560
<v Speaker 4>And he predicted this, and he knew they were going

1732
01:54:10.600 --> 01:54:13.479
<v Speaker 4>to capitalize on it. And far be it from me

1733
01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:16.840
<v Speaker 4>from being an awful Christian. But I was the other

1734
01:54:16.920 --> 01:54:20.159
<v Speaker 4>day on social media and I called out the dead

1735
01:54:20.239 --> 01:54:26.319
<v Speaker 4>senator Dianne Feinstein and reminded the American people that as Senator,

1736
01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:30.279
<v Speaker 4>she led the charge to stop rare earth mining in

1737
01:54:30.359 --> 01:54:34.119
<v Speaker 4>the United States because of course climate change. Diane Feinstein

1738
01:54:34.159 --> 01:54:38.000
<v Speaker 4>also had a Chinese spy on her stats for twenty years,

1739
01:54:38.560 --> 01:54:41.079
<v Speaker 4>and she's at her death was worth around one hundred

1740
01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:44.920
<v Speaker 4>million dollars. So Diane Feinstein may have escaped the I

1741
01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:47.560
<v Speaker 4>think jail, which would have been appropriate for someone who

1742
01:54:47.560 --> 01:54:50.920
<v Speaker 4>betrayed her country. Maybe she will not escape God's judgment

1743
01:54:51.000 --> 01:54:54.399
<v Speaker 4>for what she did. But people like Diane Feinstein led

1744
01:54:54.439 --> 01:54:58.920
<v Speaker 4>the charge to stop rare earth mining refining here in America.

1745
01:54:59.000 --> 01:55:02.199
<v Speaker 4>They hid behind CLI time a change, but somehow they

1746
01:55:02.239 --> 01:55:06.039
<v Speaker 4>became very rich in the process, and our number one enemy,

1747
01:55:06.119 --> 01:55:09.319
<v Speaker 4>China benefited as a result. I think that's the type

1748
01:55:09.359 --> 01:55:12.000
<v Speaker 4>of investigation that I would like to see more of

1749
01:55:12.079 --> 01:55:13.760
<v Speaker 4>by this current Department of Justice.

1750
01:55:13.880 --> 01:55:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, Daniel Turner. One of the things I

1751
01:55:16.399 --> 01:55:20.119
<v Speaker 2>found interesting over the weekend, and it is a narrative

1752
01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:22.560
<v Speaker 2>that was trying to be spun by the left and

1753
01:55:22.720 --> 01:55:26.039
<v Speaker 2>by the media, is that if Donald Trump is able

1754
01:55:26.079 --> 01:55:31.840
<v Speaker 2>to bring a renaissance in manufacturing back to the United States,

1755
01:55:31.520 --> 01:55:34.920
<v Speaker 2>that the jobs that will come along with that are

1756
01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:38.560
<v Speaker 2>simply jobs where you know, people will have to live

1757
01:55:38.600 --> 01:55:43.279
<v Speaker 2>in the drudgery of a factory work style, a factory life.

1758
01:55:43.520 --> 01:55:45.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're going to go and we're going to

1759
01:55:45.119 --> 01:55:48.000
<v Speaker 2>make iPhones. John Carl said, what are we going to do?

1760
01:55:48.119 --> 01:55:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Become a nation of cobblers and make Nike shoes. So

1761
01:55:53.239 --> 01:55:56.720
<v Speaker 2>here's the Democrat Party and those on the left who

1762
01:55:56.840 --> 01:55:59.640
<v Speaker 2>for decades have told us that, you know, it's it's

1763
01:55:59.680 --> 01:56:04.119
<v Speaker 2>concerned servatives and Republicans who denigrate work, who look down

1764
01:56:04.520 --> 01:56:07.359
<v Speaker 2>upon those. But here they are saying that the types

1765
01:56:07.399 --> 01:56:10.720
<v Speaker 2>of jobs that Donald Trump wants to bring back are really,

1766
01:56:11.119 --> 01:56:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, jobs that are for other people, and the

1767
01:56:14.600 --> 01:56:17.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're sort of beneath the dignity of Americans

1768
01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:18.840
<v Speaker 2>to go to work in places like this.

1769
01:56:19.960 --> 01:56:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, imagine reducing the whole of American manufacturing to menial

1770
01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:28.319
<v Speaker 4>labor like that. And you know what, Sadly, a lot

1771
01:56:28.319 --> 01:56:32.800
<v Speaker 4>of libertarians also have taken this this this angle, and

1772
01:56:32.840 --> 01:56:36.159
<v Speaker 4>I've seen a number of articles and social media posts

1773
01:56:36.279 --> 01:56:40.039
<v Speaker 4>and talking heads on TV that say, you know, we

1774
01:56:40.039 --> 01:56:44.760
<v Speaker 4>should not return to a country of people sewing sneakers together.

1775
01:56:44.920 --> 01:56:48.520
<v Speaker 4>And I think that is just beyond insulting and myopic

1776
01:56:48.760 --> 01:56:52.520
<v Speaker 4>and really degrading. To put all of manufacturing and the

1777
01:56:52.640 --> 01:56:57.359
<v Speaker 4>millions of factories across America that just five, ten, fifteen

1778
01:56:57.439 --> 01:57:00.880
<v Speaker 4>years ago had started to have continue need to disappear.

1779
01:57:01.399 --> 01:57:06.159
<v Speaker 4>To reduce all of American manufacturing to menial toiling labor

1780
01:57:06.760 --> 01:57:10.479
<v Speaker 4>is embarrassing. But you know what, even if that is

1781
01:57:10.520 --> 01:57:14.039
<v Speaker 4>absolutely right, what the hell do you care if someone

1782
01:57:14.119 --> 01:57:17.479
<v Speaker 4>is happy to work eight hours in a factory putting

1783
01:57:17.520 --> 01:57:21.079
<v Speaker 4>widget A on widget B, if they get paid a

1784
01:57:21.079 --> 01:57:24.239
<v Speaker 4>fair wage, if they can support their family, if they

1785
01:57:24.239 --> 01:57:27.359
<v Speaker 4>can build their community they want to live in their

1786
01:57:27.439 --> 01:57:31.600
<v Speaker 4>little small town outside of Akron, Ohio or whatever other

1787
01:57:31.720 --> 01:57:35.479
<v Speaker 4>rust belts, What the hell do you cool? This is

1788
01:57:35.520 --> 01:57:39.079
<v Speaker 4>that class of angels who think they have the right

1789
01:57:39.159 --> 01:57:41.560
<v Speaker 4>to order society. Who the hell do you think you

1790
01:57:41.680 --> 01:57:45.399
<v Speaker 4>are to determine what other people's labor should be. And

1791
01:57:45.479 --> 01:57:48.159
<v Speaker 4>in that process of saying I am going to save

1792
01:57:48.239 --> 01:57:51.359
<v Speaker 4>you from the menial task and give you a grand,

1793
01:57:51.479 --> 01:57:54.920
<v Speaker 4>glorious job in the new green economy or in the

1794
01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:58.239
<v Speaker 4>tech world, all you've done is taken away their livelihood

1795
01:57:58.279 --> 01:58:01.560
<v Speaker 4>and plunge them into poverty. Green jobs never came, the

1796
01:58:01.640 --> 01:58:04.399
<v Speaker 4>text jobs never came. The few tech jobs we have

1797
01:58:04.680 --> 01:58:07.479
<v Speaker 4>We'd rather have h one b visas from India and

1798
01:58:07.560 --> 01:58:10.600
<v Speaker 4>fill them with those jobs. So I just find that line.

1799
01:58:11.079 --> 01:58:13.600
<v Speaker 4>We can hear the anger in my voice. This is

1800
01:58:13.640 --> 01:58:17.760
<v Speaker 4>the disdain that our elite have for regular working class Americans,

1801
01:58:17.760 --> 01:58:20.239
<v Speaker 4>and our elite are some of the worst people in

1802
01:58:20.239 --> 01:58:23.319
<v Speaker 4>this country. And Bernie Sanders is an absolute elite, right,

1803
01:58:23.399 --> 01:58:27.079
<v Speaker 4>John Kerry is an elite, and yet the multi billionaires

1804
01:58:27.159 --> 01:58:30.439
<v Speaker 4>who are in this administration, Donald Trump and Elon Musk

1805
01:58:30.880 --> 01:58:34.600
<v Speaker 4>are not. And I find that absolutely marveling that these

1806
01:58:34.640 --> 01:58:38.800
<v Speaker 4>people who are rich and wealthy and with gold accents

1807
01:58:38.840 --> 01:58:42.520
<v Speaker 4>and the Oval Office, yet have more respect for the

1808
01:58:42.560 --> 01:58:45.439
<v Speaker 4>working class than any president I've seen in my lifetime.

1809
01:58:45.640 --> 01:58:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Thomas Soul refers to these people as the as

1810
01:58:48.520 --> 01:58:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the anointed, and it really will, you know, when they

1811
01:58:50.920 --> 01:58:54.039
<v Speaker 2>make comments like this, it really is revealing of the

1812
01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the arrogance and the condescension that they have towards the

1813
01:58:57.680 --> 01:59:01.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, the the rank and file of the American people.

1814
01:59:02.159 --> 01:59:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Before we let you go, Daniel Turner, this thing with

1815
01:59:04.279 --> 01:59:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Harvard looks like it's getting serious. Trump says he's going

1816
01:59:07.000 --> 01:59:10.520
<v Speaker 2>to freeze two point three billion dollars in funding for Harvard,

1817
01:59:10.880 --> 01:59:15.880
<v Speaker 2>and why on earth does Harvard need two point three

1818
01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:19.920
<v Speaker 2>billion of our taxpayer dollars when they have an endowment

1819
01:59:20.159 --> 01:59:23.119
<v Speaker 2>that is fifty three or fifty four billion dollars. Why

1820
01:59:23.159 --> 01:59:26.159
<v Speaker 2>does Harvard need want penny from the American taxpayer.

1821
01:59:27.159 --> 01:59:29.800
<v Speaker 4>No more research grants, as far as I'm concerned, No

1822
01:59:29.840 --> 01:59:32.800
<v Speaker 4>more research grants, No more pell grams. You are not

1823
01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:36.079
<v Speaker 4>going to charge ninety thousand dollars a year and then

1824
01:59:36.119 --> 01:59:39.039
<v Speaker 4>tell some student that take out a government loan to

1825
01:59:39.119 --> 01:59:41.560
<v Speaker 4>pay for it. No more grants, you know what. No

1826
01:59:41.640 --> 01:59:45.359
<v Speaker 4>more foreign visas. Why why should we be giving you know,

1827
01:59:45.399 --> 01:59:48.800
<v Speaker 4>a couple hundred spots to people from communist China or

1828
01:59:48.840 --> 01:59:51.279
<v Speaker 4>from other countries to go study at Harvard on the

1829
01:59:51.279 --> 01:59:54.720
<v Speaker 4>American taxpayer's dime. Would I would put the screws to

1830
01:59:54.800 --> 01:59:58.279
<v Speaker 4>Harvard again? These these elites, these anointed as you said,

1831
01:59:58.279 --> 02:00:01.720
<v Speaker 4>that great quote from Thomas Soul, these universities do an

1832
02:00:01.760 --> 02:00:04.239
<v Speaker 4>awful lot of damage because they think they are above

1833
02:00:04.680 --> 02:00:07.880
<v Speaker 4>the American people, that think they are above the American ethos.

1834
02:00:08.239 --> 02:00:11.520
<v Speaker 4>And you know, they gleefully want to persecute Jewish students

1835
02:00:11.720 --> 02:00:13.960
<v Speaker 4>and they want to think that's okay, and they want

1836
02:00:14.000 --> 02:00:17.439
<v Speaker 4>to think it's okay that hamas sympathizers are allowed to

1837
02:00:17.520 --> 02:00:21.840
<v Speaker 4>lock down buildings and scare the crap out of Jewish students,

1838
02:00:21.960 --> 02:00:24.479
<v Speaker 4>or they think it's okay that some guy decides to

1839
02:00:24.520 --> 02:00:27.000
<v Speaker 4>put on a skirt and say, look now I'm on

1840
02:00:27.039 --> 02:00:29.479
<v Speaker 4>the field on the girls field hockey team and beat

1841
02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:32.560
<v Speaker 4>the crap out of female athletes. If Harvard wants to

1842
02:00:32.560 --> 02:00:35.439
<v Speaker 4>play that role, they can absolutely, but I would make

1843
02:00:35.479 --> 02:00:39.520
<v Speaker 4>their life miserable. I'm at this stage that people worried

1844
02:00:39.880 --> 02:00:42.359
<v Speaker 4>Donald Trump would be, which he hasn't be, and I

1845
02:00:42.359 --> 02:00:45.000
<v Speaker 4>don't think he ever will. I am at the stage

1846
02:00:45.000 --> 02:00:48.640
<v Speaker 4>of absolute unleashing the Kraken. I want revenge on all

1847
02:00:48.680 --> 02:00:52.079
<v Speaker 4>of these awful people, these awful institutions that have done

1848
02:00:52.279 --> 02:00:57.319
<v Speaker 4>tremendous damage, and places like Harvard and people like John Kerry.

1849
02:00:57.640 --> 02:01:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Their come up and has arrived, and I hope they

1850
02:01:03.079 --> 02:01:06.880
<v Speaker 4>go hard on Harvard and other universities that continue to

1851
02:01:07.039 --> 02:01:10.640
<v Speaker 4>foment unrest in our country. Remember there is a quote

1852
02:01:10.640 --> 02:01:14.880
<v Speaker 4>in the Constitution aligning the Constitution about the president's responsibility

1853
02:01:14.960 --> 02:01:19.560
<v Speaker 4>of preserving domestic tranquility, and this is his job. Harvard

1854
02:01:19.640 --> 02:01:22.800
<v Speaker 4>is fomenting the opposite, and it is the President's job

1855
02:01:22.880 --> 02:01:25.399
<v Speaker 4>to kick these people out of the country and kick

1856
02:01:25.439 --> 02:01:27.640
<v Speaker 4>those people out of the school if they're going to

1857
02:01:27.680 --> 02:01:31.680
<v Speaker 4>continue to make cause civil strife and unrest.

1858
02:01:31.960 --> 02:01:34.399
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, Daniel Turner, we got to run. But

1859
02:01:34.520 --> 02:01:36.600
<v Speaker 2>as always, it's great to have you on. I'll direct

1860
02:01:36.640 --> 02:01:39.720
<v Speaker 2>people to town hall dot com where you have a column

1861
02:01:39.800 --> 02:01:43.279
<v Speaker 2>up there right now, meet the Coletown the Democrats destroyed,

1862
02:01:43.319 --> 02:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and you've got some quotes from Joe Burrow in there.

1863
02:01:46.439 --> 02:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know, people love reading about our quarterback here

1864
02:01:49.000 --> 02:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>in Cincinnati. So Daniel Turner, always great to have you on,

1865
02:01:52.000 --> 02:01:54.399
<v Speaker 2>and I will certainly look forward to the next time

1866
02:01:54.439 --> 02:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>we get a chance to talk again.

1867
02:01:56.560 --> 02:01:58.319
<v Speaker 4>Always a pleasure day, and thank you so much.

1868

1872
02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to thank Daniel Turner for being here. Always loved talking

1873
02:02:23.960 --> 02:02:26.239
<v Speaker 2>to that guy. I always enjoy having this guy on too.

1876
02:02:33.359 --> 02:02:36.239
<v Speaker 2>and Ken Kober, thanks for being here. Always appreciate your time.

1877
02:02:36.279 --> 02:02:36.479
<v Speaker 4>Sir.

1878
02:02:37.439 --> 02:02:38.920
<v Speaker 14>Hey, good morning, Dan, thanks for having me.

1879
02:02:39.439 --> 02:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about this case. I don't know why this

1880
02:02:42.880 --> 02:02:47.239
<v Speaker 2>case just bothers me so much, but you know, last week,

1881
02:02:47.279 --> 02:02:50.119
<v Speaker 2>on last Saturday night on short Vine, twenty five year

1882
02:02:50.159 --> 02:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>old Kyle Merrick was standing there, apparently minding his own

1883
02:02:54.680 --> 02:02:59.239
<v Speaker 2>business when he was confronted by some fifteen year old

1884
02:02:59.279 --> 02:03:02.199
<v Speaker 2>dude who. Accordingly, when you look at the video, it

1885
02:03:02.239 --> 02:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>looks like this guy, unprovoked, just pulled out a gun

1886
02:03:06.640 --> 02:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>and stuck it in the midsection of twenty five year

1887
02:03:09.840 --> 02:03:13.399
<v Speaker 2>old Kyle Merrick, who attempted to run away. Turned out

1888
02:03:13.439 --> 02:03:15.920
<v Speaker 2>he had a weapon of his own turned in fire,

1889
02:03:15.960 --> 02:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and then he in turn was shot by this fifteen

1890
02:03:18.399 --> 02:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>year old. Now he's dead, his family is in mourning,

1891
02:03:21.680 --> 02:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and Ken Kober, it certainly appears that this fifteen year

1892
02:03:24.840 --> 02:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>old had no business being on the streets whatsoever, without

1893
02:03:29.039 --> 02:03:29.359
<v Speaker 2>a doubt.

1894
02:03:29.439 --> 02:03:32.079
<v Speaker 15>I mean, it's a senseless murder that absolutely could have

1895
02:03:32.119 --> 02:03:32.760
<v Speaker 15>been prevented.

1896
02:03:34.600 --> 02:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Talk about some of the criminal history over the last

1897
02:03:37.920 --> 02:03:40.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of days has started to come to light on

1898
02:03:40.399 --> 02:03:42.359
<v Speaker 2>this guy. Can you tell us a little bit about that?

1899
02:03:43.520 --> 02:03:46.560
<v Speaker 15>Well, I mean it started at the age of thirteen thirteen,

1900
02:03:47.520 --> 02:03:52.800
<v Speaker 15>obstructing official business, running from the police. It recently escalated

1901
02:03:52.840 --> 02:03:56.840
<v Speaker 15>in November two and aggravated assault that was involved with

1902
02:03:56.920 --> 02:04:00.840
<v Speaker 15>the shooting, improper or improper transferation to believe of a

1903
02:04:00.880 --> 02:04:05.239
<v Speaker 15>firearm and then discharging a firearm into a habitation.

1904
02:04:06.119 --> 02:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the case that he should have.

1905
02:04:07.920 --> 02:04:08.720
<v Speaker 14>Been held for.

1906
02:04:09.600 --> 02:04:14.279
<v Speaker 15>And unfortunately, on April second was released from EMU. They

1907
02:04:14.279 --> 02:04:17.000
<v Speaker 15>had already let him out of detention, but they put

1908
02:04:17.079 --> 02:04:19.159
<v Speaker 15>him on EMU and they even released him from that

1909
02:04:19.279 --> 02:04:20.119
<v Speaker 15>on April second.

1910
02:04:20.439 --> 02:04:22.600
<v Speaker 14>And then here's Saturday. We have a tragedy. I mean,

1911
02:04:22.640 --> 02:04:24.159
<v Speaker 14>this is not really a surprise.

1912
02:04:24.279 --> 02:04:28.239
<v Speaker 15>This is I mean the very the basis of things

1913
02:04:28.279 --> 02:04:30.760
<v Speaker 15>that we see all the time. You little crimes that

1914
02:04:30.840 --> 02:04:32.279
<v Speaker 15>turn into big crimes real quick.

1915
02:04:33.159 --> 02:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Is it just me or does it seem like if

1916
02:04:36.039 --> 02:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>you have someone who is thirteen years old and they have,

1917
02:04:40.439 --> 02:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, have sixteen separate

1918
02:04:44.680 --> 02:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>contacts with the juvenile court system here in Hamilton County,

1919
02:04:48.840 --> 02:04:50.479
<v Speaker 2>is it just me or does that seem like a

1920
02:04:50.520 --> 02:04:53.479
<v Speaker 2>lot or is that par for the course for a

1921
02:04:53.479 --> 02:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of these kids that get involved in the juvenile system.

1922
02:04:58.800 --> 02:05:02.920
<v Speaker 15>That is certainly in excess, But you know, a lot

1923
02:05:02.920 --> 02:05:05.199
<v Speaker 15>of these things would have been prevented had there been

1924
02:05:05.279 --> 02:05:08.800
<v Speaker 15>actual consequences. I don't know on the first charge, the

1925
02:05:08.840 --> 02:05:13.119
<v Speaker 15>fifth charge, the tenth charge. It's something that there's absolutely

1926
02:05:13.199 --> 02:05:14.640
<v Speaker 15>no accountability whatsoever.

1927
02:05:14.720 --> 02:05:17.720
<v Speaker 14>So it doesn't surprise me that these kind of things

1928
02:05:17.720 --> 02:05:18.279
<v Speaker 14>are happening.

1929
02:05:18.840 --> 02:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Let me read to you a piece that I found

1930
02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:25.520
<v Speaker 2>on the WLWT website. This is from May of last year. Okay,

1931
02:05:25.920 --> 02:05:29.239
<v Speaker 2>last month, three teenagers were arrested after a woman was

1932
02:05:29.279 --> 02:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>brutally attacked on a metro bus in Colerain Township. All

1933
02:05:33.000 --> 02:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>three teenagers were released from the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention

1934
02:05:36.680 --> 02:05:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Center the same day. The same day, Juvenile Court Judge

1935
02:05:42.199 --> 02:05:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Kerry Bloom says, there's only so much the law allows

1936
02:05:45.760 --> 02:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>her to do. Quote, in juvenile court, we focus on rehabilitation,

1937
02:05:50.119 --> 02:05:53.239
<v Speaker 2>which is to include consideration of how do we make

1938
02:05:53.279 --> 02:05:57.359
<v Speaker 2>sure the kid doesn't do this again, how do we

1939
02:05:57.399 --> 02:06:01.760
<v Speaker 2>make sure we protect the community. You know, Chen Kober,

1940
02:06:01.880 --> 02:06:06.119
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing to have a judge say something like that.

1941
02:06:06.479 --> 02:06:09.840
<v Speaker 2>It is another thing when, to my way of thinking,

1942
02:06:10.199 --> 02:06:14.119
<v Speaker 2>it is well within her power and her ability to

1943
02:06:14.199 --> 02:06:17.079
<v Speaker 2>prevent these sorts of things from happening. But she doesn't

1944
02:06:17.119 --> 02:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>lift a finger to make any of that happen, simply

1945
02:06:20.600 --> 02:06:23.119
<v Speaker 2>have these kids come in and then right back out

1946
02:06:23.159 --> 02:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the revolving door. And in this case, for teenagers who

1947
02:06:27.800 --> 02:06:30.159
<v Speaker 2>beat up a woman on a metro bus, they're out

1948
02:06:30.159 --> 02:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>on the street the exact same day.

1949
02:06:33.039 --> 02:06:35.319
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean we've seen this time after time after time.

1950
02:06:35.640 --> 02:06:39.119
<v Speaker 15>You know, kids with gun charges, kids with violent selony

1951
02:06:39.159 --> 02:06:41.680
<v Speaker 15>offenses that are letting right out. We're not talking about,

1952
02:06:41.960 --> 02:06:43.560
<v Speaker 15>you know, a kid that stole a bag of chips

1953
02:06:43.560 --> 02:06:44.439
<v Speaker 15>from Kroger.

1954
02:06:44.079 --> 02:06:44.880
<v Speaker 14>Because he's hungry.

1955
02:06:45.079 --> 02:06:49.039
<v Speaker 15>We're talking about kids that are that are committing heinous,

1956
02:06:49.399 --> 02:06:52.159
<v Speaker 15>violent crimes that are endangering the community, and they're let

1957
02:06:52.239 --> 02:06:55.520
<v Speaker 15>right back out. And this, unfortunately is the end result.

1958
02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:58.159
<v Speaker 15>You know, I feel terrible for you know, the Myrak

1959
02:06:58.239 --> 02:07:00.439
<v Speaker 15>family that they have to go through this, but they're

1960
02:07:00.479 --> 02:07:01.199
<v Speaker 15>just the latest.

1961
02:07:01.720 --> 02:07:04.000
<v Speaker 14>I mean, this happens time and time again where we.

1962
02:07:03.960 --> 02:07:07.800
<v Speaker 15>Have kids that are victimizing people or they're becoming victims

1963
02:07:07.840 --> 02:07:12.000
<v Speaker 15>of gun violence themselves because the choices they make because

1964
02:07:12.000 --> 02:07:14.880
<v Speaker 15>they're let out of the juvenile court system.

1965
02:07:15.000 --> 02:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Unbelievable. Ken Kober, we got to get a quick break

1966
02:07:17.560 --> 02:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in here. Can you hang around and I got a

1967
02:07:19.000 --> 02:07:21.760
<v Speaker 2>couple more questions for you on the other side. Sure,

1968
02:07:22.039 --> 02:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>all right, Ken Kober, stay right there and we'll continue

1969
02:07:24.760 --> 02:07:30.920
<v Speaker 2>on with him on fifty five KRCV talk station. All right,

1970
02:07:30.960 --> 02:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>fifty five KRCV talk station, we continue our conversation with

1971
02:07:34.760 --> 02:07:38.119
<v Speaker 2>the FOP president, Ken Kober, and Ken Kober, you know

1972
02:07:38.159 --> 02:07:40.239
<v Speaker 2>it's not like this. This kid was on the fringes

1973
02:07:40.520 --> 02:07:45.119
<v Speaker 2>of the system. We are talking about this kid at

1974
02:07:44.720 --> 02:07:50.119
<v Speaker 2>the age of thirteen. Let's see, he was placed on probation.

1975
02:07:50.920 --> 02:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>He was let's see, he was found guilty of attempted

1976
02:07:54.359 --> 02:07:57.079
<v Speaker 2>grand theft. He was on the property of Procter and

1977
02:07:57.119 --> 02:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Gamble running from police. He was is stay at the

1978
02:08:01.800 --> 02:08:05.359
<v Speaker 2>Ohio Department of Youth Services was suspended as long as

1979
02:08:05.359 --> 02:08:07.399
<v Speaker 2>he fought. He was supposed to follow these court orders

1980
02:08:07.479 --> 02:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>until he turned twenty one, but a few months later,

1981
02:08:09.920 --> 02:08:14.359
<v Speaker 2>in November twenty four, arrested again accused of receiving stolen property.

1982
02:08:15.319 --> 02:08:19.760
<v Speaker 2>He was on probation for the previous twenty twenty three offense.

1983
02:08:20.239 --> 02:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Was in the Hamilton County juvenile system. Also in November

1984
02:08:24.000 --> 02:08:26.159
<v Speaker 2>last year, in a case that is still pending, he

1985
02:08:26.239 --> 02:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>was charged with aggravated assault while in possession of a

1986
02:08:29.000 --> 02:08:33.640
<v Speaker 2>gun and improperly discharging a firearm So here's a kid

1987
02:08:33.960 --> 02:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>that is obviously showing all sorts of signs of trouble,

1988
02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>unable to follow the rules, obviously has no parental supervision,

1989
02:08:42.920 --> 02:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and they find this guy is eligible to be released

1990
02:08:49.000 --> 02:08:55.439
<v Speaker 2>and placed on GPS monitoring. Is how many cases are

1991
02:08:55.520 --> 02:08:58.359
<v Speaker 2>like this in the juvenile system right now? Do you

1992
02:08:58.439 --> 02:08:59.039
<v Speaker 2>have any idea?

1993
02:09:00.279 --> 02:09:04.279
<v Speaker 15>Far too many. It happens every day. They're releasing kids

1994
02:09:04.319 --> 02:09:07.199
<v Speaker 15>that are involved in gun violence, They're releasing kids that

1995
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:12.560
<v Speaker 15>are just carrying weapons, stealing cars, you name it, all

1996
02:09:12.560 --> 02:09:13.920
<v Speaker 15>the violent crime that's going on.

1997
02:09:14.000 --> 02:09:15.800
<v Speaker 5>It's pretty much, unless you.

1998
02:09:15.880 --> 02:09:19.439
<v Speaker 15>Murder someone as a juvenile, you're going to be released.

1999
02:09:19.640 --> 02:09:20.920
<v Speaker 15>And that's the problem.

2000
02:09:22.159 --> 02:09:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Don't we have people that can look at this in

2001
02:09:24.359 --> 02:09:27.800
<v Speaker 2>any you know, so many times, you know, we've talked

2002
02:09:27.800 --> 02:09:31.640
<v Speaker 2>about Government Square and the bus situation down there, and

2003
02:09:31.880 --> 02:09:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I saw peace today where the arrests are down fifty

2004
02:09:34.960 --> 02:09:37.479
<v Speaker 2>percent in that area. So it seems to me that

2005
02:09:37.880 --> 02:09:40.239
<v Speaker 2>when an effort is made, a good faith effort is

2006
02:09:40.279 --> 02:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>made to turn our attention to a specific situation, we

2007
02:09:44.439 --> 02:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>can start seeing some results. But for some reason, whatever's

2008
02:09:48.560 --> 02:09:51.159
<v Speaker 2>going on in the juvenile system, and you've got these

2009
02:09:51.279 --> 02:09:55.039
<v Speaker 2>kids who are serious offenders at the age of fifteen,

2010
02:09:55.399 --> 02:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>if you're you know, involved in stolen property and discharge

2011
02:10:00.119 --> 02:10:02.479
<v Speaker 2>a firearm and things like that, that to me seems

2012
02:10:02.520 --> 02:10:05.199
<v Speaker 2>like a serious thing. But yeah, we just sort of,

2013
02:10:05.279 --> 02:10:08.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, to turn our heads at that and say, uh, yeah,

2014
02:10:08.479 --> 02:10:11.279
<v Speaker 2>put them on a GPS monitor. Does a GPS monitoring

2015
02:10:11.319 --> 02:10:14.319
<v Speaker 2>system really serve any purpose at all? Does it really

2016
02:10:14.319 --> 02:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>do any good at all?

2017
02:10:17.039 --> 02:10:19.720
<v Speaker 15>Only for those that are interested in actually following the law,

2018
02:10:19.920 --> 02:10:22.840
<v Speaker 15>because it's not something that's monitored twenty four hours a day, even.

2019
02:10:22.680 --> 02:10:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Though it's on you.

2020
02:10:23.760 --> 02:10:24.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, you don't. They don't.

2021
02:10:24.840 --> 02:10:27.319
<v Speaker 15>You don't have a probation officer sitting in a room,

2022
02:10:27.760 --> 02:10:29.960
<v Speaker 15>you know, monitoring every GPS unit.

2023
02:10:30.039 --> 02:10:31.079
<v Speaker 2>They just it's impossible.

2024
02:10:31.079 --> 02:10:33.279
<v Speaker 14>They don't. They don't have the manpower to be able

2025
02:10:33.279 --> 02:10:33.640
<v Speaker 14>to do that.

2026
02:10:34.960 --> 02:10:36.840
<v Speaker 15>It just doesn't happen to I understand that this same

2027
02:10:36.920 --> 02:10:39.600
<v Speaker 15>juvenile was actually accused of cutting off as monitor once

2028
02:10:39.640 --> 02:10:43.600
<v Speaker 15>before or as it was, so it's not surprising that

2029
02:10:43.600 --> 02:10:44.159
<v Speaker 15>that things.

2030
02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Have escalated the way they have it. So, so what's

2031
02:10:46.880 --> 02:10:49.640
<v Speaker 2>the issue is it the people who make the decisions

2032
02:10:49.680 --> 02:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>are is there not enough manpower to follow up on

2033
02:10:53.680 --> 02:10:56.199
<v Speaker 2>the If it seems to me, if someone cuts off

2034
02:10:56.239 --> 02:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>a monitoring device that should be uh you know that

2035
02:10:59.760 --> 02:11:02.800
<v Speaker 2>that that should be cause to have I don't know,

2036
02:11:02.840 --> 02:11:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a probation officer, someone from the court, may you know,

2037
02:11:05.920 --> 02:11:07.880
<v Speaker 2>make a visit to that individual and find out what's

2038
02:11:07.880 --> 02:11:09.840
<v Speaker 2>going on. Are are we not able to do those

2039
02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:10.439
<v Speaker 2>sorts of things.

2040
02:11:11.319 --> 02:11:13.840
<v Speaker 15>Well, ISSU is not not finding these kids and arresting

2041
02:11:13.880 --> 02:11:17.159
<v Speaker 15>them issues keeping them, And it's these judges and magistrates

2042
02:11:17.159 --> 02:11:19.199
<v Speaker 15>that are making the decision that we're not going to

2043
02:11:19.279 --> 02:11:23.079
<v Speaker 15>keep these people. And unfortunately, this is what the visit

2044
02:11:23.159 --> 02:11:27.079
<v Speaker 15>the citizens of Hamilton County voted for. The only way

2045
02:11:27.079 --> 02:11:29.359
<v Speaker 15>that we're going to have any kind of change is

2046
02:11:29.600 --> 02:11:33.039
<v Speaker 15>the next election. You find out what judges, you know,

2047
02:11:33.279 --> 02:11:35.960
<v Speaker 15>specifically these juvenile court judges, which ones are going to

2048
02:11:36.000 --> 02:11:38.199
<v Speaker 15>support law and order, which ones are going to take

2049
02:11:38.199 --> 02:11:41.000
<v Speaker 15>the safety of the community seriously, and those are who

2050
02:11:41.000 --> 02:11:41.720
<v Speaker 15>you have to vote for.

2051
02:11:41.880 --> 02:11:44.399
<v Speaker 14>That's the only way that these these things are ever

2052
02:11:44.439 --> 02:11:45.159
<v Speaker 14>going to change.

2053
02:11:47.920 --> 02:11:51.640
<v Speaker 2>So this happened on short Vine. Is this totally being

2054
02:11:51.640 --> 02:11:55.319
<v Speaker 2>handled by UC police or our campus police involved in

2055
02:11:55.359 --> 02:11:58.279
<v Speaker 2>this as well? Now this is this is off campus.

2056
02:11:58.279 --> 02:12:01.640
<v Speaker 15>This is a Sinciet Police department is investigating this homicide.

2057
02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:03.359
<v Speaker 2>They're the ones that may be around. Okay, yeah, because

2058
02:12:03.399 --> 02:12:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean literally, it's what one two blocks away from

2059
02:12:06.079 --> 02:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the campus that U see. So I didn't know if

2060
02:12:08.600 --> 02:12:10.560
<v Speaker 2>if if you had a role in this or not.

2061
02:12:11.600 --> 02:12:13.479
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, there's a lot of college kids that live in

2062
02:12:13.520 --> 02:12:16.119
<v Speaker 15>that area, but this was solely the jurisdiction of the

2063
02:12:16.159 --> 02:12:17.359
<v Speaker 15>City of Cincinnati's plice.

2064
02:12:17.479 --> 02:12:20.159
<v Speaker 2>All right, Ken Kober, Is there any way to uh

2065
02:12:20.560 --> 02:12:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to uh let people know about the amount of frustration

2066
02:12:23.920 --> 02:12:27.159
<v Speaker 2>that that you have over issues like this? And what's

2067
02:12:27.199 --> 02:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the what's the disposition of this kid right now that

2068
02:12:29.840 --> 02:12:32.560
<v Speaker 2>he get hit? Is he is he in the hospital

2069
02:12:32.560 --> 02:12:35.680
<v Speaker 2>recovering from an injury right now? What's the disposition of

2070
02:12:35.720 --> 02:12:36.039
<v Speaker 2>this kid?

2071
02:12:36.119 --> 02:12:37.119
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, that's my understanding.

2072
02:12:37.399 --> 02:12:39.960
<v Speaker 15>He is in custody, but I believe he's being treated

2073
02:12:39.960 --> 02:12:42.199
<v Speaker 15>for some injuries. And then we'll end up at twenty

2074
02:12:42.239 --> 02:12:43.800
<v Speaker 15>and we'll see how long he's there.

2075
02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:47.880
<v Speaker 2>All right? And then I mean, if is there anything

2076
02:12:47.920 --> 02:12:51.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to say before we let you go that

2077
02:12:51.520 --> 02:12:53.359
<v Speaker 2>that they can make any sort of difference in this

2078
02:12:53.439 --> 02:12:55.800
<v Speaker 2>at all other than I mean you already talked about

2079
02:12:55.880 --> 02:12:58.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, you got to pay attention to who you're

2080
02:12:58.520 --> 02:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>voting for sure.

2081
02:13:00.600 --> 02:13:02.399
<v Speaker 15>I Mean that's the biggest question I get, is you know,

2082
02:13:02.479 --> 02:13:06.760
<v Speaker 15>from citizens from officers the community is what can we do? Well,

2083
02:13:06.760 --> 02:13:08.479
<v Speaker 15>the answer is what you can do is get out

2084
02:13:08.520 --> 02:13:10.039
<v Speaker 15>and vote for people that are going to support law

2085
02:13:10.079 --> 02:13:12.880
<v Speaker 15>in order. That's that's ultimately what this is going to take.

2086
02:13:12.920 --> 02:13:16.079
<v Speaker 15>If you value safety in Hamilton County, you're going to

2087
02:13:16.159 --> 02:13:18.560
<v Speaker 15>have to vote for a judge that supports law in

2088
02:13:18.680 --> 02:13:21.880
<v Speaker 15>order and that that really, really is the bottom line

2089
02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:24.600
<v Speaker 15>is you have to pay attention to who these people are,

2090
02:13:24.880 --> 02:13:28.359
<v Speaker 15>what they stand for, and make sure that you know

2091
02:13:28.439 --> 02:13:30.520
<v Speaker 15>they align with safety in Hamilton County.

2092
02:13:30.800 --> 02:13:32.039
<v Speaker 14>That's the only thing we're going to be able to

2093
02:13:32.039 --> 02:13:32.920
<v Speaker 14>get a safer county.

2094
02:13:33.039 --> 02:13:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but if red flags like this sixteen contacts with

2095
02:13:37.720 --> 02:13:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the juvenile system, uh, you know you've got receiving stolen property,

2096
02:13:42.560 --> 02:13:46.159
<v Speaker 2>improper discharge of a firearm, possession of a firearm when

2097
02:13:46.199 --> 02:13:50.640
<v Speaker 2>you're already under disability. If those sorts of things don't

2098
02:13:50.760 --> 02:13:54.319
<v Speaker 2>raise red flags, what sorts of things do raise red flags?

2099
02:13:54.359 --> 02:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean these are serious, these are serious offenses.

2100
02:13:59.199 --> 02:13:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well you have to.

2101
02:13:59.800 --> 02:14:04.359
<v Speaker 15>Under san The magistrate that actually signed off on releasing

2102
02:14:05.239 --> 02:14:10.439
<v Speaker 15>this juvenile from EMU was also the same magistrate that

2103
02:14:10.800 --> 02:14:14.359
<v Speaker 15>told a child that ran from Coleraine Townships Police Department

2104
02:14:14.720 --> 02:14:17.279
<v Speaker 15>that sometimes there is a need just to get away

2105
02:14:17.319 --> 02:14:20.079
<v Speaker 15>from the police. So with that kind of ideology, what

2106
02:14:20.119 --> 02:14:22.720
<v Speaker 15>do you expect. That's exactly what's coming out of the

2107
02:14:22.800 --> 02:14:23.760
<v Speaker 15>juvenile court system.

2108
02:14:24.039 --> 02:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>For God's sake. All right, Ken Kober, as always, I

2109
02:14:27.720 --> 02:14:30.520
<v Speaker 2>appreciate the time, keep up the great work and stay

2110
02:14:30.520 --> 02:14:32.720
<v Speaker 2>safe out there. Brother. We'll talk to you again, saying

2111
02:14:32.760 --> 02:14:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I really appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for having me, Dan

2112
02:14:35.279 --> 02:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>take it all right, there you go, Ken Kober from

2113
02:14:37.640 --> 02:14:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the FOP sixteen contacts with the juvenile system, improper discharge

2114
02:14:43.680 --> 02:14:49.760
<v Speaker 2>of a firearm, receiving stolen property. These are very very

2115
02:14:49.800 --> 02:14:55.079
<v Speaker 2>serious things. And now this kid is again ino is

2116
02:14:55.119 --> 02:14:59.880
<v Speaker 2>it until proven guilty, But you've seen the video, looks

2117
02:14:59.920 --> 02:15:04.359
<v Speaker 2>like like he actually, you know, is wound up being

2118
02:15:04.439 --> 02:15:08.279
<v Speaker 2>involved and is charged with murder now of a twenty

2119
02:15:08.279 --> 02:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>five year old guy. Father and Kyle Merrick. It can

2120
02:15:15.079 --> 02:15:19.840
<v Speaker 2>only imagine the hell their family is going through, and

2121
02:15:21.520 --> 02:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>all because of some judge or some magistrate who is

2122
02:15:28.520 --> 02:15:31.920
<v Speaker 2>just looking at this in the completely wrong way. We

2123
02:15:31.960 --> 02:15:34.479
<v Speaker 2>got to get to a break, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.

2124
02:15:34.600 --> 02:15:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five KRC, The talk station. Fifty five KRC the

2125
02:15:38.880 --> 02:15:39.439
<v Speaker 2>talk station.

2126
02:15:40.079 --> 02:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>You don't.

2127
02:15:46.960 --> 02:15:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five KRC, the talk station. I want to thank

2128
02:15:50.600 --> 02:15:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Ken Cober for being here. I want to thank Daniel

2129
02:15:53.159 --> 02:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Turner for being here, and just a couple of great

2130
02:15:57.039 --> 02:15:59.720
<v Speaker 2>guests this morning. Also, I want to thank Charlton Allen

2131
02:15:59.720 --> 02:16:01.279
<v Speaker 2>who was here in the six o'clock hour. If you

2132
02:16:01.279 --> 02:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a chance to listen to that, go back

2133
02:16:03.000 --> 02:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>and listen to that, and just some great insight on

2134
02:16:06.920 --> 02:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs and economic issues and Ken Kober talking. I'll

2135
02:16:10.960 --> 02:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>just say, I'm really bent out of shape about this kid,

2136
02:16:15.000 --> 02:16:18.079
<v Speaker 2>this fifteen year old kid who's on the street with

2137
02:16:18.199 --> 02:16:23.399
<v Speaker 2>a gun. After all this you know, criminal history with

2138
02:16:23.479 --> 02:16:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the juvenile system, and it's just the way we deal

2139
02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:33.920
<v Speaker 2>with these kids. Something really has to change. I understand

2140
02:16:33.959 --> 02:16:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the impulse to want to, you know, rehabilitate kids, to

2141
02:16:41.280 --> 02:16:44.280
<v Speaker 2>want to correct them from the error of their ways.

2142
02:16:45.639 --> 02:16:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I really think I understand all that stuff. But at

2143
02:16:49.040 --> 02:16:53.600
<v Speaker 2>some point, and if you've got you know, between the

2144
02:16:53.639 --> 02:16:58.559
<v Speaker 2>ages of thirteen and fifteen, if you've got sixteen contacts

2145
02:16:58.559 --> 02:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>with the juvenile courts system, that doesn't happen by mistake.

2146
02:17:02.639 --> 02:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't happen just because that kid was in the

2147
02:17:05.120 --> 02:17:07.920
<v Speaker 2>wrong place at the wrong time, doesn't happen just because

2148
02:17:08.200 --> 02:17:11.319
<v Speaker 2>they were hanging out with the wrong crowd. Doesn't happen,

2149
02:17:11.319 --> 02:17:15.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, a good kid caught up in a bad circumstance. No,

2150
02:17:15.520 --> 02:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe once, maybe a couple of times, I don't, you know,

2151
02:17:18.159 --> 02:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>But sixteen times in the span of less than two years,

2152
02:17:21.000 --> 02:17:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. And when you're talking about, you know,

2153
02:17:25.200 --> 02:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>unlawful discharge of a firearm, receiving stolen property, some of

2154
02:17:30.959 --> 02:17:33.639
<v Speaker 2>the other some of the other things that this this

2155
02:17:33.719 --> 02:17:36.959
<v Speaker 2>kid was involved in, and then you can see fit

2156
02:17:38.440 --> 02:17:41.079
<v Speaker 2>to have this kid out on the streets in possession

2157
02:17:41.159 --> 02:17:43.440
<v Speaker 2>of a gun again. Now, of course, the court had

2158
02:17:43.440 --> 02:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>no way of knowing this kid was in possession of

2159
02:17:45.600 --> 02:17:47.479
<v Speaker 2>a gun once again. But if they were in possession

2160
02:17:47.520 --> 02:17:50.479
<v Speaker 2>of a gun wet one time, what would make you

2161
02:17:50.520 --> 02:17:55.840
<v Speaker 2>think that they wouldn't do it again? Cutting off the ankle, monitor,

2162
02:17:56.120 --> 02:17:59.319
<v Speaker 2>all that kind of stuff. Let it slide, Let it slide,

2163
02:17:59.360 --> 02:18:01.760
<v Speaker 2>let it slide, and then someone winds up paying the

2164
02:18:01.840 --> 02:18:05.799
<v Speaker 2>ultimate price with their life. It just really it just

2165
02:18:06.600 --> 02:18:09.639
<v Speaker 2>when I saw this story, I thought to myself, and

2166
02:18:09.719 --> 02:18:12.120
<v Speaker 2>it was a fifteen year old kid that you know,

2167
02:18:12.200 --> 02:18:14.559
<v Speaker 2>we are going to find out that this kid already

2168
02:18:14.559 --> 02:18:17.479
<v Speaker 2>had a history and I hate it when I'm right

2169
02:18:17.520 --> 02:18:19.559
<v Speaker 2>about these kind of things. It is time for me

2170
02:18:19.639 --> 02:18:19.879
<v Speaker 2>to go.

2171
02:18:20.239 --> 02:18:20.360
<v Speaker 10>Uh.

2172
02:18:20.520 --> 02:18:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Sean McMahon, thank you very much. Glenn Beck is coming

2173
02:18:22.840 --> 02:18:24.680
<v Speaker 2>up next. I got one more day to be with

2174
02:18:24.719 --> 02:18:27.399
<v Speaker 2>you tomorrow, and God only knows what's going to happen

2175
02:18:27.440 --> 02:18:29.520
<v Speaker 2>between now and then, but we'll be talking about it

2176
02:18:29.520 --> 02:18:32.399
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow morning, bright and early, about five am. I hope

2177
02:18:32.440 --> 02:18:35.079
<v Speaker 2>you can be there, and until then, have a great day.

2178
02:18:35.399 --> 02:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>On fifty five KRC, the talk station
