WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.839 By BO five. I think if I have k r 2 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:31.960 C the talk stations something a vacation snow, I gotta 3 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.479 get the runout. 4 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:35.240 Like that. 5 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.640 And if I gave a moment of thought to whatever 6 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.560 sound by Joe's going to play this morning, that would 7 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.240 be the first one to come to mind. So wonderful 8 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.000 start of the morning, Joe Strecker. It's cold out there, 9 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.200 and you, I guess we've got some inclement weather coming 10 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.399 our way. It's a really windy out. My car is 11 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.679 getting blown all over the road coming down the expressway 12 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.520 this morning, which was kind of strange, but so I 13 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.920 guess ultimately, be careful and don't bother going to school 14 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.840 today since they public schools closed due to the cold weather. 15 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.200 We find that like are we whimps now? I mean, 16 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.519 it just merely cold weather now, and it results in 17 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.079 the schools being shot down. Imagine our world when we 18 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.079 have to rely on solar power and wind, although I 19 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:28.560 guess the windmills would work really well this morning. We 20 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.359 have climate change. Climate change is going on right now. 21 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.680 You have nothing to do with it. Winter showed up 22 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.120 and it got really cold out and didn't we anticipate 23 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.400 that happening? But are are the kids just going to 24 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.040 stay at home for the entire winter? Now, I don't 25 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:51.640 get it, really don't get it was such a rare occasion. 26 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.799 Maybe I'm just waxing poetic about my childhood. We'd all 27 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.799 look really forward to the day when they would shut 28 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.319 down to the school because you know, there was like 29 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.920 eight inches of snow out there innow applause couldn't deal 30 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.159 with it. And don't ever recall the schools being shut 31 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.840 down because of cold. And I lived through the seventies 32 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.759 in the oil embargo when everything was really expensive, and 33 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.240 a really good friend of mine went over his house 34 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.520 and his family was on a budget. You know, I 35 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.000 understand that you could see your breath inside his house, 36 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.680 and that's because they kept the thermostat down really really low, 37 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.719 because well, the price of energy had gone through the roof. 38 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.719 Welcome to your future, brought to you not by the 39 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.639 laws of supply and demand, but by the laws of 40 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.560 well climate change, which are literally dominating every aspect of 41 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.479 our lives these days. Don't allow that to happen. Reject 42 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.719 the religion. Be like me anyway. Brian Thomas, right here, 43 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.520 glad to be right here, had a wonderful time yesterday 44 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.120 a listener lunch. What a great listener lunch. Not that 45 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.680 they're all not great, I love every one of them, 46 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.360 but everyone was interfestive in celebratory mood yesterday, which is 47 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.520 all I was looking for. And then that parlayed over 48 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.599 of segued over into the iHeartMedia Christmas Party. We had 49 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.759 a really wonderful time yere celebrating while the holidays generally speaking, 50 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.599 so I can say that I had a really nice 51 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.479 day yesterday. Anyhow, God bless the folks of Price Heal Chili. 52 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:20.360 The service, the food was great, and of course the fellowship. 53 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.599 Just a wonderful, wonderful day. Photographs, Thank you, Rebecca PROMGRAPPI 54 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.400 Rebecca used to take photographs at every listener to lunch, 55 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.120 and then her life sort of changed, went to a 56 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.039 different direction. She wasn't able to make it anymore. So 57 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.400 we haven't had really good photographs from a listener to lunch. 58 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.280 No offense west side, Jim Keefer, You've done a wonderful 59 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.680 job filling in the blanks over the years, but let's 60 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.759 face it, your cell phone has no substitute for Rebecca's 61 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.159 keen eye and wonderful camera that she's got. So if 62 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.360 you are friends with me on Facebook, or friends with 63 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.960 Rebecca Grappy on Facebook, or friends with west Side Jim 64 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.479 Kiefer on Facebook. Lots of folks have you know, reposted 65 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.840 the photographs and you can get a real big eye 66 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.960 full of all the different food that people late over there. 67 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.400 She loves taking pictures the plates of food before people 68 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.080 dive into him. So God bless you, Rebecca. You know 69 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.840 I love you to death. Coming up in the fifty 70 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.080 five Jarsey Morning Show, I love Joe Strecker in you know, 71 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.280 a non gay way. Joe, love you man, You're my brother, 72 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.759 and thank you for winding up Lieutenant Governor John Houston. 73 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.280 He'll be on the program coming up at seven o 74 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.120 five talking about the Ohio bathroom bill, somewhat controversial, at 75 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.600 least among some circles. Listen, I'm a firm believer that, 76 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.720 you know, if you're a guy, you should well be 77 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.240 using the men's bathroom. If you're a woman, you should 78 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.319 be using the women's bathroom. I have a daughter, and 79 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.279 I don't worry so much about my son. If my 80 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.639 son's in in the men's bathroom and a woman comes 81 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.000 in and goes, that's for whatever reason that doesn't strike 82 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:41.759 me as scary in the same way that a young 83 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.959 girl in a girl's bathroom having some forty five year 84 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.360 old man who claims he's a girl walk in there. 85 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.120 That really is creepy on a whole next level, and 86 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.639 you can feel differently about that. That's what opinions are 87 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.480 all like, like sphincters, we've all got one, but that's 88 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.319 you know that it's it could be very dangerous. I 89 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.399 suppose it could be dangerous. I don't know why. I 90 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:13.519 always project. I suppose there our instances with women could 91 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.199 take sexual advantage of men. It typically happens these days 92 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.560 with school teachers who think it's appropriate on some level 93 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.079 to have sex with I don't know, young boys. I 94 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.319 think it's a much rarer occasion. The whole concept of 95 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.160 you know, violence, rate that kind of thing. It usually, 96 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.319 in my mind, it's a guy attacking a woman, and 97 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.279 I think that's what is behind all of these bathroom bills. 98 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.639 It's like, don't create a situation where an eight year 99 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.480 old girl can get molested by somebody merely because that 100 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.000 guy claims to be a woman. I think it represents 101 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.000 a much higher level of concern than again, the controverse 102 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.439 or the flip side of it, but regardless, Lieutenant Governor 103 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.199 John Houston is going to join the program talk about 104 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.759 the bathroom bill, also ohioa dip and pregnancy programs two 105 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.439 topics with the Lieutenant Governor at seven o five, follow 106 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.600 by Donovan and Neil. Americans for Prosperity on school choice 107 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.279 expansion Yay for school Choice at eight o five. Big 108 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.720 show lined up today William hazel Grove with the book 109 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:22.240 Dead Air The Night orson wells Terrified America. I'm looking 110 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.920 forward to that, moving away from politics and talking about 111 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.839 one of the most interesting media phenomena to ever happen, 112 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.519 when people actually thought that we were being invaded by 113 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:38.000 Martian aliens. So a good show. Fifty five Casey dot 114 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.720 com for the podcast when you can't listen to live 115 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.079 Judgement of Polatana. We went to law school yesterday. That 116 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.079 was funking. Looking at the Hunter Biden pardon from a 117 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:52.639 core constitutional perspective, stepping away from how he was treated differently, 118 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.879 how the slow walk the investigation to more fundamental constitutional 119 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.360 based discussion. For example, why do you have to fill 120 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.279 out an FFL form when you buy a firearm? Is 121 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.560 there is that constitutional even in itself when we've got, 122 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.439 of of course, the more modern Supreme Court decisions like 123 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.079 the Bruin. You know, if that if the if the 124 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.319 prohibition didn't exist at the time the Second Amendment was ratified. 125 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.160 In other words, what was the perspective of the Founding 126 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.800 father's relative of firearms? You know, what could you have, 127 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.639 what could you use? And what I mean he pointed 128 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.839 to He loved that. He pointed out that Thomas Jefferson 129 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.120 and George Washington both grew weed on their farms and 130 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.680 also were firearms unders So it kind of suggested that 131 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.879 maybe those guys were walking around Stone that was okay 132 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.560 back then. You didn't have to fill out a federal 133 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.120 firearms for him back then. So you can forgive Hunter 134 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.399 Biden on some level for lying only because the predicate 135 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:56.519 the FFL form itself under Judge and Palalaton's argument, and 136 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.879 I would say, I share it is unconstitutional because that 137 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.360 kind of prohibition, that limitation that you can't buy something 138 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:10.439 until you fill out a federal form was not in 139 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.240 any way, shape or form in existence at the time. 140 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.560 The Founding Fathers told you that you absolutely have a 141 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.519 god given right to protect yourself defend yourself. The Second 142 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.439 Amendment right to keep in bare arms shall not be 143 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.680 in fringe, and that's an infringement. So I thought, why not, 144 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.439 you know, wouldn't that be a welcome opportunity since unter 145 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.799 Biden was facing those charges. It was so I'm guilty 146 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.480 to defend yourself based on the Brewing decision. And maybe 147 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.080 they raised that argument at court. I don't know, but 148 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.159 you know, you can appeal a conviction and go up 149 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.399 to the Supreme Court. Maybe the Supreme Court that in 150 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.559 front of them, they might have declared, no, you know what, 151 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.720 He's right, you don't need to fill out one of 152 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.279 these forms in order to purchase a firearm. So anyway, 153 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.559 we talked about that, and I thought it was a 154 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.759 rather interesting legal discussion because, you know, at the outset, 155 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.519 I was a little concerned, if you like, wait a second, 156 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.360 you know, Neapolitana thinks it's okay that Hunter Biden got 157 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.720 pardoned by his old man. Well, on a constitutional level, 158 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.639 the answer yes, but you can't look at it from 159 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.960 the base of the facts on Hunter Biden specifically, you 160 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.000 have to back up and look at the core fundamental 161 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.960 limitation document that is the Constitution. There are specific limitations 162 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.559 of the federal government. They only have the right under 163 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:25.159 the Constitution to involve themselves in very specific matters too specifically, 164 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.879 and there are five thousand, almost five two hundred now 165 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:34.440 federal laws on the books criminal that exceed the scope 166 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.639 of the authority the federal government has under the Constitution. 167 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.000 So I loved that whole. Like I said, we all 168 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:42.720 went to law school yesterday. So if you get a 169 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.480 chance to listen to the judge, check that one out. 170 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.879 I think it's well worth it. Alex Chrantefiela was on 171 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.519 the program yesterday the podcast at five Caressey dot Com. 172 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.360 Talked of the state of politics here and also always 173 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.840 wonderful commentary by Jack add and tying in biblical concepts 174 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.799 to Donald Trump's cabinet. I didn't know how that was 175 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.879 going to go direction wise, and it was. It was 176 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:07.039 pretty cool. I suppose everybody knows at this point about 177 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.840 that shooting in New York yesterday. Briefly, the CEO United 178 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.279 Health fatally shot. It was a it was a targeted attack. 179 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.759 It seems premeditated. No one seems to be making any 180 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.600 argument to the contrary. Someone mentioned this when I walked 181 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.679 into the Christmas party. Yesterday. I read the news and 182 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.440 it said Brian Thoms. Someone is like Brian Thomas. I 183 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:31.039 thought was Brian Thomas god shot? No, Brian Thompson getting 184 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.440 ready to speak of the United Health Group investor conference. 185 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.600 He was the CEO now deceased. So no, it wasn't 186 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.399 me Thomas. My name Thompson his name. He was only 187 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.080 fifty years old. Weird set of circumstances. The guy and 188 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.240 we were talking yesterday and joking around about the red 189 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.279 Bikes program in Cincinnati, kind of on a thin ice 190 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.240 because it doesn't have the money to operate. This guy 191 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.960 escaped on one of those type of bikes and he 192 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:01.440 is at large still. They said he appeared to be 193 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:06.440 an experienced firearm user using a firearm equipped with a suppressor. 194 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:12.000 It's a suppressor, not a silencer. Okay, it's like it's 195 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.559 a magazine, not a club. Anyway, nine millimeter handgun with 196 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.200 a suppressor. Calmly Cooley shot the guy in the back. 197 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.320 The gun jam. He was able to get the jam fixed, 198 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.600 which is one of the things they say points that 199 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.039 he was an experienced shooter. I'll let you draw your 200 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.399 own conclusions on that. My fellow firearms owners hey, walk 201 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.080 down the Queen Rose Street quietly escape down an alleyway 202 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.960 on one of those rented bikes. I thought the weird 203 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.879 thing beyond the person who thought for a moment that 204 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.320 it was me Brian Thomas as opposed to Brian Thompson. 205 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:52.919 The guy is married to a woman named Paulette. Brian 206 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:59.399 Thompson and Paulette Thompson. So creepy, creepy thing there, since, 207 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.120 of course, my wife's name is Paullette, not exactly a 208 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.440 common name.

Let's 234 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:10.399 go to the phone, Steve, thanks for holding over the brake, 235 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.120 Welcome to the program. 236 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:13.960 Good morning, How you doing. 237 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.879 I'm doing to here? 238 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.399 You got to hear you worn't involved in that. 239 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.159 My question is, is I just there's a younger guy 240 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.159 at work and just time out. 241 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.480 He's been there two years. 242 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.679 And he's not eligible for a four to one K 243 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.039 and the money that is put in by the company 244 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.559 because I until he turns twenty one. 245 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.320 That doesn't seem seems like some kind of a age 246 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.200 discrimination thing. 247 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.320 I've never heard that rule. Is that you caught me 248 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.399 off guard on that one. I know there are weird 249 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.720 rules about four to one k's. I know, I had 250 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.879 to be employed when I first started my four to 251 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.399 one K at my first you know, full time real job, 252 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:50.879 and I was practice of laun Chicago. I had to 253 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.279 wait a full year before I became eligible to contribute 254 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.080 to it and to get the match. But I've never 255 00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.960 heard of an age restriction on it. So that's that's 256 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.600 new on me. I have, Steve, honestly don't have any 257 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.360 idea why that would apply, especially with more and more 258 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.960 young people foregoing the stupidity of a four year college degree, 259 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.919 which is going to give them literally nothing for a 260 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.759 variety of topics. Why wouldn't you be able to start, 261 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.480 you know, ful fill the minimum requirement of time spent 262 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.240 at work one year, whatever it happens to be in 263 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.559 our company policy, and start participating plan ahead for your future. 264 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:24.559 So all right, I. 265 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.639 Just just it didn't seem the corporate I mean, it 266 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.000 kind of seems like a loophole. 267 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.360 For the corporations. Yeah, but it's I. 268 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.639 Mean, they're basically being told. I mean I was told 269 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.320 when I was younger, I wasn't allowed to get a 270 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.240 raise that I deserved because I was unmarried and young. 271 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.399 What and yeah, well maybe the laws changed a little bit. 272 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.480 S If I was an employer, I wouldn't say something 273 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:48.720 like that out loud. 274 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:49.759 You know. 275 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.360 It's like, well, honey, it worked out for me. Good, 276 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.360 oh god, I'm over the long haul. Goods do you? 277 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.159 You didn't land it a bad spot. But that's like 278 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.679 to me, that's like saying, honey, we would love to 279 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.360 promote you to the vice presidents, but we're worried you 280 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.080 might get pregnant or something. You know, I mean, just 281 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.559 that stuff is not right. It's I mean, unethicable, immoral 282 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.559 and also perhaps illegal. But in as far as the 283 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.039 contribution thing, if there's a listener out there that knows 284 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.320 four one K law and knows that that there's a 285 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.559 limitation on when you can start, I listen fifty nine 286 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.159 years old, and I have never heard that before. Brother, 287 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:31.440 So that's that's strange. And you know what, you know, 288 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.600 what's really cool about that, though, aside from the fact 289 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.519 that that the eighteen year was deprived of the opportunity 290 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.480 to prepare for his or her future, that there was 291 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.639 someone out there at the age of eighteen who wanted 292 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:49.039 to put away something for their future. That person, whoever 293 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.320 that person is, Steve, if it was you, You're you're 294 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:56.600 setting yourself up for a lifetime of success. You're thinking forward. 295 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.840 You are putting money in something that is going to 296 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.480 earn money. You know, it always earns money over time 297 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.120 because you get the benefit of that compounding interest in 298 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.120 markets that you know, over history have proven themselves to 299 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:12.440 always go up inspite of some setbacks. But whoever raised 300 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.840 that eighteen year old, he did a good job. And 301 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:20.240 whoever that person is wonderful. Give You're gonna do well 302 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.919 in life, at least from my from my conservative West 303 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:27.120 Side perspective, at least conservative from a financial perspective. Anyway, 304 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.600 stick around. Got more callers coming in Eric's online calling 305 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.480 in right now. We'll take that call.

You also can require 374 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.960 that being minimum of twenty one years old. It just 375 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:46.000 depends on what the employer chooses to select. I guess 376 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.799 it's like some employers author wraw for a one K, 377 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.759 some offer just plain old four to one case. So 378 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.039 the options are out there, and I'm happy that employers 379 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.680 have the flexibility. This is one of the ways they 380 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.839 compete in the marketplace for valuable talent. So the better 381 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.759 your your retirement plan options probably the more likely it 382 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:05.519 is you're going to get a good, good talent. It's 383 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.519 like having great medical insurance. So yeah, Eric, thank you 384 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:11.920 very much, not for the kind words about the show, 385 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.160 but also supporting my support for Joe Streckers. So consistent 386 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.680 information not just from Eric's real world experience, but from 387 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:25.279 Joe Streckers on the fly internet research two to three talk 388 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.240 interesting headline how did two Ohio at jail inmates die 389 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.759 in a week? Camera Knight, since I inquire, thank you 390 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.039 for the reporting. Camera and two inmates have died in 391 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.559 custody at the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in the past week. 392 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.079 Matthew Dennier, fifty four, died and the Justice Center new Thursday, 393 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.359 November twenty eighth, According to the department spokesperson Kyla Woods 394 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.880 will be the Emont County Sheriff's Department. Denler admitted to 395 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.319 the jail Tuesday, November twenty six would Say having been 396 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.240 arrested on open warrants. Court documents related to the specific 397 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:02.200 charges not immediately available. Woulds said he was found unresponsive 398 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.039 in his cell Thursday officers of medical staff attempted life 399 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.400 saving measures, obviously unsuccessful given the headline. Jacob Grayson, twenty five, 400 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.519 collapsed Wednesday, November twenty seventh in the common area of 401 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.839 a pod. According to Woods, officers and medical staff responded 402 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.920 and he was taken to UC Medical Center, where he 403 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.920 later died. He Corner's office at least not reported the 404 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.119 date of his death as the time of the reporting, 405 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.680 but court documents state Grayson was arrested on November twenty 406 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.480 fifth on a probation violation. Pleaded no contest to possessing 407 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:39.400 a fentanyl related compound back in February. Documents related to 408 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.440 the prole violations said Grayson had a positive drug test 409 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.400 for fentanyl and failed to report to the probation department. 410 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.079 According to Enquire's research, fourteen people died at the Hamilt 411 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.079 County Justice Center between August twenty twenty and September twenty 412 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.559 twenty three. Coroner's office working to determine the cause of 413 00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.480 death for both in main Sheriff's office also investigating both as. 414 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.200 Wood said no foul play is suspected in either case, 415 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.119 and she also confirmed that no force was used against 416 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:13.160 either inmate, probably because there's not sufficient sheriff's deputies in 417 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:17.000 the jail to even be around the use force. Allow 418 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:21.720 me the occasional political barb couple the five thirty five 419 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.680 efty five kars to detalk station. Feel free to call, 420 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:25.519 got some time, but going to dive into the stack 421 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:27.599 is stupid as well. Prefer talking to you though. If 422 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:29.200 you got a topic you want to talk about, feel 423 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.920 free five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five, eight 424 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.960 hundred and eighty two to three talk be right back. After 425 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.599 these brief words, the talkings were hung by the chimney with. 426 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.839 Care thanks for taking my college, taking my call. 427 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:43.599 And hopes they'd soon hear you're on the air. 428 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.599 Happy holidays, Merry Christmas you and your family. 429 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:55.880 Fifty five KRC the talk station. What's up, y'all? Just 430 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:01.839 to clarify, since Heather eight from around here, much like 431 00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:05.720 Chuck Ingram, who is off today, he sits in one 432 00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:09.079 of the studios here at the iHeartMedia cluster. He is 433 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.960 at least familiar with local roads and traffic, and he 434 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:16.519 does know that not all public schools are closed today. 435 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:20.160 That will be the Cincinnati public schools closed today. Okay, 436 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.880 just make sure that you know that I'm sure you 437 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.480 would have gotten a text if your school district was closed. 438 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.839 But my children went to public schools. But I didn't 439 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.279 see any reporting this morning that the Loveland Public schools 440 00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:36.519 will be closed. So just remember Cincinnati public schools closed 441 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.519 because of cold weather. What a perfect opportunity and segue 442 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.400 to the stack of stupid. But before I get to that, 443 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.599 let's get Larry. Larry, welcome to the program. Happy Friday 444 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:46.079 Eve to you. 445 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.920 Happy Friday evening to you, Friday Eve to you, the 446 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:50.799 wrong thanks brother. 447 00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:52.559 First off, I want. 448 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.079 To first off, all, let's say I pray for you, 449 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.680 because I know you're putting cant. 450 00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.799 There, so I'm praying for you. 451 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.599 Appreciate it, and the same. 452 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.279 On what's you know how much I do appreciate your 453 00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.240 show and listening to you for about. 454 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:09.519 At least two years, I know, maybe three first. 455 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:13.759 Time CAULI though, sir, I'm not sure why, but the 456 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.359 pound five fifty does not work on my AT and 457 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.880 T phone. Really maybe that's something, Yeah, on mind, it doesn't. 458 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.000 I'm not sure why. Yeah, Joe Strucker's throwing his hands 459 00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.359 up and he doesn't know. I don't know either, and 460 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.039 I listen. I just I just get the message. You know, hey, 461 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.599 here the phone numbers announce them. I understanding at some 462 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:34.920 point they entered into a relationship with AT and T 463 00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:38.000 where you got pound five fifty. I don't know. So 464 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.319 there's somebody out there out there that that that does 465 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.440 work and knows that pound five fifty works. We could 466 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:46.599 at least address Larry's personal phone concerns, and I wouldn't 467 00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:49.559 mind solving that problem or having it confirmed that no, 468 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.319 pound five fifty doesn't work anymore. And I'll have to 469 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:54.359 talk to my superiors about that if I could ever 470 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:55.480 find out who they are. 471 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:03.359 Okay, Lansley's clarification thing, maybe I missunder So I thought 472 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.160 I heard you make a comment about wasting your time 473 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.039 not getting a college education. 474 00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.799 Uh yeah. My whole tune on college has kind of 475 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:16.079 changed over the years. And I see so many children, 476 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:18.400 you know, and we talk about student debt, student loans, 477 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:21.200 all that kind of thing. What are you getting by 478 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.960 way of degree? Now? I would argue all day long, absolutely, 479 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.920 get a college education if it's in a degree where 480 00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:31.400 there's an actual employment opportunity out there in the world. 481 00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:36.559 An engineering degree, a chemistry degree, a business degree, something concrete, 482 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:41.759 something usable, something that maybe you know, crosses multiple different professions, 483 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.599 which allows you flexibility. In my case, I got a 484 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:50.079 political science degree. Now what would I have done with that, Larry, 485 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:52.319 had I not gone on to law school. I have 486 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.640 no idea. The only reason I've removed my major over 487 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.680 to political science at the time is because I had 488 00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.920 every intention of going to law Schoolical science was one 489 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.759 of those degrees that a lot of people you know, 490 00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:07.079 parlayed into getting into law school. The only reason. So 491 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.880 that's why I joke about it's like getting a degree 492 00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:13.920 in art. I like art. It's a hobby. Though you 493 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.559 can learn about art and focus on some particular genre 494 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:21.119 or era and learn everything there is to know about 495 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.079 it on your own. But having a degree in art, 496 00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:25.960 what are you going to use it for? How many 497 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:29.440 how many opportunities for employment are there at Southeby's for example, 498 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.640 probably none? And how many docents get paid? Docents are 499 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.119 usually like a volunteer job at an art museum. So 500 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.720 you know, you want to exit after four years with 501 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:43.240 a degree in art, after spending one hundred thousand maybe 502 00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.119 dollars or more and paying interest on that over twenty 503 00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:49.440 plus years. No, I think that's a poor choice. So 504 00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:54.160 the value of the degree should be the deciding factor 505 00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:58.519 on whether you actually pursue that four year commitment. That's 506 00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.039 all I really meant. I know I was probably way 507 00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:04.160 too short handed with the way I commented on that, 508 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.160 but you know, I've made these kind of comments a 509 00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:07.960 lot of times over the years, so I just kind 510 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.400 of maybe wrongfully assumed that there was some context out 511 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.440 in the general listening audience for where I was going. 512 00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:15.480 God bless you, man, and thank you so much for 513 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.480 the kind words and for tuning into the fifty five 514 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:19.640 casing Morning Show means the world to me.

We're not going to do it on 587 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.880 the first, that being the well holiday, So eighth of 588 00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:56.039 January we're going to be at High Green Brewery. High 589 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:58.960 Green Brewery which is on Winton Road. They had pretty 590 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:00.839 nice menu. We checked it out out, and then we're 591 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:02.680 going to have We're going to be back at Little 592 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:06.960 Miami Brewery in Milford in February. So we may make 593 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.599 it a year of microbreweries, at least ones that have 594 00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:13.000 really good food menus and who are also willing to 595 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:16.079 take on the listener lunch crowd. So let us see 596 00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:22.079 here over to the stack is stupid, Well, this is strange. 597 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.160 Got a Central California teacher died last month after being 598 00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:30.119 bitten by a bat. They say presumably had rabies, and 599 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:36.119 it happened inside the classroomchrys will no wait a second, 600 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:40.720 marking the third such fatality in North America in recent weeks. 601 00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.319 Lay Seang inn awake of her death November twenty second, 602 00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:50.559 public officials warning public with the dangers of bats, the 603 00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.920 most common source of human rabies in the United States. 604 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.400 Fun fact I did not know. Even though fewer than 605 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:58.839 ten people in the country die from rabies every year, 606 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.160 it's almost all fatal if not treated quickly. This sixty 607 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.759 year old Senang found a bat in her classroom. According 608 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:09.319 to her friend, she tried to scoop it up and 609 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.559 take it outside, but it bit her, which wild animals 610 00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.880 tend to do. She didnt immediately have symptoms of rabies, 611 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.400 but fell ill weeks later. Taken to the hospital where 612 00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:21.039 she was put into heavily and a medically induced coma 613 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.559 and died days later. She was a teacher at Bryant 614 00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:33.079 Middle School in Dos Pados, California, referred in the school 615 00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:36.319 district referred to as a dedicated and compassionate educator, which 616 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:41.039 I would expect. Watch out for bats, but don't kill them. 617 00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:46.359 Bats are awesome and very important to the ecosystem. Oh wow, 618 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:50.480 big news for folks following the Vatican and the various 619 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.160 Pulpe mobiles that have been used over the years. The 620 00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.599 Vatican announced yesterday and unveiled the new open top Pulpe 621 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:03.720 mobile and of course all electric Mercedes Benz that he 622 00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:08.319 will use when he greets pilgrims at Saint Peter's Square. Vehicle, 623 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.799 described as a modified version of Germany's Companies, a G 624 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:14.759 class mid sized luxury suv, has an elevated seat so 625 00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.440 the Pope can well get a better view of the 626 00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:19.599 crowds and the crowds and get a better view of 627 00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:23.920 the Pope. Joe Gee, why was that in the stack 628 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:35.000 of stupid? Sorry? Movie actress met an untimely end after 629 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:40.920 consuming a potion containing a poisoned frog called Cambo idiots 630 00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.240 doing idiot things because they're idiots. Never heard of this 631 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:48.200 person who's referred to a movie star. Marcella Alcazar Rodriguez 632 00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.480 was that a spiritual retreat in Mexico took part in 633 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:55.599 what they called a cleansing ritual, which used a substance 634 00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:02.839 made from the giant monkey frog, whichparently secrets a hallucinogenic 635 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:08.800 substance potion itself. They say it causes vomiting and uncontrollable diarrhea. 636 00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:11.639 It's thought to clear out the system for the retreat visitors. 637 00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.159 So you walk into this open eyed. By the way, 638 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.880 here you go have this, you will start having uncontrolled 639 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.719 vomiting and diarrhea. Go ahead, drink up. Potion said to 640 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:29.039 be forty times stronger than morphine. Idiots doing idiot things 641 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:32.239 because they're idiots. However, when she consumed it, apparently her 642 00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:34.960 whole body cause was started to spasm and when it 643 00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:38.119 edited her system. Local reports there said she died hours 644 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.599 later at the Red Cross Hospital. Not yet confirm whether 645 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.280 the poison caused her death. I'm going to go with yes. 646 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:48.119 Durango State Attorney General's office said they're investigating her death 647 00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.360 and looking for the leader of this spiritual retreat, who 648 00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:56.119 happened to have fled the scene after she died. Autopsy 649 00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.559 is currently being investigated, and it's thought to have a 650 00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.360 clearer idea of the car death once it comes back. 651 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:04.400 Says she had a vast movie career, mainly worked in 652 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.880 the United States, but also took jobs in Mexico, co 653 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.960 starring in the indie rom com New Low. 654 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:14.079 Nobody Cares, Thank. 655 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.159 You, Joe. Variety dubbed it a cult hit. Joe, you 656 00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:19.559 still got your hard copy of Variety showing up at 657 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:21.599 your home every day or every week or whatever often 658 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:28.239 it comes. No thanks Dad, anyway. Don't drink giant monkey 659 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.599 frog poisoning or or or don't engage in a closing 660 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:34.519 ritual in Mexico. I think, generally speaking, that's probably sound 661 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.719 advice we've learned over the years of the Stack. Argue 662 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:41.079 with that the Stack is stupid. That if your quote 663 00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:45.800 unquote doctor H schedules your butt enhancement surgery at a 664 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:48.719 Motel six, you might not want to do that either. 665 00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.239 Fivefty five ifty five cares to detalk station. Feel free 666 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.400 to call love to hear from You got plenty to 667 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.679 talk about, including what the caller mentioned This Chinese hack 668 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:01.280 latest in a long campaign by the Chinese Communist Party 669 00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:04.920 to gather information, made even worse by an article I 670 00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:10.960 found from the Rutherford Institute headline, you better watch out. 671 00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:15.039 The surveillance State is making a list and you're on it. Wow. 672 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.039 Mind blowing. It's like a boiled down version of literally 673 00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:21.360 everything Dave Hatter has been talking about in the Morning 674 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.840 Show over the last ten years. And it's scary. Don't 675 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.400 go away right back after the news ever changing world. 676 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.920 There's one constant you can depend on. Fifty five krc 677 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.159 D talk station at the top end, bottom of the. 678 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:37.280 Hour when it comes to. 679 00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:40.320 Six or six FI fifty five r se DE talks 680 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:43.639 day h Briyantom Soush and everybody Very Happy Friday. And 681 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.760 still mocking the Cincinnti public schools for closing because of 682 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:58.280 cold weather. I'm just reeling over that teachers have to 683 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.760 show up. If teachers can make it in, why can't 684 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.559 the kids make it in anyhow? It's just frustrating me 685 00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:08.360 this morning, among other things. Before I get to the 686 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:11.320 story that the Restless or the Caller mentioned earlier in 687 00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:13.480 the program, At these Chinese Communist Party hacks, a couple 688 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:17.159 of things real quick here. I probably assume that you've 689 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:20.320 heard by now that the United Healthcare CEO got assassinated 690 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.280 yesterday in New York City, was getting ready to go 691 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:26.599 to the United health Group investor conference. His name Brian Thompson, 692 00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:29.960 no relation. Clearly thought it was really wild that he's 693 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:31.920 married to a woman named paul Ette or the late 694 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:35.800 Brian Thompson was married to paul Ette, since that's my name, 695 00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:38.199 so we've got a close name connection. But here's for 696 00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:44.760 my conspiracy theorist friends out there, let's start one. No 697 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:48.519 idea why it was targeted for assassination. Clearly everyone has 698 00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:53.079 concluded he was targeted the assailor or the assassin was 699 00:37:53.159 --> 00:38:02.079 waiting for him, apologize. Evan Proms this morning waited for him. 700 00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:06.960 Obviously wanted that specific guy, since he was hanging around 701 00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:11.679 for a while waiting for him to come out. United 702 00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:15.559 Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was one of a number of 703 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:21.519 senior executives being investigated by the Justice Department for insider trading. 704 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:28.400 Apparently he had exercised stock options. Nothing nothing to see here, 705 00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:33.159 sold shares worth fifteen point one million dollars in February, 706 00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:37.840 roughly two weeks before news of the federal antitrust investigation 707 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:42.880 became public. So go ahead draw your own conclusions, because 708 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.159 I say, conspiracy theory can start stirring the pot of 709 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.320 that one. Because after he died, United Health Group Incorporated 710 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:56.320 stock jump five point five six percent. Yesterday it's up 711 00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:58.679 to six hundred and ten dollars and seventy nine cents 712 00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:02.880 a share. Now, I will acknowledge that the pre market 713 00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:10.400 futures are are trading down, but not much compared to 714 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:14.400 the five point five percent increase yesterday. I'm sorry, five 715 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:18.360 point five percent, a five point five to six fifty 716 00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:20.320 six cents jump in the stock price. That was zero 717 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.199 point ninety two percent, So almost one percent increase in 718 00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:26.719 the stock price now I get my facts right. Anyhow, nothing 719 00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:30.320 to see there. It'd be interesting to find out why 720 00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.760 specifically he was targeted, because no one knows where that 721 00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:34.760 guy went. He took off on the New York City 722 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.159 version of a red bike. Apparently they have enough money 723 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.320 in New York City to pay for that. Anyway, Over, 724 00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.920 the frightening reality that the world, obviously of warfare, has 725 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:48.039 changed dramatically since everything on the planet is now connected 726 00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:51.039 by the Internet or so electronically in some form. The 727 00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:58.199 Chinese government hackers have compromised telecommunications infrastructure all around the world, 728 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.840 according to US security officials in a release yesterday describing 729 00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:12.480 it as a massive espionage campaign press conference with Anne Newberger, 730 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:17.000 President Biden's Deputy National Security Advisor for cyber and Emerging Technologies, 731 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.000 said this so called salt typhoon, as opposed to volt typhoon, 732 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:27.599 which we've talked about before. Salt typhoon campaign is ongoing. 733 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.920 And that's a word worth circling when you're reading about this, 734 00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:33.079 because it ain't over. And wait till you find out 735 00:40:33.079 --> 00:40:35.880 what they've been listening to and capturing by way of 736 00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:39.760 data that hit at least eight telecommunications firms in the 737 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:42.960 United States. They were all breached. According to her statement, 738 00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:47.480 the Chinese compromise private companies exploiting vulnerabilities in their systems 739 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.239 as part of a global Chinese campaign that's affected dozens 740 00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:54.880 of countries around the world. Now, of course, the Chinese 741 00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:58.000 government denied it. Nothing is he here right? We don't 742 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:03.079 interfere with elections. This was first reported back in September 743 00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:06.440 in the Wall Street Journal, but her remarks the most 744 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:11.800 specific public acknowledgment yet by our government regarding this vast 745 00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:14.880 scope and severity of the hacking campaign, which investigators of 746 00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:18.440 Trace two. Of course, the Chinese Intelligence agency. Wall Street 747 00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:22.320 Journal previously identified Verizon AT and TT Mobile Lumen technologies 748 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:30.039 among the victims, but also you, as was reported or 749 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:33.320 released in her conference yesterday, saying, in her words, a 750 00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:38.239 large number of Americans have their cell phones and metadata 751 00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:42.719 accessed in the intrusion. They declined to say how many Americans, 752 00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:48.800 but said it wasn't believed that all Americans had their 753 00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:56.480 metadata compromise. Well, isn't that comforting. Here's a list of 754 00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:59.480 everybody that had their data compromise, and here's another list 755 00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.480 of the people who who didn't. I'll let you guess 756 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.599 which list is longer. Anyway, to this metadata attack and 757 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.840 this capturing of all the data that's on, including probably 758 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:14.519 your cell phone, they say that it was regional in focus, 759 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:19.079 and thus they suspect the point was to identify phone 760 00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.480 lines of valuable senior government officials. So you know, if 761 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:26.440 you target the greater Langley area, you're likely to capture 762 00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:28.519 people the work of the CIA. You get the idea 763 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:31.320 of how that works. They see the hackers then targeted 764 00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:36.679 the phones to steal uencrypted text messages, listen to some 765 00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:42.119 phone calls as well. Previously reported, President elect Donald Trump, 766 00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:45.239 Vice President elect JD. Van senior congressional staffers, and a 767 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.440 whole bunch of security officials here in the United States 768 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.559 were among our the United States were among a whole 769 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.320 bunch of folks described as scores who have had their 770 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:57.840 calls and texts directly targeted in this particular attack. And 771 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.880 I had read that specific report earlier, but now I 772 00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:05.639 suppose this release from our intelligence folks reflects the massive 773 00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:09.280 size and scope, far bigger than they originally had reported. 774 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:14.159 And it's reported that investigators are still working to figure 775 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:20.519 out the full parameters of the ongoing intrusions by this 776 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:25.920 Salt typhoon attack. It has not been eradicated. It is 777 00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:30.400 still out there. In opressed briefing, Newberger said that it 778 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.239 wasn't believed that the classified communications were accessed in the breach. 779 00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:39.320 It wasn't believed. Now you go ahead and take comfort 780 00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:44.159 in that statement if you want. It wasn't believed that 781 00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.760 classified communications were access to the breaches, but it's certainly 782 00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.360 possible that they were. She said, quote, we do not 783 00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:58.480 believe any have fully removed the Chinese actors from these networks, 784 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:03.519 So that is a reminder that there's a risk of 785 00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:07.480 ongoing compromise of United States telephone calls until the companies 786 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.320 fully addressed the cybersecurity gaps that they have which allowed 787 00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:14.440 the Chinese Communist Party to enter it in first place. This, 788 00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:17.559 in addition to the compromising private unencrypted calls and text 789 00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:22.119 hackers were able to access information from systems maintained by 790 00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:28.440 the carriers to comply with US surveillance requests. In other words, 791 00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:31.199 there's stuff in there in the systems that the United 792 00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.360 States government made them put in there so they could 793 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:38.280 get surveillance. Our government gets surveillance. Does that make it 794 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:41.360 any better? Is it cool that our government is surveiling 795 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:45.440 your phone calls without a warrant? But uncool that the 796 00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:51.119 Chinese Communist Party is doing it as well? Again an 797 00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:57.599 interesting thought question. Our Tuesday officials conceded that they don't 798 00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:00.000 know when the hackers might be purged from the telecomis 799 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:04.199 munications infrastructure and urge people to use encrypted acts to 800 00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:06.880 protect their phone calls and texts. Quote, it would be 801 00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.559 impossible for us to predict a time frame on when 802 00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:14.519 we'll have full evictions that, according to Jeffrey Green, senior 803 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:18.239 official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, guests are 804 00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:22.760 apparently is one of those. Well doesn't that make you 805 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.360 feel nice and comfortable? So, in other words, I glean 806 00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.480 from that that this compliance with US surveillance request in 807 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.280 hackers that were able to access the system. Because of that, 808 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.199 we in essence facilitated the ease of the Chinese Communist 809 00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:49.199 Party in accessing our communications. Hey, thanks appreciate that. Five one, three, seven, 810 00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:51.599 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three 811 00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:54.159 talk pn FI fifty on eight phones. I want to 812 00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.960 mention affordable medical image because I want you to save 813 00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:58.039 a heapload of money, and yeah, it's worth the drive. 814 00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:59.880 It may be out of your way, but I'm just 815 00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:01.920 got it was a point well made. One of my 816 00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:04.239 listeners said, you know, I sent a buddy over there. 817 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:06.800 I mentioned him. I heard him about it, and he said, well, 818 00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:09.760 it was quite a drive for me, but it was 819 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:13.079 well worth the drive because getting whatever image he got. 820 00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.000 I don't know if as an MRI or a CT scan, 821 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:18.719 but he too, saved thousands of dollars, making it worth 822 00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:20.639 the extra minutes that it took him to get to 823 00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:25.039 affordable imaging services. Yes, it's worth to drive. Don't expect 824 00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:28.519 any you know, fluffy, frilly kind of things to keep 825 00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:30.880 the overhead really really low. But you get the same 826 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:33.639 equipment hospital as you used to do your MRI, CT scans, 827 00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:37.199 echo cardogram's, ultra sounds, lung screens, and cardiac scorings, and 828 00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.760 you only pay a literal fraction of the cost that 829 00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:43.000 would cost you a hospital imaging department. Go ahead, call 830 00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.239 the hospital imaging department. You've already got the order from 831 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.480 your doctor. You need to get a CT scan with 832 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:50.000 a contrast. Well, I'll tell you right now up front 833 00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.000 at affordable imaging that's only going to cost you six 834 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.360 hundred bucks and it includes a board certified radiologist report, 835 00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:58.679 which you and your doctor will both get within forty 836 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:02.199 eight hours. Over at the hospital, they'll probably tell you 837 00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:04.679 that after you're sure insurance payment, you might be out 838 00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.159 of pocket thirty one hundred dollars. Thank you Jeff for 839 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.440 pointing out your own personal experience. That's how much Jeff saved. 840 00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:14.239 And good morning to the folks at Markhonk. But is 841 00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:17.079 this other email I got same kind of thing?

Thanks for calling. 885 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:28.079 Good morning, Brian. I've planned on sleeping in until I 886 00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:33.440 heard you say the word conspiracy. You're slipping. It's supposed 887 00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:34.159 to be consp. 888 00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:40.079 Pattern observer, pattern observer. That's it. That's it. Okay, and 889 00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:43.920 you are my favorite. You are my favorite pattern observer. 890 00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:48.039 I've acknowledged that over time, So thank you. Well. 891 00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:50.239 I do have three more things to add to your 892 00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:54.719 story about United health Care. Okay, you already informed everybody 893 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:58.679 about thirty one percent and stuff that Brian Thompson soul 894 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:02.440 taking in fifteen one million, as you said in proceeds, 895 00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:06.320 So now the other two things are in legal documents. 896 00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:10.639 Investigators said that Thompson and other company executives sold over 897 00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:13.639 one hundred and seventy million worth of United Healthcare common 898 00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:17.000 stock during the four month period when insiders knew about 899 00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:20.480 the federal antitrust investigation but the public did not know 900 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.280 about it yet. And the other things that are interesting 901 00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.000 about this is that on February twenty first of this year, 902 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:31.840 United Healthcare discovered a cybersecurity breach on the same day 903 00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.119 that Nancy Pelosi made her second purchase of Call options 904 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:39.679 in Power Auto Networks, which is a cybersecurity company that 905 00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:44.119 was later chosen to investigate the breach. And Thompson was 906 00:50:44.199 --> 00:50:47.239 ready to testify in front of Congress about United Healthcare's 907 00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:51.519 hacks as well as their business practices.

It's so cold the Cincinnai 954 00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.599 Public school kids can't even go to school today. How 955 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.440 did I work that in? Must be on my mind 956 00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:09.719 this morning. Anyway, USA Premium Film will dramatically improve the 957 00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:12.800 comfort of your home first day. It only takes less 958 00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:15.679 than a day to insulate the average home. Doesn't matter 959 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:17.519 what your home is built out of, brick, brick on block, 960 00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:20.079 shingle stucco siding. They inject the foam into the exterior 961 00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.320 walls of your home and you will notice the immediate 962 00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:25.719 change and comfort.

Probably because you 966 00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:34.920 don't have the right insulation. Usay's highest R value foam 967 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.679 on the market in the walls will go a long 968 00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:40.519 way to solving that problem.

A 1089 01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:05.000 County Ministry's proposed budget reduces funding for economic development slash 1090 01:00:05.119 --> 01:00:08.480 tourism grants from one point two to five million to 1091 01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:13.920 six hundred thousand dollars. Apparently, grant funding went last year 1092 01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:16.800 to Blank Flying Pig Marathon Forbes thirty under thirty in 1093 01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:19.920 the Cincinni Music Festival. They split that grant money up. 1094 01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:23.679 At a public hearing Tuesday this week, America river Roots 1095 01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:27.679 Festival organizer to ask the commissioners to reconsider coach air. 1096 01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:29.760 Tim Fogarty quoted as saying, in a year like twenty 1097 01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:32.800 twenty five, once again we will be without downtown Convention 1098 01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:35.320 Center events like American River Roots or Vital of the 1099 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:39.920 County's success. Thousands expected to gather on the banks for 1100 01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:43.760 that America River Roots festivals, celebrating the region's music, cuisine 1101 01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:48.199 and culture. So finite number of dollars and an infinite 1102 01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:51.679 number of things people want money for. Just a plain old, 1103 01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:54.960 simple reality. And go ahead and ask yourself how it 1104 01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:57.719 is that two inmates died in custody within one week 1105 01:00:57.760 --> 01:00:59.800 at the Hamilton County Justice Center. No one has any 1106 01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:04.960 ends yet. Fifty four years old Matthew Denlar died at 1107 01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:07.519 the Justice Center a last Thursday. I guess it was 1108 01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:10.840 the November twenty eighth, according to the department spokes first 1109 01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:14.000 in Kylo Woods again speaking well speaking with Cameron Knight 1110 01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.039 of the inquiry on this one, Thank you. Cameron. Admitted 1111 01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:20.960 to jail on Tuesday, November twenty sixth, Woods said Denlar 1112 01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:26.199 was had been arrested on open warrants. Woods said he 1113 01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:29.920 was found unresponsive Thursday in his cell. Officers and medical 1114 01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:32.760 staff attempted life saving measures. They were unsuccessful in that. 1115 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:36.639 Then we had Jacob Grayson. Twenty five year old Jacob 1116 01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:39.639 Grayson collapsed Wednesday in the common area of the pod. 1117 01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:42.719 That was last Wednesday, according to Woods. Officers and medical 1118 01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:45.159 staff responded. They took him to UC Medical centerhere he 1119 01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:48.920 later died. No report yet from the coroner's office, so 1120 01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:51.320 we don't know the actual date of his death. Court 1121 01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:54.360 documents say Grayson was arrested on the twenty fifth on 1122 01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:58.360 a probation violation. He had pleaded no contest possessing fenton 1123 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:02.239 or related compounds back in February, apparently parle violation because 1124 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:05.480 he tested positive for fentanyl and then failed to report 1125 01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:10.639 to the probation department. In July, Enquirer said that fourteen 1126 01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:13.320 people have died at the Hamletin County Justice Center between 1127 01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:16.360 August of twenty twenty and September twenty twenty three, so 1128 01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:19.000 they can add these two to the list. That's apparently growing. 1129 01:02:19.960 --> 01:02:22.000 Corner's office working to determine the cause of death for 1130 01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:27.159 both of the inmates.

Over to the phones, Al, 1185 01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:16.440 thank you for holding over the break. Welcome to the program. 1186 01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:20.679 Good morning, Brian. I appreciate you taking my call. I'm 1187 01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:24.079 generally a listener. I try not to speak too much, 1188 01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:30.719 but I felt somewhat moved to call after Larry made 1189 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:35.519 his comments about college, and I felt that there was 1190 01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:40.880 a need to add some context to you were my 1191 01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:45.840 and I'm sure many parents out there about college education. 1192 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:49.239 Okay, real quick, hold on, real quick, real quick. I 1193 01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:51.559 just I'm going to re ceute it so the listeners 1194 01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:54.840 who weren't listening earlier know what we're talking about. I 1195 01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:56.840 had made a very awful hand. I had made a 1196 01:05:56.920 --> 01:05:59.920 very off the cuff statement about the lack of value 1197 01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:03.239 of a college education without providing any context, and I 1198 01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:06.280 should have. And then he followed up and said, basically, 1199 01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:09.280 what do you mean by, you know what the valueless? 1200 01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.239 In essence? And I said, certain degrees I view as 1201 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:15.039 a colossal waste of time. Don't go into debt for, 1202 01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:17.360 for example, an art degree, because there's not a lot 1203 01:06:17.440 --> 01:06:20.840 of employment opportunities out there in the art world. Get 1204 01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:23.880 a degree, yes, definitely, if it's in the business realm 1205 01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:26.880 or the like, for engineering or other there are many 1206 01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:30.000 fields where a college degree is not only valuable, but 1207 01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:35.920 often absolutely required. So I thoughtful, you know, cost benefit 1208 01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:39.360 analysis is really what I've always advocated for, rather than 1209 01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:41.719 just saying I'm going to go to college and get, 1210 01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:44.079 for example, I my degree, a political science degree. If 1211 01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:46.039 that's all you're going to do, I don't recommend doing that, 1212 01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:48.599 so go ahead with your thoughts and comments on that 1213 01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:49.440 general topic. 1214 01:06:49.480 --> 01:06:54.920 Al okay, well, I appreciate that you know two points. 1215 01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:58.320 First of all, I had the experience of being in 1216 01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:02.159 the belly of the beast, actually cared for many of 1217 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:06.559 our young skulls full of mush at the medical center 1218 01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:11.239 at one of our esteemed public universities in Ohio. And 1219 01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:13.320 I did that for a couple of years. And I 1220 01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:16.440 made a point of asking each student that came in 1221 01:07:16.519 --> 01:07:19.960 to see me, why are you here? And the full 1222 01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:24.039 eighty five to ninety percent of the individuals that I 1223 01:07:24.159 --> 01:07:28.760 saw during my tenure gave me the same answer, and 1224 01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:34.960 that answer was to experience college. And what that left 1225 01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:42.840 me was WTF moment several times a day. And the 1226 01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:47.719 thing is, most of the foreign students, on the other hand, 1227 01:07:47.840 --> 01:07:52.880 actually came to this country to glean as much as 1228 01:07:52.920 --> 01:07:58.000 they could in some sort of stem subject there are 1229 01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:05.360 My thought is that many of the parents and many 1230 01:08:05.360 --> 01:08:10.800 of the students are taking on hundreds of thousands of 1231 01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:14.119 dollars in debt and getting nothing for. 1232 01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:15.760 It except four year party. 1233 01:08:17.359 --> 01:08:17.520 Right. 1234 01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:20.960 Absolutely, don't let your kids watch Animal House ever. 1235 01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:29.760 But no, I actually put three sons through school, and 1236 01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:35.079 I have three different results. My oldest son graduated with 1237 01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:43.520 a degree in political science actually diplomacy and Spanish. He 1238 01:08:43.680 --> 01:08:49.039 is now working the bank. My middle son graduated in 1239 01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:53.399 chemistry and he's actually using that degree. My youngest son 1240 01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:58.119 three years and his education process decided, hey, this isn't 1241 01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:02.920 for me, and I thanked him for dropping out, and 1242 01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:09.039 he is now climbing the rungs of a successful company 1243 01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:15.119 in Columbus and is now being put to school by 1244 01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:17.920 that company to learn exactly what he was trying to 1245 01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:20.720 learn in college, which was electrical engineering. 1246 01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:25.199 There you go, there you go. That's awesome. Yet me see, 1247 01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:28.560 your outcome is a great one. I guess the political 1248 01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:30.680 science backs up my comment. Your son who got a 1249 01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:33.479 political science is working at a bank, and bully for 1250 01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:35.520 him for getting a degree in Spanish as well. That 1251 01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:39.039 has wide broad application because so many people in the 1252 01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:42.840 world speak Spanish. But you know, excellent outcomes all three. 1253 01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:45.159 And I'm glad you called back up to or called 1254 01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:47.800 up to clarify that and give us your personal illustration 1255 01:09:47.920 --> 01:09:53.199 on that again thoughtful analysis. When you said eighty five 1256 01:09:53.239 --> 01:09:57.399 percent for the college experience, you know what someone had 1257 01:09:57.439 --> 01:09:59.479 set me down my first couple of weeks or months 1258 01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:02.880 in college, I might have given the same response because, 1259 01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:06.000 of course, in high school, yeah, I saw Animal House 1260 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:10.840 five six forty five, he talks, and I also had 1261 01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:14.079 older friends who were already involved in the college experience, 1262 01:10:14.119 --> 01:10:18.279 and most notably the fraternity life, which made me salivate 1263 01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:22.159 at the prospect of going to college really had nothing 1264 01:10:22.199 --> 01:10:23.840 to do with the degree that I was pursuing at 1265 01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:26.000 the time six forty five.

With Hunter Biden getting community fine, okay, 1341 01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:12.760 for the last ten years. Fine, Okay, you're dealing with 1342 01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:16.720 a lot of unsavory people, both in China, Ukraine, Russia, 1343 01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:20.359 the whole world, and you can't help but to think, 1344 01:14:20.520 --> 01:14:23.359 if he's going to be testifying, or if it's forced 1345 01:14:23.399 --> 01:14:26.079 to testify, if he's not going to wind up like 1346 01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:30.880 Marilyn Monroe or Jeffrey Epstein or somebody like that. You know, 1347 01:14:31.319 --> 01:14:34.479 he ode who would be shocked, you know. Oh yeah, 1348 01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:37.239 I'm not saying that's a good thing, but I see 1349 01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:43.119 some really bad scenarios coming up in the future for this. 1350 01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:45.159 You know, I got my popcorn out. 1351 01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:46.279 Actually, yeah, keep it up. 1352 01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:48.680 I'll still be done way or another, you. 1353 01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:51.039 Know, yeah, keep it out. I'm surprised you didn't bring 1354 01:14:51.119 --> 01:14:54.439 up Brian Thompson, the late CEO of United Health Group, 1355 01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:57.319 who was facing his own issues in terms of the 1356 01:14:57.720 --> 01:15:01.399 securities investigation he was involved with and got assassinated the 1357 01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:03.399 other day. So add that to the list. That's why 1358 01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:06.880 I was joking earlier with Maureen. My pattern observer. We 1359 01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:09.880 don't call it conspiracy theories anymore. We call it pattern observation, 1360 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:12.560 which is aligned with what you're talking about right now 1361 01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:15.800 that you know, maybe he was also on a pedophile 1362 01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:18.439 Island with Mike geb Er, with Epstein and maybe he 1363 01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:21.840 actually attended some of Ditty's white parties. Who knows the 1364 01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:25.119 details that guests come out. It's why we keep our 1365 01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:29.479 popcorn out at all times. Gary, great hearing from your brother. 1366 01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:32.239 Careful out there in that snow, watch up for school 1367 01:15:32.359 --> 01:15:34.359 children who aren't actually going to school. 1368 01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:34.960 You know. 1369 01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:36.439 I was thinking about this as we get over to 1370 01:15:36.439 --> 01:15:37.920 the top of the our news and talk to Lieukenant 1371 01:15:37.920 --> 01:15:40.000 gumnor John Houston about these bathroom bill and I don't 1372 01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:43.119 have any problem with it. I appreciate it, Jared, Gary, 1373 01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:46.720 I don't have any problem with keeping men in a 1374 01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:50.720 transgender women. I'd be a guy that believes to be 1375 01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:53.239 a woman, and I don't deny the existence of those folks, 1376 01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:54.880 and I don't deny what's going on in their head 1377 01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:58.119 makes them really believe that they're that particular sex. So, 1378 01:15:58.239 --> 01:15:59.840 in spite of the fact you got a twig and berries, 1379 01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:02.279 think inside your head that you're a woman and therefore 1380 01:16:02.279 --> 01:16:04.319 should be treated by like a woman and be allowed 1381 01:16:04.359 --> 01:16:06.680 to use women's facilities. At least that's the concept of 1382 01:16:06.760 --> 01:16:08.720 what's going on. That's why we have the bathroom Bill, 1383 01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:16.239 which prevents biological men, biological men from now using women's restrooms. 1384 01:16:17.399 --> 01:16:20.720 And I understand why that is offensive to some people, 1385 01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:23.760 me included not the bill itself or the law itself, 1386 01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:28.000 but the idea of biological men going into women's bathrooms. 1387 01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:31.479 Because I have a daughter, and I think of my 1388 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:34.840 daughter now twenty eight engaged. I'm so happy about that, 1389 01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:38.840 But as an eight year old, or a nine year old, 1390 01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:42.720 or a ten year old, any young lady, young person, 1391 01:16:42.920 --> 01:16:47.640 a girl. And I only bring that up again because 1392 01:16:47.680 --> 01:16:48.920 as we go over to the top of our news 1393 01:16:48.920 --> 01:16:55.800 and enter to this conversation with Lieutenant Governor, remember that 1394 01:16:56.199 --> 01:17:01.800 you are a transgender woman, in other words, of biological 1395 01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:04.039 male that believes to be a woman. That does not 1396 01:17:04.199 --> 01:17:10.079 define your sexuality. What you are drawn to sexually is 1397 01:17:10.239 --> 01:17:13.239 independent of what's going on in your head. So, for example, 1398 01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:18.399 if a transgender woman was attracted to women, and that 1399 01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:23.279 is certainly possible, right if they weren't a transgender woman, 1400 01:17:23.439 --> 01:17:30.239 that would make them a heterosexual male. Now, if you 1401 01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:33.600 are a heterosexual male, should you be allowed to use 1402 01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:37.760 women's facilities if you don't profess to be a woman. 1403 01:17:38.479 --> 01:17:41.760 Isn't that generally the concern that we you know, rational, 1404 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:46.279 common sense, chromosomally based, scientifically based people think about this. 1405 01:17:46.560 --> 01:17:49.680 You know, the idea of men being in women's bathrooms, 1406 01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.199 if you take the transgender woman label off of it, 1407 01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:56.680 you're talking about a guy going into a woman's bathroom. Now, 1408 01:17:56.720 --> 01:18:00.760 that guy may be attracted to men, in which case 1409 01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:04.399 the idea of them molesting your daughter is probably pretty low, 1410 01:18:04.600 --> 01:18:07.640 unless they're a pedophile or perhaps bisexual, in which case 1411 01:18:07.640 --> 01:18:11.359 they're attracted to everybody. It's a very complicated thing, But 1412 01:18:11.479 --> 01:18:18.640 it's not that there's a discrimination against a transgender woman necessarily, 1413 01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:22.319 so much as the idea of a girl being molested 1414 01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:27.000 by someone, which I suppose a woman could molest another 1415 01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:31.439 girl in the bathroom too, if a well trended lesbian 1416 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.680 right and guys. You know, over all these years where 1417 01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:37.560 there's been separate men's rooms and women's rooms, we have 1418 01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:40.319 may have been surrounded by gay men. I've been I'm 1419 01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:42.520 fifty nine years old. I don't know how many times 1420 01:18:42.600 --> 01:18:45.319 that happened, and I'm guessing it's happened a gazillion times. 1421 01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:48.760 I never got touched, Nobody ever tried to lay a 1422 01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:50.880 finger on me. I never got hit on in a bathroom. 1423 01:18:50.880 --> 01:18:52.680 Maybe it's just because I have a face for radio. 1424 01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:55.560 I don't know. But that's the reality that we're dealing 1425 01:18:55.640 --> 01:19:01.760 with here. So it's a question of one's sexual proclivities 1426 01:19:01.920 --> 01:19:05.359 cloaked under the veil of this idea that you can 1427 01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:09.119 be a gender that you're not. So whether or not 1428 01:19:09.279 --> 01:19:12.560 you believe that you can be a gender that you're 1429 01:19:12.680 --> 01:19:15.920 not doesn't take out of the equation the whole concept 1430 01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:21.399 of one's sexual proclivities.

So, John Huston, 1447 01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:13.720 it's always a pleasure speaking with you. 1448 01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:16.439 Great to be with you this morning. 1449 01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:19.520 Okay, let's start with an interesting thought question, shall we 1450 01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:22.640 before we get to the details. Basically, the bathroom bill 1451 01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:25.399 requires you know, if you when you are born, you're 1452 01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:28.439 as signed agender X and Y chromosome, you're a guy, period, 1453 01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:32.359 end of story. That scientific reality. So that means you 1454 01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:35.680 can't go into a women's bathroom K through twelve and 1455 01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:39.119 higher education. That's basically the summoned substance. You know, boys 1456 01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:41.720 going to boys rooms, girls going to girls rooms. But 1457 01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:48.680 transgender women means you are a X Y gender male. 1458 01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:51.680 But believe and I'm not going to deny your belief structure, 1459 01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:55.960 but believe yourself to be a woman. Question, John, you said, 1460 01:20:56.079 --> 01:21:00.479 if you what test is there? This is why I 1461 01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:02.840 justify the bill and think it's appropriate. What does it 1462 01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:07.760 take to become a designated true transgender female? And I'm 1463 01:21:07.800 --> 01:21:10.479 thinking about this in the context of the COVID nineteen 1464 01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:14.840 religious exemptions for vaccines. They started asking people questions about 1465 01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:17.359 how often they went to church, what they believed in. 1466 01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:21.520 There was all these layers, which was totally unconstitutional. But 1467 01:21:21.800 --> 01:21:27.840 does anybody ever ask the transgender female, did you just 1468 01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:30.199 declare this before you went into the bathroom? Is that 1469 01:21:30.439 --> 01:21:32.119 enough to allow you to get in the bathroom. This 1470 01:21:32.199 --> 01:21:34.439 is the kind of problem we face because I have 1471 01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:36.880 a daughter, and it worries the hell out of me 1472 01:21:37.319 --> 01:21:39.479 that a guy, a forty year old guy, who just 1473 01:21:39.560 --> 01:21:41.560 stands up one day, holds his hands up and says, 1474 01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:43.560 I'm a transgender female. It's going to be in a 1475 01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:48.159 bathroom with her. You know what I'm saying, Amen, I do. 1476 01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:52.199 It is really unbelievable that we're at a point in 1477 01:21:52.960 --> 01:21:55.960 the world where we actually need a law like this 1478 01:21:56.239 --> 01:21:59.760 where it says to you know, if you're a biological 1479 01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:03.199 man at birth, then you will go to the boys 1480 01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:07.079 or men's bathroom, and likewise if you're a female. 1481 01:22:07.760 --> 01:22:09.279 That is common sense. 1482 01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:12.000 That is what I mean. 1483 01:22:13.239 --> 01:22:17.159 For all of my life fifty seven now and all 1484 01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.960 of my life up until what five ten years ago, 1485 01:22:22.279 --> 01:22:25.840 like this was how we all, like no one questioned 1486 01:22:25.840 --> 01:22:28.560 that this is what we should do, right, And now 1487 01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:30.880 all of a sudden, Now, all of a sudden, we 1488 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:35.600 think men can play women's sports, they can undress in 1489 01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:41.560 their locker rooms, they can use their bathrooms, forty year 1490 01:22:41.600 --> 01:22:44.000 old men going into the same bathroom with a ten 1491 01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:48.439 year old girl, not you know, your teenage daughters not 1492 01:22:48.680 --> 01:22:53.760 having a private space to I mean, it's just all 1493 01:22:53.840 --> 01:22:55.199 of these kinds of things that. 1494 01:22:56.680 --> 01:22:57.960 Literally we have a. 1495 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:04.359 Section of society that believes that that the whole world, 1496 01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:10.239 a whole history of humanity, should be changed over how 1497 01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:14.920 someone views their gender in their mind. 1498 01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:18.279 Yeah, you know, and it makes it and it makes 1499 01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:20.600 it worse because you know, it's one thing because okay, 1500 01:23:20.680 --> 01:23:22.640 someone might say, well, there's a stall and you're not 1501 01:23:22.680 --> 01:23:25.199 going to be looking at someone's junk or whatever. This 1502 01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:28.960 includes showers, this is locker rooms. 1503 01:23:28.840 --> 01:23:32.359 This is okay, I'm telling you. 1504 01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:34.840 You I wouldn't. 1505 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:38.079 I was, actually, you know, I was in disbelief that 1506 01:23:38.279 --> 01:23:39.600 this was happening, Like I was. 1507 01:23:39.800 --> 01:23:40.560 It was hard to believe. 1508 01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:43.840 But I remember my one of the conversations I had 1509 01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:47.279 with Riley Gains, the Kentucky swimmer who has been really 1510 01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:52.239 outspoken on this because she'd lost she'd lost a a 1511 01:23:52.800 --> 01:23:57.000 NCAA championship to a man who claimed to be a 1512 01:23:57.079 --> 01:24:00.920 woman and swam in a women's meat in NCAA let 1513 01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:04.600 him happen. She said that she was in the locker 1514 01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:10.840 room with this man who had full male gentle talia, yeah, 1515 01:24:11.079 --> 01:24:14.039 and was in the locker room undressing and is going 1516 01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:17.279 to swim in the women's meat. And like, how in 1517 01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:22.399 the world adults around this process could ever come to 1518 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:26.159 conclusion that that was okay, that this was that the 1519 01:24:26.239 --> 01:24:28.760 whole rest of the world should change and accommodate. That 1520 01:24:30.039 --> 01:24:32.720 really is what led to the need for these laws. 1521 01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:35.439 Well, and I'm glad they're in place in Ohio now. 1522 01:24:35.560 --> 01:24:38.479 Now the other component of this, and it's something that's 1523 01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:41.439 quite often overlooked, I think the presumption the arguments from 1524 01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:43.479 you know, those who are going to appeal this law, 1525 01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:46.439 like the ACLU and the LGBT activist group were going 1526 01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:51.039 to claim it's unconstitutional or something. The idea of a 1527 01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:55.279 transgender woman again, a guy believing in his heart or 1528 01:24:55.359 --> 01:24:57.439 her heart of hearts whatever, that they are Indeed, a 1529 01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:01.039 woman does not in any way, shape or for determine 1530 01:25:01.119 --> 01:25:04.720 what their sexual proclivities are. In other words, they could 1531 01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:08.039 be attracted to women even though they identify as a woman. 1532 01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:10.439 Meaning there is a forty five year old guy with 1533 01:25:10.600 --> 01:25:13.720 full junk in the locker room and it's still attracted 1534 01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:16.439 to women. That's the creepy part. Now, I know I've 1535 01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:18.279 been in bathrooms. I'm fifty nine, it's a little bit 1536 01:25:18.279 --> 01:25:20.199 older than you. And I'm sure that all throughout my 1537 01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:23.039 life there have been gay men in the bathroom. Never 1538 01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:25.600 had an issue, no problem, never been molested or attack. 1539 01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:27.920 But I'm also in a better position to defend myself 1540 01:25:27.960 --> 01:25:30.359 because I'm a little bit on equal footing with them. 1541 01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:32.880 As you point out with Riley Gaines, men have a 1542 01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:38.199 substantial size and strength advantage over women generally speaking, putting 1543 01:25:38.319 --> 01:25:41.560 women at a significant disadvantage if they're in a situation 1544 01:25:41.600 --> 01:25:43.840 where they're someone's trying to molest them in the in 1545 01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:44.920 the girl's bathroom. 1546 01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:50.760 Yes, and look, there are plenty of ways that we 1547 01:25:51.359 --> 01:25:56.960 because I acknowledge that, Okay, there's a small percentage of 1548 01:25:57.039 --> 01:26:01.239 people who have gender identity issue, y in a buck, 1549 01:26:01.520 --> 01:26:05.000 call it what you want, okay, uh, And and there 1550 01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:09.880 are you know, we have men's restrooms, we have women's restrooms, 1551 01:26:09.880 --> 01:26:12.760 and then we have these single use family restrooms or 1552 01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:16.319 where where where an individual can go into those and 1553 01:26:16.800 --> 01:26:18.760 change or go to the bathroom do And those are 1554 01:26:18.840 --> 01:26:23.159 perfectly appropriate accommodations for somebody in that situation. But the 1555 01:26:23.279 --> 01:26:29.640 rest of the world should not have to accommodate something 1556 01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:34.359 that makes them feel uncomfortable or threatens their privacy. And 1557 01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:38.520 so this is a very common sense way to deal 1558 01:26:38.600 --> 01:26:41.960 with the issue, in my opinion. And look, this is, 1559 01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:48.199 as you well know, the whole issue of transgender surgeries 1560 01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:52.159 and treatment for minors was before the US Supreme Court 1561 01:26:52.279 --> 01:26:55.279 yesterday challenging a Tennessee law that's similar. 1562 01:26:55.000 --> 01:26:56.000 To the Ohio law. 1563 01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:00.479 Uh, you know the idea, because we're learning more all 1564 01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:04.680 the time about the the fact that there are young 1565 01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:08.720 people who've been persuaded to have these gender trans uh 1566 01:27:09.359 --> 01:27:17.119 transgender surgeries and chemical hormonal treatments who had them as 1567 01:27:17.159 --> 01:27:20.960 a youth and now as adults, really regret having done 1568 01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:25.159 that because they were just confused. They might have been gay, 1569 01:27:25.279 --> 01:27:29.119 but they were not transgender. Somehow the medical professionals or 1570 01:27:29.159 --> 01:27:31.359 the adults in their lives persuaded them to do this, 1571 01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:35.600 and now they have irreversible situation as adults. And so 1572 01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:41.760 this is this is an issue about protecting everybody. They 1573 01:27:41.880 --> 01:27:52.159 might giving giving transgender individuals, particularly children, accommodations, but let's 1574 01:27:52.239 --> 01:27:55.760 not go too far with this, particularly with kids. 1575 01:27:56.039 --> 01:27:58.159 And I'm not certain and I do not believe it 1576 01:27:58.319 --> 01:28:00.560 is the town count of John Hyson that it is 1577 01:28:00.680 --> 01:28:07.079 the considered medical standard of care to start giving youth, 1578 01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:12.439 you know, pre pubescent youth gender hormone surge replacements to 1579 01:28:12.560 --> 01:28:16.239 keep them from advancing into puberty or otherwise lopping things 1580 01:28:16.319 --> 01:28:19.159 off or sewing things on. That is a dispute within 1581 01:28:19.239 --> 01:28:20.239 the medical community. 1582 01:28:20.800 --> 01:28:24.279 Oh, absolutely, And there's a lot of evidence, a lot 1583 01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:27.640 of evidence that it's in the aggregate doing more harm 1584 01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:31.359 than good. And understand like not to get into them. 1585 01:28:31.359 --> 01:28:35.239 I'm not a doctor, but i will share I've done 1586 01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:37.479 a lot of reading and listen to a lot of 1587 01:28:37.560 --> 01:28:40.760 smart people on this topic who will tell you that 1588 01:28:40.840 --> 01:28:43.039 if you do this to a child and they do 1589 01:28:43.199 --> 01:28:47.640 not go through puberty, that is an irreversible situation for 1590 01:28:47.840 --> 01:28:53.079 them as an adult. And let adults make those decisions. 1591 01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:57.319 Don't have adults making them for children, particularly at very 1592 01:28:57.479 --> 01:28:59.439 very young ages, which was where we're seeing a lot 1593 01:28:59.479 --> 01:28:59.920 of this happen. 1594 01:29:00.479 --> 01:29:03.039 Amen thenago and who said, let's pivot over to something 1595 01:29:03.119 --> 01:29:04.920 positive and what we're doing here in the state of Ohio. 1596 01:29:05.000 --> 01:29:07.640 And I know you have a personal connection with the 1597 01:29:07.720 --> 01:29:10.239 idea that you know they're in. There are unplanned pregnancies 1598 01:29:10.279 --> 01:29:12.439 in the world and we need to help support those 1599 01:29:12.520 --> 01:29:15.279 women in all way shapes and forms this National Adoption Month. 1600 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:17.920 And I know you're an outspoken advocate for adoption on this. 1601 01:29:18.039 --> 01:29:19.520 You want to explain to my listeners how it is 1602 01:29:19.640 --> 01:29:21.199 you have such a close connection. 1603 01:29:22.279 --> 01:29:23.640 Yeah, well, I was. 1604 01:29:24.560 --> 01:29:27.279 I was adopted. I started out life in a foster home. 1605 01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:32.039 My birth mother had had two children and lost her 1606 01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:35.399 husband in Vietnam, and then became pregnant and didn't couldn't 1607 01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:39.000 afford another mouth to feed, and decided to have an adoption. 1608 01:29:39.159 --> 01:29:41.600 And I started out life in a foster home and 1609 01:29:41.640 --> 01:29:44.359 then had the greatest blessing that could have ever happened 1610 01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:47.119 to me. Two great parents, my mom and dad, Jim 1611 01:29:47.159 --> 01:29:51.359 and Judy Houston, adopted me. And so this is very 1612 01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:54.279 near and dear to my heart because I know that 1613 01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:59.319 foster care and adoption changed lives, not just the lives 1614 01:29:59.359 --> 01:30:02.000 and children. Every adult who tells you that they've done 1615 01:30:02.039 --> 01:30:06.039 it will say it changed our life too. Having this 1616 01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:10.000 child in our lives made it more purposeful and meaningful, 1617 01:30:10.079 --> 01:30:13.359 and so everything that we can do to promote adoption. 1618 01:30:13.560 --> 01:30:17.079 We have over three thousand kids in foster care right 1619 01:30:17.159 --> 01:30:21.479 now waiting for us forever home, and we want to 1620 01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:24.800 support that and we want to do all we can 1621 01:30:24.880 --> 01:30:28.319 to support adoption and foster care because there's so many 1622 01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:32.520 kids who, through no fault of their own, find themselves 1623 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:38.680 in just a terrible situation and they need the love 1624 01:30:38.760 --> 01:30:40.760 of adults. I mean, I will tell you this, I 1625 01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:43.960 tell that story. It's not really about me. It's about 1626 01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:47.640 how an adult can change the life of a child 1627 01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:50.279 and give them a chance that they would have never 1628 01:30:50.399 --> 01:30:50.920 had before. 1629 01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:53.600 I mean, think about that. I am talking with the 1630 01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:57.479 Lieutenant governor of the state of Ohio who came from 1631 01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:00.279 a foster home and was adopted. What an amazing thing. 1632 01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:02.680 I mean, your life is completely transformed, you know what. 1633 01:31:02.760 --> 01:31:06.119 I think there needs to be greater advocacy for adoption, 1634 01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:08.000 and we hear about adoption from time to time, and 1635 01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:10.520 I'm glad you're elevating it to this level of discussion 1636 01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:12.479 we're having here on the Morning Show. But you know, 1637 01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:16.680 planned parenthood is everywhere they promote abortion, they suggest, oh 1638 01:31:16.720 --> 01:31:18.319 you have to get an abortion. You're never gonna You 1639 01:31:18.319 --> 01:31:20.600 shouldn't bring that baby in a full, full term, you 1640 01:31:20.640 --> 01:31:24.199 shouldn't have it. They're like constantly all over the place, 1641 01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:27.680 just scream in that tune you know, wonder you wonder 1642 01:31:27.720 --> 01:31:30.760 where the chorus is of Wait. A second adoption is 1643 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:34.560 a wonderful option, and great things come from families who 1644 01:31:34.600 --> 01:31:36.159 adopt young people that are in need. 1645 01:31:36.079 --> 01:31:36.479 Of a home. 1646 01:31:37.640 --> 01:31:37.840 Yeah. 1647 01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:41.520 Look, there are local women's and pregnancy centers because look, 1648 01:31:41.560 --> 01:31:44.920 we had a constitutional amendment in Ohio. Abortions are allowed 1649 01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:51.039 under the Ohio Constitution now basically you know, I mean 1650 01:31:51.560 --> 01:31:54.279 it's one of the most expansive abortion laws in the country. 1651 01:31:54.359 --> 01:31:54.479 Now. 1652 01:31:54.760 --> 01:31:57.239 Yeah, and so we have to change hearts and minds. 1653 01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:01.399 It's our only path right now. And so no, if 1654 01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.840 you're a man who's involved with this, a woman who's 1655 01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:07.960 involved with this, the parent, somebody, that there is support 1656 01:32:08.119 --> 01:32:12.279 out there through these women's and pregnancy centers. They're just 1657 01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:15.560 the women I've met, particularly women I've met who run 1658 01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:19.520 these things, who run these pregnancy centers. They are there 1659 01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:22.000 for you. They will help you through this process. They 1660 01:32:22.039 --> 01:32:26.239 will make sure that you're getting the healthcare before your 1661 01:32:26.279 --> 01:32:28.760 baby's born. That they have a plan for you to 1662 01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:31.399 make sure you have the resources you need to support 1663 01:32:31.800 --> 01:32:34.279 a healthy start for that baby, and connect you with 1664 01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:36.319 the resources are out there. You're not alone in this. 1665 01:32:37.000 --> 01:32:39.960 You're not alone. There are people who want to help 1666 01:32:40.079 --> 01:32:41.600 you have a healthy baby. 1667 01:32:42.279 --> 01:32:45.520 Truly, there are, and the resources are available. Sometimes you 1668 01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:48.640 just have to search for them. And because quite often 1669 01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:51.359 the other side has a much better advocacy thing going 1670 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:52.399 on for you as. 1671 01:32:55.199 --> 01:32:58.199 Your local pregnancy center. For the most part, if you 1672 01:32:58.680 --> 01:33:02.640 go into a search engine, say you know, try to 1673 01:33:02.680 --> 01:33:06.119 find a local pregnancy center, pregnancy center closest to me. 1674 01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:11.279 You can also use search words like adoption or support 1675 01:33:11.399 --> 01:33:14.760 for you know, young mothers, and you'll find it out there. 1676 01:33:14.880 --> 01:33:15.600 They're they're all. 1677 01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:17.479 They're located all across the state. 1678 01:33:17.840 --> 01:33:21.000 They don't have they don't have the promotional budget that 1679 01:33:21.119 --> 01:33:25.600 Planned Parenthood does, but they are out there.

Welcome 1755 01:37:07.399 --> 01:37:11.399 back Donovan, and Happy Friday Eve to you. Brian, happy 1756 01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:13.520 to be back with you. Hopings are going well. They 1757 01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:16.479 are going great in that holiday spirit, and I feel 1758 01:37:16.520 --> 01:37:18.399 like it's not going to go away, so which is 1759 01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:22.079 just putting a little extra spring them a step these 1760 01:37:22.239 --> 01:37:25.840 late days now. I love the topic of conversation and 1761 01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:28.680 I hope it's all positive because I am a huge 1762 01:37:28.800 --> 01:37:32.760 proponent of school choice, recognizing that the public schools in 1763 01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:35.720 many cases not all my children went to public schools, 1764 01:37:35.720 --> 01:37:37.680 and so of why we both came out okay from 1765 01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:40.399 my perspective anyway, but some of the public schools are 1766 01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:44.920 literally failing our children, and many children basically are trapped 1767 01:37:45.079 --> 01:37:49.119 in them with no alternatives. I like the concept, at 1768 01:37:49.199 --> 01:37:51.840 least on some level. And the devil is always in 1769 01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:55.760 the details of, you know, letting the money follow the child. 1770 01:37:56.399 --> 01:37:58.520 So those who are on life's margins, who might not 1771 01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:01.600 necessarily be able to afford, like so many in the 1772 01:38:01.720 --> 01:38:05.479 public education system, do send their children to private schools. 1773 01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:08.359 Can't necessarily do that. But if the public money were 1774 01:38:08.399 --> 01:38:09.960 able to follow the child, that would give them a 1775 01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:12.439 lot more flexibility. It doesn't prevent them from going to 1776 01:38:12.520 --> 01:38:14.920 public schools. Of course, some of them are a magnet. 1777 01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:18.119 But there are other options out there, and some children 1778 01:38:18.159 --> 01:38:20.479 would and parents would certainly welcome the option of a 1779 01:38:20.560 --> 01:38:23.800 different alternative. I can't I don't understand, Donovan, how this 1780 01:38:24.000 --> 01:38:27.039 bears a political stripe unless you're a member of one 1781 01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:32.000 of the public teachers' unions. Beyond that, Democrat, Republican, Socialist, Communist, 1782 01:38:32.119 --> 01:38:35.239 Green Party, doesn't matter. If you've got kids, don't you 1783 01:38:35.319 --> 01:38:35.960 want choice? 1784 01:38:37.800 --> 01:38:38.000 Yeah? 1785 01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:40.520 I mean, I think that's what you find right when 1786 01:38:40.520 --> 01:38:45.279 you actually begin to have conversations with folks on a 1787 01:38:45.399 --> 01:38:48.319 level of hey, how do we unleash as much education 1788 01:38:48.439 --> 01:38:53.560 opportunity in every student, every kid possible to ensure we 1789 01:38:53.680 --> 01:38:58.079 have the greatest opportunities not just for our country in 1790 01:38:58.079 --> 01:38:59.760 the future, but for every. 1791 01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:00.479 Person lives here. 1792 01:39:00.600 --> 01:39:05.119 And yeah, the large bulk of the opposition really truly 1793 01:39:05.199 --> 01:39:07.960 does come from the teachers unions. And don't want to 1794 01:39:07.960 --> 01:39:12.720 be clear, that's not necessarily the teachers. It's the administrators, right, 1795 01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:14.800 It's the bosses, It's the folks who've been out of 1796 01:39:14.840 --> 01:39:17.239 the classroom for a long time and make their living 1797 01:39:17.479 --> 01:39:21.439 off of forced unionization wages. Those are the largest opponents 1798 01:39:22.039 --> 01:39:24.520 of education opportunity. And then I think you have another 1799 01:39:24.600 --> 01:39:28.319 group of folks who are afraid of competition. They just 1800 01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:32.479 are afraid of competition, and when they see an opportunity 1801 01:39:32.560 --> 01:39:35.239 for them to lose control, they kick back. 1802 01:39:35.439 --> 01:39:40.479 And on the whole though, I think we are the momentums. 1803 01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:42.159 Behind the folks who are pushing for school choice, who 1804 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:46.600 are pushing for education opportunity, who are pushing for empowering parents, 1805 01:39:46.640 --> 01:39:50.920 empowering families to make the best education choices. 1806 01:39:50.920 --> 01:39:54.159 For their kids and their future. Now it sounds like 1807 01:39:54.359 --> 01:39:56.479 probably could have a whole big bunch of people, Like 1808 01:39:56.560 --> 01:39:59.800 I said, political affiliation doesn't matter here. Everyone should be 1809 01:39:59.800 --> 01:40:02.399 in racing this. So where's the hold of what's stopping 1810 01:40:02.520 --> 01:40:05.479 us from advancing this kind of concept? Has it been 1811 01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:09.359 tried elsewhere and being it has been proven successful elsewhere, 1812 01:40:09.920 --> 01:40:12.520 What's what's your response to that, generally speaking? 1813 01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:15.760 Yeah, well, so part of the challenge I think is 1814 01:40:17.720 --> 01:40:21.439 momentum is kind of reminding folks where change needs to happen. 1815 01:40:21.479 --> 01:40:24.000 And so that's part of what we did just yesterday 1816 01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:28.000 this week, we brought about a dozen of our top activists, 1817 01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:30.960 top volunteers from across the state to the state House 1818 01:40:31.680 --> 01:40:33.720 for a day at the capitol to start laying a 1819 01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:36.279 foundation for next year. Because we talked to lawmakers right 1820 01:40:36.319 --> 01:40:37.640 and they've got a lot of it. 1821 01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:38.479 There's hundreds of. 1822 01:40:38.479 --> 01:40:41.239 Bills Brian of course at the state Capitol, and so 1823 01:40:41.399 --> 01:40:43.920 they are juggling a lot of different pieces of information 1824 01:40:44.039 --> 01:40:47.119 and inputs. And what we've got to do is remind 1825 01:40:47.199 --> 01:40:49.520 him because they'll say, hey, we I thought we expanded 1826 01:40:49.560 --> 01:40:53.079 school choice already this session, and we now have you know, 1827 01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:55.039 anybody who wants to take an edge choice doctor can 1828 01:40:55.119 --> 01:40:57.319 do that, and aren't we already in pretty good shape? 1829 01:40:57.359 --> 01:41:00.319 And we could say yeah, largely, but there are forms 1830 01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:01.760 that need to happen. Still, we need to make it 1831 01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:05.279 easier for folks to be able to take your kid from. 1832 01:41:05.159 --> 01:41:06.159 One school to another. 1833 01:41:06.239 --> 01:41:10.039 We need to limit the amount of paperwork and bureaucracy 1834 01:41:10.159 --> 01:41:13.079 that a parent has to go through to make that decision. 1835 01:41:13.119 --> 01:41:15.239 And so we brought those activists to the State House 1836 01:41:15.560 --> 01:41:17.239 to be in a Layou foundation and say, hey, here 1837 01:41:17.279 --> 01:41:19.039 are the things we need to do. 1838 01:41:19.720 --> 01:41:21.560 Start thinking about for next year. 1839 01:41:22.279 --> 01:41:24.840 When everybody comes in bright eyed and bush retailed after 1840 01:41:24.840 --> 01:41:26.760 the holidays and ready to get work done in one 1841 01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:29.319 hundred and thirty sixth General Assembly. 1842 01:41:29.359 --> 01:41:32.399 Has the issue of school funding generally come up in 1843 01:41:32.439 --> 01:41:35.800 these conversations because in Ohio, apparently I keep going back 1844 01:41:35.840 --> 01:41:38.560 to the Supreme Court case from apparently like twenty years ago, 1845 01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:42.319 which said the funding mechanisms for schools is unconstitutional. And 1846 01:41:42.439 --> 01:41:45.000 yet fast forward twenty years here we are when the 1847 01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:48.039 funding mechanism hasn't changed any sort of property tax base. 1848 01:41:48.079 --> 01:41:52.239 We understand, But does that conversation and funding mechanism ever 1849 01:41:52.319 --> 01:41:54.760 come up when you're having the conversations about the idea 1850 01:41:54.840 --> 01:41:55.479 of choice. 1851 01:41:57.119 --> 01:41:59.520 Yeah, it's one of the common areas, and especially with 1852 01:41:59.600 --> 01:42:02.199 our friends who are fiscally conservative, and wanting to make 1853 01:42:02.239 --> 01:42:05.439 sure Hey, look they're you know, they were elected to 1854 01:42:05.880 --> 01:42:09.159 make sure that the state of Ohio uses its tax 1855 01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:11.720 dollars in a fiscally responsible manner. 1856 01:42:11.800 --> 01:42:13.520 That's that's an honorable position. 1857 01:42:13.279 --> 01:42:13.600 To be in. 1858 01:42:14.760 --> 01:42:18.960 The other concern, though, is in the local dollars and 1859 01:42:19.039 --> 01:42:23.399 making sure that we're not starving our public government schools 1860 01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:25.760 in our communities. Right, and so a lot of the 1861 01:42:25.840 --> 01:42:28.000 discussion when we talk about, hey, we need this money 1862 01:42:28.079 --> 01:42:30.520 for ed choice, or we need this money for backpack, 1863 01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:34.119 build a fund these programs like universally essays, all we 1864 01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:38.119 were ever talking about is the state share of that money. 1865 01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:41.279 It would have no impact on any of the local 1866 01:42:41.359 --> 01:42:44.560 dollars rays that go to the local schools. What we're 1867 01:42:44.600 --> 01:42:47.119 talking about is that money that everybody pays in through 1868 01:42:47.199 --> 01:42:50.560 sales tax, income tax, and otherwise the state brings together 1869 01:42:50.920 --> 01:42:53.880 and then redistributes across the state to school districts. We 1870 01:42:54.039 --> 01:42:56.319 think that money, right, Yeah, that money that comes from 1871 01:42:56.359 --> 01:42:58.039 the state should follow the kids, so it stays in 1872 01:42:58.159 --> 01:43:01.239 the education system and in fact is viewed as I say, 1873 01:43:01.279 --> 01:43:04.600 at a frontline education dollars, it goes in that kid's backpack, 1874 01:43:04.680 --> 01:43:07.079 it follows that student wherever they're getting their education in 1875 01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:09.359 the state of Ohio. So we're not taking money out 1876 01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:12.000 of education. We're just making that money a little more 1877 01:43:12.079 --> 01:43:15.000 flexible to follow the student where that student. 1878 01:43:14.760 --> 01:43:18.600 Can get the best education opportunity possible. Okay, Now, putting 1879 01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:20.760 yourself in as difficult as it may be, Donald and 1880 01:43:20.840 --> 01:43:24.279 Neil for Americans for prosperity, putting yourself in the shoes 1881 01:43:24.359 --> 01:43:28.159 of someone who is against that concept. What are their 1882 01:43:28.279 --> 01:43:31.319 primary arguments? Since you've already addressed the idea of starving 1883 01:43:31.399 --> 01:43:34.039 local schools, that's not what you are talking about. So 1884 01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:37.239 what arguments are they left with to oppose this concept? 1885 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:42.520 Well, the argument that many of our opponents will make are, 1886 01:43:43.039 --> 01:43:44.680 we don't know what these kids are going to be taught. 1887 01:43:44.760 --> 01:43:46.720 Do we know that they're getting as good of an education. 1888 01:43:52.159 --> 01:43:53.439 Do we know that they're going to get as good 1889 01:43:53.479 --> 01:43:57.920 of an education as the school down the road compared 1890 01:43:57.960 --> 01:44:00.479 to the government school, the public school, but that you know, 1891 01:44:01.079 --> 01:44:02.399 is also on the other side of town. 1892 01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:03.960 And our argument is. 1893 01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:08.520 The parents decide that right like. The reason this is 1894 01:44:08.600 --> 01:44:12.760 in such demand is because for years we look at 1895 01:44:12.800 --> 01:44:15.720 report card at a report card, both students report cards 1896 01:44:15.760 --> 01:44:17.760 and school report cards, no matter how you slice or 1897 01:44:17.800 --> 01:44:20.880 dice them. We're not meeting standards. We're falling behind. And 1898 01:44:20.920 --> 01:44:23.880 that's not just an Ohio problem, it's an American product 1899 01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:24.800 across the country. 1900 01:44:24.880 --> 01:44:25.000 Right. 1901 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:28.720 It's why it was an issue during the federal presidential 1902 01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:31.479 election this year. Right, We've got to do better. And 1903 01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:34.159 so the best way to ensure we think parents are 1904 01:44:34.159 --> 01:44:36.119 the best accountability driver. Will put it that way, parents 1905 01:44:36.159 --> 01:44:37.399 are the best acount of the drive. When they see 1906 01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:39.760 their kids report card, when they see their kids struggling, 1907 01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:42.039 when they see their kid having suicidal thoughts, when they 1908 01:44:42.039 --> 01:44:45.319 see their kid dealing with substance abuse, they're. 1909 01:44:45.159 --> 01:44:47.079 Going to move that kid from that environment. 1910 01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:47.319 Right. 1911 01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:51.359 And what empowering families with choice does is gives the 1912 01:44:51.520 --> 01:44:54.359 parent the ability to make that shift to put them 1913 01:44:54.399 --> 01:44:56.560 in a school that's going to meet their needs. Every 1914 01:44:56.600 --> 01:45:03.399 student's unique school choice empowers to make those choices. And again, 1915 01:45:03.800 --> 01:45:06.319 can't say it enough. Parents are the best accountability measure, 1916 01:45:06.439 --> 01:45:08.840 well question one page document. 1917 01:45:08.960 --> 01:45:10.880 And it is going to do better than that. And 1918 01:45:11.119 --> 01:45:13.359 again I always go back to I think most of 1919 01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:16.760 society's problems may be just built upon the concept that 1920 01:45:16.800 --> 01:45:19.800 the nuclear family has basically disappeared in large part and 1921 01:45:20.199 --> 01:45:25.640 there aren't too caring and concerned parents at home who 1922 01:45:25.840 --> 01:45:28.720 you know, putting attention towards what their children are learning 1923 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:30.720 or not, as the case may be, let alone where 1924 01:45:30.760 --> 01:45:33.239 they might be at midnight on a Tuesday. But that 1925 01:45:33.359 --> 01:45:36.000 is a broader societal problem. But I embrace what you're 1926 01:45:36.039 --> 01:45:38.479 talking about. Of course, I appreciate Americans for prosperity, for 1927 01:45:38.560 --> 01:45:40.399 what they're doing in connection with the work on this. 1928 01:45:40.520 --> 01:45:43.439 What can my listeners do to help get behind this effort? 1929 01:45:43.479 --> 01:45:45.239 And I'm going to assume that most of my listeners 1930 01:45:45.399 --> 01:45:47.319 share our thoughts on school choice. 1931 01:45:48.640 --> 01:45:51.479 Yeah, so we're coming up on a really busy time 1932 01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:54.359 of year. It's Ohio's budget season from January one through 1933 01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:58.239 June thirtieth or next year.

I'm looking forward 2027 01:50:08.920 --> 01:50:11.680 to having William Hazelgrove on the program. It's got a 2028 01:50:11.760 --> 01:50:16.359 new book out Dead Air The Night orson Wells Terrified America. 2029 01:50:16.680 --> 01:50:20.560 So what an amazing thing that wash And in a 2030 01:50:20.640 --> 01:50:24.079 world pre social media, just think about our news reporting 2031 01:50:24.159 --> 01:50:25.960 these days. And I'm old enough to remember when you 2032 01:50:26.000 --> 01:50:29.399 had CBSNBC and ABC and everybody just sort of intently 2033 01:50:29.439 --> 01:50:31.600 listened to what Walter cronkit Tech said and took it 2034 01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:34.760 at face value. That's what you got. You couldn't search 2035 01:50:34.840 --> 01:50:37.319 for yourself, and he had the opportunity to decide and 2036 01:50:37.399 --> 01:50:41.640 pick and choose what information you actually got. There was 2037 01:50:41.640 --> 01:50:44.760 as much information, legislation and issues going on back when 2038 01:50:44.800 --> 01:50:46.920 Walter Cronkite was giving it to you in a half 2039 01:50:47.000 --> 01:50:49.800 hour as there is right now, and Lord Almighty, you 2040 01:50:49.840 --> 01:50:52.680 can't keep track of it with the unlimited resources we 2041 01:50:52.760 --> 01:50:54.720 now have to access to try to figure out what's 2042 01:50:54.760 --> 01:50:58.279 going on in the world, truthful or not anyway. So 2043 01:50:58.399 --> 01:51:00.560 that's gonna be fun after Top of our News. Ratliffe 2044 01:51:00.560 --> 01:51:03.000 always fun. I heard media aviation expert we're talking about 2045 01:51:03.319 --> 01:51:06.600 the Thanksgiving holiday week and was it as busy as expected. 2046 01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:10.199 Someone decided to add up all the passenger miles flown 2047 01:51:10.399 --> 01:51:14.000 since the last US aviation crash. We'll find out how 2048 01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:16.640 many miles that is. Spirit Airlines employees are a little 2049 01:51:16.720 --> 01:51:22.239 upset over executive bonuses as the airline goes into chapter eleven. Yeah, 2050 01:51:22.560 --> 01:51:26.479 Frontier soon providing premium in first class seats for flyers, 2051 01:51:26.520 --> 01:51:28.479 as well as a hub delay update with Jay and 2052 01:51:28.520 --> 01:51:31.479 maybe a curveball or two. He's always ready for it. 2053 01:51:32.520 --> 01:51:34.600 What again, Thanks? Everybody, need to listener to lunch. It 2054 01:51:34.680 --> 01:51:38.239 was awesome, wonderful, wonderful time. It was great seeing everybody, 2055 01:51:38.960 --> 01:51:42.600 and we had a lot of conversations because I've mentioned 2056 01:51:42.640 --> 01:51:45.239 many times that Keto diet and I kind of want 2057 01:51:45.279 --> 01:51:47.079 a little bit of modified Keto diet. I only bring 2058 01:51:47.159 --> 01:51:51.079 it up now because I with RFK Junior, sort of 2059 01:51:53.000 --> 01:51:56.079 making the America healthier again. The whole idea of bringing 2060 01:51:56.319 --> 01:51:59.199 to our collective attention. It's kind of like what I 2061 01:51:59.239 --> 01:52:02.520 was talking about John Houston about adoption. It doesn't get 2062 01:52:02.600 --> 01:52:07.199 the marketing that it's deserved. You know, there's a huge 2063 01:52:07.239 --> 01:52:11.279 amount of money bankrolling planned parenthoods. You hear about that 2064 01:52:11.319 --> 01:52:13.520 all the time. Abortion, of course, now it's fully legal 2065 01:52:13.560 --> 01:52:16.800 in Ohio, so there are alternatives, but sometimes the message 2066 01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:18.800 is suppressed a little bit, either for lack of money 2067 01:52:18.880 --> 01:52:23.079 lack of resources. But in the world of food, you 2068 01:52:23.199 --> 01:52:25.479 know you can read articles and talk about health, and 2069 01:52:25.720 --> 01:52:27.399 you know you'll learn about it in school a little bit, 2070 01:52:27.399 --> 01:52:30.279 although the food pyramid has changed like nineteen times since 2071 01:52:30.319 --> 01:52:34.560 I was in elementary school. But the idea of process 2072 01:52:34.680 --> 01:52:37.920 foods and I'm looking forward to having more information brought 2073 01:52:37.960 --> 01:52:41.840 out to the American public's attention about processed foods. And 2074 01:52:41.880 --> 01:52:44.039 I saw an article yesterday on Epoch Times. They don't 2075 01:52:44.039 --> 01:52:45.680 have to go into the details, but you know, the 2076 01:52:45.720 --> 01:52:49.720 headline was ultra processed food consumption linked to higher muscle 2077 01:52:49.880 --> 01:52:54.640 fat composition, regardless of calorie intake. So if you're eating 2078 01:52:54.720 --> 01:52:57.960 natural foods other than those like ultra processed foods like 2079 01:52:58.039 --> 01:53:00.560 chips and cookies and pre cooked frozen days as were 2080 01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:05.600 all mentioned as illustrations of ultra processed foods, they're really 2081 01:53:05.720 --> 01:53:09.960 bad for you. And being on the only reason I 2082 01:53:10.039 --> 01:53:11.359 bring it up is because you know, I'm not paying 2083 01:53:11.439 --> 01:53:13.439 that close attention to it. I did pretty much eat 2084 01:53:13.479 --> 01:53:15.239 anything I wanted before one of this diet, and I 2085 01:53:15.319 --> 01:53:16.800 was trying to do it in an effort to stave 2086 01:53:16.880 --> 01:53:19.880 off my cancer, because there's a lot of research that's 2087 01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:22.319 coming out now about starving cancer if you deprive it 2088 01:53:22.399 --> 01:53:26.279 of sugars and can go a long way to helping. 2089 01:53:26.479 --> 01:53:29.720 Like there's been some research studies published, research studies in 2090 01:53:30.359 --> 01:53:34.119 legitimate you know, like Journal of American Medicine Types Reports, 2091 01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:38.319 peer reviewed that you can reduce breast cancer tumors and 2092 01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:42.720 things like that by reducing or completely eliminating your sugar intake. 2093 01:53:42.720 --> 01:53:44.479 And there's a bunch of different protocols out there, and 2094 01:53:44.720 --> 01:53:46.439 again I can't go into all the details on it, 2095 01:53:47.439 --> 01:53:52.840 but watching my sugar intake alone, this diet do yourself 2096 01:53:52.920 --> 01:53:55.720 a favor if you never pay attention to it. Start 2097 01:53:55.800 --> 01:54:00.399 reading labels, start just looking at labels. Yes, the bread 2098 01:54:00.439 --> 01:54:02.680 you eat will convert to sugar, so you know carbs 2099 01:54:02.680 --> 01:54:04.239 are going to do that anyway. But look at the 2100 01:54:04.359 --> 01:54:09.560 amount of processed sugar or corn syrup that goes into geez, 2101 01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:11.039 almost everything. 2102 01:54:13.199 --> 01:54:13.319 You know. 2103 01:54:13.439 --> 01:54:15.439 You know, a nikita die you can't even have ketchup 2104 01:54:17.279 --> 01:54:19.079 because it's got a heapload of sugar in it. I 2105 01:54:19.159 --> 01:54:21.359 know they make no sugar ketchups. Fine that see, there's 2106 01:54:21.359 --> 01:54:23.239 an alternative to it, But you have to pay attention 2107 01:54:23.399 --> 01:54:27.399 to what you're eating, So try doing that sometime. I 2108 01:54:27.439 --> 01:54:29.520 think we'd all do ourselves a favor by reducing our 2109 01:54:29.600 --> 01:54:33.239 sugar intake collectively. But you know, as much as I 2110 01:54:33.359 --> 01:54:36.399 may disagree with OURFK Junior on a number of things, 2111 01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:39.039 most notably his you know, his idea that he believes 2112 01:54:39.119 --> 01:54:41.560 also that you and I are exiling the planet into oblivion, 2113 01:54:41.640 --> 01:54:43.439 that's not what his job's going to be. Is job's 2114 01:54:43.479 --> 01:54:45.600 going to be to sort of raise our collective awareness 2115 01:54:46.039 --> 01:54:50.199 about healthier food options. You know, you're my listeners, you're 2116 01:54:50.239 --> 01:54:51.920 my friends. I love each and every one of you, 2117 01:54:52.159 --> 01:54:54.239 and it just it's I just want to get that 2118 01:54:54.319 --> 01:54:56.680 out of my system because being on a dial like 2119 01:54:56.760 --> 01:54:58.840 this it makes you, it forces you to pay attention, 2120 01:54:58.920 --> 01:55:04.039 and then you're like, holy crap, there is a ton 2121 01:55:04.239 --> 01:55:07.920 of sugar out there and we don't need it, and 2122 01:55:08.159 --> 01:55:11.920 we do have a significant obesity problem in this country. 2123 01:55:12.000 --> 01:55:13.600 So there, let me get it out of my system. 2124 01:55:13.600 --> 01:55:16.960 I appreciate that, and let's talk about the night orson 2125 01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:19.680 wells Terrified America with my next guest, William hazel Grove. 2126 01:55:19.760 --> 01:55:21.760 Right after the news followed by iHeart me the aviation 2127 01:55:21.920 --> 01:55:24.239 erxpert Jay Ratlip.

It is a pleasure heavy on the 2146 01:56:29.520 --> 01:56:30.920 fifty five KRSE Morning Show. 2147 01:56:32.000 --> 01:56:32.960 Oh thanks for having me. 2148 01:56:33.319 --> 01:56:35.880 I'm familiar with this story. I've seen the movie. I've 2149 01:56:35.960 --> 01:56:38.079 seen the original movie, I saw the remake of it. 2150 01:56:38.159 --> 01:56:42.399 I've also seen the sort of documentary movie about the 2151 01:56:42.680 --> 01:56:47.479 chaos that ensued as a consequence of hgu Wells airing 2152 01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:50.119 this on air radio play War of the Worlds with 2153 01:56:50.279 --> 01:56:53.840 nineteen thirty eight. I guess, as you point out October thirtieth, 2154 01:56:54.039 --> 01:56:57.880 Halloween Eve, But I want you to set the stage 2155 01:56:57.920 --> 01:57:01.039 for my listeners for an understanding of how this was 2156 01:57:01.239 --> 01:57:06.520 such a widespread radio show. It was a play on 2157 01:57:06.680 --> 01:57:09.520 the air. They had actors doing different parts, sound effects, 2158 01:57:09.560 --> 01:57:12.800 all that live in studio at CBS Studio in New York. 2159 01:57:13.119 --> 01:57:15.399 What was the nature of radio back then? Because right now, 2160 01:57:15.479 --> 01:57:17.760 of course, anybody can get any program anywhere in the 2161 01:57:17.760 --> 01:57:20.239 world with the Internet. But I was wondering was this 2162 01:57:20.399 --> 01:57:23.399 a syndicated thing that it went across to America? I mean, 2163 01:57:23.920 --> 01:57:26.920 was the power feed from CBS New York City's radio 2164 01:57:27.039 --> 01:57:30.960 studio so big like our local station LW that it 2165 01:57:31.039 --> 01:57:35.600 went on over multiple states? How did this program get out? 2166 01:57:36.920 --> 01:57:38.840 Oh? Well, you know a great question. Actually they had 2167 01:57:38.840 --> 01:57:42.439 one hundred and twenty six affiliates at the time, went 2168 01:57:42.479 --> 01:57:45.600 across the country. So you know, that's the first misnomer 2169 01:57:45.640 --> 01:57:48.119 about this War of the worlds that people think, oh, 2170 01:57:48.279 --> 01:57:50.920 it's just restricted to the East coast. That's just not true. 2171 01:57:51.479 --> 01:57:54.600 It went right across the country and was picked up 2172 01:57:54.600 --> 01:57:58.560 by all these stations. And you know, again, I when 2173 01:57:58.600 --> 01:58:01.439 I wrote this book, I did by newspapers. I used 2174 01:58:01.720 --> 01:58:03.760 the research of all these news verys and all these 2175 01:58:03.840 --> 01:58:08.279 small towns. The panic just emanated out and so they 2176 01:58:08.319 --> 01:58:13.319 were literally running for the hills in California, Missouri, you know, 2177 01:58:13.439 --> 01:58:15.960 all the way down to the south, down in Mississippi. 2178 01:58:16.039 --> 01:58:19.359 It was just you know, it traveled across the country. 2179 01:58:19.399 --> 01:58:22.960 As he said, radio was a new medium at this 2180 01:58:23.279 --> 01:58:27.119 time that you know, everybody had a station. Because what 2181 01:58:27.199 --> 01:58:30.279 it happened was it's a dayton Land crisis with Hitler 2182 01:58:30.479 --> 01:58:33.960 wanting to invade Czechoslovakia. It just occurred two weeks before. 2183 01:58:34.720 --> 01:58:37.640 Said there was these breaking news bulletins going off all 2184 01:58:37.720 --> 01:58:41.760 the time, and and Wells used that in his show. 2185 01:58:41.880 --> 01:58:45.159 He used breaking news bulletins. He made it as realistic 2186 01:58:45.640 --> 01:58:48.520 as possible, and he listened to it today even today. 2187 01:58:49.039 --> 01:58:51.039 But so I had someone, so listen to it. You 2188 01:58:51.159 --> 01:58:55.640 think it's actual news. Yeah, you know, you know Martians Lady. 2189 01:58:56.159 --> 01:59:00.199 Now, in terms of HGUS at the time, I guess 2190 01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:03.359 he was an unknown entity. Im minorities what hjewels and 2191 01:59:03.479 --> 01:59:06.439 up accomplishment but accomplishing. But at this time was was 2192 01:59:06.520 --> 01:59:08.640 he a newbie kind of guy that nobody ever heard of? 2193 01:59:09.800 --> 01:59:10.600 Oh you mean Orton? 2194 01:59:11.520 --> 01:59:11.720 Yeah? 2195 01:59:12.600 --> 01:59:17.239 Uh, he had some fame, he had been he had 2196 01:59:17.399 --> 01:59:21.600 produced these two plays. Uh, he only had about a 2197 01:59:21.680 --> 01:59:26.199 million listeners. But on this night, because his show was 2198 01:59:26.359 --> 01:59:29.039 a sustaining program, he didn't have a sponsor, a right 2199 01:59:29.560 --> 01:59:32.680 sort of for it was for the good of the country, right, 2200 01:59:32.720 --> 01:59:35.840 They had this thing then, and so the the you know, 2201 01:59:36.640 --> 01:59:38.960 playing at the same time was to Charlie McCarthy hour, 2202 01:59:39.119 --> 01:59:43.279 Edgarburg and Charlie McCarthy, which had twelve million listeners. Okay, 2203 01:59:43.640 --> 01:59:47.239 so what happens during during the Charlie McCarthy hour, they 2204 01:59:47.319 --> 01:59:49.760 go to Nelson Edia singer and guess what happens with 2205 01:59:49.960 --> 01:59:53.199 What happens now everybody started surfing the dial and they 2206 01:59:53.279 --> 01:59:56.960 ended up on War of the World in Progress. After 2207 01:59:57.039 --> 02:00:00.479 the station you know, identification and everyone it's like, oh 2208 02:00:00.520 --> 02:00:03.079 my god, you know, and growers. And in New Jersey, 2209 02:00:03.439 --> 02:00:06.680 our Martians have landed and you know they're using poison 2210 02:00:06.720 --> 02:00:10.439 gas and heat raising, killing everybody, and you know, so 2211 02:00:10.560 --> 02:00:15.960 Wells got supercharged that night. Also, radios in Carns had 2212 02:00:16.079 --> 02:00:18.520 just become a thing. You know, all these cars now 2213 02:00:18.600 --> 02:00:20.880 had radios, and this was a very new phenomenon, you know, 2214 02:00:20.960 --> 02:00:23.640 driving around with a car radio. So people in the 2215 02:00:23.720 --> 02:00:26.800 cars for the first time, we're hearing this, and they 2216 02:00:26.840 --> 02:00:29.359 started just driving like maniacs. The police didn't know what 2217 02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:33.199 was going on. Everybody started speeding, getting accidents and going 2218 02:00:33.279 --> 02:00:36.159 through red lights and you know, not stopping for anything. 2219 02:00:36.920 --> 02:00:40.399 So it was a kind of perfect storm, you know, 2220 02:00:40.840 --> 02:00:43.960 on this this October thirtieth, nineteen thirty eighth that this 2221 02:00:44.239 --> 02:00:47.399 you know, broadcast took hold and was like a tsunami 2222 02:00:47.439 --> 02:00:48.640 of terror across the country. 2223 02:00:48.920 --> 02:00:53.279 Now before the terror started breaking out in the panic 2224 02:00:53.560 --> 02:00:56.279 in the streets and blah blah blah, it's my understanding, 2225 02:00:56.319 --> 02:00:58.279 correct me if I'm wrong. Though, at some point Orson 2226 02:00:58.359 --> 02:01:01.119 Wells was told that, dude, you've got to let the 2227 02:01:01.159 --> 02:01:03.239 world know that this isn't real and that you are 2228 02:01:03.319 --> 02:01:06.359 broadcasting a play. So he interrupted the show to and 2229 02:01:06.479 --> 02:01:09.359 make that announcement. Is that part of my recollection? Correct? 2230 02:01:10.359 --> 02:01:13.760 Actually what happened is Wells is doing the show. A 2231 02:01:13.840 --> 02:01:17.439 guy named Davison Taylor, a CBS executive, starts getting all 2232 02:01:17.479 --> 02:01:20.720 these calls saying where do we go? The martians are abating, 2233 02:01:20.760 --> 02:01:23.399 where's can we do? And they realize whoa, this thing's 2234 02:01:23.399 --> 02:01:26.319 out of control. He then leaves the control room and 2235 02:01:26.399 --> 02:01:29.560 tries to get in the studio. John Houseman, Orson Wall's 2236 02:01:29.600 --> 02:01:33.399 partner holds the door shut won't let him in because 2237 02:01:33.439 --> 02:01:37.279 they know what they're doing. Right. So then the police 2238 02:01:37.399 --> 02:01:40.640 arrive and they come into the control room. Well sees 2239 02:01:40.720 --> 02:01:43.079 them and they try getting the studio and John Houston 2240 02:01:43.119 --> 02:01:46.079 doesn't let them. Why because Wells wants to get to 2241 02:01:46.159 --> 02:01:49.000 the eight thirty eight minute mark where who has to 2242 02:01:49.079 --> 02:01:52.079 take a station break? So for thirty eight minutes after 2243 02:01:52.199 --> 02:01:57.479 the initial intro, okay, there's no break, and by the way, 2244 02:01:57.600 --> 02:02:00.800 we're the worlds. The first half is where ever everything happens. 2245 02:02:00.840 --> 02:02:03.760 The second half of the snooze just Wells walking around saying, 2246 02:02:04.039 --> 02:02:06.880 isn't this terrible to airthless concenrit But the first half 2247 02:02:07.000 --> 02:02:08.199 is all the fireworks. 2248 02:02:08.520 --> 02:02:08.960 Oh wow? 2249 02:02:10.119 --> 02:02:12.760 Well Orson knew exactly what he was doing. You know, 2250 02:02:12.880 --> 02:02:14.880 he was he asked, he was you know, he's that 2251 02:02:15.000 --> 02:02:16.720 kind of guy who would ask you to look through 2252 02:02:16.720 --> 02:02:19.039 his telescope and say do you see these stars? And 2253 02:02:19.119 --> 02:02:20.880 then thumpy on the head and safety as see him. Now. 2254 02:02:21.279 --> 02:02:23.000 I mean, he's that kind of you know. 2255 02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:27.399 Now, did he okay? And so that's kind of the predicate. 2256 02:02:27.640 --> 02:02:32.319 So he obviously was obstruction and obstructionist in and stopping 2257 02:02:32.399 --> 02:02:34.319 it while it was going on real time? I get 2258 02:02:34.399 --> 02:02:38.720 that part. But did he know? Do you think he knowe? 2259 02:02:38.880 --> 02:02:41.279 Or is there any reports that he knew in advance 2260 02:02:41.399 --> 02:02:43.520 that it was going to cause this type of reaction. 2261 02:02:45.319 --> 02:02:47.079 I don't think he thought the explosion would be as 2262 02:02:47.119 --> 02:02:51.399 big as it did. But Wells was determined. He had 2263 02:02:51.640 --> 02:02:57.640 studied the Hindenburg recording when HINDEMBERG crash w L Chicago 2264 02:02:58.119 --> 02:03:02.319 had an on the spot reporter who freaked out, and 2265 02:03:02.479 --> 02:03:05.760 so well studied that and so in his the guy 2266 02:03:05.840 --> 02:03:09.239 named Carl Reddick is on the spot reporter with the Martians. 2267 02:03:09.399 --> 02:03:12.159 The Martians come out of their cylinder and they zapp 2268 02:03:12.279 --> 02:03:14.640 him and kill him on the air. And my book's 2269 02:03:14.680 --> 02:03:17.239 called you know, Dead Air and the reason for all 2270 02:03:17.319 --> 02:03:20.399 that is because then Wells in the studio holds up 2271 02:03:20.439 --> 02:03:24.920 his arms for everybody, everybody, musicians, the actors, everybody to 2272 02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:27.479 not say a word. And as you know, dead air 2273 02:03:27.520 --> 02:03:31.960 on the radio is just taboo. Well for six seconds 2274 02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:35.199 he holds that silence, as says, after this reporter dies 2275 02:03:35.279 --> 02:03:38.880 on the air, people freaked out. They thought, oh my god, 2276 02:03:39.199 --> 02:03:40.840 we just heard this guy get Zapp. 2277 02:03:42.800 --> 02:03:45.039 And he died. Oh right, it'd be like right in 2278 02:03:45.079 --> 02:03:47.119 the middle, like you mentioned the Henburg all the humanity, 2279 02:03:47.199 --> 02:03:49.680 the humanity and then gone. 2280 02:03:49.760 --> 02:03:52.520 Exactly he made he made radio part of the play. 2281 02:03:52.840 --> 02:03:54.760 He took he wrote the third wall. We're used to 2282 02:03:54.840 --> 02:03:57.199 that now, you know, you see House of Cards, all 2283 02:03:57.279 --> 02:03:59.560 sudden Kevin Space will turn and talk to the camera. 2284 02:04:00.039 --> 02:04:02.439 That's what we was did with this. Suddenly radio was 2285 02:04:02.520 --> 02:04:03.760 part of the drama. 2286 02:04:04.640 --> 02:04:07.920 Well, in terms of the reaction, okay, we know this 2287 02:04:08.000 --> 02:04:10.399 set up. Now, we know he knew at some point 2288 02:04:10.479 --> 02:04:13.319 that people were going crazy thinking this was true. I 2289 02:04:13.479 --> 02:04:18.039 note that the military actually also got involved. We had 2290 02:04:18.239 --> 02:04:22.239 actual our armed forces reacted on some level to this, 2291 02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:23.720 believing it to be true as well. 2292 02:04:24.960 --> 02:04:27.560 Absolutely what happened was they had to put out a 2293 02:04:27.760 --> 02:04:31.600 release telling the armed forces this isn't this isn't real, 2294 02:04:32.039 --> 02:04:35.720 This doesn't happening. And because people kept saying, I heard 2295 02:04:35.800 --> 02:04:40.479 the President says, well Orson had this actor imitate the 2296 02:04:41.359 --> 02:04:45.079 Interior secretary the Interior and he said. 2297 02:04:45.000 --> 02:04:46.159 You know what, you know what to do. 2298 02:04:46.439 --> 02:04:49.239 This guy did a dead on a Fdr. Frankelin Dollan 2299 02:04:49.239 --> 02:04:52.079 and Roosevelt with all the speech tags and you listen 2300 02:04:52.159 --> 02:04:53.880 to this now and you're like, oh, that's Roosevelt. So 2301 02:04:54.000 --> 02:04:56.479 people are like, I heard the President say this, the 2302 02:04:56.600 --> 02:05:00.760 Martians have incinerated our army, you know, it was own compression. 2303 02:05:00.960 --> 02:05:04.880 Suddenly we're you know, eight thousand men got killed, and 2304 02:05:05.039 --> 02:05:07.600 then we're with a bomber pilot who's died by me 2305 02:05:07.720 --> 02:05:09.680 on the Martians. I mean it's almost a minute. So 2306 02:05:09.880 --> 02:05:13.039 when people panicked, they lost their sense of time because 2307 02:05:13.119 --> 02:05:15.279 later people said, well, how can anybody believe that all 2308 02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:18.439 that could happen? But you know, people weren't thinking, and 2309 02:05:18.760 --> 02:05:21.399 Wells was brilliant because here's the thing you want to know. 2310 02:05:22.199 --> 02:05:25.119 This is a broadcast, and a broadcast it starts with 2311 02:05:25.279 --> 02:05:28.399 dinner music at a hotel in New York. Then they 2312 02:05:28.560 --> 02:05:32.319 cut from that to we've got breaking news. Something's crashed 2313 02:05:32.359 --> 02:05:34.840 and Grover's in New Jersey, and then back to the 2314 02:05:34.920 --> 02:05:38.359 dinner music, then back to the new you know, New Jersey. 2315 02:05:38.439 --> 02:05:40.720 We've got breaking news. The Martians are out and the 2316 02:05:40.840 --> 02:05:44.039 shooting people of the heat rate. So people, once you 2317 02:05:44.119 --> 02:05:48.159 bought into the music, you thought, okay, this is real, 2318 02:05:48.479 --> 02:05:50.920 and then okay, this is real. So you know you 2319 02:05:51.000 --> 02:05:52.800 were in the tunnel, and then it. 2320 02:05:52.880 --> 02:05:53.920 Was off to the races. 2321 02:05:54.520 --> 02:05:58.079 Oh my word, and it's and you know, my my brain, 2322 02:05:58.199 --> 02:06:00.680 I logical, reasonable brain. That again, I'm surrounded by like 2323 02:06:00.840 --> 02:06:04.920 nine thousand different news resources. I never believe anything when 2324 02:06:04.920 --> 02:06:06.279 I first read it. I want to go out in 2325 02:06:06.319 --> 02:06:07.920 the world and look around to see if there's any 2326 02:06:07.960 --> 02:06:12.520 credibility associated with whatever random person says something. But you 2327 02:06:12.600 --> 02:06:15.640 mentioned the it's just the infancy of radio. Even car 2328 02:06:15.800 --> 02:06:19.079 radios are new. What about the idea of just changing 2329 02:06:19.199 --> 02:06:21.800 the station to see if anybody else is reporting about 2330 02:06:21.800 --> 02:06:23.640 the world coming to an end and if you don't 2331 02:06:23.680 --> 02:06:26.880 hear it elsewhere, doesn't that sort of reduce the credibility 2332 02:06:26.920 --> 02:06:29.000 of what's going on in CBS at that moment? 2333 02:06:29.920 --> 02:06:32.600 Well, you know this happened, people started surfing down. But 2334 02:06:32.840 --> 02:06:35.680 if you've ever been in a truly panic situation. You 2335 02:06:35.760 --> 02:06:38.560 start doing strange things. Little things become very hard to do. 2336 02:06:38.680 --> 02:06:40.119 I put in the key in your car, start in 2337 02:06:40.159 --> 02:06:40.399 your car. 2338 02:06:40.680 --> 02:06:41.199 Well people did. 2339 02:06:41.319 --> 02:06:44.479 They started to surf it down. Radio reception was iffy, 2340 02:06:45.119 --> 02:06:46.119 especially in cars. 2341 02:06:46.199 --> 02:06:46.319 Right. 2342 02:06:46.479 --> 02:06:48.640 So there's a general with his wife in the Redwood 2343 02:06:48.680 --> 02:06:51.960 forest in California. They hear the broadcasts, They try and 2344 02:06:52.000 --> 02:06:54.359 get anication. They can't pick anything up. Oh my god, 2345 02:06:54.439 --> 02:06:56.760 the markets have knocked everybody up there. They run out 2346 02:06:56.800 --> 02:06:59.119 of gas in the woods. They sit there and wait 2347 02:06:59.199 --> 02:07:01.880 to get incinerated by the Martians. I mean, so this 2348 02:07:02.079 --> 02:07:05.720 happened people, because I just got named Cantrell, who did 2349 02:07:05.760 --> 02:07:08.560 a big report on this too, you know, immediately after 2350 02:07:08.640 --> 02:07:11.239 it happened. He was a Yale professor and he interviewed 2351 02:07:11.279 --> 02:07:13.239 all these people and that was one of the questions, 2352 02:07:13.279 --> 02:07:14.760 Well then you go on the down and said, yeah, 2353 02:07:14.840 --> 02:07:17.920 we did, but we you know, we couldn't find anything 2354 02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:21.439 else going on, or you know, some people said they 2355 02:07:21.479 --> 02:07:25.399 did find other people reporting on also too. Terror was 2356 02:07:25.479 --> 02:07:28.439 spread by the phone. People kind of phone said, you know, 2357 02:07:28.520 --> 02:07:31.479 Aunt Martha, you know the world's ending. The Martians have come. 2358 02:07:31.560 --> 02:07:35.000 And then so they said the footspoorts and Manhattan, which 2359 02:07:35.000 --> 02:07:37.920 are half block long just lit up, just totally lit up. 2360 02:07:38.000 --> 02:07:41.560 So it was being disseminated to other people who never 2361 02:07:41.680 --> 02:07:45.760 heard the broadcast. So it takes on that, you know, yeah, yeah, 2362 02:07:46.319 --> 02:07:49.079 that our fact, and everybody starts running, people running the 2363 02:07:49.199 --> 02:07:51.359 theater saying it's the end of the world. They're running 2364 02:07:51.359 --> 02:07:53.960 the churches, ants the end of the world. People are 2365 02:07:54.000 --> 02:07:57.000 confessing to affairs to their lives that you know, I 2366 02:07:57.079 --> 02:08:03.000 got to tell you, you know the broadcast, Oh. 2367 02:08:03.000 --> 02:08:04.920 My god, how do you laugh about it now? But 2368 02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:07.319 I can only imagine the panic and the terror? Well 2369 02:08:08.520 --> 02:08:11.239 was there any actual death? It seemed to recall the 2370 02:08:11.319 --> 02:08:15.199 movie about the Panic. There was a scene where there 2371 02:08:15.279 --> 02:08:17.399 was a father who was getting ready to shoot his 2372 02:08:17.640 --> 02:08:20.359 children before the Martians were able to get him, sort 2373 02:08:20.399 --> 02:08:23.039 of like to you know, stop the tragedy with a tragedy. 2374 02:08:23.119 --> 02:08:25.800 Did anybody actually die as a consequence of this broadcast? 2375 02:08:26.600 --> 02:08:28.279 Okay? It was a very famous story of a man 2376 02:08:28.319 --> 02:08:30.880 commit him and his wife is sitting at the kitchen 2377 02:08:30.960 --> 02:08:34.399 table with a vial of arsenic you know, who's going 2378 02:08:34.479 --> 02:08:36.399 to kill herself And he said, what are you doing? 2379 02:08:36.560 --> 02:08:38.600 She said, I'd rather go this way than by the Martians. 2380 02:08:39.000 --> 02:08:41.760 But as far as actual death. Two years after this, 2381 02:08:41.920 --> 02:08:46.399 Arsenalos is on a barn tour. He goes into hotel 2382 02:08:46.520 --> 02:08:50.079 cancers of another general. A man attacks him viciously. They 2383 02:08:50.199 --> 02:08:52.640 pulled him off, and the man's screen time said, I flow, 2384 02:08:52.760 --> 02:08:54.640 I'd kill you if I ever saw you. They do 2385 02:08:54.680 --> 02:08:57.399 an investigation and find out his wife did commit suicide 2386 02:08:57.439 --> 02:08:59.079 on the night of the broadcast. 2387 02:08:59.359 --> 02:08:59.640 Wow. 2388 02:09:00.520 --> 02:09:02.680 Well, I'll tell you what, William Hazel grow It has 2389 02:09:02.720 --> 02:09:05.319 been a real pleasure talking with you about this amazing 2390 02:09:05.359 --> 02:09:07.199 story here on the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

And one year 2434 02:11:01.680 --> 02:11:03.239 he asked me on the air, Jay Man, how do you. 2435 02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:03.600 Know all this? 2436 02:11:04.560 --> 02:11:05.560 I said, Jim, what, I don't know? 2437 02:11:05.560 --> 02:11:09.560 I make up And there's this pause of like five 2438 02:11:09.640 --> 02:11:12.279 seconds and I said, Jim, I'm kidding, so you know, 2439 02:11:13.000 --> 02:11:15.119 so you and I can laugh, and good lord, I've 2440 02:11:15.119 --> 02:11:15.960 missed Jim so much. 2441 02:11:16.039 --> 02:11:18.800 But it's just, you know, I love our time together Brian, 2442 02:11:18.840 --> 02:11:19.520 and I hope it shows. 2443 02:11:19.720 --> 02:11:21.560 It does and I love it. I love it as much. 2444 02:11:21.640 --> 02:11:23.920 I hope it shows to you too. So let us 2445 02:11:24.039 --> 02:11:27.359 discuss actually a new addition to the already lengthy list 2446 02:11:27.439 --> 02:11:28.720 of things today. I'm not sure if we'll get it 2447 02:11:28.760 --> 02:11:31.079 all in. But the airlines were in front of the 2448 02:11:31.199 --> 02:11:32.079 Senate yesterday. 2449 02:11:32.359 --> 02:11:34.840 Oh yeah, that was a good one. 2450 02:11:36.279 --> 02:11:39.560 We had the Senate grilling five airline executives over their 2451 02:11:39.640 --> 02:11:42.439 practices and their airline fees and their seat fees. And 2452 02:11:43.640 --> 02:11:47.720 when all this was set up, I'm thinking, Okay, come on, guys, 2453 02:11:47.800 --> 02:11:52.079 this is posturing. All you're doing is these are photo ops. 2454 02:11:52.159 --> 02:11:55.920 Because if anybody talks about how glorious it is to fly, 2455 02:11:56.399 --> 02:11:59.640 how wonderful it is to fly, they're obviously lying because 2456 02:11:59.640 --> 02:12:02.119 you and I've talked about you don't enjoy travel, you 2457 02:12:02.439 --> 02:12:06.680 endure it. And the Senate panel was up there talking 2458 02:12:06.760 --> 02:12:09.520 to these airline executives and of course they were grilling 2459 02:12:09.600 --> 02:12:12.640 them over the seat fees and things that were their 2460 02:12:12.720 --> 02:12:15.800 costs of business and how their business operations were. And 2461 02:12:15.880 --> 02:12:18.560 I really think the government has z row zero zero 2462 02:12:18.840 --> 02:12:21.319 role in that. But what I did find interesting was 2463 02:12:21.359 --> 02:12:24.800 when they were talking about like Frontier and Spirit. Oh 2464 02:12:25.039 --> 02:12:27.880 I love this exchange where they said, why are you 2465 02:12:28.079 --> 02:12:32.199 incentivizing your gate agents to find bags that are too 2466 02:12:32.319 --> 02:12:35.119 big so they have to be charged a carry on fee? 2467 02:12:35.920 --> 02:12:39.159 Because Spirit and Frontier have paid out in incentives. 2468 02:12:39.199 --> 02:12:40.000 Now, remember these. 2469 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:41.760 Are people that don't make a lot of money working 2470 02:12:41.840 --> 02:12:44.560 for the airlines, right, twenty six million dollars in like 2471 02:12:44.600 --> 02:12:47.600 two years, wow, because they give them like ten bucks 2472 02:12:47.640 --> 02:12:50.319 a bag if you find something that's too big, We'll 2473 02:12:50.359 --> 02:12:53.479 give you ten bucks of the thirty, forty fifty whatever 2474 02:12:53.680 --> 02:12:56.800 that ends up being charged. So they're actually out there 2475 02:12:57.079 --> 02:12:59.119 out they're looking for bags they're too big. 2476 02:12:59.319 --> 02:13:01.000 Do you find you Do you have any problem with 2477 02:13:01.039 --> 02:13:01.479 them doing that? 2478 02:13:01.600 --> 02:13:01.840 Do you. 2479 02:13:03.960 --> 02:13:04.880 As far as incentives? 2480 02:13:04.920 --> 02:13:06.000 Absolutely not right. 2481 02:13:05.920 --> 02:13:08.359 Because they're forcing the rules that are on the books anyway, 2482 02:13:08.399 --> 02:13:10.159 you're not supposed to have a book a bag that's 2483 02:13:10.279 --> 02:13:14.079 beyond X number of size. The employees are helping the 2484 02:13:14.159 --> 02:13:17.399 company meet its objectives. They're helping them earn the money 2485 02:13:17.479 --> 02:13:19.640 that they're entitled to because of the rules that you 2486 02:13:19.760 --> 02:13:21.680 agree to when you agree to fly on that airline. 2487 02:13:21.720 --> 02:13:22.640 So bully for them. 2488 02:13:23.479 --> 02:13:26.039 Well, you know the thing that I just it amaze 2489 02:13:26.119 --> 02:13:29.520 me watching the United CEO the frontier that not a 2490 02:13:29.640 --> 02:13:31.800 single one of them and all that I reviewed, and 2491 02:13:31.880 --> 02:13:35.119 I didn't see every single second, but none of them said, Look, 2492 02:13:35.119 --> 02:13:37.560 our number one objective is to push that airplane back 2493 02:13:37.600 --> 02:13:41.600 on time period. That's where our money is made. And 2494 02:13:41.760 --> 02:13:43.479 if we have a bag that's too big, if we 2495 02:13:43.600 --> 02:13:48.000 miss something, we jeopardize that flight leaving on time. So therefore, 2496 02:13:48.039 --> 02:13:50.439 we're going to incentivize our agents to get out there 2497 02:13:50.439 --> 02:13:54.479 and look for things that could potentially delay our flight. 2498 02:13:55.079 --> 02:13:58.239 That's where the focus should have been. But they were 2499 02:13:58.279 --> 02:14:02.520 trying to play along, skip along, whatever. And I'm just thinking, guys, 2500 02:14:02.560 --> 02:14:04.800 you just go that they'd gone straight to the matter, 2501 02:14:04.840 --> 02:14:07.239 because I would have told every one of the senators, Look, 2502 02:14:07.319 --> 02:14:09.359 you want your flight to be on time, right, so 2503 02:14:09.600 --> 02:14:11.560 if we do everything within our power to do so, 2504 02:14:11.720 --> 02:14:14.039 you're going to be happy, right. And I would have 2505 02:14:14.079 --> 02:14:16.000 shoved it right back in their face and say, this 2506 02:14:16.159 --> 02:14:19.079 is how we accomplish that. Because passengers bring bags that 2507 02:14:19.119 --> 02:14:22.439 are too big. We've got to do this passengers. All 2508 02:14:22.479 --> 02:14:24.479 of the things that could have been addressed, But the 2509 02:14:24.560 --> 02:14:27.960 bottom line is the Trump administration, if it's anything like 2510 02:14:28.119 --> 02:14:31.119 Round one, they're going to back off. They're going to 2511 02:14:31.199 --> 02:14:33.319 let the airlines do whatever they want to do. So 2512 02:14:33.439 --> 02:14:35.439 I think a lot of this stuff that's been being 2513 02:14:35.560 --> 02:14:38.960 pushed right now is that is not going to continue. 2514 02:14:39.920 --> 02:14:43.199 And that's sad because I've told you I the Bideen administration, 2515 02:14:43.560 --> 02:14:45.359 it can't the end of it cannot get here too 2516 02:14:45.399 --> 02:14:49.039 soon today. But I do appreciate the fact that they 2517 02:14:49.039 --> 02:14:51.520 were hard on the airlines. They held them accountable, they 2518 02:14:51.640 --> 02:14:53.680 made sure that they did everything they could to help 2519 02:14:53.840 --> 02:14:56.319 push them towards better customer service, and. 2520 02:14:56.359 --> 02:14:59.760 I will forever be thankful for that. And it's just 2521 02:15:01.079 --> 02:15:01.399 I don't know. 2522 02:15:01.479 --> 02:15:03.840 I see so much of this as just the typical 2523 02:15:04.039 --> 02:15:07.439 political you know, the games they play, so they've got 2524 02:15:07.560 --> 02:15:10.399 sound bites for their commercials and all the other crap 2525 02:15:10.479 --> 02:15:13.479 that goes on. And it's sad to me thinking that 2526 02:15:13.560 --> 02:15:16.159 the airlines are gonna return to a time when you know. 2527 02:15:16.279 --> 02:15:17.479 But look, you and I both agree. 2528 02:15:17.520 --> 02:15:17.720 Bright. 2529 02:15:17.800 --> 02:15:20.199 I think I speak for you that airlines they can 2530 02:15:20.279 --> 02:15:22.199 do business any way they want and if people don't 2531 02:15:22.319 --> 02:15:24.279 like it, guess what. They're gonna fly another carrier. The 2532 02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:27.840 free market will determine what takes place, and please get 2533 02:15:27.880 --> 02:15:28.520 out of our face. 2534 02:15:28.880 --> 02:15:33.000 Amen. And I guess I'm under the I think safe presumption. Again, 2535 02:15:33.039 --> 02:15:34.439 you're the expert on this, and if you don't know 2536 02:15:34.479 --> 02:15:35.479 the answer, just make it up. 2537 02:15:36.119 --> 02:15:36.640 Absolutely. 2538 02:15:36.680 --> 02:15:41.079 I'm under the impression that most people follow the rules. 2539 02:15:41.920 --> 02:15:44.560 So it's the guys who refuse to follow the rules 2540 02:15:44.600 --> 02:15:47.439 that show up with an oversized bag. Obviously it's not 2541 02:15:47.520 --> 02:15:49.279 gonna fit in the overhead bind it's not gonna fit 2542 02:15:49.359 --> 02:15:51.880 underneath under the seat in front of you. So they're 2543 02:15:51.920 --> 02:15:53.960 gonna stop. They're gonna have to tag it. They're gonna 2544 02:15:53.960 --> 02:15:55.720 put you know, everybody in standing in line trying to 2545 02:15:55.720 --> 02:15:58.119 get onto the airplane. This is the delay you're talking about. 2546 02:15:58.479 --> 02:16:01.640 Those people are fewer then the people who mind the rules. 2547 02:16:01.680 --> 02:16:04.199 So this is like trying to create a villain in 2548 02:16:04.279 --> 02:16:09.119 the airlines for providing this incentive, where there is They're 2549 02:16:09.159 --> 02:16:12.000 not a villain. There is the only group of constituents 2550 02:16:12.039 --> 02:16:15.119 out there that would benefit from this attack and maybe 2551 02:16:15.199 --> 02:16:17.279 getting rid of this incentive are people who want to 2552 02:16:17.319 --> 02:16:18.680 carry on oversize bags. 2553 02:16:19.159 --> 02:16:21.439 And we can call those the minority, right, so we 2554 02:16:21.520 --> 02:16:23.439 could call it like the EPA checks we used to 2555 02:16:23.439 --> 02:16:25.960 have here in the city of While where you had 2556 02:16:25.960 --> 02:16:27.880 to prove and like only three percent of the cars 2557 02:16:27.920 --> 02:16:30.159 failed or whatever. Okay, wait a minute, why are we 2558 02:16:30.319 --> 02:16:33.000 continuing to do this? And that's exactly the point. But 2559 02:16:33.319 --> 02:16:35.360 you know a lot of people push back on airlines 2560 02:16:35.520 --> 02:16:38.120 and I've told you I'm not ever encouraging people to 2561 02:16:38.200 --> 02:16:40.079 do this. But when you show up at the gate 2562 02:16:40.120 --> 02:16:42.120 instead of paying to check your bag at the counter, 2563 02:16:42.239 --> 02:16:43.879 a lot of people drag that bag to the gate. 2564 02:16:44.559 --> 02:16:46.440 And when the airline says we're super full today, if 2565 02:16:46.479 --> 02:16:48.520 anybody would be kind enough to let us check their bag. 2566 02:16:48.600 --> 02:16:51.239 We'll do it for free. Okay, take my four bags 2567 02:16:51.280 --> 02:16:52.879 and then boom. You didn't have to pay a penny 2568 02:16:52.920 --> 02:16:55.120 in the check bag fees. Now, I'm not telling people 2569 02:16:55.200 --> 02:16:57.440 to do that. They do that all the time, and 2570 02:16:57.879 --> 02:16:59.559 you know, if it saves them money, I guess they 2571 02:16:59.600 --> 02:17:01.440 figure it's an okay thing to do. 2572 02:17:02.040 --> 02:17:04.040 Fair Enough, we got more topics talk about with I 2573 02:17:04.159 --> 02:17:06.879 heart Media aviation next for Jay Rattless. So please don't 2574 02:17:06.920 --> 02:17:10.639 go away, We'll be right back. Fifty five KRC, Would 2575 02:17:10.799 --> 02:17:12.440 and Living Attorneys. 2576 02:17:11.959 --> 02:17:15.600 At seventy one seventy five southbound slows from the Lachland 2577 02:17:15.639 --> 02:17:20.000 Split to Town Street. I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five KRC. 2578 02:17:19.920 --> 02:17:20.600 The talk station. 2579 02:17:21.520 --> 02:17:25.600 You ever been in the cockpit before? Jay Raytliff has 2580 02:17:27.760 --> 02:17:30.120 It's a thirty nine on a Friday Eve. I heard 2581 02:17:30.159 --> 02:17:32.280 media aviation next for Jay rattlerf all right. So we 2582 02:17:32.360 --> 02:17:34.760 were talking in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday how busy 2583 02:17:34.840 --> 02:17:37.120 it was going to be, and so how did it 2584 02:17:37.200 --> 02:17:40.120 turn out in terms of airline travel and travel generally speaking? 2585 02:17:40.239 --> 02:17:41.879 Was it as bad as everybody was talking about? 2586 02:17:42.559 --> 02:17:43.239 Well, it was. 2587 02:17:43.840 --> 02:17:45.559 I always look at the number of people flying and 2588 02:17:45.639 --> 02:17:50.280 that is indicative many times of the challenges or the 2589 02:17:50.360 --> 02:17:53.840 success we had. Typically, the Sunday after Thanksgiving is the 2590 02:17:53.959 --> 02:17:57.399 busiest travel day of the year and we get every 2591 02:17:57.479 --> 02:18:00.520 day from the TSA the number of screen passengers. 2592 02:18:00.719 --> 02:18:01.239 That they had. 2593 02:18:01.399 --> 02:18:05.520 And actually on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we did see 2594 02:18:06.239 --> 02:18:08.479 a record number of travelers. It was over three million 2595 02:18:08.520 --> 02:18:12.239 people that we had traveling. It was a record for 2596 02:18:12.319 --> 02:18:14.680 the year. That was the most that we had. But 2597 02:18:14.799 --> 02:18:18.120 the second busiest day is typically and always the Wednesday 2598 02:18:18.159 --> 02:18:20.520 before Thanksgiving. So when you go back and look at 2599 02:18:20.559 --> 02:18:24.840 the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Brant that number was lower than 2600 02:18:24.920 --> 02:18:27.760 what we expected. In fact, it was probably number fifteen 2601 02:18:27.879 --> 02:18:33.280 or sixteen ranking wise in the quarter alone had nowhere 2602 02:18:33.319 --> 02:18:35.680 near a record number of any kind, and a lot 2603 02:18:35.760 --> 02:18:37.719 of that had to do with the weather and the 2604 02:18:37.799 --> 02:18:41.600 number of delayed and canceled flights. So as the week progressed, 2605 02:18:42.000 --> 02:18:44.639 we were fighting weather delays that caused a lot of problems. 2606 02:18:44.719 --> 02:18:48.200 Delayed a lot of people, had people traveling on different days, 2607 02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:51.399 canceling their reservations, all kinds of things. So even though 2608 02:18:51.440 --> 02:18:54.879 we ended the Thanksgiving holiday week on a record as expected, 2609 02:18:54.920 --> 02:18:56.719 the Sunday after Thanksgiving, as we tend to do. 2610 02:18:56.760 --> 02:18:57.159 Every year. 2611 02:18:58.399 --> 02:19:00.879 The other days that we had of the week, we're 2612 02:19:00.879 --> 02:19:03.399 a little bit subdued, and that's because we were fighting 2613 02:19:03.520 --> 02:19:07.040 some weather issues and fortunately it improved. Is that weekend 2614 02:19:07.120 --> 02:19:09.680 God here because we needed that. But some people it 2615 02:19:09.799 --> 02:19:11.959 was Monday or Tuesday before they could get home because 2616 02:19:11.959 --> 02:19:14.239 of some of the flights had been canceled, so it 2617 02:19:14.360 --> 02:19:16.639 was a challenge. Now airlines made money, and they made 2618 02:19:16.840 --> 02:19:18.959 quite a bit of it because this is their super 2619 02:19:19.000 --> 02:19:21.280 Bowl week, the busiest travel week of the year, and 2620 02:19:21.360 --> 02:19:23.719 they can charge higher fares, and it ticks us off 2621 02:19:23.760 --> 02:19:25.959 when they do, but there's nothing we can do about 2622 02:19:25.959 --> 02:19:28.079 it other than after the first of the year. A 2623 02:19:28.159 --> 02:19:30.799 lot of people are looking at making next year's reservations. 2624 02:19:31.239 --> 02:19:31.600 Buy them. 2625 02:19:31.600 --> 02:19:33.040 If you know you're going to be flying, grab the 2626 02:19:33.079 --> 02:19:36.319 trip cancelation insurance, lock in those super low fares, and 2627 02:19:36.399 --> 02:19:40.479 then you're guarded against any future rating creation. That's what 2628 02:19:40.719 --> 02:19:44.159 the savvy travelers do that every year that they fly, 2629 02:19:44.360 --> 02:19:45.920 they say, look, I know what I'm flying. I'm going 2630 02:19:45.959 --> 02:19:48.120 to buy them as far in advance as i can. Yes, 2631 02:19:48.200 --> 02:19:52.520 I'll get nine million flight schedule changes once they make 2632 02:19:52.639 --> 02:19:55.040 my reservation, But who cares. I've locked in a lower 2633 02:19:55.120 --> 02:19:57.559 fare and if it's the two entities, I want to 2634 02:19:57.559 --> 02:19:59.760 pay the less two. I've told you, Brian, it's airlines 2635 02:19:59.760 --> 02:20:02.280 in the irs. So if I can pay early to 2636 02:20:02.360 --> 02:20:04.719 pay the airlines less, you better believe it. I'm going 2637 02:20:04.799 --> 02:20:06.239 to do that every single chance I. 2638 02:20:06.280 --> 02:20:10.079 Get, every chance you get. All right, Well, you always 2639 02:20:10.239 --> 02:20:13.760 emphasize how safe airline travel is. I mean, notwithstanding the 2640 02:20:13.840 --> 02:20:16.600 fact that Boeing has doors blowing off the aircraft and 2641 02:20:16.719 --> 02:20:20.680 crazy stuff happens, but overall it is a very safe 2642 02:20:20.840 --> 02:20:23.920 means of travel. You know, compared to automobiles and pretty 2643 02:20:23.959 --> 02:20:26.239 much any other form, you're probably less likely to get 2644 02:20:26.719 --> 02:20:30.719 killed in an airline crash. So apparently somebody added up 2645 02:20:30.799 --> 02:20:34.479 all the passenger miles flown since the last crash. What 2646 02:20:34.719 --> 02:20:36.280 is the total on that one, Jay. 2647 02:20:36.959 --> 02:20:37.799 Yeah, this goes back. 2648 02:20:37.920 --> 02:20:40.760 Got a fifty seven hundred and some days. The last 2649 02:20:40.959 --> 02:20:43.600 airline crash we had was the Colgan Air crash in 2650 02:20:43.719 --> 02:20:47.040 Buffalo killed fifty people February twelve, two thousand and nine. 2651 02:20:47.600 --> 02:20:50.319 So someone who obviously and clearly had way too much 2652 02:20:50.360 --> 02:20:52.719 time on their hands did add up all the number. 2653 02:20:52.559 --> 02:20:53.559 Of passengers who've. 2654 02:20:53.360 --> 02:20:56.319 Flown since then and the miles they've flown going back 2655 02:20:56.360 --> 02:20:59.760 to that crash comes out to thirteen point three trillion miles. 2656 02:21:00.760 --> 02:21:03.200 In other words, two light years if you know what 2657 02:21:03.319 --> 02:21:05.040 that means. And of course I don't know what a 2658 02:21:05.120 --> 02:21:09.840 light year is, but here's what I do understand. It's 2659 02:21:09.920 --> 02:21:12.879 the same number of miles that would be accumulated if 2660 02:21:12.959 --> 02:21:16.079 you and I again, this is the number of miles 2661 02:21:16.159 --> 02:21:19.840 flown safely since the last aviation crash here in the 2662 02:21:19.959 --> 02:21:21.959 United States. You and I could go to the moon 2663 02:21:22.040 --> 02:21:26.719 and back twenty eight million times. 2664 02:21:27.360 --> 02:21:29.360 That's how big of a number it is. 2665 02:21:29.920 --> 02:21:32.239 So when when I say you're in a lot more 2666 02:21:32.319 --> 02:21:34.319 danger getting to the airport then you're going to be 2667 02:21:34.360 --> 02:21:37.920 getting on a plane, it's because, as I've said so 2668 02:21:37.959 --> 02:21:40.000 many times before, and we've talked about this for years, 2669 02:21:40.079 --> 02:21:42.760 we're enjoying, thank god, the safest air ever of commercial 2670 02:21:42.840 --> 02:21:46.000 jet travel. And that's because we have better technology. You 2671 02:21:46.040 --> 02:21:50.040 have better training, The pilots have more at their disposal 2672 02:21:50.159 --> 02:21:54.319 than ever in history. We've got mechanics, air traffic controllers. 2673 02:21:54.360 --> 02:21:57.239 Everybody's doing their job on the ground in the skies. 2674 02:21:57.799 --> 02:22:00.559 And you know, the only danger is if we start 2675 02:22:00.600 --> 02:22:03.280 to become a little complacent, and that's where the Boeing 2676 02:22:03.440 --> 02:22:05.079 conversation begins and. 2677 02:22:05.120 --> 02:22:07.440 I have not had enough coffee for that one. 2678 02:22:07.920 --> 02:22:12.120 But amazing when you look at just how safe aviation is. 2679 02:22:12.280 --> 02:22:14.399 And Brian, I remember when I got started in the eighties, 2680 02:22:15.479 --> 02:22:18.639 we had we had them every year and the question 2681 02:22:18.840 --> 02:22:20.559 was how many are we going to have this year? 2682 02:22:21.040 --> 02:22:23.399 We knew we were gonna have accidents, we knew they're 2683 02:22:23.399 --> 02:22:25.120 going to be fatalities, and this is back in eighty 2684 02:22:25.159 --> 02:22:27.840 one eighty two, and it was a matter of how 2685 02:22:27.879 --> 02:22:29.840 many are we gonna have this year? It was it 2686 02:22:30.000 --> 02:22:33.360 was never a even though we wanted it a foregone conclusion, 2687 02:22:33.840 --> 02:22:36.920 you know, could we have fewer or maybe none this year? 2688 02:22:37.559 --> 02:22:40.000 But every when you look back at the history of aviation, 2689 02:22:40.639 --> 02:22:43.719 sadly it's a reality that seemed to always creep up. 2690 02:22:44.079 --> 02:22:45.520 A lot of it had to do with pilot there. 2691 02:22:45.600 --> 02:22:48.879 And thank god for the NTSB, the National Transportation Safety Board, 2692 02:22:49.239 --> 02:22:52.719 are the all stars because every single accident or near accident, 2693 02:22:53.399 --> 02:22:56.280 they would try to glean from that the mistake or 2694 02:22:56.399 --> 02:22:59.719 mistakes were made, enhancements that could be made, and they 2695 02:22:59.719 --> 02:23:02.959 would pass those on as recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration, 2696 02:23:03.079 --> 02:23:07.159 saying here's our suggestions, twenty three ways where you can 2697 02:23:07.239 --> 02:23:10.239 make aviation safer. Now, my arivation is the FA might 2698 02:23:10.319 --> 02:23:13.440 take one or two of those only implement them into 2699 02:23:13.479 --> 02:23:17.840 new changes. But Brian, from every single accident or near accident, 2700 02:23:18.200 --> 02:23:21.760 we've made aviation safer. When we had the horrific crash 2701 02:23:21.840 --> 02:23:25.719 of Air Canada back here in the eighties of at CBGYE, 2702 02:23:26.159 --> 02:23:29.040 the NTSB came up, I think with twenty six different 2703 02:23:29.079 --> 02:23:32.879 recommendations on how to make aviation safer. Many of those 2704 02:23:32.959 --> 02:23:36.319 were implemented after that crash and the lives that were lost, 2705 02:23:36.799 --> 02:23:39.559 and you're always wanting to learn from the crash so 2706 02:23:39.719 --> 02:23:42.200 that any lives lost, we can honor the memory of 2707 02:23:42.360 --> 02:23:45.639 those that we did lose by making aviation safer. And 2708 02:23:45.719 --> 02:23:48.479 that's what they've done, year after year after year, and 2709 02:23:49.760 --> 02:23:54.120 thirteen point three trillion miles. That's alone a lot more 2710 02:23:54.159 --> 02:23:56.280 than my little brain. And I deal with numbers all 2711 02:23:56.319 --> 02:23:57.879 the time, build numbers that big. 2712 02:23:58.040 --> 02:24:00.399 I know, I know, I know, But like time I 2713 02:24:00.520 --> 02:24:02.879 mentioned you know a trillion dollars in debt or a 2714 02:24:02.959 --> 02:24:04.879 billion dollars spent, I always try to express it in 2715 02:24:05.000 --> 02:24:08.280 terms of thousands of millions, so you know you got 2716 02:24:08.319 --> 02:24:11.159 a billion, it's a thousand stacks of a million. A 2717 02:24:11.239 --> 02:24:14.000 trillion is a thousand stacks of a billion. It tends 2718 02:24:14.000 --> 02:24:16.760 to put things in perspective. So I appreciate your going 2719 02:24:16.799 --> 02:24:19.559 to the moon and back parallel on that figure. Let's pause. 2720 02:24:19.719 --> 02:24:20.200 It helps us. 2721 02:24:20.200 --> 02:24:22.600 Well, it's like the national debt right now, Yes, exactly 2722 02:24:22.920 --> 02:24:25.319 is thirty six trillion. And it's such a big number. 2723 02:24:26.000 --> 02:24:28.399 People don't understand it. But if you sat there and 2724 02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:31.799 went one, two, three, four in every second had a number, 2725 02:24:32.719 --> 02:24:34.479 it would take you a million years to get to 2726 02:24:34.639 --> 02:24:37.520 thirty six trillion. Yes, that's how big that number is. 2727 02:24:37.959 --> 02:24:40.440 Oh, I'm gonna get your blood pressure. 2728 02:24:41.280 --> 02:24:44.079 Yes, just well, yeah, pushing all my button and. 2729 02:24:44.159 --> 02:24:45.719 You're gonna you're gonna stay I see on behalf of 2730 02:24:45.799 --> 02:24:49.280 the Spirit Airline employees. I think I understand why they 2731 02:24:49.360 --> 02:24:52.360 are as you described, furious. We'll bring Jay back for 2732 02:24:52.440 --> 02:24:54.680 a couple more topics. Hang on, it's eight forty six, 2733 02:24:54.680 --> 02:24:59.879 i'f be right back fifty five the talk station the 2734 02:25:00.280 --> 02:25:02.639 half hour with that Jay Rattliff. I forced them to 2735 02:25:02.680 --> 02:25:07.239 stay on for the whole time. Just these topics are 2736 02:25:07.319 --> 02:25:10.959 great Spirit aeroloids. I think their employees are legitimately and 2737 02:25:11.079 --> 02:25:14.680 the word you chose furious explain to my listeners what 2738 02:25:15.000 --> 02:25:16.840 justifies their anger. 2739 02:25:18.079 --> 02:25:22.120 Well, you talk about how Spirit Airlines, which has gone 2740 02:25:22.159 --> 02:25:25.600 into Chapter eleven bankruptcy. But before they they made that 2741 02:25:25.840 --> 02:25:28.760 leap Brian, they started laying off a lot of other pilots, 2742 02:25:29.120 --> 02:25:32.239 some ground personnel. They were selling off their airplanes. They 2743 02:25:32.280 --> 02:25:34.719 were obviously in a lot of trouble. They tried they 2744 02:25:34.719 --> 02:25:36.959 were going to merge with Frontier, backed off of that, 2745 02:25:37.079 --> 02:25:39.440 tried to merge with Jet Blue, was denied. They went 2746 02:25:39.520 --> 02:25:41.879 back to Frontier. Frontier said no, we're not gonna merge 2747 02:25:41.879 --> 02:25:43.920 with you. So they're trying to make it on their own. 2748 02:25:44.399 --> 02:25:47.280 So they're selling off all of this, laying off employees. 2749 02:25:47.440 --> 02:25:50.879 And then it's found out after the paperwork comes out 2750 02:25:50.920 --> 02:25:53.959 on the Chapter eleven bankruptcy filings, because it's all right 2751 02:25:54.040 --> 02:25:57.920 there that just before the airline filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy, 2752 02:25:58.280 --> 02:26:01.440 they paid up five point three million dollars in retention 2753 02:26:01.600 --> 02:26:06.120 awards to five of their upper executives of the airline. 2754 02:26:06.319 --> 02:26:07.680 Now, imagine being laid. 2755 02:26:07.479 --> 02:26:09.760 Off, trying to figure out what you're gonna do with 2756 02:26:09.799 --> 02:26:12.159 your family for Christmas, and finding out that one of 2757 02:26:12.159 --> 02:26:13.719 the people used to work for was part of a 2758 02:26:13.840 --> 02:26:18.719 five point three million dollar bonus that was awarded before 2759 02:26:18.760 --> 02:26:21.879 the airline filed Chapter eleven bankruptcy. Now, Brian, all the 2760 02:26:22.000 --> 02:26:24.639 years I was in the industry, especially at Northwest Airlines, 2761 02:26:24.639 --> 02:26:27.719 I was in management, used to butt heads daily with 2762 02:26:28.440 --> 02:26:32.479 my union friends, and I was never considered a union 2763 02:26:32.559 --> 02:26:34.719 kind of guy ever. But I tell you, when I 2764 02:26:34.799 --> 02:26:37.200 see this kind of stuff where executives get this kind 2765 02:26:37.239 --> 02:26:40.520 of money, when they are the ones responsible for the 2766 02:26:40.639 --> 02:26:44.840 airline being driven into Chapter eleven bankruptcy, it makes me 2767 02:26:44.920 --> 02:26:47.760 want to lose my mind because I'm thinking, but that's 2768 02:26:47.840 --> 02:26:49.760 corporate America, and that's one of the reasons I couldn't 2769 02:26:49.760 --> 02:26:51.520 wait to get away from it all those years ago, 2770 02:26:51.559 --> 02:26:52.319 and it still. 2771 02:26:52.120 --> 02:26:56.959 Bugs me to this day, I imagine so well, anyhow, 2772 02:26:57.120 --> 02:27:00.120 I'm still sorry for them. Not the airline executive is 2773 02:27:00.200 --> 02:27:05.559 naturally Frontier taking an upgrade move here. They're going to 2774 02:27:05.600 --> 02:27:07.520 provide premium first class seats. 2775 02:27:07.600 --> 02:27:11.040 Now, yep, I love Frontier. Remember they're the carrier that 2776 02:27:11.120 --> 02:27:13.719 came here first, bringing their one flight to day from 2777 02:27:13.799 --> 02:27:17.319 Dayton to Denver down to Cincinnati. When people said, you're crazy, 2778 02:27:17.440 --> 02:27:19.520 that's where low cost carriers go to die. You'll never 2779 02:27:19.600 --> 02:27:23.399 make it. Frontier flourished. Here comes Allegiant, Southwest moves our 2780 02:27:23.440 --> 02:27:27.159 operation from Dayton. I love Frontier, and what they've said is, look, 2781 02:27:27.200 --> 02:27:29.639 some of our customers are saying they'd like premium seats. 2782 02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:32.479 So what they're going to do is they're on their 2783 02:27:32.559 --> 02:27:35.680 low cost carrier Airbus Aircraft. The first two roads are 2784 02:27:35.719 --> 02:27:38.680 going to be first class. And what they're saying is 2785 02:27:38.799 --> 02:27:41.920 we're hearing what our passengers want. But they're also following 2786 02:27:41.959 --> 02:27:44.280 the lead up. Remember Southwest Airlines is going to go 2787 02:27:44.399 --> 02:27:48.600 to assigned seats and have some premium or coach plus seats. 2788 02:27:49.079 --> 02:27:51.479 You've got other low cost carriers looking at this. 2789 02:27:52.040 --> 02:27:52.159 Now. 2790 02:27:52.239 --> 02:27:55.159 Frontier says, look, our numbers say, if we give our 2791 02:27:56.959 --> 02:28:00.879 travelers first class, we're gonna have ational revenue in twenty 2792 02:28:00.959 --> 02:28:03.559 twenty six to two hundred and fifty million dollars. They 2793 02:28:03.639 --> 02:28:06.360 think in twenty twenty eight that additional revenue because of 2794 02:28:06.399 --> 02:28:08.840 those premium seats that are going to be a little 2795 02:28:08.840 --> 02:28:11.120 bit more expensive than the typical Frontier seat, it's going 2796 02:28:11.159 --> 02:28:13.520 to be five hundred million dollars in revenue in twenty 2797 02:28:13.559 --> 02:28:15.879 twenty eight. So they're going to be giving passengers what 2798 02:28:16.000 --> 02:28:18.680 they're asking for. They're going to make more money as 2799 02:28:18.760 --> 02:28:22.000 a result, and to fly a low cost carrier with 2800 02:28:22.760 --> 02:28:26.239 a first class option. I love that because what you're 2801 02:28:26.280 --> 02:28:28.399 doing is you're giving the passenger more options. You don't 2802 02:28:28.440 --> 02:28:31.520 have to sit there. But like every other carrier, they're saying, 2803 02:28:31.600 --> 02:28:34.280 we can really make some good money here by making 2804 02:28:34.360 --> 02:28:37.760 this option available for passengers. And I tell you it's 2805 02:28:37.799 --> 02:28:40.319 a move that from the low cost carrier side, airlines 2806 02:28:40.319 --> 02:28:42.879 are shifting in that direction. Spirit Airlines was also a 2807 02:28:43.000 --> 02:28:46.159 carrier that's decided to do that, which is a long 2808 02:28:46.360 --> 02:28:49.360 overdue that's going to help them type of move. I 2809 02:28:49.399 --> 02:28:50.639 wish they had done it years before. 2810 02:28:51.479 --> 02:28:54.319 Well, it takes it takes a little bit of that 2811 02:28:54.600 --> 02:28:58.159 budget stereotype off of the airline by having that option. 2812 02:28:58.319 --> 02:28:59.639 And you know, if you want you want to stretch 2813 02:28:59.639 --> 02:29:01.360 your leg out and still get a discount flight, it 2814 02:29:01.399 --> 02:29:02.559 sounds like a great idea to me. 2815 02:29:03.239 --> 02:29:04.079 All Right, you're gonna be. 2816 02:29:04.079 --> 02:29:05.639 On the premium if youre's gonna be up front. You 2817 02:29:05.680 --> 02:29:07.760 know a lot of people take take the bulkhead rows 2818 02:29:07.799 --> 02:29:09.600 like we do on those carriers. Sure, so you've got 2819 02:29:09.680 --> 02:29:11.799 that extra leg room, but to have a slightly bigger seat, 2820 02:29:11.840 --> 02:29:13.079 oh my gosh, yeah, sign me up. 2821 02:29:13.239 --> 02:29:16.559 Yeah, no doubt about it, especially given the spillover effects 2822 02:29:16.639 --> 02:29:19.959 some flyers have into your seat. Leave it at that, 2823 02:29:20.799 --> 02:29:21.600 And as next to. 2824 02:29:21.639 --> 02:29:23.399 My wife, Sherry, I'm always in good shape. 2825 02:29:24.399 --> 02:29:25.200 I know you are. 2826 02:29:26.000 --> 02:29:27.920 See that you married out of your element, you got 2827 02:29:28.079 --> 02:29:29.760 kicked your coverage taking good. 2828 02:29:30.280 --> 02:29:32.360 I'm so far I'm married so far above my I 2829 02:29:32.479 --> 02:29:33.639 know you're exactly right. 2830 02:29:33.840 --> 02:29:35.719 I know you and I both acknowledge that on a 2831 02:29:35.799 --> 02:29:38.479 regular basis as well we should. And it's smart advice 2832 02:29:38.520 --> 02:29:40.799 to men out there who are considering a spouse, marry 2833 02:29:40.920 --> 02:29:44.200 out of your league, oh big time. The more the 2834 02:29:44.280 --> 02:29:47.440 better of delays. What's going on out there in the 2835 02:29:47.479 --> 02:29:49.920 world of travel today, Jay, A lot of. 2836 02:29:50.159 --> 02:29:53.680 Wind and weather towards the northeast, Washington, d C. New York, 2837 02:29:53.879 --> 02:29:56.280 especially Boston's getting pounded right now. We're sending quite a 2838 02:29:56.280 --> 02:29:59.520 few delays up there that sadly, are going to last throughout. 2839 02:29:59.280 --> 02:29:59.879 The rest of the day. 2840 02:30:00.120 --> 02:30:04.479 Anything south, anything west, very good shape. I don't think 2841 02:30:04.479 --> 02:30:06.159 you're going to see much as far as any other 2842 02:30:06.200 --> 02:30:08.760 than minor morning the icing delays, but those aren't too much. 2843 02:30:09.079 --> 02:30:10.959 But the real headaches, obviously, Brian today are. 2844 02:30:10.920 --> 02:30:13.440 Going to be the Northeast, as always, wonderful having you 2845 02:30:13.440 --> 02:30:15.559 on the fifty five Cascity Morning Show Jay Ratliffe, and 2846 02:30:15.639 --> 02:30:18.719 looking forward to next Thursday and another enjoyable conversation.
