Secretary of State Frank LeRose 27 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.439 in the studio coming up at seven o five, followed 28 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.799 by Tim Keller, founder of US Diabetes Care. He'll be 29 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.760 talking about educating the public about ending the diabetes epidemic 30 00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:00.519 in America. And it is send you adults with chronic conditions, 31 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.200 including diabetes. We got a real problem with hypertension and 32 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.680 obesity in this country. Interesting timing on this headline for 33 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.280 the Wall Street General. How chronic disease become became the 34 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.080 biggest scourge in American health. Americans live shorter and sicker 35 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.840 lives than people in other high income countries. Hypertension number one. 36 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:27.080 Percentage of adults with hypertension just under fifty percent, Obesity 37 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.960 a little bit north of forty percent. This is the 38 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.039 entire US population the adult population, diabetes coming into number third. 39 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.680 About fifteen percent of the nation's adults have diabetes. Kidney 40 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.800 disease right behind it, just by a tiny little bit 41 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.080 asthma about eight percent, and then COPD looks like about 42 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:51.120 five or six percent. So we're in a sorry state 43 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.639 of affairs when it comes to our health. And you know, 44 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.000 cheers the RFK Junior for trying to bring it all 45 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.879 to our attention. You know, again, I've talked mentioned many times. 46 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.240 I was really happy that he got that appointment because 47 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.080 he's not going to touch the crazy stuff that he 48 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.800 believes in, like, for example, the Green New Deal crap, 49 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.080 which I'm going to touch on just here in a second. 50 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.039 So following Tim Keller from US Diabetes Care, we'll hear 51 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.280 from doctor Paul Winfrey, CEO Economic Policy Innovation Center on 52 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.560 Medicaid reform. He happens to be a former White House 53 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.919 Budget Director. And then, of course it being Friday Eve, 54 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.800 Jay Ratliffe.

She agrees with me, least in so far 64 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.000 as my view of his violation of the cardinal rule 65 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.840 of baseball, which he knew well, he knew about well 66 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.800 in advance, then his repeated lies to all of his 67 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.240 fans that he never bet at all on sports, and 68 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.919 then never bet on baseball. Oh then I did bet 69 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.360 on baseball, but I never bet on the Reds. And 70 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:09.719 then oh yeah, I did bet on the Reds, but 71 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.199 I never bet against him. Okay, I know he's one 72 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.360 of the greatest, if not the greatest game player in 73 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.879 the game of baseball of all time. Statistics do not lie. 74 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.040 I watched him play. I know all that. But you know, 75 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.240 gotta be consequences for violating the rules anyhow. But thank you, Jenny. 76 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.279 She sent me an in some message on Facebook saying, 77 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.240 I agree with you. So I just wanted to nothing 78 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.600 not alone anyway five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, 79 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:40.959 eight hundred and eight two three Talk Time five fifty 80 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.959 on eighteen de funes. Care to call a comment, I'd 81 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.199 love to hear from you. I enjoyed talking with the listeners. 82 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.240 I really do. Judge Nita Polatano yesterday you can hear 83 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.680 Congressman Massi preceding Judge Nita Politano and mostly the Budget 84 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.160 Reconciliation Bill, and they're still arguing over that, which is 85 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.439 why I'm glad we got the uh uh, the Economic 86 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.800 and Policy Innovation Center guide doctor Paul Win for you 87 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.519 on talk about Medicaid reform, because the Left is just 88 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.120 nuts on this one. Oh my god, they're going to 89 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.879 take medicare away from millions of America. We're talking about 90 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.959 able body, working age people they should be working. Got almighty. 91 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.639 That's it, really, I mean, it doesn't really cut that 92 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.040 much out. It's just that, dude, you use the job 93 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.399 opportunities out here, and we're only asking to work twenty 94 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.920 hours a week, work twenty hours a week. Put that work, 95 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.480 make that effort toward getting a career in the trades. Look, 96 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.600 thousands and thousands and thousands of trade jobs are out there. 97 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.000 And available waiting to be filled. People from the industries 98 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.839 are out going into high schools and hiring juniors in 99 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.959 high schools to work for them. Another article just was 100 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.160 several days ago, if not when we last week, was 101 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.360 within the last week, talking about that kid out of 102 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.680 high school starting hitting the ground running at seventy thousand 103 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.279 dollars a year, because as the company went into the 104 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.560 school and started soliciting young people to work for them, 105 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.519 get him interested in the trades. Hey, look, you know 106 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.680 you can be an electrician. I'd love to have you 107 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.759 working at my company. Let's start you on the right path. 108 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.839 You're in shop class. Great, that's the kind of people 109 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.680 we're looking for. So you know, there's all these able 110 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.959 bodied people out in the world. And they're also removing 111 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.600 illegal immigrants from the medicaid roles or medicaid availability, which 112 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:33.680 is good. And you know, Gavin Newsom's wanting to run 113 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.120 for president because he just now has proposed to freeze 114 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.199 on allowing adult illegal immigrants to join California's medicaid program. 115 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.720 Oh why, because it's wildly popular in California's found itself 116 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.519 in a twelve billion dollar budget hole. Got to find 117 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.839 the money somewhere, don't you. Let's not give it to 118 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.839 illegal immigrants. They're straining the system. It's one of the 119 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.680 reasons why the open borders created a massive problem for 120 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.600 our economy and for local school districts and everything else 121 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:10.639 that they flooded. It's one of the areas the Democrats 122 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.000 are on the wrong side of the Ledger politically. Maybe 123 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.680 it's why they're failing so bad. And I can pivot 124 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.279 over to this given the amount of time I have 125 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:24.600 left in the segment. Joe Biden is obviously a problem. 126 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.160 You and I knew about it. We talked about it 127 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.240 all the time. His cognitive decline was evident for the 128 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.040 whole world to see. It was an embarrassment, a global embarrassment. 129 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.000 We all knew about it, and yet everybody around him 130 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.000 kept saying nothing wrong with him. He's sharp as attack. Well, 131 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.360 all these new books are coming out from all the 132 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.680 left wingers who defended Joe Biden and said he was 133 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.079 not cognitively impaired and there was no doubt downhill slide, 134 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.040 And so a lot of the former Biden's supporters or 135 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.160 deniers as I should I could say, are being asked 136 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.720 questions about it. There's a new talking point in town, folks. 137 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.360 And when you read it all together in one article. 138 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.800 I got this Fox News article by Hannah Panrik, it 139 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.839 comes across as just comical, which is why in the 140 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.839 five o'clock I remay as well focus on a little 141 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:18.079 comedy like we do with the Stacker is stupid. They're 142 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:23.040 deflecting questions about President former President Biden's cognitive decline since 143 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.360 all these books are coming out with specific quotes and 144 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:33.440 examples and illustrations of it. Sentimnority leader Chuck Schimmer dismissed 145 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.480 questions surrounding this latest book to come out with allegations 146 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:41.080 of the president's decline. On cn and MSNBC, various media 147 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.399 outlets that are typically left winning are asking pointed questions 148 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.759 about Biden. So he's on CNN, Casey Hunt is asking 149 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.960 him a question, did you really not have any idea 150 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.600 that he was not fit to serve a second term? 151 00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:02.679 Straightforward question? His reply, Cassie looking forward. Then he pivoted 152 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.480 over to Medicaid, which wasn't part of the question. We 153 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.120 have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us, we 154 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:10.360 have the whole federal government. That's kind of where he ended. 155 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.919 But she pushed back, is that not Joe Biden's responsibility 156 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.480 for deciding to run again? Meaning the fact that Donald 157 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.600 Trump is president of the United States of America. Now. 158 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.720 His reply, We're looking forward. Then she said that's it. 159 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.240 Schumer said, that's it, and that was, in fact the 160 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.240 end of the interview. So the most recent book Jack 161 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.879 Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson have this book 162 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.360 coming out, and there's a lot of quotes from it 163 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.480 out there in the world already original sin President Biden's decline, 164 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.759 it's cover up, and his disastrous choice to run again. 165 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.600 Schumer over on MSNBC being interviewed by Katie Turr, who 166 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.559 asked him, well about a quoted a specific portion of 167 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.840 the book, and then then and asked, do you think 168 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.559 Biden deserves the blame for the loss in twenty twenty four, 169 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:06.360 on the heels of a question about one of these 170 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.840 batcrap and saying statements that Biden had made to Chucky. 171 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:17.799 His reply, you know what's coming, Katie, We're looking forward. 172 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.000 We have the largest medicaid cut in history. Facing this, 173 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.200 we are focused on the future and doing right for 174 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.519 the American people. Plain and simple sounds remarkably similar to 175 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.240 his pat answer over in CNN. 176 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.320 Doesn't it did just answer the question that question to 177 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.480 be honest, big yeah, answer to answer the question, Claire, 178 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:36.360 talk to us. 179 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.799 Come on here, Jersey. 180 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.840 It's only one question, Joe. 181 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.960 You know what, as I was reading through this article, 182 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.120 that's exactly the SoundBite I was going to just speak 183 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.720 to you about even adding that. But see, you know 184 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.480 so Turf follows up and asked if Biden actually said 185 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.600 what was reported in the book the quote that she read. 186 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.639 His reply, you know, it's we're looking forward. Gave the 187 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.320 same responsoring a press conference early today when reporter asked 188 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.039 if he was being straight with the American people and 189 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.519 posting on X in June that the president was quote 190 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.879 in command and impressive close quote that's Chuckie Schumer's ex 191 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:21.679 post report apparently juxtapost Schumer's post with an insider describing 192 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:27.120 Tapper and Thompson a terrifying that's in quotes moment. That 193 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.720 same month, when Biden failed to recognize award winning actor 194 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:36.080 George Clooney at a June fundraiser, Schumer dismissed the question, saying, ready, 195 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:43.600 we're just looking forward. Asked by a reporter on Tuesday, 196 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.600 whether it was helpful for Democrats Democratic Caucus to have 197 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:51.240 these books about Biden in the twenty four campaign. Oh yeah, 198 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.600 it's really helpful, and whether he wanted Biden to help 199 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.559 campaign for Democrats Minority Leader Hakim Jeffreys, pivoting over to 200 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.240 another Democrat politician who got the same talking points, quote, 201 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.960 we're not looking backward, We're looking forward at this particular 202 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:11.440 moment in time. Thanks Hakem. Moving over to Governor J. B. Pritzker, 203 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.759 who would like to be president. I think they'll have 204 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:25.080 to enlarge the Oval office if he becomes president. He 205 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.840 said the commentary about the president self was very backward looking. 206 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:38.840 On CNN a sort of a twist on that we're 207 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:45.600 looking forward talking point from Pritzker. Amy Klobashar, Senator mission 208 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:51.759 Minnesota on NBC talking to Christen Welker about Biden's insistence 209 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.360 that it didn't matter they drop out of the race 210 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.120 in July, only giving former President of Vice President Kamala 211 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.480 Harris ninety days the campaign. You know, everything we look 212 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.279 at in a rear view mirror after you lose an election. Yes, 213 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.600 we would like to have been served better by a primary, 214 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.600 but we are where we are. We're not in the 215 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.840 history channel right now. And I believe that President Biden 216 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.399 can come out and speak and do interviews whenever he wants, 217 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.639 but I will say this, we're not in a history 218 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:25.120 channel doubling down. So there's your Democrat talking point. They 219 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.519 don't want to answer any questions about they're lying to you, 220 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.399 and that's kind of worth pointing out. He was a 221 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.840 starry state of affairs. He wasn't in control of his 222 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.720 own faculties. The executive pen was not being wielded by 223 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.039 Joe Biden's own hand. That was being wielded by a machine. 224 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.600 We all joked about wondering who the puppet masters were 225 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.519 for years during the Biden presidency. Who's the puppet masters, 226 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.080 Who's the one pulling the strings? A lot of my 227 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.080 listening audience believed to be Barack Obama. Maybe it was 228 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:05.519 doctor Jill. I don't know, but the Democrats surrounding him 229 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:11.559 lied to you. Not worthy of being rewarded for that 230 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.240 lying to you. Five nineteen fifty five kres see the 231 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.519 dog station and feel free to give me a call. 232 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.519 I got more to talk about coming up right back 233 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:25.159 after these three words. Here is your channel nine first 234 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:29.639 morning one forecast Today partly cloudy, warm, humid, late afternoon 235 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.480 and evening storms are expected, and they say around seven 236 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.240 pm to two am three time frames from the storms, 237 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:38.039 eighty five will be the high Today, clouds of a 238 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.799 night muggy four storms are possible, sixty eight for the low, 239 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.600 eighty two to the high. Tomorrow morning storms in the south. 240 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.159 Afternoon evening storms are likely about five pm start when 241 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.120 gus tornadoes treshild downpours are all possible. Dogs and cats 242 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.440 looting together again, eighty to the high, sixty two the 243 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.600 overnight low with rain ending. And on Saturday level partly 244 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.200 cloudy with dry dead which is nice. Sunday they say 245 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.399 it looks good to seventy three for the high on Saturday. 246 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:10.519 What is it right now? Sixty forur degrees here at 247 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:17.480 fifty five per CEB Talk station five two. Happy Thursday two. 248 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:23.960 You after Trump's executive role to reduce to the costs 249 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.480 of prescription pharmaceutical drugs. Listen to most Favored nation status. 250 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.559 Say what you want about it. It's price fixing. Republicans 251 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.000 aren't into that, but you know what, it's an unequal 252 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.320 playing field. Why do other countries get the benefit of 253 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.639 lower pharmaceuticals shouldering, leaving the burden, just leaving us to 254 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.159 shoulder the burden of all the fat profit for the 255 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.120 pharmaceutical companies funding research and development. That's one of the 256 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.120 cries from people who are against the proposal. But I've 257 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.399 been speculating and wondering what the Democrats were going to 258 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:51.919 do by way of response to that, because you know, 259 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.200 evil orange Man proposes literally anything, and they're against it 260 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.600 just because well, evil orange Man said it. So I 261 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:08.759 was actually surprised. Representative Rocanna, no right winger or Trump fan, Rocana, 262 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.039 Democrat from California, he has introduced legislation to codify Trump's 263 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:19.080 executive order. He shared a video which he spoke from 264 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.840 the House floor, explaining that if he can cross the 265 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.399 aisle and support Trump's executive order and legislation, each Republican 266 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.120 should be willing to cross the isle as well. Will 267 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.399 basically not him across theil just support Trump and his 268 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.120 efforts to make this and make this a law. You say, 269 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.559 the only way lawmakers could stand up the big farmer 270 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.480 is to codify in legislation what the President wants to 271 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.399 do in an executive order. Today, I am introducing legislation 272 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.879 to codify President Trump's executive order he wrote ensuring Americans 273 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.480 do not pay more than people in other countries for drugs. 274 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:55.080 Will Congress members stand with sixteen billion dollars in big 275 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.159 pharm of money, meaning that's to be the campaign contributions 276 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:02.360 that farmer shells out or with the American people by 277 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:08.759 co sponsoring this bipartisan legislation. How about that? So Trump 278 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.720 did something the Democrats like, well, at least one. It'll 279 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:21.440 be interesting to see where this goes. And this legislation, 280 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.000 the Democrats legislation apparently comes as Representative Andy Ouggles of 281 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.319 Tennessee and sixteen other colleagues working to encourage Mike Johnson 282 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.839 Speaker to start codifying some of Trump's other executive orders 283 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.279 into law. So maybe we'll have nice big package of 284 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.880 executive orders codified, which will remove the argument that Trump 285 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.240 does not wield the authority with his executive pen to 286 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.720 make such sweeping changes to the landscape out there. I 287 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.799 know that's a criticism from the left about Trump the 288 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.160 imperial presidency. I have concerns about it myself, generally speaking, 289 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.400 because you know, someday there may be a Democrat in 290 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.160 office and he or she may wield the pen even 291 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:01.519 more than Donald Trump's wielding it. So anyhow, there's the 292 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.599 answer to my question. I guess the Democrats actually have 293 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:10.559 found something that Donald Trump does that they don't get 294 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.440 wigged out over. Five twenty five. I five KRCD talk stations. 295 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.680 Stick around. IVE got local stories coming up. Alternatively your 296 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.400 phone calls, which I appreciate, but there is plenty to 297 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.079 talk about local stories and be right back fifty five 298 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.079 krc the talk station. 299 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:26.599 I want you to. 300 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:33.799 It's five twenty nine. If they do have KRCD talk station, 301 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.920 then a happy Thursday to you local stories. You know, 302 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.839 I don't have a problem if you gamble. I'm not 303 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.119 much of a gambler myself, because you're likely to lose. 304 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.920 That's how casinos are built. Look around you, Where did 305 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.160 all the money come from to build this place? Yeah, 306 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.799 the odds are against you. And a lot of people 307 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.519 have problems with it, you know, with with gambling. They're 308 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.359 addicted to it. The problem gamblers. That's why we have, 309 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.559 you know, a gambling addiction clinics and programs out there 310 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.359 in the world. That's a proposal here in the State 311 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.880 of Ohio. Legislation introduced in the State House legalizing eye gaming. 312 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:11.880 This making it easy for you to gamble right from 313 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.160 your phone. Some of the states have already done this. 314 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:21.599 Senate President Rob McCauley Napoleon Republican, once to potentially legalize 315 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.079 a new form of gaming. Talking to State House News Bureau, 316 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.480 it might be the time to make the movie, he said, 317 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.680 I think there's a different tone and tenor about some 318 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.839 of the things that maybe there there was ten than 319 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.799 there was ten years ago. I think a lot of 320 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.720 times Ohioans want to have a little bit more choice 321 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.880 and how they spend their money and spend the recreational time. 322 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:41.319 I think it's something we're going to talk about. Well, 323 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.200 the reason he's doing this is because it's a huge 324 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.599 amount of taxes that will be generated on it. They 325 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.359 point out it will generate millions of tax revenue. Michigan 326 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.240 in twenty twenty four collected four hundred and fifty one 327 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.960 million dollars. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania brought in eight hundred and four 328 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.519 one million dollars. Oh look a revenue source. Yeah, let's 329 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.319 make it really easy. You can place slot machines on 330 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:12.519 your cell phone. State Representative Bride Rose Sweeney, she's a 331 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.960 Democrat from West Lake introduced legislation asking that any new 332 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.960 money generated from this be spent on K through twelve, 333 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.359 public education, publicly funded childcare, and yes programs to address 334 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.960 problem gambling, facilitate the problem gambling, and then seek to 335 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.400 solve the problems from your facilitation. Again, I'm not against it, 336 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:35.640 mainly because I think people should be free to spend 337 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.960 their money as they wish. I just realize that this 338 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.720 is going to create more problem gamblers out there, so 339 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.480 easy to just pick your phone up and go down 340 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.799 that road.

I called the Attorney 692 00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:06.480 General's office and also the auditor State Auditor's Office, and 693 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.199 they have a fraud hotline, and so I reported it 694 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:14.320 as fraud and just to see if I could get 695 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.519 somebody to say yes or no, this is or is 696 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:20.239 not constitutional. You could put your finger on the part 697 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.199 of the Ohio State Constitution that allows us to happen. 698 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:29.559 And the State Auditor's Office sent me an email back saying, quote, 699 00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.639 we discussed it, it's staff and decided there's nothing nothing 700 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.800 really to pursue here. And that's all the response I 701 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:41.559 got from the Auditor's Office, which I think their purpose 702 00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.559 and the reason they exist is to make sure that 703 00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:49.559 Ohio tax dollars aren't being wasted. The other point I 704 00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:53.440 made to them is recall that Jobs Ohio exists is 705 00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:58.360 a private public partnership where all the liquor license sales 706 00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.960 in the state of Ohio goes to Jobs Ohio, and 707 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.079 that's where our economic development dollars are supposed to be 708 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.719 be coming from and funded through Jobs Ohio, which just 709 00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:14.039 recently got like a ten or fifteen year extension. This 710 00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:17.079 is the six hundred million that the Browns didn't come 711 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:21.039 from Jobs Ohio. They came out of just general legislation, 712 00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:23.199 out of the you know we're gonna we're gonna raise 713 00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:26.880 bonds to fund this called the Attorney General's office, and 714 00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.360 it wasn't any better. They they pretty much told me 715 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.519 that if I wanted to get any help, I need 716 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.440 to have to hire a lawyer. And I told them 717 00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:36.639 I already did. It's called the Ohio Attorney General's Office, 718 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.360 and I'm asking them, do you not support the Ohio taxpayers? 719 00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:45.199 And they told me no, we represent the state of 720 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:50.199 Ohio and the departments within the state of Ohio. I 721 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.840 had to go up through three people before I was 722 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:54.840 able to get a hold of a guy who agreed 723 00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:57.239 with me that they're supposed to be acting on behalf 724 00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.880 of the Ohio taxpayers. But then he told me to 725 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.440 stay tuned. You know that gun contact my legislator. Yes, 726 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:06.920 he said, well, it hasn't been voted on in the Senate. 727 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.280 I said, this is not the point. I'm not talking 728 00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.920 to you about what the legislative process is. I'm asking you, 729 00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:16.559 are you the highest law enforcement and can you put 730 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:18.679 your finger on the part of the constitution that what 731 00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.400 allows this to happen? And how is this any different 732 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:23.360 from Larry Householders bail. 733 00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:24.199 Out of First Energy? 734 00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:28.880 And there was no good answers. But you know, Matt 735 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:31.760 Hoffman is just a cheaper horner than Larry Householder. I 736 00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.599 think his campaign donation from the Browns with sixty three 737 00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:40.280 thousand dollars or six hundred million. So First Energy probably 738 00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.400 needs to talk to the Browns to figure out to 739 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:49.719 get maybe pointers on how to buy influence with Republicans 740 00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.800 in Columbus. But I wanted to get your opinion on this. 741 00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.320 Am I way out of in left field on reporting 742 00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:57.039 this as fraud? 743 00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:01.440 Yeah? If fraud, is it wrongful or deception intended to 744 00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:04.719 result in financial personal gain. Now, what you have here 745 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.079 is a situation where you're trying to find someone who 746 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.559 actually represents the taxpayers of the state of Ohio. That's 747 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:13.159 who our elected officials are supposed to be They're supposed 748 00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.679 to represent us and our interests. Now, clearly they are 749 00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:19.400 interested in helping the Browns. And I suppose the retort 750 00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:23.039 will be that, well, this is a worthwhile investment because 751 00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:25.599 the amount of taxpayer dollars that will be generated as 752 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.119 a consequence of this stadium and the activities that go 753 00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.519 on around it will be a net plus for the 754 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:33.480 state of Ohio, or at least for Cuyahoga County. So 755 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:38.199 and they'll cite some nonsensical Barber Streiss in a foundation 756 00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:41.280 survey that will support that, Yeah, this is going to 757 00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:42.679 bring in a lot of jobs, is going to bring 758 00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:44.519 a lot of tax revenue, it's going to generate a 759 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:48.639 lot of interest, et cetera, and ergo, it's worth the investment. 760 00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:51.760 And you know, I'm using that term delicately of six 761 00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:54.840 hundred million dollars in Ohio tax payer dollars and the 762 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:56.079 debt goes along with it. 763 00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.159 Yeah, well, but the Browns have been around for seventy 764 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:02.519 years and is still a dumb so uh, I would 765 00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:05.039 I would say, I would say it's trying to call 766 00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:08.840 that a failed experiment on that Ohio tax payer funding. Well, 767 00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:11.760 it's it'd be it'd be a great question for frank 768 00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:14.599 LeRose if he was to get down Auditor's office. Number one, 769 00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:18.639 my favorite topic is what about this medicaid fraud? Where 770 00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:18.960 are we. 771 00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:19.639 At right now? 772 00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:21.599 Are we still last in the country? And can we 773 00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:24.159 take that a fraction of the six hundred million we're 774 00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:26.159 going to give to the Browns. Could we have put 775 00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:30.079 a hundred million into the fixing the system across eighty 776 00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:33.440 eight counties? Where Keith Faber said it it smells like work, 777 00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:37.599 it looks kind of hard. Therefore, I'd rather not which 778 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.760 Frank LeRose take that on, and would he also take 779 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:42.559 a look at this, as somebody explained to me, the 780 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:46.360 difference between Larry Householder and First Energy and Matt Humpman 781 00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:47.840 and the Cleveland Browns. 782 00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:51.320 Yeah, I think it's a fair point you're making on that. Obviously, 783 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:55.719 campaign contributions flowed into him. Uh and uh the money 784 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:57.639 came from the Browns and the family in the in 785 00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.559 the in the group that owns the Browns. So there's 786 00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:02.960 there's an interesting parallel that can be drawn there. But 787 00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:06.400 let's face it, every single day of the year, some 788 00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.480 politician is getting money from somebody that's got a vested 789 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:12.480 interest in legislation that's coming out of the u of 790 00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:16.280 the House and Senate. It's just the way politics works. 791 00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:19.639 I mean, that's why some people who's our watchdog, Brian 792 00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:21.920 is the Attorney General's office? 793 00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.400 Is it the auditors who's not doing their job here? 794 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:27.679 We aren't doing our job. The phone should be lit up. 795 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:32.599 A yeah, we have an obligation to scream bloody murder 796 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.119 at those guys for even considering the proposal in the 797 00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.239 first place. I mean, we have an obligation to our 798 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:40.920 fellow citizens to to to light the phones up and 799 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.360 say this must stop. You know, I would hope. 800 00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:46.880 That there is there's more safeguards that if they can't 801 00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:49.199 put their finger on them a part of the constitution 802 00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:51.639 that says that this is allowed, that there would be 803 00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.760 some watchdog Otherwise, you know what, just cut the Attorney 804 00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.039 General's office, cut the Auditor's office. It's one more expensive 805 00:45:58.079 --> 00:45:58.639 we don't need. 806 00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:01.119 Well, I'll agree with you another expense we don't need. 807 00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:03.840 I'll agree with you that it just stinks of impropriety. 808 00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:08.199 We're paying for a private company's play field. It it 809 00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:11.639 won't be used much during the year, and it's just wrong. 810 00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:14.719 Across the board. But these are the who these are 811 00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.880 the people that we elected. And remember it hasn't passed yet. 812 00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:19.960 I mean, you know, if you're gonna like the phones 813 00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.679 of get in touch with your senator, say hell no, I. 814 00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:27.480 Haven't believed me. But I'm thinking that if we are 815 00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.320 just the state of Ohio is just the wild West 816 00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.360 where we have all of these false front attorney generals 817 00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.360 as state auditors. But really it's going to fall in 818 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:41.760 the back of voters to guide the politicians with no 819 00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:44.960 oversight of who is the one that's going to throw 820 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.639 the flag and say that's not in the constitution. Plus, 821 00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:51.480 we have this thing called drops Ohio Economic Development Dollars 822 00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.039 we're supposed to come out of there. What's this other 823 00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:56.119 bucket of money coming out of the general fund that 824 00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.480 we're going to raise debt to go fund. I haven't 825 00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:01.639 heard anybody ask that question. That seems like we've extended 826 00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:07.199 jobs Ohio ten fifteen more years recently the inxpectation to 827 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:08.840 death six hundred million come out of there. 828 00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:11.880 Well, I mean, I can't argue with what you're saying, 829 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:16.039 but you know, based on just just simple principle, it's wrong. 830 00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:18.679 And how is it that the Cleveland Browns are the 831 00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:20.719 ones that get the money to the exclusion of all 832 00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.519 the other counties, because remember the legislation is for counties 833 00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:25.800 with the population of a million or more. Ow look 834 00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:29.360 Cuyhoga County and probably Franklin County, but certainly not Hamilton 835 00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:30.599 Hamilton County. 836 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:34.320 And that was the other ask I had for each 837 00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:36.400 of them, is if you're going to do this, then 838 00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:40.280 you have to codify it for every business owner in Ohio. 839 00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:47.320 Tell us the process by which that we can I mean, 840 00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:49.159 if it's good for one, you guys ought to put 841 00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:51.239 out of paper, put out a statement, put out a 842 00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:54.159 process and a policy that says, here's how you too 843 00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:58.719 can pay Matt Upman sixty three thousand dollars and get 844 00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:00.440 six hundred million voted. 845 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:03.519 As you say that, you know, in my mind is 846 00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:06.519 pivoting over to these green new deal energy projects. How 847 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:09.079 is it that one company is the recipient of literally 848 00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:12.519 millions of American taxpayer dollars and the other company, which 849 00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:16.000 is engaged in the same business is not. They're always 850 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:18.159 they always are in the business of picking and choosing 851 00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:20.880 the winners and losers. And this is what elected officials 852 00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:25.360 do every day on every level in every jurisdiction. Yeah, well, 853 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:27.079 at least the Hamlin kind of voters got to say 854 00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:30.239 when they voted to build the stadium here so long ago. 855 00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:34.239 The deal that was worked out was obviously not what 856 00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.079 was sold to the public generally speaking before we voted 857 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.599 on it. So but in this particular case, our elected 858 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:43.079 officials were sent there for a reason to represent us 859 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.519 and our best interests, and I think they failed across 860 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.000 the board in letting this get through. So like the 861 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:51.039 phones up, get in touch with your senators and tell 862 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.000 them hell no, appreciate the call Jay six fifteen right 863 00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.480 now if you have KCV talk station. Sounds like you 864 00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:57.960 could probably use a little bit of time at Gata 865 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:03.880 Heaven Cemetery to relax and engage in quiet contemplation maybe 866 00:49:03.880 --> 00:49:07.639 prayer reflection. It's a perfect place to do that. It's gorgeous. 867 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:09.880 I drive by it every single day on my way 868 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:14.760 home from work on Montgomery Road. It is beautifully maintained. 869 00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:17.840 It is a just the trees and the landscaping and 870 00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:20.480 the spring flowers that are coming up right now. Yeah, 871 00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:23.400 this is the perfect location for that, you know, quiet contemplation. 872 00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:25.599 That's what it's there for. And The Gate of Heaven 873 00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:29.360 Cemetery welcomes everyone.

Al, 907 00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:06.360 thanks for calling today, Welcome to the program. 908 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.000 Good morning, and how are you today? 909 00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:12.199 I'm doing okay, IL hope you can say the same. 910 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:17.199 Oh, I was doing fine until the ad Hominin attack 911 00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:20.079 on my fair city of Cleveland. By j. 912 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.559 We have a Cleveland supporter. I'll go ahead, have about it. 913 00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:27.559 I was gonna say me, if you take Jay at 914 00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:29.960 his word and Cleveland is as bad as he says 915 00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.800 it is, then maybe that's one of the reasons why 916 00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:34.880 they need this multi billion dollar mega complex for everyone 917 00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.360 to enjoy, to improve, to improve Cuihoga. 918 00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:45.000 Guy, they are trying. Unfortunately, we've got the wrong political 919 00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:48.880 stripe running the city, just as Cincinnati is. Yeah, but 920 00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:54.199 you know, I've lived in both towns, and my statement 921 00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:57.280 to Jay is and Cincinnati is different. 922 00:51:57.440 --> 00:51:59.599 How So. 923 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:08.239 That's they're pros and cons to both cities. 924 00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:12.039 Yes, there are, So I'm on your side. I have 925 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.559 never attacked Cleveland. I've been there many many times. In 926 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:18.239 my prior capacity is in house attorney for Anton Blue Cross, 927 00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:19.840 Blue Shield, I had to go to Cleveland quite a bit. 928 00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:21.960 I never had any problem with Cleveland. I never found 929 00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:24.719 it to be repulsive or awful or nasty. And I 930 00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:26.800 think that's just kind of like you east side versus 931 00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.159 west side. You know, everybody just kind of criticizes the 932 00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.320 other side because it's the thing to do. You got 933 00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:33.960 the Browns, we got the Bengals. So there's that rivalry 934 00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:36.719 that's built in there. And of course Cleveland does have 935 00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:38.679 this have its problem but you make a valid point 936 00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:41.280 about Cincinnati. How I can't argue with you. 937 00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:45.199 Man, there you go, all right, Well that's it. I 938 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.280 will let you go have a wonderful day, and I 939 00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:51.400 hope you have a wonderful Memorial Holiday. 940 00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:54.360 Thank you, sir, truly appreciated. I have no problem with 941 00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:57.960 you defending Cleveland. That's okay. And here's something I really 942 00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.519 wanted to get in here because this is absolutely frightening 943 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:03.119 and it doesn't come as any shock to me, but 944 00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:07.400 United States engineers have discovered what are described as mysterious 945 00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:13.760 undocumented communication devices in some Chinese made solar power inverters 946 00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:16.880 along with batteries as well. Reuters did a write up 947 00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:21.960 on this. This is scary stuff corner Reuter's sources, who 948 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:23.880 did speak on a condition of anonymity because they were 949 00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:26.599 not given permission to speak on the record. The rogue 950 00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:31.400 components provide additional undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls 951 00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:38.400 to be circumvented remotely with potentially catastrophic consequences. And as 952 00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:41.559 something that Tech Friday's Dave Hatter talks about this Internet 953 00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:44.280 of Things, they say that illustrates the security issues that 954 00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:46.960 have haunted analysts since the dawn of Internet of Things, 955 00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:49.440 where every single thing we buy for some reason has 956 00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:51.480 to be hooked up to the Internet, which Dave Hatter 957 00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:54.239 always points out is extremely dangerous because they don't provide 958 00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:57.639 security within these little devices like your coffee maker, which 959 00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:00.159 can then gain access to your home Wi Fi SISM, 960 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:02.400 which then is where the nefarious activity shows up. This 961 00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:06.280 is signing the longest exact same line. Number of devices 962 00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:11.400 broadcasting information online grown exponentially, of course, but the dangers 963 00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:14.480 that go along with that also have grown exponentially. In 964 00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:18.280 the case of these suspicious Chinese power inverters, the device 965 00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:21.679 is designed to connect solar power arrays and windmills to 966 00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:25.920 the power grids. They have Internet capabilities so the performance 967 00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.559 can be monitored and their software can be updated easily. 968 00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:32.280 But knowing this to be the practice, it teams that 969 00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:34.760 solar and wind farms set up firewalls is a precaution 970 00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:38.400 to prevent the devices from sending these unauthorized signals. They 971 00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.239 also physically inspect equipment from China to look for bugs 972 00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:46.400 that they find with shocking regularity. According to the statement 973 00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:48.599 from Reuters, the two people who decline to name the 974 00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:52.280 Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, 975 00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:54.599 nor say how many they found in total, but the 976 00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:58.000 existence of the rogue devices has not been previously reported. 977 00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:01.639 The US government has not publicly acknowledged discoveries. They say 978 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:05.320 these road communication devices could do a lot more than 979 00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:08.239 merely spy on the American power grids that use them. 980 00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:12.400 Cybersecurity experts been warning that these well the Chinese Communist 981 00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:16.039 Party in this particular case, very interested in targeting America's infrastructure. 982 00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:21.360 Hidden internet connections could allow the attacker to yes shut 983 00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:26.960 down the power grids or damage sensitive machinery, apparently not 984 00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:29.760 even a hypothetical threat. Back in November fifteenth last year, 985 00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:33.800 users of inverters manufactured by a Chinese company called Dye 986 00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:38.199 the Eye reported their units suddenly displayed a pop up 987 00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:41.840 bear message and became what they call bricked, basically unusable 988 00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:47.719 hmm now. For its part, Die said the units were 989 00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:52.119 sold without proper authorization outside of the normal distribution contracts 990 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:56.960 with Western Hemisphere, but users doubt that explanation, and they 991 00:55:57.039 --> 00:55:59.960 believed I did use remote commands to kill the invert 992 00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:06.559 described as an unwelcome reminder for solar panel owners and 993 00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:09.519 their equipment that could be controlled or shut down using 994 00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:13.360 the Internet. Carlos jim And as a Republican out of 995 00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.199 Florida in the House of Representative, Senator Rick Scott, along 996 00:56:16.239 --> 00:56:21.400 with Democrat Maggie Hassan, introduced legislation trying to decouple US 997 00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:25.280 companies from batteries made by Chinese companies. Cybersecurity vulnerability listed 998 00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:27.199 as one of the most important reasons to move away 999 00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:31.400 from Chinese equipment. Senator Scott said, well, listen when our 1000 00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:35.920 country nation, with our nation currently sourcing a majority of 1001 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:39.760 its batteries from Chinese link manufacturers, were subject to major 1002 00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:46.480 unnecessary risk or our national security. One of the fun 1003 00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:51.039 facts revealed in this In Europe, they say exercise and 1004 00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:54.599 control over just three to four gigawatts of energy could 1005 00:56:54.639 --> 00:57:01.039 cause widespread disruption of electricity supplies. European Solar Manufacturing Council 1006 00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:06.440 they have one of those estimates. Over two hundred gigawatts 1007 00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:10.239 of European solar power capacity is linked to inverters made 1008 00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:13.119 in China, which is equivalent to more than two hundred 1009 00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:18.639 nuclear power plants. Get your head wrapped around that. At 1010 00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:20.440 the end of last year, three hundred and thirty eight 1011 00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:23.840 gigawatts have installed solar power in Europe. According to Industry 1012 00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:30.239 Association Solar Power Europe one cybersecurity program director, if you 1013 00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:34.519 remotely control a large enough number of home solar inverters 1014 00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:38.599 and do something nefarious at once that could have catastrophic 1015 00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:41.760 implications to the grid for a prolonged period of time, 1016 00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:48.320 we invite these enemies into our own home. And so 1017 00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:50.280 this is why I say this is a nefarious link. 1018 00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:53.880 You know, social media and global pressure and all these 1019 00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:56.760 crazy organizations who think we're all going to die because 1020 00:57:56.840 --> 00:57:59.039 plant foods going out into the world, but from a 1021 00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:04.440 production of fossil fuel electricity. They try to convince you 1022 00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:07.760 and legislate and mandate and dangle carrots, have incentive for 1023 00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:12.239 you to go fully electric. EPA issues edicts and mandates 1024 00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:17.400 to convert your otherwise totally reliable and superior gas stove 1025 00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:20.559 to an electric one which will cost more, won't last 1026 00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:27.559 as long, and which requires electricity to work. Right, We're 1027 00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:29.880 pressured into this more and more and more, and think 1028 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.159 of all the components that go into these things made 1029 00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:36.719 by Yes China, and every company in China is obligated 1030 00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:39.840 to report its activities to the Chinese Communist Party. That's 1031 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:43.679 how they do business there, So does it come as 1032 00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:45.760 a shock to anybody that these inverters would be able 1033 00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:53.960 to communicate with China? You know, the beginning of the war. 1034 00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:56.079 The lights are going to go out, That's how you know, 1035 00:58:56.199 --> 00:58:58.239 and China's going to invade Taiwan, or that's how you 1036 00:58:58.320 --> 00:58:59.840 know when the Chinese are on the shores of the 1037 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:02.719 United States of America, because the lights will go out, 1038 00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:06.440 the grid will come to a screeching hault, catastrophe will ensue. 1039 00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:08.599 People be screaming and yelling in the streets. You know, 1040 00:59:08.679 --> 00:59:10.360 Bobby calls every once in a while and talks about 1041 00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:12.920 the seventy two hours you got. That's basically how long 1042 00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:16.079 it's gonna be before it completely hits the fan, because 1043 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:18.320 guess what. The grocery stores are gonna be closed, the 1044 00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:21.280 gasoline pumps aren't gonna work, You're not gonna have a 1045 00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:24.800 lestricity in your home. And you know, it's just the 1046 00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:30.000 ripple effect is profound. And here we have given an 1047 00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:34.599 opportunity openly buying products from China, which is the only 1048 00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:42.239 place that manufactures them, giving them a clear opportunity to 1049 00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:45.199 cause that chaos that I just mentioned six twenty eight, 1050 00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:47.159 Maybe we get Dave had to talk about that tomorrow. 1051 00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:48.960 I know it's not on his topic list currently, but 1052 00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:52.119 the story just broke yesterday six twenty eight fifty five 1053 00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:54.760 KERC detalk stations stick around, feel free to call maybe 1054 00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.760 you get a different point of view. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, 1055 00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:59.800 fifty five eight two to three talks and market it 1056 01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:02.480 on your calendar, giving you fair warning and heads up. 1057 01:00:02.559 --> 01:00:06.639 It's the Emery Federal Credit Union Annual shred Event coming 1058 01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:09.760 up Saturday, June seventh, between nine am and one pm. 1059 01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:12.599 Everyone is welcome.

Learn 1066 01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:33.360 more of the details about the event and learn about 1067 01:00:33.400 --> 01:00:35.400 the benefits of banking with Emery, head on over to 1068 01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:40.039 the website Emery FCU dot org. That's EMORYFCU dot org. 1069 01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:42.280 Federally insured by NCUA. 1070 01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:46.639 Fifty five KRC your morning. 1071 01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:52.280 Cup of Sean. This is a Shawnny mourning minute. 1072 01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:55.199 The President could not be any more clear that the 1073 01:00:55.480 --> 01:00:58.400 Iranians are not getting nuclear weapons. 1074 01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:02.320 No way, no shape, matter, no form. It just isn't happening. 1075 01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:02.800 He said. 1076 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:06.679 If Iran's leadership rejects the olive branch and continues to 1077 01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:10.119 attack the neighbors, then we will have no choice but 1078 01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:14.280 to inflict massive, maximum pressure. And he's been clear they 1079 01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:17.360 will not ever ever get a nuclear weapon. 1080 01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:17.679 Now. 1081 01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:19.719 On the other hand, he's holding on the olive branch, 1082 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:22.400 and that he said he would much rather make a 1083 01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:26.440 deal with Iran and see Tehran prosper. The people of 1084 01:01:26.760 --> 01:01:29.119 Iran have suffered greatly because the money is that they 1085 01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:31.679 have taken in.

Oh look, 1129 01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:03.599 local stories. Somebody wrote editorial comments all over this. Joe 1130 01:04:03.639 --> 01:04:09.679 Strecker City Leaders five nineteen reporting this. City leaders unveiled 1131 01:04:09.719 --> 01:04:13.360 plans for the summer in sins he described as a 1132 01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:17.119 collaborati effort to reduce youth violence and gun violence during 1133 01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:20.440 the summer months in the city. They say violence spikes 1134 01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:24.840 when there's no school and when temperatures rise. Data collected 1135 01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:26.760 by since Ant Police showed about five percent of the 1136 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:31.679 city's area considered summer hotspots and since At Police Chief 1137 01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:35.199 three strategic used the data. Says the department now able 1138 01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:38.760 to focus on specific high crime areas. Said they're focusing 1139 01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:42.360 on six high priority areas with more patrols and towing 1140 01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:46.440 of illegally parked cars. She said a significant number of 1141 01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:48.440 people came down park wherever they wanted to and went 1142 01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:50.519 to different areas and created problem. So you take one 1143 01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:52.960 simple action item and we saw that that made a 1144 01:04:53.440 --> 01:04:56.719 significant gains for us. Impound lots going to be staying 1145 01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:02.159 open longer. Additionally, data shows that juvenile car thefts or 1146 01:05:02.239 --> 01:05:06.000 thefts from cars is above the three year average, with 1147 01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:08.039 the Chief saying this is an area we will focus 1148 01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:10.320 on heavily throughout the summer, and one of the ways 1149 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.800 we do that is by engaging with the youth. Apparently 1150 01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:17.119 that's where Cincinnti Parks and the Cincinnti Recreation Commission comes in. 1151 01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:21.519 Numerous opportunities, and they've done this before for kids and 1152 01:05:21.639 --> 01:05:25.639 teens at local rec centers, pools and parks. This year, 1153 01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:28.719 all twenty three public pools and the CINCINNTI Rec Center 1154 01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.960 will be operating in full swing. First few open May 1155 01:05:32.039 --> 01:05:40.119 twenty fourth. Kid number one, this is editorial commentor from 1156 01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:43.280 Joe Strecker. Hey man, let's break into cars, Kid number two, 1157 01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:46.920 No way, I want to go watch Finding Nemo at 1158 01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:48.519 the rec Center. Do you think that's the way that's 1159 01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:54.039 going to shake out? Hi, Joe reck at night, that's back, 1160 01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:56.079 they say by popular No Man teen event will take 1161 01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:58.639 place every Saturday, June seventh through August ninth at the 1162 01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:05.440 Lincoln Hers Rec Center. According to Rec Commissioner Director Daniel Betts, 1163 01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:07.559 last year we served over three thousand teens. This year 1164 01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:10.280 we're amy to googin higher. We ended up having on 1165 01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:13.360 any given Saturday night four to five hundred teens at 1166 01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:18.239 both sites. Other youth programs the Camp CRC free golf 1167 01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:22.679 lessons and two hundred job opportunities for teens. City leaders 1168 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:25.840 launching mitigation efforts at riverfront parks after new data showed 1169 01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.679 teens are clustering in those areas. Won't they then be 1170 01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:34.199 clustering altogether at the rec center. I thought the problem 1171 01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:37.039 was getting all these teens in one spot. That's where 1172 01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:41.320 the fights come out, right, I don't know. I guess 1173 01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:43.760 we'll keep our popcorn out and just see how it unfolds. 1174 01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:47.400 This year six thirty six fifty five krs the talk 1175 01:06:47.480 --> 01:06:50.039 station get in touch with Press Degonteriers for kitchen remodeling. 1176 01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:52.079 The one man you need to work with his John Bryan. 1177 01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:54.679 He is one of the same prest Digion terriers. You'll 1178 01:06:54.679 --> 01:06:57.280 be working with John. He'll be there from initial design 1179 01:06:57.320 --> 01:07:00.679 to final installation.

He did our kitchen We love it, came 1182 01:07:06.960 --> 01:07:09.840 up with just unbelievable ideas ideas that my wife and I, 1183 01:07:10.039 --> 01:07:12.880 if left to our own devices, probably would never have 1184 01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.559 thought up. But that's where all these years of experience 1185 01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:17.440 come in. He'll see your kitchen and he'll sit down 1186 01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:19.519 with you and talk about what you're looking for and 1187 01:07:19.639 --> 01:07:23.199 offer his own suggestions.

Glad to see somebody's doing the 1227 01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:22.439 right thing. When the Democrats wigged out over transgender issues 1228 01:09:22.439 --> 01:09:25.479 and diversity equity inclusion, we saw heaploaded that into the 1229 01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:27.720 Biden administration although he probably wasn't even aware it was 1230 01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:33.199 going on. But this is one of those issues where 1231 01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:34.840 the vast majority of American people are all on the 1232 01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:36.399 same side of the ledger, and it is not on 1233 01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:39.479 the left wing, far progressive side of the Democratic Party 1234 01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:41.560 who are really struggling mightily to come up with a 1235 01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:45.119 message that's palatable to the American people. I see the 1236 01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:47.720 Justice Department is taking funds that are for that were 1237 01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:53.239 formerly granted to groups supporting transgender ideology and diversity along 1238 01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:58.079 with the diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. And that word 1239 01:09:58.159 --> 01:10:00.439 group in there troubles me because they're in lies the 1240 01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:02.399 challenge we face and one of the problems with the 1241 01:10:02.520 --> 01:10:04.840 federal government spending. They get all of this money in 1242 01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:07.960 a big pile, and as we mentioned earlier about picking 1243 01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:10.840 and choosing the winners and losers. For example, the context 1244 01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:13.119 of the state of Ohio choosing that the Browns are 1245 01:10:13.159 --> 01:10:16.760 going to get six hundred million dollars of Ohio taxpayer money. 1246 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:19.720 What about the rest of the teams out in the state. Nope, 1247 01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:22.199 nothing for you. There are a whole bunch of non 1248 01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:24.880 governmental organizations out there in the world, and they get 1249 01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:27.640 theyd a lot of money. Even though they're listed as 1250 01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:29.479 non for profit, each and every one of them gets 1251 01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:35.239 a salary, and sometimes very large salaries, and I think 1252 01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:38.600 their mere existence is to extract taxpayer dollars and really 1253 01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:43.119 not accomplish anything. Some of that money goes back to 1254 01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:46.199 the politicians who picked the ones that got the money. 1255 01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:50.880 There's that money train, the circular money train, although unfortunately 1256 01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:53.039 you're not part of the circle. It just comes from 1257 01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:56.279 you and ends up from the politicians into the NGOs 1258 01:10:56.359 --> 01:11:00.479 who then contribute back to the politicians. Anyway, back over 1259 01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:02.039 to the point of this one. That money is now 1260 01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:07.239 going to be going to well law enforcement. Justice Department 1261 01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:10.720 officials speaking with Fox News under Attorney General Pam Bondy, 1262 01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:13.640 they claim they will not be wasting funds on DEI, 1263 01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:16.039 with the statements saying, the Department of Justice under Pambondi 1264 01:11:16.039 --> 01:11:19.640 will not waste discretionary funds on DEI passion projects that 1265 01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:23.039 do not make Americans safer. We will use the money 1266 01:11:23.079 --> 01:11:25.119 to get criminals off the streets, see drugs, and in 1267 01:11:25.199 --> 01:11:28.000 some cases fund programs that deliver a tangible impact for 1268 01:11:28.159 --> 01:11:31.199 victims of crime. Seems to be a higher priority in 1269 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:36.119 a more worthy pursuit don't you think. On our first 1270 01:11:36.199 --> 01:11:38.439 day at work, Bondi directed officials to ensure that all 1271 01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:42.720 DEI programs were terminated, demanding the removal of all references 1272 01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:45.800 to DEI training programs and ending the emphasis on race 1273 01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:51.039 and sexual criteria, refocusing hiring and promotion on guidelines solely 1274 01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:54.479 on merit. Back to a meritocracy. Who should get the job? 1275 01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:03.680 I mean, she seems so illogical and unreasonable, the Defendantcy's 1276 01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:07.840 DEI programs, And really all that's saying is you must 1277 01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:13.680 fit a certain criteria that has nothing to do with 1278 01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:16.000 your abilities, has nothing to do with the merit, nothing 1279 01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:18.680 to do with your worth in terms of your ability 1280 01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:22.039 to perform the functions of any given job. You have 1281 01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:24.600 to be fill in the black, black, or Asian or 1282 01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:28.600 not white. Of course, you have to be transgender, you 1283 01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:30.720 have to be a woman. I mean, all these things 1284 01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:38.439 that have no connection with merit. It's the same thing 1285 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.560 that goes on in our K through twelve education system. 1286 01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:44.359 Now having merit and being able to perform at grade 1287 01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:47.319 level is no longer relevant. Oh, we need to advance them, 1288 01:12:49.199 --> 01:12:51.680 we need to bring up to the next grade, because well, 1289 01:12:51.880 --> 01:12:55.560 they can't ever really answered the question why what it's 1290 01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:58.359 not fair to pass a child you can't meet the 1291 01:12:58.399 --> 01:12:59.479 grade level criteria. 1292 01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:01.000 What is that? 1293 01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:03.520 It's not fair that you've moved them on to the 1294 01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:05.640 next grade when they can't perform at grade level, because 1295 01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:07.239 then you're just going to make matters worse and it's 1296 01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:11.119 a downward spiral from that point. I mean that our 1297 01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:15.800 colleges teach remedial mathematics classes, stuff that you needed to 1298 01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:19.439 learn in high school to advance under traditional grading standards. 1299 01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:29.239 It's an atrocity. I mean that concept exists regularly in 1300 01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:38.119 the world. Our children are not prepared for life. It's 1301 01:13:38.239 --> 01:13:40.720 undermining the fabric of our nation. We're creating a nation 1302 01:13:40.840 --> 01:13:43.520 of idiots. And maybe that's the point of it all. 1303 01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:45.560 I mean, you think you move down that path where 1304 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:47.520 you turn all the children are a vast majority of 1305 01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:51.800 in the idiots, they become then useful idiots for a nonsensical, 1306 01:13:51.920 --> 01:13:56.760 illogical and failed political philosophy which is either socialism or Marxism. 1307 01:13:57.239 --> 01:13:59.520 Oh the other company countries who've tried it just didn't 1308 01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:01.800 do it right. How many times you heard that in 1309 01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:05.279 your lifetime. But that's exactly what's going on, folks. That's 1310 01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:07.399 what I firmly believe anyway. My c MIC's on the 1311 01:14:07.439 --> 01:14:09.279 fine MIC. I will happy to take your call right 1312 01:14:09.319 --> 01:14:11.000 out of the gate when we get back. Got to 1313 01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:13.119 mention affordable imaging services because I want you to pay 1314 01:14:13.119 --> 01:14:15.640 an outrageous amount to get your MRI, your CT scan, 1315 01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:17.760 your echo cardigram, your ultra sound. They do all of 1316 01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:20.760 those at affordable imaging services with the same kind of equipment. 1317 01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:23.800 Hospitals use medical professionals who've been at this for decades. 1318 01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:26.880 Each of these scans or images that affordable imaging comes 1319 01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:30.960 with the price included the board certified radiologist report. I've 1320 01:14:31.039 --> 01:14:33.880 done this several times with CT scans. Never has my 1321 01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:37.039 doctor complained at all. I didn't go to the hospital 1322 01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:39.279 imaging department because the CT scan there could set me 1323 01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:45.520 back five thousand dollars. Think about that, well, what is 1324 01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:49.159 the cost affordable affordable imaging services four fifty without a contrast? 1325 01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:51.399 Six hundred dollars worth of contrast, and yes, that price 1326 01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:55.680 includes the radiologist report. It's the savings are amazing. I 1327 01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:57.279 got a friend, Jeff, who's going to send an email 1328 01:14:57.319 --> 01:14:58.760 right now because he does it every time I mentioned this. 1329 01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:02.640 He saved thirty one one hundred dollars that would have 1330 01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:04.640 come out of his pocket had he gone to the hospital. 1331 01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:07.439 Took my advice, went to Affordable Imaging Services to learn 1332 01:15:07.479 --> 01:15:09.880 more about pricing and how it works. It is low overhead. 1333 01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:11.159 I'm not going to promise you that it's gonna be 1334 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:12.760 all kinds of bells and whistles there, but it's the 1335 01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:17.720 same equipment.

Welcome to the morning, 1363 01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:42.600 showing a happy Thursday to you, sir. 1364 01:16:43.239 --> 01:16:47.039 Hey, Brian, real quick about the group that's one to 1365 01:16:47.079 --> 01:16:48.479 eliminate property taxes? 1366 01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:50.640 Yeah, into a conspettional amendment. 1367 01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:56.399 Are they gonna start getting signatures you get on the ballot, Hey, 1368 01:16:56.520 --> 01:16:59.479 like four hundred and fifty thousand signatures if I'm do 1369 01:16:59.600 --> 01:17:02.359 those have property owners or or anybody? 1370 01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:04.279 No, anybody, I believe as long as you're a resident 1371 01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:05.760 of the state of Ohio. I don't think they can 1372 01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:08.119 limit it to property owners. Yeah, just anybody who might 1373 01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:11.079 be impacted by legislation in the state or the ballot 1374 01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:13.880 initiative can be you know, can sign on to it. 1375 01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:15.680 They have to get signatures. 1376 01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:18.199 Signatures will be pretty easy to get. 1377 01:17:18.319 --> 01:17:20.800 I would think. That was my comment the other day 1378 01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:22.800 when I first read about that being circulated. It's like, 1379 01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:25.760 wait a second, this should be an easy, easy task 1380 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:29.239 to accomplish. So you have to get five percent of 1381 01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:34.199 the total voters in the most recent I guess is 1382 01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:36.880 it gubernatorial election. That's the that's the criteria. And you 1383 01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:39.720 got to get signatures from forty four of the eighty 1384 01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:40.760 eight counties. 1385 01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:41.159 So. 1386 01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:47.560 The apartment buildings and yeah, those people don't pay taxes, property. 1387 01:17:47.279 --> 01:17:50.199 Tax, So oh yeah, I think this is going to 1388 01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:54.880 be hilarious because if it passes, I mean, are there 1389 01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.119 enough property owners that I actually get out and vote 1390 01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:59.000 in favor of this or with the people who don't 1391 01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:01.840 own property and to continue with property tax because it's 1392 01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.520 not impacting them. Although really it is. If you're a renter, 1393 01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:07.960 you are impacted by property tax as well. So if 1394 01:18:07.960 --> 01:18:09.680 there are enough people that will be against this, I 1395 01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:12.239 just I'm wondering what they're going to do elected officials 1396 01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.800 in Columbus, if this actually comes to pass and property 1397 01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:19.119 taxes banned under the Hong Kong Constitution, how are schools 1398 01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:21.520 going to be funded they. 1399 01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:23.720 Ever fights that, whatever money they use to fight it 1400 01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:27.720 could easily pay what is offset. 1401 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:33.159 And to state that again, because you broke up, Oh 1402 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:38.920 he hung up, didn't quite understand this comment. Yeah, that's 1403 01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:40.600 one of those things I'm gonna be looking at with 1404 01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:45.880 I don't know, significant interest. What will the aftermath of 1405 01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:49.760 that be, because I mean, property tax is what funds 1406 01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:52.199 all kinds of things, his school levies, and he got 1407 01:18:52.279 --> 01:18:55.119 park issues and all these initiatives are are they going 1408 01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:58.039 to start? What are the suggestions? Was increase the sales tax, 1409 01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:03.880 which conceptually I'm not necessarily against, because everybody buys things 1410 01:19:05.880 --> 01:19:08.439 at some point or other. Some people buy more than others. 1411 01:19:08.479 --> 01:19:10.439 Of course, more disposable income, the more options you have 1412 01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:13.319 to actually buy things. But if you're buying something, you're 1413 01:19:13.359 --> 01:19:16.079 going to be helping to pay for something that you 1414 01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:18.880 might not be paying for but enjoying. Think of the 1415 01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:22.159 park district, for example, maybe you have people who aren't 1416 01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:24.399 property owners are going to the parks. 1417 01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:24.920 Now. 1418 01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:27.079 I know they get their funds from resource or sources 1419 01:19:27.159 --> 01:19:30.640 other than property taxes. But when you vote to for 1420 01:19:31.039 --> 01:19:34.319 an increase or a levey, of course that's a property 1421 01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:37.840 tax levee, So only property owners are paying for that. 1422 01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:41.079 So if you raise the sales tax, then everyone's going 1423 01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:43.119 to be covering a slice of the action, which I 1424 01:19:43.159 --> 01:19:47.039 think is a fairer way of approaching it. I'm sure 1425 01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:49.479 you'll get some advocates for the poor and folks on 1426 01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:51.720 life's margins who will screen their bloody heads off over 1427 01:19:51.800 --> 01:19:54.479 that that these evil property owners should be shouldering the 1428 01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:57.399 burden because they're elite and they're well off. But you know, 1429 01:19:57.439 --> 01:20:00.319 I really feel for the seniors out there. You've been 1430 01:20:00.359 --> 01:20:02.479 in your home for forty years, maybe you've got it 1431 01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:04.880 paid off, and you're living on social Security or some 1432 01:20:05.159 --> 01:20:08.600 modest form of income, and along comes the assessment and 1433 01:20:08.680 --> 01:20:10.640 you find out your property taxes bill has gone up 1434 01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:12.800 thirty percent, and that puts a dent in what you've 1435 01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:16.159 got left over. Maybe you can't afford it. I mean, 1436 01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:18.600 there's been arguments over the years that maybe at some 1437 01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:21.319 point in time, like when you own your home fully 1438 01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:24.600 or something, you reach some certain age that you no 1439 01:20:24.680 --> 01:20:27.600 longer have to pay property tax. A lot of different 1440 01:20:27.600 --> 01:20:30.600 ways of looking at it and viewing it. But in 1441 01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:33.880 the final analysis, that's the ballot initiative is going to 1442 01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:37.720 be circulated. The language has to be approved. The title 1443 01:20:37.800 --> 01:20:40.560 has already been approved, so phase two is approving the 1444 01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:44.319 actual language in the ballot initiative, which again is a 1445 01:20:44.439 --> 01:20:47.159 constitutional amendment six to fifty five. Fifty five kres to 1446 01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:49.039 the Talk Station. After the top of the r new 1447 01:20:49.119 --> 01:20:51.439 is Secretary of Frank Secretary Steve Frank lro is supposed 1448 01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:54.000 to be in studio talking about the paltry voter turnout. 1449 01:20:54.600 --> 01:20:56.560 I think that's one issue if it's on the ballot, 1450 01:20:56.600 --> 01:21:00.720 would bring out voters qualified immunity amendment and his run 1451 01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:03.319 for state auditor. So that'll be next after the news. 1452 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:05.840 I hope you can stick around, stay on top of 1453 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:08.640 the day's biggest stories at the top of the hour, 1454 01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:11.840 and that's so important. Another update coming up on fifty 1455 01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:16.159 five KRC the Talk Station. This report is sponsored by 1456 01:21:31.399 --> 01:21:34.720 seven six Here at fifty about PARCD talk station. Happy 1457 01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:38.520 Thursday Friday Eve is what I prefer, and I always 1458 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:40.239 prefer having guests in the studio. And it is a 1459 01:21:40.279 --> 01:21:42.560 wonderful thing to look across the booth here and see 1460 01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.319 Secretary of State Frank LeRose in the studio to talk 1461 01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:48.079 about a variety different topics. Welcome man, good to see 1462 01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:48.359 you again. 1463 01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:50.880 Great to be back in the Queen City at fifty 1464 01:21:50.960 --> 01:21:53.319 five KRC and not talking to you on the phone. 1465 01:21:53.399 --> 01:21:55.479 For us to be here, I know, And yeah, we've 1466 01:21:55.520 --> 01:21:57.000 run into each other in person all the time, and 1467 01:21:57.039 --> 01:21:59.600 I will say out loud, it's glad to see you, Casu. 1468 01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:02.640 You're going running after And I apologize to Frank because 1469 01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:04.479 I didn't realize who's going to be in my studio 1470 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:07.840 this morning. And I have my defund politicians t shirt on. 1471 01:22:08.079 --> 01:22:08.439 I love it. 1472 01:22:09.239 --> 01:22:11.199 I'm glad, but you know, I'm in charge of campaign 1473 01:22:11.319 --> 01:22:14.479 finance in Ohio, so we want to defund the you know, 1474 01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:15.720 the bad ones. 1475 01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:19.600 Doing it right, plee real quick here, right out of 1476 01:22:19.640 --> 01:22:21.119 the gate. I know we've got other things to talk about, 1477 01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:24.920 but I think there's probably no one of my listening 1478 01:22:24.960 --> 01:22:27.840 audiences happy at all about this. Cleveland Browns getting six 1479 01:22:27.880 --> 01:22:30.000 hundred million dollars through bond money that we have to 1480 01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.880 pay debt service on. I don't I don't understand where 1481 01:22:33.960 --> 01:22:35.880 that come from, How that can be, How in a 1482 01:22:35.960 --> 01:22:38.439 representative government that all the Ohio tax payers are going 1483 01:22:38.479 --> 01:22:40.880 to beholding the burden for debt service so the Browns 1484 01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:43.840 can get their new playfield and this this, this, this facility. 1485 01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:47.039 It's just it's really rubbed my listeners the wrong way. 1486 01:22:47.119 --> 01:22:47.640 And I know you're not. 1487 01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:51.600 I'm going to disclose something here in Cincinnati, Ohio, what 1488 01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:53.840 a city I love. I'm a lifelong Browns fan. I 1489 01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:56.560 grew up in Cleveland, right right. But I also am 1490 01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:59.399 one that believes that football should be played out door. 1491 01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:02.560 I think men should play football outdoors in the weather, yes, 1492 01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:06.840 as God intended. But further, I think that there's this 1493 01:23:07.279 --> 01:23:12.039 national arms race as it relates to stadium funding exactly. 1494 01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:13.840 And I think that the thought by a lot of 1495 01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:15.840 our legislators is, well, we're not going to unil lot 1496 01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:18.520 of early disarmed because all these other states are putting 1497 01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:22.039 public money and public bond deals into these stadiums, and 1498 01:23:22.159 --> 01:23:25.399 so Ohio doesn't want to be the state with shabby 1499 01:23:25.479 --> 01:23:28.760 stadiums where we can't have big national events where we 1500 01:23:28.880 --> 01:23:32.039 can't attract top talent, and Lord knows the Browns need 1501 01:23:32.119 --> 01:23:34.000 all the help they can get when it comes to 1502 01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:37.199 attracting talent. So again, there's two sides to this. I 1503 01:23:37.319 --> 01:23:39.520 can see your point completely. 1504 01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:44.800 Yeah, multimillionaire families sometimes billionaire families, and we the taxpayers, 1505 01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:47.800 pay for them so they can make money off of 1506 01:23:47.880 --> 01:23:50.520 the stadiums that we build on our backs. I just 1507 01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:53.399 I find the whole thing just I don't know one 1508 01:23:53.439 --> 01:23:54.119 thing that's for sure. 1509 01:23:54.359 --> 01:23:57.119 There's a thing that's called the model rule, where if 1510 01:23:57.239 --> 01:24:01.039 any public money goes into a stadium and that team leaves, 1511 01:24:01.159 --> 01:24:03.680 then that money can be clawed back. It's that's I mean, 1512 01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:06.279 if there's anything that should be rock solid, it would 1513 01:24:06.279 --> 01:24:06.439 be that. 1514 01:24:06.640 --> 01:24:08.560 Well, I'll just put an exclamation point on your point 1515 01:24:08.640 --> 01:24:10.840 that men should play football out in the weather. My 1516 01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:16.439 view is, listen, football fields are regulated size. They all 1517 01:24:16.520 --> 01:24:18.840 have to be the exact same size. If you've got 1518 01:24:18.880 --> 01:24:21.920 the football field and you got a place for people 1519 01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:23.960 to sit, that's all that's needed to play the game. 1520 01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:26.279 They could play at Nippert Stadium, they could play football 1521 01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:28.640 field at like Elder High School. I mean, you know, 1522 01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:29.199 I don't know. 1523 01:24:29.199 --> 01:24:31.159 If you're ever at the old old Brown Stadium. I 1524 01:24:31.319 --> 01:24:33.640 was ruined from like one year old. My dad would 1525 01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:35.880 take me to the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium, but you 1526 01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:36.960 had to pee in a trough. 1527 01:24:37.159 --> 01:24:39.479 Yeah oh that was yeah, okay, yeah, you know, so 1528 01:24:39.720 --> 01:24:40.920 remember those days and listen. 1529 01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:43.359 Here's something that Cleveland and Cincinnati have in common as 1530 01:24:43.359 --> 01:24:46.039 a release to football, the great legacy of Paul Brown, 1531 01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:49.680 who would have been rolling in his grave seeing the pampered, 1532 01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:53.359 the pamper millionaires that are playing football these days. 1533 01:24:53.439 --> 01:24:56.039 You know, oh my god. And also the pampered millionaires 1534 01:24:56.039 --> 01:24:58.279 who seem to have all the resources that like, for example, 1535 01:24:58.359 --> 01:24:59.880 we have to stadium upgrades here in the city. So 1536 01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:02.520 Sinnati from pay Course Stadium, obligated by that terrible lease 1537 01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:05.479 deal that we approved, they put all the money into 1538 01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:09.600 the booths, the elite booths that none of the unwashed 1539 01:25:09.640 --> 01:25:11.680 masters are ever going to get into. So it's like, oh, 1540 01:25:11.760 --> 01:25:13.720 we need four hundred million dollars or tw hundrellion dollars 1541 01:25:13.760 --> 01:25:15.640 or whatever, and you know the X amount of that, 1542 01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:17.359 A large slice of that is going to go to 1543 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:20.600 the private booths where the elite get to watch the 1544 01:25:20.720 --> 01:25:23.760 games and let's face it, the unwashed masses and Zip 1545 01:25:23.880 --> 01:25:28.960 champagne cavias they wash. Yeah, I'm sorry to get down 1546 01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:31.439 that road. We had a conversation early in the program 1547 01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:34.039 this morning about it. Let's talk about voter turnout, which 1548 01:25:34.159 --> 01:25:36.520 was pathetic. Yeah, I mean, I know it was an 1549 01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:39.760 off cycle election. I fully appreciate that, but you know, 1550 01:25:40.319 --> 01:25:42.079 issue too, was there there was a reason to go 1551 01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:42.760 out and vote? 1552 01:25:43.119 --> 01:25:43.640 And what was it? 1553 01:25:43.720 --> 01:25:44.239 Ten percent? 1554 01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:47.279 It was just over ten percent. And this is funny 1555 01:25:47.319 --> 01:25:50.079 because we have what we call election night operations. It's 1556 01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:53.479 a room where we're running. We got a direct line 1557 01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:55.359 to each of the eighty eight county boards of Elections. 1558 01:25:55.399 --> 01:25:57.680 We're pulling the numbers in from them every half hour. 1559 01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:00.520 We're validating those numbers, were flashing them up on the website. 1560 01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:02.159 So we're in the in the mode. We're in the game. 1561 01:26:02.520 --> 01:26:05.840 And when we went over ten percent, everybody cheered, and 1562 01:26:05.960 --> 01:26:08.279 I was so excited that we went over ten percent, 1563 01:26:08.359 --> 01:26:11.319 and then I said, stop, team, just realize here that 1564 01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:15.039 we're celebrating that ninety percent didn't vote. I know, only 1565 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:17.039 ten percent, But listen, when we have a party, we 1566 01:26:17.079 --> 01:26:19.199 don't want people to not come, and so we want 1567 01:26:19.239 --> 01:26:21.479 to see high voter turnout, and so we were happy 1568 01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:23.159 to see that it went over ten percent because we 1569 01:26:23.239 --> 01:26:25.960 weren't expecting much. I mean, the total number was eight 1570 01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:29.079 hundred and sixty eighty one hundred and twenty four of 1571 01:26:29.159 --> 01:26:31.960 our fellow Ohioans who bothered to get off their butts 1572 01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:34.680 and participate in one of the three forms of voting 1573 01:26:34.760 --> 01:26:37.439 we have either early voting for a whole month, or 1574 01:26:37.720 --> 01:26:40.439 absently voting where we literally mail your ballot to your 1575 01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:44.119 house for you, or election day voting. Now, again, it's 1576 01:26:44.239 --> 01:26:47.319 hard to get people excited about what they're so called 1577 01:26:47.439 --> 01:26:50.840 off year elections, these these even these odd numbered years 1578 01:26:50.880 --> 01:26:53.800 like twenty twenty five. Now contrast that, though to the 1579 01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:58.680 even number years twenty twenty record breaking year twenty twenty two, 1580 01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:01.119 we broke the record for a goom viatorial election. Last 1581 01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:03.840 year in twenty twenty four, we broke the all time 1582 01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:06.720 record for early voting. So it's not that Ohioans are 1583 01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:10.680 not civically engaged. Ohioans care about voting, and they're engaged 1584 01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:12.479 in it, and they know that it's both easy to 1585 01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:14.520 vote and hard to cheat in our state, and they 1586 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:17.920 show up in record numbers when they care. The problem 1587 01:27:18.079 --> 01:27:22.560 is getting people to care about local issues, local elections. 1588 01:27:22.960 --> 01:27:26.199 People get excited about presidential elections. People get excited about 1589 01:27:26.319 --> 01:27:30.159 governor's elections, US senate races. It's hard to get people 1590 01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:32.880 excited about the mayor's race and the city council race 1591 01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:36.840 and a statewide ballot issue. And it's unfortunate because listen, 1592 01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:39.520 it matters who lives in the White House. As a soldier, 1593 01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:41.279 I can tell you this, I leave for army duty 1594 01:27:41.359 --> 01:27:43.399 next week, and as a reservist, it matters who my 1595 01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:45.960 commander in chief is. But who lives in the White 1596 01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:48.680 House is probably not as important in your daily life 1597 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:51.479 as who works at the courthouse and the schoolhouse and 1598 01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:54.840 at city hall. And in twenty twenty five and years 1599 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:57.199 like that, that's when we make those decisions. So you know, 1600 01:27:57.479 --> 01:27:59.119 get off your button, go vote well. 1601 01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:02.159 Going back to the record year, the twenty twenty four election, 1602 01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:04.560 that was a record year for early voting. 1603 01:28:04.359 --> 01:28:07.560 Correct and by the way, Republicans dominated early voting, which 1604 01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:11.039 is historically unusual. We were now again we can't tell 1605 01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:13.920 how people voted, but we could tell in the numbers 1606 01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:17.479 leading up to election day, Republicans had out voted Democrats 1607 01:28:17.560 --> 01:28:20.319 by over two hundred and fifty thousand, a quarter million. 1608 01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:23.479 So we started election day up by a quarter million. 1609 01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:26.520 No wonder we dominated on election Day. I hope that's 1610 01:28:26.560 --> 01:28:29.760 a lesson to my fellow Republicans to continue taking advantage 1611 01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:31.800 of all three good options. It's like if you're a 1612 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.880 football coach, you can score points by by running, passing, 1613 01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:37.479 or kicking. You'd be foolish to only use one of 1614 01:28:37.560 --> 01:28:40.199 those three. We need to make sure that people vote 1615 01:28:40.239 --> 01:28:42.279 whichever way is convenient for them, but they got to vote. Well, 1616 01:28:42.319 --> 01:28:47.039 what percentage of eligible islands voted in the presidential election? Generally, 1617 01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:49.319 like if you had ten percent in Ohio for the 1618 01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:51.960 off cycle election, we just went through. Yeah, it's always 1619 01:28:52.039 --> 01:28:53.920 north of fifty. I mean sometimes we get into the 1620 01:28:53.960 --> 01:28:55.760 sixties and seventies. I tell the story about when I 1621 01:28:55.880 --> 01:28:58.000 was when I was serving in Iraq. This is go 1622 01:28:58.119 --> 01:29:01.720 back to two thousand and five, had their first real election. 1623 01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:04.159 They'd had the BS elections where Saddam Hussein got one 1624 01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:05.960 hundred percent of the vote. Everybody knew that was nonsense, 1625 01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:07.880 but I was there as a soldier to see their 1626 01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:11.399 first real election. So the Purple Finger and I tell 1627 01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:14.359 the story. People were being threatened though these Islamist groups 1628 01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:17.359 from backed by Iran. We're telling people that it was 1629 01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:19.960 un Islamic to vote. That's a lie. They were saying 1630 01:29:20.000 --> 01:29:21.880 that if they saw that purple ink on your finger, 1631 01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:24.039 they would cut your finger off. And so when those 1632 01:29:24.079 --> 01:29:26.239 Iraqis held that purple finger in the air, it might 1633 01:29:26.279 --> 01:29:28.279 as well have been another finger. They were saying, I'm 1634 01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:31.159 not afraid of you. And so that election we saw 1635 01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:34.680 over seventy percent. I always joke that listen, nobody's threatening 1636 01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:36.840 to cut fingers off in a while. No, and we 1637 01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:40.199 almost never get over seventy percent. But again, it shows 1638 01:29:40.239 --> 01:29:43.560 you that free people can make a difference when they 1639 01:29:43.640 --> 01:29:45.760 go out to vote, and we need to not take 1640 01:29:45.840 --> 01:29:48.039 that right for granted here well, and to. 1641 01:29:48.079 --> 01:29:50.119 Those people who are upset about the six hundred million 1642 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:52.279 dollars you just referred to, that was my retort, which is, 1643 01:29:52.319 --> 01:29:56.600 you know it isn't illegal. Necessarily. Elected officials are always 1644 01:29:56.600 --> 01:29:58.399 picking the winners and losers in terms of where our 1645 01:29:58.439 --> 01:30:01.479 taxpayers go. It's the ballot box is how you hold 1646 01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:02.159 them accountable. 1647 01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:05.359 Every vote is determined by those who show up, and 1648 01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:08.920 I always laugh when I encounter protesters that don't vote, 1649 01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:12.680 like you're missing like you're gonna wave a picket sign, 1650 01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:14.479 You're gonna go out there and protest, but you're not 1651 01:30:14.520 --> 01:30:17.159 gonna vote. You're missing the most important part of the process. 1652 01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:20.600 We're continue with Secretary of Stave frankkel Rose in studio. 1653 01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:22.640 We'll talk a little bit about qualified community and his 1654 01:30:22.920 --> 01:30:26.119 run for state Auditor.

Frank Loose dot com where you find Frank Frank. 1704 01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:50.479 I gotta ask you, man before we get the qualified 1705 01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:53.000 immunity in your comments on that. That's an amendment that's 1706 01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:55.279 being circulated ballot initiative out there, and I know you're 1707 01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:58.000 responsible for the language, and you just approve the least 1708 01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:00.000 the language of the headache. 1709 01:33:00.319 --> 01:33:03.319 We approved it as one issue, so that's a multi 1710 01:33:03.359 --> 01:33:06.000 step process. Chair really called the ballot board. 1711 01:33:06.239 --> 01:33:09.760 Okay, By way of explanation, I'm talking about pivoting over 1712 01:33:09.880 --> 01:33:13.319 to the amendment of the constitution that would remove property tax. 1713 01:33:13.960 --> 01:33:15.760 And I wanted to gauge your reaction on that because 1714 01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:19.840 I'm not sure how things would work out if it passed, 1715 01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:22.520 and I'm guessing it probably would if it's actually on 1716 01:33:22.640 --> 01:33:23.079 the ballot. 1717 01:33:23.239 --> 01:33:25.039 So let's even take a step back. And I kind 1718 01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:27.800 of editorialized on this yesterday when I was chairing the 1719 01:33:27.880 --> 01:33:30.279 ballot board to look at it and approve whether it 1720 01:33:30.319 --> 01:33:32.720 should be one issue or separate issues on the ballot. 1721 01:33:34.279 --> 01:33:36.880 We're leaning too far into direct democracy right now. 1722 01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:37.279 In Ohio. 1723 01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:40.680 We are a representative republic. It has served us well 1724 01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:42.960 for two hundred years. We do not want to govern 1725 01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:47.239 via constitutional amendment. Legislation should be done in the state 1726 01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:49.640 House and the state Senate. That should not be done 1727 01:33:49.880 --> 01:33:53.399 by constitutional amendment. I listen, I believe that property tax 1728 01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:59.199 is entirely too high. When your mortgage payment is more 1729 01:33:59.239 --> 01:34:02.520 than half of it is your property tax, something's wrong, right. 1730 01:34:02.600 --> 01:34:05.159 It feels like you are And how about seniors on 1731 01:34:05.239 --> 01:34:07.640 a fixed income. They've paid off that mortgage, they burned 1732 01:34:07.720 --> 01:34:11.079 that note already, and now it feels like they're renting 1733 01:34:11.159 --> 01:34:13.960 their property from the state government, from the local government. 1734 01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:16.720 Too high. Property taxes are too high. This may not 1735 01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:18.840 be the way to fix it, though, right and so 1736 01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:21.039 I think that things like putting a cap on it, 1737 01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:26.159 revisiting a thing called the homestead exemption that provides property 1738 01:34:26.239 --> 01:34:29.000 tax relief for seniors. And something I'm going to focus 1739 01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:31.960 on as the state auditor, is who the heck's spending 1740 01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:33.920 all this money at the local level and are they 1741 01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:37.079 accountable and are they efficient? Really, the State Auditor's Office 1742 01:34:37.199 --> 01:34:41.239 could be o DOGE, Ohio Department of Government Efficiency. And 1743 01:34:41.880 --> 01:34:44.239 you know, if you're not happy with your county commissioners, 1744 01:34:44.279 --> 01:34:45.840 you know who to vote out. If you're not happy 1745 01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:47.960 with your city, you know who to vote out. But 1746 01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:52.000 how about the local housing authority, how about the planning commission? 1747 01:34:52.319 --> 01:34:55.079 How about the park district? Who do you hold accountable 1748 01:34:55.119 --> 01:34:55.960 for that kind of stuff? 1749 01:34:56.039 --> 01:34:59.600 Well, and we keep voting to have those levies replaced 1750 01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:03.920 or in increased or continuing resolution. I know it's on 1751 01:35:03.960 --> 01:35:05.720 the backs of the people who show up to vote, 1752 01:35:05.760 --> 01:35:08.880 but a large chunk of the property taxes is schools. Yeah, 1753 01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:12.159 And the Ohio Supreme Court declared two decades ago that 1754 01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:14.399 our funding mechanism for schools in the state of Ohio 1755 01:35:14.479 --> 01:35:17.039 is unconstitutional. And yet here we are, twenty years later, 1756 01:35:17.119 --> 01:35:19.600 still doing it the same way. Now someone had called 1757 01:35:19.640 --> 01:35:23.119 in because I'm a lawyer, this was a mystery to me. 1758 01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:25.840 How it will be characterized as a complaint. Isn't there 1759 01:35:25.920 --> 01:35:28.319 some mechanism we could refuse to pay our property taxes 1760 01:35:28.319 --> 01:35:30.960 because the Supreme Court has declared it unconstitutional at least 1761 01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:32.239 that portion of the property taxes. 1762 01:35:32.439 --> 01:35:34.560 That's like the sovereign citizen. I say, I don't need 1763 01:35:34.600 --> 01:35:37.119 a license plate. That doesn't work. But here's the thing 1764 01:35:37.279 --> 01:35:39.760 that what you're talking about is the thing from God. 1765 01:35:39.800 --> 01:35:41.960 I was a high school student when this happened, the 1766 01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:46.439 d'off decision, and what it was based on is school facilities. 1767 01:35:46.720 --> 01:35:50.079 The first draft decision was all about you had these 1768 01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:53.640 little Appalachian schools with dirt floors, and then you had 1769 01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:57.600 these suburban schools that were beautiful, and there was disparity 1770 01:35:57.680 --> 01:36:01.279 between that. Honestly, that part has been largely fixed through 1771 01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:03.760 a thing that the Ohio the state government calls the 1772 01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:06.960 school Facilities Commission. You've noticed a lot of nice schools 1773 01:36:07.039 --> 01:36:09.479 built over the last few decades in Ohio. Maybe some 1774 01:36:09.560 --> 01:36:14.199 of them too nice College University exactly. But that was 1775 01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:17.760 the School Facilities Commission. So we've largely fixed the disparity 1776 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:21.640 in school buildings. Now what happens inside of those is 1777 01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:24.319 still a problem, right, And we know that your zip 1778 01:36:24.359 --> 01:36:27.000 code has a lot to do with what quality of 1779 01:36:27.039 --> 01:36:29.640 schools you have. And I think, honestly, this is why 1780 01:36:29.680 --> 01:36:32.399 school choice is so important. I think the school choice 1781 01:36:32.479 --> 01:36:35.159 is the civil rights issue of our era. Amen, no kid. 1782 01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:37.920 If we believe in a meritocracy, we do that any 1783 01:36:38.039 --> 01:36:40.039 kid should be able to grow up and make something 1784 01:36:40.119 --> 01:36:42.479 of themselves and live up to their God given potential. 1785 01:36:42.680 --> 01:36:46.239 It has to start with good schools for any kid. 1786 01:36:46.520 --> 01:36:48.800 By the way, this was one of our founding ideals 1787 01:36:49.159 --> 01:36:52.359 when the Northwest Ordinance created this thing that we now 1788 01:36:52.439 --> 01:36:56.960 call Ohio Right public schools was a revolutionary idea that 1789 01:36:57.039 --> 01:36:59.479 didn't exist and and and so you know, we need 1790 01:36:59.560 --> 01:37:03.159 to have good schools and property tax is currently part 1791 01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:05.560 of the mix. Now here's the problem too, though. If 1792 01:37:05.600 --> 01:37:08.159 you get rid of property taxes, are you relying entirely 1793 01:37:08.359 --> 01:37:12.399 on state level taxation. You don't have local taxation because 1794 01:37:12.439 --> 01:37:15.920 guess what, the people that are paying are making the decisions. 1795 01:37:16.399 --> 01:37:18.600 And so if you want to have local control over 1796 01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:21.159 your schools, you need to have some level of local 1797 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:22.079 funding as well. 1798 01:37:22.560 --> 01:37:25.319 Yeah, no question about it. It complicates matters just I 1799 01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:27.479 mean beyond my comprehension, And sometimes I think. 1800 01:37:27.399 --> 01:37:30.159 How would this all work? You wouldn't design it this way. 1801 01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:32.239 If you were going to start today to design a state, 1802 01:37:32.319 --> 01:37:34.239 you just wouldn't build it this way. But we're stuck 1803 01:37:34.319 --> 01:37:36.119 with some legacy issues that we need to work through. 1804 01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:40.560 Yeah, And on school choice, Indiana has had demonstrably great 1805 01:37:40.760 --> 01:37:43.760 luck with the school choice. They've expanded it, but it's 1806 01:37:43.880 --> 01:37:46.520 proven benefits for the students. The numbers have gone up, 1807 01:37:46.560 --> 01:37:48.880 the reading scores are now in the top ten, their 1808 01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:50.960 math stores are now in the top ten. And it 1809 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:53.039 wasn't always that way. So I think we should embrace 1810 01:37:53.119 --> 01:37:54.680 that model and run with it. 1811 01:37:54.760 --> 01:37:56.439 We've gone a long way on school choice, We've got 1812 01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.439 further to go. Yes, we do, Yes, we do real quick. 1813 01:37:59.479 --> 01:38:02.319 On qualify immunity as qualified immunity men, and speaking of 1814 01:38:03.279 --> 01:38:08.239 ballot isituatives, police do enjoy qualified immunity for the job. 1815 01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:13.720 That they are doing. What's your take on the measure itself. Yeah, 1816 01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:18.880 terrible idea. Imagine a scenario, We're in a completely justifiable 1817 01:38:19.000 --> 01:38:21.600 use of force, So bad guy pulls a gun, police 1818 01:38:21.640 --> 01:38:25.720 officer shoots bad guy, bad guy dies, bad guy's family 1819 01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:29.960 if this past could then personally sue that police officer 1820 01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:33.920 for pain and suffering and lost wages and even a 1821 01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:37.720 completely justifiable situation. And now nobody's going to want to 1822 01:38:37.760 --> 01:38:41.680 be a police officer. If your personal assets, your home, 1823 01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:44.840 your personal wages could be taken away to compensate some 1824 01:38:45.079 --> 01:38:48.560 bad guy's family. It's a crazy idea and it's something 1825 01:38:48.640 --> 01:38:51.920 that really, if it makes the ballot, Ohioan should roundly 1826 01:38:52.159 --> 01:38:54.600 reject it in the name of public safety and standing 1827 01:38:54.640 --> 01:38:56.840 with police. Now, let me be clear, ninety nine point 1828 01:38:56.920 --> 01:38:59.119 nine percent of the time the men and women in 1829 01:38:59.239 --> 01:39:02.000 law enforcement do the right thing. On that fraction of 1830 01:39:02.079 --> 01:39:04.640 a percent. When they don't, they'll face justice for it. 1831 01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:09.039 They need to write and their consequences. But qualified getting 1832 01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:11.720 rid of qualified immunity is a kooky idea. 1833 01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:14.600 I agree completely. It's tough enough getting police who are 1834 01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:18.159 getting citizens to consider entering into law enforcement these days, 1835 01:39:18.479 --> 01:39:20.319 and for someone out there screaming, going, well, if there's 1836 01:39:20.359 --> 01:39:22.640 nothing wrong, it was justifiable shooting, then there's no way 1837 01:39:22.680 --> 01:39:26.600 that could be found liable. There's a thing called legal expenses, 1838 01:39:26.680 --> 01:39:29.000 and having to lawyer up and pay that lawyer four 1839 01:39:29.079 --> 01:39:32.560 or five hundred dollars for every hour work is an 1840 01:39:32.640 --> 01:39:35.159 insurmountable challenge in and of itself. Most people can't afford 1841 01:39:35.199 --> 01:39:36.960 that kind of money, and to foist that upon law 1842 01:39:37.039 --> 01:39:39.479 enforcement officers, it's just going to be a horrific thing. So, 1843 01:39:41.119 --> 01:39:43.880 Frank LeRose, a comment on your run for state Auditor, 1844 01:39:44.039 --> 01:39:46.119 just a real brief before we part company this morning. Yeah. 1845 01:39:46.119 --> 01:39:49.279 So the auditor has two job, catching crooks that engage 1846 01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:52.359 in public corruption. Anybody that would break the public trust 1847 01:39:52.479 --> 01:39:55.039 by taking tax dollars and put in their own pocket 1848 01:39:55.119 --> 01:39:57.479 needs to be in jail. That happens, unfortunately. I'll do 1849 01:39:57.640 --> 01:40:00.560 that as Auditor of state. The other thing is government efficiency. 1850 01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:03.520 The auditor can come into any of six thousand different 1851 01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:06.560 local and state government offices and find out if they're 1852 01:40:06.640 --> 01:40:07.920 running as smoothly as they should. 1853 01:40:08.159 --> 01:40:08.640 Think about it. 1854 01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:11.319 As Ohio doje, That's how I plan to use it 1855 01:40:11.640 --> 01:40:14.399 to shake the waste out of local and state government. 1856 01:40:14.479 --> 01:40:16.640 I'm excited about this. I've got quite a few listeners 1857 01:40:16.640 --> 01:40:19.039 out there right now probably screaming the word medicaid at 1858 01:40:19.079 --> 01:40:20.960 the rate because I know we got some problems during 1859 01:40:21.000 --> 01:40:21.920 the State of Ohiowa. 1860 01:40:21.720 --> 01:40:25.279 Brawd abuse all of that. Yeah, and our current auditor, 1861 01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:27.840 Keith Faber, has has gone a long way. He's done 1862 01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:30.960 an audit of the state medicaid system. But now it's 1863 01:40:31.039 --> 01:40:33.199 time that we implement some of those things. By the way, 1864 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:35.359 this is why I'm excited for our next governor, who 1865 01:40:35.399 --> 01:40:37.279 I believe is going to be Viviak Ramaswami. I think 1866 01:40:37.319 --> 01:40:39.399 he's the man that's got the courage to actually fix 1867 01:40:39.479 --> 01:40:41.119 the stuff that the auditor finds wrong. 1868 01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:44.000 Boy, he have the backing of the Ohio Republican Party too. 1869 01:40:44.239 --> 01:40:47.119 Was it vote sixty sixty to three or something like that? 1870 01:40:47.439 --> 01:40:49.079 Tell you what, Yeah, is a good man. 1871 01:40:49.600 --> 01:40:53.239 You're seeing a consolidation early because he's a visionary leader 1872 01:40:53.279 --> 01:40:54.960 that actually has the courage to get things done. I 1873 01:40:55.039 --> 01:40:56.880 describe it as you know in the military, you've got 1874 01:40:56.960 --> 01:40:59.279 leaders you have to follow because they've got more rank. 1875 01:40:59.920 --> 01:41:01.960 Is that rare leader that you want to follow? And 1876 01:41:02.600 --> 01:41:04.560 I was the first one back. Yeah, I was the 1877 01:41:04.600 --> 01:41:06.319 first one to back him. I'm out on the campaign 1878 01:41:06.319 --> 01:41:08.720 trail with him all the time, and I think he's 1879 01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:12.239 got the potential to be the most transformative governor of 1880 01:41:12.520 --> 01:41:13.079 our generation. 1881 01:41:13.399 --> 01:41:15.960 I share your belief in that. I truly do. Frank Lrose. 1882 01:41:16.000 --> 01:41:17.359 It has been a real pleasure and thanks for stopping 1883 01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:19.560 in the studio this morning, folks, stick around.

But after being diagnosed with diabetes himself, he 1937 01:43:52.640 --> 01:43:56.520 saw a major gap in care with conditions like pre diabetes, 1938 01:43:56.600 --> 01:43:59.800 type two, type three, gestational diabetes, as well as in 1939 01:44:00.199 --> 01:44:03.800 and resistance US Diabetes Care.

Welcome 1943 01:44:13.960 --> 01:44:15.880 to the program, Tim Kellert. It's a real pleasure to 1944 01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:16.199 have you on. 1945 01:44:17.960 --> 01:44:20.079 Thank you, good morning, A pleasure to be on. 1946 01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:23.000 But it's timing is really interesting because I woke up 1947 01:44:23.039 --> 01:44:24.640 this morning and I was going through my notes and 1948 01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:26.399 looking at the updated news, and I always refer to 1949 01:44:26.399 --> 01:44:28.560 the Wall Street Journal. There's their headline right there. How 1950 01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:32.039 chronic disease became the biggest scourge in American health and 1951 01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:36.239 diabetes number three on the list of common chronic conditions, 1952 01:44:36.279 --> 01:44:39.560 with about fifteen percent of the US population dealing with diabetes. 1953 01:44:40.199 --> 01:44:42.159 And this has gone up over the years, hasn't it. 1954 01:44:42.279 --> 01:44:44.239 I mean, there's been a real problem in the United 1955 01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:49.880 States with a growing problem with diabetes. Yes, I mean diabetes. 1956 01:44:50.479 --> 01:44:53.600 Right now, we have ninety three million pre diabetics in 1957 01:44:53.680 --> 01:44:57.960 the country, well thirty nine registered diabetics, which means on 1958 01:44:58.079 --> 01:45:02.399 a Medicare Medicaid numbers. They're registered as you know, type two, 1959 01:45:02.439 --> 01:45:06.279 which means A and C above seven. The reality is 1960 01:45:06.359 --> 01:45:08.640 is pre DIBs. I don't really buy into that whole 1961 01:45:08.680 --> 01:45:11.159 pre DIBs. I tell people you're not pre pregnant mean 1962 01:45:11.239 --> 01:45:15.359 either you're diabetic, you're not. They've they've diagnosed pre ibs 1963 01:45:15.399 --> 01:45:17.279 from A five, six or seven, oh, A and C 1964 01:45:17.840 --> 01:45:19.720 so they can sell more drugs. I mean, it's it's 1965 01:45:19.840 --> 01:45:23.560 very simple. If there is a precondition, it's a good 1966 01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:26.199 place to get a diabetic because we can make lifestyle 1967 01:45:26.359 --> 01:45:30.960 changes through education that can really reverse the disease pretty quickly. 1968 01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:35.039 Reverse by meaning if you are diabetic, you can at 1969 01:45:35.079 --> 01:45:37.800 some point in your life maybe no longer be diabetic. 1970 01:45:37.840 --> 01:45:40.000 Now does that depend on the type of diabetes you 1971 01:45:40.079 --> 01:45:40.760 are diagnosed with? 1972 01:45:42.279 --> 01:45:43.680 Absolutely so type. 1973 01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:48.479 One autoimmune you're intdependent. You can't you're not doing uploading 1974 01:45:48.560 --> 01:45:51.159 to the muscle for lucagon. So that's kind of a 1975 01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:54.119 you know, a way different disease. But TYE two, type 1976 01:45:54.159 --> 01:45:59.039 three baster, type three dementia, destation of diabetes in some resistance, 1977 01:45:59.119 --> 01:46:00.479 all those things can be reversed. 1978 01:46:01.000 --> 01:46:03.039 And what is the problem. And we also have a 1979 01:46:03.079 --> 01:46:07.439 growing obesity problem. Quite often obesity is cited as one 1980 01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:09.439 of the things that might lead you to having diabetes. 1981 01:46:09.520 --> 01:46:10.960 This is all about our diet. 1982 01:46:12.600 --> 01:46:17.840 Absolutely. So you know, big Pharma, big medical, they got 1983 01:46:17.880 --> 01:46:21.920 they got together with the processed food industry convinced of it. 1984 01:46:22.119 --> 01:46:24.760 And there's no money in a cure, so came up 1985 01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:27.359 with a bunch of ideals around food to make us thick. 1986 01:46:28.079 --> 01:46:31.680 The whole inner aisle of the grocery stores fast foods 1987 01:46:32.680 --> 01:46:38.680 are filled with you know, saturated fats, processed fats, refined foods, 1988 01:46:38.960 --> 01:46:44.920 refine wheat, hypertuos, corn strup, processed sugar, flour, hydrizing, and 1989 01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:47.680 nice wheat. And these are all chemical poisons in these 1990 01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:51.560 foods that are quite honestly killing Americans. And you know 1991 01:46:51.640 --> 01:46:53.600 that's interesting. I saw that in the Wall Street Journal 1992 01:46:53.600 --> 01:46:56.239 as well. But I'm not buying that diabetes is the 1993 01:46:56.319 --> 01:46:59.399 number three calls because people are dying of heart disease. 1994 01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:04.279 Guarantee their bottom line is because of diabetes. If somebody 1995 01:47:04.359 --> 01:47:06.119 dies or heart attack or stroke, to say, oh, they 1996 01:47:06.159 --> 01:47:08.199 had died a heart attack or stroke, but really the 1997 01:47:08.399 --> 01:47:10.239 underline tradition will get them with diabetes. 1998 01:47:10.600 --> 01:47:12.680 Yes, I'll tell you what. Let's pause, We'll bring you back, 1999 01:47:12.720 --> 01:47:16.319 we'll talk a little bit more about this very important topic, diabetes. 2000 01:47:17.039 --> 01:47:20.199 Tim Keller, founder of US Diabetes Care.

An infant resistance starts from uploading 2059 01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:23.279 the muscle earlier than it becomes a hyperglycemia in the body. 2060 01:50:23.920 --> 01:50:27.159 So what we do is we basically do a lifestyle platform, 2061 01:50:27.600 --> 01:50:31.359 lumble into education, blue zone, educate people into mind so 2062 01:50:31.439 --> 01:50:34.279 they can make lifestyle choices to fix your body. And 2063 01:50:34.359 --> 01:50:38.920 it's real simple, Brian. I mean a get moving, exercise, hydration, 2064 01:50:40.000 --> 01:50:42.760 a lot of water, fiber, you know, increase your fiber, 2065 01:50:42.800 --> 01:50:46.479 and take eat a lot more fruits and vegetables. Westerny's 2066 01:50:46.520 --> 01:50:49.640 medicine is broken. Doctors don't have any nutrition training at all. 2067 01:50:49.720 --> 01:50:52.600 They treat a symptom, not a patient, and they have 2068 01:50:52.840 --> 01:50:56.439 very little education around nutrition. They tell diabetics they can't 2069 01:50:56.439 --> 01:51:02.880 eat fruit. It's the most ridiculous lie. For all the 2070 01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:05.840 fruits and vegetables you want actually, and you know, lend 2071 01:51:05.880 --> 01:51:07.479 me your meat intake. The problem is there is a 2072 01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:10.479 lot of the meat that we're sourcing is you know, blockbuster, 2073 01:51:10.560 --> 01:51:14.720 a big process to agriculture meat, which is been people 2074 01:51:14.760 --> 01:51:18.039 are consuming meat breakfast, lunch to dinner for every meal. 2075 01:51:18.600 --> 01:51:22.520 It's just unnecessary, it's inflammatory. And then all the processed 2076 01:51:22.520 --> 01:51:24.720 foods are throwing on top of it, It creates an 2077 01:51:24.720 --> 01:51:27.960 intelliate lipid fat in your cells, which fells the metabolic 2078 01:51:28.199 --> 01:51:33.439 stelluar dysfunction and the lifestyle changes we we we've got 2079 01:51:33.439 --> 01:51:36.560 about a ninety percent reversal rate of diabetes on people 2080 01:51:36.600 --> 01:51:39.600 to actually finish and graduate from our program through education. 2081 01:51:40.319 --> 01:51:43.039 Well how about that? Now? What is the story on carves? 2082 01:51:43.079 --> 01:51:43.159 Now? 2083 01:51:43.199 --> 01:51:46.239 I'm staring at the modern current food pyramid, which is 2084 01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:48.520 different from what I was taught as a child. And 2085 01:51:48.840 --> 01:51:51.119 who created the food pyramid? And are we supposed to 2086 01:51:51.239 --> 01:51:53.640 really truly consume thirty percent of our diet in the 2087 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:56.760 form of carves because I thought carbs were We learned 2088 01:51:56.760 --> 01:51:59.359 that carves were the problem, or at least were a problem. 2089 01:52:01.399 --> 01:52:04.520 Yeah, So carbs, you know, is always the confusing part, 2090 01:52:04.560 --> 01:52:07.560 and that's where education comes in. There's healthy carbs and 2091 01:52:07.600 --> 01:52:11.079 there's bad carbs. The bad carbs or anything from process 2092 01:52:11.239 --> 01:52:16.359 white foods, process flour, so anything like baked goods, breads, 2093 01:52:18.079 --> 01:52:21.600 you know, anything that's white, we say isn't right. So, 2094 01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:24.439 you know, those kinds of carbs are bad for you. 2095 01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:28.439 But there's carbs and fruits and vegetables that are good 2096 01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:30.920 for you. So we try to have people focus on 2097 01:52:31.439 --> 01:52:32.920 good carbs and not bad carbs. 2098 01:52:33.479 --> 01:52:35.560 Well, what about the idea of I'm sure that you're 2099 01:52:35.640 --> 01:52:39.600 an opponent of consuming process sugary foods and my experience 2100 01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:41.880 with that, I learned that there's a direct correlation with 2101 01:52:42.439 --> 01:52:45.640 sugar intake and cancer because cancer apparently loves sugar, and 2102 01:52:46.159 --> 01:52:50.119 I've been diagnosed with lymphoma. So I thought. I took 2103 01:52:50.119 --> 01:52:52.920 it upon myself last October to try to cut almost 2104 01:52:53.039 --> 01:52:55.880 every single added sugar out of my diet along with 2105 01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:58.640 curving carbs. I end up losing about twenty pounds and 2106 01:52:58.680 --> 01:53:00.560 I feel a lot better. Tim That's kind of why 2107 01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:03.479 I bring it up. But uh, what I learned over 2108 01:53:03.560 --> 01:53:07.199 the process though, by reading labels, sugar is everywhere. It's 2109 01:53:07.279 --> 01:53:10.600 in everything added sugars. I kind even quit eating ketchup 2110 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:13.079 because there's like a whole bunch of it in the tablespood. 2111 01:53:14.520 --> 01:53:18.560 Yeah, it's sugar is literally, and the problem is it's Brian, 2112 01:53:18.600 --> 01:53:21.279 It's not just sugar, it's processed sugar. Yeah, and there 2113 01:53:21.439 --> 01:53:23.800 you know there's a link to processed sugar bean is 2114 01:53:23.840 --> 01:53:27.439 it is more addictive than cocaine. Okay, So there's studies 2115 01:53:27.479 --> 01:53:30.319 all over with that and for the children and all 2116 01:53:30.359 --> 01:53:32.600 the process foods, they're pretting this in everything, So you 2117 01:53:32.640 --> 01:53:36.159 wonder why these kids have addiction to refine processed foods 2118 01:53:37.039 --> 01:53:40.359 and living a lot much more sanitary lifestyle and in 2119 01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:42.800 bract of cancer. You know, this is the thing about 2120 01:53:42.840 --> 01:53:46.520 our lifestyle for diabetes. You start founding our lifestyle for diabetes, 2121 01:53:46.560 --> 01:53:49.119 I mean, we're we can help you, you know, curve. 2122 01:53:49.920 --> 01:53:52.840 You know cancer as well, Cancer lives in the cnic environment, 2123 01:53:52.960 --> 01:53:55.960 right and they acid dry as a cancer and a 2124 01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:59.439 lot of that acid comes from sugar. So if you 2125 01:53:59.479 --> 01:54:01.640 stuff off sugar and the acid in the body, cancer 2126 01:54:01.720 --> 01:54:06.039 can't survive. So you know, there's no guarantee around that. 2127 01:54:06.239 --> 01:54:09.239 But you know, we've had patients you know, ironically that 2128 01:54:09.319 --> 01:54:13.239 have diabetes and cancer on our lifestyle platform and they've 2129 01:54:13.279 --> 01:54:14.680 been able to reverse their disease. 2130 01:54:15.199 --> 01:54:18.199 And that lifestyle platform at us diabetescare dot com. So 2131 01:54:18.560 --> 01:54:21.600 what what services do you offer there that that my 2132 01:54:21.720 --> 01:54:23.560 listeners could take advantage of to the ese stents they're 2133 01:54:23.560 --> 01:54:24.600 dealing with these problems. 2134 01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:28.479 Yeah, so we're full of the Transition program Care diabet 2135 01:54:28.560 --> 01:54:32.359 Clinic as well, so we do you know, clinical diabetes, 2136 01:54:32.760 --> 01:54:36.960 We have everything underrun roof so basically do automot nervous 2137 01:54:36.960 --> 01:54:40.600 system tests brain stands in house neurologists, so we deal 2138 01:54:40.640 --> 01:54:44.319 a lot with the type three after demensied diabetes and 2139 01:54:44.439 --> 01:54:46.720 then from a you know, obviously we have two large 2140 01:54:46.800 --> 01:54:50.840 education classes where we do live education and I think 2141 01:54:51.000 --> 01:54:52.399 you know once again we have it through and a 2142 01:54:52.399 --> 01:54:55.600 half now as well as dibescare dot com.

But the key to all this, 2147 01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:12.920 you know, taking apart the clinical side, is for everybody 2148 01:55:12.920 --> 01:55:15.960 who's really educated about the truth about diabetes.

We talk about brain health and beyond. 2152 01:55:26.560 --> 01:55:29.640 I mean, we really dive into things that people just 2153 01:55:29.720 --> 01:55:33.640 aren't learning in regular western ice medicine. And you can't 2154 01:55:33.720 --> 01:55:35.520 learn it when you have a two hour wait in 2155 01:55:35.640 --> 01:55:38.279 the way room and you get a five minute appointment. 2156 01:55:38.319 --> 01:55:39.840 You're not going to change somebody's life. 2157 01:55:39.640 --> 01:55:43.039 That way, no question. Tim it's I mean, western medicine 2158 01:55:43.079 --> 01:55:46.800 does it just treats the symptom. But I don't know 2159 01:55:46.840 --> 01:55:48.640 how you feel about RFK Junior, But I'm kind of 2160 01:55:48.680 --> 01:55:51.920 excited that he's sort of bringing this proactivity, getting in 2161 01:55:52.079 --> 01:55:54.760 front of the disease and starting out with a more 2162 01:55:54.800 --> 01:55:57.319 healthy lifestyle in order to prevent it from occurring in 2163 01:55:57.359 --> 01:55:59.159 the first instance. And I think that's a more practical 2164 01:55:59.199 --> 01:56:01.720 and common sense approach to dealing with it. But as 2165 01:56:01.800 --> 01:56:03.439 you point out, you know, one of the big elephants 2166 01:56:03.479 --> 01:56:05.760 in the room is the existence of these pharmaceutical companies 2167 01:56:05.840 --> 01:56:08.239 and they're in the business of getting people to pop pills. 2168 01:56:08.319 --> 01:56:10.000 That's how they make their money, and they're happy to 2169 01:56:10.039 --> 01:56:11.800 see more and more people have to pop them or 2170 01:56:11.960 --> 01:56:12.880 you know, buy the insulin. 2171 01:56:14.560 --> 01:56:17.359 Absolutely, and the RFK juniors got a big task in 2172 01:56:17.439 --> 01:56:20.039 front of them. But I like what he's doing, you know, 2173 01:56:20.079 --> 01:56:23.199 I like the Donald Trump passed the Executive Order for 2174 01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:26.680 the Decrease in Drugs. I think along with that, they 2175 01:56:26.760 --> 01:56:29.119 have to pass an executive order to get rid of 2176 01:56:29.159 --> 01:56:32.680 these prior authorizations, which is the mental band that deny 2177 01:56:32.800 --> 01:56:35.239 these drugs when patients go to the pharmacy to try 2178 01:56:35.279 --> 01:56:38.079 to get them or make them two way too costly. 2179 01:56:38.199 --> 01:56:40.079 I mean, like Jardians, which is one of the best 2180 01:56:40.159 --> 01:56:42.760 drugs out there for diabets right now. I mean, we're 2181 01:56:42.800 --> 01:56:44.479 our goal to get people off. But if there's a 2182 01:56:44.520 --> 01:56:47.079 good drugs, Juardians is a really good drug and it's 2183 01:56:47.159 --> 01:56:49.319 like thirteen hundred dollars on homes cash out of pocket, 2184 01:56:49.399 --> 01:56:52.960 and means who can afford that? And so we and 2185 01:56:53.079 --> 01:56:55.600 we spend a lot of time fighting with the insurance 2186 01:56:55.640 --> 01:56:57.920 companies to pay for these drugs for diabets that really 2187 01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:00.880 need them, and so that that's a big problem too. 2188 01:57:00.960 --> 01:57:04.039 So I think along with you know, the thirty percent off, 2189 01:57:04.079 --> 01:57:07.279 they need to you know, look into the middleman of 2190 01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:08.680 the drugs too. 2191 01:57:09.000 --> 01:57:12.159 Yeah, the pharmacy benefit managers. Get rid of those. Boy, 2192 01:57:12.199 --> 01:57:14.319 that would streamline the process. Wouldn't take a lot of 2193 01:57:14.359 --> 01:57:15.079 the cost out of there. 2194 01:57:15.079 --> 01:57:15.479 Oh yeah. 2195 01:57:16.119 --> 01:57:21.039 US Diabeticscare dot Com are us diabetescare dot com where 2196 01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.239 you find Tim Keller and the tips and information about 2197 01:57:24.239 --> 01:57:26.560 diabetes along with the opportunity to get the app if 2198 01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:29.399 you're so inclined.

It's Friday E looking forward 2266 02:00:46.000 --> 02:00:48.920 to having Dave Hatter on tomorrow six thirty and uh, 2267 02:00:49.119 --> 02:00:51.319 you know, since we're talking about health this morning, and 2268 02:00:51.399 --> 02:00:54.680 he did allude to the uh, Donald Trump executive will 2269 02:00:54.680 --> 02:00:56.960 to reduce the cost of prescription of pharmaceutical drugs. I 2270 02:00:57.039 --> 02:00:59.960 had asked out loud, because that's something that the devil 2271 02:01:00.039 --> 02:01:02.359 rocrats have been advocating for for a long time, lowering 2272 02:01:02.399 --> 02:01:05.039 the cost of pharmaceuticals, lower the cost of pharmaceuticals? Are 2273 02:01:05.039 --> 02:01:06.920 you going to accomplish that? So lo and behold. Donald 2274 02:01:06.920 --> 02:01:09.359 Trump comes up with the executive order and says, here's 2275 02:01:09.359 --> 02:01:12.000 how you do it. Most Favored Nation status that whoever's 2276 02:01:12.000 --> 02:01:14.239 out there paying the least price for a pharmaceutical, they're 2277 02:01:14.239 --> 02:01:16.720 working with the pharmaceutical companies. How is it that Europe 2278 02:01:16.760 --> 02:01:19.079 gets their drugs for cheaper than the United States. How 2279 02:01:19.199 --> 02:01:21.800 is it the candidate gets there's cheaper than the United States? Well, 2280 02:01:22.279 --> 02:01:25.520 I guess because socialized medicine. They pleaded the pharmaceutical companies 2281 02:01:25.560 --> 02:01:27.640 and say, hey, you know, go builk the Americans for 2282 02:01:27.720 --> 02:01:29.920 the high cost of medicine. They'll fund your research and 2283 02:01:29.960 --> 02:01:34.079 development and your profits. We need a cheaper price. Well, 2284 02:01:34.199 --> 02:01:36.680 I guess it's time to spread the spread the burden 2285 02:01:37.119 --> 02:01:39.399 on a broader number of people in the world. So 2286 02:01:39.560 --> 02:01:41.439 that's what's going on. I had asked, what you go, 2287 02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:44.479 how are the Democrats going to object to this? Because 2288 02:01:44.479 --> 02:01:46.560 you know, anything evil Orange Man does, they're going to 2289 02:01:46.600 --> 02:01:48.800 say no to It doesn't matter how much sense it makes. 2290 02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:54.800 If this Trump arrangement syndrome, it's built into literally everything. Well, 2291 02:01:55.000 --> 02:01:58.920 I was pleasantly surprised. The Representative ro Kana, no right 2292 02:01:59.039 --> 02:02:02.399 winger ro Kana, Democrat out of California, has introduced legislations 2293 02:02:02.479 --> 02:02:06.319 to codify President Trump's executive order. Say that's the right 2294 02:02:06.359 --> 02:02:09.920 thing to do. Today introduced bipartisan legislation to codify Trump's 2295 02:02:09.920 --> 02:02:12.359 executive order ensuring Americans do not pay more than people 2296 02:02:12.560 --> 02:02:16.439 in other countries for drugs, asking Congressional members to stand 2297 02:02:16.560 --> 02:02:22.399 with Rocana in codifying the executive order. So this is 2298 02:02:22.520 --> 02:02:24.399 one that they're not going to stand in the way of. 2299 02:02:24.680 --> 02:02:27.920 At least there's one that's not going to stand in 2300 02:02:27.960 --> 02:02:30.399 the way of it. So good, let's hope that that 2301 02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:33.439 bears fruit seven fifty five fifty five KRC, the talk station. 2302 02:02:33.840 --> 02:02:36.239 After the top of the R news Doctor Paul Winfrey, 2303 02:02:36.399 --> 02:02:40.000 CEO the Economic Policy Innovation Center.

When you 2329 02:04:02.239 --> 02:04:03.840 read the news, you think the world is coming to 2330 02:04:03.880 --> 02:04:06.479 an end. Oh my god, eight point six million people 2331 02:04:06.520 --> 02:04:08.960 are going to be deprived of healthcare if these reforms 2332 02:04:09.039 --> 02:04:12.039 go in that the Republicans are talking about. Let us 2333 02:04:12.119 --> 02:04:14.000 start with it seems to me that many of the 2334 02:04:14.039 --> 02:04:17.840 Democrats who are railing against requiring people who are able 2335 02:04:17.960 --> 02:04:21.920 bodied in their prime work years to actually participate and 2336 02:04:22.159 --> 02:04:25.800 work or do something for twenty hours a week, they 2337 02:04:25.840 --> 02:04:28.760 shouldn't be on Medicaid. Can you remind my listeners who 2338 02:04:28.880 --> 02:04:30.960 may be on this fence and about the issue what 2339 02:04:31.279 --> 02:04:33.720 Medicaid was originally designed to do. 2340 02:04:36.000 --> 02:04:38.439 That's exactly right. I mean, if you break down the 2341 02:04:38.520 --> 02:04:42.279 eight million person number, or the eight million lost coverage number. 2342 02:04:42.640 --> 02:04:45.520 One point four million of those folks are illegal immigrants. 2343 02:04:45.960 --> 02:04:48.359 One and a half million of them are not eligible 2344 02:04:48.479 --> 02:04:51.279 for Medicaid, but they've been retained on the program by 2345 02:04:51.760 --> 02:04:55.840 regulations that are promulgated by the Biden administration. Another couple 2346 02:04:55.880 --> 02:04:58.479 of million are people who don't even exist right now, 2347 02:04:58.600 --> 02:05:01.279 but CBO says may this in the future and maybe 2348 02:05:01.359 --> 02:05:06.119 eligible for Medicaid. And everybody else are working age adults 2349 02:05:06.199 --> 02:05:10.359 who are healthy and currently on the program and don't 2350 02:05:10.439 --> 02:05:13.840 have any don't have any requirement to work. When the 2351 02:05:13.960 --> 02:05:17.479 program was created, as you mentioned, in the nineteen sixties, 2352 02:05:17.840 --> 02:05:20.640 this was a program for the vulnerable folks, the disabled, 2353 02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:24.760 the blind, pregnant moms and kids. And what we've seen 2354 02:05:24.920 --> 02:05:28.560 over the last ten years is the program has evolved 2355 02:05:28.760 --> 02:05:33.680 to benefit the healthy adults without dependence over the truly vulnerable, 2356 02:05:34.039 --> 02:05:36.960 which is changing the way that medicine is delivered and 2357 02:05:37.239 --> 02:05:40.479 ultimately making it harder for folks who truly need the 2358 02:05:40.520 --> 02:05:44.520 Medicaid program to see to see doctors, and to get 2359 02:05:44.560 --> 02:05:46.239 the healthcare that they ultimately need. 2360 02:05:46.720 --> 02:05:49.680 So what they've done is they've undermined Medicaid's original intent. 2361 02:05:49.800 --> 02:05:51.960 They put all these people on who weren't eligible for 2362 02:05:52.000 --> 02:05:54.560 it originally. How is it that it expanded so much 2363 02:05:54.600 --> 02:05:56.640 and people didn't say, well, well, whoa, whoa, we're we're 2364 02:05:58.000 --> 02:06:00.800 this has gone way beyond the scope of what was 2365 02:06:00.960 --> 02:06:04.319 truly intended. Yeah, So get this. 2366 02:06:04.960 --> 02:06:08.319 When Obamacare was created in twenty ten, and then it 2367 02:06:08.439 --> 02:06:12.159 expanded the medicaid program to the healthy adults in twenty fourteen, 2368 02:06:12.720 --> 02:06:17.239 they knew that states would be disinclined to expand Medicaid 2369 02:06:17.319 --> 02:06:20.000 to the healthy population because it would have added to 2370 02:06:20.079 --> 02:06:23.239 their state budgets. And so what they did is they 2371 02:06:23.359 --> 02:06:27.239 set up a new financing structure that rewards states for 2372 02:06:27.560 --> 02:06:28.760 enrolling healthy adults. 2373 02:06:29.199 --> 02:06:30.560 So for every one. 2374 02:06:30.520 --> 02:06:34.199 Dollar that states spend, they get nine dollars from the 2375 02:06:34.279 --> 02:06:37.840 federal government if they enroll in help healthy adults without kids, 2376 02:06:38.359 --> 02:06:41.600 and they get a dollar thirty three for every dollar 2377 02:06:41.680 --> 02:06:46.640 that they spend for every pregnant mom, disabled person, blind person, 2378 02:06:46.880 --> 02:06:49.880 elderly person or child that they put on the Medicaid program. 2379 02:06:50.479 --> 02:06:52.960 And so if you think about it that way from 2380 02:06:53.039 --> 02:06:57.239 a state's perspective, they're literally rewarded by the federal government 2381 02:06:57.399 --> 02:07:01.560 for enrolling and shifting medicine towards it's healthy adults over 2382 02:07:01.720 --> 02:07:05.520 people who truly need it, and and that those those 2383 02:07:05.600 --> 02:07:10.319 incentives have become even more strengthened because of some Biden 2384 02:07:10.399 --> 02:07:12.960 regulations that have been pushed out over the last four 2385 02:07:13.079 --> 02:07:18.159 years that have just accelerated that and encouraged states even 2386 02:07:18.279 --> 02:07:21.920 more to take up the Obamacare expansion. And that's that's 2387 02:07:22.199 --> 02:07:23.720 that's really what we're talking about here. 2388 02:07:23.960 --> 02:07:26.399 So the left has been advocating for universal health care. 2389 02:07:26.520 --> 02:07:28.399 I mean, it was supposed to Obamacare is supposed to 2390 02:07:28.439 --> 02:07:30.239 do that. I know Hillary Clinton never to do it 2391 02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:33.039 back when she was the first Lady, but obviously it 2392 02:07:33.079 --> 02:07:35.159 didn't go through then. But this sounds just like a 2393 02:07:35.239 --> 02:07:38.640 nefarious backdoor mechanism to create that reality because more and 2394 02:07:38.720 --> 02:07:41.800 more people are expanded put on Medicaid and are not 2395 02:07:42.000 --> 02:07:44.640 in private insurance or or dealing with it on their own. 2396 02:07:44.760 --> 02:07:48.680 Is that that kind of what's actually unfolding here, Bingo, 2397 02:07:48.800 --> 02:07:51.520 You're exactly right. So the left has been talking for 2398 02:07:51.680 --> 02:07:54.840 years about medicare for all. Right, Bernie Sanders has been 2399 02:07:54.880 --> 02:07:56.720 talking about medicare for all for years. 2400 02:07:56.760 --> 02:07:59.800 You've got bills to do this. Democrats in the House, AOC, 2401 02:08:00.039 --> 02:08:00.520 they also have. 2402 02:08:00.560 --> 02:08:01.119 Bills to do this. 2403 02:08:01.920 --> 02:08:04.680 The real Trojan horse here is that it was never 2404 02:08:04.800 --> 02:08:07.159 intended to be Medicare for all. It was intended to 2405 02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:10.800 be Medicaid for all. And one of the big differences 2406 02:08:10.880 --> 02:08:15.720 the seniors know between Medicare and Medicaid is that doctors 2407 02:08:15.760 --> 02:08:20.279 get paid much less for seeing the vulnerable population in 2408 02:08:20.399 --> 02:08:23.720 Medicaid than they do for Medicare or private health insurance 2409 02:08:23.920 --> 02:08:27.760 or even Medicaid for the healthy adults because of the 2410 02:08:28.319 --> 02:08:32.359 incentive structure to push medicine towards the healthy adults in 2411 02:08:32.399 --> 02:08:35.520 the Medicaid program. What that means is that right now 2412 02:08:35.640 --> 02:08:39.880 today there are about seven hundred and ten thousand disabled 2413 02:08:39.920 --> 02:08:44.439 Americans on Medicaid waitlists to get things like home health 2414 02:08:44.520 --> 02:08:48.680 care because the states have again been incentivized not to 2415 02:08:48.840 --> 02:08:52.560 spend on that population because that's what the federal government 2416 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:56.079 has been telling them to do. And if they keep 2417 02:08:56.199 --> 02:09:00.000 moving this in the tenet non expansion states expand Meday 2418 02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:03.640 cave like Texas and Florida and Georgia, then we are 2419 02:09:03.720 --> 02:09:07.279 going to become that much closer to a Medicaid for 2420 02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:10.960 all system where there's just a takeover of healthcare and 2421 02:09:11.039 --> 02:09:13.600 it's all run out of HHS. That's where we're going 2422 02:09:13.680 --> 02:09:16.960 right now. Eighty million Americans are on Medicaid, a program 2423 02:09:17.119 --> 02:09:19.039 that was originally intended to. 2424 02:09:19.119 --> 02:09:22.199 Be for the truly vulnerable. And I know you've pointed 2425 02:09:22.239 --> 02:09:24.960 out in your research, in your in your writings on 2426 02:09:25.079 --> 02:09:29.199 this that states exploit medical medicaid with with what you 2427 02:09:29.319 --> 02:09:32.920 referred to as loopholes, private provider taxes and state directed payments, 2428 02:09:33.399 --> 02:09:35.800 which you I think referred to as money laundering schemes. 2429 02:09:35.800 --> 02:09:37.800 How do these work? And isn't this a reform that 2430 02:09:37.840 --> 02:09:40.000 should be incorporated into what the Republicans are trying to 2431 02:09:40.079 --> 02:09:40.520 do right now? 2432 02:09:42.760 --> 02:09:46.560 So the medicaid provider taxes, if the private sector were 2433 02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:48.159 to do this, it would be illegal. 2434 02:09:48.319 --> 02:09:50.319 People will go to jail. Literally. 2435 02:09:50.479 --> 02:09:56.079 What happens is that the states tax medicaid providers, insurers, 2436 02:09:56.239 --> 02:10:02.159 and hospitals in particular. They then re the same amount 2437 02:10:02.319 --> 02:10:05.319 of money that they're taxing the hospitals and the insurance, 2438 02:10:05.319 --> 02:10:08.560 So they pay the insurers and the hospitals to pay 2439 02:10:08.640 --> 02:10:12.000 the tax. They then build the federal government for the 2440 02:10:12.079 --> 02:10:15.479 amount of that tax, and the federal government reimburses the state. 2441 02:10:16.159 --> 02:10:18.880 The states then split the money that they get from 2442 02:10:18.920 --> 02:10:21.920 the federal government with the providers, so they send it 2443 02:10:22.000 --> 02:10:26.479 to the insurers and through higher capitation rates or higher premiums, 2444 02:10:26.880 --> 02:10:30.920 and they send it to the hospitals to higher payments. 2445 02:10:31.399 --> 02:10:35.800 But here's the really wild thing that's going on here again. 2446 02:10:36.359 --> 02:10:39.920 Because states get nine dollars from the federal government for 2447 02:10:40.000 --> 02:10:43.840 every one dollar that they spend on the healthy population, 2448 02:10:44.520 --> 02:10:49.760 they're incentivized to gain this in particular in the direction 2449 02:10:50.479 --> 02:10:54.119 of the healthy population. And so what we're seeing right 2450 02:10:54.199 --> 02:10:58.279 now play out in quite literally real time is that 2451 02:10:58.600 --> 02:11:02.520 there's a collusion between state governments and the hospitals and 2452 02:11:02.640 --> 02:11:06.600 the insurers to figure out ways in which they can 2453 02:11:07.279 --> 02:11:12.720 increase premiums and prices for the healthy adult population to 2454 02:11:12.880 --> 02:11:16.600 take advantage of these money laundering schemes. And what that's 2455 02:11:16.680 --> 02:11:20.560 doing is it's quite literally redirecting the way that medicine 2456 02:11:20.640 --> 02:11:24.359 is delivered so that the vulnerable folks don't want to 2457 02:11:24.399 --> 02:11:27.600 be seen by doctors. Rather, the doctors want to see 2458 02:11:27.760 --> 02:11:31.079 healthy folks because they get paid more for seeing them 2459 02:11:31.159 --> 02:11:33.720 by the federal and state governments. And if in personally, 2460 02:11:33.720 --> 02:11:36.399 I mean just as a as a tax paying American, 2461 02:11:36.760 --> 02:11:38.479 I think that that's wrong and I don't want to 2462 02:11:38.520 --> 02:11:41.399 see my own my own tax dollars go for things like. 2463 02:11:41.479 --> 02:11:47.520 That that structure is just I'm just my mind is 2464 02:11:47.560 --> 02:11:50.520 boggled by this, doctor Winfrey. And then that's the way 2465 02:11:50.600 --> 02:11:54.039 it exists, creating zero incentive whatsoever for states that want 2466 02:11:54.039 --> 02:11:55.960 to reign in or or ride heard over the Medicaid 2467 02:11:56.000 --> 02:11:58.960 dollars that are being spent. I mean, there's zero incentive there. 2468 02:12:00.319 --> 02:12:04.319 Their zero incentive. And we've seen, I mean, your listeners. 2469 02:12:04.000 --> 02:12:06.520 Know exactly the states that have abused us the most 2470 02:12:06.640 --> 02:12:09.520 without me even saying the name's California and New York. 2471 02:12:10.000 --> 02:12:13.640 But California and New York have used these money long 2472 02:12:13.720 --> 02:12:16.920 during scams to funnel more and more money back to 2473 02:12:17.039 --> 02:12:19.920 the back back to the state governments from the Feil government. 2474 02:12:20.319 --> 02:12:23.399 They've then used the profits from these money laundering scams 2475 02:12:23.800 --> 02:12:28.520 to provide health insurance Medicaid for illegal immigrants, but also 2476 02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:31.119 to pay for things that have absolutely nothing to do 2477 02:12:31.239 --> 02:12:35.000 with healthcare to fund budget shortfalls in their own states. 2478 02:12:35.399 --> 02:12:38.000 And they're doing this on the backs of Medicaid. They're 2479 02:12:38.079 --> 02:12:41.600 literally using Medicaid to funnel federal money back to the 2480 02:12:41.680 --> 02:12:45.039 state to fund their budget fund their budget shortfalls. And 2481 02:12:45.199 --> 02:12:48.359 so Congress is looking right now at closing or at 2482 02:12:48.439 --> 02:12:52.800 least limiting some of those loopholes, But really I think 2483 02:12:52.880 --> 02:12:56.520 that they can go even even further than than what they're. 2484 02:12:56.359 --> 02:13:00.319 Doing well, And you know, it's sort of I wish 2485 02:13:00.399 --> 02:13:03.720 the American public who could listen to this particular interview 2486 02:13:03.800 --> 02:13:07.039 now or at least have the understanding that doctor Winfrey 2487 02:13:07.079 --> 02:13:10.960 here has, because then they would easily reject these screams 2488 02:13:11.039 --> 02:13:13.279 and wailing and gnashing of teeth about all these eight 2489 02:13:13.359 --> 02:13:15.760 million people are going to lose their medical benefits because 2490 02:13:15.760 --> 02:13:18.279 as you describe it, of course clearly they shouldn't have 2491 02:13:18.319 --> 02:13:20.359 them anyway. But the idea that this system has been 2492 02:13:20.479 --> 02:13:24.279 so upside down that it incentivizes treating the healthy people 2493 02:13:24.359 --> 02:13:27.560 to the exclusion of the original point of medicaid, I 2494 02:13:27.640 --> 02:13:30.079 think would rile people up and will be anger. 2495 02:13:32.119 --> 02:13:35.920 That's exactly right. The Congressional Budget Office just last week 2496 02:13:36.319 --> 02:13:39.079 put out a letter that said that if you reduced 2497 02:13:39.239 --> 02:13:42.640 the f MAP, or the amount of the federal contribution 2498 02:13:42.840 --> 02:13:46.119 for the healthy population down to the down to the 2499 02:13:46.199 --> 02:13:49.319 rate that the phligarment paced for the vulnerable population, it 2500 02:13:49.439 --> 02:13:53.640 will save about seventy one billion dollars a year. At 2501 02:13:53.680 --> 02:13:58.600 the same time, only about two million people will become uninsured. 2502 02:13:58.640 --> 02:14:02.039 Based on their estimates, If you divide the seventy one 2503 02:14:02.159 --> 02:14:06.239 billion by the two million, you get about thirty thousand 2504 02:14:06.319 --> 02:14:09.479 dollars a year that the federal government is paying to 2505 02:14:09.920 --> 02:14:14.399 ensure the marginal person on the Medicaid program, even though 2506 02:14:14.479 --> 02:14:17.039 the even though the federal government tells us that it 2507 02:14:17.319 --> 02:14:20.800 only costs about eight thousand dollars to ensure a person 2508 02:14:20.960 --> 02:14:24.479 on Medicaid. So one has to ask the question where 2509 02:14:24.600 --> 02:14:27.560 did the other twenty two thousand dollars go? And the 2510 02:14:27.680 --> 02:14:30.800 answer is that it's being channeled to the state governments 2511 02:14:30.960 --> 02:14:34.800 and the insurers and the hospitals, which is why those 2512 02:14:34.920 --> 02:14:37.920 groups are the ones that are actually panicking about what 2513 02:14:38.119 --> 02:14:40.920 Congress is doing right now and trying to incite a 2514 02:14:41.079 --> 02:14:45.119 riot in Washington, DC amongst the vulnerable Medicaid recipients. 2515 02:14:45.560 --> 02:14:48.479 I can only imagine the lobbying frenzy that's going on 2516 02:14:48.680 --> 02:14:51.039 right now in DC given this as a topic of 2517 02:14:51.159 --> 02:14:53.479 conversation with reconciliation. 2518 02:14:55.039 --> 02:14:57.800 It's absolutely incredible. And let me give you another just 2519 02:14:58.159 --> 02:15:02.279 a quick fact here that really surprised me when I 2520 02:15:02.359 --> 02:15:05.239 discovered it a couple of months ago, and that is 2521 02:15:05.760 --> 02:15:10.079 is that the highest compensated healthcare insurance CEO in the 2522 02:15:10.159 --> 02:15:16.720 country is a Medicaid managed care provider. He covers Medicaid recipients. 2523 02:15:16.800 --> 02:15:19.359 Eighty eight percent of his beneficiaries are on Medicaid, the 2524 02:15:19.520 --> 02:15:21.680 rest are on the other twelve percent are either on 2525 02:15:21.800 --> 02:15:27.119 Obamacare subsidized plans or Medicare advantage plan. They cover about 2526 02:15:27.239 --> 02:15:30.479 five point two million people in America. This is the 2527 02:15:30.600 --> 02:15:32.680 highest compensated health insurance CEO. 2528 02:15:32.600 --> 02:15:33.039 In the country. 2529 02:15:33.439 --> 02:15:36.399 And you know, like, I don't you want to speak 2530 02:15:36.439 --> 02:15:39.800 for other people, but I personally believe that, you know, 2531 02:15:39.880 --> 02:15:43.560 we shouldn't be creating a system where you can get 2532 02:15:43.720 --> 02:15:47.039 rich off of providing welfare to people, right, I think 2533 02:15:47.119 --> 02:15:51.239 that that's wrong, and also one in which one hundred 2534 02:15:51.239 --> 02:15:54.800 percent of your revenue is connected to the federal government. Right, Like, 2535 02:15:55.399 --> 02:15:57.840 we should, you know, we should have a better profit 2536 02:15:58.640 --> 02:16:01.840 motive for people who could make money by actually improving 2537 02:16:01.880 --> 02:16:03.760 people's lives and making them healthier. 2538 02:16:04.319 --> 02:16:06.319 Amen to that sounds like a lot of the problems 2539 02:16:06.359 --> 02:16:09.319 we're have with non governmental organizations just generally speaking. I mean, 2540 02:16:09.560 --> 02:16:11.720 they exist to create jobs for the people that work 2541 02:16:11.760 --> 02:16:14.640 within the organizations and taking federal taxpayer dollars and really 2542 02:16:15.000 --> 02:16:17.039 I think going out into the world and literally accomplishing 2543 02:16:17.119 --> 02:16:19.520 nothing except perhaps letting the money loop back a little 2544 02:16:19.520 --> 02:16:23.960 bit to line the pockets of politicians in DC. Bingo. 2545 02:16:24.039 --> 02:16:25.359 I mean, that's exactly right. 2546 02:16:25.439 --> 02:16:27.640 And you know, one of the things actually, you know, 2547 02:16:27.760 --> 02:16:30.239 that we've been talking to some of the Members of 2548 02:16:30.279 --> 02:16:34.479 Commerce about is that there's pretty good data on how 2549 02:16:34.799 --> 02:16:39.920 when you expand Medicaid and other welfare programs, democratic turnout 2550 02:16:40.159 --> 02:16:43.799 in democratic counties goes up. And the reason for that 2551 02:16:44.200 --> 02:16:50.200 is because the healthcare industrial and welfare industrial complex uses 2552 02:16:50.399 --> 02:16:54.040 these NGOs that are are that are far left in 2553 02:16:54.159 --> 02:16:58.120 many cases, like Planned Parenthood and others to help them 2554 02:16:58.200 --> 02:17:01.920 and enroll people. And then that gives those same NGO's 2555 02:17:02.120 --> 02:17:05.879 access to you know, names and addresses, which allows them 2556 02:17:05.959 --> 02:17:08.799 to go out and and increase turnout right and into 2557 02:17:08.840 --> 02:17:12.239 put into the harvest and uh and so you know, 2558 02:17:12.440 --> 02:17:15.840 by by expanding the welfare state, not only are we 2559 02:17:16.120 --> 02:17:20.079 creating a culture of dependency, but we're also creating a 2560 02:17:20.959 --> 02:17:24.719 culture that feeds one party, one political party over the other. 2561 02:17:24.840 --> 02:17:28.000 And that's intentional. They that's they they know that that's 2562 02:17:28.040 --> 02:17:28.600 what they're doing. 2563 02:17:30.799 --> 02:17:33.000 We are You didn't you didn't come looking for an 2564 02:17:33.079 --> 02:17:37.680 argument today, doctor Paul Winfrey. Unbelievable, so so revealing, and 2565 02:17:38.120 --> 02:17:40.840 so nefarious. If I can boil down this entire concept 2566 02:17:40.879 --> 02:17:42.799 of what's gone on and what's what's unfolded over the 2567 02:17:42.879 --> 02:17:46.639 years with Medicaid, EPIC, ep I CE, epic for America 2568 02:17:46.719 --> 02:17:49.360 dot org, really valuable website you've got going there, and 2569 02:17:49.399 --> 02:17:51.680 the work that you're doing there is just is so important. Doctor. 2570 02:17:52.280 --> 02:17:54.159 Thank you so much for spending time with my listeners 2571 02:17:54.200 --> 02:17:56.520 and enlightening them and me on the how bad this 2572 02:17:56.799 --> 02:17:58.559 is out there, and let's keep our fingers crossed and 2573 02:17:58.600 --> 02:18:02.120 we do get some reform passed, because this is a 2574 02:18:02.559 --> 02:18:04.280 this is a sinking ship round. This is just one 2575 02:18:04.360 --> 02:18:06.479 part of the of the budget and clearly we have 2576 02:18:06.920 --> 02:18:10.280 outspent ourselves to a degree that I think it's an 2577 02:18:10.319 --> 02:18:14.639 existential threat to our existence as a country. Thank you 2578 02:18:14.799 --> 02:18:16.600 very much for having me. I really appreciate it. It's 2579 02:18:16.639 --> 02:18:18.879 been my pleasure, sir. Thank you.

Jay Rattlift, Welcome back, my friend. I 2645 02:21:21.920 --> 02:21:23.120 always love having you on the show. 2646 02:21:24.120 --> 02:21:24.920 Highlight of my week. 2647 02:21:24.959 --> 02:21:28.520 Brother, I appreciate that so much, and it's not much 2648 02:21:28.520 --> 02:21:30.360 of a curveball. And I just want to talk to 2649 02:21:30.399 --> 02:21:33.120 you briefly, even though it's not on your list. The 2650 02:21:35.120 --> 02:21:37.799 jet that cutter is offering President Donald Trump to serve 2651 02:21:37.799 --> 02:21:40.040 as a new air Force one. I think the optics 2652 02:21:40.079 --> 02:21:42.440 of it look bad. Just don't even go down that road, 2653 02:21:42.639 --> 02:21:45.799 was my just initial reaction, the Democrats pulling their hair out, 2654 02:21:45.879 --> 02:21:48.680 saying it's a bribe or whatever. It's a violation of 2655 02:21:48.719 --> 02:21:52.000 the law. Anyway, it serves to give them some talking 2656 02:21:52.120 --> 02:21:55.239 point because they literally have nothing to talk about. But 2657 02:21:55.760 --> 02:21:58.639 it's not just that simple, because as I've read, according 2658 02:21:58.639 --> 02:22:01.760 to three aviation experts feed with nbcn IS, it would 2659 02:22:01.799 --> 02:22:04.360 cost more than a billion dollars and take years to 2660 02:22:04.520 --> 02:22:07.719 retrofit it. So this isn't exactly a great deal. 2661 02:22:07.760 --> 02:22:07.920 Is it. 2662 02:22:09.040 --> 02:22:09.479 It is not. 2663 02:22:09.760 --> 02:22:14.440 But you know, if President Trump, it's always about he 2664 02:22:14.479 --> 02:22:16.000 always gets from point A to point B. 2665 02:22:16.200 --> 02:22:18.399 We may not like how he gets there, but he doesn't. 2666 02:22:18.920 --> 02:22:20.920 And I always wonder if this, a lot like the 2667 02:22:20.959 --> 02:22:24.000 initial tariff talks, is designed for another purpose. 2668 02:22:24.719 --> 02:22:28.159 So I don't know if it's he doesn't have to negotiate. 2669 02:22:27.799 --> 02:22:29.799 With Boeing because all that's locked in as far as 2670 02:22:29.840 --> 02:22:33.120 what the government's paying for the next air Force one. 2671 02:22:33.799 --> 02:22:38.079 But it's been delayed, delayed, delayed, and well, I'll be 2672 02:22:38.120 --> 02:22:39.719 interested to see how far this progresses. 2673 02:22:40.600 --> 02:22:43.639 Well maybe that's the point. He knows about everything I 2674 02:22:43.799 --> 02:22:47.239 mentioned in optics and all of that. But maybe by saying, hey, listen, 2675 02:22:47.319 --> 02:22:49.079 I'm gonna get a brain, I'm gonna get a fairly 2676 02:22:49.159 --> 02:22:51.040 new airport right out of the gate. It's going to 2677 02:22:51.079 --> 02:22:54.760 be delivered. And by the way, Boeing, where's mine? I mean, 2678 02:22:54.799 --> 02:22:56.719 that thing's been in order for years and years and 2679 02:22:56.799 --> 02:22:58.000 it's not scheduled to be delivered. 2680 02:22:58.000 --> 02:23:01.120 And so what year Jay is like, I don't think 2681 02:23:01.159 --> 02:23:02.959 he'll I don't think he'll fly in it as president. 2682 02:23:03.559 --> 02:23:07.840 So he may get on it as he you know, 2683 02:23:08.399 --> 02:23:10.760 as he departs Washington, DC at the end of this term. 2684 02:23:11.000 --> 02:23:13.040 Maybe if he's lucky. I don't think they'll have it 2685 02:23:13.079 --> 02:23:18.159 ready by then, because the initial delivery time is one thing. 2686 02:23:18.319 --> 02:23:20.479 But this thing's been delayed so many times. I don't 2687 02:23:20.479 --> 02:23:22.959 believe anything Boeing says. I think it's gonna be delayed, 2688 02:23:23.280 --> 02:23:24.360 should be delayed even further. 2689 02:23:25.479 --> 02:23:28.040 Wow, you messing with the wrong customer. I would think 2690 02:23:28.079 --> 02:23:30.000 the President of the United States of America, regardless of 2691 02:23:30.000 --> 02:23:32.079 what political stripe he bears. If you're just if you're 2692 02:23:32.120 --> 02:23:35.040 not delivering on something that's been ordered forever, you'd think 2693 02:23:35.079 --> 02:23:38.079 that they would allocate the necessary resources to at least 2694 02:23:38.120 --> 02:23:40.799 getting that project done and moved ahead. Just because the 2695 02:23:40.879 --> 02:23:43.040 optics are so bad given everything else that's going on 2696 02:23:43.159 --> 02:23:43.719 with the company. 2697 02:23:44.239 --> 02:23:46.040 Well, you know, if you're if you're gonna be late 2698 02:23:46.319 --> 02:23:49.719 delivering aircraft to Ryan Air in Europe, that may fly 2699 02:23:49.840 --> 02:23:52.040 under the radar here. Yeah, if you're going to be 2700 02:23:52.440 --> 02:23:56.200 late in delivering air Force air Force one excuse me, 2701 02:23:56.600 --> 02:23:58.959 I think somebody's gonna notice. So you're right, that should 2702 02:23:58.959 --> 02:23:59.559 be a priority. 2703 02:23:59.680 --> 02:24:01.879 Yeah, you think the board of directors would recognize that 2704 02:24:01.879 --> 02:24:04.559 as a priority since it makes the news fairly regularly, 2705 02:24:04.639 --> 02:24:06.440 and now even more so. Going back to your point 2706 02:24:06.479 --> 02:24:08.559 of reason, maybe why he wants to accept the plane 2707 02:24:08.639 --> 02:24:12.719 is this elevates everybody's attention to it. In the context 2708 02:24:12.760 --> 02:24:15.680 of this conversation, you know, the American population might be saying, hey, 2709 02:24:15.920 --> 02:24:18.760 why don't you buy it from an American Manufacturer's like, well, 2710 02:24:18.760 --> 02:24:20.600 we've been trying to do that now for the past 2711 02:24:20.719 --> 02:24:23.920 fifteen years. But they're not delivering right. 2712 02:24:24.040 --> 02:24:26.680 And it also makes the people that are jump backing 2713 02:24:26.760 --> 02:24:29.120 up and down on the other side, nipping at his heels, yeah, 2714 02:24:29.399 --> 02:24:31.760 look even more full. It's like when Sean Duffy, the 2715 02:24:31.799 --> 02:24:37.280 Transportation Secretary, had his wife's upcoming flight adjusted, or she's 2716 02:24:37.319 --> 02:24:40.399 gonna be flying out of JFK instead of Newark because 2717 02:24:40.479 --> 02:24:41.479 there's a lot of delays. 2718 02:24:41.559 --> 02:24:43.040 She's going to a conference. He wants her to be 2719 02:24:43.120 --> 02:24:43.440 on time. 2720 02:24:44.040 --> 02:24:47.200 But the minute that happens, it's a matter of, well, 2721 02:24:47.239 --> 02:24:49.319 you did that because it's not safe to fly out 2722 02:24:49.360 --> 02:24:51.440 of Newark. That's not safe to fly out of Newark 2723 02:24:51.520 --> 02:24:54.559 because what President Trump has done in the last one 2724 02:24:54.639 --> 02:24:58.799 hundred days. And of course that's ridiculous. Everybody, well most 2725 02:24:58.920 --> 02:25:01.840 everybody recognized is that. But Brian, I mean, I've been 2726 02:25:01.840 --> 02:25:04.639 getting emails from people all over the country ever since 2727 02:25:04.719 --> 02:25:07.239 this mess started saying, Jay, would you go through Newark? 2728 02:25:07.399 --> 02:25:09.040 And I said no, not if I could avoid it, 2729 02:25:09.559 --> 02:25:11.879 And so all he did was a just things as 2730 02:25:11.920 --> 02:25:14.799 you and I would. It's a lot like, Okay, it's January, 2731 02:25:15.079 --> 02:25:17.399 I'm flying United. Am I going to connect through Chicago 2732 02:25:17.959 --> 02:25:20.959 for Houston? I think I'll choose Houston because we know 2733 02:25:21.040 --> 02:25:23.879 what happens in Chicago in the month of January. So 2734 02:25:24.799 --> 02:25:28.639 when they make these ridiculous arguments, it's like, that's really 2735 02:25:28.719 --> 02:25:31.239 what you want to jump up and down on. That's 2736 02:25:31.319 --> 02:25:33.760 the point you're going to try to make to make 2737 02:25:33.799 --> 02:25:38.799 yourself look I don't know better politically, it's stupidity, and 2738 02:25:38.879 --> 02:25:42.000 I did. I just don't get well. I'm glad I 2739 02:25:42.040 --> 02:25:43.680 don't get it because you and I don't think that way. 2740 02:25:43.799 --> 02:25:45.319 Well, we don't think that way. We try to stay 2741 02:25:45.319 --> 02:25:48.319 a little bit closer updated on the actual realities that 2742 02:25:48.440 --> 02:25:50.120 we're dealing with day in and day out, rather than 2743 02:25:50.200 --> 02:25:54.200 just clinging to some ridiculous SoundBite it's not based on facts. 2744 02:25:54.639 --> 02:25:57.040 Let's bring Jay Ratliffe back. We will talk about the 2745 02:25:57.159 --> 02:25:59.399 outage at Newark, which seems to be happen more often, 2746 02:26:00.760 --> 02:26:04.719 getting parts from eBay more with Jay alive. After these 2747 02:26:04.760 --> 02:26:06.920 brief words up, you can stick around fifty five. 2748 02:26:07.159 --> 02:26:09.239 Krc's had a number of surgeries. 2749 02:26:09.280 --> 02:26:11.719 He's all right. I heard media aviation expert. We get 2750 02:26:11.760 --> 02:26:14.879 him every Thursday between eight thirty and the close of 2751 02:26:14.879 --> 02:26:17.719 the show, and it's an enjoyable experience for me. I 2752 02:26:17.799 --> 02:26:20.000 know my listeners enjoy hearing from you. Jay and maybe 2753 02:26:20.079 --> 02:26:22.559 you can explain what the hell is going on at 2754 02:26:22.680 --> 02:26:25.200 Newark Airport. I was laughing because he said, would you 2755 02:26:25.239 --> 02:26:27.360 want to would you want to fly through Newark and 2756 02:26:28.159 --> 02:26:30.239 or you know, layover in Newark? And I think my 2757 02:26:30.319 --> 02:26:33.200 initial reaction, regardless of the status of the air traffic 2758 02:26:33.239 --> 02:26:35.399 control system, will we know right out of the gate, 2759 02:26:35.559 --> 02:26:37.479 I don't want to go to Newark for any reason. 2760 02:26:37.600 --> 02:26:41.040 But most notably they have made the news regularly lately 2761 02:26:41.159 --> 02:26:43.879 with their with the outages. So what's the story behind 2762 02:26:43.920 --> 02:26:44.559 this one, Jay. 2763 02:26:44.680 --> 02:26:47.079 Well, we've got a couple of different issues. It's a 2764 02:26:47.159 --> 02:26:50.559 technology issue as well as a staffing issue. And what 2765 02:26:50.639 --> 02:26:52.840 we've seen in the last two weeks or three occasions 2766 02:26:52.920 --> 02:26:58.000 were the FAA technology for tracking aircraft, which of course 2767 02:26:58.040 --> 02:27:02.200 we've talked about how antiquated fast century plus that technology is. 2768 02:27:02.760 --> 02:27:03.520 Where we've had. 2769 02:27:03.879 --> 02:27:06.719 Three instances in two weeks. The first two were primary 2770 02:27:06.799 --> 02:27:11.559 systems that failed that actually caused the scopes, the radar screens, 2771 02:27:12.000 --> 02:27:15.920 to go blank. You could not see the air traffic 2772 02:27:16.079 --> 02:27:19.040 that you were managing. You could fortunately then speak to them, 2773 02:27:19.079 --> 02:27:23.120 which was good because you could at least still communicate. 2774 02:27:23.559 --> 02:27:26.399 The second instance, that happened on Sunday morning, was a 2775 02:27:26.639 --> 02:27:29.360 backup or secondary system that failed. And that's my biggest 2776 02:27:29.399 --> 02:27:31.879 concern is like, wait a minute. Now, we've got the 2777 02:27:31.959 --> 02:27:35.799 primary and the secondary systems that are being effected. And 2778 02:27:35.920 --> 02:27:39.319 what's happening is this technology that is so old it's 2779 02:27:39.559 --> 02:27:43.959 simply just wearing down. It just cannot withstand the demands 2780 02:27:44.000 --> 02:27:46.200 that are being placed on it. So what we're seeing 2781 02:27:46.319 --> 02:27:48.479 is the same system which is used across the country. 2782 02:27:48.520 --> 02:27:50.959 I look at Newark as an indication of this is 2783 02:27:51.079 --> 02:27:53.799 just the beginning. We could see other types of situations 2784 02:27:53.959 --> 02:27:57.479 like this occur, and that is certainly something that's an issue. 2785 02:27:57.520 --> 02:27:57.639 Now. 2786 02:27:57.879 --> 02:27:59.680 The question I get is, Jade, does that mean it 2787 02:27:59.840 --> 02:28:01.719 is unsafe for us if we're going to be flying 2788 02:28:01.760 --> 02:28:04.239 in that part of the country. Now, the FAA is 2789 02:28:04.319 --> 02:28:07.559 doing a very good job from a traffic management standpoint, 2790 02:28:08.000 --> 02:28:12.000 where they keep the number of aircraft headed into a 2791 02:28:12.079 --> 02:28:16.280 certain region, especially that congested Northeast, limited to a certain number. 2792 02:28:16.440 --> 02:28:19.440 If they start to have issues with technology, they slow 2793 02:28:19.520 --> 02:28:24.520 that down. We have frequent ground stops in cities like Cincinnati, Columbus. 2794 02:28:24.079 --> 02:28:26.399 Chicago, anything headed towards the Northeast. 2795 02:28:26.440 --> 02:28:29.319 If there's an issue, they'll issue a groundstop and say no, 2796 02:28:29.440 --> 02:28:32.479 your plane can't take off until this time because we're 2797 02:28:32.520 --> 02:28:35.440 only managing a certain number of aircraft in this vicinity 2798 02:28:36.040 --> 02:28:38.239 in this timeframe. So I think they do a pretty 2799 02:28:38.239 --> 02:28:42.120 good job of managing it. So it's something that their 2800 02:28:42.159 --> 02:28:45.879 controllers do not get overwhelmed with. Obviously, you want them 2801 02:28:45.920 --> 02:28:50.520 to have the technology working, because look, we're forty air 2802 02:28:50.559 --> 02:28:54.239 traffic controllers short in Newark at this point in time 2803 02:28:54.319 --> 02:28:57.760 that part of the country, and what's taken place is 2804 02:28:57.879 --> 02:29:01.319 three thousand air traffic controllers short across the country. So 2805 02:29:01.680 --> 02:29:04.239 you have air traffic controllers that are working over time 2806 02:29:04.319 --> 02:29:07.399 because they are short staff, and you have a situation 2807 02:29:07.559 --> 02:29:11.120 where they don't they can't count on their technology because 2808 02:29:11.120 --> 02:29:14.000 it's failing, and you have a lot of these individuals 2809 02:29:14.040 --> 02:29:15.520 that are just saying, look, I'm going to go get 2810 02:29:15.520 --> 02:29:19.559 a less stressful job, like you know, bomb detection or something, 2811 02:29:19.680 --> 02:29:22.440 because this is just if we've had five of them 2812 02:29:22.479 --> 02:29:24.399 that had to take a leave of absence because of 2813 02:29:24.799 --> 02:29:28.120 the emotional distress that they had when they lost contact 2814 02:29:28.159 --> 02:29:31.079 with their aircraft for ninety seconds. Now, sometimes I would 2815 02:29:31.120 --> 02:29:32.959 be like, oh, not come up, but what these men 2816 02:29:33.040 --> 02:29:36.159 and women are going through, I totally understand that where 2817 02:29:36.159 --> 02:29:38.879 they're taking a forty five day leave of absence and 2818 02:29:39.000 --> 02:29:41.799 going from there. The problem, of course, Brian, is neither 2819 02:29:41.799 --> 02:29:45.479 of those two systems are two issues with the shortage 2820 02:29:45.479 --> 02:29:48.520 of air traffic controllers or technology is anything we can 2821 02:29:48.600 --> 02:29:51.520 fix fast. In other words, it's going to take years 2822 02:29:51.680 --> 02:29:54.680 for us to get the technology updated. Thank god President 2823 02:29:54.719 --> 02:29:58.680 Trump has made this an item of priority. And if 2824 02:29:58.719 --> 02:30:02.200 we have a Manhattan Project kind of approach, all hands 2825 02:30:02.280 --> 02:30:04.000 on deck, we can knock it out maybe two years. 2826 02:30:04.120 --> 02:30:07.000 That's great staffing. It's going to take years for the 2827 02:30:07.120 --> 02:30:09.680 staffing to get up where it needs to be, which 2828 02:30:09.760 --> 02:30:12.600 means neither of these situations are going to be resolved 2829 02:30:12.639 --> 02:30:15.559 anytime soon. And when Sean Duffy comes out as the 2830 02:30:16.399 --> 02:30:19.520 Transfer taking Secretary saying that some of these parts are 2831 02:30:19.600 --> 02:30:22.399 so old from the last century that they have to 2832 02:30:22.520 --> 02:30:25.879 go to eBay to buy the parts for the FAA, 2833 02:30:26.440 --> 02:30:28.760 if that doesn't tell you what we're up against, I 2834 02:30:28.840 --> 02:30:31.760 don't know. That's terrifying and scary at the same time, 2835 02:30:31.840 --> 02:30:34.840 because it's one thing to find people qualified to still 2836 02:30:34.920 --> 02:30:37.399 work on equipment from the seventies and eighties and nineties, 2837 02:30:37.920 --> 02:30:41.840 but to find parts on eBay to do so again. 2838 02:30:42.040 --> 02:30:45.159 Thank God, President Trump's doing something because all these useless 2839 02:30:45.280 --> 02:30:47.399 people in Washington, d C, on both sides of the 2840 02:30:47.479 --> 02:30:50.680 aisle that want to use this as a political ping 2841 02:30:50.799 --> 02:30:53.680 pong ball. Excuse me, you've been in DC for forty 2842 02:30:53.840 --> 02:30:56.760 fifty years, thirty years, twelve, and you've done nothing to 2843 02:30:56.840 --> 02:30:59.399 address this FAA issue, which we've known it was coming. 2844 02:30:59.840 --> 02:31:01.520 But the idea is, it's a lot easier to give 2845 02:31:01.559 --> 02:31:03.159 money for a bridge where I can get my picture 2846 02:31:03.239 --> 02:31:06.399 taken versus spending it on something boring like the FAA's 2847 02:31:06.479 --> 02:31:10.440 upgraded computer system. We've waited too long and we're behind 2848 02:31:10.479 --> 02:31:12.200 the eight ball, and we've got to do a lot, 2849 02:31:12.360 --> 02:31:14.120 and I'm glad President Trump's at the helm to. 2850 02:31:14.120 --> 02:31:14.840 Do something about it. 2851 02:31:14.959 --> 02:31:17.239 Well, when you talk about getting parts off EVA, that's 2852 02:31:17.280 --> 02:31:20.719 because no one manufactures the type of equipment that these 2853 02:31:20.799 --> 02:31:23.719 computers are relying on, Like, for example, I think I 2854 02:31:23.879 --> 02:31:26.440 jokingly reference five and a quarter floppy drives with you, 2855 02:31:26.520 --> 02:31:29.319 but that sounds to me exactly like what they're using. 2856 02:31:30.079 --> 02:31:32.040 Yeah, it's like trying to find a part from my 2857 02:31:32.159 --> 02:31:34.840 Radio Shack computer from nineteen ninety six. 2858 02:31:35.079 --> 02:31:37.479 Realistic, where's it going to be? 2859 02:31:37.719 --> 02:31:39.760 I mean, you know, nobody's going to stock that part 2860 02:31:39.799 --> 02:31:41.920 because one person every three years is going to buy it, 2861 02:31:42.479 --> 02:31:45.239 and that's what they're running into. And some people thought 2862 02:31:45.799 --> 02:31:49.360 Sean Duffy was making a joke. He's like, no, I'm serious. 2863 02:31:50.040 --> 02:31:51.520 These are the ends that we have to go to 2864 02:31:51.680 --> 02:31:55.319 to try to keep this stuff working. And I've seen 2865 02:31:55.360 --> 02:31:59.200 some of these computers that overheat frequently that are part 2866 02:31:59.239 --> 02:32:01.239 of the air traffic contro system where they have to 2867 02:32:01.319 --> 02:32:04.319 open up the back panels and put fans there they 2868 02:32:04.399 --> 02:32:07.840 try to keep them cool from overheating. And I'm thinking 2869 02:32:08.520 --> 02:32:10.559 we've had their traffic controllers have to have an umbrella 2870 02:32:10.559 --> 02:32:13.319 at their desk inside the Why because it leaks at 2871 02:32:13.360 --> 02:32:15.399 the ceiling. I'm trying to keep water off of my computer. 2872 02:32:16.120 --> 02:32:18.479 Look at all of these different things that they have 2873 02:32:18.639 --> 02:32:19.159 to deal with. 2874 02:32:19.639 --> 02:32:19.840 Why. 2875 02:32:20.040 --> 02:32:22.559 Oh, by the way, we're supposed to have fourteen people 2876 02:32:22.600 --> 02:32:24.600 on duty. We can only have three, four or five. 2877 02:32:26.879 --> 02:32:29.520 It's just an emotional mess right now with what they're 2878 02:32:29.559 --> 02:32:34.559 going through. And again, the people that politically are saying, 2879 02:32:34.600 --> 02:32:37.319 you know, Donald Trump has all these issues. No, We've 2880 02:32:37.360 --> 02:32:39.879 had issues like this for a number of decades. And 2881 02:32:39.959 --> 02:32:43.200 I blame both sides of the aisle because it's been 2882 02:32:43.239 --> 02:32:46.239 a joint effort that's in essence ignored what the FA 2883 02:32:46.319 --> 02:32:49.040 has needed all these years. It reminds me of let's say, 2884 02:32:49.079 --> 02:32:51.120 social security and some of these other things that they 2885 02:32:51.239 --> 02:32:54.040 just don't want to touch. And you know, there're gonna 2886 02:32:54.040 --> 02:32:56.079 spend more time seeing that they can blame versus trying 2887 02:32:56.120 --> 02:32:56.879 to fix the problem. 2888 02:32:57.040 --> 02:32:59.559 Well, if there were more air traffic accidents and more 2889 02:32:59.639 --> 02:33:01.959 loss of lives than it would have been elevated their attention. 2890 02:33:02.040 --> 02:33:03.760 I think they figured, as long as it's working, there 2891 02:33:03.799 --> 02:33:06.280 are thousands of flights every single day, and nothing seems 2892 02:33:06.280 --> 02:33:08.479 to be happening, so status quo is a okay. 2893 02:33:09.479 --> 02:33:12.000 And that is such a great, great point because yes, 2894 02:33:12.079 --> 02:33:15.639 we were enjoying the safest era of commercial jet travel 2895 02:33:15.719 --> 02:33:18.639 in as long as it's working. Why invest hundreds of 2896 02:33:19.319 --> 02:33:22.920 billions of dollars in something when something's working? And that's 2897 02:33:23.040 --> 02:33:26.479 exactly the mindset these people have. The bridge hasn't collapsed, so. 2898 02:33:26.520 --> 02:33:28.079 What do we need to spend money to rebuild it? 2899 02:33:28.200 --> 02:33:28.440 Yees? 2900 02:33:29.360 --> 02:33:31.120 You know, And that's why I'm glad that you're right 2901 02:33:31.200 --> 02:33:33.000 down the middle on things. You call it the way 2902 02:33:33.040 --> 02:33:36.079 you see it, because both sides of the aisle are 2903 02:33:36.399 --> 02:33:37.159 guilty in this. 2904 02:33:37.399 --> 02:33:38.639 They should be held accountable. 2905 02:33:39.200 --> 02:33:41.719 But I think it's been half the energy that they 2906 02:33:41.799 --> 02:33:44.200 spend pointing fingers and actually get some work done on 2907 02:33:44.399 --> 02:33:47.000 all the things are there for I'd feel so much better. 2908 02:33:47.120 --> 02:33:51.840 Oh my god, wouldn't the world be a much better place? Jeez? Anyway, Jay, 2909 02:33:51.959 --> 02:33:54.680 now you talk about air traffics and controllers. Now, if 2910 02:33:54.760 --> 02:33:57.360 I were to go today and enroll in air traffic 2911 02:33:57.440 --> 02:33:59.879 control school, they're going to be training me on how 2912 02:34:00.200 --> 02:34:02.959 work equipment that's fifty years old. That I mean, that's 2913 02:34:03.000 --> 02:34:05.840 kind of be a fact of the current situation, right yep. 2914 02:34:05.959 --> 02:34:07.399 And we only have so many we can do. 2915 02:34:08.079 --> 02:34:12.040 We can we can comfortably get fifteen hundred to two 2916 02:34:12.040 --> 02:34:15.120 thousand through at a time. Last year, the FAA had 2917 02:34:15.120 --> 02:34:17.600 a goal for the whole year of hiring fifteen hundred 2918 02:34:17.639 --> 02:34:21.120 air traffic controllers. They did that by September first. I 2919 02:34:21.239 --> 02:34:23.319 was bragging on a big time by hitting their goal. 2920 02:34:23.440 --> 02:34:26.600 Early this year, they were hoping to get two thousand hired. 2921 02:34:26.840 --> 02:34:28.840 But look, only a portion of those make it through 2922 02:34:29.319 --> 02:34:33.319 the training, and it could be three years, four years 2923 02:34:33.440 --> 02:34:36.639 or even longer before you're final fully trained at your 2924 02:34:36.680 --> 02:34:38.120 post by yourself. 2925 02:34:37.799 --> 02:34:38.360 Doing your job. 2926 02:34:38.719 --> 02:34:40.840 Let's the equivalent of getting a four year degree to college. 2927 02:34:40.920 --> 02:34:44.000 Then that's why you can't turn the spiket on and 2928 02:34:44.319 --> 02:34:48.079 inspect immediate results here because all this stuff takes time. 2929 02:34:48.280 --> 02:34:50.719 And the fa does a good job of training these people, 2930 02:34:51.000 --> 02:34:52.840 but it takes a while to get them there. So 2931 02:34:53.520 --> 02:34:55.840 that's why when you look at all of this, it's 2932 02:34:55.959 --> 02:34:57.600 like you and I are going to be talking about 2933 02:34:57.600 --> 02:35:00.760 Newark and the FAA and all this stuff a whole 2934 02:35:00.840 --> 02:35:03.200 lot more as we move forward, because we're going to 2935 02:35:03.239 --> 02:35:05.600 see other computers around the country that are going to 2936 02:35:05.639 --> 02:35:08.120 start experiencing some of these similar. 2937 02:35:07.879 --> 02:35:08.440 Kinds of issues. 2938 02:35:08.479 --> 02:35:10.840 We've already seen them in the past, but this is 2939 02:35:11.399 --> 02:35:14.120 three currencies in a couple of weeks, and it's in 2940 02:35:14.200 --> 02:35:17.280 a point part of the country that's incredibly congested, and 2941 02:35:17.719 --> 02:35:20.280 it's become a major talking point for all the obvious reasons. 2942 02:35:20.360 --> 02:35:22.159 Well, I just hope it doesn't turn into a major 2943 02:35:22.200 --> 02:35:27.479 talking about a point about loss of life. Well, is 2944 02:35:27.559 --> 02:35:29.920 it real quick here on air traffic control? Is it 2945 02:35:29.959 --> 02:35:32.799 a lucrative profession? Is it something that's worth pursuing as 2946 02:35:32.840 --> 02:35:33.319 an endeavor? 2947 02:35:33.399 --> 02:35:35.040 I mean, some of these people one. 2948 02:35:35.040 --> 02:35:38.040 Hundred and fifty grand a year, sometimes more, sometimes less, 2949 02:35:38.319 --> 02:35:39.600 especially with some of the ones that are. 2950 02:35:39.520 --> 02:35:40.719 Working over time at this point. 2951 02:35:40.840 --> 02:35:43.920 Yeah, but you remember coming out of the pandemic, how 2952 02:35:43.959 --> 02:35:47.200 we had a lot of people that adjusted their entire 2953 02:35:47.399 --> 02:35:50.399 mindset on work. It was like, I'm working three jobs 2954 02:35:50.479 --> 02:35:52.760 to do this, I'm only going to work too, or 2955 02:35:52.799 --> 02:35:56.399 I'm busting my butt working two jobs for my quality 2956 02:35:56.479 --> 02:35:58.280 of life's sake, I'm only going to have one. We 2957 02:35:58.440 --> 02:36:03.120 see pilots that could qualify to become captains that turn 2958 02:36:03.200 --> 02:36:06.520 it down because they like the first officer. They like 2959 02:36:06.559 --> 02:36:09.239 their seniority where they can call the shots. If I 2960 02:36:09.319 --> 02:36:11.520 get promoted and I'm sitting in the left seat when 2961 02:36:11.520 --> 02:36:13.239 I'm at the bottom of the list and I can't 2962 02:36:13.360 --> 02:36:16.399 have that much control over my schedule, yeah, I would 2963 02:36:16.399 --> 02:36:19.280 get paid more, but I control my life more in 2964 02:36:19.360 --> 02:36:22.239 this situation. And these air traffic controllers, it's the same 2965 02:36:22.280 --> 02:36:26.000 thing when they get there and they're saying, I'm going 2966 02:36:26.079 --> 02:36:28.520 through so much for this when I could be happier 2967 02:36:28.639 --> 02:36:31.319 doing something else, and all of that stuff not all, 2968 02:36:31.399 --> 02:36:34.280 but a great deal of it is stuff that we 2969 02:36:35.120 --> 02:36:39.079 shove on them because we're giving them tools that they 2970 02:36:39.159 --> 02:36:41.559 can't depend on, and we're asking them to do the 2971 02:36:41.680 --> 02:36:45.159 job of several people because we can't keep everything staffed 2972 02:36:45.639 --> 02:36:47.719 as we should. And a lot of these people are 2973 02:36:47.760 --> 02:36:49.719 just saying I've had it in a way they go 2974 02:36:49.840 --> 02:36:52.440 and Brian, I can't blame them, because if every single 2975 02:36:52.559 --> 02:36:55.959 day you're in charge of the safeguarding the lives of 2976 02:36:56.319 --> 02:36:59.200 people that are you know that you're helping to facilitate 2977 02:36:59.239 --> 02:37:02.879 the movement of those aircraft. There's no room for margin 2978 02:37:03.159 --> 02:37:05.319 as far as for safety. You've got to jump in 2979 02:37:05.399 --> 02:37:07.000 there and do your job, and everything has to work 2980 02:37:07.040 --> 02:37:09.399 as it's supposed to, and you're worried every day is 2981 02:37:09.440 --> 02:37:11.159 it really gonna work? Am I gonna be able to 2982 02:37:11.159 --> 02:37:13.600 get through my shift without a problem? And you know 2983 02:37:14.079 --> 02:37:15.319 that's certainly a concern. 2984 02:37:16.120 --> 02:37:19.280 Well, all right, well, we always part company on hub delays. 2985 02:37:19.440 --> 02:37:21.879 So what's the status today for air traffic. 2986 02:37:22.399 --> 02:37:24.520 I think Minneapolis is gonna be the only problem shot, 2987 02:37:24.600 --> 02:37:26.479 and I think it's gonna be kind of a glancing blow, 2988 02:37:26.559 --> 02:37:28.719 so we might see delays at most it might approach 2989 02:37:28.760 --> 02:37:30.159 an hour, but that's pretty much. 2990 02:37:30.200 --> 02:37:30.360 Yep. 2991 02:37:30.399 --> 02:37:33.319 We've got these afternoon thunderstorms which can pop up anywhere, 2992 02:37:33.799 --> 02:37:36.120 which goes to show why Sharry and I when we fly, 2993 02:37:36.360 --> 02:37:38.600 we catch the first flight out in the morning because 2994 02:37:38.680 --> 02:37:41.360 a that's the flight. Airlines concentrate on the most to 2995 02:37:41.399 --> 02:37:41.920 get it out on. 2996 02:37:42.000 --> 02:37:43.360 Time, so your odds go up. 2997 02:37:43.760 --> 02:37:46.799 And to these afternoon thunderstorms that can pop up any 2998 02:37:46.799 --> 02:37:49.799 of the where, that really create a lot of afternoon. 2999 02:37:49.399 --> 02:37:50.360 Messes and delays. 3000 02:37:51.159 --> 02:37:53.319 You know you've got your bags out of baggage claim, 3001 02:37:53.360 --> 02:37:55.680 you're driving to your destination long before those things hit 3002 02:37:55.719 --> 02:37:56.920 if you fly out early in the morning. 3003 02:37:56.959 --> 02:37:59.239 I'm not telling people to do that. I'm just explaining 3004 02:37:59.280 --> 02:37:59.920 why we do that. 3005 02:38:00.360 --> 02:38:04.440 Fair enough, Jay, Always appreciate your our conversations and enlightening 3006 02:38:04.559 --> 02:38:07.879 and in today slightly scary, but got to get the 3007 02:38:07.959 --> 02:38:11.079 info out there. And uh and let's spread the truth 3008 02:38:11.120 --> 02:38:12.920 about all these things. I'll look forward to next Thursday, 3009 02:38:12.920 --> 02:38:16.719 another edition of this aviation segment. You have a wonderful weekend, 3010 02:38:16.879 --> 02:38:17.639 my friend. 3011 02:38:18.360 --> 02:38:20.159 And looking forward to next week. This has got to 3012 02:38:20.159 --> 02:38:22.520 be the fastest twenty minutes of my week. To be sure, 3013 02:38:22.559 --> 02:38:24.879 it seems like six Yah. 3014 02:38:24.840 --> 02:38:27.760 You too, I love it. Eight fifty one fifty five 3015 02:38:27.840 --> 02:38:28.799 KRC detalk stations. 3016 02:38:28.840 --> 02:38:31.079 I'll be right back fifty five KRC. 3017 02:38:31.520 --> 02:38:33.159 Did you hear a recent stat
