Speaker 1: in the studio coming up at seven o five, followed
Speaker 1: by Tim Keller, founder of US Diabetes Care. He'll be
Speaker 1: talking about educating the public about ending the diabetes epidemic
Speaker 1: in America. And it is send you adults with chronic conditions,
Speaker 1: including diabetes. We got a real problem with hypertension and
Speaker 1: obesity in this country. Interesting timing on this headline for
Speaker 1: the Wall Street General. How chronic disease become became the
Speaker 1: biggest scourge in American health. Americans live shorter and sicker
Speaker 1: lives than people in other high income countries. Hypertension number one.
Speaker 1: Percentage of adults with hypertension just under fifty percent, Obesity
Speaker 1: a little bit north of forty percent. This is the
Speaker 1: entire US population the adult population, diabetes coming into number third.
Speaker 1: About fifteen percent of the nation's adults have diabetes. Kidney
Speaker 1: disease right behind it, just by a tiny little bit
Speaker 1: asthma about eight percent, and then COPD looks like about
Speaker 1: five or six percent. So we're in a sorry state
Speaker 1: of affairs when it comes to our health. And you know,
Speaker 1: cheers the RFK Junior for trying to bring it all
Speaker 1: to our attention. You know, again, I've talked mentioned many times.
Speaker 1: I was really happy that he got that appointment because
Speaker 1: he's not going to touch the crazy stuff that he
Speaker 1: believes in, like, for example, the Green New Deal crap,
Speaker 1: which I'm going to touch on just here in a second.
Speaker 1: So following Tim Keller from US Diabetes Care, we'll hear
Speaker 1: from doctor Paul Winfrey, CEO Economic Policy Innovation Center on
Speaker 1: Medicaid reform. He happens to be a former White House
Speaker 1: Budget Director. And then, of course it being Friday Eve,
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe. I heard me the Aviation Expert at eight
Speaker 1: thirty every Thursday, and I certainly enjoy talking to Jay Ratliffe.
Speaker 1: Also enjoy talking to you. If you can, feel free
Speaker 1: to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phone, and a shout out
Speaker 1: to Jenny, who sent me an email after my conversation
Speaker 1: yesterday with Judge Hannona Paulaitano, who is a massive Pete
Speaker 1: Rose fan, and I know they had that big celebration
Speaker 1: last night. She agrees with me, least in so far
Speaker 1: as my view of his violation of the cardinal rule
Speaker 1: of baseball, which he knew well, he knew about well
Speaker 1: in advance, then his repeated lies to all of his
Speaker 1: fans that he never bet at all on sports, and
Speaker 1: then never bet on baseball. Oh then I did bet
Speaker 1: on baseball, but I never bet on the Reds. And
Speaker 1: then oh yeah, I did bet on the Reds, but
Speaker 1: I never bet against him. Okay, I know he's one
Speaker 1: of the greatest, if not the greatest game player in
Speaker 1: the game of baseball of all time. Statistics do not lie.
Speaker 1: I watched him play. I know all that. But you know,
Speaker 1: gotta be consequences for violating the rules anyhow. But thank you, Jenny.
Speaker 1: She sent me an in some message on Facebook saying,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. So I just wanted to nothing
Speaker 1: not alone anyway five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight two three Talk Time five fifty
Speaker 1: on eighteen de funes. Care to call a comment, I'd
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. I enjoyed talking with the listeners.
Speaker 1: I really do. Judge Nita Polatano yesterday you can hear
Speaker 1: Congressman Massi preceding Judge Nita Politano and mostly the Budget
Speaker 1: Reconciliation Bill, and they're still arguing over that, which is
Speaker 1: why I'm glad we got the uh uh, the Economic
Speaker 1: and Policy Innovation Center guide doctor Paul Win for you
Speaker 1: on talk about Medicaid reform, because the Left is just
Speaker 1: nuts on this one. Oh my god, they're going to
Speaker 1: take medicare away from millions of America. We're talking about
Speaker 1: able body, working age people they should be working. Got almighty.
Speaker 1: That's it, really, I mean, it doesn't really cut that
Speaker 1: much out. It's just that, dude, you use the job
Speaker 1: opportunities out here, and we're only asking to work twenty
Speaker 1: hours a week, work twenty hours a week. Put that work,
Speaker 1: make that effort toward getting a career in the trades. Look,
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands and thousands of trade jobs are out there.
Speaker 1: And available waiting to be filled. People from the industries
Speaker 1: are out going into high schools and hiring juniors in
Speaker 1: high schools to work for them. Another article just was
Speaker 1: several days ago, if not when we last week, was
Speaker 1: within the last week, talking about that kid out of
Speaker 1: high school starting hitting the ground running at seventy thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year, because as the company went into the
Speaker 1: school and started soliciting young people to work for them,
Speaker 1: get him interested in the trades. Hey, look, you know
Speaker 1: you can be an electrician. I'd love to have you
Speaker 1: working at my company. Let's start you on the right path.
Speaker 1: You're in shop class. Great, that's the kind of people
Speaker 1: we're looking for. So you know, there's all these able
Speaker 1: bodied people out in the world. And they're also removing
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants from the medicaid roles or medicaid availability, which
Speaker 1: is good. And you know, Gavin Newsom's wanting to run
Speaker 1: for president because he just now has proposed to freeze
Speaker 1: on allowing adult illegal immigrants to join California's medicaid program.
Speaker 1: Oh why, because it's wildly popular in California's found itself
Speaker 1: in a twelve billion dollar budget hole. Got to find
Speaker 1: the money somewhere, don't you. Let's not give it to
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. They're straining the system. It's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why the open borders created a massive problem for
Speaker 1: our economy and for local school districts and everything else
Speaker 1: that they flooded. It's one of the areas the Democrats
Speaker 1: are on the wrong side of the Ledger politically. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's why they're failing so bad. And I can pivot
Speaker 1: over to this given the amount of time I have
Speaker 1: left in the segment. Joe Biden is obviously a problem.
Speaker 1: You and I knew about it. We talked about it
Speaker 1: all the time. His cognitive decline was evident for the
Speaker 1: whole world to see. It was an embarrassment, a global embarrassment.
Speaker 1: We all knew about it, and yet everybody around him
Speaker 1: kept saying nothing wrong with him. He's sharp as attack. Well,
Speaker 1: all these new books are coming out from all the
Speaker 1: left wingers who defended Joe Biden and said he was
Speaker 1: not cognitively impaired and there was no doubt downhill slide,
Speaker 1: And so a lot of the former Biden's supporters or
Speaker 1: deniers as I should I could say, are being asked
Speaker 1: questions about it. There's a new talking point in town, folks.
Speaker 1: And when you read it all together in one article.
Speaker 1: I got this Fox News article by Hannah Panrik, it
Speaker 1: comes across as just comical, which is why in the
Speaker 1: five o'clock I remay as well focus on a little
Speaker 1: comedy like we do with the Stacker is stupid. They're
Speaker 1: deflecting questions about President former President Biden's cognitive decline since
Speaker 1: all these books are coming out with specific quotes and
Speaker 1: examples and illustrations of it. Sentimnority leader Chuck Schimmer dismissed
Speaker 1: questions surrounding this latest book to come out with allegations
Speaker 1: of the president's decline. On cn and MSNBC, various media
Speaker 1: outlets that are typically left winning are asking pointed questions
Speaker 1: about Biden. So he's on CNN, Casey Hunt is asking
Speaker 1: him a question, did you really not have any idea
Speaker 1: that he was not fit to serve a second term?
Speaker 1: Straightforward question? His reply, Cassie looking forward. Then he pivoted
Speaker 1: over to Medicaid, which wasn't part of the question. We
Speaker 1: have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us, we
Speaker 1: have the whole federal government. That's kind of where he ended.
Speaker 1: But she pushed back, is that not Joe Biden's responsibility
Speaker 1: for deciding to run again? Meaning the fact that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is president of the United States of America. Now.
Speaker 1: His reply, We're looking forward. Then she said that's it.
Speaker 1: Schumer said, that's it, and that was, in fact the
Speaker 1: end of the interview. So the most recent book Jack
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson have this book
Speaker 1: coming out, and there's a lot of quotes from it
Speaker 1: out there in the world already original sin President Biden's decline,
Speaker 1: it's cover up, and his disastrous choice to run again.
Speaker 1: Schumer over on MSNBC being interviewed by Katie Turr, who
Speaker 1: asked him, well about a quoted a specific portion of
Speaker 1: the book, and then then and asked, do you think
Speaker 1: Biden deserves the blame for the loss in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: on the heels of a question about one of these
Speaker 1: batcrap and saying statements that Biden had made to Chucky.
Speaker 1: His reply, you know what's coming, Katie, We're looking forward.
Speaker 1: We have the largest medicaid cut in history. Facing this,
Speaker 1: we are focused on the future and doing right for
Speaker 1: the American people. Plain and simple sounds remarkably similar to
Speaker 1: his pat answer over in CNN.
Speaker 2: Doesn't it did just answer the question that question to
Speaker 2: be honest, big yeah, answer to answer the question, Claire,
Speaker 2: talk to us.
Speaker 3: Come on here, Jersey.
Speaker 4: It's only one question, Joe.
Speaker 1: You know what, as I was reading through this article,
Speaker 1: that's exactly the SoundBite I was going to just speak
Speaker 1: to you about even adding that. But see, you know
Speaker 1: so Turf follows up and asked if Biden actually said
Speaker 1: what was reported in the book the quote that she read.
Speaker 1: His reply, you know, it's we're looking forward. Gave the
Speaker 1: same responsoring a press conference early today when reporter asked
Speaker 1: if he was being straight with the American people and
Speaker 1: posting on X in June that the president was quote
Speaker 1: in command and impressive close quote that's Chuckie Schumer's ex
Speaker 1: post report apparently juxtapost Schumer's post with an insider describing
Speaker 1: Tapper and Thompson a terrifying that's in quotes moment. That
Speaker 1: same month, when Biden failed to recognize award winning actor
Speaker 1: George Clooney at a June fundraiser, Schumer dismissed the question, saying, ready,
Speaker 1: we're just looking forward. Asked by a reporter on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: whether it was helpful for Democrats Democratic Caucus to have
Speaker 1: these books about Biden in the twenty four campaign. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really helpful, and whether he wanted Biden to help
Speaker 1: campaign for Democrats Minority Leader Hakim Jeffreys, pivoting over to
Speaker 1: another Democrat politician who got the same talking points, quote,
Speaker 1: we're not looking backward, We're looking forward at this particular
Speaker 1: moment in time. Thanks Hakem. Moving over to Governor J. B. Pritzker,
Speaker 1: who would like to be president. I think they'll have
Speaker 1: to enlarge the Oval office if he becomes president. He
Speaker 1: said the commentary about the president self was very backward looking.
Speaker 1: On CNN a sort of a twist on that we're
Speaker 1: looking forward talking point from Pritzker. Amy Klobashar, Senator mission
Speaker 1: Minnesota on NBC talking to Christen Welker about Biden's insistence
Speaker 1: that it didn't matter they drop out of the race
Speaker 1: in July, only giving former President of Vice President Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris ninety days the campaign. You know, everything we look
Speaker 1: at in a rear view mirror after you lose an election. Yes,
Speaker 1: we would like to have been served better by a primary,
Speaker 1: but we are where we are. We're not in the
Speaker 1: history channel right now. And I believe that President Biden
Speaker 1: can come out and speak and do interviews whenever he wants,
Speaker 1: but I will say this, we're not in a history
Speaker 1: channel doubling down. So there's your Democrat talking point. They
Speaker 1: don't want to answer any questions about they're lying to you,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of worth pointing out. He was a
Speaker 1: starry state of affairs. He wasn't in control of his
Speaker 1: own faculties. The executive pen was not being wielded by
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's own hand. That was being wielded by a machine.
Speaker 1: We all joked about wondering who the puppet masters were
Speaker 1: for years during the Biden presidency. Who's the puppet masters,
Speaker 1: Who's the one pulling the strings? A lot of my
Speaker 1: listening audience believed to be Barack Obama. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: doctor Jill. I don't know, but the Democrats surrounding him
Speaker 1: lied to you. Not worthy of being rewarded for that
Speaker 1: lying to you. Five nineteen fifty five kres see the
Speaker 1: dog station and feel free to give me a call.
Speaker 1: I got more to talk about coming up right back
Speaker 1: after these three words. Here is your channel nine first
Speaker 1: morning one forecast Today partly cloudy, warm, humid, late afternoon
Speaker 1: and evening storms are expected, and they say around seven
Speaker 1: pm to two am three time frames from the storms,
Speaker 1: eighty five will be the high Today, clouds of a
Speaker 1: night muggy four storms are possible, sixty eight for the low,
Speaker 1: eighty two to the high. Tomorrow morning storms in the south.
Speaker 1: Afternoon evening storms are likely about five pm start when
Speaker 1: gus tornadoes treshild downpours are all possible. Dogs and cats
Speaker 1: looting together again, eighty to the high, sixty two the
Speaker 1: overnight low with rain ending. And on Saturday level partly
Speaker 1: cloudy with dry dead which is nice. Sunday they say
Speaker 1: it looks good to seventy three for the high on Saturday.
Speaker 1: What is it right now? Sixty forur degrees here at
Speaker 1: fifty five per CEB Talk station five two. Happy Thursday two.
Speaker 1: You after Trump's executive role to reduce to the costs
Speaker 1: of prescription pharmaceutical drugs. Listen to most Favored nation status.
Speaker 1: Say what you want about it. It's price fixing. Republicans
Speaker 1: aren't into that, but you know what, it's an unequal
Speaker 1: playing field. Why do other countries get the benefit of
Speaker 1: lower pharmaceuticals shouldering, leaving the burden, just leaving us to
Speaker 1: shoulder the burden of all the fat profit for the
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies funding research and development. That's one of the
Speaker 1: cries from people who are against the proposal. But I've
Speaker 1: been speculating and wondering what the Democrats were going to
Speaker 1: do by way of response to that, because you know,
Speaker 1: evil orange Man proposes literally anything, and they're against it
Speaker 1: just because well, evil orange Man said it. So I
Speaker 1: was actually surprised. Representative Rocanna, no right winger or Trump fan, Rocana,
Speaker 1: Democrat from California, he has introduced legislation to codify Trump's
Speaker 1: executive order. He shared a video which he spoke from
Speaker 1: the House floor, explaining that if he can cross the
Speaker 1: aisle and support Trump's executive order and legislation, each Republican
Speaker 1: should be willing to cross the isle as well. Will
Speaker 1: basically not him across theil just support Trump and his
Speaker 1: efforts to make this and make this a law. You say,
Speaker 1: the only way lawmakers could stand up the big farmer
Speaker 1: is to codify in legislation what the President wants to
Speaker 1: do in an executive order. Today, I am introducing legislation
Speaker 1: to codify President Trump's executive order he wrote ensuring Americans
Speaker 1: do not pay more than people in other countries for drugs.
Speaker 1: Will Congress members stand with sixteen billion dollars in big
Speaker 1: pharm of money, meaning that's to be the campaign contributions
Speaker 1: that farmer shells out or with the American people by
Speaker 1: co sponsoring this bipartisan legislation. How about that? So Trump
Speaker 1: did something the Democrats like, well, at least one. It'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see where this goes. And this legislation,
Speaker 1: the Democrats legislation apparently comes as Representative Andy Ouggles of
Speaker 1: Tennessee and sixteen other colleagues working to encourage Mike Johnson
Speaker 1: Speaker to start codifying some of Trump's other executive orders
Speaker 1: into law. So maybe we'll have nice big package of
Speaker 1: executive orders codified, which will remove the argument that Trump
Speaker 1: does not wield the authority with his executive pen to
Speaker 1: make such sweeping changes to the landscape out there. I
Speaker 1: know that's a criticism from the left about Trump the
Speaker 1: imperial presidency. I have concerns about it myself, generally speaking,
Speaker 1: because you know, someday there may be a Democrat in
Speaker 1: office and he or she may wield the pen even
Speaker 1: more than Donald Trump's wielding it. So anyhow, there's the
Speaker 1: answer to my question. I guess the Democrats actually have
Speaker 1: found something that Donald Trump does that they don't get
Speaker 1: wigged out over. Five twenty five. I five KRCD talk stations.
Speaker 1: Stick around. IVE got local stories coming up. Alternatively your
Speaker 1: phone calls, which I appreciate, but there is plenty to
Speaker 1: talk about local stories and be right back fifty five
Speaker 1: krc the talk station.
Speaker 5: I want you to.
Speaker 1: It's five twenty nine. If they do have KRCD talk station,
Speaker 1: then a happy Thursday to you local stories. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem if you gamble. I'm not
Speaker 1: much of a gambler myself, because you're likely to lose.
Speaker 1: That's how casinos are built. Look around you, Where did
Speaker 1: all the money come from to build this place? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the odds are against you. And a lot of people
Speaker 1: have problems with it, you know, with with gambling. They're
Speaker 1: addicted to it. The problem gamblers. That's why we have,
Speaker 1: you know, a gambling addiction clinics and programs out there
Speaker 1: in the world. That's a proposal here in the State
Speaker 1: of Ohio. Legislation introduced in the State House legalizing eye gaming.
Speaker 1: This making it easy for you to gamble right from
Speaker 1: your phone. Some of the states have already done this.
Speaker 1: Senate President Rob McCauley Napoleon Republican, once to potentially legalize
Speaker 1: a new form of gaming. Talking to State House News Bureau,
Speaker 1: it might be the time to make the movie, he said,
Speaker 1: I think there's a different tone and tenor about some
Speaker 1: of the things that maybe there there was ten than
Speaker 1: there was ten years ago. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: times Ohioans want to have a little bit more choice
Speaker 1: and how they spend their money and spend the recreational time.
Speaker 1: I think it's something we're going to talk about. Well,
Speaker 1: the reason he's doing this is because it's a huge
Speaker 1: amount of taxes that will be generated on it. They
Speaker 1: point out it will generate millions of tax revenue. Michigan
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four collected four hundred and fifty one
Speaker 1: million dollars. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania brought in eight hundred and four
Speaker 1: one million dollars. Oh look a revenue source. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: make it really easy. You can place slot machines on
Speaker 1: your cell phone. State Representative Bride Rose Sweeney, she's a
Speaker 1: Democrat from West Lake introduced legislation asking that any new
Speaker 1: money generated from this be spent on K through twelve,
Speaker 1: public education, publicly funded childcare, and yes programs to address
Speaker 1: problem gambling, facilitate the problem gambling, and then seek to
Speaker 1: solve the problems from your facilitation. Again, I'm not against it,
Speaker 1: mainly because I think people should be free to spend
Speaker 1: their money as they wish. I just realize that this
Speaker 1: is going to create more problem gamblers out there, so
Speaker 1: easy to just pick your phone up and go down
Speaker 1: that road. Since any father accused of recklessly fleeing a
Speaker 1: traffic stop and almost causing a crash with his newborn baby,

Speaker 1: three You talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Jay,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling the program this morning. And Happy Thursday, Hey,
Speaker 1: Happy Thursdayday, Bryan.
Speaker 4: Hey.
Speaker 6: Wanted to tell you about an experiment I ran recently
Speaker 6: regarding the Browns and their six hundred million dollar gifts
Speaker 6: I guess from the Ohio taxpayers. I called the Attorney
Speaker 6: General's office and also the auditor State Auditor's Office, and
Speaker 6: they have a fraud hotline, and so I reported it
Speaker 6: as fraud and just to see if I could get
Speaker 6: somebody to say yes or no, this is or is
Speaker 6: not constitutional. You could put your finger on the part
Speaker 6: of the Ohio State Constitution that allows us to happen.
Speaker 6: And the State Auditor's Office sent me an email back saying, quote,
Speaker 6: we discussed it, it's staff and decided there's nothing nothing
Speaker 6: really to pursue here. And that's all the response I
Speaker 6: got from the Auditor's Office, which I think their purpose
Speaker 6: and the reason they exist is to make sure that
Speaker 6: Ohio tax dollars aren't being wasted. The other point I
Speaker 6: made to them is recall that Jobs Ohio exists is
Speaker 6: a private public partnership where all the liquor license sales
Speaker 6: in the state of Ohio goes to Jobs Ohio, and
Speaker 6: that's where our economic development dollars are supposed to be
Speaker 6: be coming from and funded through Jobs Ohio, which just
Speaker 6: recently got like a ten or fifteen year extension. This
Speaker 6: is the six hundred million that the Browns didn't come
Speaker 6: from Jobs Ohio. They came out of just general legislation,
Speaker 6: out of the you know we're gonna we're gonna raise
Speaker 6: bonds to fund this called the Attorney General's office, and
Speaker 6: it wasn't any better. They they pretty much told me
Speaker 6: that if I wanted to get any help, I need
Speaker 6: to have to hire a lawyer. And I told them
Speaker 6: I already did. It's called the Ohio Attorney General's Office,
Speaker 6: and I'm asking them, do you not support the Ohio taxpayers?
Speaker 6: And they told me no, we represent the state of
Speaker 6: Ohio and the departments within the state of Ohio. I
Speaker 6: had to go up through three people before I was
Speaker 6: able to get a hold of a guy who agreed
Speaker 6: with me that they're supposed to be acting on behalf
Speaker 6: of the Ohio taxpayers. But then he told me to
Speaker 6: stay tuned. You know that gun contact my legislator. Yes,
Speaker 6: he said, well, it hasn't been voted on in the Senate.
Speaker 6: I said, this is not the point. I'm not talking
Speaker 6: to you about what the legislative process is. I'm asking you,
Speaker 6: are you the highest law enforcement and can you put
Speaker 6: your finger on the part of the constitution that what
Speaker 6: allows this to happen? And how is this any different
Speaker 6: from Larry Householders bail.
Speaker 8: Out of First Energy?
Speaker 6: And there was no good answers. But you know, Matt
Speaker 6: Hoffman is just a cheaper horner than Larry Householder. I
Speaker 6: think his campaign donation from the Browns with sixty three
Speaker 6: thousand dollars or six hundred million. So First Energy probably
Speaker 6: needs to talk to the Browns to figure out to
Speaker 6: get maybe pointers on how to buy influence with Republicans
Speaker 6: in Columbus. But I wanted to get your opinion on this.
Speaker 6: Am I way out of in left field on reporting
Speaker 6: this as fraud?
Speaker 1: Yeah? If fraud, is it wrongful or deception intended to
Speaker 1: result in financial personal gain. Now, what you have here
Speaker 1: is a situation where you're trying to find someone who
Speaker 1: actually represents the taxpayers of the state of Ohio. That's
Speaker 1: who our elected officials are supposed to be They're supposed
Speaker 1: to represent us and our interests. Now, clearly they are
Speaker 1: interested in helping the Browns. And I suppose the retort
Speaker 1: will be that, well, this is a worthwhile investment because
Speaker 1: the amount of taxpayer dollars that will be generated as
Speaker 1: a consequence of this stadium and the activities that go
Speaker 1: on around it will be a net plus for the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio, or at least for Cuyahoga County. So
Speaker 1: and they'll cite some nonsensical Barber Streiss in a foundation
Speaker 1: survey that will support that, Yeah, this is going to
Speaker 1: bring in a lot of jobs, is going to bring
Speaker 1: a lot of tax revenue, it's going to generate a
Speaker 1: lot of interest, et cetera, and ergo, it's worth the investment.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm using that term delicately of six
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in Ohio tax payer dollars and the
Speaker 1: debt goes along with it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, but the Browns have been around for seventy
Speaker 6: years and is still a dumb so uh, I would
Speaker 6: I would say, I would say it's trying to call
Speaker 6: that a failed experiment on that Ohio tax payer funding. Well,
Speaker 6: it's it'd be it'd be a great question for frank
Speaker 6: LeRose if he was to get down Auditor's office. Number one,
Speaker 6: my favorite topic is what about this medicaid fraud? Where
Speaker 6: are we.
Speaker 9: At right now?
Speaker 6: Are we still last in the country? And can we
Speaker 6: take that a fraction of the six hundred million we're
Speaker 6: going to give to the Browns. Could we have put
Speaker 6: a hundred million into the fixing the system across eighty
Speaker 6: eight counties? Where Keith Faber said it it smells like work,
Speaker 6: it looks kind of hard. Therefore, I'd rather not which
Speaker 6: Frank LeRose take that on, and would he also take
Speaker 6: a look at this, as somebody explained to me, the
Speaker 6: difference between Larry Householder and First Energy and Matt Humpman
Speaker 6: and the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a fair point you're making on that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: campaign contributions flowed into him. Uh and uh the money
Speaker 1: came from the Browns and the family in the in
Speaker 1: the in the group that owns the Browns. So there's
Speaker 1: there's an interesting parallel that can be drawn there. But
Speaker 1: let's face it, every single day of the year, some
Speaker 1: politician is getting money from somebody that's got a vested
Speaker 1: interest in legislation that's coming out of the u of
Speaker 1: the House and Senate. It's just the way politics works.
Speaker 10: I mean, that's why some people who's our watchdog, Brian
Speaker 10: is the Attorney General's office?
Speaker 6: Is it the auditors who's not doing their job here?
Speaker 1: We aren't doing our job. The phone should be lit up.
Speaker 1: A yeah, we have an obligation to scream bloody murder
Speaker 1: at those guys for even considering the proposal in the
Speaker 1: first place. I mean, we have an obligation to our
Speaker 1: fellow citizens to to to light the phones up and
Speaker 1: say this must stop. You know, I would hope.
Speaker 6: That there is there's more safeguards that if they can't
Speaker 6: put their finger on them a part of the constitution
Speaker 6: that says that this is allowed, that there would be
Speaker 6: some watchdog Otherwise, you know what, just cut the Attorney
Speaker 6: General's office, cut the Auditor's office. It's one more expensive
Speaker 6: we don't need.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll agree with you another expense we don't need.
Speaker 1: I'll agree with you that it just stinks of impropriety.
Speaker 1: We're paying for a private company's play field. It it
Speaker 1: won't be used much during the year, and it's just wrong.
Speaker 1: Across the board. But these are the who these are
Speaker 1: the people that we elected. And remember it hasn't passed yet.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you're gonna like the phones
Speaker 1: of get in touch with your senator, say hell no, I.
Speaker 6: Haven't believed me. But I'm thinking that if we are
Speaker 6: just the state of Ohio is just the wild West
Speaker 6: where we have all of these false front attorney generals
Speaker 6: as state auditors. But really it's going to fall in
Speaker 6: the back of voters to guide the politicians with no
Speaker 6: oversight of who is the one that's going to throw
Speaker 6: the flag and say that's not in the constitution. Plus,
Speaker 6: we have this thing called drops Ohio Economic Development Dollars
Speaker 6: we're supposed to come out of there. What's this other
Speaker 6: bucket of money coming out of the general fund that
Speaker 6: we're going to raise debt to go fund. I haven't
Speaker 6: heard anybody ask that question. That seems like we've extended
Speaker 6: jobs Ohio ten fifteen more years recently the inxpectation to
Speaker 6: death six hundred million come out of there.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I can't argue with what you're saying,
Speaker 1: but you know, based on just just simple principle, it's wrong.
Speaker 1: And how is it that the Cleveland Browns are the
Speaker 1: ones that get the money to the exclusion of all
Speaker 1: the other counties, because remember the legislation is for counties
Speaker 1: with the population of a million or more. Ow look
Speaker 1: Cuyhoga County and probably Franklin County, but certainly not Hamilton
Speaker 1: Hamilton County.
Speaker 6: And that was the other ask I had for each
Speaker 6: of them, is if you're going to do this, then
Speaker 6: you have to codify it for every business owner in Ohio.
Speaker 6: Tell us the process by which that we can I mean,
Speaker 6: if it's good for one, you guys ought to put
Speaker 6: out of paper, put out a statement, put out a
Speaker 6: process and a policy that says, here's how you too
Speaker 6: can pay Matt Upman sixty three thousand dollars and get
Speaker 6: six hundred million voted.
Speaker 1: As you say that, you know, in my mind is
Speaker 1: pivoting over to these green new deal energy projects. How
Speaker 1: is it that one company is the recipient of literally
Speaker 1: millions of American taxpayer dollars and the other company, which
Speaker 1: is engaged in the same business is not. They're always
Speaker 1: they always are in the business of picking and choosing
Speaker 1: the winners and losers. And this is what elected officials
Speaker 1: do every day on every level in every jurisdiction. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: at least the Hamlin kind of voters got to say
Speaker 1: when they voted to build the stadium here so long ago.
Speaker 1: The deal that was worked out was obviously not what
Speaker 1: was sold to the public generally speaking before we voted
Speaker 1: on it. So but in this particular case, our elected
Speaker 1: officials were sent there for a reason to represent us
Speaker 1: and our best interests, and I think they failed across
Speaker 1: the board in letting this get through. So like the
Speaker 1: phones up, get in touch with your senators and tell
Speaker 1: them hell no, appreciate the call Jay six fifteen right
Speaker 1: now if you have KCV talk station. Sounds like you
Speaker 1: could probably use a little bit of time at Gata

Speaker 11: on my fair city of Cleveland. By j.
Speaker 1: We have a Cleveland supporter. I'll go ahead, have about it.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say me, if you take Jay at
Speaker 1: his word and Cleveland is as bad as he says
Speaker 1: it is, then maybe that's one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: they need this multi billion dollar mega complex for everyone
Speaker 1: to enjoy, to improve, to improve Cuihoga.
Speaker 11: Guy, they are trying. Unfortunately, we've got the wrong political
Speaker 11: stripe running the city, just as Cincinnati is. Yeah, but
Speaker 11: you know, I've lived in both towns, and my statement
Speaker 11: to Jay is and Cincinnati is different.
Speaker 12: How So.
Speaker 11: That's they're pros and cons to both cities.
Speaker 1: Yes, there are, So I'm on your side. I have
Speaker 1: never attacked Cleveland. I've been there many many times. In
Speaker 1: my prior capacity is in house attorney for Anton Blue Cross,
Speaker 1: Blue Shield, I had to go to Cleveland quite a bit.
Speaker 1: I never had any problem with Cleveland. I never found
Speaker 1: it to be repulsive or awful or nasty. And I
Speaker 1: think that's just kind of like you east side versus
Speaker 1: west side. You know, everybody just kind of criticizes the
Speaker 1: other side because it's the thing to do. You got
Speaker 1: the Browns, we got the Bengals. So there's that rivalry
Speaker 1: that's built in there. And of course Cleveland does have
Speaker 1: this have its problem but you make a valid point
Speaker 1: about Cincinnati. How I can't argue with you.
Speaker 11: Man, there you go, all right, Well that's it. I
Speaker 11: will let you go have a wonderful day, and I
Speaker 11: hope you have a wonderful Memorial Holiday.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, truly appreciated. I have no problem with
Speaker 1: you defending Cleveland. That's okay. And here's something I really
Speaker 1: wanted to get in here because this is absolutely frightening
Speaker 1: and it doesn't come as any shock to me, but
Speaker 1: United States engineers have discovered what are described as mysterious
Speaker 1: undocumented communication devices in some Chinese made solar power inverters
Speaker 1: along with batteries as well. Reuters did a write up
Speaker 1: on this. This is scary stuff corner Reuter's sources, who
Speaker 1: did speak on a condition of anonymity because they were
Speaker 1: not given permission to speak on the record. The rogue
Speaker 1: components provide additional undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls
Speaker 1: to be circumvented remotely with potentially catastrophic consequences. And as
Speaker 1: something that Tech Friday's Dave Hatter talks about this Internet
Speaker 1: of Things, they say that illustrates the security issues that
Speaker 1: have haunted analysts since the dawn of Internet of Things,
Speaker 1: where every single thing we buy for some reason has
Speaker 1: to be hooked up to the Internet, which Dave Hatter
Speaker 1: always points out is extremely dangerous because they don't provide
Speaker 1: security within these little devices like your coffee maker, which
Speaker 1: can then gain access to your home Wi Fi SISM,
Speaker 1: which then is where the nefarious activity shows up. This
Speaker 1: is signing the longest exact same line. Number of devices
Speaker 1: broadcasting information online grown exponentially, of course, but the dangers
Speaker 1: that go along with that also have grown exponentially. In
Speaker 1: the case of these suspicious Chinese power inverters, the device
Speaker 1: is designed to connect solar power arrays and windmills to
Speaker 1: the power grids. They have Internet capabilities so the performance
Speaker 1: can be monitored and their software can be updated easily.
Speaker 1: But knowing this to be the practice, it teams that
Speaker 1: solar and wind farms set up firewalls is a precaution
Speaker 1: to prevent the devices from sending these unauthorized signals. They
Speaker 1: also physically inspect equipment from China to look for bugs
Speaker 1: that they find with shocking regularity. According to the statement
Speaker 1: from Reuters, the two people who decline to name the
Speaker 1: Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices,
Speaker 1: nor say how many they found in total, but the
Speaker 1: existence of the rogue devices has not been previously reported.
Speaker 1: The US government has not publicly acknowledged discoveries. They say
Speaker 1: these road communication devices could do a lot more than
Speaker 1: merely spy on the American power grids that use them.
Speaker 1: Cybersecurity experts been warning that these well the Chinese Communist
Speaker 1: Party in this particular case, very interested in targeting America's infrastructure.
Speaker 1: Hidden internet connections could allow the attacker to yes shut
Speaker 1: down the power grids or damage sensitive machinery, apparently not
Speaker 1: even a hypothetical threat. Back in November fifteenth last year,
Speaker 1: users of inverters manufactured by a Chinese company called Dye
Speaker 1: the Eye reported their units suddenly displayed a pop up
Speaker 1: bear message and became what they call bricked, basically unusable
Speaker 1: hmm now. For its part, Die said the units were
Speaker 1: sold without proper authorization outside of the normal distribution contracts
Speaker 1: with Western Hemisphere, but users doubt that explanation, and they
Speaker 1: believed I did use remote commands to kill the invert
Speaker 1: described as an unwelcome reminder for solar panel owners and
Speaker 1: their equipment that could be controlled or shut down using
Speaker 1: the Internet. Carlos jim And as a Republican out of
Speaker 1: Florida in the House of Representative, Senator Rick Scott, along
Speaker 1: with Democrat Maggie Hassan, introduced legislation trying to decouple US
Speaker 1: companies from batteries made by Chinese companies. Cybersecurity vulnerability listed
Speaker 1: as one of the most important reasons to move away
Speaker 1: from Chinese equipment. Senator Scott said, well, listen when our
Speaker 1: country nation, with our nation currently sourcing a majority of
Speaker 1: its batteries from Chinese link manufacturers, were subject to major
Speaker 1: unnecessary risk or our national security. One of the fun
Speaker 1: facts revealed in this In Europe, they say exercise and
Speaker 1: control over just three to four gigawatts of energy could
Speaker 1: cause widespread disruption of electricity supplies. European Solar Manufacturing Council
Speaker 1: they have one of those estimates. Over two hundred gigawatts
Speaker 1: of European solar power capacity is linked to inverters made
Speaker 1: in China, which is equivalent to more than two hundred
Speaker 1: nuclear power plants. Get your head wrapped around that. At
Speaker 1: the end of last year, three hundred and thirty eight
Speaker 1: gigawatts have installed solar power in Europe. According to Industry
Speaker 1: Association Solar Power Europe one cybersecurity program director, if you
Speaker 1: remotely control a large enough number of home solar inverters
Speaker 1: and do something nefarious at once that could have catastrophic
Speaker 1: implications to the grid for a prolonged period of time,
Speaker 1: we invite these enemies into our own home. And so
Speaker 1: this is why I say this is a nefarious link.
Speaker 1: You know, social media and global pressure and all these
Speaker 1: crazy organizations who think we're all going to die because
Speaker 1: plant foods going out into the world, but from a
Speaker 1: production of fossil fuel electricity. They try to convince you
Speaker 1: and legislate and mandate and dangle carrots, have incentive for
Speaker 1: you to go fully electric. EPA issues edicts and mandates
Speaker 1: to convert your otherwise totally reliable and superior gas stove
Speaker 1: to an electric one which will cost more, won't last
Speaker 1: as long, and which requires electricity to work. Right, We're
Speaker 1: pressured into this more and more and more, and think
Speaker 1: of all the components that go into these things made
Speaker 1: by Yes China, and every company in China is obligated
Speaker 1: to report its activities to the Chinese Communist Party. That's
Speaker 1: how they do business there, So does it come as
Speaker 1: a shock to anybody that these inverters would be able
Speaker 1: to communicate with China? You know, the beginning of the war.
Speaker 1: The lights are going to go out, That's how you know,
Speaker 1: and China's going to invade Taiwan, or that's how you
Speaker 1: know when the Chinese are on the shores of the
Speaker 1: United States of America, because the lights will go out,
Speaker 1: the grid will come to a screeching hault, catastrophe will ensue.
Speaker 1: People be screaming and yelling in the streets. You know,
Speaker 1: Bobby calls every once in a while and talks about
Speaker 1: the seventy two hours you got. That's basically how long
Speaker 1: it's gonna be before it completely hits the fan, because
Speaker 1: guess what. The grocery stores are gonna be closed, the
Speaker 1: gasoline pumps aren't gonna work, You're not gonna have a
Speaker 1: lestricity in your home. And you know, it's just the
Speaker 1: ripple effect is profound. And here we have given an
Speaker 1: opportunity openly buying products from China, which is the only
Speaker 1: place that manufactures them, giving them a clear opportunity to
Speaker 1: cause that chaos that I just mentioned six twenty eight,
Speaker 1: Maybe we get Dave had to talk about that tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I know it's not on his topic list currently, but
Speaker 1: the story just broke yesterday six twenty eight fifty five

Speaker 3: The President could not be any more clear that the
Speaker 3: Iranians are not getting nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: No way, no shape, matter, no form. It just isn't happening.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 3: If Iran's leadership rejects the olive branch and continues to
Speaker 3: attack the neighbors, then we will have no choice but
Speaker 3: to inflict massive, maximum pressure. And he's been clear they
Speaker 3: will not ever ever get a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 3: On the other hand, he's holding on the olive branch,
Speaker 3: and that he said he would much rather make a
Speaker 3: deal with Iran and see Tehran prosper. The people of
Speaker 3: Iran have suffered greatly because the money is that they
Speaker 3: have taken in. They have used that money to foment
Speaker 3: terror in the region. They're the number one state sponsor
Speaker 3: of terror.

Speaker 7: fifty five KR and seat the talk station.
Speaker 1: Six thirty three if you got KCD talk station. Oh look,
Speaker 1: local stories. Somebody wrote editorial comments all over this. Joe
Speaker 1: Strecker City Leaders five nineteen reporting this. City leaders unveiled
Speaker 1: plans for the summer in sins he described as a
Speaker 1: collaborati effort to reduce youth violence and gun violence during
Speaker 1: the summer months in the city. They say violence spikes
Speaker 1: when there's no school and when temperatures rise. Data collected
Speaker 1: by since Ant Police showed about five percent of the
Speaker 1: city's area considered summer hotspots and since At Police Chief
Speaker 1: three strategic used the data. Says the department now able
Speaker 1: to focus on specific high crime areas. Said they're focusing
Speaker 1: on six high priority areas with more patrols and towing
Speaker 1: of illegally parked cars. She said a significant number of
Speaker 1: people came down park wherever they wanted to and went
Speaker 1: to different areas and created problem. So you take one
Speaker 1: simple action item and we saw that that made a
Speaker 1: significant gains for us. Impound lots going to be staying
Speaker 1: open longer. Additionally, data shows that juvenile car thefts or
Speaker 1: thefts from cars is above the three year average, with
Speaker 1: the Chief saying this is an area we will focus
Speaker 1: on heavily throughout the summer, and one of the ways
Speaker 1: we do that is by engaging with the youth. Apparently
Speaker 1: that's where Cincinnti Parks and the Cincinnti Recreation Commission comes in.
Speaker 1: Numerous opportunities, and they've done this before for kids and
Speaker 1: teens at local rec centers, pools and parks. This year,
Speaker 1: all twenty three public pools and the CINCINNTI Rec Center
Speaker 1: will be operating in full swing. First few open May
Speaker 1: twenty fourth. Kid number one, this is editorial commentor from
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker. Hey man, let's break into cars, Kid number two,
Speaker 1: No way, I want to go watch Finding Nemo at
Speaker 1: the rec Center. Do you think that's the way that's
Speaker 1: going to shake out? Hi, Joe reck at night, that's back,
Speaker 1: they say by popular No Man teen event will take
Speaker 1: place every Saturday, June seventh through August ninth at the
Speaker 1: Lincoln Hers Rec Center. According to Rec Commissioner Director Daniel Betts,
Speaker 1: last year we served over three thousand teens. This year
Speaker 1: we're amy to googin higher. We ended up having on
Speaker 1: any given Saturday night four to five hundred teens at
Speaker 1: both sites. Other youth programs the Camp CRC free golf
Speaker 1: lessons and two hundred job opportunities for teens. City leaders
Speaker 1: launching mitigation efforts at riverfront parks after new data showed
Speaker 1: teens are clustering in those areas. Won't they then be
Speaker 1: clustering altogether at the rec center. I thought the problem
Speaker 1: was getting all these teens in one spot. That's where
Speaker 1: the fights come out, right, I don't know. I guess
Speaker 1: we'll keep our popcorn out and just see how it unfolds.
Speaker 1: This year six thirty six fifty five krs the talk

Speaker 1: He is one of the same prest Digion terriers. You'll
Speaker 1: be working with John. He'll be there from initial design
Speaker 1: to final installation. He's got amazing ideas because John's been
Speaker 1: doing kitchen remodeling for almost exclusively for like thirty five
Speaker 1: plus years. He did our kitchen We love it, came
Speaker 1: up with just unbelievable ideas ideas that my wife and I,
Speaker 1: if left to our own devices, probably would never have
Speaker 1: thought up. But that's where all these years of experience
Speaker 1: come in. He'll see your kitchen and he'll sit down
Speaker 1: with you and talk about what you're looking for and
Speaker 1: offer his own suggestions. And I recommend you seriously consider
Speaker 1: what he's got to say. You don't want to do
Speaker 1: a gut rehab like we did go with cabinets and countertops.
Speaker 1: He's the man to work with on that as well,
Speaker 1: small projects, big projects, everything in between. A plus with
Speaker 1: a Better Business Baron member of the National Kitchen Bath Association.

Speaker 1: hundred eight hundred eight two three found five fifty on
Speaker 1: at and T Phonds. Glad to see somebody's doing the
Speaker 1: right thing. When the Democrats wigged out over transgender issues
Speaker 1: and diversity equity inclusion, we saw heaploaded that into the
Speaker 1: Biden administration although he probably wasn't even aware it was
Speaker 1: going on. But this is one of those issues where
Speaker 1: the vast majority of American people are all on the
Speaker 1: same side of the ledger, and it is not on
Speaker 1: the left wing, far progressive side of the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: who are really struggling mightily to come up with a
Speaker 1: message that's palatable to the American people. I see the
Speaker 1: Justice Department is taking funds that are for that were
Speaker 1: formerly granted to groups supporting transgender ideology and diversity along
Speaker 1: with the diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. And that word
Speaker 1: group in there troubles me because they're in lies the
Speaker 1: challenge we face and one of the problems with the
Speaker 1: federal government spending. They get all of this money in
Speaker 1: a big pile, and as we mentioned earlier about picking
Speaker 1: and choosing the winners and losers. For example, the context
Speaker 1: of the state of Ohio choosing that the Browns are
Speaker 1: going to get six hundred million dollars of Ohio taxpayer money.
Speaker 1: What about the rest of the teams out in the state. Nope,
Speaker 1: nothing for you. There are a whole bunch of non
Speaker 1: governmental organizations out there in the world, and they get
Speaker 1: theyd a lot of money. Even though they're listed as
Speaker 1: non for profit, each and every one of them gets
Speaker 1: a salary, and sometimes very large salaries, and I think
Speaker 1: their mere existence is to extract taxpayer dollars and really
Speaker 1: not accomplish anything. Some of that money goes back to
Speaker 1: the politicians who picked the ones that got the money.
Speaker 1: There's that money train, the circular money train, although unfortunately
Speaker 1: you're not part of the circle. It just comes from
Speaker 1: you and ends up from the politicians into the NGOs
Speaker 1: who then contribute back to the politicians. Anyway, back over
Speaker 1: to the point of this one. That money is now
Speaker 1: going to be going to well law enforcement. Justice Department
Speaker 1: officials speaking with Fox News under Attorney General Pam Bondy,
Speaker 1: they claim they will not be wasting funds on DEI,
Speaker 1: with the statements saying, the Department of Justice under Pambondi
Speaker 1: will not waste discretionary funds on DEI passion projects that
Speaker 1: do not make Americans safer. We will use the money
Speaker 1: to get criminals off the streets, see drugs, and in
Speaker 1: some cases fund programs that deliver a tangible impact for
Speaker 1: victims of crime. Seems to be a higher priority in
Speaker 1: a more worthy pursuit don't you think. On our first
Speaker 1: day at work, Bondi directed officials to ensure that all
Speaker 1: DEI programs were terminated, demanding the removal of all references
Speaker 1: to DEI training programs and ending the emphasis on race
Speaker 1: and sexual criteria, refocusing hiring and promotion on guidelines solely
Speaker 1: on merit. Back to a meritocracy. Who should get the job?
Speaker 1: I mean, she seems so illogical and unreasonable, the Defendantcy's
Speaker 1: DEI programs, And really all that's saying is you must
Speaker 1: fit a certain criteria that has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: your abilities, has nothing to do with the merit, nothing
Speaker 1: to do with your worth in terms of your ability
Speaker 1: to perform the functions of any given job. You have
Speaker 1: to be fill in the black, black, or Asian or
Speaker 1: not white. Of course, you have to be transgender, you
Speaker 1: have to be a woman. I mean, all these things
Speaker 1: that have no connection with merit. It's the same thing
Speaker 1: that goes on in our K through twelve education system.
Speaker 1: Now having merit and being able to perform at grade
Speaker 1: level is no longer relevant. Oh, we need to advance them,
Speaker 1: we need to bring up to the next grade, because well,
Speaker 1: they can't ever really answered the question why what it's
Speaker 1: not fair to pass a child you can't meet the
Speaker 1: grade level criteria.
Speaker 12: What is that?
Speaker 1: It's not fair that you've moved them on to the
Speaker 1: next grade when they can't perform at grade level, because
Speaker 1: then you're just going to make matters worse and it's
Speaker 1: a downward spiral from that point. I mean that our
Speaker 1: colleges teach remedial mathematics classes, stuff that you needed to
Speaker 1: learn in high school to advance under traditional grading standards.
Speaker 1: It's an atrocity. I mean that concept exists regularly in
Speaker 1: the world. Our children are not prepared for life. It's
Speaker 1: undermining the fabric of our nation. We're creating a nation
Speaker 1: of idiots. And maybe that's the point of it all.
Speaker 1: I mean, you think you move down that path where
Speaker 1: you turn all the children are a vast majority of
Speaker 1: in the idiots, they become then useful idiots for a nonsensical,
Speaker 1: illogical and failed political philosophy which is either socialism or Marxism.
Speaker 1: Oh the other company countries who've tried it just didn't
Speaker 1: do it right. How many times you heard that in
Speaker 1: your lifetime. But that's exactly what's going on, folks. That's
Speaker 1: what I firmly believe anyway. My c MIC's on the
Speaker 1: fine MIC. I will happy to take your call right
Speaker 1: out of the gate when we get back. Got to
Speaker 1: mention affordable imaging services because I want you to pay
Speaker 1: an outrageous amount to get your MRI, your CT scan,
Speaker 1: your echo cardigram, your ultra sound. They do all of
Speaker 1: those at affordable imaging services with the same kind of equipment.
Speaker 1: Hospitals use medical professionals who've been at this for decades.
Speaker 1: Each of these scans or images that affordable imaging comes
Speaker 1: with the price included the board certified radiologist report. I've
Speaker 1: done this several times with CT scans. Never has my
Speaker 1: doctor complained at all. I didn't go to the hospital
Speaker 1: imaging department because the CT scan there could set me
Speaker 1: back five thousand dollars. Think about that, well, what is
Speaker 1: the cost affordable affordable imaging services four fifty without a contrast?
Speaker 1: Six hundred dollars worth of contrast, and yes, that price
Speaker 1: includes the radiologist report. It's the savings are amazing. I
Speaker 1: got a friend, Jeff, who's going to send an email
Speaker 1: right now because he does it every time I mentioned this.
Speaker 1: He saved thirty one one hundred dollars that would have
Speaker 1: come out of his pocket had he gone to the hospital.
Speaker 1: Took my advice, went to Affordable Imaging Services to learn
Speaker 1: more about pricing and how it works. It is low overhead.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to promise you that it's gonna be
Speaker 1: all kinds of bells and whistles there, but it's the

Speaker 8: like four hundred and fifty thousand signatures if I'm do
Speaker 8: those have property owners or or anybody?
Speaker 1: No, anybody, I believe as long as you're a resident
Speaker 1: of the state of Ohio. I don't think they can
Speaker 1: limit it to property owners. Yeah, just anybody who might
Speaker 1: be impacted by legislation in the state or the ballot
Speaker 1: initiative can be you know, can sign on to it.
Speaker 1: They have to get signatures.
Speaker 8: Signatures will be pretty easy to get.
Speaker 1: I would think. That was my comment the other day
Speaker 1: when I first read about that being circulated. It's like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, this should be an easy, easy task
Speaker 1: to accomplish. So you have to get five percent of
Speaker 1: the total voters in the most recent I guess is
Speaker 1: it gubernatorial election. That's the that's the criteria. And you
Speaker 1: got to get signatures from forty four of the eighty
Speaker 1: eight counties.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 8: The apartment buildings and yeah, those people don't pay taxes, property.
Speaker 1: Tax, So oh yeah, I think this is going to
Speaker 1: be hilarious because if it passes, I mean, are there
Speaker 1: enough property owners that I actually get out and vote
Speaker 1: in favor of this or with the people who don't
Speaker 1: own property and to continue with property tax because it's
Speaker 1: not impacting them. Although really it is. If you're a renter,
Speaker 1: you are impacted by property tax as well. So if
Speaker 1: there are enough people that will be against this, I
Speaker 1: just I'm wondering what they're going to do elected officials
Speaker 1: in Columbus, if this actually comes to pass and property
Speaker 1: taxes banned under the Hong Kong Constitution, how are schools
Speaker 1: going to be funded they.
Speaker 8: Ever fights that, whatever money they use to fight it
Speaker 8: could easily pay what is offset.
Speaker 1: And to state that again, because you broke up, Oh
Speaker 1: he hung up, didn't quite understand this comment. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: one of those things I'm gonna be looking at with
Speaker 1: I don't know, significant interest. What will the aftermath of
Speaker 1: that be, because I mean, property tax is what funds
Speaker 1: all kinds of things, his school levies, and he got
Speaker 1: park issues and all these initiatives are are they going
Speaker 1: to start? What are the suggestions? Was increase the sales tax,
Speaker 1: which conceptually I'm not necessarily against, because everybody buys things
Speaker 1: at some point or other. Some people buy more than others.
Speaker 1: Of course, more disposable income, the more options you have
Speaker 1: to actually buy things. But if you're buying something, you're
Speaker 1: going to be helping to pay for something that you
Speaker 1: might not be paying for but enjoying. Think of the
Speaker 1: park district, for example, maybe you have people who aren't
Speaker 1: property owners are going to the parks.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: I know they get their funds from resource or sources
Speaker 1: other than property taxes. But when you vote to for
Speaker 1: an increase or a levey, of course that's a property
Speaker 1: tax levee, So only property owners are paying for that.
Speaker 1: So if you raise the sales tax, then everyone's going
Speaker 1: to be covering a slice of the action, which I
Speaker 1: think is a fairer way of approaching it. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you'll get some advocates for the poor and folks on
Speaker 1: life's margins who will screen their bloody heads off over
Speaker 1: that that these evil property owners should be shouldering the
Speaker 1: burden because they're elite and they're well off. But you know,
Speaker 1: I really feel for the seniors out there. You've been
Speaker 1: in your home for forty years, maybe you've got it
Speaker 1: paid off, and you're living on social Security or some
Speaker 1: modest form of income, and along comes the assessment and
Speaker 1: you find out your property taxes bill has gone up
Speaker 1: thirty percent, and that puts a dent in what you've
Speaker 1: got left over. Maybe you can't afford it. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's been arguments over the years that maybe at some
Speaker 1: point in time, like when you own your home fully
Speaker 1: or something, you reach some certain age that you no
Speaker 1: longer have to pay property tax. A lot of different
Speaker 1: ways of looking at it and viewing it. But in
Speaker 1: the final analysis, that's the ballot initiative is going to
Speaker 1: be circulated. The language has to be approved. The title
Speaker 1: has already been approved, so phase two is approving the
Speaker 1: actual language in the ballot initiative, which again is a
Speaker 1: constitutional amendment six to fifty five. Fifty five kres to
Speaker 1: the Talk Station. After the top of the r new
Speaker 1: is Secretary of Frank Secretary Steve Frank lro is supposed
Speaker 1: to be in studio talking about the paltry voter turnout.
Speaker 1: I think that's one issue if it's on the ballot,
Speaker 1: would bring out voters qualified immunity amendment and his run
Speaker 1: for state auditor. So that'll be next after the news.
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around, stay on top of
Speaker 1: the day's biggest stories at the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: and that's so important. Another update coming up on fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC the Talk Station. This report is sponsored by
Speaker 1: seven six Here at fifty about PARCD talk station. Happy
Speaker 1: Thursday Friday Eve is what I prefer, and I always
Speaker 1: prefer having guests in the studio. And it is a
Speaker 1: wonderful thing to look across the booth here and see
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Frank LeRose in the studio to talk
Speaker 1: about a variety different topics. Welcome man, good to see
Speaker 1: you again.
Speaker 2: Great to be back in the Queen City at fifty
Speaker 2: five KRC and not talking to you on the phone.
Speaker 1: For us to be here, I know, And yeah, we've
Speaker 1: run into each other in person all the time, and
Speaker 1: I will say out loud, it's glad to see you, Casu.
Speaker 1: You're going running after And I apologize to Frank because
Speaker 1: I didn't realize who's going to be in my studio
Speaker 1: this morning. And I have my defund politicians t shirt on.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: I'm glad, but you know, I'm in charge of campaign
Speaker 2: finance in Ohio, so we want to defund the you know,
Speaker 2: the bad ones.
Speaker 1: Doing it right, plee real quick here, right out of
Speaker 1: the gate. I know we've got other things to talk about,
Speaker 1: but I think there's probably no one of my listening
Speaker 1: audiences happy at all about this. Cleveland Browns getting six
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars through bond money that we have to
Speaker 1: pay debt service on. I don't I don't understand where
Speaker 1: that come from, How that can be, How in a
Speaker 1: representative government that all the Ohio tax payers are going
Speaker 1: to beholding the burden for debt service so the Browns
Speaker 1: can get their new playfield and this this, this, this facility.
Speaker 1: It's just it's really rubbed my listeners the wrong way.
Speaker 1: And I know you're not.
Speaker 2: I'm going to disclose something here in Cincinnati, Ohio, what
Speaker 2: a city I love. I'm a lifelong Browns fan. I
Speaker 2: grew up in Cleveland, right right. But I also am
Speaker 2: one that believes that football should be played out door.
Speaker 2: I think men should play football outdoors in the weather, yes,
Speaker 2: as God intended. But further, I think that there's this
Speaker 2: national arms race as it relates to stadium funding exactly.
Speaker 2: And I think that the thought by a lot of
Speaker 2: our legislators is, well, we're not going to unil lot
Speaker 2: of early disarmed because all these other states are putting
Speaker 2: public money and public bond deals into these stadiums, and
Speaker 2: so Ohio doesn't want to be the state with shabby
Speaker 2: stadiums where we can't have big national events where we
Speaker 2: can't attract top talent, and Lord knows the Browns need
Speaker 2: all the help they can get when it comes to
Speaker 2: attracting talent. So again, there's two sides to this. I
Speaker 2: can see your point completely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, multimillionaire families sometimes billionaire families, and we the taxpayers,
Speaker 1: pay for them so they can make money off of
Speaker 1: the stadiums that we build on our backs. I just
Speaker 1: I find the whole thing just I don't know one
Speaker 1: thing that's for sure.
Speaker 2: There's a thing that's called the model rule, where if
Speaker 2: any public money goes into a stadium and that team leaves,
Speaker 2: then that money can be clawed back. It's that's I mean,
Speaker 2: if there's anything that should be rock solid, it would
Speaker 2: be that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll just put an exclamation point on your point
Speaker 1: that men should play football out in the weather. My
Speaker 1: view is, listen, football fields are regulated size. They all
Speaker 1: have to be the exact same size. If you've got
Speaker 1: the football field and you got a place for people
Speaker 1: to sit, that's all that's needed to play the game.
Speaker 1: They could play at Nippert Stadium, they could play football
Speaker 1: field at like Elder High School. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you're ever at the old old Brown Stadium. I
Speaker 2: was ruined from like one year old. My dad would
Speaker 2: take me to the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium, but you
Speaker 2: had to pee in a trough.
Speaker 1: Yeah oh that was yeah, okay, yeah, you know, so
Speaker 1: remember those days and listen.
Speaker 2: Here's something that Cleveland and Cincinnati have in common as
Speaker 2: a release to football, the great legacy of Paul Brown,
Speaker 2: who would have been rolling in his grave seeing the pampered,
Speaker 2: the pamper millionaires that are playing football these days.
Speaker 1: You know, oh my god. And also the pampered millionaires
Speaker 1: who seem to have all the resources that like, for example,
Speaker 1: we have to stadium upgrades here in the city. So
Speaker 1: Sinnati from pay Course Stadium, obligated by that terrible lease
Speaker 1: deal that we approved, they put all the money into
Speaker 1: the booths, the elite booths that none of the unwashed
Speaker 1: masters are ever going to get into. So it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need four hundred million dollars or tw hundrellion dollars
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you know the X amount of that,
Speaker 1: A large slice of that is going to go to
Speaker 1: the private booths where the elite get to watch the
Speaker 1: games and let's face it, the unwashed masses and Zip
Speaker 1: champagne cavias they wash. Yeah, I'm sorry to get down
Speaker 1: that road. We had a conversation early in the program
Speaker 1: this morning about it. Let's talk about voter turnout, which
Speaker 1: was pathetic. Yeah, I mean, I know it was an
Speaker 1: off cycle election. I fully appreciate that, but you know,
Speaker 1: issue too, was there there was a reason to go
Speaker 1: out and vote?
Speaker 12: And what was it?
Speaker 1: Ten percent?
Speaker 2: It was just over ten percent. And this is funny
Speaker 2: because we have what we call election night operations. It's
Speaker 2: a room where we're running. We got a direct line
Speaker 2: to each of the eighty eight county boards of Elections.
Speaker 2: We're pulling the numbers in from them every half hour.
Speaker 2: We're validating those numbers, were flashing them up on the website.
Speaker 2: So we're in the in the mode. We're in the game.
Speaker 2: And when we went over ten percent, everybody cheered, and
Speaker 2: I was so excited that we went over ten percent,
Speaker 2: and then I said, stop, team, just realize here that
Speaker 2: we're celebrating that ninety percent didn't vote. I know, only
Speaker 2: ten percent, But listen, when we have a party, we
Speaker 2: don't want people to not come, and so we want
Speaker 2: to see high voter turnout, and so we were happy
Speaker 2: to see that it went over ten percent because we
Speaker 2: weren't expecting much. I mean, the total number was eight
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty eighty one hundred and twenty four of
Speaker 2: our fellow Ohioans who bothered to get off their butts
Speaker 2: and participate in one of the three forms of voting
Speaker 2: we have either early voting for a whole month, or
Speaker 2: absently voting where we literally mail your ballot to your
Speaker 2: house for you, or election day voting. Now, again, it's
Speaker 2: hard to get people excited about what they're so called
Speaker 2: off year elections, these these even these odd numbered years
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty five. Now contrast that, though to the
Speaker 2: even number years twenty twenty record breaking year twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: we broke the record for a goom viatorial election. Last
Speaker 2: year in twenty twenty four, we broke the all time
Speaker 2: record for early voting. So it's not that Ohioans are
Speaker 2: not civically engaged. Ohioans care about voting, and they're engaged
Speaker 2: in it, and they know that it's both easy to
Speaker 2: vote and hard to cheat in our state, and they
Speaker 2: show up in record numbers when they care. The problem
Speaker 2: is getting people to care about local issues, local elections.
Speaker 2: People get excited about presidential elections. People get excited about
Speaker 2: governor's elections, US senate races. It's hard to get people
Speaker 2: excited about the mayor's race and the city council race
Speaker 2: and a statewide ballot issue. And it's unfortunate because listen,
Speaker 2: it matters who lives in the White House. As a soldier,
Speaker 2: I can tell you this, I leave for army duty
Speaker 2: next week, and as a reservist, it matters who my
Speaker 2: commander in chief is. But who lives in the White
Speaker 2: House is probably not as important in your daily life
Speaker 2: as who works at the courthouse and the schoolhouse and
Speaker 2: at city hall. And in twenty twenty five and years
Speaker 2: like that, that's when we make those decisions. So you know,
Speaker 2: get off your button, go vote well.
Speaker 1: Going back to the record year, the twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 1: that was a record year for early voting.
Speaker 2: Correct and by the way, Republicans dominated early voting, which
Speaker 2: is historically unusual. We were now again we can't tell
Speaker 2: how people voted, but we could tell in the numbers
Speaker 2: leading up to election day, Republicans had out voted Democrats
Speaker 2: by over two hundred and fifty thousand, a quarter million.
Speaker 2: So we started election day up by a quarter million.
Speaker 2: No wonder we dominated on election Day. I hope that's
Speaker 2: a lesson to my fellow Republicans to continue taking advantage
Speaker 2: of all three good options. It's like if you're a
Speaker 2: football coach, you can score points by by running, passing,
Speaker 2: or kicking. You'd be foolish to only use one of
Speaker 2: those three. We need to make sure that people vote
Speaker 2: whichever way is convenient for them, but they got to vote. Well,
Speaker 2: what percentage of eligible islands voted in the presidential election? Generally,
Speaker 2: like if you had ten percent in Ohio for the
Speaker 2: off cycle election, we just went through. Yeah, it's always
Speaker 2: north of fifty. I mean sometimes we get into the
Speaker 2: sixties and seventies. I tell the story about when I
Speaker 2: was when I was serving in Iraq. This is go
Speaker 2: back to two thousand and five, had their first real election.
Speaker 2: They'd had the BS elections where Saddam Hussein got one
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the vote. Everybody knew that was nonsense,
Speaker 2: but I was there as a soldier to see their
Speaker 2: first real election. So the Purple Finger and I tell
Speaker 2: the story. People were being threatened though these Islamist groups
Speaker 2: from backed by Iran. We're telling people that it was
Speaker 2: un Islamic to vote. That's a lie. They were saying
Speaker 2: that if they saw that purple ink on your finger,
Speaker 2: they would cut your finger off. And so when those
Speaker 2: Iraqis held that purple finger in the air, it might
Speaker 2: as well have been another finger. They were saying, I'm
Speaker 2: not afraid of you. And so that election we saw
Speaker 2: over seventy percent. I always joke that listen, nobody's threatening
Speaker 2: to cut fingers off in a while. No, and we
Speaker 2: almost never get over seventy percent. But again, it shows
Speaker 2: you that free people can make a difference when they
Speaker 2: go out to vote, and we need to not take
Speaker 2: that right for granted here well, and to.
Speaker 1: Those people who are upset about the six hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars you just referred to, that was my retort, which is,
Speaker 1: you know it isn't illegal. Necessarily. Elected officials are always
Speaker 1: picking the winners and losers in terms of where our
Speaker 1: taxpayers go. It's the ballot box is how you hold
Speaker 1: them accountable.
Speaker 2: Every vote is determined by those who show up, and
Speaker 2: I always laugh when I encounter protesters that don't vote,
Speaker 2: like you're missing like you're gonna wave a picket sign,
Speaker 2: You're gonna go out there and protest, but you're not
Speaker 2: gonna vote. You're missing the most important part of the process.
Speaker 2: We're continue with Secretary of Stave frankkel Rose in studio.

Speaker 1: State Auditor. Frank Loose dot com where you find Frank Frank.
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, man before we get the qualified
Speaker 1: immunity in your comments on that. That's an amendment that's
Speaker 1: being circulated ballot initiative out there, and I know you're
Speaker 1: responsible for the language, and you just approve the least
Speaker 1: the language of the headache.
Speaker 2: We approved it as one issue, so that's a multi
Speaker 2: step process. Chair really called the ballot board.
Speaker 1: Okay, By way of explanation, I'm talking about pivoting over
Speaker 1: to the amendment of the constitution that would remove property tax.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to gauge your reaction on that because
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how things would work out if it passed,
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing it probably would if it's actually on
Speaker 1: the ballot.
Speaker 2: So let's even take a step back. And I kind
Speaker 2: of editorialized on this yesterday when I was chairing the
Speaker 2: ballot board to look at it and approve whether it
Speaker 2: should be one issue or separate issues on the ballot.
Speaker 2: We're leaning too far into direct democracy right now.
Speaker 1: In Ohio.
Speaker 2: We are a representative republic. It has served us well
Speaker 2: for two hundred years. We do not want to govern
Speaker 2: via constitutional amendment. Legislation should be done in the state
Speaker 2: House and the state Senate. That should not be done
Speaker 2: by constitutional amendment. I listen, I believe that property tax
Speaker 2: is entirely too high. When your mortgage payment is more
Speaker 2: than half of it is your property tax, something's wrong, right.
Speaker 2: It feels like you are And how about seniors on
Speaker 2: a fixed income. They've paid off that mortgage, they burned
Speaker 2: that note already, and now it feels like they're renting
Speaker 2: their property from the state government, from the local government.
Speaker 2: Too high. Property taxes are too high. This may not
Speaker 2: be the way to fix it, though, right and so
Speaker 2: I think that things like putting a cap on it,
Speaker 2: revisiting a thing called the homestead exemption that provides property
Speaker 2: tax relief for seniors. And something I'm going to focus
Speaker 2: on as the state auditor, is who the heck's spending
Speaker 2: all this money at the local level and are they
Speaker 2: accountable and are they efficient? Really, the State Auditor's Office
Speaker 2: could be o DOGE, Ohio Department of Government Efficiency. And
Speaker 2: you know, if you're not happy with your county commissioners,
Speaker 2: you know who to vote out. If you're not happy
Speaker 2: with your city, you know who to vote out. But
Speaker 2: how about the local housing authority, how about the planning commission?
Speaker 2: How about the park district? Who do you hold accountable
Speaker 2: for that kind of stuff?
Speaker 1: Well, and we keep voting to have those levies replaced
Speaker 1: or in increased or continuing resolution. I know it's on
Speaker 1: the backs of the people who show up to vote,
Speaker 1: but a large chunk of the property taxes is schools. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the Ohio Supreme Court declared two decades ago that
Speaker 1: our funding mechanism for schools in the state of Ohio
Speaker 1: is unconstitutional. And yet here we are, twenty years later,
Speaker 1: still doing it the same way. Now someone had called
Speaker 1: in because I'm a lawyer, this was a mystery to me.
Speaker 1: How it will be characterized as a complaint. Isn't there
Speaker 1: some mechanism we could refuse to pay our property taxes
Speaker 1: because the Supreme Court has declared it unconstitutional at least
Speaker 1: that portion of the property taxes.
Speaker 2: That's like the sovereign citizen. I say, I don't need
Speaker 2: a license plate. That doesn't work. But here's the thing
Speaker 2: that what you're talking about is the thing from God.
Speaker 2: I was a high school student when this happened, the
Speaker 2: d'off decision, and what it was based on is school facilities.
Speaker 2: The first draft decision was all about you had these
Speaker 2: little Appalachian schools with dirt floors, and then you had
Speaker 2: these suburban schools that were beautiful, and there was disparity
Speaker 2: between that. Honestly, that part has been largely fixed through
Speaker 2: a thing that the Ohio the state government calls the
Speaker 2: school Facilities Commission. You've noticed a lot of nice schools
Speaker 2: built over the last few decades in Ohio. Maybe some
Speaker 2: of them too nice College University exactly. But that was
Speaker 2: the School Facilities Commission. So we've largely fixed the disparity
Speaker 2: in school buildings. Now what happens inside of those is
Speaker 2: still a problem, right, And we know that your zip
Speaker 2: code has a lot to do with what quality of
Speaker 2: schools you have. And I think, honestly, this is why
Speaker 2: school choice is so important. I think the school choice
Speaker 2: is the civil rights issue of our era. Amen, no kid.
Speaker 2: If we believe in a meritocracy, we do that any
Speaker 2: kid should be able to grow up and make something
Speaker 2: of themselves and live up to their God given potential.
Speaker 2: It has to start with good schools for any kid.
Speaker 2: By the way, this was one of our founding ideals
Speaker 2: when the Northwest Ordinance created this thing that we now
Speaker 2: call Ohio Right public schools was a revolutionary idea that
Speaker 2: didn't exist and and and so you know, we need
Speaker 2: to have good schools and property tax is currently part
Speaker 2: of the mix. Now here's the problem too, though. If
Speaker 2: you get rid of property taxes, are you relying entirely
Speaker 2: on state level taxation. You don't have local taxation because
Speaker 2: guess what, the people that are paying are making the decisions.
Speaker 2: And so if you want to have local control over
Speaker 2: your schools, you need to have some level of local
Speaker 2: funding as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. It complicates matters just I
Speaker 1: mean beyond my comprehension, And sometimes I think.
Speaker 2: How would this all work? You wouldn't design it this way.
Speaker 2: If you were going to start today to design a state,
Speaker 2: you just wouldn't build it this way. But we're stuck
Speaker 2: with some legacy issues that we need to work through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And on school choice, Indiana has had demonstrably great
Speaker 1: luck with the school choice. They've expanded it, but it's
Speaker 1: proven benefits for the students. The numbers have gone up,
Speaker 1: the reading scores are now in the top ten, their
Speaker 1: math stores are now in the top ten. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't always that way. So I think we should embrace
Speaker 1: that model and run with it.
Speaker 2: We've gone a long way on school choice, We've got
Speaker 2: further to go. Yes, we do, Yes, we do real quick.
Speaker 1: On qualify immunity as qualified immunity men, and speaking of
Speaker 1: ballot isituatives, police do enjoy qualified immunity for the job.
Speaker 2: That they are doing. What's your take on the measure itself. Yeah,
Speaker 2: terrible idea. Imagine a scenario, We're in a completely justifiable
Speaker 2: use of force, So bad guy pulls a gun, police
Speaker 2: officer shoots bad guy, bad guy dies, bad guy's family
Speaker 2: if this past could then personally sue that police officer
Speaker 2: for pain and suffering and lost wages and even a
Speaker 2: completely justifiable situation. And now nobody's going to want to
Speaker 2: be a police officer. If your personal assets, your home,
Speaker 2: your personal wages could be taken away to compensate some
Speaker 2: bad guy's family. It's a crazy idea and it's something
Speaker 2: that really, if it makes the ballot, Ohioan should roundly
Speaker 2: reject it in the name of public safety and standing
Speaker 2: with police. Now, let me be clear, ninety nine point
Speaker 2: nine percent of the time the men and women in
Speaker 2: law enforcement do the right thing. On that fraction of
Speaker 2: a percent. When they don't, they'll face justice for it.
Speaker 2: They need to write and their consequences. But qualified getting
Speaker 2: rid of qualified immunity is a kooky idea.
Speaker 1: I agree completely. It's tough enough getting police who are
Speaker 1: getting citizens to consider entering into law enforcement these days,
Speaker 1: and for someone out there screaming, going, well, if there's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, it was justifiable shooting, then there's no way
Speaker 1: that could be found liable. There's a thing called legal expenses,
Speaker 1: and having to lawyer up and pay that lawyer four
Speaker 1: or five hundred dollars for every hour work is an
Speaker 1: insurmountable challenge in and of itself. Most people can't afford
Speaker 1: that kind of money, and to foist that upon law
Speaker 1: enforcement officers, it's just going to be a horrific thing. So,
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose, a comment on your run for state Auditor,
Speaker 1: just a real brief before we part company this morning. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the auditor has two job, catching crooks that engage
Speaker 2: in public corruption. Anybody that would break the public trust
Speaker 2: by taking tax dollars and put in their own pocket
Speaker 2: needs to be in jail. That happens, unfortunately. I'll do
Speaker 2: that as Auditor of state. The other thing is government efficiency.
Speaker 2: The auditor can come into any of six thousand different
Speaker 2: local and state government offices and find out if they're
Speaker 2: running as smoothly as they should.
Speaker 1: Think about it.
Speaker 2: As Ohio doje, That's how I plan to use it
Speaker 2: to shake the waste out of local and state government.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this. I've got quite a few listeners
Speaker 1: out there right now probably screaming the word medicaid at
Speaker 1: the rate because I know we got some problems during
Speaker 1: the State of Ohiowa.
Speaker 2: Brawd abuse all of that. Yeah, and our current auditor,
Speaker 2: Keith Faber, has has gone a long way. He's done
Speaker 2: an audit of the state medicaid system. But now it's
Speaker 2: time that we implement some of those things. By the way,
Speaker 2: this is why I'm excited for our next governor, who
Speaker 2: I believe is going to be Viviak Ramaswami. I think
Speaker 2: he's the man that's got the courage to actually fix
Speaker 2: the stuff that the auditor finds wrong.
Speaker 1: Boy, he have the backing of the Ohio Republican Party too.
Speaker 1: Was it vote sixty sixty to three or something like that?
Speaker 1: Tell you what, Yeah, is a good man.
Speaker 2: You're seeing a consolidation early because he's a visionary leader
Speaker 2: that actually has the courage to get things done. I
Speaker 2: describe it as you know in the military, you've got
Speaker 2: leaders you have to follow because they've got more rank.
Speaker 2: Is that rare leader that you want to follow? And
Speaker 2: I was the first one back. Yeah, I was the
Speaker 2: first one to back him. I'm out on the campaign
Speaker 2: trail with him all the time, and I think he's
Speaker 2: got the potential to be the most transformative governor of
Speaker 2: our generation.
Speaker 1: I share your belief in that. I truly do. Frank Lrose.
Speaker 1: It has been a real pleasure and thanks for stopping
Speaker 1: in the studio this morning, folks, stick around. Coming up,
Speaker 1: Tim Keller, founder of the US Diabetes Carry, is going

Speaker 7: KRC LEAVE talk Station.
Speaker 1: Seven thirty one fifty foo KRCD talk Station. Very Happy Friday,
Speaker 1: Eve to you. Happy to welcome to the fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC Morning Show. Tim Keller. He is the founder of
Speaker 1: US Diabetes Care, bringing over thirty five years of healthcare
Speaker 1: experience to his role and founder of USDC US Diabetes Carrer.
Speaker 1: He started his career at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center
Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty nine. Rows to the ranks, held
Speaker 1: key roles at Striker as well as Smith and Nephew Orthopedics,
Speaker 1: where he built strong partnerships with physicians and led national
Speaker 1: distribution efforts. But after being diagnosed with diabetes himself, he
Speaker 1: saw a major gap in care with conditions like pre diabetes,
Speaker 1: type two, type three, gestational diabetes, as well as in
Speaker 1: and resistance US Diabetes Care. As the result of that awakening,
Speaker 1: a program built to help people reverse these conditions through
Speaker 1: expert led education, proven tools, better access to care, and
Speaker 1: a comprehensive approach that puts long term health first. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the program, Tim Kellert. It's a real pleasure to
Speaker 1: have you on.
Speaker 12: Thank you, good morning, A pleasure to be on.
Speaker 1: But it's timing is really interesting because I woke up
Speaker 1: this morning and I was going through my notes and
Speaker 1: looking at the updated news, and I always refer to
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. There's their headline right there. How
Speaker 1: chronic disease became the biggest scourge in American health and
Speaker 1: diabetes number three on the list of common chronic conditions,
Speaker 1: with about fifteen percent of the US population dealing with diabetes.
Speaker 1: And this has gone up over the years, hasn't it.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's been a real problem in the United
Speaker 1: States with a growing problem with diabetes. Yes, I mean diabetes.
Speaker 9: Right now, we have ninety three million pre diabetics in
Speaker 9: the country, well thirty nine registered diabetics, which means on
Speaker 9: a Medicare Medicaid numbers. They're registered as you know, type two,
Speaker 9: which means A and C above seven. The reality is
Speaker 9: is pre DIBs. I don't really buy into that whole
Speaker 9: pre DIBs. I tell people you're not pre pregnant mean
Speaker 9: either you're diabetic, you're not. They've they've diagnosed pre ibs
Speaker 9: from A five, six or seven, oh, A and C
Speaker 9: so they can sell more drugs. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 9: very simple. If there is a precondition, it's a good
Speaker 9: place to get a diabetic because we can make lifestyle
Speaker 9: changes through education that can really reverse the disease pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Reverse by meaning if you are diabetic, you can at
Speaker 1: some point in your life maybe no longer be diabetic.
Speaker 1: Now does that depend on the type of diabetes you
Speaker 1: are diagnosed with?
Speaker 12: Absolutely so type.
Speaker 9: One autoimmune you're intdependent. You can't you're not doing uploading
Speaker 9: to the muscle for lucagon. So that's kind of a
Speaker 9: you know, a way different disease. But TYE two, type
Speaker 9: three baster, type three dementia, destation of diabetes in some resistance,
Speaker 9: all those things can be reversed.
Speaker 1: And what is the problem. And we also have a
Speaker 1: growing obesity problem. Quite often obesity is cited as one
Speaker 1: of the things that might lead you to having diabetes.
Speaker 1: This is all about our diet.
Speaker 9: Absolutely. So you know, big Pharma, big medical, they got
Speaker 9: they got together with the processed food industry convinced of it.
Speaker 9: And there's no money in a cure, so came up
Speaker 9: with a bunch of ideals around food to make us thick.
Speaker 9: The whole inner aisle of the grocery stores fast foods
Speaker 9: are filled with you know, saturated fats, processed fats, refined foods,
Speaker 9: refine wheat, hypertuos, corn strup, processed sugar, flour, hydrizing, and
Speaker 9: nice wheat. And these are all chemical poisons in these
Speaker 9: foods that are quite honestly killing Americans. And you know
Speaker 9: that's interesting. I saw that in the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 9: as well. But I'm not buying that diabetes is the
Speaker 9: number three calls because people are dying of heart disease.
Speaker 9: Guarantee their bottom line is because of diabetes. If somebody
Speaker 9: dies or heart attack or stroke, to say, oh, they
Speaker 9: had died a heart attack or stroke, but really the
Speaker 9: underline tradition will get them with diabetes.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'll tell you what. Let's pause, We'll bring you back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit more about this very important topic, diabetes.
Speaker 1: Tim Keller, founder of US Diabetes Care. In this website,
Speaker 1: I'll give you the details on that when we return. First,
Speaker 1: USA Insulation an outstanding product for all. If you have
Speaker 1: an underinsulated or uninsulated home, you need USA's premium foam
Speaker 1: in the exterior walls because first off, you're going to
Speaker 1: be more comfortable from day one. You'll notice the improvement
Speaker 1: in the circulation of that air, whether it's in the
Speaker 1: summertime with the AC or of course winter with the
Speaker 1: eating system. So get that one or two rooms out
Speaker 1: there that never seem to be comfortable, they'll be comfortable again.
Speaker 1: And the more important part, as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 1: saving money savings is guaranteed from USA Insallation. It's like
Speaker 1: better than the stock market. There's a guaranteed return on investment.
Speaker 1: You're going to get the savings every single month you're
Speaker 1: using the HVAC system. And it is a substantial savings
Speaker 1: for many many people, so much so that it may
Speaker 1: very well cover the ninety nine dollars a month interest
Speaker 1: free to get the foam in the home. US Insulation
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars a month interest free. Now call them.
Speaker 1: They'll inspect your house for free, give you a free
Speaker 1: quote so you can determine whether or not you are

Speaker 7: chuck ing Ramont fifty five kre and see the talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven thirty nine on a Thursday, Brian Thomas with Tim Keller.
Speaker 1: He's with US Diabetes Care, which you can find a
Speaker 1: lot of US diabetescare dot com, which makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1: We're talking about diabetes and apparently you can reverse it
Speaker 1: and that's what they're all about, not just using drugs
Speaker 1: and lifetime a lifelong use of medications and all that,
Speaker 1: but they focus on reversal there, so you can reverse
Speaker 1: type two, type three gestational and insulin resistance in I
Speaker 1: think that's pretty clearly what you said in the last segment.
Speaker 1: I guess it boils down to a simple question.
Speaker 12: How.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so you know, but the actually infant resistance is
Speaker 9: a precursor for diabetes TYE two type three.
Speaker 4: Gestational diabetes is all.
Speaker 9: A sentiment instant resistance. An infant resistance starts from uploading
Speaker 9: the muscle earlier than it becomes a hyperglycemia in the body.
Speaker 9: So what we do is we basically do a lifestyle platform,
Speaker 9: lumble into education, blue zone, educate people into mind so
Speaker 9: they can make lifestyle choices to fix your body. And
Speaker 9: it's real simple, Brian. I mean a get moving, exercise, hydration,
Speaker 9: a lot of water, fiber, you know, increase your fiber,
Speaker 9: and take eat a lot more fruits and vegetables. Westerny's
Speaker 9: medicine is broken. Doctors don't have any nutrition training at all.
Speaker 9: They treat a symptom, not a patient, and they have
Speaker 9: very little education around nutrition. They tell diabetics they can't
Speaker 9: eat fruit. It's the most ridiculous lie. For all the
Speaker 9: fruits and vegetables you want actually, and you know, lend
Speaker 9: me your meat intake. The problem is there is a
Speaker 9: lot of the meat that we're sourcing is you know, blockbuster,
Speaker 9: a big process to agriculture meat, which is been people
Speaker 9: are consuming meat breakfast, lunch to dinner for every meal.
Speaker 9: It's just unnecessary, it's inflammatory. And then all the processed
Speaker 9: foods are throwing on top of it, It creates an
Speaker 9: intelliate lipid fat in your cells, which fells the metabolic
Speaker 9: stelluar dysfunction and the lifestyle changes we we we've got
Speaker 9: about a ninety percent reversal rate of diabetes on people
Speaker 9: to actually finish and graduate from our program through education.
Speaker 1: Well how about that? Now? What is the story on carves?
Speaker 11: Now?
Speaker 1: I'm staring at the modern current food pyramid, which is
Speaker 1: different from what I was taught as a child. And
Speaker 1: who created the food pyramid? And are we supposed to
Speaker 1: really truly consume thirty percent of our diet in the
Speaker 1: form of carves because I thought carbs were We learned
Speaker 1: that carves were the problem, or at least were a problem.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So carbs, you know, is always the confusing part,
Speaker 9: and that's where education comes in. There's healthy carbs and
Speaker 9: there's bad carbs. The bad carbs or anything from process
Speaker 9: white foods, process flour, so anything like baked goods, breads,
Speaker 9: you know, anything that's white, we say isn't right. So,
Speaker 9: you know, those kinds of carbs are bad for you.
Speaker 9: But there's carbs and fruits and vegetables that are good
Speaker 9: for you. So we try to have people focus on
Speaker 9: good carbs and not bad carbs.
Speaker 1: Well, what about the idea of I'm sure that you're
Speaker 1: an opponent of consuming process sugary foods and my experience
Speaker 1: with that, I learned that there's a direct correlation with
Speaker 1: sugar intake and cancer because cancer apparently loves sugar, and
Speaker 1: I've been diagnosed with lymphoma. So I thought. I took
Speaker 1: it upon myself last October to try to cut almost
Speaker 1: every single added sugar out of my diet along with
Speaker 1: curving carbs. I end up losing about twenty pounds and
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better. Tim That's kind of why
Speaker 1: I bring it up. But uh, what I learned over
Speaker 1: the process though, by reading labels, sugar is everywhere. It's
Speaker 1: in everything added sugars. I kind even quit eating ketchup
Speaker 1: because there's like a whole bunch of it in the tablespood.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's sugar is literally, and the problem is it's Brian,
Speaker 9: It's not just sugar, it's processed sugar. Yeah, and there
Speaker 9: you know there's a link to processed sugar bean is
Speaker 9: it is more addictive than cocaine. Okay, So there's studies
Speaker 9: all over with that and for the children and all
Speaker 9: the process foods, they're pretting this in everything, So you
Speaker 9: wonder why these kids have addiction to refine processed foods
Speaker 9: and living a lot much more sanitary lifestyle and in
Speaker 9: bract of cancer. You know, this is the thing about
Speaker 9: our lifestyle for diabetes. You start founding our lifestyle for diabetes,
Speaker 9: I mean, we're we can help you, you know, curve.
Speaker 9: You know cancer as well, Cancer lives in the cnic environment,
Speaker 9: right and they acid dry as a cancer and a
Speaker 9: lot of that acid comes from sugar. So if you
Speaker 9: stuff off sugar and the acid in the body, cancer
Speaker 9: can't survive. So you know, there's no guarantee around that.
Speaker 9: But you know, we've had patients you know, ironically that
Speaker 9: have diabetes and cancer on our lifestyle platform and they've
Speaker 9: been able to reverse their disease.
Speaker 1: And that lifestyle platform at us diabetescare dot com. So
Speaker 1: what what services do you offer there that that my
Speaker 1: listeners could take advantage of to the ese stents they're
Speaker 1: dealing with these problems.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we're full of the Transition program Care diabet
Speaker 9: Clinic as well, so we do you know, clinical diabetes,
Speaker 9: We have everything underrun roof so basically do automot nervous
Speaker 9: system tests brain stands in house neurologists, so we deal
Speaker 9: a lot with the type three after demensied diabetes and
Speaker 9: then from a you know, obviously we have two large
Speaker 9: education classes where we do live education and I think
Speaker 9: you know once again we have it through and a
Speaker 9: half now as well as dibescare dot com. You can
Speaker 9: go to our website, hit learn more tab and get
Speaker 9: our app through there are you can go on Apple
Speaker 9: and Android the App Store and usib's Career Education and
Speaker 9: get our app that way. But the key to all this,
Speaker 9: you know, taking apart the clinical side, is for everybody
Speaker 9: who's really educated about the truth about diabetes. We talk
Speaker 9: about more thanch is what you put in your mouth.
Speaker 9: We talk about oxidative stress. We talk about healthy fats,
Speaker 9: good versus good fats. We talk about brain health and beyond.
Speaker 9: I mean, we really dive into things that people just
Speaker 9: aren't learning in regular western ice medicine. And you can't
Speaker 9: learn it when you have a two hour wait in
Speaker 9: the way room and you get a five minute appointment.
Speaker 9: You're not going to change somebody's life.
Speaker 1: That way, no question. Tim it's I mean, western medicine
Speaker 1: does it just treats the symptom. But I don't know
Speaker 1: how you feel about RFK Junior, But I'm kind of
Speaker 1: excited that he's sort of bringing this proactivity, getting in
Speaker 1: front of the disease and starting out with a more
Speaker 1: healthy lifestyle in order to prevent it from occurring in
Speaker 1: the first instance. And I think that's a more practical
Speaker 1: and common sense approach to dealing with it. But as
Speaker 1: you point out, you know, one of the big elephants
Speaker 1: in the room is the existence of these pharmaceutical companies
Speaker 1: and they're in the business of getting people to pop pills.
Speaker 1: That's how they make their money, and they're happy to
Speaker 1: see more and more people have to pop them or
Speaker 1: you know, buy the insulin.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and the RFK juniors got a big task in
Speaker 9: front of them. But I like what he's doing, you know,
Speaker 9: I like the Donald Trump passed the Executive Order for
Speaker 9: the Decrease in Drugs. I think along with that, they
Speaker 9: have to pass an executive order to get rid of
Speaker 9: these prior authorizations, which is the mental band that deny
Speaker 9: these drugs when patients go to the pharmacy to try
Speaker 9: to get them or make them two way too costly.
Speaker 9: I mean, like Jardians, which is one of the best
Speaker 9: drugs out there for diabets right now. I mean, we're
Speaker 9: our goal to get people off. But if there's a
Speaker 9: good drugs, Juardians is a really good drug and it's
Speaker 9: like thirteen hundred dollars on homes cash out of pocket,
Speaker 9: and means who can afford that? And so we and
Speaker 9: we spend a lot of time fighting with the insurance
Speaker 9: companies to pay for these drugs for diabets that really
Speaker 9: need them, and so that that's a big problem too.
Speaker 9: So I think along with you know, the thirty percent off,
Speaker 9: they need to you know, look into the middleman of
Speaker 9: the drugs too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pharmacy benefit managers. Get rid of those. Boy,
Speaker 1: that would streamline the process. Wouldn't take a lot of
Speaker 1: the cost out of there.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: US Diabeticscare dot Com are us diabetescare dot com where
Speaker 1: you find Tim Keller and the tips and information about
Speaker 1: diabetes along with the opportunity to get the app if
Speaker 1: you're so inclined. Tim, I appreciate you giving out the

Speaker 1: had asked out loud, because that's something that the devil
Speaker 1: rocrats have been advocating for for a long time, lowering
Speaker 1: the cost of pharmaceuticals, lower the cost of pharmaceuticals? Are
Speaker 1: you going to accomplish that? So lo and behold. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump comes up with the executive order and says, here's
Speaker 1: how you do it. Most Favored Nation status that whoever's
Speaker 1: out there paying the least price for a pharmaceutical, they're
Speaker 1: working with the pharmaceutical companies. How is it that Europe
Speaker 1: gets their drugs for cheaper than the United States. How
Speaker 1: is it the candidate gets there's cheaper than the United States? Well,
Speaker 1: I guess because socialized medicine. They pleaded the pharmaceutical companies
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know, go builk the Americans for
Speaker 1: the high cost of medicine. They'll fund your research and
Speaker 1: development and your profits. We need a cheaper price. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess it's time to spread the spread the burden
Speaker 1: on a broader number of people in the world. So
Speaker 1: that's what's going on. I had asked, what you go,
Speaker 1: how are the Democrats going to object to this? Because
Speaker 1: you know, anything evil Orange Man does, they're going to
Speaker 1: say no to It doesn't matter how much sense it makes.
Speaker 1: If this Trump arrangement syndrome, it's built into literally everything. Well,
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised. The Representative ro Kana, no right
Speaker 1: winger ro Kana, Democrat out of California, has introduced legislations
Speaker 1: to codify President Trump's executive order. Say that's the right
Speaker 1: thing to do. Today introduced bipartisan legislation to codify Trump's
Speaker 1: executive order ensuring Americans do not pay more than people
Speaker 1: in other countries for drugs, asking Congressional members to stand
Speaker 1: with Rocana in codifying the executive order. So this is
Speaker 1: one that they're not going to stand in the way of.
Speaker 1: At least there's one that's not going to stand in
Speaker 1: the way of it. So good, let's hope that that
Speaker 1: bears fruit seven fifty five fifty five KRC, the talk station.

Speaker 1: Paul Winfrey, President CEO of an organization called the Economic
Speaker 1: Policy Innovation Center. He served a top management policy roles
Speaker 1: in the White House, US Senate as well as think tanks,
Speaker 1: and during the first Trump administration. He served as the
Speaker 1: Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and Deputy
Speaker 1: Director of Domestic Policy Council. His research has been featured
Speaker 1: in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Investors,
Speaker 1: Business Daily, The USA Today, in Congressional Quartery, among other publications.
Speaker 1: Also the author of the History and Future of the
Speaker 1: Budget Process in the United States. Doctor Winfree, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the program. It's a real pleasure to have you on, sir.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Well. When you
Speaker 1: read the news, you think the world is coming to
Speaker 1: an end. Oh my god, eight point six million people
Speaker 1: are going to be deprived of healthcare if these reforms
Speaker 1: go in that the Republicans are talking about. Let us
Speaker 1: start with it seems to me that many of the
Speaker 1: Democrats who are railing against requiring people who are able
Speaker 1: bodied in their prime work years to actually participate and
Speaker 1: work or do something for twenty hours a week, they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be on Medicaid. Can you remind my listeners who
Speaker 1: may be on this fence and about the issue what
Speaker 1: Medicaid was originally designed to do.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. I mean, if you break down the
Speaker 4: eight million person number, or the eight million lost coverage number.
Speaker 4: One point four million of those folks are illegal immigrants.
Speaker 4: One and a half million of them are not eligible
Speaker 4: for Medicaid, but they've been retained on the program by
Speaker 4: regulations that are promulgated by the Biden administration. Another couple
Speaker 4: of million are people who don't even exist right now,
Speaker 4: but CBO says may this in the future and maybe
Speaker 4: eligible for Medicaid. And everybody else are working age adults
Speaker 4: who are healthy and currently on the program and don't
Speaker 4: have any don't have any requirement to work. When the
Speaker 4: program was created, as you mentioned, in the nineteen sixties,
Speaker 4: this was a program for the vulnerable folks, the disabled,
Speaker 4: the blind, pregnant moms and kids. And what we've seen
Speaker 4: over the last ten years is the program has evolved
Speaker 4: to benefit the healthy adults without dependence over the truly vulnerable,
Speaker 4: which is changing the way that medicine is delivered and
Speaker 4: ultimately making it harder for folks who truly need the
Speaker 4: Medicaid program to see to see doctors, and to get
Speaker 4: the healthcare that they ultimately need.
Speaker 1: So what they've done is they've undermined Medicaid's original intent.
Speaker 1: They put all these people on who weren't eligible for
Speaker 1: it originally. How is it that it expanded so much
Speaker 1: and people didn't say, well, well, whoa, whoa, we're we're
Speaker 1: this has gone way beyond the scope of what was
Speaker 1: truly intended. Yeah, So get this.
Speaker 4: When Obamacare was created in twenty ten, and then it
Speaker 4: expanded the medicaid program to the healthy adults in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 4: they knew that states would be disinclined to expand Medicaid
Speaker 4: to the healthy population because it would have added to
Speaker 4: their state budgets. And so what they did is they
Speaker 4: set up a new financing structure that rewards states for
Speaker 4: enrolling healthy adults.
Speaker 11: So for every one.
Speaker 4: Dollar that states spend, they get nine dollars from the
Speaker 4: federal government if they enroll in help healthy adults without kids,
Speaker 4: and they get a dollar thirty three for every dollar
Speaker 4: that they spend for every pregnant mom, disabled person, blind person,
Speaker 4: elderly person or child that they put on the Medicaid program.
Speaker 4: And so if you think about it that way from
Speaker 4: a state's perspective, they're literally rewarded by the federal government
Speaker 4: for enrolling and shifting medicine towards it's healthy adults over
Speaker 4: people who truly need it, and and that those those
Speaker 4: incentives have become even more strengthened because of some Biden
Speaker 4: regulations that have been pushed out over the last four
Speaker 4: years that have just accelerated that and encouraged states even
Speaker 4: more to take up the Obamacare expansion. And that's that's
Speaker 4: that's really what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: So the left has been advocating for universal health care.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was supposed to Obamacare is supposed to
Speaker 1: do that. I know Hillary Clinton never to do it
Speaker 1: back when she was the first Lady, but obviously it
Speaker 1: didn't go through then. But this sounds just like a
Speaker 1: nefarious backdoor mechanism to create that reality because more and
Speaker 1: more people are expanded put on Medicaid and are not
Speaker 1: in private insurance or or dealing with it on their own.
Speaker 10: Is that that kind of what's actually unfolding here, Bingo,
Speaker 10: You're exactly right. So the left has been talking for
Speaker 10: years about medicare for all. Right, Bernie Sanders has been
Speaker 10: talking about medicare for all for years.
Speaker 4: You've got bills to do this. Democrats in the House, AOC,
Speaker 4: they also have.
Speaker 1: Bills to do this.
Speaker 4: The real Trojan horse here is that it was never
Speaker 4: intended to be Medicare for all. It was intended to
Speaker 4: be Medicaid for all. And one of the big differences
Speaker 4: the seniors know between Medicare and Medicaid is that doctors
Speaker 4: get paid much less for seeing the vulnerable population in
Speaker 4: Medicaid than they do for Medicare or private health insurance
Speaker 4: or even Medicaid for the healthy adults because of the
Speaker 4: incentive structure to push medicine towards the healthy adults in
Speaker 4: the Medicaid program. What that means is that right now
Speaker 4: today there are about seven hundred and ten thousand disabled
Speaker 4: Americans on Medicaid waitlists to get things like home health
Speaker 4: care because the states have again been incentivized not to
Speaker 4: spend on that population because that's what the federal government
Speaker 4: has been telling them to do. And if they keep
Speaker 4: moving this in the tenet non expansion states expand Meday
Speaker 4: cave like Texas and Florida and Georgia, then we are
Speaker 4: going to become that much closer to a Medicaid for
Speaker 4: all system where there's just a takeover of healthcare and
Speaker 4: it's all run out of HHS. That's where we're going
Speaker 4: right now. Eighty million Americans are on Medicaid, a program
Speaker 4: that was originally intended to.
Speaker 1: Be for the truly vulnerable. And I know you've pointed
Speaker 1: out in your research, in your in your writings on
Speaker 1: this that states exploit medical medicaid with with what you
Speaker 1: referred to as loopholes, private provider taxes and state directed payments,
Speaker 1: which you I think referred to as money laundering schemes.
Speaker 1: How do these work? And isn't this a reform that
Speaker 1: should be incorporated into what the Republicans are trying to
Speaker 1: do right now?
Speaker 4: So the medicaid provider taxes, if the private sector were
Speaker 4: to do this, it would be illegal.
Speaker 1: People will go to jail. Literally.
Speaker 4: What happens is that the states tax medicaid providers, insurers,
Speaker 4: and hospitals in particular. They then re the same amount
Speaker 4: of money that they're taxing the hospitals and the insurance,
Speaker 4: So they pay the insurers and the hospitals to pay
Speaker 4: the tax. They then build the federal government for the
Speaker 4: amount of that tax, and the federal government reimburses the state.
Speaker 4: The states then split the money that they get from
Speaker 4: the federal government with the providers, so they send it
Speaker 4: to the insurers and through higher capitation rates or higher premiums,
Speaker 4: and they send it to the hospitals to higher payments.
Speaker 4: But here's the really wild thing that's going on here again.
Speaker 4: Because states get nine dollars from the federal government for
Speaker 4: every one dollar that they spend on the healthy population,
Speaker 4: they're incentivized to gain this in particular in the direction
Speaker 4: of the healthy population. And so what we're seeing right
Speaker 4: now play out in quite literally real time is that
Speaker 4: there's a collusion between state governments and the hospitals and
Speaker 4: the insurers to figure out ways in which they can
Speaker 4: increase premiums and prices for the healthy adult population to
Speaker 4: take advantage of these money laundering schemes. And what that's
Speaker 4: doing is it's quite literally redirecting the way that medicine
Speaker 4: is delivered so that the vulnerable folks don't want to
Speaker 4: be seen by doctors. Rather, the doctors want to see
Speaker 4: healthy folks because they get paid more for seeing them
Speaker 4: by the federal and state governments. And if in personally,
Speaker 4: I mean just as a as a tax paying American,
Speaker 4: I think that that's wrong and I don't want to
Speaker 4: see my own my own tax dollars go for things like.
Speaker 1: That that structure is just I'm just my mind is
Speaker 1: boggled by this, doctor Winfrey. And then that's the way
Speaker 1: it exists, creating zero incentive whatsoever for states that want
Speaker 1: to reign in or or ride heard over the Medicaid
Speaker 1: dollars that are being spent. I mean, there's zero incentive there.
Speaker 1: Their zero incentive. And we've seen, I mean, your listeners.
Speaker 4: Know exactly the states that have abused us the most
Speaker 4: without me even saying the name's California and New York.
Speaker 4: But California and New York have used these money long
Speaker 4: during scams to funnel more and more money back to
Speaker 4: the back back to the state governments from the Feil government.
Speaker 4: They've then used the profits from these money laundering scams
Speaker 4: to provide health insurance Medicaid for illegal immigrants, but also
Speaker 4: to pay for things that have absolutely nothing to do
Speaker 4: with healthcare to fund budget shortfalls in their own states.
Speaker 4: And they're doing this on the backs of Medicaid. They're
Speaker 4: literally using Medicaid to funnel federal money back to the
Speaker 4: state to fund their budget fund their budget shortfalls. And
Speaker 4: so Congress is looking right now at closing or at
Speaker 4: least limiting some of those loopholes, But really I think
Speaker 4: that they can go even even further than than what they're.
Speaker 1: Doing well, And you know, it's sort of I wish
Speaker 1: the American public who could listen to this particular interview
Speaker 1: now or at least have the understanding that doctor Winfrey
Speaker 1: here has, because then they would easily reject these screams
Speaker 1: and wailing and gnashing of teeth about all these eight
Speaker 1: million people are going to lose their medical benefits because
Speaker 1: as you describe it, of course clearly they shouldn't have
Speaker 1: them anyway. But the idea that this system has been
Speaker 1: so upside down that it incentivizes treating the healthy people
Speaker 1: to the exclusion of the original point of medicaid, I
Speaker 1: think would rile people up and will be anger.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. The Congressional Budget Office just last week
Speaker 4: put out a letter that said that if you reduced
Speaker 4: the f MAP, or the amount of the federal contribution
Speaker 4: for the healthy population down to the down to the
Speaker 4: rate that the phligarment paced for the vulnerable population, it
Speaker 4: will save about seventy one billion dollars a year. At
Speaker 4: the same time, only about two million people will become uninsured.
Speaker 4: Based on their estimates, If you divide the seventy one
Speaker 4: billion by the two million, you get about thirty thousand
Speaker 4: dollars a year that the federal government is paying to
Speaker 4: ensure the marginal person on the Medicaid program, even though
Speaker 4: the even though the federal government tells us that it
Speaker 4: only costs about eight thousand dollars to ensure a person
Speaker 4: on Medicaid. So one has to ask the question where
Speaker 4: did the other twenty two thousand dollars go? And the
Speaker 4: answer is that it's being channeled to the state governments
Speaker 4: and the insurers and the hospitals, which is why those
Speaker 4: groups are the ones that are actually panicking about what
Speaker 4: Congress is doing right now and trying to incite a
Speaker 4: riot in Washington, DC amongst the vulnerable Medicaid recipients.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the lobbying frenzy that's going on
Speaker 1: right now in DC given this as a topic of
Speaker 1: conversation with reconciliation.
Speaker 4: It's absolutely incredible. And let me give you another just
Speaker 4: a quick fact here that really surprised me when I
Speaker 4: discovered it a couple of months ago, and that is
Speaker 4: is that the highest compensated healthcare insurance CEO in the
Speaker 4: country is a Medicaid managed care provider. He covers Medicaid recipients.
Speaker 4: Eighty eight percent of his beneficiaries are on Medicaid, the
Speaker 4: rest are on the other twelve percent are either on
Speaker 4: Obamacare subsidized plans or Medicare advantage plan. They cover about
Speaker 4: five point two million people in America. This is the
Speaker 4: highest compensated health insurance CEO.
Speaker 1: In the country.
Speaker 4: And you know, like, I don't you want to speak
Speaker 4: for other people, but I personally believe that, you know,
Speaker 4: we shouldn't be creating a system where you can get
Speaker 4: rich off of providing welfare to people, right, I think
Speaker 4: that that's wrong, and also one in which one hundred
Speaker 4: percent of your revenue is connected to the federal government. Right, Like,
Speaker 4: we should, you know, we should have a better profit
Speaker 4: motive for people who could make money by actually improving
Speaker 4: people's lives and making them healthier.
Speaker 1: Amen to that sounds like a lot of the problems
Speaker 1: we're have with non governmental organizations just generally speaking. I mean,
Speaker 1: they exist to create jobs for the people that work
Speaker 1: within the organizations and taking federal taxpayer dollars and really
Speaker 1: I think going out into the world and literally accomplishing
Speaker 1: nothing except perhaps letting the money loop back a little
Speaker 1: bit to line the pockets of politicians in DC. Bingo.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly right.
Speaker 4: And you know, one of the things actually, you know,
Speaker 4: that we've been talking to some of the Members of
Speaker 4: Commerce about is that there's pretty good data on how
Speaker 4: when you expand Medicaid and other welfare programs, democratic turnout
Speaker 4: in democratic counties goes up. And the reason for that
Speaker 4: is because the healthcare industrial and welfare industrial complex uses
Speaker 4: these NGOs that are are that are far left in
Speaker 4: many cases, like Planned Parenthood and others to help them
Speaker 4: and enroll people. And then that gives those same NGO's
Speaker 4: access to you know, names and addresses, which allows them
Speaker 4: to go out and and increase turnout right and into
Speaker 4: put into the harvest and uh and so you know,
Speaker 4: by by expanding the welfare state, not only are we
Speaker 4: creating a culture of dependency, but we're also creating a
Speaker 4: culture that feeds one party, one political party over the other.
Speaker 4: And that's intentional. They that's they they know that that's
Speaker 4: what they're doing.
Speaker 1: We are You didn't you didn't come looking for an
Speaker 1: argument today, doctor Paul Winfrey. Unbelievable, so so revealing, and
Speaker 1: so nefarious. If I can boil down this entire concept
Speaker 1: of what's gone on and what's what's unfolded over the
Speaker 1: years with Medicaid, EPIC, ep I CE, epic for America
Speaker 1: dot org, really valuable website you've got going there, and
Speaker 1: the work that you're doing there is just is so important. Doctor.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for spending time with my listeners
Speaker 1: and enlightening them and me on the how bad this
Speaker 1: is out there, and let's keep our fingers crossed and
Speaker 1: we do get some reform passed, because this is a
Speaker 1: this is a sinking ship round. This is just one
Speaker 1: part of the of the budget and clearly we have
Speaker 1: outspent ourselves to a degree that I think it's an
Speaker 1: existential threat to our existence as a country. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much for having me. I really appreciate it. It's
Speaker 1: been my pleasure, sir. Thank you. Eight twenty one fifty

Speaker 1: made extra special because this is the time of week
Speaker 1: when we get to talk to iHeart met the aviation
Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratlift. Jay Rattlift, Welcome back, my friend. I
Speaker 1: always love having you on the show.
Speaker 12: Highlight of my week.
Speaker 1: Brother, I appreciate that so much, and it's not much
Speaker 1: of a curveball. And I just want to talk to
Speaker 1: you briefly, even though it's not on your list. The
Speaker 1: jet that cutter is offering President Donald Trump to serve
Speaker 1: as a new air Force one. I think the optics
Speaker 1: of it look bad. Just don't even go down that road,
Speaker 1: was my just initial reaction, the Democrats pulling their hair out,
Speaker 1: saying it's a bribe or whatever. It's a violation of
Speaker 1: the law. Anyway, it serves to give them some talking
Speaker 1: point because they literally have nothing to talk about. But
Speaker 1: it's not just that simple, because as I've read, according
Speaker 1: to three aviation experts feed with nbcn IS, it would
Speaker 1: cost more than a billion dollars and take years to
Speaker 1: retrofit it. So this isn't exactly a great deal.
Speaker 9: Is it.
Speaker 4: It is not.
Speaker 14: But you know, if President Trump, it's always about he
Speaker 14: always gets from point A to point B.
Speaker 12: We may not like how he gets there, but he doesn't.
Speaker 14: And I always wonder if this, a lot like the
Speaker 14: initial tariff talks, is designed for another purpose.
Speaker 12: So I don't know if it's he doesn't have to negotiate.
Speaker 14: With Boeing because all that's locked in as far as
Speaker 14: what the government's paying for the next air Force one.
Speaker 14: But it's been delayed, delayed, delayed, and well, I'll be
Speaker 14: interested to see how far this progresses.
Speaker 1: Well maybe that's the point. He knows about everything I
Speaker 1: mentioned in optics and all of that. But maybe by saying, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a brain, I'm gonna get a fairly
Speaker 1: new airport right out of the gate. It's going to
Speaker 1: be delivered. And by the way, Boeing, where's mine? I mean,
Speaker 1: that thing's been in order for years and years and
Speaker 1: it's not scheduled to be delivered.
Speaker 14: And so what year Jay is like, I don't think
Speaker 14: he'll I don't think he'll fly in it as president.
Speaker 14: So he may get on it as he you know,
Speaker 14: as he departs Washington, DC at the end of this term.
Speaker 14: Maybe if he's lucky. I don't think they'll have it
Speaker 14: ready by then, because the initial delivery time is one thing.
Speaker 14: But this thing's been delayed so many times. I don't
Speaker 14: believe anything Boeing says. I think it's gonna be delayed,
Speaker 14: should be delayed even further.
Speaker 1: Wow, you messing with the wrong customer. I would think
Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America, regardless of
Speaker 1: what political stripe he bears. If you're just if you're
Speaker 1: not delivering on something that's been ordered forever, you'd think
Speaker 1: that they would allocate the necessary resources to at least
Speaker 1: getting that project done and moved ahead. Just because the
Speaker 1: optics are so bad given everything else that's going on
Speaker 1: with the company.
Speaker 14: Well, you know, if you're if you're gonna be late
Speaker 14: delivering aircraft to Ryan Air in Europe, that may fly
Speaker 14: under the radar here. Yeah, if you're going to be
Speaker 14: late in delivering air Force air Force one excuse me,
Speaker 14: I think somebody's gonna notice. So you're right, that should
Speaker 14: be a priority.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think the board of directors would recognize that
Speaker 1: as a priority since it makes the news fairly regularly,
Speaker 1: and now even more so. Going back to your point
Speaker 1: of reason, maybe why he wants to accept the plane
Speaker 1: is this elevates everybody's attention to it. In the context
Speaker 1: of this conversation, you know, the American population might be saying, hey,
Speaker 1: why don't you buy it from an American Manufacturer's like, well,
Speaker 1: we've been trying to do that now for the past
Speaker 1: fifteen years. But they're not delivering right.
Speaker 14: And it also makes the people that are jump backing
Speaker 14: up and down on the other side, nipping at his heels, yeah,
Speaker 14: look even more full. It's like when Sean Duffy, the
Speaker 14: Transportation Secretary, had his wife's upcoming flight adjusted, or she's
Speaker 14: gonna be flying out of JFK instead of Newark because
Speaker 14: there's a lot of delays.
Speaker 12: She's going to a conference. He wants her to be
Speaker 12: on time.
Speaker 14: But the minute that happens, it's a matter of, well,
Speaker 14: you did that because it's not safe to fly out
Speaker 14: of Newark. That's not safe to fly out of Newark
Speaker 14: because what President Trump has done in the last one
Speaker 14: hundred days. And of course that's ridiculous. Everybody, well most
Speaker 14: everybody recognized is that. But Brian, I mean, I've been
Speaker 14: getting emails from people all over the country ever since
Speaker 14: this mess started saying, Jay, would you go through Newark?
Speaker 14: And I said no, not if I could avoid it,
Speaker 14: And so all he did was a just things as
Speaker 14: you and I would. It's a lot like, Okay, it's January,
Speaker 14: I'm flying United. Am I going to connect through Chicago
Speaker 14: for Houston? I think I'll choose Houston because we know
Speaker 14: what happens in Chicago in the month of January. So
Speaker 14: when they make these ridiculous arguments, it's like, that's really
Speaker 14: what you want to jump up and down on. That's
Speaker 14: the point you're going to try to make to make
Speaker 14: yourself look I don't know better politically, it's stupidity, and
Speaker 14: I did. I just don't get well. I'm glad I
Speaker 14: don't get it because you and I don't think that way.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't think that way. We try to stay
Speaker 1: a little bit closer updated on the actual realities that
Speaker 1: we're dealing with day in and day out, rather than
Speaker 1: just clinging to some ridiculous SoundBite it's not based on facts.
Speaker 1: Let's bring Jay Ratliffe back. We will talk about the
Speaker 1: outage at Newark, which seems to be happen more often,
Speaker 1: getting parts from eBay more with Jay alive. After these
Speaker 1: brief words up, you can stick around fifty five.
Speaker 5: Krc's had a number of surgeries.
Speaker 1: He's all right. I heard media aviation expert. We get
Speaker 1: him every Thursday between eight thirty and the close of
Speaker 1: the show, and it's an enjoyable experience for me. I
Speaker 1: know my listeners enjoy hearing from you. Jay and maybe
Speaker 1: you can explain what the hell is going on at
Speaker 1: Newark Airport. I was laughing because he said, would you
Speaker 1: want to would you want to fly through Newark and
Speaker 1: or you know, layover in Newark? And I think my
Speaker 1: initial reaction, regardless of the status of the air traffic
Speaker 1: control system, will we know right out of the gate,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to Newark for any reason.
Speaker 1: But most notably they have made the news regularly lately
Speaker 1: with their with the outages. So what's the story behind
Speaker 1: this one, Jay.
Speaker 14: Well, we've got a couple of different issues. It's a
Speaker 14: technology issue as well as a staffing issue. And what
Speaker 14: we've seen in the last two weeks or three occasions
Speaker 14: were the FAA technology for tracking aircraft, which of course
Speaker 14: we've talked about how antiquated fast century plus that technology is.
Speaker 12: Where we've had.
Speaker 14: Three instances in two weeks. The first two were primary
Speaker 14: systems that failed that actually caused the scopes, the radar screens,
Speaker 14: to go blank. You could not see the air traffic
Speaker 14: that you were managing. You could fortunately then speak to them,
Speaker 14: which was good because you could at least still communicate.
Speaker 14: The second instance, that happened on Sunday morning, was a
Speaker 14: backup or secondary system that failed. And that's my biggest
Speaker 14: concern is like, wait a minute. Now, we've got the
Speaker 14: primary and the secondary systems that are being effected. And
Speaker 14: what's happening is this technology that is so old it's
Speaker 14: simply just wearing down. It just cannot withstand the demands
Speaker 14: that are being placed on it. So what we're seeing
Speaker 14: is the same system which is used across the country.
Speaker 14: I look at Newark as an indication of this is
Speaker 14: just the beginning. We could see other types of situations
Speaker 14: like this occur, and that is certainly something that's an issue.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 14: The question I get is, Jade, does that mean it
Speaker 14: is unsafe for us if we're going to be flying
Speaker 14: in that part of the country. Now, the FAA is
Speaker 14: doing a very good job from a traffic management standpoint,
Speaker 14: where they keep the number of aircraft headed into a
Speaker 14: certain region, especially that congested Northeast, limited to a certain number.
Speaker 14: If they start to have issues with technology, they slow
Speaker 14: that down. We have frequent ground stops in cities like Cincinnati, Columbus.
Speaker 12: Chicago, anything headed towards the Northeast.
Speaker 14: If there's an issue, they'll issue a groundstop and say no,
Speaker 14: your plane can't take off until this time because we're
Speaker 14: only managing a certain number of aircraft in this vicinity
Speaker 14: in this timeframe. So I think they do a pretty
Speaker 14: good job of managing it. So it's something that their
Speaker 14: controllers do not get overwhelmed with. Obviously, you want them
Speaker 14: to have the technology working, because look, we're forty air
Speaker 14: traffic controllers short in Newark at this point in time
Speaker 14: that part of the country, and what's taken place is
Speaker 14: three thousand air traffic controllers short across the country. So
Speaker 14: you have air traffic controllers that are working over time
Speaker 14: because they are short staff, and you have a situation
Speaker 14: where they don't they can't count on their technology because
Speaker 14: it's failing, and you have a lot of these individuals
Speaker 14: that are just saying, look, I'm going to go get
Speaker 14: a less stressful job, like you know, bomb detection or something,
Speaker 14: because this is just if we've had five of them
Speaker 14: that had to take a leave of absence because of
Speaker 14: the emotional distress that they had when they lost contact
Speaker 14: with their aircraft for ninety seconds. Now, sometimes I would
Speaker 14: be like, oh, not come up, but what these men
Speaker 14: and women are going through, I totally understand that where
Speaker 14: they're taking a forty five day leave of absence and
Speaker 14: going from there. The problem, of course, Brian, is neither
Speaker 14: of those two systems are two issues with the shortage
Speaker 14: of air traffic controllers or technology is anything we can
Speaker 14: fix fast. In other words, it's going to take years
Speaker 14: for us to get the technology updated. Thank god President
Speaker 14: Trump has made this an item of priority. And if
Speaker 14: we have a Manhattan Project kind of approach, all hands
Speaker 14: on deck, we can knock it out maybe two years.
Speaker 14: That's great staffing. It's going to take years for the
Speaker 14: staffing to get up where it needs to be, which
Speaker 14: means neither of these situations are going to be resolved
Speaker 14: anytime soon. And when Sean Duffy comes out as the
Speaker 14: Transfer taking Secretary saying that some of these parts are
Speaker 14: so old from the last century that they have to
Speaker 14: go to eBay to buy the parts for the FAA,
Speaker 14: if that doesn't tell you what we're up against, I
Speaker 14: don't know. That's terrifying and scary at the same time,
Speaker 14: because it's one thing to find people qualified to still
Speaker 14: work on equipment from the seventies and eighties and nineties,
Speaker 14: but to find parts on eBay to do so again.
Speaker 14: Thank God, President Trump's doing something because all these useless
Speaker 14: people in Washington, d C, on both sides of the
Speaker 14: aisle that want to use this as a political ping
Speaker 14: pong ball. Excuse me, you've been in DC for forty
Speaker 14: fifty years, thirty years, twelve, and you've done nothing to
Speaker 14: address this FAA issue, which we've known it was coming.
Speaker 14: But the idea is, it's a lot easier to give
Speaker 14: money for a bridge where I can get my picture
Speaker 14: taken versus spending it on something boring like the FAA's
Speaker 14: upgraded computer system. We've waited too long and we're behind
Speaker 14: the eight ball, and we've got to do a lot,
Speaker 14: and I'm glad President Trump's at the helm to.
Speaker 12: Do something about it.
Speaker 1: Well, when you talk about getting parts off EVA, that's
Speaker 1: because no one manufactures the type of equipment that these
Speaker 1: computers are relying on, Like, for example, I think I
Speaker 1: jokingly reference five and a quarter floppy drives with you,
Speaker 1: but that sounds to me exactly like what they're using.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's like trying to find a part from my
Speaker 14: Radio Shack computer from nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1: Realistic, where's it going to be?
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, nobody's going to stock that part
Speaker 14: because one person every three years is going to buy it,
Speaker 14: and that's what they're running into. And some people thought
Speaker 14: Sean Duffy was making a joke. He's like, no, I'm serious.
Speaker 14: These are the ends that we have to go to
Speaker 14: to try to keep this stuff working. And I've seen
Speaker 14: some of these computers that overheat frequently that are part
Speaker 14: of the air traffic contro system where they have to
Speaker 14: open up the back panels and put fans there they
Speaker 14: try to keep them cool from overheating. And I'm thinking
Speaker 14: we've had their traffic controllers have to have an umbrella
Speaker 14: at their desk inside the Why because it leaks at
Speaker 14: the ceiling. I'm trying to keep water off of my computer.
Speaker 14: Look at all of these different things that they have
Speaker 14: to deal with.
Speaker 12: Why.
Speaker 14: Oh, by the way, we're supposed to have fourteen people
Speaker 14: on duty. We can only have three, four or five.
Speaker 14: It's just an emotional mess right now with what they're
Speaker 14: going through. And again, the people that politically are saying,
Speaker 14: you know, Donald Trump has all these issues. No, We've
Speaker 14: had issues like this for a number of decades. And
Speaker 14: I blame both sides of the aisle because it's been
Speaker 14: a joint effort that's in essence ignored what the FA
Speaker 14: has needed all these years. It reminds me of let's say,
Speaker 14: social security and some of these other things that they
Speaker 14: just don't want to touch. And you know, there're gonna
Speaker 14: spend more time seeing that they can blame versus trying
Speaker 14: to fix the problem.
Speaker 1: Well, if there were more air traffic accidents and more
Speaker 1: loss of lives than it would have been elevated their attention.
Speaker 1: I think they figured, as long as it's working, there
Speaker 1: are thousands of flights every single day, and nothing seems
Speaker 1: to be happening, so status quo is a okay.
Speaker 14: And that is such a great, great point because yes,
Speaker 14: we were enjoying the safest era of commercial jet travel
Speaker 14: in as long as it's working. Why invest hundreds of
Speaker 14: billions of dollars in something when something's working? And that's
Speaker 14: exactly the mindset these people have. The bridge hasn't collapsed, so.
Speaker 12: What do we need to spend money to rebuild it?
Speaker 4: Yees?
Speaker 14: You know, And that's why I'm glad that you're right
Speaker 14: down the middle on things. You call it the way
Speaker 14: you see it, because both sides of the aisle are
Speaker 14: guilty in this.
Speaker 12: They should be held accountable.
Speaker 14: But I think it's been half the energy that they
Speaker 14: spend pointing fingers and actually get some work done on
Speaker 14: all the things are there for I'd feel so much better.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wouldn't the world be a much better place? Jeez? Anyway, Jay,
Speaker 1: now you talk about air traffics and controllers. Now, if
Speaker 1: I were to go today and enroll in air traffic
Speaker 1: control school, they're going to be training me on how
Speaker 1: work equipment that's fifty years old. That I mean, that's
Speaker 1: kind of be a fact of the current situation, right yep.
Speaker 12: And we only have so many we can do.
Speaker 14: We can we can comfortably get fifteen hundred to two
Speaker 14: thousand through at a time. Last year, the FAA had
Speaker 14: a goal for the whole year of hiring fifteen hundred
Speaker 14: air traffic controllers. They did that by September first. I
Speaker 14: was bragging on a big time by hitting their goal.
Speaker 14: Early this year, they were hoping to get two thousand hired.
Speaker 14: But look, only a portion of those make it through
Speaker 14: the training, and it could be three years, four years
Speaker 14: or even longer before you're final fully trained at your
Speaker 14: post by yourself.
Speaker 12: Doing your job.
Speaker 1: Let's the equivalent of getting a four year degree to college.
Speaker 14: Then that's why you can't turn the spiket on and
Speaker 14: inspect immediate results here because all this stuff takes time.
Speaker 14: And the fa does a good job of training these people,
Speaker 14: but it takes a while to get them there. So
Speaker 14: that's why when you look at all of this, it's
Speaker 14: like you and I are going to be talking about
Speaker 14: Newark and the FAA and all this stuff a whole
Speaker 14: lot more as we move forward, because we're going to
Speaker 14: see other computers around the country that are going to
Speaker 14: start experiencing some of these similar.
Speaker 12: Kinds of issues.
Speaker 14: We've already seen them in the past, but this is
Speaker 14: three currencies in a couple of weeks, and it's in
Speaker 14: a point part of the country that's incredibly congested, and
Speaker 14: it's become a major talking point for all the obvious reasons.
Speaker 1: Well, I just hope it doesn't turn into a major
Speaker 1: talking about a point about loss of life. Well, is
Speaker 1: it real quick here on air traffic control? Is it
Speaker 1: a lucrative profession? Is it something that's worth pursuing as
Speaker 1: an endeavor?
Speaker 12: I mean, some of these people one.
Speaker 14: Hundred and fifty grand a year, sometimes more, sometimes less,
Speaker 14: especially with some of the ones that are.
Speaker 12: Working over time at this point.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but you remember coming out of the pandemic, how
Speaker 14: we had a lot of people that adjusted their entire
Speaker 14: mindset on work. It was like, I'm working three jobs
Speaker 14: to do this, I'm only going to work too, or
Speaker 14: I'm busting my butt working two jobs for my quality
Speaker 14: of life's sake, I'm only going to have one. We
Speaker 14: see pilots that could qualify to become captains that turn
Speaker 14: it down because they like the first officer. They like
Speaker 14: their seniority where they can call the shots. If I
Speaker 14: get promoted and I'm sitting in the left seat when
Speaker 14: I'm at the bottom of the list and I can't
Speaker 14: have that much control over my schedule, yeah, I would
Speaker 14: get paid more, but I control my life more in
Speaker 14: this situation. And these air traffic controllers, it's the same
Speaker 14: thing when they get there and they're saying, I'm going
Speaker 14: through so much for this when I could be happier
Speaker 14: doing something else, and all of that stuff not all,
Speaker 14: but a great deal of it is stuff that we
Speaker 14: shove on them because we're giving them tools that they
Speaker 14: can't depend on, and we're asking them to do the
Speaker 14: job of several people because we can't keep everything staffed
Speaker 14: as we should. And a lot of these people are
Speaker 14: just saying I've had it in a way they go
Speaker 14: and Brian, I can't blame them, because if every single
Speaker 14: day you're in charge of the safeguarding the lives of
Speaker 14: people that are you know that you're helping to facilitate
Speaker 14: the movement of those aircraft. There's no room for margin
Speaker 14: as far as for safety. You've got to jump in
Speaker 14: there and do your job, and everything has to work
Speaker 14: as it's supposed to, and you're worried every day is
Speaker 14: it really gonna work? Am I gonna be able to
Speaker 14: get through my shift without a problem? And you know
Speaker 14: that's certainly a concern.
Speaker 1: Well, all right, well, we always part company on hub delays.
Speaker 1: So what's the status today for air traffic.
Speaker 14: I think Minneapolis is gonna be the only problem shot,
Speaker 14: and I think it's gonna be kind of a glancing blow,
Speaker 14: so we might see delays at most it might approach
Speaker 14: an hour, but that's pretty much.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 14: We've got these afternoon thunderstorms which can pop up anywhere,
Speaker 14: which goes to show why Sharry and I when we fly,
Speaker 14: we catch the first flight out in the morning because
Speaker 14: a that's the flight. Airlines concentrate on the most to
Speaker 14: get it out on.
Speaker 12: Time, so your odds go up.
Speaker 14: And to these afternoon thunderstorms that can pop up any
Speaker 14: of the where, that really create a lot of afternoon.
Speaker 12: Messes and delays.
Speaker 14: You know you've got your bags out of baggage claim,
Speaker 14: you're driving to your destination long before those things hit
Speaker 14: if you fly out early in the morning.
Speaker 12: I'm not telling people to do that. I'm just explaining
Speaker 12: why we do that.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Jay, Always appreciate your our conversations and enlightening
Speaker 1: and in today slightly scary, but got to get the
Speaker 1: info out there. And uh and let's spread the truth
Speaker 1: about all these things. I'll look forward to next Thursday,
Speaker 1: another edition of this aviation segment. You have a wonderful weekend,
Speaker 1: my friend.
Speaker 14: And looking forward to next week. This has got to
Speaker 14: be the fastest twenty minutes of my week. To be sure,
Speaker 14: it seems like six Yah.
Speaker 1: You too, I love it. Eight fifty one fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC detalk stations.
Speaker 5: I'll be right back fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: Did you hear a recent stat
