Speaker 1: You're twenty twenty four election headquarters.
Speaker 2: Your wrong economic nighte mare will very soon be over.
Speaker 1: It's going to be over fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 3: Good morning. Before we look ahead and look back at
Speaker 3: significant events and people tied to this particular date in
Speaker 3: history October seventh, including but not limited to these, and
Speaker 3: certainly including the small town boy from Seymour, Indiana, John Mellencamp,
Speaker 3: who's seventy three in.
Speaker 4: Small town, small town, having mountaown commute, my Friensis small town.
Speaker 3: The small towns like Chimney Rock, North Carolina, East Palestine, Ohio,
Speaker 3: home of thousands, even millions have forgotten Americans thirty days
Speaker 3: until decision day in the twenty twenty four election. But anyway,
Speaker 3: some historical notes from this particular day. Seventeen sixty five.
Speaker 3: The Stamp Act Congress, a forerunner of our representative form
Speaker 3: of government before we were a country, convened in New
Speaker 3: York to drop colonial grievances against England. Nineteen thirteen. It's very,
Speaker 3: very important. The first moving assembly line began operation at
Speaker 3: the Ford Motor Company in Highland Park, Michigan, the forerunner
Speaker 3: of all kinds of manufacturing in this country. Ford rolled
Speaker 3: it out first this day. In nineteen eighty five, Palestinian
Speaker 3: gunman hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 3: They shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish American tourist
Speaker 3: in a wheelchair, and pushed him overboard before if were
Speaker 3: surrendering a couple of days later. Isn't it funny how
Speaker 3: history repeats itself? Nineteen ninety two, on this date, trade
Speaker 3: representatives in the US, Canada, and Mexico initialed the North
Speaker 3: American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA during a ceremony in Texas
Speaker 3: in the presence of then President George H. W. Bush,
Speaker 3: Canadian Prime Minister Brian mulrooney, and Mexican President Carlos Selinas Digatory.
Speaker 3: This still debate over what kind of advancement that was
Speaker 3: or what kind of damage it did to the American economy.
Speaker 3: NAFTA this date. In nineteen ninety eight, Matthew Shepard, a
Speaker 3: gay college student, beaten and left tied to a wooden
Speaker 3: fence post outside of Laramie, Wyoming. He died five days later.
Speaker 3: The two who were serving life sentences for Shepherd's murderer
Speaker 3: still there. I guess But the Shepherd case was interesting
Speaker 3: because it initiated a lot of these hate crime legislations
Speaker 3: because the narrative at the time was that Shepherd was
Speaker 3: beaten and killed because he was gay, and that meant
Speaker 3: there needed to be enhanced charges and punishments for the
Speaker 3: two men who were convicted of beating Matthew Shepherd to death.
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter was it was a lie.
Speaker 3: Matthew Shepherd was beaten to death because of a bad
Speaker 3: drug deal, a drug deal gone bad, not because he
Speaker 3: was gay. I mean, I think if you murder someone
Speaker 3: in cold blood, it's a hate crime, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3: But there were all kinds of laws that popped up
Speaker 3: all over the country after that with enhance punishments for
Speaker 3: hate crimes because you killed him because he was black,
Speaker 3: because he was gay. Interesting how that resonates when you
Speaker 3: understand the actual truth behind it. Matthew Shepherd's just as dead.
Speaker 3: But all of these hate crime laws, do we really
Speaker 3: need those on the books when we can't enforce the
Speaker 3: laws that are already there. The War in Afghanistan began
Speaker 3: as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against
Speaker 3: military targets in Osama Bin Lan's training camps in the
Speaker 3: wake of September eleventh, That, of course, was two thousand
Speaker 3: and one. Two years later, California voters recalled Governor Gray
Speaker 3: Davis and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger their new governor. And this
Speaker 3: is the big one. October seventh, last year, Hamas led
Speaker 3: militants launched air and ground attacks on Israel, killing almost
Speaker 3: twelve hundred taking more than two hundred and fifty hostages.
Speaker 3: The attacks, followed hours later by Israeli counterattacks, marked the
Speaker 3: beginning of the current war, the one that now only
Speaker 3: involves Israel and Jamas, a terrorist organization funded by Iran,
Speaker 3: but also has Bala in southern Lebanon, a terrorist organization
Speaker 3: funded by Iran, and the Uti rebels in Yemen, a
Speaker 3: terror organization funded by Iran. There need to be some
Speaker 3: some answers given to us, not just to the Israelis,
Speaker 3: but to the world about why we are helping fund
Speaker 3: Iran's terrorist funding in the Middle East. We've been doing
Speaker 3: it ever since Joe Biden took the oath of office
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one with his vice president Kamala Harris,
Speaker 3: who's now running for president. In twenty twenty four, there
Speaker 3: need to be some serious answers and accountability. They talk
Speaker 3: about accountability a lot in official Washington these days, although
Speaker 3: we find very little of it actually at play. Need
Speaker 3: to hold Iran in their feet to the fire. I ran,
Speaker 3: by the way, a country which has officially been at
Speaker 3: war with our country. You could take Israel out of
Speaker 3: the equation with our country since nineteen seventy nine when
Speaker 3: they took our embassy over and took hostage Americans. Those
Speaker 3: hostages were there being humiliated, being incarcerated, being imprisoned by
Speaker 3: the Iranians and the IATOLA for four hundred and forty
Speaker 3: four days before they were released. With the inauguration of
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan as our president. We act like we're not
Speaker 3: at war with Iran, but they are certainly at war
Speaker 3: with us, and have been for forty five years now.
Speaker 3: Never really did anything about it, got our hostages back,
Speaker 3: didn't get American sovereign soil back at embassy in Tehran,
Speaker 3: and the Iranian people have been subject to the totalitarian
Speaker 3: terrorist regime ever since. There has to be some accountability
Speaker 3: and in the years since Israel was a tact basically
Speaker 3: by Iran under the banner of hamas Americans in this
Speaker 3: country inexplicedly, and it's unexplainable that Americans have blamed Israel.
Speaker 3: Of course, the money and the power behind those protests
Speaker 3: is well in lockstep with Iran, because Israel should be
Speaker 3: punished simply because it exists. Besides Mellencamp today, on this
Speaker 3: October seventh, the birthday list includes comedian talk show host
Speaker 3: Joy Behar. Oh my god, I'd hate to share a
Speaker 3: birthday with that horrid woman. Tiko Torres, who is in
Speaker 3: Banjo heb seventy one, Cellus Yo yo Ma has a
Speaker 3: birthday today sixty nine, Simon Cowell off You Go is
Speaker 3: sixty five. Tony Braxton has a birthday tom Yorke who
Speaker 3: was in Radio Head, Nicole Aery Parker, football Hall of
Speaker 3: Famer Charles Woodson, and MLB outfielder Mooky Betts is thirty two.
Speaker 3: Let's hear it from Mooky. We'll be remembering what happened,
Speaker 3: what occurred a year ago, all morning long, and along
Speaker 3: the way, several guests here in the morning show. Our
Speaker 3: thoughts with Brian Thomas, who's not here today. I hope
Speaker 3: all is going well with him. Coming up on five
Speaker 3: point fifteen on a Monday, getting you started, and by
Speaker 3: the way, you want to chime in at any time
Speaker 3: on any topic. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty
Speaker 3: five hundred is the phone number. I'm Gary Jeff Walker
Speaker 3: filling in on fifty five KRC the talk station and
Speaker 3: five eighteen and a Monday morning, we remember October seventh.
Speaker 3: On October seventh, Gary jeffan for Brian this morning on
Speaker 3: fifty five KRC. The other major issue in our focus
Speaker 3: today has to be the rescue and relief efforts still
Speaker 3: ongoing in North Carolina and South Carolina, in Georgia, in Florida,
Speaker 3: little pieces of Tennessee as another hurricane Milton is now
Speaker 3: barreling towards Tampa, Florida, with its eye on the sunshine
Speaker 3: stay once again, just two weeks after Helene created such carnage.
Speaker 3: And before getting into the political side of this, let's
Speaker 3: talk about the human side of this. The stories continue
Speaker 3: to pour in as relief has been hard to get
Speaker 3: to some of the people affected by the aftermath of
Speaker 3: Helene because of many things, mostly geographical issues, but there
Speaker 3: were also issues as we now know, at the top
Speaker 3: of official Washington and FEMA and the current presidential administration,
Speaker 3: which of course includes Kamala Harris. But that being said,
Speaker 3: there are many agencies doing miraculous work, as you probably know,
Speaker 3: and you may have already donated to help that work
Speaker 3: continue to get the aid to people that need it
Speaker 3: so desperately, who have lost literally everything. Matthew twenty five
Speaker 3: ministries here locally, Samaritan Purse, Franklin Graham's Charity, and of
Speaker 3: course the American Red Cross, who are always on the
Speaker 3: front lines of disaster relief. They're all great organizations that
Speaker 3: truly do help people. And my wife and I will
Speaker 3: make our second donation later on today to Samaritans Purse
Speaker 3: after donating some money to the American Red Cross. And
Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be a whole lot of cash,
Speaker 3: if you got ten or twenty bucks, whatever you can
Speaker 3: do to help your fellow American citizens. One of the
Speaker 3: stories from Chimney Rock, North Carolina, from a volunteer firefighter,
Speaker 3: John Payne, who was responding to a possible gas leak
Speaker 3: when he noticed water spilling over US sixty four seventy four,
Speaker 3: the main road into that small town in rural North Carolina,
Speaker 3: just after seven o'clock in the morning. He said the
Speaker 3: actual hurricane hadn't even come through and hit. Yet he's
Speaker 3: lived in this valley his entire life. He said. He
Speaker 3: forgot about the call about a possible gas leak and
Speaker 3: went back up the hild of the fire station, which
Speaker 3: was moved to higher ground following a flood in nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety six, and the former fire chief, a guy named
Speaker 3: Buck Malisky, who'd worked that flood in ninety six, said
Speaker 3: there's no way it's hitting that early. But when Payne
Speaker 3: showed him a video that he'd just taken of water
Speaker 3: topping the bridge at the Hickory Nut Falls Family Campground,
Speaker 3: that's when the old man's jaw dropped. He said, We're
Speaker 3: in it for it, boys, We're in for it. Suddenly
Speaker 3: the ground beneath them began to shake, like you know
Speaker 3: what happens occasionally when tremors come through the valley, but
Speaker 3: a lot stronger than that. By then, muddy water was
Speaker 3: seeping under the back wall of that firehouse where they
Speaker 3: are standing talking about the fact that this is going
Speaker 3: to be very bad. John Payne looked down and saw
Speaker 3: what he askedmated to be a thirty foot high wall
Speaker 3: of water, tossing car sized boulders as it raced towards
Speaker 3: the town. He said it looked like the wave was
Speaker 3: just eating the houses and spitting them out. He observed,
Speaker 3: it's not water at that point, it's mud, concrete like material,
Speaker 3: and whatever it hits, it takes with it. A house
Speaker 3: hit the bridge where he'd been filming just twenty minutes earlier,
Speaker 3: he said, the span imploded. He later found the steel
Speaker 3: beams bent in the horseshoe shapes around boulders. Back at
Speaker 3: the firehouse, some business owners among the group that were
Speaker 3: there began crying hysterically. Others just stood in disbelief. They
Speaker 3: liked so many lost communications during the storm. But when
Speaker 3: the winds finally began to quiet down around eleven o'clock
Speaker 3: that morning, this is a span of four hours in
Speaker 3: Chimney Rock, North Carolina, the radios began blowing up with calls.
Speaker 3: The pieces of what had been Chimney Rock Village were
Speaker 3: now on their way to the neighboring town of Lake Lure.
Speaker 3: Tracy Stevens, a bartender at Hickory Nutt, took refuge at
Speaker 3: the Lake Lure Inn, where she also worked. She watched
Speaker 3: as what was left of chimney Rock and beyond came
Speaker 3: pouring into the marina, tossing boats around like they were toys,
Speaker 3: and thrusting metal sections of the floating town center walkway
Speaker 3: upward like the folds on a map. It looked like
Speaker 3: a toilet bowl flushing. I could see cars, tops of houses.
Speaker 3: It was absolutely the craziest thing I'd seen. And that's
Speaker 3: just two stories from two little towns in North Carolina.
Speaker 3: And those are the people that we must focus on.
Speaker 3: We're thirty days and away from an election, but really
Speaker 3: the focus has to be there. Kamala Harras finally visited
Speaker 3: on Saturday. Too little, too late, maybe, but when a
Speaker 3: natural disaster hits like this, you can put the blame
Speaker 3: anywhere you want, but it's a natural disaster. It's how
Speaker 3: you deal with it in the aftermath. And the federal government,
Speaker 3: the people that work for us, have failed miserably to
Speaker 3: this point. Seven hundred and fifty dollars a person, well,
Speaker 3: billions are being spent on I legal immigrants and a
Speaker 3: war in Ukraine that we should have no part in
Speaker 3: to begin with. It is absolutely disgusting, but it's on us.
Speaker 3: We've got to take it on so again. American Red
Speaker 3: Cross Samaritan's Purse Matthew twenty five Ministries five twenty six.
Speaker 3: On this Monday morning, October seventh, Gary Jeffen from Bryan
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 1: What's the Best.
Speaker 3: Joe and I were speaking before the show. I'm just
Speaker 3: glad he's still speaking to me. But we were talking
Speaker 3: about trying to watch a football game or any kind
Speaker 3: of television, especially the last couple of weeks. And again
Speaker 3: we're thirty days out from the election day yet early
Speaker 3: voting begins in Ohio tomorrow. But he's talking about watching
Speaker 3: the Bengals game, and he noticed two spots, two commercials
Speaker 3: for Shared Brown back to back, and then two commercials
Speaker 3: for Bernie Marino, ha sentate opponent in Ohio, back to back,
Speaker 3: and then another Shared Brown commercial, all in the space
Speaker 3: of a few minutes. Overload. We're all experienced it, and
Speaker 3: especially the presidential election, which has actually been going. They
Speaker 3: keep on talking about it. It's the start of the
Speaker 3: longest running presidential election in American history or American memory.
Speaker 3: This presidential election began that this season, This campaign began
Speaker 3: the minute that they announced the winner of the last
Speaker 3: presidential election, who was debatable, Joe Biden. We've been living
Speaker 3: through campaign hell in this country now for almost four years.
Speaker 3: It just it's relentless, it doesn't stop. And I truly
Speaker 3: believe that this presidential election, it certainly shouldn't be close
Speaker 3: at all. But I don't think it's going to be close.
Speaker 3: If you actually count the votes of living people and
Speaker 3: people who are actual citizens of this country, it should
Speaker 3: be an overwhelming landslide for Donald Trump if you compare
Speaker 3: the two who administration's records on important issues that people
Speaker 3: say they care about the economy and they always care
Speaker 3: about the economy. Immigration, illegal immigration, which had slowed down
Speaker 3: to a trickle under Trump, and then the floodgates opened,
Speaker 3: almost like a hurricane, pouring in through our southern border,
Speaker 3: and now our northern borders being compromised like never before
Speaker 3: in this country. Anyway, back to my point, I think
Speaker 3: truly an overwhelming majority of American voters, citizen voters, are
Speaker 3: going to vote for Donald Trump and to not the
Speaker 3: anointed undemocrat, undemocratic democrat, leftist Kamala Harris, who stands for
Speaker 3: nothing and will tell you anything. Back to my point,
Speaker 3: though it has to be close, we have to be
Speaker 3: told over and over again by the pollsters, by the
Speaker 3: media that this is a razor thin margin, don't be complacent,
Speaker 3: And I agree you shouldn't be complacent, but I don't
Speaker 3: think it's that close. The reason they're telling us this
Speaker 3: and it's plain and simple, and it's the oldest reason
Speaker 3: that you get money in power, money from both parties,
Speaker 3: and believe me, millions upon millions, but billions of dollars
Speaker 3: if you count all the campaigns together, have flowed into
Speaker 3: the coffers of both Republican and Democrat candidates in this
Speaker 3: election and will continue to do so right up till
Speaker 3: election day. They don't want to miss out on those
Speaker 3: donations because if it's a foregone conclusion, one of the
Speaker 3: other is running away with it. All that money book
Speaker 3: drives up, it's not there anymore. And the media, of
Speaker 3: which I'm not proud to say I'm a member at
Speaker 3: this point right now, the media is complicit in this
Speaker 3: gas lighting and in this little dog and pony show
Speaker 3: that's called the twenty twenty four election because they get
Speaker 3: the benefit of all the money, or much of the
Speaker 3: money that is flowing into the conference of the Republican
Speaker 3: and the Democrat parties. The media is a benefactor and
Speaker 3: has an interest in claiming this is so close. Keep
Speaker 3: that money coming in, keep that ad money coming in.
Speaker 3: We need it, we need it, we want it. We'll
Speaker 3: tell him anything just so the money keeps flowing in.
Speaker 3: Pretty disgusting, really if you take time to think about it.
Speaker 3: But I guess it's nothing new. It's just more intense
Speaker 3: than ever seemingly. We have Chris Mithman with us around
Speaker 3: seven thirty this morning for his regular rant. We have
Speaker 3: a guy named Russell Mock. Judge Mock, you're probably familiar with,
Speaker 3: talking about the local race, particularly the Melissa Powers prosecutor race,
Speaker 3: representing the Republican Party. And we'll also have a couple
Speaker 3: of other guests along the way, including Mark Mix's president
Speaker 3: of National Right to Work talk about the just ended
Speaker 3: or at least paused dock workers strike, long shortman strike
Speaker 3: and whether this is over yet, and also Jennifer Breeman
Speaker 3: talking about candidate Bernie Marine, know who was in that
Speaker 3: battle with the Shared Brown we were just speaking of
Speaker 3: with all those darn TV ads. Five point thirty six
Speaker 3: coming up on a Monday morning, October seventh, Gary jeff
Speaker 3: In for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 5: You know, the big wireless companies want you to overpay
Speaker 5: for data.
Speaker 3: Obviously, it's a clean slate on the interstates. We'll check
Speaker 3: back in in just a few coming up on well
Speaker 3: twenty minutes till the top of the hour and Gary
Speaker 3: jeff in for Brian. This morning, I was noticing that
Speaker 3: there was a well, this is from over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Actually leave. Initially the report came from Channel nine CPO
Speaker 3: out of Springfield, Ohio. A court has referred to County
Speaker 3: prosecutors criminal case brought to you by a citizens group
Speaker 3: against Donald Trump and JD Vance over their comments about
Speaker 3: Haitian immigrants, but the court did reject the groups called
Speaker 3: issue arrest warrants or misdemeanor summons. The Clark County Municipal
Speaker 3: Court found no probable cost to issue warrants or summons
Speaker 3: on misdemeanor charges against former President Donald Trump and his
Speaker 3: running mate Jade Vance. The matter then referred to the
Speaker 3: Clark County Prosecutor's office for further investigation. The problem is
Speaker 3: a group that represents the fifteen to twenty thousand Haitian
Speaker 3: immigrants who have flooded Springfield in the last three years,
Speaker 3: legally under a temporary protective order issued by the Biden administration.
Speaker 3: The Haitian Bridge Alliance, a nonprofit group representing the Haitian community,
Speaker 3: last month invoked a private city and right to file
Speaker 3: charges over the chaos and threats experience since Trump first
Speaker 3: spread false claims about illegal immigrants there during a presidential debate.
Speaker 3: Have you been to Springfield, Ohio lately? I'm just curious,
Speaker 3: have you. I was in Urbana, which is not far
Speaker 3: from sits right down the road from Springfield, a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ago. It's been about three weeks, and what
Speaker 3: the guy told me, and that guy being a friend
Speaker 3: that I trust who lives in the area, was that
Speaker 3: the chaos has been caused by the temporarily legal Haitian
Speaker 3: immigrants who were in Springfield, and not by Donald Trump
Speaker 3: or JD. Vance. The chaos happens anytime you bring an
Speaker 3: extra twenty thousand people and drop them in a town
Speaker 3: of you know, fifty five thousand or whatever. You just
Speaker 3: brought in a third of what is there now in
Speaker 3: just a few years. But anyway, the Haitian Bridge Alliance
Speaker 3: wants them to be prosecuted Donald Trump and JD. Vance
Speaker 3: for things that they said. The persistence and rest relentlessness,
Speaker 3: even the face of the governor and the mayor saying
Speaker 3: this is false, That shows intent, it's knowing, wilful flouting
Speaker 3: of criminal law. Meanwhile, the Trump Advance campaign said the
Speaker 3: former president was rightfully highlighting the failed immigration system that
Speaker 3: Vice President Kamala Harris has overseen, bringing thousands of illegal
Speaker 3: immigrants pouring into communities like Springfield and many others across
Speaker 3: the country. Fifteen to twenty thousand. What would happen if
Speaker 3: in just a few years time, fifteen to twenty thousand
Speaker 3: people who don't know your culture, don't know your language,
Speaker 3: we're just dumped in your town. Say you say you
Speaker 3: live in Batavia, for example, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the government, through these NGOs, a nonprofit organization, arranges to
Speaker 3: have a massive population just dumped into your town, using
Speaker 3: your services, all of a sudden. That's what happened in Springfield. Now,
Speaker 3: the whole emphasis has been on Donald Trump or JD.
Speaker 3: Vance talk about them, the Haitian immigrants eating people's house
Speaker 3: pets and dogs and cats and the like, which may
Speaker 3: not have happened. I don't know. They'd say, there's no
Speaker 3: evidence that this is this has occurred but I have
Speaker 3: seen and talked to people. I'm not personally seen, but
Speaker 3: I've talked to people who who have witnessed them illegal
Speaker 3: goose hunting and duck hunting in Springfield, Ohio. You know,
Speaker 3: if you're a if you're a hunter, you know that
Speaker 3: there are the geese are off the table completely, but
Speaker 3: there's a duck hunting season. The Haitians aren't paying attention
Speaker 3: to that. They're just going to and grabbing themselves some ducks.
Speaker 3: When when people who are not citizens of the country
Speaker 3: have more pull and sway and more rights than American citizens,
Speaker 3: we got to rethink the policy, don't we and not
Speaker 3: imprison somebody or try and accuse somebody of committing a
Speaker 3: crime for pointing it out. Other people behind this are
Speaker 3: obviously anti free speech. It's five forty five five one
Speaker 3: three seven nine fifty five hundred. If you'd like to
Speaker 3: get in touch, we'll take a break and come back
Speaker 3: on fifty five krc DE Talk station. Hey Bengals fans,
Speaker 3: when you line up sevenix o'clock, Poudy carry Jeff in
Speaker 3: for Brian Thomas and on the line our first caller
Speaker 3: of the morning, Bobby, you know, talking about immigration. Hello, Bobby,
Speaker 3: good morning, How are you and what are you doing
Speaker 3: up so early? We're up early every day, my brother.
Speaker 6: We got to maintain Almighty God's America.
Speaker 3: God bless you so uh so, anyway, your your thoughts
Speaker 3: on this immigrant you know, they all the argument is
Speaker 3: always we're a country of immigrants. We all came from
Speaker 3: somewhere else. But this is so different, This is so
Speaker 3: organically different than how America was formed. What's going on that?
Speaker 3: Because it's not the great melting pot. The melting pot
Speaker 3: is being thrown in with all these ingredients that don't
Speaker 3: work with the rest of the ingredients already there. Would
Speaker 3: you say that's a fair assessment.
Speaker 6: Well, with this migrant inplux that we're having, I'm just wondering,
Speaker 6: how do we recreate ladies and gentlemen from Sweden, Norway
Speaker 6: and Scandinavia. How can we mix it up a little bit?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't understand why it's just all one
Speaker 6: culture instead of you know, well, you know, an influx
Speaker 6: of different people.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'll tell you why we don't get
Speaker 3: that influx of people from Scandinavia. Their government has already
Speaker 3: given them all kinds of freebies. Our government is dangling
Speaker 3: the freebies, i e. The billions of dollars that have
Speaker 3: already been spent on illegal immigrants to this country who
Speaker 3: came into this country illegally and as being flown into America.
Speaker 3: And they're not coming for freedom. They're not coming because
Speaker 3: they're so oppressed in the places that they're coming from.
Speaker 3: They're coming for the goodies that they can get out
Speaker 3: of American taxpayer's pockets. That's why they're coming here now,
Speaker 3: because they've been guaranteed a phone, a debit card, a
Speaker 3: free place to stay. In fact, we'll give you transportation
Speaker 3: anywhere you want into the country, just to get you
Speaker 3: off of our border and off of the radar. That's
Speaker 3: why they're coming now. They're coming because of the giant
Speaker 3: welcome that that the current administration has laid out, subverting
Speaker 3: all of our immigration laws. This is the other thing.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris and other Democrats blamed Donald Trump for the
Speaker 3: for the failed immigration bill that was bipartisan and it
Speaker 3: was going to help solve the problem. The bipartisan immigration
Speaker 3: bill that they're talking about only made it easier for
Speaker 3: many illegal immigrants to come in at a certain level
Speaker 3: a well, only it's only two million a year, only
Speaker 3: two million a year or five million a year. You're
Speaker 3: going to slow this, slow the uh slow the spread
Speaker 3: so to speak and COVID parlance to only five million
Speaker 3: a year illegal immigrants being allowed. And then they wanted
Speaker 3: to make them citizens, subverting and circumventing all of the
Speaker 3: mechanisms that are already in place. When you come here
Speaker 3: from another country and you want to be a citizen
Speaker 3: of the USA, I mean, and then the issue is racism.
Speaker 3: You're racist because you don't want people who don't look
Speaker 3: like you into the country. And it's black and brown people.
Speaker 3: It's you, white people afraid of being replaced by black
Speaker 3: and brown people. There are people coming here by the
Speaker 3: thousands from communists China, and that government is pushing them
Speaker 3: to come here. They're directing them to come here because
Speaker 3: they want to infiltrate this country and turn it into
Speaker 3: a Marxist cesspool so they can be the dominant country
Speaker 3: on the face of the earth. The terrorists are coming
Speaker 3: in since in the last fifteen years, it's really really
Speaker 3: hyped up in the last three and a half years.
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, in the last fifteen years. Even
Speaker 3: Ice says over four hundred and fifty thousand people with
Speaker 3: serious criminal charges have been let into the country and
Speaker 3: nobody knows where they are because there's no vetting. There's
Speaker 3: not an orderly process, which is already It's already on
Speaker 3: our books. Congress doesn't need to act to pass a
Speaker 3: new law. There are already plenty of laws and statutes
Speaker 3: that say the president has power to stem the flow
Speaker 3: of all these illegals coming in. And this president isn't
Speaker 3: doing it. The one we had before was and he
Speaker 3: will again. We don't need new laws. The laws are
Speaker 3: already there. Follow the law. And now Donald Trump, God
Speaker 3: bless him. If he's elected, his first task on day
Speaker 3: one will be working with Ice to deport these illegal
Speaker 3: criminals from our country. I hope he gets the job
Speaker 3: because may Orcus and the rest of these numbskull incompetence
Speaker 3: need to be fired. We're not just firing Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: from the Vice presidency and keeping her out of the
Speaker 3: Oval office. We're also firing may Orcus, Buddhaje Edge Romundo.
Speaker 3: That chick is a nightmare the Secretary of Commerce. Have
Speaker 3: you listened to some of her comments. It's time that
Speaker 3: they all got fired. From this apprentice show, but his
Speaker 3: job one on day one will be to figure out
Speaker 3: what to do with all of the world's riff raft
Speaker 3: that have been allowed in Thanks to Joe Biden and
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. Five point fifty six at fifty five krs,
Speaker 3: the talk station the.
Speaker 1: Latest on the election minutes away at the top of
Speaker 1: the OLM. You got a vote. The future of our
Speaker 1: country depends on it. Fifty five krs the talk station Discover.
Speaker 3: Rec October seventh, twenty twenty four. Happy birthday to Tico Torres.
Speaker 1: A song full of the brooking hot.
Speaker 3: A bon Jovi, who is seventy one today. I couldn't
Speaker 3: set one year since the worst terrorist attack in Israel,
Speaker 3: perhaps ever by proportion by percentage. Nearly twelve hundred killed
Speaker 3: in the attack by the Mos terrorist network, which is
Speaker 3: right next door in the Gaza Strip. There's a lot
Speaker 3: less of them now, thank God, and thank the IDF.
Speaker 3: It's hard to believe that it's been a year already,
Speaker 3: and it's just been a week since devastation came via
Speaker 3: Mother Nature and Hurricane Helene to places like Asheville, North Carolina.
Speaker 3: They're calling it there, Katrina. Donald Trump is calling it
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's Katrina moment because she is the one in office.
Speaker 3: It's a report from the scene that's been updated this morning.
Speaker 3: This is from the Epoch Times. Tunnel Road a major
Speaker 3: thoroughfare between Ashville and the Swanna Noah Valley in western
Speaker 3: North Carolina. Before Hurricane Helen, hundreds of cars would cross
Speaker 3: that bridge and route to downtown Ashville. Cottages in the
Speaker 3: Blue Ridge Mountains are Interstate forty headed east to west.
Speaker 3: That bridge is now blocked by an entire house on
Speaker 3: top of it, deposited by the flooding. A US Army
Speaker 3: for Position Alan Queen, who's an Assistant Incident commander of
Speaker 3: military personnel deployed for disaster relief, said, you see a
Speaker 3: house on top of a bridge, that peak picture speaks
Speaker 3: a thousand words. That's his hometown too. He wasn't just
Speaker 3: flown in there for the disaster. He lives there in Ashville.
Speaker 3: He said that the floods caused by Hurricane Helen were
Speaker 3: the worst in more than one hundred years. Even the
Speaker 3: Great Flood of nineteen sixteen, which killed eighty not as
Speaker 3: bad as what they've experienced in the aftermath of Helene.
Speaker 3: Storefronts blasted open like there was an explode, like a
Speaker 3: bomb went off. Cars overturned in ditches of muddy water,
Speaker 3: Tractor trailers mangled across roads and highways. This storm dumped
Speaker 3: forty trillion gallons of water on these states between September
Speaker 3: twenty fourth and twenty ninth, with the wind again inland,
Speaker 3: reaching one hundred and forty miles an hour. The death
Speaker 3: count is more than two hundred. There are still hundreds
Speaker 3: of people missing. And again my issue this morning with you,
Speaker 3: and I know Bryan's listeners, I know Kes listeners. You're
Speaker 3: people with a conscience, You're people who care about your
Speaker 3: fellow citizens. And I'm sure you've already done this, but
Speaker 3: if you haven't yet, I encourage you to give whatever
Speaker 3: you can towards these relief efforts, because we found out
Speaker 3: in the last week that the federal government is not
Speaker 3: the answer. It's never the answer. They tell us that
Speaker 3: they're there working for us in Washington, or in Columbus,
Speaker 3: or in Frankfurt, but more and more the evidence is
Speaker 3: clear they're working for somebody else. It ain't you and me,
Speaker 3: mostly themselves, is who they're working for, and they're working
Speaker 3: for agendas that don't have the best interest of the
Speaker 3: average American citizen in mind. Give to the American Red Claw,
Speaker 3: a Cross, Samaritans Purse, Franklin Graham's incredible charity, and Matthew
Speaker 3: twenty five ministries here in town. Forty trillion gallons of water.
Speaker 3: The floodwater's gone most places, but the suffering continues. The
Speaker 3: greatest iron of Helene is that forty trillions gallons of
Speaker 3: water dumped into these states. There's no water. There's no
Speaker 3: water to drink, there's no water to wash. The water
Speaker 3: shortage is maybe the most critical part of the aftermath
Speaker 3: of this. Water mains, underground pipes swept away. I mean
Speaker 3: the ground itself moved like it was an earthquake. Not
Speaker 3: one single building in Asheville, North Carolina, which is no
Speaker 3: small town, can access running water. And people are alive
Speaker 3: right now in Ashville and other places because of the
Speaker 3: thousands of gallons of water being shipped in every day.
Speaker 3: And that's where Samaritans Purse, in the Red Cross, all
Speaker 3: these other relief efforts come in. You can't flush your toilet,
Speaker 3: can't take a shower, can't do laundry, no water to drink.
Speaker 3: The infrastructure for that water has been totally destroyed. According
Speaker 3: to a primary care physician, I mean Asheville is known
Speaker 3: as a very kind of leftist, progressive place, but that
Speaker 3: doesn't matter at a time like this. These are American citizens,
Speaker 3: and with the election just thirty days away, North Carolina
Speaker 3: is a crucial state, for example, in the presidential election
Speaker 3: and in Senate races. In places like Asheville, the larger
Speaker 3: cities which tend to vote Democrat, they're probably going to
Speaker 3: be able to vote in these rural outback towns and
Speaker 3: mountain towns and valleys, Big Trump Country. Will these people,
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't have water to drink. How are
Speaker 3: they going to vote? Ryan Austin, a Nashville Ashville local
Speaker 3: and disaster relief work says there's no running water in
Speaker 3: all of Ashville. Plenty of people bringing in bottled water
Speaker 3: for drinking. There's no way to use that for anything else,
Speaker 3: And especially at hospitals. Can you imagine being a nurse
Speaker 3: or a doctor, or a patient more importantly, in a
Speaker 3: hospital and there's no water and the shelters where many
Speaker 3: of the injured and homeless are taking refuge. A Level
Speaker 3: two trauma center Nashville called Mission Hospital twelve hundred beds
Speaker 3: reportedly digging wells to find water for essential services. Feces
Speaker 3: piled up in the toilets. People had buckets next to
Speaker 3: their rooms. They were flushing their toilets that way. Doctors
Speaker 3: could not do important necessary procedures because there was no
Speaker 3: way to clean their utensils. Yep, everybody says water, water everywhere,
Speaker 3: and not a drop to drink in Ashville or so
Speaker 3: many other places. Again, Kamala Harris was there over the weekend.
Speaker 3: You know, too little, too late. Donald Trump has called
Speaker 3: this Kamali's Katrina since she's in office. Donald Trump, on
Speaker 3: the other hand, has as you know, enlisted Elon Musk,
Speaker 3: his good friend, to bring communications to these areas with
Speaker 3: his Starlink and initially the Starlinks stations. We're being denied
Speaker 3: access to be installed where there's no cell phone service,
Speaker 3: there's no power, there's no water, there's no way to
Speaker 3: find out if somebody's alive or not. Really, really a
Speaker 3: dire situation. So American Red Cross Samaritan's Purse, Matthew twenty five,
Speaker 3: get off my horse here and take a break, Gary
Speaker 3: Jeff and for Brian Thomas this morning. It's coming up
Speaker 3: on six fifteen at fifty five KRC the talk station. Yes,
Speaker 3: about eighteen minutes after six o'clock on a Monday morning,
Speaker 3: Gary Jampin for Brian on fifty five KRC the Talk station,
Speaker 3: Good morning, Great to be with you five one, three, seven,
Speaker 3: four nine fifty five hundred to get in touch. We're
Speaker 3: talking about Hurricane Helene relief, which I think is the
Speaker 3: most important issue. Even though we're only thirty days from
Speaker 3: the election, early voting starts in Ohio tomorrow, and for
Speaker 3: the first time I think ever, Republicans, Conservatives, people you
Speaker 3: might be voting for, are imploring you to get out
Speaker 3: and vote early if you can. I'm going to save
Speaker 3: my vote for election day because I don't want the
Speaker 3: other side to know how many votes they need to
Speaker 3: steal to win another presidential election. That's why. Figure if
Speaker 3: they see all these votes for Donald Trump or whatever
Speaker 3: conservative candidate you may be voting for in your situation,
Speaker 3: in your state or your community, if they know how
Speaker 3: many they've got to steal, well, I don't want to
Speaker 3: give them any help. But early votings start tomorrow, and
Speaker 3: I'm sure that'll be part of what is on Chris
Speaker 3: Smitherman's mind. It certainly will be on Judge Russell Mock's mind,
Speaker 3: who was head of a Republican party and is of course
Speaker 3: talking about Melissa Powers for the prosecutor here in Hamilton County.
Speaker 3: But anyway, we'll be talking with him in just a
Speaker 3: few moments. The other issue in my mind that is
Speaker 3: predominant a year later is what is going on in
Speaker 3: the Middle East. Why should we care? Well, we should
Speaker 3: care because Israel is the United States basically in that
Speaker 3: it's the only thing like the United States as far
Speaker 3: as a government and democrat see in freedom for the
Speaker 3: average individual. You don't have to be a Jew to
Speaker 3: live in Israel. There are many people who are not
Speaker 3: Jewish who live in Israel. But the whole focus of
Speaker 3: Hamas Hesbala and Iran is getting rid of the Jews.
Speaker 3: This is nothing new. It's been going on for thousands
Speaker 3: of years, reared at sugly head when Hitler was in power,
Speaker 3: and the pro Hamas protesters in this country are nothing
Speaker 3: more than a throwback to Adolf Hitler because all about
Speaker 3: hatred of Jews. And here we are a year later.
Speaker 3: The IDF will not be and should not be handcuffed
Speaker 3: by our administration or anyone else. It is their business
Speaker 3: and we need to help them. Ukraine, I'm not so
Speaker 3: sure of. We have Gary, we have Gary on the line. Gary,
Speaker 3: good morning, how are you and what's on your mind?
Speaker 7: Good morning Gary, Jeff. I heard you talking about these
Speaker 7: these great fundraisers and Donald Trump has a go fund
Speaker 7: me that right now has raised six million, eight hundred
Speaker 7: and thirteen dollars and six million, eight hundred and thirteen thousand,
Speaker 7: seven and twenty three dollars right.
Speaker 3: Now, and for the relief for the for the relief effort.
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, you go to go fund me Trump author
Speaker 7: I support kan Leen victims. It's six million, eight hundred
Speaker 7: and thirteen, seven and twenty three dollars.
Speaker 3: God bless him, God bless anybody who has donated to that. Gary,
Speaker 3: I mean to me, to me, this is the only
Speaker 3: issue that matters. I know people are all fired up
Speaker 3: about the election and how important and consequential it is.
Speaker 3: Uh And and Trump even said it himself over the weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm not here for votes. I'm here for to save lives.
Speaker 3: And and that's who he is at his core, that's
Speaker 3: who he is, I believe. Yeah, I.
Speaker 7: Didn't hear a lot about the go fund me and
Speaker 7: until the other day popped up on a radio show
Speaker 7: and I donated, And it's pretty quick and simple. Everybody
Speaker 7: wants to do that.
Speaker 3: What is what is the what is the title of
Speaker 3: the GoFundMe page? Is it just Hurricane Helene or what?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 3: What is? How do people find Well?
Speaker 8: In one second, I just was looking at it.
Speaker 7: I'm on my way to work right now. But it's
Speaker 7: a go fund me Hurricane Helen's victims. Trump authorized no
Speaker 7: fund me account.
Speaker 3: Fantastic. That's that's another way that people can chip in.
Speaker 3: And I appreciate you sharing that, Gary.
Speaker 7: No problem. Listen to you next Saturday morning.
Speaker 3: All right, I have a great day at work. Just
Speaker 3: on your way to work. It's a six twenty four
Speaker 3: and some change again the number five one, three, seven,
Speaker 3: five hundred. If you've got any more ideas for people
Speaker 3: who want to pitch in and help out in the
Speaker 3: aftermath of Hurricane Helen. And again on this October seventh,
Speaker 3: we are standing by the people. I am standing by
Speaker 3: the people of Israel and the IDF and standing firmly
Speaker 3: against Iran and all of its proxies, the terrorist, the murdering, terrorist,
Speaker 3: horde of Islamists who want to wipe Israel off the map.
Speaker 3: Two things and local politics coming up next with Judge
Speaker 3: Russell Mock In just a moment. You're on fifty five
Speaker 3: KRCV talk station. Turn up your radio.

Speaker 5: you that everything's fine. And we talked to Governor DeSantis
Speaker 5: on this program and Governor Brian Kemp on this program.
Speaker 5: To their credit, they prepositioned utility trucks and emergency supplies
Speaker 5: to everyone knew a Cat three likely Cat four hurricane
Speaker 5: was coming. Joe and Kamala didn't do a thing because
Speaker 5: now we know they had given the money, they squandered it.
Speaker 5: They took it out of the FEMA fund to give
Speaker 5: to their unvenited illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3: Check out to Sean Hannity Radio show later today.

Speaker 3: Paid for by Gold Co Chairman of the Hamilton County
Speaker 3: Republican Party, Judge Russell Mock, joining us for a few
Speaker 3: minutes this morning. Early voting begins in Ohio tomorrow and
Speaker 3: of course pointing towards that November fifth election day, and
Speaker 3: Judge Mock, it's pleasure to have you. How are you.
Speaker 10: Doing Garry Jeff, Good morning, sir, for early Monday morning.
Speaker 10: I'm doing fantastic, but you're absolutely right. Tomorrow tomorrow is
Speaker 10: a big day, October eight, voting starts. But I do
Speaker 10: want to remind all of your listeners that the last
Speaker 10: day to register to vote and this election cycle is today.
Speaker 10: So go to the Hamilton County Board of Elections which
Speaker 10: is Hamilton Vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov and make
Speaker 10: sure that you're registered or you got your change or address.
Speaker 10: Very important. We have everybody registered and ready to go.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean how many how many dead people do
Speaker 3: the Democrats have registered already? I mean, should should you
Speaker 3: get should you get grandma involved? If grandma's not around.
Speaker 10: I got to tell you from from mile my short
Speaker 10: time of being counting chairman and watching the folks on
Speaker 10: the Board of Elections on both sides, that can tell
Speaker 10: you they are there on top of this, they are
Speaker 10: completely going through those voter roles.
Speaker 8: And I will tell you I had one of.
Speaker 10: My good friends parents passed away over the summertime and
Speaker 10: they told me that they've already received a letter that they.
Speaker 8: Were taken off the voter role.
Speaker 10: So well, I think the BOE is doing a good job.
Speaker 10: I think the changes that they made up in Columbus
Speaker 10: in the last couple of years, I think we're going
Speaker 10: to have a secure and safe election, and I think
Speaker 10: we're going to win from the top all the way
Speaker 10: down to the bottom.
Speaker 3: Well from from you know what we saw in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty with all of the chaos that the COVID pandemic
Speaker 3: led into, and the mail in ballots and the absentee
Speaker 3: ballots and ballot boxes. I'm not a big fan of
Speaker 3: ballot boxes myself, but your thoughts on ballot drop off boxes, Russell, well.
Speaker 10: You know, it's against one of those things it's necessary
Speaker 10: to have. I know that there's a pending loss that's
Speaker 10: going on the folks filed claiming the Americans of disabilities violation.
Speaker 10: I think having one box the way that they do
Speaker 10: under twenty four hour surveillance, I think that's a reasonable accommodation.
Speaker 10: And I think again the safeguards is the legislatures taken
Speaker 10: and the Board of Elections. I think it's okay to
Speaker 10: vote that way. I think people dropping off ballots for
Speaker 10: an infirm friend or family's fine. Obviously, ballot harvesting and
Speaker 10: bundling what they do is not.
Speaker 8: And I think the way that they have the voter
Speaker 8: box set up, I think they'll they'll catch those issues.
Speaker 8: So I feel confident this year.
Speaker 10: I feel you know, as you know, twenty twenty was
Speaker 10: a crazy year all the way around, and there was
Speaker 10: a lot that went on, and I think it's going
Speaker 10: to be a lot better here in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: So let's talk about these local races. Judge Melissa Powers
Speaker 3: for Hamilton County Prosecutor, I know she has a stellar
Speaker 3: record as a judge. What are what are County Pillages
Speaker 3: qualifications to be prosecutor of Hamilton County? Can you filled
Speaker 3: me in on the opposition?
Speaker 8: Absolutely?
Speaker 10: Well, I guess I'll kind of start out with a
Speaker 10: little bit of a metaphor. You know, are you going
Speaker 10: to let your friends or family get on a commercial
Speaker 10: airline go on a flight when you have a pilot
Speaker 10: who's never landed a plane. You know, County Village is
Speaker 10: dangerously unqualified the whole the position of prostenic attorney, which
Speaker 10: is the most important elected county office for a number
Speaker 10: of reasons which I don't need to get in with
Speaker 10: you today, but you know, County Pillage has never prosecuted
Speaker 10: a single case in her life. And I think about it,
Speaker 10: So we're going to hire somebody to somebody to run
Speaker 10: the most important office, tried to keep our community safe.
Speaker 10: And she's never handled a single criminal prosecution in her life.
Speaker 10: You know, she hasn't been in a courtroom in over
Speaker 10: twenty years. You know, a lot has changed at the
Speaker 10: crack cocaine days back in the early two thousands when
Speaker 10: she was you know, was a practicing attorney for a
Speaker 10: short period of time. And I think the most telling
Speaker 10: about whether she's unqualified is she actually had she had
Speaker 10: let her law license lapse, and last year she had
Speaker 10: to actually re up her law license. You know, I'm
Speaker 10: a lawyer, and so I know how you know, you've
Speaker 10: I put a lot of work into getting that license,
Speaker 10: and it takes a lot of work to keep that license.
Speaker 10: She actually let that law license lapse and she had
Speaker 10: to re up her law license as she would even
Speaker 10: be eligible to run this year. So, you know, and
Speaker 10: Melissa Powers had been a practicing attorney, she's been a prosecutor.
Speaker 10: She was a judge for some teen years in two
Speaker 10: different courts. She's heard thousands and thousands of cases, and
Speaker 10: there's no one better for this position and Melitsa Powers.
Speaker 3: What are what are you being told about how this
Speaker 3: is going? I mean I have seen, I guess I've
Speaker 3: seen ads for both candidates on television. I'm a Kentucky voter,
Speaker 3: so obviously the BOE they're doing such a good job.
Speaker 3: I could never vote in your election. I don't want to.
Speaker 3: But so tell me what's the read you're getting Because
Speaker 3: you said you were positive at the start of this,
Speaker 3: and it's been Hamilton County has been like the city
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati. I mean, at least Hamilton County is still
Speaker 3: kind of purple according to the last few elections, but
Speaker 3: Cincinnati has just died in the wool blue right now
Speaker 3: according to the most recent election results, and it's just
Speaker 3: been going that way more and more. So what is
Speaker 3: the source of your optimism?
Speaker 10: Source of often is people see what's going on in
Speaker 10: the community, the lack of public safety. You know, they're
Speaker 10: reading in the paper and on social media about soft
Speaker 10: on crime, liberal judges that you know are not holding
Speaker 10: people with appropriate bailments, for not sending people to prison.
Speaker 8: And you know, Melissa Powers is the one.
Speaker 10: That's been fighting back against that. So you know, I
Speaker 10: talked a little bit about Melissa's record. Let's talk about
Speaker 10: the record that we know about connic pillage. You know,
Speaker 10: the only thing you can really go look at is
Speaker 10: when she was in the state she represented to the
Speaker 10: state rep and if you go up and if you
Speaker 10: dig into some of her voting, you know she she
Speaker 10: sided with the liberal politicians and judges every time she's
Speaker 10: up there. You know, she voted repeatedly against funding programs
Speaker 10: that woul would support victims of crime. She sponsored a
Speaker 10: bill to make it harder for the police to investigate
Speaker 10: juveniles who commit violent crimes. And as we know locally,
Speaker 10: you know what's going on in juvenile court and the
Speaker 10: amount of violence going on there, she made that easier
Speaker 10: and more difficult for law enforcement to proscate this cas is.
Speaker 10: She actually also is a state representative, voted against legislation
Speaker 10: that would have increased penalties for sex traffickers. And I
Speaker 10: could go on and on, but she's had a liberal
Speaker 10: agenda which has made our community less safe.
Speaker 8: And Melissa's campaign is pointing that out.
Speaker 10: You know, she's going to be on television, she's going
Speaker 10: to be on radio.
Speaker 8: She has incredible endorsements.
Speaker 10: People that have worked with her for many many years,
Speaker 10: and they know she's the right person to keep us
Speaker 10: safe and Connie Pillage is dangerous.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk since you were the Hamilton County Republican chairman,
Speaker 3: let's talk about the District one race for the House
Speaker 3: of Representatives, mister Orlandos Tanza.
Speaker 10: Well, hopefully if any if you or any of your
Speaker 10: listeners watched the last two debates with Orlando, you know
Speaker 10: it was absolutely clear who is the better person to
Speaker 10: lead us in H one and.
Speaker 8: That's Orlando Santa. You know, I don't know if you
Speaker 8: had the opportunity to meet Orlando, but everybody that does.
Speaker 8: And he absolutely likes up a room.
Speaker 10: You know, top ten in his class at West Point
Speaker 10: military officer went on to get his CPA.
Speaker 8: He's an attorney.
Speaker 10: Uh, he was an assistant prosecuty attorney. He now runs
Speaker 10: the victims to sit there. I mean he he is
Speaker 10: a guy who is going to need.
Speaker 8: Our country.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 10: You know, he's dedicated his life of service to military
Speaker 10: post family and if you watch that, you watch that debate,
Speaker 10: you will know that he's ready to lead us.
Speaker 3: Well. Fantastic, Uh, and just your thoughts, Russell Locke, if
Speaker 3: any on our federal presidential election, and how do we
Speaker 3: turn things around in Cincinnati and Hamilton County? And do
Speaker 3: you do you think that is that is beginning to happen.
Speaker 3: I know that there have been chinks in the Democrats
Speaker 3: armor many places that have been pointed out out in
Speaker 3: this presidential election. I mean, there's even talk that Donald
Speaker 3: Trump may win New York. I think that's probably not
Speaker 3: going to happen, but there's still it's for the first
Speaker 3: time in a long time, it's a possibility, at least
Speaker 3: in some people's minds. What about Cincinnati and Hamilton County
Speaker 3: and the presidential election?
Speaker 10: Russell Well, I know what the You know again, look
Speaker 10: at the demographics of Hamilton County and you know it's
Speaker 10: been it's been challenging.
Speaker 8: But I truly believe that when people are.
Speaker 10: In that polling place, which hopefully they go and vote
Speaker 10: early this year, are doing their mail and ballot, I mean,
Speaker 10: they have.
Speaker 8: To ask themselves whose policies are going to be better
Speaker 8: for the country.
Speaker 10: You know, we absolutely just cannot take four more years
Speaker 10: of this, Harris Biden. You know, we're thirty four trillion
Speaker 10: dollars in debt, we have open borders, we have twenty
Speaker 10: five million illegal immigrants that have come in that is
Speaker 10: affecting the economy, public safety, and I think people are
Speaker 10: going to just look and say, we can't.
Speaker 8: Do this anymore.
Speaker 10: We can having a few more, you know, four more
Speaker 10: years of this and I think you know, people know
Speaker 10: that President Trump, with Shade Vans to the side, are
Speaker 10: going to return us to prosperity. And I think they're
Speaker 10: going to really be ready to support President Trump. And again,
Speaker 10: if you watch the debate with Senator Vance last week,
Speaker 10: I mean it was clear. I mean Senator Advance is
Speaker 10: ready to lead, He is ready to support the president
Speaker 10: and you know not still a line from the Democrats,
Speaker 10: but it is time. You know, they were talking about
Speaker 10: turning the page. Well we need to turn the page
Speaker 10: on them and put President Trump and Advance back into
Speaker 10: the White House.
Speaker 3: Any final thoughts, Judge Mark on Uh before we before
Speaker 3: we have to part ways here. I know, like you said,
Speaker 3: today is the last day to get registered. If you're
Speaker 3: not a registered voter or you're not sure in Ohio,
Speaker 3: today is the day, right.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, and again don't forget no one.
Speaker 8: Issue one, no one issue one.
Speaker 10: You know, again, we can we can talk on and
Speaker 10: on and out that but you know, well.
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's let's go ahead and bring back what
Speaker 3: an Issue one is for people.
Speaker 10: Absolutely Issue one is as labeled as the anti jerrymandering. Again,
Speaker 10: we have outside special winterest groups coming into Ohio spending
Speaker 10: millions of dollars trying to monkey with our constitution again.
Speaker 10: You know, the voters of Ohio and.
Speaker 8: Twenty fifteen and I think twenty eighteen voted.
Speaker 10: Overwhelmingly by seventy percent protect us against anti jerimandering provisions.
Speaker 8: And you know, here we go again.
Speaker 10: You know, the Democrats can't win at the ballot box,
Speaker 10: and so now they're trying to change the rules statewide
Speaker 10: to give them.
Speaker 8: An advantage they want to be able to take.
Speaker 10: You know, have retired judges pick a group of unelected
Speaker 10: bureaucrats to draw these lines. You know, and even now,
Speaker 10: you know, the Secretary of State labeled it actually Issue
Speaker 10: one would put jerrymandering into our constitution, not take it out,
Speaker 10: not protect us, or put it in. And just last
Speaker 10: week the highest Supreme Court ruled that they agreed with
Speaker 10: that on the ballot language. And so this is bad
Speaker 10: for Ohio. This is just an absolute power power grab,
Speaker 10: you know, fueled by foreign especially winterest groups you know
Speaker 10: that just want to rig our elections, and so we
Speaker 10: have to make sure that everybody votes.
Speaker 8: Know on issue one.
Speaker 3: Judge Russell Mock, thank you so much for your time
Speaker 3: this morning. Joe's mad at me because I've blown past
Speaker 3: the break, so I guess I better go take care.
Speaker 3: It's six forty one at fifty five KRCV talk station.
Speaker 3: Are you dreaming of? A Civil Rights Act? In nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty four bars sexual discrimination in the workplace? Sex discrimination
Speaker 3: rel A trial court in the sixth US Circuit Court
Speaker 3: of Appeals have ruled against this woman who is claiming
Speaker 3: she lost her job because she is straight. The Supreme
Speaker 3: Court is taking up that case Marlene Ames. The Justice's
Speaker 3: last Friday, agreed to review an appellate ruling that upheld
Speaker 3: the dismissal of the discrimination lawsuit filed by Marlene against
Speaker 3: the Ohio Department of Youth Services. Arguments will probably take
Speaker 3: place early next year. This is another one of those
Speaker 3: big landmark cases that the Supreme Court will be hearing
Speaker 3: in this new session about to begin. Ames worked for
Speaker 3: the department for twenty years, contend she was passed over
Speaker 3: for a promotion and then demoted because she is heterosexual.
Speaker 3: Both the jobs she sought and the one she held
Speaker 3: given to LGBTQ EI EIO people. The question for the
Speaker 3: justices is that the Sixth Circuit and several other appeals
Speaker 3: courts apply a higher standard when members of a majority
Speaker 3: group make discrimination claims. In other words, because there were
Speaker 3: more straight people than gay or lesbian people. The standards higher.
Speaker 3: People alleging workplace bias have to show background circumstances, including
Speaker 3: that LGBTQ people made the decisions affecting aims, or statistical
Speaker 3: evidence showing a pattern of discrimination against members of the
Speaker 3: majority group, and the Appeals Court said that she didn't
Speaker 3: provide any such circumstances. I don't know if this is
Speaker 3: true or not. I don't know if she lost her
Speaker 3: job with an Ohio agency, Department of Youth Services because
Speaker 3: she was not gay, but she's making that contention, and
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court has decided to take up the case
Speaker 3: the dismissal of that discrimination suit to find out. And
Speaker 3: also the other story which we kind of mentioned earlier.
Speaker 3: And you may have heard about a court in Clark County.
Speaker 3: I guess the county court there has referred a case
Speaker 3: against Donald Trump and JD Vance by a citizens group
Speaker 3: to prosecutors for comments they made, supposedly wrong comments or
Speaker 3: untrue comments they made about the Haitian immigrants in Springfield.
Speaker 3: The Bridge Alliance, the Haitian Bridge Alliance, are making us
Speaker 3: trying to make us citizens arrest. They're like Gomer on
Speaker 3: Andy Griffith trying to make a citizens arrest. But they
Speaker 3: because of the chaos and the threats that occurred after
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and JD Vance's statements about the Haitian immigrants
Speaker 3: in Springfield. And again, you drop fifteen to twenty thousand
Speaker 3: people who don't know the culture, don't know the language,
Speaker 3: don't care pretty much about any kind of assimilation into
Speaker 3: a new location, and you're gonna have issues. I don't
Speaker 3: know if they were eating dogs and cats. That's been
Speaker 3: the one sticking point here is that there were stories
Speaker 3: being related and then retold by Donald Trump and Jade
Speaker 3: Vance about the Haitian immigrants in Springfield stealing people's pets
Speaker 3: and eating them. What I have heard someone witness firsthand
Speaker 3: is some of these Haitian immigrants, not all of them,
Speaker 3: stealing and harvesting geese and ducks. Geese are illegal anytime
Speaker 3: and the ducks. There's a hunting season for that. And
Speaker 3: do they have hunting license? Oh wait, do they have
Speaker 3: driver's licenses while they're out driving cars illegally in Springfield
Speaker 3: causing accidents. I mean, you have to be on the
Speaker 3: ground to actually know what's happening. And because the mayor
Speaker 3: of Springfield and the governor of Ohio say that these
Speaker 3: are untrue, that doesn't mean Diddley squat because the mayor
Speaker 3: of Springfield is probably just trying to keep his head
Speaker 3: above water with the influx of all these people who
Speaker 3: don't speak the language and don't know how to drive
Speaker 3: into his community and hoping he I guess they're getting
Speaker 3: patting money from the government. I know the NGOs that
Speaker 3: help sponsor them and bring them in and get them
Speaker 3: temporary productive status, which doesn't expire I think till twenty
Speaker 3: twenty six, these fifteen to twenty thousand Haitians that were
Speaker 3: shipped into Springfield over the last few years. But I
Speaker 3: understand why the mayor would say, no, that's not true.
Speaker 3: He's got a town to run, and he's got a
Speaker 3: reputation to uphold and put the best face on. And
Speaker 3: the governor of Ohio, we know what a prize Mike
Speaker 3: Dowine is. Do you remember COVID? Do you remember the lockdowns?
Speaker 3: Do you remember the spacey chick who was his COVID advisor,
Speaker 3: Jody what was her name? Yes, Amy Acton, that weirdo
Speaker 3: who had about as much credibility as all of the
Speaker 3: rest of the lockdown oriented people during the pandemic or
Speaker 3: what I call the scamdemic. So, I mean, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: trust a word Mike DeWine says about anything because he's
Speaker 3: the head of a large political machine and got reelected
Speaker 3: in spite of his bungling of the COVID pandemic, like
Speaker 3: so many politicians and people that supposedly work for us,
Speaker 3: and the mayor of Springfield, I mean, he's going to
Speaker 3: put the best face on the town. He's a mare
Speaker 3: of so of course they're not going to cop to
Speaker 3: any kind of chaos calls by the immigrants themselves. It's
Speaker 3: the chaos of Donald Trump and JD. Vance talking about
Speaker 3: the immigrants in Springfield that's the problem. But again we
Speaker 3: will see where that goes. I would say, like a
Speaker 3: lot of the other legal burning arrows that have been
Speaker 3: flung Donald Trump's way, it will end in nothing because
Speaker 3: there's nothing there. And then the claims that FEMA diverted
Speaker 3: funds to immigration efforts instead of for American citizens who
Speaker 3: are suffering right now by the thousands in North Carolina,
Speaker 3: South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. That's on the docket as
Speaker 3: we continue on this Monday morning, October seventh, the Somber
Speaker 3: anniversary of the attack on Israel by Iran and Homas
Speaker 3: coming up on six fifty five. Again, we'll take that break.
Speaker 3: Chris Mitherman will be with us about seven to twenty
Speaker 3: this morning. And so it goes the morning show on
Speaker 3: fifty five krs the talk station, the.
Speaker 1: Latest on the election minutes away at the top of
Speaker 1: the album, because you got to stay informed and up
Speaker 1: to date. Fifty five krs the talk station. It is
Speaker 1: their votes stame Weird America.
Speaker 9: First, we call it news staying updated on the election.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs the talk.
Speaker 3: Station, thirty days until that election day. Early voting begins
Speaker 3: in Ohio tomorrow, and as Chairman Mox said, if you're
Speaker 3: not registered to vote in Ohio, today's the last day
Speaker 3: to do it. So get busy, register to vote and
Speaker 3: then vote period. In the story six minutes past the
Speaker 3: hour seven oh six Eastern time, Gary Jeff in for
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas. Five one, three, seven fifty five hundred is
Speaker 3: the number to get in touch. And Jay had some
Speaker 3: comments on my comments back on the back of my
Speaker 3: comments about Governor de Wine before the top of the hour, Jay,
Speaker 3: how are you hey? Good morning, Gary Jeff, How are
Speaker 3: you going fine? Thank you very much. Hey.
Speaker 12: There is a twenty nineteen inquirer Are article on Mike
Speaker 12: DeWine working with the Trump administration to settle refugees in
Speaker 12: Springfield from Haiti, and he has deep connections into Haiti
Speaker 12: with his school down there was named after his daughter,
Speaker 12: and he volunteered this without it making it public, so
Speaker 12: they sort of trickled in during the Trump administration. One
Speaker 12: thing I wanted to clear the record on is a
Speaker 12: lot of the folks that are there from Haiti in
Speaker 12: Springfield are not here illegally. They came through the border,
Speaker 12: just like the people that are coming from Middle Eastern
Speaker 12: countries and China, so they haven't gone through the refugee
Speaker 12: settlement program, so they're technically illegally here and there, but.
Speaker 3: They but they do have they do have temporary protected status.
Speaker 3: Don't they as a blank.
Speaker 12: If they've gone through the process. I'm sure a lot
Speaker 12: of them have just dropped in and settled into life
Speaker 12: and haven't done those So there is a share of them.
Speaker 12: There is a share of them that are not legally
Speaker 12: present in the country. But all the rumors that swirl
Speaker 12: around about them having massive amounts of money on their
Speaker 12: debit cards, all that stuff, I can't even imagine living
Speaker 12: in Springfield. That city's been beaten up since you know,
Speaker 12: the International Harvester.
Speaker 3: Days, and.
Speaker 12: It's it's never gotten back from having that happen. And
Speaker 12: to have twenty thousand people that don't know the culture,
Speaker 12: whether they're good or bad people, that mix is just
Speaker 12: going to be toxic. And that to know that the
Speaker 12: Wine worked with the Biden administration for that settlement without
Speaker 12: announcing anything or making a public or even having his
Speaker 12: fingerprints on it just ticks me off.
Speaker 3: So it's been about five years. You said that Donald
Speaker 3: Trump may have been involved with the first the first
Speaker 3: trickle of the Haitian immigrants coming to Springfield.
Speaker 12: Correct, it was after a hurricane that happened down there. Yeah,
Speaker 12: they did a lot of destruction. They brought in maybe
Speaker 12: three or fourth outdo three or four thousand from what
Speaker 12: I remember from that article. But after Biden took office
Speaker 12: and they had the massive surge across the border, that's
Speaker 12: when the rest of them came in, and that was
Speaker 12: cooperation with the wind.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what that that sounds very similar to
Speaker 3: the rest of the illegal immigration problem that we are
Speaker 3: dealing with right now. Under Trump, it was a trickle,
Speaker 3: and under Biden it's been just an onslaught. It's been
Speaker 3: like a hurricane, like in gorgement into the country, and
Speaker 3: it's just it's it's obvious to anyone with eyes to
Speaker 3: see who was the better commander in chief when it
Speaker 3: came to dealing with illegal immigration. I don't think there's.
Speaker 12: Any time else. I don't think it's a matter of
Speaker 12: enforcement on the Biden administration. I think this was on purpose.
Speaker 12: They opened the floodgates, they let it happen. They did
Speaker 12: it on purpose. It's not a matter of being inept
Speaker 12: or not able to do your job, may orcus as
Speaker 12: a demon. And this all happened for a reason for them,
Speaker 12: I think, partially to build up a voter base when
Speaker 12: they get all these people legalized.
Speaker 3: Well, sure, and like I said earlier, you're not just
Speaker 3: firing the Democrat in charge in the White House, whoever
Speaker 3: that may be. But you're firing may Orcus, You're firing
Speaker 3: Buddhage Edge, You're firing Gina Romando, who is totally incompetent
Speaker 3: as college it doesn't know she I mean, she has
Speaker 3: asked a direct question about something that is supposed to
Speaker 3: be her purview and she has no idea. Oh, refer
Speaker 3: to the White House on this. So if you vote
Speaker 3: for Donald Trump and he wins, all these people go away,
Speaker 3: go bye bye. All these incompetent DEI hires and everything
Speaker 3: else that has been associated with the Biden administration goes away,
Speaker 3: and people just think they're hiring a president. But what
Speaker 3: they're doing is they're hiring a new president who are
Speaker 3: we already have a track record of what he can
Speaker 3: do and did as President of the United States. But
Speaker 3: you're also hiring a whole new set of these department
Speaker 3: heads and secretaries for the Washington bureaucracy who may actually
Speaker 3: know what they're doing, don't you think? Yeah?
Speaker 12: Absolutely, I can't remember the name of the gentleman was there.
Speaker 12: Was Trump's last secretary of State. He was absolutely amazing.
Speaker 12: He was the best diplomat that I've seen in that
Speaker 12: role since probably the Clinton administration, even calling back all
Speaker 12: the way to Reagan. He kept the world at peace.
Speaker 12: He was strong, he was decisive, he didn't waiver, and
Speaker 12: he put America's interests first, and the world was calm.
Speaker 12: And look what we have now. The world's on fire.
Speaker 12: We're in World War three. It's just getting started. Well,
Speaker 12: you're getting rid of all those those current administration.
Speaker 3: Folks.
Speaker 11: Is going to be great.
Speaker 12: It's the only hope we have.
Speaker 3: I mean, Pete Buddha Judge has spent most of his
Speaker 3: time in office learning how to breastfeed his adopted Thank you,
Speaker 3: appreciate your thanks for listening. Another JA, we got dueling.
Speaker 3: Jay's on the phone. Jay, you're on the air. What's
Speaker 3: going on? Jay? Yeah, that's you. We went from one,
Speaker 3: We went from one JA to another. J Great.
Speaker 8: Hey, I just want to build on the previous day
Speaker 8: he got.
Speaker 13: I think, unless there's a couple of articles, I think
Speaker 13: he got something a little bit wrong. In twenty nineteen,
Speaker 13: Trump reached out to each of the governors in each
Speaker 13: of the fifty states and through an executive order and said,
Speaker 13: we're going to push the decision to immigration back to
Speaker 13: the States, which I agree with. And he went to
Speaker 13: all of the governors via Mike Pompeo and said do
Speaker 13: you want to do you want more immigration or do
Speaker 13: you want to shut it down? And Mike DeWine said, absolutely,
Speaker 13: we want more immigration. And if you just do a
Speaker 13: search on the Wine immigration Pompeo, you'll find it all
Speaker 13: over the place. I'm looking at an article right now
Speaker 13: from Idea Stream Public Media says dew Wine pushes back
Speaker 13: on White House immigration policy and the gentleman is right.
Speaker 8: The Wine has had.
Speaker 13: Decades of relationships of talks. In this article, He's been
Speaker 13: to Haiti over a couple hundred times, has a school
Speaker 13: that is now defunct called the Becky DeWine School down
Speaker 13: there in Haiti, was working with the Catholic Church down
Speaker 13: there in Haiti. And with there being over three hundred
Speaker 13: countries around the globe, I find that it is statistically
Speaker 13: off the charts significant that Springfield is overrun with Haitians.
Speaker 13: At the same time, when we have a governor who
Speaker 13: has this close tie with Catholic charities of some sort
Speaker 13: down in Haiti, and I think it's way past time
Speaker 13: for answers. So so Trump The only thing that the
Speaker 13: previous Jay got wrong was Trump wasn't pushing for immigration.
Speaker 13: Trump was trying to shut it down. And Trump was
Speaker 13: asking the governors and let the governors choose, and unfortunately
Speaker 13: thirty out of the fifty governors said no, we're good,
Speaker 13: let them. You know, we want more immigration. Only twenty
Speaker 13: said no, thanks, appreciate to help, mister pres and it
Speaker 13: shut it down. We're good, we don't want any more
Speaker 13: in our state.
Speaker 3: Well, it's you know what, and Jay, it's similar to
Speaker 3: Trump's real stand on the abortion issue, he says, and
Speaker 3: rightly so, because the Supreme Court ruled it that this
Speaker 3: is an issue that is a state's issue, not the
Speaker 3: federal government. And yet he's being tagged with being someone
Speaker 3: who wants a federal abortion man. Trump Trump knows the Constitution,
Speaker 3: and he has been trying to follow it. Uh, you know,
Speaker 3: directly in opposition with what the Democrats and Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: are saying about him.
Speaker 13: Right right, Well, what I do think, and I do
Speaker 13: applaud the previous Jay. We do need to get more
Speaker 13: word out, Derek, because it is silent about the Wine's
Speaker 13: culpability with all of this that he was given the
Speaker 13: opportunity with a president in the White House saying, okay,
Speaker 13: it's your ball, what do you want to do? And
Speaker 13: his answer was and you read the article, it talks
Speaker 13: about how Ohio has a rich heritage, We've got excellent
Speaker 13: systems in place, we've been extremely successful with controlling immigration,
Speaker 13: and there was no reason to change anything.
Speaker 8: So why doesn't he step.
Speaker 13: Up to a microphone or why doesn't somebody put a
Speaker 13: microphone in front of him and say explain yourself? But
Speaker 13: again he sits there quietly with his hands in his pockets,
Speaker 13: and everybody points to the what's going on down in DC.
Speaker 13: We don't have to go any further than Columbus.
Speaker 8: All we need is.
Speaker 13: Journalists who have some backbone and can get off their
Speaker 13: ass and go ask tough questions up into Columbus. But
Speaker 13: it seems to be that the silence is deafening.
Speaker 3: Well, Jay, thank you very much, and I think that's excellent,
Speaker 3: excellent advice. But will anyone follow it real quickly? West side? Jim,
Speaker 3: how you doing, my brother?
Speaker 8: Good morning, mister Walker.
Speaker 11: How I'm going fine?
Speaker 14: I'll make it quick because mister Smitherman is coming on
Speaker 14: in about fifteen minutes and there's nothing better than mister Smith.
Speaker 3: It's actually coming on early today, so please.
Speaker 14: Well, I'll make this quick when we vote this time,
Speaker 14: Remember this is a local go down the whole ballot.
Speaker 14: Our judges are probably one of the most besides Melissa Powers,
Speaker 14: who basically controls the judges to an extent. That is
Speaker 14: the most important part of this election because we learned
Speaker 14: through the last one without two hundred and seventy five
Speaker 14: years to three on as far as capabilities and experience,
Speaker 14: that we've got a serious problem in Hamilton County with
Speaker 14: these inexperienced judges and the lack of the quorum in
Speaker 14: their courtrooms. So I'm imploring everybody to make sure you
Speaker 14: go down that whole ballot. Just don't skip it at
Speaker 14: Donald Trumps and walk off or even Sonza, which you've
Speaker 14: got to vote for both of them. Go down with
Speaker 14: gop dot com on the judges, learn who they are,
Speaker 14: and make sure that you vote for the Republicans.
Speaker 8: And that's all I got, buddy, Well, and.
Speaker 3: That's all we need. But you're right, there is nothing
Speaker 3: more important, especially on a grassroots local level, than making
Speaker 3: sure our judicial system has confident people who will follow
Speaker 3: the law. Thank you, sir, Chris Smitherman coming up next
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Inexperienced prosecutors across the country.
Speaker 3: At seven twenty one, earlier than usual, we get Christopher
Speaker 3: Smitherman live prime time on fifty five KRC the Talk Station. Hello, Chris,
Speaker 3: how are you?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for having you on a little early,
Speaker 11: No problem, I very much appreciate it. And I've been
Speaker 11: listening to your show this morning. A great lineup already.
Speaker 11: I heard the Republican Party chairman Judge Mack come on
Speaker 11: and given update. Here's what I want to touch on, brother,
Speaker 11: and why I wanted a little extra time. One. I
Speaker 11: want to just acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness Month. That's happening,
Speaker 11: Amen right now.
Speaker 3: Since I'm since I am living with a breast cancer survivor. Chris,
Speaker 3: Amen again, Well.
Speaker 11: First, congratulations to your to your spouse who is a survivor.
Speaker 11: And that's what we're in the game to do. We
Speaker 11: want to meet and talk and have survivors. My wife
Speaker 11: unfortunately did not survive breast cancer, but but we look
Speaker 11: to women like in your life who are survivors. I
Speaker 11: sit on a board, the Karen Wellington Board, and our
Speaker 11: job is just to put fun on the calendar for
Speaker 11: women who are fighting breast cancer. So as they're going
Speaker 11: through their treatments, we send them on trips, we have
Speaker 11: them have spaw days. We just love on them to
Speaker 11: just make their moments normal. And I know you know
Speaker 11: that having a woman in your life that has gone
Speaker 11: through treatment, so I just want to acknowledge that this
Speaker 11: is breast cancer awareness. We love seeing the ribbons, we
Speaker 11: love seeing the pink shirts, we love seeing the pink hats,
Speaker 11: we love seeing men involved with this, like yourself, and
Speaker 11: we just want to love on those. And if there's
Speaker 11: a woman listening to you and I today, we want
Speaker 11: them to know that they're going to make it, that
Speaker 11: their treatment is going to be successful, and that we
Speaker 11: care very deeply for them. So thank you very much
Speaker 11: for allowing me to start off by just talking about
Speaker 11: breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 3: Mine, Chris, I got to tell you, and hearing you
Speaker 3: speak about it, I know how passionate you are because
Speaker 3: of your own personal experience and once you went through
Speaker 3: with your wife. But we were so blessed by the
Speaker 3: fact that the cancer had not spread at the time
Speaker 3: it was caught. And I still say that that early
Speaker 3: real screening is the best thing that anyone can do
Speaker 3: when it comes to treating breast cancer because the earlier,
Speaker 3: you know, the more they can do and the more
Speaker 3: they can work to keep it from, you know, becoming
Speaker 3: a life ending kind of situation. But we were so blessed.
Speaker 3: We walked into doctor Gunther's office for the consultation after
Speaker 3: they had found the mass, and he is the picture
Speaker 3: of it as we're in the office. First thing, they
Speaker 3: were still doing some COVID protocols with masks at the time,
Speaker 3: and we got in the room and he said, you
Speaker 3: guys want to wear these masks? No, is it good?
Speaker 3: And we all took our masks off. That was that
Speaker 3: was strike one in the right direction. The second thing
Speaker 3: is he has the sonic sonic image of the cancer,
Speaker 3: the little white dot there. He said, you know, I
Speaker 3: got to tell you I like this. He said, I
Speaker 3: like this tumor. And we're like, look, you like this tumor?
Speaker 3: He said, because it's it's what I call a wimpy tumor.
Speaker 3: And they were able to get it all. They took
Speaker 3: a lymph note out of course, to make sure that
Speaker 3: there was no cancer surrounding where they had taken the
Speaker 3: wimpy tumor from and and then it was radiation and
Speaker 3: no chemo. So we were very very lucky, very blessed
Speaker 3: that it was caught early and we had the kind
Speaker 3: of quality of care. But the story is different for everyone,
Speaker 3: and then there's always the danger of recurrence once you.
Speaker 11: Have That's all very true, you know, But I want
Speaker 11: to say to you first First, your story is just
Speaker 11: a heartwarming for me. And again I can't stress and
Speaker 11: those who have who have had breast cancer and survived,
Speaker 11: whether there is a widower who's listening, we love to
Speaker 11: hear those success stories like yours, that wimpy tumor that
Speaker 11: was treated, and your wife is a survivor because she
Speaker 11: can spread the word and give so many other women
Speaker 11: hope right that there is a cure and that there
Speaker 11: is a way to treat. And I will again stress
Speaker 11: that anyone listening who would like to nominate someone for
Speaker 11: the Karen Wellington Gift, just go to our website at
Speaker 11: www dot Karenwellington dot com. We were mean Pamela, my wife,
Speaker 11: Pamela and I benefited from the Karen Wellington Foundation where
Speaker 11: they put fun on our calendar, end of life, four
Speaker 11: stage and it was a beautiful weekend downtown with our
Speaker 11: entire immediate family and Pamela's mother. And it's something that
Speaker 11: my daughter, who is now sixteen at the time she
Speaker 11: with ten, still reflects on, still remembers that trip and
Speaker 11: the fun that we had with pam. So that's what
Speaker 11: makes the Karen Wellington Foundation so wonderful and so beautiful
Speaker 11: because we're not there to deal with more treatment. We're
Speaker 11: there to put fun on the calendar for those women.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's such a great, great way to help. Chris,
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. We got plenty more of time
Speaker 3: together if if you will allow us more time, and
Speaker 3: we're going to take a quick break and come back. Okay,
Speaker 3: thank you, brother, you got it. Chris Smitheman with us

Speaker 3: Breast Cancer Awareness Month October. Chris, so, a couple of things,
Speaker 3: A couple of things on the table. What else was?
Speaker 3: What else was you know buzzing around your brain this
Speaker 3: morning that you want to do address anything?
Speaker 11: Well, let me tell you, brother, this hurricane situation has
Speaker 11: so many tentacles to it. But let me just like
Speaker 11: the rest of the United States of America, if you're
Speaker 11: an American, your heart has to go out to those
Speaker 11: who live in Florida, Georgia, and specifically North Carolina. Today
Speaker 11: we have Americans who are suffering. They're not in Ukraine, right,
Speaker 11: They're not in Taiwan, right, they are right here in
Speaker 11: the United States of America, in the hills hills of
Speaker 11: North Carolina. And we still have You have a death
Speaker 11: toll of two hundred and twenty five Gary, Jeff, You
Speaker 11: and I know that that death toll by the time
Speaker 11: we get back next Monday is going to spike dramatically
Speaker 11: because there are people right now who do not know
Speaker 11: where their children are, They don't know where their spouses are,
Speaker 11: they don't know where their grandmothers are because they were
Speaker 11: swept away in the water, houses and structures. People that
Speaker 11: were on top of their roofs were swept away. The
Speaker 11: tragedy in all of this, Brother, is that we have
Speaker 11: an organization DHS and FEMA, who, in my opinion, has
Speaker 11: failed Georgia and North Carolina. See, the reason Florida does
Speaker 11: well is their governor is prepared organized. He has it
Speaker 11: because so many hurricanes like Milton, who's building right now
Speaker 11: and most likely will hit Florida in the next two days.
Speaker 11: But they are a state that they deal with it.
Speaker 11: Not that they don't have death and destruction Gary Jeff,
Speaker 11: But the reality of it is they have a governor
Speaker 11: and a team that are prepared. We didn't know what
Speaker 11: was going to hit Georgia. We didn't know what was
Speaker 11: going to hit South Carolina because it hasn't happened there
Speaker 11: in a thousand years. So the reality of it is,
Speaker 11: this is when you need your government the most and
Speaker 11: to wait up and here a sending money to Lebanon
Speaker 11: saying we're going to take care of them. We're gonna
Speaker 11: send hundreds of millions of dollars there when we can't
Speaker 11: find a helicopter to go into the hills of North
Speaker 11: Carolina and bring Americans home. Here's the reality, preach. You
Speaker 11: have people there, you have preachers, There'll be preachers. You
Speaker 11: have people there, brother who have high blood pressure, who
Speaker 11: needed their blood pressure medication over the last eleven days,
Speaker 11: and because they didn't get it, they're dying. They're people
Speaker 11: that need oxygen, they're dying. See the reality of it
Speaker 11: is is we could prevent these things if we had
Speaker 11: a government that was prepared. Whether it's incompetence, whether it
Speaker 11: is political, I have no idea. All I'm saying is
Speaker 11: when you listen to the people on the ground, not FEMA,
Speaker 11: not the talking kids they're telling you, I don't know
Speaker 11: where the hell FEMA is. The people that are supporting
Speaker 11: us are our churches. The people that are supporting us
Speaker 11: are our neighbors. The people that are supporting us are
Speaker 11: people who are coming here and volunteering and bringing their
Speaker 11: private helicopters and lifting us out of the hill. Now
Speaker 11: we know that the military and the Guard have arrived
Speaker 11: there in the last forty eight hours and they're lifting
Speaker 11: people out, but that's not what was happening over the
Speaker 11: last nine days, and people lost their lives because our
Speaker 11: government wasn't prepared. And we have a White House that's
Speaker 11: still sending money to Lebanon, still sending money to Ukraine.
Speaker 11: Now listen, brother, those of you who support Ukraine. I'm
Speaker 11: not pooh pooing on you. Here's what I'm saying, Americans. First,
Speaker 11: we've got to be able to take care of our
Speaker 11: own people before we start taking care of the whole
Speaker 11: damn world.
Speaker 3: Amen, and you know and Mike Johnson addressed the issue
Speaker 3: of the claims that FEMA diverted funds to immigration efforts,
Speaker 3: and he said, I understand why American people are disgusting,
Speaker 3: so breaking that down. And you brought this up, Chris
Speaker 3: in your diatribe. Here he said on Fox News on Sunday.
Speaker 3: The streams of funding are different. That is not an
Speaker 3: untrue statement, of course, but here's here's what happened. The
Speaker 3: Federal Emergency Management Agency, whose mission is to help people
Speaker 3: in times like this, a natural disaster, and not to
Speaker 3: be engaged in using any pool of funding from any
Speaker 3: account for resettling illegal aliens have come across the border.
Speaker 3: This is what the Biden administration, Kamala Harris and Secretary
Speaker 3: Mayorcus of the DHS have been engaged in. Now. He
Speaker 3: also said that when may Orcus said they were out
Speaker 3: of money, that's not necessarily true. So uh but but
Speaker 3: the entire administration, including their press secretary. You want to
Speaker 3: talk about a level, a level of incompetence, you need
Speaker 3: to look no farther than the White House Press Secretary
Speaker 3: Kareeine John Pierre, because in twenty twenty two, she said
Speaker 3: FEMA Regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on
Speaker 3: site to coordinate to coordinate available federal support from FEMA
Speaker 3: and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's
Speaker 3: Emergency Food and Shelter Program to eligible local governments and
Speaker 3: not for profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief
Speaker 3: for migrants. That's not what FEMA's that's not what they're
Speaker 3: supposed to be doing with any of our taxpayer money.
Speaker 3: Chris will take a quick break and come back for
Speaker 3: one more segment. All right, brother, Yes, sir, bro you
Speaker 3: got a Chris Smithman with us on the morning show
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRCV talk station Steve Air with USA Installation.
Speaker 3: It's getting time to get your home ready for the
Speaker 3: fall and winter heating season. Our premium falling year walls
Speaker 3: is the end ye ever since they have started construction
Speaker 3: on the four seventy one, the Big Mac Bridge. Any
Speaker 3: kind of little hiccup like the accident this morning is
Speaker 3: going to throw your way off on your schedule, So
Speaker 3: leave early if you got to. We continue our conversation
Speaker 3: with Christopher Smitherman on this Monday morning, October seventh, and Chris,
Speaker 3: today is the last day to register to vote in
Speaker 3: Ohio tomorrow the voting begins. Would you encourage people to
Speaker 3: vote early?
Speaker 11: Brother, you couldn't have tieved me up any better. Look,
Speaker 11: there are sixty year olds listening to us right now,
Speaker 11: fifty year old, seventy year olds across this great state
Speaker 11: and any state that's listening all the way down to Florida.
Speaker 11: Millions of people who have never registered and never voted
Speaker 11: in their life. I want to encourage them listening to
Speaker 11: their brother right now, and you their brother right now,
Speaker 11: to do something different in this election and understand that
Speaker 11: we need you. And today is the last day to
Speaker 11: get to your board of elections and register to vote.
Speaker 11: These races that are going to happen are going to
Speaker 11: come down to thousands of votes, even though millions of them.
Speaker 8: Are going to be cast.
Speaker 11: So if you're listening to me right now and you
Speaker 11: think that your vote doesn't count, it really counts. In
Speaker 11: this upcoming election, states will move by ten thousand votes
Speaker 11: even though millions of votes have been cast. Our friend,
Speaker 11: your friend, Jim Keeper, is right that when you do
Speaker 11: show up and vote, don't just vote for president, vote
Speaker 11: down the entire ticket. Go prepared, meaning think about what
Speaker 11: you're going to do before you get there, because there
Speaker 11: are some positions that do not have designations, meaning of
Speaker 11: their political party, So you have to go in thinking, Hey,
Speaker 11: who do I want to vote for and what do
Speaker 11: I want to have happen here? Today is the last
Speaker 11: day to vote. I heard I heard the chairman mock say,
Speaker 11: this is a last day to register. Well, that means
Speaker 11: that thousands of people could listen to you and I
Speaker 11: right now. Thousands of people who are not registered never
Speaker 11: vote if they're a seventeen year old. I register somebody
Speaker 11: on Friday or Thursday of last week who is going
Speaker 11: to turn seventeen next week, but they'll be seven, they'll
Speaker 11: be eighteen, I mean eighteen. Excuse me, they'll be eighteen
Speaker 11: next week, Gary, Jeff. But they weren't registered to vote.
Speaker 11: I could register them, which I did, and then they
Speaker 11: can vote on November the fifth. So there's somebody around
Speaker 11: listening right now, going, man, I didn't even know my
Speaker 11: seventeen year old who's going to be eighteen by the
Speaker 11: time they get to the election, could actually register to
Speaker 11: vote and participate in this in this process. I love
Speaker 11: people like Jim Neal, specifically in our county. I want
Speaker 11: to make sure that we get a share that we
Speaker 11: can trust. Jim Neil I like him. I like Melissa Powers.
Speaker 11: It's very important. The only person out there. I really
Speaker 11: trust her to take on criminals head on. And it
Speaker 11: doesn't matter here whether you're a Democrat or you're a
Speaker 11: Republican or like me and independent. I want my community safe.
Speaker 11: I'm going to vote my girl's safety. I have a
Speaker 11: sixteen year old daughter. I'm voting for safety, meaning if
Speaker 11: she gets in trouble, I want a Melissa Powers in
Speaker 11: the chair. That has nothing to do with what your
Speaker 11: political power is, whether the political position is, whether you're
Speaker 11: a Democrat and an independent or Republican. I'm letting you know
Speaker 11: Melissa Powers is the best candidate there in the race.
Speaker 11: Orlando Sonza I support him. He's running for Congress. He's
Speaker 11: a west Point graduate, his wife's a west Point graduate.
Speaker 11: This is a lawyer, a prosecutor, good guy, very smart.
Speaker 11: Why wouldn't we elevate him to Congress to represent the
Speaker 11: great state of Ohio. It doesn't matter whether you're a
Speaker 11: Democrat or Republican. If you're a veteran out there writing,
Speaker 11: you're thinking about who do I want to vote for?
Speaker 11: If you don't do the research and know that Orlando
Speaker 11: Sanza is a military veteran who went to West Point,
Speaker 11: served his country. Now is a lawyer and accountant, all
Speaker 11: of those things with a wonderful family man, with a
Speaker 11: beautiful wife and beautiful children. You might not go in
Speaker 11: and vote for him because you're a Democrat and he's not.
Speaker 11: It doesn't matter. We're voting for the people. We want
Speaker 11: to make sure that we get a strong government on
Speaker 11: the At the other side of this election, which goes
Speaker 11: beyond what your political party is and who the President
Speaker 11: of the United States is, that you're voting for. Judge
Speaker 11: Shanahan is out there. I really like her. Joe Dieters,
Speaker 11: I really like him. I can go on and on
Speaker 11: and on. Just listen to what Jim Keeper said, Vote
Speaker 11: down the entire ticket, vote for every single race that's
Speaker 11: on your ballot. That's a part of my spleensent that
Speaker 11: you set me up so wonderful for Gary jeff As.
Speaker 11: Today is ground zero, the last day to register to vote.
Speaker 11: The Super Bowl starts tomorrow. And don't be a talker.
Speaker 11: Don't just go to a bar with a T shirt
Speaker 11: on saying this is who you support and you're not
Speaker 11: a regis your voter, or you don't get out there
Speaker 11: and vote. The last thing I'll say to you is
Speaker 11: vote early. The game in this now has changed. Voting
Speaker 11: is thirty days in Ohio. Vote early, bank your vote now.
Speaker 11: The reason you do that is that candidates can tell
Speaker 11: Gary Jeff whether you voted or not. And so if
Speaker 11: you get out of the way, meaning you vote and
Speaker 11: get out of the way, they can focus on those
Speaker 11: high risk voters who aren't participating, so they can knock
Speaker 11: on their door and say where are you are you going? Oh,
Speaker 11: I'm a traditionalist. I'm only going to vote on election day, Okay,
Speaker 11: but I want to make sure you show up on
Speaker 11: November the fifth. I know where you are. I'm going
Speaker 11: to vote early. I'm encouraging others to vote early because
Speaker 11: the game has changed, and in order for your candidate
Speaker 11: to win, we've got to make sure we get a
Speaker 11: high voter turnout and that we are diligent. In my
Speaker 11: opinion about voting early.
Speaker 3: When you mentioned Chris about the voter who was going
Speaker 3: to turn eighteen before election day and getting them registered
Speaker 3: to vote, I remember I got to vote in the
Speaker 3: first residential election in nineteen eighty where eighteen year olds
Speaker 3: were allowed to vote, and I was so thrilled that
Speaker 3: they were intrusting me with this piece of democracy, American democracy.
Speaker 3: I couldn't wait to go and vote, and I have
Speaker 3: voted in every election since then. I consider it not
Speaker 3: only not only a privilege, but I considered it an
Speaker 3: honor to let my voice be heard because you know,
Speaker 3: and you made a good point about going to a
Speaker 3: bar with a T shirt on for who you support,
Speaker 3: but you're not registered to vote, and T shirts don't vote,
Speaker 3: and T shirts aren't going to get your candidate over
Speaker 3: the hump. But you can. And this is so important
Speaker 3: because there were so many places around the world to
Speaker 3: this day, Chris, where you don't have any voice, and
Speaker 3: the people who are governing you you don't have any
Speaker 3: choice in what you are you having to live with
Speaker 3: and deal with. In America, you have that choice, You
Speaker 3: have that voice, and to let that voice remain silent
Speaker 3: is just a damn shame, I think, And so it
Speaker 3: really is.
Speaker 11: And look, Gary, Jeff. The purpose of government, in my opinion,
Speaker 11: the number one purpose is safety of its people, period,
Speaker 11: whether that's the military, whether that's the police, whether that's
Speaker 11: the fire Department. Those are examples of that, whether that's
Speaker 11: sanitation collection, that's a part of safety, meaning the government
Speaker 11: is in the business of safety. Listen to the candidates
Speaker 11: who are saying they're into safety and making sure that
Speaker 11: you're safe. I mean, I'm not interested in the next program.
Speaker 11: I want to be able to walk outside my door
Speaker 11: and knocket shot. I want to make sure that China
Speaker 11: isn't knocking on our door and dropping bombs or having
Speaker 11: an experience like pearl Hart, which means that we have
Speaker 11: to have a strong military. I don't want to face
Speaker 11: our enemies with a broomstick. I want to face them
Speaker 11: with a shotgun. And so the reality of it is
Speaker 11: you have got to vote your safety. You also have
Speaker 11: to vote your economics. I'm telling everybody just go to
Speaker 11: your neighborhood grocery store. Look at what it costs to
Speaker 11: buy a steak. Look at what it costs to buy chicken.
Speaker 11: Look at what it costs to buy eggs, look at
Speaker 11: what it costs to buy milk. Vote your economics, meaning
Speaker 11: why would you do the same, Why would you go
Speaker 11: in and vote in a way that's going to destroy
Speaker 11: your own home. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 11: And so what happens is what politicians try to do
Speaker 11: is they try to distract you with shiny objects, make
Speaker 11: you talk and discuss about things that really don't impact
Speaker 11: your daily life. Talk to people in North Carolina right now,
Speaker 11: Talk to people in Georgia right now, talk to people
Speaker 11: in Florida right now, and ask yourself, what do you
Speaker 11: think they care about right now? They care about their safety.
Speaker 11: They care about their grandmothers and their sisters and their daughters,
Speaker 11: and their churches that have been washed away, and a
Speaker 11: government that cannot come and save them but can send
Speaker 11: money to Ukraine. Now I'm not saying I don't care
Speaker 11: about Ukraine. I'm saying I care about America. And if
Speaker 11: my mother was stranded in the hills a dog on
Speaker 11: North Carolina, I'd be saying, government, where are you? Stop
Speaker 11: getting on Twitter? And FEMA director saying, oh, we're doing
Speaker 11: a great job. When you talk to the churches and
Speaker 11: you talk to the volunteers and they say, we don't
Speaker 11: know where they are, we haven't seen them, they should
Speaker 11: be leading the effort and organizing the rescues, not having
Speaker 11: some guy with a private helicopter flying into the hills
Speaker 11: and bringing out grandma who doesn't have oxygen. This is
Speaker 11: the stuff that insenses me. And I'm listening to voters
Speaker 11: out here who are focused on things that don't make
Speaker 11: any damn sense. Vote your security, vote your economics, can unities,
Speaker 11: and your children. I don't want my daughter to be
Speaker 11: raped by anybody, but let me tell you, having somebody
Speaker 11: in this country that shouldn't be here, that rapes her
Speaker 11: and murders her, that has my undivided attention and Georgia
Speaker 11: experience that so many of our states experience, that I'm
Speaker 11: voting my daughter's safety. That's what I'm voting when I
Speaker 11: go into this election, because I don't want to wake
Speaker 11: up and be a hypocrite.
Speaker 3: Precisely why I'm voting for the America First candidate. Uh great,
Speaker 3: Christopher Smitherman, Thank you so much, as always.
Speaker 11: Thank you, nice good night. Follow me at vote Smitherman.
Speaker 11: At Vote Smitherman. Follow me. I will do my very
Speaker 11: best to educate you. I'm not going to tell you
Speaker 11: who to vote for, but I'm certainly going to provide
Speaker 11: you information on my ex account, on my Twitter account
Speaker 11: that will walk you through the process. Think for yourself.
Speaker 3: God bless and God bless this Flea event. All right,
Speaker 3: it's seven fifty fifty five krs the talk station times.
Speaker 3: Voting in Ohio starts tomorrow. It also begins in Dearborn County,
Speaker 3: Indiana tomorrow, Tuesday, October eighth, today the last date to
Speaker 3: registered to vote in the state of Ohio. So that
Speaker 3: out of the way, Gary jeffn for Brian Thomas on
Speaker 3: this Monday, October seventh, twenty twenty four and ushering in
Speaker 3: a new hour, let's talk to Mark Mix. Mark, of course,
Speaker 3: is the president of the National Right to Work Committee,
Speaker 3: has a two point eight million members in their policy organization,
Speaker 3: public policy organization. He also serves as president of the
Speaker 3: National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. And when we
Speaker 3: scheduled this, Good morning.
Speaker 8: Mark, Good morning, Gary Jeff.
Speaker 3: When we scheduled this, it was on the premise of
Speaker 3: the dock workers going on strike on the East Coast
Speaker 3: and Gulf Coast that has at least temporarily been resolved
Speaker 3: since we first wanted to talk to you. But tell me,
Speaker 3: tell me what you know about the situation where the
Speaker 3: negotiations are and could this blow up at any time?
Speaker 2: Well, it's certainly Kenn, Gary Jeff, and I'm reminded of
Speaker 2: that great line from Animal House by John Belushi, it's
Speaker 2: not over until we say it's over.
Speaker 1: And was it.
Speaker 2: Over when the Germans bomb for Harvard? I think that's
Speaker 2: how the dialogue went, or something like that. Yeah, But anyway,
Speaker 2: you know, this is basically a political issue now, Gary Jeff,
Speaker 2: as you might imagine, the politics of the supply chain
Speaker 2: shutting down the East Coast was way too much for
Speaker 2: the Biden Harris Harris Biden administration to take, and so
Speaker 2: I think there probably was a finger on the scale
Speaker 2: to get them to agree to basically put it aside,
Speaker 2: put it on after the election. And I mean, obviously,
Speaker 2: the one thing the union's got for doing that was
Speaker 2: a sixty two percent increase in their wages that was
Speaker 2: above what the United States Maritime Alliance had offered to
Speaker 2: you know, their last negotiation with a fifty percent pay increase,
Speaker 2: a triple the employee retirement contributions, strengthen the healthcare options,
Speaker 2: and maintain the current language about automation. But this is
Speaker 2: not over, Gary Jeff, as you said, you know it was.
Speaker 2: I think you said inside my quotation marks over. It's
Speaker 2: not over until the union says it's over.
Speaker 3: Right, exactly, and now there was there was a possibility
Speaker 3: of Biden invoking the Taft Hartley Act to end this.
Speaker 3: Should he have or is that? Is that overreached by
Speaker 3: the federal government?
Speaker 2: Mark Well, I mean, it's not an overreach. It's not
Speaker 2: something that's mandatory. The Taft Hartly Act allows the President
Speaker 2: of the United States to basically say there's going to
Speaker 2: be an eighty day cooling off period in any strike
Speaker 2: that affects national security, the economic safety of the country.
Speaker 2: Those are the kind of the criteria. I know that
Speaker 2: sounds pretty vague and pretty general, but there's no requirement.
Speaker 2: Unlike the Railroad Labor Act, which has specific rules about
Speaker 2: how a strike occurs in the railway or airline industry,
Speaker 2: there was no mandatory requirement for the president say hey,
Speaker 2: we need a cooling off period. It was purely political.
Speaker 2: They could have done it, but I think in this case,
Speaker 2: after the railroad strike, when the Biden administration crammed down
Speaker 2: a contract on the railway unions, there was real anger
Speaker 2: by the union officials there, and I don't think Harris
Speaker 2: were well, I don't know what Biden wanted, but I
Speaker 2: don't think Harris wanted that. As we head into what
Speaker 2: four weeks to go to the election, so he didn't
Speaker 2: have to do it. Basically, what he's done to Facto
Speaker 2: by getting this agreement is he pushed it out. And
Speaker 2: you know what, Harold Daggett, the president of the International
Speaker 2: Longshoremans Association, which controls the porch from May all the
Speaker 2: way around to Houston, what he said is, yeah, go
Speaker 2: ahead and vote tap Hartley. You think my men will
Speaker 2: go back on the pier and they'll make what eight
Speaker 2: moves an hour as opposed to thirty or thirty five
Speaker 2: moves an hour? He said, the employers will still have
Speaker 2: to pass, but we won't do any work. So that's
Speaker 2: his response to the Taft Harley implementation.
Speaker 3: And what's some background on this? On this guy was
Speaker 3: a dagget you.
Speaker 8: Said, Harold Gaggett.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He is not the most savory of characters, is he.
Speaker 8: Mark Well, he's.
Speaker 2: Been investigated by federal prosecutors for being involved with organized crime,
Speaker 2: and several of his associates at the International Longshoreman's Association
Speaker 2: have been convicted of various operations with organized crime and
Speaker 2: gambling and other things.
Speaker 11: That that are.
Speaker 2: I mean, you just do this stuff on the port,
Speaker 2: Gary Jack you. You know, there's a there's a poker room
Speaker 2: there in a gambling room and a booky room. I
Speaker 2: suspect I don't know these things. But yeah, he's been
Speaker 2: the president of the union for a long time. And
Speaker 2: I think another part of this whole settlement, Gary Jeff,
Speaker 2: was the fact that he became a central focal port
Speaker 2: part of the debate over the labor dispute. I mean,
Speaker 2: this guy's making nine hundred thousand dollars a year living
Speaker 2: in a seven thousand plus square foot home with Beley convertible. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Bentley convertible in a five car garage. Now, most of
Speaker 2: the common folk out to be like.
Speaker 11: You and me.
Speaker 2: You know, we enjoy our homes and are in your
Speaker 2: case here, I think your dog you spoke about a
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, But I don't know. Bentley convertible sounds
Speaker 2: pretty nice, and that's not the common man's mode of transportation.
Speaker 8: It's in my.
Speaker 3: View, I mean, all unions are not created equal, and
Speaker 3: I think you'd be the first to admit that mark.
Speaker 3: But it just seems like, I mean, and that knowing
Speaker 3: his nine hundred thousand dollars salary and all the things
Speaker 3: you just mentioned, made me reminisce back to the lovely
Speaker 3: days of Yasser Arafat. And here's where the analogy is
Speaker 3: apt because Yasser Arafat, who was chairman of the Palestine
Speaker 3: Liberation Organization for years before he died, always claimed that
Speaker 3: the poor oppressed Palestinians he needed to help them. When
Speaker 3: he died, they found nine billion dollars in a secret
Speaker 3: bank account in Switzerland and the poor Palestinians were still starving.
Speaker 3: So I mean, oh my gosh, daggot sounds just like
Speaker 3: Yasser Arafat to me in that respect. What is the
Speaker 3: National Right to Work Legal Foundation working on these days?
Speaker 2: Mark, Yeah, Well, we're interested in this because I think
Speaker 2: one of the elements of the contract area Jeff, is
Speaker 2: going to be a drive to get the United States
Speaker 2: Maritime Association, which is the forty kind of shipping members.
Speaker 2: These are people from Europe and the Far East and
Speaker 2: Asia in those places that are negotiating with the unions
Speaker 2: over the use of the ports in the United States
Speaker 2: of America. So these ports, as I mentioned, from Maine
Speaker 2: to Houston. We're worried that one of the conditions that
Speaker 2: they're going to negotiate is that there can be no
Speaker 2: non union employees on the docks anywhere on the East
Speaker 2: coast right now. South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia all
Speaker 2: have what's called a hybrid labor model, which allows non
Speaker 2: union employees to work side by side with union employees.
Speaker 2: And so I think one of the things they're going
Speaker 2: to demand is that those non union employees be fired
Speaker 2: and or have to take a demotion and time served
Speaker 2: and end up in the hiring hall with zero experience.
Speaker 2: And we're worried about that. We put out a notice
Speaker 2: to port workers around the country that could they have
Speaker 2: rights and they can talk to us about their rights.
Speaker 2: But that's a pretty important part of all of this
Speaker 2: as it relates to the ports. On other issues we're
Speaker 2: helping and being October seventh, I will tell you we've
Speaker 2: got a lot of work on behalf of Jewish graduate
Speaker 2: students around the country at various universities like the Massachusetts
Speaker 2: Institute of Technology, who are Gary Jeff who are forced
Speaker 2: to associate with unions that are fomenting this Palestinian hamas
Speaker 2: has unrest on the campuses. They're forced to pay dues
Speaker 2: or fees to that union. They're forced to associate with
Speaker 2: that union. That's literally calling for the end of the
Speaker 2: Israel state and the boycott, divest, sanctioned agenda, all of that.
Speaker 2: So we're working with them, and then were working with
Speaker 2: employees all across the country to exercise their rights, not
Speaker 2: to get out of unions or beat up on unions
Speaker 2: at all, but to exercise basic individual employee rights in
Speaker 2: the workplace. And there's a lot of work to do,
Speaker 2: fortunately or unfortunately, I guess, Gary Jeff.
Speaker 3: What do you think about the non endorsement of Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris from the Teamsters and also the International Brotherhood of Firefighters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's a very interesting story and one that
Speaker 2: it comes with really a very simple solution. That is that,
Speaker 2: unfortunately for the Teamsters, they pulled their membership on who
Speaker 2: they supported for president, and I think in two polls
Speaker 2: they've almost sixty percent of the teams were said they
Speaker 2: supported Donald Trump. And for Sean O'Brien, the president of
Speaker 2: the Teams for the last year and a half or
Speaker 2: two years, to come out and say, yeah, our wholehearted
Speaker 2: support goes to Kamala Harris. He's a politician. To Gary Jeff,
Speaker 2: he has to run for office. And I think what
Speaker 2: he did, as he said look, if we just endorse
Speaker 2: no one will probably not cause as much trouble if
Speaker 2: we endorse Trump when it came to the rest of
Speaker 2: the union, the labor union movement, because those two I
Speaker 2: think both those unions, the firefighter or the police unions,
Speaker 2: excuse me, and the firefighters union and the Teamsters, they
Speaker 2: understand if their membership is supportive of Canada. That the
Speaker 2: union officials. And there's the point. There's the rugguary, Jeff.
Speaker 2: That disconnect between union officials and rank and file workers
Speaker 2: is growing wider and wider all the time because of
Speaker 2: the radical positions that many union officials are taking on
Speaker 2: political issues and political candidates.
Speaker 3: Have you got about five more minutes, Mark, I do?
Speaker 3: All right, fantastic, take a quick break and come back
Speaker 3: with Mark mix the president of the National Right to
Speaker 3: Work Committee and also president of the National Right to
Speaker 3: Work Legal Defense Foundation, on the doc workers strike or
Speaker 3: not strike and everything else revolving your right to work
Speaker 3: in America. It's eight fifteen fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 8: There are two types of pain in the world.
Speaker 3: Chuster, it's eight nineteen or so on this Monday, October seventh,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. I'm Gary Jenny in for Brian Thomas
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRC, the talk station, and we're talking
Speaker 3: to Mark Mix for the next few minutes again for
Speaker 3: the National Right to Work Committee and the National Right
Speaker 3: to Work Legal Defense Foundation. Mark, tell me a little
Speaker 3: bit about what you do, because I mentioned in the
Speaker 3: previous segment and you agreed with me. All unions are
Speaker 3: not created equal. Old unions are evil or compulsory. But
Speaker 3: what exactly are you working on these days?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jary j that's important. I mean, the ability to
Speaker 2: exercise your rights in the American workplace is not anti
Speaker 2: union or pro union. We believe that every worker should
Speaker 2: have the right to join a union. They choose to
Speaker 2: do so and choose that voluntarily. But unfortunately, for from
Speaker 2: federal labor law going back to the nineteen thirties, union
Speaker 2: officials have a unique position in between employers and workers
Speaker 2: in that they can force workers that never ask for,
Speaker 2: never wanted, never vote for a union to basically give
Speaker 2: up their rights to association and ced it to a
Speaker 2: private organization. And then, in the states that don't have
Speaker 2: right to work laws twenty six states do have, twenty
Speaker 2: four don't, you can be forced to pay as a
Speaker 2: condition of employment in order to get or keep a job.
Speaker 2: So our job at the National Right to Work Committee
Speaker 2: from a legislative standpoint is to help promote right to
Speaker 2: work laws and states, protect the right to work laws
Speaker 2: that around the books, and basically keep track of the
Speaker 2: legislation at the state level that gives union officials more
Speaker 2: power over workers. So that's a really important part of
Speaker 2: the legislative side. On the litigation side, we have nineteen
Speaker 2: staff attorneys who represent employees for free, helping them exercise
Speaker 2: their rights in the workplace when it comes to the
Speaker 2: compulsion and the force that exists in federal law, and
Speaker 2: also about issues like these Jewish students at MIT and
Speaker 2: Dartmouth and the University of Chicago and New York University
Speaker 2: and the City University of New York who are forced
Speaker 2: to associate with the union that's really contrary to who
Speaker 2: they are, their religious beliefs, their ideological beliefs, their philosophical beliefs.
Speaker 2: So helping employees navigate that labor policy that is almost
Speaker 2: what we're getting close to one hundred years old now
Speaker 2: in a different time, in a different place in the
Speaker 2: United States. We're trying to help employees understand their rights
Speaker 2: and protect their rights in the workplace. And those rights
Speaker 2: do include under federal law the ability to join together
Speaker 2: collectively to amplify their voice in the workplace. And we're
Speaker 2: not trying to unsettle that at all. But what we're
Speaker 2: trying to do is eliminate the compulsion and the force
Speaker 2: that exists in federal law and in state laws in
Speaker 2: some cases.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so often misstated that if you have if
Speaker 3: you're a right to work person, that you're anti union,
Speaker 3: and is simply not the case. But it's made just
Speaker 3: to it's more of a strong arm union tactic. And
Speaker 3: it is incomprehensible to me that a student at MIT
Speaker 3: would be forced to join a union basically that is
Speaker 3: supporting people that thinks that that Jewish student should be dead.
Speaker 3: It just I can't believe it in America, how that's
Speaker 3: could happen. I know that, I know you've worked on
Speaker 3: many cases in Ohio with your organization and others. We've
Speaker 3: discussed that in the past. And didn't Joe Biden come
Speaker 3: out and say that he was in favor of ending
Speaker 3: all these right to work laws in those twenty six
Speaker 3: states you mentioned, isn't that true?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He absolutely did, and so did Kamala Harris. You know,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden said there he said, and I'm trying to
Speaker 2: quote here Gary Jef because I can't deal without a
Speaker 2: small cause she's he said, let me be clear, there
Speaker 2: should be no right to work anywhere in America.
Speaker 11: Not a joke.
Speaker 1: Not a joke.
Speaker 8: So that was his framing.
Speaker 2: I don't know whether he knew what he was talking
Speaker 2: about or not at the time. And Kamala Harris says, look,
Speaker 2: we need to stop, we need to debates, the overturn
Speaker 2: all the right to work.
Speaker 11: Well was in the country.
Speaker 8: That's her position on the right to work.
Speaker 2: So they believe that the secret to the American enterprise
Speaker 2: and the American experiment and self government is to force
Speaker 2: people into unions, force them to pay union dues, and
Speaker 2: then everything will be just honky dory. So we disagree.
Speaker 2: I think the American people disagree. We did a poll
Speaker 2: with Scott rasp Musen, a very well respected polster with
Speaker 2: the Rescumusion media group that showed that eighty two percent
Speaker 2: of all Americans believe it's wrong to force workers to
Speaker 2: pay union dues or fees to get to keep a job.
Speaker 2: Union households people with union union members in their households,
Speaker 2: seventy nine percent agree with us that no one should
Speaker 2: be forced and that there's a reason for that, Gary
Speaker 2: jef it's people that join unions voluntarily that want to
Speaker 2: be in the un they're inherently stronger members of the union.
Speaker 2: They love what the union does for them, and unions
Speaker 2: have done good things for workers. The one thing they
Speaker 2: won't do is good for workers is continue to allow
Speaker 2: union officials and continue to demand that every worker pay
Speaker 2: them dues in order to work in America. It doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense. I mean, when you compel people and
Speaker 2: force people to do something, they're not as enthusiastic as
Speaker 2: those that would do it voluntarily. And that's a message
Speaker 2: for labor union officials. If they want to grow their ranks,
Speaker 2: go out and represent the workers that want your representation.
Speaker 2: Help them focus on the shop floor instead of politics,
Speaker 2: and you will be just fine.
Speaker 3: A lot of our listeners think that the federal government
Speaker 3: is coercive. You've got to have somewhere to turn where
Speaker 3: you're not being forced to do something and enjoy your
Speaker 3: life liberty and pursuit of happiness. And I think you
Speaker 3: guys do great work and I always glad to have
Speaker 3: you on any show that I'm doing. Any last word
Speaker 3: for anybody here in the last minute or so, Mark Mix.
Speaker 2: Well, i'll reemphasize what you talked about it in the
Speaker 2: segment before mine is people need to go vote. This
Speaker 2: is a grand experiment in self government. If we don't
Speaker 2: exercise that right, we get what we deserve. And you
Speaker 2: know we complain about government, just look in the mirror
Speaker 2: because it's we the people. We're the ones that actually
Speaker 2: make these decisions. And so as we close out here,
Speaker 2: Gary Jeff, and I assure you will remind people more
Speaker 2: as the site show goes on. But they've got to
Speaker 2: get out and vote. They've got to cast their vote,
Speaker 2: they've got to let their views be known, obviously by
Speaker 2: secret ballot. But and to your previous guest, I mean
Speaker 2: this election will be decided by maybe tens of thousands
Speaker 2: of people across the entire country, right across the entire country,
Speaker 2: Gary Jeff. So that's what I encourage people to do.
Speaker 2: Go vote, make sure your voice is part of what
Speaker 2: this will look what our government will look.
Speaker 11: Like going forward.
Speaker 3: All right, Mark Mix from the National Right to Work Committee,
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time as always, my friend,
Speaker 3: and with that will break. It's eight twenty five at
Speaker 3: fifty five KRC, the talk station. The Simply Money Minute
Speaker 3: is sponsored by Emory Federal Credit Union.
Speaker 1: This is this Simply Money Minute with Amy Wagner from all.
Speaker 3: Rations to Chuck Ingram just found under after this weekend.
Speaker 3: He's a grandfather for the third time, and this time
Speaker 3: it's a boy. Congrats Chuck, Gary Jeff, and for Brian Thomas.
Speaker 3: On this Monday, October seventh, and coming up on eight
Speaker 3: twenty nine, Our next guest is the deputy executive director
Speaker 3: of the Institute for Legislative Action. We'll find out what
Speaker 3: that is and why she's here right now. Jennifer Breeman,
Speaker 3: Good morning, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 16: Good morning, Gary Jeff, thanks for having me on this morning.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for agreeing to be on. It's great to
Speaker 3: have you. The Institute for Legislative Action is supporting one
Speaker 3: Berning Marino for the US Senate seat currently held by
Speaker 3: Shared Brown, and I'd like for you to explain why.
Speaker 16: Well, you know, o Himans have a long of respect
Speaker 16: in valuing our Second Amendment freedom that continues today, but
Speaker 16: Shared Brown is out of step with the citizens of
Speaker 16: Ohio when it comes to gun rights. He's been voting
Speaker 16: for extreme gun control measures for over three decades in Washington,
Speaker 16: and now we have a great opportunity while binding gun
Speaker 16: owners in Ohio have a great opportunity to fire shared
Speaker 16: Brown this election and ENTERI endorse Bernie Marino would be
Speaker 16: a champion of the Second Amendment and our right to
Speaker 16: self defense in the US Senate.
Speaker 3: Right what kind of things, as Sharon Brown suggested, in
Speaker 3: the way of gun control, that you find in definite
Speaker 3: conflict with the Second Amendment, which says for anybody that
Speaker 3: doesn't know, and many people who are anti gun rights
Speaker 3: in this country, politicians wise anyway, say that there are limits.
Speaker 3: I don't see any limits in the Constitution to the
Speaker 3: Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. It says the
Speaker 3: right to own and bear firearms shall not be infringed upon.
Speaker 3: And I think that anything that comes close to gun
Speaker 3: control is an infringement, is it not.
Speaker 16: I couldn't agree with you more. And you know in Washington,
Speaker 16: Senator Brown he is consistently voted with gun control extremists
Speaker 16: like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to ban lawfully own
Speaker 16: firearms magazines. He has voted to fund red flag confiscation
Speaker 16: laws and opposed right to carry reciprocity. And you know,
Speaker 16: when it comes to judges and confirming of judicial nominees,
Speaker 16: Senator Brown consistently backs the liberal judges that don't even
Speaker 16: value the Second Amendment as an individual right.
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of odd that the same people who
Speaker 3: are claiming that Donald Trump is a threat to the Constitution,
Speaker 3: the constitutionality of the United States, the threat to the
Speaker 3: oath he took to defend the Constitution, are seemingly wobbly
Speaker 3: need when it comes to both the First and Second Amendment.
Speaker 3: And that's the other thing that a lot of people
Speaker 3: don't particularly understand, Jennifer Breeman, is that the Second Amendment
Speaker 3: is the reason that we still have a first amendment
Speaker 3: in this country, the right to freedom of speech. But
Speaker 3: Tim Wall's, a current vice presidential candidate on the Democrat side,
Speaker 3: you know, says there's limits to freedom of speech in
Speaker 3: this country, freedom of thought, much less your right to
Speaker 3: own in bear firearms, even though he's a gun owner himself,
Speaker 3: you know, and cast as in every man. But back
Speaker 3: to the Ohio race, what has Bernie Marino said specifically
Speaker 3: that would differ and is it just as plain and
Speaker 3: simple as what we're talking about and the right to
Speaker 3: own in bear firearms as an American citizen, or is
Speaker 3: there even a greater difference or distance between them.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Bernie Marino has entery end has the full endorsement
Speaker 16: of the National Rifle Association. He has pledged his support
Speaker 16: to confirm progun judges to the court if elected to
Speaker 16: the US Senate. He has expressed his supportive right to
Speaker 16: carry and right to carry reciprocity legislation. He opposes government
Speaker 16: bands and confiscation. You know, when he takes an oath
Speaker 16: hopefully when elected to the US Senate, you'll pull the constitution.
Speaker 16: He will do just that when he gets there.
Speaker 2: He has our full backing.
Speaker 16: I know, I know, we'll probably get to this in
Speaker 16: a minute, but you know, our our pack is fully
Speaker 16: behind him and has expressed that through our huge ad buy.
Speaker 16: Last week we went up on the air in Ohio
Speaker 16: with commercials uh counting our our endorsement of him and
Speaker 16: backing his election to the US Senate.
Speaker 3: Well fantastic. I know that this is such a crucial
Speaker 3: election in so many ways, in so many races, and
Speaker 3: you guys are focusing on Ohio and getting Burning Marino
Speaker 3: elect to you do understand the uphill battle you're you're
Speaker 3: facing here And I don't say you're tilting at windmills
Speaker 3: at all, Jennifer, but you understand how hard it is
Speaker 3: to unseat a sitting senator. I pray that this time
Speaker 3: it's going to happen. But you know what the odds are, right,
Speaker 3: you know what you're up against and all the dark
Speaker 3: money you're up against that's supporting Shared Brown.
Speaker 1: Surely we do know.
Speaker 16: But you know this US Senate race and Ohio is
Speaker 16: shaping up to be one of the closest in the country.
Speaker 16: Our recent polling is showing that the race is tightening.
Speaker 16: We expected to continue to tighten. That's why we have
Speaker 16: put our full backing behind Bernie Marino and why we
Speaker 16: have released a seven figure ad buy that will run
Speaker 16: through election day, highlighting the dismal record of Shared Brown
Speaker 16: and with early in person voting starting tomorrow, as you know,
Speaker 16: we are encouraging tomorrow actual eight. We are encouraging every
Speaker 16: freedom loving Ohioan to get out and vote Bernie Marino
Speaker 16: for US Senate.
Speaker 3: How can people find out more about your organization.
Speaker 16: Jennifer Sure, so I encourage them to go to NRA
Speaker 16: PVF Political Victory Fund and r APVF dot org. There
Speaker 16: you can find out more about Shared Brown's, like I said,
Speaker 16: dismal record on the Second Amendment, and to learn more
Speaker 16: about Bernie Marino and his commitment to upholding your Second Amendment.
Speaker 3: Right. Thank you so much for your time this morning,
Speaker 3: and good luck to you.
Speaker 16: Thanks for having us.
Speaker 1: Take care you bet good one.
Speaker 3: Eight thirty five. I'm a Kentucky resident, but I'm I'm
Speaker 3: rooting full bore for that cause and that man, because
Speaker 3: what I'm hearing is exactly what you need to know.
Speaker 3: Eight thirty five at fifty five KRC the talk station. Men,
Speaker 3: if you're suffering for still three and a half four
Speaker 3: years seems like it. But early voting in Ohio begins
Speaker 3: tomorrow October eighth, as it does I know in Dearborn County, Indiana,
Speaker 3: because Michael emailed me and let me know that there's
Speaker 3: early voting going on there tomorrow as well. Today as
Speaker 3: the last day to get registered to vote in the
Speaker 3: state of Ohio. So if you're not registered to vote,
Speaker 3: what the heck are you waiting on? I don't know
Speaker 3: if you saw any of the Sunday morning programs, I'll
Speaker 3: confess I did not. But on MSNBC yesterday, Andrea Mitchell,
Speaker 3: who's been a commie as long as as she's been
Speaker 3: on TV, said yesterday that Kamala Harris is struggling to
Speaker 3: resonate with white and black male voters. No kidding, I
Speaker 3: think she's failing to resonate with almost anyone but your
Speaker 3: lefty suburban housewives clutching their pearls and praying that Donald
Speaker 3: Trump doesn't get near the White House. But she said
Speaker 3: yesterday on the Press that Harris needs to show up
Speaker 3: more in the media because she's not being seen as
Speaker 3: a heavyweight end quote. There is nothing about Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: that suggests that she is a quote heavyweight, end quote.
Speaker 3: She's been one of the most lightweight politicians. Now, how
Speaker 3: she's ascended to this level is up for discussion, and
Speaker 3: there are many people that suggest that heals up. Harris
Speaker 3: had a whole lot to do with Kamala's rise in
Speaker 3: political circles, starting with Willie Brown and San Francisco going
Speaker 3: up to now. I don't know about that because I
Speaker 3: wasn't there. But Mitchell went on she's got such a
Speaker 3: big problem with men. She proceeded to also blame misogyny
Speaker 3: as one of the reasons Harris wasn't being taken seriously
Speaker 3: among both Republican and Democrat men. But she needs to
Speaker 3: show up in the media more. Well, the more she
Speaker 3: actually shows up in the media, and I'm not talking
Speaker 3: about teleprompter's speeches and commercials. She needs to show up.
Speaker 3: The more she shows up answering questions that aren't preen
Speaker 3: pre screened, she's gonna look even more and more like
Speaker 3: the lightweight she is. I think there's misogynation in all
Speaker 3: of this. Black and white men, it's a big problem.
Speaker 3: But also the business world, they don't think she's serious. Well,
Speaker 3: she's cackling like a hyena after being asked serious questions.
Speaker 3: She has a history of that. Why would you ever
Speaker 3: think she was serious about anything. She's not a serious person.
Speaker 3: We all know this. People aren't planning on voting for
Speaker 3: They're planning on voting against Donald Trump. They don't think
Speaker 3: she's a heavyweight. A lot of this is gender has
Speaker 3: nothing to do with her sex, absolutely zero to do
Speaker 3: with Kamala Harris's sex. While black and white men, according
Speaker 3: to Andrea Mitchell are rejecting her since becoming the Democrat
Speaker 3: nominee seventy something days ago. You have to hold a
Speaker 3: single official press conference, and she stepped up interviews. This week,
Speaker 3: she'll make appearances on the View. I don't think that's
Speaker 3: gonna move the needle in getting respect from black and
Speaker 3: white men. The Howard Stern Show and that's another and
Speaker 3: the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. These are not the
Speaker 3: venues that are gonna get her more respect or support
Speaker 3: from men. Howard Stern, what a nightmare he's become. Huh,
Speaker 3: the guy who used to be all about taking down
Speaker 3: the man has earned so much money and becomes such
Speaker 3: a leftist elite that he is the man, and he's
Speaker 3: preaching to us about Donald Trump and this election. Uh God,
Speaker 3: the same thing with Bruce Springsteen. Did you see that endorsement.
Speaker 3: It's like he's at some diner somewhere. He looks like
Speaker 3: he just rolled off a homeless assembly line, and he's
Speaker 3: talking Donald talking Donald Trump as a threat to democracy
Speaker 3: in our country. And you know, you can, like, you
Speaker 3: can like the Boss's music, but I don't think anybody
Speaker 3: is going to be taken a cue from Bruce Springsteen
Speaker 3: as to who to vote for, or Taylor Swift for
Speaker 3: that matter. But Andrea Mitchell says that people don't look
Speaker 3: at Kamala Harris as a heavyweight because she's not the
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania came under fire over the weekend, and they put
Speaker 3: the fire out, thank goodness, because they they scheduled their
Speaker 3: voter registration site to go dark on Saturday when Donald
Speaker 3: Trump went back to Butler. Conservatives were blasting Pennsylvania's Department
Speaker 3: of State earlier this month for scheduling a system maintenance
Speaker 3: update to its voter registration website the very same day
Speaker 3: that President Trump was coming back to Butler, where he
Speaker 3: survived the assassination attempt in July. It would have taken
Speaker 3: the site offline for several hours, during the same timeframe
Speaker 3: that the Trump campaign expected to register voters. The department
Speaker 3: did move the window of time for maintenance to later
Speaker 3: in the night because of the outcry. The official quote
Speaker 3: is the PA State Department voter registration website will be
Speaker 3: unavailable on Saturday, October fifth, the day that President Trump
Speaker 3: will be triumphantly returning to the site of the assassination
Speaker 3: attempt in Butler County, with all eyes on Pa. The
Speaker 3: site will be down coincidence. This is according to a
Speaker 3: GOP activist, and they changed it because of this outcry
Speaker 3: in this uprising here. The website will undergo scheduled system
Speaker 3: maintenance and be unavailable Saturday, October fifth from six pm
Speaker 3: until twelve am. But they changed it then to I
Speaker 3: guess ten pm until four am Sunday in Pennsylvania, so
Speaker 3: the Trump campaign could then register voters for the early
Speaker 3: voting that is going on right now in Pennsylvania, as
Speaker 3: it will be going on in Ohio, as I mentioned
Speaker 3: at the top of this Tomorrow eight forty six and
Speaker 3: some change. Gary jeff In for Brian Thomas this morning
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRCV talk station put the wraps on
Speaker 3: this one on his Monday October seventh, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: This story out of North New Jersey a lawsuit, and
Speaker 3: this is the third one filed against the American Dream
Speaker 3: Mega Mall by a visitor saying she was struck and
Speaker 3: seriously injured by one of the waist high motorized stuffed
Speaker 3: animals that people can ride around parts of the mall.
Speaker 3: This lawsuit filed back in September the twenty third. A
Speaker 3: resident Milbourne resident Jaya Lee alleges she was walking through
Speaker 3: the mall while holding her baby when she was suddenly
Speaker 3: and violently struck from behind by a person operating a
Speaker 3: motorized version of an animal. She and her husband are
Speaker 3: seeking damages for medical costs and court costs. Again this
Speaker 3: is the third lawsuit. I never knew that you could
Speaker 3: go and ride stuffed animals in them all. I never
Speaker 3: think that that would be something I would want to do,
Speaker 3: and yet the American dream Megamol has the visitors have
Speaker 3: to be at least four feet high in height to
Speaker 3: use the ride ons by themselves. Only one writer is
Speaker 3: allowed at a time, but exceptions are made for small
Speaker 3: children who can ride with a parent or caretaker. The
Speaker 3: animals can hold up to two hundred They're not animals,
Speaker 3: they're dressed up as animals. Can hold up to two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty pounds. Standing on foot rest not permitted,
Speaker 3: and eating and drinking while on the ride is discouraged.
Speaker 3: According to the website at the American dream Megamol, our
Speaker 3: animals are easy to maneuver and move at walking speed.
Speaker 3: Bumping into persons or other animal writers is strictly not permitted.
Speaker 3: Well apparently was permitted in this particular occasion, according to
Speaker 3: this lawsuit. There was a lawsuit filed July nineteenth. In
Speaker 3: the March suit, a New York resident alleged she was
Speaker 3: struck by one of the motorized stuffed animals and suffered
Speaker 3: injuries to her spine that required surgery. If you're an adult,
Speaker 3: why would you be writing a stuffed animal at a mall? Anyway?
Speaker 3: There was a lawsuit that was filed this summer. A
Speaker 3: West New York resident alleges that he was hit in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two by one of the motorized animals as
Speaker 3: it was being ridden by an unsupervised child. Unsupervised children
Speaker 3: will be sold. I love those signs. But all three
Speaker 3: lawsuits alleged that the mall, its owners and dream writers
Speaker 3: operated the right ons in an area meant for pedestrians
Speaker 3: and mall patrons and say while they're listed as walking speed,
Speaker 3: they can travel faster than somebody can walk. This is
Speaker 3: according to one of the complainants who fied the lawsuit,
Speaker 3: and a law professor at Seaton Hall said the suits
Speaker 3: raise a question about whether this idea is just dangerously
Speaker 3: or dangerous inherently that the idea of having vehicles that
Speaker 3: can travel that fast in a crowded mole space and
Speaker 3: being ridden by children is just a dangerous situation. This
Speaker 3: is an East Rutherford, New Jersey where the Giants and
Speaker 3: the Jets play the American Dream. Mega Mall doesn't sound
Speaker 3: like a place I want to go. Do it, But
Speaker 3: I don't want to go to any more, and I
Speaker 3: am not the only one. That's why they're closing all
Speaker 3: over the country, including here in Cincinnati, and been turning
Speaker 3: into something else. One more time. The most important thing
Speaker 3: you can do, and if you're in Ohio, i'd put
Speaker 3: voting right up there, because the people you vote for
Speaker 3: will ultimately be making decisions on the public, public safety,
Speaker 3: and the public's well being because we give them the
Speaker 3: keys to that for us in this country. Whether that's
Speaker 3: a good idea or not, I'm not sure. It depends
Speaker 3: on who you vote for. But today is the last
Speaker 3: day to register to vote in Ohio. Tomorrow the voting begins.
Speaker 3: Go vote, make sure you're registered to vote, and the
Speaker 3: other thing. And this is how I started this morning.
Speaker 3: There's probably nothing more important right now, at this moment
Speaker 3: than taking time and finding some way to help the
Speaker 3: residents of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida who
Speaker 3: have been absolutely devastated, especially in the mountains in North
Speaker 3: Carolina and Appalachia, by the remnants of Hurricane Helene and
Speaker 3: the flooding and the muck. Have no water, no way
Speaker 3: to get anywhere. The hospitals don't have the ability to
