Speaker 1: Five O five fifty five K see the talk stations.
Speaker 2: A vacation.
Speaker 3: Well let a start to my day, crazy day. Look
Speaker 3: who's in there, Sean mcmhn covering for Joe Strucker, who
Speaker 3: I forgot was on vacation today. You ever read one
Speaker 3: of those days? Left my house this morning, got about
Speaker 3: two miles down the road and realized, Brian, you forgot
Speaker 3: to bring your cell phone. You need your cell phone
Speaker 3: to even get in the building these days, and I
Speaker 3: need my cell phone for two factor authentication so I
Speaker 3: can get my email. So I had to turn around,
Speaker 3: go back home get my phone. So that sent me
Speaker 3: back a few minutes to show up joke Strucker's cars
Speaker 3: not in the parking lot where it is, And that's
Speaker 3: when the heart attack begins to set in because again
Speaker 3: I forgot.
Speaker 2: Just just a vacation. Ah.
Speaker 3: He normally sends me the what we call the rundown,
Speaker 3: which I'll have to read off to here in a moment.
Speaker 3: Didn't send it to my home email account, which is unusual,
Speaker 3: but it was on my fifty five car Sea account,
Speaker 3: so I finally logged in and saw that it was there.
Speaker 3: So that gave me a sense of relaxation. I saw
Speaker 3: that Sean was already assigned to cover for him, because
Speaker 3: without a board operator, there would be no fifty five
Speaker 3: krs morning show. So God bless you Sean for showing
Speaker 3: up today and we can actually get a program going.
Speaker 3: And if you feel like calling in this morning, I
Speaker 3: certainly love the assistance. I've went three seven fifty five
Speaker 3: hundred eight hundred eighty two three talk had awake a
Speaker 3: couple of people up this morning, and I already had
Speaker 3: to apologize to them for expressing my concern and my panic. Anyway,
Speaker 3: there are just limitations my abilities, My abilities very limited.
Speaker 3: I'd be the first person to admit that anyhow, man
Speaker 3: of unlimited abilities and someone whose name my name came
Speaker 3: up yesterday during my conversation with Judge Enna Polatano. If
Speaker 3: you didn't get to hear fifty five ksy dot com
Speaker 3: Senator rand Paul seven oh five looking forward to talking
Speaker 3: to him about the border. We'll talk to him about
Speaker 3: the recently released COVID report damning it is and the
Speaker 3: Doge with vvak ramosomic Elon Musk seeking to cut back
Speaker 3: on the amount of government spending. As I see, our
Speaker 3: US budget deficit has climbed to another record. Great, that's
Speaker 3: joyful and wonderful. And the House also passed nearly a
Speaker 3: one trillion dollar defense spending bill, adding UH thirty six,
Speaker 3: adding to the US debt which is not thirty six
Speaker 3: trillion dollars and growing every single day. You want to
Speaker 3: talk about existential threats to the future of America, that
Speaker 3: you can start right there. Or drones, I want to
Speaker 3: get to that in just a second. I'm very extity.
Speaker 3: Your opinion is about these rwones fly around New Jersey
Speaker 3: moving away from the headier topics of the world, although
Speaker 3: it could be very concerning.
Speaker 2: I don't know. No one seems to know. Pause for
Speaker 2: a moment on that though.
Speaker 3: Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity Donovan and Neil back at
Speaker 3: seven thirty Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee opponent testimony
Speaker 3: for HB seventy nine. So we're gonna hear what AFP
Speaker 3: has to say about that with our good friend Donovan
Speaker 3: O'Neil again seven thirty. Stephanie Perucci with a book Sound
Speaker 3: the Alarm the Maui Disaster, and that book will be
Speaker 3: discussed at eight oh five, and then, of course it
Speaker 3: being Thursday, God bless I heard me the aviation expert
Speaker 3: Jay Ratliffe. I always enjoy talking to him. He's a
Speaker 3: funny guy and we have some good stuff to talk
Speaker 3: about with Jay Ratliffe again eight thirty for that. So
Speaker 3: I think if I have caresy dot Comedy, can't listen live.
Speaker 3: Great show yesterday. Thank you to Joe for lining up
Speaker 3: those guests, Judge Ennitapolitano, Congressman Thomas Massey, and of course
Speaker 3: the Big Picture with Jack Atherton plus Brigham account from
Speaker 3: the Hudson Institute on Energy Policy under Trump. So what's
Speaker 3: what is with the drones? I'm sure you've all heard
Speaker 3: reports about it flying around New Jersey all the time.
Speaker 3: They're giant. Some have been described as as big as
Speaker 3: an suv, which that's pretty damn big, which suggests probably
Speaker 3: not a hobbyist or an enthusiast flying it around out there.
Speaker 3: So what do our officials have to say? How comfortable
Speaker 3: do you feel that for the last over a month,
Speaker 3: these giant drones have been flying around and no one
Speaker 3: seems to have any answer as to what in the
Speaker 3: hell they are or where they come from. Some of
Speaker 3: the seemingly lesser saying folks suggesting it's an Iranian drones.
Speaker 3: I got I thought this was crazy. Representative Jeff Vanrew
Speaker 3: from New Jersey said yesterday that very qualified and reliable
Speaker 3: sources believe the drones that are flying all over to
Speaker 3: Jersey are originating from an Iranian mother shit parked off
Speaker 3: the US East coast. And don't you think that our
Speaker 3: American military might be able to see that. I mean,
Speaker 3: we knew when the giant Chinese balloon was flying over
Speaker 3: our country. We knew it was there. They just didn't
Speaker 3: do a damn thing about it until, of course it
Speaker 3: flew all the way across the United States, gathering up
Speaker 3: all the data that was gathering. Oh that he'd be
Speaker 3: shot down. Yeah, not a whole lot back on that one. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I will label him as slightly batcrap in saying, although
Speaker 3: he back pedaled on his assertion this is an Iranian mothership,
Speaker 3: he said, here's the real deal. I'm on the Transportation Committee,
Speaker 3: on the Aviation Subcommittee, and I've gotten to know people
Speaker 3: and from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you Iran launched a mothership probably about
Speaker 3: my mind ago that contains these drones. That mothership is
Speaker 3: off the east coast of the United States of America. Now,
Speaker 3: if you're the commander in chief of the United States
Speaker 3: Military and your job is to protect us from all
Speaker 3: threats foreign and domestic, and you know the Iranians have
Speaker 3: a drone or I had of a giant mother ship
Speaker 3: out there, and they're flying drones around American military.
Speaker 2: Basis, what would you do? I would shoot it down.
Speaker 3: I'd also shoot down some of the drones that are
Speaker 3: flying around New Jersey. I rebody can see them. You
Speaker 3: can't tell me there's not a piece of military hardware
Speaker 3: or equipment. I just think, like even a shoulder launch
Speaker 3: a missile that could shoot that thing down. Although that
Speaker 3: comes with some complications. We'll get to that in a
Speaker 3: second comical.
Speaker 2: But it did a.
Speaker 3: Back to Jeff Andrew. So you know, you know that
Speaker 3: Aron made a deal with China to purchase drones, motherships
Speaker 3: and technology in order to go forward. These drones should
Speaker 3: be shot down. Now that's a point I have of
Speaker 3: agreement with him. He said, whether it's some crazy hobbyist
Speaker 3: that we can't imagine, or whether it's iron I think
Speaker 3: it very possibly could be. They should be shot down.
Speaker 3: We're not going to we're not getting the full deal.
Speaker 3: In the military is on alert with this right.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The Pentagon spokesperson who was rolled out to address this
Speaker 3: seemingly absurd claim. Now maybe people might listen to audience
Speaker 3: actually think there's some validity to that.
Speaker 2: I'm willing to keep my this tiny little eenstenc.
Speaker 3: Bag of popcorn out in reserve to wait for all
Speaker 3: the information to come in on this. But the Pentagon
Speaker 3: spokesperson said, there is no Iranian ship off the coast
Speaker 3: of the United States. There is no so called mothership
Speaker 3: launching drones toward the United States. Fine, so the FBI,
Speaker 3: for its part, it doesn't have any information. FBI said
Speaker 3: yesterday it has no answers regarding these drone sightings.
Speaker 2: None. They say they've been investigating.
Speaker 3: The reports about the drones many flying around and eye
Speaker 3: which I read this morning. It's illegal to fly a
Speaker 3: drone in New Jersey at night, so they're already breaking
Speaker 3: the law. We need more laws anyway. So the FBI
Speaker 3: has asked the public for help and identifying any information,
Speaker 3: send us videos, let us know when you see them.
Speaker 3: And again I meant going back to the representative Andrew
Speaker 3: after or during an interview when cameras weren't where cameras
Speaker 3: weren't a loted He said his remarks were well, maybe
Speaker 3: taken out of context. He said they might be Iranian,
Speaker 3: might be, and he did acknowledge he neither possesses nor
Speaker 3: has seen any concrete evidence that the drones are Iranian.
Speaker 2: Stay please.
Speaker 3: Homeland Security officials discussed these sightings the other day yesterday
Speaker 3: as well, raised growing concern among residents and officials because
Speaker 3: they're flying near, among other concerning spots, the Picatinny Arsenal,
Speaker 3: the US military research and manufacturing facility. That's concern not
Speaker 3: overly concerned about them flying around President of like Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's golf course in Bedminster, as long as Donald Trump
Speaker 3: is not there while the drones are flying around Associated
Speaker 3: press is where I got the information about the legality
Speaker 3: of this, he said.
Speaker 2: Drones.
Speaker 3: They reported the drones are legal in New Jersey for
Speaker 3: recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local
Speaker 3: Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions, and operators must
Speaker 3: be FAA certified.
Speaker 2: But who knows.
Speaker 3: And much like gun laws, just because it requires an
Speaker 3: FAA certification, you can still go out and buy one,
Speaker 3: and you can violate the law, But how is it?
Speaker 3: The Governor Phil Murphy, as well as other law enforcement
Speaker 3: officials have been able to stress and continue to stress,
Speaker 3: that the drones don't appear to threaten the public safe.
Speaker 3: No one knows where they have come from, no one
Speaker 3: knows the origin of them, no one knows anything about them.
Speaker 3: No one shot one down to check it out. How
Speaker 3: do they know that it isn't a threat to public safety?
Speaker 2: Hmm? And there was another really comical point. I'm searching
Speaker 2: for it. Oh, I know.
Speaker 3: Headline can you shoot down the mysterious drones spotted over
Speaker 3: state Nile? The answer apparently no. Shooting down an airborne
Speaker 3: drone is considered a federal crime, also pointed out Gillian
Speaker 3: Delaney reporting on this one. I can't remember the news
Speaker 3: outlet site. It's no big deal, but they say not
Speaker 3: to mention the enormous size of these drones can lead
Speaker 3: to serious injury or accidents. Warren County Community College president
Speaker 3: and Warren USA Unmanned Drone Program creator Will Austin. I
Speaker 3: guess some sort of alleged authority on this said it's
Speaker 3: even if it's over your own property, you can't legally
Speaker 3: shoot it down. You can't interfere of it. You cannot
Speaker 3: take it out of the sky. Fine, I assume that's
Speaker 3: the law. That's okay. But here's the comical part in
Speaker 3: this article not to mention the fact that many drones
Speaker 3: contain lithium in some capacity, like a lithium polymer battery.
Speaker 3: Out of the words of mister Austin, which can explode
Speaker 3: or ignite if hit by a bullet. Those fires are
Speaker 3: hard to put out, Austin said, and you could end
Speaker 3: up actually burning your house down. Now you know immediately
Speaker 3: where I'm gonna pivot on that when you mean like
Speaker 3: an electric vehicle which do contain lithium ion batteries and
Speaker 3: can't burn your house down and do take a tremendous
Speaker 3: amount of water to put out. Even made that comment
Speaker 3: as well. So I don't take any comfort in the
Speaker 3: fact that nobody in any high capacity military, CIA, FBI,
Speaker 3: local law enforcement, New York City, New Jersey police, local
Speaker 3: sheriff's office, no one has any idea about these. So
Speaker 3: here's an idea. Let's shoot one down and find out.
Speaker 3: How about that.
Speaker 2: We live in a world that we live in right now?
Speaker 3: Uh five one three seven fifty five hundred eight hundred
Speaker 3: and eight two three talk go with pound five fifty
Speaker 3: on eighteen and T phones and don't go away.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back after these brief words five twenty one.
Speaker 2: If it's about kercity talk station by time a share?
Speaker 2: If we shared? Abody out.
Speaker 3: Very happy Friday Eve, looking forward to Senator Rampaul joining
Speaker 3: the program at seven o five. Love talking to Senator Rampaul.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Very smart man he is. And you know, I don't
Speaker 3: know what to make O Rfk Junior. I've been kind
Speaker 3: of happy about the idea this quirky guy is going
Speaker 3: to at least bring the America's attention to health and food.
Speaker 3: This why and I told other people and I've mentioned
Speaker 3: on the program before, in an effort to maybe try
Speaker 3: to control my cancer as well as lose the weight
Speaker 3: that many people in my family suggest that I needed
Speaker 3: to lose one of that Keto diet.
Speaker 2: Down fifteen pounds.
Speaker 3: Happy to report not adhering to it as religiously as
Speaker 3: I did during the first month because it took a
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving break, But just doing that raises my raised my
Speaker 3: awareness of the amount of sugar that's out there in
Speaker 3: the world, and Lord Almighty, it is literally everywhere, the
Speaker 3: processed food and the sugar that is literally in everything.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, walk around Kroger or your grocery store and
Speaker 3: just look at the labels on everything.
Speaker 2: You're going to find.
Speaker 3: You're going to certain a number of grams of sugar.
Speaker 3: And I love seeing labels when it says no added sugar,
Speaker 3: which does not mean doesn't have sugar in it, like
Speaker 3: orange juice that's natural sugar.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: I guess there may be a distinction between the two,
Speaker 3: but they recommend, you know, if you're doing this kind
Speaker 3: of diet, stay the hell away from that. You know,
Speaker 3: juice like that as well, because the high concentration is sugar.
Speaker 3: The point being with the cancer that cancer loves sugar
Speaker 3: and it consumes tons of calories.
Speaker 2: Which is why the cells grow.
Speaker 3: So I figure, why not give it a shot since
Speaker 3: I'm in between cancer treatments. We'll see what my doctor
Speaker 3: says in January when I did my follow up appointment.
Speaker 3: But I thought that was a rather interesting suggestion, and
Speaker 3: this is something that's come up before moving away from
Speaker 3: our FK Junior. Just simply again, the I like that
Speaker 3: you of bringing awareness of American health awareness. I'm not
Speaker 3: quite sure if I'm on board with his complete vaccine
Speaker 3: ban I did get quite a few vaccines growing up,
Speaker 3: and I'm glad I don't have polio, for example. But
Speaker 3: Arkansas re hopbl can go n to Sarah Huckaby, Sanders
Speaker 3: suggested that we should end the SNAP program at least
Speaker 3: in so far it allows people to buy junk food. Now,
Speaker 3: the devil may be in the details. What is junk food?
Speaker 3: How does one determine what is junk food and what
Speaker 3: is not? That you know, of course, naturally occurring fruits
Speaker 3: and vegetables, nuts and berries and things of that native
Speaker 3: nature obviously are not. But she said that unfortunately, the
Speaker 3: Nutrition Assistance Program is undermined health of millions of Americans
Speaker 3: on the taxpayers, done by encouraging families to eat highly processed,
Speaker 3: onhealthy junk food, which she does. It's one hundred and
Speaker 3: thirteen billion dollar federal program designed to support low income
Speaker 3: families with food assystems. So do not deny the need
Speaker 3: for that. But the idea that you can use federal
Speaker 3: tax dollars to go out and buy mountain dew candy,
Speaker 3: desserts and cakes, and according to us Huckeby Sanders, that
Speaker 3: that accounts for twenty three percent of the Snap purchases
Speaker 3: that kind of purchase, and her point was given the
Speaker 3: relationship between junk food and poor health. Our federal food
Speaker 3: assistance policies are fueling obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and
Speaker 3: in a wide range of chronic health conditions around America. Ergo,
Speaker 3: the SNAP program, designed to keep people alive and help
Speaker 3: people in time of need, ultimately is killing them. And
Speaker 3: there is a direct correlation between eating crabby food and
Speaker 3: your health diabetes most notably, and how many people have
Speaker 3: diabetes in this country now settling these health conditions disproportionately
Speaker 3: affect low income families, the same people who rely on
Speaker 3: Snap for food.
Speaker 2: She decided.
Speaker 3: A study by the Stanford University professor who's been nominated
Speaker 3: by President electromp that head the National Institutes of Health Bataciara.
Speaker 3: That study concluded that removing sugary drinks and snacks from
Speaker 3: the Snack program would prevent obesity in one hundred and
Speaker 3: forty one thousand children and type two diabetes in two
Speaker 3: hundred and forty thousand adults. Huh, well, that sounds like
Speaker 3: a good idea. You got scientific studies, the uh, we
Speaker 3: should rely on science. If the scientists and the doctors
Speaker 3: and the researchers out there all concluded, and I think
Speaker 3: uniformly they have, that these terrible foods, these foods loaded
Speaker 3: up with massive quantities of sugar, cause and facilitate people
Speaker 3: getting diabetes, which is extremely expensive to the country to
Speaker 3: deal with, which can lead to death, amputation of limbs,
Speaker 3: all those terrible conditions go along with diabetes. You can
Speaker 3: if you can do something substantial to eradicate that. Isn't
Speaker 3: that a good idea? And someone provide me with an
Speaker 3: argument about why it's not a good idea five twenty
Speaker 3: six fifty five krs DE talk station to do us
Speaker 3: some local stories coming up. Can go through those or
Speaker 3: take your phone calls, which I prefer five or three
Speaker 3: seven four nine two three talk ton five fifty on
Speaker 3: eight and T phones.
Speaker 2: It will be right back fifty five KRCT five thirty
Speaker 2: two Friday e.
Speaker 3: Over the local stories here they have more information about
Speaker 3: the folks that well burned down the Big mac Bridge
Speaker 3: quite the record, most notably for one of them. Thank
Speaker 3: you to Vellerie Lyons reporting on this one CPO assault
Speaker 3: def drug possession. Some of the past allegations against the
Speaker 3: four people named by authorities who intentionally started a fire
Speaker 3: that burned down the Dan Beard Bridge. James Hamilton, Terry Styles,
Speaker 3: Zachary Stump, and Caitlin Hall all arrested in connection with
Speaker 3: the fire happened November first at the one thousand Hands Playground.
Speaker 2: Court record show.
Speaker 3: The three men and women have all faced the judge
Speaker 3: for unrelated misdemeanor and phony cases before yesterday's arrangement. Local
Speaker 3: news liboit the CPO gets credit for this when they
Speaker 3: looked into the criminal history of each suspect. Terry Styles,
Speaker 3: thirty nine, being held in the Hamilton Canty Justice Center
Speaker 3: on a million dollar bond, been charged with one kind
Speaker 3: of aggravated arson. According to documents, he intentionally set the fire,
Speaker 3: creating a substantial risk of serious physical arm to all
Speaker 3: of the motorists above, including the driver of a freight
Speaker 3: liner flatbed toe truck. They keep identifying that. I'm a
Speaker 3: little sketchy on the details of why that one truck
Speaker 3: keeps getting identified. Anyway, he wasn't at the arrangement yesterday.
Speaker 3: Why well, the Hamilton County Sheriff are recommended he not
Speaker 3: showed the arrangement because he's a bit unruly, so the
Speaker 3: CBO asked and got the jail video that was recorded
Speaker 3: before the scheduled court appearance, showing deputies having to restrain
Speaker 3: this guy in a chair and placing him in a
Speaker 3: spit mask before wheeling him out of the jail. Pod
Speaker 3: Fire specialist Steven Metz said, speaking with CPO, we spoke
Speaker 3: with a lot of people that are in that orbit
Speaker 3: of Terry Styles, including his family, and a lot of
Speaker 3: people have said the same thing that Terry Styles had
Speaker 3: made it clear to them that he would never go
Speaker 3: back to jail. He would rather die, apparently at the
Speaker 3: first time he's been accused of unruly or violent behavior.
Speaker 3: Before setting his bond, Hamilton County Judge Heather Russell listen
Speaker 3: to this spent four uninterrupted minutes reading off styles criminal record,
Speaker 3: which goes back to when he was a juvenile and
Speaker 3: an out of state parole transfer in Texas. She listed
Speaker 3: off child's charges found in Butler, Warren and Campbell Counties
Speaker 3: between twenty twenty one and twenty three.
Speaker 2: Most ignored.
Speaker 3: They included obstructing official business, illegal possession of a firearm
Speaker 3: in Middletown and OVII in Lebanon, and trespassing in Newport.
Speaker 3: According to Judge Russell, he has one violent felony, one felony,
Speaker 3: one violent misdemeanor, four misdemeanors, nine minor misdemeanors, three failures
Speaker 3: to appear in a partridge into Paratree. Court apparently dismissed
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty arrests of resisting arrest charge as well
Speaker 3: as a charge for assault and faire to contain his
Speaker 3: pit bull in twenty eighteen. He was convicted of aggravated
Speaker 3: menacing and drug trafficking in twenty seventeen, and an assault
Speaker 3: charge from twenty sixteen was dismissed by a judge. He
Speaker 3: was convicted of felonious assault back in two thousand and
Speaker 3: five served the maximum sentenced eight years. Styles have pled
Speaker 3: guilty to the charge, admitting assaulting Carl Legga junior when
Speaker 3: the Carl Leggo Junior was five months old. Great unbelievable.
Speaker 3: I could go on, but the local story segment is
Speaker 3: over fire. At least they got the folks and oddly
Speaker 3: enough here's a corollary headlines again CPO. Since they officials
Speaker 3: can't say what started the fire of the damage to
Speaker 3: the car of the Big Mac Bridge. Since a Fire
Speaker 3: Department Chief Frank McKinley said, because the investigation is ongoing,
Speaker 3: he can't release too many details about what caused the fire,
Speaker 3: how it started, or any reasoning as to why it
Speaker 3: was set. For his part, have to have provol Thankfully,
Speaker 3: we have a woke prosecutor on this said, these arrests
Speaker 3: are just the beginning emphasizing, and now the justice system
Speaker 3: and prosecutors have to do their jobs to hold the
Speaker 3: fore accountable. I cannot overstate the severity of this crime.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: All right, let's hope he feels the same way about
Speaker 3: murderers and other people who commit crimes against humanity.
Speaker 2: Here in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: We don't have woke judges and prosecutors letting them out
Speaker 3: on the streets right now. Five point thirty six if
Speaker 3: if you have Kerstee Talks, it's.
Speaker 2: Five forty two.
Speaker 3: If you have Kerstee Talks Nation, Happy Friday eve A
Speaker 3: conspiracy theorist or pattern observer friends out there are going
Speaker 3: to enjoy hearing from author Stephanie Perucci with the book
Speaker 3: Sound the Alarm, the Malley disaster that sparked a global awakening,
Speaker 3: suggesting that the Lahena fire was the intentional and designed
Speaker 3: to take property away from people. Just a little skim
Speaker 3: of the surface of the content of the book. Anyway,
Speaker 3: We'll get to that.
Speaker 2: At eight o five.
Speaker 3: At the meantime, Pete, Pete, thanks for calling the Morning show.
Speaker 3: Happy Friday, Eve, Sam.
Speaker 5: You Brime, thanks. Hey.
Speaker 6: Back on this drone issue, there's one report where a
Speaker 6: Coastguard cutter with credible you know, officers and reporting that
Speaker 6: there was between twelve and thirty of them following their boats.
Speaker 2: Yes, I read that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't get to that this morning when I
Speaker 3: was on my tear on the drones, but I did
Speaker 3: also see that account or that report.
Speaker 2: So yeah, But if you.
Speaker 6: Think about it, you know, you can program a drone
Speaker 6: to go here and there, but to have a minimum
Speaker 6: of twelve following either each one has to be controlled
Speaker 6: by an individual. It'd be hard to program all of
Speaker 6: them to stay within a certain distance of each other.
Speaker 3: And then, oh, I don't know, Pete. I'm no drone operator.
Speaker 3: I don't own one, and I don't purport to be one.
Speaker 3: But I have seen some unbelievable drone coordination displays involving
Speaker 3: literally hundreds of them that fly within inches of each other.
Speaker 3: So I think yes, you could indeed part program twelve
Speaker 3: or ten or one hundred if you wanted, and you
Speaker 3: would wouldn't have to operate them individually, could operate them
Speaker 3: remotely all at once, just saying, man, I mean some
Speaker 3: of these listen you like halftime events or you know
Speaker 3: firework events where they now have drones flying around with
Speaker 3: colors on them, and they, oh, my god, what they
Speaker 3: can accomplish with those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
Speaker 6: They have a set place that they're going to go
Speaker 6: with the boat moving, it's a moving.
Speaker 3: Well wait a minute. Theoretically, here's me just offering a theory.
Speaker 3: If you have one drone operator, all the drones are
Speaker 3: connected and designed to fly within let's say a foot
Speaker 3: of each other or ten feet or whatever. If one
Speaker 3: person can control the one drone that is directing the
Speaker 3: traffic for the rest of them to follow, then it
Speaker 3: stands to reason that yes, you could have something follow
Speaker 3: independently manually that would control multiple drones at the same time.
Speaker 3: The technology is there, I think it seems like a
Speaker 3: simple concept given thee where the technology is these days.
Speaker 3: So that's just my theory. I again, I don't own drones.
Speaker 3: I don't purport to be a drone operator. They don't
Speaker 3: port to be able to un nderstand the technology behind it,
Speaker 3: but I certainly believe that is easily within the realm
Speaker 3: of capability. Is based upon what I seen with my
Speaker 3: own eyes. By forty five you can chime in feel free,
Speaker 3: maybe I'm wrong five one, three, seven nine fifty five
Speaker 3: hundred eight hundred eight two three talk found five fifty
Speaker 3: on AT and T Funds.
Speaker 2: By fifty fifty five KERCD talk station Brian Thomas.
Speaker 3: Right here Sean McMahon covering for the vacationing joe'stracker and
Speaker 3: again apology severity. I was calling this morning about Joe
Speaker 3: not being here for good. I can't remember everything, but
Speaker 3: I can go to the phones because Bobby's on the line. Bobby,
Speaker 3: Welcome to the morning show. Good to hear from you.
Speaker 4: Happy Thursday, my brother. They like family and firearms. When
Speaker 4: you have those, you're always half freedom.
Speaker 2: Yep. I know what I'm getting for Christmas too.
Speaker 7: Ah, there there you go, Cake, get any better than that?
Speaker 2: So on your mind today, my friend.
Speaker 4: Well, I got a couple of points. Everybody keeps going
Speaker 4: on about, and it's real simple. Anything you can imagine,
Speaker 4: they can do period.
Speaker 3: Well, we know from their use in warfare that what
Speaker 3: you say is pretty it's broad brush, but yeah, pretty
Speaker 3: much kill people, blow people up, blow up buildings, obviously,
Speaker 3: spy on people. I mean, you can go down the
Speaker 3: whole list. Body I've gotten.
Speaker 4: The next thing is, uh, you know, we got a
Speaker 4: senator we got to bring in here for the state
Speaker 4: of Ohio to you know, to replace JD. But get
Speaker 4: away from the old Republican Party. And I could pretty
Speaker 4: well make a guess of who they want to put
Speaker 4: in there, Jane Tempkin. But what about uh, what about
Speaker 4: our old boy or Orlando Simson. Wouldn't he be a
Speaker 4: nicer there for two hours and two years? Put him
Speaker 4: in there for two years, they didn't get his feet wet.
Speaker 4: Let him let everybody know exactly how strong he could be,
Speaker 4: and he'd be a perfect candidate for the election coming
Speaker 4: up in two years. Stake.
Speaker 3: I love that idea, Bobby, love that idea. I think
Speaker 3: the world of Orlando Sons. I think he's a brilliant guy.
Speaker 3: He's just a man of character and decency, a family man.
Speaker 3: He's right on all the issues. I was so disappointed
Speaker 3: that he was beating that election, so Bobby, I'll back
Speaker 3: you one hundred percent. If they want to put Orlando
Speaker 3: the Sons in that position, I will be as happy
Speaker 3: as possible. And I think he will bring about great
Speaker 3: results of this date.
Speaker 4: I think it's great, my brother. And if people look
Speaker 4: at the numbers and everything, he carried Warren County by
Speaker 4: sixty five percent. Yeah, and the only thing he had
Speaker 4: held against him was a city of Cincinnati, not just
Speaker 4: the whole county of you know, Hamilton, but the city
Speaker 4: of Cincinnati. You already go ahead, and he can go
Speaker 4: ahead and bring in all the elections. We got eighty
Speaker 4: eight counties in this in this state, and there's only
Speaker 4: eight of them at the one Democrat.
Speaker 7: That's it.
Speaker 4: He well eight, I guarantee he could pull the rest.
Speaker 3: Bobby, can't think you enough for the call this morning
Speaker 3: with that suggestion. And I don't know why it didn't
Speaker 3: under that outloud myself or think of it myself. But
Speaker 3: that's why I love hearing from my listeners again. Somebody
Speaker 3: tell me why that wouldn't be a great idea, Orlando Sonza.
Speaker 3: Orlando sent them a letter telling you're up for the job. Uh,
Speaker 3: Stacks Stack is stupid. Ah, we've got to Florida, where
Speaker 3: a lot of stupid stories come from. When I love
Speaker 3: the Breverd County Sheriff's Office. They're working to identify the
Speaker 3: owner of approximately twenty five kilograms of cocaine discovered along
Speaker 3: the coastline, sealed in watertight packaging marked with scorpion logos
Speaker 3: that was covered by a local fisherman who reported to find.
Speaker 3: A law enforcement social media post by the Sheriff's office
Speaker 3: said it was valued at one point seven million dollars.
Speaker 3: In their post titled Brevard County Sheriff's Office is attempting
Speaker 3: to return lost items, showed photos of the drugs multiple
Speaker 3: pictures or pictures of the multiple drug packages, said well,
Speaker 3: since since at the Breverd County Sheriff's Office, we always
Speaker 3: strive to do the right thing. Are narcotics agents are
Speaker 3: trying to identify the rightful owners of the twenty five
Speaker 3: kilos of cocaine? They think the drugs fell off of
Speaker 3: a boat while maybe its owner was traveled along the coastline.
Speaker 3: Sheriff's office asked me when anybody with information about it
Speaker 3: or it's rightful owned, of course, contacting Narcotics division and
Speaker 3: the post continues so if the twenty five kilos of
Speaker 3: coax belong to you, all we need you to do
Speaker 3: is come down to our Criminal Investigation Service building on
Speaker 3: gus Hip Boulevard in Rockridge and claim your property with
Speaker 3: absolutely no strings attached, right and without actually running the song.
Speaker 3: Given the limitations of the time, we go to Manateee County,
Speaker 3: Florida for this one, where the Bradenton Police have arrested
Speaker 3: a sixteen year old boy after they say he shot
Speaker 3: a floor air gun onto a field of soccer players
Speaker 3: while the game was being played. Courting police teen shot
Speaker 3: the gun onto the field full of players during a
Speaker 3: match of the brandon In Private School November twenty first.
Speaker 3: Officials did not name the school, but according to the
Speaker 3: detective as a sixteen year old who does not attend
Speaker 3: the private school was asked to leave the soccer match
Speaker 3: because of disruptive behavior. So the team and his friends
Speaker 3: left the school property and returned to the vehicle they'd
Speaker 3: showed up at the game at parked at a nearby restaurant,
Speaker 3: when they say officers said, the team then fired the
Speaker 3: flare gun from the passenger seat of the car towards
Speaker 3: the school's soccer field. Witnesses said the flare narrowly missed
Speaker 3: players but burned two holes in the artificial turf. Officials
Speaker 3: said the flare caused more than one thousand dollars in damage.
Speaker 3: Being questioned about the incident, the team admitted to doing it,
Speaker 3: expressed remorse, and agreed to turn himself off into the police.
Speaker 3: He was arrested his summer ninth charge of criminal mischief
Speaker 3: damage more than a grand a third degree felony, and
Speaker 3: culpable negligence with exposure to harm, which is described as
Speaker 3: a second degree misdemeanor. Name not released by authorities, of course,
Speaker 3: being a teenager taken to the Manitee Juvenile Detention Center
Speaker 3: and will be without running. This song our Biggest Dute
Speaker 3: of the Universe award winner for the Morning Shai. I
Speaker 3: have five fifty six fifty five care City talk station
Speaker 3: plenty to talk about the six o'clock hour, and you
Speaker 3: can certainly feel free to call in. I'd love to
Speaker 3: hear from you if you got something to say. I'll
Speaker 3: be back after the news coming up on six o
Speaker 3: six at fifty five KRC the talk stations right. Thomas
Speaker 3: glad to be here, wishing him pretty a happy Thursday's
Speaker 3: last Friday Eve and looking forward to the guest lined
Speaker 3: up today, Joe Streker. Line him up, We'll give him
Speaker 3: credit for it. He's on vacation today, it's tomorrow and
Speaker 3: on Monday. Sean McMahon covering for him today. You want
Speaker 3: to call feel free Seanna, pick up the phones, put
Speaker 3: you online in a queue five on three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 3: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
Speaker 3: talk or go with Town five fifty on eighteen and
Speaker 3: t phones coming up in one hour. Always love When
Speaker 3: Senator rand Paul joins a fifty five Cascen morning show,
Speaker 3: he is one hour from now, will join. We'll be
Speaker 3: talking about the border, the damning I referred to it
Speaker 3: as damning COVID report, as well as Doge, the vv
Speaker 3: A grama Swimmy elon Musk project to cut the massive
Speaker 3: amount of waste and fraud and abuse in the government.
Speaker 3: As I stare at the fact that our budget deficit
Speaker 3: has now jumped climbing seventeen percent, I think that's a record,
Speaker 3: and of course our national debt continues to go through
Speaker 3: the roof. And a true as I mentioned last hour
Speaker 3: and have said before, a true if not one of
Speaker 3: the most important existential threats to our country's very existence.
Speaker 3: It's too much spending. Donovan Neo Americans were prospered. He'll
Speaker 3: join us at seven thirty talk about the AFP's position
Speaker 3: and opponents to HB seventy nine States Senate Energy and
Speaker 3: Public Utilities Committee. So Donald Neil always interesting. That'll be
Speaker 3: at seven thirty. Something that's really interesting, particularly to my
Speaker 3: pattern observers formerly known as conspiracy theories, Sound the Alarm,
Speaker 3: the Maui disaster that sparked a global awakening. Stephanie Berucci,
Speaker 3: author of that who authored along with Shane Duell and
Speaker 3: Tracy Derwin. Stepanie's going to join the program. It's about
Speaker 3: the Lahena fires and what caused them and maybe intentional
Speaker 3: and maybe designed to take away land from people. Burn
Speaker 3: back better. This is the original book and this is
Speaker 3: a sequel to that, says. The book methodically walks the
Speaker 3: reader from the scene of the crime towards the thirty
Speaker 3: thousand foot view of why this fire was allowed to happen,
Speaker 3: where other copycat fires have happened, and what communities are next.
Speaker 2: Scary stuff. Most of me.
Speaker 3: Wants to believe it. None of it's true, but we'll
Speaker 3: get to talked to the author about the facts in
Speaker 3: that book. Multiple chapters of the book and it's broken
Speaker 3: down into three different parts, should be a fascinating conversation.
Speaker 3: That conversation taking place at eight oh five, and of
Speaker 3: course it being Thursday, I heard media aviation expert Jay
Speaker 3: Ratler with the host of topics and some yucks, which
Speaker 3: I thoroughly enjoy. As we move on into a Friday
Speaker 3: five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty two to three, talk Tom five fifty
Speaker 3: on AT and T phone. Before I get to some
Speaker 3: other topics, I've got Steve on the phone with the
Speaker 3: comment Steve, thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, how are you doing today?
Speaker 3: I'm doing pretty well all things consider. My day didn't
Speaker 3: start off great, but I'm doing all right and that's
Speaker 3: all that matters.
Speaker 8: Well, it's always it's always fun to be driving to
Speaker 8: work and remember that you have forgotten something and have
Speaker 8: to go back. Well, that is a great way to
Speaker 8: start the.
Speaker 2: Day, I know. And it's the cell phone, you know.
Speaker 3: And I was like, normally, you know, if if it
Speaker 3: wasn't twenty twenty four, I would have said the hell
Speaker 3: of it, I don't need my cell phone for the
Speaker 3: next four hours. But I needed to get into the building.
Speaker 3: I needed to get into my computer because I got
Speaker 3: two factor authentication. I needed to get into my email
Speaker 3: for the same reason Facebook. I can't do anything with that.
Speaker 3: It's to turn around. And then I forgot Joe Strecker's
Speaker 3: on vacation.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 3: I show up and I don't see his car. I'll
Speaker 3: come into the studio, which normally has the stack of
Speaker 3: stupid and some loll the stories printed out. Nothing there,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, holy crab. So I lose my mind
Speaker 3: and start calling a bunch of people responsible and bothered
Speaker 3: them for no reason, only to find that Joe had
Speaker 3: in fact given me all the information I needed on
Speaker 3: my email, which I hadn't opened up yet. So yeah,
Speaker 3: a little disturbing morning for me psychologically, but again I'm
Speaker 3: feeling pretty good beyond see.
Speaker 8: I appreciate what Sean is doing, and I told them that.
Speaker 8: But when you said you can't do anything without your
Speaker 8: cell phone, I was waiting for the phrasing button, but
Speaker 8: you know's not there. That would have that would have
Speaker 8: put you to knocked you down a notch or two
Speaker 8: good point a couple of comments. Uh, just yesterday and
Speaker 8: I've said this one hundred times. I'll say it one
Speaker 8: hundred and one times. You had the guest on and
Speaker 8: the climate change was talked about, and of course he's
Speaker 8: talking about man made climate change, which is an unproven theory, right,
Speaker 8: And the Republicans are too in articulate to every time
Speaker 8: they're asked about climate change to preface that with are
Speaker 8: you asking me about climate change? Or are you asking
Speaker 8: me about man made climate change and unproven theory? Of
Speaker 8: course our side can't, can't you know, we can't do
Speaker 8: stuff like that that would require you know, something from
Speaker 8: our people.
Speaker 9: But two things.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 8: What I want to comment about really is a couple
Speaker 8: of your recurring guests, one of them being Christopher Smitherman.
Speaker 8: I really enjoy when he's on, and I don't want
Speaker 8: you to go anywhere, but eventually you're going to retire.
Speaker 8: But Man's he would be good on the radio. I
Speaker 8: know he's got a career, a different job. And I'll
Speaker 8: tell you what puts me a smile on my face
Speaker 8: so much when he's talking to you is he'll be like, well,
Speaker 8: let me tell you this, Brian Thomas I liked. I mean,
Speaker 8: he knows you well. I like that he uses your
Speaker 8: last name all It just is funny to me.
Speaker 7: It just cracks me up to it.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I haven't said it out loud
Speaker 3: because when he does that, I don't want to knock
Speaker 3: him off, as you know, his the role that he's on.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I always want to interject. I pay Christ
Speaker 3: for five dollars for every time he says Monday.
Speaker 8: Well, well, and you know, everybody is going to have
Speaker 8: their own little unique way of stand and that somehow
Speaker 8: and it works perfectly for him. And but that one,
Speaker 8: that one always puts a smile on my face in
Speaker 8: addition to all the very intelligent things he's saying. One
Speaker 8: other guest I want to ask you about. I tried
Speaker 8: to call in on Friday. I messed up because you
Speaker 8: really had guests in the last couple of hours where
Speaker 8: you weren't taking calls. I was going to call in
Speaker 8: with a question for you to propose to your wine
Speaker 8: expert Keegan.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And how often is he on? Is it about twice
Speaker 8: a year?
Speaker 3: I'd say three holiday time we usually bring him on
Speaker 3: or you know, I don't know what the specific rhyme
Speaker 3: or reason, but usually you can count on him being
Speaker 3: around you either Thanksgiving or Christmas or Easter obviously time
Speaker 3: to coordinate with the typical family feest so we can
Speaker 3: get some wine recommendations or just have an excuse to
Speaker 3: talk about wine rather than politics for a little while.
Speaker 8: He really comes across as a really nice guy, yes
Speaker 8: you've known him for years, and really knowledgeable and kind
Speaker 8: of you know, I mean.
Speaker 2: He doesn't take it too seriously so much about wine.
Speaker 8: I feel like I don't even know what wine is
Speaker 8: when I'm listening to him, because you think you know
Speaker 8: a little bit about it and then you listen to him.
Speaker 8: But next time he's going to be on, I'll call
Speaker 8: you a little earlier in the show and see if
Speaker 8: you'd toss a question at.
Speaker 2: What's the question?
Speaker 8: It is something that I've seen with wine in the
Speaker 8: last ten years, where you're starting, you know, and I
Speaker 8: know he does the more high end stuff, screw on
Speaker 8: caps versus quirks versus synthetic quarks. And I'm going to say,
Speaker 8: back in the day, a screw on cap would have
Speaker 8: been like the cheapest wine in the world. I noticed
Speaker 8: a lot of white German Wines years ago started having
Speaker 8: the screw on cap. There's not the stigma attached to it,
Speaker 8: an I don't think there is. He may say, oh,
Speaker 8: that's unacceptable. I really don't know. But the synthetic cork,
Speaker 8: which I tend to find with Australian wines, to me,
Speaker 8: is the most disgusting thing in the world. I mean
Speaker 8: that I'd rather have a screw on cap than a
Speaker 8: synthetic I don't know if you've ever opened up the
Speaker 8: line and it's that synthetic cork and it's like some
Speaker 8: that's really weird looking stuff. I don't know what you know,
Speaker 8: that just kind of turns. That's like a man made
Speaker 8: type thing. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it seems to be like sometimes some sort
Speaker 3: of synthetic polymer of like a plastic or something. And
Speaker 3: I have asked that question. I cannot specifically recall what
Speaker 3: the answer was. The I seem to recall, and it
Speaker 3: may have been Kegan who said it that the genuine
Speaker 3: cork is still the preferred cork. Now it does and can,
Speaker 3: I guess deteriorate over time and some quirks are better
Speaker 3: than other. But what I'm doing right now as I'm
Speaker 3: I'm talking to you. I'm sending them a text message,
Speaker 3: so I'll ask him. I may get the answer this morning,
Speaker 3: So I do have.
Speaker 8: Fantastic that my wife and I were in Portugal, which
Speaker 8: is where I think most of the cork comes from.
Speaker 8: They said, for one thing, it doesn't harm the tree.
Speaker 8: It's like cutting fingernails on a dog or a person.
Speaker 8: It's it doesn't hurt anything. And they don't want to
Speaker 8: harm the tree because they're producing a product for them.
Speaker 8: There's nothing, you know. I don't know if what the
Speaker 8: deal was. Maybe it's just a cost cutting thing. Why
Speaker 8: they they've gotten away from it a little.
Speaker 3: Probably, I think that's a very labor intensive process, the
Speaker 3: natural quirk, so that'd be my guess. But I did
Speaker 3: just send in the text, and if he gets back there,
Speaker 3: be happy to let you know. I'm pass alone to
Speaker 3: the listeners, because I'm sure a lot of listeners may
Speaker 3: have had the same question floating around.
Speaker 2: Steve.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call, and I know and I will
Speaker 3: back all day long what you said about Christopher Smith,
Speaker 3: and I thoroughly enjoy having him on the show. Yes,
Speaker 3: he is a dear friend, but I appreciate his thoughtful
Speaker 3: insight as a black man and as an independent, politically
Speaker 3: minded individual who is a family man and a very
Speaker 3: traditional guy. I think he presents a point of view
Speaker 3: that is really desperately needed in this world. So that's
Speaker 3: why I have him on the show. And he has
Speaker 3: always welcome here to offer up his points of view.
Speaker 3: Six fifteen fifty five cares of the TALX station five.
Speaker 3: And you're right, you're willing to come on the program

Speaker 3: down on a Neil for Americans for prosperity. Let us
Speaker 3: go to the phones, Gary, New Hampshire. Gary's on the line.
Speaker 3: Hey Gary, welcome back to the show.
Speaker 2: My friend.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Brian Uh. I'd like to talk about the
Speaker 5: drones going over southern New York Ankers and well New
Speaker 5: Jersey and apparently afford to Fox News and the sheriff
Speaker 5: and the fire department and the FAA they're spot spotting
Speaker 5: up to one hundred and eighty six drones a day
Speaker 5: at times in those areas. You know that the the
Speaker 5: video footage is absolutely wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think it's more shocking and more infuriating than anything is.
Speaker 5: We know that it's not a foreign adversary sending the drones,
Speaker 5: and then you go, Okay, you're telling me it's not foreign,
Speaker 5: so it must be domestic or you must know, and well,
Speaker 5: you don't know that. I don't know anything. And what's
Speaker 5: even more infuriating about the whole thing is there's no
Speaker 5: policy to deal with this, this potential threat at all,
Speaker 5: and everybody's just ignoring it. Who anybody who's in a
Speaker 5: leadership position is totally ignoring it. Nothing getting the dodhing.
Speaker 3: Nothing, nothing from the FBI, nothing from the CIA. The
Speaker 3: Pentagon denies, although interesting, Gary, and I'm glad you brought
Speaker 3: this back up because I was ranting about this this morning.
Speaker 3: It's almost comical they can say with a straight face
Speaker 3: that they don't pose any threat. And if they can't
Speaker 3: identify where these things are coming from, how in the
Speaker 3: hell do they know they pose no threat? Pentagon denies
Speaker 3: for an entity behind drones, But if the Pentagon can
Speaker 3: deny that, then wouldn't they maybe perhaps acknowledge that they
Speaker 3: either know where they're coming from, or maybe it is
Speaker 3: in fact our own government, our own military or whatever
Speaker 3: trying out some new equipment. And I wouldn't have necessarily
Speaker 3: any problem with that. I mean, we all know that
Speaker 3: our military owns drones, and if they want to fly
Speaker 3: them around, fine, Although there may be some legal implications
Speaker 3: for American military operating on domestic soil. I don't know
Speaker 3: the ramifications, but everybody wants some answers, and right now
Speaker 3: it makes us all look like idiots.
Speaker 2: There's nothing.
Speaker 5: That's worse than the Three stooges. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 5: It's like, well, we know it's not a terrorist, but
Speaker 5: we just don't know anything. And you're like, you know,
Speaker 5: these are not the drones you're looking for?
Speaker 3: Right, well played, Gary. The only problem is that we
Speaker 3: can't be manipulated by Obi Wan kenoll be waving his
Speaker 3: hand in front of us getting us to agree, oh,
Speaker 3: these aren't the drones we're looking for. We're all going,
Speaker 3: where the hell did them things come from? Why are
Speaker 3: they flying around? Why doesn't someone shoot one down to
Speaker 3: identify it? That seems to be a logical conclusion, doesn't it, Gary.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, remind you of Pearl Harbor. You know,
Speaker 5: they weren't allowed to shoot down the Japanese when they
Speaker 5: were attacking, you know, And it's like, why wait, Fellas,
Speaker 5: you're the d D.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but apparently in New Jersey it is illegal to
Speaker 3: shoot down a drone. So maybe, maybe, maybe if the
Speaker 3: politicians were around in the days of Pearl Harbor, they
Speaker 3: might have The current politicians may have passed the law
Speaker 3: that says you cannot shoot down a foreign plane attacking
Speaker 3: the homeland.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's all crazy, Gary, I'll admit. And that's why I
Speaker 3: started the show out because they keep reading all these
Speaker 3: stories about it. In every single official that should know
Speaker 3: or should provide us some measure of assurance that this
Speaker 3: is not a problem are just throwing their hands up, going, oh,
Speaker 3: we don't know. Oh great, I can take some great
Speaker 3: comfort in that. Thanks, Buddie, Appreciate her from me. Five

Speaker 3: Middletown Fire Cruise responded reports to a fired and outlet
Speaker 3: mall yesterday evening. According to w Chief Steve Ludwig, cruise
Speaker 3: receiver reports of a possible structure fired the Gentle Family
Speaker 3: Dentistry on marine drive. Chief Ludwig said the crews were
Speaker 3: able to see flames burning through the roof of the
Speaker 3: building from more than a block away. Fire crews arrived
Speaker 3: on the scenes. All occupants fortunately had already evacuated the building.
Speaker 3: In spite of the wintery conditions, Cruise managed to subdue
Speaker 3: the fire before the weather made the situation difficult. Deputy
Speaker 3: g for Ludwig said that there were no injuries as
Speaker 3: a result of the fire. Damage caused by the fire
Speaker 3: extent and whether it harmed any nearby business is not
Speaker 3: yet clear at this time and the cause of the
Speaker 3: fire is of course under investigation. And speaking of fires,
Speaker 3: they got another guy responsible for the Big mac Bridge
Speaker 3: arson fire a court to assault, theft and drug possession.
Speaker 3: Some of the past allegations against the total of four
Speaker 3: people that have been named by authorities that are responsible
Speaker 3: allegedly for the fire that burned down the chuck of
Speaker 3: the dan Bearn Bridge, specifically James Hamilton, Terry Styles, Zachary Stump,
Speaker 3: and Caitlin Hall all arrested in connection with the November
Speaker 3: first fire at the one thousand Hands playground at Sawyer
Speaker 3: Point Park. Court records show the three men of the
Speaker 3: woman of all faced a judge for unrelated misdemeanor phony
Speaker 3: cases before the arraignment yesterday, most notably Terry Styles, who
Speaker 3: was not present during the arraignment. Interesting fun facts for
Speaker 3: this guy. He is being held in the Hemlin County
Speaker 3: Justice Center on a one million dollar bond. He's been
Speaker 3: charged with one kind of aggravated arson in court. To
Speaker 3: the court documents, he intentionally set the fire, creating a
Speaker 3: substantial risk of serious physical harm to all of the
Speaker 3: motorists above. That's in the court documents. Again, not at
Speaker 3: the arrangement yesterday. Why that was at the recommendation of
Speaker 3: the Hamilton County Sheriff because of his unruly behavior in
Speaker 3: the jail, Local news WCPO requested and obtained jail video
Speaker 3: recorded hours before the scheduled court appearance, which shows deputies
Speaker 3: restraining Styles in a chair and placing him in a
Speaker 3: spit mask before wheeling him out of the jail pod.
Speaker 3: Fire specialist Stephen Metz, speaking with local WCPO, said, we
Speaker 3: he spoke with a lot of people that aren't in
Speaker 3: the orbit of Terry Styles, including his family, and a
Speaker 3: lot of people have said the same thing that Terry
Speaker 3: Styles had made it clear to them that he would
Speaker 3: never go back to jail. He would rather die. You
Speaker 3: might want to want me back to jail. Well, apparently
Speaker 3: not the first time he's been accused of unruly or
Speaker 3: violent behavior. Before setting the bond, Hamilton County Judge Heather
Speaker 3: Russell I appreciate Valerie Lions at CPOs reporting on this
Speaker 3: spent four uninterrupted minutes reading off Style's lengthy criminal record,
Speaker 3: which goes back to when he was a juvenile and
Speaker 3: an out of state parole transfer in Texas. She listed
Speaker 3: off The judge listed off charges filed in Butler, Warren
Speaker 3: and Campbell Counties between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: Most ignored.
Speaker 3: Include obstructing official business, illegal possession of a firearm in
Speaker 3: Middletown and ov Im Lebanon, and trespassing in Newport. Quote
Speaker 3: he was he has one violent felony, one felony, one
Speaker 3: violent misdemeanor, four misdemeanors, nine minor misdemeanors, and three failures
Speaker 3: to appear close.
Speaker 2: Quote from Jude Russell.
Speaker 3: Reports say the courts dismissed a twenty twenty resisting arrest
Speaker 3: charge as well as a charge for assault and failure
Speaker 3: to obtain his or to contain his pit bull. That
Speaker 3: was back from twenty eighteen. Who was convicted of aggravated
Speaker 3: menacing and drug trafficking in twenty seventeen. Judge dismissed an
Speaker 3: assault charge back in twenty sixteen. He was convicted of
Speaker 3: felonious assault in two thousand and five, and he served
Speaker 3: the maximum sentence of eight years in the Ohio Department
Speaker 3: of Correction and Rehabilitation. So you know, Great Most recently
Speaker 3: charged in April with trespassing and that case is still pending.
Speaker 3: Question what we do with folks like that out in
Speaker 3: society six thirty five Here fifty tell run six forty
Speaker 3: two fifty five fairc Detalk station. Before I get to
Speaker 3: the phones, bear with me, Kribby to Mike call your
Speaker 3: early Steve's wanted to know about the quarks. He didn't
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to speak with Keegan Corkoran our Samlier
Speaker 3: friend here in the fifty five KERC Morning Show. I
Speaker 3: texted him and I knew he'd get right back to me.
Speaker 3: Are you ready? So your choices are screw off, synthetic
Speaker 3: or real quark. Here's the response from the second tier Samalier,
Speaker 3: only one of six hundred change in the world. For
Speaker 3: short term enjoyment doesn't matter too much, but for long
Speaker 3: term aging avoid Synthetic screw caps actually have the most
Speaker 3: longevity and are no indication of quality. There is your
Speaker 3: response from one of the few people in the world
Speaker 3: who has the status enough to actually answer the question
Speaker 3: directly appreciated, Keegan. If you're out there listening, there's your answer.
Speaker 3: Over to the phones. Cribbage Mike, Cribbage Mike Sean who's
Speaker 3: covering for Joe's direcord today. I saw his face light
Speaker 3: up when he saw your name because you are identified
Speaker 3: as Cribbage Mike on the board, because Joe assigns names
Speaker 3: so we know who people are and who to avoid.
Speaker 3: So I saw him crack up. I saw him even
Speaker 3: say Cribbage Mike, and I said, I had to explain
Speaker 3: who you were. You're a submariner and you learn how
Speaker 3: to play cribbage, and I told the background. So we
Speaker 3: have inspired Sean, who said, I've always wanted to learn
Speaker 3: how to play that game. So we've inspired him to
Speaker 3: look into it. And so maybe we will have a
Speaker 3: fellow cribbage player. Welcome back my suburb, your friend. Thank
Speaker 3: you for your service to our country. It's always a
Speaker 3: pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 5: Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 10: And that wine information. So that's why Boone's farm has
Speaker 10: grew on caps.
Speaker 3: Right, right, no indication of quality that remember remember Mogan
Speaker 3: David twenty.
Speaker 10: Twenty absolutely Andy, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well ripple Thunderbird, Thunderbird football games.
Speaker 3: Let me, I guys just gonna say you had the
Speaker 3: same kind of childhood I did. As take me back
Speaker 3: to high school?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom.
Speaker 10: Two points. Job opportunities out there for a good friend.
Speaker 10: Orlando Sanza, even though he's doing a phenomenal job as
Speaker 10: a director of the Hamilton County Veteran Service Organization. With
Speaker 10: a new administration, maybe somebody in the Trump administration might
Speaker 10: tap him as the new Southern District of Ohio federal prosecutor.
Speaker 10: With his prosecutor prosecutorial resume.
Speaker 3: I you know what another sound idea I would take
Speaker 3: Orlando suns. They put him in any position, and of
Speaker 3: course he is gonna be great with the working for
Speaker 3: Ham and County veteran services. He was a great prosecutor.
Speaker 3: He's just an all round well rounded right guy. He's
Speaker 3: just he's pleasant, he's brilliant, he's he loves America. He
Speaker 3: probably served his country, you know. I mean he's got
Speaker 3: no downside and a beautiful I mean, he married. He
Speaker 3: outkicked his coverage as far as it can possibly out
Speaker 3: kicked in terms of his wife, and he's got a
Speaker 3: beautiful family.
Speaker 2: I just eat anything. I'll take anything at this juncture.
Speaker 10: Well, once once again for an army guy, he has
Speaker 10: my vote. That's the big game this weekend. So although
Speaker 10: it looks we have an uphill battle, that army team has.
Speaker 1: Been very good all year.
Speaker 2: What's the spread on that one?
Speaker 10: I don't even know, but it could be interest. Maybe
Speaker 10: that's what the drones are flying around for. They're going
Speaker 10: to do a test drive up there in Boston.
Speaker 3: But you, being a military guy, I don't have to
Speaker 3: put you on the spot. But don't you find it
Speaker 3: a little peculiar that nobody in any of our leated
Speaker 3: organizations seems to me to answer their question straightforward, like
Speaker 3: where these damn things came from and what the hell
Speaker 3: they're doing flying around New Jersey all the time.
Speaker 10: Well, I hate to equate it to the four seventy
Speaker 10: one bridge, but once again we got a finger wag
Speaker 10: by the mayor the other day, said we told you
Speaker 10: it wasn't homeless. We knew this two weeks ago. Well,
Speaker 10: then come out and say it so same way here.
Speaker 10: You know, if this is good a purpose, maybe for
Speaker 10: the inauguration, they're doing test runs, you know, don't say it.
Speaker 10: We don't have to know all the details.
Speaker 3: No, they're ours. That would be enough. They belonged to us.
Speaker 3: They're the government's drones. It's open airspace. We're allowed to
Speaker 3: fly them there. We have the clearance and the authorizations.
Speaker 3: Bite of the fact that you every day it isn't
Speaker 3: might not but whatever, or if they really don't know,
Speaker 3: why don't you just shoot one down?
Speaker 2: How difficult can that be? Mike?
Speaker 3: I mean, we have all the military technology in the world. Look,
Speaker 3: we just approved an almost trillion dollar military budget. You
Speaker 3: think there might be a few dollars in there for
Speaker 3: anti drone technology, because I'm sure there was a few
Speaker 3: dollars thrown in that direction under prior defense authorization bills.
Speaker 10: Well, hopefully they're easier to shoot down than Chinese Fi balloons.
Speaker 3: H Man, Just what a reflection of incompetence that exercise was?
Speaker 10: Geez yeah, real quick with Daniel Penny. To use a
Speaker 10: Navy term, when an aircraft carrier change its course, it
Speaker 10: starts off very slowly before it gets into its intended course.
Speaker 10: And two things I took away from the Daniel Penny verdict.
Speaker 10: First Off, when they dropped the manslaughter charge and they
Speaker 10: were going to go just with reckless homicide, and I
Speaker 10: heard that the jury came back in less than two hours,
Speaker 10: I thought for sure that was going to be guilty.
Speaker 10: So the fact that those twelve people in the box
Speaker 10: of the New York City saw for what it was
Speaker 10: and came back with not guilty. I was thoroughly thrilled
Speaker 10: at that. Secondly, the BLM idiots that were out front,
Speaker 10: Now two three years ago, we would have had Attorney
Speaker 10: Benjamin Crump out there. The streets would have been packed,
Speaker 10: but hopefully over time. And the way that BLM misused
Speaker 10: all those funds and took a lot of people for
Speaker 10: a song. Once again, this was not the case and
Speaker 10: the fact that you had eight or nine people show
Speaker 10: up and then they were gone by the six o'clock news.
Speaker 10: Once again, maybe we're on the right course we.
Speaker 3: Are, And with that I will strongly encourage my listeners
Speaker 3: because I wanted to get to it myself today. I'm
Speaker 3: a big fan of Daniel hening You're writing for the
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal. He addressed that very topic and an
Speaker 3: op ed piece. Since I believe today's journal that hopeful
Speaker 3: Daniel Penny verdict subtitle a New York City jury decision
Speaker 3: could be the start of a long overdue social correction,
Speaker 3: and he brings up some of the points you just made,
Speaker 3: delves into them a little bit more deeply, and it
Speaker 3: makes some great points. So if you've got an opportunity
Speaker 3: to do it again, that hopeful Daniel Penny Verdict by
Speaker 3: Daniel Heninger, I think you'll put a smile on your
Speaker 3: face and give you some hope and optimism, especially during
Speaker 3: this well, hopeful and joyous time of year. Maybe we
Speaker 3: have turned the band Mike. Great to hear from you,
Speaker 3: my friend, Thanks again for your service to our country.
Speaker 2: Six forty eight.
Speaker 3: Right now, if you have Kercity Talk station Chimneycare fireplaces though,
Speaker 3: they'd perform a great service. Speaking of Mike, perfect opportunity
Speaker 3: to mention Chimneycare fireplaces though, because they're coming over to
Speaker 3: his place and figure out why his gas fireplace is smoking. Yeah,
Speaker 3: sorry to let the world know, Mike that you got
Speaker 3: to smoke and gas though. But you did call the
Speaker 3: right people, and I'm glad you're relying on one of
Speaker 3: my sponsors to take. Coming up at six fifty four
Speaker 3: if if you have ker City Talk station after the
Speaker 3: top of the our news, Senator Ran Paul, one of
Speaker 3: the really good ones. We're me talking about the border,
Speaker 3: talking about COVID nineteen report that came out damning it.
Speaker 3: Is very interested in hearing what the Senator has to
Speaker 3: say about that one. I hope you are as well,
Speaker 3: and we'll talk DOGE of course, Elon Musk and Vivek
Speaker 3: Grandma sam Me and I saw another article about that
Speaker 3: a lot of people are lining up to participate. Headline
Speaker 3: no pay for an eighty hour workweek, DOGE applicants say,
Speaker 3: bring it on. Hopefuls line up for Elon Musk and
Speaker 3: Vivek Grandma Sami's Department of Government Efficiency and hopefully all
Speaker 3: those hopefuls are brilliant business people, men and women of
Speaker 3: all types and stripes that know how to cut the waste,
Speaker 3: cut the fraud and waste and abuse from government and
Speaker 3: back over real quick to the Daniel Penny verdict. You know,
Speaker 3: the in connection with the Black Life Life's criticism of this,
Speaker 3: they're trying to make this George Floyd thing out of it,
Speaker 3: as if Daniel Penny actually wanted to go after this
Speaker 3: insane guy who was threatening to kill people because the
Speaker 3: insane guy threatening to kill people was black, And if
Speaker 3: weren't for the fact that he was black, then Danielny
Speaker 3: wouldn't have lifted a finger.
Speaker 2: What is the complete opposite?
Speaker 9: Is it?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 3: Considering who testified a trial, witnesses who say they he
Speaker 3: actually saved their lives perhaps or at least came to
Speaker 3: the rescue they were scared witless, included many people of color.
Speaker 3: And if he was truly a racist and this crazy
Speaker 3: guy was gonna kill somebody, maybe he might have kicked
Speaker 3: back and gotten his popcorn out and just let it unfold. Right,
Speaker 3: wouldn't that been more racist to do that? Just a thought,
Speaker 3: But I think what we need to recognize it's like
Speaker 3: people praising the murderer who gunned down the CEO the
Speaker 3: other day, praising him as if he's some sort of hero.
Speaker 3: This is a bunch of Marxists, and they failed to
Speaker 3: appreciate why healthcare is so difficult and impossible. It's because
Speaker 3: of government intervention and involvement that has grown exponentially, if
Speaker 3: not geometrically, over the past hundred years. You might have
Speaker 3: a little little deeper dive in that before you start accusing, Yes,
Speaker 3: maybe overpaid but well paid CEOs at giant health insurance companies.
Speaker 3: How it is that they've gotten so big and have
Speaker 3: so much control over medical insurance. It's well because the
Speaker 3: government regulations and involvement, mandates and edicts and the like.
Speaker 3: We also have a bit of a healthcare problem in
Speaker 3: this country as well. Anyhow, just give it some more
Speaker 3: thought and remember the loudest, squeakiest wheels do not represent
Speaker 3: the majority. Going back to Dan Heninger's piece, we probably
Speaker 3: have turned to Ben here on the insanity that the
Speaker 3: left has brought on this country. If you look at
Speaker 3: what has happened, the election of Donald Trump ended of itself.
Speaker 3: He talked about the numbers of very, very concentrated dark
Speaker 3: blue New York bureaus are at least the word. I'm
Speaker 3: struggling for burrows, thank you, Brian, that have substantially shifted over,
Speaker 3: at least in so far as voting for Trump, the ones,
Speaker 3: the prosecutors, the woke prosecutors like Gascone that have been
Speaker 3: thrown out of office. I think we've all reached the
Speaker 3: end of our rope on this. So just because you
Speaker 3: hear it and it sounds insane, because it's repeated over
Speaker 3: and over again, I think that's just the insanity being repeated.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, horrific news stories from around the globe.
Speaker 3: Those things will land in front of your lap, even
Speaker 3: though you probably it never would have landed on your
Speaker 3: radar pre Internet. Crazy stuffs gets reported and repeated. It
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it represents the vast majority of people. It
Speaker 3: doesn't even mean it represents even close to a sizeable
Speaker 3: chunk of the population. Senator and Paul after the news,
Speaker 3: I hope you can stick around. Neither provides quality roofing
Speaker 3: and repairs. Call seven to seven four ninety four ninety
Speaker 3: five seven M six here fifty five KRC detalk station
Speaker 3: A very Happy Friday, eve to you made even extra
Speaker 3: special because I'm pleased to welcome back to the fifty
Speaker 3: five Carce Morning Show, Senator rand Paul. Welcome back, Senator Paul.
Speaker 3: I love having you on the morning show. My listeners
Speaker 3: love you too. Welcome back.
Speaker 7: Good morning, Brian, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Pleasure is all mine and my listeners. Let's start at
Speaker 2: the border.
Speaker 3: I think one of the reasons Donald Trump won, I
Speaker 3: mean and handily won the election is because of the
Speaker 3: chaos the Biden administration unleashed on the American public at
Speaker 3: large by not shutting down the border or doing something
Speaker 3: to control the unmitigated massive flow of humanity screen people
Speaker 3: in Democrat cities. The blue Democrat cities are screaming their
Speaker 3: bloody heads off at town halls and public meetings, yelling
Speaker 3: at their Democrat mayors for not doing something about it.
Speaker 3: The resources being soaked up, schools are overwhelmed. Are we
Speaker 3: going to get some sense back on the border? Can
Speaker 3: we shut it down? And can we even unring the
Speaker 3: bell of the millions that have already flown into our country.
Speaker 7: I think the answer is yes on all fronts. I
Speaker 7: think on day one, President Trump will reinstitute probably over
Speaker 7: ninety executive orders that Biden removed, so during the first
Speaker 7: Trump administration he had over ninety executive orders that did
Speaker 7: help shut down the border. We believe that Congress has
Speaker 7: given him a great deal of latitude. We've read the
Speaker 7: immigration law and we think he can go further than
Speaker 7: he's gone in the past. We believe that allowing migrants
Speaker 7: to come in for political asylum, the entire process is optional,
Speaker 7: so we think you don't have to begin the process.
Speaker 7: We believe that the president has the power when people
Speaker 7: are in the middle of the river or getting out
Speaker 7: of the river, simply to put them back on the
Speaker 7: Mexican side. And that's what I'm going to be advocating.
Speaker 7: I'm going to have a hearing on this before the
Speaker 7: president has sworn in. It's going to be called Remain
Speaker 7: in Mexico, and we will have this hearing, and we're
Speaker 7: going to encourage him to interpret our migration laws to
Speaker 7: say that if you come in illegally, you're ineligible for
Speaker 7: migration or for asylum, and then you don't have to
Speaker 7: go through this year's long process of appeals. Now, the
Speaker 7: people who have already come, I believe they can be
Speaker 7: their parole can be revoked. It's sort of like a
Speaker 7: criminal proceeding. They're out on parole pending a trial. Well,
Speaker 7: the trials happened in four years, and you can never
Speaker 7: find him. Nobody enforces it. If Trump comes in and says, well,
Speaker 7: two million you know, young adult men came in last
Speaker 7: year and we're worried whether their criminals were going to
Speaker 7: revoke their pearl and immediately have their trials, I think
Speaker 7: you could go forward with that. People say there aren't
Speaker 7: enough judges. I think every border agent can be deputized
Speaker 7: to a judge the case on whether or not someone
Speaker 7: is validly in the country, and so no. I think
Speaker 7: a lot of this can be reversed, and it's just
Speaker 7: a matter of willpower. Biden had no willpower. I think
Speaker 7: Trump comes in with a mandate on the border, and
Speaker 7: I think you will see action.
Speaker 3: Well, and I would I would think you would see
Speaker 3: corollary action on the part of the Mexican government, who,
Speaker 3: if stuck with all of the would would be entrants
Speaker 3: into the United States or they're standing in the northern
Speaker 3: side of the Mexican border. The Mexican government isn't going
Speaker 3: to want to allow that to happen. They're going to
Speaker 3: stop them from flowing in through their southern border or
Speaker 3: otherwise gaining entry into their country.
Speaker 7: We have too, the Mexican government controls only about maybe
Speaker 7: seventy five percent of Mexico. The twenty five percent is
Speaker 7: really controlled by the cartels. So the Mexicans probably will
Speaker 7: try and they could block their southern border for people
Speaker 7: coming in that They probably have more ability on their
Speaker 7: southern border than their northern.
Speaker 10: Border, but yeah, they could.
Speaker 7: They could choose to control their borders and otherwise they're
Speaker 7: going to be stuck with these people, many of whom
Speaker 7: have been released from prisons in Venezuela and Colombia, different places.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think there's all kinds of things now.
Speaker 7: One of the rules that Trump had put in place
Speaker 7: during his first administration was that you have to if
Speaker 7: you want to apply for asylum in our country, you
Speaker 7: have to do it from a country that is, you know,
Speaker 7: the one that is a danger. If you're standing in
Speaker 7: a safe country, you can't apply from that country. So basically,
Speaker 7: if you're standing in Mexico and they're not the ones
Speaker 7: persecuting you, you say it's Venezuela, You've got to apply
Speaker 7: from Mexico. You don't get to apply from the US.
Speaker 7: You stay in the safe country, because it'd be no
Speaker 7: reason for you to say you're unsafe in Mexico. And
Speaker 7: so many of these asylums. What he was doing with
Speaker 7: remain of Mexico is forcing them to stay in Mexico
Speaker 7: or in the process, and they got tired of that.
Speaker 7: They want to come in here and get as much
Speaker 7: free stuff they can get in our country. They don't
Speaker 7: want to stay in northern Mexico, so it deters them
Speaker 7: after a while and they quit coming.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: And this obviously has become a very popular thing, the
Speaker 3: idea of closing the borders, and because our own all
Speaker 3: of our resources being taxed. I mean, even the most
Speaker 3: liberal individual in this country has a list of things
Speaker 3: they want from government and they cannot get it because
Speaker 3: all of the additional dollars, to the extent we even
Speaker 3: have any, are going to deal with this insane cost
Speaker 3: of dealing with the migrants that are already here. I mean,
Speaker 3: I feel so sorry for children who are trying to
Speaker 3: get an education. Sending a class with fifty brand new
Speaker 3: children who don't even speak English and requires English as
Speaker 3: a second language instruction that's a lot of money.
Speaker 7: Well, imagine if you live in a Texas border town
Speaker 7: and your wife's pregnant and you're trying to get delivered
Speaker 7: at the local hospital and the hospitals overwhelmed with people
Speaker 7: coming in from another country. You know, the hospitals really
Speaker 7: in these border towns do become overwhelmed and it's difficult
Speaker 7: for the people who live there just to get ordinary
Speaker 7: either schooling or healthcare.
Speaker 3: Well, I suppose, and the media love through for this
Speaker 3: is mass deportation, But when you're talking about focusing at
Speaker 3: least first and foremost on the outright adjudicated criminals, there's
Speaker 3: very little argument that one can raise an opposition to
Speaker 3: doing it that way that's going to get any traction
Speaker 3: with the American public.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the public was horrified by what happened
Speaker 7: to that wonderful young lady Lake and Riley, And I
Speaker 7: think they were horrified to find out that there's supposedly
Speaker 7: fifteen thousand people that are wanted for murder or convicted
Speaker 7: of murder in our country. Another thirteen thousand they're convicted
Speaker 7: or wanted for sexual crimes. I think people are just
Speaker 7: horrified by that, And it didn't appear that I didn't
Speaker 7: did anything. You know, we had thirty five thousand FBI agents,
Speaker 7: many of them you know, working on speech censorship. They
Speaker 7: can be reassigned from censoring my speech online and maybe
Speaker 7: sent them after some of these criminals. So I think
Speaker 7: if we had an all points bulletin, all hands on deck,
Speaker 7: and we went after these, you know, if you were
Speaker 7: able to announce that he arrested one thousand wanted criminals
Speaker 7: in the first month or two, I think that'll be
Speaker 7: a huge success.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And those resources are better spent of chasing down
Speaker 3: dangerous criminals than seventy two year old women who might
Speaker 3: have walked into the Capitol building on January six. Anyway,
Speaker 3: moving away, what was your response to the Select Committee's
Speaker 3: report on COVID. I was just shocked by what they
Speaker 3: revealed in that one Senator Ron Paul.
Speaker 7: You know, they did a lot of good stuff, and
Speaker 7: they Matigulsey went through and interviewed a lot of these people,
Speaker 7: including Anthony Fauci, and you know, the conclusion that Anthony
Speaker 7: Fauci was dishonest, that he had lied to the committee,
Speaker 7: I think is what we expected. I will become a
Speaker 7: chairman in January. God willing, and I'm going to use
Speaker 7: that power to continue to look for the records because
Speaker 7: I believe the funding of the lab was approved by
Speaker 7: Anthony Fauci, but I also believe that he purposely exempted
Speaker 7: the research from the normal safety committee. So in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 7: they set up a big committee, a safety committee, to
Speaker 7: look at dangerous gain of function research, and yet the
Speaker 7: Wuhan research that he funded never went before the committee.
Speaker 7: And the question is why. He says, well, my scientist
Speaker 7: told me it wasn't gain a function. So we've asked,
Speaker 7: let's see the deliberation. We'd like to see the argument
Speaker 7: you're scientists made. Because this error led to a million
Speaker 7: Americans dying in fifteen million people dying around the world,
Speaker 7: we want to know which scientists argued what and why
Speaker 7: they thought it was safe to do this research instead.
Speaker 7: None of that has come out. But I've been talking
Speaker 7: to all of Trump's appointees. I'm ecstatic about most of them.
Speaker 7: You know, Marty McCarey will be at the FDA, he's amazing.
Speaker 7: J at Acharia at NIH amazing. I met Dave Weldon,
Speaker 7: who will be at the CDC, amazing. Robert Kennedy at
Speaker 7: the head of HHS. Amazing. All of these people have
Speaker 7: pledged not only to me but really in public life
Speaker 7: to get to the bottom of this. So instead of
Speaker 7: me fighting with bureaucrats and getting nothing and being stonewalled
Speaker 7: and having to take them to court, I think we're
Speaker 7: going to have a friendly administration and I fully believe
Speaker 7: that there must be something there because they've tenaciously fought
Speaker 7: to keep these records from me.
Speaker 3: You were elected, along with the rest of the House
Speaker 3: and Senate to do oversight. You are performing a function
Speaker 3: on behalf of the American people. Those people who are
Speaker 3: stonewalling youth Senator Ran Paul and the rest of the
Speaker 3: elected officials are supposed to be answerable to you, and
Speaker 3: the idea under any circumstances that they would refuse this
Speaker 3: information from you when you have formed a select committee
Speaker 3: to look into it, I find absolutely appalling and inexplicable absent.
Speaker 3: As you point out something, the faery is going on
Speaker 3: in the background.
Speaker 7: So we've sent letters and they're not signed by just me.
Speaker 7: Some of them are signed by me, some are signed
Speaker 7: by the Democrat chairman with me, some are signed by
Speaker 7: five senators, and there's an actual statute that was passed
Speaker 7: that said if any five senators, even if they're also
Speaker 7: in the same party, sign a letter that by law,
Speaker 7: you have to give this information. They've resisted all of these,
Speaker 7: so I think it's actually a cause for them to
Speaker 7: be fired, removed from office, or even prosecuted. Does that
Speaker 7: if the Trump administration will go after these people, we're
Speaker 7: going to find you know, people on the left say, oh,
Speaker 7: the deep state, you're making it up. What is the
Speaker 7: deep state? Well, the deep state are people who have
Speaker 7: their own political agenda and they resist the will of
Speaker 7: the people who they're elected officials. That's the deep state,
Speaker 7: and they need to be fired. They need to be
Speaker 7: sent packing. And boy, I am very hopeful.
Speaker 3: I am too, And I love hearing these words out
Speaker 3: of your mouth because you know that fuels conspiracy theories.
Speaker 3: I mean, every time this concept comes up, someone usually
Speaker 3: emails me or sends me a message or otherwise communicates
Speaker 3: with me saying, well, the reason they don't anybody know
Speaker 3: about this is because this was all about global population control.
Speaker 3: They wanted a lot of people to die. And I'm
Speaker 3: thinking of myself, you know, really, is that really part
Speaker 3: of someone's agenda? Well, I don't know, they won't let
Speaker 3: us know. They have never explained to us what the
Speaker 3: point was of doing gain of function research along these
Speaker 3: lines was in the first place.
Speaker 7: And that is a real rub, and there is a
Speaker 7: real debate to be had there, you know. Anthony Valci's
Speaker 7: conclusion was that even if an accident should occur, the
Speaker 7: knowledge gained would be worth the risk. And yet many
Speaker 7: other scientists, credentialed scientist with you know, twenty years in
Speaker 7: academia and a couple hundred peer reviewed papers, say that
Speaker 7: they don't see any useful knowledge that's been gained. It's
Speaker 7: it's sort of a misplaced curiosity. It's like, hey, guys,
Speaker 7: e bowl is really deadly. It's a fifty percent deadly virus.
Speaker 7: Why don't we mutate it and see if we can
Speaker 7: get it spread through the air to mammals?
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 7: And it's like, well, that's that's a sort of a
Speaker 7: morbid teenage curiosity that some adults should look and say, well, gosh,
Speaker 7: what if it escaped the lab and killed everybody? You know,
Speaker 7: might be a good idea. And yet that's the kind
Speaker 7: of thing that Anthony Vaalci approved because he had a
Speaker 7: very naive understanding of the dangers of this research, and
Speaker 7: there are many people believe this is going to happen again,
Speaker 7: and so you know, I'm going to do everything I can.
Speaker 7: I have a bill to set up a presidential commission
Speaker 7: to oversee this research such that if it's dangerous, this
Speaker 7: commission we would have the ability to stop it. So
Speaker 7: I'm going to try to get that passed. We're right,
Speaker 7: we're trying to get it passed this year. If we don't,
Speaker 7: we'll try to get it and get the help of
Speaker 7: President Trump next year set.
Speaker 2: A rampa on it. We're really out of time.
Speaker 3: I know you've got to get back to your job,
Speaker 3: but I have to ask you quickly because I have
Speaker 3: been excited about the concept. Maybe not that it's going
Speaker 3: to have some really wonderful success along the lines that
Speaker 3: was originally outlined, but this DOGE independent non government office
Speaker 3: that's going to look in and start paring down, get
Speaker 3: riding of fraud, waste and abuse, saving the taxpayers some money.
Speaker 3: Are you optimistic along any lines that Ramaswamy and Musk
Speaker 3: and whoever else joins this can accomplish something.
Speaker 7: Well, Novavek Ramaswami well and communicating with him, we've advanced
Speaker 7: him two thousand pages the waste. You know, each year
Speaker 7: I collect waste about this time and do my Festivus
Speaker 7: report on my grievances with government with waste. But it's
Speaker 7: systematically done and we have ten years worth of it.
Speaker 7: We've sent that to them.
Speaker 2: They have that on file.
Speaker 7: We've told them we'll assist them in any way if
Speaker 7: nothing else. They draw great public attention to it, and
Speaker 7: the public is, you know, outraged at this. I mean,
Speaker 7: all I have to do is go into the you know,
Speaker 7: talk to the people in the mountains of North Carolina
Speaker 7: to say, you know what, there's plenty of money going
Speaker 7: over there to help victims in Ukraine, and not that
Speaker 7: it seem doesn't seem to be a penny to help you.
Speaker 7: And people get that, and their politicians in North Carolina,
Speaker 7: many of them are the ones promoting sending the money
Speaker 7: to Ukraine. And so I think people are mad, and
Speaker 7: I think people are smarter than you give them credit for. Ye,
Speaker 7: So I think something's going to happen.
Speaker 3: Shrimp on treadmill research, Senator Paul, that speaks volumes outrageous.
Speaker 3: Senator M Paul, keep it the great work. We all
Speaker 3: have your back I'll look forward to talking with you again.
Speaker 3: I'm sure we won't talk for the end of the year,
Speaker 3: So Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Festivus For the
Speaker 3: rest of us, We'll look forward to the Festivus Report
Speaker 3: as we do every year. God bless you, sir, and
Speaker 3: thanks for spending time with us today.
Speaker 7: Same to you, guys.
Speaker 2: Seven fifty five KRC the talk station. Love that guy,
Speaker 2: Love fourn Ex Shataday In first one weather Look forecast,
Speaker 2: It's going to be sunny as it starts out today,
Speaker 2: but it's going to get cloudier later. High a thirty

Speaker 3: Seven thirty year, fifty five kr C the Talk station.
Speaker 3: A lot of the air is normally uh, you know,
Speaker 3: local stories, unless we have guests don and Okay, today
Speaker 3: we do have the return to Donovan and Neo for
Speaker 3: Americans for Prospery to talk about Ohio House Schools seventy nine.
Speaker 3: But first, Donovan, hold on one moment because it's a
Speaker 3: very important day for the fifty five KRC Morning show
Speaker 3: listeners and most notably the West Side of Cincinnati residence
Speaker 3: because it is west Side Jim Keefer's birthday. So happy birthday, Jim,
Speaker 3: and everybody in town knows. Jim, Donovan O'Neill, welcome back
Speaker 3: to the morning show for Americans for Prosperity. It's great
Speaker 3: to have you on today.
Speaker 2: It's great to be on here, especially on such a
Speaker 2: momentous day it is.
Speaker 3: I listen, you're in rarefied air, so especially on the
Speaker 3: heels of Senator Rand Paul, So this is a power
Speaker 3: hour right now. Anyway, what the hell is Houspital seventy nine.
Speaker 2: I read.
Speaker 3: Hannah Cubbins letter to the various chairs and folks up
Speaker 3: in elected capacity in Columbus Legislative director for Americans for
Speaker 3: Prospery Ohio Chapter did a wonderful job breaking down all
Speaker 3: of the reasons. It sounds like it's a terrible thing.
Speaker 3: But what is the general concept of HB seventy nine.
Speaker 3: What's it supposed to do that the Republicans that control
Speaker 3: Columbus would actually put this thing forward?
Speaker 2: Donovan?
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, so a heart at the heart of it.
Speaker 12: What the bill sponsors are seeking to do is an
Speaker 12: act energy efficiency programs here in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 12: And the purpose for that, and it's a noble purpose, right,
Speaker 12: as the bill sponsors would say, It's to bend down
Speaker 12: the cost curve the demand curve of energy here in
Speaker 12: the state of Ohio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I do commercials for USA installation, right,
Speaker 3: you know, guaranteed savings. You buy the insulation, it pays
Speaker 3: for itself. It makes your house more comfortable, lowers your
Speaker 3: heating bills. That's a voluntary thing. I mean, my life,
Speaker 3: and I paid for it for my daughter and her
Speaker 3: boyfriend now fiance's house.
Speaker 2: It's the right thing to do. So I don't need
Speaker 2: to be told that.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, absolutely, well, And that's about where our agreement on
Speaker 12: the idea ends with the bill sponsors those in support
Speaker 12: of this legislation, because what this does is it goes
Speaker 12: a step further and a step too far in our opinion,
Speaker 12: and that it is a program that once folks are
Speaker 12: in it, they're locked in it for up to five years.
Speaker 12: They are required to pay a monthly fee. And then
Speaker 12: even the folks who opt out of it, both in
Speaker 12: and out of it, there's a mechanism called lost distribution
Speaker 12: revenue that would be a fee that the innergy utility
Speaker 12: companies can go back to the state of Ohio and say, hey,
Speaker 12: we're not because everybody's insulated their homes and the smart
Speaker 12: therm stacks are, you know, working as intended, we're not
Speaker 12: making as much money anymore, and we need to recoup
Speaker 12: that lost revenue, and so we can add a surcharge
Speaker 12: to folks bills to bring that money back in for us.
Speaker 12: And so at the end of the day, it's an
Speaker 12: anti consumer bill that doesn't do a lot to really
Speaker 12: help folks who are feeling the pain of high energy
Speaker 12: bills these days. Okay, okay, see that just that sounds
Speaker 12: like like you made it up.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not accusing you of lying donal.
Speaker 3: In the Americans for prosperity, but you know you want us,
Speaker 3: all of you, more energy efficion. And if we chose
Speaker 3: to do it on our own, if there was no
Speaker 3: house built seventy nine and all the Ohioans said, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm gonna get USA phone. We're not gonna
Speaker 3: do this, I'm gonna get triple pay windows or whatever,
Speaker 3: the amount of energy that would be used would necessarily
Speaker 3: go down, and the fees and the money flowing into
Speaker 3: the energy companies by consumer choice would necessarily go down,
Speaker 3: and they could not do anything about those lost revenues
Speaker 3: because we all acted in our own best interest.
Speaker 2: So screw you guys, basically.
Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, well, and that's what we would argue, right
Speaker 12: is you need to We want to see policies and
Speaker 12: acted right that are anti consumer right, that don't create
Speaker 12: an uneven playing field, but allow folks to operate in
Speaker 12: a free marketing for too long. Here in the state
Speaker 12: of Ohio, you just go back, you know, Hospital six
Speaker 12: being the most egregious example of this. In recent history,
Speaker 12: we've not been doing free market when it comes to energy.
Speaker 12: We've had to kind of trap folks into these programs.
Speaker 13: We have to.
Speaker 12: And it's what the supporters of the bill, one of
Speaker 12: the proponents of the bill had said, because it was
Speaker 12: brought up, a question was asked in committee last year,
Speaker 12: what if you just made the pro entirely voluntary and
Speaker 12: didn't have anybody, if people could opt in rather than
Speaker 12: have to opt out of the program. And the proponent
Speaker 12: of the legislation said, if we did that, the program
Speaker 12: would work by nature of it. What he means, Brian, right,
Speaker 12: is they have to have a lot of people enroll
Speaker 12: in the enrolled in the program for order to make
Speaker 12: it work.
Speaker 2: Psychobamacare work Psychobamacare. And I don't like them not unlike that. No, well,
Speaker 2: let's pause.
Speaker 3: I have more questions, and I'm sure my listeners have
Speaker 3: now got their curiosity piqued about this insanity.
Speaker 2: Let's pause.
Speaker 3: We'll bring Donald and Neil from Americans for Prosperity back
Speaker 3: after I mentioned the wonderful fifty five Krcity talk station.
Speaker 3: The more I stare at the notes. The more questions
Speaker 3: I have on HB seventy nine, which Donovan and Neil
Speaker 3: for Americans for Prosperities on the phone talking about you
Speaker 3: can find them online in Americans for Prosperity dot or
Speaker 3: we're talking Ohio chapter here, and this is a house
Speaker 3: Ohio house built seventy nine. So the the broader theory
Speaker 3: behind this that this house bill is going to somehow
Speaker 3: in urage us to save money or magically save us
Speaker 3: money on our energy bill. Because I'm not following. We
Speaker 3: have to opt out, make an affirmative opt out. It's
Speaker 3: not you're automatically in it unless you specifically respond to
Speaker 3: some like postcard or something you're gonna get for your
Speaker 3: utility company to opt out. So I'm kind of curious
Speaker 3: to know what opting out means. But if I stay
Speaker 3: in it, I see that I'm gonna have to pay
Speaker 3: for this lost distribution revenue that's gonna be brought about
Speaker 3: because people are saving money on their energy bills, which
Speaker 3: again is baffling to me. Large companies apparently are exempt.
Speaker 3: They can opt in, but they're not automatically included. They're
Speaker 3: the ones that use up the most energy anyway, So
Speaker 3: I mean, and it goes on from there. It's also
Speaker 3: an anti privacy thing because we have these smart thermo
Speaker 3: sets and they're allowed to spy on us through them.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Well so the you know, again, the proponents sponsors bill
Speaker 12: can make you.
Speaker 5: Know, certainly, I'm sure we've done money show and they
Speaker 5: can make.
Speaker 2: Their own case for this.
Speaker 12: But the again, the ideas behind a lot of this
Speaker 12: makes sense, right, Like, we want folks you know who
Speaker 12: want to do this, to be able to have smart thermostats,
Speaker 12: and we want energy efficiency. We want folks to be
Speaker 12: you know, good stewards of the resources that you know,
Speaker 12: if you're a Christian like I am right that that
Speaker 12: God has given us right. But what we don't want
Speaker 12: to be doing is coercing people into these things.
Speaker 2: Right, Let's cut the chase. Let's cut the chase.
Speaker 3: How does House Bill seventy nine for someone who doesn't
Speaker 3: opt out save them money?
Speaker 4: It doesn't.
Speaker 5: It doesn't do a dang thing to save them money. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Well, that's that's a big part of our opposition to it.
Speaker 12: Is it's is it's uh, this is a program we
Speaker 12: had in the state of Ohio a while back, and
Speaker 12: Democrats when they were running the state Ted Strickland arm
Speaker 12: and Buddhishuh, they had this same program in place. This
Speaker 12: is a watered down version of that program, to be sure,
Speaker 12: but it's a similar concept and we a lot of
Speaker 12: folks advocated to remove. But I remember you would get
Speaker 12: those boxes in the mail from your utility company with
Speaker 12: you know, energy efficient light bulbs and other little trinkets.
Speaker 12: And uh, you know, nobody asked for that stuff. They
Speaker 12: were paying, they were forced to pay for it. Nobody
Speaker 12: asked for it. It went in the junk tour for
Speaker 12: a lot of folks, or worse yet, the trash can
Speaker 12: and never really helped accomplish the aims of the of
Speaker 12: the of the program and it's it's mandates right.
Speaker 3: But since then LED, I'm a fan of the modern
Speaker 3: LED light bulbs. Not only do they save me money,
Speaker 3: they stay looked like the old school incandescent bulbs, they're
Speaker 3: you know, smaller, they last longer so and they're widely
Speaker 3: available and now affordable, unlike the compact fluorescent bulbs which
Speaker 3: they shoved down our throats, which did a miserable job
Speaker 3: and also caused the problem with you disposed of them
Speaker 3: because of what was inside of them. See the world
Speaker 3: has become a more efficient place and a more affordably
Speaker 3: efficient place. So all of these things well within the
Speaker 3: reach of the average person. And nine times out of
Speaker 3: ten you get the hardware stored to buy a light
Speaker 3: bulb because you'rs burned out, you're probably gonna get it
Speaker 3: up in led bulb anyway.
Speaker 2: So we'd moved way past that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, we we've moved way past it.
Speaker 2: And that's you know, we we should you know what
Speaker 2: we would say.
Speaker 12: What we said too, is you know, if you're you know,
Speaker 12: if the utility company go market these programs, right, you
Speaker 12: can have you could have these programs today if you
Speaker 12: wanted to. Yeah, you can go on and create these
Speaker 12: energy efficiency programs, elevate this, do the public information campaigns.
Speaker 12: If this is so good, And it's going to say,
Speaker 12: folks money and rational consumers. Right, most Ohioans are going
Speaker 12: to make a rational decision that's best for their pocketbook
Speaker 12: if they are within the means to do so.
Speaker 10: And that's what we need to be doing.
Speaker 12: Creating that environment, setting that setting that table for folks
Speaker 12: to be able to do that, not locking them in,
Speaker 12: forcing them into a program, and uh, collecting the money
Speaker 12: from them even if they're outside of the program.
Speaker 3: Well, and for those that don't have the means, they're
Speaker 3: going to keep paying a dollar fifty up to seven
Speaker 3: dollars and fifty cents to pay for lost distribution revenue
Speaker 3: to the energy companies.
Speaker 12: Well, so that's just the fee to be in the program.
Speaker 12: If you fail to opt out in the small window,
Speaker 12: you have to opt out. That's which you would pay
Speaker 12: that just for the privilege of being part of the program,
Speaker 12: just to access the website.
Speaker 10: Brian.
Speaker 12: Beyond that, though, is the lost distribution revenue among a
Speaker 12: number of other mechanisms that would then also at some
Speaker 12: future date potentially be tacked onto your bill, should the
Speaker 12: Public Utilities Commission in the state of Ohio and utility
Speaker 12: companies determine that's necessary.
Speaker 2: All right, So where is this in process?
Speaker 3: Can my listeners call and raise three forms of Holy
Speaker 3: hell with their elected officials in Columbus and do something
Speaker 3: about this?
Speaker 2: Or are we gone too far? Where are we? Donovan?
Speaker 12: It's in the Senate right now. It's had three hearings
Speaker 12: in the Senate Energy Committee. Chairman Bill rhini Key is
Speaker 12: the chair of that committee. You can look up the
Speaker 12: Senate Energy Committee online here in Ohio. Contact the members
Speaker 12: of that committee and let them know you oppose how
Speaker 12: still seventy nine. It's a we're that critical lane duck
Speaker 12: window where anything can happen, bills move and horse trading
Speaker 12: the curves. We want to make sure this isn't something
Speaker 12: that's on the table when the folks are doing the
Speaker 12: marathon session next week for lame doc.
Speaker 7: Jeez.
Speaker 3: There's so much built with our energy bills going through
Speaker 3: the roof, Donovan, and that's because of stupid policies related
Speaker 3: to energy generation. We could go on for hours on that.
Speaker 3: So there's every incentive in the world for us to
Speaker 3: want to lower our energy bills. We do not need
Speaker 3: some mandate or edict from government that's gonna end up
Speaker 3: having us pay again. This lost distribution mechanism is insanity
Speaker 3: to me. We can make these choices ourselves. Just go
Speaker 3: ahead and do it, save yourself some money, make the
Speaker 3: right choices, and we can move on with our lives.
Speaker 2: God bless you, Donovan and Neil.
Speaker 3: Americans for Prosperity Again online, Americans for Prosperity dot or
Speaker 3: check them out. Donovan, You're always welcome on the program,
Speaker 3: and I don't know whether you and I be talking
Speaker 3: before the Christmas break, but I wish you and your
Speaker 3: loved ones and everydy Americans for prosperity that happen is
Speaker 3: to holidays, Merry Christmas and Festivus or whatever you want
Speaker 3: to celebrate in a happy new year in front of it.
Speaker 3: And I know you and I'll be talking regularly throughout
Speaker 3: calendar year twenty twenty five at least, I hope so.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 12: Brian, Hey, Happy Christmas, Merry Christmas and happy Holidays.
Speaker 3: See you well, Thanks brother. We'll talk for five krce
Speaker 3: the talk station and talk right now QC Kinetics.
Speaker 2: Seven fifty three in fifty five KR see the talk stage.
Speaker 2: Hope you're having a very very happy Friday.
Speaker 5: EVE.
Speaker 3: iHeart Meatia Aviation or Jay Ratliff of course coming up
Speaker 3: an eight thirty. Always enjoy talking with Jay, and I
Speaker 3: hope you enjoy hearing from good friend and a U.
Speaker 3: It can be comical at times, which I enjoy. Lighthearted.
Speaker 3: Way to move on into a Friday. Early in the program,
Speaker 3: Senator Ram Paul, if you weren't around a seven o
Speaker 3: five to hear him, we talked about the border, which
Speaker 3: I'm starting to feel optimistic about the COVID report, and
Speaker 3: you know Senator ram Paul is going to be all
Speaker 3: over that moving forward during the Trump administration, and he
Speaker 3: pretty much revealed that and a comment or two about
Speaker 3: Doge with VVA Gramma Swammy already apparently has in hand
Speaker 3: a huge list of ways and areas to cut government.
Speaker 3: Because if you're familiar to Senator ram Paul, he does
Speaker 3: release his annual Festivus Report, which is just some of
Speaker 3: the more outlandish ways in which our government spends your
Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars. I mean outlandish ways, especially like continuing to
Speaker 3: send billions of dollars over to Afghanistan and the Taliban.
Speaker 3: Does that make any sense anybody considering the struggles that
Speaker 3: many Americans are having here. But anyhow, you can get
Speaker 3: that podcast if you have Caresey dot com, as well
Speaker 3: as the podcast from yesterday. Another great show yesterday with
Speaker 3: Congressman Thomas Massey and Judge of Polton of course, among others.
Speaker 3: And coming up off the top of the our News,
Speaker 3: my conspiracy theorist or pattern observers are going to really
Speaker 3: going to be enjoy hearing from the author of Burned
Speaker 3: Back Better Laheena the perf Storm or Perfect Crime, has
Speaker 3: written a follow up book this was the fire in Hawaii.
Speaker 3: It's called Sound the Alarm, the Malley disaster that sparked
Speaker 3: a global awakening, and there is some frightening, frightening stuff
Speaker 3: in this Apparently it shows us why Lahyena Burne, who
Speaker 3: and what was responsible for the strike at the fire,
Speaker 3: the complete Roadmacawaians have to take to save themselves from
Speaker 3: being rounded up into carbon neutral prison camps before it's
Speaker 3: too late. That's a quote, So stick around. I'm looking
Speaker 3: forward to him and Stephanie Brugia on the phone after
Speaker 3: the top of the iron dads that we.
Speaker 9: Can stay understand the ignorance on the campuses, talk about it.
Speaker 13: They're just getting away with all this rather than know
Speaker 13: in fact.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 3: Eight O five coming to eighty six here if you
Speaker 3: five KRC detalk station. By the time I was switching
Speaker 3: everyone very happy Thursday slash Friday Eve and looking forward
Speaker 3: to Jay rattl if I heard me the aviation excerpert
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 2: And I know Maureen is listening right now.
Speaker 3: She already bought a copy of the book Sound the Alarm,
Speaker 3: the Maui disaster that sparked global awakening be the Lahaina
Speaker 3: fires in Hawaii. Sadly, right now John is not capable
Speaker 3: of getting in touch with Stephanie Perucci, who is one
Speaker 3: of the authors of the book, so struggling to do that.
Speaker 3: He may come through on that one. I'm hoping he does,
Speaker 3: but a lot of conspiracy theories floating around on this
Speaker 3: and suggests that it is one of a connected series
Speaker 3: of fires with the broader problem of globalists doing land
Speaker 3: grabs and taking private property away from us, which I
Speaker 3: know is a global agenda. Evil private property were flies
Speaker 3: in the face of their Marxist ideology. So anyhow, I
Speaker 3: apologize for those who were patiently waiting for her to
Speaker 3: join the program. But perhaps at some other time we'll
Speaker 3: be able to get in touch with our So let's
Speaker 3: just move on and I can pivot away to the
Speaker 3: article I wanted to read from earlier, the op ed
Speaker 3: piece and dan Ninger, because it provides some optimism, and
Speaker 3: so we said we really do need some and some
Speaker 3: of the conversation hey with Senator Ram Paul reminded me
Speaker 3: of this. So this is a good opportunity to dive
Speaker 3: back on into it. Hope that hopeful Daniel Penny verdict
Speaker 3: You're right through with hours of this week, New Yorker's
Speaker 3: were rocked by two news alerts. First the announcement that
Speaker 3: Manhattan and Jerry had acquitted Daniel Penny, a criminal negligent
Speaker 3: homicide in the subway death of Jordan Neely. Hours later
Speaker 3: came the news that cops in Altoona, Pennsylvania, had captured
Speaker 3: Luigi Mangioni, who last week allegedly gunned down United Healthcare
Speaker 3: CEO Brian Thompson in front of the Hilton on Sixth Avenue.
Speaker 3: Fast forward a bit in the op ed the week
Speaker 3: before Thanksgiving, a man in Lower Manhattan was caught on
Speaker 3: video holding a long knife in his sweatshirt. He then
Speaker 3: fatally stabbed a construction worker on West nineteenth Street. He
Speaker 3: ran across town, stabbed a man fishing by the East River,
Speaker 3: killing him, and he ran up First Avenue and stabbed
Speaker 3: a woman sitting on a bench. She later died. Caught nearby.
Speaker 3: Finally caught the alleged stabber, Ramon Rivera, a well known
Speaker 3: mad man who had been arrested and released numerous times,
Speaker 3: as had Jordan Neely. Jordan Neely had a rest record
Speaker 3: a mile and a half long. For about twenty years
Speaker 3: from the mid nineteen nineties, when Rudy Giuliani was mayor
Speaker 3: through Mike Bloomberg's Maryll terms, New York City was almost
Speaker 3: totally safe. You could walk anywhere, ride the subway anytime
Speaker 3: without fear. After the pandemic, one reason Manhattan restaurants ended
Speaker 3: late seatings that their workers didn't want to ride the
Speaker 3: subway home to the outer Burrows in the wee hours.
Speaker 3: In March, Governor Kathy Hockel deployed the National Guard and
Speaker 3: State Police to the subway system. Just after Donald Trump
Speaker 3: won the twenty twenty four presidential election, the City University
Speaker 3: of New York Graduate Center produced a fascinating map of
Speaker 3: the city's voting district showing the percentage of mister Trump's
Speaker 3: gain in vote share from twenty twenty It was generally
Speaker 3: between seven percent and twenty five percent. The Trump gains
Speaker 3: in Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn are striking as his
Speaker 3: movement to the right. In many Manhattan precincts, it was
Speaker 3: a vote against the status quo. After Manhattan District Attorney
Speaker 3: Alvin Bragg decided to indict mister Penny for Neelie's death.
Speaker 3: The public reaction bifurcated along familiar lines, with conservative groups
Speaker 3: adopting mister Penny's cause. Some three million dollars was raised
Speaker 3: online for his defense, and left wing activists like Al
Speaker 3: Sharpton and Black Black Lives Matter demonstrating outside the courthouse
Speaker 3: for his conviction. The trial itself turned out to be
Speaker 3: more complicated than our politics. The defense made clear that
Speaker 3: many passengers in the subway car were terrified by Neely's
Speaker 3: verbal threat to kill someone, and grateful that mister Penny
Speaker 3: intervened his lawyer's established reasonable doubt about the cause of
Speaker 3: Neelie's death. If this trial had occurred soon after the
Speaker 3: two twenty twenty George Floyd killing of Minneapolis, mister Penny
Speaker 3: almost certainly would be imprisoned. Instead, a Manhattan jury reached
Speaker 3: no verdict on manslaughter and acquitted him of a lesser charge.
Speaker 2: My reading, damn Inger, New.
Speaker 3: York City's residents are basically okay with the result, since
Speaker 3: the alternative would have been to confirm mister Bragg's determination
Speaker 3: to imprison mister Pennedy for preventing yet another act of random,
Speaker 3: often fatal violence. A verdict is a clear dissent from
Speaker 3: the progressive criminal justice theories of mister Bragg and his
Speaker 3: local allies. Meanwhile, other side of the country, voters in
Speaker 3: Los Angeles County last month voted overwhelming to oust progressive
Speaker 3: prosecutor George Gascone. California voters also approved a significant anti
Speaker 3: crime initiative. In September, Oregon's legislature reversed the state's experiment
Speaker 3: and drug decriminalization. The shorthand version of these events is
Speaker 3: that voters are quote unquote moving right, perhaps more precisely,
Speaker 3: the repudiating public policies and governing models that don't work.
Speaker 3: Now pause on that one, because I mentioned something along
Speaker 3: those lines. Multitude oft times tough on crime, protecting neighborhoods,
Speaker 3: having a strong police force that doesn't bear political stripe.
Speaker 3: Everybody wants a safe neighborhood. It's these evil leftists and
Speaker 3: Marxist who want to paint a broad brush on entire organizations,
Speaker 3: so you just don't believe in them anymore. Because one
Speaker 3: guy turns out to be racist. The entire system is
Speaker 3: inherently corrupt because we have the original sin of slavery
Speaker 3: in this country, yet have overcome it with constitutional amendments
Speaker 3: and laws and prohibited and discrimination is you know we
Speaker 3: live in fairly decent racial harmony, but that it once existed,
Speaker 3: that the whole country is irredeemable and ergo must be
Speaker 3: undermined and thrown out. These are Marxist theories, folks. Anyway, Sorry,
Speaker 3: getting back to jer A question for the future is
Speaker 3: whether these same voters, especially in blue jurisdictions, will revive
Speaker 3: policies that do work. My nominee bring back broken windows theory.
Speaker 3: The left hate broken windows. The idea originated by the
Speaker 3: late criminologists George Kelling and Jason Q.
Speaker 2: Wilson.
Speaker 3: It argued that if you don't address small infractions, they
Speaker 3: will grow until, in effect, you lose the neighborhood to
Speaker 3: rampant disorder. It was pursued during the nineteen or during
Speaker 3: New York's twenty years of around the clock safety by
Speaker 3: police Commissioner Bill Bratton and Ray Kelly. Our hopes the
Speaker 3: new New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tish finds a
Speaker 3: way to move in that direction. Maybe a Cincinnati might
Speaker 3: learn a lesson or two from that. Take care of
Speaker 3: the roads in the infrastructure. Sorry, after the Penny acquittal
Speaker 3: agreement emerged that the system failed Jordan Neely. That would
Speaker 3: be the so called mental health system, which also failed
Speaker 3: a triple stabber and so many other personally incompetent homeless people.
Speaker 3: That isn't a slight against them, and it's just a
Speaker 3: simple recognition that the homeless quite often have very very
Speaker 3: very significant cognitive problems to make them think it's okay
Speaker 3: because of psychosis or some psychotic epicoda, because they got
Speaker 3: some massive drug problem, and it's all right to run
Speaker 3: around a randomly stab people personally incompetent homeless people. Starting
Speaker 3: in the nineteen seventies, the deinstitutionalization movement closed public mental
Speaker 3: health facilities on the promise of providing prescribed medications in
Speaker 3: community settings. That promise went unfulfilled. The abandonment to the
Speaker 3: streets of the mentally ill maybe America's longest running catastrophically
Speaker 3: failed public policy. It created the Penny Nearly encounter and
Speaker 3: countless other human tragedies. This is the season of hope,
Speaker 3: so there is no harm in hoping that Daniel Penny's
Speaker 3: jury verdict is the start of a big needed social correction. Well, Dan,
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think it may be perhaps
Speaker 3: one more step toward that. Given the points that you
Speaker 3: make in the article about what happened on the West
Speaker 3: Coast before this incident even occurred or during the pendency
Speaker 3: of it, I might point out, but they're screaming in
Speaker 3: Chicago at the mayor over the runaway border, open border policies.
Speaker 3: Talked about that with Senator Rand Paul. They're screaming at
Speaker 3: the mayor in New York over the open border policies
Speaker 3: and the resources that the unmitigated flow of illegal immigrants
Speaker 3: into various neighborhoods, along with the criminal behavior they bring
Speaker 3: and the money they so from local government budgets which
Speaker 3: they're all clamoring for a slice of.
Speaker 2: This trade.
Speaker 3: The Aragua gang now in I described as one of
Speaker 3: America's remote states. It has spread into multiple states. Local
Speaker 3: authorities in West Fargo, North Dakota, of all places, a
Speaker 3: city of forty thousand people, arrested a suspected suspected gang
Speaker 3: member from this trend de Aragua a gang. How in
Speaker 3: the hell did a Mexican gang member end up in
Speaker 3: West Fargo, North Dakota, I asked rhetorically, how is it up?
Speaker 3: Did they took over multiple hotel buildings. They're now in
Speaker 3: seventeen states. How did that happen? Well, look at how
Speaker 3: it happened. I think everybody knows how it happened. And
Speaker 3: you also stumbled upon one of the reasons Donald Trump
Speaker 3: got elected. Eight sixteen fifty five Karsity talks Station. Arl
Speaker 3: eight twenty two fifty five Krsite talk station. I heard
Speaker 3: Bdava snack for Jay Radlof We'll.
Speaker 2: Be out Necks. I always enjoyed that, and I hope
Speaker 2: you do as well.
Speaker 3: Podcast at five cars dot Comedy can't listen live and
Speaker 3: phone call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty undred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two to three taco with pound
Speaker 3: five fifty on eight and two phones. Remember to listen
Speaker 3: to the stream the audio at fifty five carsite dot Comye.
Speaker 3: Your ip media app too, does a really good job
Speaker 3: for the show, and I appreciate everybody who streams the audio.
Speaker 3: We were real close to maybe getting a bonus this
Speaker 3: year because of the streaming numbers, and that will be very,
Speaker 3: very very helpful for Joe Stracker. He's looking forward to
Speaker 3: get a slice of that action. Arlene, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for holding over the Brake Hi Brian.
Speaker 13: I woke up to hear part of the comments about
Speaker 13: Ohio house built seventy nine and how it will raise
Speaker 13: utility bills. I do not know a lot about that bill,
Speaker 13: but I do know there are other ways that Duke
Speaker 13: Energy is raising the cost of homeowners on their electric
Speaker 13: They have basically told everyone they have to use a
Speaker 13: smart meter, and if you don't opt out, that smart
Speaker 13: meter is raising your utility bill in several ways. First off,
Speaker 13: smart meter is not as accurate as an analog meter,
Speaker 13: and so you're not getting one for one computation of
Speaker 13: the amount of energy you're using. Secondly, you're charged in
Speaker 13: fifteen minute segments at your highest rate. For those fifteen minutes,
Speaker 13: you're charged for the entire fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Oh, I did not know that.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: That reminds me of a quarter hour billing. Back when
Speaker 3: I was practicing law as a young lawyer, if you
Speaker 3: did two minutes worth of work on a file, the
Speaker 3: client got built for a full quarter hour, and that
Speaker 3: was the arrangement that you just had. Those days are
Speaker 3: long gone for the vast majority of lawyers out there
Speaker 3: because people will not abide. But that seems unconscionable, but
Speaker 3: it seems like it would be actionable in terms of
Speaker 3: legally actionable if they're charging you wrong. In other words,
Speaker 3: if I go to the gas station and I get
Speaker 3: a gallon of gas and they only give me three
Speaker 3: quarters of a gallon, I'm being ripped off.
Speaker 2: That is theft. So to the extent that a smart
Speaker 2: meter is not accurately calculating the energy and perhaps adding
Speaker 2: on additional charges that I did not use, that sounds
Speaker 2: like a cause of action from my lawyer perspective.
Speaker 5: Lens.
Speaker 13: Yes, you had an expert speak about this sometime ago,
Speaker 13: and it's my foggy memory. I'm not one hundred percent
Speaker 13: sure of his name, but he is with Southwest Ohioans
Speaker 13: for Responsible Technology and he was on your program for
Speaker 13: a longer stagnant, So that's where I got that information.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I vaguely remember that. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Also, because the smart meters have to replace be replaced
Speaker 13: more often because it's basically a computer with computer parts
Speaker 13: that raises your bill and it can cause surges to
Speaker 13: the homeowner as well as fires. So he went on
Speaker 13: and mentioned a two more things, but that's what I
Speaker 13: remember right now. Well, in general, we all have to
Speaker 13: be more familiar with what our utility builts are being
Speaker 13: added up and how they're charging us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess simply after talking to Donald and
Speaker 3: the O for Americans for Prosperity about Houseville Sonia, and
Speaker 3: first I would encourage all my listeners to tell your
Speaker 3: elected officials and call Columbus to stick it where the
Speaker 3: sun doesn't shine. And if it does pass, you are
Speaker 3: trapped in the programmed up to five years. If you
Speaker 3: do not opt out, you are automatically enrolled in this program.
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get apparently one or two postcards mailed
Speaker 3: from the utility company allowing you to opt out, fill
Speaker 3: it out, and opt out. That well, you're not stuck
Speaker 3: with this nonsense. And the other component of the smart meters,
Speaker 3: I guess since they're quote unquote smart. I'm immediately thinking
Speaker 3: of Dave Hatter, and yes he will be on tomorrow
Speaker 3: morning for Tech Friday. I immediately think of Dave Hatter,
Speaker 3: and that seems me yet another opportunity for hackers. So
Speaker 3: I like the analog meters of old, Sadly they are
Speaker 3: going the way of the Dodo. Arleen, thank you for
Speaker 3: the call this morning. I truly appreciate it. Hey, thirty
Speaker 3: two fifty on care CD talk station Thursday is mean
Speaker 3: it's time for iHeartMedia Aviation expert Jay Ratliffe also does
Speaker 3: a really good job trading stocks during the day. You
Speaker 3: can find them online, check them out and learn more
Speaker 3: about it at daytrade fund dot com. It's Jay Ratliffe.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, my friend, and I saw your follow up
Speaker 3: email said you had an interesting Charles Schwab stories, so
Speaker 3: why not start there.
Speaker 2: Good to hear from you, my friend.
Speaker 9: Well, it's always good to be here, Brian. You know,
Speaker 9: I'm always warning people, because I've been watching the stock
Speaker 9: market since ninety two ninety three, to really be careful
Speaker 9: playing follow the leader, and I was really reminded of
Speaker 9: that this morning. Charles Schwab recently added chairs of Caros Therapeutics.
Speaker 9: They bought like thirty two thousand more shares, meaning they
Speaker 9: then had a total of two hundred and sixty thousand
Speaker 9: shares of this company, and a lot of the other
Speaker 9: institutional investors kind of followed suit because look, it's Charles Swab.
Speaker 9: If they're doing it, I should be doing it. And
Speaker 9: a lot of individual investors I'm sure followed suit well.
Speaker 9: Obviously this is an obvious set up here because this
Speaker 9: morning that stock is down seventy five percent. Oh my god,
Speaker 9: it is now. They had the news on the adverse
Speaker 9: drug news and as a result that the stock is
Speaker 9: down and I lost count on how much two hundred
Speaker 9: and sixty thousand chairs at you know, fifty bucks down
Speaker 9: a share would be. But it's a lot there. But
Speaker 9: Brian is just a reminder, and we talk about it
Speaker 9: all the time, just be very careful. So many people
Speaker 9: play follow the leader where they'll see somebody like a
Speaker 9: Charles Schwab or a Warren Buffett or somebody else do something,
Speaker 9: and instead of really guarding their portfolio and protecting it,
Speaker 9: they play follow the leader, and far too many times,
Speaker 9: instead of diversifying as they should, because it's a Charles
Speaker 9: Schwab or whoever, they will jump in and grab these
Speaker 9: shares and because look at Charles Wabb they know what
Speaker 9: they're doing. And the next thing you know, you put
Speaker 9: in most if not all, of your portfolio on a
Speaker 9: single stock and bam, you're down big. So please, I'm
Speaker 9: just urging everybody please be careful, and that's I appreciate
Speaker 9: you letting me again remind our listeners of that, because
Speaker 9: I don't care if I train them on how to
Speaker 9: trade stocks or not. I just want them to be
Speaker 9: careful when you're talking about playing follow the Leader.
Speaker 3: Oh, very important. I imagine you were not invested with
Speaker 3: it dropped.
Speaker 9: Actually know I'm up nine hundred and sixty nine dollars
Speaker 9: as we talk. I've yet to sell because you wait
Speaker 9: for those drops when you're in our group. But Brian,
Speaker 9: my heart goes out to everybody that just blindly plays
Speaker 9: follow the Leader, and it just I understand why everybody's
Speaker 9: looking for a get rich quick kind of thing. But
Speaker 9: you just gotta be careful when you when you're following
Speaker 9: the Warren Buffets and others, because just because you have
Speaker 9: a lot of money doesn't make you mean you make
Speaker 9: a lot of really good decisions.
Speaker 3: Slow and steady wins the race, and don't have every time.
Speaker 3: Don't don't hang around too long, say it daytrade fun
Speaker 3: dot com, stig around. We're gonna hear about me. Aviation
Speaker 3: issues coming up, maybe a comment or two. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: hit you with a comment or two about drones flying
Speaker 3: around us. Yeah, it's a thirty five right now. If
Speaker 3: you have care see the talk station, be.
Speaker 2: Right back before it ever see a ground man mage.
Speaker 2: You like movies about gladiators.
Speaker 3: I heart media as next Birk Jay Ratliffe always give
Speaker 3: us an opportunity to go back to the airplane and
Speaker 3: a couple of soundbites.
Speaker 9: Love that movie, Well, you need to watch it with
Speaker 9: a younger person that's maybe in their twenties, that are
Speaker 9: politically correct, and just watch their face as you go
Speaker 9: through that movie. They could say things like that, Yeah,
Speaker 9: when we used to have a sense of humor, you could.
Speaker 2: That is so true. Heyhow Jay I had to ask.
Speaker 3: I started out the program this morning because all these
Speaker 3: reports about the drones flat around New Jersey. They've been
Speaker 3: having it now for the last month or so. Big
Speaker 3: as an RV, they're a giant. There's multiple of them
Speaker 3: at the same time. They're all found the same course
Speaker 3: and path. They're flying around military bases or not. And
Speaker 3: yet nobody in an elected capacity known in an official capacity, FBI, CIA,
Speaker 3: intelligence officials, elected officials. We don't have any idea. We
Speaker 3: just know that there's no concern here. Like what somebody
Speaker 3: had to nerve something and it made fun of them,
Speaker 3: said that there was a giant Iranian like mother ship
Speaker 3: somewhere off the coast that had these things packed on board.
Speaker 3: As soon as I read them, like, oh Lord almighty,
Speaker 3: you actually said that out loud, and you know, well,
Speaker 3: I guess my short question is, why the hell hasn't
Speaker 3: someone just shot one down? They really can't figure out
Speaker 3: what they are, where they came from. Shoot one out
Speaker 3: of the sky. Let's find out.
Speaker 9: Well, I'll tell you what. If you do, you'll find
Speaker 9: out the first people that show up who belongs to right. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so I'm in total agreement. But this idea that there's
Speaker 9: nothing to see here. And then you've got the meeting
Speaker 9: that took place I think yesterday or the day before,
Speaker 9: where the Governor of New Jersey doesn't bother to show
Speaker 9: up for the briefing. There's just so many questions, which
Speaker 9: makes me think somebody knows something. But to see thirty
Speaker 9: forty fifty of these sightings where people are seeing them videotaping,
Speaker 9: I'm recording them and notifying authorities and being told, hey,
Speaker 9: we don't know what they are, but be there is
Speaker 9: no concern. I mean, how can you say one without
Speaker 9: saying the other? I mean, there's no way you can
Speaker 9: see we have no idea, who who they are, where
Speaker 9: they come from. But don't worry, there's no security threat.
Speaker 9: And of course we're all screaming. You can't say one
Speaker 9: without the other, so it just baffles your mind. It
Speaker 9: reminds me of the balloon that flew across the where
Speaker 9: people were just kind of like la la la la la. Well,
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm sorry, I have to think that a
Speaker 9: Ronald Reagan, that Donald Trump, if they were absolutely clueless
Speaker 9: on who these belonged to, this would have been a
Speaker 9: one and done type of thing and we would have
Speaker 9: found out real quick what was going on, because look,
Speaker 9: we deserve answers. And if I'm in New Jersey, you
Speaker 9: better believe I'm concerned because I want to know what
Speaker 9: the heck's going on. A size of an SUV drone
Speaker 9: flying over, Yeah, that's a concern.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 3: That is not your everyday hobbyist type of drone, especially
Speaker 3: when there are multiple of them. And I read somewhere
Speaker 3: this morning. I thought it was rather comical the story itself,
Speaker 3: but that it's illegal to shoot drones down. I guess
Speaker 3: in New Jersey I would.
Speaker 9: I don't know the law. It is in the law
Speaker 9: because you know, if somebody should look when the Amazon
Speaker 9: deliveries begin and all this stuff happens in earnest with drones,
Speaker 9: you will not be able to walk outside without hearing
Speaker 9: the annoying sound that those things flying everywhere. And you
Speaker 9: also are going to have these unmanned drones that are
Speaker 9: going to be uber taxis that seat two or four people,
Speaker 9: that lands in your driveway, You jump in and it
Speaker 9: takes you to wherever. So this is the norm and
Speaker 9: very soon will be. And when you look at the
Speaker 9: people going to the Federal Aviation Ministration asking them for answers,
Speaker 9: because look, they're the ones that are supposed to manage
Speaker 9: the airspace, control the air act know who is where
Speaker 9: and when they don't have an answer of what's going on,
Speaker 9: or at least reportedly, so that's when my concern level
Speaker 9: goes up quite a bit, because if we really don't
Speaker 9: know what's going on, what if one of these suz
Speaker 9: CV size the drones comes flying around the air commercial
Speaker 9: airport when you've got arriving and departing commercial traffic, and
Speaker 9: they might be in close proximity to a commercial play,
Speaker 9: then would we be concerned enough to do something? I
Speaker 9: would like to think so.
Speaker 3: I would like to think so too. But you know, Jay,
Speaker 3: there is a law in the books that says you
Speaker 3: can't fly a drone around an airport, and oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: it's also illegal apparently in New Jersey to fly these
Speaker 3: drones at night, and oh look what's happening. Sometimes there
Speaker 3: are laws in the books and people just choose to
Speaker 3: ignore them.
Speaker 9: Jay, Well, you know, I'm not suggesting anybody would have
Speaker 9: a beer and shoot at one just see if they
Speaker 9: get in it imaging. You know, we would never do that.
Speaker 2: No, no, I no, that would never happen.
Speaker 9: I always want you to follow the law. But inn't
Speaker 9: there also a law not to fly those bad boys
Speaker 9: near military bases?
Speaker 2: I would think so, right.
Speaker 3: And don't you think with a trillion dollar just past
Speaker 3: military budget out of the house, almost a trillion, that
Speaker 3: there might be some and in some prior defense authorization
Speaker 3: spending money or resources to create drone dropping hardware or
Speaker 3: some way of knocking them out of the sky. I
Speaker 3: gotta imagine we already have that technology. Why not utilize it?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 9: We'll just have to wait for the next Saturday Night
Speaker 9: Lives get to figure it all out together.
Speaker 3: I guess so moving over to what could be a
Speaker 3: Saturday Night Lights get ongoing Boeing. It's sixty minutes piece
Speaker 3: highlighting Boeing anything that we found out about it that
Speaker 3: they revealed that we didn't already know.
Speaker 9: Now, Brian, they have apparently been listening to us through
Speaker 9: this year, because you and I were talking about at
Speaker 9: the beginning of this year. Boeing in the last week
Speaker 9: of December sent out a memo saying, some of the
Speaker 9: nuts and bolts on the rudder control system are missing
Speaker 9: or they're undertru hardware, meaning they're loose, so you might
Speaker 9: have your mechanics keep an eye on that. And again,
Speaker 9: rudder control that's how the pilots keep the plane in
Speaker 9: the sky and have control of the airplane. That's when
Speaker 9: we knew that what's going on, because Boeing said after
Speaker 9: the Bowing Max crashes that you know they were going
Speaker 9: to be more attentive than ever. And then of course
Speaker 9: we had two weeks later the door plug blow off.
Speaker 9: That last airline slider fall off would be a better word,
Speaker 9: since it wasn't secured. And the point is that in
Speaker 9: that documentary there was not anything that was really new,
Speaker 9: but for a lot of people that had not been
Speaker 9: paying attention when they saw that sixty minutes piece on Sunday,
Speaker 9: where many of these whistles blowers had come forward saying, look,
Speaker 9: the supply chain is so slow that many times when
Speaker 9: we run out of parts, it shuts everything down. And
Speaker 9: since that is a situation for Boeing management that in
Speaker 9: the past had been unacceptable, they would send us as employees,
Speaker 9: according to the whistleblowers, to the scrap bend, to pick
Speaker 9: out the best failed part, which is marked in red
Speaker 9: with red paint. Clean off that red paint, bring it back,
Speaker 9: slap it on the airplane so that the production schedule
Speaker 9: could continue. Now this isn't one or two whistleblowers, which
Speaker 9: I'm about dozens that have come forward with these complaints
Speaker 9: saying you can't have failed parts on aircraft. We're not
Speaker 9: talking about rebuilding my computer or my Chevy Silverado, or
Speaker 9: we're talking about an aircraft that is used that in
Speaker 9: essence could be a safety issue for thousands and thousands
Speaker 9: of people. When you look at at this and briand
Speaker 9: it just amazes me that Boeing probably not so because
Speaker 9: of all the defense contracts they have, but to continue
Speaker 9: to operate like this with kind of a well we'll
Speaker 9: get better. It's gonna be okay. We got a new
Speaker 9: CEO now, so things are going to be a lot better.
Speaker 9: I mean, what a bunch of crap. I mean, they
Speaker 9: gave us those promises five years ago, and obviously they
Speaker 9: were lying then. So do I believe them now?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I do not big mill on that one. Let's pause.
Speaker 3: We'll bring Jay Ratliffe back for one more. It's a
Speaker 3: forty six IFY five krc DE talk station. Thanks, say
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas with IRT Media agage expert Jay Ratlift Dave.
Speaker 2: We've got some more things. Talk about moving away from Boeing.
Speaker 3: Let's what about Delta forcing passengers around a different seats?
Speaker 9: You and I are going to like this one. This
Speaker 9: is a Delta agent in Atlanta, and I wish I
Speaker 9: had this agent's name. I'd love to acknowledge their efforts
Speaker 9: over the airways across the country. But this particular individual,
Speaker 9: NOS supply wasn't totally full, so an announcement was made
Speaker 9: that the seat assignments were going to be reconfigured. I
Speaker 9: can tell you for people to have their favorite seat
Speaker 9: that did not go over well, but one they boarded Brian.
Speaker 9: Every person was either in a window or anile seat.
Speaker 9: Not a single person was in a middle seat. Now,
Speaker 9: originally they had people in the middle seat, but this
Speaker 9: agent redid everything so that everybody would have an empty
Speaker 9: seat next to them. So the people get on board,
Speaker 9: they see what has been done. They're amazed that, Oh
Speaker 9: my gosh, like real customer service here, somebody's looking out
Speaker 9: for us. And that story, the pictures went viral and
Speaker 9: it was just a great, great move on the part
Speaker 9: of a Delta agent who, instead of blindly was going
Speaker 9: through the motions, said hey, look I can do something here.
Speaker 9: Because normally what would happen. You and I would get
Speaker 9: on a plane and we would see, okay, I'm in
Speaker 9: the middle seat, that's the empty I'll move around, but
Speaker 9: that creates the onboard chaos. This agent took every bit
Speaker 9: of that out of the equation and did an incredible job. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I just again absolutely loved what I saw.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great news. And then they got on a
Speaker 2: bowing airplane of the door flew off.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, that's another story.
Speaker 3: The American Airlines says, doesn't shock me. I'm surprised they
Speaker 3: were still servicing Haiti. But they seize service to Haiti,
Speaker 3: probably because of gunfire. I mean, lord almighty, it's just
Speaker 3: an absolute anarchy situation in Haiti right now.
Speaker 9: Well, and the State Department has warned people from that
Speaker 9: Brian over the last you know, since the beginning of
Speaker 9: I guess last last year excuse me, last fault, where
Speaker 9: they were talking to a lot of people saying, hey, look,
Speaker 9: you know, this is a dangerous position, dangerous place. There's
Speaker 9: a situation where we have a lot of people that
Speaker 9: are and gunfires around the airport. Were being very careful
Speaker 9: and advising people to be very cautious as they're approaching
Speaker 9: anything to do with Haiti, and sadly, when you look
Speaker 9: at it, it's just amazing to me to see that
Speaker 9: we still operated flights after that point, because you had
Speaker 9: a Spirit flight that was not only shot at but struck,
Speaker 9: You actually had bullet holes in the overhead storage compartments.
Speaker 9: You had American Airlines that was targeted, Jet Blue that
Speaker 9: was targeted, and these airlines eventually said we're not going
Speaker 9: to be flying there. And then the FAA stopped in
Speaker 9: and stepped in said okay, no more flights in and
Speaker 9: out of Haiti for the time being. And kind of
Speaker 9: just amazes me when you look at just how dangerous
Speaker 9: it is to fly in there with the current situation
Speaker 9: that exists.
Speaker 2: Well, and once you get off the plane it's even
Speaker 2: more dangerous.
Speaker 9: Well, but you know, there are some people that want
Speaker 9: to get back there, and I understand why. And you know,
Speaker 9: it's to me a situation where you know, I'd be
Speaker 9: more interested in being one of the people trying to
Speaker 9: get out of there than anything else. But it's you know,
Speaker 9: but again, the airlines like to air on the side
Speaker 9: of caution. We want them to do so. So as
Speaker 9: a result, the whole idea is, hey, let's do what
Speaker 9: we can to keep our passengers and crew safe, and
Speaker 9: that's what's what they're trying to do.
Speaker 3: Well, and maybe saving lives in the process by not
Speaker 3: bringing more people into a war torn gang run situation
Speaker 3: where they might get kidding after murdered anyhow, well, that's probably.
Speaker 9: A pretty good idea as well.
Speaker 3: Just saying all right, I got some photographs along with
Speaker 3: this one. Apparently American airline planes look like old nineteen
Speaker 3: sixties vans.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 9: You know whoever in American airlines, somebody's not getting it
Speaker 9: because we're seeing more and more of these pictures go
Speaker 9: online where you have seats that are missing, lots of
Speaker 9: ducks duct tape which has obviously been there for more
Speaker 9: than a few flights, and you're and you're thinking, they're
Speaker 9: okay with this, and you know, in this era of
Speaker 9: social media, you've got anxious flyers. They look at that
Speaker 9: and they're thinking, if is this how you take care
Speaker 9: of cosmetic changes, Because if it is, I'm worried about
Speaker 9: the mechanical care, maybe the engine and takes of things.
Speaker 9: You know what I was thinking, Oh my lord, it's unbelievable, Brian,
Speaker 9: just unbelievable. So you know, as you look at things,
Speaker 9: you're hoping that somebody will will catch on here what
Speaker 9: we're talking about and do what they can to make
Speaker 9: certain improvements. And let's hope that that's the case because
Speaker 9: it really needs to be so well.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a picture of a seat that doesn't
Speaker 2: have a seat back on it.
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, the whole seat's missing in one and
Speaker 9: the guys using a leg rest. So you know, it's
Speaker 9: you look at that and you're thinking, somebody in Americans
Speaker 9: just not getting it, because to allow that to continue
Speaker 9: to be the case. What you're doing is allowing that
Speaker 9: perception to continue. And you just Americans a good airline
Speaker 9: in so many ways. They've got some incredible people that
Speaker 9: work for them. But when you allow this kind of
Speaker 9: an aircraft, and there's several of them to be out there,
Speaker 9: which you're older, they're going to be replaced. They're going
Speaker 9: to probably say Boeing would give us our airplanes, we
Speaker 9: would be you know, we would have them. But the
Speaker 9: whole point is that you just can't allow that optic
Speaker 9: to be out there because it gives the wrong impression.
Speaker 9: And if I'm an anxious flyer I see those seats,
Speaker 9: my next light's not going to be on American airlines.
Speaker 9: I can promise you that, brother.
Speaker 3: Well, and very briefly apparently has in hell impacted global
Speaker 3: airline profit because apparently we've like they passed a trillion
Speaker 3: dollars in revenue.
Speaker 9: Well, they're expecting that for twenty twenty five. That's the projection.
Speaker 9: And if you want to win a bar back, ask
Speaker 9: somebody how much you think they think airlines make on
Speaker 9: profit average per passenger internationally. The average is seven dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh my word, I guess you got to make that
Speaker 2: out in the United States, we have it up.
Speaker 9: To we have it up to like twelve dollars a passenger,
Speaker 9: but we're actually looking at twenty twenty five of having
Speaker 9: five billion people fly, and that would put us over
Speaker 9: the one trillion market revenue for the year, first time
Speaker 9: we've ever done it. So it's going to be fascinating
Speaker 9: to see if we can pull that off. But of
Speaker 9: course a lot of that means more bag fees and
Speaker 9: other types of things, blah blah blah. But the bottom
Speaker 9: line is, hey, you know, let's let's let's see where
Speaker 9: it goes. Because the thought is if aviation doubles in
Speaker 9: you know, the size doubles the next twenty years is expected.
Speaker 9: Twenty years from now, Brian, you and I are gonna
Speaker 9: look back at this as.
Speaker 3: The good old apparently, so a really quicklystance around of time.
Speaker 3: Any problems you see out there with travel today, I
Speaker 3: do not.
Speaker 9: It looks like it's be a beautiful day to fly.
Speaker 9: So if you picked the day, you picked a good one.
