Very Happy 6 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.280 Tuesday to you, Brian Thomas. Right here, Joe Strecker in 7 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.960 there e second producer, Joe Strecker. Appreciate soundbites. Joe Strecker 8 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.280 always putting a smile on my face with those, and 9 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:52.640 a smile on my face. I want to see a 10 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.280 rundown like we've got today for the program. What a 11 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.119 great lineup of guests beginning at seven to five with 12 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.280 Newahawa State rubber under Mike codyoso District thirty, which include 13 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.519 Green Township. We're going to talk to Mike about what's 14 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.319 on his agenda in Columbus the cat herding realm. He's 15 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:10.840 one of the cats needs to be hearded. Now, I 16 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.760 guess Mike's going to join the program at seven oh 17 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.159 five and we'll talk about what he plans on focusing 18 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.879 on in his role as a representative for District thirty. 19 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.200 He's a good man, also good man Jason Wims and 20 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.920 the Cincinnion Inquire sports writer formerly of Politics Extra. I 21 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.879 really enjoyed him when he did Politics Extra. He was 22 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.200 a stude observer of local politics, and while I do 23 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.040 miss him in that role, he's a great sports writer 24 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.560 as well. Today we get to merge his former role 25 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.480 as a writer on local politics with his sports role. 26 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.280 You're going to talk about the Cincinnati Bengals and the 27 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.640 counties negotiations over the stadium lease, and things are not 28 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:54.159 going swimmingly. I don't know if the Brown family plans 29 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.239 on taking the team elsewhere. I don't know if that's 30 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.799 even feasible or possible. I don't know if they plan 31 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.760 on selling them Israel Bier out in the world. Is 32 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.239 the global the efforts by the NFL to increase football 33 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.680 more globally provide the Brown family with options. We're gonna 34 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.960 have the London Bangles or something along those lines. But 35 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.960 in the final analysis, you know, I always I look 36 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.080 at these stadium things that just scratched my head. Scratch 37 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.719 my head. Is there a field to play on? Is 38 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.599 there a locker room to change in? Are there seats 39 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.319 for the fans? Beyond that? What more do you need 40 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.840 in a stadium? This keeping up of the Joneses. Reality 41 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:40.039 is obviously created problems. County doesn't have money. The Brown 42 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.919 family has an unbelievably one sided lease agreement that they 43 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.560 were able to negotiate, almost as if we had no 44 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.280 lawyers sitting on the side of the taxpayer table when 45 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.280 that thing went into place, And of course it obligates 46 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.680 taxpayers to do some stadium improvement. So Jason Williams on 47 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.840 that topic coming up at seven and it being Tuesday 48 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.560 eight o'clock hour, regularly scheduled inside Scoop with Bright Bart News. 49 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.159 Today we get the political letter Bradley Jay, we'll talk 50 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.400 about the inauguration, We'll talk about Biden's pardons, and you 51 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.520 looking at the news this morning, there's almost equal amount 52 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.280 of articles in chatter about the pardons that Joe Biden implemented, 53 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.039 partoning all of his family members from their any criminal 54 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.000 activity that might have taken place, or the executive orders 55 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:36.080 Donald Trump signed yesterday like seventy rescinding seventy plus of 56 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.159 Joe Biden's executive orders. His own executive orders. We got 57 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:44.840 the border related orders. We have also partning the Jay 58 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.439 six defendants, and I think Trump gets a freer pass 59 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.800 over partnering all the January most all the January sixth 60 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:58.639 defendants yesterday because of Joe Biden pardoning his family when 61 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.439 none of them, well some of them had, but most 62 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.520 of them hadn't been accused of any criminal activity. So 63 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.639 interesting set up on that one. But a lot of 64 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.840 people are riled up about the partning of his family members. 65 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.199 Biden's family members, including a bunch of people on the 66 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.920 left left wing media, is really no friend of Joe 67 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.079 Biden anymore or his legacy. I think they all feel 68 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.480 like they were burned by Joe Biden. So he lost 69 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.079 mainstream media obviously a couple of months ago, several months ago, 70 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.000 and they're just piling on them out over these broken norms, 71 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:41.120 pardoning his own family. Daniel Davis deep dive. It is Tuesday. 72 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.480 We get Daniel Davis every Tuesday at eight thirty. Trumps 73 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.680 in charge. Now, what we're going to talk about the 74 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.399 situation Israel, Gaza and Russia and Ukraine and what it 75 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.879 means to have a new Secretary of State, MARCYO Marco 76 00:04:53.959 --> 00:05:01.720 Ruby was confirmed by the Senate unanimously. So we've got 77 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.000 the first cabinet approval and the unanimous one. Don't expect 78 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.600 the rest of them to go this swimmingly. But he 79 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.319 had a few things. He's had a few things to 80 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.480 say about China and Gaza, and uh, of course he's 81 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.519 going to be the head and the man in charge 82 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.920 ongoing in Russian invasion of Ukraine. He's got that on 83 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.920 his plate now. The situation between Israel, Hamas and Gaza, 84 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.839 that is on his plate now. But obviously the Democrats 85 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.000 even had a positive image and view of Marco Rubio. 86 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.720 In fact, I saw some of the quotes from the 87 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.759 senators during the hearings last week, and they feel he's 88 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.800 up to the task. So congratulations to Marco Rubio. So 89 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.040 five one, three, seven nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred 90 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.680 eighty two to three talk tun Fi fifty on AT 91 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.160 and T phones and don't forget head on over to 92 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.120 fifty five carcea dot com freaking me al talking to 93 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.959 Chris Bergard, the filmmaker who made the most recent movie, 94 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.839 The War on Truth, on the heels of several other 95 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.399 movies that he had made. One movie got him in 96 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.720 trouble with the the FBI. He went under an FBI 97 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.480 investigation speaking truth to power and what he had to 98 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.439 say by way of summarizing the January sixth events and 99 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:15.759 how they unfolded and happened was frightening, and you can 100 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.759 see it for yourself a link there fifty five krc 101 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:24.720 dot com. Frightening and I think provide adequate, ample justification 102 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.120 for Donald Trump pardoning the January sixth defendants. In the 103 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:36.240 order granting or pardoning these folks captioned the caption of 104 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.079 the executive Order granting partons and the commutations the sentences 105 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.439 for certain offenses related to the events at or near 106 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.959 the United States Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one. 107 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.079 This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been 108 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.279 perpetrated upon the American people of the last four years, 109 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.160 and begins the process of national reconciliation that says, acting 110 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.160 pursuing to the grand of authority Article two, second two 111 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.399 of the Constitution United States, I do hereby a commute 112 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.040 the sentences of the following individuals convicted of offenses related 113 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.079 to the events occurred at or near the United States 114 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:12.600 Capitol January sixth, to times served, and the time served 115 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.720 ends yesterday, and yesterday he wanted them be released immediately. 116 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.920 And there's fifteen specifically named individuals. That's the first jay section. 117 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.959 That's Section A, and Section B grants a full, complete, 118 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:29.519 unconditional pardon to all others, all other rather individuals convicted 119 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.079 of offenses related to the events at near the Capitol. 120 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.319 Law January sixth, Attorney General cell administer and effectuate the 121 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.000 immediate issues of certificates of pardon to all individuals described 122 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.839 in Section B above, and shall ensure that all individuals 123 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.240 convicted of offenses related to events that occurred near the 124 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.680 United States Capitol on January sixth who are currently held 125 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.879 in prison are released immediately, specifically stating the Bureau of 126 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.639 Prison show immediately implement all instructions from the Department of 127 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.439 Justice regarding this directive. And finally, I further direct the 128 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.639 Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government 129 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:09.360 of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct, so 130 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.040 that covers I think most everybody, unless there's some old 131 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.800 lady out there that the Justice Department has yet to 132 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.560 find and indict. Don't know what would come under the blanket. 133 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.680 But of course, I bet you know Trump being in 134 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.519 office now for the next four years, if they actually 135 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:32.320 had the audacity to go out and find another January 136 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.919 sixth person roaming around in the streets around the Capitol 137 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.399 and decide to pursue criminal action against them. Trump could 138 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.600 follow up with another, well, pardon as he did with 139 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.799 the January sixth defendants, and they're pulling their hair out 140 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.679 over that one. The left is in a big way. 141 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:59.679 I find that kind of funny. Mis notably, Adam Shift 142 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.399 he got a partner the other day, and yet he 143 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.000 was complaining about the calling the j six partons obscene. 144 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.679 Talking with Jims. 145 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:19.840 Sacky over an MSNBC's Inside yesterday, she long went new 146 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.000 question but concludes with what is going through your head 147 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.360 right now? The topic of conversation the partnering of these 148 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.519 fifteen hundred or so people. Schiff said, it's obscene. It's 149 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.360 a gross, grotesque display of his new power as president 150 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.360 to pardon these fifteen or sixteen hundred people, which I 151 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.080 have to imagine includes people that committed violent assaults on 152 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.919 law enforcement. Yeah, like all those Antifah and BLM folks 153 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.039 did when they were riding in the streets. I'm sorry. 154 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.360 It certainly includes apparently one of the leaders of Proud Boys. 155 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.799 Rather fitting sadly that among his very first acts in 156 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.519 office is to give a pardon to a white nationalist 157 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.200 leader like that. So hard to imagin he went on, 158 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.519 so hard to imagine that We're sitting in the Capitol 159 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.320 the side of that attack, and hours later, the man 160 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.360 who incited that attack pardons people who participated in that attack. 161 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.720 It really is a terrible way to begin, but not 162 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:14.639 a surprising way to begin the new administration. Senator Adam, 163 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.000 I have a pardon. I am free from criminal liability. 164 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.679 Shift I'm kind of happy about getting his own pardon 165 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:30.279 the other day, I must note, but wow, you know 166 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.799 the nerve really of Biden, and I guess I have 167 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.240 to go back to the reality that maybe Biden didn't 168 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.679 even know what he was doing. The puppet masters who 169 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.080 been running Joe Biden, or manipulating Joe Biden and placing 170 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.080 orders in front of him over the last several years. 171 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:48.679 I don't know. 172 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.039 Here Joe signed. This reminds me that scene from Blazing 173 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:59.720 Saddles work work, work, work, work, work, work, work work. 174 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:05.879 What's the five fifteen couple of five to sixteen fifty 175 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.919 five curiosity talxtation? Feel free to call in and you 176 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.120 get a reaction. I did watch the entire inauguration ceremony 177 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.639 start to finish pretty impressive, And I thought it took 178 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.320 quevos a little out of the norm for the just 179 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.600 sworn in president of the United States of America to 180 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:25.639 just go full on wwe on Joe Biden and Tom 181 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.879 Harris what they were sitting over his left shoulder. 182 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.679 That I did not expect. But it is Donald. 183 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:38.879 Trump, so I suppose, well, I didn't expect it. It ultimately, 184 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.200 isn't that surprising? Stick around. I'll be right back after 185 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.639 these brief words a lesson. 186 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:46.960 Here. 187 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.360 It is your nine first warning weather forecast. Course cold 188 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.000 weather advisory is continuing. It's still uh set to all 189 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.159 the way through tomorrow morning at ten. No changes on 190 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.000 the cold weather advisory today, mostly bounce, A few flurries 191 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.000 are possible. I'll see a high at fourteen, dangerously cold again. 192 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.840 Overnight wind chills will make it feel like below minus fifteen. 193 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.440 The actual wow will be zero Tomorrow's high twenty three 194 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.080 slight temperature increase there. Cold weather advisory will end. As 195 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.919 I mentioned, It's gonna also be partly cloudy tomor the 196 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.879 mostly cloudy overnight dry those sixteen for the low in 197 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.360 early clouds clearest guys later in the day on Thursday 198 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.799 with a higher thirty three seven degrees right now for 199 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:36.080 the five KARSD caause station five twenty fifty five Karri 200 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:37.000 CD talk station. 201 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.000 Yeah, there quite a. 202 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.080 Few standing ovations yesterday during Donald Trump's speech after he 203 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.080 was sworn in and not standing at least for the 204 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:54.519 vast majority of the time. The Democrats, of course, Joe Biden, 205 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.919 Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton was there as well. 206 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.879 Barack Obama was there, Yeah, and. 207 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.600 George Bush was there. 208 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:08.519 Yeah. I thought it interesting they didn't zoom in on 209 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:13.080 those characters very much during the speech, but crowd seemed 210 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.320 really really fired of if you didn't get a chance 211 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.120 to watch it. I think there's some significant enthusiasm there, 212 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.720 although not among the Democrats. His new CNN pull out, 213 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:25.600 they're not feeling really good. CNN revealed most Democrats think 214 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.080 their party is in need of major changes and that 215 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.919 they feel pretty burned out on politics generally speaking, which 216 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.960 I can understand. The party now facing its lowest ratings 217 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:42.240 in over three decades could be for all the reasons 218 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.960 Donald Trump won the president run the election right fifty 219 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.759 majority of Democrats and Democrats leaning independence say the Democratic 220 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.759 Party needs major changes or to be completely reformed. That's 221 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.320 up from thirty four percent who said that after the 222 00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:01.360 twenty twenty two midterm elections. There Republicans and Republican leaders 223 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.759 who feel the same way about the GOP down from 224 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:06.840 thirty eight percent to twenty eight percent, So most of 225 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.120 the people in the GOP don't think the party needs reform. 226 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.000 Forty nine percent of Democratic lined adults say they expect 227 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:17.039 their representatives in Congress to be even somewhat effective at 228 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:21.799 fighting the GOP. Ninety percent of Republicans expect their reps 229 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.279 to be at least somewhat effective of passing new laws 230 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.600 that will, of course put into place Donald Trump's agenda, 231 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.120 outlined in large part by all the executive orders Donald 232 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.679 Trump's son. We're going to get to the details of 233 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:37.600 some of those and shortly. Most adults seventy percent describe 234 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.039 themselves as disappointed, sixty four percent frustrated with the nation's 235 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.399 political landscape, with nearly fifty percent describing themselves as burned 236 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:56.559 out anger. Forty percent say they're angry. I love this 237 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:02.919 one more so among Democratic aligned women, fifty two percent 238 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.200 of Democratic aligned women describe themselves as angry Joe is 239 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.200 that if you had to envision in your mind the 240 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.919 stereotypical Democrat aligned woman, what would her facial expression be 241 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.639 or how would you describe her as looking? Wouldn't you 242 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.879 think angry would pop into your mind immediately? 243 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.519 Yeah? You know, you know that. Look it's the Greta Thunberg. 244 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.960 Look. I don't think that woman has ever smiled in 245 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.639 their life. Twenty three percent of registered voters say they're 246 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.200 satisfied with the influenced voters have had on the political process, 247 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.799 down from thirty eight percent last fall. Half adults say 248 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.159 they're confident the elections reflect the will of the people. 249 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:51.000 Now reflect the will of the people, Well, it's I mean, 250 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.080 we live. It's a majority rule here. You know, you 251 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.519 only need fifty one percent to win, right, If it's 252 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.159 a dead heat, then the will of the people's reflected 253 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.480 in device did right down the middle. So I think 254 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.159 with Donald Trump handily winning the election and that amazing, 255 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.200 amazing popular vote margin, I think, how can you argue 256 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.919 it doesn't reflect the will of the people. Overall, thirty 257 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.080 three percent of Americans expressly favorable view of that Democrat party, 258 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.840 described as an all time low in CNN's pulling going 259 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.960 all the way back to nineteen ninety two, Republicans have 260 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.480 a thirty six percent favorable rating. If you go back 261 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.679 to January twenty twenty one, the Democrats rating was forty 262 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.639 nine percent and the Republican was thirty two. So up 263 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:42.080 to the Republicans precipitously down for the Democrats forty three 264 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:43.960 percent of GOP of line adults and I'll say they 265 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.879 feel more a part of the Republican party versus less 266 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:50.120 a part of it, while thirty two percent of Democrats 267 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.360 say the things that say the same thing about their party. 268 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:59.399 So interesting. And in terms of protesters, they didn't show 269 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.840 out in large measure yesterday, unlike the first time Donald 270 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.480 Trump got sworn in. Anti Trump protesters described as having 271 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:12.000 a week showing. Yesterday, about three hundred attended demonstration in Washington. 272 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.039 H I love this in spite of the overwhelming numbers, 273 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:25.079 three hundred or so. One speaker speaking to the throngs, 274 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.160 there are more of us than there are of them. 275 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.240 We outnumber them one hundred to one. We outnumber them 276 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.480 one thousand to one. There's those three letters WTF question 277 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:44.279 mark organized by the Party for Socialism and liberation, coupled 278 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:51.000 with some anti Israeli groups. Organizers estimated that this year's 279 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.599 Women's March, rebranded as the People's March, would draw fifty 280 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:58.720 thousand protesters, and reportedly a lot fewer than that showed up. 281 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:04.200 First Women's March attracted more than a million people. Several 282 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.960 protesters described as wearing red caps looking like Maga hats, 283 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:13.240 but with the words make made you look alua akwar. Okay, 284 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.039 here's another WTF question mark next to quote. After all 285 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.799 the harm the US imperialists have caused in our countries, 286 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.920 migrants not only deserve the right to come and stay here, 287 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:33.359 but also to demand reparations for all they've damaged. What 288 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:35.880 reparations for illegal immigrants? Now? 289 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:37.240 Whatever? 290 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:44.440 Five twenty six, answering the question about the CNN poll 291 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:49.400 describing most Democrats thinking their party needs major changes. That's 292 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.799 the kind of crowd that it draws. Local stories coming up. 293 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.480 I prefer talking to you if you want to call 294 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:58.359 in five, one, three, seven and two three talk. But 295 00:18:58.440 --> 00:18:59.960 we can do local stories. We've got to stack us. 296 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.440 You've been coming up as well.

French left 299 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.480 wing protesters. They're in better shape somehow over there than 300 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.599 they are here working out the truth.

Donald 329 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.359 Trump and Donald Trump. I would have liked it for 330 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.680 him to say after he was sworn in, all right, 331 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:43.200 now move out of the way and give me a 332 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:47.359 pen and head on out of the back room. Viva 333 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:52.039 Ramaswamy stepping out down from the Department of Government Efficiency, 334 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.039 which one of the executive orders dealt with yesterday, and 335 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.240 we'll be announcing is a run for governor of the 336 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.400 state of Ohio, according the sources familiar with Vivake Gramma 337 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.759 Swimmy's plans, and he's expected to make a formal announcement 338 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:07.319 early next week, so no longer any speculation about his 339 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:13.319 political ambitions. Obviously, John Houston has been appointed to Vva 340 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:17.559 Gramma Swimmy's seat, and he was widely expected he was 341 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.559 going to do this, of course. He's a Cincinnati native 342 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.720 born to Indian immigrants, graduated from Saint Xavier High School, 343 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.079 earned a degree in biology from Harvard and a jd 344 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.319 from Yale Law School. Biotech entrepreneur he is worked for 345 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.240 a hedge fund before starting bitcoin bitcoin company Roy Event 346 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.839 Sciences also wrote books titled Woke Inc.

So I think he's an outstanding man 349 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.240 and a great candidate. So fingers crossed for VVA Gramma 350 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:54.519 swimming before I get to Pete's phone call real quick here. 351 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:57.559 Williams Police are looking for answers regarding to an incident 352 00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:59.680 between a man and a child.

They may not mean 371 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:12.359 anything there is that is correct, Nick. So you think 372 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:14.599 that you think they'll test it, or you think they'll 373 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:15.519 just let it all go. 374 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.880 Well, that remains to be seen. I know I've read 375 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:21.119 an op ed from the Wall Street Journal and they 376 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:25.400 suggested this might be a gift. They concluded this op 377 00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.640 ed piece. He may have also he Biden may have 378 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:30.920 done Donald Trump in ironic favor if Trump is wise 379 00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:34.599 enough to recognize it. With fewer political opponents to target, 380 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.799 Trump may be less likely to make the mistake of 381 00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.319 pursuing revenge. There's that element to it. But on the 382 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.000 flip side to your point is has it ever been tested? 383 00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.119 Alan Drschwitz was talking about the other this the other day. 384 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.440 The pardon power is barred from England. It's not clear 385 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.000 whether in England you could preemptively pardon somebody who's not 386 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.319 being investigated, but there is a president. Of course, it 387 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.720 was never tested, and that is President Ford did preemptively 388 00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.839 pardon President Nixon, who wasn't being charged with anything, though 389 00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.680 it was being investigated by special counsel. He could have 390 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:09.200 been charged. So he concludes, I think the laws pretty 391 00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:13.680 clear that a president can preemptively pardon. Should he have 392 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.720 done it, question mark, it's his prerogative. I don't think 393 00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:20.240 that's accurate. I think the law has not been established. 394 00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:23.160 No one has ever tested it, No one ever said, hey, 395 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.839 I don't think that that preemptive pardon is even constitutional 396 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.119 and challenged it. I don't know who'd have standing to 397 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.400 make that argument. Maybe a prosecutor wanting to go ahead 398 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.759 and pursue charges against one of these so called pardon 399 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.359 family members, for example, like Joe's brother or something, and 400 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.519 then they would wave their pardon around and maybe that 401 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.599 would provide a vehicle to go to court and say, 402 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.799 have someone analyze it from a constitutional perspective. But as 403 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.440 of right now, I'd say it's an open question just 404 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.759 because for pardon Nixon, again, it never went to court. 405 00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:01.200 It was never subjected to constitutional announ by any court. 406 00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.039 So keep your popcorn out. One thing is for certain, though, 407 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:10.160 the investigations will continue. I've seen quite a few references 408 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.839 and comments on that from various political figures that they 409 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.160 can go ahead and continue to look into all this 410 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.359 you know, money making and behind the scenes favor granting 411 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.079 and all the money that flowed in from various foreign 412 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.640 governments to the Biden family. They can look into that, 413 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.240 they can get definitive answers on that bring it to 414 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.160 our attention, And of course it will require the assistance 415 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:36.440 of the pardoned because they no longer have the right 416 00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.400 to assert their Fifth Amendment right to be against self incrimination. 417 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.079 Since they're pardoned, they don't face any criminal jeopardy or 418 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.319 liability responsibility. So you can't hide behind the Fifth Amendment. 419 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:50.839 You're going to have to answer the questions or be 420 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:55.480 subject to right what would it be. 421 00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.960 Center sanctions? Contempt? 422 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.160 Perhaps you know there are there are obligations you have 423 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:10.599 when you're in front and sworn in and testifying under oath. 424 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.559 So if you lie under oath, you can't asserit your 425 00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:15.160 Fifth Amendment. You got to answer the questions accurately, or 426 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.440 you can be charged with the crime of lying to 427 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:21.319 well FBI agents or Congress, et cetera. So those possibilities there. 428 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.480 Nick in New Hampshire, Gary on the phone. Hang on, guys, 429 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.640 five thirty six.

Gary's been on longer, Nick, hang on to 454 00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:48.359 get you next. Welcome back New Hampshire. Gary. 455 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:54.279 Hey, it's a wonderful day. Well, we'll see if everything 456 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:59.680 comes true that Trump wants. It was a little bit 457 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.960 of there was well, there was a little bit of 458 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:08.319 a pushback last night with releasing some of the people 459 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.720 who were immediately released at the prison. I saw that 460 00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:16.680 Antifa had shown up and in front of the prison 461 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.880 along with some of the prison guards, and they only 462 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:24.279 released two of the people who were released immediately, and 463 00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.519 they said that's all we're doing tonight. And there was 464 00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:30.359 you know, the people out in front that they're like, 465 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.559 scrit We're going to call the US marshals, and you know, 466 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.039 there was a big tape. He said that's all we're 467 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:39.920 going to do. And he said tomorrow's another day, but 468 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:41.400 that's all we're doing tonight. 469 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.119 Well, you know, if anybody, any of those people who 470 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.799 are not released had a lawyer on hand, they get 471 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.119 immediate rid of habeas corpus and get them out of 472 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:50.920 prison because they aren't supposed to be there anymore, given 473 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.039 the definitive nature of Donald Trump's order ordering the release. 474 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:56.880 And is it sort of is it ironic the right 475 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:02.880 word Antifa, the Kings and Queens of riots and protests 476 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.839 are protest in the January sixth rioters. I mean, it 477 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.000 seems kind of contradictory. I guess it was. 478 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.880 It was truly, it was truly a bizarre scene. 479 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:17.519 Yeah, like you know, I'm like, what. 480 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:19.559 Exactly? 481 00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:24.640 So it was just interesting. I saw that and I 482 00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:29.400 was like, I'm sure they will comply. Oh, they're like, 483 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.599 you know, maybe release immediately. It is like buying a gun. 484 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.680 In some states, they give you seven working days. It's 485 00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.119 smart and Luther King days. So it's actually eight days 486 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.039 or could be ten days, you. 487 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:46.839 Know, yeah, paperwork, paperwork, that kind of thing. Yeah, I 488 00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:48.559 don't know, Yeah, I don't know the realities of that. 489 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:51.559 But the order does say immediate release, so I don't 490 00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:55.519 know how you can get around that, but I'm certain 491 00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:57.680 that they will be released. I have no doubt in 492 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.799 my mind, because again it's it's it's to just cut 493 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.519 and dried, and any lawyer could easily run into court 494 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.920 and get a mandate from a judge, some sort of 495 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.319 affirmative injunctive relief to get him out of prison. Brit 496 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:13.119 A Habeas Corpus again comes immediately to mind. Good to 497 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.440 hear from New Hampshire. Gary Nick, Welcome to the show 498 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.519 and a happy Tuesday to you. 499 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:22.720 Good morning, Brian Counselor. I have two questions for you. 500 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.920 Both are not exactly corporate law. They're going to rely on. 501 00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:32.279 Your continuing education credits. 502 00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.359 Okay, good luck with that one. 503 00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:38.279 It's been a long time since I practiced law, although 504 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.640 I do keep my degree, and it didn't really practice 505 00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.160 corporate law. It was a litigation attorney, which is like 506 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.000 jack of all trades, master of none. The only master 507 00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:48.079 you are when your a litigation attorney is a master 508 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:50.599 of the rules of civil procedure, which is just the 509 00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:52.640 ins and outs of how you file cases in motion 510 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.799 practice and trial and practice and things like that. But 511 00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.440 the subject matter varied widely over my career, so I 512 00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.200 don't consider myself an expert in any particular area of law. 513 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:09.319 And how strong you can squeeze the correct wallet. Yeah, 514 00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:12.559 the other person I'm getting on seriously is Tom Common 515 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:17.319 and then nor of home Man. Then is the arrest first? 516 00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:23.039 If f Tad says that we're a sanctuary city, does 517 00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.279 does that mean he arrests him? Does it mean that 518 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.960 the city manager gets arrested because. 519 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:29.720 He's telling the cops not to turn around and do 520 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.440 what they're told by the SAIDs Or does the sheriff 521 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.920 turn around and arrest either one of them? Because the 522 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:38.559 sheriff is unique in the county. 523 00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.279 Oh, you asked an interesting question. Until they have haven't 524 00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:46.440 a sorry, until they up until the moment in time 525 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:51.200 when they actually commit an act that interrupts ICE's operations. 526 00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:56.799 It's only a hypothetical question because there's no actionable conduct yet. 527 00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:59.039 So if ICE comes to town and we'll have to 528 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:04.480 have somebody and responsible, that's the part that I can't 529 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:05.000 figure out. 530 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.720 Legally, I would think it would ever act or whatever 531 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:11.240 law enforcement officer stands in the way of or commits 532 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:15.440 something that would could be characterized as a violation of 533 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.799 the law. It will be that individual, and then that 534 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:21.359 individual maybe we've turned to his boss and say, well, 535 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.079 I was ordered to do that by this particular figure, 536 00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:27.160 and whoever that be, the mayor or the sheriff or 537 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.799 the chief of police, maybe they could be held accountable. 538 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.440 It poses an interesting question for a theoretical question, but 539 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.680 I really don't definitively know the answer. I mean, it 540 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.920 seems to me more likely that the Trump administration would 541 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.680 threaten the city with some sort of sanctions, you know, 542 00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:47.000 refuse to provide, you know, some some form of financial 543 00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:52.359 infusion of cash which they rely on for whatever infrastructure project, 544 00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:54.880 that kind of thing. If something will come back to 545 00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.119 haunt them, and whether or not they're legally responsible or 546 00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:03.240 be held criminally responsible, they certainly will fill the brunt 547 00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.839 of their decision in not helping out Ice with its 548 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.599 deportation efforts. So I can't get more definitive than that. 549 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.079 I really just honestly don't know directly. Just got to 550 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:14.680 speculate on that one. We'll watch it unfold together because 551 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:18.160 it's coming as early as today by forty six thirty 552 00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:19.960 five cares for detoxation. Charli, if you don't want to 553 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.160 hanging on, I will get your call right after we return. 554 00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:26.440 Fifty five KRC.

Charlie, 577 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.920 thanks for holding over the brake. Welcome to the program. 578 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.480 Yeah, good morning, Brian, Happy Tuesday to you. 579 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:42.960 Uh. 580 00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:49.719 Two questions concerning pardoning. First question, doesn't the premptive pardning 581 00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:55.239 by Biden of his family members and the January sixth 582 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.960 committee imply some level of guilt? That's the first question. 583 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.360 Well, yeah, it's your subjective opinion. It doesn't mean they're guilty. 584 00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.159 But we can all draw our own conclusions based upon 585 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.039 the evidence that we are already aware of and the 586 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:14.639 fact that the Trump administration still has or actually the 587 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:18.280 now Trump administration has inherited some investigations that are ongoing 588 00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:21.360 in which I think will continue. So but yeah, I mean, 589 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.679 it's your right to draw your own conclusions about their 590 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.280 innocence or guilt. But it leaves it open to speculation. 591 00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:33.679 Okay, And his second question is if a criminal that 592 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:39.880 Biden pardons goes out and murders somebody and commits other crimes, 593 00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:43.519 is he perpetually immuneifum. 594 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:44.239 No, no, no, no, no, no, no no. 595 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.000 The pardon only applies to acts up to the moment 596 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:48.719 the signatures on the page. If they go out and 597 00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:52.760 commit further criminal acts, that's beyond the timeframe of the pardon, 598 00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:55.679 So they would be subjected to criminal reliability for anything 599 00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:58.800 they do on a going forward basis. So yeah, pardon 600 00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.519 only goes so far. So if they if they're involved 601 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.079 in let's say shady or illegal financial deals, then they 602 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.960 have been and that that would be subject to the pardon. 603 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.440 But if they continue them on a going forward basis, 604 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:15.599 those would be new crimes post pardon. Ongoing criminal activity 605 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.239 would be new criminal activity. So only a finite amount 606 00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:21.679 of time these pardons cover. So if they're gonna go 607 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.519 out and commit crimes, then they get caught and they're 608 00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:26.960 going to be held accountable. All right. Over to the 609 00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.320 stack is stupid. Here's one from yesterday. I didn't get 610 00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:30.719 to this one, Joe, and I thought i'd put it 611 00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:33.800 on the stack, a man now dead after using what 612 00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:37.960 they describe as a strong glue to in the reporting's words, 613 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:41.400 seal his penis because he didn't have a condom. Why 614 00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:44.000 are you doing that? Let's find out together me Salmon 615 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.440 mers Us, twenty five years old, reunited with his ex 616 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:49.400 fiance for a drug fueled romp at a hotel in 617 00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:53.519 India when he decided to smear epoxy adhesive on his 618 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:57.159 genitals to avoid getting or pregnant. What unamed police source 619 00:36:57.159 --> 00:36:59.440 said the pair were a drug addicts known to mix 620 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:05.559 white her and epoxy together for inhalent kick. That's the 621 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:07.440 words that used in the report a courding The Times 622 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.559 of India, several witnesses said Mizra Mirza, along with his 623 00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:12.599 former fiance, both of them were addicted to drugs, had 624 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.639 gone to a hotel in Japara. Since they did not 625 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.800 have any protection, they decided to apply the adhesive to 626 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.280 his private parts to ensure that she did not get pregnant. 627 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.599 Friend of mister Mirza found him unconscious in the shrubs 628 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.079 the day after he checked into the hotel, taking to 629 00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.840 the Soula Civil Hospital.

His family 631 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.960 reportedly claimed his ex fiancee was the one who applied 632 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.039 the adhesive and we're calling for an inquiry into his death. 633 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:48.519 Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. 634 00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:49.199 You know. 635 00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.760 I just wonder if someone's going to demand their awarding 636 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:56.239 label on that on a going forward basis, do not 637 00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.400 apply to your genitals in substitution for. 638 00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.280 God, who can argue with that. 639 00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.000 Let's see here a Brazilian inmate whose masked attempt to 640 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:10.719 break out of jail dressed as his daughter found dead 641 00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:13.599 in his cell after apparently having hanged himself.

Reo prison officials 649 00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:44.480 said Silva had been found dead in his cell in 650 00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.440 a high security unit in the state's Bengoo Prison convex. 651 00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:49.960 Quote the inmate appeared to have hanged himself with a 652 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.000 bed sheet was quote according to real prison authority in 653 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:58.400 a statement. Or maybe they pulled an Epstein on him. 654 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.400 We got a drug counselor at a New York state 655 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.559 rehab facility selling crack cocaine on multiple occasions to undercover 656 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.760 police agents, according to the police who arrested him.

Yes, let me get one more in here, 668 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.000 claiming he was intimidated by a pro Trump political sign 669 00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:58.599 in flagged and flag attached to his next door neighbors fence. 670 00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:01.119 A Florida man toward the Adams down and threw them 671 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:05.920 into adjacent lake. Police accuse Lee Jonathan Farber fifty five, 672 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:09.039 of forcibly ripping the sign and flag from a wooden fence. 673 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.400 He reportedly did not like the pro Trump political signs 674 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:14.440 and had been screwed to the sixty seven year old 675 00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:18.159 Leon Pierce's white picket fence.

Things not apparently going swimmingly. 711 00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:05.519 Jason Williams at seven thirty two hours from now the 712 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:08.559 Insightscoop with Bright Barton News political letitor Bradley Jay joins 713 00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:12.400 a program to talk about the inauguration and Biden's pardons 714 00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.920 and Daniel Davis deep dive now that Trump is in charge, 715 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:19.599 what happens in between Israel and Gaza and the Russia 716 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.920 and Ukraine situation. So I know Donald Trump's really wants 717 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:24.840 to get that resolved. It's going to require some major 718 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:27.599 concessions from Ukraine, I do believe. And we have asked 719 00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:30.440 the expert Odor Exit celebrating twenty five years in business. 720 00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:32.800 So that will wrap up the show as far as guests, 721 00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:36.239 and again five three seven, four nine fifty two three 722 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.039 talk before we get to some of the executive orders 723 00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.559 from Trump yesterday.

Adam Schiff notable. Does that 726 00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:54.039 mean that they committed crimes? Well, you're free to draw 727 00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:57.039 your own conclusions, it doesn't mean that preemptive pardons. It's 728 00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.599 for anything, any crimes they committed or may have committed, 729 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:03.400 but also if they didn't commit any crimes. It really 730 00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:06.599 is just a matter of saying, there's, well, there's not 731 00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.159 going to be any jail time if someone uncovers a 732 00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:12.440 crime for this period of time. But what conclusions can 733 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:16.360 you draw from it? Well, if you asked Adam Shift, 734 00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:20.400 who was specifically asked this while by MSNBC's Joy Reid 735 00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.719 in twenty twenty, who said, have you ever heard of 736 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:26.280 somebody getting a preemptive parton who was innocent of all crime? 737 00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:29.400 Who's just an innocent person? You ever heard of that? 738 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.400 Just somebody getting blank and pardon and they're an innocent person? 739 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.760 Adam Shift quote, No, it's the president's own family. It's 740 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.119 people that have been covering up for the president in 741 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:41.599 addition to his own family. 742 00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:42.599 Hmmm. 743 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:50.000 When asked by Wolf Blitzer Layer in the program, if 744 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.119 the pardons, accepting the partons would be viewed as an 745 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:54.559 admission of guilt. Oh, and parenthetically, you don't have the 746 00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:58.199 right to turn down a pardon. I've read one legal 747 00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.480 scholar who said it's the president's I'm going have to 748 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:01.199 pardon someone. 749 00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:01.920 It's done. 750 00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:05.039 Once the pen has hit the paper and the signatures there, 751 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:07.760 you don't have any say in the matter. You can 752 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.199 say I don't want it, I rejected, but that won't 753 00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:13.840 have any impact because well, you've been pardoned. But anyway, 754 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.519 will Fulitzer, if accepting the pardons would be viewed as 755 00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:19.639 an admission of guilt. Jack back to Adam Shift, quote, 756 00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.559 I certainly would view it that way. I think millions 757 00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:26.239 of Americans woud view it that way. If there was 758 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:28.719 no belief in criminality, why would you Why would he 759 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.039 think a pardon was necessary? Okay, so you can put 760 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:35.880 Adam Shift in the probably guilty of a crime category 761 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:40.480 since he too got a pardon. Andrew Weisman, former federal prosecutor, 762 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:42.559 said it's pretty much the same thing. Talking with Brian 763 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:46.440 Williams over an MSNBC, Is there an innocent explanation for 764 00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:48.920 someone to seek a preemptive pardon for his family members? 765 00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:50.840 Why would you do that if you knew you were 766 00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:55.199 innocent and just worried about outside forces? Quote. The answer 767 00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:57.400 is the answer to that is going to be no. 768 00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:00.599 If you haven't done anything wrong, you sit there and go, wow, 769 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:05.320 what do you need a preemptive pardon for fast forward? 770 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:05.719 Today? 771 00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:08.320 Ask godham Shift the same question. I'm sure he would say, 772 00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:13.639 that doesn't mean anything. I didn't do anything wrong and 773 00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:19.519 I can't do anything about it. Did Joe Biden? Oh, yeah, 774 00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:21.679 you gotta get swifty. 775 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.920 You got to get shwifty in here. It's time to 776 00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.199 get shwifted. Can you play the unedited version of that, Joe? 777 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:35.159 No, maybe in the five o'clock hours someday. Taking me 778 00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:39.079 back on that one, my friend. So again, it depends 779 00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.880 on what moment in time when you're asking that question, 780 00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:47.199 what conclusions you can draw. Trump's immigration plans include ending 781 00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:49.599 birthright citizenship. These are some of the executive orders went 782 00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:51.840 through yesterday, declaring a national emergency of the southern border, 783 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:56.760 ending asylum by speeding up deportations, and the app that 784 00:45:56.920 --> 00:46:01.440 was previously used up until yesterday to well enter the 785 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:08.840 country without crossing the border, it's been shut down CBP, 786 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:11.599 one app that allowed nearly one million people to enter 787 00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:16.960 our country so called legally with eligibility to work by 788 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:19.400 applying from your home country without having to make the 789 00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:23.639 perilous journey through Mexico into the United States. Across the 790 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:27.840 border illegally that app was shut down. Notice on the 791 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:32.440 website the Customs and Border Protection said the app is 792 00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:38.280 no longer available, can't schedule appointments anymore, and also that 793 00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:42.519 existing appointments have been canceled. Of course, the ACLU has 794 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:44.519 already filed a lawsuit relating to that, and as one 795 00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:49.119 would expect them to do, he I gave this Defense 796 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:51.039 secretary ten days to provide a plan for the US 797 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.079 troops to help seal the border. Trump rescinded seventy eight 798 00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:58.559 Biden era executive actions and signed other orders as thousands 799 00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.039 of supporters cheered on in the room. I thing it 800 00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:03.800 was interesting he did it in public. Of course, some 801 00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:06.760 will be facing legal challenges. As I mentioned, immigration rights 802 00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:10.559 group including thea ACOU sued the Trump administration at right 803 00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:13.119 after he signed the order. They had a complaint prepared 804 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:18.239 and ready to go. I remembered doing. That's kind of 805 00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:21.119 a common practice because when I was practicing litigation in Chicago, 806 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:25.159 we were trying to negotiate a resolution and the venue 807 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:27.920 of the lawsuit was going to be critically important. So 808 00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.639 it's first to file. So whoever gets into court first 809 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:34.159 and files a complaint first, that can often well determine 810 00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.039 the venue of the action. So we had a complaint 811 00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:40.719 in hand fully drafted, ready to go, and the moment 812 00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:43.039 we saw that the negotiations were going to go know where, 813 00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:45.639 a phone call was made and one of the clerks 814 00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:48.360 was there at the courthouse and filed the complaint immediately. 815 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:50.480 So we outgunned them on that one. They were so 816 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.679 angry about that anyway. Trump also revived the policy to 817 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:57.760 Remain in Mexico, policy that requires migrants seeking asylum of 818 00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:00.440 the Southern Boarder to stay in northern Mexico borders cities. 819 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:03.039 Apparently Mexico's that you're going to need to agree to 820 00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:05.079 take the migrants. Although if you don't let them in 821 00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:06.960 our country, they're on the other side of the border. 822 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.320 Aren't they already in Mexico ergo If we don't let 823 00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:13.199 them in, aren't they stuck there? Mexico gets to decide 824 00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.159 what they want to do with them. Maybe deport them 825 00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:17.079 to their country of origin. I don't know, but that's 826 00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:21.199 Mexico's problem. He called for resuming construction of the border wall, 827 00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:25.199 designated cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and stopped the refugee 828 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:32.679 resettlements for four months. Apparently legal pathways the Biden administration 829 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:35.480 created for migrants who would otherwise have crossed the illegally ended. 830 00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:39.760 That'd be the CDP app I just mentioned. Trump signed 831 00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:42.440 an order to withdraw from the Paris Climbing Accord. Also 832 00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.400 pulled us out of the World Health Organization. Trump a 833 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.159 little angry that we were paying five hundred million dollars 834 00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:50.360 annually to the World Health Organization in a country of 835 00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:53.159 three hundred and twenty five million people, when the Chinese 836 00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:55.920 were with one point four billion people were only paying 837 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.639 in thirty nine million dollars a year or something to 838 00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:02.039 that effect. Opsided it was, so we're out of that. 839 00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:06.519 He instructed the Attorney General not to enforce a US 840 00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:10.000 ban on social media app TikTok. That ban, that reprieve 841 00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:13.639 is seventy five days long, so we'll see if someone 842 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.519 is interested in purchasing it. I still say he didn't 843 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:18.880 have the right to do that because according to all 844 00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:21.719 the reporting on it, there is no waiting in the 845 00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:25.039 wings trying to get the details sewed up between a 846 00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:30.440 purchaser and the current owner of TikTok, which ultimately is 847 00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:35.360 the Chinese Communist Party. He signed orders and various memorandum 848 00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:39.480 to cut regulations around energy production and hopefully to reduce inflation, 849 00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:44.639 eliminating former President Joe Biden's climate regulations regarding electric vehicle productions, 850 00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:48.599 those pesky cafe standards. You heard him yesterday if you're 851 00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:51.920 watching the speech after he was sworn in this and 852 00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:53.440 he's all about choice. If you want to buy an 853 00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:55.880 internal combustion engine, knock yourself out. We are not going 854 00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:00.239 to force electric vehicles on you, which is a good thing. 855 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:04.960 Trump directed federal agencies to evaluate trade policies and economic 856 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:08.760 relationship with China and North American neighbors, directing federal agencies 857 00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:14.000 to alleviate persistent US trade deferences and confront what he 858 00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.559 calls an unfair trade and currency policies by other nations. 859 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:19.559 He's focused on China, Canada, Mexico, directing those agencies to 860 00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:23.159 assess compliance with US Mexican Canadian Agreement and the twenty 861 00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:28.239 twenty trade deal with China. So compliance. I'm not sure 862 00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:31.199 about tariffs, no mention, and he did not sign any 863 00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:35.400 laws into or executive orders regarding tariffs. In an order 864 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:40.079 ending DEI diversity equity inclusion programs, Trump ordered the Office 865 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:43.440 of Management and Budget and Office Personnel Management to help 866 00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:47.400 agencies eliminate any programs that hire or promote people based 867 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:52.440 upon characteristics like race or disability status. In his address, 868 00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:55.800 Trump said specifically, we will forge a society that is 869 00:50:55.880 --> 00:51:02.719 colorbind and merit based content of character, not color of Another. 870 00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.440 Order ended federal recognition of people's expressed gender ID identity, 871 00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:14.480 recognizing biological sex as defined by well, their reproductive's organs, 872 00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:18.400 and their I suppose chromosomal reality at birth. That would 873 00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:22.039 require government issue documents like passports and visas to identify 874 00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:25.119 sex rather than expressed gender. You will also direct agencies 875 00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:28.559 to ensure places, including prisons and migrant shelters, separate people 876 00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:33.880 by biological express sex, not express gender. Trump alsos signed 877 00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:38.639 orders establishing temporary regulatory and hiring freeze except in essential areas, 878 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:41.320 and requiring federal employees to return to work in person. 879 00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:43.239 How about that you got to actually show up now 880 00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:47.639 from now on. Those Among the various executive orders, there 881 00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:51.239 are a slew of them. Got a whole list of them. 882 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.079 You can easily find that online. But those are just 883 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:57.840 the kind of the summaries of what was done yesterday. 884 00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.920 Hit the ground running and delivering on what he promised. 885 00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:04.480 That does not mean that we should have an imperial president. 886 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.159 From my standpoint, I find the use of executive orders 887 00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:10.599 to be a little bit troubling. One they don't last. 888 00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:13.119 Next administration comes in, they can often unring the bell, 889 00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:15.639 as we noted, because it's going on literally right before 890 00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:20.320 our very eyes. Also, the pardons pardon versually all of 891 00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:24.679 virtually all the JA six defendants. So after talking yesterday, 892 00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:27.000 and I strongly encourage you to get over the podcast 893 00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.519 page fifty five Caresee dot com and listen to what 894 00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:33.639 Chris Bergard had to say about his new documentary, The 895 00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:36.719 War on Truth, all about the Jay six and the 896 00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:40.760 government's involvement in egging people on and sort of coordinating 897 00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:46.760 and in his words, summarizing them. Of course, he says, 898 00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:49.800 and the film demonstrates that the government was hoping that 899 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:53.079 there would be at least one hundred dead Americans and 900 00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:56.320 blood in the hallways of the Capitol, so they could 901 00:52:56.440 --> 00:52:59.719 use that as an illustration of this attempted overthrow of 902 00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:04.840 the guy government, make it look like bloody carnage. And 903 00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:06.800 it was but for the actions of one law enforcement 904 00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:10.840 officer that may very well have happened. But with that 905 00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:12.880 in the background and sort of just taking him at 906 00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:16.960 his word on that the way the left, the Democrats 907 00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:20.159 harped on that, Oh my god, they tried to end democracy. 908 00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:22.039 Oh my god, they tried to take over the government. 909 00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:22.559 Oh my man. 910 00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:27.199 You know now, I'm still going with drunken fraternity party 911 00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:32.000 that got out of hand. If all the dead were 912 00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:35.360 actually in the hallways, their argument would sound at least 913 00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:37.800 a little more plausible.

And this 1096 01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:39.719 is where I want to give you kudos, Brian Thomas, 1097 01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:42.920 because you are the roof Lions of twenty twenty five 1098 01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:46.639 and that, like her, you will not endorse a product 1099 01:02:46.639 --> 01:02:49.760 that you haven't either tried yourself or feel very proud 1100 01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:51.159 of putting your name on it. 1101 01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:53.000 That is an absolute true company. 1102 01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:56.159 And that technician yesterday, right off the bat, even with 1103 01:02:56.320 --> 01:02:59.840 my fireplace totally disassembled, said you know, mister Wilbur, if 1104 01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:01.559 you I could put this all back together and we 1105 01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:04.480 could just call it today. And I said no, I said, Jane, 1106 01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.719 it's been eighteen years. I think that needs some servicing 1107 01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:09.599 as well, you know. And that's where I can't thank 1108 01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:12.679 you enough, because in the service industry, you can't believe 1109 01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.239 those online reviews, and a lot of times if you 1110 01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:17.679 know a friend, a coworker, or somewhere from church, oh yeah, 1111 01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:20.159 you need a deck done. Here go this person, right, 1112 01:03:20.360 --> 01:03:22.360 I can vouch it, and I have no doubt that 1113 01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:25.840 every person that you put your name against will have 1114 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:27.440 an experience like I had yesterday. 1115 01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:29.920 Well, I'm so happy that you, you know, did support 1116 01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:32.519 the sponsor and that your experience was a good one. 1117 01:03:32.519 --> 01:03:35.639 But you're accurate. I have to have a tremendously high 1118 01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:37.880 level of confidence if I'm going to put my name 1119 01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:41.000 attached to something. Because I am recommending people in my 1120 01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:43.800 listening audience. I consider friends even if I haven't met you, 1121 01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:45.559 and shake your hand if you're listening to the program, 1122 01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:48.280 I consider you a dear friend of mine, and I listen. 1123 01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:50.360 You got to pass the would you refer them to 1124 01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:54.159 my mom test? That's a high bar right there. And 1125 01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.719 of course, sir, they have been to my mom's the 1126 01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:59.639 Jimney Care fireplace and stuff. Sadly, she got bad news. 1127 01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:03.480 They're the unit that she has in has some problems 1128 01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:06.079 and they cannot be solved at all. They should never 1129 01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:08.880 should have had that unit installed in her condo in 1130 01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:10.880 the first place. But you know, you take the news 1131 01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:14.239 as you get it. But yeah, I do truly appreciate 1132 01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:17.159 your You're relying on them and supporting them as a sponsor. 1133 01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:19.800 And I'm glad you even he said yesterday, he said, 1134 01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:22.079 being that an eighteen year old unit, he said, this 1135 01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:24.719 one's totally functional. You have nothing to worry about. But 1136 01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:26.320 he said, I could see just like you talk with 1137 01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:29.239 the roofing company, you know what the gypsies have come through. Yeah, 1138 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:31.159 he said, I could see somebody looking in there that 1139 01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:33.920 you didn't know from Boo and saying, yeah, oh yeah, 1140 01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:35.880 this is an old unit. I couldn't get parts board. 1141 01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:38.400 You know, your Homo flag's gone, so you know you're 1142 01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:40.679 you're looking ten twelve grand to put in a new unit. 1143 01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:44.239 YEP, that's the old HVAC heat exchange is broken. 1144 01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:45.880 Oh you got to get a new unit. And quite 1145 01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:46.960 often they'll just say. 1146 01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:49.760 That and you're like, uh, oh okay, but there are 1147 01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:52.400 some unscrupulous HVAC guys out there that just you'll make 1148 01:04:52.440 --> 01:04:53.760 that claim and then you end up having to get 1149 01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:55.239 a brand new unit when you really might not have 1150 01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:55.880 needed one. 1151 01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:58.679 So and another good thing for Shane, and I know 1152 01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:01.360 he's a happy man, is morning he showed up probably 1153 01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:05.199 wearing his Ohio State Buckeye sweatshirts. So thank you Shane 1154 01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:07.599 and I'm glad your Buckey's won last night. 1155 01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:12.000 Indeed, Mike, you're You're the best brother. Thanks as always 1156 01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:14.519 for your service to our country. My friend. Let's see 1157 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.920 George is on the line. George, thanks for calling this morning. 1158 01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:18.239 I hope you're having a happy Tuesday. 1159 01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:26.280 It's good day and paradise, yes, sir on the blanket Bartens. 1160 01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:30.920 I wonder if since these people made all their money 1161 01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:35.840 and illegal activities, even though they haven't been convicted of 1162 01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:44.599 a crime, would civil asset forfeiture be away to go 1163 01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:45.239 after him? 1164 01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:49.239 Well, no, because you only civil asset forfiture only arises 1165 01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:51.679 in the case of criminal conduct, and if they have 1166 01:05:51.760 --> 01:05:55.760 been freed of any criminal liability, there's no basis for forfeiture. 1167 01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:01.280 So well they do it in the airport. 1168 01:06:05.639 --> 01:06:07.679 You mean, like when you try to bring a firearm 1169 01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:09.440 onto an airplane or something like that. 1170 01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:13.840 I think no, I mean when you carry cash. 1171 01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:16.760 Oh oh oh, Well, you know there are other different 1172 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:19.440 there are different rules and laws applying to different things. 1173 01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:22.760 I think if you're carrying cash, that only rises to 1174 01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:25.639 a level of suspicion for criminal activity. I don't think 1175 01:06:25.679 --> 01:06:29.960 that that necessarily enables law enforcement to just summarily take 1176 01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:32.559 it from you. So I don't know if there are 1177 01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:37.360 rules about carrying certain amounts of cash an x amount 1178 01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:40.400 that it is immediately unlawful to do that. But you're 1179 01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:42.920 going to have to have due process. Anytime you're liberating 1180 01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:45.599 someone's property from them. You got to go through a 1181 01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.480 criminal process or an actual hearing, so you can defend 1182 01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:52.320 yourself and offer reasons and explanations as to why you 1183 01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:55.960 are lawfully carrying currency, for example. But I don't think 1184 01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:59.400 going after assets that may have been derived from criminal 1185 01:06:59.440 --> 01:07:02.639 activity is possible now that the pardon's in place. So 1186 01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:06.239 I guess those assets, even as crazy of places as 1187 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:09.840 they came from, like the Chinese Communist Party or the 1188 01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:14.320 Russians or the Ukrainians, if they did it during the 1189 01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:16.280 period of time subject to the part and then I 1190 01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:18.480 think the Biden family gets to keep all that money. 1191 01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:21.639 Six point thirty five.

Thanks for calling this morning. 1249 01:10:04.279 --> 01:10:07.680 Hey, Brian, I got two things for you. Just said 1250 01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:12.279 a weight has been lifted. It's amazing how many people 1251 01:10:12.359 --> 01:10:17.479 yesterday were talking about Trump because they're not a freak 1252 01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:19.760 to mention anything any longer. 1253 01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:23.439 Yeah, I mean from the day after the election, because 1254 01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:26.800 I mean he won the popular vote. That blew the 1255 01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:29.159 minds of the Democrats and the people that were going 1256 01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:31.560 to come out in protest. Streaming about the electoral college 1257 01:10:31.560 --> 01:10:33.720 needs to be repealed. We need to amend the constitution. 1258 01:10:34.239 --> 01:10:36.319 You know, it was just they were waiting for it. 1259 01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:38.319 And when he won the popular vote by that many 1260 01:10:38.359 --> 01:10:41.920 millions of votes, they're just bubble got completely burst. That 1261 01:10:42.079 --> 01:10:45.239 was all the Trump supporters behind the scenes that during polling, 1262 01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:47.880 when they were asked, they just basically told polsters to 1263 01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:49.960 go to hell. You don't get to know my opinion 1264 01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:52.720 on anybody and hung up. That happened all the time. 1265 01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:54.880 I heard folks talking about the other day. Polsters were 1266 01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:57.680 saying that that's why your polling was so inaccurate. And 1267 01:10:57.720 --> 01:10:59.760 it gave Kamala Harris at least a glimmer of hope 1268 01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:03.119 that you actually could survive that challenge. But no, it 1269 01:11:03.239 --> 01:11:05.680 was a weight lifted from that moment forward. And of 1270 01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:08.600 course you felt it yesterday like times ten. 1271 01:11:09.199 --> 01:11:13.119 Oh yeah, yeah.

And now 1315 01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:19.119 they're going to have the little kids with a little 1316 01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:25.000 running nose and the teams, the teenage pregnant girls being 1317 01:13:25.520 --> 01:13:30.079 looking in, you know, through defense, and uh then it's 1318 01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:32.560 going to be they're going to try to pull out, 1319 01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:37.680 uh are so heartstrings because we end up being somehow 1320 01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:41.439 the bad guys that want to clean up the Democrats mess. 1321 01:13:42.079 --> 01:13:42.920 Oh yeah, you know. 1322 01:13:42.880 --> 01:13:43.399 What I mean. 1323 01:13:44.239 --> 01:13:45.199 I've been waiting listen. 1324 01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:47.159 I've been waiting for it since Trump said he was 1325 01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:50.560 going to engage in deportations. I fully expect from this 1326 01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:54.000 point forward you're going to have major, large protests of 1327 01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:58.319 immigrants and supporters of immigrants, legal or otherwise. And I 1328 01:13:58.359 --> 01:14:01.600 don't mind legal immigrations wondering. I mean, our country is 1329 01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:03.720 a great draw given the freedoms that we enjoy that 1330 01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:06.039 no other country in the world enjoys. That's the magnet 1331 01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:09.279 we get the benefit of for the globe's best and 1332 01:14:09.319 --> 01:14:12.800 brightest folks, and I encourage them to pursue legal immigration path. 1333 01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:15.119 We will welcome you with open arms. But insofar as 1334 01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:18.399 illegal immigration is concerned, we've all seen the chaos that 1335 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:22.159 it is unleashed on. You know, some pretty substantial cities, 1336 01:14:22.199 --> 01:14:24.319 but all across America. When you have a city of 1337 01:14:24.359 --> 01:14:26.479 you know, three thousand people and you throw an additional 1338 01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:30.199 two thousand people into it, you can see the problems 1339 01:14:30.239 --> 01:14:32.920 away ahead of time, and then they've manifested themselves, so 1340 01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:35.640 something has to be done about it. Our immigration laws 1341 01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:37.640 are there for a reason. It allows us to manage 1342 01:14:37.640 --> 01:14:41.359 the population so we don't get faced with these insurmountable hurdles. 1343 01:14:41.680 --> 01:14:43.800 The social welfare system cannot handle it. 1344 01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:44.000 Well. 1345 01:14:44.039 --> 01:14:45.840 There weren't enough FEMA dollars to deal with our own 1346 01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:48.800 American citizenry in North Carolina and other places impacted by 1347 01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:51.000 a hurricane. A lot of that money spent on the 1348 01:14:51.119 --> 01:14:53.079 illegal immigrant problem that we're facing. 1349 01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:59.319 So yeah, Brian, Brian, the thing is it's common people 1350 01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:03.239 deal with out there. Deal where it's coming. It's gonna 1351 01:15:03.279 --> 01:15:04.720 make they're going to make us. 1352 01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:06.159 Look like the bad guys. 1353 01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:08.640 Of course, they're want to created. 1354 01:15:08.119 --> 01:15:12.720 The problem absolutely encouraging people to travel thousands of miles 1355 01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:15.840 to come into the country illegally and hook themselves up 1356 01:15:15.880 --> 01:15:18.359 to the umbilical court of government. Yeah it's their fault. 1357 01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:21.720 I understand that. And yeah, you're gonna get overwhelmed with 1358 01:15:21.880 --> 01:15:23.920 sob stories. It's going to be twenty four to seven 1359 01:15:23.960 --> 01:15:26.720 from this point forward. You could see it coming. Just 1360 01:15:27.279 --> 01:15:29.880 cope and deal with it.

Although 1409 01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:52.920 they took me, It really took me by surprise that 1410 01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:58.920 I shouldn't have. But his he was just really without 1411 01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:03.920 you know, cursing or using foul language or being overly rude. 1412 01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:06.880 He just ripped Biden and the Biden administration in the 1413 01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:09.319 last four years and af during his speech after he 1414 01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:13.760 was sworn in with as I mentioned earlier, obviously Joe 1415 01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:18.640 Biden and Doctor Biden sitting next to him, and Kamala 1416 01:18:18.680 --> 01:18:23.479 Harris over his left shoulder there they did not look 1417 01:18:23.520 --> 01:18:27.000 happy at all. And real quick, I don't often do this, 1418 01:18:27.039 --> 01:18:29.239 I rarely do it at all, but a special shout 1419 01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:32.279 out and thank you, proving that I did indeed marry 1420 01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:35.439 way out of my league, I'll kick my coverage. Thank you, 1421 01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:38.000 special thank you to my wife for two specific things. 1422 01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:42.479 And I have multitude of reasons to thank her, but 1423 01:18:42.760 --> 01:18:46.760 I married a woman has such practical skills. I mean 1424 01:18:46.800 --> 01:18:50.079 she does everything, including sewing and my lining. And my 1425 01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:52.399 winter coat was ripped up, so every time I put 1426 01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:54.000 my arm down the sleeve it would end up going 1427 01:18:54.039 --> 01:18:58.520 behind the lining. It was obviously just frustrating. But she 1428 01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:01.800 replaced the whining in my jacket and she just sat 1429 01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:03.560 down the other night with her needle and thread and 1430 01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:06.319 hand sowed it. And it's just little things like that. 1431 01:19:06.439 --> 01:19:08.960 It just makes me feel so good about my wife. So, honey, 1432 01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:10.840 thank you so much for that and another thing that 1433 01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:14.279 she has been doing. And if you're looking for something, 1434 01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:16.720 you know rewarding to do by way of a hobby. 1435 01:19:17.840 --> 01:19:22.159 Homemade bread. Oh, she's got that down to a science. 1436 01:19:22.199 --> 01:19:22.359 Now. 1437 01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:24.760 We've been eating nothing but homemade bread now for about 1438 01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:26.960 six weeks or so. Don't even buy bread when we 1439 01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:29.960 go to the store. She's got a sour dough starter mix. Amazing, 1440 01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:33.880 absolutely amazing. And spite the fact that I'm trying to 1441 01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:35.800 do the best to keep as many carbs out of 1442 01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:39.199 my diet as possible, it is literally impossible. When the 1443 01:19:39.319 --> 01:19:42.359 smell of warm bread comes out and you got the 1444 01:19:42.359 --> 01:19:45.479 butter sitting right there, and oh my god, really crusty 1445 01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:48.479 on the outside. Amazing bread. So thank you, honey for 1446 01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:51.640 taking such great care of me. I truly appreciate you 1447 01:19:51.720 --> 01:19:54.159 and everything you do. And and hell, what a great 1448 01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:57.199 job you did raising the kids. Uh, in terms of pardons, 1449 01:19:57.199 --> 01:20:01.039 moving back to things that you care about. In addition 1450 01:20:01.079 --> 01:20:04.640 to partning his family and doctor Fauci and Adam Schiff, 1451 01:20:04.720 --> 01:20:10.000 among others, Joe Biden granted clemency to Native American activist 1452 01:20:10.119 --> 01:20:12.680 Leonard I think it's Peltier, but it's pelt I e 1453 01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:17.039 r so Pelter or Peltier. He was convicted of killing 1454 01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:21.399 two FBI agents. Now They've been an Amnesty International out there 1455 01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:27.279 and other groups claiming that he's his trial was a 1456 01:20:27.319 --> 01:20:30.520 travesty of justice. It's been in prison for a really 1457 01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:33.640 long time. Convicted in nineteen seventy five of killing two 1458 01:20:33.760 --> 01:20:35.680 FBI agents on his property. 1459 01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:38.680 The FBI not happy about it. 1460 01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:42.920 They called the former president's commutation of his sentence disgraceful. 1461 01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:47.199 Quote this last second disgraceful act by then President Biden, 1462 01:20:47.239 --> 01:20:51.479 which does not change Peltier's guilt but does release him 1463 01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:53.960 from prison, is cowardly and lacks accountability. It is a 1464 01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:56.840 cruel betrayal to the families and colleagues of these fallen agents, 1465 01:20:56.880 --> 01:21:03.680 and is a slap in the face of law enforcement agents. 1466 01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:05.880 Collier Williams gave their lives in service to this nation. 1467 01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:08.439 Their families continue to bear the heavy burden of that sacrifice. 1468 01:21:08.479 --> 01:21:11.000 The loss of these heroes is felt as deeply today 1469 01:21:11.119 --> 01:21:14.119 within the FBI family as it was in nineteen seventy five. 1470 01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:18.439 They also point out that he never expressed remorse for 1471 01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:22.199 his actions, that he should be granted no mercy or clemency, 1472 01:21:22.960 --> 01:21:24.760 So you can add that to the list of reasons 1473 01:21:24.760 --> 01:21:26.359 why Biden failed president. 1474 01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:28.600 That is really. 1475 01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:34.640 A murderer, a convicted murderer, and I noted the UPI's 1476 01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:39.159 reporting on this convicted murderer, right, he has been in 1477 01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:42.520 prison longest serving political prisoners the way they characterize it. 1478 01:21:45.359 --> 01:21:48.399 And of course after this is a quote from the 1479 01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:51.680 UPI Seborney after he was convicted in nineteen seventy five 1480 01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:56.399 of allegedly killing two FBI agents. You see, when someone's 1481 01:21:56.439 --> 01:21:58.640 been convicted of something like that, the word allegedly is 1482 01:21:58.680 --> 01:22:02.199 not supposed to be in there anymore. Convicted six to 1483 01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:04.119 fifty five, fifty five KR's of the talk station. We're 1484 01:22:04.119 --> 01:22:06.199 gonna hear from Mike Odio.

And I had to make sure that 1528 01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:37.720 I stuck around long enough for my son to get 1529 01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:40.159 free tuition when he graduated in twenty twenty. 1530 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:41.600 I get that all day long. 1531 01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:48.279 That's seventeen thousand reasons to stick around, amen, brother h 1532 01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:53.119 But the really I really started thinking about the state 1533 01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:56.359 reposition when I was lobbying on behalf of the Development 1534 01:24:56.399 --> 01:25:01.000 and Disabled in twenty fourteen or so, and now Senator 1535 01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:04.800 Romachuck Mark Romachuk suggested that I run for State rep. 1536 01:25:05.520 --> 01:25:08.399 And then when I was I was helping Bill Sites, 1537 01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:16.359 the honorable Bill Sites, legendary legislator, put up signs in 1538 01:25:16.399 --> 01:25:18.520 Green Township. Is when he asked me if I wanted 1539 01:25:18.520 --> 01:25:21.760 to be State rep. And that was in about twenty eighteen. 1540 01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:26.560 I believe so, and of course I was in no 1541 01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:30.159 way going to challenge and would never do it Bill Sites, 1542 01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:32.960 of course, And I was thinking about this the other day. 1543 01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:35.600 I think Bill Sites is probably the person that I 1544 01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:39.640 voted for the most times in my life, given a 1545 01:25:39.720 --> 01:25:42.439 twenty four years in the state legislature and before that 1546 01:25:42.520 --> 01:25:47.359 as Green Township trustee. So anyway, I know it was 1547 01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:49.800 a great honor to be able to follow Bill in 1548 01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:53.520 this wonderful seat and represent the people in the thirtieth 1549 01:25:53.560 --> 01:25:57.760 District and my beloved Green Township, del High, Miami Township 1550 01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:02.000 and the rest of this pies because for most of 1551 01:26:02.039 --> 01:26:05.800 my life, which includes basically after moving from Summit, New 1552 01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:08.319 Jersey when I was six years old with my mom 1553 01:26:08.359 --> 01:26:11.920 and dad, I've lived in Green Township ever since. And 1554 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:15.600 so yes, I am a west Sider, although I was 1555 01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:16.560 born on the East side. 1556 01:26:17.039 --> 01:26:22.720 Well, you made the right choice, or your parents made 1557 01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:25.399 the right choice moving over the west side. But I 1558 01:26:25.439 --> 01:26:27.760 do remember the commute from from del Hi O to 1559 01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:30.359 Saint Xavier High School because I swam on the Marlins 1560 01:26:30.399 --> 01:26:32.720 and keating that datorium. And so when I asked, when 1561 01:26:32.720 --> 01:26:35.199 I asked my dad what my options for for high school, 1562 01:26:35.239 --> 01:26:37.199 because I said I wanted to go to Elder Sorry, 1563 01:26:37.520 --> 01:26:40.319 he went to Elder. You got He said, you got 1564 01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:43.760 two choices, Oak Kills or Xavier. And since I've been 1565 01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:46.119 going to Xavier every day of my life for the 1566 01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:48.479 prior three years, I'm like, I'm not doing that commute 1567 01:26:48.520 --> 01:26:51.479 for the next three more years. So ok Kills is 1568 01:26:51.479 --> 01:26:53.319 what I chose, and I don't regret it. But you're 1569 01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:55.800 a Saint Xavier grad yourself, and you also have are 1570 01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:58.880 a double bear cat like me, University of Cincinnati history degree, 1571 01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.479 fall by law degrees. So that's kind of the path 1572 01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:05.800 I took and right well served by the University of 1573 01:27:05.800 --> 01:27:08.520 Cincinnati's education. So I have no complaints. 1574 01:27:08.520 --> 01:27:10.319 Absolutely yeah me either. 1575 01:27:10.600 --> 01:27:11.479 Absolutely great. 1576 01:27:11.520 --> 01:27:13.560 It was a great It was a great value going 1577 01:27:13.560 --> 01:27:17.880 to UC and both undergrad and graduate school. And then 1578 01:27:18.079 --> 01:27:20.840 I also got a Master's of Education from Mount Saint. 1579 01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:23.159 Joe, which right I absolutely loved. 1580 01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:27.159 So that that and of course my my journey into 1581 01:27:27.399 --> 01:27:31.399 from practice in law to you know, becoming a teacher 1582 01:27:31.439 --> 01:27:34.159 at Saint Javior High School ran through Mount Saint Joe, 1583 01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:35.760 So shout out to Mount Saint Joe. 1584 01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:37.520 Yeah, and what a perfect fit. 1585 01:27:37.680 --> 01:27:37.840 You know. 1586 01:27:37.920 --> 01:27:40.399 I don't know how you felt about law school. I'm 1587 01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:42.560 fortunate enough to have met my wife in law school, 1588 01:27:42.560 --> 01:27:45.039 which is enough reason for me to have a happy 1589 01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:48.199 experience with it. But I loved law school because of 1590 01:27:48.239 --> 01:27:50.880 the Socratic method and the exchange that you would have 1591 01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:55.000 and the the back and forth, open discussion, and that 1592 01:27:55.039 --> 01:27:56.840 just doesn't seem to exist anymore. And the reason I 1593 01:27:57.239 --> 01:27:59.960 point that out because again, being an educator at Saying 1594 01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:03.079 Savior High School, you taught government economics, modern world history, 1595 01:28:03.199 --> 01:28:06.560 US history, world cultures, in American Civil War. That's an 1596 01:28:06.640 --> 01:28:09.600 environment that is open to that type of teaching methodology. 1597 01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:11.600 Were you able to do that? And I'm thinking of 1598 01:28:11.680 --> 01:28:15.720 in modern times when we have such divided politics and 1599 01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:20.399 such you know, thin skin sensitive people who can't face 1600 01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:23.840 criticism or you know, but the the the the idea 1601 01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:27.119 that you intended to insult somebody, like microaggressions, you have 1602 01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:29.439 to deal with that stuff. Was that did that exist 1603 01:28:29.640 --> 01:28:31.720 during your period over the course of your teaching and 1604 01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:34.600 Xavier High School or did there remain a really open 1605 01:28:34.720 --> 01:28:38.119 environment for for learning and and and and teaching logic 1606 01:28:38.159 --> 01:28:40.680 and reason and critical thinking skills. 1607 01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:44.199 If if that had become the case, I would have left. 1608 01:28:44.800 --> 01:28:50.000 Oh good, I I really I'm at the point at 1609 01:28:50.000 --> 01:28:54.039 some point my adultthood, I just decided that I wanted 1610 01:28:54.039 --> 01:28:58.359 to be around positive people. I wanted to be around 1611 01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:01.680 open thinkers, and I certainly was not going to teach 1612 01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:04.720 anything other than that when it came to my students. 1613 01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:08.279 So no, but Saint Xavier always was and still is 1614 01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:14.439 just a wonderful place. It's the closest you can get 1615 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:18.520 to having a college or what used to be. I 1616 01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:22.560 guess when we were going through college college experience on 1617 01:29:22.600 --> 01:29:26.319 a high school level, and of course with the Jesuit mission, 1618 01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:29.600 the Catholic Church's mission, I felt completely at ease and 1619 01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:33.159 I thrived there, And a big shout out to everyone 1620 01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:37.520 in Sant X's High School, the social studies department, the administration, 1621 01:29:38.199 --> 01:29:40.600 and my fellow faculty members and the staff out there 1622 01:29:40.600 --> 01:29:44.000 are just incredible. So I was, and of course the facilities, 1623 01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:47.479 I could football for sixteen years. That was a wonderful experience. 1624 01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:51.199 And I was also a mock trial moderator for two years. 1625 01:29:51.840 --> 01:29:54.479 The first year we finished runner up in the state 1626 01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:57.680 on mock trial, and then my second year we got 1627 01:29:57.680 --> 01:30:01.199 a state championship in mock trial, which I asked for 1628 01:30:01.239 --> 01:30:03.840 a ring, but that that wasn't for forthcoming. 1629 01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:06.880 They deserve it. 1630 01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:07.000 Go. 1631 01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:10.279 Yeah, those those mock trials are a great time and 1632 01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:13.000 a great learning opportunity for young people. You know, get 1633 01:30:13.039 --> 01:30:16.880 out there and make arguments and you know, just stand 1634 01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:19.720 on your own abilities. And I've also judged some of 1635 01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:20.560 those over the years. 1636 01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:24.079 Well that's great, and so you know exactly what that 1637 01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:30.720 mental abstract thinking ping pong, yeah is And and but 1638 01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:36.119 you know, the the thing is is that all these experiences, 1639 01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:40.680 you know, for the students and extracurriculars, different clubs, the 1640 01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:43.680 band and other things are just vitally important to being 1641 01:30:43.720 --> 01:30:48.720 a successful adult and really grasping some kind of some 1642 01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:50.399 more serenity out of life. 1643 01:30:50.279 --> 01:30:50.479 You know. 1644 01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:56.039 And so but the abstract thinking skills was something that 1645 01:30:56.199 --> 01:30:59.560 was very very cognitive of and was a major objective 1646 01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:03.239 of all my classes. Good as is complete alignment with 1647 01:31:03.319 --> 01:31:09.399 the Jesuit Educational Mission and anything we can do to assist, 1648 01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:12.520 you know, the public schools and all students in Ohio 1649 01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:16.239 to practice abstract thinking skills to break them out of 1650 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:20.920 concrete thinking is vitally important, especially as we head into 1651 01:31:21.359 --> 01:31:25.000 a hyper age of technology and communication. 1652 01:31:25.720 --> 01:31:28.319 Yeah, and that's I'm glad you brought that last point up, 1653 01:31:28.399 --> 01:31:31.800 because you know, I struggle with how young people are 1654 01:31:31.800 --> 01:31:33.720 going to get well be able to cope with life's 1655 01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:37.640 challenges as they go through because it's the default now 1656 01:31:37.680 --> 01:31:40.119 if you're asked a question is just immediately to do 1657 01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:42.840 a search on your search engine on your phone. You're 1658 01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:46.239 not sort of thinking about it and talking about subject 1659 01:31:46.319 --> 01:31:48.800 and just it's just so easy. And I would think 1660 01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:52.439 that your retention, your your your ability to retain any information, 1661 01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:56.800 and some of it's very important, is probably limited by 1662 01:31:56.840 --> 01:31:59.079 the ease that you can go out into the world 1663 01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:01.680 and and and get the answers to questions. It's like 1664 01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:03.560 the old days. You used to have to do mathematics 1665 01:32:04.079 --> 01:32:06.439 on your own. You had to learn multiplication tables, and 1666 01:32:06.479 --> 01:32:08.960 you had to do the what was behind the answer? 1667 01:32:09.079 --> 01:32:11.920 Now everybody's toting around a calculator and just do and 1668 01:32:11.960 --> 01:32:16.399 it's done. Do you know what's behind the ultimate? You know? 1669 01:32:16.439 --> 01:32:20.920 You know equation? Can you actually perform that calculation on 1670 01:32:20.960 --> 01:32:22.920 your own without a calculator, and I think that's the 1671 01:32:22.920 --> 01:32:24.600 part that's missing these days. 1672 01:32:25.159 --> 01:32:28.720 Well, I agree with you. And the other thing that 1673 01:32:29.279 --> 01:32:34.000 is in tandem with it is a culture of isolation. Yeah, 1674 01:32:34.119 --> 01:32:38.479 and so a failure to apply all these different fields 1675 01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:44.640 of knowledge, uh and emotion appropriately of course with the 1676 01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:50.560 world around them. Is you know this, this being tied 1677 01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:55.479 to your phone culture, it just leads to a culture 1678 01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:59.920 of isolation. And with isolation you end up with sadness, 1679 01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:03.239 you end up with narrow thinking, you end up with 1680 01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:07.439 the inability to listen, and and really you end up 1681 01:33:07.880 --> 01:33:10.479 on a path that I'm not saying they're not happy, 1682 01:33:10.560 --> 01:33:14.439 but less levels of happiness and fulfillment in life. 1683 01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:15.520 That's what I think. 1684 01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:18.399 I think that's an accurate observation. Now we'll pause. We'll 1685 01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:22.159 bring my Codeo so back representing District thirty to see 1686 01:33:22.199 --> 01:33:24.880 if he's going to bring those things to legislation.

The meantime, though, 1743 01:36:17.399 --> 01:36:20.359 Mike Odeo SOO now representing District thirty here in the 1744 01:36:20.359 --> 01:36:23.520 state of Ohio. I presume Mike, you're planning on hitting 1745 01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:26.399 the ground running with this new gig. Is are talking 1746 01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:29.319 about all your background and education, and what an amazing 1747 01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:32.279 background it is. Do you plan on bringing some of 1748 01:36:32.279 --> 01:36:35.000 that education experience that maybe brings some reform to the 1749 01:36:35.000 --> 01:36:37.439 state of Ohio, either by way of house schools are 1750 01:36:37.479 --> 01:36:39.920 funded or perhaps the curriculum. Do you have any ideas 1751 01:36:39.920 --> 01:36:40.800 along those lines. 1752 01:36:40.680 --> 01:36:45.960 Mike, Well, it's a work in progress. First of all, 1753 01:36:46.319 --> 01:36:50.880 I've been in conversations with our wonderful school districts, for 1754 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:55.199 example Oak Hill School District and the Three River School District. 1755 01:36:55.640 --> 01:36:58.520 I need to do more interaction and learn more about 1756 01:36:58.520 --> 01:37:02.000 the Cincinnati Public School District, but I do have the 1757 01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:04.840 idea first, you know, I do want to make sure 1758 01:37:04.880 --> 01:37:08.319 that people understand I do support the public schools. I 1759 01:37:08.439 --> 01:37:13.319 support the public school students obviously, though that there needs 1760 01:37:13.359 --> 01:37:17.479 to be some changes. I think that I'm going to 1761 01:37:17.520 --> 01:37:20.840 be looking very carefully at the curriculum as it relates 1762 01:37:21.239 --> 01:37:24.439 to my position as vice chair of Education Committee in 1763 01:37:24.479 --> 01:37:29.960 the State House. The issue is also segues with the 1764 01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:33.680 property tax issue, which of course, which of course is 1765 01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:37.800 also a major part of education. In terms of the 1766 01:37:37.840 --> 01:37:43.520 funding formula and tweaks to it, I don't think the 1767 01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:46.000 answer is throwing more money at them, but we of 1768 01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:48.760 course have to stick in some ways to the funding 1769 01:37:48.800 --> 01:37:54.119 formula because, of course, the original funding formula was considered 1770 01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:56.439 unconstitutional by the Ohio State Supreme Court. 1771 01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:58.039 Yeah, going on like thirty years ago. 1772 01:37:59.000 --> 01:38:03.520 That's right, correct, But you know, I think that there's 1773 01:38:04.680 --> 01:38:08.640 the issue I see is it's on the record going 1774 01:38:08.680 --> 01:38:12.319 to support the public schools and work with them. The 1775 01:38:13.159 --> 01:38:17.760 main complaint I hear from the public school sector is 1776 01:38:18.399 --> 01:38:21.319 the complaint about a lack of accountability for the voucher 1777 01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:25.199 program expansion. And when I listen to their complaint that 1778 01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:28.439 they say that, you know, these funds aren't regulated to 1779 01:38:28.520 --> 01:38:30.880 the same extent, of course as public funds for the 1780 01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:34.560 public schools. When I really think about it, it really 1781 01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:37.359 comes down to an argument that they're making that it's 1782 01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:40.520 just not fair. I look at the benefits of having 1783 01:38:41.000 --> 01:38:43.359 less regulation for the school funds to go to the 1784 01:38:43.359 --> 01:38:47.079 private schools, and what I really do recognize as a 1785 01:38:47.079 --> 01:38:50.039 teacher at a private school for thirty years is that 1786 01:38:50.119 --> 01:38:52.880 the accountability the private schools get is from the people 1787 01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:58.279 that pay their tuition yep. And also the other accountability 1788 01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:02.560 is the alumni of these private schools. So rather than 1789 01:39:03.199 --> 01:39:05.920 taking away one of the great benefits of private schools, 1790 01:39:05.920 --> 01:39:08.920 which is less regulation as it relates to spending, I 1791 01:39:08.960 --> 01:39:11.880 would be more interested at this point to engage with 1792 01:39:11.960 --> 01:39:15.119 the public school sector and say what regulations can we 1793 01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:20.079 remove from the educational structure they would actually make their 1794 01:39:20.119 --> 01:39:24.800 lives easier, make their in terms of consuming time for administration. 1795 01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:26.840 I would look at the. 1796 01:39:26.800 --> 01:39:29.199 Testing battery to see if we can remove some of 1797 01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:31.800 the tests they have to give to their students. I 1798 01:39:32.199 --> 01:39:35.880 look at bus transportation, and with the funding formula, I 1799 01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:40.000 would consider the funds they receive, for example, for their 1800 01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:44.640 operating expenditures, to give them some leeway to be able 1801 01:39:44.680 --> 01:39:47.920 to spend those moneys on maintenance and perhaps some small 1802 01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:51.920 capital programs within their districts. But you know, the bottom 1803 01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:54.439 line is that there's a whole other level of education 1804 01:39:54.560 --> 01:39:57.880 in Ohio. I was on the board of three charter schools. 1805 01:39:58.279 --> 01:40:01.640 I think the charter school pro system is a good system. 1806 01:40:02.199 --> 01:40:05.520 I also think that the you know, homeschooling system is 1807 01:40:05.520 --> 01:40:06.239 a good system. 1808 01:40:06.279 --> 01:40:07.880 I would like to see if they could. 1809 01:40:08.439 --> 01:40:11.520 If the homeschools could further expand their their regular school 1810 01:40:11.560 --> 01:40:15.840 time activities and perhaps in their churches, But I don't. 1811 01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:18.600 I think the model that I like the most right 1812 01:40:18.640 --> 01:40:22.880 now for creativity, because I think we have to be 1813 01:40:22.960 --> 01:40:26.640 creative in education is the model used by the classical 1814 01:40:26.680 --> 01:40:30.279 academy and reading amen I mean that that turned out 1815 01:40:30.319 --> 01:40:34.760 to be. I was approached by them, and I engaged 1816 01:40:34.800 --> 01:40:36.880 with them at the very beginning before they were open 1817 01:40:37.600 --> 01:40:41.680 with their their their leader, micros and others, and so 1818 01:40:41.760 --> 01:40:44.439 I got to see that the creation of that and 1819 01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:51.279 that's that's essentially a charter school. So I think it's 1820 01:40:51.279 --> 01:40:56.079 been a huge success. I am partial to its background 1821 01:40:56.119 --> 01:41:01.920 with the Hillsdale College system and method of education, and 1822 01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:04.239 the more I look into that, the more I find 1823 01:41:04.279 --> 01:41:07.239 out to be absolutely fascinating how they have like a 1824 01:41:07.279 --> 01:41:11.640 metaphysical approach and classical approach to education, which does all 1825 01:41:11.640 --> 01:41:13.800 the things that we were talking about earlier when it 1826 01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:17.680 comes to abstract thinking for example, and working in groups 1827 01:41:17.720 --> 01:41:19.920 and teamwork, and those are the things we did at 1828 01:41:19.880 --> 01:41:22.720 since Zavier High School. But I just think that that's 1829 01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:25.199 a model that, you know, what can we do to 1830 01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:28.680 assist and it doesn't have to be you know, a 1831 01:41:28.760 --> 01:41:33.199 particular political background when it comes to these things. I mean, 1832 01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:36.880 I'm open to other approaches to besides you know, Hillsdale, 1833 01:41:37.119 --> 01:41:38.920 but it still has to in the end be very 1834 01:41:38.960 --> 01:41:43.399 good education. And the other thing I was wondering about is, 1835 01:41:43.600 --> 01:41:46.680 you know, the Constitution says that there's a separation of 1836 01:41:46.760 --> 01:41:49.920 church and state, which I respect, but is it in 1837 01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:54.119 the constitution they have a separation of school and the spirit, 1838 01:41:55.159 --> 01:41:58.239 because I look at education as being completely aligned with 1839 01:41:58.319 --> 01:42:01.119 the soul and the growth of the soul, and I 1840 01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:05.800 could see activities that in curriculum that would not violate 1841 01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:09.479 church and state separations, which I respect, but at least 1842 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:13.600 the behaviors that come with getting a better understanding of 1843 01:42:13.680 --> 01:42:16.239 what we call our soul and our places universe. 1844 01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:17.760 So those are kind. 1845 01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:20.079 Of like the heavy thinking things. Really, what I'm going 1846 01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:23.439 to be looking for is the gifts of the Holy 1847 01:42:23.479 --> 01:42:26.199 Spirit and education, and that would apply it also to 1848 01:42:26.239 --> 01:42:27.119 public education. 1849 01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:30.479 Fair enough, my codeos. So I know you and I 1850 01:42:30.479 --> 01:42:32.880 at least I hope you and I have further conversations 1851 01:42:32.880 --> 01:42:35.920 down the road as you establish your place and represent 1852 01:42:36.000 --> 01:42:38.720 District thirty over in on the west side of Cincinnati. 1853 01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:40.960 I'm certain you're going to do an outstanding job, and 1854 01:42:41.439 --> 01:42:44.520 obviously you have a great deal of concern and compassion 1855 01:42:44.600 --> 01:42:48.239 for students and education, which of course is a welcome, 1856 01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:51.640 welcome thing, especially when being a position to change things. 1857 01:42:51.680 --> 01:42:56.239 Yeah, it also extends to other things involving young people, 1858 01:42:56.800 --> 01:43:00.479 and I'm going to be looking in with my colleagues 1859 01:43:00.520 --> 01:43:02.600 about how can we help the young people out there 1860 01:43:02.600 --> 01:43:05.079 who I still have a connection with. Of course, having 1861 01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:09.079 I've taught high schoolers over thirty years, we really have 1862 01:43:09.159 --> 01:43:11.239 to figure out a way to get them the ability 1863 01:43:11.319 --> 01:43:13.880 to buy their first home or to at least live 1864 01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:19.960 in apartments with reasonable rent. I understand that these go 1865 01:43:20.079 --> 01:43:23.000 into free market principles, but let's just talk about buying 1866 01:43:23.279 --> 01:43:26.720 your first home, getting something of the life that you 1867 01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:30.279 and I really were blessed to have lived having been 1868 01:43:30.279 --> 01:43:34.760 born in the sixties. Yea, And again, I really want 1869 01:43:34.800 --> 01:43:37.159 to make sure the young people out there know that 1870 01:43:37.239 --> 01:43:39.079 I'm in their corner. 1871 01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:42.560 Well, I'm sure they're well feeling coomfortable with that one. 1872 01:43:42.720 --> 01:43:45.600 Mike Odioso, I appreciate your being on the morning show 1873 01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:47.880 today talking with my listeners and me, and we'll have 1874 01:43:47.960 --> 01:43:51.119 you on again down the road.

But really the bigger picture 1971 01:48:25.399 --> 01:48:30.560 is that we're off to a very contentious start, I 1972 01:48:30.560 --> 01:48:35.319 think in terms of this the future of the Bengals, 1973 01:48:35.439 --> 01:48:37.359 you know, on the lease and the County and the 1974 01:48:37.399 --> 01:48:40.840 Bengals and the Bengals you know, doing a new lease 1975 01:48:40.920 --> 01:48:43.720 with the county or extending their lease with the county, 1976 01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:49.960 and the ultimate takeaway from it, Brian is no big 1977 01:48:50.000 --> 01:48:50.760 surprise there. 1978 01:48:51.279 --> 01:48:53.920 Well, you know, I understand, Yeah, I know, I understand that. 1979 01:48:54.039 --> 01:48:56.680 And obviously, you know, the the voters are a little 1980 01:48:56.720 --> 01:48:59.800 disappointed since the you know, the half of the deal 1981 01:48:59.840 --> 01:49:01.680 that we were going to have our taxes ultimately lowered, 1982 01:49:01.800 --> 01:49:04.720 it really never came to fruition. They got their stadium 1983 01:49:04.760 --> 01:49:07.720 and now they are have built into that one sided agreement, 1984 01:49:07.760 --> 01:49:10.119 which I think everybody who has looked at that agreement 1985 01:49:10.239 --> 01:49:13.000 realizes how one side it is. Of course, that side 1986 01:49:13.039 --> 01:49:15.119 of nears to the Bengals benefit. We've got all these 1987 01:49:15.159 --> 01:49:19.119 obligations for upgrades and improvements and what the what was 1988 01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:21.279 it two hundred and fifty million dollars? Have I got 1989 01:49:21.279 --> 01:49:23.199 that figure right that the Bengals had on their wish 1990 01:49:23.239 --> 01:49:26.680 list for improvements including brand new buildings for the administrative staff. 1991 01:49:28.000 --> 01:49:31.079 Yeah, it was right around three hundred Yeah, three hundred million. 1992 01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:35.399 And and then in one of these emails, it was 1993 01:49:35.560 --> 01:49:40.640 it indicated like that potentially in these emails, and because 1994 01:49:40.680 --> 01:49:44.079 the county likes to take its time in releasing public records, 1995 01:49:44.359 --> 01:49:47.920 we're talking about emails from last July at August, so 1996 01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:53.479 you know, some things have happened since then. It seems 1997 01:49:53.720 --> 01:50:00.199 like generally things are on track or you know, some 1998 01:50:00.239 --> 01:50:03.840 of those improvements to continue on that last May, the 1999 01:50:03.840 --> 01:50:07.279 Bengals announced they're gonna pour one hundred and twenty million 2000 01:50:07.359 --> 01:50:10.640 dollars into the stadium. Uh. And so it's a little 2001 01:50:10.680 --> 01:50:14.159 confusing then on the timing of and that those emails 2002 01:50:14.199 --> 01:50:17.359 came out what a couple of months later that indicated 2003 01:50:17.399 --> 01:50:20.239 that maybe the Bengals aren't going to do that. But 2004 01:50:20.279 --> 01:50:24.079 then every everything since in terms of just what reporters 2005 01:50:24.079 --> 01:50:28.680 have have found out, and you know, what some county 2006 01:50:28.680 --> 01:50:32.079 officials have said that some things are on track, like 2007 01:50:32.159 --> 01:50:36.560 the county, uh you know the county, Well this was 2008 01:50:36.560 --> 01:50:39.279 I guess apparently this would have been approved around this 2009 01:50:39.399 --> 01:50:42.359 time last year. It seems crazy to think, uh, you 2010 01:50:42.399 --> 01:50:45.439 know that the Bengals did they did new club seats 2011 01:50:46.039 --> 01:50:48.359 for this season, and you know that was about thirty 2012 01:50:48.439 --> 01:50:51.399 nine million, I believe, And there's all kinds of million this, 2013 01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:55.000 a million that, and a hundred here and forty million there, 2014 01:50:55.079 --> 01:50:57.439 and so it gets it gets a little confusing. But 2015 01:50:59.600 --> 01:51:02.239 you know, well a lot of my reporting on this, Brian, 2016 01:51:02.319 --> 01:51:07.359 has been everything I've been told for you know, really 2017 01:51:07.399 --> 01:51:09.920 a couple of years now, is that the Bengals don't 2018 01:51:09.920 --> 01:51:12.199 want to fight. They don't want a contentious fight on this, 2019 01:51:12.319 --> 01:51:15.039 they don't want to fight on this, on this new lease. 2020 01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:18.960 But it's like everything I read from those emails and 2021 01:51:18.960 --> 01:51:21.920 from reports is like you can say you don't want 2022 01:51:21.960 --> 01:51:25.640 to fight that, yet you're fighting, and you're you're doing 2023 01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:30.560 the same things and being incredibly tough. And they're known 2024 01:51:30.560 --> 01:51:35.479 as incredibly tough negotiators. And I suppose, as not suppose, 2025 01:51:35.560 --> 01:51:38.199 I mean as a private business, they have every right 2026 01:51:38.279 --> 01:51:40.960 to you know, do whatever they want in terms of 2027 01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:44.680 their negotiation, but that doesn't mean the county can say 2028 01:51:44.800 --> 01:51:48.159 yes to everything they asked for. And the county's pushing back, 2029 01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:52.119 and that's what the county should be doing. I really 2030 01:51:52.119 --> 01:51:56.319 believe the county is committed to absolutely trying to get 2031 01:51:56.319 --> 01:51:59.279 a better deal for the taxpayers this time around than 2032 01:51:59.279 --> 01:52:03.199 they did last. Now is that ultimately gonna happen. We 2033 01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:06.399 can sit here and try to predict and project, and 2034 01:52:06.920 --> 01:52:11.119 I mean, and I certainly have my prediction on how 2035 01:52:11.159 --> 01:52:13.199 this is gonna go. I think in the end, like 2036 01:52:13.640 --> 01:52:18.399 everyone's gonna you know, the Bengals are gonna threaten to leave, 2037 01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:21.600 and the County's gonna play hardball, and they're gonna play 2038 01:52:21.600 --> 01:52:24.479 hardball right up till the very last second. I don't 2039 01:52:24.479 --> 01:52:26.680 think the Bengals are ever really gonna be serious about 2040 01:52:26.720 --> 01:52:28.880 wanting to leave, and then we've got a deal. 2041 01:52:29.199 --> 01:52:32.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Litigation is most usually settled on the 2042 01:52:32.640 --> 01:52:34.800 courthouse steps, as the old adage, you know, they wait 2043 01:52:34.800 --> 01:52:37.039 for the last minute and then finally reach a resolution 2044 01:52:37.079 --> 01:52:40.119 because no one wants to take the gamble. But I 2045 01:52:40.119 --> 01:52:44.720 guess I have to ask, is there really any possibility 2046 01:52:44.760 --> 01:52:46.960 of them leaving? I mean, is there some other you know, 2047 01:52:47.079 --> 01:52:49.239 city that says, hey, you know, we're right here, and 2048 01:52:49.520 --> 01:52:51.439 by the way, we're willing to build a two billion 2049 01:52:51.479 --> 01:52:54.239 dollars stadium for you whatever new stadium costs these days, 2050 01:52:54.439 --> 01:52:57.159 I didn't know that that was really even a possibility. 2051 01:52:57.359 --> 01:52:59.760 And don't we as a city also get the option 2052 01:52:59.840 --> 01:53:01.520 to sort of buy them out if they threatened to 2053 01:53:01.560 --> 01:53:01.840 do that. 2054 01:53:03.840 --> 01:53:09.760 I don't know on your last question, is it I mean, 2055 01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:14.920 is it possible they could leave? Certainly when you look around, 2056 01:53:15.000 --> 01:53:20.880 there's not In terms of American cities, there's doesn't seem 2057 01:53:20.920 --> 01:53:24.399 like there's that many options. I know Austin has, the 2058 01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:27.239 Texas has been thrown around. I believe the Buffalo Bills 2059 01:53:27.359 --> 01:53:31.000 used Austin, Texas as as levers to get their new stadium. 2060 01:53:31.279 --> 01:53:33.960 There were some reports out there on that. Now there's 2061 01:53:34.000 --> 01:53:36.840 also this, you know, there's a lot of talka or 2062 01:53:36.880 --> 01:53:39.840 there has been talk out there that like Jerry Jones 2063 01:53:39.880 --> 01:53:42.319 and Dallas would never allow a team in Austin, and 2064 01:53:42.800 --> 01:53:46.079 I think San Antonio has been has been mentioned and 2065 01:53:46.279 --> 01:53:49.319 again at a lot of times it's a speculation. Yeah, uh, 2066 01:53:49.359 --> 01:53:51.840 and again that would be the Dallas Cowboys would have 2067 01:53:51.920 --> 01:53:57.239 their say on that. So It kind of comes back 2068 01:53:57.279 --> 01:54:00.319 to the the question of as you see the NFL 2069 01:54:00.439 --> 01:54:05.960 teams continue to play international games and talk of could 2070 01:54:05.960 --> 01:54:07.880 there could there be a team in London, could there 2071 01:54:07.920 --> 01:54:11.800 be a team in Mexico City. I this is what 2072 01:54:11.880 --> 01:54:16.800 I truly believe. And again just from my conversations and 2073 01:54:17.039 --> 01:54:20.520 trying to put puzzle pieces together, and I am I 2074 01:54:20.560 --> 01:54:22.319 want to be clear, I am not saying this is 2075 01:54:22.399 --> 01:54:25.439 what's going to happen, that this is what the Bengals want. 2076 01:54:26.000 --> 01:54:30.920 I really believe the Bengals would sell the team before that, 2077 01:54:30.920 --> 01:54:35.000 that they would move the team from Cincinnati really to anywhere, 2078 01:54:35.439 --> 01:54:37.560 whatever city it would be. I really believe that. 2079 01:54:39.039 --> 01:54:42.000 Yeah, I guess the ownership, the ownership change is really 2080 01:54:42.000 --> 01:54:44.000 what I was going for. If they sell, I think 2081 01:54:44.039 --> 01:54:46.560 that brings about a legal option for the city to 2082 01:54:46.600 --> 01:54:46.840 buy it. 2083 01:54:46.880 --> 01:54:47.720 Not if they just move. 2084 01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:50.399 The Brown family wants to back up and collectively move 2085 01:54:50.479 --> 01:54:53.319 their team to another city. I suppose they can do that. 2086 01:54:53.399 --> 01:54:57.439 But that international angle is kind of an interesting topic 2087 01:54:57.560 --> 01:55:00.880 because you know, they are pushing NFL global, so that 2088 01:55:00.920 --> 01:55:04.720 does remain a possibility. Who is negotiating or leading the 2089 01:55:04.760 --> 01:55:07.119 negotiations on the county side. 2090 01:55:08.159 --> 01:55:12.399 Well, the county administrator Jeff Ludo, some of the Yeah, 2091 01:55:12.479 --> 01:55:14.479 some of the same lawyers that have been involved for 2092 01:55:14.520 --> 01:55:21.119 a long time are are still involved now. Obviously the 2093 01:55:21.159 --> 01:55:24.720 county commissioners are getting briefed and they are having a 2094 01:55:24.760 --> 01:55:27.680 little bit of say, but certainly from the county side 2095 01:55:27.680 --> 01:55:30.239 of this or some different players at the table now 2096 01:55:30.279 --> 01:55:33.239 on the on the Bengals side of this, Uh, there's 2097 01:55:33.680 --> 01:55:37.079 mostly the same folks are still involved, from the attorneys 2098 01:55:37.119 --> 01:55:41.800 to the obviously the Bengals ownership are still involved in 2099 01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:43.079 what happened last time. 2100 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:46.279 Well, same players and the same people who were. 2101 01:55:46.239 --> 01:55:48.960 There last time are here again at the table. And 2102 01:55:49.119 --> 01:55:52.399 these these guys are I mean, the Bengals are. They 2103 01:55:52.439 --> 01:55:59.039 are incredibly legally smart. They have incredibly smart negotiators, and 2104 01:55:59.479 --> 01:56:04.920 they they are tough negotiators. And I mean, you know, 2105 01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:07.800 if you were teaching a class in law school about 2106 01:56:07.880 --> 01:56:11.800 negotiation and how to get the absolute best deal for yourself, 2107 01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:15.920 I would certainly use the Bengals as an example. From 2108 01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:18.560 a private business standpoint. 2109 01:56:17.359 --> 01:56:23.960 The Dream Team just said, don't worry, We've got Stephanie 2110 01:56:24.039 --> 01:56:26.479 Dumas on the other side. So there's nothing. 2111 01:56:28.560 --> 01:56:33.640 Well, yeah, I mean, there has been some talk behind 2112 01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:38.880 the scenes too about some desires I think on the 2113 01:56:38.920 --> 01:56:41.960 Bengals side to you know, I think they would like 2114 01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:44.880 to see maybe a some kind of a stadium authority. 2115 01:56:46.279 --> 01:56:49.079 And again this is just I think just probably cutting 2116 01:56:49.159 --> 01:56:55.079 room floor types of ideas in which basically you would 2117 01:56:55.079 --> 01:57:00.960 get the negotiation piece away from the county commissioners. I've 2118 01:57:01.000 --> 01:57:05.199 not since any kind of real momentum there on really 2119 01:57:05.560 --> 01:57:08.399 you know that happening, But I mean you certainly see that. 2120 01:57:08.479 --> 01:57:11.439 I believe Pittsburgh has a stadium authority, and it's just 2121 01:57:11.479 --> 01:57:14.840 spasically a board, a publicly appointed board, and that's what 2122 01:57:14.880 --> 01:57:15.760 they do. 2123 01:57:15.359 --> 01:57:15.600 They do. 2124 01:57:16.159 --> 01:57:20.399 They do stadium related issues and maintenance and budget money 2125 01:57:20.439 --> 01:57:21.159 and that kind of thing. 2126 01:57:21.279 --> 01:57:23.720 Well, budget and money, I think is where the rubber 2127 01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:25.840 meets the road, because we're talking about a lot of 2128 01:57:25.880 --> 01:57:28.399 money and a finite amount of dollars in the county, 2129 01:57:28.439 --> 01:57:29.920 you know, a lot of which is supposed to go 2130 01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:32.119 to law enforcement and the other thing I have to 2131 01:57:32.119 --> 01:57:33.960 observe for a part company today, Jason Williams, and I've 2132 01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:37.159 enjoyed this conversation. Is I always do with you, you know, 2133 01:57:38.319 --> 01:57:41.920 I find this all ridiculous, this whole idea of keeping 2134 01:57:42.000 --> 01:57:44.199 up with the Joneses. In so far as stadium upgrades 2135 01:57:44.239 --> 01:57:47.640 are concerned, does the stadium perfunction as it should? Yes, 2136 01:57:47.720 --> 01:57:50.479 it provides an adequate space where a game of football 2137 01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:53.439 can be played. I mean, really, that's it. I don't 2138 01:57:53.479 --> 01:57:55.880 care if the if the locker room has a disco 2139 01:57:55.920 --> 01:57:59.319 ball and a special stereosystem, and damn it, you could 2140 01:57:59.319 --> 01:58:01.600 probably have the guys in a high school locker room. 2141 01:58:01.920 --> 01:58:04.199 It would hold their clothes while they're playing the game. 2142 01:58:04.239 --> 01:58:06.479 They could shower and clean up there and then go home. 2143 01:58:06.920 --> 01:58:09.279 All these bells and whistles really just kind of pissed 2144 01:58:09.279 --> 01:58:11.920 me off, especially since you and I the taxpayers at 2145 01:58:11.920 --> 01:58:13.840 Hamilton County, are going to shoulder the burden on this. 2146 01:58:14.239 --> 01:58:16.239 It seems to me that the Bengals, if they don't 2147 01:58:16.239 --> 01:58:17.880 have a whole lot of leverage about pulling the plug 2148 01:58:17.920 --> 01:58:21.199 and leaving town, need to think about their own reputation 2149 01:58:21.359 --> 01:58:24.000 and loyalty to the fans. The good will needs to 2150 01:58:24.000 --> 01:58:26.119 be established and that's where their own money should come in. 2151 01:58:26.279 --> 01:58:29.039 Or maybe they should pair back these what I consider 2152 01:58:29.079 --> 01:58:30.800 outrageous demands for upgrades. 2153 01:58:32.880 --> 01:58:34.920 I mean, Brian, you couldn't have you couldn't have really 2154 01:58:34.960 --> 01:58:38.119 said that any better, and you know, I think that's 2155 01:58:38.199 --> 01:58:43.239 where the I think that's there's a real crossroads here. 2156 01:58:43.279 --> 01:58:47.239 And you know, where does when you think about taxpayers 2157 01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:51.920 and a lot of those taxpayers are also fans, and 2158 01:58:52.000 --> 01:58:54.800 so then where where does that you know, where does 2159 01:58:54.840 --> 01:58:57.319 that kind of nexus meet there in terms of, yeah, 2160 01:58:57.359 --> 01:58:59.600 you want the NFL in your town, but I'm also 2161 01:58:59.760 --> 01:59:03.560 like taxpayer in Hamilton County and this is an incredibly 2162 01:59:03.600 --> 01:59:07.000 expensive and we got a bad deal last time, which 2163 01:59:07.319 --> 01:59:08.920 you know, we can sit here and we can yell 2164 01:59:08.960 --> 01:59:12.439 at the Bengals and yeah, do I think that they 2165 01:59:12.439 --> 01:59:15.000 need to pour more money into it? Absolutely? Do I 2166 01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:17.920 think the county uh you know, didn't get the best 2167 01:59:17.920 --> 01:59:21.159 deal for the tax payers last time around. 2168 01:59:21.239 --> 01:59:21.800 Absolutely? 2169 01:59:22.760 --> 01:59:28.760 Lightly, Yeah, I mean, and and so that there is 2170 01:59:28.800 --> 01:59:30.920 a there's an absolute prem when you look around the 2171 01:59:31.000 --> 01:59:35.039 NFL and what when it comes to new stadiums and 2172 01:59:35.039 --> 01:59:39.479 and look, hey, I guess I give the Bengals credit, 2173 01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:42.479 like they're not asking for a new stadium, whereas in 2174 01:59:42.520 --> 01:59:44.640 Tennessee they did ask for a new stadium, and their 2175 01:59:44.640 --> 01:59:47.039 stadium there is only a year older than ours, and 2176 01:59:47.079 --> 01:59:48.840 they're getting a new stadium in Nashville. 2177 01:59:49.640 --> 01:59:49.880 And so. 2178 01:59:52.079 --> 01:59:55.840 Yeah, yeah, and but typically what I've seen in Nashville 2179 01:59:55.920 --> 02:00:00.239 and in Buffalo, it's been about a sixty forty the 2180 02:00:00.479 --> 02:00:05.680 public money forty private money. There's the new wave of 2181 02:00:06.279 --> 02:00:09.960 stadiums now or there's more state money going into and 2182 02:00:10.039 --> 02:00:12.159 so I think there's this there's a lot of talk 2183 02:00:12.239 --> 02:00:16.439 about more state money this time around. Obviously the Cleveland 2184 02:00:16.520 --> 02:00:20.439 Browns are looking at a new stadium, then there's talk 2185 02:00:20.479 --> 02:00:23.520 about giving them more state money. So I certainly think 2186 02:00:23.560 --> 02:00:27.199 you're going to see a lot bigger burden carried by 2187 02:00:27.239 --> 02:00:30.880 the state government this time around. And you know, and 2188 02:00:30.920 --> 02:00:34.119 in the Bengals stadium, and but it all it's like, 2189 02:00:34.600 --> 02:00:37.000 we still don't know what the Bengals are willing to pay. 2190 02:00:37.039 --> 02:00:39.560 They're gonna have to be willing to pay a lot 2191 02:00:39.640 --> 02:00:42.720 more than they paid last time. Percentage well, obviously when 2192 02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:44.960 it comes to raw number, they're going to but when 2193 02:00:44.960 --> 02:00:47.960 it comes to we're talking about percentage here, because the 2194 02:00:48.039 --> 02:00:51.600 upgrades are going to cost more than what it costs 2195 02:00:51.600 --> 02:00:53.680 to actually originally build the stadium. 2196 02:00:53.720 --> 02:00:53.920 I know. 2197 02:00:54.680 --> 02:00:56.960 And when I every time I hear that, Jason, it 2198 02:00:57.119 --> 02:01:01.239 just blows my mind again. It functions fine. And the 2199 02:01:01.279 --> 02:01:02.920 wave of the future I think is for me to 2200 02:01:02.960 --> 02:01:06.840 sit in the basement on a giant screen, great resolution TV, 2201 02:01:07.039 --> 02:01:10.119 drinking three dollars beer as opposed to fifteen dollars beer 2202 02:01:10.079 --> 02:01:13.239 and not having to occur parking, and you know, I 2203 02:01:13.239 --> 02:01:16.039 don't know, it's just it's all shocking to me. Jason. 2204 02:01:16.079 --> 02:01:18.800 I'm glad you're staying on top of it. Cincinnati dot 2205 02:01:18.840 --> 02:01:21.039 Com is where you find since they enquire online and 2206 02:01:21.279 --> 02:01:23.479 read what Jason has to write in sports, and Jason, 2207 02:01:23.600 --> 02:01:25.520 You're always welcome here on the fifty five KRC Morgings Show. 2208 02:01:25.520 --> 02:01:28.039 You get any other details or developments on these negotiations, 2209 02:01:28.279 --> 02:01:29.720 you know you've got a spot to talk about it, 2210 02:01:29.760 --> 02:01:31.119 and I welcome you back at any time. 2211 02:01:31.880 --> 02:01:34.800 Bellie County is in a past All hands on, Jess 2212 02:01:34.960 --> 02:01:38.199 is a crew tragedy, get the news right here, bring 2213 02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:44.279 people up to date on fifty five Karcia eight. 2214 02:01:44.199 --> 02:01:46.279 Oh six to fifty five KRC detalk station.

Yes, of course, Donald Trump back 2217 02:01:53.800 --> 02:01:55.319 where he belongs as PARSI of the United States of 2218 02:01:55.359 --> 02:01:59.039 America to talk about the inauguration, other matters, including the 2219 02:01:59.079 --> 02:02:01.279 pardons we needed discussed. Welcome back, to the fifty five 2220 02:02:01.359 --> 02:02:03.119 Kersey Morning Show. It's time for the Insight Scoop with 2221 02:02:03.159 --> 02:02:06.760 bright Bart News political editor Bradley Jay. Hey, welcome back 2222 02:02:06.760 --> 02:02:08.840 to the program. It's a pleasure to heave you on today. 2223 02:02:10.159 --> 02:02:12.039 Great to be with you. It's an exciting town. 2224 02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:15.039 There's no question, oh, without without a doubt. I mean, 2225 02:02:15.079 --> 02:02:18.199 I quite literally feel as though weight has been lifted 2226 02:02:18.199 --> 02:02:20.760 off of me. I obviously was very worried as many were, 2227 02:02:21.159 --> 02:02:24.159 about Kamala Harris actually maybe scoring a victory. But what 2228 02:02:24.199 --> 02:02:27.600 a landslide was for Donald Trump, and that in and 2229 02:02:27.640 --> 02:02:29.840 of itself was the weight that was lifted, since the 2230 02:02:29.920 --> 02:02:32.479 left isn't running around in the streets demanding the repeal 2231 02:02:33.920 --> 02:02:37.439 a constitutional change to the electoral college, which you know 2232 02:02:37.479 --> 02:02:39.439 would have come had he not won the popular vote. 2233 02:02:39.479 --> 02:02:42.760 But I presume you watched all the affairs, all the 2234 02:02:43.000 --> 02:02:44.479 pomp and circumstance yesterday. 2235 02:02:45.720 --> 02:02:48.319 Oh absolutely, we were right here in the sick of it, 2236 02:02:48.600 --> 02:02:50.560 sticking it out in the cold. 2237 02:02:50.880 --> 02:02:51.680 I haven't spent a lot. 2238 02:02:51.600 --> 02:02:54.720 Of time in Ohio, but look these Alabama bones. 2239 02:02:54.840 --> 02:02:56.000 They didn't do. 2240 02:02:56.119 --> 02:02:57.439 Well in that kind of weather. 2241 02:02:58.399 --> 02:03:00.600 But we didn't let it slow with day. It was 2242 02:03:01.079 --> 02:03:05.600 crowds everywhere people were up all night. I mean yeah, 2243 02:03:05.600 --> 02:03:06.840 I mean, give me a break. Would you have thought 2244 02:03:06.880 --> 02:03:10.880 that eight years ago you'd have thousands and thousands of 2245 02:03:10.920 --> 02:03:13.199 Americans celebrating Donald Trump for. 2246 02:03:14.720 --> 02:03:15.600 The elections of the White. 2247 02:03:15.479 --> 02:03:18.279 House with Nelly performing a concert. I mean, give me 2248 02:03:18.319 --> 02:03:21.600 a break. We are entering a new golden age. We're 2249 02:03:21.640 --> 02:03:24.720 winning the culture war, We're winning. 2250 02:03:24.439 --> 02:03:25.520 The political war. 2251 02:03:26.399 --> 02:03:29.880 It is a transformational time right now, and you can 2252 02:03:29.920 --> 02:03:31.720 feel that energy here at Washington. 2253 02:03:32.159 --> 02:03:34.479 Well, and Donald Trump didn't pull any punches during his 2254 02:03:34.840 --> 02:03:38.720 speech after being sworn in yesterday. I thought it slightly 2255 02:03:38.720 --> 02:03:42.159 amusing and really unexpected that he he didn't pull any 2256 02:03:42.199 --> 02:03:45.600 punches in terms of condemning the last four years in 2257 02:03:45.640 --> 02:03:48.800 the Biden administration, with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over 2258 02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:49.840 his left shoulder there. 2259 02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:55.039 Well, to hear him say it late last night at 2260 02:03:55.079 --> 02:03:58.359 the inaugural ball, I was at I believe Trump arrived 2261 02:03:58.600 --> 02:03:59.720 sometime around. 2262 02:03:59.479 --> 02:04:00.279 Eleven o'clo block. 2263 02:04:00.800 --> 02:04:04.279 He was talking about how JD and his family had 2264 02:04:04.399 --> 02:04:08.520 encouraged him to through a few paragraphs, so they must 2265 02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:13.159 have been they must have been quite pointed if he 2266 02:04:13.319 --> 02:04:16.399 determined that they were too touugh on Biden, because goodness, 2267 02:04:16.399 --> 02:04:19.800 you're right. He did not shy away from pointing out 2268 02:04:19.840 --> 02:04:23.239 just the legacy of ashes that Joe Biden is going 2269 02:04:23.319 --> 02:04:26.479 to leave behind. And he was just three or four 2270 02:04:26.520 --> 02:04:27.479 feet away from him. 2271 02:04:27.520 --> 02:04:27.720 I know. 2272 02:04:28.039 --> 02:04:31.319 Trump was talking about how he won all the seven 2273 02:04:31.359 --> 02:04:34.600 swing states in an electoral rock. Kama was sitting there 2274 02:04:34.640 --> 02:04:37.479 just staring at him. It was just absolutely delicious and 2275 02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:39.119 it was vinage Trump, no question. 2276 02:04:39.520 --> 02:04:42.079 Yeah. And also I have to say, you know, aside 2277 02:04:42.079 --> 02:04:44.880 from the point of comments, but after being sworn in 2278 02:04:45.079 --> 02:04:48.760 and giving his remarks, how refreshing it was to have 2279 02:04:48.840 --> 02:04:51.960 the president of the United States of America actually engage 2280 02:04:52.000 --> 02:04:57.640 in a lengthy Q and a process off script, no monitor, teleprompter, 2281 02:04:59.760 --> 02:05:01.359 since it's been so long since we had a president 2282 02:05:01.399 --> 02:05:03.680 would do that. I mean, Joe Biden would hide from everyone, 2283 02:05:03.760 --> 02:05:05.960 never answer questions. And of course we all understand the 2284 02:05:05.960 --> 02:05:08.880 reason is he was cognitively impaired, as we finally found out. 2285 02:05:08.920 --> 02:05:11.079 But I just thought it was really nice that he 2286 02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:12.399 was willing to engage so much. 2287 02:05:13.720 --> 02:05:14.920 It's the it's the weive. 2288 02:05:15.039 --> 02:05:16.720 It's the weive, isn't that what he calls? 2289 02:05:16.760 --> 02:05:16.880 Hi? 2290 02:05:16.920 --> 02:05:17.079 Yeah? 2291 02:05:17.079 --> 02:05:19.920 And he goes in all these different directions that are 2292 02:05:19.960 --> 02:05:23.279 apps it up. Joe Biden could never and everyone knows that, 2293 02:05:23.560 --> 02:05:27.520 and it honestly, it really is in some way sad 2294 02:05:28.119 --> 02:05:30.199 to see how Joe. 2295 02:05:29.960 --> 02:05:32.279 Biden is going to be remembered, Uh. 2296 02:05:32.199 --> 02:05:35.840 If he wasn't so corrupt, but he confirmed his corruption 2297 02:05:36.000 --> 02:05:40.359 with the pardons over these last couple of days and 2298 02:05:40.399 --> 02:05:44.199 weeks in the White House. This is a family that 2299 02:05:45.079 --> 02:05:49.279 is built upon corruption. My colleague Peter Schweizer has called 2300 02:05:49.760 --> 02:05:54.960 the five members of Biden's family who he pardoned uh yesterday, 2301 02:05:55.239 --> 02:05:58.560 the Biden five. I mean that they're they're a crown family. 2302 02:05:58.600 --> 02:06:00.720 Not that that's. 2303 02:05:59.880 --> 02:06:03.720 A that even include Hunter, he also pardoned going back 2304 02:06:03.760 --> 02:06:08.560 to twenty fourteen when he started getting involved in Barisma 2305 02:06:08.600 --> 02:06:15.119 in Ukraine. So it's sad, it's tragic, but there is. 2306 02:06:16.079 --> 02:06:18.520 But the Bidens are bad people. 2307 02:06:18.640 --> 02:06:21.279 The Bidens are bad people, There's no question about it, 2308 02:06:21.399 --> 02:06:23.760 especially when you look at what they tried to pull 2309 02:06:23.840 --> 02:06:27.640 on the American people by hiding Joe Biden's condition and 2310 02:06:27.760 --> 02:06:30.640 forcing another four years on the American people. They always 2311 02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:34.039 put themselves above the American people. Don't ever let them try. 2312 02:06:33.840 --> 02:06:36.079 To tell you otherwise, no question about it. And my 2313 02:06:36.159 --> 02:06:40.039 listeners are painfully aware of the details and the Biden Antics, 2314 02:06:40.039 --> 02:06:42.760 including Hunter Biden, and you know, the lies of the 2315 02:06:42.800 --> 02:06:45.159 American people that were told over and over and over again. 2316 02:06:45.239 --> 02:06:45.920 I saw that. 2317 02:06:47.479 --> 02:06:50.520 Trump took the security of clearance away from the fifty 2318 02:06:50.560 --> 02:06:53.800 one signatures on that letter saying that Hunter Biden's laptop 2319 02:06:53.840 --> 02:06:57.199 had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. When you know it, 2320 02:06:57.239 --> 02:06:59.520 and I know it, the FBI had that and already 2321 02:06:59.560 --> 02:07:03.159 verified it's it's it's legitimacy, and it's the fact that 2322 02:07:03.199 --> 02:07:07.079 it truly was Hunter Biden's laptop. So I I you 2323 02:07:07.119 --> 02:07:11.239 know again that weight's been lifted. Do you do you 2324 02:07:11.239 --> 02:07:14.039 think Donald over overstated his case? I mean, the litany 2325 02:07:14.039 --> 02:07:17.680 of things he promised to accomplish seems like an insurmountable hurdle. 2326 02:07:17.720 --> 02:07:20.680 I guess I'm just kind of wondering. Did he perhaps 2327 02:07:20.720 --> 02:07:21.399 over promise? 2328 02:07:23.239 --> 02:07:25.640 I don't think so. There's a lot of work to do, 2329 02:07:25.760 --> 02:07:29.199 There's no question. It does seem like everyone is on 2330 02:07:29.359 --> 02:07:32.359 board for now. There's unsity in the party in a 2331 02:07:32.399 --> 02:07:34.680 way that there was. There's just not in twenty seventeen. 2332 02:07:34.760 --> 02:07:39.560 It was such an unholy marriage between Trump and the 2333 02:07:39.600 --> 02:07:43.079 Republican Party. He is he is the pattern familiars. Now 2334 02:07:43.279 --> 02:07:46.079 it is a different world. And look, I mean I 2335 02:07:46.199 --> 02:07:49.119 was that one of one of the balls last night 2336 02:07:49.199 --> 02:07:53.039 and Jason Aldean is playing. Everyone's so excited. But yes, 2337 02:07:53.239 --> 02:07:55.520 people start whispering back and forth. Did you see that 2338 02:07:55.560 --> 02:07:57.640 Donald Trump just sign an executive. 2339 02:07:57.239 --> 02:07:59.560 Order to remove us from the W two. 2340 02:07:59.399 --> 02:07:59.960 And all this stuff. 2341 02:08:00.720 --> 02:08:03.880 Everyone was just as excited about what Trump was doing 2342 02:08:03.920 --> 02:08:07.119 as the actual celebration. There's a reason that Trump won. 2343 02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:11.279 It's because he did promise to go bold. That's how 2344 02:08:11.319 --> 02:08:15.279 you bring this nation into a new golden age. It 2345 02:08:15.319 --> 02:08:18.399 isn't just to sit on your throne of power like 2346 02:08:18.479 --> 02:08:21.640 Joe Biden has done has done for so long. There's 2347 02:08:21.720 --> 02:08:24.239 a lot of work that needs to be done and 2348 02:08:24.319 --> 02:08:28.000 Trump is aiming high and I'm excited to see if 2349 02:08:28.039 --> 02:08:30.680 he can keep up this pace. But I mean, you 2350 02:08:30.760 --> 02:08:34.520 can just feel it in Washington. There was never this 2351 02:08:34.600 --> 02:08:38.560 kind of this kind of buzz and enthusiasm during his 2352 02:08:38.600 --> 02:08:39.319 first term. 2353 02:08:39.800 --> 02:08:40.920 So rock and roll and. 2354 02:08:41.159 --> 02:08:43.560 Then get to get on board because there's a lot 2355 02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:44.760 of winning that's coming ahead. 2356 02:08:44.960 --> 02:08:47.399 Yeah, and I'm glad you made the observation with the 2357 02:08:47.439 --> 02:08:50.319 Republican Party and it's certain to be far more unified 2358 02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:52.199 than the first term. We know what to expect. We 2359 02:08:52.239 --> 02:08:54.640 know what he delivered on last time, and of course 2360 02:08:54.720 --> 02:08:59.640 he so thoroughly thrashed Kamala Harrison the election, there's reason 2361 02:08:59.800 --> 02:09:03.479 to rally around Trump. So the never Trumper people that 2362 02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:06.199 existed in large numbers in the Republican Party, I guess 2363 02:09:06.279 --> 02:09:09.399 have probably learned their lesson and are no longer of 2364 02:09:09.399 --> 02:09:10.119 that mindset. 2365 02:09:11.720 --> 02:09:12.720 Well, look, if you're. 2366 02:09:12.600 --> 02:09:16.560 A Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski in the Senate who 2367 02:09:17.680 --> 02:09:20.560 made a big point out of plushing your pearls and 2368 02:09:20.600 --> 02:09:23.960 saying that you wouldn't vote for Donald Trump, do they 2369 02:09:24.000 --> 02:09:27.039 want to be a part of the governing majority in 2370 02:09:27.159 --> 02:09:29.199 Washington or do they want to be on the sideline. 2371 02:09:29.479 --> 02:09:33.000 So really it's in their own interest to get on board. 2372 02:09:33.119 --> 02:09:35.920 And you're right the way that Donald Trump just absolutely 2373 02:09:36.479 --> 02:09:41.239 thrashed kam Law It was such a rejection of all 2374 02:09:41.279 --> 02:09:48.079 of this nonsense, wokeism. All these cultural policies are geopolitical 2375 02:09:48.199 --> 02:09:51.520 weakness obviously the economy and the border. 2376 02:09:51.560 --> 02:09:53.119 I mean, this was such. 2377 02:09:52.960 --> 02:09:58.079 A total rejection of everything that Democrats said for And 2378 02:09:58.119 --> 02:10:00.680 now they are really out in the political wilderness. 2379 02:10:00.880 --> 02:10:02.960 Uh, Who's who is their leader right now? 2380 02:10:03.119 --> 02:10:07.039 It's not Kamala It's It's not Gavin Newsom, he's out 2381 02:10:07.079 --> 02:10:08.199 burning his state down. 2382 02:10:08.600 --> 02:10:08.760 Uh. 2383 02:10:08.800 --> 02:10:11.159 It's not gonna be Truck Schumer or anybody like that, 2384 02:10:11.479 --> 02:10:15.000 is it AOC? I certainly don't think so. So the 2385 02:10:15.119 --> 02:10:19.680 resistance is resigned to Trump in so many ways, and 2386 02:10:19.760 --> 02:10:24.399 that's contributed to just the uh, the the energy around 2387 02:10:24.479 --> 02:10:28.640 Trump because look, I mean it's what George Wallace said 2388 02:10:28.680 --> 02:10:31.520 in my home state used to always say, Uh, look, 2389 02:10:31.560 --> 02:10:33.800 I'd rather somebody tell me that they think I'm gonna win, 2390 02:10:34.039 --> 02:10:34.880 that they're gonna. 2391 02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:35.279 Vote for me. 2392 02:10:35.680 --> 02:10:39.840 Uh, just because if if folks that you're gonna win there, 2393 02:10:39.920 --> 02:10:42.479 they want to get on board that that's a that's 2394 02:10:42.520 --> 02:10:44.359 a sign that you know, folks, folks want to be 2395 02:10:44.399 --> 02:10:48.239 with a winner. And right now Donald Trump is a winner. 2396 02:10:48.640 --> 02:10:48.880 Uh. 2397 02:10:48.920 --> 02:10:52.159 And we'll see if that momentum can laugh in Congress. 2398 02:10:52.600 --> 02:10:52.960 Uh. 2399 02:10:53.359 --> 02:10:58.079 I'm optimistic, certainly with these these confirmation battles, it seems 2400 02:10:58.079 --> 02:11:02.720 like Republicans, Uh, some of the the squishier ones are 2401 02:11:02.840 --> 02:11:04.239 coming coming around. 2402 02:11:04.800 --> 02:11:05.039 Uh. 2403 02:11:05.119 --> 02:11:07.800 So it's it's it's just excuse me, it's a different 2404 02:11:07.800 --> 02:11:09.800 ballgame than it was eight years ago. 2405 02:11:10.039 --> 02:11:10.159 Uh. 2406 02:11:10.640 --> 02:11:15.520 With out of doubt, I really truly believe uh that 2407 02:11:15.720 --> 02:11:19.279 we we will never see we've we've never seen anything 2408 02:11:19.359 --> 02:11:21.600 before like we're about to see in Washington. 2409 02:11:21.680 --> 02:11:21.840 D C. 2410 02:11:22.279 --> 02:11:24.800 Well, I love your optimism. Bradley J. Politics Center for 2411 02:11:24.840 --> 02:11:25.399 Bright Bart. 2412 02:11:25.560 --> 02:11:28.520 I saw that Marco Rubio got unanimously confirmed by the Senate, 2413 02:11:28.600 --> 02:11:31.960 so first cabinet pick approved, and uh, I thought that 2414 02:11:32.319 --> 02:11:35.239 was a good thing, highly regarded even by Democrats who 2415 02:11:35.479 --> 02:11:37.239 you know, had positive things to say about them during 2416 02:11:37.239 --> 02:11:40.039 the Senate hearings, but pivoting over to the other cabinet 2417 02:11:40.079 --> 02:11:45.399 positions and generally legislation, recognizing that Trump did have a 2418 02:11:45.520 --> 02:11:49.800 huge win obvious for all the obvious reasons border woke politics, Dee. I, 2419 02:11:50.239 --> 02:11:52.039 that's the wrong side of the politics to be on. 2420 02:11:52.119 --> 02:11:54.960 Do you think any Democrats in this let's say the Senate, 2421 02:11:55.000 --> 02:11:59.680 for example, perhaps will be less obstructionists when it comes 2422 02:11:59.680 --> 02:12:03.520 to past legislation, recognizing their constituents or probably on board 2423 02:12:03.560 --> 02:12:07.560 with it, you know, assuming it's not something radical conservative. 2424 02:12:07.640 --> 02:12:09.399 But do you think Donald Trump's going to have an 2425 02:12:09.399 --> 02:12:12.239 easier time getting things actually passed by way of laws. 2426 02:12:13.079 --> 02:12:15.680 Well, the Democrats aren't going to roll over, but I 2427 02:12:15.720 --> 02:12:17.960 do think that they are going to pick their battles 2428 02:12:18.239 --> 02:12:22.119 much more carefully this time. Again, like the resistance has 2429 02:12:22.159 --> 02:12:25.920 resigned to Donald Trump, especially after the type of electoral 2430 02:12:26.479 --> 02:12:29.279 rots that he had. If you look at what the 2431 02:12:29.319 --> 02:12:32.079 Senate just did with passing the Lake and Riley at Yeah, 2432 02:12:32.199 --> 02:12:36.279 I mean, I think it's been over three decades since 2433 02:12:36.399 --> 02:12:42.399 the Senate has passed any kind of significant standalone border 2434 02:12:42.800 --> 02:12:46.239 security or immigration bill, and you had Democrats get on 2435 02:12:46.319 --> 02:12:50.720 board to move that. That's this is a battle or 2436 02:12:50.960 --> 02:12:53.800 this is an issue that Democrats would not have engaged 2437 02:12:53.880 --> 02:12:56.720 in working with Republicans in the. 2438 02:12:57.039 --> 02:12:58.000 Past few years. 2439 02:12:58.960 --> 02:13:01.520 The fact that they did it out of political necessity, 2440 02:13:02.479 --> 02:13:05.840 I mean, we need to recognize that. I don't think 2441 02:13:05.880 --> 02:13:11.880 that they're converts overnight. But again, everything that Donald Trump 2442 02:13:11.960 --> 02:13:15.840 did on election Day was a rejection of every single 2443 02:13:16.159 --> 02:13:19.720 thing that Democrats have been fighting for. I don't think 2444 02:13:19.760 --> 02:13:24.159 that they know exactly what form the resistance or what 2445 02:13:24.239 --> 02:13:26.920 have you, is going to take in the next couple 2446 02:13:26.960 --> 02:13:30.479 of years. I do think that they will get it 2447 02:13:30.479 --> 02:13:33.640 figured out, at least on some level, But for now, 2448 02:13:34.560 --> 02:13:37.840 I think they're just trying to kind of figure it 2449 02:13:37.840 --> 02:13:40.239 out as they as they go because the party is 2450 02:13:40.319 --> 02:13:43.920 in such disarray. So I'm optimistic that there will be 2451 02:13:44.359 --> 02:13:48.520 some additional legislative wins. We are going to be able 2452 02:13:48.520 --> 02:13:52.680 to get everything through that sixty vote over that sixty 2453 02:13:52.720 --> 02:13:55.920 vote threshold in the Senate. But the fact that Democrats 2454 02:13:56.000 --> 02:13:58.439 chose to engage on the Lake. 2455 02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:01.199 And Riley Act and pasites very very encouraging. 2456 02:14:01.239 --> 02:14:03.399 Sound well and going back to the pardon before we 2457 02:14:03.439 --> 02:14:06.600 part company today, And I really enjoyed our conversation this morning, Bradley. 2458 02:14:07.439 --> 02:14:10.840 The I do believe that Trump gets some measure of 2459 02:14:10.960 --> 02:14:14.399 cover given Joe Biden pardoned his entire crime family and 2460 02:14:14.479 --> 02:14:17.520 Fauci and Schiff and the rest of the Jay six committee. 2461 02:14:18.680 --> 02:14:21.079 Donald Trump followed through with his pledge. He pardoned the 2462 02:14:21.159 --> 02:14:24.800 J six UH protesters pretty much across the board, with 2463 02:14:24.840 --> 02:14:26.920 a couple of exceptions. My understanding. 2464 02:14:28.039 --> 02:14:30.680 There there were there were a lot of hot fives 2465 02:14:30.800 --> 02:14:37.199 and celebrations and tears last night. Uh that Donald Trump 2466 02:14:37.279 --> 02:14:39.039 delivered on that campaign promise. 2467 02:14:39.479 --> 02:14:39.680 UH. 2468 02:14:39.760 --> 02:14:43.800 And remember President elect Biden. Uh, he had expressed his 2469 02:14:44.159 --> 02:14:47.960 concerns with preemptive pardons and talked about how how the 2470 02:14:48.000 --> 02:14:50.479 world would look at us if we engage in something 2471 02:14:50.520 --> 02:14:50.840 of that. 2472 02:14:51.399 --> 02:14:51.600 Uh. 2473 02:14:51.640 --> 02:14:53.159 He said, You're not going to see that kind of 2474 02:14:53.159 --> 02:14:56.880 approach to pardons from my administration. Well, we saw it Uh, 2475 02:14:56.920 --> 02:14:58.680 and it was much worse that we could have ever 2476 02:14:59.199 --> 02:15:02.439 ever thought. President like Biden was talking about how, oh 2477 02:15:02.479 --> 02:15:06.279 my DOJ is going to be so honorable and won't 2478 02:15:06.319 --> 02:15:10.159 pursue any of that politicization. Yeah, right, I think that 2479 02:15:10.279 --> 02:15:15.239 Donald Trump, the record clearly shows otherwise with what they 2480 02:15:15.279 --> 02:15:19.720 did to him. So it's I think it's a tragic 2481 02:15:19.840 --> 02:15:22.880 story of what happened to Joe Biden, but it's well 2482 02:15:22.920 --> 02:15:25.960 deserved and I'm excited about this new age in this nation. 2483 02:15:26.319 --> 02:15:28.520 Yeah, and just I mean in terms of record is concerned. 2484 02:15:28.560 --> 02:15:32.239 It's really amazing how polar opposite the positions are relating 2485 02:15:32.239 --> 02:15:34.760 to pardons, depending on which point in time you ask someone. 2486 02:15:34.800 --> 02:15:38.560 Adam Schiff, recipient of a pardon, was all against them 2487 02:15:38.560 --> 02:15:41.039 back in twenty twenty, and he's firmly on the record saying, 2488 02:15:41.039 --> 02:15:44.119 you know, this is just should not ever happen. And 2489 02:15:44.159 --> 02:15:47.279 lo and behold he gets his own. It's amazing. It's 2490 02:15:47.279 --> 02:15:50.920 been a real pleasure having you on the program. Politics Editor, 2491 02:15:50.920 --> 02:15:53.399 Bright bar Bookmarket. You'll be happy you did.

Welcome back, 2512 02:16:51.399 --> 02:16:52.959 Daniel David. It's always a pleasure to have you on 2513 02:16:53.000 --> 02:16:55.959 my program. It's always a pleasure to be here. Brian, 2514 02:16:56.000 --> 02:16:59.239 thanks for having me. Well, let's start with the Israel 2515 02:16:59.280 --> 02:17:03.319 Palestinian prisoner exchange. They entered into a ceasefire agreement. Some 2516 02:17:03.360 --> 02:17:05.840 of the hostages have been released. I guess I kind 2517 02:17:05.840 --> 02:17:07.840 of been wondering in the back of my head. The 2518 02:17:07.959 --> 02:17:11.639 status of the hostages is largely unknown. We do know 2519 02:17:11.719 --> 02:17:14.559 that some of many of them have died, But do 2520 02:17:14.639 --> 02:17:17.120 we have a head count on how many remain alive 2521 02:17:17.280 --> 02:17:19.520 and how soon will they all be released? And I 2522 02:17:19.520 --> 02:17:22.559 guess a more broad question because I have no faith 2523 02:17:22.559 --> 02:17:26.200 that this ceasefire agreement is going to remain. I just 2524 02:17:26.239 --> 02:17:28.879 think the Hamas is gonna just tank it. But what's 2525 02:17:28.920 --> 02:17:31.120 your take on where we stand on that one, Daniel. 2526 02:17:31.520 --> 02:17:36.239 Yeah, we don't know to your question, there head count, 2527 02:17:36.360 --> 02:17:38.719 We don't know who's live, who's not, how many are there. 2528 02:17:40.079 --> 02:17:44.360 The Hamasa has intentionally kept that vague to continue to 2529 02:17:44.360 --> 02:17:46.639 give themselves leverage. One of the things they're afraid of 2530 02:17:46.799 --> 02:17:49.239 is if they just gave all the hostages back in 2531 02:17:49.360 --> 02:17:53.239 one big passage, then all their leverage is gone and 2532 02:17:53.280 --> 02:17:56.360 there's nothing to stop Israel from returning to the fight. 2533 02:17:56.440 --> 02:17:58.520 And that's one of the things they continue to be 2534 02:17:58.760 --> 02:18:01.159 very worried about so that's why they've kind of spread 2535 02:18:01.200 --> 02:18:02.840 it out over a long period of time that I 2536 02:18:02.879 --> 02:18:07.360 think the plan is three hostages every seven days until 2537 02:18:07.360 --> 02:18:09.360 it's six weeks than all the rest of the hostages 2538 02:18:09.360 --> 02:18:11.120 are supposed to be released, and there'll be a big 2539 02:18:11.319 --> 02:18:13.079 whatever is left after that, there will be in a 2540 02:18:13.120 --> 02:18:16.760 big push into phase two allegedly if the thing gets 2541 02:18:16.799 --> 02:18:20.879 that far. It's been a bit of a problem because 2542 02:18:21.319 --> 02:18:27.440 the ceasefi has really shown how Hezbolay has really weathered 2543 02:18:27.440 --> 02:18:29.959 this storm much better even than I thought that they would. 2544 02:18:30.680 --> 02:18:32.719 In their tunnel systems. They have rebuilt a lot of 2545 02:18:32.719 --> 02:18:35.840 the tunnel systems. You actually had a secretary blinking on 2546 02:18:35.879 --> 02:18:38.040 the way out admit that Hamas had. 2547 02:18:37.920 --> 02:18:39.840 Almost completely rebuilt its strength. 2548 02:18:39.920 --> 02:18:44.079 So it is really a stunning development that Israel is 2549 02:18:44.120 --> 02:18:46.840 no closer to success today than they were before then. 2550 02:18:47.040 --> 02:18:49.239 And I think that in many ways the Israeli side 2551 02:18:49.280 --> 02:18:52.280 needed this cease far more than the Hamas side did. 2552 02:18:52.280 --> 02:18:54.399 But I suspect that both sides are going to use 2553 02:18:54.399 --> 02:18:57.120 the opportunity to rebuild their strength. So to your point, 2554 02:18:57.280 --> 02:18:58.719 I don't see any evidence this is going to be 2555 02:18:58.760 --> 02:19:02.360 over anytime soon, but at least thankfully for the people 2556 02:19:02.399 --> 02:19:06.719 of Palestine. The daily killing has at least temporarily stopped. 2557 02:19:07.120 --> 02:19:09.719 Yeah, and I guess part of me wonders what the 2558 02:19:10.079 --> 02:19:12.600 political reality will be in the stability of the ceasefire 2559 02:19:12.680 --> 02:19:17.399 arrangement if more of the hostages have actually been killed 2560 02:19:17.959 --> 02:19:21.159 and there really aren't that many left remaining to you know, 2561 02:19:21.239 --> 02:19:24.920 hand back over that, that situation sounds like it might 2562 02:19:24.959 --> 02:19:28.799 be a politically volatile in terms of this the relationship 2563 02:19:28.799 --> 02:19:29.639 being lasting or not. 2564 02:19:30.399 --> 02:19:33.440 Yeah, the only thing that mitigated against it is that 2565 02:19:33.479 --> 02:19:36.959 everybody's very aware that possibly as many as half of 2566 02:19:37.000 --> 02:19:40.239 the remaining hostages that they've identified are probably not alive. 2567 02:19:40.319 --> 02:19:43.520 So it won't shock anyone, but especially for the family members. 2568 02:19:43.559 --> 02:19:45.920 They they all most of them are saying that they're 2569 02:19:45.959 --> 02:19:48.319 not well. Not that they don't care, but that that 2570 02:19:48.479 --> 02:19:50.200 one way or know that they want their person back 2571 02:19:50.280 --> 02:19:52.559 no matter what, whether they were alive or dead. 2572 02:19:52.559 --> 02:19:55.040 They just want, you know, the proof or so. Yeah, 2573 02:19:55.120 --> 02:19:58.360 so it's still a big issue there. Well, this I 2574 02:19:58.479 --> 02:20:00.840 was unaware that they had done so much rebuilding. I 2575 02:20:01.079 --> 02:20:04.559 find it almost I'm not questioning your authority or what 2576 02:20:04.600 --> 02:20:07.479 you're saying, but in the midst of this conflict, when 2577 02:20:07.559 --> 02:20:11.120 Israel's presence is fully there that they had the opportunity 2578 02:20:11.120 --> 02:20:13.719 and the ability to rebuild all those tunnels, and with 2579 02:20:13.760 --> 02:20:16.600 the ceasefire agreement in place, they've got all the opportunity 2580 02:20:16.600 --> 02:20:19.959 of the world to continue rebuilding, which means basically, if 2581 02:20:20.000 --> 02:20:21.799 they go back to fighting each other, it sounds like 2582 02:20:21.840 --> 02:20:23.399 both sides are starting at square one. 2583 02:20:25.040 --> 02:20:26.520 Yeah, I mean, honestly, it does. 2584 02:20:26.559 --> 02:20:28.479 And you know, a lot of this was exposed not 2585 02:20:28.600 --> 02:20:30.920 just by Secretary of blinking saying it out loud, but 2586 02:20:31.360 --> 02:20:35.879 Hamas had a parade, an actual parade following the ceasefire 2587 02:20:35.920 --> 02:20:37.120 when it was announced, and a lot of them came 2588 02:20:37.159 --> 02:20:40.120 out of their tunnels, and you know, they're in uniform, 2589 02:20:40.159 --> 02:20:43.239 and they have lots of their equipment, their vehicles, their rockets. 2590 02:20:43.280 --> 02:20:46.280 It shows that they never lost all of their capacity. 2591 02:20:46.319 --> 02:20:49.520 Even though the images on the on the surface look 2592 02:20:49.680 --> 02:20:54.040 literally like a moonscape's shocking the amount of destruction, but 2593 02:20:54.280 --> 02:20:56.360 under the ground, they've weathered that storm. 2594 02:20:56.479 --> 02:20:58.559 Yeah, and I saw a photograph the other day the 2595 02:20:58.680 --> 02:21:02.680 same thing. Just my I fell open. It's just it, 2596 02:21:02.680 --> 02:21:06.600 it's I mean, it's completely in hospitality to people living there. 2597 02:21:06.639 --> 02:21:08.680 There are no buildings, they're all blown up, and they're 2598 02:21:08.680 --> 02:21:12.760 in piles and rubble, and I just just wonder what 2599 02:21:12.879 --> 02:21:14.840 kind of rebuilding effort is going to go on. And 2600 02:21:14.920 --> 02:21:17.319 I mean, can they even rebuild, And where the resource 2601 02:21:17.399 --> 02:21:20.719 is gonna come to rebuild. Yeah. 2602 02:21:20.760 --> 02:21:22.799 You know, a lot of people in America don't know it, 2603 02:21:22.840 --> 02:21:26.680 but in the the Korean War, in the latter stages 2604 02:21:26.680 --> 02:21:28.000 of the Korean War, when we were trying to get 2605 02:21:28.040 --> 02:21:32.639 the the armistice signed, the US Air Force almost literally 2606 02:21:32.719 --> 02:21:37.239 wiped out every village and town in North Korea, turned 2607 02:21:37.280 --> 02:21:40.159 it entirely into rubble. And the same question was there too. 2608 02:21:40.520 --> 02:21:43.079 But the people will find a way to do it. 2609 02:21:43.120 --> 02:21:45.600 There's there's already some talk, especially among the Arabs in 2610 02:21:45.639 --> 02:21:48.159 the Middle East about funding a lot of this. 2611 02:21:48.280 --> 02:21:49.879 Europe is wanting to do some et cetera. 2612 02:21:50.799 --> 02:21:54.479 But it's going to be decades plural before that stuff 2613 02:21:54.520 --> 02:21:56.680 gets done. And and and of course it won't even 2614 02:21:56.680 --> 02:21:59.920 start until there's some kind of political settlement. They won't 2615 02:22:00.280 --> 02:22:03.360 start until then. So it's a long long road to hope. 2616 02:22:03.760 --> 02:22:06.479 Well, of course, pivoting over to the Russia Ukraine situation, 2617 02:22:07.680 --> 02:22:12.200 at least I suppose Ukraine has enough quote unquote resources 2618 02:22:12.200 --> 02:22:15.719 that at least it'll be more financially able to perhaps 2619 02:22:15.719 --> 02:22:18.920 do some rebuilding. They do have the bread basket, they 2620 02:22:18.959 --> 02:22:21.520 have resources. They of course would have some measure of 2621 02:22:21.559 --> 02:22:24.840 support from the NATO countries the European Union, given how 2622 02:22:24.920 --> 02:22:26.879 their proximity. Whether or not they're let in or not 2623 02:22:26.959 --> 02:22:29.479 is a completely different story. But in order to resolve 2624 02:22:29.479 --> 02:22:31.200 that conflict, as you and I have talked about, and 2625 02:22:31.239 --> 02:22:35.360 Donald Trump wants to settle that war, Ukraine's going to 2626 02:22:35.440 --> 02:22:37.200 have to make some major concessions. I mean, it seems 2627 02:22:37.200 --> 02:22:38.520 like Russia has all the cards. 2628 02:22:39.559 --> 02:22:40.719 Well, they really do it. 2629 02:22:40.799 --> 02:22:44.159 And two events over the last since you and I 2630 02:22:44.239 --> 02:22:47.399 were on last have been published that got almost no 2631 02:22:47.520 --> 02:22:49.639 notice here in the West, but that are crucial and 2632 02:22:49.719 --> 02:22:52.520 vital to this, especially as Trump has now assumed office, 2633 02:22:52.879 --> 02:22:56.440 and that on the Ukraine side, you had their General Sersky, 2634 02:22:56.680 --> 02:22:59.879 their commander in chief of the armed forces, admitted that 2635 02:23:00.079 --> 02:23:03.399 they are not even able to force mobilize enough people 2636 02:23:03.399 --> 02:23:07.079 to offset their losses. So we flatly said, we are 2637 02:23:07.360 --> 02:23:11.280 basically our armed forces are shrinking. We suspected this all along, 2638 02:23:11.319 --> 02:23:13.399 but he has now confirmed it. Even if they go 2639 02:23:13.479 --> 02:23:16.000 to eighteen year old and lower the age down to mobilization, 2640 02:23:16.760 --> 02:23:19.200 there simply aren't enough men to be able to offset 2641 02:23:19.200 --> 02:23:21.879 the losses, and they're bringing in thousands every month, but 2642 02:23:21.920 --> 02:23:23.639 they're set their casualties are. 2643 02:23:23.559 --> 02:23:25.200 More than that every single month. 2644 02:23:25.440 --> 02:23:29.120 On the other side, you have their national security Russian 2645 02:23:29.159 --> 02:23:32.719 national security advisor and one of their other senior members 2646 02:23:32.799 --> 02:23:36.479 of their government have said that they planned to they 2647 02:23:36.479 --> 02:23:39.559 have a plan, a resource plan to win the war 2648 02:23:39.920 --> 02:23:41.000 by twenty twenty five. 2649 02:23:41.040 --> 02:23:43.360 So they're already thinking we're gonna get We're not. 2650 02:23:43.399 --> 02:23:45.959 There's not an eminent wind to this, but we're going 2651 02:23:46.040 --> 02:23:48.799 all through twenty twenty five, and we plan on taking 2652 02:23:48.840 --> 02:23:51.200 all four of the territories that they have annexe et cetera, 2653 02:23:52.840 --> 02:23:55.360 deem notzify the government however they want to define that 2654 02:23:55.399 --> 02:23:59.079 et cetera. But that's important because they are not thinking, Hey, 2655 02:23:59.079 --> 02:24:01.159 we want Trump to come in to negotiating into this. 2656 02:24:01.440 --> 02:24:03.559 On the current line of contact, We're going to keep 2657 02:24:03.559 --> 02:24:06.200 going until we have all four of those oblasts. And 2658 02:24:07.520 --> 02:24:10.479 as you just said, they don't have to negotiate an 2659 02:24:10.520 --> 02:24:12.680 into it. They can just keep fighting until they seize 2660 02:24:12.719 --> 02:24:15.600 it by force. But the Ukraine side can't. I mean, 2661 02:24:15.799 --> 02:24:17.479 it's just they don't have the capacity. 2662 02:24:17.920 --> 02:24:20.000 Well, and you know, going back to your comments and 2663 02:24:20.040 --> 02:24:23.319 observations about the North Korean soldiers going to fight in 2664 02:24:23.440 --> 02:24:27.280 that conflict on Russia's side in order to get experience 2665 02:24:28.040 --> 02:24:32.239 and learn how to be effective fighters. If Ukraine is 2666 02:24:32.280 --> 02:24:36.040 basically snatching up every you know, alive male person in 2667 02:24:36.079 --> 02:24:38.360 the country eighteen and up and putting them on the 2668 02:24:38.360 --> 02:24:40.680 front line, so those folks don't have experience, and they're 2669 02:24:40.680 --> 02:24:43.600 more than likely going to be casualties the season fighters, 2670 02:24:43.639 --> 02:24:47.159 the veterans more than likely have been killed already. 2671 02:24:47.200 --> 02:24:50.399 Wouldn't you think, oh, one hundred percent, that's absolutely right. 2672 02:24:50.799 --> 02:24:53.799 And that's a bigger issue than people who don't have 2673 02:24:53.879 --> 02:24:56.959 military experience may realize, because too many times you think, well, 2674 02:24:57.000 --> 02:25:00.479 you'll just mobilize more people and put another fifty thousand uniform. 2675 02:25:00.920 --> 02:25:02.799 But a uniform doesn't make you a soldier. 2676 02:25:02.879 --> 02:25:04.879 It just means you're a civilian who's wearing a uniform 2677 02:25:04.920 --> 02:25:07.360 and here's a rifle, go fire that direction, and they 2678 02:25:07.399 --> 02:25:10.040 have no idea what they're doing. You can't function as 2679 02:25:10.120 --> 02:25:13.840 a as a coherent fighting force unless you have trained 2680 02:25:13.840 --> 02:25:17.040 people at every single level, all the way up, you know, 2681 02:25:17.079 --> 02:25:20.879 from private up to colonel in general or whatever. The Russians, 2682 02:25:20.879 --> 02:25:24.239 because they have more people they've had the luxury of 2683 02:25:24.360 --> 02:25:27.000 training a lot of their guys over many months out 2684 02:25:27.000 --> 02:25:29.799 of contact, and then they'll rotate out people who at 2685 02:25:29.959 --> 02:25:33.639 key leader levels into new units here, so they'll bring 2686 02:25:33.680 --> 02:25:35.799 people back in. So when they have this unit that's 2687 02:25:35.840 --> 02:25:38.360 getting beat down, they'll take the unit out, they'll bring 2688 02:25:38.399 --> 02:25:41.319 a new one back in, and then this is already trained. 2689 02:25:41.559 --> 02:25:43.040 But the Ukraine side they. 2690 02:25:42.920 --> 02:25:46.079 Literally throw everybody that they get into uniform into the 2691 02:25:46.079 --> 02:25:50.239 front lines, almost no training, and that's just militarily unsustainable. 2692 02:25:50.319 --> 02:25:53.440 So that gets into this calculation for Trump as well. 2693 02:25:53.760 --> 02:25:55.920 Now we got a new Secretary of State unanimous who 2694 02:25:55.920 --> 02:25:59.639 confirm yesterday Marco Rubio, and that is that in any 2695 02:25:59.639 --> 02:26:02.719 way shape perform a game changer new president who's wanting 2696 02:26:02.760 --> 02:26:05.479 and desirous of settling the conflict. Marco Rubio at the 2697 02:26:05.479 --> 02:26:08.040 helm here at the State, what do you think about that? 2698 02:26:08.520 --> 02:26:11.239 Well, it definitely is a game changer, without question, because 2699 02:26:11.239 --> 02:26:14.159 the outgoing administration just kept saying for as long as 2700 02:26:14.200 --> 02:26:16.639 it takes, and you know, shoveling money out the door 2701 02:26:17.120 --> 02:26:19.959 on their way out of office, with no strategy, no 2702 02:26:20.040 --> 02:26:23.079 plan whatsoever to how this could result in anything positive. 2703 02:26:23.120 --> 02:26:24.479 At least Trump is coming. 2704 02:26:24.200 --> 02:26:27.959 In both the Secretary of Rubio as well as Trump 2705 02:26:28.040 --> 02:26:31.040 has continued to say we're looking for a negotiated settlement. 2706 02:26:31.120 --> 02:26:33.920 He said Trump said it again last night that yes, 2707 02:26:34.079 --> 02:26:36.639 he says, you know, Russia's hurting, and you know they 2708 02:26:36.680 --> 02:26:38.719 can't just they can They're grinding it out, this is 2709 02:26:38.719 --> 02:26:41.239 the term he used. But he also said, but they 2710 02:26:41.239 --> 02:26:43.959 have more people, so he acknowledges that just the math 2711 02:26:44.159 --> 02:26:46.159 is going to be moving in this direction. So the 2712 02:26:46.200 --> 02:26:48.840 President and Secretary of State are both talking about this 2713 02:26:48.920 --> 02:26:50.840 is going to have to be a negotiated settlement. 2714 02:26:50.920 --> 02:26:54.120 Well, and part of the leverage of getting the Ukrainians 2715 02:26:54.120 --> 02:26:59.159 that negotiate and maybe express a more desire to perhaps 2716 02:26:59.200 --> 02:27:02.399 make these consents if we quit funding them and giving 2717 02:27:02.440 --> 02:27:05.520 them weapons that presents a genuine problem for them. That's 2718 02:27:05.520 --> 02:27:06.360 going to knock them back on that. 2719 02:27:06.680 --> 02:27:08.239 Well, it doesn't. That's that's one of the other things. 2720 02:27:08.280 --> 02:27:10.040 I'm glad you brought that up, because that's one of 2721 02:27:10.239 --> 02:27:13.239 it was surprising too many to include myself, that Trump 2722 02:27:13.239 --> 02:27:16.559 didn't mention Ukraine at all or Russia at all during 2723 02:27:16.600 --> 02:27:19.959 the entire inauguration speech, but he did give some codes 2724 02:27:20.000 --> 02:27:22.280 in there, and he said we're going to stop any 2725 02:27:22.360 --> 02:27:24.920 kind of foreign aid if it can't be shown that 2726 02:27:25.000 --> 02:27:27.159 it actually is in America's interest to do so. And 2727 02:27:27.200 --> 02:27:29.360 I think that was a definite shot across the bow 2728 02:27:29.760 --> 02:27:33.079 to the Ukraine that if we can't see how this 2729 02:27:33.159 --> 02:27:35.120 is going to work, it ain't gonna just keep getting 2730 02:27:35.120 --> 02:27:38.799 shoveled into the furnace like the Algony administration did. And 2731 02:27:39.120 --> 02:27:41.840 I think it's pretty clear where the Trump Administration's going. 2732 02:27:41.959 --> 02:27:44.959 Oh, I think most definitely that's what that was directed toward. 2733 02:27:45.040 --> 02:27:48.920 And of course they have folks in Ukraine closely observing 2734 02:27:48.959 --> 02:27:51.840 and listening and parsing out the words. They got the message, 2735 02:27:51.879 --> 02:27:52.840 and they got the message too. 2736 02:27:52.879 --> 02:27:54.639 I sure you. I've seen you Ukraine and the media 2737 02:27:54.680 --> 02:27:56.079 this morning they got that message. 2738 02:27:56.159 --> 02:27:58.600 Yes, they did.
