Speaker 1: Doge digging out.
Speaker 2: They're doing ahow of a job.
Speaker 1: I can't often for the latest.
Speaker 2: I call it the Force of super Geniuses.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRZ the talk Station, five O five A
Speaker 1: five k r C the Talk Station. Susie Dude, Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Some skin.
Speaker 2: You're fired?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Actually, maybe it's interesting you chose that sound
Speaker 1: by Joe, because that's kind of what I wanted to
Speaker 1: watch into is he at the start of the morning
Speaker 1: show this morning, and a very happy Tuesday to everyone.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, glad to be glad to see
Speaker 1: executive producer Joe Treker where he belongs. And I'm glad
Speaker 1: to see a nice right down thanks to judge director's efforts.
Speaker 1: Ken Cobra, FLP President returns of the program at six thirty. Question,
Speaker 1: what's up with these judges issuing low or un recognizance
Speaker 1: bonds to violent and dangerous purpse legitimate question? Sense a
Speaker 1: problem for the community. I know that, so Ken Cober
Speaker 1: on that topic at six thirty. What we're calling today,
Speaker 1: I guess a special big picture With Jack add and
Speaker 1: giving the UN vote. The other day, the US sided
Speaker 1: with Russia and voting against the resolution that ultimately would
Speaker 1: mean nothing. You know, it's it's you know, it's like
Speaker 1: a resolution of the SINCEI City Council condemning Israel or
Speaker 1: supporting Palestine are like, you know, what impact does that
Speaker 1: have on the world? Nothing? What impact does anything the
Speaker 1: UN has, anything the UN does have on the world,
Speaker 1: probably nothing. And in a case of a resolution like that,
Speaker 1: it just is a statement and a statement of disagreement
Speaker 1: because not everybody agrees to them. So people are really
Speaker 1: upset and they think that this is some sort of
Speaker 1: collusion with between Trump and Putin. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: question is Trump colluding with Putin? That's the subject matter
Speaker 1: of The Big Picture, with Jack Allidan coming up at
Speaker 1: seven oh five, the Vake Ramaswamy He's going to be
Speaker 1: joining the program at eight five in lieu of the
Speaker 1: Breitbart Big the Breitbart Inside Scoop, which is fine substitution
Speaker 1: considering you just announced formally yesterday evening he is running
Speaker 1: for governor of the state of Ohio. Got a little
Speaker 1: bit of a challenge from much from Yost and somebody
Speaker 1: else whose name I can't even remember. We'll just throw
Speaker 1: her in the also ran category no offense. But as
Speaker 1: of right now, the best of my understanding, the Vake
Speaker 1: is ahead of Yost in the polling. Some consider Yost
Speaker 1: to be in the Mike Dwine camp, which among my
Speaker 1: listening audience is not a good place to be. But
Speaker 1: you draw your own conclusions. We'll hear what he has
Speaker 1: to say and what he's looking forward to in terms
Speaker 1: of the direction of the state of Ohio big on education.
Speaker 1: I love hearing that transforming education system. He says he's
Speaker 1: not going to turn his back on public schools, but
Speaker 1: he is going to try to reform them. He wants
Speaker 1: merit based teacher pay and I'm kind of questioning the
Speaker 1: metrics on that, and I'm gonna have to ask him
Speaker 1: about that. Fine conceptually, love the idea, the better the teacher,
Speaker 1: the more pay they get. But how do you gauge
Speaker 1: how good a teacher is. That's there's some sort of
Speaker 1: layering and complexity that you have to look into on
Speaker 1: that how it's going to unfold. But that he is
Speaker 1: for school education choice, certainly love that idea. He wants
Speaker 1: to bring a turn Ohio into an economic powerhouse. So
Speaker 1: lots of good ideas generally speaking. So he'll join the
Speaker 1: program at eight h five and then we will get
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis on for the deep dive. Is finally going
Speaker 1: to be an end of the Russian Ukraine conflict. Going
Speaker 1: back to the Jack add in a big picture about
Speaker 1: Trump colluding with Peutin And honestly, as I step back
Speaker 1: from the issues we've got with Russia and I can't
Speaker 1: defend them invading Ukraine, we could, you know, look inwardly
Speaker 1: and question why we invaded you know, Iraq and uh Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: and uh, well we just you know, you get the
Speaker 1: thought exercise. But in the final analysis, when when was
Speaker 1: it that that modern Russia, post Soviet Russia became this
Speaker 1: evil empire? And you know, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: evil countries that we do a lot of trading with, oh,
Speaker 1: China and others are elsewhere around the globe. Not exactly
Speaker 1: a great records when it comes to human rights and
Speaker 1: abuses and civil rights and liberties, and but we still
Speaker 1: managed to get along with them. Okay, the world I
Speaker 1: think would be a better place if we were able
Speaker 1: to cooperate with Russia rather than you know, basically engage
Speaker 1: in a an arms race with them. We'll see what
Speaker 1: Jack has to say about that. So five, and then
Speaker 1: also Daniel Davis at eight thirty five on three seven
Speaker 1: four nine fifty eight two three Talk Time five fifty
Speaker 1: on AT and T FIM going back to the SoundBite,
Speaker 1: you're fired real quickly. Here there's a new Harris Caps
Speaker 1: Harvard Caps Harris pull out polling. I understand, but overwhelmingly
Speaker 1: people like the idea of having an agency that's focusing
Speaker 1: on ensuring government efficiency and eliminating waste from the federal government.
Speaker 1: And conceptually, who could be against that? Very small percentage
Speaker 1: of folks. Actually seventy two percent of registered voters support
Speaker 1: that kind of agency. So basically doge nine out of
Speaker 1: ten Republicans, two thirds of Independence, six out of ten
Speaker 1: Democrats even posters on bipotters and support on a few
Speaker 1: general questions about government expenditures and waste, which means both
Speaker 1: parties can get around this concept and shouldn't they. Two
Speaker 1: thirds of respondent said the current level of debt for
Speaker 1: the federal government is unsustainable. That just means one third
Speaker 1: of them aren't aware of how the what reality is
Speaker 1: it is unsustainable. Just don't even bother listen to a politician,
Speaker 1: go to the Congressional Budget Office or any other you know.
Speaker 1: Neutral Switzerland like agency entity, and they'll all say the
Speaker 1: same thing, and it's actually entitlement expenditures, not the other
Speaker 1: expenditures outside of entitlements medicare, medicaid and social security. So
Speaker 1: those are the drivers behind our unsustainability, and someone at
Speaker 1: some point is finally going to have to sacrifice their
Speaker 1: future political career and change the dynamic to save us
Speaker 1: from ourselves. Eighty three percent said government should reduce its
Speaker 1: expenditures rather than raise taxes to lower budget defice deficits,
Speaker 1: you know, cut spending. In other words, three quarters more
Speaker 1: than three quarters of respondent said a full examination of
Speaker 1: all government expenditures should be undertaken rather than not interfering
Speaker 1: with the current contracts and expenditures. Good, and you know
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to do the Defense Apartment, which is
Speaker 1: a great thing. I love this this headline elon must
Speaker 1: doge sending shockwaves through Pentagon X DoD insider says, but
Speaker 1: he in the article you will observe, he says, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is a ton of fraud, waste, and abuse in
Speaker 1: the eight hundred plus billion dollar annual expenditure towards the
Speaker 1: America's military. So yeah, let's go into that one too.
Speaker 1: Seven out of ten in this survey said government expenditures
Speaker 1: are filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency, including at least
Speaker 1: three quarters of Republicans, independence and even fifty eight percent
Speaker 1: of Democrats. So, look, we have something to rally around.
Speaker 1: Pivoting over. Here's one area of fraud, waste, and abuse, stupidity,
Speaker 1: and the efforts to defend it. For some reason, apparently
Speaker 1: federal employees are are untouchable. The reality that some are
Speaker 1: getting fired or let go is, oh my god, the
Speaker 1: world's coming to an end. These people have families and lives,
Speaker 1: and oh my god, what are you doing? Washington Post
Speaker 1: criticizing the efforts of a federal government that California's use
Speaker 1: Sementy National Park. The Trump administration fired the only locksmith
Speaker 1: on staff on Friday. He was the sole employee with
Speaker 1: the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors
Speaker 1: from locked restrooms. That's a quote. And they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be serious about this, and we're supposed to believe that
Speaker 1: this guy's sick, maybe goes on vacation. Then the visitors
Speaker 1: that get locked in restrooms and how in the hell
Speaker 1: often does that happen? Are not going to be able
Speaker 1: to get out. Because nobody else has institutional knowledge of
Speaker 1: how to unlock a bathroom. They can't hire a local
Speaker 1: locksmith to do the job on a temporary basis, or
Speaker 1: just call one up on an as needed basis. Nobody
Speaker 1: else knows how to open a lock bathroom and usementy
Speaker 1: National Park. This guy can't be fired. That's the argument
Speaker 1: they're making. Elsewhere in that article, they say the firing
Speaker 1: of one thousand Park Service probationary employees quote is what
Speaker 1: some are calling a Valentine's Day massacre. Huh. Also Nazi
Speaker 1: like Virginia State Delegate Joshua Cole claimed on Friday, I claimed,
Speaker 1: he claimed in Friday's Richmond Hearing that his constituents are
Speaker 1: with in the congressional district that has the highest concentration
Speaker 1: of federal workers in the state. You represent Fredericksburg, right
Speaker 1: there next to Alexandria, more federal workers, I guess by
Speaker 1: concentration than anyplace else. I must say that I have
Speaker 1: seen so many different people on social media rather excited
Speaker 1: about these dogs cuts, rather excited about these job losses,
Speaker 1: Cole said, And that reminds me of a quote from
Speaker 1: a long time ago. At first they came for the Jews,
Speaker 1: and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Jewish. Then
Speaker 1: they came for the trade unionist and I didn't speak
Speaker 1: up because I wasn't a trade unist. And then when
Speaker 1: they came for me, there was no one to speak
Speaker 1: up because everyone had been taken. So this is akin
Speaker 1: to the rounding up of Jews. Then, huh, whatever? I know, Liam,
Speaker 1: and he had all boils down to the loss of
Speaker 1: money that he foresees coming in the future. He said, well,
Speaker 1: back when COVID hit and obviously the shutdown of the government, said,
Speaker 1: the difference between now and then is we had extra
Speaker 1: money coming in. Yeah, you did, didn't you, Because Joe
Speaker 1: Biden started getting the check book out and passing trillions
Speaker 1: of dollars of cash infusions, basically to rescue cities from
Speaker 1: themselves who had become so indebted that they had no
Speaker 1: way to get out. See, that's what I believe was
Speaker 1: the cover for all that COVID money going out. But
Speaker 1: that's just me, he said, this time, we're actually going
Speaker 1: to be losing money over this situation. I'm very interested
Speaker 1: in how the loss of that money and fetal income
Speaker 1: is going to impact our communities talk to the eastern
Speaker 1: Kentucky coal miner communities. Yeah, of course. House Minority leader
Speaker 1: there Todd Gilbert had something to say, comparing the loss
Speaker 1: of some government jobs to the Holocaust is an insult
Speaker 1: to the memory of the millions who were slaughtered by
Speaker 1: the Nazi regime, stating the obvious on that one. And oh, look, Joe,
Speaker 1: did you notice the line of protesters up outside of
Speaker 1: the building this morning protesting starbucks layoff of more than
Speaker 1: one thousand workers. They're everywhere, aren't they. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's the Holocaust. Starbucks said, will be laying off eleven
Speaker 1: hundred corporate employees and not be filling hundreds of open roles.
Speaker 1: Part of the new chief executive Brian Nichols f it's
Speaker 1: to streamline operations. Well, we're he said yesterday. The cuts
Speaker 1: would remove corporate layers and duplications and would help the
Speaker 1: coffee company become more focused. We believe it's a necessary
Speaker 1: change to position Starbucks for future success.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: Anybody my listening audience ever been through a corporate restructuring. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people will lose jobs in a corporate restructure.
Speaker 1: You won't see a word written in a paper, and
Speaker 1: the only reason I think they wrote this one is
Speaker 1: because it's well Starbucks. They say these layouts are a
Speaker 1: one of the largest rounds of cuts in Starbucks history.
Speaker 1: Back in twenty eighteen, they laid out five percent of
Speaker 1: the global workforce, that was three hundred and fifty people.
Speaker 1: Why the streamline operations make the company more efficient, make
Speaker 1: it more profitable. And of course at the app aftermath
Speaker 1: of the one thy or eleven hundred employee a layoff
Speaker 1: announcement on yesterday, Starbucks shares went up. Why because the
Speaker 1: company will be more efficient and ergo more profitable. Oh
Speaker 1: and look at this. Unlike the opportunity the Trump administration
Speaker 1: provided to those employees who would take a voluntary well retirement,
Speaker 1: they get paid through September and not have to report
Speaker 1: to work, so it's like they still have a job
Speaker 1: all the way through September. Starbucks said it would be
Speaker 1: the employees that were affected by this. Laid off workers
Speaker 1: would receive pay and benefits at least until May. Tewod
Speaker 1: that's why there's all those protesters outside Joe. How dare
Speaker 1: Starbucks do this? Yeah, like the Nazis five eighteen fifty
Speaker 1: five ker c Detalk stations. Stick around more to come
Speaker 1: and I would enjoy hearing from you. If you want
Speaker 1: to call up five one, three, seven, four, nine, five,
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talks. It
Speaker 1: is time and pardon me. Wow, I came out of
Speaker 1: nowhere for the channel nine first one. Ah see if
Speaker 1: I wait long enough, I want to see partly sunny
Speaker 1: day to day mild fifty six. It actually says not
Speaker 1: cold on the weather forecast Joe overnight LOA thirty five
Speaker 1: with partly cloudy sky's Wednesday partly cloudist slight chance rang
Speaker 1: better chance at night high A sixty two. Let us
Speaker 1: see loa forty overnight and on Thursday partly cloudy day
Speaker 1: with a slow should be dry high A fifty A
Speaker 1: lot of extraneous information in the news or in the
Speaker 1: weather report this morning forty six degrees right now for
Speaker 1: five KCD talk station. That's why Joe says he always
Speaker 1: used to re maybe it could you know, you could
Speaker 1: be editor of the of the weather report before it
Speaker 1: gets to me. You could have a look at it
Speaker 1: and uh or I could just read it ahead of
Speaker 1: time and strike out the superfluous information. If I went
Speaker 1: three seven, four nine fifty eight two three talk related
Speaker 1: to nothing I've talked about this morning, but I thought
Speaker 1: this was rather preposterous and a little indication how bad
Speaker 1: things are in terms of crime. We know about San
Speaker 1: Francisco and the decriminalization of shoplifting, what that brought the
Speaker 1: hell that that brought up the state of California and
Speaker 1: other cities in California. You go to Brooklyn where what
Speaker 1: is described as a crime battered McDonald's now is going
Speaker 1: to prohibit or they're currently is now prohibiting anybody under
Speaker 1: the age of twenty from entering without a parent or
Speaker 1: a proper identification. They keep it locked.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: They've got a couple of security guards up front carting people.
Speaker 1: Nineteen year old manager Amber Hussein talk with The New
Speaker 1: York Post, which provided the reporting on this, says that
Speaker 1: a group of juveniles had that had swarmed into the
Speaker 1: restaurant after school, assaulted a security guard and shattered a
Speaker 1: glass door, one of a multitude of crimes. Get a
Speaker 1: load of this. The location has prompted three hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four nine to one one calls in the last
Speaker 1: three years alone, and apparently it's been a hotspot for
Speaker 1: crime for more than a dozen years back in twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: one incident captured, of course on video. Two punks ambushed
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old as he walked in and shot
Speaker 1: him multiple times. They feel sorry for that kid that
Speaker 1: got shot, but apparently the victim himself had five robbery arrests,
Speaker 1: but he dodged death in that shooting incident. According to
Speaker 1: the manager Husseins observations over the year working there, if
Speaker 1: you visited during after school hours, upwards of twenty teens
Speaker 1: would come in, trash the store, hurl ice at patients
Speaker 1: or patrons rather uber drivers of their bags of food,
Speaker 1: and fill the restaurant with marijuana smoke. Now they're barring
Speaker 1: entry to children and teenagers through the age of nineteen
Speaker 1: who are not accompanied by a parent with a proper
Speaker 1: ID So I guess they card the parents so they
Speaker 1: know who to hold accountable. Apparently after this it was
Speaker 1: implemented a post which is doing the reporting again saw
Speaker 1: a group of excluded teens standing outside the door shaking
Speaker 1: their fists in anger. Now staff with two security guards
Speaker 1: at a time barring unsupervised teenagers, which of course has
Speaker 1: to drive the price of food up. Now you got
Speaker 1: two more salaried people there for the purpose of providing
Speaker 1: some form of protection for the people who dare walking
Speaker 1: into the McDonald's insanity. Five five kc DE talk station,
Speaker 1: local stories coming up, alternative the lead. You can call,
Speaker 1: which would be great. Otherwise I'll be right back. We
Speaker 1: can stick around fifty five krc dot com. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: Maybe a little light rain this morning, say it should
Speaker 1: be moving out by six am. I did not encounter any,
Speaker 1: but of course I'm only one area. Partly sunny day
Speaker 1: high on fifty six. Overnight a thirty five with clouds
Speaker 1: sixty two to the high tomorrow with a slight chance
Speaker 1: of rain set a better chance overnight or in the evening.
Speaker 1: So you got rain overnight storm possibly after seven pm,
Speaker 1: low of forty degrees, and then come Thursday it's going
Speaker 1: to be partly cloudy and a high a fifty. Right now,
Speaker 1: it's forty seven degrees at five KRCD talk station at
Speaker 1: five kr SEA dot com. Get your dose of Christopher
Speaker 1: Smitheman this smither vent. If you didn't get a chance
Speaker 1: to listen, did that conversation with Jennifer crows Gross followed
Speaker 1: up by the prior conversation I had with Keith faberback
Speaker 1: in January of two thousand and three about Medicaid fraud,
Speaker 1: made some progress and identifying fraud, waste and abuse. And
Speaker 1: Jennifer Gross's on the sub committee assigned to that project,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like she has held been for leather
Speaker 1: to get rid of it because as we kind of
Speaker 1: learn through the conversations, probably about ten billion dollars is
Speaker 1: being wasted. And someone called observe by Jay, my listener,
Speaker 1: who's been paying very close and attention to this issue.
Speaker 1: He always calls in when we talk about it. An
Speaker 1: excellent concept. And think about the vic Gramaswamy being really
Speaker 1: focused on education reform. If we clawed back or otherwise
Speaker 1: didn't send out into the ether ten billion dollars, we
Speaker 1: could all get massive property tax relief. Just apply that
Speaker 1: and pay for the schools through that way. That way
Speaker 1: we could comply with the Supreme Court decision of twenty
Speaker 1: plus years ago saying our current funding mechanism for schools
Speaker 1: is unconstitutional, yet nothing has ever been done about it.
Speaker 1: Maybe if we use the money that didn't go out
Speaker 1: the door and fraud, wasted abuse from medicaid, then we
Speaker 1: could fund the schools and you and I would get
Speaker 1: a massive relief from property tax. Here's a bill you
Speaker 1: weren't expecting. Going to local stories, thank you to Sam
Speaker 1: harassmal Witz reporting from WCPO. Residents in the Cincinnati's Linwood neighborhood,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're not the only neighborhood a bit
Speaker 1: stunned because they have to pay to fix the sidewalks.
Speaker 1: Many sidewalks are covered in X markings from the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati meeting those blocks must be replaced every X
Speaker 1: you see along the neighborhood. Here on this street and
Speaker 1: this street over. If they haven't already, they're going to
Speaker 1: get some kind of bill. According to Linwood resident interviewed
Speaker 1: Matt Sittak talking to WCPO, he was given a bill.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for more than twenty one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: by the city to repair the sidewalks by May twenty third? Yeah,
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, here's a two thousand dollars bill. You
Speaker 1: weren't what you weren't planning on. And he, of course
Speaker 1: said that two thousands of dollars a lot of money,
Speaker 1: you know. City of Cincinnati Sidewalk Safety Program apparently explains
Speaker 1: what sidewalk inspectors are looking for to avoid anyone being
Speaker 1: injured due to damaged sidewalks. City spokesperson said, the sidewalks
Speaker 1: are evaluated by the Sidewalk Condemnation Guidelines. You didn't know
Speaker 1: we had those. They can be found online. Go ahead
Speaker 1: use the search engine Cincinnati Sidewalk Condemnation Guidelines. Court to
Speaker 1: the website, the X markings are blocks the homeowner is
Speaker 1: responsible for. There may be a C marking on some
Speaker 1: of the damaged sidewalks, which means those aren't charged to
Speaker 1: the resident. The city is responsible for him. Court to
Speaker 1: the website the City of Cincinnati. Per the Cincinnati Municipal Code,
Speaker 1: the property owner is responsible for maintaining the sidewalk adjacent
Speaker 1: to their property. Some exceptions, for example, if the sidewalk
Speaker 1: is adjacent to a corner lot in a residential area.
Speaker 1: If a resident receives one of these bills, they have
Speaker 1: three options ready hire a licensed residential street contractor. City
Speaker 1: provides a list of those on the website. Replace the
Speaker 1: sidewalk yourself, which is only an option if you have
Speaker 1: a proper city license. Joe, you still you keep your
Speaker 1: license for repairing sidewalks current you have to do a
Speaker 1: continuing edgend education courses annually to keep that thing current
Speaker 1: every year. Or you can hire a city contractor to
Speaker 1: complete the project. Yeah, it doesn't say union though, but
Speaker 1: I do sense the word in there. Joe website reports
Speaker 1: of a city contractor can either complete the repairs of
Speaker 1: the resident chooses that option, or if the project is
Speaker 1: not completed by the deadline, bill can either be paid
Speaker 1: by the due date or have the balance collected with
Speaker 1: your property tax. God Almighty. New develops in the criminal
Speaker 1: cases against the four suspects charge of connection with the
Speaker 1: fire that damaged the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge and shut
Speaker 1: down southbound ice for seventy one for months. Hamlin County
Speaker 1: Common Police prosecute. A court judge Leslie Giz announced yesterday
Speaker 1: the two men charge was setting the blaze. Terry Styles
Speaker 1: of Arlington Heights, thirty nine years old twenty three year
Speaker 1: old Zachary Stump of Owensville, both competent to stand trial.
Speaker 1: Each man charged with three counts of aggravated arson and
Speaker 1: one kind of arson. They pleaded not guilty, could serve
Speaker 1: up the four decades in prison if convicted. Styles lawyer
Speaker 1: Monday said she plans a file of plea on behalf
Speaker 1: of not the on behalf of the not guilty by
Speaker 1: reason of insanity. Of the two suspects, James Hamilton, twenty
Speaker 1: six and twenty four year old Keelan Hall of Arlington Heights,
Speaker 1: expected to be assigned trial dates. Both are keeping their
Speaker 1: current not guilty please according to their attorneys. If convicted,
Speaker 1: Hamilton Hall could each face a maximum sentence of six
Speaker 1: years in prison. They're accused of giving misleading information to investigators.
Speaker 1: Now this is terrible. Community agencies across Boone County have
Speaker 1: formed a task force after five juveniles died by suicide
Speaker 1: within the school district since just November, effort to bring
Speaker 1: resources and a plan of action for those struggling with
Speaker 1: suicidal ideation. I guess. Spokesperson for the Boone County Suicide
Speaker 1: Response Team, Elaine Zenner, speaking with Fox nineteen, said, you know,
Speaker 1: the loss of one loss is too many. Five is
Speaker 1: a call to action. It's time for us to come together.
Speaker 1: Coroner's office confirmed the five juvenile desks by suicide within
Speaker 1: the Boone County School District since November of last year.
Speaker 1: In response, parent advocate, school officials, and local police departments,
Speaker 1: health officials and more are coming together to form the
Speaker 1: Boone County Suicide Response Team with the goal of helping
Speaker 1: youths and teams experiencing mental health challenges. You know, I
Speaker 1: blame social media a lot on this, and it's easy
Speaker 1: for me to do that. There's a lot of reasons
Speaker 1: someone might, you know, think suicide is the right option.
Speaker 1: But it's another thing I observe about the fake Gramaswamy,
Speaker 1: he wants to ban cell phones and smart devices from
Speaker 1: schools completely in the entire state. I think that will
Speaker 1: be a great step in the direction of better education
Speaker 1: and less social media influence, which obviously is having a
Speaker 1: profound effect on our young people. Just my two cents
Speaker 1: for what they're worth. Stupid coming up. Alternatively, you can
Speaker 1: call feel Free. I'll be right back.

Speaker 1: about that. Over to the phones we go, Mississippi. James,
Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friend. Always good to hear from you.
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. You know yesterday I want
Speaker 6: to piggyback on Dan Hill, and I agree with him
Speaker 6: one hundred percent. You know, the priority was to separate the.
Speaker 1: Two groups on the bridge, the armed people. Let's remind
Speaker 1: our listeners, both sides had guns, long guns and handguns,
Speaker 1: and that could have been a shooting situation. That was
Speaker 1: Dan's point. At least nobody got killed, and the first
Speaker 1: priority of the police was to separate those two and
Speaker 1: keep them from shooting each other.
Speaker 6: I agree within one percent on that. That's the first thing.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 6: Now, after they got separated and Whack went back down
Speaker 6: by the Lochland School where that was the opportunity to
Speaker 6: get names and Id's all right now to me never
Speaker 6: been a police officer, I was a firefighter worked along
Speaker 6: with the police officer. And that seemed like, uh, police
Speaker 6: worked one oh one to get Id's a name in case.
Speaker 6: I've heard him say that many times, I need some
Speaker 6: might be from you in case something come up. I
Speaker 6: need to reduce my report. So that seemed like police
Speaker 6: worked one oh one. Now he may call it Monday
Speaker 6: morning quarterback. I'm just looking at it on another end,
Speaker 6: So you know, it sounded like some of his bias
Speaker 6: is coming out on that. But we agree, no one
Speaker 6: got shot. Your kudos to Lachland, Evendale, Hamilton County, whoever
Speaker 6: was there. They de escalated, they defused it.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 6: Now after that, names should have been taken. Well, I
Speaker 6: just didn't case.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't sit here and say that
Speaker 1: they weren't taken. I mean there's no I haven't read
Speaker 1: any reporting that said nope, the police did not bother
Speaker 1: to take names. But I haven't also seen that their
Speaker 1: police got names. I don't know that that's even something
Speaker 1: any of our locals reporters would be even thinking about doing,
Speaker 1: you know, a question that they would even think to ask.
Speaker 1: I literally do not know whether or not names were taken,
Speaker 1: or a dresses were taken, or IDs were asked for
Speaker 1: nothing about that. I mean, everybody's focused so much on
Speaker 1: the racism that was going on and the fact that
Speaker 1: these two groups both showed up armed, which is the
Speaker 1: biggest part of the story. So the minutia behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: I can't speak to that at all. I have no
Speaker 1: problem with what you're saying.
Speaker 6: About you speaking to it. You know, I understand your position.
Speaker 6: It ain't important that Brian can speak to it. It's important.
Speaker 6: Did it happen.
Speaker 1: But no, I mean Mississippi, James, you're speaking to it
Speaker 1: as well. Do you know whether or not names were taken? No,
Speaker 1: I don't, right, that's my point. So I mean, you
Speaker 1: can be critical of them if they didn't perhaps, But
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anyone say names were not taken or
Speaker 1: names were taken. And I don't even know what police
Speaker 1: protocol is under those circumstances. Honestly, James, I'm not a
Speaker 1: police officer either, so you know it may be a
Speaker 1: valid point.
Speaker 6: I've been on the scene a lot of time with
Speaker 6: the police officers. I've heard that question asked, Okay, you
Speaker 6: know in situation not like that that was that was
Speaker 6: different for this day and age. Yeah, you know, and
Speaker 6: they handle it, so get an officer kudos, say nobody attacked,
Speaker 6: they defuse it, de escalated. That's what I'm all about.
Speaker 6: But after that, you know, we don't want to see
Speaker 6: bias coming in and just let it be, because I've
Speaker 6: seen too many times that they asked, well, we need
Speaker 6: our DA just to see in case we have to
Speaker 6: do our report, if we need to get back with
Speaker 6: you to ask you some questions.
Speaker 1: Sure, I'm just yeah, like for example, like For example,
Speaker 1: if some citizen comes up two days three days after
Speaker 1: it and says, I have a video here showing one
Speaker 1: of them beating somebody over the head with a sign
Speaker 1: or something, then you'd be right, Well, we've got the
Speaker 1: names of the people who are involved. We can follow
Speaker 1: up on that. So I get your point. But see
Speaker 1: it's a valid point, James. I'm not arguing with the point.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, maybe they did get names in the
Speaker 1: absence of information positive or negative. You raise a valid issue.
Speaker 1: You hope that they did, and they should have if
Speaker 1: they didn't. But I'm just going to leave it out
Speaker 1: there for others to contemplate, and maybe someone in law
Speaker 1: enforcement that was involved in the incident can call up
Speaker 1: and say, no, we got names, or no we didn't,
Speaker 1: but here's why we didn't. I appreciate the fundamental point
Speaker 1: you're making them. I don't think you need call looking
Speaker 1: for an argument, James. But you're just saying maybe that
Speaker 1: should have happened, or that should have happened. Five forty

Speaker 1: to planting a bomb that's severely damaged a woman's home.
Speaker 1: Stephen Glosser, thirty eight, of Savannah, pleaded guilty to stalking
Speaker 1: in the use of been explosive to commit another felony offense,
Speaker 1: according to press release from the US Attorney's Office in
Speaker 1: Southern Georgia Southern District of Georgia, there's more to it.
Speaker 1: You must also pay a half a million plus dollars
Speaker 1: in restitution to the two victims also served three years
Speaker 1: of supervised release. According to the US Attorney, the level
Speaker 1: of malevel and violence in this case is astounding, and
Speaker 1: it's truly fortunate that there were no deaths as a
Speaker 1: result of the horrific crime. The successful prosecution is a
Speaker 1: credit to the outstanding investigative work of the ATF and
Speaker 1: our state and local law enforcement partners. A courd to
Speaker 1: officers January thirteenth of twenty three in explosion extensively damaged
Speaker 1: a home so powerful according to the authorities. It blew
Speaker 1: bricks off the residents and made a two by two
Speaker 1: foot crater in the concrete driveway. A woman and child
Speaker 1: were in the resident are in the residence at the time,
Speaker 1: both uninjured. Glocester and a co conspiracer, Caleb Kinsey, thirty four,
Speaker 1: rusted about a month after the explosion. Glossar had met
Speaker 1: the woman through a dating app and the two had
Speaker 1: a casual relationship that ended at court of the District Attorney.
Speaker 1: Glocester and Kent Yes and Gloucester and Kinsey plotted to
Speaker 1: quote create a plan to kill, intimidate, harass, or injure
Speaker 1: close quote the victim. Why are you doing that? No idea?
Speaker 1: They plan to acquire and shoot arrows into the woman's
Speaker 1: front door, and buy and release a large python into
Speaker 1: the victim's home that would feaze the victim's daughter. Also
Speaker 1: planned to mail dog feces and dead rats to her
Speaker 1: home and scalp her do what the hells that's in
Speaker 1: the guilty fleet. Glocester found the woman's residence using Internet
Speaker 1: searches on a cell phone based on an image of
Speaker 1: the victim that he previously shared with Glossar. Kinsey purchased
Speaker 1: exploding targets online. The two use the material to construct
Speaker 1: a bomb that blew up the victims home. Afterward, Glosster
Speaker 1: hired a cleaning service the high traces of the bomb
Speaker 1: making materials at his residence. She's wheeze idiots doing idiot
Speaker 1: things because the idiot oh, I can one up them almost.
Speaker 1: You can think about this one next time you go
Speaker 1: grocery shopping. A New Hampshire woman was arrested after police
Speaker 1: said food at a store was contaminated with urine. According
Speaker 1: to investigator's twenty three year old Kelly Tedford tainted produce
Speaker 1: at the Monon Knock Food co Op with her own urine. Dear,
Speaker 1: what the hell keen? Police said Tedford recorded herself performing
Speaker 1: the act multiple times and even posted the video online.
Speaker 1: Co op lost fifteen hundred dollars of merchandise and cleaning
Speaker 1: costs issued a recall for contaminated items bought from the
Speaker 1: bulk department between February tenth and February fifteenth, including red Kinwah,
Speaker 1: white Queenwa, tricolored Kinwa. He's got a thing about that?
Speaker 4: Or is it?
Speaker 1: Kinwa? Never could figure that one out, organic corn meal
Speaker 1: polenta coconut shreds and raw walnuts. They had the PLU numbers,
Speaker 1: the purchase numbers on any one of those. Anyone may
Speaker 1: have purchased any of these products can reach out to
Speaker 1: the store for information on refunds. Oops, too late, we
Speaker 1: had that for dinner last night. Arrested Friday, charge with
Speaker 1: croinal mischief. Police st it appears that this was not
Speaker 1: the first time she has contaminated items on the surface
Speaker 1: with urine. They found videos dating back to twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one and believe similar incidents have occurred in Keen and
Speaker 1: surrounding communities. So, yeah, what that polenta you bought at
Speaker 1: the store back in old calendar year twenty twenty two. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I guess it sucks to be you. There's some sick

Speaker 2: Here you go.
Speaker 1: Entire police force of an Alabama city was placed on
Speaker 1: leave after five officers, including the police chief and one
Speaker 1: of the spouses, were indicted by a grand jury and
Speaker 1: arrested on multiple charges. Hansville Mayor Jim Sawyer announced last
Speaker 1: Thursday that the employees of the city's police department were
Speaker 1: being placed on administrative leave. Coleman County Sheriff's office taken
Speaker 1: over Mayor. Announcement came a day after five Hansville Police officers,
Speaker 1: including the chief, were indicted by a Coleman County grand
Speaker 1: jury and arrested on multiple charges because of the death
Speaker 1: of a forty nine year old Christopher Willingham. He was
Speaker 1: a nine to one to one dispatcher found in his
Speaker 1: office dead. Autopsy determined he died a drug overdose, specifically
Speaker 1: from the quote combined toxic effects of fentanyl, gabba, penton azipam, amphetamine,
Speaker 1: curris prodal, and metho carbamol. What happened, the jury determined
Speaker 1: at William's death was the direct result of negligence and
Speaker 1: disregard for life by the police department. Comen County District
Speaker 1: Attorney said the evidence room was not secure and was
Speaker 1: routinely accessed by individuals who were not authorized to do so. Specifically,
Speaker 1: the room had a large hole in the wall. The
Speaker 1: room was frequently used by individuals to access evidence through
Speaker 1: that hole. Prasing Joe Wow, multiple counts, tampering with evidence,
Speaker 1: using office for personal gain, computer tampering, failure to report
Speaker 1: ethics crimes, tampering with evidence. It's just all kinds of charges.
Speaker 1: Grand jury also recommended to handsfol of police department be
Speaker 1: immediately disbanded, calling it more of a criminal organization than
Speaker 1: law enforcement agency. On the mayor's decision to put the
Speaker 1: entire police force on leave, Hansville City Council had to
Speaker 1: meet to discuss the future of the department. That's where
Speaker 1: the drugs are. Five fifty six fifty five kr C

Speaker 1: to violent and dangerous perpetrators. Well, fast forward an hour
Speaker 1: A special big picture with Jack Adviton. Is Trump colluding
Speaker 1: with Pewtin? I'm sure that relates to this ongoing negotiations
Speaker 1: he's having directly with Peutin with the absence of the
Speaker 1: Ukrainian president. And of course you can comment, I'm sure
Speaker 1: on the UN resolution that we didn't participate in, and
Speaker 1: I just have to regardless how you feel about whether
Speaker 1: we voted with Russia or against Russia, and we did
Speaker 1: vote with Russia and saying no to the resolution, it's
Speaker 1: a resolution, doesn't mean anything, just like most of what
Speaker 1: the UN does. Hate the freaking UN it, you know,
Speaker 1: the in terms of us just sort of approach. The
Speaker 1: idea of getting together is a fine approach, but it
Speaker 1: just becomes nothing but a drain on massive resources and
Speaker 1: a big protection mechanism for a bunch of terrorist organizations
Speaker 1: around the world. Anyhow, sorry, I always have to interject
Speaker 1: some negative comment about the UN. The Vake Ramaswamy he'll
Speaker 1: be joining the program at eight oh five in lieu
Speaker 1: of the bright bark inside scoop. But I'm happy to
Speaker 1: have him. He announced formally yesterday, and he's already got
Speaker 1: the endorsement of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I know JD.
Speaker 1: Vans is Vice President, but the current circumstances, it seems
Speaker 1: more like Elon Musk. Anyway, Daniel Davis deep dive on
Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine? Is there finally going to be an end
Speaker 1: to that bloody conflict? And speaking of JD Vance, I
Speaker 1: know this is a story that's near and dear to
Speaker 1: many of my listeners. Hearts, because this young child has
Speaker 1: been denied a heart transplant because she didn't get the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen vaccine. President JD Vance now stepping in to
Speaker 1: help his twelve year old relative. He is a distant
Speaker 1: relative related Advance to her adoptive brother, Jacob Dial, who's
Speaker 1: married to the Vice president's half sister, Chelsea. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: and you try to work the math on that one. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Adeline Deal born in China, adopted when she was four,
Speaker 1: diagnosed at birth with two rare heart conditions Epstein's anomaly
Speaker 1: and wolf Parkinson White syndrome. Jade Vance got winto this again,
Speaker 1: distant relative he's I guess it's been circulating on social media,
Speaker 1: but I was made aware of it a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago. And we're trying to dig in and trying
Speaker 1: to help obviously as much as possible. It is a
Speaker 1: distant relative, but somebody I care about, so we're trying
Speaker 1: to figure get exactly what's going on. Jenny Deal mom
Speaker 1: praised Vance's comments helping her daughter or commitment to helping
Speaker 1: her daughter and hope the Trump administration would push Congress
Speaker 1: to pass a bill to protect unvaccinated Americans from discrimination
Speaker 1: in hospitals. And there's more on that. She's received on
Speaker 1: and off treatment since arriving in America at CINCINNTI Children's Hospital.
Speaker 1: Been going there for nearly a decade, and the family
Speaker 1: had hoped that the hospital would perform the trans plan.
Speaker 1: Family told by the hospital's doctors that she would not
Speaker 1: be placed on the transplant waiting list until she got
Speaker 1: vaccinated against COVID and the flu. Joe, didn't they get
Speaker 1: the flu vaccine wrong this year? I believe they did
Speaker 1: so get vaccinated for something that's not circulating. Ponder that now,
Speaker 1: since a children's first parts that it requires transplant patients
Speaker 1: to be vaccinated because they need to take the anti
Speaker 1: rejection immuni suppress and drugs for the rest of their lives,
Speaker 1: making them more vulnerable. So ponder this. So, after doing
Speaker 1: the transplant, assuming she got the requisite yet possibly unnecessary vaccines,
Speaker 1: are they going to make sure she gets them the
Speaker 1: rest of her life because every year there's a new
Speaker 1: flu variant. Every year they come up with a new
Speaker 1: flu vaccine. Just asking, but probably not because the family
Speaker 1: described as non denominational Christians don't have any plans of
Speaker 1: giving their daughter a vaccine because they say it goes
Speaker 1: against the religious beliefs, which they're entitled to her own
Speaker 1: religious beliefs. Regardless of what you think.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 1: Live in a country where we have the free exercise
Speaker 1: of religion, and there are a lot of folks out
Speaker 1: there that don't believe in vaccines. Christian scientists, I think
Speaker 1: are like that. They don't believe in medical intervention, divining
Speaker 1: it it violates God's will. You know, if something happens
Speaker 1: to you, that's God's plan for you, and I guess
Speaker 1: you just deal with it, kind of like what we
Speaker 1: did before modern medicine. But apparently one doctor on her
Speaker 1: transplant team did sign off on the girls surgery even
Speaker 1: though she wasn't vaccinated known that about that, but other
Speaker 1: people on the team and apparently all members on the
Speaker 1: team have to sign on the approval, but several other
Speaker 1: members of the team did not approve it, so she
Speaker 1: has been denied the opportunity. Recent checkups said she was
Speaker 1: deemed stable, but they always have concerns that her condition
Speaker 1: could worsen. Now, a bill was introduced on Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: by a representative Aaron Hochen publican out of Indiana, which
Speaker 1: is where I believe this childhood comes from and lives,
Speaker 1: as well as Mike Ruley in Ohio. It's called the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen Vaccination Non Discrimination Acted when sure Americans who
Speaker 1: are refused transplants cannot be refused a transplant over their
Speaker 1: personal religious medical decisions quote from a representative coach and
Speaker 1: denying a child a life saving transplant over a COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine is not science, it's cruelty. Hospitals exist to
Speaker 1: save lives, not implos medical mandates on vulnerable patients. Families
Speaker 1: deserve the freedom to make the best medical decision for
Speaker 1: their loved ones without fear of being blacklisted from life
Speaker 1: saving care. This bill will put an end to this
Speaker 1: unjust practice. And remember, what do we learn? Children not
Speaker 1: usually succumb to the vaccine. And I know she's a
Speaker 1: in the comorbid category. See may want intigate that argument,
Speaker 1: but generally speaking, COVID not a risk for young people.
Speaker 1: So let's take her out of that category given her
Speaker 1: corbid condition. Question, does the COVID nineteen vaccine prevent you
Speaker 1: from getting COVID nineteen? What have we learned? No, it
Speaker 1: also doesn't stop you from spreading it. But I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a concern here. In any event, maybe that
Speaker 1: bill might pass. And I bring this up one because
Speaker 1: I just find it so alarming that that's what's going
Speaker 1: on over at Children's. And you know, I praise what
Speaker 1: his children have done over the years, and the benefits
Speaker 1: of my family has been blessed with with the wonderful
Speaker 1: medical professionals at Children's Hospital. This is not an indictment
Speaker 1: of them, but it's an indictment of the policy. But
Speaker 1: now wait for it, were a moment in time away
Speaker 1: from maybe having to go through this again. Experts, it's
Speaker 1: a current US outbreak of the bird flu is unlikely
Speaker 1: to end without intervention because further mutations of the virus
Speaker 1: is likely. New variant of H five and one bird
Speaker 1: flu is spilled over into dairy cows, apparently in Nevada
Speaker 1: and Arizona, and they're theorizing about how the virus is
Speaker 1: spread and leading to questions about containing the ongoing outbreaks,
Speaker 1: which apparently not going to be able to do. One
Speaker 1: influence of virologists and co director at the Center for
Speaker 1: Transmission of Airborne Pathogens at Emery School of Medicine. They've
Speaker 1: got one of those, Sima black Dawala, speaking with The Guardian.
Speaker 1: It's endemic now in cows. There is no way this
Speaker 1: is going to get contained on its own, notice my
Speaker 1: emphasis on the words on its own. Current outbreak they
Speaker 1: say is unlikely to end without intervention and needs close
Speaker 1: attention from the Trump administration. Hmmm. Also pointing out bird
Speaker 1: flu continues is happening against the backdrop of the worst
Speaker 1: flu season fifteen years. Don't know how the two are connected,
Speaker 1: but maybe they are. So you've got bird flu they
Speaker 1: found it in rats, that's getting in cows more regularly. Now,
Speaker 1: So what does that mean that Means Health and Human
Speaker 1: Services announced on Friday, and it was giving approximately five
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety million dollars to Moderna to produce an
Speaker 1: mr NA vaccine against bird flu and other influenza strains
Speaker 1: with pandemic potential. You knew it was coming your taxpayer dollars,
Speaker 1: complements of HHS's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. They
Speaker 1: say the goal is to get funding ahead of the
Speaker 1: H five N one avian influenza strains currently circulating wild birds, poultry, cows,
Speaker 1: and sometimes human infections, mostly farm workers up. They're working
Speaker 1: on it. Question whether we will don't know that. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say fall for it, because I don't
Speaker 1: know what this H five and one does the humans.
Speaker 1: By all accounts, I think only one person has died
Speaker 1: from it. Said it like red eyes, watery eyes. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's deadly. I pray to God that
Speaker 1: it doesn't become, you know, a pandemic. I pray to
Speaker 1: God it isn't something that is any worse than a
Speaker 1: regular flu. But after going through this nonsense with the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and the firings and the closures and the
Speaker 1: dictatorial control over every aspect of our lives, the denial
Speaker 1: of people an opportunity to go to church, which might
Speaker 1: have been good for people living through a pandemic. I
Speaker 1: just wonder whether the American public, if that happens, will abide.
Speaker 1: What say, you can do something about joint pain? Though
Speaker 1: I hear from listeners a lot about this QC Kinetics

Speaker 1: yesterday is now calling for the companies to start building it,
Speaker 1: come back to America and get it built now. He
Speaker 1: was quoted as saying, so, I know they were treated
Speaker 1: very badly by sleepy Joe Biden, but the Trump administration
Speaker 1: is very different. Easy approvals, almost immediate start. If not them,
Speaker 1: meaning the company that was originally building it, perhaps another
Speaker 1: pipeline company. We want the Keystone XL pipeline built.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 1: This project started back in twenty ten, President Obama pulled
Speaker 1: the plug on it before it was finished. Trump put
Speaker 1: it back in place during his first term. Obviously there's
Speaker 1: been litigation, but all the contracts will. Litigation allowed it
Speaker 1: to move forward. TC Energy operated Excel pipeline ultimately gave
Speaker 1: up on the project in June of twenty one because
Speaker 1: Biden pulled the plug on it, canceling the federal permits.
Speaker 1: A federal judge in twenty twenty three threw out legal
Speaker 1: challenge from nearly two dozen states asking the court to
Speaker 1: reinstate the pipeline's permits, so they got the green light.
Speaker 1: It was originally scheduled to be completed in early twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. Eight hundred and thirty thousand barrels accrued from
Speaker 1: Canada to the US also projected to create thousands of jobs.
Speaker 1: A lot of union jobs too, maybe one of the
Speaker 1: reasons the union's voted for President Donald Trump. Biden administration
Speaker 1: Department of Energy in twenty twenty two, under the Biden
Speaker 1: administration published a report that the Keystone Excel project would
Speaker 1: have created between sixteen thousand and fifty nine thousand jobs
Speaker 1: and would have had a positive economic impact between three
Speaker 1: point four and nine point six billion dollars. I see
Speaker 1: no bad news in that Biden administration Department of Energy report.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine, and of course, ultimately the pipeline's better
Speaker 1: for the environment because, as I pointed out, and everybody knows,
Speaker 1: Canada hasn't stopped getting the oil out of the ground.
Speaker 1: You just got to ship it by railroad car, which
Speaker 1: last time I checked, still run on diesel fuel, belching
Speaker 1: out tons of smoke and carbon into the atmosphere. You
Speaker 1: put it through a pipeline, it doesn't do that. And
Speaker 1: look all the jobs that it would create. God, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: So all the above energy strategy under this administration may
Speaker 1: result in the pipeline getting start again. Jason Isaac's CEO
Speaker 1: of the American Energy Institute Quota, this thing, restarting the
Speaker 1: Keystone EXOL pipeline alignes with Trump's agenda to lower food
Speaker 1: and energy costs by bolstering North American energy infrastructure and
Speaker 1: reducing reliance on costly import there's a thought and pivoting
Speaker 1: it over to green energy, which is the only reasons.
Speaker 1: I guess that's an argument for not building it. But again,
Speaker 1: if the oil is coming out of the ground, it's
Speaker 1: going to get burned. The world still has run on
Speaker 1: lots of crude. You may recall back in January, the
Speaker 1: Vista Energy battery storage facility in Monterey County. It caught fire.
Speaker 1: Guess what it happened again and alert urged residents to
Speaker 1: close windows and doors as fire crews were fighting the blaze.
Speaker 1: Why toxic fumes coming from batteries on fire. Last month
Speaker 1: it led to an evacuation of residents in the county.
Speaker 1: Alerted that the community of unknown hazards posed by the smoke.
Speaker 1: And there's all kinds of nastiness that comes out of
Speaker 1: these things catching on fire. So the EPA EPA is
Speaker 1: now my honitoring the air again sampling for heavy metals
Speaker 1: among other toxic chemicals. I don't know how closing your
Speaker 1: doors and windows actually helps a situation, but that's what's
Speaker 1: going on. Close your doors and windows because the air
Speaker 1: from the outside what can't get into your house. If
Speaker 1: you believe that I have a bridge, I want to
Speaker 1: sell you. Coming up next, Ken cob or FOP president,
Speaker 1: to talk about low or no bonds for dangerous purpse
Speaker 1: that's going on in here in Hamilton County. First word
Speaker 1: for my good friend Peter Shabria Keilor Williams, seven Hills,
Speaker 1: outstanding human being. He is just a brilliant brilliant man,
Speaker 1: and that brilliance has gathered together and as have been
Speaker 1: a magnet for the best real estate talent in the
Speaker 1: greater Cincinnati area. And they're offering all kinds of programs
Speaker 1: that nobody else is doing. But my fundamental point on
Speaker 1: this is if you retain the Shabri Group of Keler Williams,
Speaker 1: you're going to get quality real estate agents, whether you
Speaker 1: either're a buyer's agent for you or a seller's agent.
Speaker 1: And my favorite program they offer is get out of
Speaker 1: Dodge program. It's not what it is. But if you
Speaker 1: just want to skip the hassle of traditional sales process,
Speaker 1: which I know because I've been through it more my
Speaker 1: wife than me, because I moved down here and started
Speaker 1: working at the new job. I left her with the
Speaker 1: task of keeping the house clean and ready and in
Speaker 1: order and getting the dogs out while other people showed
Speaker 1: up to look at the house. You know, it's a headache,
Speaker 1: it's a hassle. Don't have to do that. Skip the
Speaker 1: hassle of traditional process. Get in touch with the SBRI group.
Speaker 1: Within forty eight hours of them seeing your home, they
Speaker 1: will have a cash offer for you. You can close
Speaker 1: as quickly as fourteen days after that. So if you
Speaker 1: have a property you want to unload quickly, you don't
Speaker 1: want to deal with a headache and hassle of showing it.
Speaker 1: Called the Shebri group today go to seven zero eight
Speaker 1: three thousand dot com or call five one three seven
Speaker 1: zero eight three thousand. If you can't remember that, just
Speaker 1: remember SBRI c Cha b RS group and use your
Speaker 1: search engine. It'll pop right up Schabrie Group, Kellowaiams seven
Speaker 1: Hills and please tell them. Brian said, high.

Speaker 7: bit at the Carrol Cropper Bridge. Blow the Lawrence Part ramp.
Speaker 7: Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs. The talk station.
Speaker 1: Six thirty fifty five KRC Detalk station A Happy Tuesday
Speaker 1: extra special because we get Ken Cover, FOP President for
Speaker 1: the CINCINNT Police Department, six chapter sixty nine, Ken Kober,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning show.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Now this topic low or no bond for some pretty
Speaker 1: significant offenses. Do the police officers react to this? I mean,
Speaker 1: are there Do they get upset when someone's let out
Speaker 1: on un recognizance when they have been oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: arrested for carrying concealed weapons and properly handing a firearm,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Is this something that
Speaker 1: you know you sort of take personally?
Speaker 9: Oh well, there's no doubt the frustration of having an
Speaker 9: armed encounter with a suspect, and I wanted to find
Speaker 9: out that they get an O or bond is something
Speaker 9: that I constantly get calls out. And as we saw
Speaker 9: last week, as I started getting calls, I figured out
Speaker 9: real quick which judge was in roomy. And it makes
Speaker 9: complete sense because we let everybody out. The reign of
Speaker 9: terror for Judge Silverstein has finally ended. She's not in Romayne.
Speaker 2: It this week?
Speaker 1: Oh this week, but what of next week?
Speaker 9: Well, thank god, it's only about they do a rotation,
Speaker 9: so all the municipal court judges have to do a
Speaker 9: week at a time.
Speaker 2: So luckily we only have for about four times a year.
Speaker 1: Okay, but she's the biggest offender in terms of low
Speaker 1: or no bond and at least in terms of your
Speaker 1: perception of how the judges handle bond situations.
Speaker 9: By far, by far the worst. And you know, in
Speaker 9: twenty twenty two, Issue one was passed by the voters
Speaker 9: that said judges will consider public safety when issuing bail,
Speaker 9: and it's something she just refuses to do. And apparently
Speaker 9: she just snubs her nose to the voters of Ohio.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you're not a lawyer, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what the procedures are, but it seems to
Speaker 1: me that someone might subject her to sort of an
Speaker 1: ethical review or a caller on the carpet for not
Speaker 1: paying attention to what the law requires. I know, this
Speaker 1: all enters in the realm of subjectivity. You're sitting on
Speaker 1: the bench and you've got to decide what the bond's
Speaker 1: going to be set in. But you know, look like,
Speaker 1: for example, this Andre Thomas person trafficking and drugs, multiple
Speaker 1: counts of trafficking drugs, possession drugs, multiple counts, champering with evidence, vandalism.
Speaker 1: I mean all these during one particular incident. That sounds
Speaker 1: like a person who is a threat to society.
Speaker 2: Without a doubt. I mean, we saw it last week.
Speaker 9: I mean there were people that were convicted falons for
Speaker 9: carrying guns, convicted of violent felonies, felonious assault, shootings, things
Speaker 9: like that, that get rearrested after having been convicted, only
Speaker 9: to get our bonds and released right back down.
Speaker 2: Of the community.
Speaker 9: It's something that's certainly creating a massive danger to the
Speaker 9: residents and the citizens the visitors of Hamilton County.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a recidivist, that's someone who did not learn a
Speaker 1: lesson from the criminal justice system, which is if you
Speaker 1: commit crimes, you're going to face some punishment. Clearly, there
Speaker 1: wasn't enough punishment there and they aren't facing any repercussions,
Speaker 1: so there's no disincentive. Screw it, I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: out and start dealing drugs again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 9: I mean the most egregious one, or one of the
Speaker 9: more egregious ones, I'll say, was an eighteen year old
Speaker 9: who was caught a gun. He's not under disability because
Speaker 9: he had previously been convicted, but now he's eighteen. He
Speaker 9: got an O R bond but was held on a
Speaker 9: parole holder, so they took him over to eight twenty
Speaker 9: four Broadway Juvenile Court to answer to this parole holder,
Speaker 9: only to be unhandcuffed, and then when he realized that
Speaker 9: he was going to be held, he escaped from a
Speaker 9: twenty four Broadway. Thankfully, Thankfully he was rearrested. But this
Speaker 9: is this is what's going on in Hamilton County with
Speaker 9: certain judges, and it's got to stop.
Speaker 1: We'll take the case of Frederic Weisch, released on his
Speaker 1: own recognizance. Count A carrying a concealed weapon, County improperly
Speaker 1: handling firearms in a motor vehicle count see having weapons
Speaker 1: while under disability count the failed to comply with an
Speaker 1: order or signal of the police officer, so uncooperative on
Speaker 1: top of everything else, out on his own recognizance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was another one I posted last week.
Speaker 9: A guy that's a convicted felon from federal gun and
Speaker 9: drug charges did a federal sentence guy back out. He
Speaker 9: was another one that was stopped, ran from the police.
Speaker 9: He was drunk, head cocaine, had another gun, and we'll
Speaker 9: just give these people o our bonds.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you're bringing this to the public's attention
Speaker 1: because obviously elections have consequences, and this was a bad consequence.
Speaker 1: Do you know when this judge is up for re election?
Speaker 9: Unfortunately not till twenty twenty nine. Oh no, because there
Speaker 9: are six year terms with the municipal court. And that's
Speaker 9: why I actually had posted on our social media page
Speaker 9: that it was the district that she has includes Anderson Township,
Speaker 9: New Town, Norwood in Fairfax. Those are the folks that
Speaker 9: are responsible for getting her into this office.
Speaker 1: Anderson Township. Hmm, that's rather interesting. Wonder what Andrew pappas
Speaker 1: former trustee has to say about that. Well, it's it.
Speaker 1: We're at a break, so let's bring you back and
Speaker 1: we'll have a little bit further conversation about this because
Speaker 1: it's frustrating. But it doesn't seem as though there's anything
Speaker 1: else we can do about it other than keep raising
Speaker 1: awareness about this. We'll see if there's opportunities for us
Speaker 1: to do this pause, we'll bring Ken Cobra back Fop
Speaker 1: President Ken Cover. It's six thirty five fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: detalk station. That'll give me an opportunity to mention my
Speaker 1: favorite auto repair shop, Foreign Exchange, west Chester location. My
Speaker 1: friend Austin has assembled an amazing team of ASE certified
Speaker 1: Master technicians. They can work on any type of traditionally
Speaker 1: imported manufactured car, like from Europe or Asia. You got
Speaker 1: an exotic car, take it to Foreign Exchange. You got
Speaker 1: a run of the mill car, take it to Foreign
Speaker 1: Exchange and you'll get it fixed. You'll get a full
Speaker 1: warranty on both parts and service, and you won't pay
Speaker 1: as much as the dealer and quite often a substantial savings.
Speaker 1: I regularly mentioned my oil change, so here I'm doing
Speaker 1: it again. A simple oil change for my car at
Speaker 1: the dealer is like four hundred and fifty bucks. I
Speaker 1: get the same oil and the same filter at Foreign
Speaker 1: Exchange for a little over two hundred bucks. I call
Speaker 1: that a significant saving. It's like half or more than half.
Speaker 1: So why Lord knows why they charge so much of
Speaker 1: the dealer. But you don't have to get down that road.
Speaker 1: And car repairs have gotten more and more expensive, just
Speaker 1: like everything inflationary, plessure pressure's, supply chain issues. It's just
Speaker 1: going to cost you a heat blow. So don't get
Speaker 1: down that road. Go to the road that leads to
Speaker 1: Foreign Exchange Westchester location. That's Tylersville Road off seventy five.
Speaker 1: Go east off that exit two streets. It's I mean
Speaker 1: like an eighth of a mile. If hanging right on
Speaker 1: Kingland Drive and you run right into that wonderful shop,
Speaker 1: they'll treat you great. They're wonderful people. They're very friendly.
Speaker 1: If you want to talk to the mechanic, you have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that at Foreign Exchange, unlike the dealer,
Speaker 1: where you have to deal with the service manager exclusively.
Speaker 1: So get a full warranty on parts and service. Put
Speaker 1: a smile on your face for not having to pay
Speaker 1: as much five one three six four four twenty six

Speaker 1: time for a traffic update.
Speaker 7: Totably you see of tramping center. Around forty percent of
Speaker 7: cancers are preventable. Lifestyle changes and screenings can make a difference.
Speaker 7: Called five one three five eighty five. You see see
Speaker 7: see a couple of heavy spots on the highways now.
Speaker 7: The heaviest is south Bend two seventy five break lights
Speaker 7: between the Lawrence Perg ramp and the work on the
Speaker 7: Carroll Crawford Bridge. That's getting close to an extra five
Speaker 7: minutes northbound seventy five beginning to slow down between Dixie
Speaker 7: and Kyle's shock INGRAMOM fifty five KR see the talk station.
Speaker 1: Brig Thomas here with FLP President Ken Coble for this
Speaker 1: to say, police, we're talking about the low or zero
Speaker 1: bond un recognizance bond, and the problem seems to lie
Speaker 1: in the lap of Municipal Court Judge Samantha Silverstein, who
Speaker 1: we had a couple of demonstral illustrations of someone who
Speaker 1: should have had a much higher bond, absolutely representing a
Speaker 1: danger to society which they are required to consider, and
Speaker 1: apparently she's not. Now is she defying or running against
Speaker 1: I guess fundamentally, are the prosecutors asking for a higher
Speaker 1: bond and she's just denying that? Or are has the
Speaker 1: change of the prosecutor's office under now Connie Pillage not
Speaker 1: pushing for higher bonds?
Speaker 9: No, I mean they're still asking for bonds. She's made
Speaker 9: up her mind and when she ran, she ran on
Speaker 9: being this social justice bail reform person. So it's no
Speaker 9: surprise that she's holding true to what she said that
Speaker 9: she was going to do. So you go in there
Speaker 9: in front of her in room May and she'll say, well,
Speaker 9: how much money is it? How much money do you
Speaker 9: have to be able to get out today? And if
Speaker 9: you say I don't have any money, then she goes,
Speaker 9: we'll just give you no our bond.
Speaker 1: Okay, right. I don't know how that represents social justice,
Speaker 1: my friend. This is someone who has committed a crime,
Speaker 1: and especially notably the recidivus, those who have already been
Speaker 1: before a judge and been convicted on crimes. They have
Speaker 1: demonstrably illustrated that they are criminals engaging in criminal behavior,
Speaker 1: and the justice system has any impact on them. Because
Speaker 1: they continue to do it, they represent a threat to
Speaker 1: the very community that she thinks she's serving through social justice.
Speaker 9: That's what your listeners have to understand. I'm not complaining
Speaker 9: about somebody that picks up a theft charge or a
Speaker 9: dy you not that those aren't, you know, crimes, not
Speaker 9: that those aren't things that you should be put forward.
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about the.
Speaker 9: People that are the worst of the worst, the people
Speaker 9: that are committing violent crimes over and over and over again.
Speaker 9: Those are the ones that need to be held and
Speaker 9: make them as they're going to make a bond, make
Speaker 9: them heave an investment. Yeah, so that way we know
Speaker 9: they're going to come back to court, and that's just
Speaker 9: not being done.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, under Prosecutor Melissa Powers, she rallied against
Speaker 1: this all the time. She was outspoken on the subject.
Speaker 1: She was reported in the paper she would post things
Speaker 1: on her Facebook social media showing these ridiculous low to
Speaker 1: no bond situations with very dangerous people. Does Connie Pilach
Speaker 1: have any say on this? Has she uttered a syllable
Speaker 1: about this? What you and I perceive to be problem?
Speaker 2: I have not heard her say anything public about this.
Speaker 1: Well, I know she's busy protesting in front of Tesla Joe.
Speaker 1: I know that she's got more important things on her plate.
Speaker 1: I suppose, wow, I mean, other than just bringing this
Speaker 1: to our attention, is really is there anything we can
Speaker 1: do about it? If she's so defiant and refuses to
Speaker 1: follow Ohio law on this matter, I guess we're just
Speaker 1: kind of stuck, aren't we.
Speaker 9: Well, the only solution to this, if there really were
Speaker 9: to be a solution, it's kind of There's two options.
Speaker 9: One is for the public to file complaints with the
Speaker 9: Supreme Court, because that's ultimately who would hear these things?
Speaker 2: Are they going to do anything about it?
Speaker 9: It depends I think it's likely not just because judges
Speaker 9: are given a certain not a latitude. But the only
Speaker 9: true answer to be able to get rid of this
Speaker 9: would be an attempt to have somebody you know, create
Speaker 9: a coalition and have her recalled. I know it's been
Speaker 9: done out West with mayors and other elected positions, but
Speaker 9: that's really the only recourse it would be to have
Speaker 9: her recalled.
Speaker 1: Well, that sounds like an outstanding idea under the circumstances,
Speaker 1: because these are not one off things. This same judge
Speaker 1: time and time and time again does exactly what we're
Speaker 1: talking about here this morning, so we have a long
Speaker 1: record of it, and I think that might justify a
Speaker 1: recall petition. So maybe someone that the listening audience can
Speaker 1: spearhead that and we might get some justice and some
Speaker 1: safety for our communities, because clearly communities are in jeopardy
Speaker 1: when folks like this are let out without bond, without
Speaker 1: a stake in the action, and with no incentive to
Speaker 1: stop their criminal activities. Well, I wish it was better
Speaker 1: news from you today, but but often we have to
Speaker 1: deliver the bad in order to bring about change, and
Speaker 1: you've done that for my listening audience today. Ken, real
Speaker 1: quick here I had a caller earlier moving over to
Speaker 1: that Evendale situation. I hate to put you on the spot,
Speaker 1: but under what circumstances would have been And I don't
Speaker 1: know if names were taken down, but one of my
Speaker 1: callers earlier this morning seemed to suggest it would have
Speaker 1: been a good idea for the police to gather up
Speaker 1: names and identification to know who these people were. I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe some evidence of a crime. I pop
Speaker 1: up later someone had video footage of someone maybe hitting
Speaker 1: somebody on the head. Is can you do that if
Speaker 1: you're not aware or have a reasonable, articulable suspicion of
Speaker 1: a crime or probable cause? Are you still allowed to
Speaker 1: ask for and get someone's name and write it down.
Speaker 9: Well, you can ask, but they don't have to give
Speaker 9: it to you unless you're investigating a crime. And I
Speaker 9: know that this is a very heated topic.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 9: I don't blame them the things that going on that
Speaker 9: was absolutely ridiculous, but I do know that the police's
Speaker 9: main objective in that situation, especially when you're dealing with
Speaker 9: people that are armed, is to make sure no big
Speaker 9: gets shot. Right, So their main objective is to make
Speaker 9: sure that the people that are causing this confrontation as
Speaker 9: well as the people that are you know, highly charged
Speaker 9: about this and emotionally charged, and I get it. Is
Speaker 9: to make sure that this ends peacefully. That's the main objective.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he did acknowledge that and give you probs for,
Speaker 1: you know, de escalating. That was most the best of
Speaker 1: a result that could have happened that day under the circumstances.
Speaker 1: So I was just merely inquiring because I didn't I
Speaker 1: don't know one way or the other, under what circumstances
Speaker 1: you can get their names. You point out that they
Speaker 1: don't have to give it unless there's a crime being investigated.
Speaker 1: So maybe that you tried, not you specifically, maybe the
Speaker 1: police tried and we're denied. But there was no reporting
Speaker 1: one way or another on even whether that effort was
Speaker 1: engaged in. So we were just merely speculating about the circumstances.
Speaker 1: But I appreciate you addressing it and clearing the air
Speaker 1: for can for us, Ken Coober, keep up the great
Speaker 1: work and God bless us. Since a police department, you
Speaker 1: least have great support among my listening audience for the
Speaker 1: work that you're doing keeping communities safe and of course
Speaker 1: bringing this ridiculous bond situation to everyone's attention.
Speaker 2: All right, Brian, well thanks for having me. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1: over to the phone and see what Jamie's got to
Speaker 1: say this morning. Jamie, welcome to the Morning Show and
Speaker 1: a happy Tuesday.
Speaker 10: Thanks Bryan, good morning. Two kind of random comments. One,
Speaker 10: My husband and I were at the vak's announcement last night.
Speaker 10: It was amazing. His wife also spoke. You can just
Speaker 10: tell they're just an authentic, energized couple that is going
Speaker 10: to bring really really good things to Ohio.
Speaker 6: That was very.
Speaker 1: Exciting and brilliant both of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, resumes
Speaker 1: are just insane. It's like, you know, having an Elon
Speaker 1: Musk type of person running for government the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: That both of them are just absolutely off the charts geniuses.
Speaker 10: Yeah, what a blessing it is for us to be
Speaker 10: potentially claiming him. My other comment is, you were talking
Speaker 10: about Children's Hospital, and I think a lot of people
Speaker 10: feel like what you said about your family receiving you know,
Speaker 10: amazing care, and my family has as well, But it
Speaker 10: doesn't take away from from the things that they're doing
Speaker 10: that are that are awful, you know, including the transgender
Speaker 10: and hormone blockers. And so it's like this facade is
Speaker 10: out there and they can't be touched because they're so
Speaker 10: wonderful and gives such wonderful care. But on the flip side,
Speaker 10: they're doing the opposite.
Speaker 1: Well, I can't deny that, but I suppose, you know,
Speaker 1: when it comes to that gender reassignment stuff, and I
Speaker 1: firmly do not believe in that. I mean, the idea
Speaker 1: of a young person who has not enough life experience
Speaker 1: to make these life literally life changing decisions, would be
Speaker 1: recommended to go through this by some physician whose obligation
Speaker 1: under the Hipocratic oath is to do no harm. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who've gone through gender
Speaker 1: transition that regretted it, like there's no tomorrow. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're out there screaming and yelling, but please do not
Speaker 1: do this. I was young, I was uninformed, I was
Speaker 1: steered in that direction by physicians. They have an obvious
Speaker 1: profit motive to do that, right, I mean that and
Speaker 1: loan should taint the whole thing. But you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And I don't know if anybody, your callers or
Speaker 10: your listeners rather know about the story in Texas, who
Speaker 10: has the largest children's hospital, they had a doctor to
Speaker 10: come out and being a whistleblow because they were saying
Speaker 10: that they had stopped all of the gender care and
Speaker 10: they hadn't. And he actually had charges, bogus charges brought
Speaker 10: against him about some kind of data breach, which actually
Speaker 10: those charges were dropped a few weeks ago. But I mean,
Speaker 10: I think, you know, like like you were talking about
Speaker 10: Melissa Powers being defiant, I think these hospitals are are
Speaker 10: going to be defiant with this as these new laws
Speaker 10: come down, and it's going to take somebody braids to
Speaker 10: step out and speak against it that's within the system.
Speaker 1: Well, or a prosecutor if they're violating the law by
Speaker 1: engaging in these gender transitions for people under the age
Speaker 1: of whatever the law in any given state says, then
Speaker 1: they could be prosecuted for doing it. It only takes
Speaker 1: one person to come out and say no, they're doing
Speaker 1: it to me, or some family to step up and
Speaker 1: say no, they recommended to send us over to the
Speaker 1: gender transition department, and I guess they're still doing it
Speaker 1: and then be subjected to the state law. There's hope
Speaker 1: built into the equation right there, and I just like
Speaker 1: to think that hopefully in some near future point, some
Speaker 1: point in the near future will reflect back on this
Speaker 1: like other European countries have, that this is not proper,
Speaker 1: that this is not something that is positive for young people,
Speaker 1: that counseling is the direction to go, and that's what
Speaker 1: was the norm for so long. If someone was of
Speaker 1: the mind that they were actually the opposite sex, then
Speaker 1: they would sit them down on the psychiatrist's couch or
Speaker 1: the psychologist's couch or the counselor's couch, and they'd walk
Speaker 1: through that and talk to them about the reality of life.
Speaker 1: And that merely by cutting something off or sewing something on,
Speaker 1: if you go all the way down that path, it
Speaker 1: simply does not change your biological reality. You merely have
Speaker 1: a physical outward physical change, and that you will not
Speaker 1: get the enjoyment of let's just say it out loud,
Speaker 1: sex enjoyment with a false you know, genital there are
Speaker 1: multiple complications that go along with it. It's just not
Speaker 1: the same. I can accept someone of that mindset. I
Speaker 1: mentioned previously dated and anorexic girl a long time ago,
Speaker 1: and you know, that's just what she was. And you
Speaker 1: know she looked in the mirror and believed that there
Speaker 1: was a fat person right there. That's what she saw.
Speaker 1: That's a reality, even though she wasn't. So that's where
Speaker 1: we need. We will live with people like that. We
Speaker 1: like to hope for the better, and we like to
Speaker 1: hope the counseling and education and training can work them
Speaker 1: through these problems. But you know, if you want to
Speaker 1: be a go through life believing that you are someone else,
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. My problem is it's
Speaker 1: the harm that it's doing two really young people get
Speaker 1: through eighteen years of life at least before you make
Speaker 1: a life altering decision like that. Don't take that decision
Speaker 1: making out of the hands of parents. Parents need to
Speaker 1: be thoroughly engaged in this process. They're there to protect
Speaker 1: their young person, and maybe some people out my listening
Speaker 1: to audience no One, someone who's been this way and said,
Speaker 1: you know, no what, actually I'm not peer pressure pushed
Speaker 1: them into making this this change. Yes I'm actually a
Speaker 1: woman when no, no, no no, I outgrew that. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. The more life experience you have, the more
Speaker 1: you can practically evaluate situations and make informed decisions on
Speaker 1: your own.
Speaker 3: Behalf.
Speaker 1: I don't really truly believe an eight year old is
Speaker 1: in a position to do that. Six p. Fifty seven
Speaker 1: fifty five cares to the Talk station The special Big
Speaker 1: Picture with Jack atherden Is Trump Kaludi with putin Jack
Speaker 1: Atherden Up.
Speaker 8: Next, news happens fast, stay up to date at the
Speaker 8: top of the hour, moving very quickly.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk Station and very happy Tuesday
Speaker 1: to you. Extra special as always of this time we
Speaker 1: get to hear from our good friend, brilliant historian, lawyer,
Speaker 1: former anchorman and author, Jack Atherton. Always a pleasure to
Speaker 1: have you on my program, Jack, and enjoyed having you
Speaker 1: and your beautiful wife Ames over for dinner this past
Speaker 1: Saturday night.
Speaker 11: Wasn't that fun?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 11: Agree Weather, I'm feeling great today because as Francis. President
Speaker 11: Macrome just said at the White House we could be
Speaker 11: on the verge of lasting peace in Ukraine thanks to
Speaker 11: Donald Trump. That's what macrohme said. Maybe, just maybe, Brian,
Speaker 11: the rest of the world doesn't want Trump to get
Speaker 11: credit for that. So the UN chose yesterday to condemn Russia,
Speaker 11: a resolution the US opposed, along with Israel, which has
Speaker 11: been condemned by the UN itself more than one hundred
Speaker 11: and ninety times. Actually, eighteen nations supposed yesterday's resolution, and
Speaker 11: the news isn't telling you this. Sixty five nations abstained.
Speaker 11: Yet all we hear about is Trump. But Brian, who cares.
Speaker 11: The last time the anti American UN seem relevant to
Speaker 11: me was when I was a kid collecting coins for
Speaker 11: UNISEF at Halloween.
Speaker 1: Did you do that too?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: I did not participate it.
Speaker 2: You always hated the UN?
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 11: Look, what does matter is that after Trump reaches a deal,
Speaker 11: Europe now wants to place peacekeeping forces inside Ukraine like
Speaker 11: the ones we've had in South Korea for seventy years.
Speaker 11: And instead of giving Ukraine a blank check to continue
Speaker 11: with three year bloody stalemate, Trump wants the US to
Speaker 11: invest in Ukraine's rare earth minerals to give us a
Speaker 11: stake in a peaceful future. So peace at last, not
Speaker 11: for Democrats. Voters have rejected every single one of their policies,
Speaker 11: from open borders to inflationary waste. Democrats are now replaying
Speaker 11: their greatest hit, Russia. Russia, Russia, the lie that Donald
Speaker 11: Trump is colluding with Vladimir Putin. That lie led to
Speaker 11: a two year probe by Special Council Robert Muller that
Speaker 11: uncovered nothing because there was nothing to uncover, and the
Speaker 11: Russia lie led to a failed impeachment that exposed our
Speaker 11: own intelligence agencies, including the corrupt FBI. Yet Democrats are
Speaker 11: trotting out Russia once again because Donald Trump wants to
Speaker 11: end the slaughter in Ukraine and pressure both Zelensky and
Speaker 11: Putin to accept reality. Brian, what is that reality? We
Speaker 11: do history, friends, So let's go back to World War II.
Speaker 11: At the end of the war, Franklin Roosevelt at the
Speaker 11: Yolta Conference gave Stalin a free pass to annex eastern Europe.
Speaker 11: Three hundred million people lived behind the Iron Curtain for
Speaker 11: the next fifty years, including Ukrainians. Harry Truman finally stood
Speaker 11: up to Stalin, and the Cold War turned scorching hot
Speaker 11: for American soldiers in Korea and Vietnam. The Cold War
Speaker 11: only ended when Ronald Reagan ramped up to torrence in
Speaker 11: Europe with medium range ballistic missiles and a Strategic Defense
Speaker 11: Initiative SDI, which Democrats attacked. Reagan's peaceful deterrence led to
Speaker 11: something no one expected to see in our lifetime, the
Speaker 11: collapse of the Soviet Union. One consequence of that collapse
Speaker 11: was that Ukraine became the world's third biggest nuclear power,
Speaker 11: thanks to weapons that the USSR left behind after nineteen
Speaker 11: ninety one. You didn't mess with Ukraine until Bill Clinton
Speaker 11: and Russia to defend Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine's surrendering
Speaker 11: their nukes.
Speaker 2: Where did that lead?
Speaker 11: In twenty fourteen, Vladimir Putin seized Ukraine's key port Crimea,
Speaker 11: and Barack Obama, in response sent Ukraine blankets. Wait, it
Speaker 11: gets worse. In twenty twenty two, Joe Biden said he
Speaker 11: could live with Russia launching quote a minor incursion. Biden
Speaker 11: appeared to be inviting Putin to seize Ukraine's eastern pro
Speaker 11: Russian territories. What's called the Dunbass region that Putin now
Speaker 11: controls Now Biden had already declared war, not on Russia,
Speaker 11: not on anything. On Trump's energy independence that drove up
Speaker 11: the value of Putin's oil and natural gas. Sky high
Speaker 11: energy prices financed Putin's invasion, as well as Iran's funding
Speaker 11: off hamas Hesbola and Huthi terrorists. Neither Putin nor the
Speaker 11: Ayatola's inspected Biden because they had seen the cowardly way
Speaker 11: he betrayed our allies and our soldiers in Afghanistan. The
Speaker 11: upshot is that Putin not only invaded eastern Ukraine, he
Speaker 11: tried taking Kiev and the entire country. Biden responded by
Speaker 11: giving Ukraine just enough arms and money to keep this
Speaker 11: war going indefinitely, all to the benefit of America's bloated
Speaker 11: military industrial complex. This Brian is what Trump inherited. A
Speaker 11: million casualties, a country that looks like Hiroshima, and no
Speaker 11: end in sight to the fighting. So Trump is now
Speaker 11: working to once again bring down the price of oil
Speaker 11: and gas. You talked before about the Keystone Excel pipeline
Speaker 11: that Obama and Biden tried to end, Well, Trump is
Speaker 11: going to bring it back. That will choke off Putin's revenue. Meantime,
Speaker 11: the quickest and most human way to end this war
Speaker 11: is to do let's go way. We should do what
Speaker 11: Teddy Roosevelt did during the Russian Japanese War in nineteen
Speaker 11: oh five. Negotiate a deal, not a perfect deal. There
Speaker 11: is no perfect deal to be had. Zelenski wants not
Speaker 11: only the land that Biden surrendered, he also wants the
Speaker 11: port that Obama surrendered. You can't blame him, but look,
Speaker 11: Putin is a villain, but he is the villain now
Speaker 11: holding most of the cards because in a war of attrition,
Speaker 11: Putin can keep sacrificing his vastly bigger armed forces, not
Speaker 11: to mention Korean forces that are joining him, and Putin
Speaker 11: can threaten a nuclear attack. Putin is demanding to keep
Speaker 11: those eastern territories that are pro Russian. Is this fair No,
Speaker 11: But as Jimmy Carter said, life is not fair. Heroic
Speaker 11: Ukraine cannot get all at once without the US going
Speaker 11: to war, a world war with Russia. So in this stalemate,
Speaker 11: Trump is trying to save lives on both sides, and
Speaker 11: he wants American taxpayers to quit financing a ruinous war
Speaker 11: that never would have started had Trump remained president in
Speaker 11: twenty twenty one. Putin did not seize a single acre
Speaker 11: of land during Trump's first term. One last thing, Brian,
Speaker 11: the left is now squealing about Zelensky being insulted because
Speaker 11: Trump talked to Putin first, folks. That's the way Trump operates.
Speaker 11: He's not looking to copy Vietnam's Paris peace talks, where
Speaker 11: it took months to decide on the shape of the
Speaker 11: table and we still wound up evacuating from Saigon in helicopters. Yes,
Speaker 11: Trump knows Putin started this war after getting a green
Speaker 11: light from Biden. The reality now is that Trump is
Speaker 11: looking for concessions that both sides can live with. Peace
Speaker 11: is in side, Brian, Let's not be blinded by never Trumper's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent analysis, Jack, And as always, you do a
Speaker 1: wonderful job incorporating history to get to the point you're making.
Speaker 1: It's just a brilliant, brilliant thing you do, and my
Speaker 1: listeners thoroughly appreciate it, as do I, and can I
Speaker 1: ask you wasn't one of the reasons the Soviet Union
Speaker 1: collapse is because it was so economically backward, and because,
Speaker 1: of course the structure of the country and the political
Speaker 1: philosophy of the country, but also backward in so many
Speaker 1: other ways. But because they couldn't keep up with the
Speaker 1: arms race, they couldn't keep up with the militarization of
Speaker 1: the NATO countries. He mentioned about Ronald Reagan placing the
Speaker 1: strategic missiles there and that that led to their economic collapse.
Speaker 11: Look what's going on right now. Trump is pushing the
Speaker 11: NATO countries to come up to their two percent obligation
Speaker 11: on military spending, and many of them have, including France.
Speaker 11: Trump now wants them to go up to five percent
Speaker 11: to help pay for this war and the peacekeeping and
Speaker 11: all the rest. What is Russia pay at this point
Speaker 11: ten percent? And of course China is paying even more
Speaker 11: than that. Yeah, they tried to keep up with us.
Speaker 11: Why Ronald Reagan was brilliant enough to realize, let's start
Speaker 11: a whole different kind of defense that Russia will feel
Speaker 11: threatened by. But what was not threatening SDI what the
Speaker 11: Democrats called Star Wars, was a defense mechanism like Israel's
Speaker 11: Iron Dome. But Russia couldn't keep up with that, and
Speaker 11: they had all kinds of other problems. Their economy was
Speaker 11: a mess. It was you waited online six hours to
Speaker 11: get a pair of shoes that didn't fit well.
Speaker 1: And I also noticed there was a headline and can't
Speaker 1: recall which news outlet. I wouldn't have printed it if
Speaker 1: it wasn't at least a justifiable, reliable news outlet. But next,
Speaker 1: German Chancellor of Frederick Murray, harshly criticized as Trump and
Speaker 1: must says NATO could be finished soon, calls for quote
Speaker 1: independent European defense capabilities. And I'm thinking to myself, you know,
Speaker 1: part of my comment about Russia going bankrupt basically and
Speaker 1: falling because of the arms race. We spend eight hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty billion dollars a year on arms and that's
Speaker 1: breaking our bank literally. Now if this maybe, I don't
Speaker 1: think we're necessarily going to break with NATO. But if
Speaker 1: they are going to start arming themselves and creating their
Speaker 1: own defense capabilities, isn't that something they should have been
Speaker 1: doing all along? They've been kicking back and let us
Speaker 1: become the police force of the world and spending the
Speaker 1: money that they would otherwise spend on their own defense
Speaker 1: on their own countries elsewhere.
Speaker 11: The price that we paid for winning World War Two
Speaker 11: is that we consider the rest of the world to
Speaker 11: be dependent on us. We're the greatest nation in the
Speaker 11: history of the world, and one of the greatest moments
Speaker 11: in our history. We've often talked about this was the
Speaker 11: Marshall Plan in Europe and the reconstruction of Japan after
Speaker 11: we help them come up with a democratic constitution. Yes,
Speaker 11: Europe is no longer a dependent body of land. They're
Speaker 11: no longer at the EU or NATO needing to feed
Speaker 11: off of the United States to hide behind us for
Speaker 11: their protection. Absolutely, does that mean that we break with NATO.
Speaker 11: Macrone wasn't talking about that. I mean, it was a
Speaker 11: LoveFest yesterday with it was so Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 11: But by all means Europe should be paid for more
Speaker 11: of this defense. After all, the money that Europe is
Speaker 11: saving by not spending on defense is going toward socialism.
Speaker 11: Who needs to subsidize that?
Speaker 1: I know, Well, the socialists need the subsidization because socialism
Speaker 1: doesn't work.
Speaker 11: Our democrats, I mean, that's what they want us to
Speaker 11: spend all of our money on, and the money that
Speaker 11: we haven't had for decades.
Speaker 1: Well, and one more point I think I need to
Speaker 1: make is in terms of energy policy. I mean, Europe's
Speaker 1: kneecapped itself. They pursued this green agenda for so long
Speaker 1: they've cut off all of their own resources. They refuse
Speaker 1: to tap into resources. They think they can rely on
Speaker 1: windmills and solar panels. Germany most notably doesn't have any
Speaker 1: of its own power, which means they have to rely
Speaker 1: on what energy bought from Russia. As I understand it,
Speaker 1: let's see here that help of.
Speaker 11: The reasons that World War two started was that Hitler
Speaker 11: was looking for coal. But mers is not as bad
Speaker 11: as Angelo and Mercyl. Oh, now what they've had since then.
Speaker 11: He is somewhat conservative. He is having a partner up
Speaker 11: with even more conservative people, and he's talking about ending
Speaker 11: the illegal immigration and looking for energy independence, and by
Speaker 11: all means, let him spend some money to defend himself.
Speaker 1: Jack Edenan is always just such a joy and pleasure,
Speaker 1: and to have you on the program every week again,
Speaker 1: appreciate your thoughtful analysis, very insightful it always is. So
Speaker 1: you're welcome on the show anytime. And of course thanks
Speaker 1: again for coming over to the house for dinner. We
Speaker 1: just had such a wonderful time the conversation with you
Speaker 1: guys at the table, always always outstanding, just like it
Speaker 1: is here on the morning show today. God bless you
Speaker 1: and you're to your better half and have a wonderful week. Jack,
Speaker 1: look forward to having me back on the program next week.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a partly sunny day to day,

Speaker 1: Congratulations on entering the race, and best of luck to
Speaker 1: a A. I think he's just an absolutely outstanding candidate.
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive at eight thirty. He also will
Speaker 1: be talking about an end of the Russia Ukraine conflict
Speaker 1: and the other other component of IS And I know
Speaker 1: Jack alluded to it, but Trump's talking with Putin not
Speaker 1: just about trying to end the conflict, which is a
Speaker 1: really important thing, but engaging and getting involved economically with
Speaker 1: the United States and Russia because they've got stuff we want.
Speaker 1: Russia obviously wants to improve its economy. I think they'd
Speaker 1: be happy to sell stuff they've got to us to
Speaker 1: improve their economy, and that would allow us to get
Speaker 1: access to Russia's natural resources, you know, rare earth minerals
Speaker 1: and whatever else they have, and not have to rely
Speaker 1: on China for such things. And maybe an improvement of
Speaker 1: relations between Russia and the United States might tear away
Speaker 1: Russia from its you know, cuddling up to China. And
Speaker 1: of course the situation Ukraine between Russia and Ukraine, with
Speaker 1: US being the lead agitator by providing all the weapons
Speaker 1: of Ukraine them into each other's arms. We've seen that
Speaker 1: relationship develop over the years, because you know, you go
Speaker 1: back to the Cold War era, so the Chinese and
Speaker 1: the Russians didn't play along nicely at all. And I
Speaker 1: think that may have been mixed one of the reasons.
Speaker 1: And here I am speculating, but it seems logical that
Speaker 1: that may have been one of the reasons Nixon reached
Speaker 1: out to and opened up trade with China. That obviously
Speaker 1: had a delitious effect on Russia. And of course our
Speaker 1: effort was hopefully that they would ultimately become a capitalist
Speaker 1: nation rather than the communist regime that they are by
Speaker 1: improving their lives and their economy through freer trade, their
Speaker 1: lives would improve, and maybe they would get away from communism.
Speaker 1: Clearly that's not what happened, gentlemen, square happened. But if
Speaker 1: we could engage in open trade with Russia, I think
Speaker 1: that would near to everyone's benefit. He's also trying to
Speaker 1: negotiate a similar agreement with Ukraine. Ukraine's got natural resources
Speaker 1: that we want, we would obviously have to extract them
Speaker 1: and buy them. I don't think we're going to get
Speaker 1: him for free. So seemingly valuable infusion of industry and
Speaker 1: capital into Ukraine through whatever's going to happen to have
Speaker 1: to happen to in order to extract these precious resources.
Speaker 1: That sounds to me like something would help Ukraine build.
Speaker 1: And the other thing we can't lose sight of, and
Speaker 1: it's something we talk about with Daniel Davis all the time.
Speaker 1: You know, the folks in Crimea, they're pro Russia. And
Speaker 1: of course, as Jack was talking, I was thinking about
Speaker 1: all those counties in southern Illinois that want to break
Speaker 1: away and join Indiana, or the giant chunk of California
Speaker 1: that wants to break away and form its own safe
Speaker 1: They're held hostage by an administration and a state whose
Speaker 1: policies they have utter disdain for. So I try to
Speaker 1: be objective on this, but the Democrats really just it's
Speaker 1: sort of turned into the reverse of the way we
Speaker 1: were with the Soviet Union. Democrats always objected everything Reagan
Speaker 1: did in defiance of the Soviet Union, and you know,
Speaker 1: we always looked at them as these capitulation and oh
Speaker 1: my god, you're caving to the Soviet Union. So now
Speaker 1: we're the flip side. Now, world's a weird place, you know,
Speaker 1: passage of a couple of decades just flips things on
Speaker 1: top of its head. But I'm trying to be, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of neutral in my analysis on all this, and
Speaker 1: it just seems to me, in the grand scheme of things,
Speaker 1: if we weren't in an arms race with the Russians
Speaker 1: as well as the Chinese, that might inhar to our
Speaker 1: benefits substantially as well. And Russia apparently has a lot
Speaker 1: of uranium. There's another thing. We got quite a few

Speaker 1: Jay Jay, thanks for calling today, welcome, Hey.
Speaker 12: Thanks Brian. He wanted to notify the listeners that there
Speaker 12: is a piece of legislation SB one oh nine that
Speaker 12: is co sponsored by Bill Blessing, so called Republican down
Speaker 12: in near Cincinnati. And this is this is for free
Speaker 12: breakfast and lunch for all public schools. What's amazing is
Speaker 12: the price tag on free these days is three hundred
Speaker 12: million dollars. And I knew inflation was bad, but when
Speaker 12: free goes to three hundred million, uh, that's a lot.
Speaker 12: And this is at a time when everybody's property taxes.
Speaker 12: Remember seventy percent of your property taxes school tax is
Speaker 12: Bill Blessing and people like him continue to put three
Speaker 12: hundred million trunk at a time into school, your property
Speaker 12: tax are going to keep going up. And this is
Speaker 12: also you know, he's kind of needs to read the room.
Speaker 12: This is also the time when the when Doe is
Speaker 12: taking a look at federal programs like for EBT cards
Speaker 12: and finding out that the number one thing being purchased
Speaker 12: with EBT on the rest of our tax dollars. Is
Speaker 12: I believe soft drinks.
Speaker 1: Soft drinks, yes, which I think is at abomination.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so maybe Bill Blessing a Republican rhino. Whoever inflicted
Speaker 12: us with him, listeners, would you please call him? And
Speaker 12: remember Thomas mass He said one time that a normal
Speaker 12: week he'll get one email. So I'm going to ask
Speaker 12: that we get at least ten. But let's shoot for
Speaker 12: one hundred people to light up Bill Blessing's inbox. And also,
Speaker 12: whoever your state senator is, Min's Steve Wilson, and I
Speaker 12: sent him a message and would love to have Steve
Speaker 12: Wilson come on or Bill Blessing. I would love to
Speaker 12: have Bill Blessing come on explain to the listening audience
Speaker 12: how it is he thinks that we can afford this
Speaker 12: because he thought it was just a perfect idea.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your calls very much, Jay, You're always on
Speaker 1: top of things, and yeah, I'll echo your recommendations. The
Speaker 1: best thing to do is get in touch with your
Speaker 1: elected official on so many issues. Because Jay's right, hardly
Speaker 1: hear from anybody. They get ten calls on one subject
Speaker 1: matter of a week. That's like a statistical sampling of
Speaker 1: how the constituents feel and they do take it seriously
Speaker 1: from time to time. Becky, Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Good Morning Morning, Becky.
Speaker 11: Hi.
Speaker 13: I wanted to give a perspective about unrecognizance bond. Several
Speaker 13: years ago. I worked for Hampton County at the Justice
Speaker 13: Center and it was my job to be sure our
Speaker 13: people got.
Speaker 10: Back to court.
Speaker 13: And the system that was used then was based on
Speaker 13: the VIA scale and it was all about the likelihood
Speaker 13: of somebody returning to court and the safety of the community.
Speaker 13: We need to get back to that today. There was
Speaker 13: a wonderful tool that was used by those of us
Speaker 13: in pre trial services and we went through and you
Speaker 13: had to reach a certain.
Speaker 10: Score to qualify for o R.
Speaker 13: If the judge chose to give your even if you
Speaker 13: didn't qualify, then our agency, my job was to try
Speaker 13: to keep you out of trouble and get you back
Speaker 13: to court.
Speaker 1: Well, and that sounds like what the current law requires.
Speaker 1: If you represent a potential flight risk, that's a factor
Speaker 1: they're supposed to take into consideration when establishing the bond rate.
Speaker 1: But also community safety is something that most of the
Speaker 1: liberal judges were ignoring, but that's now been codified into
Speaker 1: law that they're entitled to and should take into consideration
Speaker 1: the safety of the community when considering what.
Speaker 2: The bond is.
Speaker 1: So get it correct. Going back to the old ways
Speaker 1: are the best ways sometimes, right, Becky.
Speaker 13: Yes, I agree. Figure out what to do about these
Speaker 13: Maverick judges who are taking this into their own hands.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know there may be ethics violations or
Speaker 1: judicial canon violations that judge I guess at soular esteem
Speaker 1: might be subjected to, or as someone suggested earlier, perhaps
Speaker 1: a recall petition because apparently she's the biggest offender when
Speaker 1: it comes to letting very very dangerous people out on
Speaker 1: unrecognizance bonds or very very low bonds. Thank you very
Speaker 1: much for the callback. I appreciate you listening in, chiming in, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you, but you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to take a hold here for a moment if you
Speaker 1: don't mind. It's seven thirty six and I want to
Speaker 1: strongly recommended Bud Herbert Motors and Butt Herbert Motors. They
Speaker 1: are the absolute best. You know, it's the multi generation.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be working with the Herbert family members and
Speaker 1: you know, Bud Herbert Motors old motto was, you know,
Speaker 1: the most expensive tool or piece of lawn equipment you're
Speaker 1: gonna buys is a cheap one. And that's true because
Speaker 1: they're not gonna last. You don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1: Last lawnmore. I bought, of course, from Bud Herbert Motors
Speaker 1: after a terrible experience at the box store where you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be working with an owner. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: be working with someone with all the knowledge and experience
Speaker 1: that they have the best customer service in the business.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be working with some regular, run of the
Speaker 1: mill employee. And that's not to be criticizing that employee,
Speaker 1: but you want to work with the right folks, and
Speaker 1: the folks that sell the finest lawn equipment out there.
Speaker 1: Get ready for spring. You hit the ground running fifth
Speaker 1: generation family and operating but Herbert Motors, Butter Motors commas
Speaker 1: where you find them online. They handle the best equipment,
Speaker 1: John Deere, x Mark, huge line of steel power equipment,
Speaker 1: and Honda, of course, which is what I bought. And
Speaker 1: I was told by the Herberts the last lawnmower you'll
Speaker 1: ever have to buy. So I got decades ahead of
Speaker 1: me pushing that thing around the yard. Not that I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to it, but it's nice to know that
Speaker 1: I got a quality piece of equipment and they service
Speaker 1: everything they sell. Come out to my place once a year,

Speaker 1: welcome back, my friends. Always great hearing from you.
Speaker 14: Good morning, Brian, you are a true you and Joe
Speaker 14: are a true patriot.
Speaker 1: Ashould say, thanks, man, I always appreciate hearing that.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you'll have to well it's not an important thing,
Speaker 14: but you'll have to ask Evec if he if he's
Speaker 14: ever looked into the street car.
Speaker 1: So anyway, well, he's a native of Cincinnati. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he knows all about it. And knowing him the way
Speaker 1: I know him from his writings and his speeches and
Speaker 1: his philosophy. Probably not a fan.
Speaker 15: Right right.
Speaker 14: Well, what I was whatting to talk to you about,
Speaker 14: was you hit the nail right on the head with
Speaker 14: just one of the many reasons this last war was
Speaker 14: so horrible, not just everybody making money off of it.
Speaker 14: But you know, when you can't trust Pudin of course,
Speaker 14: but he made a lot of common sense things when
Speaker 14: he talked to Tucker, because he said that, you know,
Speaker 14: after the Cold War, they were all expecting us to
Speaker 14: accept them with open arms and thus make a ton
Speaker 14: of money. I mean, he said, there was no reason
Speaker 14: for all of these leaders in the Communist Party to
Speaker 14: do all the peace talk type stuff that they did
Speaker 14: after the Cold War, and also to have us send
Speaker 14: over our FBI, our logistics people, all these people that
Speaker 14: help them get their country back on to a more
Speaker 14: of a democratic situation, and then we all just pulled
Speaker 14: out for some reason. I don't think you or I
Speaker 14: or anybody else was told why. And he said, you know,
Speaker 14: even you know, he just didn't understand why they didn't
Speaker 14: become our next big friends like we seem to always
Speaker 14: do in history. Whenever we defeat an enemy, we turn
Speaker 14: them into a friend.
Speaker 16: And he made it sound like we needed a bad
Speaker 16: guy and we couldn't live without a bad guy, and
Speaker 16: at that time, China wasn't.
Speaker 6: The biggest bad guy.
Speaker 14: So I just think that there's a lot of things
Speaker 14: I don't think we've been told as American citizens about
Speaker 14: this latest war, especially you know, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 14: a big Putin fan, but still he is a leader
Speaker 14: of a country. He has to do certain things to
Speaker 14: stay in power. And if we continually break our word
Speaker 14: to them, like yeah, well we'll we'll add yet another
Speaker 14: country to NATO, We'll add another country to NATRO, even
Speaker 14: though we tell him when he meets with us that
Speaker 14: we're not going to do that. And you know, I
Speaker 14: just think that there's a lot of things that we
Speaker 14: don't know, and I hope that the Trump administration can
Speaker 14: bring that to light and let us know why this
Speaker 14: this last war, besides money, would is really fought and
Speaker 14: why we're not working so much harder to make Russia
Speaker 14: into that economic friend that both of us could benefit
Speaker 14: from and even Ukraine tip benefit. I mean, the United
Speaker 14: States can really do a lot for a country, and
Speaker 14: if we're not doing that. I kind of wonder why
Speaker 14: we're not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you completely, and you know it's
Speaker 1: not just one sided. You know, if we engaged in
Speaker 1: better relations with them, we would benefit economically and they
Speaker 1: would benefit economically. It's certainly a excuse me, get ready
Speaker 1: to sneeze. It's a two way street. And if everybody
Speaker 1: stands to gain on this, and then we can put
Speaker 1: aside the whole idea of armed conflict because we have
Speaker 1: a cozier relationship, then the world will be a better
Speaker 1: place for that as well. Absolutely, And you know, think
Speaker 1: about the European Union, if if if Trump, think about that,
Speaker 1: if Trump can negotiate an economic stalemate or relationship with
Speaker 1: Russia and this stupid, stupid conflict that's raging right now,
Speaker 1: then nature wouldn't have to worry so much about, oh
Speaker 1: my god, the evil Russians invading, and then the world
Speaker 1: could collectively turn its had an attention toward China, who's
Speaker 1: growing militarily and economically and has designs on basically the
Speaker 1: entire world. See what's going on in the South China Sea,
Speaker 1: and talk to someone who lives in Taiwan. Right, I agree, Well,
Speaker 1: excellent thoughts there, Jeff, and I appreciate you chiming in,
Speaker 1: because that's the way I'm feeling more and more every day.
Speaker 1: This whole idea that we're still fighting the Cold War
Speaker 1: with the Soviet Union is a manufactured concept. And again,
Speaker 1: Pewtin's not a great guy. I mean, he's murdered some
Speaker 1: of some of the people that around him. He's well
Speaker 1: known for that. But you know, I mean he's he's
Speaker 1: basically the dictator of the country we live and work with,
Speaker 1: and and and trade with a whole lot of countries
Speaker 1: who have similar political setups in relations and and and
Speaker 1: you know, dictatorial realities. I mean, Biden was working, you know,
Speaker 1: hand in hand with the Venezuelans for God's sake. So
Speaker 1: why why wasn't that wrong? You just pick and choose
Speaker 1: who are bad guys are? I want to focus on
Speaker 1: the real bad guy, and that right now seems Beijiji
Speaker 1: in Ping in China, notably for all of the hacking
Speaker 1: they've done, they're stealing of our military secrets and other secrets,
Speaker 1: industrial secrets. They're growing military strength, their threats against Taiwan,
Speaker 1: who is an independent nation. Yes, I said that out loud,
Speaker 1: so on and on and on and on. We could go. Thanks,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Jeff five one, three, seven, four nine
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
Speaker 1: talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. All right,
Speaker 1: so you see your doctor. Your doctor says, you know
Speaker 1: you need an echo cardiogram. Here's your prescription. Head on
Speaker 1: down to the hospital imaging department. Make sure you go
Speaker 1: to this particular hospital because that's the one that owns
Speaker 1: my practice. That's why they send you there. Honestly, where
Speaker 1: you'll pay thirty five hundred dollars for an echo cardigram.
Speaker 1: It's coming out of your pocket, new counter year, new deductible.
Speaker 1: Maybe you got to you gotta cope or something. It's
Speaker 1: a cope off of thirty five hundred dollars. You get
Speaker 1: a separate bill for the Board certified radiologist for report
Speaker 1: with you and your doctor. Bulb, well, at least your
Speaker 1: doctor needs it. And then you say to or so
Speaker 1: wait MSS. I heard Thomas talk about affordable imaging services.
Speaker 1: Where an echo cardiogram's five hundred bucks, it's only eight
Speaker 1: hundred with an enhancement. I'm going to take that option
Speaker 1: because I know it's the same equipment hospitals use. I
Speaker 1: know I shouldn't expect much by way of overhead, but
Speaker 1: that's what's bringing about these great savings. So I get
Speaker 1: my image done there by medical professionals who've been doing
Speaker 1: this for forty years. I get a board certified radiologist
Speaker 1: support within forty eight hours, along with my doctor getting one,
Speaker 1: and that's included in the price eight hundred with an
Speaker 1: enhancement five hundred without. That's an acculo cardogram, and the
Speaker 1: same thing goes a mere fraction of a hospital imaging
Speaker 1: department prices for MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, lung screenings and
Speaker 1: cardiac scoring. When it comes to your medical health and
Speaker 1: your medical decision making, it's in your hands. You have
Speaker 1: a choice. Here's the number five one three seven five
Speaker 1: three eight thousand. Yes, and I've been there, and I've
Speaker 1: got one schedule for April CT scan five on three seven,
Speaker 1: five three eight thousand online Affordable Medimaging dot com fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC. My name is Kyle Tequila, host of a
Speaker 1: shocking new true crime podcast, Tyler Channa.
Speaker 7: Nine.
Speaker 1: Weather forecast be partly sunny day to day with a
Speaker 1: higher fifty six overnight fer thirty five with more clouds.
Speaker 1: Another partly cloudy day Tomorrow, flight chance of rain improve
Speaker 1: or increase chances A day rolls on sixty two tomorrow's
Speaker 1: high and then after seven pm rain and chances storms
Speaker 1: as well overnight low of forty. It will be a
Speaker 1: high of fifty on Thursday with partly cloudy skies. That's
Speaker 1: about thirty eight right now. Time for a traffic update,
Speaker 1: Chuck from.
Speaker 7: The uc UP Traffic Center. Around forty percent of cancers
Speaker 7: are preventable. Lifestyle changes and screenings can make a difference.
Speaker 7: Called five one, three, five eighty five U see sec
Speaker 7: broken down northbound two seventy five and twenty eight's in

Speaker 7: the talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven fifty three here fifty five KRCV talk station. If
Speaker 1: you just chuning in tending in the right time, although
Speaker 1: we are going to head on into a break here
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. Uh he getting excited about it.
Speaker 1: Dan Grahmasim returns of the Morning Show. I think the
Speaker 1: last time I talked to him was for his book Woke, Inc.
Speaker 1: And he's a rather prolific writer. He's written some outstanding books.
Speaker 1: The man is absolutely brilliant, and he wants to turn
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio around. He wants to make an
Speaker 1: economic powerhouse. He has some great ideas about education reform,
Speaker 1: school choice. He is in favor of school choice and
Speaker 1: been asking him about maybe bringing back classical education, which
Speaker 1: is such a wonderful, wonderful mechanism of getting young people
Speaker 1: educated and giving them logical, critical thinking skills. I think
Speaker 1: he's an advocate for getting rid of cell phones in
Speaker 1: the schools. What a brilliant idea that is. You know,
Speaker 1: we had that story this morning about five suicides in
Speaker 1: one school district. Just broke my heart and one woman
Speaker 1: just had she had facebooked me she has a lot
Speaker 1: of it maybe had to do with bullying. You've got
Speaker 1: actual bullying, face to face bullying, which I think every
Speaker 1: human being has faced at some point in their education period.
Speaker 1: But once again, you go back to social media and
Speaker 1: it's like a twenty four to seven possibility, you know,
Speaker 1: teachers cannot monitor the social media exchanges and the text
Speaker 1: exchanges between the children, most notably an off hours. But
Speaker 1: if you take away eight hours worth of that and
Speaker 1: get their attention focused back on education, I think that
Speaker 1: could bring around some profound changes for the positive. We
Speaker 1: could create a state of well educated children. And that's
Speaker 1: the recipe. It's a simple recipe. You want to be
Speaker 1: a magnet state. You want to be a Texas or
Speaker 1: a Florida and one of these states that really is
Speaker 1: just way above in terms of bringing in all all
Speaker 1: those dissatisfied folks that are fleeing the likes of Illinois
Speaker 1: and New York and California because of the lunacy. You
Speaker 1: have to create a great economic environment. You've got to
Speaker 1: create a low regulatory burden, and you have to have
Speaker 1: an education system the parents are drawn to. And I
Speaker 1: think you'll have some outstanding ideas about that, and we
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to talk about them coming up after
Speaker 1: the top of the our news, so stick around for that,
Speaker 1: and of course at eight thirty, as we do every Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the Daniel Davis deep Tive further conversations about maybe an
Speaker 1: end of the Russia Ukraine conflict. That'll be at a thirty.
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around covering Trump's first one
Speaker 1: hundred days every day, every.
Speaker 10: Day, Promises made, promises kept.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRZ the talk station. This report is sponsored
Speaker 1: by eight oh five and fifty got KRCD Talk Station.
Speaker 1: A very, very happy and special Tuesday. Brian Thomas, So
Speaker 1: the fifty five Cassey Morning Show couldn't be more excited
Speaker 1: than I am right now. Happy to welcome for the
Speaker 1: first time. Actually at the first time, we talked about
Speaker 1: his book Woking, but he has announced his intention to
Speaker 1: be Ohio's next governor. Fivek Ramaswamy, Welcome to the fifty
Speaker 1: five Cassey Morning Show. Distinct pleasure to have you on
Speaker 1: the program today, sir, Thanks for having me. Brian. Good
Speaker 1: to talk to you again, and it's great to just
Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you. Right after your nets, you
Speaker 1: immediately got the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Thank you. It was an honor to receive his endorsement.
Speaker 4: He and I have worked together over the last year
Speaker 4: and I'm so proud of what he's doing for the country,
Speaker 4: and in my view, he's making America great again. He's
Speaker 4: reviving our conviction in America. We need a leader here
Speaker 4: at home who's going to revive our conviction in Ohio.
Speaker 4: And I'm going to be honored hopefully to serve as
Speaker 4: our next governor and to take our state to the
Speaker 4: next level.
Speaker 1: Well, considering what I know you've identified as your campaign platform,
Speaker 1: economic excellence and building Ohio as a state with educational excellentce,
Speaker 1: you seem to have the recipe for success down I've seen,
Speaker 1: I know you know about people fleeing California, New York,
Speaker 1: and Illinois to other states that have a better business environment.
Speaker 1: Typically it's Texas and Florida identified. But you want to
Speaker 1: make Ohio a even better magnet, and it seems to
Speaker 1: me the recipe for that low taxes, reduction to regulatory burden,
Speaker 1: and of course the quality education that you plan for.
Speaker 1: And if we could start with that, because I'm a
Speaker 1: huge fan of your ideas on education, most notably school
Speaker 1: choice and improving vocational opportunities as well.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean you stated my platform directly, that's exactly
Speaker 4: the core agenda for the state. There's just one key
Speaker 4: element to that I would add, Brian, is that I
Speaker 4: also want to be a governor who makes sure that
Speaker 4: our public schools are equipped to compete with the best
Speaker 4: of those alternatives. I'm going to push for harder school
Speaker 4: choice with our public schools. I'm going to implement marya
Speaker 4: based pay for every teacher, principal, administrator, and superintendent, because
Speaker 4: to be clear, the best teachers actually.
Speaker 1: Deserve to be paid much more than they are.
Speaker 4: But that means we have to actually rationalize the waste
Speaker 4: of expenditures elsewhere in our education system. It's not just
Speaker 4: throwing more money at our public schools, it's how that
Speaker 4: money is spent. Other basic common sense reforms like finally
Speaker 4: getting the cell.
Speaker 2: Phones out of our classes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, bringing back physical education at a younger age, and
Speaker 4: the presidential Fitness test, which we'll bring back physical health,
Speaker 4: it's mental health.
Speaker 1: It's civic health.
Speaker 4: To Brian is, We're going to bring back civic education
Speaker 4: that teaches our kids to be proud of our state
Speaker 4: rather than ashamed of it.
Speaker 1: And one of the things I'm.
Speaker 4: Particularly passionate about is every high school senior who graduates
Speaker 4: from Ohio Public High School is going to have to
Speaker 4: pass the same Civics test that every legal immigrant has
Speaker 4: to pass in order to become am citizen in the country,
Speaker 4: and so anyway, these are basic changes where we can
Speaker 4: lead the country, and I'm excited that we're going to
Speaker 4: take our state to the next level.
Speaker 1: I love that it sounds to me like you're a
Speaker 1: proponent of as I am, a classical education.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think that you can't be proud of a
Speaker 4: country that you don't know the history of. And I
Speaker 4: do think that young people, I think all of us
Speaker 4: in some sense are hungering for purpose and meaning and identity.
Speaker 4: And I do think that filling that void with the
Speaker 4: real thing, not the fake stuff, but the real thing,
Speaker 4: is actually what's going to give us our true fulfillment individual, family, nation,
Speaker 4: and God beat race, gender, sexuality, and climate if we
Speaker 4: have the courage to stand for it.
Speaker 1: And at the same time, I.
Speaker 4: Was clear, I'm opening last night, and I'll deliver the
Speaker 4: same message in Toledo, where I'm headed right now. I'll
Speaker 4: deliver the same message in strongsviol where I'm head, and
Speaker 4: deny it that. My message to every Democrat in the
Speaker 4: state and every independent in this state is that we
Speaker 4: may not agree on one hundred percent of issues. And
Speaker 4: that's okay. Diversity of thoughts the beautiful thing in Ohio.
Speaker 4: But if you care about economic excellence in this state,
Speaker 4: if you care about educational excellence in this state, if
Speaker 4: you care about your kids having the same shot at
Speaker 4: the American dream that this state in this country gave
Speaker 4: to me, and we're actually on the same team as
Speaker 4: the way I look at it. Give a seat at
Speaker 4: the table in this movement. Let's take our state to
Speaker 4: the next level. And I want to work together with
Speaker 4: everybody doing, not just constitutional conservatives like you and I,
Speaker 4: which of course that's important. We're not going to compromise
Speaker 4: on our principles, but we're going to work with everybody
Speaker 4: in this state to lift us up economically and to
Speaker 4: give our kids the world class education that I believe
Speaker 4: is their birthright in Ohio.
Speaker 1: Well, I certainly enjoy hearing what you're saying, and you're right.
Speaker 1: You know, rising tide lifts all ships. Doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: your political stripe is. You got a better business environment,
Speaker 1: better educational environment, every single human being in the state
Speaker 1: will benefit to flipping over to I just I'm reacting
Speaker 1: to your idea of merit based compensation for teachers, which
Speaker 1: of course is a great concept. You know, if you
Speaker 1: live in a meritocracy, the better you are. The brighter
Speaker 1: you are, the harder you work, the more likely it
Speaker 1: is you're going to make more money. And that's just
Speaker 1: the proven recipe all from the beginning of time. How
Speaker 1: do you do you judge the merits? Though? How is what?
Speaker 2: Is the great question?
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, that's a.
Speaker 4: Great question, and there's a good conversation to have. The
Speaker 4: way I believe it should be judged as a starting point, okay,
Speaker 4: is objective results. There you have test scores and other
Speaker 4: results combined with the assessment of parents. And I think
Speaker 4: the conversation to be had of whether you add some
Speaker 4: element of peer review as well, where the way the
Speaker 4: teacher works within the context of the school with their
Speaker 4: other peers is also at least an input. But you
Speaker 4: have then objective metrics, parental assessment, peer assessments, and most importantly,
Speaker 4: objective assessments of the success of our students.
Speaker 1: To be clear, that's what this is all about.
Speaker 4: Seventy five percent of eighth graders right now are not
Speaker 4: proficient in math innal standards. We have kids in other
Speaker 4: countries where English isn't even their first language doing better
Speaker 4: on English proficiency than our own students right here, Brian,
Speaker 4: I think that's not acceptable to me. So we got
Speaker 4: to measure how we're improving on those metrics, from the
Speaker 4: inner city of Cincinnati to Cleveland to Appalasia, the whole
Speaker 4: state to actually give our kids. We owe it to
Speaker 4: the next generation. I'm a father of two sons myself,
Speaker 4: and I care about passing that American dream on to
Speaker 4: my kids and their generation, and we're going to do
Speaker 4: that here in Ohio in a way that sets a
Speaker 4: model for the rest of the country. And one thing
Speaker 4: I want to say about this is we do have
Speaker 4: an issue where many kids who grow up in this
Speaker 4: state end up leaving to pursue opportunities in other states.
Speaker 4: I want them to stay here and pursue the American
Speaker 4: dream in Ohio because it is the best place for
Speaker 4: them to make that decision, close to their parents and
Speaker 4: to their grandparents. Keeping the generational families in this state,
Speaker 4: because that's the place where they have the best educational
Speaker 4: and economic opportunities. That's where I want to lead us.
Speaker 1: Well. One of the stumbling blocks and the elephant of
Speaker 1: the room on all of your wonderful and logical and
Speaker 1: reasonable ideas about education happens to be the Teachers Union,
Speaker 1: and they they exist for their own benefit, not for
Speaker 1: the benefit of students. I just have to generally speak.
Speaker 1: But that seems to be the case. And how are
Speaker 1: you going to cope with them and their uh and
Speaker 1: and and and deal with the opposition you're most certainly
Speaker 1: going to face from the teachers union. Look the way
Speaker 1: I said it.
Speaker 4: I was crystal clear last night in both my speeches,
Speaker 4: and I'll say it again today. I don't want to
Speaker 4: pick a fight with the teachers unions. Frankly, I don't
Speaker 4: want to pick a fight with anybody. But I'm not
Speaker 4: going to back down from one either. I'm going to
Speaker 4: do whatever is required to stand for the achievement.
Speaker 1: Of our students.
Speaker 4: And let me be crystal clear, as I said earlier,
Speaker 4: the best teachers deserve to be compensated better than they are.
Speaker 4: Right now, I think of missus Kinney, this teacher of
Speaker 4: mine in sixth grade who lit a fire under my feet.
Speaker 4: She changed my life. He helped me see potential in
Speaker 4: myself that I hadn't seen. That was at the public
Speaker 4: schools in Princeton outside Cincinnati, at Realis Roberty Lucas Intermediate
Speaker 4: School with a magnet program.
Speaker 1: The family is closed now.
Speaker 4: As Kinny is somebody who I reflected on last night
Speaker 4: in my speech. She unfortunately died a couple of years
Speaker 4: ago in a tragic accident. But I'd be thanking her
Speaker 4: today if she were alive. And I will tell you this,
Speaker 4: I want more teachers like her. But that's not an
Speaker 4: anti public school teacher message. That is a pro teacher message.
Speaker 4: But any obstacle that stands in the way, if that's
Speaker 4: the union for anybody else, we're going to deal with
Speaker 4: that to do what's right for our students with strength.
Speaker 1: Well, you are an obviously wildly successful entrepreneur. You built
Speaker 1: a stil aerospace right here in Cincinnati. In spite of
Speaker 1: the regulatory and challenges you face in the state of
Speaker 1: Ohio at least still currently, you were able to do it.
Speaker 1: So I highlight that and illustrated because in spite of
Speaker 1: the obstacles which shouldn't be there in the state of
Speaker 1: Ohio for business advancement, you're able to do it. But
Speaker 1: you know where the skeletons are, you know where the
Speaker 1: problems lie, and you know where the reforms need to
Speaker 1: be made.
Speaker 4: Well, thank you for that. I mean, just to be crystical,
Speaker 4: we launched the event at Ctail Aerospace last night, and
Speaker 4: as a great founder and a great family that invited
Speaker 4: us in so saying, but no, that's close to home
Speaker 4: where I grew up. So I grew up. My first
Speaker 4: house that I grew up until I was five is
Speaker 4: a few minutes away from there. So you know, I
Speaker 4: could see the commonality that being said. I've built successful businesses.
Speaker 4: I was across biotech, across financial services, across other industries,
Speaker 4: and I understand what it takes to have success. It
Speaker 4: means that you're able to pursue your own vision and
Speaker 4: serve your customers and serve the people for whom you
Speaker 4: exist without the government or bureaucracy standing in your way.
Speaker 4: And that's my vision for Ohio. I want this to
Speaker 4: be the most most competitive state in the country to
Speaker 4: start and grow a new business, for young families to
Speaker 4: flock to to raise your kids in. Are we headed
Speaker 4: in the right direction? I think we actually are headed
Speaker 4: in the right direction. This is in California. We don't
Speaker 4: need a U turn. But what we do need to
Speaker 4: do is we need to step on the gas without
Speaker 4: holding back. We don't need to be shooting to be
Speaker 4: a good state in the Midwest. We just shoot to
Speaker 4: be the best state in the country to actually lead
Speaker 4: economically and educationally. And I don't think that that's unrealistic
Speaker 4: if you look at the last century. Really, even at
Speaker 4: the turn of the last Industrial Revolution, Ohio led the
Speaker 4: way in the nation. We were the economic powerhouse of America.
Speaker 4: And I think if Silicon Valley led the way in
Speaker 4: the last ten years, I think it should be the
Speaker 4: Ohio River Valley over the next ten years. And so
Speaker 4: that's the ambition I want to bring to leading this state,
Speaker 4: ambition for every ohioan ambition to lift up the lives
Speaker 4: of every kid in this state. It's a moment for
Speaker 4: a modern Northwest ordinance is the way I look at this.
Speaker 4: We're at conservative state. We deserved to be governed accordingly.
Speaker 4: And that's not going to lose US elections, Brian. It's
Speaker 4: going to win US elections because it'll put more money
Speaker 4: in people's pockets, lift up more people in this state
Speaker 4: from poverty. It'll revive civic pride and self confidence in
Speaker 4: our young people. And I don't care whether you're a
Speaker 4: Democrat or Republican, black or white, man or woman, urban
Speaker 4: or rural. If you care about economic excellence, and educational excellence.
Speaker 1: In this state.
Speaker 4: And we got to seek for you at the table
Speaker 4: in this movement. And I want to work with everybody
Speaker 4: to take the state to the next level. And dare
Speaker 4: I say unite this state in a landslide victory next year.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm shooting for at this point.
Speaker 1: Well, I understand you also are in favor of work
Speaker 1: requirements for Medicaid and welfare. We have a bit of
Speaker 1: a problem in this state with Medicaid one of the
Speaker 1: worst in the country in terms of fraud, waste, and abuse.
Speaker 1: And I found out recently talked to Representative Jennifer gross
Speaker 1: To just a few days ago, and they did a
Speaker 1: recent analysis, a statistical sampling and found out that twenty
Speaker 1: six percent of the Medicaid payments go to individuals that
Speaker 1: do not even live in our state, which translates to
Speaker 1: like ten billion dollars. Mister Ramswami, that might help solve
Speaker 1: the school funding problem. We're already operating under an unconstitutional
Speaker 1: structure for funding schools. If we could claw back that
Speaker 1: or not send it out of the state, apply that
Speaker 1: to education, we might get some relief on our property taxes,
Speaker 1: which are killing so many people in this area.
Speaker 4: So look, I want to give a shout out to
Speaker 4: Jennifer Growth. She has been outstanding on this issue of
Speaker 4: medicaid and spotlighting areas for savings. So she's doing a
Speaker 4: fantastic job. She was actually at our event last night
Speaker 4: as well. I'm grateful for her supporting Butler County. But
Speaker 4: I will tell you we need to now do something
Speaker 4: about it as well, and to me part of the solution.
Speaker 4: First of all, we should make sure that there aren't
Speaker 4: recipients who, literally, as you're mentioning out state or other
Speaker 4: places where it's just error, should not be receiving money
Speaker 4: that wasn't intended for them. But even more broadly, as
Speaker 4: a policy measure, that's just an implementation failure. As a
Speaker 4: policy measure, work requirements for medicaid and welfare are not
Speaker 4: only reasonable, they're necessary. They're necessary not just as a
Speaker 4: budgetary matter, but even for the recipients. That's not compassion.
Speaker 4: To increase somebody's dependence on the government.
Speaker 1: That is cruelty.
Speaker 4: That is a form of cruelty. And I think the
Speaker 4: true form of compassion is helping somebody not with the handout,
Speaker 4: but a handoff in their time of need, to give
Speaker 4: them a bridge to self sustain themselves on their own
Speaker 4: two feet. That's the American way, and so I do
Speaker 4: think that even well intentioned folks who say that, well,
Speaker 4: are these work requirements to aggressive? To be clear, they're
Speaker 4: not work requirements. We're talking about are age eighteen to
Speaker 4: fifty four. If you're able bodied, if you don't have kids,
Speaker 4: then you're talking about twenty hours a week of work,
Speaker 4: king or at least trying to find work. I think
Speaker 4: it's really reasonable. That's where the federal standards are today.
Speaker 4: Ohio should not be seeking an exemption from that or
Speaker 4: a waiver from that. We should be embracing it and
Speaker 4: leading the country to say that we embrace hard work.
Speaker 4: We're going to end the war on work in this state,
Speaker 4: by the way, Brian, at a time when we do
Speaker 4: have a shortage of workers, why are we paying people
Speaker 4: and incentivizing them not to work. That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4: That goes back to the other point we were making
Speaker 4: about making Ohio the best place to start and grow business.
Speaker 4: If we have a more plentiful work population, population of
Speaker 4: workers who aren't being paid by the federal government, by
Speaker 4: the state government to stay home, that helps them too.
Speaker 4: So it's a pro American message, it's a pro Ohio message.
Speaker 4: At times, I do believe in speaking the hard truths,
Speaker 4: even when they're tough. Think about that educational achievement crisis.
Speaker 4: It doesn't land well on people's ears to hear that
Speaker 4: seventy five percent of kids aren't proficient in math, but
Speaker 4: you got to see the problem clearly in order to
Speaker 4: fix it. Doesn't land on some well, some people's ears
Speaker 4: to say we got to attach work requirements to Medicaid
Speaker 4: and welfare. But actually, when you explain, if people understand,
Speaker 4: even good Democrats understand where you're coming from. I'll give
Speaker 4: you another one of those, Brian, which is a little
Speaker 4: bit controversial, but I'll go there because I think it's
Speaker 4: important when we think about ending the wave of crime
Speaker 4: and rising poverty and homelessness in cities. In our cities,
Speaker 4: I think we need to think about and we will
Speaker 4: bring back the psychiatric hospitals that were shuttered in decades past,
Speaker 4: because right now our jails are the top form of
Speaker 4: mental health care in our state, and that doesn't make
Speaker 4: any sense either to some of these solutions. I'm confident
Speaker 4: that if we explain it to the people, even to
Speaker 4: Democrats who may have a different opinion today, I believe
Speaker 4: we're going to be able to bring them along with
Speaker 4: respect and with open dialogue. And I think that culture
Speaker 4: of mutual respect is the way I'm going to lead our.
Speaker 1: State with that, Grandma Swimmy. It's just a distinct pleasure
Speaker 1: to hear such logic and reas and I wish you
Speaker 1: all the best in your efforts become governor the next
Speaker 1: of the state of Ohio. I hope to someday call
Speaker 1: you Governor Ramis when we talk after that moment in time.
Speaker 1: But just I just have to observe this that work
Speaker 1: requirement when there's so many trade jobs available twenty hours
Speaker 1: a week. If you can work in the trade, you
Speaker 1: can earn while you learn as an apprentice. Put that
Speaker 1: opportunity in front of someone, say listen, you're not going
Speaker 1: to get this benefit, but look, here's a great opportunity
Speaker 1: if you have a career and a sustainable life and
Speaker 1: a good salary. It just makes so much sense.
Speaker 4: Yes, it does, which is a far bigger benefit.
Speaker 1: So you're right to say it.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 1: Well. I look forward to having you on any time
Speaker 1: you like on the program Sir. I'm inspired by your words,
Speaker 1: and I wish you all the best on the campaign trail.
Speaker 1: Anytime on the fifty five Caressey Morning Show you want
Speaker 1: you're you have an opportunity.
Speaker 4: Sir, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Man, take care. What's say say? Safe Travels eight twenty
Speaker 1: two A fifty five cars Detalk Station Daniel Deep David
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming up.
Speaker 8: Now fifty five the talk station for seventy hey twenty
Speaker 8: nine on a Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Regular listeners, No, it's even appointment listening time. You can
Speaker 1: also find the podcast at five Caresey dot com. Welcome
Speaker 1: back my retired lieutenant colonel friend Daniel Davis for the
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Good to talk to you today, Sir.
Speaker 1: As always always a pleasure to be here. Look forward
Speaker 1: to this every week and.
Speaker 6: So do I.
Speaker 1: And interesting times with Trump negotiating with Putin over a
Speaker 1: resolution of this war, and it seems to me for
Speaker 1: some reason, it's got the left all bent out of shape,
Speaker 1: and I don't know why, because in addition to negotiating
Speaker 1: with Putin on some sort of resolution, he's also trying
Speaker 1: to open up economic cooperation for the benefit of both countries.
Speaker 1: And what I observe here if you put down this
Speaker 1: whole idea that Vladimir Putin is the same thing as
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. And I know he doesn't have clean hands,
Speaker 1: but we work and trade with a lot of countries
Speaker 1: who don't have clean hands, right, I mean, we're picking
Speaker 1: and choosing who is good and who's bad. And i'd
Speaker 1: point to the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 1: We trade with them all the time, and they are
Speaker 1: our outstanding number one enemy in the world. So putting
Speaker 1: that aside, though, if we could negotiate some sort of
Speaker 1: economic cooperation along with this and along with resolving the conflict,
Speaker 1: and I know you want to talk about that, but
Speaker 1: that would, I would argue, have the result of benefiting
Speaker 1: both countries economically. We can stop worrying about getting into
Speaker 1: a shooting war with the Soviet or with the Russians.
Speaker 1: Here I slipped with the Russians. You know, NATO wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to concern itself with being invaded by Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 1: and it might tear the getting cozier relationship between Russia
Speaker 1: and China away, So we got all focus on the
Speaker 1: real enemy, which is China. I don't know I'm just
Speaker 1: I know, I'm kind of sort of on a stream
Speaker 1: of consciousness on this, but I don't see this discussion
Speaker 1: as a bad thing in any way. Your reactions, sir,
Speaker 1: well my initial reactions.
Speaker 15: I don't know how much you like your job, but
Speaker 15: if you wanted to quit and go work as a
Speaker 15: deputy Secretary of State, I would endorse you're a person
Speaker 15: to go and do that, because, man, I would love
Speaker 15: that kind of view up at the Secretary of State,
Speaker 15: because that you're absolutely nailing all the things that are
Speaker 15: important to the United States.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Trump ran on. He ran on
Speaker 1: wanted to be the America First.
Speaker 15: He actually signed that into an executive order that his
Speaker 15: foreign policy would be America First. And he's doing exactly
Speaker 15: what he said he was going to do, and so far,
Speaker 15: all of those things you mentioned are good for the
Speaker 15: United States. And I guess to answer your question about
Speaker 15: you know why this is and why there's so much
Speaker 15: reticence and resistance from the Europeans especially, Yeah, it's because
Speaker 15: we've tied all of this action over the last three
Speaker 15: years to our credibility as an alliance and even to
Speaker 15: the essence.
Speaker 1: Of who we are.
Speaker 15: We said and I actually did this on my show
Speaker 15: yesterday a little bit kind of running through the history
Speaker 15: of the last three years and in just a few minutes.
Speaker 15: But basically we said that Russia had to lose, Ukraine
Speaker 15: had to win at the outset of the war, and
Speaker 15: then everything to that extent was said throughout the rest
Speaker 15: of it. And many still say to this day they
Speaker 15: cannot conceive of not winning, even if it comes to
Speaker 15: the expense of benefits to our country, as you pointed out,
Speaker 15: And so far it looks like Trump is willing to
Speaker 15: just blow off all that pressure.
Speaker 1: To do what makes sense. Well, the alliance that we're
Speaker 1: talking about here was built on a post World War
Speaker 1: two Europe that needed to be rebuilt, but also then
Speaker 1: immediately began to be fearful of the Soviet Union and
Speaker 1: their communist ways. I mean FDR sold out all those
Speaker 1: Eastern European countries at Yalta. They became a part of
Speaker 1: the Iron Curtain, their lives became miserable. Postfall of the
Speaker 1: Soviet Union, many of them became more prosperous, I mean Ukraine,
Speaker 1: for example, breadbasket of Europe at least at one point
Speaker 1: until this war showed up. So they were in a
Speaker 1: better position. I just don't know understand why again this
Speaker 1: animosity in this that we have over Russia now them invading.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'll tell you though, on that point there, it's
Speaker 15: important because there's another benefit that happened prior to February
Speaker 15: twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, and that was that Europe
Speaker 15: was significantly benefiting from Russian oil and gas because it
Speaker 15: was coming in at a very low price, which benefited
Speaker 15: all of Europe and all of their economy and everything
Speaker 15: was predicated on low inputs, low cost of inputs, so
Speaker 15: that they could have cost of outputs, they could have
Speaker 15: higher profits and all that kind of thing. We have
Speaker 15: absolutely shot ourselves in the foot and maybe even one
Speaker 15: knee by keeping these sanctions on Russia, because it's harmed
Speaker 15: us a lot more than it has them. And listen,
Speaker 15: all of this, all of this, one hundred percent, came
Speaker 15: from our absolute overt insistence on putting NATO into Ukraine,
Speaker 15: something that would never keep anybody in Europe safer. All
Speaker 15: that would do is exactly what it did is raised
Speaker 15: the tensions, increase the chance of something bad happening where
Speaker 15: we could.
Speaker 1: End up in a war, and it didn't do anything
Speaker 1: destroy Ukraine.
Speaker 15: That is I think going to be one of the
Speaker 15: biggest blights on the West and on the previous administration
Speaker 15: that history can put on us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, country filled with land mines in a post war situation.
Speaker 1: It's just just a terrible thought when you come when
Speaker 1: it comes down to it. And I drew a parallel.
Speaker 1: I just kind of bounced this off your head earlier
Speaker 1: in the program. I said, you know, if you look
Speaker 1: like Crimea, for example, the vast majority of folks there
Speaker 1: were pro Russia. They didn't have any problem with the
Speaker 1: Russians taking them over. I said, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: lot like those multiple counties in Illinois that want to
Speaker 1: become part of Indiana or half of the state of
Speaker 1: California that wants to break off and separate itself from
Speaker 1: the insane leftists that currently run the country. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not going to get Crimea back. And if you
Speaker 1: ask the Crimeans, they probably would say, we don't want
Speaker 1: to go back percent.
Speaker 15: And it's not just that they're pro Russian, they're ethnic Russian.
Speaker 15: I mean they are historically Russian. And in fact, I
Speaker 15: may get the year wrong in this. I think it
Speaker 15: was something about nineteen fifty they were part of Russia,
Speaker 15: they were part of the Soviet Union, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And then I think it was the Krushiev don't hold
Speaker 1: me to that.
Speaker 15: It was on one of the Soviet premiers just designated
Speaker 15: it to Ukraine, which didn't really cause much of us
Speaker 15: stir at the time because it was.
Speaker 1: All within the USSR.
Speaker 15: But the historically they have been Russian, and they ethnically
Speaker 15: are still Russian.
Speaker 1: And they voted. You don't even have to ask them because.
Speaker 15: They told you what their own voice with this plea
Speaker 15: to decide that they overwhelmed the I think ninety five
Speaker 15: percent voted to be in Russian and all of them
Speaker 15: Russians and Ukrainian Crimeans consider themselves to be Russians today,
Speaker 15: So that's that's never coming back. And that's the case
Speaker 15: with the majority of the area that is under Russia
Speaker 15: control today in terms of ethnic Russians that are in there,
Speaker 15: and it's even on the other side of the line
Speaker 15: up to the Danepa River, still significant portions are ethnic Russians.
Speaker 15: When that outcome is kind of what a lot of
Speaker 15: people are wondering where these negotiations are going, because a
Speaker 15: great many of those people want to go to Russia
Speaker 15: as well well.
Speaker 1: Trump talking directly with Putin to the exclusion of Lensky
Speaker 1: that seems to rubbed them the wrong way. He's also, though,
Speaker 1: negotiating with the President of Ukraine Zelenski, to deal with
Speaker 1: economic relationships with them, because they have stuff that we
Speaker 1: would like to buy, and if we buy it, then
Speaker 1: that benefits them economically. So there seems to be an
Speaker 1: air of positivity associated with it. In a post war environment,
Speaker 1: how do you think Trump is dealing with the war component?
Speaker 1: He can talk with Peutin all day long about economic relationships,
Speaker 1: but settling the war, how do you think he's going
Speaker 1: to approach that and what announcement do you think is
Speaker 1: going to come from that, if any.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's going to be the really difficult part, which
Speaker 15: is kind of shrouded in mystery so far. I'm sure
Speaker 15: that's intentional, because I'm sure there's lots of discussions about.
Speaker 1: Where the line is going to be.
Speaker 15: Is it going to be on the current line of
Speaker 15: contact between the two Is it going to be on
Speaker 15: the administrative borders of the fort oblasted Russia annexed in
Speaker 15: twenty twenty two, Because right now, a subsiizable portion of
Speaker 15: all three of the southern provinces are still under Ukrainian control,
Speaker 15: and for that to be the line, which Russians say
Speaker 15: that is their minimum standard, Ukraine would have to withdraw
Speaker 15: from there and abandon those areas through negotiations, not being
Speaker 15: forced out by war.
Speaker 1: That's what I advocate.
Speaker 15: I think that's the best thing that could happen, because
Speaker 15: the alternative is that Russia doesn't agree to the current
Speaker 15: line of contact and they continue marching forward with their
Speaker 15: armed forces until they seize territory by forced RUMs, which
Speaker 15: means more Ukrainians would die. The line's going to be
Speaker 15: over there, in my view, one way or the other,
Speaker 15: either by negotiations where a lot of Ukraines have to
Speaker 15: suffer the embarrassment but are alive to withdraw out, or
Speaker 15: they'll take it and those people will be dead. And
Speaker 15: so I think that it's that stark of an option
Speaker 15: right now, and it's unknown right now what Trump's going
Speaker 15: to agree to.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's an economic component that would benefit
Speaker 1: Ukraine in that type of resolution, like, hey, okay, we're
Speaker 1: willing to concede the territory, but Russia, you got to
Speaker 1: do something for us maybe providing energy or other resources. Again,
Speaker 1: if you have free trade between those two countries after
Speaker 1: you resolve your differences, it can only benefit both countries.
Speaker 1: Is there a dangling carrot in there for Ukraine that
Speaker 1: can make a concession.
Speaker 15: You would have to have Russia make a concession from
Speaker 15: a position of strength that they don't have to make.
Speaker 15: They don't have to offer almost anything, because Russia is
Speaker 15: willing to pay the price of losing more their soldiers,
Speaker 15: extending the war and the cost to go along with that,
Speaker 15: in order to secure this what they view as their
Speaker 15: minimum security requirements on their border. That's the real crux
Speaker 15: of all this is that Putin is not looking at
Speaker 15: the getting the war over with. He's looking at the
Speaker 15: long term security on his western border and why they
Speaker 15: went to war in the first place. If he thinks
Speaker 15: the current line of contact won't provide him that long
Speaker 15: term security, he won't agree to it, and he doesn't
Speaker 15: have to, And if Trump doesn't, Russia will just keep fighting.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem is that Russia has leverage that
Speaker 1: we don't have.
Speaker 15: But to your question about the economics, Ukraine, whatever is
Speaker 15: going to be left of it will one hundred percent
Speaker 15: benefit economically because Europe is standing by already and that
Speaker 15: was in Trump's meeting with Macron yesterday. They're standing by
Speaker 15: to have all kinds of post war development and you know,
Speaker 15: taking care of things that were destroyed, et cetera. So
Speaker 15: there's a lot of benefit for the Ukraine's not the
Speaker 15: least of which nobody else would have to die.
Speaker 1: Now if this treaty, if a treaty resolution land concessions,
Speaker 1: that Russia gets what they want. There's all this talk
Speaker 1: about peacekeeping forces being kept in Ukraine. Do you think
Speaker 1: there's really a necessary element of a peacekeeping force. If
Speaker 1: Russia ultimately gets back or gets its Russian components out
Speaker 1: of Ukraine, a new line is drawn. Is there any
Speaker 1: further risk of Russia saying that'screw it, We're going to
Speaker 1: go for the whole thing.
Speaker 15: I mean, if they want to do that, they already
Speaker 15: have the force in place right now and they can
Speaker 15: just do it. There's reports out this morning that in
Speaker 15: the Russian media and the Russian military media that what
Speaker 15: Zelensky had said last week was one hundred and fifty
Speaker 15: thousand formation of Russian forces that actually closer to two
Speaker 15: hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: That's not in contact.
Speaker 15: It's in addition to everything that's about seven hundred thousand
Speaker 15: on the line of contact.
Speaker 1: Right now Russian forces.
Speaker 15: There's another two hundred thousand, which by the way, is bigger,
Speaker 15: probably by a factor of two than the one that
Speaker 15: invaded Ukraine in the first place.
Speaker 1: That's the size we're talking about. It's not engaged anywhere.
Speaker 15: It is positioned to where it can go into a
Speaker 15: number of different places if negotiations apparently break down, so
Speaker 15: they can do it right now. But I think that
Speaker 15: they want to get things done diplomatically as long as
Speaker 15: they can get what they think is their security going forward.
Speaker 1: And that's really what it all comes down to, all right,
Speaker 1: As we've parted, coming to today, Daniel Davis, I just
Speaker 1: always thoroughly enjoy these conversations. Do you see this a
Speaker 1: negotiated resolution happening in the near term, you know, like
Speaker 1: weeks as opposed to six months or another year.
Speaker 15: Well, Trump yesterday, as press conference, said out loud that
Speaker 15: he thinks that Zelensky could be here either this week
Speaker 15: or next week to sign a deal for the minerals,
Speaker 15: and then he said the war itself could be wrapped
Speaker 15: up within a few weeks. He had his National Security
Speaker 15: advisor earlier that morning yesterday said he could be done
Speaker 15: as quickly as a week or two. So he's definitely
Speaker 15: thinking that this is in the end game right now.
Speaker 15: And then the question is going to be is Zelenski
Speaker 15: you gonna accept it? Because I'm thinking that Trump is
Speaker 15: getting to the position to where he's going to say
Speaker 15: to Zelenski, you either accept this deal or good luck
Speaker 15: to you, and you're up trying to figure it out
Speaker 15: on your own because we're coming to an end.
Speaker 1: I think that's what Trump's setting up. Fair enough. This
Speaker 1: has been another Daniel Davis deep dive. I've always looked
Speaker 1: forward to it. I'm already looking forward to another one
Speaker 1: next Tuesday. Daniel. Have a wonderful week, sir, and thanks
