Susie Dude, Happy Tuesday. 7 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.359 Some skin. 8 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:41.600 You're fired? 9 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:49.000 Uh yeah, Actually, maybe it's interesting you chose that sound 10 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.520 by Joe, because that's kind of what I wanted to 11 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.439 watch into is he at the start of the morning 12 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.759 show this morning, and a very happy Tuesday to everyone. 13 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.000 Brian Thomas right here, glad to be glad to see 14 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.280 executive producer Joe Treker where he belongs. And I'm glad 15 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.520 to see a nice right down thanks to judge director's efforts. 16 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.400 Ken Cobra, FLP President returns of the program at six thirty. Question, 17 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.799 what's up with these judges issuing low or un recognizance 18 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:15.439 bonds to violent and dangerous purpse legitimate question? Sense a 19 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.239 problem for the community. I know that, so Ken Cober 20 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.760 on that topic at six thirty. What we're calling today, 21 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.480 I guess a special big picture With Jack add and 22 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.159 giving the UN vote. The other day, the US sided 23 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.239 with Russia and voting against the resolution that ultimately would 24 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.439 mean nothing. You know, it's it's you know, it's like 25 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.239 a resolution of the SINCEI City Council condemning Israel or 26 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.040 supporting Palestine are like, you know, what impact does that 27 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.519 have on the world? Nothing? What impact does anything the 28 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.920 UN has, anything the UN does have on the world, 29 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.719 probably nothing. And in a case of a resolution like that, 30 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.519 it just is a statement and a statement of disagreement 31 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.040 because not everybody agrees to them. So people are really 32 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.840 upset and they think that this is some sort of 33 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.480 collusion with between Trump and Putin. And I don't know, 34 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.079 question is Trump colluding with Putin? That's the subject matter 35 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.040 of The Big Picture, with Jack Allidan coming up at 36 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.759 seven oh five, the Vake Ramaswamy He's going to be 37 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.360 joining the program at eight five in lieu of the 38 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:18.159 Breitbart Big the Breitbart Inside Scoop, which is fine substitution 39 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.719 considering you just announced formally yesterday evening he is running 40 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.919 for governor of the state of Ohio. Got a little 41 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.800 bit of a challenge from much from Yost and somebody 42 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.560 else whose name I can't even remember. We'll just throw 43 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.800 her in the also ran category no offense. But as 44 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.680 of right now, the best of my understanding, the Vake 45 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.560 is ahead of Yost in the polling. Some consider Yost 46 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.000 to be in the Mike Dwine camp, which among my 47 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:51.919 listening audience is not a good place to be. But 48 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.199 you draw your own conclusions. We'll hear what he has 49 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.840 to say and what he's looking forward to in terms 50 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.439 of the direction of the state of Ohio big on education. 51 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.879 I love hearing that transforming education system. He says he's 52 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.599 not going to turn his back on public schools, but 53 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.319 he is going to try to reform them. He wants 54 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.000 merit based teacher pay and I'm kind of questioning the 55 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.719 metrics on that, and I'm gonna have to ask him 56 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.360 about that. Fine conceptually, love the idea, the better the teacher, 57 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.560 the more pay they get. But how do you gauge 58 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.800 how good a teacher is. That's there's some sort of 59 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.360 layering and complexity that you have to look into on 60 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.199 that how it's going to unfold. But that he is 61 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:32.719 for school education choice, certainly love that idea. He wants 62 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.639 to bring a turn Ohio into an economic powerhouse. So 63 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.479 lots of good ideas generally speaking. So he'll join the 64 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.240 program at eight h five and then we will get 65 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.800 Daniel Davis on for the deep dive. Is finally going 66 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.680 to be an end of the Russian Ukraine conflict. Going 67 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.439 back to the Jack add in a big picture about 68 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.719 Trump colluding with Peutin And honestly, as I step back 69 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.520 from the issues we've got with Russia and I can't 70 00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:02.159 defend them invading Ukraine, we could, you know, look inwardly 71 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.560 and question why we invaded you know, Iraq and uh Afghanistan, 72 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.639 and uh, well we just you know, you get the 73 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:17.240 thought exercise. But in the final analysis, when when was 74 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:22.279 it that that modern Russia, post Soviet Russia became this 75 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.199 evil empire? And you know, there are a lot of 76 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.800 evil countries that we do a lot of trading with, oh, 77 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:34.480 China and others are elsewhere around the globe. Not exactly 78 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.800 a great records when it comes to human rights and 79 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.519 abuses and civil rights and liberties, and but we still 80 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.079 managed to get along with them. Okay, the world I 81 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.120 think would be a better place if we were able 82 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.800 to cooperate with Russia rather than you know, basically engage 83 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:58.040 in a an arms race with them. We'll see what 84 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.160 Jack has to say about that. So five, and then 85 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.519 also Daniel Davis at eight thirty five on three seven 86 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.240 four nine fifty eight two three Talk Time five fifty 87 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.000 on AT and T FIM going back to the SoundBite, 88 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.399 you're fired real quickly. Here there's a new Harris Caps 89 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.360 Harvard Caps Harris pull out polling. I understand, but overwhelmingly 90 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.720 people like the idea of having an agency that's focusing 91 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.600 on ensuring government efficiency and eliminating waste from the federal government. 92 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.759 And conceptually, who could be against that? Very small percentage 93 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.279 of folks. Actually seventy two percent of registered voters support 94 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.279 that kind of agency. So basically doge nine out of 95 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.800 ten Republicans, two thirds of Independence, six out of ten 96 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.600 Democrats even posters on bipotters and support on a few 97 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:50.600 general questions about government expenditures and waste, which means both 98 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.639 parties can get around this concept and shouldn't they. Two 99 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.720 thirds of respondent said the current level of debt for 100 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.319 the federal government is unsustainable. That just means one third 101 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.480 of them aren't aware of how the what reality is 102 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.839 it is unsustainable. Just don't even bother listen to a politician, 103 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.480 go to the Congressional Budget Office or any other you know. 104 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.319 Neutral Switzerland like agency entity, and they'll all say the 105 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.800 same thing, and it's actually entitlement expenditures, not the other 106 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.879 expenditures outside of entitlements medicare, medicaid and social security. So 107 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.000 those are the drivers behind our unsustainability, and someone at 108 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.279 some point is finally going to have to sacrifice their 109 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.199 future political career and change the dynamic to save us 110 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.000 from ourselves. Eighty three percent said government should reduce its 111 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.959 expenditures rather than raise taxes to lower budget defice deficits, 112 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.920 you know, cut spending. In other words, three quarters more 113 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.639 than three quarters of respondent said a full examination of 114 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.399 all government expenditures should be undertaken rather than not interfering 115 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.319 with the current contracts and expenditures. Good, and you know 116 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.040 they're getting ready to do the Defense Apartment, which is 117 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:06.000 a great thing. I love this this headline elon must 118 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.319 doge sending shockwaves through Pentagon X DoD insider says, but 119 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.639 he in the article you will observe, he says, Yeah, 120 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.759 there is a ton of fraud, waste, and abuse in 121 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.959 the eight hundred plus billion dollar annual expenditure towards the 122 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.439 America's military. So yeah, let's go into that one too. 123 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.160 Seven out of ten in this survey said government expenditures 124 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.879 are filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency, including at least 125 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.720 three quarters of Republicans, independence and even fifty eight percent 126 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.560 of Democrats. So, look, we have something to rally around. 127 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.920 Pivoting over. Here's one area of fraud, waste, and abuse, stupidity, 128 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.319 and the efforts to defend it. For some reason, apparently 129 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.600 federal employees are are untouchable. The reality that some are 130 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.079 getting fired or let go is, oh my god, the 131 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.839 world's coming to an end. These people have families and lives, 132 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.519 and oh my god, what are you doing? Washington Post 133 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:12.319 criticizing the efforts of a federal government that California's use 134 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.879 Sementy National Park. The Trump administration fired the only locksmith 135 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.000 on staff on Friday. He was the sole employee with 136 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.920 the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors 137 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.800 from locked restrooms. That's a quote. And they're supposed to 138 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.079 be serious about this, and we're supposed to believe that 139 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.000 this guy's sick, maybe goes on vacation. Then the visitors 140 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.759 that get locked in restrooms and how in the hell 141 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.720 often does that happen? Are not going to be able 142 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.519 to get out. Because nobody else has institutional knowledge of 143 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:47.120 how to unlock a bathroom. They can't hire a local 144 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.519 locksmith to do the job on a temporary basis, or 145 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.440 just call one up on an as needed basis. Nobody 146 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.720 else knows how to open a lock bathroom and usementy 147 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.679 National Park. This guy can't be fired. That's the argument 148 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:06.799 they're making. Elsewhere in that article, they say the firing 149 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.960 of one thousand Park Service probationary employees quote is what 150 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:21.440 some are calling a Valentine's Day massacre. Huh. Also Nazi 151 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.879 like Virginia State Delegate Joshua Cole claimed on Friday, I claimed, 152 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.120 he claimed in Friday's Richmond Hearing that his constituents are 153 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.240 with in the congressional district that has the highest concentration 154 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:39.799 of federal workers in the state. You represent Fredericksburg, right 155 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.440 there next to Alexandria, more federal workers, I guess by 156 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.279 concentration than anyplace else. I must say that I have 157 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.759 seen so many different people on social media rather excited 158 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.600 about these dogs cuts, rather excited about these job losses, 159 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.440 Cole said, And that reminds me of a quote from 160 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.519 a long time ago. At first they came for the Jews, 161 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.840 and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Jewish. Then 162 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.000 they came for the trade unionist and I didn't speak 163 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.440 up because I wasn't a trade unist. And then when 164 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.240 they came for me, there was no one to speak 165 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:14.000 up because everyone had been taken. So this is akin 166 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:21.480 to the rounding up of Jews. Then, huh, whatever? I know, Liam, 167 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.240 and he had all boils down to the loss of 168 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.559 money that he foresees coming in the future. He said, well, 169 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.559 back when COVID hit and obviously the shutdown of the government, said, 170 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.440 the difference between now and then is we had extra 171 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.000 money coming in. Yeah, you did, didn't you, Because Joe 172 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.879 Biden started getting the check book out and passing trillions 173 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.960 of dollars of cash infusions, basically to rescue cities from 174 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.519 themselves who had become so indebted that they had no 175 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.519 way to get out. See, that's what I believe was 176 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.799 the cover for all that COVID money going out. But 177 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.440 that's just me, he said, this time, we're actually going 178 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.480 to be losing money over this situation. I'm very interested 179 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.559 in how the loss of that money and fetal income 180 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.799 is going to impact our communities talk to the eastern 181 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:17.120 Kentucky coal miner communities. Yeah, of course. House Minority leader 182 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.919 there Todd Gilbert had something to say, comparing the loss 183 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.399 of some government jobs to the Holocaust is an insult 184 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.360 to the memory of the millions who were slaughtered by 185 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:31.480 the Nazi regime, stating the obvious on that one. And oh, look, Joe, 186 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.279 did you notice the line of protesters up outside of 187 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:39.120 the building this morning protesting starbucks layoff of more than 188 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.679 one thousand workers. They're everywhere, aren't they. Oh my god, 189 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:51.039 it's the Holocaust. Starbucks said, will be laying off eleven 190 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:57.279 hundred corporate employees and not be filling hundreds of open roles. 191 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.200 Part of the new chief executive Brian Nichols f it's 192 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:09.679 to streamline operations. Well, we're he said yesterday. The cuts 193 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.759 would remove corporate layers and duplications and would help the 194 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.919 coffee company become more focused. We believe it's a necessary 195 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.639 change to position Starbucks for future success. 196 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.639 Huh. 197 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:30.960 Anybody my listening audience ever been through a corporate restructuring. Yeah, 198 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.360 a lot of people will lose jobs in a corporate restructure. 199 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.320 You won't see a word written in a paper, and 200 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:36.879 the only reason I think they wrote this one is 201 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:44.559 because it's well Starbucks. They say these layouts are a 202 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.919 one of the largest rounds of cuts in Starbucks history. 203 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.000 Back in twenty eighteen, they laid out five percent of 204 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.240 the global workforce, that was three hundred and fifty people. 205 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.000 Why the streamline operations make the company more efficient, make 206 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.559 it more profitable. And of course at the app aftermath 207 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.720 of the one thy or eleven hundred employee a layoff 208 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.840 announcement on yesterday, Starbucks shares went up. Why because the 209 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.879 company will be more efficient and ergo more profitable. Oh 210 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.159 and look at this. Unlike the opportunity the Trump administration 211 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.960 provided to those employees who would take a voluntary well retirement, 212 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.440 they get paid through September and not have to report 213 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.200 to work, so it's like they still have a job 214 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.639 all the way through September. Starbucks said it would be 215 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.879 the employees that were affected by this. Laid off workers 216 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:40.039 would receive pay and benefits at least until May. Tewod 217 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:47.639 that's why there's all those protesters outside Joe. How dare 218 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:53.559 Starbucks do this? Yeah, like the Nazis five eighteen fifty 219 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.639 five ker c Detalk stations. Stick around more to come 220 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.840 and I would enjoy hearing from you. If you want 221 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.960 to call up five one, three, seven, four, nine, five, 222 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:05.039 five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talks. It 223 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.960 is time and pardon me. Wow, I came out of 224 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:15.360 nowhere for the channel nine first one. Ah see if 225 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:19.480 I wait long enough, I want to see partly sunny 226 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:26.679 day to day mild fifty six. It actually says not 227 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:32.840 cold on the weather forecast Joe overnight LOA thirty five 228 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.480 with partly cloudy sky's Wednesday partly cloudist slight chance rang 229 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:42.440 better chance at night high A sixty two. Let us 230 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.600 see loa forty overnight and on Thursday partly cloudy day 231 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.399 with a slow should be dry high A fifty A 232 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.399 lot of extraneous information in the news or in the 233 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.559 weather report this morning forty six degrees right now for 234 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:59.440 five KCD talk station. That's why Joe says he always 235 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.039 used to re maybe it could you know, you could 236 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.120 be editor of the of the weather report before it 237 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.279 gets to me. You could have a look at it 238 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.120 and uh or I could just read it ahead of 239 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.440 time and strike out the superfluous information. If I went 240 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:17.480 three seven, four nine fifty eight two three talk related 241 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.240 to nothing I've talked about this morning, but I thought 242 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.320 this was rather preposterous and a little indication how bad 243 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.600 things are in terms of crime. We know about San 244 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.360 Francisco and the decriminalization of shoplifting, what that brought the 245 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.679 hell that that brought up the state of California and 246 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.600 other cities in California. You go to Brooklyn where what 247 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.960 is described as a crime battered McDonald's now is going 248 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.879 to prohibit or they're currently is now prohibiting anybody under 249 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.200 the age of twenty from entering without a parent or 250 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.200 a proper identification. They keep it locked. 251 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:50.799 Now. 252 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.600 They've got a couple of security guards up front carting people. 253 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.639 Nineteen year old manager Amber Hussein talk with The New 254 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.840 York Post, which provided the reporting on this, says that 255 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.080 a group of juveniles had that had swarmed into the 256 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.159 restaurant after school, assaulted a security guard and shattered a 257 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.320 glass door, one of a multitude of crimes. Get a 258 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.759 load of this. The location has prompted three hundred and 259 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.799 twenty four nine to one one calls in the last 260 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.799 three years alone, and apparently it's been a hotspot for 261 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.279 crime for more than a dozen years back in twenty eleven, 262 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.919 one incident captured, of course on video. Two punks ambushed 263 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.399 an eighteen year old as he walked in and shot 264 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.480 him multiple times. They feel sorry for that kid that 265 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:42.799 got shot, but apparently the victim himself had five robbery arrests, 266 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.879 but he dodged death in that shooting incident. According to 267 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.679 the manager Husseins observations over the year working there, if 268 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.399 you visited during after school hours, upwards of twenty teens 269 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.960 would come in, trash the store, hurl ice at patients 270 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:01.919 or patrons rather uber drivers of their bags of food, 271 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.279 and fill the restaurant with marijuana smoke. Now they're barring 272 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.960 entry to children and teenagers through the age of nineteen 273 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:11.759 who are not accompanied by a parent with a proper 274 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.920 ID So I guess they card the parents so they 275 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.119 know who to hold accountable. Apparently after this it was 276 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.599 implemented a post which is doing the reporting again saw 277 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.000 a group of excluded teens standing outside the door shaking 278 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:33.160 their fists in anger. Now staff with two security guards 279 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.839 at a time barring unsupervised teenagers, which of course has 280 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.559 to drive the price of food up. Now you got 281 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.079 two more salaried people there for the purpose of providing 282 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.440 some form of protection for the people who dare walking 283 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:54.160 into the McDonald's insanity. Five five kc DE talk station, 284 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.559 local stories coming up, alternative the lead. You can call, 285 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.119 which would be great.

Let's see here, 287 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.200 Maybe a little light rain this morning, say it should 288 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.079 be moving out by six am. I did not encounter any, 289 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.960 but of course I'm only one area. Partly sunny day 290 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.839 high on fifty six. Overnight a thirty five with clouds 291 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.880 sixty two to the high tomorrow with a slight chance 292 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.200 of rain set a better chance overnight or in the evening. 293 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.359 So you got rain overnight storm possibly after seven pm, 294 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.920 low of forty degrees, and then come Thursday it's going 295 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.319 to be partly cloudy and a high a fifty. Right now, 296 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:45.960 it's forty seven degrees at five KRCD talk station at 297 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:49.480 five kr SEA dot com. Get your dose of Christopher 298 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.440 Smitheman this smither vent. If you didn't get a chance 299 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.960 to listen, did that conversation with Jennifer crows Gross followed 300 00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:59.960 up by the prior conversation I had with Keith faberback 301 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.440 in January of two thousand and three about Medicaid fraud, 302 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.759 made some progress and identifying fraud, waste and abuse. And 303 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.880 Jennifer Gross's on the sub committee assigned to that project, 304 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.680 and it sounds like she has held been for leather 305 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.720 to get rid of it because as we kind of 306 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:19.720 learn through the conversations, probably about ten billion dollars is 307 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:24.480 being wasted. And someone called observe by Jay, my listener, 308 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.599 who's been paying very close and attention to this issue. 309 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.559 He always calls in when we talk about it. An 310 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:34.400 excellent concept. And think about the vic Gramaswamy being really 311 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.119 focused on education reform. If we clawed back or otherwise 312 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:43.440 didn't send out into the ether ten billion dollars, we 313 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.319 could all get massive property tax relief. Just apply that 314 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.160 and pay for the schools through that way. That way 315 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.480 we could comply with the Supreme Court decision of twenty 316 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:53.599 plus years ago saying our current funding mechanism for schools 317 00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.960 is unconstitutional, yet nothing has ever been done about it. 318 00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.960 Maybe if we use the money that didn't go out 319 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.759 the door and fraud, wasted abuse from medicaid, then we 320 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.720 could fund the schools and you and I would get 321 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:09.039 a massive relief from property tax. Here's a bill you 322 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:16.400 weren't expecting. Going to local stories, thank you to Sam 323 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:21.160 harassmal Witz reporting from WCPO.

According to Linwood resident interviewed 331 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.319 Matt Sittak talking to WCPO, he was given a bill. 332 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.079 Are you ready for more than twenty one hundred dollars 333 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:55.880 by the city to repair the sidewalks by May twenty third? Yeah, 334 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.680 out of nowhere, here's a two thousand dollars bill. You 335 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:01.720 weren't what you weren't planning on.

City spokesperson said, the sidewalks 340 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.759 are evaluated by the Sidewalk Condemnation Guidelines. You didn't know 341 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:26.720 we had those.

There may be a C marking on some 345 00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:43.119 of the damaged sidewalks, which means those aren't charged to 346 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.799 the resident.

Some exceptions, for example, if the sidewalk 350 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.559 is adjacent to a corner lot in a residential area. 351 00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.000 If a resident receives one of these bills, they have 352 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:06.000 three options ready hire a licensed residential street contractor. City 353 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.920 provides a list of those on the website. Replace the 354 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:14.000 sidewalk yourself, which is only an option if you have 355 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.880 a proper city license.

Hamlin County 369 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:23.599 Common Police prosecute. A court judge Leslie Giz announced yesterday 370 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.519 the two men charge was setting the blaze. Terry Styles 371 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.839 of Arlington Heights, thirty nine years old twenty three year 372 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:33.799 old Zachary Stump of Owensville, both competent to stand trial. 373 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.079 Each man charged with three counts of aggravated arson and 374 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.559 one kind of arson. They pleaded not guilty, could serve 375 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:43.640 up the four decades in prison if convicted. Styles lawyer 376 00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:45.640 Monday said she plans a file of plea on behalf 377 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.319 of not the on behalf of the not guilty by 378 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.400 reason of insanity. Of the two suspects, James Hamilton, twenty 379 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:57.440 six and twenty four year old Keelan Hall of Arlington Heights, 380 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.920 expected to be assigned trial dates. Both are keeping their 381 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.799 current not guilty please according to their attorneys. If convicted, 382 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.160 Hamilton Hall could each face a maximum sentence of six 383 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.240 years in prison. They're accused of giving misleading information to investigators. 384 00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:18.240 Now this is terrible. Community agencies across Boone County have 385 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.119 formed a task force after five juveniles died by suicide 386 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.440 within the school district since just November, effort to bring 387 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:29.799 resources and a plan of action for those struggling with 388 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.920 suicidal ideation. I guess. Spokesperson for the Boone County Suicide 389 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.839 Response Team, Elaine Zenner, speaking with Fox nineteen, said, you know, 390 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.759 the loss of one loss is too many. Five is 391 00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:41.799 a call to action. It's time for us to come together. 392 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:46.039 Coroner's office confirmed the five juvenile desks by suicide within 393 00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:48.640 the Boone County School District since November of last year. 394 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.000 In response, parent advocate, school officials, and local police departments, 395 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:55.319 health officials and more are coming together to form the 396 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.200 Boone County Suicide Response Team with the goal of helping 397 00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:03.000 youths and teams experiencing mental health challenges. You know, I 398 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:05.480 blame social media a lot on this, and it's easy 399 00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.920 for me to do that. There's a lot of reasons 400 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.160 someone might, you know, think suicide is the right option. 401 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.960 But it's another thing I observe about the fake Gramaswamy, 402 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.279 he wants to ban cell phones and smart devices from 403 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:23.359 schools completely in the entire state. I think that will 404 00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.680 be a great step in the direction of better education 405 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.799 and less social media influence, which obviously is having a 406 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.319 profound effect on our young people. Just my two cents 407 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.119 for what they're worth. Stupid coming up. Alternatively, you can 408 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:37.680 call feel Free.

Over to the phones we go, Mississippi. James, 434 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:02.720 Welcome back, my friend. Always good to hear from you. 435 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.160 Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. You know yesterday I want 436 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.920 to piggyback on Dan Hill, and I agree with him 437 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:16.559 one hundred percent. You know, the priority was to separate the. 438 00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:20.640 Two groups on the bridge, the armed people. Let's remind 439 00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:25.319 our listeners, both sides had guns, long guns and handguns, 440 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.720 and that could have been a shooting situation. That was 441 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.519 Dan's point. At least nobody got killed, and the first 442 00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.599 priority of the police was to separate those two and 443 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:35.079 keep them from shooting each other. 444 00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:39.559 I agree within one percent on that. That's the first thing. 445 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:40.759 Okay. 446 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.200 Now, after they got separated and Whack went back down 447 00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:49.079 by the Lochland School where that was the opportunity to 448 00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:53.839 get names and Id's all right now to me never 449 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.880 been a police officer, I was a firefighter worked along 450 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:01.359 with the police officer. And that seemed like, uh, police 451 00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:05.039 worked one oh one to get Id's a name in case. 452 00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.880 I've heard him say that many times, I need some 453 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.920 might be from you in case something come up. I 454 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.880 need to reduce my report. So that seemed like police 455 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.000 worked one oh one. Now he may call it Monday 456 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.519 morning quarterback. I'm just looking at it on another end, 457 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.880 So you know, it sounded like some of his bias 458 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.720 is coming out on that. But we agree, no one 459 00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:32.599 got shot. Your kudos to Lachland, Evendale, Hamilton County, whoever 460 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.319 was there. They de escalated, they defused it. 461 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:36.799 Yep. 462 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.640 Now after that, names should have been taken. Well, I 463 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.559 just didn't case. 464 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.079 I don't know. I can't sit here and say that 465 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.079 they weren't taken. I mean there's no I haven't read 466 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.640 any reporting that said nope, the police did not bother 467 00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:53.839 to take names. But I haven't also seen that their 468 00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.200 police got names. I don't know that that's even something 469 00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.240 any of our locals reporters would be even thinking about doing, 470 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:02.200 you know, a question that they would even think to ask. 471 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.920 I literally do not know whether or not names were taken, 472 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.039 or a dresses were taken, or IDs were asked for 473 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.400 nothing about that. I mean, everybody's focused so much on 474 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:14.279 the racism that was going on and the fact that 475 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.359 these two groups both showed up armed, which is the 476 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.880 biggest part of the story. So the minutia behind the scenes, 477 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:24.480 I can't speak to that at all. I have no 478 00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:25.799 problem with what you're saying. 479 00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.440 About you speaking to it. You know, I understand your position. 480 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.599 It ain't important that Brian can speak to it. It's important. 481 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:34.359 Did it happen. 482 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.039 But no, I mean Mississippi, James, you're speaking to it 483 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.559 as well. Do you know whether or not names were taken? No, 484 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:43.839 I don't, right, that's my point. So I mean, you 485 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:46.480 can be critical of them if they didn't perhaps, But 486 00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.799 I haven't heard anyone say names were not taken or 487 00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:52.400 names were taken. And I don't even know what police 488 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.599 protocol is under those circumstances. Honestly, James, I'm not a 489 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:59.000 police officer either, so you know it may be a 490 00:29:59.079 --> 00:29:59.640 valid point. 491 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:02.839 I've been on the scene a lot of time with 492 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.599 the police officers. I've heard that question asked, Okay, you 493 00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.440 know in situation not like that that was that was 494 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.480 different for this day and age. Yeah, you know, and 495 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:20.480 they handle it, so get an officer kudos, say nobody attacked, 496 00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.680 they defuse it, de escalated. That's what I'm all about. 497 00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.839 But after that, you know, we don't want to see 498 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.799 bias coming in and just let it be, because I've 499 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.480 seen too many times that they asked, well, we need 500 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.160 our DA just to see in case we have to 501 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.279 do our report, if we need to get back with 502 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:39.839 you to ask you some questions. 503 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:43.599 Sure, I'm just yeah, like for example, like For example, 504 00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.720 if some citizen comes up two days three days after 505 00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.839 it and says, I have a video here showing one 506 00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:52.079 of them beating somebody over the head with a sign 507 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:54.559 or something, then you'd be right, Well, we've got the 508 00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:56.440 names of the people who are involved. We can follow 509 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.319 up on that. So I get your point. But see 510 00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:03.960 it's a valid point, James. I'm not arguing with the point. 511 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:09.680 I'm just saying, maybe they did get names in the 512 00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:13.400 absence of information positive or negative. You raise a valid issue. 513 00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.839 You hope that they did, and they should have if 514 00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:19.720 they didn't. But I'm just going to leave it out 515 00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.079 there for others to contemplate, and maybe someone in law 516 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:24.319 enforcement that was involved in the incident can call up 517 00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.359 and say, no, we got names, or no we didn't, 518 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.680 but here's why we didn't. I appreciate the fundamental point 519 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.279 you're making them. I don't think you need call looking 520 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.920 for an argument, James. But you're just saying maybe that 521 00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.200 should have happened, or that should have happened. Five forty 522 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:39.680 five afty five KRC detalk station stick around, got more 523 00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.920 to talk about and stack as stupid or your calls. 524 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.680 Either way we go.

Coleman County Sheriff's office taken 620 00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:36.719 over Mayor.

What happened, the jury determined 628 00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:13.559 at William's death was the direct result of negligence and 629 00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.719 disregard for life by the police department. Comen County District 630 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.280 Attorney said the evidence room was not secure and was 631 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:25.159 routinely accessed by individuals who were not authorized to do so. Specifically, 632 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.960 the room had a large hole in the wall. The 633 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.119 room was frequently used by individuals to access evidence through 634 00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:42.480 that hole.

That's where 642 00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:12.360 the drugs are. Five fifty six fifty five kr C 643 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.559 DE Talk station coming up, Ken Cobra FOP President.

Rare turn of FLP President Ken Kober 660 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:14.920 on what's up with judges issuing lower on recognizance bonds 661 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:19.840 to violent and dangerous perpetrators. Well, fast forward an hour 662 00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:25.079 A special big picture with Jack Adviton. Is Trump colluding 663 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:28.880 with Pewtin? I'm sure that relates to this ongoing negotiations 664 00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:32.320 he's having directly with Peutin with the absence of the 665 00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.320 Ukrainian president. And of course you can comment, I'm sure 666 00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.360 on the UN resolution that we didn't participate in, and 667 00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:40.559 I just have to regardless how you feel about whether 668 00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:42.920 we voted with Russia or against Russia, and we did 669 00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:45.280 vote with Russia and saying no to the resolution, it's 670 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.719 a resolution, doesn't mean anything, just like most of what 671 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.400 the UN does. Hate the freaking UN it, you know, 672 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.159 the in terms of us just sort of approach. The 673 00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.880 idea of getting together is a fine approach, but it 674 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.119 just becomes nothing but a drain on massive resources and 675 00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:05.880 a big protection mechanism for a bunch of terrorist organizations 676 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.559 around the world. Anyhow, sorry, I always have to interject 677 00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:13.119 some negative comment about the UN. The Vake Ramaswamy he'll 678 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:14.880 be joining the program at eight oh five in lieu 679 00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.719 of the bright bark inside scoop. But I'm happy to 680 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:19.880 have him. He announced formally yesterday, and he's already got 681 00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:24.840 the endorsement of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I know JD. 682 00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:28.519 Vans is Vice President, but the current circumstances, it seems 683 00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:32.360 more like Elon Musk. Anyway, Daniel Davis deep dive on 684 00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:35.000 Russia Ukraine? Is there finally going to be an end 685 00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:41.280 to that bloody conflict? And speaking of JD Vance, I 686 00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:43.159 know this is a story that's near and dear to 687 00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:46.840 many of my listeners. Hearts, because this young child has 688 00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:49.199 been denied a heart transplant because she didn't get the 689 00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:51.880 COVID nineteen vaccine. President JD Vance now stepping in to 690 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.320 help his twelve year old relative. He is a distant 691 00:41:54.400 --> 00:42:01.239 relative related Advance to her adoptive brother, Jacob Dial, who's 692 00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.559 married to the Vice president's half sister, Chelsea. Go ahead, 693 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:06.719 and you try to work the math on that one. Anyway. 694 00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:11.320 Adeline Deal born in China, adopted when she was four, 695 00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:15.320 diagnosed at birth with two rare heart conditions Epstein's anomaly 696 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:21.599 and wolf Parkinson White syndrome. Jade Vance got winto this again, 697 00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:24.280 distant relative he's I guess it's been circulating on social media, 698 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:25.400 but I was made aware of it a couple of 699 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:27.239 days ago. And we're trying to dig in and trying 700 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.039 to help obviously as much as possible. It is a 701 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.400 distant relative, but somebody I care about, so we're trying 702 00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:38.199 to figure get exactly what's going on. Jenny Deal mom 703 00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.679 praised Vance's comments helping her daughter or commitment to helping 704 00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:43.920 her daughter and hope the Trump administration would push Congress 705 00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.559 to pass a bill to protect unvaccinated Americans from discrimination 706 00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:52.960 in hospitals. And there's more on that. She's received on 707 00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:56.159 and off treatment since arriving in America at CINCINNTI Children's Hospital. 708 00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:58.199 Been going there for nearly a decade, and the family 709 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.239 had hoped that the hospital would perform the trans plan. 710 00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.000 Family told by the hospital's doctors that she would not 711 00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.880 be placed on the transplant waiting list until she got 712 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:11.320 vaccinated against COVID and the flu. Joe, didn't they get 713 00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:15.119 the flu vaccine wrong this year? I believe they did 714 00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:23.000 so get vaccinated for something that's not circulating. Ponder that now, 715 00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:25.880 since a children's first parts that it requires transplant patients 716 00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:27.920 to be vaccinated because they need to take the anti 717 00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.800 rejection immuni suppress and drugs for the rest of their lives, 718 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:35.760 making them more vulnerable. So ponder this. So, after doing 719 00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:40.719 the transplant, assuming she got the requisite yet possibly unnecessary vaccines, 720 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:44.480 are they going to make sure she gets them the 721 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:46.480 rest of her life because every year there's a new 722 00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:48.039 flu variant. Every year they come up with a new 723 00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:53.119 flu vaccine. Just asking, but probably not because the family 724 00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:56.159 described as non denominational Christians don't have any plans of 725 00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:58.159 giving their daughter a vaccine because they say it goes 726 00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.400 against the religious beliefs, which they're entitled to her own 727 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.440 religious beliefs. Regardless of what you think. 728 00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:03.559 We do. 729 00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:05.639 Live in a country where we have the free exercise 730 00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:07.159 of religion, and there are a lot of folks out 731 00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:11.000 there that don't believe in vaccines. Christian scientists, I think 732 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.719 are like that. They don't believe in medical intervention, divining 733 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.599 it it violates God's will. You know, if something happens 734 00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:19.880 to you, that's God's plan for you, and I guess 735 00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:21.480 you just deal with it, kind of like what we 736 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:26.239 did before modern medicine. But apparently one doctor on her 737 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:31.079 transplant team did sign off on the girls surgery even 738 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:33.960 though she wasn't vaccinated known that about that, but other 739 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:38.440 people on the team and apparently all members on the 740 00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:41.960 team have to sign on the approval, but several other 741 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:44.199 members of the team did not approve it, so she 742 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:50.320 has been denied the opportunity. Recent checkups said she was 743 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.800 deemed stable, but they always have concerns that her condition 744 00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:57.760 could worsen. Now, a bill was introduced on Valentine's Day 745 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:01.360 by a representative Aaron Hochen publican out of Indiana, which 746 00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:03.559 is where I believe this childhood comes from and lives, 747 00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:08.000 as well as Mike Ruley in Ohio. It's called the 748 00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.559 COVID nineteen Vaccination Non Discrimination Acted when sure Americans who 749 00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:17.360 are refused transplants cannot be refused a transplant over their 750 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:22.239 personal religious medical decisions quote from a representative coach and 751 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:26.119 denying a child a life saving transplant over a COVID 752 00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:31.000 nineteen vaccine is not science, it's cruelty. Hospitals exist to 753 00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:34.800 save lives, not implos medical mandates on vulnerable patients. Families 754 00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:36.960 deserve the freedom to make the best medical decision for 755 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:39.360 their loved ones without fear of being blacklisted from life 756 00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:41.760 saving care. This bill will put an end to this 757 00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:48.679 unjust practice. And remember, what do we learn? Children not 758 00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:51.039 usually succumb to the vaccine. And I know she's a 759 00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.679 in the comorbid category. See may want intigate that argument, 760 00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:59.719 but generally speaking, COVID not a risk for young people. 761 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:02.639 So let's take her out of that category given her 762 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:09.679 corbid condition. Question, does the COVID nineteen vaccine prevent you 763 00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:18.519 from getting COVID nineteen? What have we learned? No, it 764 00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:21.039 also doesn't stop you from spreading it. But I don't 765 00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:25.480 think that's a concern here. In any event, maybe that 766 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:30.800 bill might pass. And I bring this up one because 767 00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:33.800 I just find it so alarming that that's what's going 768 00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:36.480 on over at Children's. And you know, I praise what 769 00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.960 his children have done over the years, and the benefits 770 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:42.920 of my family has been blessed with with the wonderful 771 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:45.679 medical professionals at Children's Hospital. This is not an indictment 772 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:50.960 of them, but it's an indictment of the policy. But 773 00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:56.880 now wait for it, were a moment in time away 774 00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:00.119 from maybe having to go through this again. Experts, it's 775 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:07.000 a current US outbreak of the bird flu is unlikely 776 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:11.199 to end without intervention because further mutations of the virus 777 00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:14.000 is likely. New variant of H five and one bird 778 00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:16.639 flu is spilled over into dairy cows, apparently in Nevada 779 00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:21.159 and Arizona, and they're theorizing about how the virus is 780 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.239 spread and leading to questions about containing the ongoing outbreaks, 781 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:26.920 which apparently not going to be able to do. One 782 00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.599 influence of virologists and co director at the Center for 783 00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:33.360 Transmission of Airborne Pathogens at Emery School of Medicine. They've 784 00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:37.960 got one of those, Sima black Dawala, speaking with The Guardian. 785 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.639 It's endemic now in cows. There is no way this 786 00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:44.840 is going to get contained on its own, notice my 787 00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:49.480 emphasis on the words on its own. Current outbreak they 788 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.480 say is unlikely to end without intervention and needs close 789 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:59.199 attention from the Trump administration. Hmmm. Also pointing out bird 790 00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:01.840 flu continues is happening against the backdrop of the worst 791 00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:04.559 flu season fifteen years. Don't know how the two are connected, 792 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.000 but maybe they are. So you've got bird flu they 793 00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:11.320 found it in rats, that's getting in cows more regularly. Now, 794 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:17.079 So what does that mean that Means Health and Human 795 00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:20.239 Services announced on Friday, and it was giving approximately five 796 00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:24.880 hundred and ninety million dollars to Moderna to produce an 797 00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:28.280 mr NA vaccine against bird flu and other influenza strains 798 00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:38.280 with pandemic potential. You knew it was coming your taxpayer dollars, 799 00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:43.159 complements of HHS's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. They 800 00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.599 say the goal is to get funding ahead of the 801 00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:51.559 H five N one avian influenza strains currently circulating wild birds, poultry, cows, 802 00:48:52.239 --> 00:49:01.159 and sometimes human infections, mostly farm workers up. They're working 803 00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:07.679 on it. Question whether we will don't know that. I 804 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.400 don't want to say fall for it, because I don't 805 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:13.480 know what this H five and one does the humans. 806 00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:15.880 By all accounts, I think only one person has died 807 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.480 from it. Said it like red eyes, watery eyes. I 808 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.039 don't know if it's deadly. I pray to God that 809 00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:25.000 it doesn't become, you know, a pandemic. I pray to 810 00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:27.360 God it isn't something that is any worse than a 811 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:32.480 regular flu. But after going through this nonsense with the 812 00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:35.719 COVID nineteen and the firings and the closures and the 813 00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:40.119 dictatorial control over every aspect of our lives, the denial 814 00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.000 of people an opportunity to go to church, which might 815 00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:47.039 have been good for people living through a pandemic. I 816 00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:50.320 just wonder whether the American public, if that happens, will abide. 817 00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:55.480 What say, you can do something about joint pain? Though 818 00:49:56.760 --> 00:49:59.079 I hear from listeners a lot about this QC Kinetics 819 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:02.280 mercials that I'm doing, and you know my view of life, 820 00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:05.960 and I don't have arthritic praying, thank God. But you 821 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.719 know what, if I did, I certainly would contact the 822 00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:11.360 folks at QC Kinetics because I would try to avoid 823 00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:14.039 surgery at all costs. So, if you've been through the 824 00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.960 pain medication, the steroid injections, you're still suffering with a pain. 825 00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:19.760 Has your quality of life been impacted by chronic pain? 826 00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.960 Your knees hip, shoulders, joins, other areas, trouble sleeping, walking, 827 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:26.199 day to day movement. Do you want to avoid surgery 828 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.239 and long recovery times? Do you miss doing things you 829 00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:33.320 love because joint pains holding you back, like walking, golfing, jogging. 830 00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:35.599 How about if you answered yes to any of those, 831 00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:38.599 you may be a great candidate. So find out calls 832 00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.159 QC Kinetics and ask for a free consultation. Hear that 833 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:45.840 word free.

Maybe this time it's actually 861 00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.119 gonna happen. I'm talking about the Keystone Pipeline. Donald Trump 862 00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:26.000 yesterday is now calling for the companies to start building it, 863 00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:28.480 come back to America and get it built now. He 864 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.480 was quoted as saying, so, I know they were treated 865 00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:34.039 very badly by sleepy Joe Biden, but the Trump administration 866 00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:38.119 is very different. Easy approvals, almost immediate start. If not them, 867 00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:41.519 meaning the company that was originally building it, perhaps another 868 00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:45.000 pipeline company. We want the Keystone XL pipeline built. 869 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:47.880 Ye. 870 00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:52.320 This project started back in twenty ten, President Obama pulled 871 00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:55.039 the plug on it before it was finished. Trump put 872 00:52:55.079 --> 00:52:58.199 it back in place during his first term. Obviously there's 873 00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:00.880 been litigation, but all the contracts will. Litigation allowed it 874 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:05.320 to move forward. TC Energy operated Excel pipeline ultimately gave 875 00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:07.599 up on the project in June of twenty one because 876 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:10.840 Biden pulled the plug on it, canceling the federal permits. 877 00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:14.239 A federal judge in twenty twenty three threw out legal 878 00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:17.519 challenge from nearly two dozen states asking the court to 879 00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:21.480 reinstate the pipeline's permits, so they got the green light. 880 00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:25.119 It was originally scheduled to be completed in early twenty 881 00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:29.559 twenty three. Eight hundred and thirty thousand barrels accrued from 882 00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:37.559 Canada to the US also projected to create thousands of jobs. 883 00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:40.719 A lot of union jobs too, maybe one of the 884 00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:45.760 reasons the union's voted for President Donald Trump. Biden administration 885 00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:49.079 Department of Energy in twenty twenty two, under the Biden 886 00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:52.599 administration published a report that the Keystone Excel project would 887 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:58.639 have created between sixteen thousand and fifty nine thousand jobs 888 00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:00.920 and would have had a positive economic impact between three 889 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:06.320 point four and nine point six billion dollars. I see 890 00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:10.199 no bad news in that Biden administration Department of Energy report. 891 00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:14.960 Can you imagine, and of course, ultimately the pipeline's better 892 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.280 for the environment because, as I pointed out, and everybody knows, 893 00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:20.840 Canada hasn't stopped getting the oil out of the ground. 894 00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:23.000 You just got to ship it by railroad car, which 895 00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:25.599 last time I checked, still run on diesel fuel, belching 896 00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.159 out tons of smoke and carbon into the atmosphere. You 897 00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:32.559 put it through a pipeline, it doesn't do that. And 898 00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:40.079 look all the jobs that it would create. God, it's amazing. 899 00:54:41.079 --> 00:54:44.000 So all the above energy strategy under this administration may 900 00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:48.000 result in the pipeline getting start again. Jason Isaac's CEO 901 00:54:48.039 --> 00:54:50.199 of the American Energy Institute Quota, this thing, restarting the 902 00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:53.360 Keystone EXOL pipeline alignes with Trump's agenda to lower food 903 00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:57.440 and energy costs by bolstering North American energy infrastructure and 904 00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:05.119 reducing reliance on costly import there's a thought and pivoting 905 00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:07.400 it over to green energy, which is the only reasons. 906 00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:10.280 I guess that's an argument for not building it. But again, 907 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:11.960 if the oil is coming out of the ground, it's 908 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.920 going to get burned. The world still has run on 909 00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:19.800 lots of crude. You may recall back in January, the 910 00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:24.719 Vista Energy battery storage facility in Monterey County. It caught fire. 911 00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:33.400 Guess what it happened again and alert urged residents to 912 00:55:33.559 --> 00:55:37.239 close windows and doors as fire crews were fighting the blaze. 913 00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:47.159 Why toxic fumes coming from batteries on fire. Last month 914 00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:49.519 it led to an evacuation of residents in the county. 915 00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:52.960 Alerted that the community of unknown hazards posed by the smoke. 916 00:55:53.079 --> 00:55:56.199 And there's all kinds of nastiness that comes out of 917 00:55:56.239 --> 00:55:59.599 these things catching on fire. So the EPA EPA is 918 00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:03.519 now my honitoring the air again sampling for heavy metals 919 00:56:03.559 --> 00:56:08.000 among other toxic chemicals. I don't know how closing your 920 00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:10.800 doors and windows actually helps a situation, but that's what's 921 00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:14.840 going on. Close your doors and windows because the air 922 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.199 from the outside what can't get into your house. If 923 00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:20.679 you believe that I have a bridge, I want to 924 00:56:20.719 --> 00:56:24.000 sell you. Coming up next, Ken cob or FOP president, 925 00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:27.719 to talk about low or no bonds for dangerous purpse 926 00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:30.079 that's going on in here in Hamilton County. First word 927 00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:32.360 for my good friend Peter Shabria Keilor Williams, seven Hills, 928 00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:35.400 outstanding human being. He is just a brilliant brilliant man, 929 00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:39.320 and that brilliance has gathered together and as have been 930 00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:41.960 a magnet for the best real estate talent in the 931 00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:45.199 greater Cincinnati area. And they're offering all kinds of programs 932 00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:47.280 that nobody else is doing. But my fundamental point on 933 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:49.840 this is if you retain the Shabri Group of Keler Williams, 934 00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:52.800 you're going to get quality real estate agents, whether you 935 00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:55.360 either're a buyer's agent for you or a seller's agent. 936 00:56:56.039 --> 00:56:58.320 And my favorite program they offer is get out of 937 00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:01.480 Dodge program. It's not what it is. But if you 938 00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:04.119 just want to skip the hassle of traditional sales process, 939 00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:06.760 which I know because I've been through it more my 940 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.159 wife than me, because I moved down here and started 941 00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:11.119 working at the new job. I left her with the 942 00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:13.719 task of keeping the house clean and ready and in 943 00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:17.000 order and getting the dogs out while other people showed 944 00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:18.880 up to look at the house. You know, it's a headache, 945 00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:22.239 it's a hassle. Don't have to do that. Skip the 946 00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.840 hassle of traditional process. Get in touch with the SBRI group. 947 00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:27.960 Within forty eight hours of them seeing your home, they 948 00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:30.519 will have a cash offer for you.

The talk station. 976 00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:54.880 Six thirty fifty five KRC Detalk station A Happy Tuesday 977 00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:58.119 extra special because we get Ken Cover, FOP President for 978 00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:02.199 the CINCINNT Police Department, six chapter sixty nine, Ken Kober, 979 00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:03.440 Welcome back to the morning show. 980 00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:05.880 Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me. 981 00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:09.880 Now this topic low or no bond for some pretty 982 00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:14.920 significant offenses. Do the police officers react to this? I mean, 983 00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:18.039 are there Do they get upset when someone's let out 984 00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:20.519 on un recognizance when they have been oh, I don't know, 985 00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:24.559 arrested for carrying concealed weapons and properly handing a firearm, 986 00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:26.800 et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Is this something that 987 00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:28.400 you know you sort of take personally? 988 00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:33.480 Oh well, there's no doubt the frustration of having an 989 00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:36.039 armed encounter with a suspect, and I wanted to find 990 00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:38.400 out that they get an O or bond is something 991 00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:41.239 that I constantly get calls out. And as we saw 992 00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:44.280 last week, as I started getting calls, I figured out 993 00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:47.119 real quick which judge was in roomy. And it makes 994 00:59:47.159 --> 00:59:49.639 complete sense because we let everybody out. The reign of 995 00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:53.239 terror for Judge Silverstein has finally ended. She's not in Romayne. 996 00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:53.719 It this week? 997 00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:57.840 Oh this week, but what of next week? 998 00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:01.719 Well, thank god, it's only about they do a rotation, 999 01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:03.800 so all the municipal court judges have to do a 1000 01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:04.480 week at a time. 1001 01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:08.840 So luckily we only have for about four times a year. 1002 01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:11.960 Okay, but she's the biggest offender in terms of low 1003 01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:14.320 or no bond and at least in terms of your 1004 01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:18.119 perception of how the judges handle bond situations. 1005 01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:21.039 By far, by far the worst. And you know, in 1006 01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:23.599 twenty twenty two, Issue one was passed by the voters 1007 01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:28.119 that said judges will consider public safety when issuing bail, 1008 01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:30.559 and it's something she just refuses to do. And apparently 1009 01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:33.320 she just snubs her nose to the voters of Ohio. 1010 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.599 I mean, I guess you're not a lawyer, and I 1011 01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:39.599 don't know what the procedures are, but it seems to 1012 01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:41.760 me that someone might subject her to sort of an 1013 01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:44.440 ethical review or a caller on the carpet for not 1014 01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:47.159 paying attention to what the law requires. I know, this 1015 01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.639 all enters in the realm of subjectivity. You're sitting on 1016 01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:51.920 the bench and you've got to decide what the bond's 1017 01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:53.880 going to be set in. But you know, look like, 1018 01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:58.559 for example, this Andre Thomas person trafficking and drugs, multiple 1019 01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:03.719 counts of trafficking drugs, possession drugs, multiple counts, champering with evidence, vandalism. 1020 01:01:04.159 --> 01:01:07.280 I mean all these during one particular incident. That sounds 1021 01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:10.039 like a person who is a threat to society. 1022 01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:13.599 Without a doubt. I mean, we saw it last week. 1023 01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:15.960 I mean there were people that were convicted falons for 1024 01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:20.719 carrying guns, convicted of violent felonies, felonious assault, shootings, things 1025 01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:24.800 like that, that get rearrested after having been convicted, only 1026 01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:27.360 to get our bonds and released right back down. 1027 01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:27.800 Of the community. 1028 01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:31.360 It's something that's certainly creating a massive danger to the 1029 01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:34.559 residents and the citizens the visitors of Hamilton County. 1030 01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.480 Yeah, a recidivist, that's someone who did not learn a 1031 01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:39.639 lesson from the criminal justice system, which is if you 1032 01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:43.039 commit crimes, you're going to face some punishment. Clearly, there 1033 01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.239 wasn't enough punishment there and they aren't facing any repercussions, 1034 01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:48.960 so there's no disincentive. Screw it, I'm gonna go back 1035 01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:50.400 out and start dealing drugs again. 1036 01:01:51.639 --> 01:01:52.480 Yeah, without a doubt. 1037 01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:55.440 I mean the most egregious one, or one of the 1038 01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:58.400 more egregious ones, I'll say, was an eighteen year old 1039 01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:02.480 who was caught a gun. He's not under disability because 1040 01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.440 he had previously been convicted, but now he's eighteen. He 1041 01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:07.639 got an O R bond but was held on a 1042 01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:11.000 parole holder, so they took him over to eight twenty 1043 01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:14.199 four Broadway Juvenile Court to answer to this parole holder, 1044 01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:17.679 only to be unhandcuffed, and then when he realized that 1045 01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:20.519 he was going to be held, he escaped from a 1046 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:25.639 twenty four Broadway. Thankfully, Thankfully he was rearrested. But this 1047 01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:27.719 is this is what's going on in Hamilton County with 1048 01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:29.800 certain judges, and it's got to stop. 1049 01:02:30.199 --> 01:02:33.440 We'll take the case of Frederic Weisch, released on his 1050 01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:38.119 own recognizance. Count A carrying a concealed weapon, County improperly 1051 01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:41.159 handling firearms in a motor vehicle count see having weapons 1052 01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:44.320 while under disability count the failed to comply with an 1053 01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:47.679 order or signal of the police officer, so uncooperative on 1054 01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:51.840 top of everything else, out on his own recognizance. 1055 01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:54.519 Yeah, there was another one I posted last week. 1056 01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.519 A guy that's a convicted felon from federal gun and 1057 01:02:57.599 --> 01:03:01.199 drug charges did a federal sentence guy back out. He 1058 01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:03.679 was another one that was stopped, ran from the police. 1059 01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:07.360 He was drunk, head cocaine, had another gun, and we'll 1060 01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:09.119 just give these people o our bonds. 1061 01:03:11.239 --> 01:03:13.599 Well, I'm glad you're bringing this to the public's attention 1062 01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:18.159 because obviously elections have consequences, and this was a bad consequence. 1063 01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:21.039 Do you know when this judge is up for re election? 1064 01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:25.760 Unfortunately not till twenty twenty nine. Oh no, because there 1065 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:27.800 are six year terms with the municipal court. And that's 1066 01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.119 why I actually had posted on our social media page 1067 01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:34.880 that it was the district that she has includes Anderson Township, 1068 01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:39.559 New Town, Norwood in Fairfax. Those are the folks that 1069 01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:42.599 are responsible for getting her into this office. 1070 01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:48.679 Anderson Township. Hmm, that's rather interesting. Wonder what Andrew pappas 1071 01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:53.199 former trustee has to say about that. Well, it's it. 1072 01:03:53.239 --> 01:03:54.719 We're at a break, so let's bring you back and 1073 01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.159 we'll have a little bit further conversation about this because 1074 01:03:57.480 --> 01:03:59.559 it's frustrating. But it doesn't seem as though there's anything 1075 01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:01.599 else we can do about it other than keep raising 1076 01:04:01.719 --> 01:04:05.000 awareness about this. We'll see if there's opportunities for us 1077 01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:07.599 to do this pause, we'll bring Ken Cobra back Fop 1078 01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:10.639 President Ken Cover. It's six thirty five fifty five KRC 1079 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:13.400 detalk station. That'll give me an opportunity to mention my 1080 01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:17.679 favorite auto repair shop, Foreign Exchange, west Chester location. My 1081 01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:21.840 friend Austin has assembled an amazing team of ASE certified 1082 01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:25.239 Master technicians. They can work on any type of traditionally 1083 01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:29.280 imported manufactured car, like from Europe or Asia. You got 1084 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:31.280 an exotic car, take it to Foreign Exchange. You got 1085 01:04:31.360 --> 01:04:32.800 a run of the mill car, take it to Foreign 1086 01:04:32.880 --> 01:04:35.559 Exchange and you'll get it fixed. You'll get a full 1087 01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:38.519 warranty on both parts and service, and you won't pay 1088 01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:42.119 as much as the dealer and quite often a substantial savings. 1089 01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:44.719 I regularly mentioned my oil change, so here I'm doing 1090 01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.559 it again. A simple oil change for my car at 1091 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:50.199 the dealer is like four hundred and fifty bucks. I 1092 01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:52.679 get the same oil and the same filter at Foreign 1093 01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:55.719 Exchange for a little over two hundred bucks. I call 1094 01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:59.920 that a significant saving. It's like half or more than half. 1095 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:03.960 So why Lord knows why they charge so much of 1096 01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:05.519 the dealer. But you don't have to get down that road. 1097 01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:08.239 And car repairs have gotten more and more expensive, just 1098 01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:11.760 like everything inflationary, plessure pressure's, supply chain issues. It's just 1099 01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:13.840 going to cost you a heat blow. So don't get 1100 01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:15.840 down that road. Go to the road that leads to 1101 01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:19.519 Foreign Exchange Westchester location. That's Tylersville Road off seventy five. 1102 01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:22.440 Go east off that exit two streets. It's I mean 1103 01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:25.159 like an eighth of a mile. If hanging right on 1104 01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.960 Kingland Drive and you run right into that wonderful shop, 1105 01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:31.000 they'll treat you great. They're wonderful people. They're very friendly. 1106 01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:32.559 If you want to talk to the mechanic, you have 1107 01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:35.280 the opportunity to do that at Foreign Exchange, unlike the dealer, 1108 01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:37.639 where you have to deal with the service manager exclusively. 1109 01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:40.559 So get a full warranty on parts and service. Put 1110 01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:42.039 a smile on your face for not having to pay 1111 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:44.239 as much five one three six four four twenty six 1112 01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:47.280 twenty six, five one three six four four twenty six 1113 01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:51.079 twenty six online foreign X form the letter X dot com. 1114 01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:54.559 This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station. 1115 01:05:55.159 --> 01:05:58.280 Why is the godfather of a Channel nine? 1116 01:05:58.280 --> 01:05:58.719 First warning? 1117 01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:01.400 We the forecast two day I f fifty six with 1118 01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:04.400 partly sunny skies of the partly cloudy overnight little thirty 1119 01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:07.280 five tomorrow, another partly cloudy day with a slight chance 1120 01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:11.480 of rain sixty two after seven pm tomorrow, chance of 1121 01:06:11.599 --> 01:06:15.800 rain and storms increase overnight little forty and partly cloudy 1122 01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:18.960 on Thursday, with a high of fifty forty degrees.

Lifestyle changes and screenings can make a difference. 1126 01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:30.559 Called five one three five eighty five. You see see 1127 01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:33.119 see a couple of heavy spots on the highways now. 1128 01:06:33.159 --> 01:06:36.039 The heaviest is south Bend two seventy five break lights 1129 01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:38.679 between the Lawrence Perg ramp and the work on the 1130 01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:41.960 Carroll Crawford Bridge. That's getting close to an extra five 1131 01:06:42.039 --> 01:06:46.199 minutes northbound seventy five beginning to slow down between Dixie 1132 01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:50.320 and Kyle's shock INGRAMOM fifty five KR see the talk station. 1133 01:06:56.599 --> 01:06:59.159 Brig Thomas here with FLP President Ken Coble for this 1134 01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:05.199 to say, police, we're talking about the low or zero 1135 01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:07.920 bond un recognizance bond, and the problem seems to lie 1136 01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:12.000 in the lap of Municipal Court Judge Samantha Silverstein, who 1137 01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:14.719 we had a couple of demonstral illustrations of someone who 1138 01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.840 should have had a much higher bond, absolutely representing a 1139 01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:21.320 danger to society which they are required to consider, and 1140 01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:28.039 apparently she's not. Now is she defying or running against 1141 01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:32.320 I guess fundamentally, are the prosecutors asking for a higher 1142 01:07:32.440 --> 01:07:36.039 bond and she's just denying that? Or are has the 1143 01:07:36.159 --> 01:07:40.239 change of the prosecutor's office under now Connie Pillage not 1144 01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:41.960 pushing for higher bonds? 1145 01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:46.400 No, I mean they're still asking for bonds. She's made 1146 01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:48.679 up her mind and when she ran, she ran on 1147 01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:53.639 being this social justice bail reform person. So it's no 1148 01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:56.800 surprise that she's holding true to what she said that 1149 01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:58.639 she was going to do. So you go in there 1150 01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:00.760 in front of her in room May and she'll say, well, 1151 01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:02.320 how much money is it? How much money do you 1152 01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:03.480 have to be able to get out today? And if 1153 01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:04.880 you say I don't have any money, then she goes, 1154 01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:06.119 we'll just give you no our bond. 1155 01:08:08.800 --> 01:08:15.079 Okay, right. I don't know how that represents social justice, 1156 01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:17.800 my friend. This is someone who has committed a crime, 1157 01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:21.960 and especially notably the recidivus, those who have already been 1158 01:08:22.039 --> 01:08:24.359 before a judge and been convicted on crimes. They have 1159 01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:28.800 demonstrably illustrated that they are criminals engaging in criminal behavior, 1160 01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:31.800 and the justice system has any impact on them. Because 1161 01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:35.079 they continue to do it, they represent a threat to 1162 01:08:35.439 --> 01:08:39.039 the very community that she thinks she's serving through social justice. 1163 01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:43.279 That's what your listeners have to understand. I'm not complaining 1164 01:08:43.319 --> 01:08:46.000 about somebody that picks up a theft charge or a 1165 01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:50.000 dy you not that those aren't, you know, crimes, not 1166 01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:51.800 that those aren't things that you should be put forward. 1167 01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:52.600 But I'm talking about the. 1168 01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:54.319 People that are the worst of the worst, the people 1169 01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:58.600 that are committing violent crimes over and over and over again. 1170 01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:01.479 Those are the ones that need to be held and 1171 01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:03.479 make them as they're going to make a bond, make 1172 01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:06.479 them heave an investment. Yeah, so that way we know 1173 01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:08.000 they're going to come back to court, and that's just 1174 01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:08.680 not being done. 1175 01:09:09.199 --> 01:09:12.760 Well, you know, under Prosecutor Melissa Powers, she rallied against 1176 01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:15.319 this all the time. She was outspoken on the subject. 1177 01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:17.439 She was reported in the paper she would post things 1178 01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:21.239 on her Facebook social media showing these ridiculous low to 1179 01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:26.319 no bond situations with very dangerous people. Does Connie Pilach 1180 01:09:26.399 --> 01:09:28.439 have any say on this? Has she uttered a syllable 1181 01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:30.600 about this? What you and I perceive to be problem? 1182 01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:33.920 I have not heard her say anything public about this. 1183 01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:40.520 Well, I know she's busy protesting in front of Tesla Joe. 1184 01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:43.520 I know that she's got more important things on her plate. 1185 01:09:43.560 --> 01:09:48.720 I suppose, wow, I mean, other than just bringing this 1186 01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:50.920 to our attention, is really is there anything we can 1187 01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:53.479 do about it? If she's so defiant and refuses to 1188 01:09:53.520 --> 01:09:57.680 follow Ohio law on this matter, I guess we're just 1189 01:09:57.760 --> 01:09:58.840 kind of stuck, aren't we. 1190 01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:02.920 Well, the only solution to this, if there really were 1191 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:05.119 to be a solution, it's kind of There's two options. 1192 01:10:05.199 --> 01:10:08.359 One is for the public to file complaints with the 1193 01:10:08.439 --> 01:10:11.359 Supreme Court, because that's ultimately who would hear these things? 1194 01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:13.760 Are they going to do anything about it? 1195 01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:17.560 It depends I think it's likely not just because judges 1196 01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:20.119 are given a certain not a latitude. But the only 1197 01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:22.039 true answer to be able to get rid of this 1198 01:10:22.119 --> 01:10:25.039 would be an attempt to have somebody you know, create 1199 01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:28.000 a coalition and have her recalled. I know it's been 1200 01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:31.159 done out West with mayors and other elected positions, but 1201 01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:34.720 that's really the only recourse it would be to have 1202 01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:35.359 her recalled. 1203 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:39.000 Well, that sounds like an outstanding idea under the circumstances, 1204 01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:42.960 because these are not one off things. This same judge 1205 01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:46.520 time and time and time again does exactly what we're 1206 01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:48.600 talking about here this morning, so we have a long 1207 01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:51.159 record of it, and I think that might justify a 1208 01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:54.840 recall petition. So maybe someone that the listening audience can 1209 01:10:55.239 --> 01:10:58.359 spearhead that and we might get some justice and some 1210 01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:01.159 safety for our communities, because clearly communities are in jeopardy 1211 01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:03.319 when folks like this are let out without bond, without 1212 01:11:03.319 --> 01:11:05.800 a stake in the action, and with no incentive to 1213 01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:09.720 stop their criminal activities. Well, I wish it was better 1214 01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:12.119 news from you today, but but often we have to 1215 01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:13.960 deliver the bad in order to bring about change, and 1216 01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:16.920 you've done that for my listening audience today. Ken, real 1217 01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:19.279 quick here I had a caller earlier moving over to 1218 01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:21.760 that Evendale situation. I hate to put you on the spot, 1219 01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:24.880 but under what circumstances would have been And I don't 1220 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:27.600 know if names were taken down, but one of my 1221 01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:30.039 callers earlier this morning seemed to suggest it would have 1222 01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:32.079 been a good idea for the police to gather up 1223 01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:35.479 names and identification to know who these people were. I 1224 01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:37.560 don't know, maybe some evidence of a crime. I pop 1225 01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:40.439 up later someone had video footage of someone maybe hitting 1226 01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.079 somebody on the head. Is can you do that if 1227 01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:47.000 you're not aware or have a reasonable, articulable suspicion of 1228 01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:49.560 a crime or probable cause? Are you still allowed to 1229 01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:52.319 ask for and get someone's name and write it down. 1230 01:11:53.520 --> 01:11:55.119 Well, you can ask, but they don't have to give 1231 01:11:55.159 --> 01:11:57.239 it to you unless you're investigating a crime. And I 1232 01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:58.760 know that this is a very heated topic. 1233 01:11:58.840 --> 01:11:59.039 It is. 1234 01:11:59.159 --> 01:12:01.359 I don't blame them the things that going on that 1235 01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:03.960 was absolutely ridiculous, but I do know that the police's 1236 01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:06.880 main objective in that situation, especially when you're dealing with 1237 01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:08.840 people that are armed, is to make sure no big 1238 01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:11.319 gets shot. Right, So their main objective is to make 1239 01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:14.880 sure that the people that are causing this confrontation as 1240 01:12:14.920 --> 01:12:19.039 well as the people that are you know, highly charged 1241 01:12:19.079 --> 01:12:21.479 about this and emotionally charged, and I get it. Is 1242 01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:24.680 to make sure that this ends peacefully. That's the main objective. 1243 01:12:24.840 --> 01:12:27.520 Yeah, And he did acknowledge that and give you probs for, 1244 01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:30.079 you know, de escalating. That was most the best of 1245 01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:33.159 a result that could have happened that day under the circumstances. 1246 01:12:33.239 --> 01:12:35.520 So I was just merely inquiring because I didn't I 1247 01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:37.880 don't know one way or the other, under what circumstances 1248 01:12:37.920 --> 01:12:40.119 you can get their names. You point out that they 1249 01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:42.520 don't have to give it unless there's a crime being investigated. 1250 01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:45.239 So maybe that you tried, not you specifically, maybe the 1251 01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.239 police tried and we're denied. But there was no reporting 1252 01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:50.560 one way or another on even whether that effort was 1253 01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:54.119 engaged in. So we were just merely speculating about the circumstances. 1254 01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:56.560 But I appreciate you addressing it and clearing the air 1255 01:12:56.640 --> 01:12:58.720 for can for us, Ken Coober, keep up the great 1256 01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.239 work and God bless us.

One, 1311 01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:48.279 My husband and I were at the vak's announcement last night. 1312 01:15:48.399 --> 01:15:52.359 It was amazing. His wife also spoke. You can just 1313 01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:57.520 tell they're just an authentic, energized couple that is going 1314 01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:59.600 to bring really really good things to Ohio. 1315 01:15:59.880 --> 01:16:00.720 That was very. 1316 01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:09.800 Exciting and brilliant both of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, resumes 1317 01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:12.720 are just insane. It's like, you know, having an Elon 1318 01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:15.239 Musk type of person running for government the state of Ohio. 1319 01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:18.760 That both of them are just absolutely off the charts geniuses. 1320 01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:23.039 Yeah, what a blessing it is for us to be 1321 01:16:23.399 --> 01:16:27.880 potentially claiming him. My other comment is, you were talking 1322 01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:30.399 about Children's Hospital, and I think a lot of people 1323 01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:34.920 feel like what you said about your family receiving you know, 1324 01:16:35.239 --> 01:16:39.920 amazing care, and my family has as well, But it 1325 01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:43.199 doesn't take away from from the things that they're doing 1326 01:16:43.319 --> 01:16:47.399 that are that are awful, you know, including the transgender 1327 01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:51.159 and hormone blockers. And so it's like this facade is 1328 01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:53.800 out there and they can't be touched because they're so 1329 01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:56.680 wonderful and gives such wonderful care. But on the flip side, 1330 01:16:57.760 --> 01:16:58.840 they're doing the opposite. 1331 01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.920 Well, I can't deny that, but I suppose, you know, 1332 01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:06.640 when it comes to that gender reassignment stuff, and I 1333 01:17:07.239 --> 01:17:09.359 firmly do not believe in that. I mean, the idea 1334 01:17:09.479 --> 01:17:13.279 of a young person who has not enough life experience 1335 01:17:13.399 --> 01:17:17.840 to make these life literally life changing decisions, would be 1336 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:22.119 recommended to go through this by some physician whose obligation 1337 01:17:22.239 --> 01:17:24.920 under the Hipocratic oath is to do no harm. I mean, 1338 01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:26.720 there are a lot of people who've gone through gender 1339 01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:30.039 transition that regretted it, like there's no tomorrow. I mean, 1340 01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:32.159 they're out there screaming and yelling, but please do not 1341 01:17:32.399 --> 01:17:35.079 do this. I was young, I was uninformed, I was 1342 01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:38.239 steered in that direction by physicians. They have an obvious 1343 01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:40.600 profit motive to do that, right, I mean that and 1344 01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:46.960 loan should taint the whole thing. But you know what 1345 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:47.520 I'm saying. 1346 01:17:48.760 --> 01:17:51.399 Yeah, And I don't know if anybody, your callers or 1347 01:17:51.479 --> 01:17:54.880 your listeners rather know about the story in Texas, who 1348 01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:58.119 has the largest children's hospital, they had a doctor to 1349 01:17:58.239 --> 01:18:01.159 come out and being a whistleblow because they were saying 1350 01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:05.720 that they had stopped all of the gender care and 1351 01:18:05.880 --> 01:18:11.159 they hadn't. And he actually had charges, bogus charges brought 1352 01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:14.800 against him about some kind of data breach, which actually 1353 01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:18.000 those charges were dropped a few weeks ago. But I mean, 1354 01:18:18.039 --> 01:18:20.760 I think, you know, like like you were talking about 1355 01:18:20.760 --> 01:18:24.560 Melissa Powers being defiant, I think these hospitals are are 1356 01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:26.880 going to be defiant with this as these new laws 1357 01:18:26.960 --> 01:18:30.960 come down, and it's going to take somebody braids to 1358 01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:35.079 step out and speak against it that's within the system. 1359 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:38.319 Well, or a prosecutor if they're violating the law by 1360 01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:41.359 engaging in these gender transitions for people under the age 1361 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:43.720 of whatever the law in any given state says, then 1362 01:18:44.119 --> 01:18:46.039 they could be prosecuted for doing it. It only takes 1363 01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:47.800 one person to come out and say no, they're doing 1364 01:18:47.840 --> 01:18:50.079 it to me, or some family to step up and 1365 01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:51.760 say no, they recommended to send us over to the 1366 01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:54.359 gender transition department, and I guess they're still doing it 1367 01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:59.079 and then be subjected to the state law. There's hope 1368 01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:02.159 built into the equation right there, and I just like 1369 01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:06.800 to think that hopefully in some near future point, some 1370 01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:09.680 point in the near future will reflect back on this 1371 01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:15.560 like other European countries have, that this is not proper, 1372 01:19:16.039 --> 01:19:19.920 that this is not something that is positive for young people, 1373 01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:25.239 that counseling is the direction to go, and that's what 1374 01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:27.960 was the norm for so long. If someone was of 1375 01:19:28.199 --> 01:19:31.479 the mind that they were actually the opposite sex, then 1376 01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:34.560 they would sit them down on the psychiatrist's couch or 1377 01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:37.479 the psychologist's couch or the counselor's couch, and they'd walk 1378 01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:41.119 through that and talk to them about the reality of life. 1379 01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:46.000 And that merely by cutting something off or sewing something on, 1380 01:19:46.079 --> 01:19:48.239 if you go all the way down that path, it 1381 01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:53.359 simply does not change your biological reality. You merely have 1382 01:19:53.479 --> 01:19:57.640 a physical outward physical change, and that you will not 1383 01:19:58.039 --> 01:20:01.560 get the enjoyment of let's just say it out loud, 1384 01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:08.399 sex enjoyment with a false you know, genital there are 1385 01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:13.760 multiple complications that go along with it. It's just not 1386 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:20.359 the same. I can accept someone of that mindset. I 1387 01:20:20.439 --> 01:20:23.479 mentioned previously dated and anorexic girl a long time ago, 1388 01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:25.760 and you know, that's just what she was. And you 1389 01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:28.399 know she looked in the mirror and believed that there 1390 01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:30.720 was a fat person right there. That's what she saw. 1391 01:20:31.439 --> 01:20:38.840 That's a reality, even though she wasn't. So that's where 1392 01:20:38.840 --> 01:20:41.560 we need. We will live with people like that. We 1393 01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:42.960 like to hope for the better, and we like to 1394 01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:46.199 hope the counseling and education and training can work them 1395 01:20:46.239 --> 01:20:48.600 through these problems. But you know, if you want to 1396 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:52.319 be a go through life believing that you are someone else, 1397 01:20:52.439 --> 01:20:55.840 I have no problem with that. My problem is it's 1398 01:20:55.880 --> 01:21:00.840 the harm that it's doing two really young people get 1399 01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:04.600 through eighteen years of life at least before you make 1400 01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:09.560 a life altering decision like that. Don't take that decision 1401 01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:11.840 making out of the hands of parents. Parents need to 1402 01:21:11.880 --> 01:21:16.359 be thoroughly engaged in this process. They're there to protect 1403 01:21:16.600 --> 01:21:20.800 their young person, and maybe some people out my listening 1404 01:21:20.840 --> 01:21:23.000 to audience no One, someone who's been this way and said, 1405 01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:28.319 you know, no what, actually I'm not peer pressure pushed 1406 01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:31.920 them into making this this change. Yes I'm actually a 1407 01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:36.560 woman when no, no, no no, I outgrew that. That's 1408 01:21:36.600 --> 01:21:38.640 the thing. The more life experience you have, the more 1409 01:21:38.680 --> 01:21:42.600 you can practically evaluate situations and make informed decisions on 1410 01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:43.159 your own. 1411 01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:43.560 Behalf. 1412 01:21:44.119 --> 01:21:45.960 I don't really truly believe an eight year old is 1413 01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:47.479 in a position to do that. Six p. Fifty seven 1414 01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:49.840 fifty five cares to the Talk station The special Big 1415 01:21:49.880 --> 01:21:53.319 Picture with Jack atherden Is Trump Kaludi with putin Jack 1416 01:21:53.399 --> 01:21:54.199 Atherden Up. 1417 01:21:54.279 --> 01:21:58.640 Next, news happens fast, stay up to date at the 1418 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:00.960 top of the hour, moving very quickly. 1419 01:22:01.239 --> 01:22:07.000 Fifty five KRC the Talk Station and very happy Tuesday 1420 01:22:07.079 --> 01:22:09.760 to you. Extra special as always of this time we 1421 01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:13.640 get to hear from our good friend, brilliant historian, lawyer, 1422 01:22:14.680 --> 01:22:18.960 former anchorman and author, Jack Atherton. Always a pleasure to 1423 01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:20.920 have you on my program, Jack, and enjoyed having you 1424 01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:23.119 and your beautiful wife Ames over for dinner this past 1425 01:22:23.159 --> 01:22:23.800 Saturday night. 1426 01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:25.439 Wasn't that fun? 1427 01:22:25.600 --> 01:22:25.720 Oh? 1428 01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.479 Agree Weather, I'm feeling great today because as Francis. President 1429 01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:33.680 Macrome just said at the White House we could be 1430 01:22:33.800 --> 01:22:37.960 on the verge of lasting peace in Ukraine thanks to 1431 01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:43.279 Donald Trump. That's what macrohme said. Maybe, just maybe, Brian, 1432 01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:45.560 the rest of the world doesn't want Trump to get 1433 01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:50.079 credit for that. So the UN chose yesterday to condemn Russia, 1434 01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:54.760 a resolution the US opposed, along with Israel, which has 1435 01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:57.680 been condemned by the UN itself more than one hundred 1436 01:22:57.680 --> 01:23:03.119 and ninety times. Actually, eighteen nations supposed yesterday's resolution, and 1437 01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:07.439 the news isn't telling you this. Sixty five nations abstained. 1438 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:12.720 Yet all we hear about is Trump. But Brian, who cares. 1439 01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:17.600 The last time the anti American UN seem relevant to 1440 01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:20.760 me was when I was a kid collecting coins for 1441 01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:22.640 UNISEF at Halloween. 1442 01:23:23.039 --> 01:23:23.880 Did you do that too? 1443 01:23:24.159 --> 01:23:24.199 No? 1444 01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:25.840 I did not participate it. 1445 01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:27.159 You always hated the UN? 1446 01:23:27.760 --> 01:23:28.520 Yeah, pretty much. 1447 01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:33.640 Look, what does matter is that after Trump reaches a deal, 1448 01:23:34.159 --> 01:23:38.800 Europe now wants to place peacekeeping forces inside Ukraine like 1449 01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:41.319 the ones we've had in South Korea for seventy years. 1450 01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:45.039 And instead of giving Ukraine a blank check to continue 1451 01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:48.520 with three year bloody stalemate, Trump wants the US to 1452 01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:52.399 invest in Ukraine's rare earth minerals to give us a 1453 01:23:52.520 --> 01:23:58.199 stake in a peaceful future. So peace at last, not 1454 01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:03.520 for Democrats. Voters have rejected every single one of their policies, 1455 01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:08.319 from open borders to inflationary waste. Democrats are now replaying 1456 01:24:08.840 --> 01:24:13.520 their greatest hit, Russia. Russia, Russia, the lie that Donald 1457 01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:17.680 Trump is colluding with Vladimir Putin. That lie led to 1458 01:24:17.800 --> 01:24:21.239 a two year probe by Special Council Robert Muller that 1459 01:24:21.399 --> 01:24:25.399 uncovered nothing because there was nothing to uncover, and the 1460 01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:29.239 Russia lie led to a failed impeachment that exposed our 1461 01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:36.119 own intelligence agencies, including the corrupt FBI. Yet Democrats are 1462 01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:39.680 trotting out Russia once again because Donald Trump wants to 1463 01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:44.000 end the slaughter in Ukraine and pressure both Zelensky and 1464 01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:51.039 Putin to accept reality. Brian, what is that reality? We 1465 01:24:51.199 --> 01:24:54.359 do history, friends, So let's go back to World War II. 1466 01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:57.319 At the end of the war, Franklin Roosevelt at the 1467 01:24:57.399 --> 01:25:02.680 Yolta Conference gave Stalin a free pass to annex eastern Europe. 1468 01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:06.680 Three hundred million people lived behind the Iron Curtain for 1469 01:25:06.760 --> 01:25:12.880 the next fifty years, including Ukrainians. Harry Truman finally stood 1470 01:25:12.960 --> 01:25:16.680 up to Stalin, and the Cold War turned scorching hot 1471 01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:21.119 for American soldiers in Korea and Vietnam. The Cold War 1472 01:25:21.239 --> 01:25:25.359 only ended when Ronald Reagan ramped up to torrence in 1473 01:25:25.520 --> 01:25:29.920 Europe with medium range ballistic missiles and a Strategic Defense 1474 01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:36.479 Initiative SDI, which Democrats attacked. Reagan's peaceful deterrence led to 1475 01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:39.640 something no one expected to see in our lifetime, the 1476 01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:44.319 collapse of the Soviet Union. One consequence of that collapse 1477 01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:48.800 was that Ukraine became the world's third biggest nuclear power, 1478 01:25:49.279 --> 01:25:53.960 thanks to weapons that the USSR left behind after nineteen 1479 01:25:54.039 --> 01:25:58.319 ninety one. You didn't mess with Ukraine until Bill Clinton 1480 01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:04.439 and Russia to defend Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine's surrendering 1481 01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:05.119 their nukes. 1482 01:26:05.640 --> 01:26:06.520 Where did that lead? 1483 01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:11.600 In twenty fourteen, Vladimir Putin seized Ukraine's key port Crimea, 1484 01:26:12.159 --> 01:26:18.239 and Barack Obama, in response sent Ukraine blankets. Wait, it 1485 01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:22.399 gets worse. In twenty twenty two, Joe Biden said he 1486 01:26:22.520 --> 01:26:27.359 could live with Russia launching quote a minor incursion. Biden 1487 01:26:27.359 --> 01:26:31.279 appeared to be inviting Putin to seize Ukraine's eastern pro 1488 01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:35.840 Russian territories. What's called the Dunbass region that Putin now 1489 01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:41.159 controls Now Biden had already declared war, not on Russia, 1490 01:26:41.199 --> 01:26:46.159 not on anything. On Trump's energy independence that drove up 1491 01:26:46.199 --> 01:26:49.600 the value of Putin's oil and natural gas. Sky high 1492 01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:54.680 energy prices financed Putin's invasion, as well as Iran's funding 1493 01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:58.720 off hamas Hesbola and Huthi terrorists. Neither Putin nor the 1494 01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:02.720 Ayatola's inspected Biden because they had seen the cowardly way 1495 01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:06.680 he betrayed our allies and our soldiers in Afghanistan. The 1496 01:27:06.880 --> 01:27:10.439 upshot is that Putin not only invaded eastern Ukraine, he 1497 01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:15.359 tried taking Kiev and the entire country. Biden responded by 1498 01:27:15.439 --> 01:27:19.600 giving Ukraine just enough arms and money to keep this 1499 01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:24.840 war going indefinitely, all to the benefit of America's bloated 1500 01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:30.479 military industrial complex. This Brian is what Trump inherited. A 1501 01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:34.920 million casualties, a country that looks like Hiroshima, and no 1502 01:27:35.199 --> 01:27:38.880 end in sight to the fighting. So Trump is now 1503 01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:42.359 working to once again bring down the price of oil 1504 01:27:42.439 --> 01:27:45.760 and gas. You talked before about the Keystone Excel pipeline 1505 01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:49.760 that Obama and Biden tried to end, Well, Trump is 1506 01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:53.600 going to bring it back. That will choke off Putin's revenue. Meantime, 1507 01:27:54.479 --> 01:27:57.880 the quickest and most human way to end this war 1508 01:27:58.319 --> 01:28:01.479 is to do let's go way. We should do what 1509 01:28:01.680 --> 01:28:05.279 Teddy Roosevelt did during the Russian Japanese War in nineteen 1510 01:28:05.359 --> 01:28:10.159 oh five. Negotiate a deal, not a perfect deal. There 1511 01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:13.720 is no perfect deal to be had. Zelenski wants not 1512 01:28:13.880 --> 01:28:17.199 only the land that Biden surrendered, he also wants the 1513 01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:21.279 port that Obama surrendered. You can't blame him, but look, 1514 01:28:21.640 --> 01:28:25.000 Putin is a villain, but he is the villain now 1515 01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:28.039 holding most of the cards because in a war of attrition, 1516 01:28:28.239 --> 01:28:32.640 Putin can keep sacrificing his vastly bigger armed forces, not 1517 01:28:32.800 --> 01:28:36.039 to mention Korean forces that are joining him, and Putin 1518 01:28:36.079 --> 01:28:39.800 can threaten a nuclear attack. Putin is demanding to keep 1519 01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:44.319 those eastern territories that are pro Russian. Is this fair No, 1520 01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:49.520 But as Jimmy Carter said, life is not fair. Heroic 1521 01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:53.119 Ukraine cannot get all at once without the US going 1522 01:28:53.159 --> 01:28:57.079 to war, a world war with Russia. So in this stalemate, 1523 01:28:57.640 --> 01:29:01.000 Trump is trying to save lives on both sides, and 1524 01:29:01.199 --> 01:29:05.560 he wants American taxpayers to quit financing a ruinous war 1525 01:29:05.680 --> 01:29:09.119 that never would have started had Trump remained president in 1526 01:29:09.199 --> 01:29:13.199 twenty twenty one. Putin did not seize a single acre 1527 01:29:13.319 --> 01:29:17.399 of land during Trump's first term. One last thing, Brian, 1528 01:29:18.079 --> 01:29:22.560 the left is now squealing about Zelensky being insulted because 1529 01:29:22.600 --> 01:29:26.880 Trump talked to Putin first, folks. That's the way Trump operates. 1530 01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:31.079 He's not looking to copy Vietnam's Paris peace talks, where 1531 01:29:31.079 --> 01:29:33.399 it took months to decide on the shape of the 1532 01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:38.479 table and we still wound up evacuating from Saigon in helicopters. Yes, 1533 01:29:38.680 --> 01:29:42.199 Trump knows Putin started this war after getting a green 1534 01:29:42.319 --> 01:29:46.399 light from Biden. The reality now is that Trump is 1535 01:29:46.479 --> 01:29:50.920 looking for concessions that both sides can live with. Peace 1536 01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:55.239 is in side, Brian, Let's not be blinded by never Trumper's. 1537 01:29:55.840 --> 01:29:58.520 Yeah, excellent analysis, Jack, And as always, you do a 1538 01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:02.159 wonderful job incorporating history to get to the point you're making. 1539 01:30:02.319 --> 01:30:04.439 It's just a brilliant, brilliant thing you do, and my 1540 01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:07.600 listeners thoroughly appreciate it, as do I, and can I 1541 01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:10.359 ask you wasn't one of the reasons the Soviet Union 1542 01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:13.680 collapse is because it was so economically backward, and because, 1543 01:30:13.680 --> 01:30:16.960 of course the structure of the country and the political 1544 01:30:17.000 --> 01:30:19.399 philosophy of the country, but also backward in so many 1545 01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:23.159 other ways. But because they couldn't keep up with the 1546 01:30:23.359 --> 01:30:27.239 arms race, they couldn't keep up with the militarization of 1547 01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:29.960 the NATO countries. He mentioned about Ronald Reagan placing the 1548 01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:34.000 strategic missiles there and that that led to their economic collapse. 1549 01:30:35.039 --> 01:30:38.039 Look what's going on right now. Trump is pushing the 1550 01:30:38.159 --> 01:30:41.680 NATO countries to come up to their two percent obligation 1551 01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:45.840 on military spending, and many of them have, including France. 1552 01:30:46.319 --> 01:30:48.439 Trump now wants them to go up to five percent 1553 01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:50.920 to help pay for this war and the peacekeeping and 1554 01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:53.560 all the rest. What is Russia pay at this point 1555 01:30:54.199 --> 01:30:57.039 ten percent? And of course China is paying even more 1556 01:30:57.079 --> 01:30:59.640 than that. Yeah, they tried to keep up with us. 1557 01:31:00.039 --> 01:31:03.600 Why Ronald Reagan was brilliant enough to realize, let's start 1558 01:31:03.680 --> 01:31:07.359 a whole different kind of defense that Russia will feel 1559 01:31:07.439 --> 01:31:10.920 threatened by. But what was not threatening SDI what the 1560 01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:15.000 Democrats called Star Wars, was a defense mechanism like Israel's 1561 01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:17.640 Iron Dome. But Russia couldn't keep up with that, and 1562 01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:19.880 they had all kinds of other problems. Their economy was 1563 01:31:19.920 --> 01:31:22.600 a mess. It was you waited online six hours to 1564 01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:26.000 get a pair of shoes that didn't fit well. 1565 01:31:26.079 --> 01:31:29.239 And I also noticed there was a headline and can't 1566 01:31:29.319 --> 01:31:32.399 recall which news outlet. I wouldn't have printed it if 1567 01:31:32.439 --> 01:31:36.600 it wasn't at least a justifiable, reliable news outlet. But next, 1568 01:31:36.640 --> 01:31:39.520 German Chancellor of Frederick Murray, harshly criticized as Trump and 1569 01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:43.439 must says NATO could be finished soon, calls for quote 1570 01:31:43.600 --> 01:31:48.199 independent European defense capabilities. And I'm thinking to myself, you know, 1571 01:31:48.319 --> 01:31:51.600 part of my comment about Russia going bankrupt basically and 1572 01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:54.720 falling because of the arms race. We spend eight hundred 1573 01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:57.079 and fifty billion dollars a year on arms and that's 1574 01:31:57.199 --> 01:32:01.119 breaking our bank literally. Now if this maybe, I don't 1575 01:32:01.119 --> 01:32:03.520 think we're necessarily going to break with NATO. But if 1576 01:32:03.560 --> 01:32:06.880 they are going to start arming themselves and creating their 1577 01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:10.159 own defense capabilities, isn't that something they should have been 1578 01:32:10.199 --> 01:32:13.119 doing all along? They've been kicking back and let us 1579 01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.479 become the police force of the world and spending the 1580 01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:17.399 money that they would otherwise spend on their own defense 1581 01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:19.199 on their own countries elsewhere. 1582 01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:23.520 The price that we paid for winning World War Two 1583 01:32:24.119 --> 01:32:25.800 is that we consider the rest of the world to 1584 01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:29.079 be dependent on us. We're the greatest nation in the 1585 01:32:29.239 --> 01:32:31.439 history of the world, and one of the greatest moments 1586 01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:34.239 in our history. We've often talked about this was the 1587 01:32:34.319 --> 01:32:38.000 Marshall Plan in Europe and the reconstruction of Japan after 1588 01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:41.279 we help them come up with a democratic constitution. Yes, 1589 01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:45.760 Europe is no longer a dependent body of land. They're 1590 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:50.159 no longer at the EU or NATO needing to feed 1591 01:32:50.239 --> 01:32:52.800 off of the United States to hide behind us for 1592 01:32:52.920 --> 01:32:56.319 their protection. Absolutely, does that mean that we break with NATO. 1593 01:32:56.760 --> 01:32:59.079 Macrone wasn't talking about that. I mean, it was a 1594 01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:03.279 LoveFest yesterday with it was so Yeah, it's not gonna happen. 1595 01:33:03.399 --> 01:33:06.119 But by all means Europe should be paid for more 1596 01:33:06.199 --> 01:33:08.960 of this defense. After all, the money that Europe is 1597 01:33:09.000 --> 01:33:12.880 saving by not spending on defense is going toward socialism. 1598 01:33:13.319 --> 01:33:14.680 Who needs to subsidize that? 1599 01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:20.920 I know, Well, the socialists need the subsidization because socialism 1600 01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:21.680 doesn't work. 1601 01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:26.119 Our democrats, I mean, that's what they want us to 1602 01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:29.279 spend all of our money on, and the money that 1603 01:33:29.399 --> 01:33:30.680 we haven't had for decades. 1604 01:33:31.239 --> 01:33:33.920 Well, and one more point I think I need to 1605 01:33:33.960 --> 01:33:38.560 make is in terms of energy policy. I mean, Europe's 1606 01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:41.720 kneecapped itself. They pursued this green agenda for so long 1607 01:33:41.800 --> 01:33:44.359 they've cut off all of their own resources. They refuse 1608 01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:47.039 to tap into resources. They think they can rely on 1609 01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:50.800 windmills and solar panels. Germany most notably doesn't have any 1610 01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:52.880 of its own power, which means they have to rely 1611 01:33:53.039 --> 01:33:56.279 on what energy bought from Russia. As I understand it, 1612 01:33:57.680 --> 01:34:00.119 let's see here that help of. 1613 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:02.279 The reasons that World War two started was that Hitler 1614 01:34:02.439 --> 01:34:05.920 was looking for coal. But mers is not as bad 1615 01:34:06.199 --> 01:34:08.920 as Angelo and Mercyl. Oh, now what they've had since then. 1616 01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:12.960 He is somewhat conservative. He is having a partner up 1617 01:34:12.960 --> 01:34:16.039 with even more conservative people, and he's talking about ending 1618 01:34:16.119 --> 01:34:20.479 the illegal immigration and looking for energy independence, and by 1619 01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:23.279 all means, let him spend some money to defend himself. 1620 01:34:23.920 --> 01:34:26.680 Jack Edenan is always just such a joy and pleasure, 1621 01:34:26.840 --> 01:34:29.520 and to have you on the program every week again, 1622 01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:33.159 appreciate your thoughtful analysis, very insightful it always is.

I think he's just an absolutely outstanding candidate. 1652 01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:06.520 Daniel Davis Deep Dive at eight thirty. He also will 1653 01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:08.560 be talking about an end of the Russia Ukraine conflict 1654 01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:11.000 and the other other component of IS And I know 1655 01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:14.199 Jack alluded to it, but Trump's talking with Putin not 1656 01:36:14.439 --> 01:36:16.800 just about trying to end the conflict, which is a 1657 01:36:16.920 --> 01:36:22.119 really important thing, but engaging and getting involved economically with 1658 01:36:22.199 --> 01:36:25.640 the United States and Russia because they've got stuff we want. 1659 01:36:25.760 --> 01:36:28.479 Russia obviously wants to improve its economy. I think they'd 1660 01:36:28.520 --> 01:36:32.640 be happy to sell stuff they've got to us to 1661 01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:35.960 improve their economy, and that would allow us to get 1662 01:36:36.039 --> 01:36:39.279 access to Russia's natural resources, you know, rare earth minerals 1663 01:36:39.319 --> 01:36:41.319 and whatever else they have, and not have to rely 1664 01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:44.960 on China for such things. And maybe an improvement of 1665 01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:48.840 relations between Russia and the United States might tear away 1666 01:36:49.199 --> 01:36:52.840 Russia from its you know, cuddling up to China. And 1667 01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:55.479 of course the situation Ukraine between Russia and Ukraine, with 1668 01:36:55.560 --> 01:36:58.479 US being the lead agitator by providing all the weapons 1669 01:36:58.520 --> 01:37:03.000 of Ukraine them into each other's arms. We've seen that 1670 01:37:03.119 --> 01:37:05.239 relationship develop over the years, because you know, you go 1671 01:37:05.319 --> 01:37:07.840 back to the Cold War era, so the Chinese and 1672 01:37:07.840 --> 01:37:10.680 the Russians didn't play along nicely at all. And I 1673 01:37:10.720 --> 01:37:12.479 think that may have been mixed one of the reasons. 1674 01:37:12.600 --> 01:37:15.000 And here I am speculating, but it seems logical that 1675 01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:17.399 that may have been one of the reasons Nixon reached 1676 01:37:17.479 --> 01:37:22.000 out to and opened up trade with China. That obviously 1677 01:37:22.079 --> 01:37:25.920 had a delitious effect on Russia. And of course our 1678 01:37:25.960 --> 01:37:29.279 effort was hopefully that they would ultimately become a capitalist 1679 01:37:29.399 --> 01:37:32.279 nation rather than the communist regime that they are by 1680 01:37:32.560 --> 01:37:36.239 improving their lives and their economy through freer trade, their 1681 01:37:36.319 --> 01:37:38.800 lives would improve, and maybe they would get away from communism. 1682 01:37:38.880 --> 01:37:46.079 Clearly that's not what happened, gentlemen, square happened. But if 1683 01:37:46.119 --> 01:37:49.199 we could engage in open trade with Russia, I think 1684 01:37:49.239 --> 01:37:51.359 that would near to everyone's benefit. He's also trying to 1685 01:37:51.439 --> 01:37:55.399 negotiate a similar agreement with Ukraine. Ukraine's got natural resources 1686 01:37:55.479 --> 01:37:58.840 that we want, we would obviously have to extract them 1687 01:37:58.920 --> 01:38:00.640 and buy them. I don't think we're going to get 1688 01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:07.239 him for free. So seemingly valuable infusion of industry and 1689 01:38:07.399 --> 01:38:11.199 capital into Ukraine through whatever's going to happen to have 1690 01:38:11.279 --> 01:38:14.479 to happen to in order to extract these precious resources. 1691 01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:17.399 That sounds to me like something would help Ukraine build. 1692 01:38:18.159 --> 01:38:19.600 And the other thing we can't lose sight of, and 1693 01:38:19.640 --> 01:38:21.720 it's something we talk about with Daniel Davis all the time. 1694 01:38:22.039 --> 01:38:25.760 You know, the folks in Crimea, they're pro Russia. And 1695 01:38:25.840 --> 01:38:28.439 of course, as Jack was talking, I was thinking about 1696 01:38:28.479 --> 01:38:31.800 all those counties in southern Illinois that want to break 1697 01:38:31.880 --> 01:38:37.479 away and join Indiana, or the giant chunk of California 1698 01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:39.319 that wants to break away and form its own safe 1699 01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:43.479 They're held hostage by an administration and a state whose 1700 01:38:43.560 --> 01:38:50.600 policies they have utter disdain for. So I try to 1701 01:38:50.640 --> 01:38:56.039 be objective on this, but the Democrats really just it's 1702 01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:58.800 sort of turned into the reverse of the way we 1703 01:38:58.920 --> 01:39:03.039 were with the Soviet Union. Democrats always objected everything Reagan 1704 01:39:03.119 --> 01:39:07.960 did in defiance of the Soviet Union, and you know, 1705 01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:10.920 we always looked at them as these capitulation and oh 1706 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:14.840 my god, you're caving to the Soviet Union. So now 1707 01:39:14.920 --> 01:39:18.640 we're the flip side. Now, world's a weird place, you know, 1708 01:39:18.720 --> 01:39:20.840 passage of a couple of decades just flips things on 1709 01:39:20.920 --> 01:39:22.720 top of its head. But I'm trying to be, you know, 1710 01:39:22.840 --> 01:39:25.000 sort of neutral in my analysis on all this, and 1711 01:39:25.520 --> 01:39:27.800 it just seems to me, in the grand scheme of things, 1712 01:39:27.840 --> 01:39:30.600 if we weren't in an arms race with the Russians 1713 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:33.760 as well as the Chinese, that might inhar to our 1714 01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:36.880 benefits substantially as well. And Russia apparently has a lot 1715 01:39:36.920 --> 01:39:39.920 of uranium. There's another thing. We got quite a few 1716 01:39:39.920 --> 01:39:41.960 callers online. I will stop right now and shut my 1717 01:39:42.079 --> 01:39:43.800 mouth at seven twenty seven. You get to the callers 1718 01:39:43.840 --> 01:39:46.560 as soon as I come back.

And I knew inflation was bad, but when 1772 01:42:28.119 --> 01:42:31.079 free goes to three hundred million, uh, that's a lot. 1773 01:42:31.520 --> 01:42:35.399 And this is at a time when everybody's property taxes. 1774 01:42:35.479 --> 01:42:39.960 Remember seventy percent of your property taxes school tax is 1775 01:42:40.039 --> 01:42:42.880 Bill Blessing and people like him continue to put three 1776 01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:46.239 hundred million trunk at a time into school, your property 1777 01:42:46.279 --> 01:42:48.680 tax are going to keep going up.

I would love to 1794 01:43:41.399 --> 01:43:43.680 have Bill Blessing come on explain to the listening audience 1795 01:43:43.760 --> 01:43:45.399 how it is he thinks that we can afford this 1796 01:43:45.560 --> 01:43:47.399 because he thought it was just a perfect idea. 1797 01:43:48.520 --> 01:43:51.079 I appreciate your calls very much, Jay, You're always on 1798 01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:55.119 top of things, and yeah, I'll echo your recommendations. The 1799 01:43:55.159 --> 01:43:56.680 best thing to do is get in touch with your 1800 01:43:56.720 --> 01:44:00.439 elected official on so many issues. Because Jay's right, hardly 1801 01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:04.239 hear from anybody. They get ten calls on one subject 1802 01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:07.439 matter of a week. That's like a statistical sampling of 1803 01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:10.720 how the constituents feel and they do take it seriously 1804 01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:13.239 from time to time. Becky, Welcome to the Morning Show. 1805 01:44:13.279 --> 01:44:17.800 Thanks for calling. Good Morning Morning, Becky. 1806 01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:19.520 Hi. 1807 01:44:20.039 --> 01:44:24.159 I wanted to give a perspective about unrecognizance bond. Several 1808 01:44:24.279 --> 01:44:26.880 years ago. I worked for Hampton County at the Justice 1809 01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:29.840 Center and it was my job to be sure our 1810 01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:30.600 people got. 1811 01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:31.119 Back to court. 1812 01:44:32.119 --> 01:44:35.520 And the system that was used then was based on 1813 01:44:35.600 --> 01:44:39.359 the VIA scale and it was all about the likelihood 1814 01:44:39.359 --> 01:44:42.600 of somebody returning to court and the safety of the community. 1815 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:45.319 We need to get back to that today. There was 1816 01:44:45.399 --> 01:44:47.680 a wonderful tool that was used by those of us 1817 01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:51.319 in pre trial services and we went through and you 1818 01:44:51.479 --> 01:44:52.800 had to reach a certain. 1819 01:44:52.640 --> 01:44:54.319 Score to qualify for o R. 1820 01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:57.399 If the judge chose to give your even if you 1821 01:44:57.439 --> 01:45:02.640 didn't qualify, then our agency, my job was to try 1822 01:45:02.720 --> 01:45:04.680 to keep you out of trouble and get you back 1823 01:45:04.720 --> 01:45:05.119 to court. 1824 01:45:06.680 --> 01:45:09.399 Well, and that sounds like what the current law requires. 1825 01:45:09.560 --> 01:45:12.800 If you represent a potential flight risk, that's a factor 1826 01:45:12.840 --> 01:45:15.760 they're supposed to take into consideration when establishing the bond rate. 1827 01:45:16.039 --> 01:45:18.439 But also community safety is something that most of the 1828 01:45:18.560 --> 01:45:21.359 liberal judges were ignoring, but that's now been codified into 1829 01:45:21.439 --> 01:45:25.479 law that they're entitled to and should take into consideration 1830 01:45:25.640 --> 01:45:27.479 the safety of the community when considering what. 1831 01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:28.039 The bond is. 1832 01:45:29.119 --> 01:45:32.079 So get it correct. Going back to the old ways 1833 01:45:32.119 --> 01:45:34.279 are the best ways sometimes, right, Becky. 1834 01:45:35.439 --> 01:45:37.960 Yes, I agree. Figure out what to do about these 1835 01:45:38.079 --> 01:45:41.239 Maverick judges who are taking this into their own hands. 1836 01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:44.760 Well, and you know there may be ethics violations or 1837 01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:48.920 judicial canon violations that judge I guess at soular esteem 1838 01:45:49.039 --> 01:45:52.359 might be subjected to, or as someone suggested earlier, perhaps 1839 01:45:52.439 --> 01:45:55.560 a recall petition because apparently she's the biggest offender when 1840 01:45:55.600 --> 01:45:58.520 it comes to letting very very dangerous people out on 1841 01:45:58.720 --> 01:46:02.119 unrecognizance bonds or very very low bonds. Thank you very 1842 01:46:02.199 --> 01:46:05.399 much for the callback. I appreciate you listening in, chiming in, Jeff, 1843 01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:07.039 I want to talk to you, but you're gonna have 1844 01:46:07.079 --> 01:46:08.479 to take a hold here for a moment if you 1845 01:46:08.479 --> 01:46:11.479 don't mind. It's seven thirty six and I want to 1846 01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:15.600 strongly recommended Bud Herbert Motors and Butt Herbert Motors. They 1847 01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:19.680 are the absolute best. You know, it's the multi generation. 1848 01:46:19.800 --> 01:46:21.720 You're gonna be working with the Herbert family members and 1849 01:46:22.039 --> 01:46:24.399 you know, Bud Herbert Motors old motto was, you know, 1850 01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:27.640 the most expensive tool or piece of lawn equipment you're 1851 01:46:27.680 --> 01:46:31.079 gonna buys is a cheap one. And that's true because 1852 01:46:31.119 --> 01:46:33.199 they're not gonna last. You don't want that to happen. 1853 01:46:33.319 --> 01:46:35.800 Last lawnmore. I bought, of course, from Bud Herbert Motors 1854 01:46:35.840 --> 01:46:37.840 after a terrible experience at the box store where you're 1855 01:46:37.920 --> 01:46:40.399 not gonna be working with an owner. You're not gonna 1856 01:46:40.399 --> 01:46:42.479 be working with someone with all the knowledge and experience 1857 01:46:42.520 --> 01:46:44.840 that they have the best customer service in the business. 1858 01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:46.399 You're gonna be working with some regular, run of the 1859 01:46:46.439 --> 01:46:48.920 mill employee. And that's not to be criticizing that employee, 1860 01:46:49.000 --> 01:46:50.760 but you want to work with the right folks, and 1861 01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:53.720 the folks that sell the finest lawn equipment out there. 1862 01:46:54.199 --> 01:46:56.880 Get ready for spring.

And 1867 01:47:09.720 --> 01:47:12.520 I was told by the Herberts the last lawnmower you'll 1868 01:47:12.560 --> 01:47:15.079 ever have to buy. So I got decades ahead of 1869 01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:17.000 me pushing that thing around the yard.

Always great hearing from you. 1903 01:49:00.000 --> 01:49:02.640 Good morning, Brian, you are a true you and Joe 1904 01:49:02.640 --> 01:49:03.560 are a true patriot. 1905 01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:05.880 Ashould say, thanks, man, I always appreciate hearing that. 1906 01:49:07.279 --> 01:49:11.399 Yeah, you'll have to well it's not an important thing, 1907 01:49:11.520 --> 01:49:14.399 but you'll have to ask Evec if he if he's 1908 01:49:14.399 --> 01:49:15.800 ever looked into the street car. 1909 01:49:16.039 --> 01:49:21.760 So anyway, well, he's a native of Cincinnati. I'm sure 1910 01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:24.359 he knows all about it. And knowing him the way 1911 01:49:24.439 --> 01:49:27.239 I know him from his writings and his speeches and 1912 01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:30.560 his philosophy. Probably not a fan. 1913 01:49:31.840 --> 01:49:32.359 Right right. 1914 01:49:32.840 --> 01:49:34.720 Well, what I was whatting to talk to you about, 1915 01:49:34.840 --> 01:49:37.800 was you hit the nail right on the head with 1916 01:49:38.720 --> 01:49:42.439 just one of the many reasons this last war was 1917 01:49:42.520 --> 01:49:46.399 so horrible, not just everybody making money off of it. 1918 01:49:46.520 --> 01:49:50.560 But you know, when you can't trust Pudin of course, 1919 01:49:50.640 --> 01:49:53.920 but he made a lot of common sense things when 1920 01:49:53.920 --> 01:49:59.560 he talked to Tucker, because he said that, you know, 1921 01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:04.640 after the Cold War, they were all expecting us to 1922 01:50:05.840 --> 01:50:09.000 accept them with open arms and thus make a ton 1923 01:50:09.079 --> 01:50:11.279 of money. I mean, he said, there was no reason 1924 01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:15.279 for all of these leaders in the Communist Party to 1925 01:50:17.199 --> 01:50:20.239 do all the peace talk type stuff that they did 1926 01:50:20.520 --> 01:50:24.000 after the Cold War, and also to have us send 1927 01:50:24.159 --> 01:50:29.399 over our FBI, our logistics people, all these people that 1928 01:50:29.600 --> 01:50:35.640 help them get their country back on to a more 1929 01:50:35.680 --> 01:50:40.039 of a democratic situation, and then we all just pulled 1930 01:50:40.119 --> 01:50:42.159 out for some reason. I don't think you or I 1931 01:50:42.399 --> 01:50:46.479 or anybody else was told why. And he said, you know, 1932 01:50:47.039 --> 01:50:51.479 even you know, he just didn't understand why they didn't 1933 01:50:51.520 --> 01:50:54.680 become our next big friends like we seem to always 1934 01:50:54.760 --> 01:50:58.039 do in history. Whenever we defeat an enemy, we turn 1935 01:50:58.079 --> 01:50:58.960 them into a friend. 1936 01:50:59.560 --> 01:51:04.279 And he made it sound like we needed a bad 1937 01:51:04.399 --> 01:51:08.560 guy and we couldn't live without a bad guy, and 1938 01:51:08.920 --> 01:51:10.800 at that time, China wasn't. 1939 01:51:10.640 --> 01:51:11.600 The biggest bad guy. 1940 01:51:12.199 --> 01:51:15.640 So I just think that there's a lot of things 1941 01:51:15.680 --> 01:51:19.560 I don't think we've been told as American citizens about 1942 01:51:19.680 --> 01:51:23.960 this latest war, especially you know, I'm not I'm not 1943 01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:27.800 a big Putin fan, but still he is a leader 1944 01:51:27.840 --> 01:51:30.039 of a country. He has to do certain things to 1945 01:51:30.119 --> 01:51:34.520 stay in power. And if we continually break our word 1946 01:51:34.680 --> 01:51:38.399 to them, like yeah, well we'll we'll add yet another 1947 01:51:38.640 --> 01:51:41.399 country to NATO, We'll add another country to NATRO, even 1948 01:51:41.439 --> 01:51:44.199 though we tell him when he meets with us that 1949 01:51:44.319 --> 01:51:47.439 we're not going to do that. And you know, I 1950 01:51:47.600 --> 01:51:49.399 just think that there's a lot of things that we 1951 01:51:49.600 --> 01:51:52.840 don't know, and I hope that the Trump administration can 1952 01:51:52.920 --> 01:51:56.239 bring that to light and let us know why this 1953 01:51:56.840 --> 01:52:02.680 this last war, besides money, would is really fought and 1954 01:52:02.760 --> 01:52:06.319 why we're not working so much harder to make Russia 1955 01:52:06.399 --> 01:52:10.439 into that economic friend that both of us could benefit 1956 01:52:10.520 --> 01:52:14.039 from and even Ukraine tip benefit. I mean, the United 1957 01:52:14.119 --> 01:52:17.520 States can really do a lot for a country, and 1958 01:52:17.920 --> 01:52:20.880 if we're not doing that. I kind of wonder why 1959 01:52:20.960 --> 01:52:21.239 we're not. 1960 01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:25.239 Yeah, I agree with you completely, and you know it's 1961 01:52:25.319 --> 01:52:28.239 not just one sided. You know, if we engaged in 1962 01:52:28.560 --> 01:52:32.520 better relations with them, we would benefit economically and they 1963 01:52:32.560 --> 01:52:36.119 would benefit economically. It's certainly a excuse me, get ready 1964 01:52:36.119 --> 01:52:39.439 to sneeze. It's a two way street. And if everybody 1965 01:52:39.479 --> 01:52:41.399 stands to gain on this, and then we can put 1966 01:52:41.439 --> 01:52:44.760 aside the whole idea of armed conflict because we have 1967 01:52:44.880 --> 01:52:47.760 a cozier relationship, then the world will be a better 1968 01:52:47.800 --> 01:52:51.159 place for that as well. Absolutely, And you know, think 1969 01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:53.279 about the European Union, if if if Trump, think about that, 1970 01:52:53.319 --> 01:52:57.479 if Trump can negotiate an economic stalemate or relationship with 1971 01:52:57.600 --> 01:53:01.039 Russia and this stupid, stupid conflict that's raging right now, 1972 01:53:02.439 --> 01:53:04.920 then nature wouldn't have to worry so much about, oh 1973 01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:07.640 my god, the evil Russians invading, and then the world 1974 01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:11.640 could collectively turn its had an attention toward China, who's 1975 01:53:11.680 --> 01:53:16.079 growing militarily and economically and has designs on basically the 1976 01:53:16.319 --> 01:53:18.880 entire world. See what's going on in the South China Sea, 1977 01:53:19.000 --> 01:53:24.079 and talk to someone who lives in Taiwan. Right, I agree, Well, 1978 01:53:24.359 --> 01:53:26.800 excellent thoughts there, Jeff, and I appreciate you chiming in, 1979 01:53:26.920 --> 01:53:29.399 because that's the way I'm feeling more and more every day. 1980 01:53:29.760 --> 01:53:32.279 This whole idea that we're still fighting the Cold War 1981 01:53:32.319 --> 01:53:35.720 with the Soviet Union is a manufactured concept. And again, 1982 01:53:35.960 --> 01:53:38.399 Pewtin's not a great guy. I mean, he's murdered some 1983 01:53:38.479 --> 01:53:40.319 of some of the people that around him. He's well 1984 01:53:40.399 --> 01:53:42.640 known for that. But you know, I mean he's he's 1985 01:53:42.680 --> 01:53:45.239 basically the dictator of the country we live and work with, 1986 01:53:45.479 --> 01:53:47.960 and and and trade with a whole lot of countries 1987 01:53:47.960 --> 01:53:51.079 who have similar political setups in relations and and and 1988 01:53:51.279 --> 01:53:54.920 you know, dictatorial realities. I mean, Biden was working, you know, 1989 01:53:55.000 --> 01:53:57.920 hand in hand with the Venezuelans for God's sake. So 1990 01:53:58.279 --> 01:54:01.960 why why wasn't that wrong? You just pick and choose 1991 01:54:01.960 --> 01:54:04.199 who are bad guys are? I want to focus on 1992 01:54:04.319 --> 01:54:06.960 the real bad guy, and that right now seems Beijiji 1993 01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:10.399 in Ping in China, notably for all of the hacking 1994 01:54:10.479 --> 01:54:13.399 they've done, they're stealing of our military secrets and other secrets, 1995 01:54:13.399 --> 01:54:18.279 industrial secrets. They're growing military strength, their threats against Taiwan, 1996 01:54:18.399 --> 01:54:21.319 who is an independent nation. Yes, I said that out loud, 1997 01:54:21.880 --> 01:54:24.479 so on and on and on and on. We could go. Thanks, 1998 01:54:24.640 --> 01:54:27.279 I appreciate that. Jeff five one, three, seven, four nine 1999 01:54:27.359 --> 01:54:29.319 fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three 2000 01:54:29.479 --> 01:54:32.359 talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. All right, 2001 01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:34.079 so you see your doctor. Your doctor says, you know 2002 01:54:34.159 --> 01:54:36.800 you need an echo cardiogram. Here's your prescription. Head on 2003 01:54:36.880 --> 01:54:38.800 down to the hospital imaging department. Make sure you go 2004 01:54:38.880 --> 01:54:42.039 to this particular hospital because that's the one that owns 2005 01:54:42.119 --> 01:54:46.039 my practice. That's why they send you there. Honestly, where 2006 01:54:46.079 --> 01:54:49.199 you'll pay thirty five hundred dollars for an echo cardigram. 2007 01:54:50.119 --> 01:54:52.640 It's coming out of your pocket, new counter year, new deductible. 2008 01:54:52.840 --> 01:54:55.399 Maybe you got to you gotta cope or something. It's 2009 01:54:55.439 --> 01:54:57.840 a cope off of thirty five hundred dollars. You get 2010 01:54:57.840 --> 01:55:00.279 a separate bill for the Board certified radiologist for report 2011 01:55:00.319 --> 01:55:02.680 with you and your doctor. Bulb, well, at least your 2012 01:55:02.760 --> 01:55:04.960 doctor needs it. And then you say to or so 2013 01:55:05.079 --> 01:55:07.359 wait MSS. I heard Thomas talk about affordable imaging services. 2014 01:55:07.359 --> 01:55:10.560 Where an echo cardiogram's five hundred bucks, it's only eight 2015 01:55:10.640 --> 01:55:13.159 hundred with an enhancement. I'm going to take that option 2016 01:55:13.600 --> 01:55:16.239 because I know it's the same equipment hospitals use. I 2017 01:55:16.359 --> 01:55:18.800 know I shouldn't expect much by way of overhead, but 2018 01:55:18.880 --> 01:55:21.520 that's what's bringing about these great savings. So I get 2019 01:55:21.560 --> 01:55:23.800 my image done there by medical professionals who've been doing 2020 01:55:23.880 --> 01:55:27.119 this for forty years. I get a board certified radiologist 2021 01:55:27.159 --> 01:55:29.640 support within forty eight hours, along with my doctor getting one, 2022 01:55:30.079 --> 01:55:33.119 and that's included in the price eight hundred with an 2023 01:55:33.159 --> 01:55:35.359 enhancement five hundred without. That's an acculo cardogram, and the 2024 01:55:35.399 --> 01:55:39.039 same thing goes a mere fraction of a hospital imaging 2025 01:55:39.079 --> 01:55:42.720 department prices for MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, lung screenings and 2026 01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:46.159 cardiac scoring. When it comes to your medical health and 2027 01:55:46.239 --> 01:55:48.840 your medical decision making, it's in your hands. You have 2028 01:55:49.000 --> 01:55:52.399 a choice. Here's the number five one three seven five 2029 01:55:52.520 --> 01:55:54.319 three eight thousand. Yes, and I've been there, and I've 2030 01:55:54.359 --> 01:55:57.560 got one schedule for April CT scan five on three seven, 2031 01:55:57.680 --> 01:56:02.800 five three eight thousand online Affordable Medimaging dot com fifty 2032 01:56:02.920 --> 01:56:06.479 five KRC.

Time for a traffic update, 2043 01:56:37.720 --> 01:56:39.079 Chuck from. 2044 01:56:38.920 --> 01:56:41.720 The uc UP Traffic Center. Around forty percent of cancers 2045 01:56:41.760 --> 01:56:45.439 are preventable.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krc 2052 01:57:07.279 --> 01:57:08.359 the talk station. 2053 01:57:11.199 --> 01:57:16.439 Seven fifty three here fifty five KRCV talk station. If 2054 01:57:16.479 --> 01:57:18.359 you just chuning in tending in the right time, although 2055 01:57:18.359 --> 01:57:19.800 we are going to head on into a break here 2056 01:57:19.840 --> 01:57:24.359 in a couple of minutes. Uh he getting excited about it. 2057 01:57:24.439 --> 01:57:26.520 Dan Grahmasim returns of the Morning Show. I think the 2058 01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:29.159 last time I talked to him was for his book Woke, Inc. 2059 01:57:29.760 --> 01:57:33.039 And he's a rather prolific writer. He's written some outstanding books. 2060 01:57:33.079 --> 01:57:35.520 The man is absolutely brilliant, and he wants to turn 2061 01:57:35.600 --> 01:57:37.239 the state of Ohio around. He wants to make an 2062 01:57:37.279 --> 01:57:40.479 economic powerhouse. He has some great ideas about education reform, 2063 01:57:41.119 --> 01:57:44.239 school choice. He is in favor of school choice and 2064 01:57:44.640 --> 01:57:48.079 been asking him about maybe bringing back classical education, which 2065 01:57:48.159 --> 01:57:51.680 is such a wonderful, wonderful mechanism of getting young people 2066 01:57:51.880 --> 01:57:56.199 educated and giving them logical, critical thinking skills. I think 2067 01:57:56.239 --> 01:57:58.760 he's an advocate for getting rid of cell phones in 2068 01:57:59.000 --> 01:58:02.680 the schools. What a brilliant idea that is. You know, 2069 01:58:02.760 --> 01:58:05.279 we had that story this morning about five suicides in 2070 01:58:05.399 --> 01:58:08.479 one school district. Just broke my heart and one woman 2071 01:58:08.920 --> 01:58:10.640 just had she had facebooked me she has a lot 2072 01:58:10.680 --> 01:58:13.239 of it maybe had to do with bullying. You've got 2073 01:58:13.359 --> 01:58:15.960 actual bullying, face to face bullying, which I think every 2074 01:58:16.079 --> 01:58:19.399 human being has faced at some point in their education period. 2075 01:58:19.479 --> 01:58:22.119 But once again, you go back to social media and 2076 01:58:22.199 --> 01:58:25.039 it's like a twenty four to seven possibility, you know, 2077 01:58:25.159 --> 01:58:30.319 teachers cannot monitor the social media exchanges and the text 2078 01:58:30.439 --> 01:58:33.840 exchanges between the children, most notably an off hours. But 2079 01:58:33.880 --> 01:58:37.279 if you take away eight hours worth of that and 2080 01:58:37.399 --> 01:58:41.720 get their attention focused back on education, I think that 2081 01:58:41.800 --> 01:58:45.680 could bring around some profound changes for the positive. We 2082 01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:48.800 could create a state of well educated children. And that's 2083 01:58:48.840 --> 01:58:52.000 the recipe. It's a simple recipe. You want to be 2084 01:58:52.079 --> 01:58:53.960 a magnet state. You want to be a Texas or 2085 01:58:54.000 --> 01:58:55.880 a Florida and one of these states that really is 2086 01:58:56.079 --> 01:59:00.119 just way above in terms of bringing in all all 2087 01:59:00.159 --> 01:59:03.840 those dissatisfied folks that are fleeing the likes of Illinois 2088 01:59:04.000 --> 01:59:08.319 and New York and California because of the lunacy. You 2089 01:59:08.399 --> 01:59:11.840 have to create a great economic environment. You've got to 2090 01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:15.159 create a low regulatory burden, and you have to have 2091 01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:19.720 an education system the parents are drawn to. And I 2092 01:59:19.800 --> 01:59:22.039 think you'll have some outstanding ideas about that, and we 2093 01:59:22.399 --> 01:59:24.399 get an opportunity to talk about them coming up after 2094 01:59:24.439 --> 01:59:26.840 the top of the our news, so stick around for that, 2095 01:59:27.000 --> 01:59:29.560 and of course at eight thirty, as we do every Tuesday, 2096 01:59:29.600 --> 01:59:33.640 the Daniel Davis deep Tive further conversations about maybe an 2097 01:59:33.760 --> 01:59:36.560 end of the Russia Ukraine conflict. That'll be at a thirty. 2098 01:59:36.560 --> 01:59:39.960 I hope you can stick around covering Trump's first one 2099 01:59:40.079 --> 01:59:41.600 hundred days every day, every. 2100 01:59:41.560 --> 01:59:44.039 Day, Promises made, promises kept. 2101 01:59:44.199 --> 01:59:49.039 Fifty five KRZ the talk station. This report is sponsored 2102 01:59:49.119 --> 01:59:56.520 by eight oh five and fifty got KRCD Talk Station. 2103 01:59:56.680 --> 02:00:00.039 A very, very happy and special Tuesday. Brian Thomas, So 2104 02:00:00.119 --> 02:00:02.239 the fifty five Cassey Morning Show couldn't be more excited 2105 02:00:02.640 --> 02:00:04.399 than I am right now. Happy to welcome for the 2106 02:00:04.439 --> 02:00:06.279 first time. Actually at the first time, we talked about 2107 02:00:06.319 --> 02:00:09.359 his book Woking, but he has announced his intention to 2108 02:00:09.439 --> 02:00:13.279 be Ohio's next governor. Fivek Ramaswamy, Welcome to the fifty 2109 02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:15.279 five Cassey Morning Show. Distinct pleasure to have you on 2110 02:00:15.319 --> 02:00:18.560 the program today, sir, Thanks for having me. Brian. Good 2111 02:00:18.560 --> 02:00:20.479 to talk to you again, and it's great to just 2112 02:00:20.720 --> 02:00:23.560 I want to congratulate you. Right after your nets, you 2113 02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:25.880 immediately got the endorsement of President Donald Trump. 2114 02:00:27.319 --> 02:00:29.760 Thank you. It was an honor to receive his endorsement. 2115 02:00:29.960 --> 02:00:32.880 He and I have worked together over the last year 2116 02:00:32.920 --> 02:00:34.800 and I'm so proud of what he's doing for the country, 2117 02:00:35.479 --> 02:00:38.000 and in my view, he's making America great again. He's 2118 02:00:38.079 --> 02:00:41.720 reviving our conviction in America. We need a leader here 2119 02:00:41.720 --> 02:00:44.319 at home who's going to revive our conviction in Ohio. 2120 02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:47.159 And I'm going to be honored hopefully to serve as 2121 02:00:47.199 --> 02:00:49.399 our next governor and to take our state to the 2122 02:00:49.439 --> 02:00:49.920 next level. 2123 02:00:50.199 --> 02:00:54.520 Well, considering what I know you've identified as your campaign platform, 2124 02:00:54.640 --> 02:01:00.439 economic excellence and building Ohio as a state with educational excellentce, 2125 02:01:01.640 --> 02:01:05.119 you seem to have the recipe for success down I've seen, 2126 02:01:05.239 --> 02:01:08.119 I know you know about people fleeing California, New York, 2127 02:01:08.199 --> 02:01:11.520 and Illinois to other states that have a better business environment. 2128 02:01:11.840 --> 02:01:14.880 Typically it's Texas and Florida identified. But you want to 2129 02:01:14.920 --> 02:01:18.560 make Ohio a even better magnet, and it seems to 2130 02:01:18.600 --> 02:01:23.359 me the recipe for that low taxes, reduction to regulatory burden, 2131 02:01:23.479 --> 02:01:26.199 and of course the quality education that you plan for. 2132 02:01:26.239 --> 02:01:28.439 And if we could start with that, because I'm a 2133 02:01:28.560 --> 02:01:32.239 huge fan of your ideas on education, most notably school 2134 02:01:32.399 --> 02:01:36.840 choice and improving vocational opportunities as well. 2135 02:01:38.359 --> 02:01:41.800 Absolutely, I mean you stated my platform directly, that's exactly 2136 02:01:41.920 --> 02:01:45.119 the core agenda for the state. There's just one key 2137 02:01:45.159 --> 02:01:47.439 element to that I would add, Brian, is that I 2138 02:01:47.520 --> 02:01:49.319 also want to be a governor who makes sure that 2139 02:01:49.399 --> 02:01:54.119 our public schools are equipped to compete with the best 2140 02:01:54.199 --> 02:01:56.239 of those alternatives. I'm going to push for harder school 2141 02:01:56.359 --> 02:01:59.920 choice with our public schools. I'm going to implement marya 2142 02:02:00.520 --> 02:02:06.760 based pay for every teacher, principal, administrator, and superintendent, because 2143 02:02:06.840 --> 02:02:09.159 to be clear, the best teachers actually. 2144 02:02:08.880 --> 02:02:10.680 Deserve to be paid much more than they are. 2145 02:02:11.239 --> 02:02:14.000 But that means we have to actually rationalize the waste 2146 02:02:14.039 --> 02:02:17.840 of expenditures elsewhere in our education system. It's not just 2147 02:02:17.920 --> 02:02:20.640 throwing more money at our public schools, it's how that 2148 02:02:20.880 --> 02:02:25.039 money is spent. Other basic common sense reforms like finally 2149 02:02:25.239 --> 02:02:26.039 getting the cell. 2150 02:02:25.880 --> 02:02:27.000 Phones out of our classes. 2151 02:02:27.119 --> 02:02:31.000 Yeah, bringing back physical education at a younger age, and 2152 02:02:31.399 --> 02:02:35.119 the presidential Fitness test, which we'll bring back physical health, 2153 02:02:35.199 --> 02:02:36.119 it's mental health. 2154 02:02:36.800 --> 02:02:37.840 It's civic health. 2155 02:02:37.960 --> 02:02:40.279 To Brian is, We're going to bring back civic education 2156 02:02:40.840 --> 02:02:43.039 that teaches our kids to be proud of our state 2157 02:02:43.239 --> 02:02:44.399 rather than ashamed of it. 2158 02:02:45.000 --> 02:02:46.199 And one of the things I'm. 2159 02:02:46.560 --> 02:02:50.560 Particularly passionate about is every high school senior who graduates 2160 02:02:51.000 --> 02:02:53.640 from Ohio Public High School is going to have to 2161 02:02:53.720 --> 02:02:57.920 pass the same Civics test that every legal immigrant has 2162 02:02:58.039 --> 02:03:01.079 to pass in order to become am citizen in the country, 2163 02:03:01.119 --> 02:03:03.159 and so anyway, these are basic changes where we can 2164 02:03:03.239 --> 02:03:05.000 lead the country, and I'm excited that we're going to 2165 02:03:05.039 --> 02:03:06.199 take our state to the next level. 2166 02:03:06.399 --> 02:03:07.920 I love that it sounds to me like you're a 2167 02:03:08.039 --> 02:03:10.680 proponent of as I am, a classical education. 2168 02:03:12.159 --> 02:03:14.920 Yes, I think that you can't be proud of a 2169 02:03:15.039 --> 02:03:18.039 country that you don't know the history of. And I 2170 02:03:18.119 --> 02:03:20.079 do think that young people, I think all of us 2171 02:03:20.119 --> 02:03:24.520 in some sense are hungering for purpose and meaning and identity. 2172 02:03:24.640 --> 02:03:27.039 And I do think that filling that void with the 2173 02:03:27.159 --> 02:03:30.039 real thing, not the fake stuff, but the real thing, 2174 02:03:30.680 --> 02:03:36.119 is actually what's going to give us our true fulfillment individual, family, nation, 2175 02:03:36.479 --> 02:03:40.680 and God beat race, gender, sexuality, and climate if we 2176 02:03:40.720 --> 02:03:42.039 have the courage to stand for it. 2177 02:03:42.720 --> 02:03:43.479 And at the same time, I. 2178 02:03:43.520 --> 02:03:45.560 Was clear, I'm opening last night, and I'll deliver the 2179 02:03:45.600 --> 02:03:49.000 same message in Toledo, where I'm headed right now. I'll 2180 02:03:49.359 --> 02:03:51.359 deliver the same message in strongsviol where I'm head, and 2181 02:03:51.399 --> 02:03:54.600 deny it that. My message to every Democrat in the 2182 02:03:54.720 --> 02:03:57.600 state and every independent in this state is that we 2183 02:03:57.720 --> 02:04:00.039 may not agree on one hundred percent of issues. And 2184 02:04:00.119 --> 02:04:02.920 that's okay. Diversity of thoughts the beautiful thing in Ohio. 2185 02:04:03.399 --> 02:04:06.640 But if you care about economic excellence in this state, 2186 02:04:07.000 --> 02:04:10.439 if you care about educational excellence in this state, if 2187 02:04:10.479 --> 02:04:13.359 you care about your kids having the same shot at 2188 02:04:13.399 --> 02:04:16.359 the American dream that this state in this country gave 2189 02:04:16.479 --> 02:04:19.039 to me, and we're actually on the same team as 2190 02:04:19.079 --> 02:04:20.680 the way I look at it. Give a seat at 2191 02:04:20.720 --> 02:04:23.199 the table in this movement. Let's take our state to 2192 02:04:23.279 --> 02:04:25.359 the next level. And I want to work together with 2193 02:04:25.439 --> 02:04:29.319 everybody doing, not just constitutional conservatives like you and I, 2194 02:04:29.680 --> 02:04:32.199 which of course that's important. We're not going to compromise 2195 02:04:32.239 --> 02:04:35.560 on our principles, but we're going to work with everybody 2196 02:04:35.680 --> 02:04:38.760 in this state to lift us up economically and to 2197 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:42.239 give our kids the world class education that I believe 2198 02:04:42.439 --> 02:04:44.079 is their birthright in Ohio. 2199 02:04:44.760 --> 02:04:47.880 Well, I certainly enjoy hearing what you're saying, and you're right. 2200 02:04:47.960 --> 02:04:50.199 You know, rising tide lifts all ships. Doesn't matter what 2201 02:04:50.239 --> 02:04:52.640 your political stripe is. You got a better business environment, 2202 02:04:52.680 --> 02:04:55.840 better educational environment, every single human being in the state 2203 02:04:55.920 --> 02:04:59.920 will benefit to flipping over to I just I'm reacting 2204 02:05:00.159 --> 02:05:03.079 to your idea of merit based compensation for teachers, which 2205 02:05:03.119 --> 02:05:05.359 of course is a great concept. You know, if you 2206 02:05:05.560 --> 02:05:07.880 live in a meritocracy, the better you are. The brighter 2207 02:05:07.960 --> 02:05:10.000 you are, the harder you work, the more likely it 2208 02:05:10.119 --> 02:05:11.840 is you're going to make more money. And that's just 2209 02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:15.600 the proven recipe all from the beginning of time. How 2210 02:05:15.720 --> 02:05:18.840 do you do you judge the merits? Though? How is what? 2211 02:05:18.960 --> 02:05:20.239 Is the great question? 2212 02:05:20.399 --> 02:05:22.439 Yeah, go ahead, that's a. 2213 02:05:22.439 --> 02:05:24.439 Great question, and there's a good conversation to have. The 2214 02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:28.199 way I believe it should be judged as a starting point, okay, 2215 02:05:28.439 --> 02:05:31.640 is objective results. There you have test scores and other 2216 02:05:31.720 --> 02:05:36.279 results combined with the assessment of parents. And I think 2217 02:05:36.359 --> 02:05:38.720 the conversation to be had of whether you add some 2218 02:05:38.880 --> 02:05:42.279 element of peer review as well, where the way the 2219 02:05:42.399 --> 02:05:44.479 teacher works within the context of the school with their 2220 02:05:44.479 --> 02:05:47.159 other peers is also at least an input. But you 2221 02:05:47.279 --> 02:05:52.640 have then objective metrics, parental assessment, peer assessments, and most importantly, 2222 02:05:52.760 --> 02:05:55.399 objective assessments of the success of our students. 2223 02:05:55.880 --> 02:05:57.680 To be clear, that's what this is all about. 2224 02:05:58.199 --> 02:06:01.279 Seventy five percent of eighth graders right now are not 2225 02:06:01.520 --> 02:06:06.199 proficient in math innal standards. We have kids in other 2226 02:06:06.279 --> 02:06:10.319 countries where English isn't even their first language doing better 2227 02:06:10.439 --> 02:06:14.000 on English proficiency than our own students right here, Brian, 2228 02:06:14.520 --> 02:06:16.319 I think that's not acceptable to me. So we got 2229 02:06:16.399 --> 02:06:19.439 to measure how we're improving on those metrics, from the 2230 02:06:19.479 --> 02:06:22.680 inner city of Cincinnati to Cleveland to Appalasia, the whole 2231 02:06:22.760 --> 02:06:25.319 state to actually give our kids. We owe it to 2232 02:06:25.399 --> 02:06:28.439 the next generation. I'm a father of two sons myself, 2233 02:06:29.159 --> 02:06:32.079 and I care about passing that American dream on to 2234 02:06:32.239 --> 02:06:34.840 my kids and their generation, and we're going to do 2235 02:06:34.920 --> 02:06:37.279 that here in Ohio in a way that sets a 2236 02:06:37.479 --> 02:06:40.479 model for the rest of the country. And one thing 2237 02:06:40.479 --> 02:06:42.560 I want to say about this is we do have 2238 02:06:42.600 --> 02:06:45.119 an issue where many kids who grow up in this 2239 02:06:45.319 --> 02:06:49.800 state end up leaving to pursue opportunities in other states. 2240 02:06:50.279 --> 02:06:52.319 I want them to stay here and pursue the American 2241 02:06:52.399 --> 02:06:55.239 dream in Ohio because it is the best place for 2242 02:06:55.359 --> 02:06:58.119 them to make that decision, close to their parents and 2243 02:06:58.199 --> 02:07:02.560 to their grandparents. Keeping the generational families in this state, 2244 02:07:02.760 --> 02:07:05.319 because that's the place where they have the best educational 2245 02:07:05.680 --> 02:07:08.439 and economic opportunities. That's where I want to lead us. 2246 02:07:08.640 --> 02:07:10.720 Well. One of the stumbling blocks and the elephant of 2247 02:07:10.760 --> 02:07:13.920 the room on all of your wonderful and logical and 2248 02:07:14.039 --> 02:07:17.560 reasonable ideas about education happens to be the Teachers Union, 2249 02:07:18.199 --> 02:07:21.760 and they they exist for their own benefit, not for 2250 02:07:21.840 --> 02:07:24.039 the benefit of students. I just have to generally speak. 2251 02:07:24.119 --> 02:07:26.039 But that seems to be the case. And how are 2252 02:07:26.039 --> 02:07:28.000 you going to cope with them and their uh and 2253 02:07:28.119 --> 02:07:31.600 and and and deal with the opposition you're most certainly 2254 02:07:31.640 --> 02:07:35.399 going to face from the teachers union. Look the way 2255 02:07:35.399 --> 02:07:35.800 I said it. 2256 02:07:35.920 --> 02:07:38.920 I was crystal clear last night in both my speeches, 2257 02:07:39.199 --> 02:07:41.840 and I'll say it again today. I don't want to 2258 02:07:42.119 --> 02:07:45.359 pick a fight with the teachers unions. Frankly, I don't 2259 02:07:45.399 --> 02:07:48.279 want to pick a fight with anybody. But I'm not 2260 02:07:48.359 --> 02:07:50.800 going to back down from one either. I'm going to 2261 02:07:50.880 --> 02:07:55.199 do whatever is required to stand for the achievement. 2262 02:07:54.880 --> 02:07:55.680 Of our students. 2263 02:07:56.159 --> 02:07:57.840 And let me be crystal clear, as I said earlier, 2264 02:07:57.880 --> 02:08:00.880 the best teachers deserve to be compensated better than they are. 2265 02:08:01.000 --> 02:08:03.560 Right now, I think of missus Kinney, this teacher of 2266 02:08:03.600 --> 02:08:06.640 mine in sixth grade who lit a fire under my feet. 2267 02:08:06.680 --> 02:08:09.159 She changed my life. He helped me see potential in 2268 02:08:09.239 --> 02:08:11.640 myself that I hadn't seen. That was at the public 2269 02:08:11.720 --> 02:08:16.520 schools in Princeton outside Cincinnati, at Realis Roberty Lucas Intermediate 2270 02:08:16.560 --> 02:08:17.800 School with a magnet program. 2271 02:08:17.880 --> 02:08:19.359 The family is closed now. 2272 02:08:19.800 --> 02:08:23.039 As Kinny is somebody who I reflected on last night 2273 02:08:23.079 --> 02:08:25.960 in my speech. She unfortunately died a couple of years 2274 02:08:26.000 --> 02:08:28.399 ago in a tragic accident. But I'd be thanking her 2275 02:08:28.439 --> 02:08:30.920 today if she were alive. And I will tell you this, 2276 02:08:31.479 --> 02:08:34.720 I want more teachers like her. But that's not an 2277 02:08:34.760 --> 02:08:38.800 anti public school teacher message. That is a pro teacher message. 2278 02:08:39.319 --> 02:08:41.840 But any obstacle that stands in the way, if that's 2279 02:08:41.880 --> 02:08:44.159 the union for anybody else, we're going to deal with 2280 02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:47.439 that to do what's right for our students with strength. 2281 02:08:48.439 --> 02:08:52.560 Well, you are an obviously wildly successful entrepreneur. You built 2282 02:08:52.600 --> 02:08:55.960 a stil aerospace right here in Cincinnati. In spite of 2283 02:08:56.199 --> 02:08:58.760 the regulatory and challenges you face in the state of 2284 02:08:58.800 --> 02:09:01.399 Ohio at least still currently, you were able to do it. 2285 02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:05.039 So I highlight that and illustrated because in spite of 2286 02:09:05.159 --> 02:09:07.439 the obstacles which shouldn't be there in the state of 2287 02:09:07.479 --> 02:09:09.960 Ohio for business advancement, you're able to do it. But 2288 02:09:10.279 --> 02:09:12.680 you know where the skeletons are, you know where the 2289 02:09:12.800 --> 02:09:15.279 problems lie, and you know where the reforms need to 2290 02:09:15.319 --> 02:09:15.640 be made. 2291 02:09:17.039 --> 02:09:19.319 Well, thank you for that. I mean, just to be crystical, 2292 02:09:19.399 --> 02:09:22.199 we launched the event at Ctail Aerospace last night, and 2293 02:09:22.279 --> 02:09:25.399 as a great founder and a great family that invited 2294 02:09:25.479 --> 02:09:27.159 us in so saying, but no, that's close to home 2295 02:09:27.199 --> 02:09:29.239 where I grew up. So I grew up. My first 2296 02:09:29.279 --> 02:09:31.560 house that I grew up until I was five is 2297 02:09:31.680 --> 02:09:34.319 a few minutes away from there. So you know, I 2298 02:09:34.359 --> 02:09:38.000 could see the commonality that being said. I've built successful businesses. 2299 02:09:38.159 --> 02:09:42.640 I was across biotech, across financial services, across other industries, 2300 02:09:43.159 --> 02:09:46.960 and I understand what it takes to have success. It 2301 02:09:47.079 --> 02:09:50.319 means that you're able to pursue your own vision and 2302 02:09:50.439 --> 02:09:53.159 serve your customers and serve the people for whom you 2303 02:09:53.279 --> 02:09:56.840 exist without the government or bureaucracy standing in your way. 2304 02:09:56.960 --> 02:09:59.439 And that's my vision for Ohio. I want this to 2305 02:09:59.560 --> 02:10:02.680 be the most most competitive state in the country to 2306 02:10:02.920 --> 02:10:06.079 start and grow a new business, for young families to 2307 02:10:06.199 --> 02:10:09.159 flock to to raise your kids in. Are we headed 2308 02:10:09.199 --> 02:10:11.680 in the right direction? I think we actually are headed 2309 02:10:11.760 --> 02:10:14.640 in the right direction. This is in California. We don't 2310 02:10:14.680 --> 02:10:16.600 need a U turn. But what we do need to 2311 02:10:16.640 --> 02:10:19.159 do is we need to step on the gas without 2312 02:10:19.239 --> 02:10:21.560 holding back. We don't need to be shooting to be 2313 02:10:21.680 --> 02:10:24.119 a good state in the Midwest. We just shoot to 2314 02:10:24.119 --> 02:10:27.199 be the best state in the country to actually lead 2315 02:10:27.279 --> 02:10:30.520 economically and educationally. And I don't think that that's unrealistic 2316 02:10:30.560 --> 02:10:33.720 if you look at the last century. Really, even at 2317 02:10:33.720 --> 02:10:36.840 the turn of the last Industrial Revolution, Ohio led the 2318 02:10:36.920 --> 02:10:40.399 way in the nation. We were the economic powerhouse of America. 2319 02:10:40.960 --> 02:10:43.000 And I think if Silicon Valley led the way in 2320 02:10:43.039 --> 02:10:45.239 the last ten years, I think it should be the 2321 02:10:45.279 --> 02:10:48.239 Ohio River Valley over the next ten years. And so 2322 02:10:48.359 --> 02:10:51.079 that's the ambition I want to bring to leading this state, 2323 02:10:51.560 --> 02:10:55.880 ambition for every ohioan ambition to lift up the lives 2324 02:10:55.960 --> 02:10:58.960 of every kid in this state. It's a moment for 2325 02:10:59.039 --> 02:11:02.199 a modern Northwest ordinance is the way I look at this. 2326 02:11:02.640 --> 02:11:06.800 We're at conservative state. We deserved to be governed accordingly. 2327 02:11:07.479 --> 02:11:09.720 And that's not going to lose US elections, Brian. It's 2328 02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:13.000 going to win US elections because it'll put more money 2329 02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:16.520 in people's pockets, lift up more people in this state 2330 02:11:16.600 --> 02:11:20.800 from poverty. It'll revive civic pride and self confidence in 2331 02:11:20.920 --> 02:11:23.239 our young people. And I don't care whether you're a 2332 02:11:23.279 --> 02:11:27.680 Democrat or Republican, black or white, man or woman, urban 2333 02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:33.039 or rural. If you care about economic excellence, and educational excellence. 2334 02:11:32.600 --> 02:11:33.159 In this state. 2335 02:11:33.560 --> 02:11:35.039 And we got to seek for you at the table 2336 02:11:35.079 --> 02:11:37.680 in this movement. And I want to work with everybody 2337 02:11:38.239 --> 02:11:40.439 to take the state to the next level. And dare 2338 02:11:40.520 --> 02:11:43.640 I say unite this state in a landslide victory next year. 2339 02:11:44.159 --> 02:11:45.560 That's what I'm shooting for at this point. 2340 02:11:45.920 --> 02:11:49.920 Well, I understand you also are in favor of work 2341 02:11:50.000 --> 02:11:52.600 requirements for Medicaid and welfare. We have a bit of 2342 02:11:52.640 --> 02:11:54.319 a problem in this state with Medicaid one of the 2343 02:11:54.399 --> 02:11:57.399 worst in the country in terms of fraud, waste, and abuse. 2344 02:11:57.439 --> 02:11:59.880 And I found out recently talked to Representative Jennifer gross 2345 02:11:59.880 --> 02:12:03.560 To just a few days ago, and they did a 2346 02:12:03.680 --> 02:12:06.960 recent analysis, a statistical sampling and found out that twenty 2347 02:12:07.079 --> 02:12:10.000 six percent of the Medicaid payments go to individuals that 2348 02:12:10.119 --> 02:12:12.960 do not even live in our state, which translates to 2349 02:12:13.119 --> 02:12:17.600 like ten billion dollars. Mister Ramswami, that might help solve 2350 02:12:17.640 --> 02:12:21.119 the school funding problem. We're already operating under an unconstitutional 2351 02:12:21.199 --> 02:12:23.640 structure for funding schools. If we could claw back that 2352 02:12:23.840 --> 02:12:25.960 or not send it out of the state, apply that 2353 02:12:26.079 --> 02:12:31.359 to education, we might get some relief on our property taxes, 2354 02:12:31.399 --> 02:12:33.600 which are killing so many people in this area. 2355 02:12:34.960 --> 02:12:36.119 So look, I want to give a shout out to 2356 02:12:36.199 --> 02:12:39.279 Jennifer Growth. She has been outstanding on this issue of 2357 02:12:39.439 --> 02:12:43.600 medicaid and spotlighting areas for savings. So she's doing a 2358 02:12:43.680 --> 02:12:47.079 fantastic job. She was actually at our event last night 2359 02:12:47.119 --> 02:12:50.239 as well. I'm grateful for her supporting Butler County. But 2360 02:12:50.640 --> 02:12:52.600 I will tell you we need to now do something 2361 02:12:52.800 --> 02:12:55.159 about it as well, and to me part of the solution. 2362 02:12:55.600 --> 02:12:57.319 First of all, we should make sure that there aren't 2363 02:12:57.319 --> 02:13:00.520 recipients who, literally, as you're mentioning out state or other 2364 02:13:00.600 --> 02:13:03.840 places where it's just error, should not be receiving money 2365 02:13:03.880 --> 02:13:07.239 that wasn't intended for them. But even more broadly, as 2366 02:13:07.279 --> 02:13:10.439 a policy measure, that's just an implementation failure. As a 2367 02:13:10.560 --> 02:13:15.119 policy measure, work requirements for medicaid and welfare are not 2368 02:13:15.239 --> 02:13:18.600 only reasonable, they're necessary. They're necessary not just as a 2369 02:13:18.640 --> 02:13:23.399 budgetary matter, but even for the recipients. That's not compassion. 2370 02:13:23.520 --> 02:13:26.039 To increase somebody's dependence on the government. 2371 02:13:25.920 --> 02:13:26.720 That is cruelty. 2372 02:13:27.199 --> 02:13:29.279 That is a form of cruelty. And I think the 2373 02:13:29.399 --> 02:13:32.680 true form of compassion is helping somebody not with the handout, 2374 02:13:32.720 --> 02:13:35.840 but a handoff in their time of need, to give 2375 02:13:35.920 --> 02:13:39.399 them a bridge to self sustain themselves on their own 2376 02:13:39.520 --> 02:13:42.680 two feet. That's the American way, and so I do 2377 02:13:42.840 --> 02:13:45.640 think that even well intentioned folks who say that, well, 2378 02:13:46.199 --> 02:13:49.359 are these work requirements to aggressive? To be clear, they're 2379 02:13:49.399 --> 02:13:52.600 not work requirements. We're talking about are age eighteen to 2380 02:13:52.760 --> 02:13:56.479 fifty four. If you're able bodied, if you don't have kids, 2381 02:13:56.960 --> 02:13:59.920 then you're talking about twenty hours a week of work, 2382 02:14:00.119 --> 02:14:02.279 king or at least trying to find work. I think 2383 02:14:02.279 --> 02:14:04.520 it's really reasonable. That's where the federal standards are today. 2384 02:14:04.880 --> 02:14:07.640 Ohio should not be seeking an exemption from that or 2385 02:14:07.720 --> 02:14:10.199 a waiver from that. We should be embracing it and 2386 02:14:10.319 --> 02:14:13.720 leading the country to say that we embrace hard work. 2387 02:14:14.119 --> 02:14:16.720 We're going to end the war on work in this state, 2388 02:14:17.199 --> 02:14:19.720 by the way, Brian, at a time when we do 2389 02:14:19.880 --> 02:14:23.000 have a shortage of workers, why are we paying people 2390 02:14:23.079 --> 02:14:27.119 and incentivizing them not to work. That doesn't make any sense. 2391 02:14:27.760 --> 02:14:29.720 That goes back to the other point we were making 2392 02:14:29.760 --> 02:14:32.720 about making Ohio the best place to start and grow business. 2393 02:14:33.159 --> 02:14:35.840 If we have a more plentiful work population, population of 2394 02:14:35.880 --> 02:14:39.279 workers who aren't being paid by the federal government, by 2395 02:14:39.319 --> 02:14:42.239 the state government to stay home, that helps them too. 2396 02:14:42.840 --> 02:14:46.439 So it's a pro American message, it's a pro Ohio message. 2397 02:14:47.079 --> 02:14:50.000 At times, I do believe in speaking the hard truths, 2398 02:14:50.039 --> 02:14:53.720 even when they're tough. Think about that educational achievement crisis. 2399 02:14:53.760 --> 02:14:56.960 It doesn't land well on people's ears to hear that 2400 02:14:57.279 --> 02:15:00.159 seventy five percent of kids aren't proficient in math, but 2401 02:15:00.640 --> 02:15:02.479 you got to see the problem clearly in order to 2402 02:15:02.560 --> 02:15:05.119 fix it. Doesn't land on some well, some people's ears 2403 02:15:05.159 --> 02:15:07.800 to say we got to attach work requirements to Medicaid 2404 02:15:07.880 --> 02:15:10.720 and welfare. But actually, when you explain, if people understand, 2405 02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:14.079 even good Democrats understand where you're coming from. I'll give 2406 02:15:14.079 --> 02:15:16.079 you another one of those, Brian, which is a little 2407 02:15:16.119 --> 02:15:18.880 bit controversial, but I'll go there because I think it's 2408 02:15:18.880 --> 02:15:21.960 important when we think about ending the wave of crime 2409 02:15:22.079 --> 02:15:25.800 and rising poverty and homelessness in cities. In our cities, 2410 02:15:26.479 --> 02:15:28.319 I think we need to think about and we will 2411 02:15:28.359 --> 02:15:33.239 bring back the psychiatric hospitals that were shuttered in decades past, 2412 02:15:33.920 --> 02:15:36.399 because right now our jails are the top form of 2413 02:15:36.439 --> 02:15:38.399 mental health care in our state, and that doesn't make 2414 02:15:38.439 --> 02:15:41.359 any sense either to some of these solutions. I'm confident 2415 02:15:41.439 --> 02:15:44.800 that if we explain it to the people, even to 2416 02:15:44.880 --> 02:15:48.119 Democrats who may have a different opinion today, I believe 2417 02:15:48.119 --> 02:15:49.760 we're going to be able to bring them along with 2418 02:15:50.000 --> 02:15:53.720 respect and with open dialogue. And I think that culture 2419 02:15:53.760 --> 02:15:55.840 of mutual respect is the way I'm going to lead our. 2420 02:15:55.800 --> 02:15:58.640 State with that, Grandma Swimmy. It's just a distinct pleasure 2421 02:15:58.680 --> 02:16:00.840 to hear such logic and reas and I wish you 2422 02:16:00.920 --> 02:16:03.399 all the best in your efforts become governor the next 2423 02:16:03.720 --> 02:16:06.199 of the state of Ohio. I hope to someday call 2424 02:16:06.319 --> 02:16:09.159 you Governor Ramis when we talk after that moment in time. 2425 02:16:09.520 --> 02:16:11.479 But just I just have to observe this that work 2426 02:16:11.560 --> 02:16:16.359 requirement when there's so many trade jobs available twenty hours 2427 02:16:16.399 --> 02:16:18.279 a week. If you can work in the trade, you 2428 02:16:18.359 --> 02:16:22.279 can earn while you learn as an apprentice. Put that 2429 02:16:22.399 --> 02:16:24.479 opportunity in front of someone, say listen, you're not going 2430 02:16:24.520 --> 02:16:27.239 to get this benefit, but look, here's a great opportunity 2431 02:16:27.279 --> 02:16:29.760 if you have a career and a sustainable life and 2432 02:16:29.880 --> 02:16:32.680 a good salary. It just makes so much sense. 2433 02:16:34.079 --> 02:16:35.959 Yes, it does, which is a far bigger benefit. 2434 02:16:36.120 --> 02:16:36.959 So you're right to say it. 2435 02:16:37.360 --> 02:16:37.639 It is. 2436 02:16:37.959 --> 02:16:39.959 Well. I look forward to having you on any time 2437 02:16:40.200 --> 02:16:43.799 you like on the program Sir. I'm inspired by your words, 2438 02:16:43.920 --> 02:16:46.440 and I wish you all the best on the campaign trail. 2439 02:16:46.799 --> 02:16:48.959 Anytime on the fifty five Caressey Morning Show you want 2440 02:16:49.079 --> 02:16:50.799 you're you have an opportunity. 2441 02:16:50.319 --> 02:16:52.239 Sir, I appreciate it. 2442 02:16:52.399 --> 02:16:55.360 Man, take care. What's say say? Safe Travels eight twenty 2443 02:16:55.719 --> 02:16:58.399 two A fifty five cars Detalk Station Daniel Deep David 2444 02:16:58.520 --> 02:16:59.879 Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming up. 2445 02:16:59.840 --> 02:17:05.360 Now fifty five the talk station for seventy hey twenty 2446 02:17:05.479 --> 02:17:06.799 nine on a Tuesday. 2447 02:17:06.559 --> 02:17:09.760 Regular listeners, No, it's even appointment listening time. You can 2448 02:17:09.799 --> 02:17:12.920 also find the podcast at five Caresey dot com. Welcome 2449 02:17:13.000 --> 02:17:16.680 back my retired lieutenant colonel friend Daniel Davis for the 2450 02:17:16.920 --> 02:17:19.879 Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Good to talk to you today, Sir. 2451 02:17:19.959 --> 02:17:22.879 As always always a pleasure to be here. Look forward 2452 02:17:22.920 --> 02:17:23.879 to this every week and. 2453 02:17:24.040 --> 02:17:24.440 So do I. 2454 02:17:24.680 --> 02:17:30.680 And interesting times with Trump negotiating with Putin over a 2455 02:17:30.840 --> 02:17:33.840 resolution of this war, and it seems to me for 2456 02:17:33.959 --> 02:17:35.959 some reason, it's got the left all bent out of shape, 2457 02:17:36.000 --> 02:17:39.280 and I don't know why, because in addition to negotiating 2458 02:17:39.319 --> 02:17:43.319 with Putin on some sort of resolution, he's also trying 2459 02:17:43.399 --> 02:17:48.000 to open up economic cooperation for the benefit of both countries. 2460 02:17:48.079 --> 02:17:50.559 And what I observe here if you put down this 2461 02:17:50.680 --> 02:17:52.840 whole idea that Vladimir Putin is the same thing as 2462 02:17:52.879 --> 02:17:55.680 the Soviet Union. And I know he doesn't have clean hands, 2463 02:17:56.319 --> 02:17:58.600 but we work and trade with a lot of countries 2464 02:17:58.639 --> 02:18:00.600 who don't have clean hands, right, I mean, we're picking 2465 02:18:00.639 --> 02:18:02.879 and choosing who is good and who's bad. And i'd 2466 02:18:02.879 --> 02:18:05.440 point to the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party. 2467 02:18:05.479 --> 02:18:07.879 We trade with them all the time, and they are 2468 02:18:07.959 --> 02:18:11.479 our outstanding number one enemy in the world. So putting 2469 02:18:11.520 --> 02:18:14.200 that aside, though, if we could negotiate some sort of 2470 02:18:14.280 --> 02:18:18.079 economic cooperation along with this and along with resolving the conflict, 2471 02:18:18.200 --> 02:18:21.040 and I know you want to talk about that, but 2472 02:18:21.920 --> 02:18:26.079 that would, I would argue, have the result of benefiting 2473 02:18:26.159 --> 02:18:30.159 both countries economically. We can stop worrying about getting into 2474 02:18:30.319 --> 02:18:32.920 a shooting war with the Soviet or with the Russians. 2475 02:18:32.920 --> 02:18:35.520 Here I slipped with the Russians. You know, NATO wouldn't 2476 02:18:35.520 --> 02:18:38.399 have to concern itself with being invaded by Vladimir Putin, 2477 02:18:39.559 --> 02:18:44.719 and it might tear the getting cozier relationship between Russia 2478 02:18:44.799 --> 02:18:47.319 and China away, So we got all focus on the 2479 02:18:47.360 --> 02:18:49.399 real enemy, which is China. I don't know I'm just 2480 02:18:49.479 --> 02:18:52.000 I know, I'm kind of sort of on a stream 2481 02:18:52.040 --> 02:18:54.959 of consciousness on this, but I don't see this discussion 2482 02:18:55.040 --> 02:18:57.680 as a bad thing in any way. Your reactions, sir, 2483 02:18:58.760 --> 02:19:00.280 well my initial reactions. 2484 02:19:00.319 --> 02:19:01.799 I don't know how much you like your job, but 2485 02:19:01.840 --> 02:19:03.479 if you wanted to quit and go work as a 2486 02:19:03.520 --> 02:19:07.440 deputy Secretary of State, I would endorse you're a person 2487 02:19:07.600 --> 02:19:10.040 to go and do that, because, man, I would love 2488 02:19:10.120 --> 02:19:11.920 that kind of view up at the Secretary of State, 2489 02:19:11.959 --> 02:19:14.959 because that you're absolutely nailing all the things that are 2490 02:19:15.000 --> 02:19:16.440 important to the United States. 2491 02:19:16.520 --> 02:19:18.239 I mean, that's what Trump ran on. He ran on 2492 02:19:18.639 --> 02:19:20.799 wanted to be the America First. 2493 02:19:20.879 --> 02:19:23.559 He actually signed that into an executive order that his 2494 02:19:23.639 --> 02:19:26.319 foreign policy would be America First. And he's doing exactly 2495 02:19:26.399 --> 02:19:28.319 what he said he was going to do, and so far, 2496 02:19:28.479 --> 02:19:30.479 all of those things you mentioned are good for the 2497 02:19:30.639 --> 02:19:34.079 United States. And I guess to answer your question about 2498 02:19:34.159 --> 02:19:35.920 you know why this is and why there's so much 2499 02:19:36.360 --> 02:19:40.959 reticence and resistance from the Europeans especially, Yeah, it's because 2500 02:19:41.040 --> 02:19:43.559 we've tied all of this action over the last three 2501 02:19:43.639 --> 02:19:48.200 years to our credibility as an alliance and even to 2502 02:19:48.719 --> 02:19:49.600 the essence. 2503 02:19:49.319 --> 02:19:49.879 Of who we are. 2504 02:19:50.319 --> 02:19:52.319 We said and I actually did this on my show 2505 02:19:52.600 --> 02:19:54.959 yesterday a little bit kind of running through the history 2506 02:19:55.000 --> 02:19:57.040 of the last three years and in just a few minutes. 2507 02:19:57.079 --> 02:20:00.799 But basically we said that Russia had to lose, Ukraine 2508 02:20:00.840 --> 02:20:03.280 had to win at the outset of the war, and 2509 02:20:03.399 --> 02:20:06.600 then everything to that extent was said throughout the rest 2510 02:20:06.639 --> 02:20:09.040 of it. And many still say to this day they 2511 02:20:09.159 --> 02:20:13.079 cannot conceive of not winning, even if it comes to 2512 02:20:13.200 --> 02:20:16.600 the expense of benefits to our country, as you pointed out, 2513 02:20:16.719 --> 02:20:19.120 And so far it looks like Trump is willing to 2514 02:20:19.319 --> 02:20:21.079 just blow off all that pressure. 2515 02:20:20.799 --> 02:20:23.360 To do what makes sense. Well, the alliance that we're 2516 02:20:23.399 --> 02:20:26.159 talking about here was built on a post World War 2517 02:20:26.280 --> 02:20:29.000 two Europe that needed to be rebuilt, but also then 2518 02:20:29.600 --> 02:20:33.399 immediately began to be fearful of the Soviet Union and 2519 02:20:33.479 --> 02:20:36.520 their communist ways. I mean FDR sold out all those 2520 02:20:36.600 --> 02:20:39.680 Eastern European countries at Yalta. They became a part of 2521 02:20:39.719 --> 02:20:42.760 the Iron Curtain, their lives became miserable. Postfall of the 2522 02:20:42.840 --> 02:20:46.520 Soviet Union, many of them became more prosperous, I mean Ukraine, 2523 02:20:46.600 --> 02:20:49.399 for example, breadbasket of Europe at least at one point 2524 02:20:49.479 --> 02:20:51.920 until this war showed up. So they were in a 2525 02:20:52.040 --> 02:20:58.639 better position. I just don't know understand why again this 2526 02:20:58.799 --> 02:21:03.680 animosity in this that we have over Russia now them invading. 2527 02:21:03.879 --> 02:21:06.159 Yeah, I'll tell you though, on that point there, it's 2528 02:21:06.200 --> 02:21:10.280 important because there's another benefit that happened prior to February 2529 02:21:10.360 --> 02:21:12.959 twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, and that was that Europe 2530 02:21:13.079 --> 02:21:16.079 was significantly benefiting from Russian oil and gas because it 2531 02:21:16.159 --> 02:21:18.760 was coming in at a very low price, which benefited 2532 02:21:19.000 --> 02:21:21.840 all of Europe and all of their economy and everything 2533 02:21:21.959 --> 02:21:25.239 was predicated on low inputs, low cost of inputs, so 2534 02:21:25.360 --> 02:21:28.360 that they could have cost of outputs, they could have 2535 02:21:28.559 --> 02:21:30.840 higher profits and all that kind of thing. We have 2536 02:21:31.040 --> 02:21:34.440 absolutely shot ourselves in the foot and maybe even one 2537 02:21:34.520 --> 02:21:37.399 knee by keeping these sanctions on Russia, because it's harmed 2538 02:21:37.479 --> 02:21:39.639 us a lot more than it has them. And listen, 2539 02:21:39.799 --> 02:21:42.520 all of this, all of this, one hundred percent, came 2540 02:21:42.600 --> 02:21:47.920 from our absolute overt insistence on putting NATO into Ukraine, 2541 02:21:48.000 --> 02:21:51.360 something that would never keep anybody in Europe safer. All 2542 02:21:51.399 --> 02:21:54.200 that would do is exactly what it did is raised 2543 02:21:54.200 --> 02:21:57.399 the tensions, increase the chance of something bad happening where 2544 02:21:57.399 --> 02:21:57.879 we could. 2545 02:21:57.719 --> 02:21:59.840 End up in a war, and it didn't do anything 2546 02:22:00.200 --> 02:22:01.159 destroy Ukraine. 2547 02:22:01.200 --> 02:22:02.399 That is I think going to be one of the 2548 02:22:02.440 --> 02:22:05.319 biggest blights on the West and on the previous administration 2549 02:22:05.639 --> 02:22:06.840 that history can put on us. 2550 02:22:07.319 --> 02:22:10.479 Yeah, country filled with land mines in a post war situation. 2551 02:22:10.600 --> 02:22:12.520 It's just just a terrible thought when you come when 2552 02:22:12.559 --> 02:22:14.479 it comes down to it. And I drew a parallel. 2553 02:22:14.479 --> 02:22:16.239 I just kind of bounced this off your head earlier 2554 02:22:16.280 --> 02:22:19.520 in the program. I said, you know, if you look 2555 02:22:19.559 --> 02:22:22.840 like Crimea, for example, the vast majority of folks there 2556 02:22:22.920 --> 02:22:25.520 were pro Russia. They didn't have any problem with the 2557 02:22:25.600 --> 02:22:27.879 Russians taking them over. I said, you know, it's a 2558 02:22:27.959 --> 02:22:31.040 lot like those multiple counties in Illinois that want to 2559 02:22:31.079 --> 02:22:33.280 become part of Indiana or half of the state of 2560 02:22:33.360 --> 02:22:36.000 California that wants to break off and separate itself from 2561 02:22:36.040 --> 02:22:39.600 the insane leftists that currently run the country. You know, 2562 02:22:40.760 --> 02:22:42.479 we're not going to get Crimea back. And if you 2563 02:22:42.520 --> 02:22:44.879 ask the Crimeans, they probably would say, we don't want 2564 02:22:44.920 --> 02:22:48.079 to go back percent. 2565 02:22:48.520 --> 02:22:51.360 And it's not just that they're pro Russian, they're ethnic Russian. 2566 02:22:51.440 --> 02:22:54.799 I mean they are historically Russian. And in fact, I 2567 02:22:54.879 --> 02:22:56.280 may get the year wrong in this. I think it 2568 02:22:56.399 --> 02:22:59.680 was something about nineteen fifty they were part of Russia, 2569 02:22:59.719 --> 02:23:01.479 they were part of the Soviet Union, et cetera. 2570 02:23:01.680 --> 02:23:05.040 And then I think it was the Krushiev don't hold 2571 02:23:05.079 --> 02:23:05.319 me to that. 2572 02:23:05.440 --> 02:23:08.920 It was on one of the Soviet premiers just designated 2573 02:23:08.959 --> 02:23:11.440 it to Ukraine, which didn't really cause much of us 2574 02:23:11.440 --> 02:23:12.440 stir at the time because it was. 2575 02:23:12.440 --> 02:23:13.600 All within the USSR. 2576 02:23:13.959 --> 02:23:17.479 But the historically they have been Russian, and they ethnically 2577 02:23:17.600 --> 02:23:18.520 are still Russian. 2578 02:23:18.680 --> 02:23:21.079 And they voted. You don't even have to ask them because. 2579 02:23:20.840 --> 02:23:23.239 They told you what their own voice with this plea 2580 02:23:23.280 --> 02:23:25.360 to decide that they overwhelmed the I think ninety five 2581 02:23:25.399 --> 02:23:27.639 percent voted to be in Russian and all of them 2582 02:23:27.719 --> 02:23:32.040 Russians and Ukrainian Crimeans consider themselves to be Russians today, 2583 02:23:32.200 --> 02:23:34.559 So that's that's never coming back. And that's the case 2584 02:23:34.639 --> 02:23:37.479 with the majority of the area that is under Russia 2585 02:23:37.520 --> 02:23:40.799 control today in terms of ethnic Russians that are in there, 2586 02:23:41.120 --> 02:23:43.440 and it's even on the other side of the line 2587 02:23:43.760 --> 02:23:47.520 up to the Danepa River, still significant portions are ethnic Russians. 2588 02:23:48.000 --> 02:23:49.959 When that outcome is kind of what a lot of 2589 02:23:49.959 --> 02:23:52.559 people are wondering where these negotiations are going, because a 2590 02:23:52.680 --> 02:23:54.719 great many of those people want to go to Russia 2591 02:23:54.760 --> 02:23:56.079 as well well. 2592 02:23:56.280 --> 02:23:59.079 Trump talking directly with Putin to the exclusion of Lensky 2593 02:23:59.319 --> 02:24:01.879 that seems to rubbed them the wrong way. He's also, though, 2594 02:24:02.000 --> 02:24:05.520 negotiating with the President of Ukraine Zelenski, to deal with 2595 02:24:05.680 --> 02:24:09.120 economic relationships with them, because they have stuff that we 2596 02:24:09.200 --> 02:24:11.079 would like to buy, and if we buy it, then 2597 02:24:11.159 --> 02:24:15.479 that benefits them economically. So there seems to be an 2598 02:24:15.559 --> 02:24:20.680 air of positivity associated with it. In a post war environment, 2599 02:24:22.040 --> 02:24:25.799 how do you think Trump is dealing with the war component? 2600 02:24:25.879 --> 02:24:29.239 He can talk with Peutin all day long about economic relationships, 2601 02:24:29.280 --> 02:24:31.959 but settling the war, how do you think he's going 2602 02:24:32.040 --> 02:24:34.520 to approach that and what announcement do you think is 2603 02:24:34.600 --> 02:24:35.799 going to come from that, if any. 2604 02:24:36.760 --> 02:24:39.760 Yeah, that's going to be the really difficult part, which 2605 02:24:39.840 --> 02:24:42.319 is kind of shrouded in mystery so far. I'm sure 2606 02:24:42.360 --> 02:24:45.479 that's intentional, because I'm sure there's lots of discussions about. 2607 02:24:45.319 --> 02:24:46.719 Where the line is going to be. 2608 02:24:47.159 --> 02:24:48.440 Is it going to be on the current line of 2609 02:24:48.520 --> 02:24:50.520 contact between the two Is it going to be on 2610 02:24:50.600 --> 02:24:54.079 the administrative borders of the fort oblasted Russia annexed in 2611 02:24:54.120 --> 02:24:57.719 twenty twenty two, Because right now, a subsiizable portion of 2612 02:24:57.760 --> 02:25:01.479 all three of the southern provinces are still under Ukrainian control, 2613 02:25:01.559 --> 02:25:04.159 and for that to be the line, which Russians say 2614 02:25:04.200 --> 02:25:07.680 that is their minimum standard, Ukraine would have to withdraw 2615 02:25:07.840 --> 02:25:11.760 from there and abandon those areas through negotiations, not being 2616 02:25:11.799 --> 02:25:12.600 forced out by war. 2617 02:25:13.479 --> 02:25:14.559 That's what I advocate. 2618 02:25:14.639 --> 02:25:17.600 I think that's the best thing that could happen, because 2619 02:25:17.639 --> 02:25:20.520 the alternative is that Russia doesn't agree to the current 2620 02:25:20.600 --> 02:25:23.360 line of contact and they continue marching forward with their 2621 02:25:23.479 --> 02:25:26.639 armed forces until they seize territory by forced RUMs, which 2622 02:25:26.680 --> 02:25:29.200 means more Ukrainians would die. The line's going to be 2623 02:25:29.239 --> 02:25:30.879 over there, in my view, one way or the other, 2624 02:25:31.239 --> 02:25:33.719 either by negotiations where a lot of Ukraines have to 2625 02:25:33.799 --> 02:25:37.319 suffer the embarrassment but are alive to withdraw out, or 2626 02:25:37.440 --> 02:25:39.559 they'll take it and those people will be dead. And 2627 02:25:39.719 --> 02:25:42.000 so I think that it's that stark of an option 2628 02:25:42.159 --> 02:25:44.600 right now, and it's unknown right now what Trump's going 2629 02:25:44.639 --> 02:25:45.079 to agree to. 2630 02:25:45.719 --> 02:25:48.159 Do you think there's an economic component that would benefit 2631 02:25:48.319 --> 02:25:51.639 Ukraine in that type of resolution, like, hey, okay, we're 2632 02:25:51.639 --> 02:25:54.040 willing to concede the territory, but Russia, you got to 2633 02:25:54.079 --> 02:25:58.920 do something for us maybe providing energy or other resources. Again, 2634 02:25:59.000 --> 02:26:01.319 if you have free trade between those two countries after 2635 02:26:01.360 --> 02:26:03.760 you resolve your differences, it can only benefit both countries. 2636 02:26:04.239 --> 02:26:06.799 Is there a dangling carrot in there for Ukraine that 2637 02:26:06.840 --> 02:26:07.879 can make a concession. 2638 02:26:09.760 --> 02:26:12.319 You would have to have Russia make a concession from 2639 02:26:12.399 --> 02:26:14.639 a position of strength that they don't have to make. 2640 02:26:14.760 --> 02:26:17.799 They don't have to offer almost anything, because Russia is 2641 02:26:17.840 --> 02:26:21.079 willing to pay the price of losing more their soldiers, 2642 02:26:21.360 --> 02:26:23.440 extending the war and the cost to go along with that, 2643 02:26:23.799 --> 02:26:27.040 in order to secure this what they view as their 2644 02:26:27.360 --> 02:26:30.920 minimum security requirements on their border. That's the real crux 2645 02:26:30.959 --> 02:26:32.959 of all this is that Putin is not looking at 2646 02:26:33.000 --> 02:26:35.159 the getting the war over with. He's looking at the 2647 02:26:35.239 --> 02:26:37.559 long term security on his western border and why they 2648 02:26:37.600 --> 02:26:39.719 went to war in the first place. If he thinks 2649 02:26:39.760 --> 02:26:42.040 the current line of contact won't provide him that long 2650 02:26:42.120 --> 02:26:44.639 term security, he won't agree to it, and he doesn't 2651 02:26:44.680 --> 02:26:47.799 have to, And if Trump doesn't, Russia will just keep fighting. 2652 02:26:47.840 --> 02:26:50.760 And that's the problem is that Russia has leverage that 2653 02:26:50.879 --> 02:26:51.440 we don't have. 2654 02:26:51.959 --> 02:26:54.879 But to your question about the economics, Ukraine, whatever is 2655 02:26:54.920 --> 02:26:57.000 going to be left of it will one hundred percent 2656 02:26:57.920 --> 02:27:02.040 benefit economically because Europe is standing by already and that 2657 02:27:02.159 --> 02:27:05.600 was in Trump's meeting with Macron yesterday. They're standing by 2658 02:27:05.719 --> 02:27:08.680 to have all kinds of post war development and you know, 2659 02:27:08.959 --> 02:27:11.360 taking care of things that were destroyed, et cetera. So 2660 02:27:11.479 --> 02:27:13.719 there's a lot of benefit for the Ukraine's not the 2661 02:27:13.840 --> 02:27:15.959 least of which nobody else would have to die. 2662 02:27:16.719 --> 02:27:23.399 Now if this treaty, if a treaty resolution land concessions, 2663 02:27:23.760 --> 02:27:26.360 that Russia gets what they want. There's all this talk 2664 02:27:26.399 --> 02:27:30.079 about peacekeeping forces being kept in Ukraine. Do you think 2665 02:27:30.120 --> 02:27:33.079 there's really a necessary element of a peacekeeping force. If 2666 02:27:33.159 --> 02:27:37.840 Russia ultimately gets back or gets its Russian components out 2667 02:27:37.879 --> 02:27:40.600 of Ukraine, a new line is drawn. Is there any 2668 02:27:40.639 --> 02:27:43.000 further risk of Russia saying that'screw it, We're going to 2669 02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:43.719 go for the whole thing. 2670 02:27:45.399 --> 02:27:47.440 I mean, if they want to do that, they already 2671 02:27:47.440 --> 02:27:49.040 have the force in place right now and they can 2672 02:27:49.159 --> 02:27:52.360 just do it. There's reports out this morning that in 2673 02:27:52.479 --> 02:27:56.639 the Russian media and the Russian military media that what 2674 02:27:57.000 --> 02:27:59.280 Zelensky had said last week was one hundred and fifty 2675 02:27:59.319 --> 02:28:02.360 thousand formation of Russian forces that actually closer to two 2676 02:28:02.479 --> 02:28:03.159 hundred thousand. 2677 02:28:03.719 --> 02:28:05.120 That's not in contact. 2678 02:28:05.159 --> 02:28:08.000 It's in addition to everything that's about seven hundred thousand 2679 02:28:08.040 --> 02:28:09.200 on the line of contact. 2680 02:28:08.920 --> 02:28:10.000 Right now Russian forces. 2681 02:28:10.239 --> 02:28:13.399 There's another two hundred thousand, which by the way, is bigger, 2682 02:28:13.520 --> 02:28:15.559 probably by a factor of two than the one that 2683 02:28:15.719 --> 02:28:17.200 invaded Ukraine in the first place. 2684 02:28:17.280 --> 02:28:20.200 That's the size we're talking about. It's not engaged anywhere. 2685 02:28:20.280 --> 02:28:22.600 It is positioned to where it can go into a 2686 02:28:22.719 --> 02:28:26.200 number of different places if negotiations apparently break down, so 2687 02:28:26.399 --> 02:28:28.520 they can do it right now. But I think that 2688 02:28:28.600 --> 02:28:32.479 they want to get things done diplomatically as long as 2689 02:28:32.559 --> 02:28:35.440 they can get what they think is their security going forward. 2690 02:28:35.479 --> 02:28:38.239 And that's really what it all comes down to, all right, 2691 02:28:38.319 --> 02:28:41.200 As we've parted, coming to today, Daniel Davis, I just 2692 02:28:41.280 --> 02:28:46.360 always thoroughly enjoy these conversations. Do you see this a 2693 02:28:46.520 --> 02:28:49.920 negotiated resolution happening in the near term, you know, like 2694 02:28:50.159 --> 02:28:52.879 weeks as opposed to six months or another year. 2695 02:28:54.319 --> 02:28:57.639 Well, Trump yesterday, as press conference, said out loud that 2696 02:28:57.879 --> 02:29:00.639 he thinks that Zelensky could be here either this week 2697 02:29:00.760 --> 02:29:04.120 or next week to sign a deal for the minerals, 2698 02:29:04.520 --> 02:29:06.399 and then he said the war itself could be wrapped 2699 02:29:06.440 --> 02:29:08.799 up within a few weeks. He had his National Security 2700 02:29:08.799 --> 02:29:11.639 advisor earlier that morning yesterday said he could be done 2701 02:29:11.719 --> 02:29:15.200 as quickly as a week or two. So he's definitely 2702 02:29:15.319 --> 02:29:17.399 thinking that this is in the end game right now. 2703 02:29:18.200 --> 02:29:19.920 And then the question is going to be is Zelenski 2704 02:29:19.920 --> 02:29:22.280 you gonna accept it? Because I'm thinking that Trump is 2705 02:29:22.280 --> 02:29:23.920 getting to the position to where he's going to say 2706 02:29:23.959 --> 02:29:27.159 to Zelenski, you either accept this deal or good luck 2707 02:29:27.239 --> 02:29:28.799 to you, and you're up trying to figure it out 2708 02:29:28.840 --> 02:29:30.440 on your own because we're coming to an end. 2709 02:29:30.559 --> 02:29:33.920 I think that's what Trump's setting up. Fair enough. This 2710 02:29:34.040 --> 02:29:36.159 has been another Daniel Davis deep dive. I've always looked 2711 02:29:36.159 --> 02:29:37.840 forward to it. I'm already looking forward to another one 2712 02:29:37.879 --> 02:29:40.319 next Tuesday. Daniel.
